Chapter 310 Xie Shuangbai Arrives
Seeing that their father remained silent, the sons didn't know what to do.
Zhang Ge Lao: "You must be patient and be vigilant. Your father will lead all the ministers in mourning for the emperor. You must not leave the palace unless necessary. If you are outside, keep a low profile and keep your mouth shut."
Seeing their father so serious, the three sons whispered, "I understand, Dad!"
"Everyone, get off!"
After the three of them left, Lord Zhang in the study was in a state of confusion.
From the recent correspondence between Prince Liang and the others, he sensed his intention to move forward. Although the obstacles were now halved, there were still undercurrents.
Rong Ye galloped all the way. Three days later, ten thousand soldiers finally arrived at the capital.
Rong Ye asked Qin Yan to lead his troops to station at the edge of the capital and act according to the signal.
The deterrent effect of ten thousand soldiers is not small. Those who wanted to stir up trouble began to give up their thoughts when they saw Rong Ye really brought so many soldiers.
When the Queen Mother heard Nanny Chang come to report that Prince Liang had arrived, her weak expression brightened.
"Hurry, let him in!"
Rong Ye brought Rong Yi into Shoukang Palace.
As he walked in Shoukang Palace, he found that the road that he had never been able to finish walking when he was a child could now be reached so quickly.
The layout of the palace is still the same as before, but he is no longer the person who was looked down upon.
It took him sixteen years to get his mother to see him.
But when he really got here, he found that he no longer cared about what his mother thought of him.
The lonely boy finally grew up to be the invincible man he is today!
Many palace maids in the distance were curiously glancing at the King of Liang.
They had always heard of his reputation, but had never seen him. Even during the New Year holidays, they had never seen Prince Liang come to the capital. It seemed that he was not favored by the Queen Mother.
However, this does not affect the handsomeness of His Royal Highness Prince Liang.
Rong Ye's heroic temperament and tall figure made the empress dowager dazed.
It was like seeing the late emperor when he was young.
She stared at Rong Ye in a daze for a long time.
Until his call to the Empress Dowager interrupted her thoughts.
The Queen Mother was somewhat displeased.
What does this mean? He didn't even call her mother, but directly called her the Queen Mother. Is he blaming her?
Nanny Chang glanced at the Queen Mother and knew that she was unhappy, so she quickly said:
"The Second Young Master is finally back. The Empress has been talking about him all the time, saying how hard it was for you to guard the border and how worried she was about you all day long!"
Nanny Chang wiped her tears and said, "The eldest son passed away suddenly. The Empress Dowager couldn't eat or sleep all day. Now that you are back, the Empress Dowager is relieved!"
Rong Ye's heart had been broken by them for a long time. No matter what Nanny Chang said, he still said calmly: "Where is the emperor's mourning hall? I will go and burn incense first."
Nanny Chang hurriedly called out to the young eunuch: "Quickly take the Second Young Master to pay tribute to the Emperor!"
The young eunuch said respectfully, "Your Highness, please come this way!"
Rong Ye turned and walked out the door. The Queen Mother looked at his back with uncertainty in her heart.
"The second son has become so different that I can no longer recognize him. He looks just like the late emperor. I'm afraid he won't be willing to be a stepping stone!"
Nanny Chang also felt that this was a difficult matter. After all, only a fool would give up the throne that had already been obtained, but she did not dare to say it.
"His Royal Highness Prince Liang has arrived—"
Everyone in the mourning hall looked towards the door.
Rong Ye, wearing silver soft armor, was like a god of war descending to earth. Everyone looked at his outstanding figure and unconsciously compared him with the emperor.
The answer is obvious.
Rong Ye looked at the huge mourning hall. Many ministers, concubines, maids and eunuchs were kneeling on the ground, crying sadly.
But I don’t know who is crying so sadly!
The little palace maid handed over the incense, and Rongye silently lit the incense for Rongyu.
He turned around and saw Lord Zhang kneeling in front of him. Their eyes met, as if they had reached some secret agreement.
