When Jiang Xuanjin heard this, she couldn't squirt a mouthful of blood on her face!

What happened last night? Why is it just a "whim", and why do you need to give an "explanation"? If memory serves, the most he could do is miss her calf and nothing else. In her mouth, how can it be as if he has done something irreparable?

The eldest brother next to him, Jiang Chong's eyes were also very complicated, his mouth opened and closed, and he stopped talking.

Jiang Xuanjin knew what he was thinking at a glance, and shook his head with a dark face: "I'm not, I don't have ......"

Li Huaiyu pinched his handkerchief and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, nodded and said, "You don't, it's all me...... It's my own affection and empty hatred, it's me who can't paint it sincerely, and I regret the rest of my life because I made a mistake! It's me, it's all me! ”

The last word was almost shouted, with sadness, unwillingness, and remorse. She looked at Jiang Xuanjin, with three points of resentment in her apricot eyes, but there were seven points of affection, struggling, hesitating, and helpless. She stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch the corner of his clothes again, but as if she was afraid of something, she suddenly withdrew it, choked and didn't start.

I can't love, I can't hate, she is willing to carry all the stigma, only wish him ...... Can you be happy......

This superb performance shocked everyone in the front hall.

What an infatuated and unrepentant and ill-fated girl! For a while, Old Lady Jiang was a little unbearable, and the dragon's head staff slammed into the ground, glared at Jiang Xuanjin and said, "My Jiang family will not teach ungrateful people!" ”

No, how did he become ungrateful? Jiang Xuanjin looked at his father's indignant face, and was very dazed.

If I remember correctly, he came here today to break the jar and break it, anyway, sooner or later he will be discovered, he might as well take the initiative and make do with this Bai Sixiǎo jiě to marry this Bai Sixiǎo jiě, first, to block the mouths of the families who want to introduce him to the girl all day long, and second, to ...... As she said, she has hugged and kissed, and she must always be responsible.

If there is always a person to be stuffed into the backyard, then Jiang Xuanjin feels that it doesn't matter who it is.

As a result, he, the person who intends to be responsible, is scolded for being ungrateful?

After being dazed, Jiang Xuanjin glanced at the person next to him, and he felt that this Bai Si xiǎo jiě was really a fox who had become a thousand years old.

It's so demagogic!

"Old lady, don't blame you." Li Huaiyu sighed aggrievedly, "It's that the little girl is not good enough and is not worthy of the king." ”

The old lady frowned, held the dragon head staff and thought for a long time, and said: "Sixiǎo jiě don't be presumptuous, the Jiang and Bai families are world friends, and the daughter of the Bai family is naturally worthy of Xuan Jin." What's more, Xuan Jin has never been a woman, and you are the only one who can get close to him for so many years. Since he has spoken, there must be something that others can't reach. ”

Jiang Yan ran away from home, the marriage between Jiang and Bai and the two families was hanging in the air, and now Jiang Xuanjin finally came out to save the scene, and the one he wanted to marry happened to be the Bai family's xiǎo jiě, where is there any reason not to let him succeed?

Jiang Chong next to him hesitated for a moment, and said kindly: "Father is right. ”

Li Huaiyu paused, and looked at the old man in surprise. How reasonable is it? She's going to cry a little longer.

Jiang Xuanjin gritted his teeth in anger, but he was relieved that his goal had been achieved.

"Since the eldest brother and father both agree, then I will send Bai Sixiǎo Jiě back first." He said, "It's not too late to discuss the matter tomorrow when I come back." ”

"Okay." Old Man Jiang nodded, "Let people prepare the car, go early and return early." ”

"Yes."

Huai Yu was happy, lowered his head and followed Jiang Xuanjin to withdraw, and the smile on his face could not be hidden.

"You really want to marry me." She limped behind him on tiptoe, the corners of her mouth reaching the root of her ears, "It is really a blessing that I have cultivated in my lifetime to be able to get Ziyangjun's deep affection!" ”

After a pause, Jiang Xuanjin turned his head and looked at her condescendingly, his eyes were indifferent: "Self-inflicted affection and empty hatred? ”

The smile froze, Huaiyu took a step back weakly, and blinked, "I'm joking." ”

"Can't you draw a piece of sincerity?" He took a step forward and narrowed his eyes.

She took another step back: "It's a joke too." ”

"Wrong payment for life?"

“…… Hey, hey, hey! Seeing him getting closer and closer, Huaiyu felt a little out of breath, reached out against his chest, and whispered: "It's all for rhyme!" ”

Reaching out and squeezing his fist, he slammed into the vermilion lacquer pillar behind her, Jiang Xuanjin pressed her against the stone pillar, trapped between the square inches of the crook of her arm.

"And know the rhyme!" Ink-stained eyes stared at her, with a two-point sneer, "Do you want to set up a stall for you to tell stories?" ”

Shrinking his neck, Huaiyu flattened his mouth: "You can't be so stingy, it's you who slander me first, and I mean to slander you, otherwise how will I live in this mansion in the future!" ”

After speaking, he smiled and stretched out his hand and wrapped his neck: "You are so close to me, do you want to kiss me?" ”

With a cold snort, he straightened up and broke away from her hand: "I have something to say ahead." ”

"What?"

