Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 440
I don’t know how much time passed, but a muffled groan came from the side hall of Beijing Palace.

This muffled groan was extremely familiar, and the demonic sound reached her ears. Princess Beijing blurted out as if struck by thunder: "So...it's you!"

"what?"

Lai Shangrong wondered why.

Although he still had some unfinished ideas, the emperor's mission had been completed and it was inconvenient for him to take advantage of the princess.

He leaned close to his ear, lowered his voice, and said cryptically: "It's my duty, I've offended you!"

Regardless of whether she understood it or not, she immediately raised her voice and said, "Please take care of yourself, Princess!"

Although he tidied up quickly himself, he didn't push the door out until Princess Beijing was done tidying up.

Facing King Beijing who collapsed on the ground with his robe soaked all over, he warned, "Be sure to take good care of the princess!"

Although the emperor's orders were unavoidable, and he could not abandon his family in order to save an unrelated person, if Princess Beijing found the dagger because of this, he would inevitably have a guilty conscience.

Therefore, before leaving, he told King Beijing to take good care of her and not to let her think too much.

King Beijing only thought that he knew the taste of the marrow and wanted to come and go often. He seemed a little excited and agreed: "Hey! Hey! Sir, please go slowly. If you want to come, just say it in advance!"

Under the escort of his monster-like eyes, Lai Shangrong walked away with two guards.

After leaving the palace, Lai Shangrong greeted the two guards to get into the carriage, and asked, "What's wrong with King Beijing Jing outside?"

Then he thought that he was overstepping his bounds and hurriedly added: "I have to go to the emperor to present the report later, so don't say it twice. Now that the matter has been settled, let's go to the palace and return to life as soon as possible!"

The two guards also showed expressions of admiration, and cupped their hands and said: "Your Excellency must be tired after devoting himself to death. The emperor told you before leaving that you can just go back and rest after finishing your work. We are enough to report!"

Then he said with a smile: "Besides, Mr. Lai is working hard inside, and you can't see how the prince behaves outside!"

Lai Shangrong knew that it was a lie to be considerate of his tiredness, but it was true to not ask in front of him. He immediately bowed slightly towards the palace to express his gratitude to the emperor for his kindness.

Not only did Lai Shangrong go home to rest, but the two guards returned to the palace.

Emperor Zhenglong was already impatient with waiting.

"Why did it take so long? But Shui Rong was unwilling and deliberately delayed?"

Wang Han and Ma Chao obviously had the emperor's trust, otherwise they would not have been given such a task.

He smiled and said: "I'm afraid not only is there no reluctance, but some like this tune. Before leaving, I invited Mr. Lai to go again! However, Mr. Lai has done his errands with all his heart..."

Then, he vividly recounted King Beijing's reaction.

After hearing this, Emperor Zhenglong secretly thought that he had miscalculated. He had long heard that these noble playboys had unknown evil habits, but he did not expect that Shui Rong was the same.

I originally wanted to observe his reaction from a close distance, but unexpectedly it satisfied him.

After thinking about it, he immediately told Wang Han and Ma Chao: "When you go to the Prince's Palace in Beijing again, tell Lai Aiqing that he wants you to take the princess to live in the palace for a while and see his reaction. If he accepts it happily, you guys Then he sent the person to Lai’s house.”

After a pause, he said: "If you have any dissatisfaction, please report to me tomorrow!"

Since Shui Rong has that kind of unknown hobby, he can't fulfill his wish. It would be better to take it by force instead, which would make it easier to see the signs.

After all, you can satisfy your hobby by doing it occasionally, but it is another matter if it is occupied by others for a long time.

He waved the two men away and ordered impatiently: "Quick! Send the sign to the office of Jingjing!"

It was not because Emperor Zhenglong had just listened to a melodrama that his blood was boiling, but because the accidents that happened to his two sons one after another gave him a strong sense of crisis.

The reason is still because of the thin blood.

