Chapter 53 The decree arrives

The woman walked into the teahouse, stopped downstairs for a while, and was led up to the second floor by the waiter.

The teahouse is in the shape of a Chinese character back, half of the private rooms are occupied by Xiao Yuzhuo.

The private room that the women entered happened to be on the opposite side of the corridor, the one they were facing.

Zhuxiang opened the door of the private room a small crack, through which the private room opposite could be seen.

Wang Shi covered her mouth and stared, her eyeballs kept rolling.

In their private room, only the sound of Mei Xiang pouring tea for Xiao Yuzhuo was heard quietly.

The sunlight passes through the tall tree crowns and falls into the window, and the fine dust dances up and down in the sunlight.

The jade bracelet on Xiao Yuzhuo's wrist lightly bumped against the tea bowl, making a jingling sound.

But Aunt Wang only felt that the jingle sounded like it hit her heart.

"Here we come." Zhu Xiang, who was guarding the crack of the door, said suddenly.

Aunt Wang got up suddenly, her movements were so fast that she didn't look like a frail woman who just had a miscarriage.

She came to the door in three steps and took two steps, and looked out through the crack of the door.

I saw two young ladies in bright clothes, one after the other, entered the private room opposite.

The moment Xiaoer opened the door, he could still see the woman in the room hurriedly getting up and welcoming her with a flattering smile.

The opposite door was closed, blocking prying eyes.

Aunt Wang staggered back a step.

"What did you see?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked gently.

Aunt Wang suddenly turned around and stared at Xiao Yuzhuo, "Dare to ask the princess, who are those two young ladies?"

Xiao Yuzhuo raised his eyebrows lightly, "Are you asking me? I thought you would know."

Aunt Wang stared at her, and shook her head slowly after a long while, "The servant girl doesn't know them? Why does my uncle and madam want to see these two young ladies? These two young ladies are brightly dressed and have a good temperament. They must be from a high family Big family... no no, that kind of bearing is rare among high-ranking and big families..."

Aunt Wang lost her mind and muttered endlessly.

Xiao Yuzhuo ate tea quietly, and waited until she finished muttering to herself before slowly opening her mouth, "According to your guess, why did those two people come here?"

Aunt Wang frowned, secretly looking at the princess.

Xiao Yuzhuo sat upright and let her look at her, neither angry nor annoyed, "Now you and I are framed by others, you have also seen that the mantis, the cicada, and the oriole are behind. You don't want to know, what is the oriole at the back?" Who? Let others hold you in their hands as a knife?"

Aunt Wang frowned, as if she wanted to speak, but still hesitated.

Mei Xiang snorted coldly, "They used your unborn child to frame my princess, but you helped the enemy to cover it up, what a good mother!"

Aunt Wang's mood at this time, how could she hear such harsh words, her complexion changed drastically, and she looked at Mei Xiang with hatred.

Mei Xiang rolled her eyes, "Don't stare at me if you have the ability, your enemy is in the private room opposite, if you want revenge, go down and rescue them now?"

Aunt Wang's hands were hanging by her side, clenched into fists, the whitened fingertips made people feel pain in their palms just looking at them.

"At the beginning, my uncle said that Mr. Lang valued his heirs the most, and he valued a man's responsibility as a father the most. If I framed the princess and poisoned Mr. Lang's heir, Mr. Lang would not tolerate it, and he would definitely divorce the princess and go out." Wang The aunt's voice paused, and she took a quick look at Xiao Yuzhuo, "Uncle Madam said... as long as, as long as the princess is divorced, you can help me..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, until she could barely hear her words.

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded slowly, "Auntie wants to ask Mr. Lang to divorce me, is it because she really wants to help you?"

Wang gritted her teeth, with a grim face, "The doctor Chen who prescribed the medicine to me was introduced by my aunt. I treated her so heartily and gave her back the money... She, she... Pooh, I I really fed my heart to the dog!"

Mei Xiang sighed in a low voice.

"That is to say, the little lady who is meeting with my aunt now is the one she really wants to recommend to your husband as his wife." Xiao Yuzhuo stood up slowly while speaking.

"What is the county chief going to do?" Aunt Wang opened her eyes and looked at her.

Xiao Yuzhuo said slowly, "I've seen everything I need to see, I've figured out what I need to think about, shouldn't I leave?"

"I won't go!" Aunt Wang shook her head, "I want to see what they discussed!"

Xiao Yuzhuo smiled lightly, "What can you see here?"

