Chapter 156 Confession
Although this benefited many officials, it caused more people to be disappointed with Long Rui, and some places even started uprisings against Emperor Long Rui's rule.

Because of the turmoil in various places, Changsun Jingrong's business has also been affected. Looking at the data sent back from various places, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help but feel a little headache. But not a fool.What's more, the current situation is completely chaotic, and it no longer develops according to the original order of history. Even Changsun Jingrong doesn't know what crazy things will happen next.

Just when the eldest grandson Jingrong was feeling melancholy, Shaoyao walked in mysteriously and said with a smile, "Miss, Mr. Zilin is here!"

Mr. Zilin?

Suddenly hearing this name, Changsun Jingrong was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked at the smiling Shaoyao, and asked, "Mr. Zilin is here, why are you so happy?"

"Because Mr. Zilin can make Miss feel better!"

Where did this girl come to such a strange conclusion?
Changsun Jingrong stood up and stretched his waist, half seriously and half jokingly said: "Don't let the Ninth Prince hear this, otherwise, I'm afraid I can't even protect you. All right, you bring Mr. Zilin in Bar."

"Yes."

After half a line, Mr. Zilin Shanshan came, with a pair of gentle eyes staring at Changsun Jingrong, as if he had many stories to tell.

Standing up and drawing towards him, Changsun Jingrong said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought Mr. Zilin had already left."

"I did leave the capital for a while, and I came back today after finishing some things." Sitting on the chair, Mr. Zi Lin said softly, "Jing Rong, how have you been during this time?"

"It's not bad, it's good to eat and sleep well." Changsun Jingrong deliberately ignored the tenderness in Mr. Zi Lin's eyes, and said meaninglessly.

Slightly lowering his eyelashes, Mr. Zilin asked suddenly: "How did you think about what happened last time?"

"what's up?"

Changsun Jingrong asked casually without thinking about it.But as soon as she said it, she regretted it.Obviously, Mr. Zilin wanted to ask himself if he wanted to leave the capital with him, and now he asked him again, didn't he just want him to learn things again?It was already embarrassing enough that day, but if you say it again now, it will really make people feel ashamed.

Uncomfortably turned to the side, Changsun Jingrong said first: "Look at my memory, I clearly remember it, but why did I forget it as soon as I turned around. Well, I know Mr. Zilin's friendship with me, but after all, my My family is still in the capital, so I can't..."

"As long as you agree, I can help your family get rid of the Ninth Prince, so that you don't have to worry about the future."

"But I can't use my family to take risks," Changsun Jingrong suddenly felt that she was also a very disloyal woman. She accepted the kindness of Mr. Zi Lin back then, and now that Xue Lingruo has been eradicated, she doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Doesn't that count as ungrateful?

With a light smile, Mr. Zilin said: "Actually, I knew your choice when I saw your radiant face. If you really don't have Sima Xukong in your heart, according to your personality, you won't either." I stayed in peace of mind. It's just that I still don't give up. I always want to ask myself. But, even though I know how you chose, I still want to persuade you to leave the capital. The world of Long Rui is about to change Well, even the capital city is not a safe place. I don't want you to be in danger, so I hope you can think about it, take your family and leave with me. "

His lips moved, and Changsun Jingrong heard his own voice and asked, "You... know what?"

"What I can tell you is that the capital will be in danger, and staying away from right and wrong is the best way to protect you and your family."

"If you know that the capital is in danger, if you can prevent it in advance, will a disaster be avoided?" Looking straight at Mr. Zilin, Changsun Jingrong asked, "With your ability, I think if you can get along with me If the prince joins forces, it will definitely work, right?"

Looking away, Mr. Zilin asked, "Are you begging me for Sima Xukong?"

Turning his cheek quickly, Changsun Jingrong said with a smile: "You think too much, I just don't want to watch the good capital become riddled with holes. And the people are so innocent, why should they become victims of the power struggle? However, if Zi Mr. Lin felt abrupt, so just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Standing up and walking to Changsun Jingrong's side, Mr. Zilin touched Changsun Jingrong's shoulder and asked, "What about you? How did you decide? Even if I tell you that it's dangerous to stay and go back and forth, you still have to fight with Sima Xu." Face it together?"

Uncomfortably avoiding Mr. Zilin's warm but strong palm, Changsun Jingrong said with a smile: "Don't be joking, I'm not stupid. It's just that my muscles know the news, so I can't just run for my life, I always have to arrange for my family Right. Mr. Zilin, I know your friendship for me, but I don't want to think about it now, I just want my family to be safe and sound."

"I can help you with this matter. There is a steep mountain range away from the capital, which is not known to outsiders because it is difficult to pass through. I can arrange for your family to stay there for a few days. Take it out and settle down, how about it?"

What Changsun Jingrong heard didn't seem to be how to arrange her family. She just wanted to be curious about what the big event Mr. Zi Lin mentioned was.

His eyes blinked, and Changsun Jingrong seemed to have made a big decision before he asked, "What exactly is it that you mentioned? Is it... related to Xu Zizheng?"

