It takes half a month for the messenger to travel from Yanzhou Mansion to Xuanzhou Mansion, and people like Xie Yong who carry a cage of pigeons with him are a minority after all, so he calculated the date and asked Cao Qian to secretly go south with a group of Yanzhou troops disguised as rogue robbers, and guard near the boundary between Yanzhou and Xuanzhou.

According to Zhiying's prior arrangement, the grain was placed in a secret cave outside the city, and the more than 1,000 soldiers stayed behind to guard it, and Cao Qian returned to Yanzhou Mansion like a person and continued to take everyone to farm.

A few days later, when the food scheduled to arrive did not arrive, Cui Yi pretended to lose his temper and wrote a letter to question Xie Xiao in person.

Xuanzhou Mansion. Xie Zhai.

"What? Zichang took refuge with the prince, and also designed to instigate the prince and Yuchan to get along? After listening to Xie Xiao's words, Ye Shi jumped up from the chair like a chestnut, shocked and angry.

Xie Xiao was holding two letters in his hand, one was a handwritten letter from Cui Yi who had just arrived asking about grain and grass, and the other was a letter of complaint written by Zhiying not long ago imitating Xie Yuchan's handwriting. He handed both letters to his wife: "Look for yourself, see for yourself." ”

Ye grabbed the letterhead, quickly scanned it at a glance, and after reading it, his voice trembled and asked, "These two letters...... When did you receive it? ”

Xie Xiao replied: "The prince's messenger only received it today, and Yuchan's letter arrived half a month ago. ”

When Ye Shi heard this, he immediately covered his heart and shouted bitterly: "You knew half a month ago that your daughter was trapped by that slut's son, and you didn't do anything?" You've been hiding it from me! Yuchan or is it not your biological daughter? Or is this family already the slut in charge, ah? ”

"What are you yelling at!" Xie Xiao was also irritable in his heart, and couldn't help but reprimand, "The letter is just Yuchan's one-sided words, what if she is deceived by the eldest grandson Zhiying, so she mistakenly thinks that Zichang harmed her?" Besides, this letter may not have been written by Yuchan, what if it was forged? ”

Ye couldn't help but cry: "What a forgery, how can it be a forgery!" Don't you recognize your daughter's handwriting? My poor son...... was so badly abused by such a slut, it's useless! My mother can't protect you, my mother is useless! ”

Ye opened his mouth and closed his mouth a slut, Xie Xiao wanted to get angry several times, but he endured it, breathed and breathed repeatedly, barely kept calm, and said: "The grain and grass in the north were robbed, it must have been the emperor who got the news in advance, sent someone to act secretly, and pretended to be a rogue to give me a step, otherwise, maybe it will be a holy decree to remove me from the position of governor of the state, and maybe the whole family will lose their heads." ”

Cui Yi's handwritten letter and the "lucky escape" grain transporter arrived in Xuanzhou Mansion almost at the same time, all the evidence points to the current Holy Emperor, and then according to Xie Yuchan's secret letter accusation, Xie Yong's betrayal of Cui Jie, betraying the whole family for glory is almost a certainty, an undoubted fact, Xie Xiao is no longer willing, and he can only believe it.

"That'...... So what to do? Master, what should I do now? Ye finally realized the seriousness of the problem and asked with tears.

Xie Xiao sighed and sighed, walking around the house, one idea after another came out, and he rejected them one by one.

Emperor Qisheng already knew that he was secretly helping King Wu, although King Wu was transferred to Yanzhou, it seemed that he had lost power, but it could still be seen that Cui Jie was still very wary of this younger brother, and he would never allow him to have any chance to turn over.

Thousands of precautions, the family thief is difficult to prevent, when he wanted to rely on the unintentional words of the filial piety queen before his death, but his son went up to the house to draw a ladder, cut off the back road, for today's plan, except to bow to Cui Yi and firmly hold on to this big tree, there is no other way to go.

And because there was a traitor in the nest, and the daughter ruined her innocence, there was a crack in the friendly relationship between the Xie family and King Wu, in the past, Cui Yi swallowed his anger in front of the Xie family, but in the future, the Xie family could not raise his head in front of Cui Yi, as long as Cui Yi was willing, he could do this matter at any time, and at least he would abolish Xie Yuchan's status as a princess, and at worst he would kick the entire Xie family away, and at that time the Xie family would become cannon fodder sandwiched between Cui Jie and Cui Yi, and Xuanzhou was the land of fish and rice, no matter which side would strike first in the future, will be able to cut down Xuanzhou, and punish the Xie family first!

Xie Xiao's beard turned white with sorrow, and after struggling for a long time, he finally sighed and said, "For today's plan...... I can only apologize to the prince and hand over Zichang to them for arbitrary disposal, as for Yuchan......"

Ye Shi asked nervously, "How is Yuchan?" Master, Yuchan is your own daughter, you must not ignore her, I am just a daughter like her, if she has any mistakes...... Then I don't want to live! "I'm going to cry again.

