Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 891 I don’t like to hear mistakes, I want to hear the reasons
Two days later.

In a side hall of He County Post House, Ren Ruyi and Jin Meiniang were sitting across from each other on the desk.

"Your Majesty, I am late, please forgive me."

Ren Ruyi poured tea for Jin Meiniang and said:
"It's not too late at all. You came just in time. Liuli, who has been with me before, you should know."

Jin Meiniang understood and said: "My subordinates have also seen her. After bidding farewell to Your Majesty last time, I have followed your instructions and have been keeping an eye on Zhu Yiwei's movements for you."

"Yesterday, on my way to Hexian County, my subordinate received a flying pigeon from Jinbaozhan in Huzhou, Anguo, two hundred miles away. The owner said that he saw a woman wearing Zhu Yiwei's old-style earrings staying at the hotel, so he stayed Heart."

"Later, the old people in Wei Zhong recognized that she was Liuli, who had been with you before. My subordinates knew that Liuli was executed and expelled from Wei Zhong after you faked your death, so they felt that her sudden appearance was no accident, so they temporarily changed the itinerary. , rushed over overnight to explore the news."

"Unexpectedly, after she had just spoken to me for a few words, she began to ask me tentatively whether it was possible for you, Your Majesty, to still be alive. The subordinate pretended to be surprised and tried to trick her into saying something. Soon she said,"

Ren Ruyi answered directly:

"She is following Li Tongguang now, and Li Tongguang asked her to come over to confirm whether I am Ren Xin."

Jin Meiniang immediately replied:
"I don't dare to accept it. It's too late for Mei Niang to be happy if I can serve your Majesty."

"With Liuli's temperament, I'm afraid she might have heard your offensive words. No wonder she saw me in the Anguo military camp this morning, but was not that surprised. She must have insisted in front of Li Tongguang that I just look like Ren Xin. It’s just a resemblance, thanks to your quick reaction this time.”

"My subordinate said, the reason why the young Marquis treats her well is simply because she loved you so much because of her relationship with you back then. But if you are really still alive, she will take a step back."

"My subordinate thought that this was just a trip to honor the master, but later he joined the Jinsha Gang and took over the second prince to investigate the business of Marquis Changqing. Only then did he discover that he had the imperial painter who had met you under house arrest and painted many paintings. Your portrait is kept in the palace."

After listening to it, Ren Ruyi said in a calm tone:

"I don't like to hear mistakes, I want to hear the reasons." Ren Ruyi still looked calm.

"My subordinate just stood from her point of view and tactfully analyzed it for her. I know that Liuli had a hard time after leaving Zhu Yiwei. It was Changqing Marquis who took her in and took her in as a personal attendant. "

"He also found all the clothes you wore before and used them to pay homage to Your Majesty. Moreover, no matter who proposed marriage in these years, he rejected them all."

"The young Marquis almost went crazy after you left. No, he has already gone crazy." Jin Meiniang continued:
"The young Marquis thought that you had really died in the fire in the Tianlao, so he risked his life and bribed the guards, sneaked into the ruins every night, and dug bit by bit with his own hands, so that he could help His Majesty escape. His subordinates faked some bones and hid them in the soil at the Human Transformation Factory, and then he stopped as if he had found a treasure."

Jin Meiniang nodded: "Just as your Majesty expected."

"Then how did you tell her?" Ren Ruyi asked aloud.

"The imperial court said that you were the sinner who murdered the late empress and you were not allowed to be buried. So the young marquis secretly buried your fake bones in a secret cave. From then on, on the fifteenth day of every month, as long as he is in Andu, he will be buried. Go and worship without interruption."

"Young Master and I have met several times. Don't you realize that he has ulterior motives for you? It's not like an apprentice has for a master, but like a man has for a woman."

"This subordinate is guilty." Jin Meiniang lowered her head and said.

"But there is one thing that I have never thought clearly about. With how well-informed Jinshalou is about the news, how could you not know that Marquis Changqing is Jiu'er, but why were you so vague when you mentioned him?" Ren Ruyi decided. Looking at Jin Meiniang.

Ren Ruyi shook his head:
"You are overthinking. The reason why he refused to marry is probably because of his mother, the eldest princess."

"Your Majesty, you and I have both been white sparrows. This is the simplest way a man can think." Before Jin Meiniang could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ren Ruyi:
"Okay, there's no need to say it. So, you deliberately avoided mentioning Li Tongguang because you saw that I was different about Yang Jiao."

"Yes." Jin Meiniang nodded. Ren Ruyi had a look of nostalgia in his eyes and said:

"Thank you, but as Ren Xin, I have disappeared. Just as you, now called Mei Niang, are no longer Linlang. Zhu Yiwei taught us a lot and hurt us a lot. We can't forget the past, but we can't forget it either. There’s absolutely no going back to the past.”

"When I finish the task at hand, I also want to do something meaningful like you. It would be even better if I can help the former Zhu Yiwei guards."

"Sometimes I feel very contradictory. I obviously want to seek revenge from Zhu Yiwei, but I still want to help them."

"Your Majesty, you are compassionate. I wonder what you want to do when the time comes? Mei Niang also wants to participate."

"The reason why women become white sparrows is not only because their parents are cruel, but also because they have been restricted by dogma since childhood. They are simple-minded and have difficulty protecting themselves, so they are easily deceived. Therefore, I want to describe the white sparrows who have become Zhu Yiwei's abandoned sons. The finches gathered together and taught them how to make a living.”

"This is a good idea. Can Mei Niang make an appointment to teach abacus first? Mei Niang will be able to..." Jin Mei Niang suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Then can Yang Jiao also teach them?"

The smile on Ren Ruyi's face grew stronger:
"It's natural. I found that there is really nothing he doesn't know how to do. He is proficient in medicine, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and even other chores such as carpentry and wine making. If he were to teach , a minimum of words can serve as a guide to a dozen or so ordinary lessons.”

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Ren Ruyi said.

"Sister Ruyi, Marquis Changqing is here. He asked to see you by name, as well as His Highness, Du Changshi and Ning Tou'er." Yuan Lu walked in and said.

Not long after, in the lobby.

Ren Ruyi and Yang Ying sat on the main seats, Ning Yuanzhou stood beside Yang Ying, and Du Changshi and Li Tongguang sat on either side below.

"I don't want to talk nonsense. Previously, your princess proposed that as long as I am willing to help you welcome your Emperor Wu back, you are willing to give me the cities of Yun and Mian."

When Yang Ying heard this, she said coldly:

"Exactly."

"Okay, I agree, and I can guarantee that you will be done within a month." Ning Yuanzhou heard that there was a mystery in Li Tongguang's words, and said:

"Just tell me your other conditions."

Li Tongguang pointed at Ren Ruyi, but looked at Ning Yuanzhou and said:

"Give her to me and I will make your wishes come true."

Yang Ying took action:

"What a shame, the princess is Gu's sister."

Li Tongguang stood up, stared at Yang Ying and said:
"Now you are begging me. I will give you one night to think about it. At midnight tomorrow, you can either send her here or be prepared to collect the body of your emperor Yang Xingyuan."
