Chapter 74 Jinyutai 22(1/2)
Murong Yexuan heard that Murong Qiankun had no idea of having a peace with the Yao clan, and was "breaking" a city again, and wrote a letter to send it to the palace for support.
When Murong Qiankun saw it, he summoned his confidant to discuss it. His condition became worse that night, and the imperial physician also went several times.
When it was dawn, he condemned everyone and summoned Murong Li in. He changed his clothes and sat majestic on the couch. His actions not only gave up on the Yao clan, but also wanted to pay his daughter, making it difficult for him to swallow his anger.
"Father, are you looking for me?" Murong Li entered the house and saw many ministers leaving at the door, and was a little confused.
Murong Qiankun pointed to the seat and said in a harmonious voice: "Sit down first, Eunuch An, and serve tea for the princess."
Murong Li sat down in confusion, holding the teacup, and her uneasiness became even more intense. "Is Father's health better today?"
Murong Qiankun nodded, chatted with Murong Li for a few casual words, and asked her how she was used to living in the palace, and what she needed to arrange now in winter. She looked careless and waited for the end: "I have already made a conclusion about choosing a husband a few days ago."
Murong Li's heart skipped a beat, she widened her eyes and looked at Murong Qiankun, and quickly said, "Didn't the father say... Isn't it in a hurry to do this?"
"I have changed my mind." Murong Qiankun's voice became much deeper and he gave An Zhongdao a wink.
An Zhongdao understood and picked up the imperial edict on the table and walked to Murong Li. Murong Li pursed her lips and knelt down in panic. Hearing his order, he heard the sentence "Master Shengkang and marry the eldest prince of the Yao clan", he suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief.
It was as if a thunder exploded above her head, and for a moment she could not hear any sound in her ears, and even her breathing was stagnant. Only the words "Marry the Great Prince of Yao" echoed in her mind.
She listened to An Zhongdao's words blankly, but she did not accept the order. She looked at Murong Qiankun with a dim expression, "Father, I won't marry!"
"You have no reason to do this." Murong Qiankun did not look directly at Murong Li and coughed a few times: "Cough cough cough... I am tired, you go down first."
"I don't seek wealth and prosperity, I just want to be ordinary for the rest of my life. You promised me that I wouldn't force me to do anything!" Murong Li's long eyelashes trembled, and tears fell from her eyes, "Father, you are the king of a country, how can you go back on your word!"
Someone came to pull Murong Li.
"You are a princess, so what if you make some sacrifices for the country? Even if you marry the Yao clan, you won't suffer any grievances." Murong Qiankun slapped the table and stood up, "Since you are born in the royal family, you should understand what your mission is."
Murong Li was suppressed by the servant, her hair scattered on her cheeks, and the incense in the cauldron rose and spread out in the room. The rich fragrance actually made her disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
"I would rather not be a princess!"
Murong Qiankun was angry and smiled, and ordered: "Take her back to Huayi Palace, watch and learn the rules carefully, don't come out, let alone meet with any outsiders!"
Murong Ji had already guessed this when Emperor Xuan’s confidant entered the palace. After the truth was made, he asked someone to prepare a carriage and go to Qingshan Villa.
Chen Rong was plotting against Murong Yexuan and had a disagreement with the system. He had been busy in the past few days and had not heard about the storm in the palace. He was still stunned when he knew that the prince came to the door.
Murong Ji sat in the hall and waited for Chen Rong to come and said straight to the point: "Does the national master know about the Yao clan disturbing my border this time?"
Chen Rong nodded: "Although I was confined, I still heard of it a little."
Murong Ji knew that she had not yet known the secret matters in the palace. He put down the teacup in his hand, "The peace talks have been settled now. Although the other party did not ask much, we have already admitted defeat after agreeing to the peace talks."
Chen Rong just listened, not knowing what he was doing.
Murong Ji observed Chen Rong's expression and sighed: "It's just a pity for my younger sister. I'm just so old to marry the Yao clan. The Yao clan's life is cunning and bad. I'm afraid it's not easy for me to go there..."
Chen Rong suddenly raised his head and looked at Murong Ji in shock, "What the Prince of the Crown Prince said is, marriage?"
Murong Ji nodded: "This is what I came to you this time. You are Li'er's Grand Tutor. Can you persuade your father to take it back for a moment and take it back?"
Chen Rong pursed her lips, felt confused, and her hands slowly clenched. She thought that Murong Li's marriage was going on after Murong Yexuan seized the throne, so she tried every means to stop him from taking the throne, but this time she actually went ahead.
——The only variable is Yu Yao.
Chen Rong's eyes were cold. When she knew that Yu Yao was reborn, she shouldn't have saved her life!
"Thank you for your advice." Chen Rong lowered his eyes to cover his emotions, bowed, and pretended to be helpless, "What should I do? Please let the prince make clear."
Murong Ji smiled. He was not very sure of it. Now it seems that it is true. It is much easier for a person with weakness to control it.
"Of course I can't sit idly by and watch this matter." Murong Ji paused and said, "The Yao clan has never asked for a marriage marriage. As far as I know, this is what my third brother means. It depends on the third brother. He and the Yao clan are now unclear, and there is no place for marching in him."
Chen Rong took a breath. Murong Ji was hinting that she was trying to point the finger at Murong Yexuan? I was afraid she could no longer watch the fire from the other side of the river.
She suppressed the emotions that were surging in her heart and had not spoken for a long time. After a long time, she smiled bitterly, "I am now suspicious of His Majesty and have no power to fight with the third prince."
"Only... can only accept your fate."
