Chapter 656 A kiss will settle the debt
Zong Que grasped Lu Yangyang's hand, "Now is not the time."
Lu Yangyang frowned slightly, but then she understood.
It's definitely not the right time yet.
The news that Zong Que is still alive must have already reached the capital, but as long as Zong Que does not appear before those people in the capital, the news that he is still alive is just news and cannot be taken as fact.
But any clue that might indicate his current whereabouts will be magnified countless times.
Changyang County was the place that Zong Que chose for her when the emperor conferred her title. It was a place that was not easy to attract attention. But no matter how inconspicuous it was, it would still be watched by people in the capital. It was fine if Zong Que did not appear, but once he appeared, even if he was just passing by, people would keep an eye on that place.
My aunt's whereabouts must not be revealed in the slightest.
Therefore, Zong Que never intended to go there in the first place. In fact, he probably already planned to deliberately spread his whereabouts after leaving Jinzhou City to divert attention.
Therefore, it is indeed not a good time.
Seeing her frown, Zong Que raised his hand and touched her forehead, smiling slightly. "Luo Jing has returned to the military camp and has made many contributions in the past six months. I will arrange for him to go to Changyang County with you. If Mr. Rong can regain his senses, he can escort you to the capital when the time is right."
"Isn't Uncle Luo in the Jinzhou military camp?" Lu Yangyang had been in a hurry since returning to Jinzhou City, and knowing that Uncle Luo and Lu Zhan were in the military camp, she didn't go over to disturb them.
Old Meng had met him once before. He was in high spirits and busy preparing medicine for the soldiers in the camp.
Lu Yangyang suddenly remembered that she had never revealed her aunt's identity to Luo Jing and the others because she was unsure if it would bring danger to her aunt. However, now that her aunt could regain her senses as soon as possible, it would be the best time to reopen the Chenzhou case by gathering the former members of the Rong family army in her identity.
"Does Your Highness intend to use your whereabouts to mislead the capital while gathering evidence, and then have Aunt personally intervene to reopen the Chenzhou case?" Lu Yangyang asked.
"This is naturally the best method, but it's hard to say whether Ms. Rong can regain her senses. If she hadn't suffered a great shock back then, she wouldn't have lost her mind. The entire Rong family was wiped out, not even the loyal servants in the mansion were spared. There's no one left in the Rong family. If we can't find anyone related to the Rong family, we need sufficient evidence to reopen this case. That's why I asked your second brother to make a trip to Chenzhou and activate intelligence leads from various places to collect as much evidence as possible." Zong Que ruffled her hair. "Let Luo Jing and Elder Meng go there, firstly to fulfill their loyalty, and secondly, hoping they can help Ms. Rong's condition. But if Ms. Rong still can't regain her senses, then let's drop this matter, hide her well, and protect her to live out the rest of her life in peace."
"Your Highness, thank you," Lu Yangyang said softly, looking at Zong Que.
“She is also my family. When my mother sent her away, she said that if she could truly forget, it would be a good thing. What I fear is that one day she will wake up, and that will be the most desperate moment. She doesn’t know whether living like this is good for her or another kind of cruelty.” Zong Que sighed softly, “That incident back then will never have a good ending for her. Even if one day the truth of the Chenzhou case comes out and the Rong family is exonerated, the people of the Rong family who died will never come back. Whether she is lucid or confused, it is cruel. So since there is no choice, let’s leave it to fate.”
This is an unsolvable question.
But the true bitterness of life cannot be described by a single problem.
For Consort Rong, everything that happened back then was like a sharp blade, slowly tearing her apart while she was still lucid.
“I didn’t experience what happened back then, and I can’t understand my aunt’s pain. I only know that she is the most important person to me. If she is willing to wake up, I will stay with her and even risk the rest of my life to seek justice. If she is in too much pain and does not want to wake up, I will still seek justice for her and then stay with her for the rest of my life.” For her, who was still young at the time, the years she spent with her aunt were not pleasant memories. She even cursed her aunt viciously, wishing that she would stay crazy for the rest of her life. But on countless winter nights that she couldn’t get through, she could only feel a little warmth when she was in her aunt’s arms. Even if she would be beaten by her aunt the next day, she still wanted to snuggle into her arms at night.
She returned to the capital, determined to seek justice for herself.
What about my aunt who went mad after losing everything because of the Chenzhou case?
Does she sometimes have moments of lucidity, recalling past moments and wanting to seek justice for herself and the Rong family?
If Heaven is unjust, then I will break through it.
We must also seek justice.
"Mmm." Zong Que loosened his fingers and slipped them between hers, interlocking their fingers.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the courtyard. Lu Yangyang helped Zong Que out of the carriage, and Zong Que looked down at her: "Let's go to the study first."
Lu Yangyang went to the study with him.
Zong Que took an envelope from the drawer and handed it to her.
Lu Yangyang took the package with a puzzled look and opened it. When she saw what was inside, she looked at Zong Que in shock: "Your Highness? Is this really okay?"
“How will you know it won’t work if you don’t try? This is all I can arrange for now. Consider it a start. If one day I can arrange more, then perhaps there will be even bigger surprises. What do you think?” Zong Que looked at her with a slight smile.
Lu Yangyang jumped three feet high with excitement, "That's wonderful! Your Highness, you are the best person in the whole world!"
"Oh? Just a good person?" Zong Que teased her, "Did you give her a gift?"
"Ah? A thank-you gift? Well..." Lu Yangyang looked at him with a conflicted expression. This gift was much more valuable than the land deed. What could she possibly give as a thank you gift?
Zong Que waved to her.
Lu Yangyang walked over, then suddenly remembered something, leaned over across the table, and quickly kissed him on the cheek: "Your Highness, a kiss will settle the debt, okay?"