"Is there still a way for the princess to hear them?" Aunt Wang was full of hope.

Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "There is really no way to do this, we can only rely on guesswork."

Seeing that she really wanted to leave, Aunt Wang was not reconciled, "Even if I can't hear it, I still want to see it with my own eyes!"

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Look at it, be alone, and think it over."

She took the maid and left the teahouse calmly.

Sitting in the carriage, she immediately ordered Zhu Xiang, "Let someone keep an eye on them, and see where those two little ladies are coming from."

Zhuxiang took the order and left.

The carriage swayed slightly, Xiao Yuzhuo leaned on the soft and comfortable pillow, closed his eyes and meditated, with a calm expression.

Along the way, the horse's hooves were trampled and the wheels rolled. It was as quiet as if nothing had happened, but she never thought that when she returned home, there would be a big "surprise" waiting for her.

Jing Yannian was sitting in the main room, holding a delicate glass cup in his hand.

Xiao Yuzhuo entered the door, he put down the glazed cup, raised his eyes to look at her, "Where did you go?"

"Where am I going, won't your husband know?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at him sideways.Insinuating that he sent someone to follow her without permission.

Although he was in danger twice, fortunately he was watching, so he was able to avoid any danger.But this feeling of being watched by eyes hidden in the dark all the time is really not wonderful.

Jing Yannian seemed unable to understand her sarcasm, "I really don't know."

Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, "Mr. Lang's concubine has just lost a child, and her heart is full of depression. I will take her out to relax."

"Is the Princess the heart of a Bodhisattva?" Jing Yannian chuckled slightly.

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded earnestly, "It's too much to say, I'm a jealous woman, and I was influenced by the general, so I know what to do when I turn back."

Praising the mercy of a general who has made great achievements in the shadow of swords and swords is really the same as cursing.

The maids listened to their back and forth mocking each other, they all lowered their hands and bowed their heads, not even daring to breathe.

Jing Yannian frowned slightly, and looked at her deeply, "What Ma'am said is that I have a compassionate heart. When interrogating Qingchi, she stubbornly refused to confess, so she suffered a lot. Sigh... it's better to let her die and tell her Get rid of it as soon as possible."

Xiao Yuzhuo was about to open his mouth to continue the sarcasm, but he suddenly came back to his senses, "Did Qingchi confess?"

Jing Yannian looked at her with a half-smile, "You and I are both kind-hearted people. She was going to tell you herself, but how can you bear to see her now? Or just let it go!"

Seeing him playing tricks on purpose, Xiao Yuzhuo wished he could beat him with a whip.

But Qingchi is still in his hands, and has already confessed, she endured her temper, and laughed, "Your Majesty is really joking, to be soft to those who want to harm me is not kindness, but stupidity."

Jing Yannian let out a long sigh, but still didn't let go.

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "Did the gentleman ask, or did he not ask anything, just showing off on purpose?"

Jing Yannian straightened his upper body suddenly, "Do I need to show off?"

"Don't be afraid that I will see Qingchi, but she didn't say anything, making you lose face, right?" Xiao Yuzhuo raised his eyebrows.

Jing Yannian looked at her silently for a moment, then smiled lightly and got up, raised his hand to touch her head, "Yuyu has grown up, and now she can use aggressive methods?"

Xiao Yuzhuo waved his hand and hit his arm.

But he turned his wrist quickly, and held her soft hand in the palm of his backhand, "I'll take you to meet her right away, will it hurt my face?"

Jing Yannian grabbed Xiao Yuzhuo's hand and got into the carriage.

Originally thought that Qingchi was being interrogated by torture at home, but only when she got to the place did she find out that she was actually imprisoned in a prison on the outskirts of the city.

The prison is cold and terrifying.

The sun was shining brightly outside, but in this prison, it seemed that all the temperature was cut off, and the bloody smell that rushed to her face made her shiver uncontrollably.

Jing Yannian was keenly aware of it, and put his arms around her shoulders, half-embracing her in his arms.

Xiao Yuzhuo struggled awkwardly, but the clean and refreshing sandalwood fragrance on his body made people feel more at ease in this bloody atmosphere for no reason.

She took a deep breath, the fragrance filled her nostrils, she gave up struggling and let him hug her halfway.

After walking for a long time in the dark and dimly lit prison, the jailer who led the way stopped in front of a small wooden door.

"She's a bit miserable, are you afraid?" Jing Yannian stood still and looked back at her.

Xiao Yuzhuo looked up, "Don't underestimate people, I am dignified..."