"Marrying you is the right thing to do at the right time." "It's not because of feelings. ”

This is said implicitly, to put it bluntly: I had no choice but to marry you, and if you hadn't entered my yard with a dead face and made everyone unable to get off the stage, I wouldn't have married you. I do not like you.

Huaiyu covered his heart quite hurtfully, and looked at him with tears in his eyes: "You are so indifferent, so ruthless, and so hard-hearted!" ”

Jiang Xuanjin frowned: "If you can't accept it, there is still room for this matter to turn around." ”

"Don't turn around, so be it." Instantly returning to his normal expression, Huaiyu said, "You don't have many wives, and I don't have many ministers." Since we get along quite happily, and I can eat and dress you if I marry you, so why don't you marry? ”

She can think about it, she can marry if she can eat enough and dress warmly, so there are really many people she can marry!

Jiang Xuanjin looked at her indifferent expression, and had the urge to lift her up and throw her out of the window.

Sensing the unfriendly gaze in front of him, Li Huaiyu paused, and then said with a hippie smile: "Besides, you have no feelings for me now, who can say for sure in the future, right?" There are so many girls in Kyoto who want to have a relationship with you, but they don't even have the qualifications to spend the rest of their lives with you, so I'm making a start! ”

Speaking of this, she was very proud, stretched out her hand to cross her waist, and straightened her chest.

Jiang Xuanjin rolled her eyes.

“xiǎo jiě。” Lingxiu, who was waiting in the distance, saw that the two of them had almost finished talking, and finally sent the crutches over.

Looking at this thing, Jiang Xuanjin finally knew why Fang Cai felt that something was wrong, glanced at her half-hanging right foot, and immediately darkened her face: "You want to be a cripple?" ”

"Nope." Huaiyu said, "But when you see your father for the first time, you can't hold on to a crutch, right?" That's ugly, and it doesn't make a good impression on him. You'll have to thank me for not using crutches, or he wouldn't have nodded so easily. ”

"You don't hurt?"

"It's fine." replied quickly, and felt a little lost, Huaiyu's eyes rolled, and he immediately wrinkled his face again, "Fortunately, I can bear it...... Hurt! Why doesn't it hurt! It hurts me! Give me a hand! ”

As he spoke, he reached out and was about to climb his shoulder.

Jiang Xuanjin sneered at her exaggerated acting skills, pinched her crutches and stuffed her arm, turned her head and left.

Touching the tip of his nose in embarrassment, Huaiyu asked Chengxu next to him: "Am I pretending to be so obvious?" ”

He smiled and nodded: "It's obvious." ”

patted his head, Huaiyu said "ouch", and hurriedly held his cane to chase the person in front of him.

Jiang Xuanjin planned to send her to Baifu, and by the way, he talked to Bai Dezhong in advance about the appointment of the next day. However, as soon as the carriage was halfway through, someone from the palace came and stopped the carriage very anxiously.

"Your Majesty!" The eunuch of the Yellow Gate stood in front of the car and gasped, "Your Majesty is in a hurry, please enter the palace immediately!" ”

Li Huaiyu, who was smiling and telling jokes to Jiang Xuanjin, froze.

Jiang Xuanjin frowned and lifted the curtain: "What's the matter?" ”

Han Xiao and Yun Lanqing entered the palace in half an hour, threatening to sue Prime Minister Shi Li for perjury. The two sides had a conflict in the imperial study, and His Majesty couldn't stop it, so he could only let the servants come to invite the king. ”

Looking at the sky, he was even more anxious: "The slave went to Jiangfu once, and chased him all the way, it has been delayed for a lot of hours, but it can't be delayed any longer!" ”

After hearing this, Jiang Xuanjin almost immediately wanted to nod, but after glancing at the people in the carriage, he hesitated slightly.

If he doesn't send her back, I'm afraid she won't be able to explain, right?

"State affairs matter!" Unknowingly, the person in the carriage was more anxious than him, and he jumped out of the car with his right foot in tow, and waved his hand at him a few times, "You go into the palace quickly!" ”

has always been a person who has always been a hanger, and suddenly he is so serious, Jiang Xuanjin is really not used to it. But her performance, he looked at it very well, and even felt a little commendable.

How many women today will be so aware of the importance and put national affairs first? didn't even think about whether she would be punished if she went back.

"Do you really want me to go?" He asked more.

Li Huaiyu glared: "Everyone is fighting in front of His Majesty, do you still have time to talk about this nonsense?" How did you act as a Ziyang Jun? ”

As he spoke, he picked up his crutches and poked forward against the wheels: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

This looks like an old mother who is very ironclad and rushes to make a contribution.

Looking at her funny, Jiang Xuanjin finally lowered the curtain and asked the coachman to reroute into the palace.

Li Huaiyu stood in place, watching the carriage drive all the way in the direction of the palace gate, and his heart was worried.

Han Xiao and Yun Lanqing, these two people are not impulsive people, they will be forced to follow, there must be evidence. If she had been there before, it would have been fine, but now ...... Without the arbitrariness of the eldest princess of Danyang, even if it is the right thing, it may not be able to have the right result.

