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

Chapter 428

In the afternoon, shortly after lunch, Leng Hong came over.

He came to say goodbye to the two of them.

Leng Ruqing didn't even take a nap in order to wait for him.

After the father and daughter met, they reluctantly said goodbye.

Leng Hong's eyes were concerned.

"You are pregnant now, so go back and rest quickly. When you give birth to the child, your father will come again."

He smiled, with some wrinkles forming at the corners of his eyes.

"When the time comes, my father will pick out a good colt and give it to my grandson."

"What if the baby is a daughter?"

"Girls can also ride horses, just like you, be free and easy."

Leng Hong's eyes were full of love.

The father and daughter talked for a long time before Leng Ruqing was helped back to the backyard to rest by Asang.

Leng Hong didn't look away until her back disappeared from sight.

He looked at Murong Yao, his expression became much colder.

Murong Yao looked calm.

"Is your father-in-law going to leave Beijing immediately?"

"Well, I have already met the emperor, and now I am ready to go back."

Hearing this, Murong Yao suddenly sighed.

"Father has not been to court for many days. I heard that he is obsessed with practicing Taoism and refining elixirs..."

Murong Yao was about to speak but stopped: "If things continue like this, I'm afraid the government will be in turmoil."

Leng Hong also looked a little solemn.

When he saw Emperor Renjing this time, he clearly felt something was wrong.

The once kind and diligent king was now dejected and sinister, and even began to ignore political affairs, which really surprised him.

"Why did the emperor become like this?"

"I don't know, maybe people change." Murong Yao suddenly said, "What my father-in-law told me last time, I thought about it carefully for a while after I went back, and I became a little confused."

"What are you confused about?"

"You said that ministers should be loyal to the emperor. But if the emperor is cruel and stupid, but the ministers are still loyal, is that called foolish loyalty?"

Leng Hong's face turned cold.

"Shut up! You are being treasonous!"

"My father-in-law hasn't answered my question yet."

Hearing this, Leng Hong opened his mouth, and after a while, he slowly said.

"Since your father ascended the throne, he has worked hard to govern and care for the people like a son. He is a good emperor. He may have had a lot of worries recently and has slacked off on government affairs, but he is by no means a fatuous king!"

"What my father-in-law said is that I have never doubted my father, I just..."

He hesitated.

Leng Hong understood what he meant instantly: "You mean...the prince?"

Murong Yao remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.

It took a long time before he spoke again.

"Even if I don't fight now, will my father-in-law really let me go if the prince ascends the throne?"

"Prince, he..."

"Father-in-law really knows the prince?"

Hearing this, Leng Hong narrowed his eyes.

He had gotten along with Murong Heng for a while, but it was impossible to say how much he knew about him.

The last time he blurted out that Murong Heng would not attack him was just to make Murong Yao give up his irresponsible thoughts.

But upon closer inspection, he didn't dare to tell.

"I have been fighting with him for so many years. I don't believe that he will be so generous in the end and let me continue to comfort and be my King Rui. It's okay if my father-in-law doesn't help me. I just hope that if one day comes, you won't stand. On my hostile side."

Murong Yao's voice was low.

"I know that I am irrebellious, but... I am obviously also a prince. To put it another way, my father was not a prince at the beginning."

Leng Hong opened his mouth and said.

"Now that your father is on the throne, it is too early to talk about the future. The first thing you have to do now is to care about Ruqing's health."

"That's what my father-in-law said."

Leng Hong nodded, then turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and said: "You can be your Prince Rui peacefully. Now that your father is not yet in his twilight years, you still have a lot of time to get out. If the time comes, the prince still doesn't want to." I’ll let you go and talk about it later.”

His broad back gradually faded away.

Murong Yao looked at his back, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Have a lot of time?

He actually felt that his father's time might be running out.

Murong Yao withdrew his gaze and prepared to return to his house. After thinking about it, he turned around and walked towards Leng Ruqing's yard.

He didn't know if he felt guilty, but he had been wanting to see Leng Ruqing more these days.

But seeing her happy look of knowing nothing, there was an indescribable sourness in her chest.

He had never felt such feelings before.

Just as he was about to step into Leng Ruqing's courtyard, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him.

Turning his head, he saw a white figure flashing past the corner.

It's Lin Xiuyi.

Fei Shao whispered.

"Your Majesty, Princess Lin has been secretly paying attention to what's going on here recently. Should we send more people to keep an eye on her to prevent her from doing something?"

"no need."

Murong Yao's eyes flashed with deep thought, and then he walked into Leng Ruqing's courtyard.

On the other side, Lin Xiuyi also returned to her room.

"I'm furious!"

She reached out and threw several cups.

Still not relieved, he stood up to push down the screen in the room.

Zhiya stopped her.

"Princess, what are you doing? There are servants outside, and everyone is watching. It won't be good if it reaches the prince..."

"What kind of princess am I? Now everyone in the palace thinks that she is as cold as Qing and that she is Princess Rui, and I am just a joke!"

Lin Xiuyi burst into tears, suddenly let go, fell to the ground and covered her face in tears.

"I was once a noble girl who was begged by countless children from aristocratic families, but now I have fallen into this situation! Prince Rui doesn't even look at me, and the villains in the house are laughing at me behind my back..."

"I have been alone in my empty house for so long, but Leng Ruqing is pregnant. When she gives birth to the child, will I still have a presence in this palace?"

"I'm not reconciled... Zhiya, I'm really not reconciled! Why is it like this!"

Seeing Lin Xiuyi's collapse, Zhiya felt a little sad in her heart.

She went out to dismiss the servants outside and came over to comfort Lin Xiuyi.

"Princess, don't be sad. No one thought it would be like this. If you had known it would be like this... you would have chosen a husband who truly loves you."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuyi made a move.

Then he burst into laughter.

"That's right... I didn't choose a member of a great family, but I insisted on loving Murong Heng wholeheartedly and wasting my prime years, thinking that I could exchange for his sincerity!"

"But what's the result? He would rather have a divorced woman than me!"

"If it weren't for him, how could I have lived such a life of being ignored and looked down upon?"

"I hate him……"

Lin Xiuyi gritted her teeth, her resentment had nowhere to vent, and it instantly poured out onto the person she was deeply attached to.

There was great hatred in her eyes.

"I hate him...Murong Heng!"