Before finishing speaking, the jailer opened the door.

The strong smell of blood and rotten flesh hit her face, and her voice suddenly stuck in her throat.

Jing Yannian smiled, held her hand, and dragged her into the execution room.

On the cross stake hung a man with disheveled hair and bloody body.The original color of the skirt on her body can no longer be seen, it can only make people know that she is a woman.

"Dizzy?" Jing Yannian asked casually.

The shirtless judge immediately scooped up a basin of cold water with floating ice, and splashed it on the woman with a "splash".

The woman's hands and feet were tied to the cross stakes, but she still couldn't stop shaking violently. The movement touched the wound on her body, and she screamed twice.

The voice was so shrill that it hardly seemed to come from the mouth.

Xiao Yuzhuo had never seen such a scene with his own eyes, and immediately felt dizzy and felt uncomfortable in his stomach.

"Put her down." Jing Yannian said coldly.

Hearing Jing Yannian's voice, the woman suddenly raised her head, her face was covered with blood, and even her blood-stained hair stuck to her face. Her facial features were hard to see clearly, but those eyes were definitely blue ponds.

Xiao Yuzhuo saw the hideous wounds on her body, and couldn't help taking a step back.

Qingchi's gaze suddenly shifted from Jing Yannian to her face.

That gloomy gaze gave Xiao Yuzhuo a chill in his heart.

"Princess..." Qingchi's voice was hoarse, and he could hardly distinguish between men and women.

"Are you asking? Or should I ask for you?" Jing Yannian held Xiao Yuzhuo's hand.

His palm was warm and dry, and when he held his hand, she realized that she was almost completely cold.

"I ask myself that I have treated you well, who are you instigating to hurt me again and again?" Xiao Yuzhuo calmed down and asked himself.

In front of the person who harmed her, how could she be stage fright, how could she be weak?

Qingchi looked at her for a while, then lowered his head, "The princess is domineering and jealous, and can't tolerate others. I have long admired Mr. Lang...but the princess can't even tolerate a housemaid...We maids who serve the master can marry What kind of good family do you want? The best thing is to serve your husband and give birth to a son and a half daughter..."

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly.

Qingchi paused for a moment before continuing, "It's also because of the princess's bad luck. If there is no change, the Xiao family will still be the same Xiao family as before. I'm afraid no one will dare to think about the position of the princess! It's a pity... Mr. Lang Such a good match, how can the princess be the only one who cares about her?"

"Whispering." Jing Yannian snorted displeasedly.

The criminal officer slammed down his whip.

Qingchi screamed, and the shrill voice echoed in the execution room, Xiao Yuzhuo's complexion couldn't help turning pale.

"It's my uncle—my uncle found me and said that as long as I help her and a master in the palace, I will be your concubine in the future." Qingchi said tremblingly.

"Master in the palace?" Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Jing Yannian in a daze, "Even the women of the Holy Majesty miss you?"

Jing Yannian's face darkened, and Jun's face was full of coldness.

"It's a princess." Qingchi rolled his eyes in pain.

"Which princess?" Xiao Yuzhuo hurriedly asked.

Qingchi shook his head, "I've never seen it before, and my uncle and madam also kept it secret."

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded slowly, "A princess..."

Qingchi raised his head with difficulty, as if he wanted to see Xiao Yuzhuo's shocked and angry expression at this moment, but he saw nothing on her face.

Her exquisite facial features reflected the firelight in the execution room, she seemed to be so calm that people could not understand, only her pair of shredded eyes were particularly clear, "That's really... my fate is not good."

Xiao Yuzhuo murmured softly, turned around and walked out of the execution room, without even waiting for Jing Yannian.

After leaving the prison, the sun fell on her.

She couldn't help raising her face, and let out a deep breath, "Finally, I got out of the dullness and saw the sunshine."

"Why do these words seem to mean something else?" Jing Yannian's voice came from behind.

Xiao Yuzhuo looked back at him deeply, "If your husband is not busy, why don't you send me back home?"

Jing Yannian squinted at her, "What do you want to tell me?"

Xiao Yuzhuo smiled softly, "My life is not good, so naturally I must find a way to make my life better."

Under the bright sunlight, his four eyes met, his deep and sharp eyes seemed to pierce her.

Xiao Yuzhuo didn't dodge or dodge, and let him scrutinize him.

He suddenly sneered, "Okay."

He grabbed Xiao Yuzhuo's hand and almost threw her into the carriage, with such strength that he completely lost the gentleness he had when he came.

