Chapter 542: Thorough Investigation
"Magnolia, you silly girl."
An Xiabai seemed to understand Yulan's intentions, maybe she wanted to use this way to let Lu Li do it to herself, so that she would no longer have to bear this contradictory emotion, and she would not have to bear the cold night and the eyes of outsiders alone.
Magnolia's tears flowed down her nose and reached the corners of her mouth. She thought that other people's tears were salty, but only her own were bitter.
Sure enough, less than fifteen kilometers after their carriage had gone on, someone suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the horse. The carriage then stopped, and the two men in the carriage were startled and staggered forward.
"Do you really want to do that?" An Xiabai asked.
"Or else?" A bitter smile crossed Magnolia's face, followed by a tear.
"I'm sorry to scare you." Saying that, Yulan continued to hold An Xiabai hostage.
An Xiabai was kidnapped by Yulan and got out of the car, and the outside of the carriage was full of people brought by Lu Li. Each of them was armed with a bow and arrow, and each of them was facing the direction of Magnolia.
"Lu Li, you really followed." Yulan pulled her Lu Li far away from An Xiabai's Lu Li this time, although she was holding her hostage, but as long as Lu Li's people shot an arrow, she would definitely be hit by an arrow.
"Of course, you took my queen, do I still have to ignore it?"
"Lu Li, you are a good emperor, but you are not good to our family." Magnolia repeated the sentence again.
"Yulan, I said that I would help you overturn the case and find out what happened back then. Why do you have to be obsessed? Lu Li didn't understand why Yulan wanted to force himself to a dead end, he could obviously take Yulan back to the capital to thoroughly investigate the events of the year. If it was really his own mistake back then, he was willing to admit his mistake and compensate Yulan.
"Lu Li, you have to remember what you said, you are the emperor, Chrysostom Yuyan, you have to do what you say!"
After speaking, the knife on Yulan's neck, which was still more than An Xiabai's neck, suddenly pointed at herself and stabbed hard into her abdomen.
"Magnolia, Magnolia!" An Xiabai thought that Yulan would let Lu Li's men shoot arrows to kill her, but she never thought that Yulan would commit suicide.
She held the fallen Magnolia tightly in her arms, even if the girl in front of her put herself in danger many times, she just couldn't hate her.
"Why are you so stupid?" An Xia Bai cried in the dark until she fainted. When she woke up, she felt only pain all over her body, and her throat was dry and she couldn't speak.
"Queen, are you awake?" Lu Li originally fell asleep on her lap, but An Xiabai woke up as soon as he moved.
"Where's Magnolia, how is Magnolia?" She grabbed Lu Li's arm tightly, and Lu Li, she cried out that it hurt.
"She's dead." Lu Li's words undoubtedly put An Xiabai in a desperate situation, why is this happening. In fact, she knew that Magnolia's intention was to die, but she felt that she could save her.
"I'm sorry, I ......" Lu Li apologized, An Xiabai motioned him to stop talking, and let him go out and calm down for a while.
Lu Li ordered people to pack up their things quickly, and they must return to the capital as soon as possible. He didn't want An Xiabai to stay here, but also went back as soon as possible to find out the case of the year, if there was really any problem, he must solve it as soon as possible.
"We'll go back to the capital tomorrow!" Lu Li pushed the door, An Xiabai was already asleep, but her brows were still deeply locked, which made Lu Li feel distressed.
The next morning, they went back, and on the way An Xiabai didn't say a word, just sat quietly or fell asleep, and didn't even eat.
In the evening, they arrived at the palace, and An Xiabai proposed to go to the Peach Blossom Temple to see Yang Xiao, and Lu Li agreed.
"You're back?" Seeing An Xiabai, Yang Xiao was naturally very happy. Although she stayed in the Peach Blossom Temple, she felt very peaceful in her heart, and she no longer thought about those messy things. But there are no acquaintances around to talk to, so she really finds it boring. She knew that An Xiabai must have encountered a lot of interesting things when she went out this time, so she wanted to ask, but An Xiabai's reaction to her made her worried.
"I didn't encounter anything interesting along the way, but I experienced a lot of thrilling things." An Xiabai didn't have the slightest expression on her face when she spoke, as if those things had never been experienced by her.
"What's wrong? Is there something unhappy about you? Yang Xiao held her hand, but found that An Xiabai's hand was cold, which could be said to be cold to the bone.
Next, An Xiabai told her everything that happened during this time, Yang Xiao nodded, understanding what An Xiabai was thinking.