When Concubine Li Shu saw him, she excitedly said, "Prince of Liang, Your Highness Prince of Liang must avenge the Emperor! The Nanzhao Kingdom harmed the Emperor. Your Highness, please lead the troops to attack Nanzhao and avenge the Emperor!"
The quiet mourning hall was made extremely noisy by Concubine Li Shufei.
Rong Ye couldn't help but glance at her.
There was a young child kneeling beside her.
I think it's his nephew.
The kneeling little man seemed to have sensed something and looked at Rong Ye timidly.
Zhang Ge Lao looked at Concubine Li Shu, who had suddenly lost control of her emotions, and hurriedly ordered: "Your Majesty, you have been working hard at keeping vigil. Help her go in and rest!"
Tuan Ge'er, who was kneeling beside them, followed Concubine Li Shu and was helped into the next room by everyone.
Rong Ye asked, "Master, do you know where the Saint Girl of Nanzhao is?"
Zhang Ge Lao did not expect that he would ask the Saint Girl, and said:
"The Emperor passed away suddenly, and the Empress Dowager had the Saint Girl imprisoned. She has been busy with the Emperor's funeral these past few days and hasn't had time to interrogate her."
"I'll go to the trial myself."
Zhang Ge Lao nodded. "That's fine. His Highness the Prince of Liang has just arrived in the capital and has never met the Saintess of Nanzhao. Interrogation is the most appropriate."
This is obviously said to those who have doubts.
"I will send someone to take His Highness to the Heavenly Prison right now."
Rong Ye nodded: "Thank you, Lord!"
Soon, the young eunuch took him to the sky prison.
Rong Ye frowned as he entered the damp and dark prison.
The death row prisoners in the Tianlao were shouting desperately, saying that they were innocent, but the warden scolded them and told them to shut up.
Rong Ye said nothing, but one could imagine the look on his face.
At the end of the sky prison, in a room stained with blood and filled with rats running around, Rong Ye saw the legendary Saint Maiden of Nanzhao.
She was wearing white clothes and had her back to him, as if she was unaware of the filth around her. She was quietly reading a book, completely out of tune with the surrounding environment.
Bai Rushui seemed to notice someone was looking at her. She raised her head slightly and saw a man wearing silver soft armor standing in front of her.
Rong Ye was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ordered, "Change her to a better cell." Before leaving, he ordered again, "No one is allowed to torture her without permission. Do you understand?"
Although the prison boss didn't understand why, he didn't dare to disobey the orders.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will take good care of the Saint!"
Rong Ye looked at him coldly and said, "Remember what to say and what not to say."
The jailer was sweating profusely. What was going on? How could he have encountered such a living devil?
"I understand. I understand everything!"
Rong Ye came out of the prison and looked at the sunset outside, and thought of the saint he had just seen.
He asked, "When will the princess arrive?"
Rong Yi: "Master, I will be there the day after tomorrow."
"Have the princess wait for me at the house the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, Master."
Xie Shuangbai took the official road, which was now repaired and not so difficult to travel. After arriving at Luoshui Town, he took a boat for nearly a day and finally arrived in Ningcheng.
Rong Yi has already brought people to wait at Ningcheng Wharf.
"Princess, your subordinates are here to pick you up on the orders of the prince!"
Xie Shuangbai originally wanted to take Rong Chi with him, but since the situation here was complicated, he decided to let Chunxiaqiudong take care of it. He looked at Rong Yi with a bad expression and said, "Let's go, go back first."
There were not many people, and the luggage only consisted of a few pieces of clothes, which Rong Wu could carry with one hand.
The few of them soon arrived at Rong Ye's house in the capital.
Xie Shuangbai asked in surprise, "The prince has a house in the capital?"
Rong Yi replied: "Yes, but I don't come back often, so not many people know about it."
Xie Shuangbai thought to himself that Rong Ye was still a big shot who loved to buy houses.
