"Mastermind?" Xie Lin muttered, and a strong look suddenly erupted in his eyes, as if to confirm whether Mama Gong had lied to him.

"As long as my father tells me who is behind the scenes, can we be spared?"

Mama Gong lowered her eyes and said softly, "Of course." Mama can assure you. "As for whether Your Majesty is willing to let Xie Yu go, it is another matter.

"Father!" When Xie Lin heard this, he looked at Xie Yu expectantly, and his pitiful eyes still had the shadow of the eldest grandson of the Duke of the Mansion.

Xie Yu laughed miserably, he glanced at his son with affection, and finally closed his eyes: "If you want to kill, you have to chop, listen to it." ”

Xie Yan and a pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed. Xie Yu's reaction was very abnormal. Unless he really doesn't know what's going on.

"Poor boy." Xie Yanhe sighed, and his soft voice revealed a thick compassion: "Lord Shen, I'll leave it to you here." ”

Xie Yanhe got up and walked out of the cell slowly.

Xie Lin looked at Xie Yanhe's back as he left, and he didn't know what was going on.

When Xie Yanhe stepped up the steps, a young man's scream came from far away from inside the cell, which sounded extremely sad.

Xie Yanhe pursed his lips, and his footsteps did not even pause at all.

It wasn't until he left the cell and the sunlight from outside shone in that Xie Yanhe's arms that had been tense relaxed.

Shen Faxing hurriedly followed, and his tone revealed a bit of hesitation: "County Lord, Your Majesty did not order to torture Xie Yu's family......"

When Xie Yanhe heard this, he curled the corners of his lips with a smile: "Don't worry, if Your Majesty is to blame, I will bear it." ”

As soon as Xie Yanhe's words fell, a man dressed as a guard hurriedly came, and after seeing Shen Faxing, he knelt on one knee: "My lord, it's not good, the wife of the prince of Xie Guo's mansion, Cui Shi, touched the pillar and died." ”

"Is Choi dead?" Shen Faxing was shocked.

Even Xie Yanhe was very surprised. It's just that Xie Lin is taken away, and the Cui family will seek death. Don't...... What does Choi know?

"The man was saved, but there was only one breath left."

"Rubbish! There are so many of you, you can't even look at a woman. Shen Fa scolded angrily.

"Lord Shen, can you take me to have a look?" Xie Yanhe said.

"County Lord, please come with me." Shen Faxing's face was solemn. The Boling Cui family is a famous family, and the in-laws are all over the court, and now the concubine of the Cui family who married outside the family has an accident, and I don't know if the Boling Cui family will settle this account on their heads.

The two didn't say anything all the way.

When they arrived outside a side room, the guards guarding the door saw Shen Faxing, and hurriedly asked for peace: "My lord, the doctor is inside." ”

Shen Faxing bowed his head slightly, and made a "please" gesture towards Xie Yanhe.

In the wing, there was no one else in the Xie family, only the Cui family was lying on the bed alone. The wound on her head had been simply bandaged by Lang Zhong, and although she had sprinkled the medicine powder to stop bleeding, it was still bleeding......

Cui's face is like gold paper, his eyes are blank, and he looks like he has more air in and less air out......

"Sister-in-law." Xie Yanhe took off the power fence he was wearing on his head and handed it to Mama Gong on the side.

Cui Shi opened her eyes with difficulty, and after seeing a face like a fairy in front of her, she was stunned: "Yan He, why are you ...... here?"

"Sister-in-law, why can't you think about it so much? Several nephews and nieces still need to be cared for. Xie Yanhe held Cui's cold fingers, and his eyebrows were furrowed.

When Cui Shi heard this, she showed a bitter smile, and she said weakly: "Yan He, I know that our family can't survive ......."

Xie Yan and a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed, and her eyes were gentle: "Sister-in-law, what stupid things are you talking about, why can't you live?" ”

Cui Shi glanced at Xie Yanhe steadily, and tugged at the corners of his lips: "I had long guessed that there would be such a day." ”

After Cui finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, and the sound of breathing became inaudible.

Xie Yanhe squeezed Cui's wrist hard, and instructed the doctor next to him: "Let her hold on for a few more moments, I have something to ask." ”

The doctor who treated Cui's worked in the yamen, and he also worked part-time on weekdays, and when he heard the words, he didn't say much, so he took out a few long needles and stabbed them on Cui's Baihui acupoints and temples respectively.

