The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 181

"Queen, why are you here?" The emperor immediately got up and went to help the queen.

Empress Dowager He walked into the court slowly with a gloomy face, and glanced at him coldly when passing by Xi Gongjue.

"If Ai's family doesn't come, I'm afraid someone will rebel." After finishing speaking, Empress Dowager He sat on the seat beside the dragon chair with a majestic expression.

"Hehe, why does my mother's words sound so serious? I'm just discussing with all my lovers how to send Princess Rui'an back to Yangzhou. My mother doesn't need to panic." The emperor laughed.

"Your Majesty, Ai's family has also heard about Princess Rui'an. The princess is ill, so it is understandable to go back to her hometown, but Dugu Jialuo does not have to be escorted. He is the third prince of Liuyun Kingdom, so he is not suitable to escort the princess. It is inevitable that people will gossip about it, do you want to shame our Western Palace royal family?" The Empress Dowager obviously knew the countermeasures of the ministers today, and I don't know which eyeliner informed the secret, so that the Empress Dowager He, who seldom came to the court, actually personally door.

"Queen Mother, An Ran has a strange disease. Because she suspected it was a plague, no ministers dared to escort her. The Third Prince of Liuyun Kingdom only considered him because he was an enemy. Don't worry too much." Xi Gongjue said respectfully.

Empress Dowager He snorted coldly: "Thinking? Are you really sorry for your family? Since the princess may be plagued, she cannot be sent back to Yangzhou. According to the regulations of our royal family, anyone who is infected with the plague will be sent to the wasteland. Let it fend for itself, Jue, you will not forget the rules of your ancestors, will you?"

"Go back to the empress dowager, my son dare not." Xi Gongjue should be on the surface, but in fact he is a little anxious in his heart. The empress dowager has always taken the Liuyun country's hostages to death. I am afraid that if she comes, this matter will not be easy to handle. up.

"Since you know it, why don't you obey it? This kind of thing is not used to embarrass the emperor? Aijia's meaning is very clear, just send a few guards to the wasteland, and there is no need for the third prince of Liuyun Kingdom." Empress Dowager He Aggressive, bent on destroying Nishinomiya Jue's original plan.

Xi Gongjue clasped his hands and said, "Forgive me, Empress Dowager, my wife An Ran is only suspected of having the plague, but she has not been diagnosed. If it is not the plague, then sending it directly to the wasteland is not a scorn for human life? I have had a year with An Ran, as the saying goes, a good day Husband and wife have a hundred days of grace, I will never watch her die, even if the empress dowager blames me, I will protect her."

Xi Gongjue's words of protecting his wife were so touching that even the queen mother had no words to continue.

"Jueer, you love your wife dearly, and Aijia understands, but you also have to consider for the people of the world. If Ye Anran is a plague, then how dangerous it will be to send back to Yangzhou, do you know how many people in Yangzhou City?" Seeing that Xi Gongjue changed his strategy to play the card of warmth, the queen mother was no longer arrogant, but used the people of Yangzhou as an excuse.

Xi Gongjue raised the corner of his mouth, maybe he had thought of this argument long ago, so he lowered his head and replied: "Go back to the Empress Dowager, this minister has already thought about it, even if An Ran is sent back to Yangzhou, he will be quarantined, if it is found to be a plague, Then send people to the wasteland immediately, if not, then allow her to recuperate now in Yangzhou City, they say that fallen leaves return to their roots, if An Ran really dies, then I also hope that she can die in her hometown, I ask the empress dowager for mercy .”

What Xi Gongjue said was awe-inspiring and expressive. Empress Dowager He had no reason to refuse. If she continued to refuse, she might be considered inhumane by all civil and military officials.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager He's complexion changed slightly and she said: "Since this is the case, then Aijia agrees. Princess Rui'an is allowed to return to Yangzhou to recuperate. It's just that the escort must be chosen elsewhere."

"Okay, queen mother, you can choose whoever you choose, okay?" Seeing that the queen mother let go, the emperor immediately coaxed.

"The Ai family really has a candidate, the nephew of the Ai family, He Guang, the captain of the hussars, what does the emperor think?" The queen mother said proudly.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, let the queen mother decide everything."

"Jue'er, do you think Aijia's idea is good?" Queen Mother He asked, looking at Xi Gongjue meaningfully.

"Okay, very good, everything is up to the Queen Mother." Xi Gongjue knew that if there was a head-on confrontation at this time, then Queen Mother He would charge herself with a crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitor, so since she has chosen a candidate, it is up to him first Look at him, and then think of a way.

"Okay, since there is no objection, let's do this. Three days later, He Guang will escort Princess Rui'an back to Yangzhou." After finishing speaking, the queen mother got up and left.

"Respectfully send off the empress dowager, a thousand years old." All civil and military officials couldn't help but sweat.

"That's it for today, let's retreat." The emperor glanced at Xi Gongjue, waved his hands and said to all the civil and military officials.

"Yes, I will leave." All the ministers gradually left the venue, Xi Gongjue got up and walked out, returned to the palace, called Nie Tian and Xiu Lei, and secretly discussed the next step.

