Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 898 The Culprit

When the two saw Tang Ning coming in, they stood up at the same time. Fang Hong bowed to him and said, "Meet Prime Minister Tang."

Tang Ning smiled and said, "We are all family, no need to be polite, please sit down."

If the Fourth Elder had not smelled the calming incense this time, the situation in the capital would not be like this. The Fang family had already prepared everything and could make Zhao Yuan the crown prince at any time, but they did not expect such a change in the end.

Prince Duan's rebellion failed and he was eliminated. The Fang family also canceled the plan at the last minute.

This is a good thing for them. After all, if the Fang family really forced Emperor Chen to abdicate, there would be no good words in the history books.

Fang Hong's expression was still a little shocked, and he said, "I can't believe that Concubine Hui and the Tang family are so bold..."

Tang Ning said, "Prince Duan and Concubine Tang Hui have brought this upon themselves. Lord Fang, don't worry about the Crown Prince anymore."

Fang Hong sighed and said, "The emperor's heart is hard to predict. It's hard for us, his subjects, to guess what His Majesty is thinking."

"You can rest assured now." Tang Ning looked at the two of them and said, "His Majesty has revealed to me today that he will pass the throne to Prince Run in three to five years."

Fang Hong was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up and he asked, "Really?"

After he finished speaking, he showed a nervous look on his face again and said, "I don't doubt Prime Minister Tang..."

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "This is what His Majesty told me personally."

Fang Hong felt relieved, stood up, bowed to Tang Ning, and said, "On behalf of the Fang family and Prince Run, I would like to thank Prime Minister Tang..."

Although Prince Run's success today is inseparable from the support of the Fang family, Fang Hong knew very well that Tang Ning was the person who played the biggest role in this process.

Tang Ning smiled and said, "I just said that we are all family members, Lord Fang, you don't have to be polite..."

After sitting for a while at the Tang family, the Fang Hong brothers stood up and said goodbye.

After getting the confirmed news from Tang Ning, the Fang family finally felt relieved.

...

"You really know how to enjoy life..." Not long after the Fang brothers left, Xiao Jue walked in from outside, looked at the green courtyard, and asked: "Why don't you live in the city? Why move here?"

Tang Ning said: "The scenery here is nice and quiet."

Xiao Jue took a breath of fresh air and said: "Except that it's a bit far, it's really nice. I plan to bring my father and Ya'er over. There is a large piece of vacant land next to your house. Do you mind if I build a few houses there?"

Tang Ning moved his family out of Beijing to make it easier to escape, but he didn't know why Xiao Jue joined in the fun.

Since Tang Ning told him the secret of Empress Xiao's death, Xiao Jue has become different.

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Are you okay?"

"What can happen to me?" Xiao Jue grinned and said, "The Tang brothers are dead, Concubine Tang Hui is also dead, my sister's revenge is avenged, I am happy..."

He sat beside Tang Ning, took a sip of tea, and said to himself, "Is the poison of His Majesty cured?"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "The poison is not easy to cure. Even if you can save your life, you will lose your life span."

Xiao Jue asked, "How long can he live?"

Tang Ning said, "If you take good care of yourself, it's possible to live for ten or eight years."

Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows and asked, "So long?"

Tang Ning's eyes fell on him again and said, "Don't do stupid things."

Although the Tang Huai brothers are dead and Concubine Tang Hui also hanged herself, there is another culprit for the death of Empress Xiao and Concubine Yang, a culprit that Xiao Jue cannot avenge.

Xiao Jue looked at him, smiled, and asked, "What if it was you?"

Tang Ning was speechless for a moment.

If it was him, the culprit who killed his relatives, no matter who he was, no matter what his status was, he would have the same fate as Concubine Tang Hui.

Even if he was the emperor.

Without waiting for Tang Ning to answer, Xiao Jue laughed and said, "I don't have your ability. The Xiao family is a small family and can't stand the tossing. I also want to pass my title to my son..."

Tang Ning looked at him and said seriously, "If you have any ideas, you must tell me. I will always stand by your side."

This is what Xiao Jue once said to Tang Ning, and Tang Ning returned it to him intact at this moment.

Xiao Jue smiled and said, "What if I want to rebel?"

"At worst, we can do it together..." Tang Ning smiled and said, "Haven't you wanted to rebel with me for a long time?"

"You don't want your life, but I do. Let's go..." Xiao Jue's eyes flashed, and suddenly he punched Tang Ning's shoulder lightly, saying, "Remember to keep the land next to it..."

Tang Ning watched Xiao Jue's back go away, Zhao Man walked out of the room and asked, "What did you say just now?"

Tang Ning retracted her gaze and smiled, "He said he wanted to build a house next to our house."

Zhao Man said happily, "If I become a neighbor with Sister Lu, won't I be able to hug Xiao Yu'er often?"

Xiao Yu'er is Xiao Jue's son. Lu Ya and Xiao Jue are handsome, so their son will naturally be good-looking. He looks like a porcelain doll. Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi are at the age when their maternal instincts are overflowing. Every time Lu Ya brings a child to the Tang Mansion, they will fight for it.

Tangning looked at Zhao Man and asked, "Do you like children so much?"

Zhao Man nodded and said, "He is chubby and I like to pinch his face the most."

Tangning leaned close to her ear and whispered something. Zhao Man's face turned pink and she looked up and said, "Two!"

……

Outside the Tang Mansion's courtyard, a carriage started slowly.

The child in Lu Ya's arms had fallen asleep. She shook her arms gently, looked at Xiao Jue, and whispered, "You want to build a house here?"

Xiao Jue nodded and said, "It's not bad to be a neighbor with that guy."

Lu Ya shook her head and said, "Then your wish will come true. Sister Zhong said that her family will go on a trip soon and won't return to Beijing for a long time..."

Xiao Jue curled his lips and said, "His Majesty is seriously ill. How can he, a prime minister, leave the capital?"

"Do you think it's you?" Lu Ya rolled her eyes at him and said, "He is your Majesty's favorite. Your Majesty treats him better than his own son. I heard that he was given several years of leave this time. How can you compare with him?" ?"

After saying that, she felt that this seemed to be a bit of a blow to Xiao Jue, and added: "Of course, His Majesty is also good to you. Among the Sixteen Guards, except Lord Tang, there is no general younger than you..."

Xiao Jue twitched his lips and laughed at himself: "Isn't it good?"

"Of course it's true. Apart from him, His Majesty's favorite is you..." Lu Ya said: "General of the Sixteenth Guards, which one is not more than twenty years older than the two of you?"

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "Why don't you go out with them to play?"

"Okay..." Lu Ya said with an excited expression on her face, "I have already wanted to go to Beijing for some fun, but you are General Ximen Guard, can you get away?"

Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "I won't go. The Ximen Guards are busy with affairs and I can't leave."

Lu Ya glared at him and said, "If you don't go, they are having fun as a family, and I will join in the fun..."

Xiao Jue's eyes wandered and he didn't speak again. The carriage entered the city gate and stopped in front of the Xiao Mansion. Lu Ya got off the carriage, looked back at Xiao Jue and said angrily: "What are you still doing sitting up there? Come down..."

Xiao Jue smiled and said: "You go back first, I will buy the candied fruits you like to eat..."

"Just let the servants do these things..." Lu Ya glanced at him, but did not refuse. She felt sweet in her heart and said softly: "Come back soon."

Xiao Jue nodded. Seeing Lu Ya walk into the mansion, the smile on his face gradually faded. He looked at the coachman and said, "Go to Prince Huai's Mansion."
