The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn
Chapter 280 There are still doubts about the forged edict
In the prison, Zhao Xu, as the head of the family, was interrogated and detained alone, and the rest of the people were imprisoned in another place.
In the cell, Zhao Lian cried until she was hoarse. She kept crying and muttering, "No... I don't want to go to the Jiaofangsi! I don't want to be a slave! If this is the case, I would rather die!"
It also didn't know how a happy birthday party turned out like this, and all the glory and wealth were destroyed overnight.
Several members of the Zhao family were already looking dejected, sitting there in a daze. Only Xue Hanshu smiled sarcastically: "Zhao Lian is really optimistic. Jiaofangsi? Being a slave? That's wishful thinking. For a crime like treason, their entire family might not have enough heads! But she can let her die."
Seeing Xue Hanshu smile, Zhao Lian stopped crying: "You still have the nerve to laugh! If it weren't for you, how could I have fallen to this point! You are a jinx!"
As she spoke, she began to tear Xue Hanshu's hair.
Unexpectedly, Xue Hanshu, who usually looked so weak, actually had the strength to pull Zhao Lian, pushed her down, and scratched Zhao Lian's face with her nails, leaving her face covered with scars in a few scratches.
It's a dead end anyway. She has suffered injustice all her life. Is she going to be bullied by this idiot before she dies?
Zhao Shen was completely desperate and didn't want to care about it anymore. However, when he saw Xue Hanshu hitting him too hard, he still separated them and yelled, "How long are you going to make trouble? What did she say wrong? If I hadn't married you, how could the Zhao family have gotten involved with Xue Zhiyi!"
When people are in desperate situations, human nature is gradually overshadowed by animal nature. At this moment, Xue Hanshu had long lost his rationality and just wanted to vent all the frustration he had accumulated throughout his life.
She spat at Zhao Shen rudely: "Bah! You Zhao family should stop collaborating with the enemy! I feel that I was implicated by you! You dare not take responsibility for what you did, and now you blame everything on me! Fuck you! When you are with men, I see that you bray like a donkey, you are not happy at all!"
"Xue Hanshu!"
Zhao Shen wanted to say something, but Xue Hanshu interrupted him. She did not hide the extreme disgust in her eyes: "Don't talk to me! You are a dirty bastard, I am disgusted by you!"
When the two were in love in the past, Zhao Shen would never have thought that one day he would be humiliated by Xue Hanshu, and he immediately wanted to kill her.
But Zhao Lian got there first, and she jumped up and was about to rip Xue Hanshu's mouth off: "Bitch, how dare you say that about my brother!"
Xue Hanshu slapped her in the face and said, "Who do you think you are? You are so stupid and crude. If you don't have the ability to reincarnate, you can't even get two hundred yuan even if you are sent to a trafficker. The lowest class prostitutes are better than you. A young lady from a marquis's mansion lives like Ge Yuanhui's dog. If I were you, I would rather die at birth!"
The three of them were pulling and fighting each other, completely ignoring Mrs. Zhao who was dying beside them.
It was not until the jailer came in with a whip and beat the three men to stop that they finally quieted down. One of them squatted in a corner of the cell, with a bruised face and nose, and remained silent. Only Xue Hanshu laughed foolishly: If she had known that this would be the result, what did it matter that she had lived such a cautious and depressed life?
Sure enough, she finally understood why Xue Panrou lived like a mad woman. It turned out that it was really enjoyable.
……
Huo Wuyou went to the Tianlao and went to find Xue Zhiyi after coming back.
Meeting at the Jiang family was much easier than meeting in the palace. He could now climb through the window to enter and exit Xue Zhiyi's boudoir just like entering and exiting his own home. Qiuyun and Suyue were not surprised at all. When they saw it was him, they closed the door and left.
When he saw Xue Zhiyi, Huo Wuyou avoided his gaze guiltily.
Ever since that day, whenever he saw Xue Zhiyi, his blood would boil, and he would unconsciously recall the dazed look she had in his arms. The few times he saw her in recent times, Huo Wuyou always avoided her gaze.
"What's wrong?" Xue Zhiyi saw that he looked a little strange: "You went to the prison, but what did you find out?"
After calming down for a while, Huo Wuyou said seriously: "I went to see Zhao Xu, and he acted very strangely."
The two of them sat side by side on the chaise longue by the window, and Xue Zhiyi asked him, "What do you mean?"
Huo Wuyou said: "When I went to the prison to see Zhao Xu, I found that he had been poisoned and made mute."
"Mute?!" Xue Zhiyi was surprised: "Someone wants to silence him."
Huo Wuyou nodded: "I guessed the same, but it's hard to say who this person is. It could be Prince Cheng, and I'm worried that he might say something he shouldn't. It could also be Prince Gong. After all, Prince Gong probably still thinks Zhao Xu is his man."
"However, even if you are mute, you should still be able to ask something, right?" Xue Zhiyi said.
"Yes." Huo Wuyou said truthfully, "Although it has been confirmed that he colluded with the enemy and killed my father, brother and 100,000 soldiers, I still asked him about it in person. He nodded and admitted it, but when I mentioned the forged edict, he smiled, and smiled indifferently, neither admitting nor denying that he did it."
