Rong Jing glanced at them calmly, and suddenly took the initiative to say, "Prince Jin, if there are not enough people, the runners of the Dali Temple can go and help."

Under normal circumstances, Su Mingjin would have been more than happy to have the opportunity to meet the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.

But now, he couldn't avoid it. Rong Jing was too shrewd and any slight movement could not be hidden from his eyes.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Rong. I dare not trouble the people of the Dali Temple. After all, it is not right and it will not be good for Lord Rong's reputation."

"I didn't think it through." Rong Jing looked apologetic, turned around and bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, can you send the city defense army to help?"

Su Mingjin's expression froze, and just as he was about to refuse, Ning Zhiwei took the lead.

"Yes, there is strength in numbers." This was exactly what Ning Zhiwei wanted. She gave Rong Jing an appreciative look, and the corners of Rong Jing's mouth rose slightly.

The emperor would naturally not refuse such a small matter, "Sure."

Su Mingjin was speechless and became even more anxious. With the city defense troops guarding the city, there was nothing he could do.

Well, I just hope my father can come back to Beijing as soon as possible to take charge of the situation.

The eldest princess's gaze fell on Rong Jing's cold and self-possessed face, and she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy.

She lowered her voice and asked, "Your Majesty, is this young man the Minister of the Dali Temple?"

The emperor thought she was surprised at Rong Jing's youth. "Yes, Rong Jing was a top six scorer in the imperial examination. He was born in a poor family. I personally admitted him when I became the chief examiner on a whim."

The fact that he got the sixth place in the imperial examination shows that he is extremely smart and talented.

People born in poor families have simple network of relationships, which are easy to control. They have no other power and can only rely on the emperor.

The last and most important point is that he is the emperor's disciple, they have a close relationship and he is deeply trusted by the emperor.

Thanks to the right time, right place and right people, Rong Jing was able to hold a high position at such a young age.

The eldest princess thought secretly that she had no acquaintance with the surname Rong. Maybe it was because things are similar and people are similar.

She hadn't been out for a long time and found that today's young people are more capable than each other. Whether it is Rong Jing or Ning Zhiwei, they are both extremely outstanding.

Talented people come out from generation to generation.

Finally, the eldest princess made the final decision, "It is decided. In three days, please ask the county lady to take over Furong Garden."

"Okay." Ning Zhiwei responded crisply, with a hint of joy in her smile. "Thank you, Princess. You are so kind. You are decisive and generous. You are a role model for my generation."

She was full of praise, praising the emperor to the highest heavens and the highest level on earth, with one compliment after another, and was so sincere that the eldest princess was so flattered that she smiled from ear to ear and was in a very good mood.

The princes looked at each other in bewilderment. Is it so easy to please their aunt? They didn't understand.

The emperor suddenly understood his sister's choice. It was really good to have such an adopted daughter who could make you happy.

A scream came from the inner room, "Fifth sister, the eldest sister is awake, come in quickly."

Ning Zhiwei ran without saying a word and rushed into the inner room like a gust of wind. She moved so fast that everyone only had time to see her back disappear at the door.

The emperor couldn't help but complain, "You are impulsive and reckless, and you haven't learned the etiquette and rules well. The border is a wild place after all."

A faint smile flashed across the eldest princess' eyes. "I think it's frank and cute, fresh and bright."

Well, in her eyes, Ning Zhiwei is good in every way, what else can the emperor say? "Just protect her."

After watching the excitement, he stood up and ordered, "Rong Jing, you are responsible for the aftermath. Let's go back to the palace."

"Yes." Rong Jing respectfully saw the emperor and his entourage off.

The eldest princess walked at the end. She turned around and glanced at Rong Jing with a dazed look on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Su Mingjin took the initiative to step forward and help push the wheelchair, "Mom, you must be tired after being out for so long, go back and have a good rest."

The eldest princess suppressed the thoughts in her heart. Some things cannot be forced.

Su Mingjin calmly changed the subject, "By the way, did you receive a letter from your father today? When will he be back? I miss him a lot."

Speaking of her husband, the eldest princess felt a sweet feeling in her heart. No matter where her husband went, he would never forget to write to her, a letter every day, rain or shine.

The letter is filled with such passionate and lingering affection that it makes one blush and feel one's heart beat faster.

"He goes out to travel and sketch. He paints wherever he goes. He comes back whenever he wants. As long as he's happy, that's all. You're not a child anymore, why are you acting like a child?"

The man was devoted to studying painting skills and wanted to become a great painter and leave his reputation for posterity. She fully supported him.

Su Mingjin's mind was racing. It seemed that his mother didn't know his father's whereabouts. So, he could only use the secret communication channel.

"That's great. I envy my father for marrying a good wife like my mother, who is gentle and considerate, and who trusts and supports me wholeheartedly."

The princess heard the unfinished meaning in his words, "Weiwei is very good, but you two are not suitable."

The two of them obviously have different personalities and can't get along.

Furong Garden is about to fall into Ning Zhiwei's hands, and Su Mingjin will not let her go. She said even better, "I want to try. I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Mother, please help me."

The princess sighed silently. Why is this child so stubborn? "You can't force a girl."

It can be seen that she really likes Ning Zhiwei.

Some people hit it off at first sight, while some people cannot become close friends even after spending their entire lives together. This is the fate between people.

Su Mingjin's expression froze, and he gritted his teeth secretly, "Look at what you said, your son is not a shameless person. Besides, is Ning Zhiwei the kind of person who gives in easily? If she doesn't want to, who can force her?"

The princess thought of Ning Zhiwei's temper and couldn't help laughing, "That's right."

The mother and son talked and laughed as they walked further and further away.

Behind him, Rong Jing watched the mother and son leave, with a complex thought flashing through his eyes.

The eldest princess is graceful and righteous, so how could she raise a son with a dark mind and good calculation?

"grown ups."

Rong Jing came back to his senses and looked at the mess in the yard. "Lock the Qi family mother and son and Wang Yingying into the prison and wait for your punishment."

"Take all these physical and human evidence away."

"Search Qi Yanjun's yard and take away everything that belongs to him as evidence."

He paused and looked towards the inner room, "Be careful, don't touch Madam Qi's things."

"Yes."

Instructions were given one after another, and the work was busy but not chaotic.

Qi Yi, the former Marquis of Zhenxi, stood there blankly, looking as if he had aged ten years, haggard and gray.

Rong Jing looked over and said calmly, "Will Master Qi take down the plaque for the Marquis' Mansion? Or will you let me do it for you?"

The word "Master Qi" made Qi Yi's eyes full of emotions. He suppressed them and said in a hoarse voice, "Let me do it."

In the inner room, Ning Wenyin, lying on the hospital bed, took the antidote. After an incense stick, her eyelids moved and she opened her eyes with difficulty.

What caught my eye was a familiar face, "Sixth sister, why are you here?"

Ning Liu was so excited that she cried with joy, "Big sister, you finally woke up. Did you know that Qi Yanjun, that bastard, poisoned you?"

The temperature in the room froze instantly...
