Chapter 212 Master Yao Comes to Beijing
Half a month passed in a flash, and Murong Xuanyi finally waited for the arrival of his grandfather and his entourage.
That day, Ying Jiu galloped along the way, raising clouds of dust, and rushed towards the capital. Not long after, he arrived in the capital smoothly and rushed straight to Prince Jing's Mansion.
Murong Xuanyi was reading a book in the study. Fang Yang led Ying Jiu into the study. Ying Jiu knelt down and saluted respectfully, "Your Highness, the master and his men will soon arrive in the capital!"
When Murong Xuanyi heard this, the scroll in his hand fell to the ground instantly. He stood up suddenly and asked anxiously, "How far is it?"
Ying Jiu bowed and replied: "My Lord, my master and his men met up with Lord Jiang halfway and have already arrived at Zhang Ding Mansion to rest. Lord Jiang was afraid that Your Highness would be anxious waiting, so he arranged for me to hurry back to report the news."
Murong Xuanyi thought that it would only take a day or two to travel from Zhang Dingfu to the capital.
He paced back and forth while ordering, "Fang Yang, go inform Nanny immediately."
Fang Yang took the order and left. Murong Xuanyi looked at Ying Jiu again, "You've worked hard, too. Go down and rest first."
Ying Jiu responded and retreated. Not long after, Yu Xi hurried over with Fang Yang, her face full of anxiety and expectation, "Your Highness, are the Master and his men really coming soon?"
Murong Xuanyi nodded slightly, "Yes, I have arrived at Zhang Ding's mansion to rest. I estimate that we will reach the capital in two days. Mammy, I still need you to check on many matters in the mansion. Also, tell the kitchen to quickly prepare the dishes that grandpa likes to eat. There must not be any mistakes."
Yuxi responded hastily: "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will go and give detailed instructions to the servants right away. I will review the layout of the guest rooms and the prepared meals one by one. There will definitely not be any mistakes." After saying that, he hurried off to get busy.
Murong Xuanyi looked at Fang Yang beside him, his expression calm and serious, and ordered in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Fang Yang, you go and make arrangements immediately, and organize the people in the city to welcome grandpa together. Spread the news, and I will reward those who go to welcome him."
Fang Yang was stunned when he heard this, and a look of surprise and confusion appeared on his face for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses. "I will arrange it right away."
He was really curious. His Highness had always been low-key, but why did he ask the people in the city to welcome his grandfather this time? This was really unusual. Fang Yang scratched his head, full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Murong Xuanyi stood there, looking at Fang Yang's departing figure, then he slowly retracted his gaze and frowned slightly. His grandfather had suffered many injustices, and now he was finally rehabilitated. Of course, the letter of rehabilitation must be announced to the world, and everyone in the world must know his grandfather's innocence.
Two days passed slowly as Murong Xuanyi was eagerly waiting. On this day, as soon as the sky was light, Murong Xuanyi got up, dressed neatly, and rushed to the city gate with Yuan Ying, Yuxi and a group of guards.
When they arrived at the city gate, Murong Xuanyi stared at the road in the distance, his eyes full of anxiety. Seeing this, Yuan Ying stepped forward and held Murong Xuanyi's hand.
Nanny Yuxi was standing by, her eyes red as she kept muttering, "The master and his family are finally here. If the young lady knew, she would be so happy."
Time passed little by little, the sun rose gradually, and just as everyone was waiting more and more anxiously, a cloud of dust was raised on the official road in the distance, and the sound of carriages and horses was faintly heard.
Murong Xuanyi was delighted. As the carriage got closer, his eyes instantly became moist with excitement. He quickened his pace and rushed towards the carriage.
When the carriage approached, the curtain was lifted, and an old man who looked energetic but exhausted from the journey poked his head out. It was Murong Xuanyi's grandfather. The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and both of them were filled with tears.
Murong Xuanyi hurried forward, stretched out his hand to help his grandfather get out of the car, and said in a choked voice: "Grandson greets grandfather!"
Master Yao held Murong Xuanyi's hand tightly, his voice trembling a little, "Good boy, let your grandfather take a good look at you. You have grown stronger." As he spoke, he patted Murong Xuanyi's shoulder lovingly with his other hand.
Yuxi had already burst into tears. She stepped forward and bowed to the old man, choking up as she said, "Master, it's so great to see you again. If the young lady is still alive, she would also be looking forward to this day."
Master Yao looked at Yuxi, tears welled up in his eyes. He waved his hand gently, his voice full of emotion and vicissitudes, "Yuxi, thank you for your hard work over the years."
Murong Xuanyi took Yuan Ying's hand and introduced her to Master Yao, "Grandfather, this is my princess, Yuan Ying."
