Chapter 175: Response
The side hall was quiet, and after about half a burnt of incense, Empress Dowager Cao let out a long breath and sat up.
Cao Xuan hurriedly made a deaf look.
Empress Dowager Cao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said, "Ah Xuan, I have thought about it carefully. Whether Jiang Xian eloped with Li Qian or was kidnapped by Li Qian, no one could tell clearly if he didn't see these two people, and he couldn't count them. She said, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, revealing a little hideous, "And even if Li Qian kidnapped Jiang Xian, who saw it? Who can testify? Who dares to guarantee that Jiang Xian didn't beat Li Qian because he eloped with Li Qian and regretted it?"
Cao Xuan's heart was pounding, and he lost his voice: "You, you mean ......"
The little hideousness in the corner of Empress Dowager Cao's eyes spread to her eyebrows: "Li Qian has broken into such a catastrophe, it's too late for us to say anything, don't even think about taking yourself out of anything, I have thought about it carefully, and now the only way is to bite and say that Jiang Xian eloped with Li Qian, so that even if Jiang Zhenyuan wants to give Jiang Xian a head, he can only pinch his nose and admit it." ”
"You, what do you mean?" Cao Xuan suddenly felt bad, feeling as if things were a little out of his control, sliding towards the unknown abyss.
Empress Dowager Cao's eyes flickered, and she said coldly: "I'll ask someone to write a decree for marriage, and you will quickly catch up with Jiang Lu and Wang Zan with this decree, and give this decree to Li Qian before Li Qian opens his mouth to confess." He is a smart man, and naturally knows what is best for him!"
"But in this way......" Cao Xuan was covered in sweat, feeling that he had climbed out of one quagmire and fallen into another.
Wouldn't that hurt Jiang Xian!
The marriage of the royal gift cannot be divorced!
He didn't want his aunt to be sad, he was afraid that his aunt wouldn't be able to stand the blow of the Li family's betrayal, and hoped that his aunt would believe that Jiang Xian had eloped with Li Qian, but he didn't want to force Jiang Xian to marry the robber who kidnapped him for the rest of his life!
As his aunt said, whether Jiang Xian eloped or was kidnapped, it was Jin Xiao and Bai Su's words, and none of them saw Jiang Xian, so they couldn't count. If Jiang Xian was really kidnapped by Li Qian, but his aunt forced Jiang Xian to marry Li Qian, wouldn't he be helping to abuse him!
When the Cao family was in power, although Jiang Xian rejected Cao Xuan many times, he never gave Cao Xuan a good face, but in Cao Xuan's opinion, this is the reaction that a normal person should have. Not only did he not hate Jiang Xian, but he thought Jiang Xian was very cute, like a sister next door, and he didn't know how cute he was compared to those who usually gathered around him to look at his face and no one could tell what his real intentions were.
Later, the Cao family was down, and there were all kinds of people, but Jiang Xian treated him a little gentler than before, probably because he was no longer qualified to marry her.
Her love and hate are so clear, Cao Xuan smiles every time she thinks of it, and she feels rare.
Now that he knew the real reason for the marriage between Cao and Bai from Bai Su, he felt that Jiang Xian was like an awkward little girl, a little sister-he didn't say it in his mouth, but he cared about him in his heart.
He can't let Jiang Xian be forced to marry, and he will end up with the person who hurt him for the rest of his life!
What's the difference between that and death?
No, even worse than death!
He thought of Jiang Xian's arrogant eyes whenever he saw him.
I'm afraid that for her, putting her name and Li Qian together, she will feel a great shame, let alone marrying Li Qian!
"No, no!" Cao Xuan muttered, instinctively objecting, "That's not going to work......
Empress Dowager Cao's gaze turned into a sharp blade and fell on Cao Xuan's body: "Bastard thing, this can't work, that doesn't work, what else can you do? She Jiang Xian is a golden branch and jade leaf, you just picked it up from the wilderness! Jiang Zhenyuan is now a distressed niece, and he didn't figure out whether Jiang Xian eloped with someone or was kidnapped, so he couldn't bear it. When Jiang Zhen and Wang Zan meet Jiang Xian and figure out the facts, you will wait to be broken into thousands of pieces by Jiang Zhenyuan! He is crazy, even the first emperor is afraid, otherwise how could the first emperor give Jiang Xian a newborn little aunt to enjoy the princely fortune, do you think that there is nowhere to spend the money of the imperial court?
"Do you have to be torn apart by Jiang Zhenyuan to regret it?
"This is not up to you.
"If you don't go, I'll let Min Chuan go.
"You can go back to be your aunt of the Beiding Marquis Mansion for me!
"Let's see if the Beiding Marquis Mansion can protect you?
"Look at you kneeling and licking Jiang Zhenyuan's heels, will Jiang Zhenyuan let you go?"
Cao Xuan lowered his head in silence.
His aunt Empress Dowager Cao and Jiang Xian's uncle Jiang Zhenyuan are the kind of people who have the great ambition, perseverance, and ability to catch a cow with their bare hands, and what they want to do will definitely be done.
Cao Xuan had no doubts.
But whether he is or Jiang Xian, they are just people who want to live their own small lives, why do they have to be caught in a dilemma between them?
As long as he thought that the holy decree of forced marriage was brought by himself, he felt very uncomfortable.
But if he didn't go, his aunt would have her own way to make Min Chuan read the edict in the name of righteousness.
Then you might as well go yourself!
Maybe there will be some turning point at that time.
"I listened to my aunt's orders. Cao Xuan said bitterly.
"That's right!" Empress Dowager Cao Daji, seeing Cao Xuan's expression was a little stunned, thinking that the Cao family had already developed when he was born, and he had never known the hardships of the world, coupled with the death of his parents since he was a child, he taught him little, and it was better to grow into this gentle and pure character than to be ruthless and mean, not to mention that this child knew filial piety to her when he fell into such a field, it was really rare, and she should not be too harsh on him.
Some things are slowly taught.
Empress Dowager Cao thought about it, her face became more and more relaxed, and she said softly: "Ah Xuan, I know that you feel uncomfortable, you and Jiang Xian, one lives in the palace because of the Empress Dowager, and the other often goes in and out of the harem because of me, and they can be regarded as growing up together." But there are some things that you have to prioritize. Only when people live well can they have the right to pity others. At this point, you are inferior to Li Qian. Not to mention anything else, just because he kidnapped Jiang Xian under the noses of so many of you, I respect him as a character. So when you go to see him this time, don't treat him as an ordinary son of a general soldier, you should be polite to him......"
Cao Xuan's heart moved when he heard this, and said: "Auntie, Jiang Lu and Wang Zan have already left, they are both from the army, especially Jiang Lu, if I go, Li Qian has already recruited ......."
"No, it won't. Empress Dowager Cao glanced at Cao Xuan and said with certainty, "Ah Xuan, you don't understand." Li Qian and I are very similar. We all came from humble backgrounds, and with that little bit of high branches, we seized the opportunity and came to this day step by step. You can't know the hardships and pains, even at the last moment, as long as you still have the breath, you will not give up, let alone compromise and give in. If Li Qian confessed, it must be Li Qian's death, so that Jiang Lu could press his hand and put his handprint on the confession. ”