Sitting on the carriage, Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes and thought about how to speak after returning home.He didn't notice at all, Jing Yannian's complexion became darker and darker.

When he came to the main room, before Xiao Yuzhuo could speak, Jing Yannian waved his hand to screen away the servant girls.

Mei Xiang thoughtfully closed the door.

In the comfortable and spacious main room, the two sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was very delicate.

Xiao Yuzhuo licked his lips, and said with a smile, "Back then, relying on the power of the Xiao family in the court, and relying on my mother being the eldest princess, I made a fuss about asking the former emperor to give me a marriage order, so I forced you to marry me. ...I was the one who offended you."

The uncontrollable smile in her heart overflowed from the corner of her mouth, so she had to bend slightly and lower her head, as if apologizing, to cover up the joy on her face.

"Now that there is a princess who cares so much about Lang Jun, and the Xiao family is no longer what it used to be, how can I stand in the way of Lang Jun's luck?" Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head and sighed, "I hope it doesn't start well, but it ends well. Lang Jun Give me a piece of paper for my wife, so I can marry another princess."

The real Princess Shouchang had already hanged herself for him, so she didn't want to hang herself on a tree with a crooked neck!

Didn't it mean that three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are many two-legged men?Why should she guard a man who doesn't love her, be afraid, and be killed by someone at some point?

"I can't be in love with my lord, I just hope that we don't hate each other. Where I offended my lord before, I hope my lord will forget it for the sake of me making room for the princess in time, right?" Xiao Yuzhuo took the handkerchief, Pretending to touch the corners of his eyes.

Jing Yannian remained silent.

She looked up at him, cleared her throat, "Although I don't know which princess it is yet, but first congratulations, Mr. Lang is about to become a son-in-law..."

A quiet room.

Xiao Yuzhuo raised his eyes and looked at Jing Yannian for a long time, he sat steadily, his body was like a bell, he didn't move and didn't speak.

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly, what does this mean?
"What do you think, sir?" She asked tentatively.

Jing Yannian's eyes fell on her, and Chen Mo's smudged eyes were too deep, making it impossible to see through his emotions.

His handsome face is indifferent, doesn't seem to be angry?

"If you are too lazy to write, why don't you let me do it for you? You just need to write down your name." Xiao Yuzhuo was impatient.

Jing Yannian snorted, "Xiao Shi, do you want to divorce?"

The tone is wrong?Alarm bells rang in Xiao Yuzhuo's heart.

She scrutinized his expression carefully, and said cautiously: "If Mr. Lang thinks it will hurt his face, then... then divorce is also acceptable."

"Xiao Shi," Jing Yannian leaned closer to her suddenly, his eyes fixed on hers, and the anger that was about to burst out rolled in his black eyes, "You don't have a good memory?"

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "I have a good memory."

"Don't mention divorce, I just said it not long ago, but you forgot all about it?" Jing Yannian sneered.

His teeth are white and neat, and such a bared smile makes people feel the cold light flickering in front of them.

Xiao Yuzhuo sat back a little. Wang's miscarriage that day, he did say in the garden, but... But now the person who looks at him is the princess!How can the princess be more noble than her old princess?

"What else did you say?" Jing Yannian said, getting up and approaching her, "Congratulations on becoming a son-in-law?"

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded with a dry smile, "Yes, yes..."

He raised his hand to grab her shoulders, his fingers were slender and strong, like eagle claws, which hurt her shoulders, "Well, you hurt me..."

"Do you think I look like a man who wants to marry the princess?" Jing Yannian pulled her up from the couch.

He took her on his shoulders and strode towards the inner room.

Xiao Yuzhuo's buttocks were facing the sky, his head was facing down, and his forehead hit his back as solid as iron, and he felt dizzy immediately, "Put me down!"

boom--

She was thrown on the wide bed, and the soft quilt was sunk by her.

He leaned down.

Xiao Yuzhuo was shocked, "Xiuyuan, Xiuyuan, don't get angry..."

"Oh," Jing Yannian sneered, "You told your husband to go to the princess, and you still told me not to get angry?"

Princess Shang's words, in his mouth, sounded a bit like a cheeky face.

Xiao Yuzhuo was annoyed, she shouldn't have brought up the son-in-law. For a self-willed man like Jing Yannian, if she said that to his face, wouldn't it be the same as slapping him in the face and mocking him for relying on women for food?

