"The prince is back! The prince is finally back! ”

With a scream of joy from a servant woman, the Guogong Mansion, which had been nervous for most of the day, suddenly began to boil with joy, and the maids and maids in the rain building who were already desperate and waiting for death were also overjoyed, and they whimpered with joy - the prince returned safely, and they didn't have to wait for death to be buried!

But this joy was not released immediately, because the eldest princess's words still echoed in their ears: "I want you to know who is in charge of this palace, whether it is now or in the future, if you dare to hide anything from this palace, this palace will kill you at any time!" ”

"Don't think that the son of the world can protect you by treating you generously and benevolently, your life can only be in your own hands, depending on whether you are smart or not!"

Different from the happy mood of the servants and maids, the eyes of the eldest princess soon darkened, and the killers she sent out searched for most of the day, but no one found the whereabouts of this stepson, I thought that if he fell into the hands of Jinyiwei, he would definitely die for a lifetime, but I didn't expect him to really be blessed by God and come back safe and sound!

"Mother, have you punished those people in the rain building a little too much today, I'm afraid that the eldest brother will ...... when he sees it."

When following the footsteps of the eldest princess and hurriedly leaving the Tingyu Tower, Xu Mingyan glanced back at the bloody mess on the ground in the courtyard, and couldn't help but ask in trepidation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Bengong just has to let him take a look, if he still insists on doing whatever he wants in the future, don't blame Bengong for disciplining the family law!" The eldest princess snorted coldly, and all the maids and daughters who followed him couldn't help but tremble, and no one dared to make a sound.

When a group of servants cautiously followed her to the front yard, they happened to see Grandpa Guo holding Shizi's hands with a smile on his face and walking towards his east courtyard!

And the son of the world turned out to be ...... It's coming back!

Seeing the tall figure of the prince, as well as the cyan robe that was completely different from Su Ri's dress, all the servants and maids were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths again, and the front yard of the Guogong Mansion that had just been noisy was quiet again, and the young maids looked at this big young master who seemed to have changed into a different person, and they didn't even dare to breathe a little heavier, for fear that if they vomited too much in one breath, the person in front of them would disappear like a dream!

"Shu Xuan is back, and it seems that even his foot disease is completely cured, this is really a great joy in our Guogong Mansion!" The eldest princess was the first to break the silence of the middle of the night.

After hearing this, Wei Guogong was a little impatient in his heart, but he also replied very gently: "Since Shu Xuan has returned safely, today's matter will be over, everyone should go back to their own courtyard to rest!" ”

After speaking, he turned his head and said to Xu Shuxuan very kindly: "Go, go to the study with my father, my father has something to ask you!" ”

As she was pulling her son away, the eldest princess's voice sounded again.

"Wait, as soon as Shu Xuan disappeared, the people of the entire Guogong Mansion looked for him in a panic for a day, shouldn't he explain where he went and what he did today?" She asked.

Xu Rui, the Duke of Wei, suddenly changed his face, and even shouted angrily at the eldest princess: "Why do I have to explain to you what my son does, Your Royal Highness the Princess, Shu Xuan is still the prince of this country after all, he has his own freedom and the right to retain privacy, you don't have to ask him everything, it's right to be a mother's son of discipline, but don't be too aggressive!" ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Rui flicked his long sleeves, and then pulled Xu Shuxuan and strode forward, at this time, the eldest princess actually sneered and said: "After so many years, Grandpa Guo finally said a sincere word to the palace, I thought that your father and son would always be disguised!" ”

Xu Rui's footsteps froze suddenly, and his expression became a little depressed and angry.

"Xu Rui, if it weren't for the royal brother's marriage, you thought that the palace would be willing to marry you, and you have been away for a long time all these years, and the palace has worked hard to help you take care of the affairs of the back house, and say good things in front of the imperial brother, and retain your foundation in the court, but how have you treated the palace all these years?"

On the surface, they respect each other like guests, but in fact, they haven't even entered her room, they just don't want the son she gave birth to to pose a threat to him, the eldest son who lost his mother!

Of course, she couldn't say such things in front of so many people.

"This palace said this, just to give your precious son a reminder, he doesn't want to live it's his own business, don't break into the catastrophe and pull the people of the entire Guogong Mansion to be buried with him! Otherwise—"

The eldest princess was stunned, looked at Xu Rui, the Duke of Wei who was staring at her angrily, smiled coldly, and continued: "Brother Huang gave me the sword of Shang Fang, and I have the right to cut first and then play!" ”

Xu Rui's face turned pale with anger, and he spit out two words from between his teeth: "You dare!" ”

The eldest princess still didn't change her face, and replied with a sneer: "The country has national laws, the family has family rules, as long as your son dares to do it, this palace will also have the power to share the worries and kill the traitors for the king!" ”

As soon as the eldest princess's voice fell, Xu Shuxuan and Nan Chu's faces changed - could it be that even the eldest princess knew about what they were going to do?

