When Li Yuejiao was digesting what had happened, the carriage of the Marquis of Anyang had already left the gate of the imperial city.

The coachman was from the Marquis of Anyang, and he knew that his son was injured, so he walked very slowly, and it took a cup of tea to just cross the Yucheng Bridge outside the imperial city.

Xue Zhen knew that Li Yuejiao was in a bad mood now, so he didn't talk to her, but after crossing the bridge, he instructed the coachman through the curtain:

"Go to Wanfu Street, Renxin Hall."

As soon as the coachman said "yes", he saw a young man in a blue dress and a horsewhip in a young man in a blue uniform and a horsewhip in his hand in the tea house not far away, and trotted all the way to the car, and said with a worried face:

"Is Zhongjing in the car?"

Xue Zhen lifted the curtain and looked at the young man with some surprise: "Brother Ziyan? Why are you here?"

The young general's name is Tao Shu, the word Ziyan, two years older than Xue Zhen, but his identity is very different from Xue Zhen - he is an orphan who grew up in Yitang, and was accepted as a slave of his young son by the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion at the age of eight.

When Emperor Jianlong decided to let Xue Zhen lead the troops, he threw him into the Zhenbei army led by the Marquis of Zhenyuan at that time, so Xue Zhen and Tao Shu met.

The two not only have a friendship with each other, but also because of their different personalities, they have a very personal relationship.

Tao Shu saw at a glance that Xue Zhen was now seriously injured, and then he smelled the blood, if it wasn't for the street, he was afraid that he would have to directly lift Xue Zhen's clothes.

"You're really in Beijing? Really hurt? What the hell is going on?" He asked urgently, his loud voice very incompatible with his young and elegant appearance.

Xue Zhen listened to his question, his face sank in front of his friend, he took a deep breath before he could barely suppress his temper, and asked, "When did my brother know that something happened to me?" Who else knows?"

Tao Shu didn't react yet: "I got the news this morning, when I knew, the three camps in the suburbs of Beijing knew about it, and they said that you went to the prison? The old marquis specially asked Zhan Shizi to take me to the prison to inquire about the news, but the population over there is very strict, if it weren't for Shizi pressing me, I would have beaten someone. And it's not just us, many people from the family are there to inquire."

His Majesty, who just learned the day before yesterday, was seriously ill, and today I heard that Xue Zhen returned to Beijing without an edict and went to prison, and any family standing on the cusp of the storm must be worried.

After he babbled so much, even Li Yuejiao, who was depressed in the car, was withdrawn from the endless depression, her eyes were red and her mouth was closed, she raised her body to look out of the car, and listened carefully to their words.

As soon as she moved, Tao Shu found that there were still people in the car, and he didn't recognize it suddenly, and when it became clear that it was Li Yuejiao, he moved his mouth and called politely: "My brother and sister are also here......

It is said that among the children of the next family, the messy news always spreads quickly, so he has even heard about Xue Zhen bringing back the outer room and the child.

Speaking of Xue Zhen's bringing back Chen Sanniang and the children, the happiest thing is those children of the family, after all, Xue Zhen is "the proud son of the Marquis of Anyang, the youngest son of the heavens, with a gentle temperament, proper behavior, and capable of literature and martial arts", and is the favorite object of the elders of Yujing City to attack and urge their sons.

Thanks to Xue Zhen's good temper, his popularity is good, and he will not be excluded by the second ancestors of the same age.

Therefore, after it was rumored that he actually had an outer room and an outer room, the children of the family all had a feeling of evil anger, and for the first time, they really felt that Xue Zhen was a "good brother"!

But Tao Shu has a good relationship with Xue Zhen, so he knows some details that others don't know - for example, since Xue Zhen married this daughter-in-law, he simply didn't go home.

His good brother doesn't like his daughter-in-law, Tao Shu naturally has no good impression of this younger brother and sister, but everyone is a person who keeps etiquette, and he will not be cold to a court wife, so his attitude is light.

However, Li Yuejiao was so upset that she didn't bother to take care of him, so she only saluted back through the curtain, and then shrank up again, looking like she had nothing to love, just pricking up her ears to listen to them.

Xue Zhen was already laughed at Tao Shu's words, and asked coldly, "Who was the first person to say this?"

Co-authored today's capital has become a colander, and any news can spread to the sky.

Tao Shu realized that Xue Zhen was actually angry, restrained his big grin, and asked seriously, "I don't know, everyone just said that. What's going on?"

Xue Zhen knew that in such changes, especially a person as big as Tao Shu, he would not pay attention to such details, so he thought about it for a while before saying:

"Has King Huai returned to Beijing?"

"Who?" Tao Shu was stunned and said, "I don't know, Zhong Jing, don't be so cloudy, tell me clearly, what happened?"

Xue Zhen thought for a while and advised, "Brother Ziyan do me a favor, go back to the camp first and tell the old marquis, go to meet King Huai, and see who has come into contact with King Huai at this time; I would like to ask you who was the first person to spread the news of my return to Beijing. Don't act in private, don't startle the snake."

