When everyone thought that Wang Xian was doomed and would be in constant panic, there was peace in Uncle Zhongyong's house. Gu Xiaolian's condition improved, so Wang Xian was deeply encouraged and devoted all his energy to helping her regain consciousness.
At work.
As for the noise from the outside world, Wang Xian doesn't care. Because he knows very well that whether the officials in the court are like snow or asking for orders, it is of no use. What can really determine his life or death is not public opinion at all, not even the emperor.
thoughts, but my own strength...
When the eunuch who delivered the order came to the mansion and informed him to attend the court meeting the next day, Wang Xian was combing Gu Xiaolian's hair. The jade comb smoothly passed through the waterfall of hair without any obstruction.
The eunuch who delivered the order saw Wang Xian sitting in the flower pavilion combing the hair of an expressionless beauty. He had no intention of getting up, so he could only remind him: "Uncle, please accept the order."
"Yes." Wang Xian just nodded and put a flower on Gu Xiaolian's head without even looking at the eunuch.
"This is the Holy Spirit's decree." The eunuch who delivered the order was a little confused.
"Just say it, I'm listening." Wang Xian still said calmly.
"This..." The eunuch who delivered the order was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a madman who despised the emperor. It took him a while to remember that the emperor's authority must be maintained, and he said inwardly: "Uncle Zhongyong, you are going too far! You are so disrespectful to the emperor.
The imperial edict is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"So what, this is the best." Wang Xian carefully tied up Gu Xiaolian's hair. Seeing that there were still a few hair strands leaking out, he couldn't help but shook his head in frustration, and took another step to shake.
, spread out that hair and comb it again.
The eunuch who delivered the order was left hanging there. He had never encountered such a situation before, and he was dumbfounded. Dai Hua on the side pushed the eunuch: "If you have something to say, tell me quickly, if nothing happens, get out!"
The eunuch who delivered the order turned pale for a while, but finally said in a low voice: "There is an order, and Uncle Zhongyong must attend the meeting tomorrow morning."
"I know." Wang Xian nodded and continued to concentrate on combing Gu Xiaolian's hair.
"Hey!" The eunuch who delivered the order stomped away. When he returned, he naturally complained to his superior about Wang Xian's situation. But when his superior heard this, he just said that the guy would be finished tomorrow and let him go on his rampage... He actually let this happen
The matter is suppressed...
Yin time the next day.
Dai Hua and others didn't sleep a wink all night. They got up just after midnight and gathered outside Wang Xian's room.
Wang Xian also stayed up all night, sitting in front of Gu Xiaolian's bed. I don't know if Gu Xiaolian had a feeling in her heart. She was not peaceful the whole night. Wang Xian had to hold her hand to keep her expression.
Calm down. As long as Wang Xianxu takes away his hand for a moment, Gu Xiaolian will look in pain and his whole body will tremble slightly...
Wang Xian didn't know whether Gu Xiaolian's current situation was good or bad, so he could only hold her hand tightly, gently stroke her hair, and hum a tuneless tune. After a while, Gu Xiaolian calmed down.
…
Under the lamp, Wang Xian looked at Gu Xiaolian's face, recalling his ups and downs over the years, and missing his wife, children, and parents far away in Jinan and Nanjing. His heart was surging and he couldn't help himself...Unknowingly, it was Yinshi, and he listened.
He came out of his thoughts when he saw the movement of his subordinates outside. He pressed a deep kiss on Gu Xiaolian's forehead and then wanted to take his hand out and stand up.
But he found that his right hand was held by Gu Xiaolian...
Wang Xian was stunned, and immediately said with wet eyes: "Xiao Lian, are you worried that I won't come back?"
Naturally, Gu Xiaolian would not answer.
"Don't worry, I promise you, I will be back with you before noon." Wang Xian said softly.
Gu Xiaolian's hand still didn't let go.
"Your officials always keep their word, you have to have confidence in me." Wang Xian could only use a little force, took out his fingers one by one, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I will definitely come back.
