Chapter 322: The Xue Family
Xue Nuo saw that his imperial aunt and grandmother had cleaned up the king of the county, and forced Emperor Tianqing to give a promise, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when Shen was in front of him.
The imperial aunt and grandmother are now self-cultivation, but is it possible that these people are really her cats?
The eldest princess saw that Emperor Tianqing had "compromised and sought perfection" to such a point, and she also knew how to accept it when she saw it, so she softened her face and said: "This palace knows that Your Majesty is reasonable, but there must be an explanation for this matter to such a point today, this palace has a clear conscience, and I don't believe that the prince and the Shen family will risk the world's condemnation to contain the traitors." ”
"Since this Sun Xue family is here, Mrs. Pingyuan Bo and Xue Yu are also there, Your Majesty just asked in front of all the old ministers, and it saves you from going back and someone using this as a raft to cause trouble."
Emperor Tianqing naturally had this intention.
Today's incident made him tired, whether it was the Chen family's post, or the weakness of the hearts of the two Pingyuan uncles later, as well as the various targets of the king of the county, it reminded him of the people who sent poison to the Shen family before.
Shen Zhongkang has just taken charge of the cabinet, and there are many people in the court who want to attack him, if Xue Yu's sister and brother are "confirmed" to be really related to Xue Chen, the Shen family and the crown prince will be implicated, Emperor Tianqing is not unaware of the relationship between Pingyuan Bo and the four princes, and such a thoughtful "confession" is obviously not a temporary intention.
Emperor Tianqing's heart was already biased towards Xue Yu and the others.
"You two get up first."
Emperor Tianqing called Xue Yu and the others to get up, and asked them to invite the imperial doctor to come over.
After the attendants left, Emperor Tianqing spoke: "What's going on with this Sun Xue clan?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this person was found by the minister."
Xiao Chi told him how he sent someone to Jiangnan to find out Xue Yan's identity, how he found Sun Xue's family, and how he missed the person that the Shen family was searching for, and then went to Fengyang to invite people into the capital in order to find Xue Yu's forgiveness.
After finishing speaking, he said: "The minister has been out of Beijing at the end of last month, and he only came back a few days ago, and the four guards of the city gate and the Qi people of Qu'an can testify, and Sun Xue's family has been settled in the minister's mansion after returning to Beijing with the minister, and the people in the mansion can also be asked about this matter." ”
"The minister knew that the Shen family would definitely congratulate Yuanfu on his birthday, and he originally planned to go to the Chen family today and ask Shen Cifu to help him say peace and let Ah Yu agree to meet me, but who knew that the Chen family actually invited Ah Yu and them, and made this kind of thing, if it weren't for the fact that the minister had brought Sun Xue's family back to the capital earlier, I was afraid that Ah Yu would not be able to say it even if they had ten mouths."
Hearing this, Emperor Tianqing looked at the woman who was kneeling.
Sun Xue's face trembled slightly: "The woman's name is Xue Siyu, she was abducted and sold as a child daughter-in-law when she was young, and the family treated the women very harshly, beating and scolding them at every turn. ”
"My lord had just lost his wife at the time, and he saw that I was pitiful, and he also wanted to pray for his deceased wife, so he bought back the deed of identity for me and brought me back to the mansion, and I stayed in the mansion for nine years before marrying the lord as a continuation."
Sun Xue was a little frightened at the adults in this hall, and he didn't dare to look directly at the holy face of Emperor Tianqing, so he only whispered intermittently,
"The woman was too young when she was abducted, and she didn't remember the past very clearly, only a jade plate engraved with her name on her body, and vaguely remembered that her family lived near Lingjiang, and there was also a brother named Xue Siyuan who was much older than me."
Emperor Tianqing squinted slightly: "Since you remember, why didn't you go to find your relatives earlier?" ”
"The woman is looking for it!"
Sun Xue said urgently, "My lord has already sent someone to find it for me, but Jiangnan is so big, how easy it is to find someone, although the Sun family is rich, it is not a powerful person, and then something happened in the family, my lord is sick, and I can only rest my mind while taking care of my lord, and I have to take care of the Sun family's business." ”
She seemed to be afraid of being misunderstood, and she seemed to be in a hurry, but her voice did not tremble when she spoke, but was anxious and fast.
"After my lord died of illness, I took care of the Sun family, and then took the jade plate along the Lingjiang River to find people, all the way from Yangzhou to Yanling, but I didn't find my brother's whereabouts, and then I had to return to Fengyang."
"It wasn't until some time ago that this adult suddenly found me and told me that he knew where my relatives were, and I followed this adult into the capital."
As Sun Xue spoke, he reached out and took out the red rope tied around his neck, and saw him.
Emperor Tianqing lowered his eyes and glanced at it, and saw that the jade plate was half of the crescent moon shape, the edges were polished to a smooth edge, and the color was not the best.
