Chapter 328: I Don't Owe You
Empress Dowager Chen's feet were weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Xie Wan hurriedly stepped forward and helped her.
Empress Dowager Chen looked at Xie Wan with a white face and trembling lips: "You...... Do you hear anything? ”
The clock hasn't stopped ringing.
While......
While......
Xie Wan looked at her, her pink lips moved slightly but she didn't make a sound.
The last glimmer of light in Empress Dowager Chen's eyes was also extinguished, and even with Xie Wan's support, she still sat down.
The grandmother on the side was already frightened, and Xie Wan had to call out to the picturesque and asked her to help the Empress Dowager Chen to the chair.
Forty-seven bells rang for a long time.
Empress Dowager Chen sat on the chair until the bell stopped and couldn't come back to her senses, Xie Wan glanced at her, and estimated that she would be scolded later, so she simply arranged everything in the house first.
Her life was picturesque, and she called Steward Fang, Bai He, Wang Pu and Xie Lin respectively.
Yu Yao and Xie Qing have been absent for the past few days, Xie Lin has accompanied Xie Lan, and it just so happens that the two of them are more than a year apart, and Lan Lan is a well-behaved person who doesn't talk much, and the two get along quite well.
Naturally, the white cranes also heard the bell and were anxious to find her, so not long after the poetry and picturesque went out, everyone arrived.
Xie Wan looked at Bai He and said, "How many palace guards are there?" ”
Bai He immediately said: "There are one hundred and eighty first-class guards, four hundred second-class guards, and eight hundred and sixty third-class guards. ”
Xie Wan knew in her heart that the situation in the Hou Mansion was well known, and she muttered for a while and said, "White Crane! ”
"The subordinates are here!"
"You lead a thousand people to the palace with me, and the rest guard the prince's mansion."
"Yes!"
"Steward Fang!"
"The minions are here."
"Gather all the servants of the Hou Mansion, divide them into four groups, and take turns patrolling around the Hou Mansion day and night!"
"Yes!"
"Wang Pu!"
"The minions are here."
"You are more active, so you will protect the little marquis and them closely."
Wang Pu was stunned when he heard this, he never thought that Xie Wan would trust him to such an extent, he didn't know martial arts, and he didn't have a majestic strategy, in the mansion, he was not even as capable as the housekeeper, and she actually put Xie Lin's life in his hands.
Wang Pu choked in his throat and bowed down: "The slave obeys!" ”
Xie Wan turned her eyes to look at Xie Lan: "Lan Lan, your mother and your brother will come back today, you can choose to be with your mother, you can also choose to believe in Lin'er, and you are generally with him these days, but don't listen to your mother's words and deceive Xie Lin, do you know?" ”
Xie Lin is smart and has Wang Pu by his side, ordinary people and methods can't deceive him at all, and the only thing that is easy to make people defenseless is Xie Lan, who is only five years old.
No matter who you are, you are the weakest in your child's defense.
Xie Wan's words were not only for Xie Lan, but also for Xie Lin and Wang Pu.
Xie Lan nodded ignorantly, there are so many people, and everyone looks like a great enemy, even though she is young, she can notice the difference.
After arranging all this, Xie Wanlang said: "From now on, the Hou Mansion will be under martial law, and if it is not necessary, all courtyards are not allowed to move around at will, and they should be purchased, and Steward Fang will be personally responsible." ”
"Yes!"
Empress Dowager Chen sat on the stool, looking at Xie Wan outside the house, arranging affairs one by one, and inexplicably saw a little bit of Li Yu's shadow from her.
The pain and hatred in her heart, she was in pain, and her nails were pinched into her palms, which made her press down.
Xie Wan arranged everything, and then turned around and went back to the house.
She came to the Empress Dowager Chen, looked at her hateful eyes, and was about to speak, but the Empress Dowager Chen stood up abruptly and slapped her in the face.
Syllable!
The sound of slapping resounded throughout the room.
Poetry and picturesqueness even stopped in front of Xie Wan.
Empress Dowager Chen's hands trembled, glaring at Xie Wan viciously.
Xie Wan licked the blood in her mouth, moved her cheeks, and turned her eyes to look at her: "Queen mother, daughter-in-law has only been beaten by two people in her life, one is my grandmother, and the other is the queen mother. ”
Empress Dowager Chen didn't understand what she meant, so she only said hatefully: "It's light to beat you!" If you hadn't stopped the mourning family, how could it be today's situation, how could Xian'er die, you ......"
"It's better for the queen mother to swallow back what she wants to say."
Xie Wan interrupted her words and said lightly: "In the past, I put up with my grandmother, not because I was afraid of her, but because she had the grace to raise my father after all, but she didn't have it for me, and I didn't owe her, so after that slap to pay off my father's debts, I didn't let her hurt me again." ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?!"
"I just want to tell my mother, I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and my thoughts may be different from most people in this world, I don't have the knowledge that filial piety is greater than the sky, whoever is kind to me, I will repay the kindness, and you are Li Yu's mother, you have the grace to give birth to him, and I don't."
Xie Wan rubbed her cheeks and said, "I please you and want to have a good relationship with you, not because I owe you, just because you are Li Yu's mother, and I love Wu and Wu." It's the first time you've hit me, and hopefully the last. ”
"As for what you want to say, I am a demon concubine, a disaster to the country and the people, if I hadn't stopped it, Your Majesty would not have died, I suggest that you better not say it yet, you save some strength first, and then scold after entering the palace. You pack up, and in half an hour, I'll take you into the palace. ”
After saying this, she turned and went out, and met the English duchess with red and swollen eyes outside the courtyard.
Without waiting for her to speak, Xie Wan said, "Madame can pack up and leave, the Queen Mother is not seen for the time being." ”
The British duchess is now frightened, and she wanted to ask Xie Wan what the situation was, but she didn't expect that she would leave such a sentence and pass by.
The English duchess looked at the reddish half of her face, looked at the busy yard again, and hesitated.
Emperor Wen Zhao had the intention to deal with the Ma family, and he was already on the same page, but now that Emperor Wen Zhao died suddenly, he didn't know what the situation was in the palace.
If the Ma family succeeds, the crown prince will inevitably ascend the throne, but through the revenge of killing his brother, how can King Ning let them get their wish?
If the Ma family fails, the crown prince will inevitably not be able to ascend the throne, so who else can the person who ascend the throne besides King Ning?!
The English duchess hesitated for a moment, but turned and left. Before things are clear, it is better for her not to wade into this troubled water.
Half an hour later, Bai He led a thousand guards to gather in front of the Hou Mansion.
Empress Dowager Chen slowly got into the carriage with the support of her grandmother.
The blows that followed had made her much older, her eyes were already red and swollen, and she was a little trembling when she walked, but her back was straight.
Xie Wanmu escorted her into the carriage, and then got into another carriage.
The white crane rode on his horse and said loudly: "Let's go!" ”
Along the way, the doors and windows of every house were closed, and the streets were particularly deserted, and there were not even a single pedestrian.
Xie Wan sat in the carriage and wrinkled her eyebrows, didn't she say that Emperor Wen Zhao had at least three months to live, why did he suddenly die after only half a month?
Could it be a bluff?
