Prime Minister Chasing Her Husband

The Ninghou Mansion collapsed overnight without any sign.The whole city was in an uproar, and all kinds of speculations continued. Finally, the imperial list came and a letter was written: Marquis Ning had deliberately conspired against him and had been executed before the battle. His wife and children committed suicide in fear of crime.

"Ninghou's Mansion was on fire at midnight last night. Zi Jun Hou Chou brought people here. Both the prince and the young lady were burnt to charred corpses, beyond recognition, only the things on their bodies were still there. Madam is in front of Zi Junhou. It is said that he took Ninghou's sword and scolded Xiao Qian, but I don't know what he scolded, but those who went were all around Xiao Qian." Inside Li Mansion, Li Yong just came back from court, and brought Xie Xuan, who came to the mansion to look for him, entered the inner room of the study, knowing that he was one of his own, so he told the gossip he heard in the court today.

"What can I say, Lord Hou's letter was delivered in advance, so he could ask the emperor's will to copy Ninghou's mansion at night, the wolf is ambitious. Although the two families have fought for several lifetimes, they used to be in court and on the battlefield. At most, there were some quarrels at most, and there has never been such a case of exterminating the family. This time Zi Junhou's behavior is really chilling, and he can't be called the name passed down by the ancestors of the Xiao family. It's just a pity for Madam... ..."

"Brother Xie really thinks that Zi Junhou did all of this? Framed a person like Ninghou is a crime of treason, and the strength of his Xiao family alone is far from that. Who on earth can have such a crime?" The ability to reach the sky?" Li Yong was distressed and couldn't figure it out.People in Ninghou's family are loyal to the emperor and patriotic. If he is said to be treasonous, he will never be convinced; if someone really planned to frame this matter, then who is behind it? This person can not only bribe Zijunhou, but also control the military power of Wanzhou ?

"Brother Li, one Xiao family is not enough, what if another Xiao family is added?" Xie Xuan had such a guess yesterday.

"Another one? Is there any Xiao family in this capital who is more capable than the people from Zijunhoufu?" Li Yong sighed and shook his head, "Oh, there is indeed one, but that person is the father-in-law of the country. Why did Brother Xie suddenly Mention him? But what evidence?"

Xie Xuan waved his hand and said: "Where is the evidence? I just thought that since the emperor's decision to take the military power back to the Xiao family failed, this capital is changing, and people can't see through it..." Xie Xuan went up I didn't have the luck to live until those people tried to usurp the throne. He didn't dare to think about how many people were involved, but he could roughly guess some things. The future emperor didn't care.

"But this, this, the current crown prince is his own grandson, so he has no reason."

"It's just nonsense, Brother Li, don't go into it. Brother Lu's matter is really hard for people to start with. Why did I talk about it because I was so sad and confused. Don't talk about this, this matter is troublesome. Right now, I'm still in the dark. Commoner, it's powerless to investigate this matter, and I can only trouble Brother Li for the past two years."

"What trouble do you say? Lu Tan is the younger brother I have grown up with since I was a child. Lord Hou and his deceased father were friends of eight worshippers. If I don't return their innocence, how can I go to see my father and Uncle Lu? But you, Mingde Square is getting better and better now. Daddy, be careful yourself, if you need help, just speak up."

"Brother, brother, adoptive father, brother Lu..." Xie Xuan brought Li Zhiyuan to Li's residence together. There are two compartments in the study of Li's house. Just now when the two talked, Xie Xuan stayed behind. Li Zhiyuan was outside, and at this moment, Li Zhiyuan pushed open the door of the compartment, held up a notice in one hand, with tears in his eyes, and looked eagerly at Xie Xuan, as if he was looking for an answer or comfort.

"Xiao Yuan, didn't you say you were waiting for your brother outside? Why did you run in by yourself? What is that in your hand?" Xie Xuan was startled by Li Zhiyuan's action of pushing the door and entering. He was afraid that Li Zhiyuan would know what happened. One is that I don't want to make him sad, and the other is that I don't want him to go through this muddy water.Li Zhiyuan is too clean, he deserves to be protected and loved.Xie Xuan walked over, grabbed the letter paper in Li Zhiyuan's hand, almost changed his face after reading two lines.

"That's today's official letter about Ninghou Mansion, I just read it." Li Yongdao, he saw Li Zhiyuan's reaction, and asked tentatively: "He doesn't know yet?"

Xie Xuan didn't have the heart to listen to these, seeing Li Zhiyuan's tears that were about to burst out, his heart ached in a mess. "Xiaoyuan, listen to my brother..."

"It's not true, right? Brother Lu was with me yesterday, isn't it true, right? How could foster father treason, it's fake, right? Brother, tell me, tell me, it's fake. Let's go to the Hou's Mansion, I'm going to the Hou's Mansion to find Brother Lu and Auntie, let's go, brother, let's go quickly, this place is close to the Hou's Mansion, we will take a carriage and we will be there soon." Li Zhiyuan suddenly grabbed Xie Xuan's hand and went out run.

