The more King Zhennan thought about it, the angrier he became. Thunder and lightning flashed in his eyes, and he said fiercely: "It can't be true if it's fake. Sister, you know exactly what happened! Sister, you can go back. If you have nothing to do in the future, just stay here. Qiao Mansion, don’t wander around!"
Mrs. Qiao was dumbfounded. She did not expect that King Zhennan would dare to treat her like this. She pointed at him and said angrily: "How dare you, Xiao Shen!"
Xiao Shen is the name of King Zhennan. Since the death of the old King Zhennan, King Zhennan has been the most noble person in Southern Xinjiang. No one has ever called him by name like this.
Mrs. Qiao scolded her regardless: "I am your biological sister. When my father was away at war, I worked hard to raise you. My eldest sister is like my mother. Yet you treat me like this!" She added He talked endlessly about commonplaces, trying to arouse the guilt of King Zhennan.
Even now, she still doesn’t know how to wake up! King Zhennan looked at Mrs. Qiao who was pointing at his nose and scolding her, and was extremely disappointed.
"That's enough!" King Zhennan interrupted Mrs. Qiao rudely and said in a tone that left no room for doubt, "Since you think my punishment is too light, sister, then from now on all troops of the Qiao family will be withdrawn. As a result, the entire Qiao family will be in self-examination and cooperate with the Southern Xinjiang Army’s investigation!”
Mrs. Qiao was stunned, her mouth opened and closed, and she never understood how things could develop to this point. She just came here to ask what happened, so why did the Qiao family get involved as well?
Now, Mrs. Qiao was really anxious, "Brother..."
But it's too late!
The King of Zhennan didn’t want to listen to her at all, so he directly raised his voice and said: “Come, let’s see the guests off!”
As soon as the King of Zhennan spoke, there was no room for Mrs. Qiao to question any more. A few big-bodied women took action and pushed Mrs. Qiao away in two or two strokes...
With Mrs. Qiao gone, the study was finally clean again, but King Zhennan was still angry, his face was white with anger, and veins were pulsing on his forehead.
"Your Majesty," Platycodon platycodon walked over gracefully, served the tea with a low eyebrow, and said softly, "Have a cup of calming tea to calm down. My aunt will always understand your painstaking efforts, Your Majesty."
The King of Zhennan picked up the tea cup, and the fragrance of tea mixed with medicinal fragrance penetrated the tip of his nose, which calmed his irritable mood a little. He took two sips of hot tea and felt much lighter all over. He couldn't help but praise: "This tea is good."
Platycodon smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is sent by someone sent by the Crown Princess."
The King of Zhennan responded, took another sip of herbal tea, and said with emotion: The Crown Princess is indeed a good person, filial and sensible.
The fragrance of tea is faint, the night breeze blows, and the outer study becomes more and more quiet.
The night is getting darker.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue were listening to Mrs. Fang talking in the Yu Pavilion at this time. In the octagonal pavilion in the backyard, a few palace lanterns were lit, and it was dim. The surroundings were quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind, and Xiao Yi's voice was slightly difficult.
Xiao Yi was talking about the cause of his mother's death. Now that the An family has been arrested, he doesn't plan to hide it from Old Mrs. Fang anymore.
No matter how ugly the truth is, it concerns my mother, and I still have to let him know.
After Xiao Yi said the last word, the Octagonal Pavilion fell into silence. Xiao Yi couldn't hide his worry and looked at Old Mrs. Fang. He was not afraid of the truth, but was afraid that Old Mrs. Fang couldn't bear it.
"Grandpa..." Nangong Yue called softly, moving her fingers, wanting to feel for Old Mrs. Fang's pulse, but she heard him finally speak out.
"How dare they?" Mr. Fang in the wheelchair clenched his fists with anger and his lips turned white.
The reason behind her daughter’s premature death was actually related to Anjia!
