rebirth [rebirth]

When the matter was settled, Rong Jingxuan asked the elders to take care of their health, then got up and left.

When his tall figure disappeared, Xie Huaixin said: "Aying, look..."

Hua Shunying thought about his words and deeds just now, and said after a while: "Your Majesty is really different from before."

As soon as Rong Jingxuan returned to the main hall, he saw Yu Xiude drinking with Prince Wuping.

The son of Marquis of Wuping is only 16 years old this year, and he was conferred a month ago. He is very reserved when attending the palace banquet at this moment.

Judging from the title of title, Marquis of Wuping should be ennobled by Wu, but the Marquis of Wuping's mansion has been passed down to this day, but he is the only son who is capable of writing but not martial arts, and he doesn't even have a daughter.Marquis Wuping had no choice but to invite him to be crowned son.

Rong Jingxuan saw that Chen Qingyi, the eldest son of Marquis of Wuping, had been blushed by Yu Xiude, and finally called out: "Xiu De, don't bully the children, come here."

Hearing the emperor's call, Yu Xiude immediately put down his wine glass and walked quickly to Rong Jingxuan's side.

"Your Majesty, Qingyi has a thin skin. He only drank two glasses just now, and the wine at the palace banquet was not intoxicating. He is fine." Yu Xiude took a step back and stood beside Rong Jingxuan, smiling.

Although his reputation is not as famous as Xie Mingze's, and his appearance can only be called heroic, Yu Xiude is also a noble son with both civil and military skills. Standing in the palace wearing a prince's dress, he looks very majestic.

Rong Jingxuan originally wanted him and Hua Jingshu to leave with him, but after a second thought, he put down his thoughts again.

He clearly remembered what happened at that time, Chen Shengzhi was not easy to kill, although he had a suspicious personality, he would not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

As for the entire Rong clan, they committed suicide, but none of the other honorable ministers were affected.

The reason why Rong Jingxuan let Xie Huaixin stay in Yong'an was that the two elders were not young, and it would be hard work to run around with them, and the other was that Xie Huaixin was a well-known capable minister in the world. If Chen Shengzhi was not a fool, he would not have done anything to Xie Huaixin.

It is safer to stay in Yong'an.

The same is true for other nobles.

Rong Jingxuan has read almost all the history books in the palace, and he understands it very clearly.

What is the last name of the emperor sitting in the palace, and who is ordering the world, the common people don't care, and many courtiers don't care either.

As long as they can live in peace, they have clothes to wear and food to eat.

This is actually the same for most broad-minded emperors.No matter who the ministers served as errands in the past, as long as they can be used for themselves and benefit the people in the future, that is enough.

What Chen Shengzhi thought Rong Jingxuan didn't know, but he did think so.

For example, now, he said to Yu Xiude with earnestness and earnestness: "Xiu De, the world is not peaceful, you must remember that there are parents and wives at home, don't be reckless in everything, life-saving is the most important thing."

Some of his words were wrong, but Yu Xiude responded as it should be: "Thank you for your instruction, I will keep it in mind."

Now that the mountains and rivers are in turmoil, Yu Xiude also knows that Rong Jingxuan's shoulders are under heavy pressure, he only thinks that the other party has drunk too much, and everything he says is justified.

After Rong Jingxuan explained to him, he took a last look at the carved beams and painted pillars of Jiaotai Hall, turned and left the hall.

Behind him, the Jiaotai Hall was still brightly lit, and there were many cups of wine.

On the way back, Rong Jingxuan only called the small chariot from Errentai, and beside the small chariot, only Zhong Qi followed, almost running all the way to Chuming Palace.

Simply Chuming Palace is not far from Jiaotai Hall, bypassing Renhe Hall and Qian'an Hall, the gate of Chuming Palace is in front of you.

This time Rong Jingxuan left the palace banquet early. At this time, it was just getting dark, and most of the rebels were hiding in the front palace. At this time, the harem was quiet. Even if there were red lanterns hanging on the palace gate, it looked very gloomy.

When he reached the gate of the palace, Rong Jingxuan stopped the two foot eunuchs, and he jumped off the chariot without Zhong Qi's support.

Zhong Qi dismissed the eunuch and went to push open the palace gate in person.