Then he said to Yuan Ying, "Yan'er, this is my grandfather."
Yuan Ying hurried forward, performed a dignified and proper salute, with a gentle and sincere smile on his face, and said: "Yuan Ying greets grandpa, you have worked hard on the journey."
Master Yao took a closer look at Yuan Ying. Seeing that this girl was pretty and well-mannered, with eyes full of love, he smiled and nodded in response, "Haha, you are such a well-behaved and lovely girl. Grandfather is relieved that Xuan Yi has you by his side."
In the carriage behind, several of Mr. Yao's sons and Jiang Chong got out one after another and walked forward quickly.
Murong Xuanyi's face was full of respect and joy, and he then greeted his uncles, "Nephew greets all the uncles, did you have a smooth journey?"
Seeing this, several uncles hurriedly smiled and said, "Xuan Yi, the journey was smooth. With Lord Jiang taking care of us, there were no setbacks. Thank you for your hard work."
Murong Xuanyi looked at Master Yao and his uncles and said, "Grandfather, uncles, I want to give you a surprise."
Murong Xuanyi calmed down, turned to look at the people behind him, and said loudly: "My fellow villagers, the reason why you are all gathered here today is because the person next to me is my grandfather.
He was a loyal businessman all his life and served the Great Xia Dynasty faithfully, but he was framed by traitors and suffered injustice for many years. Fortunately, the emperor was wise and vindicated my grandfather and restored his innocence. Today, I invite everyone to witness my grandfather's glorious return and let everyone know that loyal people will not be buried for long! "
After saying this, he winked at Fuquan who had been standing by. I don't know what method Murong Xuanyi used, but Emperor Kangren actually agreed to let Fuquan read the redress letter in person.
Fuquan understood and hurriedly stepped forward, cleared his throat, unfolded the book of redress that carried so much hope and justice in his hand, and began to read it solemnly and seriously. His voice was loud and clear, echoing in the street, and every word seemed to have a thousand pounds of power, announcing that the years of injustice of Mr. Yao's family had finally been vindicated.
Everyone listened with bated breath, and Mr. Yao's sons had tears of excitement in their eyes. All the grievances and hardships they had endured over the years gradually dissipated with the sound of the announcement.
As Fuquan read the redress letter word by word, the atmosphere at the scene became more solemn and full of inspiring power. The people around were also deeply touched and sighed from time to time, feeling relieved that the years of injustice suffered by Mr. Yao's family had finally been washed away.
After the announcement, Murong Xuanyi stepped forward and said loudly to the crowd, "To celebrate the vindication of my grandfather's injustice, I have set up a banquet at the Eight Immortals Building and prepared some wine. Please come and sit down with me and share this joy!"
When the people heard this, they cheered and rushed towards the Eight Immortals Building. Murong Xuanyi supported his grandfather and walked slowly forward surrounded by the crowd.
Along the way, Master Yao looked at the lively scene with a feeling in his heart. He said to Murong Xuanyi: "Xuanyi, your kindness really touched my grandfather. Seeing this scene now, the injustices I suffered in the past years are worth it."
Murong Xuanyi responded softly, "Grandfather, you have lived an upright life and should not have suffered those injustices. Now that you have been vindicated, we must celebrate and let everyone in the world know your innocence."
When they arrived at the banquet, everyone took their seats. The table was filled with delicious food and wine. Murong Xuanyi stood up first, raised his glass, and toasted to Master Yao: "Grandfather, I offer you a toast. I wish you good health and happiness in the days ahead, without any worries or sorrows."
Yuan Ying also stood up quickly, holding up the wine glass as well, with a gentle smile on his face, and said: "Grandfather, this glass of wine is for you, and we wish you happiness for the rest of your life."
Master Yao smiled from ear to ear, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction. He picked up the wine glass and said with a choked voice: "Good, good, you are all good children. I have no regrets in my life to receive such filial piety from you today. I just hope that you are well and give me a big fat great-grandson to hug next year."
When Murong Xuanyi and Yuan Ying heard what Master Yao said, they were stunned at first, then they looked at each other, and a little embarrassment appeared on their faces. Murong Xuanyi coughed lightly, smiled and said, "Grandfather, let's put your wish aside for now. There are still many days to come. Let's enjoy the joy of reunion now."
Master Yao burst into laughter, thinking that the two were just shy, so he stopped pestering them and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, okay, it's Grandfather who is anxious. Come on, come on, have a drink."
Afterwards, Murong Xuanyi toasted to his uncles and Jiang Chong and others one by one, thanking them for taking care of his grandfather along the way. Everyone toasted each other, laughing and talking. The banquet lasted for a long time, and everyone's face was filled with joy.