After thinking about it, Huaiyu took out Lu Jingxing's inscription and stuffed it into Lingxiu's hand.

"Let's go to Lu Mansion again." She said, "Tell me a word." ”

Lingxiu listened to her muttering twice, nodded again and again, and walked with her to the official road of Chang'an, she went back to Baifu, and Lingxiu went to Lufu.

The backyard of the White House.

Sixiǎo jiě did not return to the White Mansion overnight, this matter was put in the past, Lingxiu did not go to tell it, and the people in the mansion would not know. But now it's different, Bai Xuanji has just gotten the nod of Old Lady Jiang, and she is going to be Jiang Yan's main wife! Such a happy event, how can it be more festive to pull Bai Zhuji, the former "future young lady", out and step on her feet.

As a result, the people of Fuli soon discovered that Sixiǎo Jiě was not in Fushang, and Lingxiu was also missing.

"Don't you feel ashamed and can't stay in the mansion anymore, so you leave by yourself, right?" The grandmothers with melon seeds squatted in the backyard and talked happily.

"It's so miserable, if I'm four, I'll go too! It's not as good as two xiǎo jiě everywhere, and even the marriage was robbed by two xiǎo jiě! ”

"How can this be considered a robbery? 二xiǎo jiě is fought for by his own ability, who is called four xiǎo jiě no out of breath, don't you say? ”

"yes." Someone behind answered.

The three grandmothers were stunned for a moment, feeling that this voice was a little familiar, and they all looked back together.

The beautiful woman dressed in silk and satin stood not far behind them, picked up the crutches on the ground, stroked her sideburns and smiled at them: "I also think that the four xiǎo jiě are not productive. ”

After speaking, he walked in the direction of the west courtyard with his crutches.

The grandmothers were stunned, and one asked, "Who is this?" The other said, "When we first came, there was no one under this corner, right?" ”

The last one had an ugly face, the melon seeds in his hand were not pinched steadily, and a few more fell off.

"That's four xiǎo jiě." She shuddered.

Accustomed to seeing the four fools with gray heads and dirty faces, at first glance, it is normal for them to not recognize them for a while. But after recognizing it, several grandmothers lost their composure, quickly collected the melon seeds, and rushed to find someone to complain.

So, as soon as Li Huaiyu returned to the wing room, drank a sip of water and was about to rest, five or six house slaves rushed to her.

"四xiǎo jiě, Mrs. please!"

Sighing, Huaiyu said, "My foot is injured and I can't walk." ”

The house slaves were stunned for a moment, and the one at the head frowned and said, "Madame's orders are not listened to?" ”

"I'm listening, you didn't listen well, did you?" Huaiyu raised her eyebrows, sat in the chair and crossed Erlang's legs, "Did Madam say 'please' me over?" ”

"Yes."

"This 'please' is for you to 'please', and you have to be responsible for inviting me over." She had a look of disbelief, "Don't you understand this rule?" I've got a broken foot, and you're going to carry me over with a chair!" ”

The "......" house slaves looked at each other.

"Don't be stupid, come and carry it, otherwise what are so many of you doing here?" Huaiyu leaned back comfortably and patted the armrest at them.

After thinking about her words twice, the more she thought about it, the more reasonable it became, a few house slaves combined, one of them lifted a chair leg, and then left someone behind to support her, and invited Li Huaiyu out steadily.

East Courtyard.

Bai Meng's clan sent a few strong house slaves, originally because they were afraid that she would resist like before, and planned to let these people forcibly hold her. Who would have thought that a moment later, several house slaves would respectfully carry her in.

"What is this for!" Bai Mengshi frowned, and slapped his hand on the table, "What kind of system!" ”

The house slaves were startled, quickly put down their chairs, and retreated to the side at a loss.

Huaiyu stood up with a grin and saluted her casually.

"Where have you been?" Bai Mengshi said sharply, "I didn't return all night, should it be the woman in the boudoir?" Don't kneel yet! ”

Li Huaiyu didn't want to kneel, but he was under the eaves and had to be obedient. After two rubbings, she still knelt down honestly.

Seeing her kneeling, Bai Mengshi began to ask questions: "The Bai family has always been upright, but somehow there is a lawless person like you!" Your second sister is about to marry into Jiangfu, what kind of heart do you have to ruin the reputation of the Bai family at this juncture? ”

Bai Xuanji sat next to her, with a dignified posture and a smile. Hearing this, she said softly: "Mother doesn't have to blame the fourth sister like this, she must not know about the change in the marriage." ”

Glancing at her, Li Huaiyu said, "I know." ”

"Oh?" Bai Xuanji paused, and then smiled more gently, "It's good that the fourth sister knows, I don't know how to speak...... I'm really sorry for the fourth sister. ”

said so, but there was no guilt on his face, and there was even a little pride in his eyes.

Little girl, robbing someone else's marriage and showing off to others, she naturally wants to be proud. Li Huaiyu looked at her expression, and then thought of the young master Jiang who ran away from home, and suddenly felt a little happy in his heart: "It's okay, I don't blame you." ”

Ming'er can't tell who blames whom!

