Xiaoyaohou looked at Meng Xiaolan in disbelief.

This ruined the image of gentleness and virtuousness in his memory, and made him feel strange in an instant. But he explained to himself that it was because the child was sick and she was anxious to be a mother, and he didn't care why Meng Xiaolan suddenly changed her personality, and continued to explain and guarantee to her:

"Xiaolan, the emperor has promised us to help us find justice, he is a fair and just person, I believe he will definitely seek justice for our Ran'er."

Meng Xiaolan looked at him with teary eyes, and her voice was choked: "Master Hou, he is too uncomfortable, when you went to the morning court today, he had been crying at home for a long time, and he was tired and fell asleep before you came back." Master Hou, Zhao Mocheng is a dangerous person, he can't stay! ”

Hou Ye didn't react to what Meng Xiaolan said, so he just raised his hand and rubbed her head, comforting, "Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for our Ran'er!" I must make that Zhao Mocheng pay! Let him also have a good taste, the pain of cutting off an arm and both legs and abolishing cultivation! ”

"Master Hou......" Meng Xiaolan listened to it, and threw herself into Xiaoyaohou's arms and cried.

……

Zhao Mocheng did not use a wheelchair, and dragged his legs back home slowly. Yun Xiaoshuang had already stood at the door and waited anxiously, and when she saw Zhao Mocheng coming back, she hurriedly ran forward to help him, and asked with concern: "Xianggong, how are you?" I've been standing in the court for so long today, are you uncomfortable? Let's go back first, sit for a while, will you go to the courtyard at the same time as before? ”

Tongyuan is the place where Zhao Mocheng works, responsible for collecting, sorting and accommodating news from all directions, screening and reporting to various officials, and finally selecting the most useful news to report to the emperor. And Zhao Mocheng is the head of the six products of this general court, responsible for sorting out and summarizing the collected information, and he is an inconspicuous petty official, so he can only be used to scare petty officials like County Cheng.

At the beginning, Zhao Mocheng deliberately bought a relatively close house, so even if his legs were inconvenient, he would not be late. Moreover, this position is sitting most of the time, which is a very suitable position for Zhao Mocheng. But in Yun Xiaoshuang's impression, this should be the longest time Zhao Mocheng has used his legs, knowing that there is no problem, but she is still worried that she will use her legs excessively when she is working.

Although she said that every time she helped Zhao Mocheng with acupuncture, she would help him recover by the way, but everything must always pay attention to a step-by-step process, even if this leg is good, you have to take it slowly.

Zhao Mocheng looked at the woman in front of him who was full of him, the woman who was chattering about her physical condition, a hard place in his heart suddenly softened, he suddenly stretched out his long arm and hugged this woman into his arms, hugging her hard to prevent her from escaping.

Yun Xiaoshuang was startled, struggled twice, and when she felt that Zhao Mocheng's mood was not quite right, and she seemed to be afraid that she would struggle out, she quieted down, and her little head rubbed against his broad chest. Sure enough, the arms that wrapped around her shoulders and waist loosened a little.

Yun Xiaoshuang raised her head, looked at him with a pair of bright and moist eyes, and asked, "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Did you encounter anything bad in the court? ”

Zhao Mocheng shook his head, rested his chin on her head, and said softly: "Xiaoshuang, you believe me, I will not leave you, no matter what happens, I will not abandon you, and I will not let people hurt you." ”

Yun Xiaoshuang was a little dizzy by this sudden affectionate confession. She patted Zhao Mocheng on the back and comforted, "I believe in you." ”

I don't know where this sentence pierced Zhao Mocheng's heart, his arms around Yun Xiaoshuang tightened even tighter, but there was a sad emotion on his body. Yun Xiaoshuang blinked, tilted her head slightly and kissed his neck, and said, "It's time to eat, if you don't eat again, you won't be able to go to the courtyard for a while." ”

"Okay." Zhao Mocheng finally let go of the woman in his arms, picked up her face and kissed her moist lips, took her hand and walked back.

Two days later, the Marquis of Xiaoyao's mansion.

Chen Ran was still the same, lying on the bed staring at the ceiling motionless, silent. When Xiaoyao Hou came over, Dr. Liu was not there, so he sat on the edge of the bed and watched quietly, and after a long time, he sighed and left.

It's really not that he is unwilling to comfort and accompany his son, but that Chenran's appearance makes him unable to accept it. Every time he saw Chen Ran like this, he was suffocated with pain, but he, a father, had no way to avenge his child.

He didn't want to slash Zhao Mocheng, but he was a good person, he would not kill people against the rules of the state, he had to believe that the country could give him a satisfactory answer.

He had reported this matter to the emperor many times, but the emperor did not give him an accurate answer. Until just now, the emperor asked the eunuch to pass a message to him: If you don't want people to know unless you don't do it, there will be no next time. Xiaoyaohou suddenly sobered up.