Tao Shu thought of a possibility because of his cautious expression, swallowed his saliva, and didn't ask any more, but said, "I understand. You tell my brother the bottom line—"

He raised his chin in the direction of the Imperial City, "Is it safe in the end?"

"Your Majesty is fine." Xue Zhen whispered, "Brother Ziyan is also with the old marquis, so don't bring it out on your face."

Tao Shu let out a long sigh of relief.

In this way, the old marquis has been worried about the bloody rain for a few days, and it should not appear.

"Okay, I know, you can go home."

Tao Shu said, took the horsewhip and turned around and left.

*

When the carriage slowly moved forward again, Xue Zhen's expression in the car was completely gloomy, leaning against the wall of the car, looking at the opposite window, and whispering coldly for a long time:

"This jade capital city has really become a sieve."

Tired as Li Yuejiao, although her mind was heavy, she also felt that the current situation was very strange, but there were so many news that she couldn't tell the truth from the fake, so she could only hold herself tighter, shrink herself to a little smaller, and shrink into the corner of the car.

It was this shrinkage that her waist was slammed by a foreign object.

She touched it, realized what it was, and immediately took it out, as if the thing was poisonous, and threw it back to Xue Zhen on the side.

Xue Zhenchun, who was still in a trance, relied on the intuition of a military general to receive something, and he was stunned for a moment when he caught it.

Later, he recognized that it was his own bag to save Li Yuejiao's life.

Xue Zhen lowered his head, and now his left arm really couldn't move, so he could only use his right hand to open the bag with difficulty.

The talisman slipped down, and there was a blood edict wrapped in oiled paper.

Xue Zhen smiled.

"Didn't you say it was burned?" He suppressed the temper caused by miscellaneous matters, and asked Li Yuejiao with a pleasant face.

Li Yuejiao cowered in the corner and muttered sluggishly, "I'm not stupid...... I didn't want to take it with me, but I couldn't find a place to hide it......

As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, she felt aggrieved and annoyed, and almost cried out again, and her voice was choked.

Seeing her like this, Xue Zhen wanted to sit down a little, but he had exhausted his little strength by arresting people under serious injuries, walking down the steps of the Cheng'an Palace, and being angry at the current undercurrent in Yujing City.

Besides, he himself could smell the bloody gas that couldn't be covered on his body, and he was disgusted, let alone Li Yuejiao?

She was already tired, and he should only send her back to Renxintang, and he shouldn't let her worry about anything else.

It was he who gave up moving, and only asked her:

"I'm afraid of this, why do you want to come back?"

He just asked without words, but Li Yuejiao was very emotionally sensitive now, and when he asked, she immediately looked like a fried cat, suddenly got up and glared at him, and said unhappily:

"Does the prince dislike me for being nosy? Could it be that in the heart of the son of the world, I am a villain who lives by myself and lets others die on my behalf? The son of the world is so good, if he dies by himself, he will be worthy of heaven and earth, and he will live up to the grace of the king, so let me live and be scolded, right?"

Xue Zhen was stunned by her sudden outburst.

Li Yuejiao lost her temper rarely, looking at her angrily, her cheeks bulging

, with dimples deep and shallow.

It's really not like being angry, it's like being coquettish.

Xue Zhen couldn't hold back for a while, laughed out loud, and regretted it as soon as he said it, he was busy pursing his mouth hard, trying to take back the laughter, but it affected the injured ribs, cheeks, corners of the lips and many other places, and his expression became hideous and funny because of the pain.

Li Yuejiao saw that he dared to laugh at himself, and the grievances in his heart turned into anger, and she simply cried, crying with a whimper, while accusing regardless of it:

"You still laugh at me, it's all you, it's all because of your family, our family has the bad luck we have today, it's all because of your family! You blame me for everything, and you don't say anything to me. Hatred is your self-righteousness, marriage is your love affair, bringing back a woman and children is your desire to humiliate me, even to save me, to die by yourself is your own initiative! Xue Zhen, why are you so annoying?"

All the expressions on Xue Zhen's face froze because of Li Yuejiao's accusation, but a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed tangled pain.

If you are right in the prison, then it is indeed as Li Yuejiao said:

The Li family will be involved in incomprehensible conspiracy battles, and it is indeed because of their own family.

Therefore, as Li Yuejiao said, even the hatred he has carried for four years may just be "self-righteousness" that he can't tell.

Because of this, Xue Zhen even admired the people who manipulated behind the scenes.

The people behind the scenes spent four years – perhaps longer – using a lot of fragmented information to set up a big game and involve many people into the game.

It involved the grievances of the two countries, the infighting of the heavenly family, the noble family, and an ordinary small family.

Now that he looked back, he realized that the inconspicuous ordinary small family was the thread that those people weaved their webs.

Everything is related to the Li family, but now he can be sure that the Li family, at least Li Fu and Li Yuejiao's father and daughter, don't know anything.

Because I don't know, I can't defend myself, so I don't understand what happened until I die.

How ridiculous is as terrible as it is?