Murong Ji frowned, but unexpectedly, Chen Rong was really a soft persimmon, so he shook his head and shook his sleeves and left.
Chen Rong returned to the room in a daze and ordered someone to inquire about the news in the palace. The maids did not dare to disturb him, so they lit the light and left. The people sent them to inquire all night, but there was no news in the palace.
Chen Rong sat at the table, facing a lonely lamp for a long night, his face as frosty as ever.
The housekeeper came to persuade: "Sir, you didn't get into the drip of water yesterday. Have you eaten something early in the morning and have some rest?"
Chen Rong closed his painful eyes and pursed his lips: "Is there any news?"
The butler sighed: "The princess is imprisoned, and the news of Yihua Palace is blocked, and there is no way to find out."
Chen Rong slapped his hands on the table, frowned tightly, and then said in a hoarse voice: "You go down first."
After the housekeeper went down, Chen Rong summoned his secret troops and told them to inquire about the border and make sure to understand the whole thing.
She calmly fell down, took out the paper she had written her plan, and started to make changes.
Seeing that she was serious and efficient, the system didn't care about some of the plans that were originally ruthless, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "The bad guys are indeed forced out."
Chen Rong snorted: "Lend me any door you want."
The system muttered, then said, "Okay, go and see how your little princess is in now, but it's useless to see it. At most, it's going to cause trouble for yourself."
"You have to endure it, and a good plan cannot fail."
Chen Rong nodded, and she naturally understood these principles. If she lost, she would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be
After Murong Li was imprisoned, she used a hunger strike to resist. She didn't eat for a day and night, and her little face became much haggard.
"Princess, you have to take care of your body at least." Madam Jinxiu felt distressed when she saw it, "I don't want to drink medicine, so I have to eat some food."
Murong Li shook her head with tears in her eyes and sobbed, "Don't worry about me, I will not get married anyway, I would rather starve to death than to be!"
"Can……"
"Shut up, I don't want to listen, you all go out!"
Madam Jinxiu quietly retreated and sent someone to tell Murong Qiankun.
Murong Qiankun is very good to Murong Li on weekdays, but he is extremely firm in this matter. After all, it involves state affairs, so family affairs are not that important.
It's been till the sunset.
Murong Li covered her stomach and shrank on the bed. The sky gradually became darker, and the candlelight swayed a faint light.
She ate a lot on weekdays. Although she was hungry when she was a child, she hadn't tried not to eat for a long time, let alone a hunger strike.
She sighed and knocked her little face to her chin, looking pitiful.
"QuQuQu"
The window was knocked, and then it was pushed away with a "squeak". The wind blew in and made her shudder and looked over with vigilance.
"Who is it!"
"Shh." Chen Rong folded in from behind the curtain and made a gesture of silence at her, "It's me."
Murong Li blinked her red eyes, puffed her mouth, and she endured her again and again, but she threw herself off the bed and hugged Chen Rong, crying softly: "Father asked me to kiss you."
"I already know." Chen Rong raised his hand and stroked her back. With a slight pain in his heart, he pushed Murong Li away and took out a paper bag from his arms and opened it. "I knew you must have just been crying and brought you some food."
The fragrance spread, and the tender roasted chicken made Murong Li couldn't help swallowing. Hunger made her reach out, but reason made her shake her head, "No, no, I'm on a hunger strike, how can I eat..."
Chen Rong pulled her to the table, asked her to sit down, and put down the food, "Don't show off, you'll probably starve to death and you won't wait for your father to change your mind." She saw Murong Li barefoot and went to get her shoes and squat down.
Murong Li quickly said, "I'll do it myself."
But Chen Rong had already picked up her feet and put her shoes in. Murong Li's face turned red, "I, I'm not a child anymore, I can wear shoes by myself."
Chen Rong raised his head and glared at her, and said angrily: "If you are really mature, you will not do something that a fool like a hunger strike would do."
Murong Li felt guilty and said aggrievedly: "I have nothing to do, I don't want to marry someone else." After Chen Rong stood up, he grabbed her hand.
Chen Rong sat down next to her helplessly and patted the back of her hand: "I will find a way."
Murong Li nodded solemnly, wiped her tears, and pulled out a pale smile, "I believe in you."
Chen Rong looked at Murong Li's face and sighed in his heart: "Eat while it's hot, don't do stupid things again in the future."
Murong Li nodded: "Yes."
Chen Rong looked at her silently. If you fight for a while, it would be like an egg hitting a stone, you can only take a risk once. "No matter what I do in the future, you must believe that I am on your side."
Murong Li said vaguely: "Of course I know, you said that you will not leave me behind no matter what."
Chen Rong's sorrow was dispersed a little, and he poured her a cup of tea: "Don't choke if you eat so urgently."
Murong Li quickly took the tea and coughed when she was choked. Chen Rong quickly patted her on the back and blamed her: "Let you not be anxious."
Murong Li looked at Chen Rong with grievance, "I've been hungry for a day, it's all the blame for the Yao clan, which makes me worried and afraid." She sighed: "A person like me must not be cheaper than outsiders, but only the Grand Master."
Chen Rongyile saw her face coming over, raised her hand to press her forehead, "Wipe it clean and come over."
Murong Li went to wash her face with a humming moan, walked over and saw Chen Rong still sitting on the chair, so she faced her, put her hands on her shoulders, lowered her head to kiss Chen Rong.
Chen Rong smiled and looked up and asked Murong Li to kiss her, then looked up at her, "When will you know what reserve is?"
Murong Li smiled and said, "The Grand Master is so beautiful, I can't help it."
Chen Rong has seen many sweet-mouthed people, among which Murong Li is the sweetest.
