Although the words were addressed to Rong Chenghan, Rong Chengyi looked at the old prince.

"Your eldest brother has a mother-like temperament and is the kindest." The old prince sighed. This confirmed that it was Rong Chengyi who advocated keeping Hong Fei.

"Now that you know the truth, there is no need to continue investigating." The old prince said to Rong Chenghan again.

As the old prince said, the truth seemed to be revealed. However, Rong Chenghan's heart was not relaxed. On the contrary, he felt that his heart was heavier. After lifting a layer of fog, what he saw became clear.

, but it feels strangely unreal.

There's still something not quite right.

The old prince looked at Rong Chenghan, waiting for his answer. The old prince knew his son. Rong Chenghan had a strong personality, but he kept his word. He needed Rong Chenghan to promise not to investigate further.

But Rong Chenghan did not make any promises.

"Isn't Hong Fei left because there are other doubts about the matter?" Rong Chenghan asked in a deep voice.

"Things couldn't be more clear. It was because I couldn't forget my old relationship that I left her alive." Rong Chengyi said again.

Rong Chenghan nodded, seeming to believe what Rong Chengyi said.

"This matter has been going on for so long, and it is a grudge from the previous generation. From now on, none of you are allowed to mention this matter. Don't let your mother and concubine know about it." The old prince ordered, "Also, third child, you

Tell your daughter-in-law, too. She is not allowed to ask anyone about this matter again."

The old prince knew very well that the young couple Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruosi had a good relationship and talked about almost everything. Liu Ruosi was so anxious to come over to rescue Rong Chenghan just now. It is very likely that Liu Ruosi also knew about this matter.

Yes, that's why the old prince told Rong Chenghan like this.

"Yes, Father, I understand." Rong Chenghan replied immediately this time.

The old prince sighed slightly, with a slightly tired look on his face. Brothers Rong Chengyi and Rong Chenghan exchanged glances, stood up and said goodbye to the old prince.

"Father, there is no need to worry about this matter. Just enjoy your life and rest."

"Yes." The old prince nodded, indicating that the two brothers could leave.

Rong Chengyi and Rong Chenghan walked to the door, but stopped involuntarily. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, but this time it was Rong Chengyi who walked out first. Rong Chenghan did not follow him out, but closed the door again and turned around.

Turn around and walk to the desk.

The old prince was sitting behind the desk. He did not raise his head. When he heard the footsteps coming back, the old prince thought it was Rong Chengyi.

"Ayi..." The old prince called softly.

Among the three Rong Chenghan brothers, Rong Chengyi was the only one who was lucky enough to be called so affectionately by the old prince. Rong Chenghan paused slightly, and a look of sadness flashed across his face.

"Father, it's me. My eldest brother is leaving first." Rong Chenghan reminded.

"Oh, third child." The old prince raised his head and saw that it was Rong Chenghan, so he said, "What else do you want?"

"Yes." Rong Chenghan walked to the table and sat down slowly, but his eyes were always on the old prince. "Father, I have one more thing to ask you."

"You...hey, you've had this temper since you were a child." The old prince was a little tired, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Father, there is no one else here, please don't hide anything." Rong Chenghan continued.

"Oh..." The old prince looked at Rong Chenghan and thought secretly in his heart. What exactly did Rong Chenghan want to ask him? Rong Chengyi's narration just now should have explained everything in the past clearly. Rong Chenghan seemed to accept it.

This is what Rong Chengyi said.

"My mother and concubine are completely innocent about poisoning my eldest brother, right?" Rong Chenghan looked directly at the old prince and asked solemnly.

It turned out that this was the question. As the son of the Su family, Rong Chenghan was most concerned about this matter and whether the Su family was innocent.

"Yes." The old prince did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a moment before giving the answer. "Do you doubt your mother-in-law?"

"No." Rong Chenghan shook his head. "Father, the matter is too far away from me. How could I have any unreasonable suspicions? I just need the truth."

"What your elder brother said is the truth." The old prince said.

"That's good." Rong Chenghan lowered his head. Then he raised his head again, "Father, is it really your elder brother's idea to keep Hong Fei?"

"It was your eldest brother who begged me for mercy. Your eldest brother's mother and concubine died young, and he regarded Hong Fei as no different than his own mother. He was still a child at that time." The old prince nodded.

"My eldest brother begged for mercy, and my father agreed? My eldest brother was young at the time and could not think of many things. But my father was already in his prime at that time, and he should not have agreed." Rong Chenghan looked at the old prince. Even if he agreed in person, he could coax Rong Chengyi.

You should get rid of Hong Fei when you turn around, and you shouldn't keep Hong Fei until now.

"We still have to consider your second brother..." the old prince sighed.

"This is not like what my father did." Rong Chenghan didn't buy it, "What else is my father hiding?"

"What I told you is the truth. Don't be suspicious." The old prince said immediately, looking at Rong Chenghan, "Third brother, you don't believe my father."

"It's not that I don't believe in my father." Rong Chenghan was silent for a while and still said, "It's just because of what my eldest brother said, my father will not keep Hong Fei."

"What can I say before you can believe it?" The old prince helplessly held his forehead, "Things are just like what your elder brother said. What are you doubting?... Third child, you are still young. You think you understand your father, but...