Mr. Fang and his wife An had a very good relationship. Even after his wife passed away, he still remembered that the An family was his daughter’s uncle’s family. The two families had frequent contacts. It wasn’t until his daughter passed away that the two families gradually became estranged...but he didn’t think about his daughter. My biological uncle is so cruel and has no regard for flesh and blood family ties!
Old Mrs. Fang burst into tears and choked up: "It's my fault, I don't know people well." If he hadn't believed in the An family and let Aunt Lu be his daughter's wet nurse, how could everything have turned out like this!
"Grandpa!" Xiao Yi personally poured a cup of osmanthus tea for Mr. Fang and handed it into his hands. "Even if you are robbed by a thief, you can't blame yourself for being too capable and good at making money. Don't you think so?"
Only one can commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days.
This truth couldn't be simpler. How could Mr. Fang not understand it? It was just because it was related to the death of his only daughter, and caring about it would lead to chaos.
"Yes, Grandpa. Don't get so angry that your loved ones and enemies will suffer!" Nangong Yue comforted her, "Grandpa, our little girl is still waiting for you to teach her how to play chess."
Mr. Fang couldn't help but look at Nangong Yue's slightly bulging belly, and he cheered up a little, and said to himself, yes, what A Yi and A Yue said is that the hateful one is An Jia! He couldn't make himself angry because of such little people, while he was still waiting to hug his great-grandson.
Mr. Fang thought again of the scene yesterday when Lin Jingchen inspected the small piece of clothing. He was also present at that time, and he felt even more hateful: This member of the An family was really guilty of death. He harmed his daughter back then, and now he wants to harm his great-grandson again!
"Ayi," Mr. Fang's eyes flashed with sparks of anger, "What are you going to do next?"
Seeing that Old Mrs. Fang had slowed down, Xiao Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his tense body.
How to do it?
Xiao Yi's peach blossom eyes were filled with murderous secrets, and a cold smile appeared.
Of course it is...
"簌簌猌..."
Another gust of night wind blew through, scattering their voices in the air...
When Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue came out of Tingyu Pavilion, it was already the top of the willow trees above the moon.
This day and this night are really too long.
The two walked hand in hand on the way back to Bixiaotang.
On September 11th, the silver moon is almost round, like a silver disk hanging high in the night sky.
The moonlight gently shone on Xiao Yi's chiseled profile, giving his skin a light sheen like jade. Just looking at him like this, Nangong Yue's mind calmed down. This kind of dust settles after the storm, it is a kind of fetters that the heart can rely on.
She looked up at him, her mouth slightly raised, her eyes warm.
"Ah Yue, are you good today?" Xiao Yi said, turning his head to look at Nangong Yue. As usual, he was chatting with Nangong Yue, and he happened to meet Nangong Yue's eyes. The corners of his mouth were raised, and he was winking. In his shining eyes, a smile rippled like ripples in a lake.
Nangong Yue couldn't move her eyes away, her eyes were a little crazy.
Xiao Yi smiled even brighter, moved his handsome face closer to hers, and said proudly: "Ayue, am I pretty?"
The charming atmosphere was dispelled in an instant, and the corner of Nangong Yue's eyes twitched. This Ayi is still so shameless!
Xiao Yi blinked his right eye and gave him a wink. That look seemed to say, what I said is the truth!
The corners of Nangong Yue's eyes twitched again. The next moment, the guy's face straightened, he stared at her deeply, and said slowly: "A Yue, you have to look at me like this forever..."
Just look at me!
His voice was so domineering, but it sounded coquettish to Nangong Yue's ears, making her feel as happy as a deer.
"That won't work."
She said seriously, narrowed her eyes with a smile, and continued walking forward, walking along the cobblestone path into the small garden in front.
"Ayue!"
He hurriedly chased after her but stopped.
"There is also our daughter!"
Yes, there are also their daughters and their children!
The joyful laughter of the young couple echoed in the small garden, adding a bit of lightness and vitality to this quiet night...
