Chapter 722 Return to Beijing

"If you care, you will be confused. In fact, at this time, who has time to care about me?" Zhao Ruxi had no choice but to overturn her previous rhetoric and try to persuade Xiao Lingyan from another angle.

"If the plot still goes as it was, the third prince is planning a big conspiracy now. The prince, second and fourth princes have to deal with him and have no time to take care of me. The most important thing is that the second prince is blocking the way, and they don't even think about it.

I have to target you. If I don’t kill the second prince, it’s useless to just target you. You don’t matter, and I can’t get into their eyes. If I have time, I think they can make things difficult for me. But now at this juncture

, they really don’t care about me.”

"But when I go back, not only you, but also the emperor will be protected. If the emperor dies, no matter who becomes the emperor, we will all have to suffer. Even if the prince and several princes are trying to die, you come to power, clean up the mess, and appease the ministers

, handle government affairs, deal with foreign enemies, don't be overwhelmed? Even if it is not for us, but for the people of the world, it is best to be safe. We have died once anyway, so what if we die again? We are still cannon fodder after passing through.

Now it's just a gamble, it's really no big deal."

Seeing that Zhao Ruxi had made up her mind, Xiao Lingyan was not a person who only cared about the love of his children and ignored the people of the world, so he finally agreed to her return to Beijing.

"Then I'll pick you up in a few days," he said.

Zhao Ruxi shook her head: "No need. Just ask the emperor to send someone to pick me up. If you come to pick me up, I'm afraid someone will try to catch us both." She warned again, "Although there are two princes blocking the way, we can get rid of one of them.

Yes. The third prince is not far away from going crazy now, and it really cannot be inferred by common sense. You'd better be careful, don't go out of the city again in the near future, and just stay in Prince Qi's Mansion and say you're busy preparing for the wedding."

Xiao Lingyan also knew that things were different now. Some time ago, the prince and the third prince had nothing to do and wanted to make people unhappy, so they wanted to embarrass Zhao Ruxi. Now what they want to get rid of most is the other party and the second, fourth and fifth princes, and

Not Zhao Ruxi. If he came to pick up Zhao Ruxi, he would put Zhao Ruxi in danger.

He didn't insist anymore, and returned to Beijing that night, reported to the emperor, and asked him to help.

Considering that Zhao Ruxi had been assassinated before, this request was reasonable, and the emperor sent twenty imperial guards to escort Zhao Ruxi back to Beijing.

Zhao Ruxi originally didn't want to take Mrs. Zhu back to Beijing, so she kept urging her to go to Gusu to celebrate the New Year, saying that without her, her grandmother wouldn't feel comfortable celebrating the New Year.

But how could Mrs. Zhu be willing to abandon her daughter and go back to Beijing alone to guard that big house? Go to Gusu to accompany her mother-in-law, husband, and son? Even if she wanted to, the people who came to Gusu would not agree.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for life? She knew that in the eyes of the old lady, Zhao Ruxi, the future princess, was more important than her most beloved son and grandson combined.

Sure enough, she asked someone to take the letter to Suzhou for questioning? Not only did the old lady agree with her not to go to Gusu, but she also planned to take her grandson back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

As for the son Zhao Yuanxun, just ignore it? Who said he is not as important as his granddaughter?

Zhao Ruxi couldn't convince her mother and grandmother? And she couldn't tell the truth, so she had to let them return to Beijing.

The old lady took Zhao Jingtai to Nanyang to stay for a few nights. When the guards sent by the emperor arrived, the group of people returned to Beijing all the way.

People are far away from each other. When the family was not separated, Zhao Yuanliang had a cold relationship with his aunt. He had a normal relationship with Dafang. But now that the family was separated? The Dafang had all disappeared, and he felt that he had no support in his heart. He was extremely

I miss my aunt, brother and sister-in-law.

Therefore, when the old lady, Mrs. Zhu, and Zhao Ruxi returned to Beijing, not only the third bedroom was happy, but the second bedroom was also happy. Zhao Yuanliang and his two sons were waiting at the city gate early, and sent the three generations back to the Suiping residence.

"Oh, I'm finally home." The old lady sat down at her usual seat and looked at the familiar house with emotion.

"Congratulations, madam." Mrs. Su said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that a princess would be born in our family."

"Haha, isn't it? That kid is so promising." The old lady laughed.

In the past, she and the Su family didn't deal with each other at all? They couldn't stand each other. Then Zhao Yuankun died? The Su family often brought her children to pay her respects? She intended to flatter the old lady, and the old lady also sympathized with her. It was not easy for the widow to raise two children, and it was not easy.

After returning to the previous coldness, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become harmonious.

After returning to the house, Mrs. Zhu and Zhao Ruxi went back to their courtyard to take a bath and rest. Mrs. Su stayed at the old lady's place to serve her mother-in-law.

She asked the maid to wait on the old lady to take a bath. She prepared a table of food and sent it to Mrs. Zhu. Zhao Ruxi and Zhao Jingtai sat at the table and served the old lady.

The old lady asked about the situation in the capital, and Mrs. Su said that she was familiar with people's marriages, and then said: "There are several families who have committed unknown crimes. Some have been dismissed from their posts, and some have their homes raided. Recently, I always feel that there is some chaos in the capital."

"

As a stay-at-home woman and a widow, she rarely interacts with other people and doesn't care about the outside world. If she hadn't gone back to her parents' home and listened to her father and brother talking about it, she wouldn't have known about these things. At this moment, she was just talking.

One word.

The old lady was the same as Su before. But after Zhao Ruxi repeatedly mentioned it, she now has some political sensitivity. When she heard Su's words, her heart skipped a beat. She secretly remembered it in her heart and planned to ask Zhao Ruxi when she was free.

Su's topic returned to the family's shortcomings: "The fourth and sixth girls in the second room have secretly gone to be concubines. The sixth girl is okay. She has not come back since she entered Prince Jingping's palace, and she has not sent anyone back.

Begging for something. The fourth girl, on the other hand, shamelessly came back to ask for dowry from her father and Brother Li. The second uncle and Brother Li were very angry, but they still gave some."

"That girl is shameless. Now that you are back, Sister Xi is back to get married. She will definitely come to your door in two days to catch the autumn breeze."

The old lady frowned.

"She went to be a concubine and brought great disgrace to our Zhao family, but she still has the nerve to come back and ask for something. I will have someone beat her out with a big stick. I will also give her a dowry. She will get used to it."

"No." Su Shi agreed, "Second uncle is a spoiled brat, and Li Ge'er is still young after all. Men also want to lose face and can't lose face to refuse, so why don't we just let her make trouble? If you don't get used to it.

If I keep her in mind, she won’t dare to come to my door.”

Zhao Rurui had just come to her door, probably wanting to ask for something from her, but Su asked the concierge to stop her and not even let her in.

Mrs. Su felt that Zhao Rurui had brought shame to the family by being a concubine. When her daughter grew up and married, she would have two cousins ​​who were concubines, and they would both be despised. So she hated Zhao Rurui so much, how could she do it again?