Xu Rui was even more furious, and shouted: "What are you talking nonsense!" ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I am sorry for you all these years, you hate me, or kill me with your Shang Fang sword, I have nothing to say, but please don't splash dirty water on my son, I think you want to put this anti-thief hat on my son, and you want to drag the people of the entire Guogong Mansion to be buried together!"

When Xu Mingyan heard this, he was so anxious that he cried, and while begging Wei Guogong, he persuaded the eldest princess and said, "Father, mother, don't quarrel anymore, it's a happy event for the eldest brother to return safely, why make such a fuss?" As he spoke, he whispered in the eldest princess's ear, "Mother, I've been putting up with it for so many years, why bother to let people see such jokes until now!" Forget it! ”

The eldest princess glared at Xu Rui, endured for a moment, and then shook off the dust angrily, turned around and strode towards her courtyard, and before leaving, she also deliberately gave an order: "What this palace said to the grandfather of the country today, if someone dares to spread half a sentence, this palace will punish his whole family!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" All the servants were so frightened that they hurriedly fell to the ground, and even kowtowed their heads to answer yes, and after the eldest princess left, some even trembled so much that their legs were weak, and they couldn't even stand up.

Xu Rui let out a long sigh, but still took his son into the study together, and told Nan Chu to wait outside, refusing to let everyone come to disturb.

There was silence in the study for a long time, and the father and son were relatively speechless.

In the end, it was Wei Guogong who spoke first: "Shu Xuan, you have been very smart and assertive since you were a child, and your father has never taken care of you, and you have never told your father what you do, but now, you must give me an explanation!" ”

"What's going on with your feet? What exactly have you been working on lately? And ......" Xu Rui flashed a slightly embarrassed look on his face, and asked in a low voice, "Do you also know that Nangong Linglong is Yang Ling's girl disguised and pretended, is there a ...... between you and that girl?"

"Father!" Xu Shuxuan immediately interrupted solemnly, "I don't care what you've heard, but the slander of a girl's reputation shouldn't come from our country's mansion!" ”

When Xu Rui heard this, a look of shame appeared on his face.

Xu Shuxuan said again: "I know what my father wants to ask, and I will explain it all to you in a while, but now my son also happens to need his father's help with one thing." ”

"Whatever you say!" Xu Rui hurriedly answered.

Xu Shuxuan raised his head, his clear eyes showed a look of determination, and he said very seriously: "I want my father to go to the Yang family to propose marriage on my behalf!" ”

"Propose? To whom to propose? Do you mean Yang Ling's girl? Xu Rui's face was full of surprise, and he asked repeatedly.

Xu Shuxuan nodded.

Xu Rui's face immediately changed, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, Shu Xuan, I don't care how bad this girl's reputation is in the capital, just judging from her marriage with the eldest son of the Lu family, you must not marry her!" Lu Bing is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the people of the Lu family had better not have anything to do with them! ”

"She has this family affair with the Lu family, I have persuaded Lu Bing to retreat, and the news will spread all over the capital at the latest!"

Xu Shuxuan's words fell, and Wei Guogong exclaimed sharply, his face turned pale.

"What! You persuaded Lu Bing to quit? What do you mean is that you disappeared for a day today, and you went to the Lu family, and you went to the Lu family to persuade Lu Bing to quit his family? What are you doing this for? ”

"Is it for Yang Ling's girl?" Xu Rui asked in a series of questions.

After Xu Shuxuan pondered for a moment, he replied very calmly.

Xu Rui suddenly showed disbelief and helplessness on his face.

"Shu Xuan, you have always been a very smart and calm child, you never act impulsively, why are you ...... in this matter" Speaking of this, Xu Rui couldn't help but paced around the room a little overwhelmed, "Lu Bing, we can't afford to offend!" ”

"If Grandpa was alive, he wouldn't have said such a thing!"

Xu Shuxuan suddenly took this sentence, which made Xu Rui stunned abruptly, and the room gradually fell into a sad and cold silence.

