Chapter 147 Can I Marry a Wife?
Chenyu looked into Rongheqing's eyes, there was no condescending pity in them, only heartache.
After living in the abyss without sunlight for many years, when you suddenly see a little light, you can't help but want to get closer and grab it.
But she was still worried. She asked hesitantly, "Can I really do this? Jingwei's power is very strong. They are deeply involved with the royal family. Now they are in the dark and we are in the light. I may die at any time."
She was unwilling to accept this, but she also knew that her strength was too weak and she was no match for them.
It is even unknown whether Rong Heqing can compete with them.
Rong Heqing read the retreat in her eyes. She held her hand tightly and shared her warmth with her.
"Chen Yu, since you knew that Jingwei's people were so powerful, why did you come to save me? Didn't you think about the consequences before you came?"
Chen Yu paused, "I... I really haven't thought about it that much. I sent a letter to Jingwei's people a few days ago, and heard that they were going to take action today. I didn't take it seriously at first, until I heard that you were coming back today. Suddenly I realized that their target was you, so I came here immediately."
"Just because I spoke up for you before, you took such a big risk to save me." Rong Heqing smiled, "Chen Yu, you are actually very kind."
Chen Yu looked at her blankly.
She really hadn't thought too much about it, and made the choice based on impulse. Now that Rong Heqing had analyzed her so seriously, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but her heart felt lighter and her heart was beating fast.
"Don't worry. Good always prevails over evil in this world. No matter how powerful they are, they can't cover up everything. Otherwise, why would they be so sneaky and cover up? It means they are also afraid of facing the government head-on. Chenyu, do you believe that justice prevails?"
Chenyu's heart trembled, and facing Rong Heqing's burning gaze, she couldn't say a word "no".
She seemed to have some kind of magic. As long as she said it was possible, it would definitely be possible.
After a long time, Chenyu shook her head and then nodded.
Rong Heqing blinked and looked at her in confusion.
Chen Yu held her other hand and said softly, "I don't believe in justice, but I believe in you."
These words were so powerful that Rong Heqing felt that if he looked at her for one more moment, he couldn't help but be moved.
[999, what do you think is the possibility of me getting married? ]
999: [Why don’t you ask Qin Yunxian’s sword? ]
Rong Heqing: [……]
Well, pretend she didn't say it.
Everyone on the mountain came down. Tang Yiming stood outside the carriage and shouted, "Princess, the bodies have been dealt with. Shall we leave?"
Rong Heqing came back to his senses, stood up, pushed open the carriage door and went out. At first glance, he saw corpses in black all over the ground.
Although they were enemies to the death, she still felt uncomfortable when she saw so many corpses, especially when the veils were removed and the faces revealed were all so young. The oldest looked to be in his early twenties, and the youngest looked to be barely an adult, still childish, and yet they became assassins and worked for others.
Someone nearby sighed, "At such a young age, why don't you do something else? Why did you choose to go down this path of no return?"
"Yeah, that one looks about the same age as my sister, and my sister is always clamoring for candy at home."
Rong and Qing clenched their fists tightly. Jingwei deserved to die, but their master deserved to die even more.
Chen Yu stood behind her without her noticing, and whispered, "Jingwei would search for unwanted little girls or boys with excellent physiques from all over the place, but boys are a minority, so they would still choose girls first. They would bring them back when they were too young to remember and raise them together. They don't know poetry, books, etiquette, the Book of Changes, the Spring and Autumn Annals, they only know to be loyal to their masters, and everything they have now was given by their masters."
"When the master succeeds in his mission in the future, they will all have a bright future, and no one will dare to bully them again."
"It's just the same stuff of a cult." Rong Heqing closed his eyes. These people forced unified thoughts into the children before their values were formed, instilled hatred in them, and then portrayed themselves as saviors, making them dependent and trusting, and then used their feelings to achieve their own goals.
Chu Suifeng, who had been silent the whole time, asked a key question: "Why do they choose girls first? Logically speaking, boys have better physical fitness. If they are killers, boys will not be delayed by menstruation. It is not convenient for girls at this time, right?"
Chen Yu frowned and said, "It seems to be because the master prefers girls, or it may be because girls are easier to control."
She laughed at herself, "If a son is lost, there will be a big fuss. But if a daughter is lost, I'm afraid they will just be sad for a while, and forget about it if they can't find her. Besides, there are many people who were going to abandon their baby girls anyway, so if she's gone, it will just make them happy."
Chu Suifeng fell into deep thought.
Rong Heqing let out a long breath, "Let's go back to the city first."
……
This time, Jingwei mobilized almost all of its elite troops in Yundu, hoping to get rid of Rong and Qing in one fell swoop, but ended up losing both the lady and the troops.
They had a smooth journey back without encountering any ambushes.
But everyone's mood did not improve, and their losses were not small.
After returning, Rong Heqing went straight to Yundu Mansion to report to the authorities, saying that she was ambushed by assassins on the road. She asked them to deal with the bodies and then transport the bodies of the palace guards back. She paid for Tang Yiming to bury these guards with honor, and those with families would be supported under the palace in the future.
People from Marquis Luyang's mansion were also looking for Chenyu. Rong Heqing asked Chu Suifeng to go to Marquis Luyang's mansion and tell them that Chenyu was a key witness and she wanted to ensure her safety, so she would stay in the palace temporarily during this period of time.
Su Yunzhi couldn't sit still and wanted to come and take a look, but was stopped by Chu Suifeng. Marquis Luyang and his wife were dissatisfied with Rong Heqing's overbearing behavior and wanted to say something, but Chu Suifeng looked at them coldly and said, "The princess will report this matter to His Majesty. His Majesty will have the final say on how to deal with it. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to His Majesty."
Your Majesty is just right, how dare they seek death over the matter of a concubine?
The group could only hold their anger and watch Chu Suifeng swagger away.
Rong Heqing was not idle either. He went back home to take a bath, change into clean clothes, and immediately went to the palace to pay his respects to the emperor.
Before leaving, she went to Meigu.
When she came out, she called Tang Yiming and Yuan Jin, "Tang Yiming, follow me into the palace, Yuan Jin——"
Rong Heqing looked at Yuan Jin deeply and whispered, "If we don't come out soon, you should take the prince's token and find the loyal and brave marquis and ask him to bring people into the palace."
Yuan Jin was shocked, "Does the princess suspect that someone in the palace wants to attack you?"
Rong Heqing nodded, his expression solemn but with a hint of determination to go all out.
"They set up a trap to make me pray for blessings, so that they could kill me on the way. It's obvious that they've made a desperate move. If this plan fails, they will definitely be even more anxious. They might even make a fuss about Your Majesty. My future is uncertain, so I need to prepare for the worst."
