Silence.
Deathly silence!
The guards and maids of the Rong family stared at Ying Yi in amazement.
They had lived in the imperial capital for a long time and had heard many versions of Ying Yi, all of whom were cruel and cold-blooded.
But seeing him today.
Apart from the kingly and domineering aura that made people submit, where did Ying Yi's cruel appearance come from? He was clearly a wise ruler.
Moreover.
Ying Yi was tall and handsome, with the aura of a superior.
He fascinated these maids.
However, only Rong Xinxue remained calm and composed from beginning to end.
But deep in her heart, she was still in a trance for a moment because of Ying Yi's action.
"Little...Miss..."
Ying Yi was respectful, Rong Xinxue stood in place, without saying a word, startled Xiaorou beside her, and quietly pulled Rong Xinxue's sleeve.
Rong Xinxue looked at Ying Yi with her beautiful eyes.
Her face was pale, and she looked pitiful.
In front of Ying Yi, she tried her best to downplay her presence, but she didn't expect that he still noticed her.
Seeing the emperor she once loved deeply again.
It would be a lie to say that she had no feelings at all.
But now, she just wanted to be well on her own, and didn't want to get involved too much. Whether it was love or hate, she just wanted to spend the rest of her life in secret.
Although she didn't want to have any communication with Ying Yi.
But she didn't want to offend him either.
Rong Xinxue opened her mouth slightly, "Your Majesty, your words are too serious."
"The foundation of the Rong family is all due to the people. The Rong family dare not forget its roots, so seeing the refugees like this, it should help them."
"Cough cough~"
Rong Xinxue coughed a few times.
Her throat was fishy and sweet, and she quickly covered her white lips with a white handkerchief.
Calm down for a moment.
Rong Xinxue panted slightly.
The originally pale jade face was even more bloodless, with a trace of bright red blood hanging from the corner of her mouth, which looked particularly eye-catching.
Rong Xinxue's delicate body was unstable, but fortunately Xiaorou supported her on one side.
She looked at Ying Yi and said softly, "Your Majesty, Xinxue is not feeling well, so she will go back to Rong Mansion first."
Although her tone was soft.
But Ying Yi heard a hint of alienation and coldness from her, as well as a sense of relief.
Ying Yi sighed secretly and stepped forward.
He clearly felt the cold air flowing through Rong Xinxue's body. This cold air was not like the cold poison in Feng Luoxi's body. It was extremely difficult to solve it, and he had to keep suppressing it with fire-attributed spiritual objects.
If Rong Xinxue could treat it with peace of mind.
With the powerful energy of the Rong family, even if it could not be cured, it could prolong her life for a long time.
But now.
Rong Xinxue seemed to have seen through her fate, as if she had lost the motivation to live. She was not very active in treatment, so the coldness in her body dissipated and her condition became more serious.
"Miss Rong, this is the fire Ganoderma lucidum, and there are several fire-attributed spiritual medicines."
"I sense the coldness flowing in your body, and your condition is getting worse. These spiritual objects can temporarily alleviate the condition."
Ying Yi stretched out his hand, and several spiritual medicines appeared out of thin air, emitting scorching flames, causing the temperature around to rise sharply.
Sensing the breath of the spiritual medicine.
Rong Xinxue's white cheeks had a faint blood color, and her cold hands and feet gradually became warm, and her breathing became smooth.
Xiaorou and several maids looked at the fire-attributed spiritual objects in Ying Yi's hand, suppressing their excitement.
These years.
The Rong family has been searching for fire-attributed spiritual objects.
However, the spiritual objects that can be bought with silver are always some low-grade spiritual objects.
As long as the high-grade spiritual objects, such as the earth-grade and heaven-grade, are not available at all by spending money.
According to the power of the Rong family.
Even if they don't give money, there are still many cultivators who are willing to cling to this big tree and look for fire-attributed spiritual objects everywhere, but their realm is not too high, and the grades of spiritual objects they get are very limited.
Being able to obtain high-grade fire-attributed spiritual objects means that the cultivator's realm is strong, and he doesn't bother to cling to the Rong family at all, but takes it for his own cultivation.
So these years.
Even if the Rong family has tried their best and used countless resources to exchange for fire-attributed spiritual objects, it has always achieved little results.
It can only barely save Rong Xinxue's life.
