As soon as the next day dawned, bursts of joy and firecrackers sounded throughout the capital, and the mighty procession stretched for miles, and the jewelry and utensils for the dowry alone were enough to load twenty-four carriages. Everyone in the capital was talking about this grand harmony, and no one cared that under this glamorous appearance, a cardamom girl was about to be married to an old man in his twilight.

Xiao Xiwei didn't go out to get married, but even if she stayed in King Yan's mansion, she could hear the bursts of joy and firecrackers outside.

There was another person who went to see off his relatives this time, that is, Lu Haiyang, who had just been dismissed from the position of deputy commander of the forbidden army.

It seems that the person who eavesdropped in Chuxiu Palace really had something to do with Lu Haiyang.

It's just that this time, I'm afraid that I will disappoint this Lord Lu again.

Thinking of this, a cold smile flashed across Xiao Xi's lips.

It was a tiring journey from the capital to Beimo, coupled with so many dowries and escort teams, and it didn't take half a month to get to Beimo. And although Lu Haiyang guessed that Xiao Xiwei would do it on the way to get married, he really couldn't guess where Xiao Xiwei chose to do it, so he was tense and careful to be careful all the way, which was a big test for anyone.

There is no news from the side of sending relatives, but there is news from the side of Zhongyong Houfu that the old lady is seriously ill.

When Xiao Xiwei rushed to the Zhongyong Waiting Mansion, the old lady's bed was already full of people. Xiao Xiwei's grandfather Xiao Qi, father Xiao Yan, as well as Zhou Shumei and Xiao Xirui in infancy.

Seeing Xiao Xiwei coming in, Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and said to the old lady on the bed, "Mother, Wei'er is here." After speaking, he took a few steps back so that Xiao Xiwei could come over.

Xiao Xi hurriedly walked to the bed.

The old lady on the bed had sunken cheeks, and her face was a decadent grayish-white.

"Grandmother, you...... What's wrong with you? Xiao Xiwei stretched out his hand to hold the old lady's thin hand, and tears welled up at once.

Hot tears fell on the back of the old lady's hand, and the old lady pulled the corner of her mouth hard, then raised her hand and waved it gently.

"Let's all go out, your mother wants to talk to Wei'er alone." Zhongyong, who had been standing motionless on the side, waited for Xiao Qi to speak in a deep voice.

As Xiao Qi spoke, everyone in the room exited the room in turn.

"Grandmother ......"

"Silly girl, what are you crying about, people always have to leave, sooner or later." The old lady smiled, raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears on Xiao Xi's cheeks.

"Grandmother, I don't allow you to say such things." Xiao Xi hurriedly frowned and interrupted the old lady's words.

The old lady pursed the corners of her lips, her gaze went all the way down, and finally landed on Xiao Xi's slightly deaf lower abdomen, "It's almost five months......

Xiao Xi nodded slightly, holding the old lady's hand and sticking it to his lower abdomen, "I still want to wait for him (her) to be born, and ask my grandmother to give him a name." ”

"I'll take a name...... Old Taijun gently stroked Xiao Xi's slightly bulging lower abdomen, frowned and thought for a while, "That's called Huangye." ”

"Grandmother, you're taking a boy's name! Perhaps, the granddaughter has a girl in her belly? Xiao Xi chuckled softly.

The old lady's eyes were as soft as the light of water in the warm spring sun, "No, he's a boy." ”

"Grandmother ......"

The old lady suddenly grabbed Xiao Xiwei's hand and looked at her with burning eyes, "Wei'er, Rui'er, I want you to send Rui'er out of the capital." ”

"Grandmother......" Xiao Xi was slightly stunned.

"You promise me!" The old lady held Xiao Xiwei's hand vigorously and asked persistently.

In the whirlpool of this struggle for imperial power, the Zhongyong Houfu has been swept in, and it is impossible to retreat with his whole body, but the change of imperial power, who can predict the final result until the end. She couldn't do anything, and the only thing she could do now was to preserve a little blood for the Loyal Warrior Mansion.

"Grandmother, have you discussed this with your father?" Xiao Xi said in a low voice.

"He doesn't need to know, especially Zhou!" The old lady's cloudy gaze suddenly crossed a sharp light, and suddenly, she held Xiao Xiwei's hand and raised her body with struggle, "She can't stay anymore!" ”

Xiao Xi's slight pupils suddenly slid through a trace of surprise, "Grandmother......"

She didn't say the latter words, because the old lady's originally cloudy eyes were full of cold killing intent at the moment.

In the end, the corners of Xiao Xi's lips moved slightly, she lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Grandmother, do you have to do this?" ”

"For the sake of loyalty, and, as well as your father, you must ...... Be sure to get rid of her scourge! The old lady squeezed Xiao Xiwei's hand hard, and her voice seemed to seep out of the cold cracks, braving the chill of Sensen.

Looking at the old lady's persistent and cruel eyes, Xiao Xi took a deep breath and finally nodded vigorously.

Seeing that Xiao Xi responded slightly, the old lady smiled, suddenly, the whole thing shook, and then the whole person fell back to the bed......

"Grandmother." Xiao Xi hurriedly got up and shouted vigorously.

The old lady on the bed did not react at all.

She originally tried her best to wait for Xiao Xiwei's answer, but now that Xiao Xiwei came down, as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't get up again.

