Chapter 285: Confrontation
Concubine Liu Huang was worried about Brother Min'er's situation, holding Xiao Xuan's hand and asking, after a long day, Xiao Xuan finally found a gap and interrupted Concubine Liu's words.
"Mother, you really miss Brother Min'er's words, I'll take him into the palace to show you in a few days." Xiao Xuan said to Emperor Liu Guifei with a very solemn expression. "For now, you stop and listen to me."
When Concubine Liu heard this, she immediately looked at Xiao Yu and Xiao Jun who were sitting on the side and didn't speak, and quickly reacted, she waved her hand at Baizhu, and Baizhu immediately took people down after understanding, and only their mother and son were left in the main hall at once.
"Okay, you can say it." After watching Baizhu go out, Emperor Liu's concubine closed the door of the main hall.
"Mother, Shaolan asked someone to visit the details of that Miss Yue, I received this letter yesterday, and all the details are recorded." Xiao Xuan handed the letter with both hands and sent it to Emperor Liu's concubine. "Mother, take a look at the contents."
Concubine Liu looked at the letter that Xiao Xuan was holding in the palm of her hand, and then at Xiao Jun, after all, she sighed lightly, and reached out to take the letter in Xiao Xuan's hand.
She took the letter, and Xiao Xuan sat quietly beside her.
Concubine Liu took a deep breath and opened the letter, she unfolded the letter and read the entire content word by word.
Xiao Xuan has been paying attention to Emperor Liu's expression, but she saw that Emperor Liu's expression was always calm and unwavering, until Emperor Liu's concubine saw it, she actually folded the letter paper slowly and methodically and put it back in the envelope.
"Mother concubine......." Seeing this, Xiao Xuan asked tentatively.
"Needless to say, I probably get the idea." Concubine Liu interrupted Xiao Xuan's words, looked at Xiao Jun, and asked him. "Jun'er, you are not a child anymore, you should have your own plans when you encounter problems after many years of getting married and having a career. You should have a rough idea of what this letter is in my hands before it reaches me, right? ”
Xiao Jun raised his head in response and looked at Emperor Liu's concubine, his eyebrows were obscure, and he opened his mouth several times but finally didn't say anything, just nodded with difficulty.
"Now the person who will calculate you like this doesn't think about him, and he is the only one." Concubine Liu said helplessly. "Now there are only a few of us mother and son in this hall, so in this case, I might as well spread out the words and make it clearer. Yu'er, you also know the inside story, do you have any opinion on this matter? ”
Xiao Yu didn't expect Emperor Liu's concubine to suddenly call him by name, and he was stunned and was about to speak, but Xiao Xuan opened his mouth before him.
"Mother, let's not talk about other things, during the days that Miss Yue lived temporarily in my house, I sent Dan Tang to monitor her from time to time. Now that she knows that her young brother and sister are being held hostage, she is also helpless to approach her sixth brother. I hope that when the mother, eldest brother, and sixth brother discuss how to resolve this matter, they will not be angry with her. ”
"Xuan'er." Concubine Liu turned her head to look at Xiao Xuan, who was sitting beside her.
"Mother, when the sixth brother left the imperial capital and went to Jiangnan, I, as his sister, tossed and turned for his safety. Miss Yue's younger brother and sister were taken away at a young age, and Miss Yue also approached the sixth brother for the safety of her younger brother and sister, their family was innocent, and I really couldn't bear to see her in trouble. ”
"Mother, in fact, Xuan'er's words are right." Xiao Yu echoed Xiao Xuan's words, and then continued. "If it's really the second brother who is playing tricks on it at this time, if we can manage to rescue Miss Yue's brother and sister, it's better than just disposing of Miss Yue to end this time."
"Jun'er, it's about you, what is your opinion?" Concubine Liu listened carefully to Xiao Yu and Xiao Xuan's words.
"Mother, what the eldest brother and Xuan'er mean is also what I mean." Xiao Jun got up and walked in front of Emperor Liu's concubine, he knelt down all of a sudden, looked at Emperor Liu's eyes and said. "Mother, everything is the fault of the sons."
"If only you could know what was wrong." Concubine Liu nodded and said. "Xuan'er, help your sixth brother up."
Xiao Xuan immediately got up and helped Xiao Jun up.
"Sixth brother, hurry up, it's better to discuss and solve the matter as soon as possible."
Xiao Xuan stayed in the palace for most of the day before hurriedly leaving the palace and returning to his princess's mansion.
"Lu Lin, go and talk to Dan Tang for me, and ask her to bring Miss Yue to me." Xiao Xuan hurriedly entered her room, and Lu Lin was about to come over to serve, but Xiao Xuan stopped her movements and said to her. "After bringing her over, you and the others will step back first, I have something to discuss with Miss Yue."
"Yes, the slave will go over to look for the orange."
After a short period of effort, Dan Tang came over with Yue Ying.
"Princess, the slave maid has brought Miss Yue over." Dan Tang and Yue Ying stopped at the door of the room, and Dan Tang raised his voice and said.