The country is just, and his name is Tianshuo. He is not from the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, he wants to be fair, not his Xiaoyao Hou Mansion family.

He should have known that his son had indeed done the assassination when he brought it back, otherwise why would he be in that place in the middle of the night? Although Liu Maochun is a coward, he is a person who can't lie, and that's why the emperor will allow this waste to stay in the capital, and it will not be removed or cleaned up for such a long time.

The emperor just didn't reply instead of telling this matter to make it clear, he was already giving him face, and if this matter continued to be investigated, he would be embarrassed.

If his guess was correct, Zhao Mocheng would definitely be demoted in the next two days, and maybe he would be driven out of the capital.

Xiaoyao Hou felt that the possibility of the future was very high, because Zhao Mocheng was already a six-rank petty official, and no matter how low he was, he would not have his position, even if he cherished his talents, he could only be transferred to other places. The best result is to suspend the inspection, and generally those who encounter this kind of inspection have no possibility of turning over.

Especially from this kind of imperial examination, the literati are seriously angry, and there is a sense of energy in his heart, even if he rises up in the future, he will cause a lot of contradictions because of this matter.

Obviously, he underestimated the emperor's love for Zhao Mocheng.

Even if Zhao Mocheng hid part of the truth from him, he still stayed in the capital leisurely, but he dispelled the idea of moving him from the sixth grade to the fifth grade. Xiaoyao Hou listened to the emperor's charges on Zhao Mocheng's head in the court, and said the painless punishment in righteous words, and the whole person was stunned.

He looked at the emperor in shock, trying to tell the emperor his confusion and dissatisfaction with the verdict, but unfortunately, the emperor directly glanced at him, ignored the feelings he conveyed, and did his own ruling.

This is not the emperor's usual style.

The clever Xiaoyao Hou immediately guessed that some kind of deal had been reached between Zhao Mocheng and the emperor, or that Zhao Mocheng had said something that confused the emperor's heart. Compared with the former, Xiaoyao Hou feels that the latter is more convincing.

After all, he had never seen a courtier who was bold enough to propose a deal and negotiate with the emperor, and he was afraid that such a person would be cut off by the emperor before he could say the first word.

He didn't know how to deal with his wife and children who were waiting at home and expecting him to be the master of their affairs, and he didn't dare to imagine how his wife and children were lost. Especially the way his son stared blankly at the ceiling, and he was afraid to see it.

Chen Ran has lost hope in this world, if he hears this news again, I'm afraid he will be so sad that he will seek death......

The pace of the Marquis of Xiaoyao is very slow, but the distance between the palace and the Marquis of Xiaoyao will not change in any way. He walked slowly, but he lengthened the time, and he still got where he should be.

Xiaoyao Hou raised his head, looked at the vigorous and powerful word "Xiaoyao" on the door plaque, and sarcastically hooked the corners of his mouth. He stood at the doorway for a moment, gathering his emotions before stepping in.

He first went to Chenran's bedroom, looked at his son in the palm of his hand, and said a few words of comfort to him. After entering the door, he found that Dr. Liu and his wife Meng Xiaolan were here, and as soon as Xiaoyao Hou raised his legs and was about to step in, he heard his wife's cold voice say, "Go out." ”

"Huh?" Xiaoyao Hou was stunned, he thought he was having auditory hallucinations, so he still dropped his foot.

But at the moment of falling, I heard a almost crazy yell from Meng Xiaolan: "Didn't you hear me when I let you out!" ”

"Xiao, Xiaolan?" Xiaoyao Hou was a little frightened.

He remembered that his wife was always gentle and understanding, no matter what happened, she would solve it with him softly, even if the sky fell, they would hold hands and walk together. But why did she suddenly become so irritable and ...... Madness?

It seems that the blow of this incident is not ordinarily big for her.

Xiaoyaohou wanted to walk over and hug her, wanting to tell her that he would always be there, that he would find a way to solve it in a formal way, and that he would make Zhao Mocheng pay the price.

But he didn't have time to say these words.

Meng Xiaolan's gaze was very cold, frozen into the bone marrow. The eyes he had always liked looked at him directly, as if they were going to lock his life. At this time, the woman he loved deeply was approaching her step by step, and there was no half-point of love in her bloodshot eyes.

The Marquis slowly retreated as he approached.

He felt that this woman had suddenly become so strange and terrifying.

He didn't like to be stared at like this, and he didn't think he would be afraid of anything and any gaze, but at this point he was afraid. Because the one standing in front of her is the person she loves the most.

He was starting to get overwhelmed.

This look fell into Meng Xiaolan's eyes, and she looked cowardly and incompetent. The corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, extremely sarcastic, her voice was cold and ruthless, and she said, "Chen Haowei, you are really a waste." ”
