Chapter 165 Awkward amnesty
Before Xue Sui spoke, Xue Yuechen shook his head and denied this speculation.
"The prince has always been a sensible person in his actions and will not be so confused. And if he really intends, he will not hide from him..."
Xue Sui's smile remained unchanged, "Sister thinks so well. No matter what Na Rui and the Princess came from, she will not be the one the prince values now..."
Love is as thin as a piece of paper.
In the power struggle between Li Huan and Li Zhao, Rui and an orphan who had both died and had no foundation, their only reliance was the little pity of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty.
But if she is not involved with Li Huan, these will be lost...
"What the prince never wants is the love of his children. My sister just needs to keep the internal affairs of the palace and control the palace steadily, and do her duty... This love between men and women is like quicksand at the fingertips. The tighter the hold, the easier it will pass... My sister needs to see it openly and will not cause trouble..."
Xue Yuechen looked at her seriously, held her hand, and a little gratitude appeared on her face.
"Sister Six, I feel at ease with you by my side. Now I want to come here, fortunately I'll come back that day, otherwise I won't know how to deal with the current situation..."
The drizzle outside the window hit the banana, making a drizzle sound.
Xue Sui smiled slightly and looked at Xue Yuechen's eyes full of trust, "It is Xue Liu's blessing to be able to share his sister's worries. But..."
Her eyes moved downward and looked at Xue Yuechen's belly.
"Is there still no news?"
Xue Yue frowned slightly, revealing a hint of helplessness.
"The prince is busy with business. He has been staying at Mu Yueju for so long. He has had one with me once. He came back after drinking that night..."
She seemed a little embarrassed, and lowered her head and looked at her flat belly, "Maybe it's because the fate is not good, and I can't force it."
Xue Sui smiled and said, "It's good that sister can think so. As long as the prince is willing to come to Mu Yueju, sister will be the biggest winner in the mansion."
After Xue Yuechen thought about it, his mind seemed to be fiddled. He suddenly looked up and looked directly at Xue Sui, "You and I are sisters, and my sister will say everything. If there is a sudden abruptness, don't mind."
After saying that, she pursed her lips and her eyes flashed a little.
"The prince frequently came to Tanqiuyuan in those days, and he had something to do with his sister..."
"No." Xue Sui quickly answered, "I treat the prince as my brother-in-law, and the prince treats me... both interrogate and test, just like an interrogation of the prisoner, asking about the matter of the old Lingzang, and saying it is selfless to do business."
After saying that, he smiled slightly, "Maybe it was to use my sister as a shield to block the gossiping mouths in the mansion. The prince deliberately treated me a little more considerate..."
Xue Yuechen let out the turbid breath for a long time.
"Good sister, if you don't tell me, I'll almost believe it..."
The two of them were chatting for a while. Before Xue Sui left, Xue Yuechen said gently again: "It's almost autumn. I asked the needle and thread room to make a batch of autumn clothes. I will go to each yard to measure the size in the past two days. What color and material my sister likes, I will tell the embroiderer."
Xue Sui bowed and bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, sister."
Xue Yuechen took an umbrella and took her to the door. Xue Sui smiled and said goodbye, turned around and walked into the path, returned to Tanqiuyuan along the lake, and then slowly closed her smile.
She hesitated for a while, and lay down in a loose clothes, but she finally tossed and turned. She got up and picked up her pen and ink, wrote down a piece of paper, and brought Lingyu over.
"Go."
The night is as deep as water.
The East Palace after the new rain is as quiet as ink.
When the spirit feathers slammed in front of Li Zhao's window, Li Zhao was feeding another pigeon under the lamp...
Hearing the sound of Lingyu gurgling, Li Zhao opened the window.
Lingyu jumped and landed on his desk.
Li Zhaoman casually took off the letter tube and was silent for a moment before he took apart the plain paper that Xue Sui brought.
There is a bird with wings wrapped around silk thread, next to it is a line of beautiful and neat small calligraphy.
"The wind and rain are like darkness, and the roosters crow."
When Lai Fu came in with the medicine bowl, he saw the prince holding the letter tightly in his hand, his eyebrows were cold and motionless.
In the candlelight, the cloud patterns on the light robe flickered and darker, and the chill at the corners of the lips was colder than the one that was about to die on the desk.
"Master, it's time to rest after using the medicine..."
Li Zhao did not look back and gently stroked the pigeon's feathers.
"There will be a grand ceremony tomorrow. I will prepare the memorial. You can leave first..."
Lai Fu lowered his head and slowly retreated, but he repeatedly pondered the calligraphy and paintings he had just seen—
The wind and rain are like darkness, and the roosters crow?
Was Mrs. Ping'an trying to tell Your Highness that a weak woman, who was waiting for her lover's arrival alone on a stormy night? Or do you want to say that she is in a difficult situation now, please keep your faith together, wait for the rooster to crow and the sky to dawn, and the clouds will clear and the sunrise?
The prince's face looks so ugly...
Obviously, it is not the former, but the latter.
-
The next day.
Just as dawn broke, Xue Sui got up and washed up, went to Mu Yueju in a radiant manner, and invited Xue Yuechen to the garden to enjoy the flowers and relax.
The two walked slowly along the winding path and talked softly, with a strong interest. Guixi's family came to pass the message and said that Princess Wenjia's girl was asking for a meeting.
