Chapter 72 Jinyutai 20(1/2)
Everyone didn't know what happened between Chen Rong and Murong Li, but they only knew that Chen Rong had offended the little princess, and was severely scolded by the emperor, and he decided to make a decision.
Murong Yexuan was fighting wits and courage with Yu Yao in the mansion. He didn't care much when he heard the news. "Chen Rong was just a pawn of his father. If he didn't make a difference, it would be a matter of time before he could be abandoned."
Yu Yao didn't think: "She is not simple."
Murong Yexuan didn't want to pay attention to Yu Yao at all, so he drank a cup of tea: "Do you think you are simple? Why do you know so many things? If I remember well, you were very close to Chen Rong before. Why? Do you want to help her seduce me?"
Murong Yexuan was very decisive and disliked Yu Yao. Now the other party is just a woman his father doesn't want, and he doesn't even look down on him when he comes to him.
"You are struggling in the court now, I just want to help you."
"Do you give me advice or do you want to take a long-term plan to harm me?"
Yu Yao's face changed slightly, "One day you will know that I am standing by your side from beginning to end."
Murong Yexuan sneered, disagreed.
Yu Yao pursed her lips and slowly clenched her hands. The palms of her fingertips hurt. She looked at the faces of those little bitches here, and was suspected and ridiculed by Murong Yexuan. She was already used to his character in her previous life.
But she was sure that even if she did it again, they would be watching the great land side by side in the end.
But the prince was not as calm as Murong Yexuan. It was not because of Chen Rong, but because the ninth prince came to ask him for help.
Murong Ji is used to being a good person and wins over the hearts of the people, but he also leaves a lot of disasters for himself.
The fact that the ninth prince murdered the prince has now been exposed by the court officials, and he is just waiting for the emperor to silence him. In order to calm his anger, even if he does not die, he will have to be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
"Are you really indifferent?" The Crown Princess heard that the Crown Prince did not see the Ninth Prince, and couldn't help but persuade him, "If the military power in the hands of the Ninth Prince falls into the hands of others, it will definitely not be a good thing for us."
Murong Ji sat in the pavilion playing chess, twisting a white chess in his hand, but it didn't fall down for a long time, and breathed deeply: "My third brother has done so many things recently and has picked himself clean. What exactly does he want to do?"
The Crown Princess looked frustrated and sneered: "Isn't Murong Yexuan's thoughts known to everyone? In order to seize this country, he has been lying on firewood and tasting gall for too long."
The chess piece in Murong Ji's hand finally fell: "Now he has started cutting our wings, we have to take action." He lowered his eyes: "I'm just curious. He has been dormant for so long, what's the point of relying on now?"
"It's really strange." The Crown Princess thought for a while and replied: "My father set him up in the court these days, just like the Mengluo flood, which was his dereliction of duty. He seemed to know in advance that my father would attack. He calmly pushed the blame, but instead took all the credit and was commended by his father."
"Know in advance?" Murong Ji frowned.
The Crown Princess looked puzzled: "My spy reported that there was an extra woman in his mansion, and she was a nobleman who was sent to the cold palace a few days ago. Moreover, this woman's temperament changed drastically, and I always feel something was wrong..."
Murong Ji nodded, thinking.
Chen Rong was summoned by the emperor, and others thought he was to punish him. In fact, he was not as thrilling as everyone thought. He just said some strange words. The meaning of going around was to do more serious things and not be addicted to the sensuality.
Chen Rong felt that the emperor was really a tangled person. On the one hand, he didn't want her to gain power and escape from control, but on the other hand, he wanted to increase his bargaining chips to balance the current dispute between the two factions.
"What does the emperor mean?" Chen Rong walked on the way to Yihua Palace and talked to the system.
"It means you are asked to be his puppet." The system said without thinking: "You can't stand on the prince, nor Murong Yexuan, you can only stand on the emperor's side."
Chen Rong nodded, feeling tired.
She went to the gate of Yihua Palace, packed up her emotions, asked the attendant to take the prepared gifts, coughed and walked in, but was stopped at Murong Li's door.
"The princess is resting at this moment, no one can see her." The maid stopped Chen Rong apologetically.
"I'm here to apologize." Chen Rong knew that Murong Li could hear her talking, although she didn't know why she was guilty.
The room was quiet.
"Since that's the case, please help me pass the things to the princess." Chen Rong handed over the box and turned around to leave, but the door suddenly opened.
Murong Li looked at Chen Rong and gritted her teeth and said, "Come in."
Chen Rong felt relieved and followed into the room. Looking at the piles of portraits on her desk. Madam Jinxiu was holding many unopened scrolls in her hand. When she approached, she found that they were all portraits of men.
"Is this?" Chen Rong asked tentatively.
"The father asked me to choose a husband who was satisfied with me." Murong Li sat down again and absent-mindedly chose.
Chen Rong was suffocated and looked away for a moment and didn't know what to say. She decided that she would not have any inappropriate thoughts about Murong Li, nor did she go beyond the rules, but now she is a little depressed.
Murong Li didn't want to see any portraits. When Chen Rong came, she didn't say a word like a dull man. She slapped the table and said angrily: "Take all these portraits for me!"
"Princess..." Madam Jinxiu was confused.
Murong Li said softly: "I don't like any of them."
There were only two people left in the room.
"I just went to deal with things yesterday, not as you thought." Chen Rong organized some language, and it was really hard to say something clearly, "Now I have a lot of eyeliners around me, so I can only use this method to cover up the people I follow."