"Don't think about it so much, I know what you mean, but I also understand what Miss Magnolia thinks. She has lived alone in this world since she was a child, and she is very lonely. She actually wants to avenge her family, but you all already know about it. Didn't she also tell you, she thinks that the emperor is quite wise, so she is willing to choose to believe you. But she didn't want to survive alone in this cold world. Death is a terrible thing, but for her, loneliness is the most terrifying thing in the world. ”
She hugged An Xiabai tightly in her arms, and she could feel that her body was trembling, which showed that this incident brought An Xiabai more than just horror.
"I know what she thinks, but I just feel sorry for her, pity her, she is still so young, she shouldn't give up her life easily."
An Xiabai cried again, she didn't talk to Lu Li all day today, she didn't know if she was blaming her or blaming herself.
"I want to stay here with you for a few days, maybe that will give me real peace of mind." Yang Xiao nodded and comforted her for a while.
And Lu Li ordered someone to investigate the case of the year as soon as he went for a while, and specially told everyone that he must be careful and careful to investigate, and not to make any mistakes.
And things are exactly the same as what Yulan told her, the Bai family was really framed back then. And Lu Li had just become the emperor at that time, and he was really lacking in skills, so he handed over this matter to the officials under his command to do. Who knows that not only did they not seriously investigate the case according to their own requirements, but instead framed them.
"It's my fault." Lu Li almost didn't sleep all night, he didn't expect that he would really become the faint king in Yulan's mouth. Since becoming the emperor, Lu Li has been diligent in serving the people. He wanted to be a good emperor and let the people of the whole country live a good life.
He can't face the dead Bai family, he can't face Yulan, he can't face his queen, but the last thing he can face is his own heart.
He ordered someone to prepare a car overnight and came to the Peach Blossom Temple. At that time, An Xiabai had already fallen asleep, so he didn't bother her. Even if it was really his own mistake, he had to be honest with An Xiabai. It was his own mistake that he accidentally killed a generation of loyal ministers. It was her own mistake that made Yulan have no parents since she was a child. It was his own mistake again, which frightened his queen on this journey.
An Xiabai didn't want to pay attention to him when she learned that Lu Li came over, even if the affairs of the Yulan family had nothing to do with him, she was willing to believe Lu Li, but Yulan still died.
"How's it going?" She was a little distant, and it had been half a month since the last time the two met.
"It's all clear, it's my fault." Lu Li lowered his head and said this, he really didn't know how to face An Xiabai.
"You ......" What An Xiabai was most afraid of still happened.
Lu Li told Du An Xia Bai, who was clear about the cause and effect of the events of that year, although he was not the murderer who directly killed the Bai family, but this matter was absolutely inseparable from himself.
"I have ordered the mastermind and accomplices to be arrested, but I don't know what to do with them, so I came to ask the queen's opinion."
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the emperor will deal with it. The people of the Bai family are dead, and no matter what they do, they will not be able to exchange the lives of the Bai family. Magnolia is still so young, I really can't accept her dying in front of my eyes. ”
At the mention of the Magnolia girl, An Xiabai almost collapsed. At that time, the blood of the Magnolia girl gushed out like a fountain, and she was right next to her and could do nothing. Although these are not his own faults, An Xiabai just feels that Yulan died because of himself.
"Queen, it's me who is sorry for the Magnolia family. I have ordered someone to announce this matter to the world, and return the Bai family to innocence. Although people cannot be resurrected from death, I will give them all the glory they deserve. I also thought about choosing a good cemetery in the palace and moving them here. Every year the town would go to worship them and give them a little more money to burn. ”
An Xiabai shook his head and didn't say anything, just went to sit in the courtyard. She knew that people could not be resurrected from death, and everything they did was in vain.
"Queen, go back with me, the children miss you very much." An Xiabai didn't want to go back to the palace, she wanted to stay here to accompany Yang Xiao, and by the way, let her heart calm down.
"I want to be quiet here for a few days and remember to take care of the kids. When I first go back, I'll naturally go back. Don't blame yourself too much, you have done your best in this matter. ”
An Xiabai comforted Lu Li, and then urged him to hurry back.
Since Yang Xiao came to the Peach Blossom Temple, Lu Fang has also come to see her a few times, but Yang Xiao has closed the door every time, which makes Lu Fang very sad.
"And when are you going to see him?" An Xiabai asked.
Yang Xiao shook his head and said that he didn't know, maybe one day he was in a good mood and would go to see him when he wanted to see him.
An Xiabai smiled and said that both of them were so old and still like children.
"Feelings, you can see the truth after a long time, and plain is true." Yang Xiao said that the head was the Tao, but the heart hurt as if there was a hand holding it.
"Okay, I won't urge you, if you want to go back, if you want to stay, you stay, anyway, I'm here with you, what are you afraid of."
The two sisters sat under the peach blossom tree and drank tea, talking about the past and the future. Say it happened, say it didn't happen, in short, it's not pleasant!
