Xu Lan said, how could Princess Xu not know, I saw that she barely held back her tears, clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and said hatefully: "Since I entered Beijing, I have known that this Xu Wangfu can no longer be as peaceful and peaceful as in the past, the day before yesterday at the palace banquet, how many noble wives and children have asked me about the news of Xu Wangfu, but I didn't expect their hands to be so fast, just a few days have already figured out the situation in Xu Wangfu, and even dare to assassinate the real brother!" ”

"I didn't show off before, I recuperated and kept my head up, but I just thought that your father was powerful and had a heavy army. If it was too public, it would definitely make people grasp the handle, but I didn't expect that I blindly tolerated it, but it made some people think I was cowardly. Even came to kill my son. It's really bearable, it's unbearable! ”

As the saying goes, a woman is weak, but a mother is strong.

At this moment, Princess Xu finally realized that when she came to the center of the whirlpool of power in the capital, it was absolutely impossible for their Xu family to retreat and be safe and sound.

"Mother, what should I do now? Could it be that my brother's injury was in vain? Xu Xin couldn't help asking.

Princess Xu's expression of resentment just now, when she heard Xu Xin ask, she burst into tears again in a blink of an eye: "What else?" Since the other party dares to have the courage to go to the palace again, he is naturally fully prepared, and as Xu Lan just said, there was no witness present at the time, and those girls and servants disappeared out of thin air as if they were dead, so what evidence do we have? ”

"What's more, and often someone in the royal family makes a mistake or is injured, where there is a large case, it will be handed over to Dali Temple for processing, although your father said that he has a heavy army on one side, but he has no foundation in Dali Temple. The mastermind behind him, I'm afraid that he has already made all preparations in Dali Temple, even if Brother Zhen'er is seriously injured and his life hangs by a thread, it is just a hasty conclusion of the case. Saying that, Princess Xu couldn't help but mourn in her heart.

Seeing Brother Zhen lying on the bed, his face pale, Princess Xu's tears couldn't stop flowing.

Xu Lan saw her mother so sad, while her younger brother was lying on the bed, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and every word her mother just said revealed a sense of helplessness.

At this moment, Xu Lan really understood the importance of power.

The power is so heavy and so great, even if it is the Xu Wangfu with a heavy army, even if it is the only son of King Xu, he has no choice but to swallow this blood deeply and endure the grievances.

"Mother, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, why do you have a great business in the Xu Wangfu family, can't even the silver let those people in Dali Temple find out the truth?" Xu Xin still didn't seem to be able to accept such a result, and asked loudly.

When Princess Xu heard this, she shook her head weakly: "My good daughter, how do you know that these silver coins are not omnipotent, and this silver can make ghosts grind." But that powerful man can make the devil go up in smoke. Who would sacrifice their lives for a little money? ”

This sentence was like the last straw, and Xu Lan and Xu Xin were speechless all of a sudden.

It turns out that being at the center of the whirlpool of power, no one wants to be alone.

It's a pity that Xu Lan and Xu Xin, who were young at the time, only understood this truth through the lessons of their own brother's blood.

Sure enough, as soon as the news of Xu Zhen's assassination spread, less than half an hour later, Dali Temple had already come to the door.

Although Dali Temple was extremely respectful to Princess Xu in front of her, she looked like she was handling the case impartially, and she interrogated Xu Lan at that time, as well as various maids and servants.

But when they left, less than three days later, the verdict had already been announced.

It is said that there was a group of thieves at that time, who entered the house to rob and rob property, and Xu Zhen saw the thieves come in and played with him, Xu Zhen fought with him, and was unfortunately stabbed by the thieves.

The people of Xu Wangfu who got this result really understood the truth of this world.

"Robbery and robbery, what you said is good, when you entered the Xu Wangfu to check, you were obviously told that there was no property lost in the Xu Mansion, why did you make up such a ridiculous and ridiculous verdict?!"

Xu Xin is Xu Zhen's sister-in-law, she and Xu Zhen have a good relationship, seeing this obviously perfunctory reason when Dali Temple came, Xu Xin couldn't help but be angry, and immediately questioned the officials from Dali Temple.

But he didn't know this official, but he was not a good-natured person. He glanced at Xu Xin coldly, sneered and said: "Isn't this the eldest lady of Xu Wangfu, what a big tone, Dali Temple has always judged cases impartially, even today's saints are full of praise, and Miss Xu Xin openly questioned the fairness of Dali Temple, can it be questioned by the current emperor?" ”

After such a big hat, Xu Xin was dumbfounded at the moment and couldn't say a word.

