[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Housekeeper Li discovered the gold in the storehouse in the morning, and Emperor Taihe got the news at noon. He clapped his hands and laughed in the imperial study, shouting: "God helps me! God helps me!"

Liu Xin was also happy for Emperor Taihe and immediately echoed, "Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, and it is the destiny of heaven! That's why Madam Rong didn't even want her own son, but was loyal to Your Majesty."

"Rong is a smart person!" Emperor Taihe said with a smile, "She can see the situation clearly and knows how to make choices. Most importantly, she knows what she wants!"

"Forgive my stupidity. I don't know what Madam Rong wants?" Liu Xin looked at Emperor Taihe in confusion.

Emperor Taihe smiled and said, "What she wants is to stay alive."

"So simple?" Liu Xin was a little unconvinced.

"No, it's not that simple. She wants to live, and she also wants everyone around her to live!" Emperor Taihe explained: "You don't know what the crime of treason is, do you?"

Liu Xin said quickly: "Confiscate the property and exterminate the clan."

"Yes. Anyone who participated in the rebellion will be exterminated along with his entire clan. No matter whether they are male or female, old or young, no one will be allowed to live."

"So, Madam Rong surrendered to His Majesty in order to seek a way out for herself and her descendants?"

"Yes."

"Then, what does His Majesty mean..." Liu Xin asked tentatively.

Emperor Taihe hesitated for a moment, "If Rong can really help me capture Yun Yi, then I can save her life, what's the problem?"

Liu Xin quickly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, be merciful!"

Emperor Taihe did not continue the topic and ordered Liu Xin: "Send a message to Rong to come to the palace tomorrow. I want to ask about the treasure in person."

"Your Majesty, when Madam Rong sent someone to deliver the message to the palace, she said that she would bring Miss Yun San to the palace to see Princess Yue'er tomorrow. I would like to ask Your Majesty if we can meet you tomorrow."

"Have someone tell her to come see me tomorrow after court."

"Yes. I will send someone to pass on the message right away."

After getting Emperor Taihe's approval, Rong Enqing felt a little relieved.

She wanted to report the situation of the gold to Emperor Taihe in person, and let him find a way to take the gold away. By the way, she also wanted to explain in person the matter of the fake treasure under the Duiyue Pavilion.

Although the real treasure has been found, the matter of the fake treasure seems insignificant. But there is no harm in explaining it, right?

With the merit of presenting the treasure, Rong Enqing felt that she and Yun Luo and others were one step closer to their goal of survival.

Thinking of this, Rong Enqing was in a good mood the whole afternoon, just waiting to go to the palace tomorrow morning to ask for credit in person.

However, her good mood only lasted until the evening.

Because Yun Hong is here.

"What are you doing here?" Rong Enqing frowned subconsciously and asked in an unhappy tone.

Yun Hong narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Mother, don't you want to see me?"

"Oh, if I remember correctly, we have already separated. If you have something to do, shouldn't you go to Jiang? Why are you looking for me?"

Rong Enqing said sarcastically, "Also, since the separation, you have changed your name to Madam. Why did you suddenly change your name again?"

Rong Enqing's tone was very bad, but it was natural for him to speak to Yun Hao in such a tone.

For a moment, Yun Hong didn't know whether Rong Enqing was talking to him like that on purpose or was helping him maintain his fake identity.

But there is one thing Yun Hong can be sure of, that is Rong Enqing is indeed reminding him to pay attention to details, such as the sudden change of words.

"Mother, even if the family is divided, you are still Yun Hao's legal mother."

Yun Hong explained, and said seriously: "Mother, Song and I have been divorced for two months. I came here today to ask you to help find a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion on my behalf."

Rong Enqing put away his displeasure and asked seriously, "Have you made an agreement with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

"Yes. We have already agreed. I am just waiting for my mother to come and ask for marriage." Yun Hong bowed and said respectfully, "Please help me, mother."

Rong Enqing nodded: "No problem. Who do you want to ask to be the matchmaker?"

"Madam Zheng, the wife of Duke Anguo."

"Madam Zheng!" Rong Enqing was slightly stunned. "Isn't Madam Zheng the grandmother of Xu Changping? Why don't you..."

Before Rong Enqing finished speaking, Yun Hong said, "Mother, although Xu Changping is my brother-in-law, I am not familiar with him. Besides, it seems more serious if you invite me personally. I think Madam Zheng will be embarrassed to refuse."

As he spoke, Yun Hong glanced at Xiu Zhang who had been standing aside, and said apologetically: "Could Miss Xiu Zhang please leave for a moment? I have something to say to my mother alone."

Xiu Zhang looked at Rong Enqing, and when he saw Rong Enqing nod, he bowed and quickly retreated.

"What do you want to tell me alone?" Rong Enqing glanced at Yun Hong and said in a light tone.

"Mother, we haven't seen each other for so long, don't you really want to see me?" Yun Hong said with grievance in his tone.

For some reason, Rong Enqing suddenly saw the shadow of Yun Hai, who liked to cry and act like a spoiled child, in the person in front of him.

Could it be that brothers always have some similarities in their hidden personalities?

Thinking of Yunhai, Rong Enqing's tone softened a little, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

At this moment, Yun Hong suddenly looked at Rong Enqing, smiled, and said cheerfully: "The marriage proposal is a cover. The real purpose of my coming here today is to tell my mother a piece of news."

Yun Hong kept it a secret for a while, but his gaze towards Rong Enqing became more and more passionate.

Rong Enqing felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and always felt that Yun Hong had bad intentions. But he still asked, "What news?"

"Something happened at the Princess's Mansion."

"Something happened in the Princess's Mansion?" Rong Enqing looked at Yun Hong in confusion. Why tell her this?

"It is said that more than 200 people died in the Princess's Mansion some time ago! I don't know what happened!" Yun Hong stared at Rong Enqing with a smile, "Mother, do you know what happened?"

Rong Enqing really didn't know about this and was immediately shocked.

It wasn't a war, but more than 200 people died. And it happened right under the feet of the emperor, so it must be a major accident!

But why didn't she hear anything?

"Could it be that mother doesn't know about this yet?"

"What on earth is going on? Why haven't I heard of this?"

"Haha. Because Emperor Taihe blocked the news!" Yun Hong suddenly laughed, "Because the place where the dead were buried is where the treasure he took from Shun'an Marquis' Mansion was buried!"

After these words were spoken, Rong Enqing could no longer sit still.

She widened her eyes and looked at Yun Hong in disbelief, "What did you say!?"

Yun Hong said with a smile: "You didn't expect it, did you? Grandfather doesn't have any treasure at all. Even if he did, he would have been transported out of the capital long ago. How could it be left until now, waiting for Emperor Taihe to dig it up?"

"What do you mean?"

Looking at Yun Hong who was smiling like a fool, Rong Enqing just felt uneasy.
