After Chen learned the news that Wang Xuan was going to Liyang Ji's house in person to propose marriage, she was slightly stunned, did not agree, and did not refuse, only said that Wang Li would go back first, and she had to discuss such a big matter with the head of the family.

Wang Li bowed his hand and left.

"Go and invite the head of the house. Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned her head to look at the servant girl on the side and said.

"No. The maidservant turned to Chen's Yingying Yifu and left.

Every day, Ah He and Ah Bi will report Wang Xuan's every move to her, and she is always suspicious of Wang Xuan's attitude towards Xie Langhua.

Now that the Xie family has been imprisoned in the prison, Ah Xuan proposed to go to the Ji family in Liyang to propose marriage, she really didn't know if he had any other plans, so she thought about calling Wang Yan over, and the two of them discussed how to do it.

"Ma'am. After a while, Wang Yan walked in.

Chen dismissed the maidservants who served in the house, and she told Wang Yan that Wang Xuan was going to Liyang Ji's house to propose marriage.

After Wang Yan heard this, he hooked his lips and smiled: "If he wants to go, let him go." ”

He should have gone in person about the proposal, and there was nothing wrong with it in his opinion.

"But ......" Chen looked worried, and she looked at Wang Yan without saying anything.

Wang Yan had a faint smile on his face, he reached out and stroked the beard on his chin, and said slowly: "Madame, don't worry! When Ah Xuan comes back, Xie Langhua is already behind the country, and there is no possibility between the two of them, no matter what he does, it is useless." ”

Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Wang Yan intently: "What does the master mean?"

Wang Yan's face turned cold, and he said: "The battle in the harem has always been invisible to kill, and when Xie Langhua enters the palace, if she dies one day, Ah Xuan naturally can't blame us." ”

Chen looked convinced: "It's still the husband's thoughtfulness." ”

As soon as Wang Yan left, the Chen family immediately sent someone to send a message to Wang Xuan, and he had allowed him to personally go to the Ji family in Liyang to propose marriage, but he had to take Ah He and Ah Bi to serve carefully on the road.

After Wang Xuan received the letter, he didn't delay for a moment, and set off with Wang Li, Ah He, Ah Bi, and the things that the Ji family proposed.

It's night!

Xiao Shi and Chun Tao really couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep, fortunately there was the bedding sent by Yu Ye, otherwise they would definitely be frozen.

Ah Heng naturally also had the bedding sent by Yu Ye, which made Xie Langhua feel a lot more relieved.

She and Fang Huanyun hadn't slept yet, the two of them were sitting cross-legged on the haystack with their eyes closed, Xie Langhua was practicing the secret of longevity, and Fang Huanyun was also practicing his own exercises.

The Xie family was tired from crying, and they all fell asleep.

The cold wind whistled by, blowing the butter lamps in the prison flickering on and off.

Suddenly, there was a sound of broken footsteps in the quiet dungeon.

Xie Langhua opened his eyes suddenly.

After her, Fang Huanyun also opened his eyes.

The two of them glanced at each other, and a chill flashed across their faces.

In the dead of night, who else would come to the prison?

I'm afraid that the person who comes is not good.

The footsteps came from far and near, Xie Langhua and Fang Huanyun did not speak, but there was already murderous aura in their eyes.

In just a moment, a few people slowly walked out of the dim light.

Xie Langhua took a closer look, only to find that it was Sima Rui and his two guards.

Her face softened, and she slowly got up.

Fang Huanyun also stood up.

Sima Rui had already arrived at the cell where they were, he was wearing a black fox fur and a wide hat on his head, covering his face tightly, and others would never recognize him even when they saw him.

Xie Langhua looked at him Yingying Yifu and did not speak.

Fang Huanyun also faced Sima Ruiyingying.

Sima Rui looked at Xie Langhua intently, and a guard stepped forward to open the door of the cell in a few steps.

Sima Rui stepped inside.

Xiao Shi and Chun Tao are still sleeping.

"I can't sleep and want to come and see you. Sima Rui had never been lonely in front of Xie Langhua, he stood in front of Xie Langhua and looked at her intently, and a look of forbearance flashed on his face that had always been calm.

"I'm fine, I don't need to worry, Lang Jun, please go back! If others know, it will definitely cause a lot of right and wrong. Xie Langhua did not call Sima Rui His Majesty, and it was inevitable that other people would be mixed in with the crowd in this prison.

After all, Sima Rui has just succeeded to the throne, and many things cannot be ignored.

Fang Huanyun took a few steps back.

"If you endure here for a few days, I will definitely give your Xie family a clean slate. Sima Rui said word by word.

Under his gaze, the corners of Xie Langhua's mouth curved, and a smile flashed on her face and she whispered, "I know!"

She only said two words, and Sima Rui's expression changed suddenly, even though there was no trace of waves on his face, but a touch of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

It's a good feeling to be trusted by her.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly: "It's late at night, you can rest! I'll go back." ”

Xie Langhua and Fang Huanyun are blessed.

Sima Rui turned to leave.

Seeing that he was about to step out of the cell, he suddenly turned around and glanced at Xie Langhua deeply.

He didn't speak.

Xie Langhua didn't speak either.

A cold wind weaved between the two.

The cold moonlight filtered in through the narrow window and fell on Xie Langhua.

In the hazy halo, the girl was dressed in red in full swing, letting the cold wind ruffle her long hair, and she stood there quietly, her eyes a little brighter than the stars in the sky.

Sima Rui's heart moved, and until many years later, he still remembered this scene clearly.

There was a girl who amazed him for the rest of his life.

