Chapter 311 Saw
What's the matter, Your Majesty, that asked you to wait for me there?
Rong Yi: "The prince only said that after picking you up, you should return to the mansion immediately and not go out. Don't let anyone see you like this."
Although Xie Shuangbai was confused, he still did as he was told.
Rong Ye had been annoyed for the past two days because Xie Shuangbai was not around, and the sound of crickets chirping in his ears made him even more annoyed!
He looked at the sky and felt that Xie Shuangbai should be back, so he was about to go back.
Suddenly, Nanny Chang stopped him in his tracks: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother invites you."
Rong Ye felt annoyed when he saw that the Queen Mother had sent someone to invite him again.
In the past two days, she had used various excuses to invite him to Shoukang Palace. Thinking of the scene where the two of them looked at each other in silence, he really didn't want to play this boring drama anymore, so he said lightly:
"I have to go back to accompany the princess today."
After saying this, he left without waiting for Nanny Chang's reaction.
Outside the small Buddhist hall in Shoukang Palace.
"Princess?" The Queen Mother, still recovering from the Emperor's sudden passing, said weakly, "That male concubine?"
"Yes, Madam, you asked me to find someone before..."
The Queen Mother interrupted her: "Alright, you are blaming me for making the wrong decision!"
Nanny Chang quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "I dare not, but..." She glanced at the Queen Mother and said cautiously:
"I see that the prince treats this male princess very well. Wouldn't it be better for us to start with this male princess?"
The Queen Mother leaned on the sandalwood couch and felt cold all over.
"Yu'er was just killed by a Nanzhao woman, and now there's a male concubine." She seemed to be thinking of something: "How is that Nanzhao woman now?"
"According to your instructions, he is imprisoned in the Sky Prison!"
The Queen Mother said viciously, "It's all her fault that Yu'er was harmed. I will tear her into pieces!"
Nanny Chang thought that the most important thing now was not the Nanzhao woman's matter. If the anger of His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang that had lasted for more than ten years was not subsided, what would they do in the future?
The prince is still so young, they can only rely on His Royal Highness Prince Liang in the future!
She hesitated and said, "What about this male concubine?"
The Queen Mother wiped her tears. Although she was angry, she still had to rely on Rong Ye to keep her position as the Queen Mother.
She put down her handkerchief and said, "Don't worry, I'll make plans after meeting this male concubine another day."
As soon as Rong Ye entered the dormitory and saw Xie Shuangbai tidying up his clothes, he couldn't help but hug him from behind.
"Is the journey tiring?"
Xie Shuangbai turned around and looked at Rong Ye, who looked a little tired. "Fortunately, it's much easier now that we have the official road!"
He touched Rong Ye's face: "You've lost weight!"
Rong Ye grabbed his hand and kissed it. Xie Shuangbai sat in his arms and hugged him: "Why don't you let me show up?"
"Guess who I met?"
Xie Shuangbai thought for a moment, "Saintess of Nanzhao?"
"That's right, the reason I didn't let you show up is because you look 80% like the Nanzhao girl!"
When Rong Ye saw the Holy Maiden of Nanzhao, he was shocked.
Her eyes were exactly the same as his baby's.
He absolutely didn't believe that they were not related by blood.
What about others? Will they make a fuss about this? So he can't let his baby be threatened in any way.
"I am from Nanzhao?" But then Xie Shuangbai denied this statement.
His grandfather and his father are authentic Dayin people, there is no doubt about that. The only variable is his mother. Could it be that his mother is?
Rong Ye had seen Bai Rushui before, "She should be your mother."
Xie Shuangbai was also curious, how similar they were!
He pulled Rongye: "Can you take me to see her?"
Xie Shuangbai was afraid that the Queen Mother would do some inhuman torture to her, "Is she okay?"
Rong Ye: "She's fine. I've arranged a new cell for her. It's getting late today, so I'll take you there tomorrow morning!"
Xie Shuangbai also knew that this matter could not be rushed.
Suddenly a cooing sound was heard.
He looked at Rong Ye with a smile, "Haven't you eaten yet?"
Rong Ye nodded. He hadn't eaten enough in the past two days and he really couldn't get used to the food in the capital.
"What would you like to eat tonight?"
"Hot pot." He added, "All vegetarian."
It is indeed not good to eat meat during the emperor's mourning period.
He turned around and told his servants to prepare the ingredients.
After a while, the house was filled with the rich aroma of spicy hot pot.
The ingredients in the red soup base are constantly rolling in the soup, and the crispy vegetables thrown in are dyed red, which makes people's appetite just by looking at it.
Xie Shuangbai picked up some wide noodles for Rong Ye, put them in the prepared sesame sauce and handed it to him:
"Is the Queen Mother okay? What do you think about the Emperor's affairs?"
Rong Ye could no longer resist the gluttony in his stomach by smelling the rich aroma of hot pot.
He picked up another mushroom and said, "He will be buried in a few days. Elder Zhang and his men will be drafting a posthumous title."
Xie Shuangbai was puzzled. "Then why did the Empress Dowager call you back in such a hurry?"
When Rong Ye mentioned this, his expression turned ugly. He sneered:
"The Queen Mother has been asking me to go to Shoukang Palace these past few days, hinting that she wants me to be the regent."
Xie Shuangbai understood now. He remembered that Rongyu had a son.
After all, she still loves her eldest son and would rather give the throne to her grandson than let her second son become emperor. What a great mother she is!
What's more, the country is strong but the leader is weak, and neighboring countries are eyeing it covetously. They don't even consider the country's future but only care about their own selfish interests. It is really disheartening.
It would be really tragic if Rongye agreed.
He had just placed his eldest brother's son on the throne. Now, when the little emperor came of age, how would he, as the regent, deal with the situation?
From a historical perspective, powerful officials never have a good ending.
Xie Shuangbai advised: "We can't agree to this."
Rong Ye swallowed another mouthful of meat and said, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
He put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Xie Shuangbai: "This time it's not me who's fighting for it, it's God who's giving me this opportunity. If I can't seize it, then it means I'm incompetent!"
Xie Shuangbai was very glad that he was sober.
"Even if we don't do it for ourselves, we must do it for Chi'er."
"I see!"
Seeing his determined look, Xie Shuangbai didn't say anything more.
The next morning, Rong Ye took the disguised Xie Shuangbai to the Heavenly Prison.
The jailer saw Rong Ye and said respectfully, "Your Highness has already changed the cell for the Saintess of Nanzhao as you ordered."
The jailer's eyes rolled around, and he glanced at the man wearing a black veil behind Rong Ye.
Rong Ye glanced at Rong Yi, who understood and said, "Leave the key, you are not needed here anymore."
The jailer dared not disobey and quickly handed over the key.
After they left, he cursed softly, "What's so great about him? He's just an unloved prince. He can only show off his power in front of me!"
The people in the capital were afraid of the King of Liang on the one hand, and looked down on him on the other.
They felt that he was just a warrior and was not liked by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
Just as he finished his sarcastic words, Rong Wu's hidden weapon hit him, leaving his mouth full of blood. He looked around and saw no one, which made him feel even more terrified. He quickly cried and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
After seeing that there was no movement, he covered his mouth and ran out.
Rong Wu glanced at his figure and followed Xie Shuangbai silently.
Bai Rushui has had a very quiet life these days.
Although the new cell is better than the previous one, it is still a prison cell and cannot be compared with the Changhua Palace.
But this doesn't affect her at all.