Seeing that she was not angry at all, but still a little happy, Bai Xuanji frowned: "If the fourth sister is dissatisfied, you can directly tell the second sister, and the second sister will also compensate you." ”

"No, no, no." Li Huaiyu waved his hand generously, "I don't need compensation." ”

"Since you can see it so openly, why do you have to embarrass your second sister?" Bai Mengshi frowned and said, "It's all a family, you can't help your second sister, forget it, why do you want to use treacherous tricks to hinder her?" ”

Li Huaiyu couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it: "Where did I hinder her?" ”

"You don't return overnight, ruining the reputation of Baifu, isn't it an obstacle?" Bai Mengshi raised his eyebrows, "Do you know that when this news spreads, people will look down on your second sister?" ”

I really don't know, Huaiyu was silent.

The more Bai Mengshi spoke, the more angry he became: "Where did you spend the night last night?" ”

On this issue...... Huaiyu hesitated for a moment and said, "I was in Jiangfu yesterday. ”

Jiangfu?

This was ridiculous, and Bai Mengshi sneered almost immediately: "What are you daydreaming about? What about returning to Jiangfu, why don't you talk about the palace? ”

The maids and women standing around also lowered their heads and laughed, looking at her with disgust and ridicule.

Bai Xuanji didn't smile, she looked at Li Huaiyu's clothes seriously, and frowned: "So you stole this outfit just to go to Jiangfu?" ”

As soon as she said this, Bai Mengshi noticed the person's outfit below, she got up and walked to Huaiyu, and reached out to pull off one of her hairpins.

"Really...... You're really going to be angry with your dad to rest assured! Looking at the workmanship of the hairpin, Bai Mengshi said angrily, "Is the house a loss to you or what, it actually asks you to steal something!" ”

Huaiyu frowned and glanced at Bai Xuanji: "This hairpin is a gift from a friend, and the second sister doesn't know it at all, so why is it that I stole it?" ”

Bai Xuanji frowned and shook her head: "Friends give each other? Don't you think this excuse is ridiculous? You have been in Baifu for so many years, and there is no one around you except Lingxiu, when did you meet such a generous friend? ”

"Not to mention this hairpin, the clothes on your body and the jewelry on your head, add up to more than half a year's worth of money for your father. What friend would be so generous? ”

When everyone heard this, they all felt that it made sense, and Bai Mengshi was even more furious, and slapped Li Huaiyu with a slap: "You shameless thing!" ”

The palm wind whistled, with full force, and fell on her face to swell her. Li Huaiyu looked at it, his body's reaction was faster than his brain, and he raised his head to avoid the slap.

"Whew-" The hand swept into the air, and the strength was not stopped, and he almost twisted his arm.

Bai Meng's face suddenly turned blue and purple: "You still dare to hide?!" ”

"I have to be beaten to understand it one by one." Huaiyu knelt on her left foot, looked up at her and said, "I didn't steal this thing, the second sister has no evidence, it's pure slander." It would be unfair for you to do it indiscriminately. ”

said, and looked at Bai Xuanji again: "The second sister thinks that I can't have such a generous friend, so I want to ask the second sister, with my soft ...... Well, it's quite a weak body, where are you going to steal so many things? ”

Bai Xuanji pinched the handkerchief and said, "I'm sure you stole it, so naturally I know where you stole it from—these things are all in my dowry list." Last night when I returned home, I went with my mother to count the dowry, and found that a lot of things were missing. I thought it was someone whose hands and feet were unclean, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”

"Huh-" The maids standing next to them were shocked. It's shameless to steal your sister's dowry to wear!

Li Huaiyu was also shocked, she always admitted that she was shameless, but she didn't expect that this Bai family was even more shameless than her.

"Your dowry?" Laughing in surprise, she reached out and picked a gold-inlaid jade peony and pinched it in her hand, "Then let me ask the second sister, where did you buy your dowry?" Is there a mark on the jewelry? ”

Bai Xuanji choked slightly.

Bai Mengshi frowned and said, "It was you who stole something, why did you question your second sister in turn!" Someone, take her outfit off for me! ”

"Yes!" A few maids next to him responded, and they wanted to do it when they came up.

Li Huaiyu sneered, supported the ground with one hand, and kicked the maid who rushed to the front and flew out.

"Ahh

The rest of the people were startled and stopped in their tracks.

Li Huaiyu turned his head, looked at the person sitting upright, and stretched out an index finger towards her with a sneer: "Bai Xuanji, you'd better give evidence today to prove that I stole your dowry." Otherwise, I promise that after stealing your dowry, there will be no half silk left! ”

Bai Xuanji was startled, her face turned pale, and she frowned: "You threaten me? ”

"It's really against you!" Bai Mengshi slapped the case angrily, "Come on, tie her up for me!" ”

"Yes!" A group of house slaves poured in from outside, and the lobby was suddenly crowded. The timid maid stepped back, and the sturdy house slave rolled up his sleeves and rushed at her.

Frankly speaking, it is difficult to defeat the two fists around, and in the face of so many people, Li Huaiyu knows that he is in a catastrophe today. However, the descendants of the Li family have the arrogance of the royal family, and they know their final fate in their hearts, and they desperately want to bite off a few pieces of meat from the other party to be buried!