Xue Sui was slightly stunned, looked at Xue Yuechen and asked someone to call in.
In front of Xue Yuechen, Dong Xu knelt at Xue Sui's feet crying. "Princess, Mrs. Ping'an, please... help the princess."
Before Xue Sui could speak, Xue Yuechen asked with concern.
"Tell me quickly, what happened to Wen Jia?"
Dong Xu glanced at Xue Sui and said with a clear eyes: "Late last night, Princess Pingle suddenly brought someone into the palace, scolding us for being unfaithful and seducing her husband's consort as a widow, so that the husband's consort was alienated from her, breaking up her happy marriage, and asking the empress dowager to marry the princess to the bitter and cold land in the north..."
After a pause, Dongxu twitched and choked.
"She also stole the embroidered scroll of "The Medicine King's Sutra" prepared by Princess Wenjia for the Empress Dowager's birthday..."
Xue Yuechen was very angry: "What a arrogant and unreasonable person."
The cursing sound became low until the end of the day, and she was in a dilemma.
"When the prince comes back, I will ask him to come forward and uphold justice and make the decision for Princess Wenjia..."
Dong Xu shook his head repeatedly and cried, "Princess, you are kind-hearted, but our princess really can't afford to take it and provoke His Highness Pingle... Now, I hope to calm down the situation, so take the Medicine King Sutra away. But the princess and Prince Lu are innocent. If she loses her reputation and marry far away from the north, how can she survive in the future..."
Pingle is going to ruin Wen Jia.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The charge of affair is not counted, but she will be ruined.
"Get up." Xue Sui helped Dong Xu up, "You go back and tell Princess Wen Jia that you don't have to worry about the rumors. Instead of entangling Princess Pingle, it's better to wait for the queen to make the decision..."
Dong Xu nodded, thanked him again and again, and left with tears.
Xue Yuechen was filled with righteous indignation and suffered a lot in front of Xue Sui, saying a lot of old things that Pingle used to bully and domineering, and complained to Wen Jia, but also reminded Xue Sui not to provoke her easily, so as not to cause trouble for herself...
When the sunlight pierced the clouds, Xue Sui sent Xue Yuechen back, so he found an excuse to take Xiao Zhao out of the mansion to meet Wen Jia.
The carriage passed by Dongsheng Street and happened to run into the official officer of Jingzhao Mansion in front of the notice board and posted a notice—
"Chengqing the Holy Book of the Empress Dowager's Seventy-Five-Year-Long Life, and the emperor entrusts to benefit the world."
"All crimes such as theft, lawsuits, and fugitives shall be punished."
"The corvee service bank owed by the porters and stove households in the canal transport will be exempted."
"If the prefectures and counties are stuck in prison for more than three years, the crime will be reduced to the first level..."
“…”
In front of the notice board, the old scholar squinted his eyes and read the notice.
People around him listened, and a few children laughed and frolicked among the crowd, shouting excitedly, "I want to have a general amnesty for the world."
The vendors on the street didn't care about soliciting business, so they squeezed over and stretched their necks to look around. In front of the tea stall, several old men were shaking their palm-leaf fans, shaking their heads and lamenting the impermanence of the world.
The entire street was instantly filled with excitement and noisy.
"What's this amnesty? The most beneficial ones are Pingle and the Xiao family..." Xiao Zhao lay down on the car window, looked at the noise outside, put down the curtain angrily, and cursed in Xue Sui's ear.
"Girl, it's probably because the Dog Emperor issued a general amnesty for Pingle and Xiao."
The Dog Emperor cursed Xue Sui and couldn't help but smile.
"Don't speak nonsense, there are ears in the wall."
Xiao Zhao’s guess is true, not entirely true.
Those who serve the king value profit. Emperor Chongzhao is not a foolish king who disregards the court's principles for the sake of love.
He has his own considerations.
He could use the prince's hand to suppress the forces of the Xiao family's relatives, so that they could crawl obediently on the ground, and he would definitely not watch Li Zhao kill all the Xiao family, which would make the old ministers in the court feel disappointed.
The prince is a knife.
The Xiao family is also a knife.
One rises and the other falls, which is exactly the technique of balance between emperors.
Compared to the Xiao family's relatives who are ready to move, let the prince dominates the country, it will make the emperor feel uneasy - under the emperor, there is the prince, and one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.
Emperor Chongzhao played this game of chess smarter than anyone else...
Xiao Zhao sighed softly again, "It's a pity that Princess Wenjia's Medicine King Sutra. Princess Wenjia and Wan Zhaoyi have spent so much effort to embroider... Do you really forget it like this?"
Xue Sui smiled faintly, held up the green jade hairpin on her temples, and did not answer Xiao Zhao's words, but lifted the curtain and looked at the crowd on the street.
Among the crowd, a familiar figure was stopping under the banner of the restaurant, and his woven golden python robe made his skeleton become more straight and heroic.
The moment his eyes collided, there was no turbulence in his eyes, his eyebrows were condensed like iron, and his tightly pursed lips were even more quenched with ice.
Xue Sui unconsciously clenched the curtains and squinted at him.
It's so cold that I'm really like a debt collection...
Li Zhao: Haha, I don’t care about you because I am the one who is not careful.
Xue Sui: Ignore me, thank you...
Li Zhao:...
