After Yuan Liuguang had left, Rong Shuihe looked at the sky and then said to Yishan, who was serving the tea on his side, "The city gate is close now. We cannot go out. So, we just stay here tonight and go to the park early tomorrow morning."
Yishan responded and gave the order to the people outside. Then, she came back and smiled with a bow, "Chief, congratulations! You get a helpful assistant!"
"It's too early to say that." Rong Shuihe also smiled and said, "Previously, the Gaomi King Family sent someone to the Nanfeng County to check my background, so they came to know my connection with the Daimao Island. Later, they might consider that Princess Gaomi had been confined to bed for too many years and could not bear such news. Besides, the Meng Family attacked the Gaomi King Family by racking up their past. Therefore, they just omitted this part, only saying that I was kept in the remote manor by the Sheng Family."
"Thus, Princess Gaomi
Rong Shuihe was seriously assigning tasks to his subordinates, while in Gaomi King Mansion, Princess Gaomi was freaking out, "B*st*rd! B*st*rd! B*st*rd! You b*st*rd!"Xiangji Hall was in an extreme mess, with all the decorative pieces, in gold, in jade, in ivory, and in crystal being knocked onto the ground.All the servants had backed away except Nanny Zhao.The Rong Qingzhuo couple consoled her sobbingly on their knees, "Mother, take care of your health!""Your hiding these things from me won't do any good to my health to begin with!" With a tear-stained face, Princess Gaomi flung out a gold plate inlaid with turtle shell and shrieked, "You want me to die as soon as possible, don't you?!!"The plate passed over the Rong Qingzhuo couple's heads and thudded on Gaomi King's body.Gaomi King managed to keep his balance after some wobbles. He let out a sigh and uttered feebly, "Mixue, I concealed our s
The Grand Princess Wuyang was exactly the one who had suggested that Li Shengxu escorted Sheng Weiqiao to the south.She didn't bring it up on a whim for sure. After escaping from Sheng Weiqiao’s beat, Li Shengxu bumped into his mother's man, who had been sent to look for him. Then he was unavoidably asked about the cause of his unusual disheveled look.Li Shengxu chased him away lest the truth behind would worry his mother, but his words didn't have much authority despite his title of Marquis, given that he had been in recuperation in the past years.As a result, the servant reported what he had seen immediately to the Grand Princess Wuyang despite his menace.The Grand Princess Wuyang was worried indeed. Empress Dowager, who had been in her company at that time, said after learning the news, "We shall summon him here and get to the bottom of this... I hope that he wasn't bullied by someone..."Li Shengxu could
Rong Shuihe wasn't surprised that Huan Yehe came to him late in the night, but he was discontented when noticing Sheng Weiqiao being in her company. He said disapprovingly to Huan Yehe, "Must you drag sweetie into this? It's late already. You could have come alone."Huan Yehe responded wearing a dismal face, "I wouldn't have disturbed Princess Kangzhao if I had learned your whereabouts!"Sheng Weiqiao had to conciliate between the two provocative people, "Left General Weiwei's execution appears to be the imperative here. Let's get straight to the point!""I don't know anyone from Left Weiwei Troop or Right Weiwei Troop. Their lives have nothing to do with me." Rong Shuihe said nonchalantly and then turned to address Yishan, "Tell the cooks to prepare some refreshments that sweetie favors. I suppose she's still hungry despite having had dinner back in Shanglin Palace. The whole day was eventful."Huan Yehe fumed, "Left Genera
Rong Shuihe heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "I won't tell the truth if the question is asked by someone else. But you're different, sweetie. I can't gain many connections in Chang'an in a short time. As a result, Jing Shu Princess is the source of most of my information. I didn't know about his association with the Family for sure!""So, you were intended to scheme against an innocent person at the beginning?" Sheng Weiqiao furrowed her brows and weighed her words, "I'm grateful that you revenged me on Noble Consort Shu, but everyone's life is precious...""Sweetie, do you think I meant to kill Left General Weiwei?" Rong Shuihe was aware that a pampered girl like Sheng Weiqiao couldn't bring herself to slight people's lives as he did despite her being tolerant of a measure of dark deeds and being flexible about the adhesion to morality.He explained immediately, "I will manage to save him even if Jing Shu Princess didn't pay me a vis
"Chongxin Count?" Asked Consort Shu. Hearing the words, Consort Shu raised her feather-like eyebrows and then immediately brought her fit of anger under control. She closed her slanted eyes and thought for a while. Then, she smiled and said, "Prince Mizhen is an interesting person! No wonder he has coaxed Sister into liking him very much with only a few words!"When the accident happened in the Lingbo Palace, Consort Shu was in the Wanyue Palace, worrying about Noble Consort Shu who was in a coma. However, she was well-informed since she had been an Emperor's beloved concubine for more than twenty years.Therefore, she did know how resentful and helpless Meng Guiyu felt about what had happened in the Lingbo Palace. His sister Meng Guihuan was trapped into being a concubine of Guangling King shortly after she and that young and handsome Number Three Scholar had had a crush on each other.It was no secret that how Meng Guiyu cherished his
The Meng Family was persuaded by State Duke Zheng into supporting Meng Guiyu. Coupled with Emperor Xuanjing's imperial order, the people on Gaomi King's side could not hold their ground. Therefore, after a two-day discussion, Meng Guiyu finally got the position of Left General Weiwei.However, seeing that it was impossible to prevent Meng Guiyu from becoming Left General Weiwei, Gaomi King's people started to spread rumors that Empress Meng was only jogged by Noble Consort Shu's maid and should not have fallen off porthole, but she jumped off it deliberately in order to bring shame on Noble Consort Shu. Otherwise, as they both fell from a height, how could Noble Consort Shu fall on the deck and get badly injured while Empress Meng was that lucky to fall into the water rather than on the rail?Therefore, they said that the accident of Noble Consort Shu was a plot of the Meng Family which aimed at framing the innocent Left General Weiwei and letting Me
After finishing talking with Meng Guiyu, Rong Shuihe went back to Gaomi King Mansion in the moonlight.Today, Rong Shuihe was accompanied by Gongsun Yingdun. On the way back home, Gongsun Yingdun could not restrain himself from being anxious and thus asked in a low voice, "Uncle Rong, Chongxin Count actually knows nothing about the navy. But you have tried by every possible means to persuade him into taking the position of Left General Weiwei. Have you done it for the sake of...?"Well, he just hesitated and did not dare to make the last sentence complete. But Rong Shuihe had already seen what he meant and thus said calmly, "Indeed, what I have done is for your father and his companions. Chongxin Count may help them get into Shanglin Palace and save them some positions."Gongsun Yingdun said in confusion, "Uncle Rong, why do my father and his companions still need Chongxin Count's help? My father has been the owner of the sea around Daim
Sheng Weiqiao thought about that for several days and still didn't have a chance to tell Rong Shuihe about her travel.She expected that Rong Shuihe could take the initiative to contact her. However, Rong Shuihe was totally busy organizing the navy. Moreover, Princess Gaomi was so sorrowful that she was even out of condition when she knew his sufferings on Daimao Island.Gaomi King and Rong Qingzhuo couple worried about her. But their comforts didn't work. So they had to ask Rong Shuihe frequently to visit Princess Gaomi.Rong Shuihe didn't care about that at all. But Princess Gaomi often took the initiative to visit him due to her regrets. As compensation, she spared no efforts to show her concerns. Therefore, Rong Shuihe had no time to see Sheng Weiqiao.Sheng Weiqiao didn't see Rong Shuihe even before the eve of departure. So she went to the Palace to say goodbye to Empress Meng with frustration.The Empress