As a result, the east courtyard became lively, with screams, cups and plates falling to the ground, fists to flesh, and the sound of ears.

Bai Xuanji could still watch calmly at first, but then she saw Li Huaiyu smashing a house slave against the wall, smashing her head full of blood, and she finally screamed in fright.

"You're crazy!"

The injured right foot was not flexible, and he was caught and stepped on several times. Li Huaiyu smiled, used his strength on his left foot, wiped a handful of blood foam that was beaten out of the corner of his mouth, turned his head and hit another house slave.

Most of the things in the house that could be broken were broken. Bai Meng's face turned pale with distress, and he wanted to shout to stop at first, but then he became mad and shouted at the top of his voice: "Beat her to death!" ”

The house slaves originally had scruples, but as soon as they heard this, they let go, and their hands were heavier.

Half an hour later, Li Huaiyu had a cut on his forehead, blood flowed all over his face, and he was pressed by the last house slave and knelt in front of Bai Meng.

The room was full of people, and they were falling, and they were paralyzed. In the midst of the chaos, only the eyes of the man kneeling on the ground were as bright as the stars.

Bai Mengshi was shocked and frightened, stared at her, and almost ripped off the jewelry on her body one by one with shaking hands.

"You...... Do you know how many house rules you've broken! ”

Li Huaiyu hooked her lips and looked at her with a smile on her eyebrows.

Seeing that she was not in the slightest pain, Bai Mengshi was even more angry: "I don't go home at night, steal the treasures in the house, commit the following crimes, fight and fight, and destroy my house!" All these charges add up, and it is not too much for me to let you receive a fine of twenty strokes! ”

"I advise you not to." Huaiyu smiled, "Otherwise, tomorrow I will be scolded by my father." ”

Hearing this, Bai Mengshi smiled: "Do you think the master still takes you seriously?" It's enough for him to have a daughter, how can he have time to care about your life or death? Even if I kill you, it will be years before he learns of your death. ”

Awesome! If it weren't for the hands being held, Huaiyu would have wanted to applaud her.

"I've reminded you when it's time to remind you, so do whatever you want." She said, "When the time comes, don't say that I deliberately hurt you." ”

Bai Mengshi didn't understand what she meant, so he just thought she was scaring people, and waved his sleeves and said: "I am the head of the Bai family, and I deal with people according to the family rules, what's wrong?" Even if the master asks, I'm not wrong! Come on, drag her to the yard, and ask for family law! ”

"Yes!"

At noon, when the spring sun was in the sky, Jiang Xuanjin was listening to Han Xiao and Yun Lanqing talking in the imperial study, and he felt a tightness in his heart unguardedly.

Frowning, he reached out to probe his heart, a little inexplicable.

"You think it's ridiculous, right?" Han Xiao said in a deep voice, "The dignified prime minister has a long history, and his heart is so narrow-minded, just because the eldest princess once said that he 'has no talent to assist the country', he has a grudge, and he has been embarrassed with the princess for so many years, forget it, in the case of Prime Minister Sima Cheng, he actually made perjury because of personal vendetta!" ”

Jiang Xuanjin came back to his senses, took the things handed by the emperor and looked at them.

This is the confession of several slaves of the Li Mansion, which states that on the evening of February 20, that is, around the time of Sima Xu's death, Li Feng returned to the house drunk and was not present.

When Sima Xu's case was reviewed, Li Fengxing testified in court, saying that he was walking outside the palace with Sima Xu, and unfortunately met the eldest princess of Danyang, and the princess asked Prime Minister Sima Cheng to rest in the nearby Fukang Palace. At that time, this testimony was very crucial, and it directly pushed all the suspicions on Danyang's head.

And now, this confession turned out to be fake?

Jiang Xuanjin was stunned, and suddenly remembered what Qingsi said yesterday - you just used the villain as a knife, do you really think you did the right thing?

With a sinking heart, he accepted the confession in his hand and looked at Li Fengxing, who was kneeling down: "What does Li Changshi have to argue?" ”

Li Fengxing snorted lightly and arched his hand: "This case is closed, and Wei Chen doesn't know what the purpose of the two adults is still entangled in this matter." Just based on a few casual words from his subordinates, will the king and His Majesty condemn the ministers? ”

"A few casual words?" Yun Lanqing raised her eyebrows and glared at him fiercely, "The two house slaves on the confession, one has been in your house for seven years, and the other is your nurse. If you are chased and killed every day, you come to sue at the risk of death, but you can say that it is 'a few casual words'? ”

Glancing at him, Li Fengxing straightened his back: "So what?" Why they were hunted down, Weichen didn't know. But this confession is really false, if the monarch and His Majesty even believe this, then Weichen will be able to submit dozens of confessions from other domestic slaves when he goes back, proving that Weichen did not return to the house that night. ”

"You ......"

Li Huailin sat on the dragon chair, watching the three important ministers arguing, and he didn't have an idea for a while, so he couldn't help but look sideways: "What does the king think?" ”

Jiang Xuanjin said: "The case has already been closed, there is no need to argue again. ”

Han Xiao was furious, almost about to scold, but Yun Lanqing next to him hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and shook his head.