Today is the emperor's big wedding, so it stands to reason that Chu Ming Palace cannot be locked when Rong Jingxuan has not returned.

When they all entered the palace gate, Rong Jingxuan walked quickly into the palace, and at the same time ordered: "Let them lock the door with a big lock."

There are two palace gates at the front and back of Chu Ming Palace, usually only two locks are locked at night, Rong Jingxuan ordered to use big locks, that means all three locks are locked, it is very laborious to get in and out.

Zhong Qi got the order and immediately ran to give orders.

Rong Jingxuan ignored him and went straight into the main hall.

At this moment, the main hall, which was supposed to be brightly lit, was very dim, and there were no eunuchs and maids guarding the gate. Rong Jingxuan looked normal, and walked quickly into the inner hall.

Turning around two corridors and bypassing a landscape screen, the inner hall suddenly appeared in front of Rong Jingxuan.

The four people who had been waiting here for a long time saw Rong Jingxuan and immediately stood up.

Rong Jingxuan walked in and ordered directly: "Little Fuzi, go get things with your Grandpa Li."

Xiao Fuzi said "No" neatly, and supported Li Desheng to walk out quickly.

Although Li Desheng's hair is gray, his legs and feet are very nimble, and he disappears as soon as he is old and young.

Only then Rong Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Xie Mingze who had already changed his clothes and said, "Ah Ze, help me get the clothes."

Since they were going out of the palace, it would not be appropriate for them to wear this bright dress. The first thing Rong Jingxuan asked Xiao Fuzi to do was to find some clothes that could be worn outside the palace.

Rong Jingxuan himself had a few clothes for walking outside the palace, but most of them were hand-embroidered with silk, which made people know wealth at a glance. Except for the white inner shirt, which was suitable for wearing, the others were really useless.

Xie Mingze was wearing a smoky blue muslin gown that didn't fit well at the moment, probably Xiao Fuzi and the guards in the palace wanted to come.

Time was running out, and there were all close relatives present, Rong Jingxuan was not shy, and changed clothes in front of them.

"Xiao Liu, Ming Ze, we will leave the palace together later."

Rong Jingheng has been weak since he was a child, and has been well-clothed and well-fed. Now at the age of 12, he still looks thinner than children of the same age.

"Brother Huang!" Rong Jingheng stood up abruptly, his face pale as paper.

He is in poor health, but he is not stupid. At this time, Brother Huang took them out of the palace together, obviously planning to give up Changxin.

No, Rong Jingheng looked at the resolute Rong Jingxuan, and suddenly took a breath: "Brother Huang, do you want it!?"

After all, he was young, and he almost shouted these words. Before Rong Jingxuan had time to comfort him, Xie Mingze patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty always has his reasons for doing things. How about it, we just need to follow His Majesty."

Rong Jingxuan paused for a moment with the belted hands, and then clenched them tightly.

Although he has experienced it once, he is going to take more people out now, and it would be a lie to say that he is not nervous.

Now he doesn't have many available people, and he is afraid of the spy of the rebel army. He still doesn't know what happened to the two elder sisters, so he is nervous, but he can't show it.

Even if he knows many things that ordinary people don't know, he will doubt whether his choice is right or not.

He knew that he was indecisive, and it was because of his hesitation that Xie Mingze sacrificed himself to die.Simply because the time was short this time, he tried not to let himself think too much, and directly analyzed the pros and cons before ordering. From this point of view, it seemed that things were going well.

Xie Mingze's words gave him more confidence and courage.

Rong Jingxuan quickly changed his clothes, he looked up at Xie Mingze's quiet face, and turned to explain something to his brother.

But before he could say anything, he heard Zhong Qi's voice from far to near: "Your Majesty, the gatekeeper said that there were many footsteps outside."

Rong Jingxuan's expression changed suddenly.

Why is it so much earlier than the previous time?

Rong Jingxuan clenched his fists, and decisively took one of them with one hand, and walked directly to the study.

Zhong Qi trotted all the way to follow, and whispered: "Your Majesty, is it...?"

He came running in, and his face was covered with sweat at the moment. Although he didn't know why the emperor changed so much today, maybe the chief executive was not a talkative person. He just had to follow the emperor's order to get things done. You can.

Now hearing that many people gathered outside, Zhong Qi finally understood, the emperor is leaving the palace?