Huo Wuyou still remembered that Zhao Xu was tied to the rack in the Sky Prison, covered in blood, and he looked at him unwillingly, as if he hated that he had not been able to completely eliminate the problem, and finally he was defeated by a useless playboy whom he despised.
When Zhao Xu nodded to acknowledge what he had done, Huo Wuyou really wanted to chop off his head with his own hands and use his blood to sacrifice to his parents, brother, and the soldiers who had died in vain at Yueling Pass.
One hundred thousand people, so many loyal and brave men, many of them could not even be wrapped in their horsehide, and were buried in the border area. Even his brother's body could not be found, and could only be buried in a handful of yellow earth at Yueling Pass.
It is such a person who is actually ranked as a king and supported by the people of Dayong. It is really ironic!
But when Huo Wuyou mentioned the forged edict, Zhao Xu actually laughed with his bloody mouth open, laughing so hard that tears were streaming down his face. There was a mocking look in his eyes when he looked at Huo Wuyou, as if he was watching a joke.
Huo Wuyou wanted to untie him and force him to write down what he wanted to say, but Zhao Xu seemed to go crazy suddenly. He behaved incoherently, laughed loudly, and tore his clothes and hair, then lay on the ground in a hideous manner, like a mad beast.
Seeing him like this, the jailer guessed that Zhao Xu couldn't stand the stimulation and his brain was damaged, so he had to ask Huo Wuyou to leave.
After understanding the whole process, Xue Zhiyi fell into deep thought. After a long while, she raised her eyes and looked sideways at Huo Wuyou beside her: "There is something wrong here. Zhao Xu is now doomed. Since he is unwilling to tell the whole story, he intends to take the reason into his coffin."
She lowered her voice as she spoke: "I have a hunch that you must not mention the forged imperial edict in front of His Majesty. You must act as if you have never known about it."
Seeing Xue Zhiyi's serious expression, Huo Wuyou frowned and said, "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I know that the emperor's heart is hard to predict. Even for General Shen, I will not disclose this matter, let alone ask His Majesty to investigate this matter."
Hearing him say this, Xue Zhiyi felt relieved: "We can privately investigate the doubts in this matter. At least for now, Zhao Xu is definitely dead, and you have avenged your great hatred. Everything is going in the direction we expect."
At least this time, the blood of Yongping Marquis Mansion will not splash on Huo Wuyou, and he will not have to dirty his hands like in his previous life.
With a slight nod, Huo Wuyou hugged her and rested his chin on her forehead. This kind of cuddling made him feel relaxed, and he couldn't help feeling sleepy.
Perhaps it was this soft embrace that made him, in his sleepiness, vaguely imagine Xue Zhiyi leaning on his arms, looking at her with such an uncontrollable look...
Huo Wuyou suddenly woke up with a tightness in his lower abdomen. He let go of Xue Zhiyi and quickly stood up with his back to her.
Xue Zhiyi was leaning on him, but suddenly she missed. She looked at Huo Wuyou with a puzzled expression.
Not knowing what sudden illness he had, Xue Zhiyi asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
Huo Wuyou said nothing, just turned his back to Xue Zhiyi, thinking to himself: Damn it, why haven't they gotten married yet? !
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Miss, the master calls you for something urgent."
It was Su Yue's voice.
Huo Wuyou had never found Jiang Xu so pleasing to the eye, so he just urged Xue Zhiyi: "Go quickly, don't keep him waiting for too long."
Upon hearing that there was an urgent matter, Xue Zhiyi didn't bother to argue with Huo Wuyou and hurried away.
When Xue Zhiyi arrived, he found that the gate of Jiang Mansion was open. A man dressed as a eunuch named Jiang Xu was standing in the courtyard. The eunuch had a happy look on his face, but Jiang Xu's face was not very good, and he just maintained a polite smile.
Seeing Xue Zhiyi coming, his expression darkened again, with a hint of melancholy.
But the eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty has issued an order. Miss Jiang, please kneel down and receive it."
Xue Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat and he vaguely guessed what the imperial edict was about.
She bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I, Xue Zhiyi, pay my respects to you."
Jiang Xu also knelt and said, "Your Majesty, I, Jiang Xu, pay my respects to you."
The eunuch cleared his throat and said, "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Lin'an Marquis Huo Wuyou has been involved in the affairs of state and is well-known for his political skills. Now that he has been crowned, he deserves a good match. The younger sister of Dali Temple Junior Official Jiang Xu, Jiang Wan, is chaste and obedient, and has a proper manner and manner. Now, in compliance with the Empress Dowager's decree, they shall be married and an auspicious day shall be chosen for the wedding. May your majesty be with you!"
Xue Zhiyi's heart seemed to be slowly tickled by something...After today, she and Huo Wuyou would truly share honor and disgrace. This kind of bond did not make her feel uneasy, but instead gave her a bit of hope.
She kowtowed and raised her hand to receive the imperial edict: "Your Majesty, I accept the edict. Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty, and the Queen Mother."
It turns out that this is what it feels like to marry someone you love.