"I was wrong, please forgive me...ah!" Xiao Yuzhuo screamed.

As soon as she felt cold, Jing Yannian had already tore open her complicated and beautiful skirt.

"Jing Yannian, give me...uh..."

He lowered his head to bite her lips.

Xiao Yuzhuo struggled desperately, talking about reconciliation, divorce, and divorce!Now—what's the matter?
"Let go of me..." She squeezed out vague words between her teeth.

However, her little strength was not enough in front of Jing Yannian.

After all, he suppressed her submissively.

Xiao Yuzhuo thought it was another ordeal, and he would have to lie in bed for a day or two.

I never thought that he was quite patient, not as rude and cruel as when she first took possession of this body.

So much so that Xiao Yuzhuo was trembling from the tips of his toes to the tips of his hair, trembling with excitement.The desires in the human body are sometimes out of the control of the brain, happiness is happiness, and the body will not lie.

For the first time, she really realized that the relationship between husband and wife is so intoxicating and endless.

She was lying in his arms dripping with sweat, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her eyelids.The whole person is soft from the inside out.

"Remember?" His voice was laziness after joy, and it was so nice that people's ears were full of nostalgia.

Xiao Yuzhuo was speechless.

"Are you telling me to divorce you and go to Princess Shang?" Jing Yannian laughed.

Xiao Yuzhuo pretended to be asleep and ignored him.

Jing Yannian raised his hand to lift her chin, "What do I ask you?"

Xiao Yuzhuo closed his eyes tightly, "I'm so sleepy..."

He rolled over and pushed her down again.

"Don't say it, don't say it again!" Xiao Yuzhuo hastily surrendered.

……

That night, Jing Yannian did not leave the main courtyard.

In the wide bed, she was far away from him, but when she woke up, she somehow rolled into his arms, resting on his strong arms, her honey-colored skin was wet with saliva.

Xiao Yuzhuo hurriedly rolled away again, and opened her eyes again—in his arms again, not only resting on his arms, but also hugging his waist...

Xiao Yuzhuo supported his sore waist and got up angrily.He walked lightly to the door.

"Come here." She opened the door and called out.

Mei Xiang was outside. Hearing the voice, she hurried forward with excitement in the corners of her eyes and brows, "What, what? Did the princess get what she wanted?"

Xiao Yuzhuo sighed and shook his head slightly.Who knows why he refuses to reconcile?Obviously now is the best time for him?

When Mei Xiang heard it, her small face collapsed, "It sounds very intense, the princess's monthly letter has just passed ten days, and the time is just right...it can't be the gentleman, can it?"

Xiao Yuzhuo rolled his eyes, can't he?

"Call Juxiang over here! Hurry up!"

Mei Xiang frowned, and ran to call Ju Xiang.

"Make a bowl of Bizi soup, bring it quickly, hurry up!" Xiao Yuzhuo whispered in Juxiang's ear.

Ju Xiang's eyes widened in astonishment, "Princess, this soup hurts your body, you are clearing away cold poison, so you can't..."

"I can tell the priority, go quickly, don't disturb the gentleman!" Xiao Yuzhuo's face darkened.

Ju Xiang was intimidated by her face, she didn't dare to persuade her any more, and retreated lightly.

Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at the bed from the screen from time to time, seeing that Jing Yannian had been sleeping soundly, she was relieved.

But half an hour later, she was nervous like a year.

Ju Xiang carefully brought a bowl of thick black soup, and she quickly took it.

"Princess!" Ju Xiang frowned, "Have you figured it out? After this bowl of medicine goes down, the cold poison that was almost cleared away will accumulate again..."

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded repeatedly, "I understand, isn't this forced by the situation?"

She raised her head to drink.

But there was a big hand that snatched the bowl away.

Xiao Yuzhuo felt a chill behind her back, and she turned her head stiffly.

When did Jing Yannian stand behind her?Why didn't she hear any footsteps?
"What is this?" Jing Yannian looked at her with a half-smile while holding the medicine bowl.

Xiao Yuzhuo inexplicably felt that his throat was a little tight, "It replenishes qi and blood."

"Chrysanthemum fragrance?" Jing Yannian pushed the door open.

Ju Xiang fell to her knees with a puff, but kept silent.

Jing Yannian nodded with a smile, "Don't tell me? Go ask the doctor to test it."

Xiao Yuzhuo's face turned cold.

"If it wasn't for the tonic, I would have cut off Juxiang's hand." Jing Yannian said coldly.

Ju Xiang knelt on the ground, buried her head, and remained silent.

