Chapter 120
Although the emperor is very afraid of this uncle, but after all, they are of the same clan and surname, and now this prince is the only one left in the capital, who has no power or power in his hands, so it would be most convenient for him to replace him and take a scapegoat or something .As long as you hold Sima Xukong's life gate, you can make him work for you, and Sima Xukong is very human, he is just covering up his true level.If the world can see the real Sima Xukong, everyone will be crazy about it, and this is why Xue Liangshan chose Sima Xukong.

Xue Liangshan thought that he would grow old one day, and he only had one daughter, so he had to find someone safe to take over the property he had worked so hard to get back!
Seeing that her father did not speak, Xue Lingruo also found out that the eldest grandson Jingrong is a powerful character, so she changed her attitude and said slowly: "Just now, maybe you misunderstood what my father and I meant. We are also worried that the prince will not be able to find a A caring woman came to him. Now it seems that we are all superstitious. Daddy, it's getting late, should we go back home? "

Xue Lingruo's unrestrained performance really made Changsun Jingrong feel inferior, even the actors on the stage couldn't match it.Hey, it would be a pity if Xue Ling didn't perform on stage.

Seeing the smiling face of Changsun Jingrong, Xue Lingruo reluctantly said: "What I said today, I hope the girl can think about it carefully. After all, what I just said is not all exaggeration. At least your family will be affected by your choice. Fate has changed! As a woman, it’s better not to be too stubborn, and it’s good to listen to other people’s arrangements.”

Xue Lingruo knew about Changsun Jingrong's Achilles heel, that's why she used her family to threaten her.But even if it is a deathbed, Changsun Jingrong has a way to turn hostility into friendship, so that everyone in the Changsun family can live in peace and security.But there is no need to say it now, let the father and daughter be complacent first, or else they will make a waste of time in this cold weather, not to mention nothing, and they will be embarrassed, which makes Changsun Jing How to bear it?So Changsun Jingrong nodded immediately, showing a perfunctory look of teasing the child.

Taking a deep breath, the corners of Xue Lingruo's mouth twitched stiffly, and said, "Don't think that your cleverness will protect you for the rest of your life. One day, you will regret it!"

"Who knows what will happen in the future? I just want to live a comfortable life right now." Changsun Jingrong didn't bother to argue with the two of them any more, so he called the butler in, explained something, then got up and said, " The two of you came here today really abruptly, the next time you 'visit', someone will come to inform you, so that the servants can prepare for it, and you can't be rude every time!"

What Changsun Jingrong said was very sincere, but anyone with long ears could hear the provocation and ridicule in the words, and wanted to go forward to say something, but his father grabbed him and gave him a wink.

"Father, are we going to let that woman go?!"

"Now is not the time to trouble her," Xue Liangshan patted the wrinkles on his body, and said, "and there will be opportunities to deal with her in the future, why rush for a while? We are here today to check the details of women, now we know , it’s not a waste of time to go.”

Xue Liangshan's voice was deep and hoarse, which made Xue Lingruo's impetuous heart calm down slowly, and it took a while before he returned to normal.Looking at the Nine Princes' Mansion again, Xue Lingruo's eyes became a little more gloomy.

Perhaps he heard about the incident during the day from the housekeeper. As soon as Sima Xukong returned to the mansion, he hurried to Changsun Jingrong, with a little anxiety in his eyes, and asked, "I heard that Xue's father and daughter came to look for him during the day. You? You didn't let them bully you, did you?"

Changsun Jingrong embroidered a veil with his head down, and without looking at Sima Xukong, he said in a flat voice, "Didn't you say you wanted to protect me? Why would someone come to confront me openly? If it wasn't for my cleverness , this General Xue is probably going to kill someone, I really don’t know when I forged such a deep hatred with them, and I have to pay with blood!"

Looking nervously at Changsun Jingrong, Sima Xukong sat beside her and asked, "What else did the old man tell you?"

"Actually, he didn't say much, just let me leave your side. If I don't obey, they will use my family to force me to submit."

"Bastard!" Sima Xukong was furious, slapped his palm on the table, and said angrily, "What are they, dare to say such words! It seems that I am too polite to this father and daughter on weekdays, so I will Let them be so confident! Jingrong, don't worry, nothing like this will happen again, I will let them go to the mansion to apologize to you in person!"

Putting down the needle and thread in his hand, Changsun Jingrong looked at Sima Xukong and said coldly: "Now, I won't believe any of your promises. I thought the palace was safe, but now it seems that everything They are all illusions! Sima Xukong, save your sweet words to coax other women, I won't be fooled by you anymore!"

Hastily holding the hand of the eldest grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong said anxiously: "Jingrong, don't be angry, I am serious this time, I will send more people to protect you, and I will never let irrelevant people approach you again." Yours. And I will also protect your family and teach the Xue family father and daughter a lesson! In short, let you vent your anger!"

"According to what you said, you are not serious about what you said before?"

"No, that's not what I meant... oops!"

