Chapter 727 Keep Nanhuai King

It was already late at night, and Zi'an had woken up again. Murong Jie let everyone go back to rest first.

Zhuang Zhuang looked at Xiao Xiao and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's great that you're back."

Xiao Xiao cupped his hands, "Xie Wangfei misses you."

"I don't miss you, there is someone else who misses you." Zi'an said with a smile.

Xiao Xiao's brows were tinged with tenderness, and he stared at Zhuang Zhuang.

Zhuang Zhuang said softly: "Let's go."

"Okay!" Xiao Xiao said, his voice was like a cloud, indescribably gentle and comfortable.

Zi'an looked at the two people's affectionate eyes and their backs leaving, he really felt that they were immortals, and he couldn't help being envious in his heart.

After everyone left, Murong Jie hugged Zian, buried his face in her hair, his arms were as strong as iron, and Zian was almost breathless.

Zian knew that he was terrified and fell into a coma for three days. He didn't know what the disease was. It was really scary.

She patted his back lightly and comforted him softly, "I'm fine."

Murong Jie let her go, and said solemnly: "I repeat again, no matter what happens to you or what is on your mind, you must tell me, and you can't hide anything."

"I see."

Zi'an looked at his sunken eye sockets, fearing that he was exhausted these few days, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

She took his hand and promised: "I swear, no matter what happens to me in the future, even if I have a bad appetite, I will tell you."

"Zian, nothing is more important than you." Murong Jie stretched out his hand to caress her thin face. After three days of drinking only rice soup, she lost a lot of weight. He felt very distressed when he saw it.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me, and I won't in the future." Zi'an's heart was tumbling, thinking of the suspicion she had before, it was really meaningless!

She raised her head suddenly, "Xiao Xiao is back, when will the celebration banquet be held?"

"It's already held tonight, don't worry," Murong Jie whispered in her ear, "Linlin is safe now, Lao Jiu sent him to Hanshan."

"Really?" Zi'an said excitedly.

"Well, sending him to Hanshan is just a stopgap measure. Next, I will arrange for him to leave here."

Zi'an nodded and said, "I have to send him away, he can't stay in Beijing, but where can he go?"

"I already have a plan. Uncle Huang will go back in a few days. I thought, let Uncle Huang take him away and take care of him temporarily."

"The King of Eastern Guangdong?"

"Yes."

Zian felt relieved, the King of Yuedong was someone he could trust, and if he was willing to help, Linlin would be taken care of.

In the end, the emperor never expected that the King of Eastern Guangdong would take him away.

Zi'an was finally happy when his biggest worry was over.

However, Murong Jie did not relax, because the reason why Zian has been sleeping has not been found yet.

He sent many people to investigate overnight, to find out who had been in contact with Zian during these days.

Intuitively, he felt that Zian was poisoned, but he didn't know what kind of poison it was, not even Zian himself.

After Ye Wang sent Xia Lin to Cold Mountain, he took care of the toothless fat man, and then came back.

He returned to the palace and said that the old prince and the empress dowager did not allow him to be in the mountains, and said that if Xia Lin recovered, he would send a letter to receive him.

The emperor was a little surprised when he heard that the empress dowager was still in Hanshan, but he didn't say anything.

The emperor had already calmed down. He sent the third prince over and asked a lot of questions. The third prince had been prepared for a long time, and the conversation did not reveal any flaws. Moreover, the third prince did go to Xiwei Palace to play with Xia Lin before. When Lin was ill, he went to visit him, but he couldn't find fault.

He also looked for Sun Fang'er with a gloomy face.

Sun Fang'er is a person who is good at lying, but Xia Lin's absence from Xiwei Palace does her no good. Without someone's blood, she can only use her blood to nourish gu. Such a selfish person, would he be willing to sacrifice himself to help others? Or help a fool.

Therefore, the emperor's doubts about Sun Fang'er were quickly dispelled.

After Xiao Xiao came back, the marriage with Zhuang Zhuang was about to be put on the agenda.

Because the empress dowager passed away for less than a year, although Zhuang Zhuang was only a sister-in-law, out of filial piety, Zhuang Zhuang felt that we should discuss marriage after the new year.

This move fits the emperor's heart, he does have some scruples about the Xiao family, especially, Lord Xiao Hou is also a person who has returned from meritorious service, and they have had close contacts with Murong Jie, so there is no guarantee that they will not form a party for personal gain.

Zhuang Zhuang is not in a hurry now, she doesn't want the Xiao family to be charged with unnecessary crimes because of her.

Murong Jie wrote a letter asking the emperor to allow King Nanhuai to return to his fiefdom.

But the emperor was already wary of King Nanhuai, he would not let him go easily, but he did not reject Murong Jie directly, he only said that he would find a marriage for King Nanhuai, and he would leave Beijing and return to the Southern Kingdom when he got married.

The emperor robbed someone's daughter-in-law, and now he compensates one, which makes sense.

However, these are all excuses, and everyone knows it.

But the emperor got busy with this matter, and ordered the daughters of officials above the fifth rank to enter the palace for draft.

This time the draft is to choose a concubine for Nanhuai Wang.

Moreover, the mansion where the former King Qin lived was given to King Nanhuai, and the Ministry of Works has already begun to decorate it.

The Southern Kingdom is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Guangdong King because it is close to the eastern part of Guangdong.

This is equivalent to taking back the entrustment of King Nanhuai. People in the southern country still recognize King Nanhuai as the local emperor. However, after a few years of King Yuedong’s rule, people’s hearts will turn to King Yuedong. The emperor’s wishful thinking is very loud. .

He did not formally take back the Southern Kingdom, but only allocated it to the King of Eastern Guangdong temporarily...temporary jurisdiction. The King of Nanhuai stayed in Beijing because of his great talent. Therefore, no one complained about the injustice of King Nanhuai. On the contrary, he felt that he was about to rise to the top.

Master Cui was promoted to prime minister and entered the cabinet.

Master Cui trusted Murong Jie very much, but he didn't fully submit to Murong Jie, nor could he even say that he submitted to Murong Jie. He was a loyal official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so the emperor first enlisted him.

This is to weaken Murong Jie's power step by step. Moreover, a regent does not have any other official positions. The emperor is now in good health, and the emperor is in charge. The position of regent seems useless.

It seems that he can control everything, but in fact, his power has been officially handed over to the emperor, and he is equivalent to an idler.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see this clearly.

However, Murong Jie will not lose power so quickly.

Because, his contacts and credits cannot be wiped out in a short time.

King Nanhuai came to visit once, looked at Murong Jie resentfully, said a few words that were not salty, and then took Shangqiu away.

The purpose of his coming is to tell Murong Jie that you owe me a favor. I saved your princess, but you didn't do anything for me.

Murong Jie just pretended to be stupid and asked him to hand over the person who administered the drug.

You said I owed you a favor, but you didn't help me get things done.

Before King Nanhuai left, he quietly said to Murong Jie: "Brother Seven is more tactful now."

Murong Jie also said quietly to him: "Well, I learned from you, and then I have to learn how to bend and stretch from you."

King Nanhuai straightened his neck, as if reluctantly swallowing his words.