Li Fengxing smiled and saluted him: "The king is wise." ”

"There's nothing else to do, Li Changshi will go and get busy first, the new prime minister hasn't taken office yet, you have to work harder." Li Huailin said.

"Wechen retired." Glancing at the two people next to him, Li Fengxing sneered, got up and turned his head to leave.

Han Xiao has a violent temper, but in front of the saint, he can't be too rude, so he has to hold it back, and his face is red.

The door of the main hall was closed, and Jiang Xuanjin looked at Han Xiao: "I have a question for my lord." ”

"Han is a shallow learner, where can he answer your doubts." Han Xiao bowed his hand with a cold face, "Say goodbye first!" ”

As he spoke, he walked out as he walked.

Li Huailin looked at it and shook his head. This Lord Han's temper is really the worst among the hundred officials, and he even dares to brush Ziyangjun's face.

However, Jiang Xuanjin was not angry, seeing that he was leaving, he got up and quickly went up to stop the person.

"Stay, sir." He looked up at him and said, "This is a question that only adults can answer." ”

Han Xiao already looked at Jiang Xuanjin very unpleasantly, and coupled with his biased attitude, he was even more angry. Now that he was being stopped, Han Xiao finally couldn't help it, and hit him with a punch!

"Lord Han!" Li Huailin stood up from the dragon chair and frowned and snorted.

Yun Lanqing was also shocked enough, first saluted the emperor, and then walked up quickly to pull the frame.

However, this tiger punch did not fall on Jiang Xuanjin's body, Yun Lanqing stared, and saw Ziyangjun reaching out to catch his fist, and the force in his hand softened the rigidity, drawing an oblique arc in the air, and then returned his strength without any difference.

Phew-

Han Xiao took half a step back, and his heels stomped on the ground to stabilize his body. Looking up at him again, his temper was already half smaller, and he turned back to the front of the palace and knelt down with his head bored.

"What's the problem?" He asked angrily.

Following him back a few steps, Jiang Xuanjin said in a low voice: "Lord Han is wise, why is he willing to lose his reputation and support the eldest princess of Danyang?" ”

"I'd like to know that, too." The emperor sitting on the throne looked at them and said, "Although the imperial sister is not bad in nature, nothing she has done is worthy of praise. Why did the two adults protect her so far, and even did not hesitate to avenge her after the case was closed? ”

These words came out of Jiang Xuanjin's mouth, and Han Xiao and Yun Lanqing felt complicated at most. But from the mouth of the emperor...... Han Xiao smiled bitterly, he felt sad, from the tip of his heart to his back.

In the past, the eldest princess was still there, wearing a Yaochi Peony Palace costume as fierce as fire, sitting on the edge of the high stage, looking down at him.

"Lord Han." She said, "You can think about it, follow me in the same boat, and you will never get praise and admiration in the future, and the good reputation you have saved in the past 20 years will all be in vain." ”

At that time, Han Xiao replied beautifully: "The princess is still fearless and fearless, why should the minister be cowardly?" ”

Danyang clapped his hands and laughed when he heard him, and after laughing, he said unconvinced: "I'm not an ordinary girl!" I have an amazing emperor brother! ”

Han Xiao disagreed with this, Li Huailin has not made any achievements in the five years since he succeeded to the throne, how can he say that he is "amazing"?

Danyang guessed his mind as soon as he swept his expression, and immediately stared: "Don't look down on people!" In a few years, Huailin will be praised by all the people! He would be a good emperor! ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the imperial flag floating in the distance, and his eyes were very determined: "Absolutely!" ”

Looking at her eyes, Han Xiao understood. It is not her identity that supports the eldest princess to have the courage to be involved in countless disputes, but Li Huailin. Everything she has done over the years is to allow her royal brother to sit on the throne.

And now, Li Huailin also asked them: Why?

Han Xiao's eyes were red, his mouth opened, and he wanted to pat the imperial desk and tell him everything! No matter what he does, he can't let the eldest princess die and still carry so many charges!

However, after glancing at the confession that had been casually thrown on the table, Han Xiao shut up.

No one will believe it, even if he avenges Danyang and writes his 180 confessions, it will be like these two pieces of paper, just like these two pieces of paper, being placed here at random and treated as unconvincing nonsense.

Lowering his head gloomily, he smiled bitterly and said, "Weichen thinks the princess is a good person. ”

Jiang Xuanjin frowned, and Li Huailin was obviously very dissatisfied with this dá àn: "There are no outsiders here, why don't adults want to say it directly?" ”

Han Xiao didn't say anything more, but Yun Lanqing next to him stepped forward, looked at Jiang Xuanjin and said, "The king personally set the princess's crime, the crime written by himself, and the poisonous wine sent by himself." Doesn't it seem ridiculous to ask me this question now? ”

It was he who wanted to kill her, he had already decided that the eldest princess of Danyang was a person who deserved to die for his heinous crimes, no matter how good they said, it was useless, so why bother?