Cui Shi woke up and turned around, she opened her eyes, and when she saw Xie Yanhe, she smiled lightly: "Sister, this is to make me uneasy." ”

When Xie Yanhe heard this, his expression was unpredictable: "Sister-in-law in the lobby has always been a smart person. My purpose, the lobby sister-in-law must have guessed it. ”

Cui Shi blinked, her face was terrifyingly white, and she looked like she was back in the light.

Cui Shi chuckled: "Yan He, you can't ask anything from me." "She had always been serene, not like a dying man, but like a victor.

"Sister-in-law in the lobby, Ming people don't say secret words. I can keep Brother Lin's them. "Although Xie Yu deserves to die, but Xie Lin and they are the bloodline of the Xie family after all, if they can, Xie Yanhe doesn't want to kill them all.

When Cui Shi heard this, she just shook her head, and she said faintly: "There are no eggs under the nest. My sister doesn't have to comfort me. ”

Xie Yan and his lips pursed slightly. A pair of sparkling eyes floated with a dark color, and she said softly: "As long as I intercede with Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely let Brother Lin and them go." At this point, the lobby sister-in-law can rest assured. ”

Hearing this, Cui's dim gaze seemed to ignite two tiny flames, she looked at Xie Yanhe deeply, and after a while, her expression gradually turned to cold: "If your fate is like this, you can only appoint." ”

Xie Yanhe didn't expect that the two of them would be so oily and salty, she pursed the corners of her lips and said meaningfully: "But in this world, sometimes life is more painful than death." ”

"My sister is threatening me?" Cui's tone was cold, and she closed her eyes: "People die and everything is over." It's a hundred. ”

"The sister-in-law in the lobby is really ruthless." Xie Yanhe's expression was uncertain, she watched Cui Shi gradually swallow her breath, and then turned around and left the room.

"County Lord, what do you think of now?" Shen Faxing's throat was a little dry. The pool of water in the Xie family is deeper than he imagined.

"Lord Shen, don't worry, I will explain this matter to Your Majesty." Xie Yanhe put on the fence again, held Mama Gong's hand and said, "Lord Shen, farewell." ”

"The county lord walks slowly." Shen Faxing sent Xie Yanhe away like a plague god.

When they got to the carriage, Xie Yan and Qianqian sighed: "Mama, I forced the sister-in-law to death." ”

"County lord, the sins created by the big house itself are now just a report and a report." In Mama Gong's heart, she only recognizes the people of the Marquis of Jingping, Xie Han and Xie Yan and her brothers and sisters are the masters of Mama Gong, and the rest of the Xie family's rooms are dead or alive, so Mama Gong will not take it to heart.

Seeing that Xie Yanhe was still a little sad, Mama Gong could only change the topic in a gentle voice: "Young Master Lin was only taken away with his front foot, and Mrs. Shizi's back foot touched the pillar...... The slave suspected that Mrs. Shizi must have known something, so she committed suicide in fear of sin. ”

"Speculation is useless without evidence." Xie Yanhe closed his eyes, and there was still a pleading look in his mind when Brother Lin looked at her.

Xie Yanhe thought that he could handle it calmly, but he still couldn't do it.

After returning home, Xie Yanhe soaked himself in the bath bucket, and Mama Gong took a bath towel to help Xie Yanhe wipe his back.

"County Lord, don't be too anxious, this matter still needs to be thought out slowly." Mama Gong looked at Xie Yanhe and her thoughtful appearance, and couldn't help but feel very distressed.

Xie Yanhe moved his lips, and his eyes were cold: "Mama." At the latest, the case should be settled. ”

Mama Gong was stunned and said tentatively: "You mean...... Your Majesty doesn't want to make a big fuss? ”

Xie Yanhe nodded: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. Your Majesty has his own plans. His Majesty designated the mastermind of the case as Cai Guogong. The eldest uncle was only bewitched by Cai Guogong and did not report Cai Guogong......"

"Your Majesty's move is also for your face." Although she couldn't tell the world about Xie Jin's crimes, Mama Gong felt a little regretful. But the lesser of two evils, the county lord will soon be in charge of the middle palace, and his innocent reputation must not be flawed.

"Mama, you don't understand." Xie Yan smiled, and the cold glint in the peach blossom eyes flashed. Her eyes drooped slightly, and the tails of her raised eyes revealed a trace of coolness, and when she looked down at people, there was a terrifying fierceness.

