059. Vent
Rong Se lay paralyzed on the couch for a long time before he recovered. When he got up to wash, he was stunned when he saw the marks on his neck. He turned his head to look at Liang Shenyu, a gentleman who was steady and dignified. He snorted coldly and cursed him as a bastard in his heart.
This neck looks like it has been abused.
Liang Shenyu calmly accepted the glare, cleaned the prince's face and tied his hair himself, and finally bent down to kiss the tip of his ear.
Very intimate.
"I didn't make it clear last night, what's going on with Rong Jing?"
Liang Shenyu immediately declared his innocence: "After they led me into the room and found something wrong, I left."
Rong Se raised his eyebrows, "Leaving him out in the cold?"
"Of course." Liang Shenyu leaned over from behind and hugged him, laughing softly, "I don't want anyone else except you."
Rong Se gave him a look that said "you know my face" and then fell into deep thought.
Rong Jing really gave him a great gift.
If he doesn't retaliate, he won't be able to swallow this humiliation.
Just as he was about to call Yun Chu in, there was a knock on the door. It was Yun Chu who came to deliver lunch. As the servants were setting the table, Yun Chu whispered, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has invited the imperial physician from the palace. I heard that he has caught a cold."
Rong Se paused, "Really?"
Yun Chu lowered his eyes and said, "That should be true. I heard that he took a cold shower for half the night last night."
Rong Se thought what a coincidence.
Liang Shenyu whispered in his ear, "Yesterday he was in the room with the aphrodisiac incense burning, probably to counteract the effects of the drug."
Rong Se couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What is this? You will suffer the consequences if you do evil."
The retribution in this life came very quickly, and he didn't even have to do anything.
Rong Se was in a good mood. Although Liang Shenyu scared him a little, he felt balanced when he thought about their making love on the bed yesterday and his nephew taking a cold bath.
After lunch, Rong Se recovered a lot of his energy and stood up in high spirits, "My nephew is ill, Marquis Dingbei, let's go with me to see him."
Liang Shenyu laughed and nodded, "I obey your order."
Rong Jing was indeed ill, and quite ill. He had been drinking cold water for half the night yesterday and was filled with rage, so he had a high fever. He was conscious, but his face was pale and he looked weak. With his innocent face like a little white flower, he looked a bit pitiful.
"Thank you, uncle, for visiting." Rong Se leaned back on the couch and smiled reluctantly.
He saw the glaring marks on Rong Se's neck and naturally knew where they came from. Liang Shenyu explained it so clearly last night, how could he not know what happened between the two of them?
“You’re welcome.”
Rongse felt a little regretful.
I've heard before that in ancient times, catching a cold could easily lead to death, and it could also cause various complications. What a pity, Rong Jing doesn't look like he's going to die.
"An assassin tried to kill me yesterday." Rong Se picked up his tea and said calmly, "I thought my nephew was in danger and injured. It seems okay, but it's not appropriate for assassins to come and go freely in the palace. Those around me have been checked this morning. Let's check those around Your Majesty as well, so that we can have peace of mind."
They ran away, but with the Jinbei cavalry guarding outside, the dead soil must still be in the palace. Rong Se was determined to dig them all out by digging three feet underground.
If you get slapped, you should slap back twice. If you keep silent, people will think you are easy to bully.
What's more, Rong Jing, this shameless guy, used such despicable means to try to take Liang Shenyu away.
Rong Se felt depressed just thinking about it.
Rong Jing clutched the quilt tightly, unable to laugh, "No need, I am beside..."
"Your Majesty." Rong Se put down the tea and smiled slightly: "Lord Cao should have taught Your Majesty that if you dare to act, you must think about the cost of failure before doing some things. I am not here to discuss this with Your Majesty, Marquis Dingbei, check for me."
"Understood, sir." Liang Shenyu leaned over, grabbed the sword at his waist, and turned to walk out.
There was no one to serve in the room, so only Rong Se and Rong Jing were left.
Rongse was relaxed and at ease. He took out a cold cake from the food box he brought with him and ate it by himself, as if he didn't hear the sounds of fighting and noise outside.
"Uncle."
Rong Jing couldn't stand it any longer, "I am the emperor!"
"Well." Rong Se said lightly, looking up with a smile, "You are the emperor because I want you to be the emperor, my good nephew. You have done something shameful, but you are still so arrogant?"
Rongse has a gentle temperament, which is peaceful from the inside out, but when his face turns cold, his ruthlessness and sharpness are revealed between his charming eyes and eyebrows.
The original owner was not the Ninth Prince who allowed him to torture him, and Rong Se was certainly not the original owner's enemy who was deserted by everyone. That was why he wondered where Rong Jing got the confidence to look at him with the same eyes as if he was looking at garbage in a gutter.
Don’t you know who is trash now?
Rong Jing coughed twice in anger, and said in a hoarse voice with his eyes closed, "Uncle, do you think you can rest easy if you have won over the Marquis of Dingbei? If he plots rebellion for you, the Liang family's good reputation will be ruined by him. In the future, you two will be infamous in history books."
Rong Se smiled leisurely, "Didn't the Taizu Emperor of the Jin Dynasty also gain fame by rebelling and overthrowing the previous dynasty? If Your Majesty is wise, it must be because of the selfishness of the rebels. But if he is a foolish and unjust ruler, everyone will kill him. Your Majesty, why don't you understand this? Apart from being the legitimate son of the previous emperor, what else do you have?"
