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

Chapter 132 Dengwengu

Lu Jing stood in the snow and said gently, "Your Majesty and the Princess should stay in the capital for more than a month. Even if you want to overturn the case of the King of Huainan, you have to take your time and not rush it."

If you act too hastily, there will be casualties. This is also the biggest advice that Lu Jing can give as a Jinyiwei.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. No one knows the emperor's temperament better than him.

The Emperor could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, and he was shrewd and cunning. The King of Southwest wanted to overturn the verdict, and the Emperor had known about it for a long time. On the first day they entered the palace, a general got drunk and talked about the King of Huainan. There was absolute silence at the table, and a general on good terms with him hurriedly covered his mouth, and the man soon sobered up.

The emperor could not hide anything they said or did, and the Jinyiwei reported everything to him.

The emperor left the table because he was angry.

It's not that he was sick and weak and couldn't make it until the end of the palace banquet. On such an important day, the King of Southwest and the Xilin delegation were both there. Even if the emperor was sick and weak, he would not let others see any clues. But he was so angry that he had difficulty breathing and had to take medicine.

When Lu Jing was summoned to the Yangxin Palace, the emperor had calmed down and the palace was extremely quiet. The emperor instructed him to keep a close eye on the King of Southwest's every move and not allow anyone in the court to bring up the old case of the King of Huainan.

The emperor wants to eradicate the remnants of the King of Huainan at all costs, so how can he expect the King of Southwest to overturn his case?

Lu Jing has told the eldest princess everything he knows.

Su Qingwan felt a little depressed. This matter was not something that should be rushed. Who knew that something would happen two days later? Someone beat the drum to file a complaint to the emperor, and appealed for justice for the King of Huainan in the wind and snow. She was wearing a single dress, with her long hair slightly tied up and no pearl hairpins. The girl, who was nearly twenty years old, had a pale face and a weak body in the wind and snow, and she cried and appealed for justice for the King of Huainan.

She is the little princess of Prince Huainan - Su Qingwan.

The matter spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. On windy and snowy days in the capital, most people gathered at home and did not want to go out and catch a cold, not to mention that the New Year was approaching and everyone wanted to reunite with their relatives and friends at home. Now, after hearing the news, they all gathered in front of the drum and talked about it. Although twelve years had passed since the tragic case of King Huainan, he was still quite respected in the eyes of the people. When the people heard that it was the little princess who sought justice for her father, they gathered together and the news spread quickly. The Jinyiwei could not stop them even if they wanted to.

Su Qingwan had not heard her own name for many years. After she went to the southwest, because Li Xuejiu was ill for a long time and could not go out, she used the name Li Xuejiu when she was outside. She was also called the eldest princess in the mansion, and Li Xuejiu became the little princess. The father and son of the King of the Southwest also affectionately called her Xiaowu. In fact, before the King of Huainan was executed, no one called her by her full name. At that time, she was still young, and most people called her by her nickname.

Therefore, apart from the members of the Huainan royal family, only very few people know the names of the twins of King Huainan.

When Su Qingwan learned the news, the woman who cried out for injustice had been escorted into the palace by the Jinyiwei. Zhou Jingming sent someone to inform Lu Jing and asked him to return to the palace immediately. The person sent by Zhou Jingming and Qingyun delivered the news almost at the same time, but Qingyun had no time to tell Su Qingwan. Lu Jing looked hurried, looked at Su Qingwan deeply and left.

Qingyun quickly told Su Qingwan the news.

Su Qingwan's expression changed slightly, and she hurried out to look for the King of Southwest, "Where is my father?"

"The prince went out to meet a friend and hasn't come back yet." Qingyun looked anxious.

Su Qingwan also found it difficult to calm down, and even couldn't sit still in the house. She waited for the King of the Southwest at the door of the inn. Before the King of the Southwest returned, Xilin Yongxuan was summoned into the palace.

It was also the Jinyiwei who came to lead the people.

Xilin Yongxuan greeted Su Qingwan with a smile, "Who are you waiting for at the door, Princess? Why don't you go out for fun with Lord Lu today?" "The little princess of Prince Huainan has filed a complaint with the emperor and has been summoned to the palace." Su Qingwan whispered the news to Xilin Yongxuan. There was some distance between the post station and the palace, so he could at least think of a solution.

Xilin Yongxuan's smile faded and his expression became solemn. For the Xilin Kingdom, this was not good news. Back then, the King of Huainan was falsely accused of treason and the crime was treason with the enemy, and the enemy was Xilin.

The Jinyiwei did not dare to stop the Princess of the Southwest, and her voice was very low, so no one else knew it. Xilin Yongxuan was a smart man, and after bowing to her, he followed the Jinyiwei into the palace.

Su Qingwan was waiting for the King of Southwest at the door. The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger. She was wrapped in a thick cloak and paced anxiously in front of the door. Qingyi said, "Princess, will the prince be summoned directly to the palace?"

"My father will come and take me into the palace." Su Qingwan said firmly.

She still didn't know what was going on, why someone would pretend to be the little princess of the King of Huainan and cry out for justice, although it was what she wanted in her heart and what she and the King of Southwest had conspired. But it was too unexpected, and Su Qingwan was caught off guard.

They waited for half an hour and heard the sound of horse hooves, splashing flying snow. The horses stopped hastily in front of the inn, with their hooves raised high and their neighing breaking the silence.

It was the King of the Southwest and his guards.

"Xiaowu, follow your father into the palace." The King of the Southwest looked solemn. He jumped off his horse and threw the whip to the guards who were accompanying him.

"Yes!"

The carriage was ready, and King of the Southwest and Su Qingwan got on it together. There was a small stove in the carriage, burning charcoal, and it was very warm inside. King of the Southwest took off his cloak and shook off the snowflakes covering the cloak, and the snowflakes melted instantly.

Su Qingwan was a little impatient. The King of Southwest knew what she was going to ask and shook his head, "Father doesn't know about this."

"Who did that?"

The little princess of Huainan is alive and well. The number of people who know about this is no more than ten, all of whom are close relatives. In addition to the three maids around Su Qingwan, there are the King of Southwest and the Princess, and their children, because the two families often visit each other. After Su Qingwan was raised in the palace, the relatives of the King of Southwest came during the holidays. Anyone who had never seen her thought she was Xiaojiu. Because Xiaojiu was sick all year round and never left the house, even the relatives rarely saw her. The princess raised her like the apple of her eye and never saw outsiders. Therefore, her identity in Huainan is the eldest princess, and except for these people, she is the eldest princess.

This matter could be a big deal or a small one. If we knew that she was alive and knew her name, would we know where she was? Would we know that she was now in the Southwest Palace?

The King of Southwest and Su Qingwan both knew that it would be useless to escape if others knew everything, so Su Qingwan waited at the door of the inn for the King of Southwest to enter the palace together. They did not think of escaping.

"Is it the eldest princess?" The King of Southwest was very distrustful of the eldest princess. It was the royal family who wanted to kill the lineage of the King of Huainan, and it was also the royal family who saved her.

Whether it is the King of Southwest or the eldest princess.

But the King of Southwest was very distrustful of the eldest princess.

"No!" Su Qingwan rejected it flatly. It was impossible for her to be the eldest princess.

"There are only a few people in the world who know you are still alive and know your name. Who else could it be except her? She was able to conceal it at the beginning because you were far away in the southwest and posed no threat to the royal family. Now that you have come to the capital with the identity of a princess and are being granted marriage to stay in the capital, of course she would be panicked. It must be her!"
