"Your Majesty." Cheng Zheng saluted. When he was in the carriage just now, he had already noticed someone following them. He thought it was someone sent by Lu Yaoyao, but he didn't expect it to be Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong's face was a little gloomy, and he gave Cheng Zheng a cold look, "That's Rao'er's carriage."
"It's the eldest princess's carriage." Cheng Zheng replied in a low voice, without the slightest bit of guilt. Anyway, Zhao Yong should have seen it all, and it doesn't make sense for him to cover up any more.
"You are not afraid of being ashamed at all." Zhao Yong snorted coldly. He was both angry and helpless towards Cheng Zheng. This is the Great General of the Yuan Kingdom he carried with him, and now he is his right arm. , if he wasn't the younger brother of the first queen, he would naturally be willing to marry Rao'er to him, but he is still the uncle of the country now! Even though he has no blood relationship with Rao'er, but his identity is there, he really doesn't think about himself or Rao'er at all.
Cheng Zheng smiled faintly, "I'm not afraid of shame."
"Have you ever thought that Rao'er is your niece?" Zhao Yong asked coldly, "You won't let the old man beat you to death?"
"If the emperor agrees, I can remove my name from the Cheng family tree immediately." Cheng Zheng said with a flat face. He didn't care about being a member of the Cheng family.
Zhao Yong sneered, "What if I don't agree?"
"Then I'll just wait." Cheng Zheng said, he has plenty of time, as long as Zhao Rao is not allowed to marry, it's fine, but even if Zhao Yong wants to give her a marriage, it doesn't matter, he can still let her be his only woman.
"Are you waiting for me to die?" Zhao Yong asked angrily.
"Your Majesty, how could I think so?" Cheng Zheng said in a low voice.
Zhao Yong took a deep breath, thinking that he should have prevented Rao'er from looking for Cheng Zheng two years ago, this wolf in sheep's clothing! After so many years of not getting married, he thought he was not interested in female sex, but who knew that he fell in love with Rao'er.
"I should execute you." Zhao Yong said through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, you can protect Rao'er for the rest of your life only if you have ministers around." Cheng Zheng was not afraid of death, he was just afraid that if he died, no one would be able to protect Zhao Rao.
As long as Zhao Yong passed away, no matter if it was the Second Prince or the First Prince ascending the throne, they would not tolerate Zhao Rao.
Zhao Yong didn't say anything, because he knew very well that what Cheng Zheng said was the truth, otherwise he wouldn't have brought Zhao Rao to the Yuan Kingdom, but he just wanted to remind the two sons that no matter who they ascend the throne in the future, Zhao Rao The identity of the eldest princess will not be affected.
Cheng Zheng also didn't want to force Zhao Yong to immediately agree with him and Zhao Rao, "Your Majesty, Rao'er just met Lu Shuang'er in the palace."
"What? Who brought her to see Lu Shuang'er?" Zhao Yong's first thought was the same as Cheng Zheng's. If there was no one to guide Cheng Zheng, it would be impossible for Cheng Zheng to meet Lu Shuang'er. That was the imperial palace of the Yuan Kingdom, not to mention Lu Yaoyao. Everyone around him is capable, and Mo Rongzhan lives in the palace. Zhao Rao, a princess of Qi who doesn't know martial arts, is it so easy to find Lu Shuang'er
"Rao'er said that he didn't see anyone else, it seems that he didn't even see many palace people." Cheng Zheng felt that something was wrong, but now he couldn't go back to the palace to find out the truth, anyway, now Rao'er has left the palace safely up.
"What did Lu Shuang'er tell Rao'er?" Zhao Yong asked coldly.
Cheng Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Yong, "Tell me the cause of the former queen's death."
Zhao Yong's face suddenly sank, he looked at Cheng Zheng coldly, "Is it related to Concubine De?"
"Yes." Cheng Zheng didn't hide anything.
"I know that Rao'er has always disliked Concubine De." Zhao Yong's face was condensed. What Lu Shuang'er said may not be true. What if she was used to want Zhao Rao to deal with Concubine De and the Second Prince
Cheng Zheng said flatly, "That's why Rao'er didn't want to tell you, Your Majesty, have you ever believed her?"
"How could I not trust my daughter?" Zhao Yong was slightly angry, he just didn't want Zhao Rao to be used.
"Your Majesty, Rao'er is your daughter, not a courtier, and you don't have to have evidence to believe someone who protected her." Cheng Zheng said in a low voice, "I promised her that I will find out the truth for her."
Zhao Yong took a deep look at him. He knew the grievances between Cheng Zheng and the late empress. Although he was adopted by the Cheng family, he didn't seem to have any feelings for the Cheng family, especially with the first empress. The first empress hated the adopted one. Brother, it seems that Mrs. Cheng died of illness because of Cheng Zheng.
He knew that Cheng Zheng would definitely not be biased.
"Rao'er tells you everything, but refuses to tell me?" Zhao Yong agreed in his heart that Cheng Zheng should investigate, but for her daughter to trust Cheng Zheng and not him, is he so unworthy in her eyes? trust
He is still her father.
"Even if Rao'er told you, you only doubted her words first, and didn't feel sorry for her." Cheng Zheng said flatly.
Zhao Yong stared at Cheng Zheng coldly, "You made Rao'er like you so quickly?"
"Sooner or later, she will like Chen." Cheng Zheng grinned, "There is no woman who doesn't like Chen."
"I warn you, if Rao'er is unwilling, you are not allowed to force her." Zhao Yong said with a frown.
Cheng Zheng respectfully said yes.
Zhao Yong felt annoyed when he saw him, "Get lost!"
As he got older and his health deteriorated year after year, Zhao Yong wanted to be closer to his children, but the two sons were not mature, and the only eldest daughter who made him feel relieved was unwilling to get close to him. depressed.
Watching Cheng Zheng leave, Zhao Yongcai snorted heavily.
"Your Majesty." Song Hongao came out from the shadows.
"Let me keep an eye on him, don't let him mess with Rao'er." Zhao Yong said coldly.
Song Hongao smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, I can't protect the princess personally. Even if Marquis An Ning wants to mess around, he can't be in front of others..."
Zhao Yong stared at what he hadn't finished speaking.
"Do you think what Lu Shuang'er said is credible?" Zhao Yong asked.
The emperor is becoming more and more merciful. If it was before, he would have immediately arrested Concubine De and questioned her, "Is it true or not? The Marquis of An Ning will find out when he finds out."
"I can't kill Cheng Zheng." Zhao Yong sighed, not only can't kill him, but also let him have the military power, "After I am great, only he can protect Rao'er."
Song Hongao called out in a low voice, "Hasn't your illness improved?"
Zhao Yong shook his head and did not speak.
"Your Majesty..." Song Hongao looked at Zhao Yong hesitantly.
"What do you want to say?" Zhao Yong asked lightly, walking slowly on the moonlit road, the moonlight shone on his slender figure on the ground, pulling away the long shadow, he looked a little lonely.
Song Hongao said in a low voice, "I'm just curious, why did you bring the eldest princess to the founding ceremony of Concubine Tian."
Zhao Yong looked at the moonlight, "Yuan Kingdom has Tianfei, Jin Kingdom has Mo Rongzhan, Beiming Kingdom has Beitang Yu... Our Qi Kingdom, after a few years, who can compete with them?"
No! Then the law of the jungle can only become the second Xiliang.
This is the future that makes him sad whenever he thinks about it.
