Chapter 116: Gentle and kind

"Old deceased to see His Royal Highness Prince, Fushou County Lord." Xie Yao dare not offend the most favored prince, suppressed all emotions in his heart, salute the prince.
"Xie Lao doesn't need to be more polite." The Prince's tone was weak, and his attitude was even colder. He just wrote "I don't want to care about you" on his face: "Xie Lao came to the capital a thousand miles away, what's the matter?"
Lord Xie Yao looked a little embarrassed, the more exquisite the person, the more roundabout the speech. The prince suddenly opened the door and opened the subject directly, but instead he was a little bit uncomfortable.
Seeing Lord Xie Yao not speaking, the prince nodded suddenly: "So Xie always came to Beijing to play?"
"Play well." Hua Liuli smiled innocently. "In these years, under the administration of His Majesty, we have lived and worked in peace and prosperity. The people's lives have also been better. Xie hasn't come to Beijing for many years. Very interesting."
Listening to the prince and his fiancee, he described his trip as a trip to the mountains and waters, and Lord Xie Yao had to explain: "His Royal Highness, the deceased entered Beijing this time, in addition to watching the prosperous world under His Majesty's governance, there is one more thing Seeking each other."
"Oh, Your Royal Highness." Hua Liuli suddenly covered her chest. "Sister-in-law's chest hurts."
"Lonely to send you back to rest, is it an old disease?" The prince held Hualili in distress, and said to Lord Xie Yao, "The other day, I met an assassin outside the palace. The Lord Fushou was seriously injured in order to protect the orphan. The old disease is also committed. Xie Lao please feel free to send the governor back to Shoukang Palace for rest."
Meet an assassin outside the palace...
Xie Yao's face was even more awkward. Of course he knew what the prince said. As the elder of the Xie family, he looked very ugly.
"Congratulations to the prince."
"Xie Lao, His Royal Highness Prince and Fushou County Master have a very good relationship. If there is any neglect, please don't worry about it." Zhao Sancai sent the Prince and Fushou County Master away, turning to Xie Yao Lord, "You are I don’t know. On the day when His Royal Highness was assassinated, when the Imperial Guard found the Crown Prince and Fushou County Master under the mountain, the Fushou County Master was covered in blood, and he could not even save his life. The Queen Mother’s mother was in tears.
"The old age teaches the younger generations that there is no way to make His Royal Highness Prince and Fushou County Master suffer." Apart from thanking the sins, what can Lord Xie Yao say?
Can't say anything.
He can't always say that although Xie Yao's surname is Xie, he also has half of his royal blood?
If he really dared to say this, maybe the family would not be under house arrest, because Emperor Changlong would directly push him to Caishikou for beheading.
Self-knowledge is unreasonable, except that Xie Yao couldn't say anything but a flattering smile to an unsightly old eunuch.
Zhao Sancai didn't seem to see his ugliness and smiled: "Xie Lao, please go here."
Lord Xie Yao soon discovered that the Royal Garden was much larger than he remembered. He walked gasping, but he dared not let anyone help him.
"Your Majesty should be heading down." Zhao Sancai flicked the dust, and Xiao Xiaorou said with a smile: "Xie Lao, please follow the old slave."
"Thank you." Lord Xie Yao rallied and returned to Chenyang Palace with Zhao Sancai.
"Grandpa Zhao." The guarding the gate saw Zhao Sancai coming back and said in a small voice, "Your Majesty is in the main hall to discuss with Cao Shangshu and General Hua."
"That's really a coincidence." Zhao Sancai said to Lord Xie Yao, "Xie Lao, the old slave takes you to the side hall to rest for a while. Recently, the Ministry of Rites is busy, and Mr. Cao of the Ministry of Home Affairs is responsible for Enke. Discuss for a while."
"The father-in-law is polite." Xie Yao suddenly remembered that year, when he and Du Songwen sat on equal footing, when he entered the palace to see His Majesty, he would not wait outside for so long.