You are still too young." Some things require enough experience to understand them.

"Go ahead and don't think about it any more." The old prince simply issued an order to expel Rong Chenghan, "No matter when the time comes, you only need to remember one thing. You three brothers are all my sons. What about the grudges of the previous generation?

, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t let this matter affect you.”

When Rong Chenghan saw the old prince saying this, he knew that the matter was over and he could not get any more information from the old prince.

"I understand, father, don't worry." Rong Chenghan stood up and said. As for what he wanted the old prince to worry about, he did not say it directly.

"Yes." The old prince nodded with satisfaction. Seeing Rong Chenghan walking out, he suddenly stopped Rong Chenghan, "Where is your mother and concubine? Even if she asks, don't tell her. Don't even ask your mother and concubine about this."

Thing...you also saw your elder brother's appearance just now. No one wants to think about this."

Although it was not Su who was poisoned, Su was also the victim of that incident. When it came to the extent of the injury, Su was no less than Rong Chengyi.

Rong Chenghan had no intention of asking Su, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

After Rong Chenghan left for a while, the old prince called two close family members to come in.

"The people in the family temple need to move." The old prince ordered as he walked slowly in the study with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, where are you moving to?" the two generals asked hurriedly and carefully.

"Let's move to the Zhuangzi in Xishan for the time being." Regarding this issue, the old prince also hesitated a lot. If he wanted to hide the red fei from everyone, there would be no better place than the family temple. There has been no such place for so many years.

Being discovered is a good illustration of this point. But now Hong Fei cannot be allowed to stay in the family temple. Based on the old prince's understanding of his son, he knows that Rong Chenghan is likely to continue the investigation. Moreover, the family temple

There was also a message coming over there saying that something has been amiss recently. If Rong Chenghan could discover Hong Fei, others would also discover it sooner or later.

Zhuangzi in Xishan is relatively remote, and few people from the palace go there. Moreover, there happens to be a good place for hiding people in that Zhuangzi.

The old prince gave detailed instructions to the two generals, and also gave special instructions to two people.

"It's just the two of you, don't let a third person know...Be very careful about what you do. If the news leaks out, I will ask you...No matter who asks, you should know what to say."

Both generals hurriedly bowed and vowed to get things done and to keep their mouth shut.

These two people are the confidants of the old prince who have always been with him. The old prince trusts them and will arrange such confidential matters for the two of them.

"Go now. Don't delay." The old prince ordered.

The two generals were ordered to go out.

The old prince let out a long sigh again, feeling very uneasy in his heart. Rong Chenghan's actions seemed to be opening up an old scar again. Although many years had passed, the wound was still bloody.

. Looking back on the past, the old prince was stunned for a long time. It was not until Mrs. Su sent the little girl over to remind him that it was late and it was time to rest that the old prince came to his senses.

"Let the princess rest first, I still have some things to do." The little girl sent by the old prince to deliver the message raised her hand to flip through the files on the desk, but then put them down.

"What is the prince doing?" the old prince asked.

Someone hurriedly went to the backyard to check. After a while, they came back and reported that Rong Chengyi was playing piano and singing with the group of young talents in Lixiang Garden.

The old prince smiled bitterly and stood up slowly.

"Lead the way, I'll go take a look." The old prince planned to go see his eldest son so that the two of them could have a good talk.

Yunshuiju

Just as Rong Chenghan finished recounting the conversation in the study to Liu Ruosi, a little girl from Chunhui Hall came over and said that the Su family wanted Rong Chenghan to come over and talk.

"I'm afraid my mother may have heard something." Rong Chenghan asked the little girl to go first, and then he went and changed his clothes.

Liu Ruosi felt a little strange, but she said nothing and didn't show it on her face. Rong Chenghan had changed a set of clothes just now, and now he had to change again. Rong Chenghan would not do such a thing normally. Liu Ruosi said

She chose a homely sapphire blue robe with arrow sleeves and helped Rong Chenghan put it on. Thinking back to what Rong Chenghan said just now, Liu Ruosi guessed that Rong Chenghan didn't want to go to Chunhui Hall to see Su.

Rong Chenghan refused to say it, but Liu Ruosi knew that Rong Chenghan was suspicious of the Su family. Because of the old prince's treatment of Hong Fei, Rong Chenghan needed some time to buffer before he could face the Su family.

"I have nothing to do and am just about to take a walk. How about I go with you." Liu Ruosi suggested to Rong Chenghan.

"It's getting late, don't go out, just wait for me in the house. I'll be back as soon as I go." Rong Chenghan changed his clothes, put his mood in order, and went to Chunhui Hall.

Chunhui Hall

Mrs. Su sat on the couch, her brows furrowed, and she listened nervously to what was going on outside. When she heard Rong Chenghan's arrival, Mrs. Su hurriedly moved on the couch and barely relaxed her brows. She didn't want Rong Chenghan to see.

out her anxiety.

When Rong Chenghan came in, Su made some small talk and then seemed to ask Rong Chenghan casually.

"Why did you just listen that your father asked you to speak. Did you make your father angry?" Su Shi stared at Rong Chenghan nervously.

Sure enough, this was what he was asking about. Rong Chenghan knew it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
