Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 187 not allowed

Xu Caizhi and Mr. Kang were on the side, and there was nothing to say, but Wang Jixian, with the mentality of "compassion and compassion", thought that his persuasion to Hua Rong was very effective, so he went back to his seat and took a sip of rough tea, which was really tasteless. Extremely, then quietly frowned again.

The room fell silent. After all, Eunuch Kang was good at flattering, and immediately said with a smile: "I have some good news to tell you when I come this time, and I almost forgot. You see, I am really confused..."

He shouted, and two guards came in from outside the door, holding two boxes, and opened them, one box contained some precious medicinal materials; the other box contained a hundred taels of gold.

"This is a reward from the official family. The official family knows that Mr. Yue has a clean sleeve and no money left in his family. He is treating Mrs. Yue's illness..."

Yue Pengju thanked him immediately.

Hua Rong's eyes were slightly wet, and the slight resentment towards Zhao Deji in his heart had completely dissipated by now.I have received his life-saving grace once, and I have had him miss it so much, it is not in vain to get acquainted with him.

She glanced at Yue Pengju, Yue Pengju nodded, went into the room and took out two letters, and handed them to Eunuch Kang: "I would like to ask Mr. Kang to submit this to His Majesty. Thank you for your kindness. Pengju has a great trust..."

Eunuch Kang saw that the letter was written by Yue Pengju and Hua Rong respectively.Hua Rong's letter was to report in detail to the emperor the details of her mission to the Kingdom of Jin, including the Queen Mother's recent situation and the tragic death of Empress Xing.And Yue Pengju's letter was a letter of resignation.

Eunuch Kang saw the word "resignation" and his face changed: "Lord Yue, what do you mean?"

Xu Caizhi and Wang Jixian were also very surprised.Yue Pengju was so young, how difficult it was to be promoted to such a position. It can be said that he earned it in exchange for a hail of bullets. Many generals, who have dreamed of it all their lives, could not achieve this position. Why did they give up so easily?

Xu Caizhi also hurriedly persuaded: "Pengju, why are you doing this?"

He has a deep relationship with the two of them, and when he was in a hurry, he revealed his true feelings, so he didn't follow the official customs and only called them by name.Yue Pengju glanced at him gratefully, and said calmly: "Thank you, my lords, for your generosity. Pengju did not act hastily, but has been deliberating for a long time. The reason for his resignation was clearly written in the letter. His Majesty will definitely understand... "

"Pengju, the country is employing people..."

"How dare Pengju refuse to serve the country? It's because his wife is seriously ill, so Pengju has no choice but to be selfish."

"what?"

"To tell you the truth, Pengju has been tired of his military career these years, but he wants to find a piece of clean land with his wife and live comfortably for a few years..."

Everyone immediately understood that it was because he understood that his wife's time was short and wanted to spend the remaining days with her.

The three of them looked at Hua Rong together, but saw that she was still sitting on the chair, only listening to Yue Pengju quietly, staring at him intently, her long eyelashes were motionless, and she even had that kind of soft and peaceful smile.

Because of this, the three of them felt even more uncomfortable, as if they were witnessing a flower slowly wither.

Xu Caizhi couldn't help it, his voice was a little choked up: "Since that's the case, I'll plead for you in front of the official family, and the official family will definitely approve..."

"Thank you sir for being perfect."

Wang Jixian didn't take it seriously, although he sympathized with Hua Rong, but destiny is hard to break, the matter of the emperor is a major event, and those who make major events don't care about trivial matters, a good man has ambitions everywhere, and he even gave up his good future for a mere woman, shaking his head, secretly Sigh, no wonder Yue Pengju is so cold, he turned out to be a vulgar man who is pedantic and heroic.

How can such a man achieve great things?

......................................................

Because the barracks were cold and simple, the pampered Wang Jixian didn't want to stay longer, so he returned with the others the next day.

Yue Pengju and his wife sent the three of them to the door, and Xu Caizhi said, "You two, please wait a while. Mrs. Yue is not feeling well, so there is no need to send them away."

Wang Ji first looked at Hua Rong, shook his head, after all, it was from the doctor's heart, he felt a bit of sympathy for her, and said: "I will definitely report the truth to Your Majesty."

"Thank you, both adults, for your fulfillment."

What Eunuch Kang never forgot at first was to ask about King Qin's whereabouts, because after King Qin said goodbye to him in that brothel, there was no news about him.However, he is shrewd and experienced, and he knows that King Qin chased him into the army to kill Yue Pengju. Now that Hua Rong is injured like this, he is not sure if King Qin did it, and in front of the couple, he didn't ask When King Qin fell, even though he felt itchy, he didn't dare to open his mouth.

Although Hua Rong didn't know his intentions, she knew that he had a good impression of King Qin. Seeing him looking around, she casually found a tactful excuse, invited him aside, laughed, and said in a low voice: " Mr. Kang, King Qin has returned to sea."

When Eunuch Kang saw that she took the initiative to mention King Qin, he was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "When did he go back?"

"I went back a long time ago. Because I was in a hurry, I didn't have time to say goodbye to you in person. He said that Mr. Kang treated him warmly, and asked me to greet him if I see Mr. Kang in the future."

In fact, King Qin never mentioned Eunuch Kang at all, but Eunuch Kang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty treats me very warmly."

After everyone exchanged greetings, they set off on the road.

The carriage disappeared, and Yue Pengju and Hua Rong went back to the house together. Hua Rong sighed: "Thank you for the kindness of the officials. You can send someone from thousands of miles to treat me."