Murong Li listened and didn't speak.
"If you came earlier, you would find that I was not in the room at all." Chen Rong said again.
Murong Li glanced at her: "What if others knew that you were not in the room?"
Chen Rong smiled bitterly: "It's just to make more suspicious."
Murong Li held the hem of her skirt tightly. She was not an unreasonable person. She naturally knew Chen Rong's situation. She stood up and walked to Chen Rong, hugged her waist, and said softly: "Why didn't you explain earlier?"
Chen Rong said helplessly: "You ran too fast, I didn't have time to say it."
Murong Li laughed, and after thinking about it, it seemed that she was really not listening. She hammered Chen Rong in shame, "It's your fault anyway, it's your fault, it's mysterious, which makes me suspicious."
Chen Rong, who was given the title of "Evil Ghost in Sex" for no reason, had to admit it at this time, but Murong Li still understood her now, which was fine.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, Murong Li felt embarrassed.
"Chen Rong, I..." Murong Li looked up at Chen Rong, determined to express her attitude, "I feel very uncomfortable when I see you being with other women. I like you, I want to be with you."
"What about you? Do you like me?"
Murong Li's eyes were filled with expectation and a hint of fear. She was afraid that what Chen Rong said was that she didn't like it.
Chen Rong looked at Murong Li deeply. The situation is not yet determined. If she is with Murong Li, it will probably be a burden to the other party.
If she won in this power battle, she would naturally be fearless, but if she lost, she would be somewhat sure to protect Murong Li, and she—it would be unable to escape without being able to escape.
"I'm sorry, I can't be with you." Chen Rong's voice was quiet and he felt a little guilty and annoyed. He raised his eyes and looked straight into Murong Li's eyes, "If I'm still alive in a year, I will promise you."
If she doesn't fight for a moment, she can only be the emperor's puppet. When the emperor dies, she will become cannon fodder and be destroyed in the struggle for power.
Murong Li's eyes flashed twice, and she forced a smile: "What does it mean?"
"This is a secret." Chen Rong patted Murong Li's head.
But Murong Li shook Chen Rong's hand away and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Why do you think I will wait for you? I'm just perfunctory to me for a year, right?"
Chen Rong met her injured eyes, took her waist directly, and kissed her fiercely when she raised her head. With a depressed and sloping kiss, she seemed to be about to swallow Murong Li.
“Woo…”
Murong Li subconsciously opened her mouth, and Chen Rong's tongue slid into her mouth, stirring her love and desire unscrupulously.
After a while, Murong Li blushed and pushed Chen Rong away, wiped her moist red lips, and said angrily: "What do you mean? Are you acting like a hooligan?"
Chen Rong curled his lips and smiled, "Yes, he's just a hooligan. Didn't you say I'm an evil ghost in sex? Of course I can't let your expectations down."
Murong Li snorted and opened her eyes, leaving her anger in her heart. Even if Chen Rong was fooling herself, she would not be able to take back her heart.
Just let it go, it can’t be long every year.
And there are indeed many things to face, as long as Chen Rong promises her, it will be enough.
"I'll wait for you." Murong Li spoke and looked at Chen Rong seriously: "Whether you are sincere or false, I'll bet on you this year."
Chen Rong's eyes were a little gentler, and a warm feeling rose in his heart. He raised his hand and stroked Murong Li's cheek, "You are still young, I will marry you in a glorious way in a year. If you find that you don't like me during this period, I will congratulate you."
Of course, the premise is that she still has life.
Murong Li gave her a blank look and snorted: "I should give these words to you. If you have a tryst with other women on your back, I will sell her to the Western Regions and torture you well."
This is a complete threat.
Chen Rong coughed: "Natural, natural..."
Murong Li finally became happy and hugged Chen Rong's arm, "The father said he asked me to choose a husband, aren't you jealous? Are you not afraid that I really like some young talent?"
Chen Rong hugged her and thoughtfully: "There is nothing to do. Who made me poor and not be able to please you?"
Murong Li wrinkled her nose and gave her a coquettish look. She was obviously the one who was the best at coaxing people, but she pretended to be a gentleman.
Madam Jinxiu knocked on the door: "Princess, the princess's mansion has sent another invitation."
Murong Li was about to refuse, but Chen Rong spoke first, "Come in."
Madam Jinxiu came in with her head down. Seeing the two people holding each other's faces were a little uncomfortable, she quickly put down the invitation and hurriedly closed the door, pretending that she had seen nothing.
Murong Li picked up the invitation and patted it in her hand, "The last time I was a post by the Crown Princess, and this time it was a post by the Crown Prince's Mansion. It seems that the other party really wants me to go."
Murong Li was a little surprised. She didn't go out of the gate and didn't have any friendship with the prince's mansion at all. Why did the other party invite him so many times?
Chen Rong frowned. The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince were both kind-hearted on the surface but actually cunning and very patient. Then he said, "You can go and have a look."
Murong Li nodded: "Okay, maybe you can see a handsome man."
Chen Rong snorted and wiped out her thoughts: "This banquet is a women's banquet. Where did the man come from? You are really thinking too much."
Murong Li poked Chen Rong's waist and stared at her: "It's obviously not written on this female family banquet. If you read it wrong, would you be embarrassed to say to me?"
Chen Rong looked carefully, and cummed, feeling a little confused. It seemed that the prince's mansion had changed. I wonder what the prince's idea was?
