Chapter 70: Intercession (2)
Back in the mansion, as soon as Xinyue walked to the backyard, he felt a gloomy cloud in the backyard, which made Xinyue come all the way, and his elated emotions were suppressed.
Walking into Cao's room, Cao was lying on the couch with one hand on her forehead, and the girl next to her was loosening her muscles and bones, thinking that she was unwell.
"Sister-in-law" heard Xinyue call her, and Cao's sister-in-law opened her eyes and looked at Xinyue, "It's back." ”
"Sister-in-law, I have good news."
"I can't see your brother left and right, I don't know if he is alive or dead, what good news can there be." Cao is not a person who does not get into trouble, but she doesn't know what to do for a while.
Xinyue sat beside her, waved her hand to make the maids around her retreat, and said in a low voice, "I begged the Queen Mother, and we can go to see my brother tomorrow." ”
"Really, really?" Cao didn't seem to believe it, but this was said by Xinyue, so it was much more credible, "Really? I'm finally able to see your brother, quick, come, quick, get food and good medicine, I..."
"Sister-in-law, when I left the palace, Marquis Jiang specially stopped me and asked me to bring only clean clothes to my brother, and there was no need for anything else. Also, this matter can only be known to you, tomorrow, I will let my henchman Wang drive a car, and you and I can go. ”
"I, how can I go out without my mother-in-law and attendants?" Cao's is a well-behaved lady, from childhood to adulthood, she is surrounded by a group of people.
Xinyue grabbed her, but also to stabilize her emotions, "Sister-in-law, this is the only way to see my brother." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Sister-in-law Cao felt the strength of the new moon and nodded.
"And this matter, sister-in-law, you must not tell anyone" Xinyue darkened her gaze, and Cao Shi felt that things were not ordinary, and nodded solemnly.
Although His Majesty did not say it explicitly, and he was angry, he took pity on his brother's young children and cared for his mother, so he would not kill his brother. But remember, you must remember clearly, you are not allowed to talk to anyone, your confidants, "
"Really? So why? Cao Shi was excited at first, and then asked a little embarrassed.
"If, if it is just a little rumor, and His Majesty knows about it, he will not be able to get over his face and anger in his heart, and he will definitely not let go of his brother. Sister-in-law, if my brother is beheaded, it is your fault with me. ”
"Okay, okay, I got it." Cao Shi is not a stupid person either, she took note of Xinyue's words, turned around and began to pack things for Xu Xintai.
On the second day, Xinyue and Cao sat in a small carriage, in order not to attract people's eyes, the two were also plain clothes and silver hairpins, sitting in the small carriage, and only Wang Da was the only one to catch the car.
At this time, two more streets will go out of the city, and the Cao family is carrying a big bag in his hand, which is full of things for Xu Xintai, and he also saw it when the new moon came, only clothes, and a bag of beef that he loves to eat.
Xinyue touched her chest, brought the silver and silver tickets of the servant, and said to Cao, "We can't stay too long, sister-in-law, don't cry, so as not to attract people's eyes." ”
After yesterday's incident, Cao Shi understood Xinyue's ability and sincerity, and he was obedient to her, nodded and said, "I know, I'll try my best." ”
"Sister-in-law, you have to cheer up. My niece and nephew are still young, and although my brother is exempt from the death penalty, it is difficult to escape the living crime, so whether we will be exiled or imprisoned in the future, our family will have to take care of each other, if you can't hold on, how should the two children survive? ”
Cao Shi listened and nodded, "Xinyue, don't worry, your brother told me about his mother, I will never be a second mother, if I lose my husband, I won't be able to live, leaving my children behind." I just haven't seen your brother, I don't know his life and death, my heart is unstable, and when I see your brother later, I'll know what to do. ”
"If only you could understand." Saying that, Xinyue took the initiative to take her hand for the first time, and Cao Shi also tried hard to hold it back, and the relationship between the two of them was pulled in.
North Camp, it should be a military camp, and the new moon is the first time to come. Naturally, as a woman, if it weren't for such a thing, she wouldn't be able to get one step closer to the military camp in this life, so she and the Cao family, under the leadership of Jiang Yang, the second son of Jiang Houye, walked from the back camp of Beiying, through some hidden paths, to a corner of Beiying, where prisoners are held.
The further he went, the more he was frightened, and the Cao family was no better, so he could barely move forward by relying on the support of the new moon.
After walking for about a stick of incense, through a wooden fence, Xinyue saw Xu Xintai locked in a wooden cage behind the fence.
The tall Xu Xintai was locked in a wooden cage more than one meter high, and he could only sit on the ground with his knees hugged, his legs couldn't be stretched, and the clothes on his body were covered with blood, no wonder Marquis Jiang asked Xinyue to bring him clothes.
Xu Xintai also raised his eyes and saw the Cao family after the crescent moon, and then roared angrily, "Although you brought your sister-in-law to this kind of place." ”
"General Xu, keep your voice down, my father explains, don't alarm anyone. Otherwise, the reputation of your wife and her sister will be jeopardized, and you may suffer even more. As soon as he heard that it would involve the two of them, Xu Xintai lost his voice, and gave Jiang Yang a salute, "Thank you, Uncle Shi." ”
"Madam, you two hurry up, there is only time for a stick of incense." With that, Jiang Yang turned around and went to wait outside the fence.
As soon as Jiang Yang left, the Cao family couldn't hold it anymore and threw himself in front of Xu Xintai's wooden cage, "Master Hou, Master Hou... How can this be? ”
Seeing that his wife was crying, Xu Xintai also lowered his head that had been holding high, "Fu'er, don't cry." It's me who is too impatient and reckless, but I don't regret it. ”
As he spoke, Xu Xintai opened his arms and revealed the brocade box he had been holding, "I cut off Zili's head with my own hands, Xinyue, this is my father, this is our father." Xinyue, I'm dead, I also have face, go to see my father. ”
Xinyue listened, she couldn't control her crying anymore, she reached out and touched the brocade box through the gap of the wooden cage, the brocade box carried Xu Xintai's temperature, and Xu Xintai also stroked Xinyue's hand for the first time.
Xu Xintai said, "When I die, I will be buried with my father and me." The two children will definitely suffer a little in the future, but you and your sister-in-law, you have to be good and tell them what I have done. Although I, although I have been a burden to others, I am also..."
"Big brother, you won't die, I won't allow such a thing to happen. Even if I die, I can't lose another relative, brother, you are the only relative in my world. ”
"Silly girl, how are you alone, you still have those two children, your nephews and nieces. Your sister-in-law is careless, your aunt taught you very well, you will definitely be able to support our Xu family, don't let such a thing happen in the future, I have already settled the grievances. ”