Lord Xie Yao became more and more uneasy, and always felt that this trip would not be too smooth.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Lord Xie Yao was finally summoned by Emperor Changlong. He stepped into the main hall gate and walked forward with a respectful and respectful gift.
"Xie Lao, please sit down." Emperor Changlong asked him to lift Xie Yao from the ground, and gave him a seat: "I haven't seen him in many years, can Xie Lao's body be tough?"
"Bless Your Majesty, everything is okay." Lord Xie Yao sat down on the chair carefully, observing the face of Emperor Changlong.
Not seen for decades, Emperor Changlong looked calm and mature, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
Emperor Changlong didn't ask Ye Xie Yao's intentions, he kindly chatted with him about some family routines, as if he was caring about an ordinary old man.
Lord Xie Yao was anxious, but he didn't show any emotion. He had no choice but to say directly: "Your Majesty, old and shameless, I want to ask you for a grace."
"Oh?" The smile on Emperor Changlong's face faded away, staring at Lord Xie Yao, making people see no anger.
Lord Xie Yao's scalp is a bit numb, but for the sake of Xie's family, he can only be scalp pleading: "Your Majesty, the horse is seriously ill, and the old man wants to take the horse back to the south to recuperate."
"Xie Lao is assured that Xie Ma is my sister-in-law and I will send someone to take care of him."
"Old deceased has no other intention, but the condition of the concubine is complicated, and it is more conducive to his condition to take back to the south for rest." Lord Xie Yao saw that Changlong was unwilling to agree to this request, and he cried out with an old face. Son, treat the horse as a parent. Learn that he is suffering from hysteria, and the old is afraid that he has not slept all night. He rushed to the capital overnight, hoping that he would be safe."
Lord Xie Yao is already old, so sad and weeping, especially pitiful.
"What's wrong with this?" The prince strode into the main hall and glanced at Xie Yao with tears in his sleeves, saluting Chaolonglong Emperor: "Father Emperor, why did Xie Lao cry, why are you embarrassing him?"
"Your Majesty Renhou, how could it be embarrassing to die, Your Highness your misunderstanding." Xie Yao quickly explained.
"Since the father and emperor have never treated you harshly, what are you sad to do?" The prince walked to the chair and sat down, taking a sip of tea from Zhao Sancai: "I don't know, I thought the father and emperor bullied the old man, which made people misunderstand But it’s not good."
Xie Yao, who is wiping tears: ...
Does this mean not crying?
He removed his sleeves and looked at Emperor Changlong, who didn't have much expression, and then looked at the prince, who was quite rampant, and wiped his tears to put his sleeves down: "It's old and dysfunctional."
"Xie Lao cried so sad because he learned that Xie's descendants assassinated orphans and entered the Beijing guilt with guilt?" Prince Mo, holding the bracelet given to him by Hua Liuli, slowly said: "Although Xie Yao's assassination is full, It is a serious crime to copy, but the father and emperor have always been soft-hearted and do not want to implicate others. So please rest assured that Xie Lao will not be held accountable for the entire Xie family."
Xie Yao's face changed slightly, what does the Prince mean by this threat to him?
The Xie family has inherited it for centuries in the South, and it has high prestige in the hearts of the students. Does your majesty and the prince really dare to move the entire Xie family? Lord Xie Yao didn't believe that Emperor Changlong would be so impulsive, but he couldn't see the temperament of this prince.
At first sight, he only felt that the prince was superficial and beautiful, but he was sitting here now, but he felt the pressure.
"Xie Yao followed the princess to live in Jingzhong all the year round. Our elders are not strict with her. This is our fault..."
"Wait." The prince slightly twiddled the movement of the bracelet and frowned, "Xie Lao's words mean, Xie Yao and Princess Leyang sometimes live in Beijing Middle School. She made a mistake and it is related to our capital. ?"
"Old decay has no intention."