Xie Xiao was completely impatient: "Okay! Shut up! What's the use of crying? If you cry here, will Yuchan get better? ”

Ye Shi was busy wiping his tears and stopped crying, and asked expectantly, "What does the master have in mind?" ”

"What idea can I have, alas......" Xie Xiao patted his forehead and said with a headache, "You go and write a letter to Yuchan, tell her that the matter has come to this point, and it is irreparable, tell her to be a man with her tail between her legs, and she must not be arrogant in front of the eldest grandson Zhiying, and she must first keep her position as the princess before she can try anything else." ”

Ye felt sorry for his daughter, and said unwillingly: "Our Yuchan is a famous daughter, and she has never suffered any grievances, so the eldest grandson Zhiying is just a concubine, why should she be inferior in front of her......"

Xie Xiao completely exploded at this time, the snuffbox in his hand slammed the ground, and fell apart, Ye Shi was so frightened by the crisp sound that he was silenced, and stood stunned and looked at him.

Xie Xiao roared angrily: "It's just a concubine, it's just a concubine!" You look down on people all day long, where are you noble? If you have the ability, why don't you see the daughter you taught hold the heart of the prince? If it weren't for you looking at Zichang and their mother and son unpleasantly, and you would go to them for trouble if you had nothing to do, how could Zichang betray us and go to the emperor? The root of your own trouble, I still don't know how to repent, I see that you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin! ”

Ye was speechless by his scolding, so he had to write a letter to his daughter aggrievedly, gritting his teeth and thinking about how to punish Xie Yong's biological mother in the future.

On the Yanzhou side, Xie Yong and Xie Yuchan, the brothers and sisters in the palace, also began to develop in the direction of eating when Zhiying was in Xie's house, at first there were four dishes and one soup, two meat and three vegetables, and gradually became one meat and two vegetables, and then two vegetables, and finally only a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles remained.

Xie Yuchan was reluctant to eat at first, but after a whole day of noisy noise, no one paid attention to her, and when it came to dinner, she was so hungry that she had to bite the bullet.

But she was not full after eating, her stomach was rumbling in the middle of the night, Xie Yuchan lay on the bed and remembered the days when she was dressed and fed in the past, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and her tears fell in strings.

"Boom!" Someone knocked on the back window, and Xie Yuchan immediately got up and ran to the window.

The people who came to climb the back window of the madman princess in the middle of the night would have no one else except her brother Xie Yong.

Xie Yongwen is not a martial artist, but he can still climb the wall, and at this moment, while patting the moss and mud on his body, he asked: "Why did you wake up so quickly today?" ”

Xie Yuchan was not in a good mood when she was hungry, so she pushed him hard angrily: "You still ask!" I did as you said, why can't I see the slightest effect? Brother Yingrong didn't come to see me either, and the food was getting worse day by day! I'm so hungry that I can sleep! ”

Xie Yong stood unsteadily, stepped back and almost knocked over the flower pot shelf, covered his waist with one hand and hissed, trying his best to lower his voice: "What are you doing!" I'm just going to ask you, did you write as I said? ”

"I wrote it, I wrote it as you said, and then I gave it to Brother Yingrong."

Xie Yong gasped and asked in disbelief, "What are you doing for him!" I asked you to buy the maid and send it out secretly, and you actually handed it over to him? ”

Xie Yuchan rolled her eyes and said clearly: "I said good things for him, how can I not let him know?" He doesn't know, won't I just say it in vain? ”

Xie Yong almost didn't give her a chance to die, and almost wailed: "My aunt, don't you know what kind of person King Wu is?" You gave him the letter, can he not give it to the eldest grandson? Will the eldest grandson Zhiying give you a chance to please the prince? You've been fighting with her for so long and you've lost everything, why don't you understand? ”

Xie Yuchan was told that he was wrong, but he didn't want to admit it, so he said stiffly: "Then if I don't give it to Brother Yingrong, he doesn't even know that I have the heart to help him, even if the letter is not sent, but at least he has received it with a good heart for him." ”

"Alas...... You let me say what is good about you. Xie Yong held his forehead and choked speechlessly, he hadn't done anything yet, thinking about fighting for merit, and having such a sister was his biggest misfortune.

Now that the food is missing halfway, and the letter of intercession has not been sent, Xie Yongzhi has a sense of pathos that he has no skills to return to heaven, thinking of the letter from the capital, Emperor Qisheng asked himself not only to prevent Cui Yi and the Xie family from being too close, but also to prevent Cui Yi from trusting the eldest grandson Zhiying too much, the difficulty of the task is so high that he almost wants to hit the wall and die.

Xie Yuchan naturally didn't know the grief and indignation in her brother's heart, and when she saw him bowing her head and not saying a word, she asked expectantly: "Then what should we do now?" Brother Yingrong hasn't come to see me since then, is he all entangled by that slut, I can't go anywhere now, brother, you must help me! ”

Xie Yong glanced at her, and his mood was very complicated.

As the eldest son of a concubine, Xie Yong and his biological mother were bullied by the Ye family of the big house, but Xie Yuchan only had such an elder brother as him, although he was a little arrogant to him, compared to her mother, it was always good, and he would think of him if he had good things, Xie Yong couldn't say that he hated her.

But on the other hand, it is undeniable that during the period when he went to the capital to defect to Cui Yi, he obviously did nothing wrong, but because of his sister's drag, he had a very bad impression in Cui Yi's heart, and he had to choose the path of doing things for the prince.

“…… I know, you restrain yourself, don't get into trouble again, I'll think of a way. ”

Xie Yong said helplessly, and walked through the window under his sister's eager gaze.
