King's Landing [Rebirth]

The return of the Second Prince and King Jing to the capital was not intentionally publicized, but the court and the court were all people with sharp eyes and ears, and they each got the news early on and paid close attention to it secretly.

It's a pity that the second prince never showed up until the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion was opened and closed, which disappointed those who wanted to find out.

Although Sima Rong never showed his face, his intuition was exceptionally keen, and he smiled secretly in his heart, and said to Sima Shan: "Seeing that I came back safe and sound, some people may be disappointed."

Sima Shan was very happy. He and Sima Rong hadn't seen each other for a long time. They had a good chat on the road, and it was really enjoyable. Thinking of the hardships he had suffered in the past, and seeing how confident he is now, he was very relieved. He clapped his hands again: "The days of making them despair are yet to come, but when they enter the palace in a while, it's better to be careful."

Sima Rong nodded, went to Yuan Sheng's place after taking a bath and changing clothes.

Yuan Sheng heard the movement, and quickly put down the book in his hand. After saluting, he took out a few small bottles, looked at him eagerly, and asked in a low voice, "Second Highness, do you want to take the medicine now?"

This was discussed earlier, Sima Rong nodded and sat down at the table, picked up the book he was reading: "Is this medical book given to you by that genius doctor?"

"Yes." Yuan Sheng smiled, and skillfully wiped something on his face with his hand.

"My tattered body was a drag on you before, but it's a kind of good luck that you got favored by a genius doctor. Now, I don't owe you any more."

Yuan Sheng was taken aback, and shook his head again and again: "Second Highness is serious, Yuan Sheng's life is also picked up, and it is a blessing to be able to live again."

"Heavy work?" Sima Rong twitched his brows slightly, and gave him a nonchalant glance, "Why don't you say that you came back from the dead?"

Although Yuan Sheng was not stupid, he really didn't have much in mind. Thinking that the two of them were in the same sympathy, he whispered: "It's not as simple as dying and resurrecting. When I woke up, I found that I was back three years ago! I earned three years in vain. Year!"

Sima Rong caught a glimpse of his smiling face, his eyes filled with sweetness and satisfaction. He didn't tell him that he had earned three years in vain, but thought of Lu Zixiu's surprised look when he held his hand, and had some guesses in his heart: " In those three years, Second Young Master Lu had a very deep relationship with you?"

Yuan Sheng's eyes were bright: "Because of the injury, the root cause of the disease has fallen, and three years of hard work is the limit. I thought God would take me away, but I didn't want to live again."

Although he didn't say it clearly, he was sure that Lu Zixiu had treated him very well in those three years.

Sima Rong nodded, and didn't ask any more questions, but thought about the many coincidences of the two's rebirth, and felt really weird.

Yuan Sheng saw that he was sitting in an extremely upright posture, and he looked at himself, and suddenly he couldn't tell which body was his own, so he smiled calmly: "Second Highness, don't feel guilty, Yuan Sheng has already earned it."

Guilty?Sima Rong's face was stiff.

If it was the self in the previous life, for the sake of caution, even if Yuan Sheng was not killed, he would be imprisoned so as not to ruin his plan.

In this life, I have indeed become soft-hearted.

Yuan Sheng didn't know what he was thinking. After a lot of tinkering, he saw that his face had turned pale, and he looked like he was recovering from a serious illness. He nodded with satisfaction: "Master's medicine really has a miraculous effect."

Sima Rong raised his eyebrows: "The genius doctor accepted you as an apprentice? It seems that you are very talented."

"I would also like to thank the Second Highness and King Jing, otherwise, as Yuan Sheng, how would I know Master."

Seeing that he was always grateful, Sima Rong simply pushed forward: "Just remember this kindness."

Yuan Sheng nodded again and again, and handed him the rest of the medicine.

Sima Rong didn't delay any longer, and went to the palace with Sima Shan to have an audience. Both the emperor and the queen mother seemed very happy, and held a family banquet in the palace that day.

Because it was a family banquet, only the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress and the prince should be present at the banquet. Now the back seats in the palace are empty, and all the concubines in the harem are not eligible to attend.

Concubine Xi was full of glory, while Concubine Yu was itching with hatred when she heard the news. Since the crown prince was abolished, although she had never been thrown into the cold palace, her residence was no different from the cold palace in this deep palace. .