"Xie Jin colluded with Wei Jian back then, and the prince did not report or hide his personal grievances, which was really unkind. If the matter gets out of the way, it will definitely cause criticism. ”

Xie Yanhe chuckled, his upturned red lips with a thick sneer: "Your Majesty obviously wants to protect the crown prince." ”

"County Lord, what should we do? Just let the prince escape? Mama Gong was suddenly worried. The prince clearly wants to put the county lord and the marquis to death. His Majesty knew this, and chose to do so. Is he still sincere to his own county lord?

Xie Yanhe's eyelashes fluttered, like the fragile wings of a butterfly, and she sighed lightly: "Let's plot the day after tomorrow." ”

Things really developed as Xie Yan and guessed.

The Duke of Cai's mansion conspired against him, assassinated His Majesty on the way back to Beijing, and razed the three clans; Even his in-law Xie Guogong was implicated and died; Xie Guogong's younger brother, Marquis Changxing, was demoted to the marquis. Only the Jingping Marquis Mansion related to it is calm.

Just when everyone in the capital was talking, good news came from the northwest. Xie Han, the general of the expedition to the west, won a great victory, not only picked up the head of the Hui king, but also left the piece of armor killed by the Hui family, and returned to the dynasty on the same day.

For a while, the Jingping Marquis Mansion, which had been deserted for many years, became busy again. The owner of the Hou Mansion was not there, only Xie Yan and a boudoir woman, but this did not stop the enthusiasm of the visitors. The wives and ladies of various families vied with each other to give Xie Yan and a post, which made her so disturbed that she could only hide in Princess Fuqing's mansion.

On this day, the weather was fine, and Princess Fuqing invited Xie Yanhe to swim in the lake together.

The two of them each brought a maid, Princess Fuqing was still with Chunxue, and Xie Yan was with Suzaku.

The painting boat slowly arrived at the center of the lake, and Princess Fuqing looked at the fish hook hanging on the water and sighed softly.

"Yonghe, Hui Guiren committed suicide."

Xie Yanhe was shocked, and couldn't help muttering: "Why hasn't there been any rumor in the palace?" ”

Princess Fuqing smiled bitterly, and her tone revealed a trace of sadness: "The people below reported a violent death, and they were buried in the palace." Even the concubine mausoleum can't enter. The father looked at the face of the two royal sisters, so he asked people to find a tomb in the suburbs of Beijing and bury them hastily......"

Xie Yanhe was a little incredulous: "How could Your Majesty be so ruthless? ”

Princess Fuqing smiled, looked at Xie Yan and a pair of round eyes, and shook her head: "That's because you don't know your father." ”

What Princess Fuqing didn't say was that it was Princess Xianyong and her biological mother, even if the two of them fought to the death, her father never cared. All he cared about was the person opposite him.

Xie Yanhe was speechless, and after a while, he said suspiciously: "Why did Hui Guiren commit suicide?" Is it because she knows the Cui family's plans? ”

"Not really." Princess Fuqing sighed: "Hui Guiren bought off a eunuch named Zhang Sanbao next to my father. The whereabouts of his father are the ...... he revealed to the nobles."

Xie Yan and one point was clear, and she said in shock: "Your Majesty was assassinated, is it a report from Hui Guiren?" But she has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how can she contact outsiders? ”

Hearing this, Princess Fuqing's face gradually turned white, and her slightly raised phoenix eyes looked at Xie Yanhe, and under the sun, the pair of dark pupils looked inexplicable.

Xie Yanhe's tail vertebrae instantly burst into a chill, and she lost her voice: "Could it be ...... Could it be that Your Majesty already knew? ”

Princess Fuqing smiled slightly, but this smile had a bitter taste: "Father is a master of fishing." Yonghe, now, I don't know if the idea of looking forward to you entering the palace is right or wrong. ”

Xie Yanhe lowered her eyes, and two long, thick eyelashes cast two fan-shaped shadows on her eyelids. She looked at her ten fingers, which were as white as jade, and the bright red of the nails was dazzling.

Xie Yanhe pursed the corners of his lips and said softly: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, don't you think it's too late to say this now?" ”

Princess Fuqing couldn't help but hold Xie Yanhe's fingers, the smooth skin was slightly cool to the touch, and Princess Fuqing sighed: "It's me who is sorry for you." "She shouldn't have taken the liberty of matching Yonghe with her father in order to deal with the crown prince.