Although Empress Dowager He repeatedly made things difficult, Jue Xigong was very confident and was not prepared to back down at all. Since he agreed to Ye Anran, he would go all out.

After discussing the results, Jue Nishinomiya got up and walked out of the study, and saw Mrs. Jing waiting for him at the door with soup.

"My lord, my concubine made some dessert. I'll eat some. I haven't rested for a long time because of the concubine's affairs." Madam Jing said it sincerely, but it's a pity that her method is not suitable for Jue Xigong. It's useless.

In the past, Xi Gongjue doted on her and let her go. It was because he was in a good mood to cooperate with her acting, but now Xi Gongjue was busy with Ye Anran's affairs and he was no longer in the mood to play with her.

So Nishinomiya shook his head: "No, take it away, I still have something to do, you go to bed first."

After finishing speaking, Jue Xigong turned around and left without any concern for Mrs. Jing's feelings. She stood behind him with tears in her eyes: "Master, you can drink less, I have been up for three full hours."

It's a pity that Jue Xigong has already gone far away and can't hear him. Seeing Jue Xigong's figure walking towards Chunxiao Pavilion, Mrs. Jing was furious and knocked over the sweet soup in her hand.

"Ye Anran, you really want to play this kind of trick with me, you just wait for me, the days are still long." From Mrs. Jing's point of view, it was Ye Anran who deliberately got sick in order to please the prince and make him feel bad.

She just heard that Ye Anran had a strange disease, but she didn't know the specific disease. Chunxiao Pavilion was secretly protected by Xi Gongjue's guards, and no one else could get in. No matter how relaxed she was, she could only watch from a distance. But we can't find out the truth.

Chunxiao Pavilion

Ye Anran was wearing a long purple dress, leaning on the bed and reading a book. After using a little red, except for many red spots on her body and love, she didn't feel any discomfort at all. In Chunxiao Pavilion, she can't move around, she can only read in the room.

"Is it better today? Is there any discomfort?" Facing this woman who poisoned him, Nishinomiya was more distressed than angry.

"No, I'm fine, how's it going, how's it going today?" Ye Anran knew that he had been walking around about her these past few days.

"Fortunately, there is a little trouble, but it will be resolved soon." Regarding the empress dowager's obstruction, Xi Gongjue didn't say much, Ye Anran would only worry if he said too much, and there was no other benefit at all, so he simplified the process.

"Well, that's good, when can I leave Bianjing?" Ye Anran was a little anxious.

"You want to ask when Dugu Jialuo can get out of danger, right?" Xi Gongjue saw Ye Anran's intentions and explained for her.

Ye Anran blushed slightly: "Yes."

"Three days at the soonest, if there are no accidents." Nishi Gongjue unexpectedly did not get angry or jealous, maybe facing a woman like Ye Anran who has no hesitation in her love, he really can't get angry.

"Well, okay, thank you." Ye Anran raised her head and said seriously.

Jue Nishinomiya smiled nonchalantly: "You're welcome, and I'm not asking for your help. This is a deal, we each take what we need, so there is no need to thank you."

Indifference is the practice of Jue Nishinomiya. Although he really wanted to treat her better, he still disguised himself very tightly, not wanting to be seen through his weak heart.

"I understand, but even if it's a transaction, I want to thank you, because you have sacrificed a lot in this transaction." Ye Anran knew what it would mean if Xi Gongjue helped her, Sima Qingqian analyzed the right If Xi Gongjue helped her this time, the Queen Mother and the Emperor might always be suspicious of him in the future, suspecting that he was in collusion with Liuyun Kingdom.

And her condition is to stay by his side, that's all. In this business, the loser is Nishinomiya-jue, and it's a big loss.

"It's late, go to bed early, there will be visitors tomorrow." After leaving these words, Jue Nishinomiya turned and left.

Ye Anran was in a fog when listening...

In the early morning of the next day, a visitor did arrive, but the people who came were none other than Xi Gongjin and Xi Gongmo.

"My lords, I'm sorry, my lord has an order that no one is allowed to visit the sick." Nie Tian and Xiu Lei firmly guarded the entrance of Chunxiao Pavilion.

"What do you know, are we anyone? We are our own family, Ye Anran is my sister-in-law, do I need you to take care of my sister-in-law when I come to see her?" Nishinomiya Jin has a bad temper and began to complain.

"That's not okay, my prince said, without his order, no one can do it." Nie Tian said with a straight face.

"Oh, you want to be beaten, don't you? Even the king dares to stop? You dare to talk about my second brother. Where is my second brother? I'll go find him?" Xigong Jin chattered non-stop, while Xigong Lonely didn't say a word, and looked up at the upstairs from time to time, hoping to see Ye Anran. These days, Ye Anran didn't go to the teahouse, and then suddenly it was reported that the princess had a strange disease, causing a commotion in Bianjing. The two of them naturally I couldn't sit still anymore, I wanted to take a look, but I didn't want to be unable to even enter the door.

"You don't need to look for it, I'm here." Xi Gongjue stood not far away in a black brocade robe.
