When Zuo Liang didn't release many people (I've never been sure if the word "not much" was appropriate, but I felt that in ancient times, the efficiency of doing anything would be a few beats slower than now, so I used it like this) rushed to the small courtyard with all kinds of people, at this time, the emperor and Zuo Niangniang had also changed their clothes, together with Zuo Junzhong and others, they also changed their court clothes according to the pinji.

The kneeling crows in the small courtyard were full of people, and the inside and outside of the courtyard were also surrounded by several layers.

Looking at the people in the courtyard, He Xuan's mind kept thinking about what happened just now.

Just after breakfast, the emperor asked his inner family to avoid changing clothes first, leaving several men with him and He Xuan.

"Worry-free ......"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I have a few words for you, and a few of you young men."

"Please give instructions to the emperor."

The emperor looked at Zuo Junzhong, Zuo Junzhong frowned, he could roughly guess what the emperor was going to order next. is about to enter Beijing, and He Xuan's matter will have to come to a conclusion sooner or later.

"You can't stay with me for too long."

Hearing this, Zuo Liang and Liao Yong both looked at the emperor with some trepidation, He Xuan looked calm, she had already thought that no matter whether the emperor decided whether he was alive or dead in the end, it was necessary to leave the officialdom.

"Letting you go is bound to cause many people to speculate, so you may be sad in the coming days."

"I understand."

"But the emperor ......"

Zuo Liang wanted to help He Xuan intercede, but was swallowed back by his father's eyes.

"Back in Beijing, someone will definitely make a big fuss about this attack, and in addition to being demoted, there may be some flesh and blood suffering. How are you hurting? ”

"Emperor Xie's concern, the minister is no longer in a big deal."

The emperor nodded, sighed, and then continued: "Next, I will first demote your position to a few levels, let you be an idle position, maybe, you will also be angry, and then, naturally, someone will continue to want to step on you and press you, and then you will be demoted again and again, and finally, you will be demoted from the capital." ”

Speaking of this, the emperor paused and turned his back: "After leaving, you will come back again...... I'm afraid I won't be able to gossip with you like I am now. But that's all I can do for you. As for your father...... I can't rehabilitate him for a while, you have to be considerate of these......"

"I understand."

He Xuan's three words made everyone's hearts sour, especially Zuo Junzhong, who felt very sad about He Xuan's current reasoning, and he felt that such a level of understanding had greatly exceeded the boundaries of her age.

When the emperor said this, he waved his hand and let them leave the house.

After a few people withdrew, Zuo Junzhong looked at He Xuan and said in a low voice: "The road after this, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to walk, in order to let you quit in peace, I'm afraid that Ziqing and I won't be able to contact you anymore." And, you'd better also start from ......"

As he spoke, Zuo Junzhong looked at Liao Yong.

He Xuan understood that Zuo Junzhong wanted to leave Liao Yong's side and move out of Liao's house.

But before He Xuan could speak, he only heard Liao Yong say, "I don't mind." I'm not on the court, will they still ......?"

"We really have to care about this. If we didn't have some kind of feeling about He Xuan, I am afraid that there will be many people's eyes staring at her......" Zuo Liang said.

After listening to Zuo Liang's words, Liao Yong lost his voice, but just clenched his fists tightly.

"It's okay, I can bear it."

That's all there is to it, and let's disperse. Remember, you have to explain this matter to your daughter-in-law, otherwise, her quick mouth may not miss a single sentence. Zuo Junzhong instructed Zuo Liangdao.

Zuo Liang nodded and retreated first.

He Xuan looked at Liao Yong, and then said, "You go back first, I have a few words I want to say to Uncle Zuo." ”

Liao Yong was puzzled, he still had to carry himself on his back for anything, but looking at He Xuan's appearance, Liao Yong still nodded and left first.

"What else?" Zuo Junzhong looked at Liao Yong's back and asked with some puzzlement.

"Uncle Zuo, can you move a few steps, let's find another place."

Zuo Junzhong was a little puzzled, but he still followed He Xuan to a secluded place.

"I ...... I know what happened to the mortal......" He Xuan said in a low voice.

"Into the mortal...... What's the matter? Zuo Junzhong was extremely reluctant to understand this sentence as the direction he first thought of.

"Yes. I also met Mrs. Meng......"

The words that came out of He Xuan's mouth lightly shocked Zuo Junzhong beyond comprehension.

"So, I understand what Uncle Zuo meant by asking me to leave the Liao family. This matter has been on my mind for too long, and if I don't say it again, I will really be driven crazy. He Xuan said, tears welled up all of a sudden, "I also heard some of what my father did with you back then, although it was not complete, but I also understood my father's mood back then." Whether the insurgency is counterbalanced or not, in fact, is not so important now. ”

"Good boy......" Zuo Junzhong's voice was a little choked.

