Chapter 168
The empress dowager's complexion became ugly, but Sima Xurun and Sima Xukang relaxed a lot.

Staring at Sima Xukong with a bad expression, the Empress Dowager suddenly smiled and said: "Since this is the case, Aijia can't force you. But, you can let the mirror stay and let her talk more with Aijia. Before she I've been ill for almost a year, and now I finally have the opportunity to enter the palace to accompany Ai's family. It's really unreasonable for you to take her away. Why don't you just go by yourself, anyway, the summer resort is very cold now, If Jing Rong suffers from the wind and cold again, you don't feel sorry for her, but Aijia does."

This old woman actually wanted to use Jingrong as a hostage to threaten herself again!

Sima Xukong was very angry in his heart, but he was still smiling on the surface. He rubbed his palms, scratched his ears, and said with some embarrassment: "This... Originally, the mirror should really spend more time with the Empress Dowager. Are you right?" She has the kindness of knowing you, which cannot be erased no matter what. However, after Jingrong and I got married, we have never had a descendant. Not only I am worried, but Jingrong's family is also worried. Now Jingrong has adjusted his body, The two of us are still in a hurry to have a son. It just so happens that the place in the summer resort is quiet and the environment is elegant. The most important thing is that there are no worldly troubles, so we can concentrate on making people. Maybe when we come back, a family of three will come to support the emperor Your Majesty please greet me!"

What Sima Xukong said was as true as the truth, and he looked very serious, as if he didn't feel shy at all, but he was really talking about something very important.This made the corners of the Empress Dowager's mouth twitch, and she suddenly couldn't think of what to say.

The Empress Dowager really didn't expect that Sima Xukong would use such a private matter as a shield. Even if she "missed" her eldest grandson Jingrong, she couldn't stop her family's grand plan, right?Just let her watch a good shield fly away like this, disrupting all her plans, the queen mother is still very unwilling.

Suppressing his laughter, Sima Xukang stepped forward and said: "Empress Dowager, why don't you fulfill the ninth younger brother? With his temperament, it is really not easy to settle down for a woman. And the humble ministers always His children are almost reaching maturity, but the ninth brother doesn’t even have an heir, it really shouldn’t be, I hope the Empress Dowager can make it happen.”

"Yeah, a thriving population can prove that our Longrui Dynasty will last forever. If the Empress Dowager finds it boring, I can let the youngest daughter of the family come to the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager. She can play the piano well and can Accompany the Empress Dowager to relieve boredom."

The queen mother's face can be said to be iron blue, but she still maintains a dignified smile on her face.Clutching the handkerchief firmly in her hand, the Empress Dowager smiled and said: "The Ninth Prince has said so, and if the Ai family disagrees, it will be really unreasonable. But if you say that your heirs are not prosperous, then the Ai family will give it to you again." It’s good to be a beauty, and it can also make you bloom faster!”

When Sima Xukong heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Empress Dowager, please spare this minister. It's already very hard work for one woman to conceive a child, let alone two! And the main thing for this minister is to heal his wounds." , if you give another beauty to this humble minister, then every year or two, I really can't come back!"

Sima Xukong's wonderful and pretty appearance, as well as the deep fear in his eyes, made the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince laugh out loud, and the Empress Dowager could only grin at the corners of her mouth, thinking to herself that this stinky brat has He has really become much smarter, no matter how he makes moves, he has the ability to save himself from danger.It seems that I really underestimated him and underestimated his strength before!

Seeing that the Empress Dowager didn't insist anymore, Sima Xurun changed the topic and said, "I don't know where the little prince is, can I let the humble ministers take a look?"

The Empress Dowager became nervous all of a sudden, and quickly said: "The little prince is not in good health recently and needs to rest. Let's wait another day. Anyway, the future will be long, and you can always see it. You have worked hard for several days. Why don't you go back early today?" Rest, how about it?"

