Chapter 157: Something Happened in the Dark

The news of Xie Hui's defeat was beyond all expectations, and Liu Liehu's desperate gamble was premeditated.

Neither the prince nor Xiao Yi could have imagined that King Chen's father and son would really commit treason.

The civil strife in Shengjing City dragged everyone to determine the authenticity of the news of "Xie Hui's defeat", after all, when the news reached the East Palace, the crown prince had already ambushed Su He on the streets of Shengjing, so that only Xie Yun knew this news.

When he found His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor, the Emperor was already too frightened and fell asleep, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just finished cleaning up the mess in Shengjing City, and he was a little stunned for a while.

What kind of person is Xie Hui, it is not an exaggeration to be the god of war of Nanchu, even if there are people like Liu Liehu, they should not disappear so easily, and they have been missing for many days, and their life and death are uncertain.

The civil strife in Shengjing lasted for two days, but two days passed, and there was still no news from the border pass.

When Xie Yun hurriedly entered the palace, Dean Qingheng had already been left in the palace, and after meeting Dean Qingheng, he rushed back to the Pingnan Hou Mansion without stopping.

By the time Xie Yun and Xiao Yi stood on the land of the East Palace again, their colors had completely darkened, and Dean Qingheng and the crown prince had already reached an agreement.

"Lin Feng, I discussed with the dean and decided to send Su He to the front line to take the position of deputy general, what do you think?" The prince clasped the table, "I and the dean don't believe that Hou Ye Xie would disappear so easily, maybe he had a plan." ”

Xiao Yi nodded, "There is no worse situation now, and the previous news is indeed very thought-provoking." ”

It stands to reason that the life and death of the commander of the first army is uncertain, shouldn't the army shake the morale of the army?

The battle ahead is not chaotic at all, which is very clear...... This shows that the previous news may not have been deliberate, deliberately disrupting the plans in Shengjing City.

If the crown prince and the emperor don't know why, believe it to be true, and rashly send troops again, maybe the capital is empty, then if the rebels take the opportunity to enter, I don't know what the consequences will be.

But...... What if it's true?

This is another unimaginable disaster......

Xie Yun studied under Dean Qingheng, so he naturally understood Dean Qingheng's thoughts, and when he saw this, he recommended himself, "Your Highness, the minister is willing to go with General Su He." ”

The prince nodded, "That's exactly what you want to do." You and Xie Hou Ye are father and son, as the saying goes, father and son are connected, if you go to the front line, the palace will be more relieved. As for the patrol battalion, Ah Yi, I can only leave it to you. ”

Xiao Yihun nodded indifferently, "It just so happens that the Gyeonggi Guard has fallen to seventy-seven eighty-eight, just enough to re-enforce the security and defense of Shengjing." ”

After this arrangement, several people left the palace in a hurry.

In the Furong Pavilion of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, Xie Li stood in the middle of the room worriedly, listening to the weak moans coming from inside, and was inexplicably a little anxious.

Mrs. Wang and Xie Chen were also there, but the two of them were so frightened that their brains couldn't turn at all, so they could only sit on the chair dejectedly, listening to the voices inside.

Dust and cure diseases, and unfamiliar strangers are not allowed to watch from the sidelines.

Xie Li pursed his lips, thinking about his aunt's words before she died, and was inexplicably a little uneasy.

Could it be Mrs. Lu?

To tell the truth, Xie Li has no admiration for Mrs. Lu, if Mrs. Lu dies, she will sigh at most, and she will not be touched, so what's going on?

"Big sister." At this time, Xie Chen's timid voice sounded behind him.

Xie Li turned his head and let out a soft "um".

Xie Chen pursed his lips, still a little nervous, "Grandmother, she ...... It's going to be okay, right? ”

The events of the past few days have constantly impacted Xie Chen's weak three views, she was controlled in the house by Aunt Wan, those five big and three thick people in black were verbally insulting, and their words were extremely presumptuous, but she was pitiful and didn't dare to hold back her internal urgency, until Mrs. Wang rushed into the house, she didn't dare to whimper.

"It should be fine...... Xie Li frowned impatiently at first, and then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he grabbed Xie Chen's wrist.

"Big sister!"

"Li'er!"

Mrs. Wang and Xie Chen both startled and stood up from their chairs abruptly.

"Don't be afraid." Xie Li said softly, "Third sister, have you heard anything about Aunt Wan?" For example, who else did she arrest, or did she hurt anyone else......"

Xie Chen shook his head blankly, the confusion and fear in his eyes were mixed, looking very pitiful, like a frightened milk dog.

"Li'er, Chen'er, she was really scared, you ...... Can you ......" Mrs. Wang really didn't have the face to ask Xie Li again, she dragged Xie Li into the hands of Aunt Wan, just for her own child.

Xie Li shook his head absently, "Mother, I don't blame you, I know that you really can't do anything." ”

Mrs. Wang shook her head bitterly and pulled Xie Chen back to sit down.

At this time, Qingchen finally pulled the door curtain, and Shi Shiran walked out.

Catching up with the expectant gaze of Xie Li and the others, Qingchen subconsciously frowned, "The old guy's poison has been resolved, but the body, there is probably no way to recover as before." ”

Xie Li had already expected it, so he nodded, "Is Grandmother awake now?" ”

"Awake, thinking that you have something to ask, I deliberately woke her up, half an hour of effort."

Xie Li thanked Qingchen and walked in alone.

Xie Chen wanted to follow up, but found Qingchen poking and poking at the door, "You two, do you want to take a look, tsk, pale face......"

That's what it means to not want people to go in and disturb you.

Xie Chen lowered his head and answered silently.

Mrs. Wang took Xie Chen to her side in distress and silently opened Xie Chen's wrist.

In the quiet room, only Yu's mother was alone beside Mrs. Lu, feeding Mrs. Lu water.

Seeing Xie Li walk in, Yu's mother wiped away her tears and said with a crying smile: "Eldest sister, you are here." ”

Xie Li nodded, and saw that Old Man Lu's gaze turned to him.

"Grandmother." Xie Li knelt on the footbed under the bed and called softly.

Old Madam Lu's eyes flashed with relief and excitement, and she said slowly: "Big girl, I didn't do a good job of what you explained......

"It's okay." Xie Li paused and asked again, "Aunt Wan, the interest she charged me has already been collected, do you know what it is, grandmother?" ”

Old Madam Lu's eyes flashed with horror, and she said urgently: "Master Hou, she asked someone to bring a letter to Master Hou." ”

"What letter?"

"Go to Xie Tian and stop Xie Tian...... cough cough cough ......" was so excited that Mrs. Lu was choked and coughed again and again.

Mother Yu hurriedly stepped forward and patted Old Man Lu Rao's back, and it took a long time for Old Lady Lu to come back to her strength, and her expression was even more depressed and weak.
