After everyone left, Hu Xiaotian whispered in Xi Yan's ear: "You actually seduced a man in front of me, what do you think I am?"
Xi Yan's beautiful eyes opened a slit, her eyes were as charming as silk, and she looked at him, with a smile on her pretty face: "What kind of jealousy are you doing?"
"More than just jealous, my lungs are about to explode!" Hu Xiaotian frowned angrily. He realized that he was a master who only allowed the state officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps. It was natural for him to have affairs with so many people.
Xiyan took advantage of him and kissed him gently on the cheek, then lay back on the bed and said softly: "Don't be angry, I'm just acting."
"Is it necessary to sacrifice color in acting?"
Xi Yan said: "I have to say that Xue Daoming is indeed more handsome than you."
Hu Xiaotian rolled his eyes and looked like he was going to faint from anger.
Xi Yan said: "I'm really happy to see you jealous."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Abnormal!"
Xi Yan said: "I'm afraid you're not just jealous. I understand your little Jiujiu. Are you worried that I just took the opportunity to attack Xue Daoming?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled, and then cried loudly without any warning: "Your Highness Princess... you died so miserably..."
Xi Yan was startled by this guy. He was really exaggerating. Did he want everyone in the world to know that he was dead?
Hu Xiaotian said: "Do you want to pretend to be dead all the time? Isn't it too boring to lie here motionless?"
Xi Yan said: "You asked for my remains to be sent back to Dakang. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. If you want to send my body back to Dakang, you must have something like the Ice Soul Calming Bead to ensure that the body will not rot.
As far as I know, there is such a thing in the Dayong Palace, and the Dayong side should not refuse your request."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Are you planning to lie in the coffin all the way back to Dakang?" There is still a problem. If he transports the body back intact, wouldn't he be setting himself up in a cocoon, and when he gets to Dakang, won't he have to face someone who is trying to hide the truth?
question.
Xi Yan said: "I don't want to either, you just follow my instructions and I will have my own way to escape."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "This is not the first time you have pretended to be dead. Are you trying to escape by fire again like last time?"
Xi Yan said: "It's also a good idea. Just burning down the Qi Chen Palace, wouldn't it be too big a deal?"
Hu Xiaotian didn't stay inside for long and went out to make arrangements for Princess Anping's funeral.
Xue Daoming did not leave. He stood in the courtyard and roared: "Where is Huo Shengnan?"
Huo Shengnan bit his lips, walked over slowly, bowed to Xue Daoming and said, "General Huo Shengnan, please see your highness!"
Xue Daoming nodded slowly and said: "Okay! You have done a good job. The court has given you the important task of protecting Princess Anping. Not only did you fail to live up to the court's trust, but you caused the princess to be killed. What crime should you be responsible for?"
Huo Shengnan's pretty face is pale, but his eyes are still calm and stubborn: "Shengnan knows that he has betrayed the divine grace and is unworthy of the great trust of the imperial court, so he is willing to accept any punishment!"
Xue Daoming said: "Come here! Arrest Huo Shengnan and all her men. I will interrogate them myself!"
The sound of neat footsteps came from outside the door. Xue Daoming was obviously well prepared this time.
Huo Shengnan said to the subordinates behind her: "No one is allowed to resist!" She was the first to take off her crown and belt, and took the initiative to cut her hands behind her back.
When Hu Xiaotian went out, he saw the scene of Huo Shengnan and others being arrested. He looked at Huo Shengnan, and Huo Shengnan gave him a forced smile. Hu Xiaotian felt sour in his heart for no reason. Huo Shengnan was obviously innocent in this matter, and she had no idea what happened.
She didn’t know what happened. But judging from her current situation, it must be bad. Dayong must give an explanation and find someone to take the blame. Huo Shengnan is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. Hu Xiaotian is worried about her.
She knew that she was not suitable to intervene in this matter now. With Huo Shengnan's background and connections, even if she was punished, it shouldn't be too severe. Neither her godfather Yu Chichong nor the Empress Dowager Jiang would turn a blind eye.
Xue Daoming led his soldiers to capture Huo Shengnan and his men.
Although Hu Xiaotian deeply sympathized with Huo Shengnan's experience, as an outsider, it was inconvenient for him to interfere in Dayong's internal affairs. Even if he wanted to help Huo Shengnan, it was in vain.
When Liu Changsheng and his son witnessed the scene in front of them, they could only sigh secretly. Liu Changsheng and Marshal Yuchichong had a close relationship. Huo Shengnan was Yuchichong's goddaughter. He could not just sit idly by and ignore this matter and quietly ordered Liu Yucheng to go to the Marshal's Mansion immediately to report it.
this matter.
At the same time, the two father and son also said goodbye to Hu Xiaotian. Princess Anping had passed away, and there was no point in their staying here. The same was true for Xu Baichuan, his mission had been completed.
Just as Hu Xiaotian saw them off, the eldest princess Xue Lingjun had already arrived.
