Chapter 772 It’s Not Easy for Anyone
Xuanyuan Yao didn't say anything.
"Xuanyuan Chen understands what his responsibilities are. He knows that after gaining the trust and respect of the Regent, he needs to do something to repay such a favor." Xie Jin leaned over and kissed the corner of Xuanyuan Yao's eyes, "He has a heart that loves the people, which is enough to be a good parent official."
Xuanyuan Yao pushed his face away, slowly hummed, and asked casually: "Where is Zong Yuchang?"
Xie Jin smiled secretly, but his face remained calm: "The young man of the Zong family has been very well behaved recently. He dared not come to me for no reason to show his courtesy. He took control of the Zong family and killed those who should be killed. He has a lot of things to do in the future, including business, interpersonal relationships, and business dealings with grain merchants. The interests involved all require him to handle them personally. This young man is also growing up slowly, so you can give him some time."
Xuanyuan Yao listened, and his mind couldn't help but outline the picture of the young man who was busy all the time. He secretly thought that he should be busy. Once people are busy, they have no time to think about messy things.
It's not easy for anyone in this world.
If you want to be in power, you have to work harder than ordinary people.
Those who hold military power must have higher martial arts and deeper strategies than the soldiers, have the ability to plan and have experience in killing enemies on the battlefield.
Those who hold power in the court must be smart and scheming, have a flexible mind, and be deep-minded. They must always be vigilant and have careful strategies to prevent any accidents, otherwise they will not know when they will be killed by others.
Zong Yuchang wants the power of the Zong family, so he also needs enough courage and should use his mind in the right place, instead of treating himself as a beautiful puppet to please others.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Yao suddenly felt at ease and felt that Xie Jin was actually reliable most of the time.
A short separation is better than a new marriage. Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao are so happy that they stayed in Jinyuan for three consecutive days without leaving.
The master gave them a half-month holiday, and the two of them went crazy day and night in Jinyuan, as if they wanted to make up for the debts they owed in the past seven months. They slept so hard that the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dim.
…
On the eighth day of the third month, Zhan Ruo, who had already returned to Yu Country, sent a wax-sealed secret letter—oh no, he sent a secret letter to Xue Mink.
The secret letter was presented to the emperor after several rounds of circulation, which really surprised Nan Xi, because Zhan Ruo, who had always been incompatible with Rong Yu, actually asked Rong Yu to open the secret letter himself.
Nan Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Zhan Ruo has grown up all of a sudden and actually wrote a letter to you?"
Rong Yu held the secret letter between his fingertips and was silent for a moment. A hint of coldness appeared in the depths of his pupils, but he smiled faintly: "Xi'er, do you want to guess what is written in this letter?"
Nan Xi pondered and said: "It should be something related to me." And it is very likely that it is not a pleasant thing.
After all, with Zhan Ruo's temper, if it is not related to her, it is probably impossible to send the letter to Rong Yu. If it was just a normal greeting, it would be fine to hand it directly to Nan Xi, and it would also be impossible for Rong Yu to open it in person.
So the biggest possibility is that he knew something about Nan Xi and sent the letter to Rong Yu to solve it.
Rong Yu didn't say anything, but opened the letter and read it directly. However, after seeing the content of the letter, his originally gentle expression gradually became shrouded in a layer of frost. Nan Xi, who was sitting next to him, was the first to feel the rapid drop in temperature around him, which was piercingly cold.
After reading the letter, Rong Yu clenched his hands, and the letter was crumpled into a ball in his hands.
"Ayu, don't be angry." Nan Xi had obviously anticipated that the content of the letter might make him feel bad, and kissed his face, saying softly, "Nothing is worth your anger."
Rong Yu pursed his thin lips tightly, and a real murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
"If it's not a very important matter, we don't need to care about it. If it needs to be solved by force, we will solve it by force." Nan Xi said calmly, "It's not worth getting angry."
She doesn't like war. She hopes that Dongling will become a strong and peaceful country, and the people will always live in a stable and prosperous environment, without having to face displacement and war.
But if it is really necessary to use force, she doesn't mind making those who always can't restrain their ambitions and die in various ways pay a price.
Rong Yu was silent for a long time, and the gloom between his eyebrows gradually faded. He asked someone to call Chu Hongyi in.
Chu Hongyi entered the hall and saluted.
"Pass on this king's order to let Xie Jin, Xuanyuan Yao, and Chu Nanyi enter the palace immediately."
"Yes."
Chu Hongyi quickly took the order and left, taking a few imperial guards out of the palace and went to the Xie family and the Chu family respectively. Not long after, the three people who received the order hurriedly changed their clothes and entered the palace to see the king.
Nan Xi reached out and took the crumpled letter from Rong Yu's hand, unfolded it gently, and looked at the words on it carefully, and then understood.
No wonder Rong Yu was furious.
The letter said that there has been a rumor circulating in the imperial city of Nanjiang that whoever gets the Queen of Dongling will get the world. This rumor has been going on since Nan Xi ascended the throne.
At the beginning of this spring, the ambition of the Emperor of Nanyue could no longer be hidden. He urgently wanted to marry the Queen of Dongling and marry her.
