Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 116
The saint was silent for a while: "She is in your house, after all, it's hard for Xiao's family to have no resentment in her heart."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan raised her eyes to look at the sage, with unnamed sadness shining in her eyes: "Yan'er has two wishes, and I ask the sage to fulfill them. Xiao Yan is not filial to her parents, and she has no face to be a descendant of the Xiao family. I am asking myself here today. If you leave the house, you will have nothing to do with the Xiao family in the future."

The saint agreed, just
"If it weren't for the daughter of the Xiao family, as a commoner, you, the side concubine, might not be able to convince the public."

"This is Yan'er's second wish. I also ask the sage to give me a letter of divorce. Yan'er doesn't want to spend the rest of her life in the palace. This is just torture for me and the princess."

The saint obviously didn't expect her to make such a choice, and his eyes sank: "Do you know what it means to be abandoned by the royal family? There is no man in this world who dares to marry you as his wife."

"Yan'er knows she's guilty, and she begs the saint to help." She kowtowed loudly three times.

King Zheng's expression was uneasy, he didn't understand how he couldn't catch her eyes, although he was the one who plotted against her at the beginning, but he didn't treat her well enough despite the Xiao family's previous suspicions several times?

Concubine Zheng was overjoyed when she heard this. She often regarded Xiao Yan as a threat. The prince did not punish Brother Cong, and she felt very uncomfortable all the time.

Although now I know that Xiao Yan did not do it at that time, but she must be reluctant to share power with another woman in the palace. It would be great if Xiao Yan could leave the palace.

Concubine Zheng cautiously held a sliver of hope, and heard the sage muttering: "Yes, where do you want to settle down in the future, I will have someone prepare a household registration for you. From then on, you will have nothing to do with the Xiao family. What do you want to say?"

Xiao Yan's eyes were delighted, and she knelt down to thank Shengen.

King Zheng silently stared at Xiao Yan who was thanking Xie En, and the sage naturally noticed it too. He comforted the eldest son: "I will never wrong you. If there is any girl who is fancy, as long as the family background is suitable, just tell me, and then I will give you a hand. I will accept you as a side concubine."

King Zheng had no choice but to agree, feeling indescribably cold in his heart.

Saints are always like this, after ignoring him, they make up for it innocuously.

Concubine Xiao Shu refused to die and wanted to go out to see the Fifth Prince.

The palace people had nothing to do with her, so they reported to the saint and the queen.

The saint snorted coldly: "Don't worry about her, and don't let her see anyone."

When she knew that she was no longer the Concubine Xiao Shu she used to be, she wouldn't make unnecessary struggles.

In this campaign, Xiang Shiqun led the Habayashi Army to resist the rebels to the death, and also withstood the pressure of Shangguan Ge to rebel against the enemy. When the saint smiled and asked him what reward he wanted, the young man scratched his head and said embarrassedly: " I want to ask the sage to find a wife for me, but my family always says that I have not married in my twenties, and the big girls in the capital don't even look down on us at our age."

The saint laughed loudly: "What's so difficult about this, do you have someone you like?"

Xiang Shiqun secretly glanced at the quiet Wu Lingyu beside him, remembering that day when she rescued him from the Shangguan leather knife like a magic soldier, the imposing nine-foot man couldn't help but blush.

The sage's heart was like a mirror, and he said in a teasing tone: "I don't want to force others to make things difficult, why don't you ask the other party's opinion first."

"This..." Xiang Shiqun scratched his head, unwilling to miss this opportunity, gritted his teeth, and asked with his eyes closed, "General Xiao Wu, you, would you like it?"

"Me?" Wu Lingyu widened her eyes and became flustered.

"I don't want to get married yet, Mr. Xiang, you can find someone else." She quickly refused, took her reward and fled the scene.

The sage didn't blame him either, after this time, he was much more tolerant towards the meritorious ministers.

"It seems that I have to continue to be talked about by the family. You begged in front of me, and you didn't ask the girl's meaning in advance?"

Seeing Xiang Shiqun's frustrated look, the sage couldn't help laughing.

"Ugh"

The two lost souls looked at the sky and sighed at the same time.

After all, King Yan was blocked outside the city by Lu Xiaowen, who had been waiting in the village for a long time. The exhausted rebel army faced the soldiers of the Xishan camp, and the outcome was not too different.

The sage had already issued an order that no one should be killed, and there is no need to keep alive.

The queen mother was sad and begged the sage to save King Yan's life, and she would be put under house arrest like the fifth prince for the rest of her life.

The sage sighed, took out the account books of Mingyue Tower, and Zhu's mother's confession, and spread them out in front of the queen mother one by one, counting how many officials he had bought over the years, and how many officials he had killed who were not used by him.

In addition, in order to build Yanwang Mansion, Yanzhou invaded the good land of the people, forcing many people to be homeless.

The last is the crime of the rebels killing in the village this time.

If King Yan is not dead, how can he convince the public?
The queen mother wept silently while flipping through the pages, and finally acquiesced in the saint's decision, no longer thinking that she had this son.

Wu Lingyu hid at He Shaoguang's place, and her ears became clean.

For several days in a row, she walked out of the house refreshed early in the morning, and saw Xiang Shiqun waiting at the door, buying her breakfast and going to practice martial arts with her.

She was overwhelmed, remembering how he fled to the Lu residence yesterday in such a reckless and flustered manner in front of the saint.

"Ah, you didn't sleep well last night? You're turning blue now."

He Shaoguang brought in two bowls of candied bean curd and handed her a bowl.

"Don't talk about it, I'm going to be annoyed to death." Wu Lingyu scratched her head annoyedly, "Don't say anything. When people see you, they will do things for you. You can't drive them away even if you want to."

"What do you think of him? Speaking of which, isn't your father also looking after your marriage?"

He Shaoguang squinted his eyes to enjoy the quiet moment in the afternoon, scooping up the bean curd in the bowl one by one.

"I am asked not to lead soldiers to fight after marriage, but to be a housewife in the backyard. Oh, this marriage is meaningless, I won't marry."

"Then think about it, this group doesn't mind your status, why don't you try to get in touch with him? Anyway, they are all men with two legs, Mr. Xiang is handsome, not worse than others."

If Mr. Xiang with two legs heard He Shaoguang's words, he might be so moved that he would cry.

"I always feel that I can't deal with acquaintances." Wu Lingyu couldn't help it.

"Hey, you've only met a few times, and you're mature? It's really a strong girl who is afraid of being entangled." He Shaoguang laughed at her, "According to Lord Xiang's offensive, you will be subdued by him in just a few days."

Wu Lingyu became angry from embarrassment, so she simply shut up and stopped talking to her.

He Shaoguang also turned his head to look out of the window, admiring the spring willows hanging down the dike in April.On the roadside and on the shore, unknown wild flowers bloomed all over the streets and alleys of the capital.

It has been ten days since Lu Xiaowen left the mansion, and the news of our victory just came yesterday.

She was so bored that she lay down on the desk and wrote a letter from home, rambling on and on, all about her parents' gossip.

It's just different from the past, and a sentence is added at the end: the flowers on Moshang bloom, and you can return slowly.
