Chapter 157: Weakness is due to glimpsing the secrets of heaven
Rong Xun reached out to take it and looked at it, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. She had been afraid of being alone with him before, but today he came to see her for this matter.
Sure enough, she fell in love with Xiao Lusheng.
"I believe Lord Rong is on the side of the Crown Prince, right?" Su Yun asked bluntly.
The Imperial Observatory is the most sacred position in the Cangyun Kingdom, and each director in office is loyal to only one emperor.
Xiao Lusheng is now the crown prince and the rightful next emperor.
Originally, Rong Xun and Xiao Lusheng had a certain friendship, so she believed that Rong Xun was on Xiao Lusheng's side.
At least he won't backstab you easily!
"I'm just on the side of the Crown Princess." He looked at Su Yun, enunciating each word, with a smile as gentle as spring breeze, yet mixed with a hint of bitterness.
"I?"
Why don’t I understand something?
Rong Xun smiled faintly, "Yes." Because of Su Yun, he was more determined and more willing to take risks to plan with Xiao Lusheng and go against the will of heaven together.
Everything is because of Su Yun.
Because of her, he, Xiao Lusheng, must become the final winner. Otherwise, he knows exactly what the consequences will be.
For a moment, Su Yun was speechless and could only think of one answer, "You, are you doing this to thank me for the longevity lock I gave you back then?"
Rong Xun smiled slightly and did not deny her words.
For him, it is more than just repaying a favor.
Back then, she was still a little girl with a pair of big watery eyes. Her clear and silly eyes were unforgettable.
When she gave him the longevity lock, her childish voice inexplicably had a power that warmed people's hearts. She said, "I don't have any money. This longevity lock is made of gold. You can use it to pay back the money and bury the deceased."
He looked at the longevity lock, then looked at the little girl and asked her if she would be scolded by the adults in the family if the longevity lock was lost.
She said firmly no.
He was only a few years older than her, but he felt that he was cared for and protected by her. From then on, he memorized her appearance and vowed that one day he would find her and thank her solemnly.
As for the secret deep inside...
He felt that he was unworthy, so his blessings were always from afar. Who would have thought that God was blind, and such a kind and lovely girl, although she was a lady from a wealthy family, was not favored...
"Yes." He nodded slightly and looked at Su Yun and nodded.
Those of them who can see the secrets of heaven are not qualified to like anyone.
As he thought about it, he covered his lips and coughed a few times.
Su Yun said: "I have seen Lord Rong many times, and he never looks very well."
Rong Xun nodded, "My health has not been very good since I was young."
Speaking of poor health, Su Yun recalled that the little boy was indeed thin at that time, and even now, Rong Xun's aura was weak.
"If I hadn't taken those medical books, maybe you could have healed yourself."
"No, although I was learning medicine from my master at the time, I showed a lot of talent in divination. So, my weak body is because I can see the secrets of heaven."
Get a glimpse of the secret.
These words carry too much weight.
She wanted to take a peek, but was afraid of seeing some news that might be unfavorable to Xiao Lusheng or herself.
But she came to see Rong Xun today because she wanted to clarify some things. There was no need to back down, she couldn't back down, and she shouldn't back down.
"I have studied all those medical books. If you don't mind, Lord Rong, I can take a look at them for you."
"Thank you, Princess, but my condition cannot be cured by medicine." He paused and continued, "Perhaps I have seen too many opportunities, and they all backfired."
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Rong Xun thought for a moment and said, "It's just that he is weak and sickly."
It means that he is weak and sickly.
The human body is the most important thing, but he doesn't seem to care.
Su Yun understood his hidden meaning. Rong Xun's weak health was due to him seeing too many secrets of heaven.
So, she didn't insist on taking his pulse.
Getting back to the point, he said, "Before, you said that Su Yuxi would ask Xiao Lusheng for help, and it came true, and now..."
Su Yun looked at the secret letter in his hand. "When I was twelve years old, I saved a young boy in Mobei. At that time, I went out day and night to treat him. Su Yuxi also knew about this. I was afraid that she would use this matter to slander my innocence..."
"Ha ha……"
Before Su Yun could finish her words, Rong Xun laughed out loud.
Su Yun was a little annoyed. Was he making fun of her?
Just when he was at a loss for words, Rong Xun said, "Don't worry, Crown Princess." He unfolded the letter and said, "Does Crown Princess know whose jade pendant in the painting belongs to?"
"I don't know, but what I'm worried about now is that Su Yuxi will use this matter to make a fuss. I'm afraid..."
"The Crown Princess is afraid that the Crown Prince will believe her and think that you have had secret meetings with men at such a young age?"
Yes, that's what she was worried about.
However, Rong Xun's attitude made Su Yun a little puzzled. What did he mean?
"Crown Princess, you should ask who this jade pendant belongs to."
"Yes, whose is it?" Her heart was inexplicably choked for a moment, and looking at Rong Xun's expression, she clearly knew the answer.
Rong Xun said: "It's from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Su Yun covered her mouth, "You mean to say that the person I saved back then was Xiao Lusheng?"
"Exactly."
"But..." Su Yun thought back to those years, "But I have already fixed the bones in his leg. I have taken care of him for so long, his leg should be fully healed.
Also, if he keeps using the ointment I gave him, his face won’t be disfigured…”
Thinking back now, the young man she saved back then was indeed disfigured and his legs were disabled.
If he hadn't received careful treatment, Xiao Lusheng would have ended up like this.
Back then, although Xiao Lusheng was disfigured, his words and actions were very noble.
When he first woke up, he was very alert to herself. Perhaps he was afraid that she was sent by an assassin, so he was so cautious.
"Crown Princess, you don't know that the Crown Prince was assassinated and framed, and all kinds of tricks were used. Under such circumstances, even a good person may not be able to return to the capital safely from Mobei, not to mention that his legs have not healed yet."
He and Xiao Lusheng have been close friends for many years, so he naturally knew about what happened to Xiao Lusheng back then.
After all, Xiao Lusheng had never hidden anything from him, and even asked him to tell the divination about who the girl who saved him was.
"So that's how it is." Su Yun suddenly realized.
After knowing that the person was Xiao Lusheng, she felt a warm current flowing through her heart. It turned out that their fate had been established five years ago.
Rong Xun smiled but said nothing.
"I wonder how Xiao Lusheng would react if he knew." Su Yun looked ahead. Yu Qi and Qing Ning were in the yard, and no one knew what they were mumbling about.
"Crown Princess, you know too little about the Crown Prince. He already knew that you were the girl who saved him back then."
Rong Xun lowered his head, looked at the porcelain white teacup in his hand and continued, "Besides, have you never doubted that the King of Huainan, who had been married several times, had several concubines die, but you are still safe and sound?"