Jiang Xuanjin lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and said, "I just did what I had to do, and I didn't target her." ”

In other words, as long as the evidence is conclusive and he commits an unforgivable crime, he will also write the guilt in his own hand and send poisoned wine with his own hands.

Yun Lanqing and Han Xiao obviously didn't believe this, Yun Lanqing arched his hand and said: "If you really have doubts, it is better to seriously investigate Prime Minister Sima Cheng's case again." Prime Minister Sima was not killed by the eldest princess, and this can be regarded as one of the reasons why the two of us supported the eldest princess in the first place. ”

After saying that, he saluted Li Huailin again: "Lord Han is reckless today, and the minister is willing to take him down to receive the punishment." ”

Li Huailin frowned and looked at the two people for a long time, and nodded.

Yun Lanqing left with Han Xiao, and there were only two people left in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty." Li Huailin asked, "Do you suspect that the imperial sister is wronged?" ”

Jiang Xuanjin shook his head and said nothing.

It was a very clear murder case, but because of the two sheets of paper on the table, there seemed to be some fog.

He just said that there was no need to investigate the closure of the case, it was false, it was just to stabilize Li Feng's execution. Danyang was his student and fought with him for many years. Her death is suspicious, and he will definitely look into it.

It's just that Han Xiao and Yun Lanqing are afraid that they won't tell him the truth for the time being.

Gathering his mind, he turned his head to Li Huailin and said: "The minister is about to get married, and around the twenty-first of next month, I hope that Your Majesty will take a leave in advance." ”

Li Huailin was still thinking about the matter of the imperial sister, and when he heard this, he was so shocked that he stood up directly: "The king wants to get married?!" ”

"Yes."

"Which girl is so powerful that she can make you have the intention of starting a family?" Li Huailin was happy and curious.

With that face that was always not serious in his mind, Jiang Xuanjin subconsciously shook his head: "She's not powerful, at most she's powerful." ”

After thinking about it, he added: "The courage is also very big." ”

Li Huailin looked at his expression dumbfounded, and felt that it was about to rain red in the sky.

What's going on with this kind of glowing look in people's eyes? Ziyangjun, who has known him for almost eight years, has he never been close to women?

"Hearing what the king said, when I got married, I would definitely go and see it." Li Huailin smiled, "Congratulations first." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Xuanjin arched his hand, looked at the hourglass, and looked slightly solemn, "If there is nothing else, the minister will leave the palace first, and there are still things to be done." ”

"Okay." Li Huailin bowed.

Carefully folded the confession on the table and put it in his arms, Jiang Xuanjin strode out of the palace and went straight to the White Mansion.

Bai Dezhong was busy with affairs today, and he never returned home, and when he arrived, it was still Bai Mengshi who came out to greet him.

"Your Excellency is coming, and you are not welcome." Bai Mengshi was overjoyed when he saw him, "Why did you come here at this time?" But what do you have to tell Xuanji? ”

Looking at her side, only Bai Er xiǎo jiě saluted him dignified and generous, Jiang Xuanjin was a little puzzled: "Where is Bai Si xiǎo jiě?" ”

Bai Meng was stunned for a moment, and then his expression was a little strange: "What is the king looking for her?" ”

Asking like that? Jiang Xuanjin was slightly puzzled: "When she came back, didn't she say anything?" ”

With her big grinning temperament, shouldn't she beat gongs and drums to tell everyone that she is going to marry Ziyangjun? How could this Mrs. Bai family react like this?

"Your Majesty!" Without waiting for Bai Mengshi to speak, Lingxiu broke through the barrier of the house slave at the door and knelt in front of him, "Jun Shang, save my family!" ”

The voice was so terrible that he almost broke his voice, and when he raised his head, his eyes were red and swollen.

Jiang Xuanjin was shocked, and the sudden tightness in his heart came again.

"Presumptuous!" Bai Mengshi hurriedly asked people to drag Lingxiu down, "In front of the king, how can you speak!" Pull down the palm! ”

A few house slaves came to arrest people quickly, and Jiang Xuanjin shouted in a low voice: "Slow! ”

Bai Mengshi was taken aback: "Your Majesty? ”

Walking in front of Lingxiu, Jiang Xuanjin asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lingxiu choked up and pointed to Bai Meng's mother and daughter: "The slave maid was ordered to deliver things elsewhere, and when she came back, she found that Xiǎo Jiě had been beaten half to death by them and locked up in a firewood room, covered in blood!" The slaves wanted to go in and have a look, but they locked the door with their backhands! ”

His pupils shrank, and Jiang Xuanjin looked sideways at the two people next to him.

Bai Mengshi didn't react at all, she knew that Ziyangjun and Bai Zhuji knew each other, and the two of them also went back to the house together last time. But no matter how you look at it, there can't be any deep relationship between these two people, after all, this is Ziyangjun!

But what's going on right now? Just because of the evil appearance of a maid, Ziyangjun actually looked at her with such cold and sharp eyes?

Bai Meng's eyes were dazed, but his legs were inexplicably a little weak.

Waving his hand to let Chengxu take Lingxiu with him, Jiang Xuanjin didn't say much, and walked towards the mansion.

