Concubine Cui pondered over this sentence, and then raised her head directly, "Let's not talk about others, let's talk about yourself, aren't you worried?"
The Queen Mother smiled slightly, holding a cup of tea, "Would you doubt your own son? Ajie called me mother and grew up by my side. If I didn't trust him, I would have intervened long ago."
Concubine Cui nodded, "Yes, I also feel that among the children of the late emperor, few are willing to fight for power and profit. But now... Oh, let's not talk about it."
After Murong Jie left the palace, he went directly to Prince Liang's Mansion.
The King of Liang was already drunk, so Murong Jie grabbed him, dragged him out, and threw him directly into the lake.
The people in the palace were horrified, but Murong Jie's face was furious and no one dared to step forward. They could only watch their own prince struggling hard in the water.
King Liang swallowed a few mouthfuls of lake water and regained consciousness.
Murong Jie ordered his men to fish him out and throw him into the pavilion. A Jin hurriedly took a towel to dry his hair.
"Get out of here!" Murong Jie was still furious and ordered everyone to leave.
Everyone had never seen Murong Jie so angry before. Seeing that he looked as ferocious as if he wanted to eat someone, no one dared to provoke him and quickly retreated.
Prince Liang lay on the ground, not wanting to get up. He lazily put his hands under his head and asked casually, "Why is the emperor so angry?"
Murong Jie said angrily: "Look at you, look at how decadent you are. Can't you have a bottom line? Are you going to wrong yourself like this? You might as well die if you live such a pathetic life."
"Haha, look at you being angry so seriously, as if you are so serious. Everyone is the same, you and I are the same, do you know?" King Liang laughed.
"Get up!" Murong Jie grabbed his collar and pulled him up, "What the hell are you talking about? How are you similar to me?"
"What's the difference?" Liang Wang looked at him sideways, drunkenly, "Did you resist? You almost died at the hands of the noble concubine, did you resist? What did you say?"
Murong Jie's eyes were cold. "At least, I know how to draw a line between myself and her, at least I know how to be on guard against her, at least I know how to warn her. What about you? You agreed to everything. You don't even want to treat your leg, you don't want the woman you like, and you even have to compromise on your marriage!"
"Compromise if you want to, what's the big deal? I've been compromising all my life, and this time won't make a difference, really not this time!" Liang Wang stretched out his hand, waved it in front of him, and laughed again, "Xia Zian is different from Yi'er. Yi'er is a simple-minded girl who can't even protect herself. Xia Zian has the ability to protect herself. At least she knows that she will fight back if she is harmed by others. What does that silly girl know? She will be sold to others to count silver."
He stretched out his hand to hold Murong Jie's shoulder and said inaudibly, "This is the only thing I can do for her. I want her to not get hurt and live a simple life. How many people who get involved in the royal family will have a good ending?"
There was an indescribable hollowness in his voice. He had already exhausted all his energy and didn't want to fight anymore.
If you can fight, you can fight when he is hurt.
She will never understand the pain in his heart. After the accident, she didn't even blame that man. She said so nicely. If father knew about this, mother would lose him. Your injury is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. Your brother is ignorant, are you also ignorant
Then, for many years, she convinced herself that his injury was an accident, and she silenced all the palace people who were there that day, and she gradually came to regard his injury as an accident.
She knew it clearly!
He is the elder brother, he should protect his younger brother and give him everything he has. Isn’t she satisfied
Murong Jie let him go and said in a softer voice, "I can order someone to protect Yi'er."
"Was it useful?" Prince Liang laughed, his laugh was very ironic, "You also protected Xia Zian, but didn't she almost die after all these times? If she was a little less clever, she would not be your princess now. Besides, do you think she is safe now? No, uncle, how long can you protect her? This palace or this royal family are full of dangers. You can't protect anyone for a lifetime. All you can do is compromise."
He sat down slowly, holding his head in his hands. "Let's just forget it. It doesn't matter who I marry. I was willing to marry Xia Wan'er before. This is my destiny. Why bother with so much trouble? If I continue to struggle, I will lose more."
Murong Jie knew that he was completely heartbroken. How could he be so fragile in the past
His decadence reflects the queen's selfishness and favoritism.
"I don't care who you marry, but Zi'an said your leg can be cured, and I hope you will listen to him." Murong Jie said.
King Liang raised his head and said, "No, there is no need for that. Miss Lin should marry a cripple."
If he can't get the person he wants, why bother to improve himself? It's fine as it is.
At least, with a disabled body, I can convince myself to compromise for the rest of my life.
Murong Jie looked very disappointed. He shook his head and said, "This is not up to you!"
He was not an expert at persuading people, and now King Liang would not listen to anything, so he could only use his status as the emperor's uncle to pressure him.
"I cured her leg, and she became more worried. If she worries, I will be the one who suffers. Why bother? Why bother!" He waved his hands and stared at Murong Jie blankly, his mind seemed to be wandering. "I don't want to make any more trouble. I will live quietly in the mansion and not cause any trouble. Is that okay?"
The cruelest thing is that you have to face the cruelty of your closest person. All you can do is to stay away and not let her hurt you again.
If possible, he even hopes to leave the capital.
But, in the name of love, she bound him.
He had suggested before that he wanted to leave the capital and become a prince somewhere to live a carefree life, but she said she couldn't bear to leave him and they only had two sons, both of whom wanted to stay by her side.
"Go back, uncle. It's not worth it for me!" King Liang stumbled into the house.
Murong Jie's shoulders slowly collapsed. If even he had given up, then no matter how much others did, it would be of no use.
The Empress Dowager summoned Prince Liang to the palace the next day.
Prince Liang was dressed very neatly and tidy. The Empress Dowager looked at this handsome grandson with love from the bottom of her heart.
"Your mother came to tell me yesterday that you wanted to marry Miss Lin, is that right?" The Empress Dowager pulled him to sit next to her and asked softly.
Prince Liang nodded, "Yes, does the Empress Dowager agree?"
The Queen Mother looked at him and said, "To be honest, I don't like her very much. Would you consider someone else? Or have you already fallen in love with her?"
Prince Liang smiled faintly, "Deeply in love? Yes, I have been deeply in love for a long time, but I was afraid that my mother and the Empress Dowager would object, so I dare not say it."
The Empress Dowager did not believe the Queen's words at first, but when she heard Prince Liang say this, she could not help but sigh quietly, "If you like it, how could the Imperial Grandmother not fulfill your wish? You have always known that the Imperial Grandmother loves you. Not to mention marrying you, even the stars in the sky, the Imperial Grandmother is willing to pick them for you."