Xue Lingjun came to Qichen Palace this time with the purpose of bringing Hu Xiaotian into the palace. This was something they had agreed on yesterday. Only when they got there did they know that Princess Anping had passed away. Although this incident had long been expected, but when
When the news of Princess Anping's death became a reality, Xue Lingjun also felt sad. In fact, she didn't have much contact with Princess Anping. The reason why she felt so sad in her heart was because she and Princess Anping had the same origin, and they were also born among emperors.
At home, both of them faced the same misfortune. Their husband-in-law died suddenly shortly after their wedding and became a world-famous broom star. However, Long Xiyue was unlucky and was assassinated before her wedding day.
Xue Lingjun naturally felt emotional again. Although being born into the royal family may appear glamorous on the surface, it may not lead to true happiness.
Especially between her and Long Xiyue, they couldn't even control their own destiny, and most of them were just political props in the end.
Xue Lingjun originally thought that Hu Xiaotian would refuse to enter the palace, but he did not expect that Hu Xiaotian would get on her carriage without saying anything, and said sadly: "I must go and explain these things clearly to the emperor in person."
Xue Lingjun nodded. Seeing the sad expression on Hu Xiaotian's face, he knew that he was definitely in a bad mood at this time. He comforted him softly and said: "Brother Xiaotian, since things have happened, you don't have to be too sad. Princess Anping
My funeral affairs are still waiting for you to deal with."
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Sister Jun, don't worry, Xiaotian knows what to do, but my princess is so innocent, why did she suffer such a bad fate?"
Xue Lingjun remained silent. In fact, she vaguely guessed the possible reason. She whispered: "Since the princess was killed in Yongdu, we will definitely investigate to the end and find the real culprit as soon as possible to comfort the princess's spirit in heaven."
Hu Xiaotian said: "My princess is gentle and kind-hearted, and has never offended anyone. Seeing that the wedding is about to happen, but she has suffered such bad luck. I wonder who doesn't want to see the princess and the prince get married?"
Xue Lingjun said: "Brother Xiaotian, I would like to express my condolences and accept the change. Don't believe the rumors from the outside world."
Hu Xiaotian said: "At this point, it doesn't matter what others say. The princess can't be resurrected anyway."
Before Hu Xiaotian arrived at the palace, Xue Shengkang had already received the news of the death of Princess Anping. The Yong Emperor also frowned because of this incident. Shi Kuan reported to him the current situation he had, and then stood aside with his head bowed, waiting.
Following his orders.
Xue Shengkang pondered for a long time and sighed: "No matter what, they were assassinated in Yongdu, and I am sorry for them." Princess Anping was his future daughter-in-law, but she was actually assassinated right at the foot of the imperial city, under her nose.
He was assassinated, and his face was naturally not good-looking. Although with today's national power, there was no need to fear Dakang's revenge, but in principle he obviously owed him a debt.
Shi Kuan cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I will definitely investigate this matter."
Xue Shengkang slowly shook his head and said: "Long Xiyue is already dead, how can we check? Even if we check clearly, the result may not be what I want to see."
Shi Kuan was startled in his heart, and immediately understood what the emperor meant. The emperor obviously guessed that this matter was probably related to the power dispute within the royal family. If it was finally proved that this matter was related to someone in the royal family, then the emperor
How should we deal with it? He couldn't help but think of the rumors that had recently spread, saying that Concubine Shu and her son were very dissatisfied with this marriage, and that Concubine Shu had done a lot of things against the Dakang mission before. Could this be the case?
Is it related to them?
Shi Kuan whispered: "Concubine Shu has already visited Princess Anping today."
Xue Shengkang nodded and said, "It's time to go."
At this time, an announcement came from outside, but it was the eldest princess Xue Lingjun and Hu Xiaotian who arrived together.
Xue Shengkang let them in. Hu Xiaotian came to Xue Shengkang, knelt down with tears in his eyes and said: "I would like to report to His Majesty the Emperor Dayong that my princess has been killed... Please make the decision for me... Give our princess justice and give us back."
Dakang is fair..." At this point, he was already crying.
Xue Shengkang pursed his lips and said: "Hu Xiaotian, you should get up first. I have heard the bad news and am very sad. Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice in this matter."
Hu Xiaotian then wiped away his tears and stood up.
Xue Shengkang had someone move a stool to him, which was already a great courtesy to Hu Xiaotian, not only because he was Dakang's ex-marriage history, but also because he had saved Xue Shengkang and cured Xue Shengkang's emergency.
Xue Shengkang said: "Hu Xiaotian, people cannot be resurrected. It is useless for us to be sad. The most important thing at the moment is to handle the princess's funeral properly. I am going to choose a quiet and beautiful Feng Shui treasure land in Yongdu for Anping."
The princess built the tomb to express the sorrow of my great Yong family." He said this as a kind of compensation.
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but Her Royal Highness has the greatest hope before her death, which is to be able to return to her hometown for burial. Xiaotian must respect the princess's last wish."
Xue Shengkang secretly thought that it is human nature for fallen leaves to return to their roots. It would be a good choice to transport Princess Anping's body back to Dakang for burial. So he nodded and said: "Since the princess has such a last wish, I can only respect her."
It’s my wish.”