"Come on—" Jing Yannian called out.

Xiao Yu's face was as cold as frost, "There's no need to test it, it's my Bizi soup called Juxiangdiao."

Holding the medicine bowl, Jing Yannian turned around and stared at her face closely.The two were too close, and there seemed to be a raging fire in his eyes, scalding her alive.

Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, "I ordered her to prepare it, you must not punish her."

Jing Yannian nodded slowly, his heroic cheeks reflected the rising sun, which was dyed red, his sword-browed starry eyes showed no joy or anger.

"You asked her to prepare it? Good."

As soon as the good words came out of his mouth, he suddenly raised his hand and dropped the medicine bowl with a "slap".

The white jade bowl smashed to pieces on the bluestone floor under the porch, shattering into slag.

Thick black concoction splashed everywhere.

"Bring this maid down to me." Jing Yannian gritted his teeth, and the voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Xiao Yuzhuo turned pale with shock, "What are you doing?"

Jing Yannian sneered, "What do you think?"

Xiao Yuzhuo jumped out of the door and stood in front of Juxiang, "My dowry maid, it's not your turn to discipline her!"

"You married into my Jing family as a wife, even you are mine, let alone your maid?" Jing Yannian pulled her into his arms, cut her hands behind him, and asked someone to take Ju Xiang down.

"If you want her to come back alive, be good." After Jing Yannian finished speaking, he let go of her hand.

Xiao Yuzhuo rubbed his sore wrist, watching his leaving back, full of resentment.

But Zhu Xiang came back from outside at this time, cupped his hands in front of her, and said in a low voice: "The two young ladies who met my uncle and madam yesterday are maids of the palace."

Xiao Yuzhuo cheered up, "Then match up with Qingchi's confession, which palace is it from?"

Zhu Xiang frowned, and shook her head helplessly, "I followed them all the way and saw them enter the palace gate, but I don't know which palace they are in."

Xiao Yuzhuo let out a long sigh, there are quite a few daughters in the Holy Spirit today, and there are three or four unmarried ones of the right age.Who is it that has the same taste as the previous princess, and fell in love with such a moody man who can turn his face faster than a book?

"That's right!" Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes suddenly lit up, "Let's go back to Xiao's house and ask A Niang's painter to paint the appearance of the two court ladies according to the description. A Niang has been in and out of the palace many times, so it is impossible for Xu to know each other. Tell Aniang about this, Aniang will definitely help me!"

Zhu Xiang shook her head lightly, "What is the identity of the eldest princess, how can she remember the two little maids?"

"There is always a glimmer of hope, even if you don't know each other, it's okay, so that Auntie knows that I am living in dire straits in Jingfu, so she can help me..." Xiao Yuzhuo pursed her lips and smiled, Auntie If you can agree with her to leave Jing Yannian and come forward to help her, this matter will be much easier, right?

Zhuxiang frowned and remained silent.

Mei Xiang said with a mournful face: "Perhaps the eldest princess can give the Princess some advice on how to get Ju Xiang back from the Lord."

Zhu Xiang was taken aback, looked left and right, and saw the broken porcelain bowl on the ground, and the thick black concoction seeping into the crevices of the stone, "What's wrong with Ju Xiang?"

Mei Xiang looked at Xiao Yuzhuo's face, and didn't dare to talk too much.

Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, regardless of the soreness of his waist and limbs, he insisted on preparing a car to go to Xiao's house.

Along the way, Mei Xiang looked at Xiao Yuzhuo frequently.

She looked away helplessly, "Just say what you want."

Mei Xiang murmured and told Zhu Xiang about the Bizi Tang in the morning.

Zhu Xiang's already dark face became even darker, she looked at Xiao Yuzhuo cautiously, and kept silent.

The oppressive atmosphere in the carriage made Xiao Yuzhuo a little bored, she just opened the curtains to take a breath, when she saw a large carriage rubbing against her corner and speeding past.

If it wasn't for the Jingfu's coachman dodging quickly, he might have overturned her carriage.

Mei Xiang exclaimed.

Zhuxiang hurriedly supported Xiao Yuzhuo.

Xiao Yuzhuo, who was angry, was about to curse, but saw the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Xiao's house.

"Huh? Is this the old man's frame?" Mei Xiang said sharply.

Why is the old man's frame so frizzy?

Xiao Yuzhuo looked sideways curiously, but saw a few swift-handed palace servants jumping off the carriage frame, beckoning to each other and carrying a person sideways from the carriage.