His eyes widened suddenly, and Mr. Zilin asked, "What do you know?"

"I don't know anything, I'm just curious." Seeing Mr. Zilin's urgent tone, Changsun Jingrong hurriedly explained, "However, with Mr. Zilin's identity, since he knew these things in advance, why didn't he think of a way to stop them?"

"Because there are some things that even I can't forcefully change." Mr. Zilin said with a wry smile, "Jingrong, I am not omnipotent, and I have my own helplessness. And the development of history does not depend on the strength of one person. can turn it around.”

This kind of Mr. Zi Lin made the eldest grandson Jingrong feel very strange, as if he had an unspeakable secret and couldn't tell others.And Changsun Jingrong just stared at Mr. Zi Lin like that, trying to see some flaws from his expression.

"What are you doing!?"

As soon as Sima Xukong walked into the room, he saw the two people looking at each other "feelingly and affectionately", and immediately he burst into anger and yelled loudly.

Turning around to look at Sima Xukong, Changsun Jingrong stared slightly, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Hmph, if I don't come here again, some people don't know what tricks to use to poach the wall!" Sima Xukong stared at Mr. Zilin coldly, and said, "I seem to have warned you, stay away from the mirror, she is My woman!"

However, Mr. Zilin didn't seem to take Sima Xukong's threat to heart, and said indifferently: "You can't decide this matter with a single sentence. You should see how Jingrong chooses. Come, I just want to ask Jin Gongrang for that answer."

"What answer?" Sima Xukong suddenly looked at his eldest grandson Jingrong warily, and asked repeatedly, "Jingrong, what question did the bastard ask you?"

With Sima Xukong here, Changsun Jingrong would definitely not say anything he wanted to hear, and this was why Mr. Zilin was confident.Mr. Zilin admitted that he had used some tricks, but he did not regret it.

Getting a little headache from the quarrel between these two men, Changsun Jingrong rubbed his forehead and said: "I am here for business, not for you to quarrel! If you have any troubles, go out and solve them yourself, don't talk about me dragged into the water."

"That's not to say, it's fine if Helian Zilin has other plans, but he's after you! I won't let him go!" Sima Xukong said indignantly, "Anyway, I don't It will make his wishful thinking come true!"

"But if Jingrong is not happy by your side, why do you want to stay?"

"Who said that the mirror is not happy? She can do what she likes every day. I don't know how comfortable she is! If you don't know, don't talk nonsense."

…………

Seeing that the voices of these two guys were getting louder and they didn't seem to stop, more and more people around them were looking here, which made Changsun Jingrong really upset.Finally, she stood up at once, opened the door and walked out by herself, leaving the two noisy men in the room.

"Hey Jingrong, where are you going? I'll go with you too!" Seeing his eldest grandson Jingrong leaving, Sima Xukong couldn't bear it any longer, and was about to get up and leave with him.But as soon as he moved, Sima Xukong noticed someone behind him tugging at his sleeve, and immediately said displeasedly, "Hey, why are you dragging me! What Jingjing hates is you, and I'm all overwhelmed by you!" Tired!"

Mr. Zilin looked at Sima Xukong detachedly, and after a while, he said, "Listen to me, take your mirror, and your family, and leave the capital!"

Squinting his eyes slightly, Sima Xukong questioned, "What do you mean?"

"Don't ask too much, even if it's for the sake of the mirror, I won't harm you."

"Why did you remind me?" Sima Xukong pulled his sleeves out and asked again, "Why, are you willing to give up the mirror?"

"I'm not giving up Jingrong, I just can see that she doesn't want to leave me yet. But don't be too happy, if one day I find that Jingrong becomes unhappy, I will still take her away .”

Standing up and patting the wrinkles on his body, Mr. Zilin returned to his usual elegance, like a bright moon in the sky, exuding a hazy and beautiful light.

Looking at Mr. Zilin's back, Sima Xukong couldn't help but sneered, thinking to himself that this man is really arrogant, who does he think he is!But after a long while, Sima Xukong felt that something was wrong, he felt that the man must have made a fuss, left himself behind, and went to look for the mirror alone!
With this in mind, Sima Xu hurriedly asked Bao'er to go out to find out the whereabouts of his eldest grandson Jingrong.

Fortunately, when Sima Xukong found his eldest grandson Jingrong, she was sitting alone in the pavilion, looking at the sparkling water, wondering what she was thinking.

Hearing footsteps, Changsun Jingrong asked before turning around, "Mr. Zilin is gone?"

"Well," Sima Xukong said with a light breath, "However, he is very strange today, what he said is also strange, his whole body is very strange, I don't know what's wrong."

Hearing this, Changsun Jingrong asked: "You also heard what he said about leaving the capital?"

Nodding his head silently, Sima Xu sneered coldly: "Who knows if that guy is playing tricks? How could he know something I don't know? No matter what, he is at most a quack, and I In the court hall all day long, do you know less news than him?"