When Rong Se first came here, he did want to seek justice for the original owner, but he didn't want to be too cruel to Rong Jing at that time. After all, he came from a civilized society ruled by law. If Rong Jing was a qualified and good emperor who could make the people live and work in peace, it would not be impossible to show leniency to him.
But in the Jizhou case, Rong Jing was clearly a tyrant who only cared about the royal family and himself. He didn't care about his subjects at all. As long as he had no worries about food and clothing and held power above thousands of people, that was enough.
How can such a person be qualified to be emperor?
Rong Jing was used to thinking highly of himself, and was flustered by Rong Se's question, but he still put on a noble attitude and said, "My mother's family is clean, and I am the legitimate son of the late emperor. That's enough. Is there anyone in the world who is more worthy of the throne than me?"
"Anyone is worthy." Rong Se felt that Rong Jing had all kinds of problems except self-awareness, and couldn't help but sneer, "Your bloodline is worthless in the eyes of the people. Whoever can make them live well is worthy of being the emperor. Your Majesty, this world does not belong to you, but to those so-called peddlers and hawkers in your eyes."
After saying this, Rong Se shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's like playing the lute to a cow. Your Majesty, take good care of it and don't miss the ancestor worship in two days."
The original novel did not mention much about the achievements of Emperor Rong Jing. There was only the story of his love affair with Liang Shenyu after he became his mistress. After Rong Se came to this world, he gradually discovered those things that were not mentioned in the original novel. It seemed that they were deliberately hidden, and only an illusion of peace and prosperity was presented at the tip of the pen.
For example, the hidden story behind the death of the old marquis and his two sons, the handwriting of Rong Xu in the Jizhou unjust case, and the ridiculous Rong Jing who was ignorant of state affairs.
Rong Jing was already ill, and now his complexion looked even uglier.
Before Liang Shenyu returned to the capital, he learned that Marquis Dingbei was going to lead the Jinbei Cavalry to defend the king, and he even hoped that Marquis Dingbei could kill Rong Se directly to prevent future troubles.
I have thought of many things, but I never expected the current situation.
Rong Se was lecturing him here like a wise man, but Marquis Dingbei was clipping his wings outside.
Rong Se didn't look at Rong Jing, who was so angry that his face turned pale, and just said calmly: "Become the king and defeat the enemy, Your Majesty."
Sometimes fists are more effective than reason. Rong Se learned this the day he learned to fight back.
Moreover, Rong Se is not very good at swearing and cannot say those dirty words. He usually just talks about reason. If reason doesn't make it through, he will use force.
It is much more useful than greeting all your ancestors.
.
The search for the assassin went more smoothly than expected, all thanks to Marquis Dingbei.
From the emperor's followers to the servants in the palace, there was no need to ask questions. Just by showing their swords, it was easy to tell who had martial arts skills.
Not long after, Liang Shenyu came back to report.
"Your Highness, we found ten people in total. All of them committed suicide on the spot. No one survived."
This is what the Dead Land is like. Once your identity is discovered, you must commit suicide immediately.
However, Rong Se originally did not intend to find out anything from these dead bodies. He just wanted to vent his anger. Now that he was in a good mood, he nodded and said, "Then bury the corpses. Just consider it as a reward from the king for their loyalty. Unfortunately, they followed the wrong master. Apart from the king, I am afraid there is no one who can even collect the corpses for them."
Liang Shenyu laughed out loud, "Your Majesty is merciful. I understand."
The two of them sang in unison, secretly insulted Rong Jing a few more times, and then left together under Rong Jing's gloomy and jealous gaze.
As soon as he walked out of the yard, Rong Se's legs went weak and he staggered. Liang Shenyu hurriedly supported him and held him in his arms.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Rong Se's waist and legs were sore, and he leaned on him to stand steadily. His calm and composed look in front of Rong Jing disappeared in an instant, and he just glared at him.
"What's wrong with me?"
If he hadn't held his breath, there was no way he would have gotten up from the couch today! Absolutely impossible!
Liang Shenyu realized it later. He was proud in his heart, but his face was full of guilt. He lowered his eyebrows and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, my lord. It's all my fault. I will definitely not do this again next time."
"You're right..." Rong Se's hand, which had just moved twice, suddenly stopped, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a lukewarm voice, "Are you already thinking about next time?"
What kind of attitude is this?
I was wrong. Will I dare to do it again next time?
Liang Shenyu wanted to pick him up and carry him back, but Rong Se refused, so he could only half hug him and half hold him, whispering affectionately in his ear: "No, no, what do you want for dinner?"
Although the dishes cooked by the chef were all taught by Rong Se, Rong Se was still used to eating what he cooked himself. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's talk about it after I wake up."
I think I'll have enough energy to cook for myself after I wake up.
"One more thing." Rong Se suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Rong Jing won't be honest. Don't be too critical of him. Let him do whatever he wants. Don't interfere."
Liang Shenyu noticed something and smiled softly, "It seems that the prince has other plans?"
"That depends on what my nephew wants to do." Rong Se snorted, not hiding his intention to plot at all, "Marquis Dingbei, wait and see how he will lift a rock and drop it on his own feet."
He deliberately revealed his true self in front of Liang Shenyu.
Although he is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the original owner, he is definitely not a saint.
Liang Shenyu, however, preferred his clever look and laughed softly, "Then I will wait and see."