After the storm, everything was in order in Zhennan Palace and Bixiao Hall, but not in Luo Yue City.
The next day, the atmosphere in the city became more and more depressing and tense, just like before a storm, so dull that it was almost breathless.
Every government is waiting and watching the next move of the Southern Xinjiang Army...
It was not until another day passed that there was still no big movement, and the situation eased a little. Those who were watching began to realize that so far, the only mansions controlled by the Southern Xinjiang Army were the An family and the Qiao family, as well as several members of the An family. The in-laws were interrogated, but other than that, the Southern Xinjiang Army did nothing else, and many mansions felt a little relieved.
So, some people tentatively sent posts to Bixiaotang. Nangong Yue picked a few posts and met several groups of visitors.
After three days of fear in General Guan's Mansion, Mrs. Guan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally met Nangong Yue in Bixiaotang and gave her a small gift.
"I heard that the Crown Princess is a Buddhist, and this small-leaf red sandalwood Buddha bead bracelet was consecrated by the eminent monk of the Great Buddha Temple. It can dispel evil and avoid evil, calm the mind, and regulate qi and blood." Mrs. Guan said diligently, ordering The maid presented a bracelet of red sandalwood beads.
Small-leaf red sandalwood is a fine product among red sandalwoods. Such a small bunch is worth a lot of money. It is naturally not a rare thing for the Crown Princess, but the most important thing when giving a gift is to suit her liking.
Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Guan family carefully observed the words and expressions.
"Thank you, Mrs. Guan." Nangong Yue smiled and played with the bracelet, then handed it to Haitang beside her.
The reason why she met the guests this time was to appropriately appease the emotions of the various governments.
Although Xiao Yi, as the crown prince, needs to establish his authority in southern Xinjiang, he cannot let Luo Yue City walk on thin ice all year round. If this continues, it will only destabilize the people of southern Xinjiang and weaken the morale of the military.
Mrs. Guan’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Nangong Yue had received the gift from her family. Judging from the prince's concubine's attitude, it seems that there is still room for improvement in the turmoil this time.
Mrs. Guan calmed down and said tentatively: "I see that the imperial concubine is radiant. This child is really nurturing, and the little grandson is blessed with great blessings."
Nangong Yue smiled slightly, stroked her abdomen, and said like a Taoist: "Yes. This child has a big heart. After I was pregnant with him, I ate well and slept soundly. Even last time, he was frightened. They are all calm and peaceful."
"They say they know people but not their hearts. This An family is really hateful!" Mrs. Guan on the side said anxiously, "Fortunately, the prince exposed it in time and did not let that vicious woman enter the palace gate."
Nangong Yue cooperatively gave the other party some peace of mind: "People are doing it, and God is watching. If you do evil in Anjia, you will also suffer the consequences. The matter has passed, so don't mention it."
Mrs. Guan's mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law exchanged a quick look. What the Crown Princess meant implicitly in her words was that the matter was settled this time? The prince didn't plan to take action against the noble family?
Taking Nangong Yue's hint, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally let go of the huge stone in their hearts. After chatting for a few more words, they stood up and left.
After three or four mansions came to the door in a row, these words gradually spread, one to ten, ten to a hundred... The hearts of each mansion also calmed down, and a storm passed amid lightning and thunder.
While Nangong Yue was busy meeting guests, Xiao Yi went to the sealed An Mansion. The gossip here was not as common as in Bixiaotang.
A soldier led Xiao Yi to a study room in An Mansion.
It is said to be a study room, but now the books, account books, calligraphy and paintings in it have been emptied out by the Southern Xinjiang Army a long time ago, leaving only the bookshelves, desks, chairs, etc. in the room empty.
As soon as Xiao Yicai sat down by the window, An Pinling and An Ziang were escorted in by several soldiers and knelt down on the cold bluestone floor.
In just a few days, the three of them lost a lot of weight, their clothes were ragged, their bodies smelled bad, and they were in a miserable state. Their eyes had lost their luster, leaving only dejection.