"Ah..." Mei Xiang exclaimed.

Zhu Xiang's eyes were sharp, and she quickly covered her mouth, "Don't make any noise."

Xiao Yuzhuo panicked, and quickly ran towards the carriage, "Grandfather? Grandfather?"

Seeing this, the porter of Xiao's family on the door hurriedly opened the door, greeted the soft sedan chair waiting at the door, and helped Mrs. Xiao into the sedan chair, and several bearers ran towards the inner courtyard with wind blowing under their feet.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yuzhuo stepped forward and asked the palace servants who were about to retreat.

The palace people looked at me and looked at you, all with their heads down and not speaking.

Xiao Yuzhuo's uncle also rushed back at this time.

"Uncle." Xiao Yuzhuo said with a sullen face, pointing at the palace man, "Grandfather was brought back just now, after all..."

The uncle of the Xiao family frowned, with a gloomy expression, "Go back and talk."

Only then did Xiao Yuzhuo let a few people go.

She followed her uncle into the inner courtyard in a hurry, and the Xiao family seemed to be in a mess.

The government doctor came quickly, and the children of Xiao's family who were younger generations were shut out.

When Xiao Yuzhuo and Uncle Xiao came in, they could only see the commotion in the yard.

His already gloomy face became even more gloomy, "What does it look like in a mess? Why are you panicking? Grandpa is sick, you should be more silent!"

After speaking, he strode towards the door.

Xiao Yuzhuo saw that all his peers were outside, so he stopped outside the corridor.

The Xiao family took a big step but turned around suddenly under the porch, looked at her and said, "May the Princess want to visit grandfather first?"

Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, then nodded immediately, and followed him into the room.

Xiao Shiliuniang was standing a step away from the porch, and when she saw this, she immediately stepped forward, "Father, I want to see my grandfather too!"

Uncle Xiao didn't pay attention to his daughter at all.

Xiao Sixiniang clenched her fists angrily, "They are all children of the Xiao family. That is her grandfather, isn't it our grandfather? Why can she go in as soon as she comes? We are worried but we can only wait outside ? Even if you ask each other, you will be scolded?"

Her resentful voice was not low, and the yard was quite quiet at this moment, and the younger generation could all hear her dissatisfied voice.

Some of the older ones didn't show it on their faces, but many of the younger ones were filled with righteous indignation, "Civilization..."

Xiao Shiwuniang took a step forward, "The princess came back with the uncle, maybe she already knew something on the way, so she was asked to go in. We don't know anything, so there are so many people going in now, wouldn't it add to the chaos?"

Xiao Shiliuniang's sneering eyes fell on her, "You have been bought by her long ago, and you have become her good sister, so naturally you speak for her."

"They are all children of the Xiao family, who is the sister of whom?" Xiao Shiwuniang asked coldly, "If you are really worried about your grandfather's situation, you shouldn't be arguing about it at this time."

Seeing the condemning gazes of her brothers from the corner of her eyes, Liu Niang couldn't help biting her lower lip, snorted heavily, turned her face away, and ignored her.

The yard was quiet again.

Xiao Yuzhuo got through the door, but didn't go into the inner room.

In order not to affect the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, only the old man's two daughters-in-law and one son are guarded inside.

The uncle of the Xiao family was standing outside the screen, frowning, clasping his hands, full of preoccupations.

"Why did grandfather faint suddenly? Did uncle already know?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a low voice.

All eyes fell on him.

"This..." Uncle Xiao raised his eyes and glanced around, his face was as dark as ink, "Today in the palace..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a sudden imperial decree.

The decree arrives.

When the imperial decree came at this time, the tense nerves of everyone in the Xiao family were stretched even further, as if they could be broken with just a slight force.

"Taking credit for pride, humiliating the sage, being an arrogant minister...remove Xiao Zhun from the post of Zuo Pushe, and relegate him to Jiangzhou governor." The voice of the official who declared the decree was like a bell.

It shattered the peaceful sky above the Xiao family.

Xiao Zhun was still in a coma.

Uncle Xiao led the crowd and knelt down to accept the imperial edict.

Before the grandfather of the Xiao family woke up, the sky of the Xiao family had already collapsed.

The grandfather of the Xiao family, who is the Shangshu Zuo Pushe, is the heaven of the Xiao family.Shangshu Zuo Pushe is equivalent to the prime minister, No. 1 under the emperor.When the new emperor ascended the throne, many powers from the grandfather of the Xiao family were transferred to the hands of the new emperor's confidant, Shangshu Youpushe.