Yue Pengju smiled slightly.In his heart, he and his wife actually have a slightly different opinion on this point. The official sent people here this time, it must not be as simple as "diagnosis and treatment", but to see if Hua Rong is really injured; whether he really resigned.

Seeing him laughing like this, Hua Rong suddenly understood what he was thinking, and her heart shivered. It doesn't matter what she is like now. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. If she doesn't care a little bit and offends the officials, Yue Pengju's life will be difficult.

She immediately said: "Pengju, then resign!"

It was the first time Yue Pengju saw her supportive attitude towards his resignation. He obviously understood his intentions and nodded with a smile.

Eunuch Kang and Wang Jixian were in a carriage. As soon as they got into the carriage, he saw Wang Jixian's expression was quite sad, and he smiled strangely: "Master Wang, don't be too upset."

Wang Jixian snorted and did not speak.

Eunuchs are best at trying to figure out other people's thoughts, not to mention, Eunuch Kang has witnessed Wang Jixian's behavior for several months in a row. He has excellent medical skills and is favored by the emperor.This time, although he was ordered to come to treat Hua Rong, according to the usual "hidden rules", he thought he would receive generous gifts, but Yue Pengju only gave some worthless local products.

He smirked: "Yue Pengju is so poor, there is no oil or water..."

"He has already served as a Xuan Fu envoy, is he really so poor? This court has a good salary, is he just trying to gain fame or is he really pedantic?"

"You don't know, I have known him and his wife for many years. Both of them are poor and single-minded. It goes without saying that Yue Pengju will distribute all the rewards to his subordinates; Mrs. Yue, she just let the imperial concubine not be a concubine. I don't enjoy the glory and wealth, but I desperately want to marry that poor Yue Pengju..."

This is the first time Wang Jixian heard this piece of gossip, he was very interested in it, and nodded quickly: "So that's the case, this kind of person, alas..." So even though he never received a generous gift, he calmed down and just said: "This kind of person , even if you live poorly for the rest of your life, there is nothing you can do about it.”

Lin'an Palace.

As soon as Zhao Deji left the court, he heard the report from the little eunuch, saying that Eunuch Kang was waiting to return.

He immediately said: "Send them to the Royal Study Room."

"Yes."

After traveling for a long distance, the faces of the three of them were full of travel and dust.

The three knelt down, and Zhao Deji said: "The three have worked hard, no courtesy."

The three stood up, and Eunuch Kang handed over two letters first.Both envelopes were sealed with military wax, and both were thick.He looked at the handwriting on the cover, and opened Hua Rong's letter first.As soon as I opened it, I immediately saw a gold hairpin.It was Empress Xing who asked Hua Rong to hand it over to the officials before she committed suicide.

Zhao Deji took the gold hairpin, shook his hand, and hastily opened the letter. In the long letter, he wrote in detail the whole story of Hua Rong's departure from the Kingdom of Jin, including the detention of Yu Wenxu and others, and the living conditions of the Song prisoners.Especially in the case of Empress Dowager Wei and Empress Xing, Hua Rong did not write euphemistically, let alone the disguised memorials of ordinary ministers, he should truthfully describe the tragic situation.Zhao Deji frowned slightly when he read about the experiences of his father, brothers and sisters, but when he saw his mother's life in the Kingdom of Jin, after all, it was a bond between mother and child. Although it was humiliating, he did not blame his mother; Unable to bear it any longer, tears streamed down his face, and he fell down on the dragon chair with the gold hairpin in his hand.

The three of them had already guessed the content of the letter, but they didn't know how tragic it was. Seeing the official weeping bitterly, they were too frightened to speak out, and there was no way to go forward to persuade them.

Zhao Deji cried for a long time, Eunuch Kang stepped forward to support him, wiped away his tears, saw him holding a golden hairpin, and said to himself: "I am incompetent in the end, I am incompetent!"

The three of them didn't dare to speak up.

At this time, Zhao Deji's emotions had calmed down a little, and he opened Yue Pengju's resignation letter again.This is not a single resignation letter, it is actually a military memorial, which analyzes in detail the current balance of power between Song and Jin, as well as the civil strife in Jin and the deaths of those generals.Advise the imperial court on how to deploy soldiers and horses to challenge the Jin people, recover Lianghe, and rescue the clan.At the end of the letter, he even listed the generals who entrusted the task to him after he left, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of their respective generals. Your Majesty will please judge the details.

After Zhao Deji read the memorial, although he had to admit that Yue Peng was magnanimous and devoted himself to training his subordinates without any reservations, but what happened to his mother and wife made the peace talks he originally wanted to have with Jin become extremely difficult. Angry, he said angrily: "In the troubled times of the country, Yue Pengju dared not serve the country, but resigned for private reasons..."

Xu Caizhi said cautiously: "It's not because Yue Pengju didn't work, but because Miss Hua Rong was seriously injured and died. His husband and wife are deeply in love..."

Zhao Deji turned to look at Wang Jixian: "Master Wang, how is Hua Rong's injury?"

"Back to the official's house, Hua Rong injured his internal organs. Although he won't die immediately, he has become a useless person and will not be able to reproduce for the rest of his life."

Zhao Deji was startled.Just as Yue Pengju expected, when Zhao Deji received the news, he didn't believe that Hua Rong's injury was that serious. He thought that Hua Rong and his wife were afraid of being punished because they failed to complete the task of envoy, so they deliberately avoided it.Because Xu Caizhi and others were old friends with Hua Rong after all, he sent his most trusted medical officer, Wang Jiqian, there.Wang Jixian and the two had never met each other before, so his diagnosis was naturally true and would never be exaggerated.
