The emperor's brows spread a little, and he smiled and said: "That's fine, this way I can let Tianxiang die and choose another wife for General Tong. That girl is really too unruly, and I really can't do anything with her.
At that time, I really couldn’t live without her.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
It was difficult to keep Tong Hao's death a secret for too long. On the second day, there was vague news in the prison that Tong Hao's life was in danger due to physical reasons. By the afternoon, the news was confirmed that Tong Hao was dead.
The first person to get the news was Tong Xiaoye, who was resting at the time.
Xuan Jinmo was reading a book aside, and the two of them didn't talk. He came back very late last night, and it was only when Tong Xiaoye woke up that he heard Xuan Jinmo talking to Junzi outside, asking Junzi if she had gotten up, and then walking
He left without a sound, but later he heard Junzi come in and say that the master said he was busy with something and would come back later.
But after noon, Xuan Jinmo came back from outside. His face was not very good. He ordered someone to call Tong Xiaoye to the meeting hall, but he didn't talk to her. He just kept reading some documents. Tong Xiaoye didn't say much and asked for help.
After reading a book for a while, I leaned back on the chair and took a nap.
"Master." The voice of a confidant interrupted Tong Xiaoye's rest. The voice sounded solemn and hesitant, "There is news from the prison that Tong Hao died due to excessive injuries."
The prison is not a place that Xuan Jinmo is directly in charge of. Although there is a connection, Xuan Jinmo rarely interferes with places that have little to do with him, especially in a prison where people are mixed.
Tong Xiaoye thought she was having a nightmare, there was a dull pain in her chest, and she opened her eyes.
"When did it happen?" Xuan Jinmo's voice was very real. It sounded cold and business-like, without even the smallest hint of surprise or doubt, as if the person who died was not someone who was related to him. "How to deal with it?"
of?"
"An hour ago, because of the suddenness of the incident, I didn't dare to announce it to the public. On the one hand, I was worried that it would irritate General Tong, who was in poor health. On the other hand, Tong Hao is still a suspect in a life-threatening lawsuit because Tong Hao suffered from injuries before his death.
He was seriously injured. When he died, his body was severely swollen and his appearance was almost unrecognizable. Therefore, we have decided to burn it on the spot." The confidant's voice was also very rigid, without any ups and downs, as if it was just a trivial matter.
Xuan Jin was silent for a while.
But Tong Xiaoye sat upright from the chair and stared blankly at the confidant who was talking, Tong Hao is dead?! She turned her eyes to Xuan Jinmo, who had a cold face. Is this one of his ways of revenge?
The Tong family lost the person they care about, because the Tong family made him lose his mother, so he would make the Tong family lose the person the Tong family cares about?!
"How could Tong Hao be like this?" Tong Xiaoye finally asked such a sentence.
"It's easy to die in prison." Xuan Jinmo said calmly and indifferently, "Go down first and tell the messenger that in half an hour, I will take my wife to collect Tong Hao's ashes. Mr. Tong
The general is currently unwell, so please do not notify General Tong’s Mansion of this matter for the time being."
"Yes." The confidant responded without saying much, turned around and left.
"You said you would save him." Tong Xiaoye was still a little confused in her mind. She didn't know how to face the news. Tong Hao was dead?! Even though he did do something wrong, she really heard that he
The news of his death still filled him with fear.
"The situation in the prison is complicated. Although a prison doctor was arranged to diagnose and treat him, his injuries were too serious at the time. Your brother also knew that his condition was not good when he went to see him, so he refused to accept Princess Tianxiang's divorce.
Yan's conditions for rescuing Tong Hao." Xuan Jinmo said calmly, seemingly not seeing the grief-stricken expression on Tong Xiaoye's face.
"You can obviously save him!" Tong Xiaoye said sadly, "If Xuan Jinyan doesn't want to give birth, Tong Hao is already my brother's only bloodline."
"He also killed the brother and sister, which is equivalent to making the incense of that family disappear." Xuan Jinmo sighed softly, "I promised to save him, and I am doing my best."
Tong Xiaoye stared at Xuan Jinmo for a long time and then said: "You have been seeking revenge, revenge without bloodshed! Tong Hao is wrong, but if it were not for you, he would not have this result today, -"
"Maybe." Xuan Jinmo said indifferently, "Tong Huaan can be reborn. There are so many women in the world, and there are also many women who are willing to give birth to him. Even if Jinyan doesn't want to give birth or can't give birth, it won't really happen.
Let Tong Huaan cut off the incense! Now is not the time to be angry. If you move faster, you may still be able to see Tong Hao's body. If you wait a little longer, it may just be a jar of ashes mixed with dust."
Tong Xiaoye wanted to speak, but couldn't utter a single word and was dumbfounded.
She got on the prepared carriage. The carriage was large and had enough space. You could even lie down and rest. Tong Xiaoye leaned in a corner with a pale face. Although there was a warm and soft quilt behind her, she was still very cold.
The door was specially equipped with a baffle to prevent the cold wind from blowing in, but there was still cold wind blowing in from the gap in the carriage's small window.
"You can take a rest." Xuan Jinmo said indifferently, watching the slaves arrange some items in the carriage, which was pulled by two tall horses and followed by his followers. "I am going to the prison to collect Tong Hao's ashes.
Come out and send him to General Tong's Mansion in person."
Tong Xiaoye hugged the quilt and said nothing.
"Your grandfather's health is not good. I plan to send the ashes to your parents or your brother at the border. After all, he is also a great-grandson of the Tong family. Although he is guilty, according to the regulations of the Wumeng Kingdom, he cannot be buried in the ancestral grave in Kyoto within three years.
"Well, it happens that the Tong family's ancestral grave is in Kyoto, so you have to think about it, as Aunt Tong Hao, whether it would be more appropriate to send the ashes to your parents or your brother." Xuan Jinmo's tone was tense.
Extremely indifferent and calm, without ups and downs.
Tong Xiaoye took a long breath and said dreamily: "Xuan Jinmo, you are cold-hearted or you have seen too much. Why are these words so ruthless and without any ups and downs? It seems that they are nothing more than trivial matters like sunrise and sunset."
?A living life has disappeared, but you are so calm!"
"Things in the world are just like this. He caused two innocent lives to die in an accident. How can God allow injustice? If you make a mistake, you must pay for it." Xuan Jinmo said in a calm tone, "I do have thoughts of revenge, so see
He was not sad when he died, he just found it boring."
Tong Xiaoye shut her mouth, she thought, he was trying to become the person she hated.
After a while, Tong Xiaoye suddenly said: "Next, who of the Tong family do you want to die?"
Xuan Jinmo said expressionlessly: "I don't know if it's not God's will!"