This is really hard to say.

Changsun Jingrong glanced at his lower lip, and then asked: "Recently, Xu Shikang and Xu Zizheng, are they still safe?"

"I can't see any movement. Why, do you think there is something wrong with them?"

Fumbling his jaw with his fingers, Changsun Jingrong said slowly: "I always feel that you can check the two of them carefully. The emperor has been very interested recently, and Xu Zizheng's identity is very sensitive. I think Xu Shikang must be plotting What an outrageous thing!"

Thinking about the past and the past, Sima Xukong also grimaced, and said: "Actually, I have suspected that the two Mr. Xu are behind the scenes, but I have not found any evidence, so until now, there is no evidence. It can only be suspicion. If we don’t have evidence in hand, we can’t do anything to them, instead we will startle them. Moreover, the emperor trusts them both, and if they act rashly, it will only make the emperor jealous of me, and even exclude me.”

"What about the Empress Dowager, is there really no movement at all?"

"It is said that she fell ill, but I always feel that the Empress Dowager is being controlled by someone." Sima Xukong sighed softly, and said, "And according to the character of the Empress Dowager, even if she is paralyzed on the bed , and wouldn't let Carol be so nonsense. That's why I think there must be something wrong with it."

Turning around to look at Sima Xukong, Changsun Jingrong suddenly had a good idea and suggested: "I can go to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager, and find out what happened in the harem by the way."

"No!" Sima Xu refused without even thinking about it, "The emperor is delirious now, and he can do anything. And without the protection of the empress dowager, I am even more worried about letting you enter the palace alone." Yes. Jingrong, I will not put you in danger!"

"However, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch a tiger's cub? If you are afraid of this, what great things can you accomplish? Just lie at home and sleep!" Changsun Jingrong frowned and said, " Besides, my maid Lei Qing'er is back, she is a master of martial arts, she will not let others bully me."

"I said I don't agree, but I just don't agree!" Sima Xukong insisted this time rarely, and said, "I can handle these matters completely, as long as you do what you like. Jingrong, you It's my wife, I don't want you to run around too much, it will only prove that I am a useless man. You don't want me to be so shameless either!"

Looking at Sima Xukong helplessly, Changsun Jingrong said: "You are really strange. Some people don't agree with helping you solve problems. Forget it, since you think you can solve it yourself, then you can worry about it yourself. I'm still happy." It's easy. But let's think about what Mr. Zilin said. Since we know that the capital is about to change, we should make plans as soon as possible."

"Don't worry about this, I will definitely arrange it properly."

Rubbing his arms, Changsun Jingrong said, "It's getting colder and colder this day, and I'm really not used to it. I'm going back first, so go get busy."

"Jingrong, in fact, I came to see you today because I have something to discuss with you." Seeing that the elder grandson Jingrong was about to leave, Sima Xu hurriedly followed her and said, "Actually, I decided before that I want to take you with me." I went to visit the mountains and rivers, and now I can leave openly, so I want to ask you, where do you want to go?"

"I have been outside for a year, and I have been to many places, but I don't have any intention of traveling. I just want to find a safe place. If you want to go somewhere, then go, don't worry about me. Anyway, the relationship between us is only temporary, don't imprison you because of this."

The enthusiasm in his heart became very unpleasant because of the words of Changsun Jingrong, which made Sima Xukong realize the seriousness of a problem.He felt that the eldest grandson Jingrong always used the relationship between them to silence himself, and it seemed that he had to find a day to solve this difficult problem!

And just when Sima Xu was empty-handed to arrange the eldest grandson's family, the sad news of the emperor's death came from the court.

That night, Emperor Long Rui was changing numbers with Carol in the pool, but suddenly, he felt like he was in epilepsy, foaming at the mouth, his eyes closed tightly, so scared that Carol repeatedly called for the imperial doctor .But when the imperial doctor arrived, Emperor Long Rui had already died and was powerless to recover.

Emperor Long Rui's death was really sudden and strange, and the court was in chaos, everyone didn't know what to do.As for Carol, she committed suicide in fear of guilt after the incident, leaving those people with no excuses to find vent.

When everyone was in a mess like ants on a hot pot, news came from nowhere that the death of Emperor Long Rui was God's will, because there were others who were truly qualified to sit on the dragon chair!Such exaggerated news spread more and more widely. In the end, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the imperial court had no choice but to send people to arrest the people who spread the rumors.But these news are like mushrooms after the spring rain, the more suppressed, the faster it spread, and in the end even the appearance of this dragon son is said to have a nose and eyes, as if there is such a living person.

After about ten days of such chaos, another major event happened in the capital.

Palely running to the eldest grandson Jingrong, Lei Qing'er said out of breath: "Miss, when I just went to the front hall, I heard some adults were discussing the affairs of the court with me, saying, Xu Zi The Zheng soldiers left the capital and set up camp three hundred miles away from the capital! They have already surrounded the capital, claiming that as long as they hand over the state seal, they will not hurt the people in the city!"