Hearing this, Sima Xukang asked: "I don't know where the humble ministers are going to rest? The previous mansion should be gone long ago. If they stay in the palace, it seems..."

"Since the Ninth Prince is going to recuperate, you should go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to stay temporarily." The Empress Dowager quickly interrupted Sima Xukang, and said, "The Ai family believes that Hungry will definitely treat you graciously, right?"

"That's natural." Although Sima Xukong felt that this was a bad idea, he would rather let those two men with evil intentions live in his mansion than leaving behind a mirror.Anyway, it's just providing rooms, so what tricks can they play?
Sima Xurun smiled and said to Sima Xukong: "If that's the case, I will disturb the ninth brother."

"Where, where, we can just catch up on the old days. It's been so many years. When I was young, I could only watch my brothers play and drink together. Because I was young, I could only watch the excitement from the side. Now, I finally have the opportunity to be with you. Brothers have a drink!"

Seeing that the three seemed to be very close, the Empress Dowager sighed on purpose, and said melancholy: "Ah, it's a pity that the Emperor is blessed, and I can't wait to meet you one day."

"Don't be sad, Empress Dowager, we still have to gather strength to rebuild Long Rui's peaceful and prosperous world!"

"That's right, Empress Dowager, with the support of all parties now, I'm not afraid that Xu Zizheng will play tricks again. Long Rui in the future is bound to be even more brilliant!"

Seeing the swearing appearance of the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince, the Empress Dowager nodded seemingly relieved, but her heart became more and more uneasy.She could see the ambitions of these two brothers, if she didn't plan well, let alone the little prince, it would be hard to save her own life!What's abominable is that Sima Xukong actually wanted to get away and run away at a critical moment!Hmph, how could I just watch him go off alone, I would definitely have Sima Xukong on my side against the Second and Fifth Princes!
Knowing that two more princes were going to live in the house, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help but frowned, wondering what happened to Sima Xukong, didn't he keep a distance from those people, why did he get recruited into the house instead?Or is there something else wrong here? ?

Although he was suspicious, the eldest grandson Jingrong still ordered the housekeeper to tidy up the two best guest rooms, and at the same time prepare daily necessities, everything was in order, everything was properly prepared.

Although he knew that the two princes were leading troops into the capital, Changsun Jingrong thought that those officers and soldiers should also stay in the barracks.But seeing the armored bodyguards who followed the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince into the palace, Changsun Jingrong only felt that one head was as big as two.

Seeing the eldest grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong ran over excitedly, stood beside her and introduced to the second and fifth princes: "Brothers, this is my princess, eldest grandson Jingrong! Jingrong, this is the second prince." Prince, this is the Fifth Prince."

Saluting the two people humbly and politely, the eldest grandson Jingrong smiled sweetly, with a graceful posture, and said: "Jingrong has met the two princes."

"It turns out that this is the famous grandson Jingrong. She is indeed a rare beauty. No wonder the ninth brother mentioned his princess as if he didn't care about anything." Sima Xukang smiled heartily again. He just looked at the eldest grandson Jingong, but there was a bit of wildness in his eyes.

Sima Xurun also sized up Shunchang Sun Jingrong, and this glance let him know that this is not an ordinary woman.The eyes of ordinary women are not so sharp, as if she can see people from the beginning to the bottom with a single sweep.

With a slight smile, Sima Xurun said: "Ninth Brother always looks like he doesn't want to fight, but in the end, he always gets the best. At the beginning, we brothers fought for a good fief, but Ninth Brother was able to Stay in the capital and enjoy the best. And when it comes to marrying a wife, I have never heard of Jiudi's plans. I never expected to marry such a beautiful and intelligent woman. I really envy others."

What Sima Xurun said was half-truth and half-false, Sima Xukong laughed and said: "Hey, under the eyes of the emperor, even if you want to play, you can't play well. If you do something wrong, you will be called into the palace immediately, and you will be taught a lesson. But there is a good lady, I agree with this point! But the second prince must not know, brother, I have defeated many competitors in order to embrace a beautiful woman, haha!"