"Looking at you clearly means that." The prince waved his hand. "Forget it, lonely too lazy to argue with you, lest it be passed out, and said lonely bullying the elderly."
Lord Xie Yao swallowed his heart in silence.
"As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. Xie is very old, so he should take good care of his health. Don't worry too much about other things." The prince stood up. "As for Xie Ruma returning to the south to recuperate, you don't have to mention it anymore. Won't agree."
"Your Majesty..." Lord Xie Yao did not expect the prince to be so arrogant in front of Emperor Changlong. He turned his head to look at Emperor Changlong, hoping that he would reprimand the prince.
Not only did Emperor Changlong not be angry, but instead he smiled helplessly.
"This child has been spoiled by me since I was young, and has suffered such a great deal of grievance." Emperor Changlong sighed, "Xie Lao, you are the elder of Xie Fangma, and I am the elder of the Crown Prince. You love Xie Fangma, why don't I feel distressed? The case of the assassination of the prince is of great importance. Before the matter is clear, no one from Princess Leyang’s palace is allowed to leave the capital."
"As for thanking you..." Emperor Changlong smiled lightly. "You haven't been to Beijing for many years, just stay here for a while."
Xie Yaoye: "..."
What does this mean, he not only failed to take the owner back, but also posted himself upside down?
"Xie Lao, Your Majesty still has a performance without review. The old slave sends you back, please." Zhao Sancai stepped forward and asked Xie Yao to go out.
Lord Xie Yao barely maintained the smile on his face, and when he stepped out the threshold, he stumbled under his feet and nearly fell to the ground.
"Xie Lao, you need to pay more attention to your feet." Zhao Sancai smiled and held Xie Yao's hand, "If there is a long and a short, how can the old slave explain to the emperor?"
Lord Xie Yao was so bitter in his heart, he never thought that Emperor Changlong now became so difficult to speak. Do you really want the head of the family to live in the capital and disconnect from the outside world.
No, we must find a way to rescue the head of the house, otherwise all these decades of planning will be in vain.
The weather was getting hotter. Princess Leyang was locked in the princess's palace. No news could be heard. The only thing that assured her was that her son was safely sent to the palace. No matter what happened, he could save his life.
The doctors in the palace came every day, but the hysteria of the horses did not get any better, but became more and more serious. The maid and the little girl around were persuading her to find a way to send their horses back to the south to recuperate.
But she can't even go out now, what else can she do?
When she couldn't sleep at night, she got up and ventilated in the yard and heard the two girls talking secretly.
"The princess was so good to Her Royal Highness. Unexpectedly, after the pony got hysteria, the princess even watched Her Majesty circle the entire princess palace."
"Don't talk nonsense, this is His Majesty's order, what can your Highness Princess do?"
"Anyway, the princess is also your majesty's sister. If it doesn't work reasonably, then you cry twice, hang yourself three times, and your majesty and the prince can't just watch the princess like this."
"What kind of bad idea did you come up with, in case it was passed, wouldn't it make people see the royal joke?"
"Even if someone is watching the joke, as long as you can keep the concubine..."
The voices of the two maidservants gradually disappeared, and Princess Leyang stood in a stunned courtyard, unable to calm down for a long time.
Will the emperor really care about face and let her take the horse away from Beijing?
After the news of Chao Enga Kainko spread, some students from good families packed up their bags and started to rush into the capital, in order to adapt to the climate and diet of the capital in advance, and there would be no chaos in the examination room.
Students who are closer to Beijing have already arrived in Beijing in twos and threes.
Students such as Wang Qi also came to Beijing in advance, but because the Xie family deliberately concealed the news, when they came from their hometown, they were a few days later than other students.
The house leak coincided with the rain at night. Before they arrived in Beijing, their companions were infected with the wind and cold. In order to help their companions, they almost spent all their money.
Along the way, everyone was so hungry that they stuck their backs to their backs. In order to save money, they sometimes stayed in broken temples or took a ride by the villagers.