After three days of review, I finally got the job!
A cold light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and he said directly: "Say it."
Two words, indifference and impatience.
An Pinling took a deep breath and thought back to more than fifty years ago——
At that time, his grandfather An Mingzhao was an out-and-out prodigal, addicted to gambling and lust. In just ten years, he squandered all the An family's century-old family fortune, and even drove his wife and children out of the house, even to the point of death. Not very glorious. Later, his father An Xunzhi was ordered to do something in danger, but the An family was already empty, and he was completely helpless. Until one day, Ayimu, the saint of Baiyue at that time, approached An Xuzhi and promised benefits. An Xuzhi had no choice but to seek skin from a tiger.
After that, An Xuzhi pretended to sell the remaining property in his family and buy a ship to go to sea, but in fact he went to Baiyue. With the help of Ayimu, his two cargo ships returned fully loaded with exotic goods... In just a short time Five years later, Anjia returned to its heyday and rose again...
However, next, it’s time for An Xunzhi to repay Ayimu.
From An Zhenzhi to An Pinling, many people have been placed in various mansions in southern Xinjiang over the years. The Dafang family’s wet nurse, Grandma Lu, is just the tip of the iceberg, and there is also Meng Tingjian’s aunt, the chief housekeeper of the Tang mansion. , the dowry nun of the old lady of Zhou Mansion... there are countless other characters, both big and small.
An Pinling almost didn't dare to look at Xiao Yi's face and continued: "Actually, my father wanted to stop a long time ago. Before he died, he ordered me to stay away from Baiyue... In the past few years, our An family has already I no longer help Baiyue..."
"How many years have these been?" Xiao Yi interrupted An Pinling casually and asked, "It couldn't be more than three years ago when our Southern Xinjiang army defeated Baiyue, right?"
An Pinling had the nerve to defend himself with this. It was obvious that the An family didn't stop until Bai Da was defeated and had no hope.
A flash of panic flashed in An Pinling's eyes, but he immediately defended himself: "Your Majesty, it's clear! Four years ago, Prince Kuilang of Baiyue led his army to the north. His Majesty led his troops to fight with the Baiyue Army. It was a matter of life and death for Southern Xinjiang. , I tossed and turned for several nights, unable to sleep. The An family was guilty and the crime was unforgivable, but I also knew the justice of my family and country and I didn’t dare to help the evildoers anymore!"
Xiao Yi looked at An Pinling without saying anything, and the corner of his mouth curved into something that looked like a smile but not a smile.
Under the backlight, his handsome eyebrows were half-dark and half-dark, and most of his face was shrouded in shadow. Only his sharp eagle-like eyes shone brightly in the shadow.
Although Xiao Yi said nothing, An Pinling's heart trembled, and he felt as if he had been completely seen through by the other party. An Pinling reflexively wanted to look away, but still gritted his teeth and held on.
The smile at the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth turned cold, and he said calmly: "The An family collaborated with the enemy and treason. The evidence is conclusive. How should I punish this prince?"
Both An Pinling and An Ziang's wife shrank their pupils and looked at Xiao Yi pleadingly. An Pinling said resolutely: "Your Majesty, the An family is willing to sacrifice all the family property and only begs for the life of the An family."
In any case, the prince Xiao Yi also has the blood of the An family. If Xiao Yi discloses the An family's collaboration with the enemy and the country, it will inevitably affect his own reputation and stain him, or even cause trouble. It would also give the emperor an excuse to withdraw the military power from Zhennan Palace.
The An family is made of tiles, and the prince is porcelain. Why should porcelain compete with tiles?
The Crown Prince cannot make the An family's treason public, so he can only punish the An family with the crime of attempted murder of the Crown Princess. However, this crime will not destroy the An family, that is to say——
The An family still has a glimmer of hope!
Thinking about it, a spark of hope flashed in An Pinling's eyes. As long as the An family survives, there will always be a chance to rise again.