After the banquet was over, Murong Xuanyi took his grandfather and others back to Prince Jing's Mansion. The mansion had already been properly decorated by Nanny Yuxi, and the guest rooms were clean and tidy, with all the necessary items.
Master Yao looked at the huge palace, every corner of which was cleaned spotlessly. The unfamiliar environment now exuded a special kind of neatness and freshness. With mixed feelings in his heart, he said to Murong Xuanyi: "Xuanyi, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Murong Xuanyi smiled and replied, "Grandfather, you are too polite. This is all thanks to Nanny. You have been tired all the way, so you should rest early today. If there is anything, it will not be too late to talk about it tomorrow."
Master Yao nodded, and with the help of everyone, he went into the guest room to rest. Murong Xuanyi chatted with several uncles in the hall for a long time, listening to them talk about what they had seen and heard along the way and their experiences in the past years, until the night gradually deepened, and then they went back to their rooms to rest.
Meanwhile, in the capital, the news that Master Yao had been rehabilitated and Prince Jing had held a banquet to announce his innocence to the world spread like wildfire. Everyone sighed over what had happened to Master Yao's family, but at the same time, they also praised Prince Jing's filial piety and righteousness. Prince Jing's reputation in the capital rose even higher.
When Emperor Kang Ren heard what Fu Quan said about Murong Xuanyi holding a grand banquet for his grandfather, he became very angry and his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.
"Hmph, Murong Xuanyi, this rebellious son, is making such a big fuss, isn't he just trying to embarrass me and the royal family and show off his ability?" Emperor Kang Ren said gritting his teeth, his eyes full of resentment.
Fuquan anxiously advised, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Imperial Physician Xiao has repeatedly warned you that you are not in good health and must not get angry. You must take care of your health."
Although Emperor Kang Ren tried to calm down his anger, he became furious again when he heard Fuquan's words. Why was he in poor health? It was all because of that rebellious son. Thinking of this, his face became even gloomier.
He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Humph, look at my current situation, how can I still be called an emperor! From ancient times to the present, have you ever seen an emperor like me being imprisoned by his own son? It is simply a great shame!"
Fuquan hurriedly bent his body, and with a look of panic, he advised again: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. Prince Jing... He really acted so drastic because of the matter of Prince Jing's wife. I believe that after some time, his anger will subside, and he will definitely think of the father-son relationship and let you go. Now your health is the most important thing. You must not get angry because of this matter. It's not worth it."
Emperor Kang Ren snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, his eyes full of resentment as he said, "Hmph, don't you know the nature of that rebellious son? He is probably looking forward to my death sooner, so that he can completely control the court without any obstacles and take all the power into his own hands. He held a banquet for his grandfather and made such a big scene, wasn't he deliberately showing off his ability to everyone and blatantly demonstrating to me? He also passed the throne to the tenth brother, doesn't he want the tenth brother to be a puppet?"
After saying this, Emperor Kang Ren frowned slightly, and a trace of thought flashed across his narrow eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Fuquan, there are only a few trustworthy people around me now, and you are the only one I can count on. Find a way to sneak out of this Yangxin Palace and contact the fourth brother. Tell him in detail about my situation here and ask him to think of some way to deal with that rebellious son as soon as possible. Don't let Murong Xuanyi be so arrogant."
Fuquan looked hesitant, "Your Majesty, Prince Jing is guarding the place very tightly now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get out. But I will do my best according to Your Majesty's order." Fuquan said, with loyalty gleaming in his eyes.
Emperor Kang Ren waved his hand and said, "I know it's difficult, but now that things have come to this, I can only take a risk. The fourth brother is cautious and intelligent. If I can get his help, I may still have a chance."
Seeing that Emperor Kangren had made up his mind, Fuquan gritted his teeth, nodded heavily and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will find a way right away. Even if it costs my life, I will definitely convey the news to Prince Shun."
Emperor Kang Ren was slightly moved. He patted Fuquan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Fuquan, I have loved you for a long time. If you succeed this time, I will not treat you unfairly."
Quan first took advantage of the night and pretended to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick up something, and walked cautiously towards the outside of the palace. But as soon as he reached the palace gate, he was stopped by the guards who were guarding there. The guards asked with a vigilant look on their faces: "Eunuch Fu, it's so late, where are you going?"
Fuquan hurriedly replied: "The emperor asked me to fetch some things."
The guard was unmoved, "Eunuch, for the safety of the Emperor, no one is allowed to enter or leave without the order of His Royal Highness Prince Jing."
Fuquan felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that he could not go out tonight. He turned his head to look at Emperor Kang Ren, and saw that the hope in his eyes gradually dimmed. The whole Yangxin Palace was shrouded in an atmosphere of despair.
