"You, you...are you going to disobey His Majesty?" Nanny Gong was really scared.

She had made it very clear that the emperor probably wanted to keep Yun Hao and continue fishing.

However, the Madam's action was obviously to get rid of Yun Hao before meeting the Emperor!

"Madam Gong, you are wrong." Rong Enqing said calmly, "The emperor has summoned me to see him now. Can you explain the reason?"

Madam Gong shook her head, "No."

"Did His Majesty clearly say that Yun Hao cannot die?"

"Of course not."

"That's it?" Rong Enqing didn't care. "The emperor didn't say Yun Hao must be kept alive anyway, so why can't I deal with him?"

This is clearly sophistry!

The corners of Gong Ma's mouth twitched, but she couldn't help but persuade him again, "Madam, Yun Zhushi is an official appointed by the court after all. It is really inappropriate for you to execute him directly. It is better to wait until tomorrow to see the emperor and let the emperor make the decision."

Rong Enqing's eyes were sharp. "Madame Gong, I'm not telling you so much to discuss it with you. It's just out of respect for you. Since you don't want to, I won't force you."

As he said this, he told Xiu Zhang who was standing beside him, "Go and get the poison."

Xiu Zhang looked at Madam Gong and said, "Yes."

Watching Xiu Zhang leaving, Madam Gong said anxiously, "Madam, you will hurt Xiu Zhang by doing this!"

Rong Enqing closed his eyes and remained silent.

She knew that what she was doing would not benefit anyone, but she didn't want to endure it anymore.

Soon, Xiu Zhang came back with a small white porcelain bottle.

"Xiu Zhang! Do you know what you are doing?" Nanny Gong shouted, trying to bring Xiu Zhang back to his senses.

But Xiu Zhang hesitated slightly and handed the white porcelain bottle to Rong Enqing.

After getting the poison, Rong Enqing ordered someone to find Song and "ask the second wife to come to Duiyue Pavilion."

He took Xiu Zhang and walked quickly to Duiyue Pavilion.

Duiyue Pavilion is the three-story attic that was originally planned to be renovated and then incorporated into Baishou Hall.

It was only because of the death in the underground ice cellar of Duiyue Pavilion, and the speculation of her and Li Guanjia, that Duiyue Pavilion had been left untouched. The expansion of Baishou Hall had also come to a standstill.

Because of Concubine Liang's threat, the matter of the ice cellar will be explored again after the New Year. Even if we have to dig thirty feet underground, we must come up with an explanation.

However, now, Jiang and Yun Hao, mother and son, are settled here by Rong Enqing.

Because someone died there and because it is far away from the courtyards where people live, it is very quiet.

Jiang was placed on the second floor, and Yun Hao was locked up on the third floor. As for the first floor, that was where Doctor Hu and the servants who were responsible for taking care of them lived.

Rong Enqing was originally planning to go straight to the third floor, but he turned on the second floor and went to the house where Jiang was staying temporarily.

It was getting dark and the room was dim. Rong Enqing stood at the door and could not see clearly what was going on in the room. He could only vaguely see the bulge on the bed.

At this moment, the people in the room seemed to have discovered Rong Enqing.

The figure on the bed moved, followed by a gasp of pain.

After a moment, as if recognizing Rong Enqing at the door, Jiang's familiar curse came from the bed.

"Rong, you will not have a good death! I curse you to have no descendants! Do you think you have won just because you broke my legs and imprisoned Yun Hao? You are dreaming!

"Soon the Yang family and the Zhenguo Mansion will find out that Yun Hao is missing. By then, you're done! How dare you kidnap and imprison an official of the imperial court? Do you think you can still survive?

"Rong, I'm waiting to see how you die without a burial place!"

Rong Enqing didn't want to pay attention and turned to leave. After thinking for a while, he walked back into the house.

Refusing Xiu Zhang's permission to follow her, she walked to the bedside by herself. Looking at the hatred and murderous intent bursting out of Jiang's bloodshot eyes, she suddenly smiled, took out the white porcelain bottle containing the deadly poison from her bosom, and put it in front of Jiang's eyes, "Does it look familiar?"

Jiang's eyes narrowed.

Rong Enqing then said, "It is said that this bottle of poison will kill you instantly if it enters your stomach. I don't know if it is true or not."

Jiang's face changed, and she looked panicked. "You, what do you want to do?"

Jiang subconsciously shrank back, trying to distance herself from Rong Enqing, but accidentally moved her injured legs, causing her to break out in a cold sweat due to the pain.

Rong Enqing smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, this is not prepared for you."

Just when Jiang was relieved, she leaned over and whispered in Jiang’s ear, “This is for Yun Hao.

"I originally wanted Yun Ye to enjoy the same way Wang and Song died before. First they got sick, then they got chronically poisoned, their bodies became weak, and finally they died naturally.

“It’s a pity that the old man doesn’t want Yun Hao to live that long!

"I'll go give him a ride right now."

After saying that, Rong Enqing turned and walked out.

"No! How dare you? Rong, you can't do this! Rong, come back! If I want to kill you, kill me! Don't kill my son!

"For the past few decades, I have always been the one who wanted to compete with you, I wanted to rob you, if you want to hate me, then hate me, if you want to kill me, then kill me! All of this has nothing to do with Yun Hao!

"I was the one who killed Wang. I was also the one who suggested killing Song! Yun Hao knew nothing! He is innocent! You can't kill him!

"Rong, Yunhao said that he is the Marquis' biological son! I beg you to forgive him for the Marquis' sake!

"Rong, no, Madam! I beg you, please spare Yun Hao! I am willing to die for him!..."

Frightened, panicked, nervous and uneasy, Jiang was really scared at this moment and completely surrendered.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

There was a loud "thump" sound behind him. Without looking back, Rong Enqing knew that it must be Jiang who fell off the bed.

But she still left without looking back.

She could have kept it a secret from Jiang, just like she had planned before, letting Yunhao slowly "die of illness" over two months, and then telling Jiang that Yunhao was dead six months later.

But now, plans have changed.

Yun Hao was going to die soon, so there was no need for Jiang to stay.

Just then, Song arrived.

After hearing what Jiang said, Song looked at Rong Enqing in confusion, "Mother?"

"It's okay." Rong Enqing waved his hand, "Let's go to the third floor."

In a room on the third floor, Yun Hao was standing by the attic window, looking into the distance.

He didn't even turn his head when he heard the door open.

Rong Enqing stood at the door and waved to the servants: "Go in and subdue the man."

Several servants followed the order and went into the house.

But before he could make a move, Yun Hao turned around, looked at Rong Enqing and said, "No need. I know you are here to send me off. Don't worry, I won't resist. Haha, after all, resistance is useless, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the four martial arts servants who had entered the house, the skilled Xiu Zhang, and the other four servants who were protecting Rong Enqing and had not entered the house. With so many people around, he had no room to resist at all.

Seeing this, Rong Enqing nodded, and the four servants stood by the wall.