"Since the An family just wants to save their lives," Xiao Yi finally said after a moment, "it doesn't matter if I agree to it!"
Hearing this, An Pinling and An Ziang breathed a sigh of relief, but only halfway out of their breath, Xiao Yi continued: "Now that you have finished explaining your affairs, let's talk about An San." That little dress for a girl."
One sentence was as shocking as a rock, causing the heads of An Pinling and the others to buzz, and they all thought in their hearts:
Little clothes? ! Why did Xiao Yi suddenly ask about Xiao Yishang?
Mrs. An's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and her whole body was shaking like chaff.
Even An Pinling looked ashen.
At first, they decided to send An Zhihua to the palace to protect the An family. However, when they found out that the King of Zhennan was quite fond of An Zhihua, they inevitably became greedy, hoping that maybe the An family could use it to improve their lives. Further, for example——
The future King of Zhennan!
In this way, Xiao Yi became an obstacle for them to settle down.
The An family should have been planning slowly, but before An Zhihua came, the eldest concubine became pregnant. Once the eldest concubine gave birth to a grandson, Xiao Yi's position as the eldest son would be solid.
After some thought, An Pinling decided to use Meng Tingjian as a chess piece. He threatened that Meng Tingjian's aunt was a Baiyue man, and asked him to obey him, and arranged the thrilling horse racing... But he didn't want the imperial concubine to die. , actually escaped, and they had to let Meng Tingjian bear all charges.
After the first plan failed, they hatched another plan. An Pinling spent a lot of effort and specially ordered someone to prepare a small piece of clothing, planning to wait until the princess gave birth to see her again... Who would have thought that his son and daughter-in-law would He actually played some fate-incompatible game behind his back, which caused uproar in the city.
Extremely stupid!
The recent scenes flashed before An Pinling's eyes like a revolving lantern, and his hands could not help but clenched into fists...
Originally, An Pinling was still glad in his heart that An Zhihua did not marry into the palace and the dowry was returned. The little dress hidden in the dowry should not be discovered. Unexpectedly, that little dress Not only was it discovered, but...
Listening to Xiao Yi's tone, he even discovered the mystery hidden in Xiao Yishang.
For a while, An Pinling was sweating profusely, and his withered lips were speechless.
This time, I am afraid it will be difficult to be kind!
But...
Mrs. An seized the chance of survival and gritted her teeth and said: "Master, you just promised to save the lives of the An family!"
Xiao Yi looked at Mrs. An steadily, frowned, and sneered slightly, not sure if he was laughing or snorting.
At that moment, he released the kind of murderous aura created by fighting and tempering on the battlefield, which made it almost impossible to breathe, as if even the air in the room had solidified.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xiao Yi’s faint voice sounded again in the room: “I always keep my word!”
After saying that, Xiao Yi walked out of the study.
An Pinling and the others seemed to have been drained of energy in an instant. They collapsed to the ground, finally relieved.
Since the prince said that he kept his word, then their lives were saved.
As for the future, take it step by step and keep the green hills, even if there is no firewood!
After Xiao Yi left the study, he saw Chang Huaixi waiting outside and saluted him with clasped fists.
"Have you found it?" Xiao Yi asked as he walked forward.
"Found it." Chang Huaixi followed closely and replied, "In mid-August, the An family sent people to the vicinity of Liuyuan Mountain a hundred miles away. There is a Shanling Town there. The people in the town He was infected with smallpox, and now the whole town has been sealed off. Anjia has a pharmacy in that area, and he used the time he sent to the doctor to get the pus from the acne..."
Chang Huaixi reported expressionlessly, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
On the battlefield, everyone has their own swords and guns, and everyone relies on their abilities, but the smoke in this inner house is calm and insidious!
With one careless decision, many lives were lost in a "war" that was inhumane to outsiders.
"The An family likes Shanling Town so much, let them go there."
Xiao Yi said lightly and strode away from An Mansion without looking back.
He will never come to this place again!