"Mother, what can I do about this?" Bai Xuanji was anxious, "The gentleman is Jiang Yan's uncle, so if he sees us treating Zhuji like this, will he go back and talk to Jiang Yan?" The little master will think that I have a bad heart! ”

"Don't worry." Coming back to her senses, Bai Mengshi took her hand and stabilized her, "Bai Zhuji deserves it, it's useless for anyone to come." Besides, this is our Bai family's family matter, and even if he is Ziyangjun, he can't interfere. Let's go, let's see! ”

Bai Xuanji bit her lip and nodded, lifted her skirt and followed Bai Meng's family.

Lingxiu ran very fast, almost rolling and crawling on the ground to lead the way. Seeing the firewood room from a distance, she stretched out her hand and pointed: "It's the one in front!" ”

Jiang Xuanjin walked over quickly, looked at the lock on the door, and shouted: "Take advantage of it!" ”

The one next to him took advantage of the weakness and drew his sword and cut the chain into two pieces.

"Uhh

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Li Huaiyu in the firewood room coughed for a while, half-raised his eyelids and looked at the person, and it took a long time to see who it was, and grinned, "Why are you here?" ”

Jiang Xuanjin looked at the situation in the firewood room in shock, walked in, and reached out to touch her forehead. But halfway through her hand, she was frightened by the blood on her head.

"What's that look like?" Huaiyu wanted to move his body, but he froze, gasped and said, "Ziyang-jun is suitable for a face that can't be shaken, so it looks unfathomable, and your frowning appearance is a bit scary." ”

said, and flattened his mouth: "But I'm really stuck to the wall now, and I have to hug you to get up." ”

Jiang Xuanjin opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the smell of blood rushed from her body back to her throat.

He was silent, his fingers folded, his knuckles pinched white. It seems that my chest is also clutched by something, and I am a little out of breath.

It was the air in the firewood room that smelled too bad, he thought, slowly lowered his body, and picked her up.

"Really hug me?" Huaiyu looked at his clothes with a smile, "You love to be clean, my body is stained with blood, don't want your robe." ”

It's just a robe, if you don't want it, you don't want it. He hugged her and turned to look at the people outside the door.

Bai Mengshi and Bai Xuanji stood outside, already dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, this ......" Bai Mengshi pointed to the man in his arms, "She broke a lot of family rules, and she fought with domestic slaves to become like this, this belongs to the family affairs of Baifu." ”

After a pause, he felt that the momentum was not enough, so he said with a shelf: "In the backyard of this Baifu, everything is decided by the master mother!" ”

The implication: Are you a little too wide?

Jiang Xuanjin walked towards her.

Bai Mengshi was stunned, and subconsciously grabbed Bai Xuanji's hand beside him. Ziyangjun is imposing, even if it is on her territory, she doesn't dare to look at it head-on. Although I knew that he wouldn't do it, it was still scary to walk over like this.

"It's all ......," she wanted to say, it was all the rules of the house, and she couldn't be blamed.

However, at the same time as she spoke, Jiang Xuanjin hugged Bai Zhuji and passed past her, as if she hadn't seen her at all, and walked straight forward.

"Lingxiu." His voice was still coming from behind, "Where does your family Xiǎo Jiě live?" ”

Lingxiu, who was dumbfounded behind him, came back to his senses and hurriedly followed. As he passed by the two of them, he frowned and glanced at them, then ran faster.

Bai Meng's face instantly became ugly.

There are also many domestic slaves around, all of whom see the situation in their eyes. She, the housewife who is quite authoritative in the mansion, can't even say a word in front of Ziyangjun.

What is this!

West Courtyard.

Jiang Xuanjin stepped into the small room with Li Huaiyu in her arms, her eyes swept around inside, and she was silent for a long time.

Before she said that she was not having a good time in Baifu, he didn't believe it. It's Bai Dezhong's biological daughter, how bad can it be?

However, when he saw it with his own eyes, he felt a very strange feeling in his heart, as if he was back in the firewood room, and the air around him was so full of dust that he could not breathe.

Walking to the side of the bed and putting down the half-conscious person in her arms, Jiang Xuanjin ripped off her dirty coat and helped her lie down on the bed.

Between the swings, the cuffs opened slightly, and he looked down to see the bruises on her arms. Frowning slightly, he thought for a moment and reached out to pull up her sleeves little by little.

Blue, purple, black, large patches of bruise spread from her wrists to her arms, and the more she rolled up her sleeves, the more bruises there became.

Jiang Xuanjin looked very bad, thought for a while, and said to Chengxu: "You go back to the house and let me know." ”

"Inform what?" He bowed and asked.

Sweeping around the room with a deep gaze, Jiang Xuanjin said, "Just say that I am in Baifu and will not go back tonight." ”

took advantage of the false alarm: "Master? ”

Even if Bai Si Xiǎo Jiě was seriously injured, he couldn't help but go home! If the old lady asks the reason, how should he respond?

"If the family asks, you can tell the truth." Jiang Xuanjin said very calmly, "Early tomorrow morning, please ask my father to bring the eldest brother and second brother and send the dowry gift for me." ”

After a pause, he added: "Let them all come, no one can be left behind." ”