"As for entering the mortal, I have answered the lady, even if I give up my life, I will protect him. Just like back then, he sacrificed his life to protect his wife. So, Uncle Zuo, I will endure the next thing, no matter how bad it is. But you must be optimistic about the county lord and Ziqing, the two of them, one is naïve and the other is righteous...... I'm just afraid ......"

"Okay, I understand! I'll leave this to me. ”

When He Xuan heard this, he nodded, then bowed deeply to Uncle Zuo, and said, "Uncle, please take care of yourself, I'm afraid that I won't have to worry about it in the future, and I won't have such an opportunity to talk to you." ”

"Good boy, as long as you can be safe. I'm relieved. ”

After that, Zuo Junzhong waved his hand and let He Xuan leave.

After He Xuan went back, she didn't explain anything to Liao Yong, and she wanted to stay tonight after explaining to Liao Yong. Because I have too many things to say to Liao Yong, and too many things I want to tell him...... Too much, too much......

……

Looking at the officials at all levels, together with the village chief and the chief of the security here, this flattering face made He Xuan wonder in his heart, do they really need to live so hard? Desperately climb from the bottom to the high, and then to the highest, just to be able to step on someone else's foot...... Is it really a happy life like this?

The higher you go, the closer you get to the person sitting behind you, the more dangerous you are, and the more you will walk on thin ice every day.

Why are so many people willing to act as pawns in their hands, do their best for them, and even pay for the lives of their families and clansmen, what is this picture?

He Xuan didn't understand, maybe, it's just that she has seen and heard too much recently, and she has some feelings......

Just when He Xuan sighed, he suddenly heard the eunuch standing at the door preaching: "Prince Xian is here ......."

As soon as he heard this name, He Xuan unconsciously snorted.

I only heard a "pass ......"

Yun Zhen walked in through the outermost courtyard gate.

He Xuan's eyes kept staring at Yun Zhen, deadly, she suppressed all the emotions in her heart, not sad, not happy, not angry, not shocked...... didn't have any emotion, just stared at Yun Zhen, from far to near, until he walked to his side.

As soon as Yun Zhen entered the courtyard, he felt an unknown aura oppressing him, and when he looked up and saw He Xuan, he found the source of this aura.

This time I went out, and the time was not very long, but Yun Zhen seemed to have met He Xuan again after a few lifetimes.

He smiled faintly at He Xuan, just like when they first met.

It's just that this time, He Xuan didn't smile in return, but was as cold as ice, just looking at herself.

Yun Zhen had already received a report this morning that someone from Yu Linwei had gone to the yamen to inquire about the Qiu family and his wife...... And almost at the same time, the head of Xu Prison also came over to report to Yun Zhen that Qiu Shi's medicine had been fed for four days, which was one day longer than the time set by Yun Zhen......

This can't help but make Yun Zhen feel very unhappy.

Because of his act of adding a snake to his feet and a trip to the head of the snake, he had to speed up the pace of urging the emperor to interrogate Qiu Shi, otherwise, Qiu Shi would easily die in prison like that, which would disrupt his next steps.

Therefore, naturally, Xu Jiao'er was not fortunate enough to walk out of the gate of King Xian's Mansion.

"Long time no see." Yun Zhen smiled and said to He Xuan.

"Yes, lord." He Xuan said politely but without emotion.

Yun Zhen smiled, and sure enough, He Xuan guessed it...... Is she hating herself? Yun Zhen asked herself.

"I heard you're injured, are you alright?"

"Lord Xie cares, it's no big deal."

Yun Zhen nodded and said, "That's good." Come and sit down at my house when you have time. We'll talk about that later. I'll go and say hello to the emperor first. ”

"Congratulations to the prince."

He Xuan's eyes kept on Yun Zhen's face, which made Yun Zhen feel very uncomfortable.

Qiu Shi's master was not arrested in that round-up, but fled there as soon as he found the officers and soldiers. He quietly slipped back to the capital and told Yun Zhen everything he knew. Yun Zhen understands that the so-called He Xuan's family, if it is not He Xuan herself, it must be the child next to her.

What Qiu Shi said to He Xuan in the flower building at that time, although the master didn't know very well, but he knew Qiu Shi's drunken gaffe, Qiu Shi drank too much, and the two things he liked to do the most: playing with women and showing off the prince's importance to himself!

Yun Zhen couldn't help but be a little nervous when he learned this, if He Xuan's mouth moved casually, he directly stabbed Qiu Shi's words to the emperor, and he ...... However, the news of this catastrophe has never been transmitted, and Yun Zhen understands that He Xuan helped himself hide what he heard.

He originally thought that He Xuan's move was because of his affection...... But just now, Yun Zhen only read two words from He Xuan's gaze - despair.

She was desperate for herself......