She glanced at Sima Xukong shyly, but in fact it implied a warning. Changsun Jingrong said softly, "You two must be tired too. I have already ordered the kitchen to prepare meals. The two princes have a short rest, and then we will be ready to eat." It's time to eat. Butler, you can lead the way for the two princes."

"Yes." The steward took a step forward, bowed in front of the two, and said, "Your lords, please."

When the two left, Changsun Jingrong's delicate smile disappeared immediately. He turned to look at Sima Xukong, and said angrily, "Sima Xukong, you are really going to cause trouble for yourself!"

Sima Xukong pursed his lips aggrievedly, and said: "This has nothing to do with me, the Empress Dowager insisted that they stay. But don't worry about Jing Rong, you can only endure for a few more days at most. I have already told the Empress Dowager Take leave, and I will set off in a few days to He Jing!"

Then, Sima Xukong told his eldest grandson Jingrong again in detail what happened in the palace.

And when Changsun Jingrong heard Sima Xukong's so-called "children" remarks, his face turned red, and he glared at Sima Xukong angrily and said: "You really dare to talk nonsense with this mouth!"

"I'm serious, I really want to have a baby with you!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The servant girl beside her had already suffocated her laughter until her face turned red. Changsun Jingrong didn't want to continue to be a laughing stock, so she grabbed Sima Xukong's ear and went to a place where no one was around, intending to teach this outspoken person a lesson. man!
Back in the rest room, Sima Xukang ordered his subordinates to guard the door, while he sat down at the table angrily, and said angrily, "Second Brother, look at what the Empress Dowager means, why do you defend Sima Xukong like that?" That kid? When it comes to talent and learning, what qualifications does he have to compete with your second brother? He doesn't have any skills, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, but he took advantage of everything, it's really unfair!"

After pouring a cup of tea for himself, Sima Xurun was not so angry, and said slowly: "The Empress Dowager is afraid that we will come back and divide the power in her hands. Hmph, no matter how much they resist, it will be useless. Now is the time for me to rule the world!"

"But the Empress Dowager blindly favors Sima Xukong, so it's hard for us to intervene. And I don't think Sima Xukong is really ignorant. I'm really afraid that keeping him is a hidden danger."

"Then find a way to prevent him from becoming an obstacle!" Sima Xurun said with a ruthless expression, "In a few days, the Third Prince and General Zhen Guo will return, and things will become more difficult by then. If the Empress Dowager Persuading the Third Prince and General Zhen Guo to stand on her side, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to us."

Sima Xukang nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I know what to do."

Today, the eldest grandson Jingrong was planning the business situation in the store with his clerk, when Lei Qing'er ran in angrily, after seeing the eldest grandson Jingrong, he pursed his lips and said with an aggrieved look: " Miss, that Fifth Prince is really a bastard!"

Changsun Jingrong felt that this was strange, so he asked the others to go out first, leaving only himself and Lei Qing'er behind, before asking: "What happened?"

Pulling the veil, Lei Qing'er said angrily: "Just now, the servants went to deliver breakfast to the second prince and the fifth prince, and the fifth prince took advantage of the fact that there was no one there, and wanted to... just want to belittle the servants! I didn't expect that the majestic prince would also would do such a nasty thing!"

His brows were slightly furrowed, but Changsun Jingrong didn't think about guarding those two people from this point.But thinking that it was Lei Qing'er who made the attack, Changsun Jingrong felt relieved and said, "With your skills, you won't let the other party take advantage of you."

"That's natural, because that bastard is still the elder brother of the Ninth Prince, and the slaves didn't dare to do anything to him, so they just taught him a little lesson and ran out."

Thinking about Lei Qing'er's so-called "a little lesson", it must have caused the fifth prince to suffer a little.