Xiao Xi gritted her teeth slightly, her body couldn't help but start to tremble slightly, she looked at the old lady for a while, and then slowly reached out and probed at the old lady's snort. "Grandmother......" Xiao Xi shouted slightly sadly, and then knelt down.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Qi and the others, who had been waiting outside the door, hurriedly ran in.

The heavy cry in her ears kept knocking on Xiao Xiwei's chest, and she looked at the silent old lady on the bed, and then she believed that her grandmother was really gone. The grandmother who trusted her and nurtured her is gone...... She had been sick in bed for so long, but she hadn't done anything, not even to visit her once......

Tears kept pouring out, but no matter what, she couldn't wash away the guilt in her heart.

"Princess, don't cry, watch your body." Ziyan saw Xiao Xi's slightly sad expression, although his face was full of tears, he didn't make any sound, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade worriedly.

Xiao Yan, who was crying on the side, came back to his senses, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiao Xiwei up, "Your grandmother loves you the most, you are in a tight position now, don't be too sad." After that, he said to Ziyan, "Help your princess go down to rest, I am here." ”

"Yes." Ziyan blessed Xiao Yan, and hurriedly hugged Xiao Xi and retreated.

At this time, the subordinates outside had already begun to get busy, and pieces of white silk were gradually hung on the pillars of the corner of the Zhongyong Waiting Mansion.

Soon, some people went to various mansions in the capital to report their funerals. The identity of the old lady was there, and after a while, someone came to the door to offer condolences. This funeral was personally handled by Zhou Shumei, everything was done in an orderly manner, all the funeral supplies of the old lady were extremely luxurious, without a trace of mistakes, and the women who came to mourn had to say a few words to her.

Xiao Xiwei, who had recovered from her sadness, looked at Zhou Shumei, who was greeting the concubine, and the old lady's words suddenly rang in her ears.

He doesn't need to know! Especially Zhou! She can't stay any longer!

What did Zhou Shumei do to make the old lady hold on to her breath and confess to herself except her? If she just wanted her son to inherit the title of Zhongyong Houfu, then just send Xiao Xirui away, so why bother with her?

For the sake of loyalty, and, as well as your father, you must ...... Unless she is the scourge!

Father, does this matter still involve my father?

"Hongyu, you go to find Mama Liu, and say that I have something to ask her." Xiao Xi turned his head slightly and lightly ordered Hongyudao.

Hongyu blessed his body, and then turned around and left.

Shuyingxuan.

"You said, Qian Xiao and Zhou Shumei had an affair!" Xiao Xi bounced up from the chair in shock.

Her movements were too big, and Ziyan next to her turned pale in fright, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Princess, don't panic first, listen to Mama Liu finish her words first." ”

Mama Liu nodded, "The old lady was very happy to get the news that the princess was pregnant, so she ordered the slave maid to take the gold collar and want to go to the gold shop to re-make an auspicious style to send to the princess, but she never thought about it, but she bumped into Zhou's personal girl Pei'er sneakily waiting for someone at the door of the pharmacy, and after a while, Qian Xiao walked out of the pharmacy and handed over a pack of medicine to the girl, the slave was still suspicious, so she went to the pharmacy, and then said that the girl grabbed a pair of abortion pills. Speaking of this, a trace of disgust flashed in Mama Liu's eyes, "Originally, the slave maid thought that maybe that girl had done something shameless, but later she secretly checked, but it turned out to be Zhou!" Mama Liu was already a little gnashing her teeth in the end.

"This Zhou's family, it's really in vain that Miss Fei helped her so much! What a shameless woman! The purple smoke on the side also heard the sound of chirping.

Xiao Xi slightly looked at the baby and did not answer.

Zhou Shumei's eyes are above the top, at the beginning, Xiao Min intended to let her enter the mansion as a concubine, but she was still a little resistant, how could she fall in love with Qian Xiao? What's more, now that she is the mother of the Houfu, she holds the power to be in charge of the house, and she is accompanied by a young son, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to have anything to do with Qian Xiao, so the only possibility is that Qian Xiao has done something from it. But why did Qian Xiao beat Zhou Shumei's idea, if it was to avenge her sister being kicked out of the Houfu, then he should also look for her! Or, what does he want to do with Zhou Shumei?

Lu Haiyang!

A face popped out of Xiao Xiwei's mind.

Is this thread that he has been sitting on for so long now finally going to be used?

"Mama, grandfather and father must be careful in their diet these days, don't let people get into trouble." Xiao Xi looked at Mama Liu coldly and said.

Mama Liu was stunned at first, then understood, and she nodded hurriedly, "Yes, the slave knows." ”

Xiao Xi turned his head slightly and looked at Ziyan again, "You go and let people secretly stare at Zhou Shumei and Qian Xiao's every move." ”

"Yes." Ziyan answered, turned around and walked out quickly.

Qian Xiao spent so much effort to hold Zhou Shumei's handle, and he must have come to the Zhongyong Waiting Mansion. When his grandfather was named a loyal and brave candidate, his father was preparing to take the triennial exam, and he was afraid that his son Xiao Yan would not want to make progress because of his father's title, so his grandfather did not have a son. And after his father learned from high school, he became the position of the squire of the military department step by step, and the position of the son of the world has not been established, and now in this situation, there is a chance that the son of the world will give it to his brother. Zhou Shumei is definitely not willing to let the position of the son of the world fall into the hands of her brother, coupled with Qian Xiao's coercion, there is a chance that she will cooperate with Qian Xiao.
