Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chapter 490 Complete Surrender

King Xiaoyao and his son surrendered completely.

King Xiaoyao even told Emperor Chongzhao that his title was different from that of his brothers and that he could not bear it, so he asked Emperor Chongzhao to change his title.

Emperor Chongzhao smiled and said, "This was specially given to you by my father. Now you want to change it and make him angry again."

“But ever since I got this title, I have never had a day of leisure.

"Now that my royal brother is willing to forgive me, teach me and cultivate me, I naturally want to ask my royal brother for a title bestowed upon me personally!"

King Xiaoyao was very persistent.

——He almost said that the title bestowed by the retired emperor was unlucky.

Emperor Chongzhao understood what he meant, chuckled, and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Tao Ge'er, who had eaten three meals with his uncle in the past seven days, studied the other's expression carefully and curiously.

After he left, he looked up and asked Emperor Chongzhao in confusion: "Father, why does Uncle Nineteen act like a good guy sometimes and a bad guy sometimes?"

Emperor Chongzhao laughed and patted his head: "When did he become a bad guy?"

"That's right, whenever Uncle Nineteen mentions anything related to my grandfather, he becomes like a bad guy...

"Yeah, that's right, that's right..." Tao Ge'er thought hard for a long time before he figured out how to compare it. "It looks like Chen Duo just finished trying a case."

Emperor Chongzhao believes in long-term victory.

Chang Ying thought for a moment and asked softly, "Your Highness, do you want to say that King Xiaoyao had murderous intent in his eyes at that time?"

"Murderous intent...yes, yes, yes!" Tao Ge'er was confused for a moment, then immediately reacted and nodded repeatedly, "It's the kind of look that looks like he wants to kill someone!"

Emperor Chongzhao gently touched Tao Ge'er's head again and whispered, "Only Tao Ge'er, Father, and Chang Ying need to know about this matter. There is no need to tell a fourth person."

Tao Ge'er nodded obediently, but couldn't help asking: "Then Father, is Uncle Nineteen still a good person in this state?"

"There is a popular saying, 'Judging by deeds, not by heart; judging by heart, no one is perfect.'"

Emperor Chongzhao patiently taught his son, "Don't worry about what he thinks, just watch what he does.

“Your uncle was originally of noble status, but because he was filial to Concubine Song, he was controlled by a slave for many years. He didn’t have enough food or sleep, and his health was almost ruined.

"You see, if he was really a bad man, he would have only to find an opportunity to expose the evil deeds of the wet nurse to others, and he would have a good life.

"But if that were the case, Concubine Song would definitely be killed by the accomplices of that evil wet nurse.

"He sacrificed himself for five or six years to be filial to his mother.

"Brother Tao, Father didn't say that we can ignore the greater good and the greater good just to be filial to our parents. That would be foolish filial piety.

"But your uncle Nineteenth does this better than many people in the world.

"This is enough."

Tao Ge nodded as if he understood, then pondered for a while and said:

“Father, isn’t it true that if someone had good intentions but accidentally harmed someone?

"So this kindness will also be punished?"

Emperor Chongzhao nodded and then shook his head: "Then this person is not punished for his kindness, but for his behavior of harming others."

Tao Geer understood everything this time, and bowed to Emperor Chongzhao in a formal manner: "Your son has learned your lesson."

"Yes." Emperor Chongzhao patted his head again and instructed Changying, "You still have to pay attention to my brother's food, clothing, housing and transportation on a daily basis.

"In this weather, he can't walk around bareheaded anymore, especially in the morning and evening, he has to wear a hat."

Chang Ying smiled and said, "In fact, Manager Jing has already prepared everything.

"But now he has started to take me to practice boxing and martial arts. I think he is deliberately waiting to see how far my brother can last."

In this case, Emperor Chongzhao had no choice but to let go, but he couldn't bear to part with his son, so he said stubbornly:

"It is good for boys to exercise more. I am happy to see it happen. I have nothing to say.

"But you should tell Jing Quan to be more careful with the Queen. If she finds out, even if there are ten Jing Quans, let alone one, she won't be able to go crazy."

Chang Ying agreed with a smile, and then said: "Now Old Xia has changed Invesco back.

"If he wants to, he can make the dead alive.

"With him as a cover, the Queen will not do anything to Jing Quan.

"What's most important is that our brother Tao can get healthy. That's more important than anything else!"

Emperor Chongzhao snorted, but didn't want to complain in front of Tao Ge'er, so he let his son leave first, and then said sarcastically:

"Our eunuch Xia used to be a very upright person, always speaking his mind, not hiding anything, and not being euphemistic.

"I have been following the Imperial Concubine for three years. When I left Yinyu Palace, I learned how to flatter and fawn on her. I was greedy and silent, hiding without a trace!"

Chang Ying laughed: "If that's the case, then Fugui'er is the same!"

"So the servants under your Imperial Concubine's rule have learned everything from her stingy, greedy, and two-faced nature!

"You should stay away from the imperial concubine in the future, and don't get infected with these bad habits!" Emperor Chongzhao grumbled again in dissatisfaction.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "How's the prince's suit?"

"The imperial physician took a look the other day and said he would need to rest for another two months." Chang Ying said softly, and laughed.

"The Princess of Wuling was very angry. She messed up the business of the Beifu. I heard that even the dowry shop of Princess Beijing was not spared."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhao suddenly felt reluctant to let it go.

The Rong and Ning mansions, the Beijing Prince's mansion, and the Jinling Zhen family were about to be confiscated into the national treasury; but before that, the Wang family had passed it over first.

That’s all the court’s money!

Chang Ying knew what he meant when he saw the pain on his face. He thought for a moment and whispered:

"Your Majesty, now that we have the testimony of Prince Xiaoyao and Concubine Song, can Jinling take action?"

"Over in Nanjing..." Emperor Chongzhao seemed to be thinking about something.

Chang Ying looked at him again and whispered, "Didn't you report this to the Supreme last time?"

"Yes." Emperor Chongzhao nodded slowly.

The emperor's reply was also very quick. It was obvious that he was extremely angry. A line of large characters was written with iron strokes and silver hooks, almost turning into a sharp sword rushing out of the paper to kill people:

"You decide! Don't tolerate evil!"

Emperor Chongzhao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Send it to Lin Ruhai."

Changying bowed and agreed, then left quickly.

Yinyu Palace.

Life seemed to be going back to normal, but Wang Xifeng had already put on her best efforts, keeping Zhai County Lady, Lin Daiyu and He Ke tightly in Yinyu Hall;

On the one hand, Wu Jin was allowed to run around and collect information from all over the palace. On the other hand, he also sent out the tits and crows to pay attention to the things outside the palace:

"The Prince of Beijing's Mansion won't really keep him under house arrest quietly and keep a close watch on him!

"As for the royal family, I'm afraid they will also take action soon!"