After a long time, Xu Rui whispered with guilt: "Shu Xuan, are you still blaming me for not saving your sister fourteen years ago and not saying a word of justice for the Jiang family?" ”

The knot that has been between father and son for many years was finally revealed at this moment, Xu Shuxuan felt a stagnation in his chest, and a suffocating pain welled up in his heart.

"Father, I don't want to talk about the past!" He interrupted in a low voice.

Xu Rui lowered his eyes gloomily and sighed.

"Eh, it's not that my father has to scare you, in fact, before this girl and the Lu family were married, my father also wanted to propose marriage for you, but now, now this girl is not only involved with the Lu family, but also with King Jing...... Shu Xuan, my father just doesn't want you to get involved in those dark battles anymore, you know? ”

"I've lost a daughter and don't want to ...... anymore," Xu Rui said this, his voice a little choked.

Xu Shuxuan's heart trembled slightly, and he fell silent.

After another moment, he said: "Father, what you said is just your superfluous worries and fantasies, and I also know that your fantasies are all derived from those hearsay rumors, what kind of person is Ah Ling, maybe you don't fully understand, but what kind of person Linglong is, these days, you have also seen and contacted with your own eyes, do you also think that she is the same as in the rumors?" ”

What kind of person is Linglong? Xu Rui couldn't help but think about it carefully, that girl was extremely delicate, and knew how to think about others everywhere, in order to cover up people's eyes for Shu Xuanye's illness, she completely disregarded her reputation, well-behaved and sensible, and very smart and clever, he had to admit that such a girl was also very pleasing to him, but was that the real her? Why is it said so unbearable in the mouth of the smoke and the scarlet smoke?

"She pretended to be Linglong to come to our Guogong Mansion to do something wrong, this girl's mind is not ordinary!" He said.

"But do you know why she pretended to be Nangong Linglong?" Xu Shuxuan asked rhetorically, "She just wants to gain your trust, so that she has the opportunity to come to this Guogong Mansion, in order to cure my illness, she has now become the eyes of the eldest princess, and she almost encountered an accident, she and the eldest prince of the Lu family are married, but also because after I was sick, I was kidnapped by Jinyiwei on the way home, and then I was forced to marry Lu Yanzhao!" ”

"Father, you only see the bad in this one thing, have you forgotten her life-saving grace to your son!"

When Xu Rui heard this, he was quite shocked, and said in surprise: "The grace of saving lives? ”

"Yes, my son has been feeling much better than before recently, and he doesn't feel a headache and faint anymore, and my feet are also made by her, isn't this a life-saving grace?" Xu Shuxuan replied.

Xu Rui's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he was so ecstatic and excited that he was about to cry.

"You mean, she made your feet? Are you getting better? Can she really cure you? ”

As if a surprise fell from the sky, the haze in Xu Rui's heart was suddenly replaced by sunshine, and he asked repeatedly.

Xu Shuxuan nodded and smiled, and said, "Yes, father, you haven't seen the real Ah Ling, if you see her, you may feel that your son is not worthy of her!" ”

"What nonsense? My son is a unique and famous talent in the world, and even the emperor is full of praise every time he mentions it, in this world, there will be people my son is not worthy? Xu Rui said this, but thought in his heart: Since this girl can cure Shu Xuan's illness, it is also a good thing to marry her into the family, maybe he should find a chance to take a good look at this girl again.

Thinking of this, Xu Rui's mind flashed, and he immediately remembered something, so he said: "Shu Xuan, it will be your birthday in a few days, why don't your father put on a banquet for you this year, and also take advantage of this time to invite Mrs. Yang's mother and daughter to the Guogong Mansion as guests, okay?" ”

As soon as these words fell, Xu Shuxuan's face sank again, for him, his birthday was not a day worth celebrating, although his mother did not die on this day, but she also died because of him.

Xu Rui saw that there was not much joy on his son's face, and naturally thought of his deceased wife, in order to give birth to an heir to Xu Rui, Nangong Clan, who was no longer suitable for reproduction, adopted a very dangerous method to conceive this son and gave birth to him, originally Nangong Clan gave birth to a son and there were no signs of hemorrhage in the body for a few days, but he didn't expect that after twenty days, his lower body suddenly bled more than once, and he invited a number of imperial doctors to rob him, but he did not save his wife's life.

It can be said that his son's life was bought by his wife Nangong herself, which is an unspeakable pain for him and his son.

After Xu Shuxuan groaned for a while, he seemed to have figured out something, and replied: "It's okay, just take this opportunity to spread the news that my foot disease has been cured, so as not to spread some bad rumors in the capital!" ”

It's time to face those enemies head-on!