Changsun Jingrong shook his head with a smile, but suddenly thought of something, and asked, "He Nuo, you don't know about this yet, do you?"

"When the servant came out just now, I also ran into him. He saw that I was very angry, so he asked about the situation, and I told him everything. Why, what's wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the Fifth Prince is really going to be in bad luck!"

Lei Qing'er stared at her eyes in surprise, and murmured: "Miss, what do you mean, He Nuo will teach the Fifth Prince a lesson with poison?"

"That's right, the palace may be in chaos now, so let's go back and have a look." Changsun Jingrong stood up helplessly, and hurried back to the palace with Lei Qing'er.

Before he got close to the courtyard where the Fifth Prince was, Changsun Jingrong heard the sound of cursing one after another, and became furious, as if he wanted to swallow people alive.

Strolling into the courtyard, the eldest grandson Jingrong looked at the mess all over the garden, and asked in feigned surprise: "What's the matter? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with the arrangement of our Ninth Prince's Mansion? If that's the case, just say it, and we will correct it." Yes, why bother to lose your temper?"

As Changsun Jingrong spoke, he was about to open the door and enter.But the sudden outburst of anger inside made Changsun Jingrong pause for a moment.

"No one is allowed in!"

Following the roar of the fifth prince, the second prince came slowly and drove away all the people who were watching.

Looking sideways at the second prince, Changsun Jingrong pretended to be shocked, and asked, "Second prince, what's wrong with the fifth prince? But why did our house not treat us well enough to make him so angry?"

Showing a warm smile, the second prince explained: "Don't worry, brother and sister, he drank too much wine last night, and he is still not sober."

"So that's the case, so do you need to find a doctor to have a look?"

"No need, it's been a problem for many years, and it will get better in a while. I heard that my younger brother and sister are very busy, so why don't you just go about your own affairs. You don't need to worry about it here."

Seeing that the other party already had the intention of kicking him out, Changsun Jingrong had no choice but to say: "Well, if you need anything, just go and inform the housekeeper, and he will naturally prepare everything for you."

"Understood, brothers and sisters, don't worry."

After bowing to the second prince, the eldest grandson Jingrong left with doubts on his face.But after leaving the courtyard, Changsun Jingrong turned around and looked at the maidservant behind him, and ordered in a cold voice: "Go and call He Nuo!"

Standing a little awkwardly at the door, He Nuo first smiled flatteringly at his eldest grandson Jingrong, then walked into the room cautiously, and asked, "Miss, are you looking for me?"

Raising his brows lazily, his eldest grandson Jingrong didn't bother to circle around with him, and asked bluntly: "He Nuo, Fifth Prince, what did you do?"

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong seemed to know that he was the instigator of this matter, He Nuo didn't hide any more, and said, "This, it's not a trick, I just let that fifth prince pay the due price. He dared to play Qing'er's idea!"

With his hands folded under his chin, Changsun Jingrong asked again: "Then what did you do to the Fifth Prince?"

"It's nothing, it's just a small change in his skin."

"What little change?"

Originally, He Nuo himself was acting out of righteousness, but when his eldest grandson looked at him with a smile, his eyes began to dodge unconsciously, and his tone was also hesitant, and he hummed, "It's just... there are abscesses all over my body."

Abscess, no wonder the Fifth Prince died without letting others see his appearance. No one can stand the disgusting things growing out of his healthy body. This He Nuo is ruthless enough.

Shaking his head helplessly, Changsun Jingrong asked again: "It won't kill people, right?"

"Of course not. Although I really want that guy to be more miserable, I still have some sense of proportion."

"Seeing that there is a reason for the incident this time, I will not punish you. But if you still dare to do this in the future, then I will punish you."

He Nuo hurriedly nodded and said, "Miss, don't worry, there will never be a next time!"

"How long will it take for the fifth prince's injury to heal?"

"It will take half a month to get the scab and then to get rid of the scar."
