Chapter 312 Pulling Out a Thorn

It shouldn't be surprising.

Nan Xi thought silently. Rong Yu was a taciturn person. What she said today actually didn't fully express all the details of the story.

But there were some things she could imagine.

Rong Huaijin fell in love with Empress Jinghua, a queen with a broad mind. This queen was not a naive girl, nor was she a boudoir girl with only love in her eyes. She was the ruler of a country and was destined to put the people of the world first.

So falling in love with her was destined to be a tragedy in Rong Huaijin's life.

In the grand sense, Her Majesty the Queen loved and loved people. She always considered the overall situation in everything she did. Feelings were never her primary concern. In a narrow sense, Empress Jinghua was born noble, and Rong Huaijin was just a servant given to her by a minister. This servant was created and cultivated by her, and eventually stood by her side and became a person at the pinnacle of power - but there was a relationship of superiority and inferiority.

Perhaps from the beginning to the end, Empress Jinghua never regarded Rong Huaijin as an equal.

This is why she has other husbands.

Whether it is for the stability of the country or because she has never thought about the so-called one person for a lifetime, in her cognition, Rong Huaijin is her person, and his identity can be a servant, a minister, and a "property" given a name by her, but not a husband.

Even the request of "not choosing a husband for the time being" made after returning from the first victory can be regarded as a reward from the empress to the minister who has made meritorious contributions.

From the initial encounter to the later love, Empress Jinghua has always been calm and rational, but the man who fell in love with her has a strong possessiveness, loves deeply, and is jealous, so that he can't stop and get rid of the husbands she has taken in one by one - however, Empress Jinghua has only four husbands, and these four are the most suitable candidates who have been carefully selected. They entered the palace to assist the empress, and they are both husbands and ministers. The family background behind them must not be underestimated.

Rong Huaijin's elimination of any one of them may cause great trouble, not to mention that he didn't let any of them go.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the anger of the major families, the dissatisfaction and criticism of the royal family must be one of the reasons why the empress was exhausted. In addition, Rong Huaijin became the regent and held great power. He has become a thorn in the eyes of many people. He made such a big mistake. How could the people of the major families let him go?

Nan Xi has no memory of the past, so she doesn't know what Empress Jinghua was thinking at the time. Did she blame Rong Huaijin? Did she have the idea of ​​killing him? Was she angry about this?

She also doesn't know whether Rong Huaijin regretted it after doing all these things, whether he regretted that he had caused so much trouble for Empress Jinghua and caused such serious consequences...

Nan Xi didn't know anything at this time because she had no memory.

But the situation at that time was conceivable.

It caused public anger, and the high priest who maintained the royal orthodoxy and protected the Dongling Sheji naturally couldn't protect him, but Rong Huaijin and Empress Jinghua had not yet ended their fate, and Empress Jinghua had not yet fulfilled her responsibilities.

That's why the high priest made a deal with Rong Yu... To be more precise, he made a deal with Rong Huaijin at that time.

However, the high priest is a servant of the gods after all, with a pure mind and body, and no emotions or desires. He will not care about the so-called love affairs. He only wants to restrain Rong Huaijin, the "demon beast", and will not care about how Rong Huaijin will renew his relationship with Empress Jinghua. He only wants a result.

He wants Rong Huaijin and Empress Jinghua to restore the prosperity of the Dongling Dynasty.

And Nan Xi's destiny is to return to Dongling before the age of sixteen and inherit the throne after his birthday.

Therefore, Rong Yu actually has limited time. He must control the military power of the Great Zhou in this limited time and become the one who has the final say in the Great Zhou, so that no one dares to refute his words and interfere with his actions. He must control the forces outside the Great Zhou and subdue all forces for his own use. He must scare all the countries that actively invade at once so that they will never dare to raise troops again, so that he can save more time to do other things.

He was ruthless and strict in his military discipline, all in order to give the most unforgettable shock and avoid wasting extra time.

Because he simply didn't have enough time.

Holding military power, managing Jiuxiao Pavilion, taming the Prince of Huainan, and all the subordinates who had not yet appeared in secret and were similar to the Prince of Huainan, with just a mortal body, even if he was busy for twelve hours a day, I'm afraid few people could do it.

It's too difficult.

So he said "there's really no way."

Nan Xi thought, outsiders only see the glorious side of this person, who can know how much suffering and pain he has endured when he is unknown?

Mortals are just flesh and blood.

No one is really born with a steel body, but the environment and will have made the flesh and blood into iron.

Although in a sense, Rong Huaijin is also to blame for himself, but who can tell about feelings.

The hall was quiet for a long time.

Nan Xi didn't ask again, and Rong Yu didn't say anything.

He seemed to have fallen into an abyss that only he could reach. He was surrounded by a thick sense of confusion and anxiety, helplessly waiting for someone to rescue him. But the longer he waited, the stronger his despair became.

Nan Xi was not unwilling to pay attention to him. She was just sorting out her slightly confused thoughts. When all the key points of the cause and effect were roughly sorted out in her mind, she sighed softly: "So the high priest actually has people with memories of their previous lives?"

Rong Yu seemed to be in a trance and did not respond.

"Rong Yu." Nan Xi reached out and lifted his face, "What are you thinking about?"

Rong Yu's expression was pale, and in his usually deep and indifferent eyes, there was only a distressing silence and loneliness, like a lone wolf who had lost its partner.

Nan Xi's heart twisted again.

She was sure that after listening to the whole story, she still felt distressed to see Rong Yu's reaction at this time, so she decided that she should follow her current feelings and put aside those things that had passed, whether they were happy or unhappy.

Just think of it as listening to someone else's story and pulling out a thorn in Rong Yu's heart.

After the thorn is pulled out, he will not feel pain from time to time and feel uneasy from time to time.

"Since the story is almost over, why don't you get up and look at my shoulder?" Nan Xi said coquettishly, "Your hand is so strong, I'm afraid it will leave marks."