The Xiao family already had a sense of crisis at that time, but the position of the Xiao family in the court could not be shaken for a while.

The Xiao family is already making preparations, going up and down... I didn't expect that the new emperor would do it so quickly, directly on the grandfather of the Xiao family so quickly.

"Father can't bear the blow of being demoted, so..." the second uncle of the Xiao family asked in a low voice.

It is more like a statement than a question.

Xiao's grandfather was exiled from the capital at such an advanced age.Still above the court, he was dizzy because of being demoted.

It really makes people feel more desolate in the dullness.

Uncle Xiao sighed and shook his head.

The noisy courtyard where many children and grandchildren had gathered, suddenly fell silent because of an imperial decree.

Even the chirping of orioles on the branches is very quiet.

"Jiangzhou is so far away... Can my father's body take it?" The third uncle of the Xiao family was worried.

As the only junior in the room, Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't speak at all at this time.But the gazes of the uncles always fell on her intentionally or unintentionally.

"Wake up!" The aunt suddenly exclaimed joyfully from inside the screen.

Everyone can't wait to get wind under their feet and rush into the room.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Zhun snorted, "I'm not dead yet, I'm making a fool of myself, am I going to cry?"

Xiao Yuzhuo, who was walking at the end, couldn't help but stop. Hearing the old man's voice, he was full of spirit, not as weak as everyone guessed.

"The anger hits the heart, the phlegm fascinates the heart..." The doctor said a lot, that is, the old man quarreled with someone and was dizzy from anger. He woke up slowly and he was fine.

"Father, don't worry, even if you are demoted..." The second uncle of the Xiao family didn't finish his sentence before he was trampled on by the uncle.

He grinned in pain.

Xiao Yuzhuo was helpless, the second uncle really did not open which pot and which pot to lift.

But the grandfather snorted, "Why didn't you ask him to tell? I was demoted by the emperor, and the imperial decree has arrived, right? That's just right, I don't need to waste my words, pack my luggage now, and I will leave Beijing to take up my post tomorrow!" "

When everyone heard this, they were startled and knelt down.

"Father, no, you are already old, and your sons are still in the capital, how can I let you leave the capital?"

"Yes, father, you are the elder of the three dynasties, and you have just woken up. If you shirk your physical discomfort and stay in Beijing, the Holy Majesty will not do anything..."

……

Everyone dissuaded him one after another, but Xiao's grandfather couldn't stand it, he suddenly lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed barefoot.

"If you don't clean up for me, won't I know how to clean up myself?" He didn't seem sick in his actions.

The son and daughter-in-law dissuaded them one after another.

The old lady of the Xiao family was also helped over from another courtyard, and when she saw this and asked, she waved her hand and said, "I'll go with you, and go and pack up my salute."

This frightened the sons and daughters-in-law.

Not enough to walk one?The two lords have left the capital, the Xiao family might as well move away with the whole family.

Mrs. Xiao naturally understood that the old lady was deliberately provoking him, and sighed, "You all think I was demoted and fainted? Am I such a worthless person? I have different political views from the Holy One, and my mouth suddenly went dry during the dispute. His tongue was dry, so he fainted. Otherwise, how could he speak against me?"

The old man's sons couldn't help but roll their eyes. It's true that he quarreled with the Holy One, which made the Holy One demote him angrily?

The old man was willful when he was young, but now that he is older, his temper is even better.I don't even think about the current situation of the Xiao family...

"Is Yuyu here?" The old man suddenly saw Xiao Yuzhuo.

Xiao Yuzhuo smiled and blessed her body, she liked the old man's free and easy temperament very much.

"Come here." The old man waved to her.

Xiao Yuzhuo stepped forward quickly, "Grandpa's face is full of red, even if he has been promoted, he is not as energetic as you."

"Grandpa likes that!" The old man nodded and said, "Okay, you all should be busy with whatever you want!"

First he fainted, and then there was an imperial decree to demote him, and the Xiao family was in chaos.

The old man's sons saw that he was healthy and energetic, so they left according to their words and went to appease the Xiao family.

At times like this, the Xiao family can't mess with themselves.

"How is Yuyu doing in Jingfu?" The old man knelt on the couch outside, looking at Xiao Yuzhuo with a smile.

Xiao Yuzhuo thought about it, the old man is leaving, he is afraid that the Xiao family will be even more precarious without him as a big tree, so what should I tell myself?