Xu Lan saw this scene, sighed secretly, and then stepped forward and said with a smile: "My lord, you are joking, my sister is just worried about Brother Xu Zhen, and she doesn't choose what to say." The little girl apologized to the adults in this generation of sisters, and I hope that you will forgive my sister's nonsense regardless of the villain. ”

When the official saw Xu Lan's pretentiousness, his face was a little better, but he still said coldly: "Okay, Miss Xu is still young after all, and what she says is inevitably a little unpleasant, but this Xu Wangfu, Princess Xu has to discipline her daughter well, today is me, if other adults come, I'm afraid that Miss Xu will have to go to Dali Temple for a walk!" ”

When Xu Lan heard this, she didn't make any other expressions on her face, she still smiled slightly, lowered her head and said, "My lord, you are right, my sister, she is just a teenager, and she offended adults." ”

Xu Lan kept apologizing and saying good things, and the official greatly satisfied his face, glanced up and down at Xu Wangfu, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

"Sister, why do you have to talk too much about this treacherous villain, looking at his domineering appearance, it is really hateful!"

After the adult left, Xu Xin was still in a bad mood and said resentfully.

"Sister, you can say a few words, Dali Temple has always acted like this. And now the emperor is partial to Dali Temple, no matter how much you say, it's just in vain, it's just poor real brother, who suffered this crime in vain. ”

Xu Xin listened to Xu Lan's words, and all the majesty she had just taken off when she was strong had been removed, she turned her head and just looked at Xu Zhen, who didn't know whether she was alive or dead on the bed, and tears couldn't help but flow down again.

Xu Lan is not sad, but right now, there is no chance for her to be sad.

It turned out that since Xu Zhen's assassination, Princess Xu has been in a great mood. Especially on the day Xu Zhen was injured, he stayed with Xu Zhen all night, and the next day he fell ill alive.

As soon as Princess Xu fell ill, the entire Xu Mansion, although it was not a mess, but in the end, it was also a fluctuating heart.

After all, the main mother fell ill, and the sister-in-law was assassinated again, leaving only two girls, who really looked weak and couldn't carry a big burden.

Xu Lan saw Xu Xin at this time, and she also looked grief-stricken, and she understood that she couldn't fall, otherwise if she fell, the whole Xu Wangfu would be a real mess, and it would also give people with a heart more opportunities to take advantage of.

So Xu Lan stepped forward to comfort Xu Xin and said: "Sister, don't be sad anymore, really brother, he must be auspicious, there will be nothing wrong, but we can't fall, but to support this Xu Wangfu, my mother is old, I was already sick yesterday, and I invited the doctor to come and see, but it can only be said that the grief is excessive, and it won't get better for a while, sister, you can't be so sad anymore, so impulsive, if you insist on going your own way today, see the Dali Temple officials have to be unforgiving, If you are a sister, you have also entered Dali Temple, but how can I let my sister live? ”

In the end, Xu Lan's tears also fell.

"My good sister, I really wronged you." Xu Xin heard that she liked this, and she suddenly fell asleep.

The current Xu Wangfu is no longer the iron bucket of Princess Xu's good days, but there are loopholes everywhere, which completely allows others to take advantage of it, and he thinks of the confrontation he just had against the officials of the Dali Temple, and he can't help but be secretly frightened.

"Good sister, it was my sister just now, I was reckless, I really didn't know that my sister thought so much, but sister, not only did I not help you, but I kept dragging my feet, good sister, you don't have to worry, I will definitely cheer up, I won't fall down easily, I must not let those villains underestimate us, we are the palace!"

When Xu Lan heard Xu Xin say this, she was naturally full of joy, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Sister, I believe in you!" ”

Just when the two sisters were complaining to each other and cheering each other up, in a room in the palace, it was a different scene.

"The officials of Dali Temple have already left?" Ji Chen picked up the tea on the table, took a sip slowly, and asked slowly.

"Let's go, the final verdict they gave is that someone robbed the property and stabbed Xu Zhengongzi."

"Hehe, robbery, Dali Temple turned out to be worse than a day, and the excuse that I could come up with was so ridiculous. Now that the case is closed, then we can also leave this palace, and the longer we stay in King Xu's mansion, it will not be a good thing in the end. ”

Lu Yun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange to go." It's just that there are still some things I want to tell the master about you. ”

"What's the matter? Say it," Ji Chen nodded in agreement.

"Yesterday, Gongzi Xu has fallen, Princess Xu has also fallen ill, and there are only two girls left in the entire school, but those two girls are a little bold and a little strategic, but the eldest girl is very reckless."

When Ji Chen heard Lu Yun say this, he closed his eyes and thought slowly for a while, and after a long time, he said, "The second girl of King Xu's Mansion has always been good. ”