Therefore, even though everything has been complicated and busy recently, he has still increased the frequency and intensity of farming.Not to mention how the emperor worked hard for the stability of the country.

Let’s talk about King Beijing sending away Lai Shangrong later.

I have to say that the two guards were very accurate in reading people. Perhaps it was because he had learned too early and had lost his vitality. He did have an unspeakable secret that needed help from outside.

He had never married a wife before, so he often invited noble children of similar age into his residence and entertained them with his favorite concubines, thus achieving an unknown purpose.

Jia Baoyu also received such treatment, so in the original work, the concubine of King Beijing who passed away was paid tribute to.

His marriage to Zhen Yuyao was originally a political marriage, and the princess was no better than a concubine. Even though he had this idea, he did not dare to act on it.

This smooth sailing actually fulfilled his long-awaited expectations.

In the past, at this time, when the impulse in his heart was aroused, it was his turn to jump on his horse and pick up the gun, and bravely pick up the erhu.

However, Lai Shangrong delayed for too long today. He was too excited and slipped away two or three times in a row.

He does not have Lai Shangrong's dragon-horse spirit, so although he is determined to kill the enemy, he has no spare power.

However, looking at the lingering lingering breath and panting princess, she felt as if she was scratching her heart and became more and more unwilling to miss this rare opportunity.

So, as soon as Lai Shangrong left, he blocked the princess in the house, and because he was worried that the smell would dissipate after a long time and lose its effect, he specially closed the doors and windows and planned to rest for a while.

Princess Beijing was very upset by his actions.

He knelt on the ground and said sadly: "I hid the property from the prince and hid the property for my mother's family. Now I have reaped the consequences. I believe that Mr. Lai will not hold on to the prince anymore.

It's just that I'm not yet...but I'm already unclean. If the prince feels that it's insulting to the family tradition, there's no need for the prince to take action. He only needs to give me a glass of poisonous wine or three feet of white silk, and let me die for the rest of my life! "

King Beijing was immediately displeased and said with a straight face: "It's really unlucky. There's no such thing as life and death. Before he left, he asked me to take good care of you. It's obvious that he knows how to taste by eating marrow. He plans to come and go often in the future. You If he dies and asks for someone from me, what should I give him?"

Seeing Princess Beijing's frightened face, fearing that she might have thoughts of committing suicide, he quickly added, "Don't worry! Not only will I not blame you, but I will ignore the past grudges and love you even more than before."

Speaking of this, he changed the subject and said: "However, if he comes again next time, don't be like today. You have to relax a little more. You must have a firm grip on his body and mind. It is best to let him go every once in a while." , come to our house once!"

"What?" Princess Beijing almost fainted when she heard his remarks.

Qiqi Ai Ai said: "It is indeed wrong for me to hide this from the prince. Why would the prince do this to me?"

The King of Beijing said eloquently: "Have I ever wronged you? That's because you are so talented..."

Just as he was talking, he heard shouts from outside: "Call the prince out quickly! My master asked us to come over and pick up the princess to stay for a while!"

King Beijing opened the door and saw that the two people outside the courtyard were Lai Shangrong's entourage.

"Please report back to Sir Lai. If he cares about the princess, he will do the same when he comes to my palace. I will never neglect you at all!"

The two guards were just following orders, but they never thought of working for Lai Shangrong's benefit. Looking at Beijing King, he said: "What? You don't want to?"

"How...how could it be...I'm just troubling Mr. Lai!"

At this time, the two of them also saw the princess in the hall, and did not want to delay, so they urged: "The princess happens to be here, so hurry up and follow us!"

Princess Beijing was also in a daze, but then she thought of the exchange between Lai Shangrong and Miaoyu in the prison.

I thought secretly, could it be possible that he discovered it?
Do you also want to be like a wonderful jade and take yourself home to settle down?
Based on King Beijing's fear of him, he later asked for a divorce note for himself, so he was not afraid that he would not agree.

This is a good solution.