Seeing the resentment in her eyes, the confidant maid next to her quickly explained: "Grand Concubine Xi is just acting as the phoenix seal, wouldn't it be better for the empress to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"

Concubine Yu turned her eyes slightly, restrained her hatred, and smiled softly, "You're right, how could Sima Rong be easy to get along with? Although Chang'er was relegated, it was not that he had nothing to rely on. , I’m not afraid of running out of firewood.”

At the Empress Dowager's place, delicious food and wine were being put on the table one after another, but the Empress Dowager only focused on talking with Sima Rong, her face full of distress: "I haven't taken care of myself yet, I've just traveled such a long distance, look at this face..."

Sima Rong laughed and said: "Father is ill, sons and ministers are supposed to be there to attend to the sickness, and it would be a great disrespect to fail to come back in time."

The emperor was very relieved when he heard that, he laughed and said: "Rong'er has a heart, I'm fine now, Rong'er don't need to worry about it, since she's back, let the imperial doctor show you again, the most important thing is to recuperate your body."

Sima Rong quickly responded with gratitude, but he always remembered that in his previous life, he was ignored by his own father, and even used himself as a shield in the end. Now, facing his kind father's face, he could only hide it by lowering his head. There is sarcasm in the eyes.

The emperor thought of his extremely beautiful handwriting, and chatted with him about learning with great interest, apparently leaving all the princes in the cold.

Concubine Xi looked at the fourth prince who was quietly sitting aside, secretly anxious, and secretly winked at him.

The fourth prince smiled reassuringly, watched Sima Rong being dragged away by the queen mother to talk again, approached the seventh prince without any trace, and sighed leisurely: "Oh, it's a pity that brother three is missing."

The Seventh Prince was still young and his mind was a little immature. He was already close to Sima Chang. Hearing this, he was immediately annoyed: "The Prince was just demoted to a commoner, and the Second Brother came back. Did you say that you didn't come back in time?"

The room was suddenly silent, the emperor's face darkened instantly, and everyone thought in their hearts.

This meant that he came back aiming for the position of prince, but he didn't know whether the emperor was angry with the seventh prince who was angry with his words, or Sima Rong with ulterior motives.

Sima Rong glanced around and sighed calmly: "Alas..."

There was only one sigh, not even a word of extraneous words, the more the meaning was unfinished, the more twists and turns in everyone's stomach.

Sima Rong didn't care what other people thought, and only controlled himself to avoid the sharp edge.

The empress dowager felt distressed immediately, glanced at the seventh prince, and said calmly: "Since you know that Sima Chang is already a commoner, why do you still call him a prince?"

The Seventh Prince suddenly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and his face turned pale.

Concubine Xi hurriedly smoothed things over: "The food and wine are ready. The Second Prince returned to Beijing with an illness. It is a piece of filial piety. I must be tired all the way. Come quickly and get some food."

The emperor glanced at Sima Rong, the gentleness and love in his eyes had faded a little, and he said with a smile: "Today is a family banquet, there is no need to be formal, let's all sit in."

Concubine Xi knew that her status was embarrassing, so she stood aside to prepare dishes for the Empress Dowager, before the banquet started, she wiped the corners of her eyes, and sighed: "The Second Prince is finally well, if the former Empress is here, she will be happy for him."

After the emperor was forced to marry the daughter of the Xie family back then, he never wanted to see Empress Xie and Sima Rong. Now, after so many years, he has been indifferent and even reopened the Xie family, but when he suddenly heard about Empress Xie, the thorn in his heart It seemed to float again.

Sima Rong had a headache, how come these intrigues in the palace haven't come up with new tricks for many years.

"Father, my son has a merciless request." Sima Rong suddenly knelt down.

Everyone was taken aback.

Sima Rong was worrying that the fire would not be ready, so Concubine Xi handed him some firewood. Now the emperor has become suspicious of him, which fits his plan: "I ask the emperor to allow my son to live outside the palace."

The queen mother was startled, and hurriedly looked at the emperor.

The emperor pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Why is this necessary? Get up quickly! Your Tingyun Palace has been tidied up, wouldn't it be better to live in the palace?"

The fourth prince clenched his fists in his sleeves.

Sima Rong smiled frankly: "My son is no longer young, so it's not appropriate to live in the palace anymore."

The emperor thought for a while, then nodded and agreed: "Alright, you have also reached the age of becoming a king."

The fourth prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly loosened his fists, but he heard the emperor continue: "It's just that you are weak after all, so it's better to stay in Beijing."

Sima Rong said gratefully: "Thank you, Father!"

Can I thank you?How can there be safety outside the palace?