Seeing Sima Xukong scratching his ears and cheeks, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help laughing, which made Sima Xukong stunned for a while, and then realized that this little daughter was playing tricks on him. Said: "You really want to frighten me to be willing!"

"Just to scare you, you feel that you can't bear it, so I deserve it when I sit in the house and suffer an innocent disaster? There is no such good thing in the world!" Changsun Jingrong put the half-embroidered handkerchief aside , said, "The Xue family's father and daughter's ambitions are growing day by day. You'd better make a plan early, or you may find it difficult to escape. But today I used the Empress Dowager as an excuse, and he didn't dare to speak evil words, which shows how much he has in his heart." There are still taboos. You have to subdue him before he takes power, otherwise he will bite you back, and it will be enough for you."

Sima Xukong nodded and said: "I have made plans for this matter before. Since I don't want to be used by General Xue, I can only protect myself wisely."

"Protect yourself wisely? It's easier said than done, but now General Xue is showing affection for you everywhere. I'm afraid even the emperor thinks that the two of you have something to do with each other. How can you take it off?" Changsun Jingrong's face was calm. Analyzing deeply, "You have only two choices now, either stand beside the Empress Dowager and serve the royal family, or support the Xue family on the surface, and then destroy the Xue family secretly!"

Sima Xukong seemed to be quite interested in what the grandson Jingrong said. He rested his chin on his hand, looked at her with bright eyes, and asked, "If it was Jingrong, how would you choose?"

"Me..." Changsun Jingrong smiled and said, "I don't know how to choose these two ordinary paths. I will grab Fang Taishi's handle and drag him down from the position of Grand Master!"

Sima Xukong didn't expect his eldest grandson Jingrong to say such words, he couldn't help wondering: "What does this have to do with Taishi Fang?"

Looking sideways at Sima Xukong, Changsun Jingrong said slowly: "Grandmaster Fang has not had a few good days to jump around. If you can support your own power to become a new grandmaster after his downfall, then your bargaining chip will be great." One more point, let the situation be in your favor!"

Leaning his body forward, Sima Xukong asked with a smile on his face: "I didn't even know that Grand Master Fang was about to fall, how did you know?"

"Didn't you see that the emperor dotes on that foreign woman? That woman is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. She will implicate the smart Fang Taishi and make him fall! And if you want to take advantage of it for nothing, follow my advice. Do what you say, this time, he will definitely have no chance to stand up again!"

"Hey, sometimes I really know what's going on in your head, and it always surprises me." Sima Xukong said with a smile, then leaned forward and kissed his eldest grandson Jingrong on the cheek. Down.

Frowning and wiping his cheeks, Changsun Jingrong said coldly: "You forgot what I told you last time, right? There is still time to be bored here, have you found out everything I told you? !"

Perhaps Sima Xukong was in a really good mood at the moment, sitting down beside his eldest grandson Jingrong, and said triumphantly: "Is there any reason why you don't understand what you entrusted to me?"

"Then what did you find out?"

Putting his arms together, Sima Xukong said: "I have checked, the late emperor's favorite concubine, Zhao Guifei, once gave birth to a dragon son for the late emperor. It was just because of her frail body that she died not long after birth. Later, Zhao Guifei He was also lingering on the bed due to physical weakness, and after half a year, he also let go."

Changsun Jingrong narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Can you find out what's wrong with Concubine Zhao?"

"The first emperor's heirs are weak, so even the little princes and princesses who died of illness have their own graves. But when I went to check on this prince, I found that he didn't have a grave, but only a memorial tablet."

Tapping his fingers on the table, Eldest Sun Jingrong reasoned, "Is it because you are too young to be qualified?"

"Impossible," Sima Xukong immediately rejected the grandson Jingrong, and said, "The late emperor still favored Concubine Zhao very much. Even if the child is not qualified to own a tomb, the emperor will make an exception and build one for him."

"The first emperor..." Changsun Jingrong murmured, then looked sideways at Sima Xukong, and asked, "Isn't that just your brother, do you still need to inquire about these things? You should have experienced it all! "

Hearing this, Sima Xukong smiled wryly, and said: "I am only a few years older than Emperor Longrui, and I was only a child when the incident happened, how do I know? Although the first emperor is my elder brother, we are not the same age. It's very big, and my mother and concubine are not favored. When I was a child, I basically hid in the palace alone, no one played with me, and no one accompanied me to talk, how do I know what's going on outside?"

This was the first time Changsun Jingrong heard Sima Xukong talk about his past, so he couldn't help softening his voice, and asked: "But you are the most carefree among the princes now, this can be regarded as making up for the past. "

Unexpectedly, Sima Xukong snorted coldly, and said: "No one can make up for what happened back then, except to pay for it with life. The things in the palace are far more complicated than what you have experienced, so I would rather you never give up." I know the truth about this." Sima Xu turned his gaze away, looked affectionately at Changsun Jingrong, and asked, "Can you tell me now why you want to investigate these things?"

