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

Rong Enqing had really thought about it, but after last night's test and Emperor Taihe's words just now, Rong Enqing didn't know whether he should tell him his idea or not.

Seeing her hesitation and changing expressions, Emperor Taihe guessed that she must have thought of a solution but was just not willing to say it directly.

So he said, "It seems like you have a solution? Tell me, even if you are wrong, I will forgive you."

Hearing this, Rong Enqing no longer hesitated and said quickly: "I have indeed thought about it, but..."

She glanced at Emperor Taihe and said truthfully, "I heard that an accident occurred in the Duiyue Pavilion that Your Majesty had taken from Shun'an Marquis's Mansion, and more than 200 people died."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Taihe's expression turned cold. He had already issued a gag order on this matter, so how could the news leak out?

Emperor Taihe suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Go on."

"I think that if Your Majesty wants to quietly take the gold for himself, the best way is to use the incident at Duiyue Pavilion as an excuse to search and confiscate Shun'an Marquis's Mansion. In this way, Your Majesty can move the gold away naturally."

Rong Enqing looked at Emperor Taihe cautiously, his heart full of anxiety and anticipation.

Emperor Taihe glanced at Rong Enqing, and asked in amusement and anger: "By searching the Shun'an Marquis's Mansion in advance, you can also take your grandchildren and leave the capital naturally, right?"

No wonder she took the opportunity to test his attitude last night. It turned out that he was waiting for her here!

Rong Enqing smiled awkwardly. As expected, nothing could be hidden from Emperor Taihe's eyes.

If she could really convince Emperor Taihe to use this excuse to search Shun'an Marquis' Mansion in advance, then she and the people around her could easily escape.

By the time Yun Yi and his gang were caught and their conspiracy was exposed, she would have already fled far away with Yun Ying and the others, hiding her identities.

Rong Enqing looked at Emperor Taihe in a flattering manner and said, "I do have selfish motives. However, this is the best solution I can think of.

"Yun Hong is now using the hidden power that Yun Yi left behind in Shun'an Marquis Mansion to gradually control the entire mansion. When he has complete control of the mansion, that will be the time for him to move the gold away. He said in person that the purpose of his return was to transport the treasure out of the capital."

Rong Enqing paused and added another dose of explosive information, "Your Majesty, now in Shun'an Marquis's Mansion, only the warehouse is still under my control. I believe it won't be long before Yun Hong's people will be able to take over the control of the warehouse."

"Oh, so what if that's the case? Do you think they can transport several tons of gold out of the capital under my nose?"

Emperor Taihe sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.

Rong Enqing twitched his lips and reminded, "But, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst! What if they break up into small groups and smuggle the gold bit by bit? There are so many people entering and leaving the capital every day, can Your Majesty really prevent them?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Taihe couldn't help but frown.

I have to say that the possibility that Rong Enqing mentioned does exist.

One can imagine how patient a person who can hide for more than 30 years has to be.

It is actually possible to smuggle gold bit by bit.

However, he was a little reluctant to accept Rong Enqing's suggestion and give up such a useful chess piece like Rong Enqing easily.

Gold or chess pieces? He still needs to think about it.

"I will seriously consider what you said. Please leave first."

"Yes. I surrender and leave."

Rong Enqing bowed and left.

***

After leaving the palace and returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Yannian handed over a letter, "Madam, this is a letter from General Weiyuan's Mansion. The general's wife invites you to leave the city tomorrow and go to the Fahua Temple to burn incense."

"Got it." Rong Enqing took the note and took a look at it. It was indeed an invitation from Yuan.

Princess Anyang had mentioned this to her before.

However, half a month had passed since the county lady told her about this, and when she thought that Yuan would not extend an invitation, the invitation actually came.

Forget it, just go. If Yuan is talking about the county lady's marriage, she can just fool him.

Anyway, she was not going to interfere in the county lady's marriage anymore.

Having made up his mind, Rong Enqing dressed neatly and went out early the next morning.

Xiu Zhang and Nan Shan were still accompanying her when she went out.

Now, Xiu Zhang and Nan Shan have become her standard equipment when she goes out.

One was to protect her safety closely, and the other was to help her collect intelligence from the other party's entourage.

When Rong Enqing was riding in a carriage out of the city, Yuan's carriage was already waiting outside the city.

After the reunion, the group headed towards the Fahua Temple, which was thirty miles outside the city.

Fahua Temple is the most popular temple near the capital.

In addition to the fact that there are several famous monks in Fahua Temple, Gaosi Mountain where Fahua Temple is located has beautiful scenery and is a great place for spring outings.

Therefore, many people will burn incense when they come for an outing.

As time went by, the reputation of Fahua Temple grew, and it became the only place for high-ranking officials in the capital to pray to the gods and worship Buddha.

The carriage was at the foot of Gaosi Mountain, and a group of people got on and off the carriage.

Yuan came over quickly and saluted, "Madam, you have worked hard on the journey."

As he spoke, he took Rong Enqing's arm affectionately and said with a smile, "Madam, do you want to take a rest before going up the mountain?"

Yuan was close to her, so Rong Enqing naturally wouldn't put on airs. She immediately smiled and joked, "I'm resting before we even start climbing the mountain. If you don't know, you'd think I'm old. It's okay, let's go."

So the two of them walked up together.

As Fahua Temple became more and more famous, the stone steps leading up the mountain have been renovated time and time again. Now they are smooth, wide and not difficult to walk on.

But no matter how easy it is to walk, it is still uphill.

After walking for less than fifteen minutes, Rong Enqing was already exhausted and out of breath.

When they were halfway up the mountain, Yuan suggested that they go to the pavilion nearby to rest for a while, and Rong Enqing did not refuse.

"Huh! I'm getting old, I can't help but accept it!" Rong Enqing pinched his calf subconsciously as soon as he sat down.

Seeing this, Xiuzhang and Nanshan hurried over to massage her legs.

"You two maids are so thoughtful." Yuan smiled and praised Xiu Zhang and the other two.

Hearing Yuan's words, Rong Enqing felt relieved and said with a smile: "If they were not considerate, I wouldn't be able to take them out."

"That's right." Yuan nodded in agreement, then changed the subject with a bitter look on her face, "Actually, I asked the Madam to come out today to discuss the marriage of Anyang's child with her."

"Well, as an outsider, I shouldn't get involved in the county princess's marriage, right?" Rong Enqing looked at Yuan in embarrassment.

Sure enough, she guessed it right.

The reason why Yuan asked her out was really because of the county lord's marriage!

However, she was not going to intervene.

Because she was not sure about the situation between Yang Wei and Yuan, and she could not guess what they were planning for Anyang County Princess.

All she could do was wait.