Like Ying Yi, he took out a few earth-level fire-attributed spiritual medicines.
Any one of them can suppress the coldness in Rong Xinxue's body for a month, or even longer. They have never seen such a hand.
"Miss, you..."
Xiao Rou was full of excitement.
As long as Rong Xinxue agrees, then in the next one or two years, there will be no worries about the coldness in the body, and they can also breathe a sigh of relief.
But what people didn't expect was.
Rong Xinxue shook her head, with a formal smile on her face, and said: "Your Majesty, no merit, no reward, Xinxue can't bear your Majesty's kindness."
Several earth-level fire attribute spiritual medicines.
This surprised Rong Xinxue. She didn't expect Ying Yi to be so generous and shocked everyone present.
But she was very confused.
Why did Ying Yi treat her like this?
Is it just because of this insignificant porridge?
Ying Yi was stunned.
Sure enough, Rong XinxueXue wanted to completely separate from him.
Originally, he had found an excuse, but even a three-year-old child could see through that lame lie.
So he just did it.
He said directly: "Miss Rong, these fire-attributed spiritual objects are not only to thank you for providing porridge to refugees, but actually, I have something to ask Miss Rong."
Rong Xinxue said nothing.
But a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
She had no cultivation, no military talent, and no outstanding political skills. What could she ask for help?
Ying Yi said, "Miss Rong."
"The problems of the Qin Dynasty have been accumulated for a long time, so I have implemented a series of reform measures."
"But just paying back the soldiers' salaries, paying pensions, and taking care of their relatives is a huge expense."
Ying Yi smiled bitterly, "Maybe Miss Rong doesn't understand. Now the Qin treasury has been transferred out by many corrupt officials. Without money, I think it will be extremely difficult to do anything."
"To fill the treasury, either increase taxes or cooperate with merchants."
"But the people are suffering, I plan to reduce taxes for them, so I naturally can't target them. As for the alliance with merchants..."
Ying Yi paused and said in a deep voice: "I think Miss Rong also knows that merchants only care about interests and not national boundaries, so I can't give them too much power."
"So, after thinking about it, only Miss Rong can help me."
"As long as the Rong family can invest and let me carry out the general reform, I can promise the Rong family that I can further increase the power of the Rong family in Daqin in the future."
"Moreover, I swear in the name of the Daqin royal family that as long as the Rong family does not do anything that harms Daqin, Daqin will definitely protect the Rong family."
Ying Yi's eyes were burning.
Originally.
He didn't plan to tell Rong Xinxue about this matter, he should talk to Rong Wanyi directly.
However, if he didn't take action, the girl's illness would not last long, so he could only use this excuse to let her accept the elixir half-truthfully.
Sure enough.
Hearing Ying Yi's words, Rong Xinxue's beautiful eyes showed a hint of hesitation.
If it was any other excuse, Rong Xinxue would not bother to talk nonsense with Ying Yi.
But it concerns millions of people. With her personality, she certainly does not want the people to suffer, and she also wants to do her best.
Looking at Ying Yi, Rong Xinxue was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "Your Majesty, Xinxue cannot make the decision on this matter."
"I will go back and tell my father. Whether it will succeed or fail, Xinxue is not sure."
"That's good."
Ying Yi smiled and nodded.
Rong Xinxue hummed, and then moved lightly towards the carriage. Ying Yi called her and handed the spiritual object again.
"Miss Rong, whether it succeeds or fails, this thing will be regarded as a thank you gift from Ying. I hope Miss Rong will not refuse it, otherwise I will have to think of another way to fill the national treasury."
"You..."
Rong Xinxue frowned slightly and wanted to refuse, but in the blink of an eye, her delicate jade hand was grasped by a heavy hand, and a storage ring fell into her palm.
Ying Yi smiled faintly, and his figure gradually blurred until it disappeared.
Stunned for a moment.
Looking at the storage ring in her hand, Rong Xinxue's expression was dazed. Holding the storage ring, there was still a trace of Ying Yi's residual warmth on it.
But soon.
Her somewhat messy mood finally calmed down.
"Since we have to break it off, let's break it off completely."
"I am doing this for the common people of the world, not just for you, Ying Yi. I will return this storage ring to you."
ps: I will make up for the missing one in the next few days. I have been very busy recently, with so many things to do, and I am exhausted both physically and mentally. Please forgive me, godfathers.