His eyes fell on the window frame a bit erratically, Changsun Jingrong said: "Now is not a good time, when I think the time is ripe, I will naturally tell you."

"But when the time is right, it may be when you are in danger. Don't you ever think about how much I will worry about you?" Sima Xukong slowly put away his smile, staring directly at Changsun Jing Rong, frowning slightly, said, "I know you are in danger, but I can only watch. Do you know how painful my heart is? I want you to stand behind my arms and enjoy peace, but you But you always run out to meet the thunder and rain, and do some dangerous things to make me worry, sooner or later, I will be scared to death by you!"

His lips pouted, and Changsun Jingrong said with a little dissatisfaction: "I didn't do these things for excitement. I also have a reason, okay? I just haven't got enough evidence yet. When the matter is confirmed, I'm the first to tell you, okay?"

Sighing deeply, Sima Xukong stroked her cheek with his big palm, and said, "I don't want to know the truth of the matter, I just want you to be safe. Jingrong, why are you always fluttering? What do you do? Why is it always dangerous? In your heart, I am an unreliable man, so I let you do everything by yourself? "

Breathing at a close distance, Changsun Jingrong could feel Sima Xukong's scorching heat, so he couldn't help shrinking back, and said: "Some things cannot be explained clearly by words alone. It’s better to speak with the facts.”

Sima Xukong leaned over persistently, and asked, "For example? Is there something that words can't explain clearly?"

For example, how did I come back from the dead...

The eldest grandson looked down at his ring, unable to tell what it was like.It was like a dying person struggling in the water, wanting to find a solid and powerful arm to lift him up, but worried that the arm would push him into the abyss.

"It seems that you still can't fully trust me now," Sima Xukong's voice was very frustrated, but soon he raised a smiling face and said, "But it's okay, since we got married, our relationship has improved. A lot, I believe you will be moved by me in a short time, and we will definitely become the happiest couple in the world!"

Looking sideways at Sima Xukong who was full of smiles, Changsun Jingrong only felt that his heart was sour, for Sima Xukong.She didn't think she had anything worthy of Sima Xukong. This man could have found a more worry-free wife to keep at home, so why did he cause such trouble for himself?How much he can't think about it!
Shaking his head, Changsun Jingrong ordered himself to calm down, and said calmly: "It won't be long before Grand Master Fang will fall, if you want to take advantage of this east wind, hurry up and don't let others get ahead of you. And that Prince, I hope you can continue to help me investigate and see if there is anything else hidden about the little prince."

"Okay, the matter of Jingrong is my business, and I will definitely handle it for you safely." Sima Xukong smiled and rubbed the top of his eldest grandson Jingrong's hair, and said, "I'm a little hungry, can I let you Bihe, make me something to eat? Just a bowl of wonton noodles. You don’t even know that the people in the hotel department have to eat and drink these days, and I feel like my stomach is going to burst!”

While arranging Bi He to prepare, Changsun Jingrong said sarcastically: "Since you feel uncomfortable, then don't drink it. You are a prince, so why dare someone force you?"

"Hey, the current military department is not the previous military department. Since General Xue came back, many people in the military department have been fawning on him and don't pay attention to me, the prince. Life is not so easy now!"

"With your petty temper, are you going to spare those guys lightly? Tell me, how do you plan to deal with them?"

"Hey, it's still Jingrong who understands me. Those bastards who are acting according to the wind dare to be so right, I will definitely..."

It was getting dark gradually, and the two people in the house were coming and going, talking like flirting, gradually making the snow on the branches unbearable, falling down like shy clouds, Stained with pink clouds.

After a long conversation that night, Sima Xukong decided to find a suitable candidate to replace Fang Taishi on the one hand, and on the other hand pretend to submit to General Xue and obey his arrangements.It's just that I don't know how Sima Xukong negotiated the terms with General Xue. The Ninth Prince's Mansion has been quite quiet recently, and no one came to make troubles. This gave Changsun Jingrong a moment of peace.

But the Empress Dowager couldn't sit still, seeing Sima Xukong and the Xue family fighting fiercely, she quickly summoned her eldest grandson Jingrong into the palace, wanting to ask for clarification.

The eldest grandson Jingrong had already prepared his speech with Sima Xukong, and when he saw the empress dowager, he looked like he was about to cry, and said, "The empress dowager must decide for Jingrong!"

The full-bodied words were preempted by the eldest grandson Jingrong, and it was such a miserable opening speech, which made the empress dowager stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Rubbing his eyes with a veil, the eldest grandson Jingrong choked up and said: "Those people from the Xue family are really arrogant. In order to let Xue Lingruo marry into the palace, they went to the palace to threaten Jingrong, saying that if they dare to pester the prince, they will hinder Xue Lingruo from doing justice. Concubine, I want Jingrong’s life! Conscience of heaven and earth, how can I have such a big role to influence the choice of the prince? If the prince really likes Xue Lingruo, how can he change his mind because of my words? Jingrong is a weak woman, that's why she bullies her like this, Jingrong's life is really hard!"
