Chapter 15 Self-inflicted
Han Jiang looked at the lime and beckoned. "Lime, come here. My aunt can't protect you anymore, and when you grow up, you have to take good care of yourself, you know? Han Jiang said as he stroked Lime's hair.
"I know, auntie, I don't want you to have anything to do, woo." Lime cried so much that her throat was clogged.
"Silly boy!" Han Jiang patted her on the back and turned his gaze to Xiao Xuan: "Xiao Xuan, I have done a lot of things wrong, but it is too late to say anything now." Lime grew up in the palace, and I know you won't embarrass her. If you can spare Ziwen, I'll let you take your breath, how about it? ”
Xiao Xuan's eyebrows jumped, and before she could reminisce about the meaning of her words, she saw Han Jiang push the lime away, pluck the hairpin from her head, and without a trace of hesitation, stabbed the hairpin as sharp as a knife straight into her throat! Instantly blood splattered!
"Auntie!" Lime was so frightened that she let out a long scream, trying to pluck the hairpin, but she didn't dare to move, but she trembled.
"Han Jiang! Why are you so troubled! I promise you that I will intercede for Han Ziwen. Xiao Sui hated her viciousness, and sighed at her fierceness.
"Then I'll thank you for the Han family." A sneer hung on the corner of Han Jiang's bloody mouth, and then he closed his eyes.
The case was closed, the thief Heifeng was decided, and the governor Han Ziwen disregarded the law of the country, disregarded people's lives, and was dismissed and investigated. Zhu Guangyuan, the prefect of Qingzhou, who framed the good people, was guilty of absconding, and the government has issued a document to arrest him.
Xiao Xuan, Li Chengye, Jiang Xinyue and his entourage returned to Qingzhou Mansion. Xiao Sui thanked Li Qianwen in person, Li Qianwen was so ill that he couldn't speak, and he just cried when he looked at their father and son.
Li Chengye endured the grief in his heart and accompanied his adoptive father to the end of his last days. Before Li Qianwen died, he instructed him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, Li Chengye knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Xuan, and recognized his biological father. From the praying generation, he changed his name to Xiao Qiye.
After Li Qianwen passed away, Xiao Qiye wore linen and filial piety, kept the spirit for three days, and buried his adoptive father to fulfill his filial piety.
"Ye'er, your adoptive father has passed away, so come back to Beijing with me." Xiao Sui looked at his silent son and said.
“..... Father, let me stay a few more days. ”
"Ye'er, I have reported your life history to the imperial court, Your Majesty's holy grace, I want to canonize you as the prince of Nanqing, and the Ministry of Rites is making relevant preparations. So, come back with me. ”
"Father, I have a question for you." Li Chengye hesitated.
"Do you want to say that if I have other sons, will they come to save you and take you back to the palace?"
"Will it?"
"Of course it will, it doesn't matter how much, just because you are my bloodline."
"What kind of person was my mother?" Li Chengye couldn't help but be curious.
"Her name is Yun Niang, she has a blue heart, she has a soft temperament, and your eyes look very similar to her." Xiao Xuan's voice was full of tenderness.
"Your maternal grandfather, who was also an official in the court, was confiscated because he was involved in an old case, and your mother was enslaved in the palace at that time, and I fell in love with her at first sight. At that time, I had already married Han Jiang, and Yun Niang was a concubine, but she never complained, I couldn't stand her, if I couldn't protect you this time, what face would I have to see her? A look of pain appeared on Xiao Xuan's face.
"Your status as a lifter has been restored, can you have confidence in next spring?"
"I will live up to my father's expectations. Can I ask my father for one thing? Xiao Qiye said in a low voice.
"Jiang Xinyue?"
"Not bad. Father said that day that Xinyue was the benefactor of the palace, you were wrong, she was just to save her husband. In order to save me, she left her mother and younger brother, left the Jiang family's family business, and put all her ..... If I can't marry her, then I shouldn't be the prince of the palace. ”
Xiao Yu let out a long sigh. He patted his son on the shoulder.
