I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Liu Yueru and the others were invited back into the Liu Mansion. Everyone sat in the main hall and remained silent for a while.

After Xie Jingrui finished dealing with the matter, he hurried back. Seeing the people sitting in the main hall with their heads down, his brows slightly frowned.

He walked quickly to Liu Yueru's side and sat down.

"The more you fear something, the more likely it will come." Liu Zimo said helplessly.

Xie Jingrui frowned and looked at Liu Zimo and asked, "Where did you find that half of the child's finger bone?"

After hearing this, Liu Zimo was also annoyed: "It's all my fault that I didn't check it carefully before buying the pendant. It actually contained two burnt finger bones of a child."

Liu Zimo noticed something was wrong again. He suddenly stood up from his seat and said in surprise, "No, I clearly burned those things and threw them into the lake. But none of the people under the Fasuo had wet clothes. Where did they find those things?"

Liu Fufeng suddenly exclaimed and asked, "Could it be that Lord Xiang is in league with those people from the Northern Frontier? The Liu family now holds both civil and military power. They are planning to defeat the people inside one by one first."

Liu Zimo and Liu Yueru had both seen the finger bones. They were the same as the finger bones of the burnt children in the back mountain of Wanfu Temple. They were all finger bones of children around seven or eight years old. Lord Xiang just brought people in for a simple search and they quickly discovered what was wrong. They even found such a short section of the finger bone. If there was no problem with Lord Xiang, then there must be something wrong with the guards who came in to investigate.

The hall fell into dead silence again.

Liu Yueru frowned slightly, and she tried hard to recall her memories of these things from her previous life.

But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't imagine these fragments. After her rebirth, the trajectories of many things were different and the time of their appearance was different.

Even the man who knew gunpowder has not been found yet. She was a little confused, not knowing whether she remembered it wrong or that man would never appear again.

If the other party would delay his appearance, it has been so long now that he should appear.

Liu Yueru was a little absent-minded as she thought about it, and she regretted that she didn't care much about the affairs of the court in her previous life. However, her health was gradually getting worse at that time, and she had no time to care about other things.

At that time, the Liu family began to decline due to foreign invasions. The eldest brother broke an arm and was removed from the position of first-rank general. He slowly recovered at home and his power was taken away.

Xie Jingrui's gaze stayed on Liu Yueru's face for a long time.

Seeing her distressed look, he could not bear to say, "Yue'er, you should take good care of yourself during this period of time and don't worry too much."

"Big brother, second brother, it's better for you to stay in the mansion now. Just treat it as a day off at home. You can also take this opportunity to have a good rest."

The outside was surrounded by people from the Dali Temple, which made everyone in the Liu Mansion nervous. How could Liu Zimo and Liu Fufeng have the mind to take a break and have a good rest?

Especially Liu Zimo, when he thought of what Liu Yueru said about the dreams she had, in which the entire Liu family was executed, his heart suddenly hung in the air.

Liu Zimo looked at Xie Jingrui and said, "Your Majesty, we can't go out now. If there is any news or something happens outside, we still need your help."

Xie Jingrui nodded gently: "Okay, as long as I am here, you will be fine."

After Xie Jingrui finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yueru with burning eyes.

Liu Yueru lowered her eyes somewhat embarrassedly.

Thinking that the person who knew how to make gunpowder had not been found yet, Liu Yueru always felt that she had overlooked something. A dilapidated thatched hut quickly flashed through her mind, and she seemed to have seen the man's figure in that thatched hut.

She narrowed her cold eyes slightly, and then said, "There is a thatched cottage in the eastern suburbs. Your Majesty might as well quietly ask someone to go over and take a look. Perhaps the man who knows how to make gunpowder can be found there."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jingrui assigned his subordinates to handle the matter.

Lord Xiang also reported to the Emperor what happened in the Liu Mansion, including the discovery of the child's severed finger. Emperor Hexu was wary of foreign affairs.

After hearing what Lord Xiang said, and hearing what Xie Jingrui told him some time ago that Zhao Wanyan in Liu Zhengtang's mansion was a princess of the Northern Frontier, he felt like a thorn in his heart.

Emperors have always been suspicious of others. Now the Liu family holds too much real power, which makes Emperor Hexu have to be on guard.

In addition, several princes began to compete openly or secretly for the throne some time ago, and Emperor Hexu was also thinking about this matter in his mind.

Those princes who wanted to gain more power not only colluded with foreign forces to obtain their help, but also tried their best to win over important officials in the court to gain their support.

The conspiracy between the Third Prince Xie Yunxi and Northern Frontier has been exposed, and he is now imprisoned in his own palace. Emperor Hexu has been reluctant to take action against the Third Prince, and he also has his own plans.

Now, apart from Crown Prince Xie Beichen, the only other person who can compete for the imperial power is Second Prince Xie Jingrui.

Xie Jingrui has a good relationship with everyone in the Liu Mansion.

Emperor Hexu also wanted to take the opportunity to test Xie Jingrui's thoughts.

Immediately, he ordered Lord Xiang: "This matter is under your full authority. You must get to the bottom of it and give the people an explanation."

Emperor Hexu ordered, "Pass it down. Lord Liu, Liu Zimo, Liu Fufeng, and tutor Liu Yiyan are all temporarily staying at home. As long as the matter is not investigated, they are not allowed to leave the palace."

"Yes." The eunuch in the palace responded.

period.

Song Nanzhi is busy with his marriage with Princess Anlan.

Knowing that the Liu family was in trouble, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

He thought, fortunately, he had divorced Liu Yueru some time ago, otherwise he would have suffered as well.

Nowadays, many people outside know that he is going to marry Princess Anlan. So what about those so-called favoring concubines and neglecting wives? Those ugly things that have harmed Princess Anlan have been slowly forgotten by time.

Although Song Nanzhi is still a minor official, it does not affect those who come to admire him.

There was also an official named Ying Yu who said that as long as he married Princess Anlan, he could be immediately transferred from his current position and promoted to a higher rank.

Song Nanzhi just felt that his future was promising and he was very proud of himself.

He personally came to the door of Liu Mansion with the invitation.

Emperor Hexu only said that people from the Liu Mansion were not allowed to go out, but he did not forbid those people from entering the Liu Mansion.

After greeting the guard, Song Nanzhi swaggered into the main hall of Liu's mansion and sat down aside.

He waited for a long time, but no one came to serve tea and snacks.

Thinking that the Liu Mansion was now in decline, they were reluctant to serve even tea and snacks.

The secret joy in my heart became even greater.

Song Nanzhi stood up and took off his clothes to make himself look more energetic.

Not long after.

There were several footsteps coming from the corridor.

Liu Yueru's somewhat pale face suddenly appeared in Song Nanzhi's eyes.

He walked quickly forward and reached out to pull Liu Yueru.