Xie Xuan stood steadily, grabbed Li Zhiyuan with one hand and pulled him back, and wrapped his other hand around Li Zhiyuan's back, holding him firmly in his arms. "Xiaoyuan, be good, be good, calm down first, we can't go to the Hou's mansion, are you obedient?"

Li Zhiyuan didn't listen, and twisted his body to run out, but Xie Xuan held him tightly and couldn't break free.This is the first time that the two of them leaned together in such an intimate manner, and it is also the first time that Xie Xuan treated Li Zhiyuan with such a tough attitude. He hugged him tightly and kept comforting him in his ear.

Li Zhiyuan was crying, shouting "Impossible, impossible." The only response to him was Xie Xuan's "obedient" whispering in his ear.After arguing for a while, Li Zhiyuan's tears soaked Xie Xuan's clothes, and he himself was a little tired from crying, so he leaned against Xie Xuan's arms, his chest was still heaving and sobbing.

Seeing Li Zhiyuan's pitiful appearance, Li Yong could only silently bring some hot tea over.Li Zhiyuan's lips were peeling from crying, Xie Xuan managed to feed him some tea. "Brother Li, I've been bothering you a lot today, so I'll take Xiaoyuan back first."

"It's my fault. I thought you were sticking together every day, and he already knew about it. I ordered the carriage to take you back home."

"Thank you brother."

On the carriage back, Li Zhiyuan sat indifferently, Xie Xuan spoke to him, but he didn't seem to hear him, and didn't respond.Even in his last life, Xie Xuan had never seen Li Zhiyuan with such a dull expression. He was afraid, and his heart was trembling with fear.Xie Xuan held Li Zhiyuan's cold hand, and a thin layer of sweat broke out from the palm of his hand, but it didn't warm him up.Probably it was Li Yong's order, the carriage moved forward slowly, neither fast nor bumpy.After a while, Li Zhiyuan suddenly said that the car was too stuffy, and asked Xie Xuan to open the curtain to breathe.Xie Xuan couldn't wait for Li Zhiyuan to speak, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect, and opened the curtains without stopping.

Li Zhiyuan stared out the window, breathing steadily, Xie Xuan finally felt relieved, lowered his head, and rubbed the space between his brows, last night he couldn't sleep almost all night, today he was a bit tired from running again.When he raised his head again, Li Zhiyuan still looked out of the window without making any sound, but tears fell down like beads, hitting Xie Xuan's heart drop by drop.Li Zhiyuan's outburst came without warning, almost as soon as Xie Xuan's hand touched him, he changed from crying silently to crying loudly.Xie Xuan didn't know how to comfort Li Zhiyuan, he really felt that he was wrong.Before, I only thought that Li Zhiyuan was still young, and he couldn't hide things in his heart, so he couldn't let him know that Lu Tan was still alive; I was also afraid that if he knew that someone had framed Lord Hou, he would set some ambitions for no reason and throw himself into the fire pit, so he planned to temporarily Keep it a secret, think of an excuse later.Unexpectedly, the excuses were not thought through, but let the child know the "truth" in such a cruel way. Li Zhiyuan was already soft-hearted. Even if it was Lin Hengyuan who died last time, it made him sad for a long time, let alone the fact that he died the day before. Lu Tan who was playing with him.

"Brother, Aunt Lu, I, can I go and see her?" Li Zhiyuan chattered, and it took him a long time to say a word.

"Xiaoyuan, do you know what the crime of treason is? It is a heinous crime. Although Lord Hou has left, things continue to happen after his death. The Lu family, those who are closer, travel from one thousand to three thousand miles; those who are farther away The servant girls are servants of men and women, and they will be trapped in the Huan Palace all their lives. At this time of crisis, if you go out, you will undoubtedly set yourself on fire, not only will you harm yourself, but also the entire Li family." Xie Xuan hugged Li Zhiyuan in his arms again. In the middle, patted him on the back lightly, and put the truth in front of him.

"But brother, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, how could Master Hou treason the country? Someone must be framed!"

"Xiaoyuan, my brother doesn't believe it either, but Hou Ye is loyal and courageous, who can believe it? But Xiaoyuan, this matter can't be settled with just a word of disbelief. , the Holy Majesty also believed, and he rebelled against the country."

"Why, brother, even a loyal minister like Marquis Ning has been murdered like this. If there are people who play tricks like this in the court, what is the purpose of us studying hard every day?"

"For the well-being of the people, for the cleanliness of the officialdom, for ordering chaos, and for the prosperity of the world."

"But......"

"No, but, Xiao Yuan, there are two poles of yin and yang. In this world, there are good and there are evil. In the court, there are counselors who manipulate power, and there are righteous people who are dedicated to serving the people. The world is not clear, but the clear is self-cleaning. Brother knows , Lord Hou is your adoptive father, Lu Tan is also a brother and friend to you, my brother didn't want you to accept this overnight, but you have to remember, my brother said that he would always be with you, that is, he will always be with you .”

No matter what, Li Zhiyuan finally calmed down.It's just that Li Zhiyuan is not the only one who can't accept the bad news in Li's mansion. Mrs. Li fainted on the spot when she heard the news. Not only that, she also suffered a serious illness. A year has passed, and the turmoil in Ninghou Mansion has calmed down.