When they finally arrived at the capital of Beijing, they were so hungry that they couldn't even walk, and they kept pouring water to fill their hunger at night.
"Everyone will continue to support us, and we will have one day to go to the capital." Wang Qi and his companions sat around the fire and whispered, "It's impossible, we'll go to the farmhouse and borrow some rice grains. , Write down the invoice, and wait for the money to be returned to the house, and then double them back to them."
They have been studying since childhood, when did they feel sorry for money?
"I blame me for not being good. If it weren't for you, how could it make you suffer along the way." Yang Wen choked, "I don't know how to repay you."
"What's not to repay, we have been in contact for so many years, and it's a bit hard to count. The most important thing is that people are fine." Wang Qi and several other students comforted Yang Wen and rubbed his hungry belly.
Early the next morning, they continued on their way. Halfway through, Yang Wen, the weakest body, fainted.
"Brother Yang, brother Yang?"
"What happened?" A delicate carriage stopped by the road, and a soft voice from the woman came.
Wang Qi and others were very happy and got up and saluted the owner in the carriage, explaining their recent experience.
"So you are candidates from the south?" The carriage curtain moved, and a white wrist gently lifted the curtain.
The girl in the car had bright eyes and bright teeth, but her face was pale and abnormal, and she looked like she was sick.
Wang Qi and others stared at the girl embarrassedly, and quickly lowered their heads, saying: "Xiaosheng and the others came from the south."
The girl told the people to carry Yang Wen, who passed out, into a car behind him, and then looked at them in confusion: "I heard that Southern students have always attached importance to the imperial examinations. Why do you come later than students from other states?"
The students could not tell the bitterness in their hearts, so they had to delay on the road because of Yang Wen's illness.
"You are all good friends who are affectionate and righteous. When a friend is sick, he would rather be hungry and see a doctor for him." The girl slowly walked off the carriage with the help of his maid, "There are many people in the world, but like you Sympathetic students are worthy of admiration."
She put a silver purse in Wang Qi's hands: "The court of Dajin needs talents like you. These silver twos are my heart. I hope you will win the toad palace and the title of the gold list."
"No, no." Wang Qi and other students were red-faced and embarrassed to accept the purse: "Thank you girl for your kindness, you are willing to send us into the city, we are very grateful, how can you get your money?"
"These silvers are because I admire you as a person. I don't want to let you like a gentleman, bury your talents with silver money." The girl coughed a few times and put the purse in Wang Qi's hands: "I believe, a gentleman like you In the future, entering the dynasty as an official is also a good official for the people. I give you silver for the people."
"Thank you girl." Wang Qihong put away the silver purse in his eyes, and together with several other students, gave the girl a deep blow: "If there is really a chance to become a monarch in the future, I will never forget what the girl said today."
"Cough cough cough." The girl coughed a few times and looked very weak. "It's not too early. Several boys invited the carriage to enter Beijing with the little girl."
"Sovereign, you are not well. You were seriously injured a while ago. Be careful not to blow the wind." A maid came forward and fed a pill to the girl.
The girl smiled apologetically at the students, covered her face with her sleeves, and took the medicine.
Sovereign, infirm, seriously injured?
Students such as Wang Qi couldn't help thinking of the rumors spreading vigorously in the south before coming to Beijing.
Although reason tells them that there are not so many coincidences in the world, they still can't help guessing, is this good-hearted girl who inadvertently helped them, will he be the Lord of Fushou County?
Worthy of being the daughters of General Hua and General Wei, they are so kind, and they hope that they will become officials and seek welfare for the people in the future.
Such a gentle and kind woman, how could anyone have the heart to hurt her?
They hardly dared to imagine what this weak and kind girl looked like with blood all over her body.
The author has something to say: Xie Family: Southern students are my strong backing.
Southern students: Master Fushou is so kind, so delicate, so gentle.
