At this moment, Wang Xunyi saw the hesitation in her eyes, the kind of hesitation that had never appeared in the girl's eyes before. I don't know why, when Wang Xunyi saw this look, there was such an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

Wang Xunyi remembered this look, which was clearly the hesitation he showed when he faced Yafu's initiative before. And this time, Yafu took the initiative to hesitate first.

He slowly lowered his slightly open hands, and Yafu also stopped beside him, looked at him with a smile and said, "Come back, it's cold, let's go in quickly!" And in the corner of Yafu's eyes, Wang Xunyi saw a trace of tears, like the starry sky of the vast Milky Way, deep and beautiful.

Yafu put on his clothes for him and gently held his hands, Wang Xunyi did not say much, and slowly walked out of his own steps, and entered the mansion with Yafu.

Returning to the mansion, Wang Xunyi did not return to the room after simply freshening up, but came to the study, and began to meditate on how Nan Ke Lin would end the matter about the Fang and Li families.

The quiet moment of being alone did not last long when there was a knock at the door, and a man said outside: "My lord, there are dozens of ministers outside the palace who want to see you." ”

"What !!" Wang Xunyi was also shocked, he knew very well that there was nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace, not to mention that it was such a coincidental time, the Fang and Li families had just been eradicated, and they came to find him, and their intentions were already so obvious that they couldn't be more obvious.

Wang Xunyi hesitated in the room for a while, and then heard the people outside the room call tentatively: "My lord? ”

He stood in front of the door, put his hands on the doorknob, hesitated for a while, and was very helpless, and his eyebrows were slightly locked, quite embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Bring them to the study......"

"Yes." The servant departed.

In fact, Wang Xunyi himself had already guessed that it was destined not to be so simple tonight when he eradicated the Fang and Li families, but there were so many people here, if there were only a few for Wang Xunyi, he would still be able to deal with it a little, after all, it was the monarch who made the final decision, not himself. But with so many people coming, Wang Xunyi couldn't help but worry that he would not be able to suppress the situation.

"Eh, wait!" Wang Xunyi suddenly called out to the departing subordinates.

After a little deliberation, he commanded: "Forget it, I'll go out to meet them, lest they be too noisy and disturb Madame and Xun'an." ”

When the subordinates heard this, they retreated, and Wang Xunyi also walked out of the study, and came to the door of the mansion along the aisle with a solemn face.

There is still some distance from the mansion gate, and I haven't even seen a figure, but it is already noisy, and it is full of nothing more than "what to do" and other words, just listening to such anxious words, as well as the panicked footsteps, Wang Xunyi himself can already imagine the expressions of those ministers.

must have been so panicked that he couldn't do it, and when he saw them, the ministers would definitely be calling him while hurriedly kneeling down and kowtowing, constantly begging Wang Xunyi to help them no matter what.

Wang Xunyi's fantasy plot in his mind is like this, and he is helplessly waiting with a more expectant mood......

Sure enough, the first figure appeared in Wang Xunyi's sight, followed by a dense figure behind him, looking at the battle, there were also twenty or thirty people.

And they seemed to have all discussed, and the first thing they saw when Wang Xunyi came out was to raise his hands and shout: "Help, my lord!" While saying that, they also quickly knelt down, knelt down one after another, and kept begging: "My lord, you must take our lives!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Xunyi also quietly sneered extremely sarcastically, and then looked at the ministers who were now in front of him one by one.

"Hubu Shilang, Che Cavalry General, Zhenxi General, Prison Officer, Tuntian Commander......" The more people he saw, the more ugly Wang Xunyi's expression became, but he himself always suppressed the anger in his heart.

After a period of time, Wang Xunyi finally remembered the faces of these people, and then asked with some doubts: "Are they all here?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they also looked at each other and remained silent, but it was Wang Xunyi who asked in confusion: "What's the matter?" ”

I saw that the leader of the group of ministers said ashamedly: "It's not all, there are also some ministers who feel that their official position is high enough and their status is important enough, so the monarch will not treat them well, so they are not worried about what will happen next......"

Wang Xunyi shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and mocked softly: "You can't teach your children, and you can't carve rotten wood." When he sighed, everyone's eyes were already focused on Wang Xunyi.

However, Wang Xunyi raised his head to look at this kind of person and asked jokingly: "Why don't you stay at home like them, everything is as usual?" ”

Faced with Wang Xunyi's question, the ministers present were all ashamed, and they all stopped begging, just knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and didn't want Wang Xunyi to notice the change in their expressions.

"I know why!" Wang Xunyi said helplessly, then got up, came to everyone, lowered his head and looked at their heads and said, "Because you are afraid!" Why are you afraid, because you don't know what the monarch will do with the people who have a relationship with the Fang and Li families! Therefore, you are afraid that you will not be able to sleep and eat, you are afraid that you will be held accountable for saving yourself, you are afraid of being demoted, you are afraid of being dismissed, you are afraid of being infamous for a lifetime, and even people who have never spoken a few words to me in the court will come to me to beg me......"

The crowd remained silent, stubbornly bowing their heads.

"Why didn't you think about the consequences when you got together with the Fang and Li families? and the Fang and Li families did those things that hurt heaven and reason, and then they also protected each other, why didn't you turn back when you formed a party for personal gain? Now that something has happened, you know that you are an afterthought, and you are coming to me for help? What are you and me, I am the same as you, I am all the courtiers of the monarch, I am all a chess piece, it is not I who can decide your life and death? It's the monarch, it's the monarch above you! ”

After that, Wang Xunyi turned around and stopped talking, but the ministers behind him were still kneeling on the ground and unwilling to leave, stubbornly begging Wang Xunyi with their eyes.

Without any movement, Wang Xunyi already knew that these people would not give up so easily, but if he wanted to tell the truth, in fact, even if Wang Xunyi promised to save them or say that he would take their lives, he didn't know what to do.

After thinking about it, Wang Xunyi still decided to tell the truth, only to see Wang Xunyi turned around and looked at everyone very resolutely: "The words have already been said for this part, so I hope you can understand......"

But before the words were finished, someone guessed that Wang Xunyi would reject them, and then started an emotional offensive again, and cried and shouted: "My lord, we have known each other since the first day we entered this court, and I am also an old man who has been in this Southern Dynasty for decades, you can't bear to watch your colleagues in the fire and water, not to mention that we have not done anything harmful to the Southern Dynasty except for some contact with the Fang and Li families, if the monarch severely punishes us and others, and depose our official positions, Then the Southern Dynasty will be paralyzed all of a sudden! ”

Wang Xunyi clearly understood what this person said in his heart, whether it was public or private, Wang Xunyi should pull them at this time and rescue them from the quagmire.

For a while, the emotional offensive of these people turned out to be a little overwhelming for Wang Xunyi, and his expression was also very dilemma, but he still had to make a decision.

After a very fierce inner struggle, Wang Xunyi also made his own decision and promised: "I will try to protect you with the monarch tomorrow, but I can only do my best, I can't grasp whether it will succeed or not." But I can warn you first, you should be very prepared as soon as you go home, this matter will not end so easily, and the monarch himself has other arrangements. That's all I can say. After that, Wang Xunyi entered the mansion, and then asked the guards to close the door of the mansion immediately.

However, after receiving Wang Xunyi's verbal promise, everyone was already happy, and they all stood up, ecstatic and sighed that things were still taking a turn for the better, and not long after, everyone gradually scattered.

However, not far from the mansion, from the moment Wang Xunyi left the mansion, there was a relatively thin figure hiding in the corner, silently observing the whole process of the whole thing, and she kept repeating the words that everyone said in her mouth to ensure that she could remember it more clearly......