With Yonghe, I am afraid that there will be no bones left that will be eaten by my father. Do you know that today's Hui Guiren is not tomorrow's Yonghe......

Xie Yanhe was stunned for a moment, her peach blossom eyes blinked, those cool eyes were rippling, and the black and clear pupils came back to life.

Xie Yan and Youyou said: "You still have some conscience. Don't worry, I'm in control. Xie Yanhe's words were not so much to comfort Princess Fuqing as to comfort himself.

Princess Fuqing was speechless for a while.

It was the maid who brought the cool crisp mountain that interrupted the calm atmosphere between the two.

The crisp mountain on the Fuqing princess's house is a must. The bottom layer of the ice bowl is made in the shape of a lotus flower, each pointy, narrow petal is crystal clear, inside is a layer of refreshing smoothie, topped with cream, ghee, plum sauce, mixed with peach flesh and putao, the top layer is dotted with various colored petals and bright red cherries, which makes people appetize.

Xie Yanhe took the silver spoon of lilac leaves handed by the maid, dug a mouthful of smoothie and put it into his lips. The cold taste was cold, the tip of her tongue was numb, and then the sweet and sour taste floated in her mouth, and even the hot mood became calm again.

"What will Princess Yichang and Princess Duanmin do in the future?" Xie Yanhe asked an irrelevant word.

Princess Fuqing wanted to sigh again: "Huiguiren died suddenly, and the imperial sister of Yichang and the imperial sister of Duanmin couldn't accept it, and the two of them made trouble with their father together. The father didn't say much to them, and threw the evidence of Hui Guiren's collusion with the traitors to them. Now the Father is not the Father, and the Son is not the Son......"

Princess Fuqing felt pity for these two royal sisters in her heart, but after the matter of the nobles, how much family affection could be left? I was looking at Hui Guiren's breath. Even if Yichang and Duan Min are reasonable, it is impossible not to be angry.

It is said that there is no family affection in the heavenly family, and Princess Fuqing understands in her heart that in the future, she is afraid that she will really lose these two sisters.

"Yonghe, do you know...... Cui Zisu fell into the water that day, why did Du Minyi help Yichang Huangmei cover up? Princess Fuqing talked about a topic that was not related.

Xie Yanhe chuckled lightly, and his tone was light: "The second son of the Du family wants to be the master." Du Minyi will help her future sister-in-law, what's strange. ”

Du Minyi's brother is eighteen this year, and he is the number one teenager in the capital, although the age of Princess Yichang is one year younger than Du Minyi, but the princess of this dynasty has always been favored. At the time of the first emperor, one of the favored retainers of the first emperor waited until twenty-seven or eighteen to marry the adult princess back.

Princess Fuqing's eyes froze: "It turns out that you know everything." ”

"Princess Yichang is going to do it at my banquet. If she is confessed, I will be implicated. Xie Yan and Wen Sheng explained that she had no relationship with Princess Yichang and would never secretly inquire into her private affairs. Saying this, I am also afraid that Princess Fuqing will be too careful.

"You're right to be cautious." Princess Fuqing was very worried, and she was worried about Princess Yichang's future: "I'm not saying that the Du family is bad, but you can see Du Minyi." The ladies of the old families in the capital praised each other. It's true that I can't find anything wrong with people, but it's too perfect, and my heart is cold. The Du family is the same. After the matter of Hui Guiren, the father will not see Yichang and Duanmin again. The Du family has always been sensitive, and I'm just afraid that Yichang will have a hard time in the future......"

Xie Yanhe raised his eyebrows, and a pair of peach blossom eyes squinted at Princess Fuqing with a smile. Fuqing is playing with himself again. Before she got married to the palace, she thought about it in the future.

"Do you want me to take care of Yichang and Duanmin more after I enter the palace?" Xie Yanhe's face was a little worried.

Princess Fuqing also knew that her approach was not open, and she moved her lips.

Xie Yanhe interrupted directly: "Impossible." There's no way I'm going to take care of them. ”

Xie Yanhe's tone was categorical, and Princess Fuqing was stunned, a little puzzled why her reaction was so big.

Xie Yanhe didn't let Fuqing wonder for too long, she said lightly: "I guess you also know that Xie Jin killed my father. In this case, in addition to Xie Jin, there are also people behind the scenes. Since Hui Guiren is involved with my father-killing enemy, why should I take care of her two daughters? ”

Xie Yanhe never thought that he was born with a good heart. How to repay virtue with virtue?
