Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 131 Axiom
Lu Jing could sense that Su Qingwan's tone was a little heavy, so he gently comforted her, "Princess, this is just a discussion of different standpoints, don't be angry. If you are angry, I won't say anything, okay?"

What lingered in Su Qingwan's mind was the tragic scene that night when the Huainan Palace was exterminated. She watched her clansmen die one by one in front of her. She witnessed a tragedy that was a nightmare that kept her awake for many years. No matter how many years had passed, she always remembered the scene when the Jinyiwei broke into the palace and killed people.

Now, the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard said that this is just a difference in stance.

How ridiculous!
Su Qingwan's eyes were red, but she tried her best to restrain her emotions. However, how could she control her emotions? No matter how hard she tried to hide them, some of them would leak out.

"It was the Jinyiwei who broke into the palace and killed people. You are the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, so you should speak for them!"

Lu Jing asked calmly, "How do you know that it was the Jinyiwei who broke into the palace and killed people?"

"The prince of Huainan Palace, you and I were playmates. That year, I was unaware of the change and insisted to my father that I wanted to go play with them. I secretly heard what my father and mother said. No matter how well you cover up, you can't hide your sins. Since the evidence is irrefutable, why don't you hold a public trial? It turned out that the Jinyiwei led people to break into the palace and kill everyone they saw." Su Qingwan was very resentful. If the trial was open, how could her father be guilty? Of course, the emperor also knew that the King of Huainan was innocent, so he didn't even dare to hold a public trial.

Lu Jing comforted her gently, "Princess, if you are upset, let's not talk about this matter, okay?"

"You also think that it was wrong for the King of Huainan not to send the Crown Prince to the capital as a hostage, and that their deaths were due to their stubbornness and self-righteousness. The King of Huainan should have sent the Crown Prince to the capital, imprisoned him there, and sacrificed him to save the Huainan clan. Is this the right thing to do?"

Lu Jing looked at Su Qingwan's slightly red eyes and didn't want to lie to him. "Princess, I dare not say right or wrong. The King of Huainan is a great hero in the eyes of military generals, and he is also a great hero in my heart. I was a military general when I was young, and I grew up listening to his deeds. I have great respect for him. What was right or wrong back then is not something I can comment on alone, nor can everyone comment on right or wrong. Everyone has his own position and concerns. But I know the emperor. The emperor is suspicious and thoughtful, and it is not easy to serve him. But the prince and the eldest princess had an engagement back then, and the emperor never regretted the engagement. As long as the prince of Huainan went to Beijing to marry the eldest princess and settled in the princess's mansion from then on, no matter what happened in Huainan, the emperor would not make a big fuss. No matter how the clan forced him, as long as the eldest princess was alive, the emperor would not touch Huainan. The throne is very important to him, but the relationship between them is also very important in the emperor's heart."

Su Qingwan felt a pain in her heart. How should she tell Lu Jing? In fact, her father had never told him that the emperor wanted her elder brother to go to the capital as a hostage. If her elder brother knew that sacrificing one person could save Huainan, he would definitely go to the capital without hesitation.

But my father has his own concerns. The Huainan lineage must control the military power in order to protect the entire family. My elder brother is the only choice. He is the heir he has brought up by his side, and my father does not dare to take the risk.

This became a dead end, with military power and imperial power in opposition, fear and suspicion of each other, leading to a tragedy. Su Qingwan was still young at the time, and she heard many things from the King of Southwest later.

She felt very sad when she heard Lu Jing say this. It turned out that this was what he thought.

"You are wrong, Lu Jing. It is not that we cannot distinguish right from wrong just because we have different standpoints. Wrong is wrong and right is right. Thousands of lives and innocent souls have been lost in Huainan Palace, and they have not yet been dispersed. This is wrong. No matter what you say, this is the emperor's fault." Su Qingwan has calmed down. "Does the king never make mistakes? Is he a saint? Since he made a mistake, it is necessary to correct it. We will definitely vindicate Huainan Palace. You are right. This matter was promoted by Southwest Palace. The emperor sent you to the posthouse not only to cultivate feelings with me, but also to keep an eye on who the Southwest Palace is interacting with."

Su Qingwan stood up, lifted the curtain and walked out. The cold wind blew away the heat from her body. Snowflakes fell on her shoulders and quickly melted away. Lu Jing also followed her out of the pavilion.

Lu Jing said, "If the Southwest Palace insists on doing this, it will be an enemy of the imperial power. The war has just subsided, and Xilin also wants to negotiate. If we quarrel with the emperor at this time, the situation will be difficult to clean up."

"So what? The Huainan Palace and the Southwest Palace have been cleaning up the mess for the Li family for many years." Su Qingwan smiled faintly, "Justice is in the hearts of the people."
