Chapter 340 Rong Xia Has Arrived in the Capital (4)
"Master Yao, you don't need to be polite, please sit down." Rong Xia never asked Yao Peiji's reason for coming, and after the two had been arguing for a long time, Yao Peiji still couldn't hold on and explained his reason for coming.
"Prince title?" Rong Xia raised her eyebrows, with a half-smile on her face, "I don't know what title it is?"
"Zhongming."
"A piece of loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon?" Rong Xia took a sip of the tea that Ban Hua had just drank, and shook her head slowly, "This title is not good."
"What kind of title does the Marquis like, the court will definitely satisfy you."
"The title is not important, I just want to see Your Majesty and the Crown Prince." Rong Xia put down the teacup, "If I don't see Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."
Rong Xia talked about His Majesty, definitely not referring to Emperor Fengning, but Emperor Yunqing who hadn't shown his face for a long time.
Yao Peiji pretended not to understand, and kept drinking tea with his head down.
"Lord Hou, Your Majesty is the heir appointed by the Supreme Emperor. What do you mean by that?" The eunuch who had been quiet for a long time just now couldn't help but speak again, "Your Majesty is the Supreme Emperor's child. Could it be..."
"Boom!" A teacup exploded at his feet.
Rong Xia said with a cold face: "I am talking to Master Yao, how can you, a lowly person, interrupt?"
"Come on!"
A few soldiers in iron armor walked in with vile faces.
"Drag this eunuch down and cut off his tongue," Rong Xia said with a blank expression, "It sounds annoying."
Ignoring the eunuch's struggle, the soldier covered his mouth and dragged on. None of the other eunuchs who came along with them dared to speak. Only now did they fully wake up. This is not the Daye Palace, and they are not imperial celebrities that even the courtiers want to please. No one will give them face.
Marquis Cheng An made a move without warning, how dare they offend?
Seeing the talkative eunuch being dragged out, Yao Peiji didn't feel offended, instead he stood up and apologized to Rong Xia.
"Your Majesty Yao, don't take it to heart, you have nothing to do with other people's faults," Rong Xia said, "Master Yao, please go back and tell King Ning that Rong doesn't care about the title, but just wants King Ning to bring His Majesty and the Crown Prince out. To prove the safety of the two."
Yao Peiji didn't insist, and immediately agreed: "The next official will definitely convey the meaning of Lord Hou."
Yao Peiji hadn't returned to the capital yet, and the news that Rong Xia would rather not have the title of Prince, but also ensure the safety of His Majesty and the Crown Prince, had spread across several counties, even people in the capital knew about it.
Some people boasted that Rong Xia would not bow down to power, and some people boasted that Rong Xia was loyal, which further confirmed that Jiang Luo's throne did not come from a righteous path.
"He rebelled and made a good name?" Jiang Luo almost burst into anger when he heard these rumors, "Go and tell Jing Zhaoyi that if anyone in the capital speaks nonsense, he will be sent to prison directly."
"Your Majesty, you can't do this," said a traitor with some brains. "If you really do this, in the eyes of the common people, it will only make us feel guilty."
Jiang Luo suddenly lowered his face, "If the Supreme Emperor dies of illness, naturally no one will clamor to see him."
The others frowned. Now that His Majesty has taken the throne and the Supreme Emperor is under house arrest, killing his father is not a good reputation. This matter... I'm afraid it can't be done.
They didn't dare to speak out, so they had to express their attitude in silence.
Jiang Luo was most annoyed by their silent and useless appearance, and asked them to retreat after a few curses.
He thought for a long time in the hall, recalling the behaviors of Emperor Yunqing's preference for the prince, and finally made up his mind. He recruited Wang De, the eunuch next to Emperor Yunqing, and handed a pack of medicine to Wang De.
"Father hasn't slept well recently, and you have frequent heart palpitations, right?" Jiang Luo looked at Wang De with a gloomy expression.
Wang De knelt on the ground and did not speak.
Jiang Luo suddenly became angry and stood up as if kicking him. At this time, a eunuch crawled in and ran in.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
"Rong Xia has come to the capital!"