Xiao Chi spoke on the side: "When the minister scooped up Ah Yu from the water that day, he saw that she also had a jade plate with a similar face on her body, which was engraved with Xue Siyuan's name, and the minister also heard that someone was looking for Xue Siyuan with a jade plate, so he found Sun Xue's family." ”
After speaking, he looked at Xue Yu,
"Auntie, where's your jade plate?"
Before Xue Yu could speak, Xue Nuo said, "Here I am." ”
She took the purse hanging from her waist and poured out a crescent jade plaque from it.
"I almost had an accident in the hunting ground that day, and after my sister returned to Beijing, she gave me the jade plate and asked me to carry it with me, saying that Daddy could bless us in heaven."
Even if Xiao Chi knew that Xue Nuo was prepared, he was completely relieved the moment he saw the jade plate, and he couldn't see the change in his face with his beard, so he just took it and handed it over to Emperor Tianqing.
Emperor Tianqing took the two jade plates and compared them for a moment, and then put them together, and saw that the two jade plates fit together without any gaps.
Sun Xue hurriedly turned his head: "You are the children of the eldest brother!" ”
Xue Wei's eyes were slightly red: "Little aunt." ”
"Hey, good, good!"
Sun Xue's red eyes instantly shed tears, while Ping Yuanbo and Xue Xiang next to him turned pale.
Xue Xiang saw Emperor Tianqing looking towards this side with calm eyes, and remembered the words taught to her by Uncle Pingyuan, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I really don't know this, I just saw this Xue Yu and thought I saw Xue Linglong, they look too similar, and between her eyebrows and eyes are also very similar to Xue Qing back then, I am afraid that Xue Chen and they will return to the capital to deceive Your Majesty." ”
Uncle Ping Yuan also said: "Your Majesty, my wife is loyal to the king, she grew up with Xue Linglong, and she has too deep a memory of her appearance, and suddenly saw similar people and lost her sense of proportion, and asked Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”
Shen Zhongkang and Shen Ke wanted to push the matter over when they saw that these two people were understatement, and they didn't forget to dig a pit for Xue Yu between their words, just that similarity was enough to make Emperor Tianqing suspicious if he thought of this matter in the future.
Shen Zhongkang really wanted to speak, but he heard An Guo speak openly.
"Your Majesty, if there is such a misunderstanding because of their similar appearances, it is no wonder that Pingyuan Uncle is them."
The eldest princess turned her head sharply and glared at An Guogong.
An Guogong said: "Ying Yuan conspired against him, Xue Chen fled, and it is not strange for Mrs. Pingyuan to suddenly see a person similar to a traitor who lost his sense of proportion, and besides, Ping Yuanbo and his wife are loyal to the king, and it is good to misunderstand the explanation." ”
Ping Yuanbo's face was slightly relieved when he saw him say help, and he was about to glance at An Guogong gratefully, but he froze in place.
"It's just that the Chen family invited the Xue family sisters and brothers to come over, Xue Nuo was attacked inexplicably, Mrs. Pingyuan suddenly recognized Xue Linglong at this time, and insisted that she was an old friend, Mrs. Pingyuanbo, did you really admit Miss Xue Yu in the Chen family?"
The eldest princess snorted angrily.
Emperor Tianqing's eyes sank.
Xue Xiang's lips twitched and he wanted to speak, but at this time, someone outside entered and said to Emperor Tianqing: "Your Majesty, the little prince of King Kang's mansion, and the lord of Linyang ask to see you." ”
"Let them in."
When Bai Jinyuan and Zhao Sufu came in, everyone found that they were carrying two people behind them.
When Uncle Ping Yuan saw the two of them, his face shook instantly, and Xue Xiang was also bloody.
"Uncle Huang."
"Your Majesty."
After Zhao and Zhao saluted, Emperor Tianqing frowned: "Who are you bringing here?" ”
The two knelt down and said, "Xue Xun/Xue Jiao knock to see Your Majesty." ”
"The Xue family?" Emperor Tianqing frowned.
Zhao Susu strode to the eldest princess in a red dress: "Uncle Huang, you should already know about the Chen family, right?" ”
"When I was in the Chen family before, Xue Xiang insisted that Sister Xue Yan was Xue Linglong, and said that she grew up with Xue Linglong, saying that Sister Xue Yan and Xue Linglong looked the same, I was really curious about how there could be such similar people in this world, and I also wondered if Sister Xue Xue was Xue Linglong, so Bai Jinyuan and I went to the Xue family on a special trip and invited the head of the Xue family and Xue Jiao to come over."
Bai Jinyuan still looked like a hanger, and looked at Pingyuan and Uncle Ping with a smile: "You two shouldn't know them, right?" ”
"Xue Xun is the head of the Xue family, Xue Chen's own brother, Xue Jiao was in the house before she got married, and she is also the closest sister who lived in the same room with Xue Linglong for several months and grew up together.
When he tilted his head and smiled, his eyes seemed to have a knife hidden,
"Mrs. Pingyuanbo, you are not the only one in this Xue family."
