Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

Rong Shen stood up and said, "You guys continue chatting. I'll go tell the servant to go to the appointment and explain on my behalf."

"In previous years, we would report safety once a month. This year, the war has been a little easier, and we received several letters last month alone."

When Duke Fuguo talked about his youngest son, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. He was truly proud of Rong Xiao.

Mo Zhaohua smiled and said, "That's good. If we can force Xiyan to surrender, we can gain a brief peace."

The Duke of Fuguo nodded, "Yes, it is impossible to completely take down Xiyan. The best outcome is that they surrender."

If Dongling only had Xiyan as its enemy, it would be possible to take it down by concentrating our forces, but there were still two other countries.

Now that the troops are dispersed and their strength is weakened, they are still able to fight back against Xiyan, which is a huge breakthrough compared to the period of the previous emperor.

Mo Zhaohua added: "Once Xiyan surrenders, our morale will be greatly boosted, and Nanzhao and Beirong will naturally be wary of Dongling."

The Duke of Fuguo was filled with emotion, "Since the last emperor, the Three Kingdoms have repeatedly invaded and seized cities and territories. Now things are much better."

When he was in the west, being able to defend the city was the limit. He didn't even dare to hope to recapture the city, let alone fight back.

From this we can see that Emperor Wenzong did have some political achievements and knew how to use people well, unlike the previous emperor who was easily fooled by the slander of villains.

These topics were too heavy and not suitable for women to discuss. Talking too much would easily arouse suspicion, so Mo Zhaohua stopped in time.

She then brought the topic back to the topic, "Grandfather, I leave my cousin's affairs to you. Remember, never let him leave the house."

The Duke of Fuguo solemnly agreed, "Okay, I will have someone watch him and will not let him leave the house before he takes the exam tomorrow."

"Grandfather, do you also believe in dreams?" Mo Zhaohua was just making up an excuse. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to convince them.

The Duke of Fuguo shook his head and said firmly, "No, I only believe in you."

Mo Zhaohua was moved and stood up and bowed to him, "Zhao Zhao thanks grandfather for his trust."

The Duke of Fuguo laughed heartily, "Zhao Zhao, there's no need to be so polite. I also know that you will never harm your cousin."

"Of course!" Mo Zhaohua asked tentatively, "By the way, did my uncle mention General Song in his family letter?"

"Why does Zhao Zhao suddenly ask this?" Rong Xiao would mention it in every letter, but the Duke of Fuguo did not want Mo Zhaohua to know.

They had been trying hard to conceal Song Chengan and Rongqing's past, fearing that she was too smart and would start to make guesses if she knew too much.

Mo Zhaohua said bluntly: "I heard that General Song did not marry for his mother, so Zhao Zhao naturally became curious about him."

The Duke of Fuguo sighed, "Cheng'an has been a very good person since he was young, but it's a pity that he and your mother are not destined to be together."

He once regarded Song Cheng'an as his son-in-law and wanted to bring them together, but Rong Qing treated Song Cheng'an as his younger brother and could not accept it.

In fact, the age difference between them is not that big. Although Rong Qing was born a year earlier, he is actually only a few months older.

Mo Zhaohua deliberately said: "Maybe it's not that regrettable. Didn't mother and father give birth to Zhao Zhao?"

From Mo Yun's attitude towards her and combined with Rong Qing and Song Cheng'an's past, she began to doubt her life experience.

The Duke of Fuguo smiled reluctantly, "That's true. Mo Yun's greatest contribution to our family is giving birth to Zhao Zhao."

Mo Zhaohua continued to test, "Zhao Zhao was not bragging just now, but mother has said this many times."

Duke Fuguo said: "Qing'er is telling the truth. Zhao Zhao is so good, it is worth it for her to suffer in the Mo family."

Mo Zhaohua didn't dare to test him further, fearing that he would notice something. If he took action then, it would be even more difficult for Wuying to investigate.

***

in the afternoon.

Mo Zhaohua has returned to Prince Yu's Palace.

Duke Fuguo took a nap and drank tea leisurely in his courtyard.

Rong Shen suddenly came to him with an unusual look on his face, "Grandfather, something happened at Lanting Yayuan."

The Duke of Fuguo was startled, and remembered Mo Zhaohua's instructions, and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

Rong Shen sat down, "My grandson's classmates had an argument with others and were all injured."

"Is the injury serious?" The Duke of Fuguo put down the teacup, frowned, and looked a bit fierce.

Rong Shen replied, "Some are minor, some are serious. Two of them have had their right hands injured. I'm afraid they won't be able to take the exam tomorrow."

His right hand was seriously injured and he was unable to lift a pen to write. In an occasion like an examination, it was impossible for him to ask others to write for him.

The Duke of Fuguo was puzzled, "How could this happen? You scholars have different tempers than us, so there shouldn't be any conflicts."

Rong Shen couldn't figure it out either. "My grandson also finds it strange. Even if someone does have a bad temper, he will definitely hold back today."

In fact, that person is not bad-tempered, but he is too straightforward. He says whatever he wants to say, which easily offends people.

The Duke of Fuguo asked again, "Do you know what caused the conflict? Who is the other party? Why did they use such a heavy hand before the imperial examination?"

"I don't know the details yet." Rong Shen was worried, "Grandfather, I want to visit and comfort my injured classmates."

The Duke of Fuguo refused sternly, "No, Zhao Zhao has repeatedly warned you not to go out today, and I also promised to keep an eye on you."

Rong Shen realized it later, "Why is Zhao Zhao so nervous? If she hadn't come here today, my grandson would have been at Lanting Yayuan as well."

Duke Fuguo said: "So this is Zhao Zhao's dream coming true. You just stay at home and let the servant run the errand for you."

Rong Shen's eyes were filled with suspicion. "Strange, is Zhao Zhao's dream so accurate? Could it be that in her dream, my classmates and I were beaten?"

"Maybe. I'd rather believe it." The Duke of Fuguo used both soft and hard tactics, "Shen'er, be obedient. Don't leave the house before the exam tomorrow."

Rong Shen has been filial since he was young, so he would never disobey. "Yes, Grandfather."

***

Royal Palace, backyard.

Mo Zhaohua had also received the news, and she had already sent people to keep an eye on the movements in Lanting Yayuan.

But she couldn’t understand why Rong Shen didn’t show up for the appointment, and the tragedy of her previous life still happened?

Could it be that she had misunderstood, and those people's target was not just Rong Shen, but also his classmates.

Rong Shen was admitted to the Imperial Academy, the highest institution of learning in Dongling, and most of his classmates were talented and knowledgeable.

If the group of people who took action were targeting everyone who had an appointment with Rong Shen today, it would not be impossible.

Mo Zhaohua was now just thankful that Rong Shen listened to her and did not go to the appointment, thus escaping the disaster.

As for whether she would go to visit her classmates and give others the opportunity to attack her, she didn't have to worry at all.

The Duke of Fuguo is a man who values ​​trust. This has come true again. In order to allow Rong Shen to take the exam, he will definitely stop him.

Mo Zhaohua sent everyone away and concentrated on practicing martial arts in her room. She now practices for an hour every afternoon.

In the evening, Amber reported outside that Shuying had something important to discuss with her. Her face changed slightly and she immediately left the room and went to the main hall.
