283. Xiao Yun returns
Wan Mei sneered, he is really big-hearted, isn't he afraid that Sister Qinghe will find him in her dreams?
There is no need to go to court today, so Tang Muchen got up and sat in the courtyard with Su Xiaojin. The bamboo spirit climbed the ginkgo tree and beat the ripe ginkgo fruit with a stick, while the ancient legend carried a basket to pick it up underneath. The two of them talked and laughed, becoming a charming landscape.
Su Xiaojin couldn't help but sigh, life is like this, what more can a husband ask for? Tang Muchen smiled, you are starting to be naughty again.
The two were amused, and the butler trotted over.
"Master Hou, the letter in the palace." He handed a letter to Tang Muchen.
Tang Muchen opened it casually, but after seeing the content, his brows tightened, and his smile swept away
"What's wrong?" Su Xiaojin looked at him worriedly.
Tang Muchen was silent and handed her the letter. Su Xiaojin took a look, the eldest princess Xiao Yun is back!
He said he knew, and let the butler go down. Su Xiaojin folded the letter paper and asked the maid to bring her hand warmer.
"Maybe it's just to save relatives." Su Xiaojin comforted Tang Muchen.
Tang Muchen shook his head, Xiao Yun's temperament was known by himself. She must have something else to do when she came back rashly this time.
When Xiao Yu heard that Xiao Yun was back, she happily took her maid to visit. Sure enough, I saw Xiao Yun from a distance playing in the imperial garden with a little boy dressed as a Huns, followed by a large group of women.
"Sister." She called affectionately and ran up.
When Xiao Yun saw her, he smiled faintly, not intimate. Xiao Yu stopped a little embarrassed.
I haven't seen her for a long time, she seems to have grown a lot, and her originally fair skin has darkened a lot. What's more important is that her eyes have become restrained and deep, and she seems to hide a lot of things.
"I heard from the emperor, you are engaged to Su Xiaojin's younger brother?" Xiao Yun asked coldly.
Xiao Yun nodded, not knowing how to explain. Since she married away from home, she has never written to herself. She never replied to the letters she wrote to her.
Xiao Yun snorted coldly, what kind of good brother will a cheap woman like Su Xiaojin have, I really don't know if Xiao Yu is blind to fall in love with him.
Xiao Yun saw that she was very hostile to Su Xiaojin, and she didn't dare to speak for a while, thinking that she must remind Su Xiaojin, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Sister, is the scenery over there? I've heard that the desert scenery is very good. After a while, she changed the subject and asked.
Xiao Yun sneered again: What scenery? They are all desert camels, and you can't see the edge at a glance. It's a matter of luck that she's survived until now!
Seeing that she was angry, Xiao Yu suddenly felt that she had nothing to say, so she casually found an excuse and left.
Xiao Yun didn't keep it, and took his son to pick up stones on the ground by himself.
The people sent by Tang Muchen to investigate soon returned. The bamboo spirit took him to the study.
"Sure enough, as the Hou Ye expected, Xiao Yun colluded with the border tribes and had the intention of rebellion." The man in black is Tang Muchen's shadow. There is no news in the world that he can't find out.
Tang Muchen nodded, signaling that he could go down and rest. His calm appearance surprised Zhu Ling, and it seemed that Hou Ye had already noticed it.
"Master Hou, what should we do?" Zhu Ling saw that he had not given orders, and he was a little anxious.
Tang Muchen thought for a moment, and instructed Zhu Ling, now go to search the big and small inns on the charge of arresting fugitives, and say that all those who have contacted Xiao Yun in private will be arrested and imprisoned.
"What's the charge?" Zhu Ling is worried that the momentum will cause criticism.
"Smuggling goods from the Western Regions!"
Su Xiaojin looked at the bare branches outside the window, and sighed that time flies so fast, she is about to give birth, and some things should be prepared.
Gu Yu nodded, and it was better to prepare yourself early, otherwise you would not be able to sleep well at night.
While the two were talking, Zhu Ling left in a hurry with a few people.
"Why is that?" Su Xiaojin was puzzled, and Gu Yu also shook his head, saying that he didn't know anything.
Su Xiaojin thought of Xiao Yun's return, and vaguely felt that this matter was related to her. Thinking that Tang Muchen was smart and clever, she didn't worry too much about it anymore.
At night, Xiao Yun looked at his sleeping son, got up from the bed, and prepared to report to the people at the post station. She didn't come back this time for the ruthless father, so she didn't want to delay too much time.
She crept to the door and handed the maid a map of the palace's secret passages. The handmaid immediately turned and disappeared into the night.
She looked at the dark clouds above her and felt very proud. After waiting for so many years, I can finally take revenge. Tang Muchen, Su Xiaojin, you all go to die!
It's a pity that Zhu Ling has already taken the lead to catch all those who are waiting for the opportunity to act. As soon as it got dark that night, he led a large group of men to search from house to house, and arrested all the unidentified alien men to prison.
Outsiders thought that they had come to the capital to do business, and because they were unwilling to hand over silver taels to the imperial court, they were arrested by the officers and soldiers.
Tang Muchen looked at them in prison and smiled at Chong Zhuling with satisfaction. Zhu Lingdao, thanks to Hou Ye's discernment, he rushed to move in front of them, and these people were caught off guard.
When Xiao Yun heard that the people brought by the maidservant girl were arrested, he was stunned. She thought that she was hiding well enough, and no one could find out, but she didn't expect to be defeated by Tang Muchen!
Tang Muchen brought her a letter, or she would take her son back to the frontier and never return to the palace. Or, go and surrender to the emperor yourself. Xiao Yun laughed wildly, if his father knew that he wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, how could he spare their mother and son!
She looked at her sleeping son in the bed and couldn't hold back her tears. She didn't want to die, and she didn't want to go back to the bitter cold. If she could protect him by apologizing for her sins, she would be willing to die.
She left a letter to the emperor, carelessly saying that she was terminally ill and really had no shame to face her son. I hope he will read for the sake of father and son and raise him to grow up.
After Tang Muchen found out, he was silent for a long time.
When Su Xiaojin was bored, he called Qin Wenya and accompanied him to go shopping. Qin Wenya hadn't gone out for a long time, so she just took this opportunity to breathe.
Ever since Qin Wenya knew that the legendary envoy of the Western Regions was Su Xiaojin's father, she was eager to learn more about the truth. However, I didn't have time anymore, so I kept it in my heart, and this time I took the opportunity to ask things clearly......
As they walked, they walked towards the shops lined up on both sides. They are in the most prosperous street of the imperial capital, and there are a variety of goods. The shopkeepers are all soliciting business at the door, flattering at the crowd passing by the door. Su Xiaojin and the others were gorgeously dressed, and they were even more eye-catching in the crowd.
Qin Wenya shouted to buy jewelry, and the two entered a jewelry store.