"Miss Yue, come in and talk." As soon as he heard the voice of the orange, the green forest who was waiting in the door hurriedly came out and said. "The princess is already waiting for Miss Yue in the room, the slave maid and the orange will step back for the time being, and Miss Yue will go into the house by herself."
"Thank you." Fang Cai Dan Tang got Xiao Xuan's order, and before he had time to say anything, he pulled Yue Ying out of the room, and Yue Ying didn't know what was going on, so he had to follow obediently, still confused at this time, but he only had the courage to walk in slowly.
Yue Ying slowly walked into the house and saw Xiao Xuan at the window.
"The folk girl has seen the princess." When Yue Ying saw Xiao Xuan, he hurriedly stopped and saluted her. "I wonder why the princess summoned the maidens to come?"
"Come and sit down across from me." Xiao Xuan held the teacup in his hand, pointed to the empty seat opposite him and said. "You've been brought to my house for some time, and I don't know how the maids in the house treat you? I'm really worried about things these days, and I don't bother to ask about your situation, I don't know if I have neglected you? ”
"Miss Danju is dedicated to everything to the people's daughters, and she takes good care of everything big and small." Yue Ying hesitated to stand in place, hesitated to step forward and sit down, and only bowed his head to answer Xiao Xuan's question. "The folk girl knows her identity, so she naturally doesn't dare to bother the princess."
"I'm not a man-eating youkai, you don't have to be so afraid of me." Xiao Xuan took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and said to Yue Ying with a smile. "I asked Dan Tang to bring you over not to gossip with you, but to have something serious to tell you, if you insist on standing there, I won't be able to talk about this matter."
Xiao Xuan's words were all about this, Yue Ying had to grit his teeth and take a few steps forward, and sat down tremblingly on the vacant seat opposite Xiao Xuan.
"I received this letter yesterday, and the contents are related to you." Xiao Xuan looked at Yue Ying's appearance and handed her the letter. "See for yourself."
Yue Ying took the letter, and when she saw the contents of the letter, her fingers holding the letter began to tremble uncontrollably. She subconsciously looked up at Xiao Xuan, but Xiao Xuan motioned for her to continue looking. She read everything hard, and she didn't realize that the cold sweat behind her back had soaked her clothes.
"How? Have you read it all? When she saw the last page, Xiao Xuan asked her with a smile. Do you have anything to say to me? ”
Yue Ying was so frightened that he knelt down with a puff.
"Princess......" Yue Ying wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but she didn't know how to defend herself, at this time she couldn't even say a coherent sentence, she hadn't experienced anything, and she was trembling all over now and had no strength.
"It seems that the contents of the letter are indeed true." Xiao Xuan leaned over and easily took out the pieces of letter paper from her trembling fingers and put them back on the desk in front of her. "It's true that you were forced to leave your hometown because your brother and sister were kidnapped, and you followed my sixth brother and his party to get close to him, right?"
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, the people know that they have made a big mistake." Hearing Xiao Xuan mention his younger brother and sister, when Yue Xuan raised his head, tears were already pouring out of his eyes. "The girl's parents have passed away, and there is only one brother and sister left in the world who depend on me for their lives. The folk girl had no intention of harming His Royal Highness King Yi, but her younger brother and sister were taken captive at a young age, and the folk girl really had no way to follow His Royal Highness King Yi all the way. The folk girl knew that she had made a big mistake and was willing to bear the responsibility for the crime. ”
"Get up and speak." Xiao Xuan looked at her teary eyes, and said helplessly after all. "If you really count it, you and your brothers and sisters have really suffered an unjustified disaster. You have been in the imperial capital for a long time, but you have never really done anything to come out. The people who used your brother and sister to blackmail you just let you get close to my sixth brother, didn't they tell you to do anything else? ”
"Back to the princess, after those people kidnapped my brother and sister, they only showed up once. They only instructed me to quietly follow His Royal Highness King Yi and his party out of Jiangnan, and let me think of my own ideas to approach His Royal Highness King Yi before His Royal Highness King Yi returned to the imperial capital, and let His Royal Highness King Yi take the initiative to take me back to the imperial capital palace for settlement. Yue Ying's hands and feet were weak and had no strength, so he had to sit on the ground and answer Xiao Xuan's question. However, on the first day I was brought back to the palace by His Royal Highness King Yi, when I was placed in the Takiyue Pavilion by Princess Yi, someone threw a note to me from the window, which only said that I should wait there with peace of mind and wait for their next instructions. ”
"And after that?" Xiao Xuan asked. "Didn't they contact you again after that?"
"No, I was taken here by the princess after that, and no one has ever contacted me since." Yue Ying knew that his affairs had been exposed, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore.
"When I entered the palace today, I have already given this letter to my mother, eldest brother, and sixth brother." Xiao Xuan couldn't ask anything, so he said bluntly. "We know in our hearts who the person who let you approach my sixth brother is, and I have begged my eldest brother to try my best to save your brother and sister."