Rong Jingxuan took a look at Zhong Qi, and asked Xie Mingze to take Rong Jingheng to the study to find Xiaofuzi to bring good things, then turned his head and said to Zhong Qi quickly: "Zhong Qi, have you been with me for more than ten years?"

After finishing speaking, before Zhong Qi could reply, he touched a pure gold ingot on Duobaoge and stuffed it into his waist, and said: "You guessed it right, the rebel army entered the palace, and Mingze Xiaoliu and I both have to leave the palace. If you don't want to leave, take advantage of the chaos and go out to change your clothes later, the rebels should not hurt your life."

Zhong Qi didn't answer right away, although his footsteps were flustered, he still followed Rong Jingxuan all the way forward.

The two of them were in a hurry like this, and Rong Jingxuan didn't have time to worry about what he was thinking, but he just searched all the way from Duobaoge, hoping to bring more things that he could carry out of the palace.

It's a pity that many things are for imperial use, and taking them out is also a disaster.

However, Chu Ming Palace was originally the East Palace when he was the prince, and he did not move away from here immediately when he became the emperor.

A few gold and jade objects were placed upside down on the Duobaoge, Rong Jingxuan quickly picked out a small and easy-to-wear item and stuffed it into his bosom, like a bandit robbing.

Zhong Qi didn't even care about his own thinking, and was stunned to see Rong Jingxuan acting like this.

Until the door of the study, Rong Jingxuan had not waited for Zhong Qi to answer, so he had to stop and ask him: "I believe that you are a human being, so I let you follow here. If you don't want to leave with me, don't enter the door of this study." .”

Seeing his indifference, Zhong Qi couldn't help calming down. He took a deep breath and suddenly made up his mind: "Your Majesty, I should follow Your Majesty."

Rong Jingxuan stared at him fixedly, and waved open the door of the study.

From childhood to adulthood, he spent most of his time studying and studying here almost every day. He has read half of the books in the study room, which is quite diligent.

Looking at this familiar study now, he felt as if it was a lifetime away.

If he hadn't experienced it once, he really didn't know that there was a secret way to escape from Changxin Palace in his study in the prince's palace.

However, at this moment, he was not allowed to express emotion, the voices outside the palace were getting louder, and through the corridors on the two floors of the main hall, he could clearly hear the voices of those people shouting.

Rong Jingxuan kept on stepping, and he led Zhong Qi all the way to the innermost library, which used to be full of boxes of all sizes, most of which were ancient books.

However, at this moment, each box was moved away, revealing the dirty blanket underneath.

Xie Mingze, Rong Jingheng, Xiao Fuzi, and Li Desheng were all waiting here. Except for Li Desheng, everyone was carrying a burden on their backs, so they were obviously ready.

Seeing Rong Jingxuan approaching, Li Desheng showed him a toothless smile: "Your Majesty, let's go and say goodbye. I don't know when we will see you again. The old minister hopes that Your Majesty will be safe and healthy, and that Da Chu will prosper again."

Rong Jingxuan knew that he wanted to leave behind to deal with the aftermath, so he would not leave with him. It can be seen that he was still a little sad because of his gray hair.

"Li Aiqing... take care of yourself."

Li Desheng helped him tie the bundle on his body. Seeing Zhong Qi coming along with him, he found another tattered bundle and stuffed it for him. .

Under the carpet, there is a square wooden door.The iron rings on it are rusted and don't seem to have been opened.

Li Desheng opened the tunnel door and handed the torch to Zhong Qi: "Your Majesty, have a safe journey."

Rong Jingxuan solemnly cupped his fists to thank him, and then handed the saber in his hand to Xie Mingze: "Ah Ze, you go ahead."

After everyone got off the tunnel, Rong Jingxuan whispered to Li Desheng: "Li Aiqing, you stay in the palace for a few years, and I will come back sooner or later."

After he finished speaking, he jumped down the secret passage, his movements were clean and neat, without any hesitation.

Li Desheng closed the secret passage with a smile, and put the box back to its original position. After all this was done, he quickly walked to the mezzanine of the nearby library and hid.

He has lived in this palace for nearly 20 years, and no one is more familiar than him.

Your Majesty, the old minister is waiting for you here.