Sima Rui slowly lowered his eyes, and he strode out of the cell and disappeared from Xie Langhua's sight.

Fang Huanyun spread the futon on the hay, got up and said to Xie Langhua, "Miss, rest!"

"Well, Aunt Fang should also rest!" Xie Langhua nodded lightly, and she closed her clothes and lay down.

Fang Huanyun tidied up his futon and lay down.

Xie Langhua raised her head and looked at the narrow window without saying a word, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, I don't know what happened to Xie Changan?

On the morning of the second day, Sima Rui was just about to give an order to order a thorough investigation of Xie Chang'an's treason against the enemy, but he had not yet spoken.

Sun has stood up, he arched his hand to Sima Ruiyi and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the evidence of Xie Chang'an's defection to the enemy and treason has been conclusive, and now that my Yan Kingdom has lost several cities, it is the time when we need to boost the morale of the army, and Weichen asks Your Majesty to immediately show the heads of the Xie family to the public to set an example!"

As soon as his voice fell, Sima Rui had not yet spoken.

"The ministers seconded the proposal!" and more than a dozen civil officials stood up.

Sima Rui didn't have a little wave on his face, he swept over Sun Ji and the others one by one, his eyes narrowed slightly and said slowly: "Xie Changan has guarded the border for my Yan State for decades, there is no merit and hard work, the widow has never understood why he wants to defect to the enemy and treason, and when he is arrested, the widow will personally ask him why he did this, and it will not be too late to deal with the Xie family at that time." ”

Sun had already bowed to Sima Rui, and he said sonorously: "Weichen heard that His Majesty has a lot of personal relations with Xie Langhua, but Your Majesty is deliberately biased in favor of the Xie family because of Xie Langhua?"

Sun was already questioning Sima Rui, he was simply bold.

Sima Rui's face sank, and before he could speak, Sun Ji continued: "How can Your Majesty disregard the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border for his own selfishness, and now the morale of the soldiers of my Yan Kingdom is low, if you can't boost the morale of the army, how can you win?"

"With Dazai's words, only by killing the Xie family can the morale of the army be lifted?" The corners of Sima Rui's mouth hooked, and he looked at Sun Ji with a cold glint flashing in his deep and boundless eyes.

"Your Majesty, if you can't reward and punish clearly, how can you serve the public?" Sun was not afraid of Sima Rui at all, he knelt on the ground with his robe, and said in a deep voice: "Weichen implores Your Majesty to immediately show the heads of the Xie family to the public, so that those who are not subordinate can see what the end of betraying the Yan Kingdom and betraying Your Majesty!"

"Please Your Majesty take Yan Guosheji as the priority. Sun already said and knocked his head down heavily.

As soon as his voice fell, many of the civil officials stood up, and they looked at Sima Rui and bowed: "Please Your Majesty take Yan Guosheji as the priority and immediately execute the Xie family." ”

Even Song Yan stood up, he looked at Sima Rui and bowed and said, "Please Your Majesty put the community first and order the execution of the Xie family." ”

As he spoke, he lifted his robe and knelt down.

As he knelt like this, many officials stood up and said, "Weichen seconded the proposal!"

They also knelt down.

In the blink of an eye, most of the people in the hall had already stepped forward.

"Are you trying to persecute the widow?" Sima Rui looked at them coldly, and his voice suddenly rose to a high level of echo.

"The ministers don't dare. All the civil and military officials knelt down.

Sima Rui got up suddenly, he didn't look at them again, and said coldly: "Retreat." ”

As he spoke, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Sun had pleading in his voice, and he shouted loudly: "Please Your Majesty take Yan Guosheji as the priority!"

Sima Rui strode away without looking back.

Sun already knelt in the hall with his back straight.

Song Yan never left.

All the civil and military officials knelt there, and no one left.

I knelt from morning to afternoon.

Time flies.

Sima Rui had been reviewing the recitals, and when the sun fell, he looked up at the temple people beside him and said coldly: "Baiguan is still kneeling and refusing to leave?"

Under his gaze, the temple man arched his hand and said, "None of the civil and military officials of Your Majesty have left. ”

Sima Rui's face sank: "If they are willing to kneel, let them kneel!"

It's night!

The civil and military officials were still kneeling there, and none of them left.

Yu Ye walked in with worried eyes, he looked at Sima Rui and said, "Ah Rui, what are you going to do?"

It is not appropriate for the civil and military officials to kneel there all the time, and if it is spread out, others will say that he is stupid and incompetent.

"Ah Ye, don't let her know about this, I have my own sense of proportion. Sima Rui put down the fold in his hand and looked at Yu Ye and said.

"Hmm. Yu Ye nodded lightly.

Yu Ye accompanied Sima Rui and the two talked, and Yu Ye retired.

Xie Langhua is in the prison, so he naturally doesn't know what happened in the court.

It was already the dead of night, and the civil and military officials were still kneeling there.

The lights were on in the Qinzheng Palace, and it was obvious that Sima Rui had not rested yet.

It was really torturous in the prison, but one day, Xiao Shi and Chun Tao's faces were full of exhaustion, they could still fall asleep last night, and they couldn't sleep tonight anyway.

The two of them were lying on the haystack tossing and turning, and they didn't dare to make too much movement, for fear of making a noise to Xie Langhua.

How did they know that Xie Langhua was just lying there with her eyes closed, and she had never fallen asleep.

Fang Huanyun was also lying on the haystack with her eyes closed, and she didn't fall asleep.

"Whoosh......" A slight sound suddenly came into Xie Langhua's ears, and she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up suddenly.
