I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 134 - 94: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

One is the legitimate son of the Dingyuan Marquis, the other is the legitimate daughter of Prince Rui.

Two children sheltered by their familial backgrounds, yet their words actually threatened him, the Emperor?

In an instant, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Rong Jing’s long, narrow eyes.

At this moment, Rong Miaoyan took a deep breath, couldn’t help but step forward, and softly said, "Father, Young Master Gu has only been in the Imperial Family for less than half a year, naturally unaware of certain protocols, and has always been accustomed to being carefree outside the palace. You are the ruler of this country; why argue with her?"

Rong Miaoyan carefully watched Rong Jing, thinking that if Father got enraged, and really betrothed Baoyi and Gu Lan, that would be a disaster.

Rong Heng’s eyes trembled slightly, frowning, knowing that Miaoyan’s words had the opposite effect.

Rong Jing looked at Rong Miaoyan in surprise, not expecting her to speak on Gu Lan’s behalf.

He loved the feeling of playing with everything in the palm of his hand and never trusted anyone, including his two mediocre sons.

But, Rong Miaoyan was different to him.

The Qian Family was a family he himself had elevated, meant to counterbalance the Su Family, inherently without deep roots, and the Crown Prince’s birth mother also came from a humble background, dying in childbirth, an imperial dishonor.

These two sons had mediocre bloodlines; in peaceful times, they could only be caretakers, but in times of turmoil, they would destroy Yan Country.

Only Miaoyan, born to Su Zhixue, possessed the century-old aura and talent of the Su Family, a pure bloodline, and innate intelligence, was his only cherished daughter, the only one worthy of his affection.

Rong Jing’s gaze deepened slightly; initially, he was just testing Gu Lan, but now, it seemed she was truly worth his attention, having come to the Imperial Family for only a few months and managed to make Miaoyan speak on her behalf.

He looked at Rong Heng, who remained silent, and couldn’t help but curl his lips.

Was Wu truly indifferent, or just pretending to be indifferent?

No matter the reason...those who make mistakes must be punished.

Beside him, Xie Yun watched Rong Jing unobtrusively; the Emperor seemed to be directing his anger at Gu Lan, but his gaze continually shifted towards Rong Heng.

Since the Emperor entered Maoqin Hall, Rong Heng had retracted the rare traces of vitality he’d shown recently, returning to his original listless state, ignoring external matters.

It seemed there was an unspoken secret between the Emperor and the Fifth Young Master Rong.

Therefore, it wasn’t a good thing for Lan to get close to Rong Heng; there wasn’t a single good thing in their Imperial Family!

Xie Yun sighed inwardly, pressed his brow, and slowly spoke:

"Your Majesty, yesterday the Qiangrong envoy paid respects, saying they’ve been stalemated with the Great General at the border for years and wish to see what kind of person Young Master Gu is, and now it seems, in such a critical moment, Young Master is not afraid of your authority, truly a tiger father has no dog son."

Rong Jing was waiting for a step down; the one given by Rong Baoyi was too hard, the one given by Miaoyan was too shallow, making him more inclined to take Gu Lan’s head off directly.

Yet, he could not take it off.

Xie Yun’s words, however, allowed him to see Gu Lan somewhat more favorably.

A tiger father has no dog son?

Gu Lan was so bold and arrogant, Wu certainly would not fancy such a shallow person, not to mention, Gu Lan previously said, what she liked most was the lotus which Wu disliked the most.

Xie Yun reminded him that the Qiangrong envoy was coming for an audience...he still needed to use Gu Chengzhao to withstand the Qiangrong in the Northern Territory, and since Gu Lan was so audacious, he would let her entertain those envoys.

Gu Lan had long noticed Rong Jing’s probing; the Dog Emperor spoke energetically, yet the anger wasn’t truly directed at her, rather, he was continuously observing Rong Heng.

The original book didn’t elaborate much on the Emperor, especially lacking any psychological portrayal, leaving no one to know what he was thinking.

But Rong Jing’s actions proved he was an emperor with a strong desire for control, stopping at nothing for the stability of his kingdom.

For seven years, Rong Jing had ignored Rong Heng because Rong Heng had no movement; he lived like a zombie. However, when Rong Heng went out to lead troops and achieved commendable results, becoming a praised general, he issued orders to eliminate his Fifth brother.

He seemed like a brother protecting his sibling, but in his heart, he cared only for himself.

No matter how arrogant Gu Lan behaved, the Emperor wouldn’t care.

In Rong Jing’s eyes, she was merely an insignificant, unprincipled Young Master.

Instead, it was Miaoyan and Baoyi speaking a few more words for her that might change Rong Jing’s perspective.
