Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 393 Begging her

Emperor Renjing asked as soon as he sat up.

"How is Concubine Shu?"

"Concubine Shu's body has been placed in the jade coffin and will be buried at a selected date."

Hearing this, Emperor Renjing's expression darkened.

He held his forehead and said: "Wang Defu, pass on my decree and confer Concubine Shu as Concubine Shu. Everything will be done according to the funeral ceremony of the concubine. I..."

"Father."

Murong Heng interrupted him: "In addition to Concubine Shu's matter, there are more important matters for you to deal with. Tuoba Ye's matter has not been settled yet."

"He's not dead yet?"

"Life or death is uncertain."

Murong Heng raised his eyes: "Tuoba Ye was seriously injured this time. Even if he survived, he lost half of his life. The situation in the Canglan Kingdom is already in turmoil, and it must be even more unfair now. Father, now is a good opportunity to send troops. .”

Emperor Renjing was a little depressed.

"We can wait until Concubine Shu's funeral is completed."

Murong Heng's eyes narrowed.

Emperor Renjing's move was really irrational.

But he did not continue to insist on sending troops. After all, besides Tuoba Ye, there were others who were also watching.

"Then what does the father plan to do with Prince Rui?"

"What's wrong with Prince Rui? Do you think he is suspected of colluding with Tuoba Ye?" Emperor Renjing raised his eyes and suddenly showed a sneer, "What a coincidence, he said the same about you."

Murong Heng met his gaze: "Then who does your father believe?"

"I don't believe anyone."

Emperor Renjing frowned, and then added: "I don't want to doubt any of you."

"I only have you two sons now, and I don't want to see you killing each other!"

He seemed very tired.

"That's it. If there are any omissions about the hunting ground, go and deal with it. If there is conclusive evidence that can convict King Rui, tell me. As for the rest, I don't want to see you two brothers doubting each other. .”

Murong Heng said nothing, turned around and left.

Outside, Cao Ruo and other courtiers were waiting.

Murong Heng's expression was cold.

"My father is in ill health. The next matters will be handled by Gu. The guards at Prince Rui's paddock failed and are now confined to Prince Rui's palace. The guards involved in this incident will be handed over to the Dali Temple Minister for thorough investigation!"

"Yes."

After coming out of Qiankun Hall, Murong Heng walked towards the East Palace.

I met Su Liuer halfway.

She was wearing dark purple brocade, with a white jade hairpin stuck in her bun, which was elegant and majestic.

"Heng'er."

Su Liuer showed a concerned expression: "I have heard about the hunting ground. Are you okay?"

"My son is fine."

"It's okay. I heard that the Crown Princess was injured, and I have sent someone to deliver some supplements."

"Thank you for your concern, aunt."

Murong Heng said: "Are aunt going to see my father?"

"No."

Su Liuer's eyes flashed with sadness, and then she looked at him: "I am here to see you."

"What does my aunt want from my son?"

Hearing this, Su Liuer was silent for a few seconds.

Then her eyes slowly fell on him, and she smiled lightly.

"I just want to tell you that I really like the hairpin you gave me last time."

"As long as Auntie likes it."

Murong Heng's attitude was always lukewarm: "If nothing happens, I will leave first."

"Go."

Su Liuer stood there and responded with a smile.

Looking at Murong Heng's back, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

She originally wanted to say that if the emperor's health was really bad, could she give Yao'er a chance on the day of his enthronement ceremony?

But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them out.

She wanted Heng'er to let Yao'er go, but how could Murong Yao let him go?

East Palace.

The wound on Shen Ruoxi's leg was bandaged again after the medicine was changed.

She was just about to take a rest when someone announced that Concubine Xian was coming to find her.

Hong Xiu was a little puzzled.

"Crown Princess, Concubine Xian and you have always been at odds with each other. Why are we looking for you now?"

"Let her come in and you'll find out."

Shen Ruoxi put on her shoes and was helped out of the dormitory.

Outside, Ning Yingying and her maid were waiting outside with uneasy expressions.

Seeing Shen Ruoxi, those dim eyes finally showed a glimmer of light.

"Princess!"

She came over in a hurry, but hesitated to speak.

Shen Ruoxi asked.

"Xian Fei, why do you want to see me?"

"Princess, I have just received the emperor's decree, asking me to go to Guanghan Temple to lead the practice. I am not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict..."

"Why?"

"The Emperor said that Concubine Shu's death was related to me..." Concubine Xian took a deep breath, "It was all because of my jealousy and arrogance that exacerbated Concubine Shu's tragedy."

Shen Ruoxi looked at her.

"Your Highness, Concubine Xian, you are looking for me because you want me to intercede for you?"

"No."

Ning Yingying smiled sadly: "I can finally see clearly that the emperor has no affection for me at all. If he asks me to go to Guanghan Temple this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the capital for the rest of my life."

"That's fine. I don't want to come back to this place. At least the temple is quiet and I can spend the rest of my life peacefully. It's not a bad thing."

"There's just one thing that I've been worried about..."

Ning Yingying's eyes turned slightly red.

"If I leave, what will happen to my daughter Mingshan? She has a weak temperament and doesn't fight for anything. If I hadn't protected her in this harem, I don't know how she would have been bullied."

Her tears rolled down one by one.

"Mingyan is my only concern, so I want to beg you, Crown Princess, can you help me and ask the queen to give Mingshan a good marriage? She doesn't need to be rich, I just hope she can be good to her. People, it’s best to keep her away from the capital.”

Shen Ruoxi narrowed her eyes and looked troubled.

Seeing her hesitation, Ning Yingying immediately knelt down.

"Princess, I know I don't have the face to ask you to help me, but...but I really have no choice. As long as you are willing to help me intercede with the queen, I am willing to pay any price!"

"The virtuous concubine."

Shen Ruoxi helped her up: "I will help you lobby with the queen for this matter. It is not a difficult matter. But whether the queen agrees or not is not something I can guarantee."

"As long as the Crown Princess is willing to open her mouth, I will be grateful!"

Ning Yingying wiped her tears and finally smiled: "Princess, I'm really sorry for what happened in the past..."

Thinking of her previous sarcastic remarks about Shen Ruoxi, Ning Yingying felt extremely regretful.

She never expected that the person she could finally trust would be the person she had been targeting.

Shen Ruoxi's eyes were calm.

"Your Majesty, your words are serious, please go back and rest early."

Although Ning Yingying was indeed hostile to her in the past, it was just an expression of displeasure and he never really harmed her.

Now that she begged her like this, she agreed.

It would be better if Su Liuer agreed, but if she disagreed, it would have no impact on her.

"Princess, I'm going back first."

Ning Yingying looked at her with bright eyes, then turned and left.

Not long after leaving, people from Yongle Palace sent a lot of gifts, many of which were jewelry from the bottom of the box. They were valuable and should be the net worth that Ning Yingying had saved over the years.

Shen Ruoxi didn't refuse and asked someone to accept it.