,must……"
After saying that, Wang Xian stood up resolutely, turned around and walked out of the room.
Behind him, there was a clear tear on Gu Xiaolian's cheek, crystal clear...
Wang Xian opened the door and went out. Dai Hua and others outside the door stood in a circle with solemn expressions. Seeing him coming out, everyone whispered together: "Sir..."
"They don't even sleep." Wang Xian looked at them and chuckled, "What are you doing here?"
"I'll see you off soon, sir." Everyone whispered.
"I'm going to court, not to the execution ground, what can I give you?" Wang Xian joked, but he knew in his heart that there was no difference between going to the execution ground and going to the execution ground. He walked through the crowd and took pictures of each one.
Brother's shoulder, and then entered the main room.
In the main room, the guards had already prepared face wash and a brand-new countenance uniform.
Wang Xian sat down in front of the basin, took the towel from Dai Hua, soaked it in warm water, and washed his face carefully. Then he sat up straight and asked Dai Hua to comb his hair and put on his black gauze hat.
.
Dai Hua helped Wang Xian put on his clothes and asked in a low voice: "My lord, is there anything else you haven't told me yet?"
In front of Dai Hua, Wang Xian did not pretend to be confident and sighed: "Xiao Lian's condition seemed to have improved a lot last night. If I can't come back today, you have to send her to Madam.
With Madam taking care of her, she should be able to recover one day." He then sighed and said, "Madam is not in good health either, so I feel really sad to have a patient worry about the patient."
"Yes." Dai Hua nodded and didn't say any nonsense about "My lord must be safe and sound".
"If I can't come back, the whole family will have to live in exile in the future. Please take care of the love between our brothers and make sure they are settled before doing anything else." Wang Xian looked at Dai Hua and said,
Said softly.
"Don't worry, sir. This life of this subordinate belongs to you. No matter what happens in the future, I will protect your family to the end." Dai Hua solemnly promised.
"Thank you, brother." Wang Xian nodded. He knew that since Dai Hua agreed, he would definitely keep his word.
After finishing dressing up, Wang Xian went out, got into the sedan chair, and headed outside the Xiyuan Gate under the stars and the moon...
In Wanzhuyuan, Jinan Prefecture, Lin Qing'er and Ling Xiao also stayed up all night. Although they were thousands of miles apart, Lin Qing'er still clearly realized that today's court meeting would be the moment that decided Wang Xian's fate...
The two girls sat by the bed, looking at Wang You who was sleeping soundly. Ling Xiao sighed softly: "It's better to be such a big child. You don't know anything, so you don't have to worry about anything..."
"Yes." Lin Qing'er coughed twice and whispered: "Sister, if the official can't pass today's test, you should go back to Wudang Mountain and don't accompany us to the end of the world..."
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Lingxiao raised his eyebrows and said resolutely: "No matter where the end of the world is, I will protect you!" As he spoke, his eyes showed a trace of tenderness and he said: "This is what I promised him, that's all.
It must be done..."
"Hey, sister, why are you doing this?" Lin Qing'er held Lingxiao's hand and sighed softly: "You still have a long way to go, and the officials certainly don't want to harm you for the rest of your life..."
"Sister, this is the path I chose. I can't blame him..." Ling Xiao said softly but firmly, and said angrily: "But that guy is indeed not a thing. Is it okay to leave a whole family and go to the capital for adventure?"
Is revenge that important?”
"Men have things they must do, and women cannot understand or stop them." Lin Qing'er smiled and said: "And I believe that the official will not ignore us. He went to the capital for us...
…”
"Sister, just always face him!" Lingxiao pouted.
"Aren't you the same?" Lin Qing'er smiled and glanced at Ling Xiao, gently held her hand and said softly: "Don't worry, he will definitely come back."
"Yeah." Lingxiao nodded, she thought so too...
The one who stayed up all night was the emperor in Xiyuan.
After taking Taoist Hu's elixir, Zhu Di slept significantly less. He only needed two hours of light sleep every day to stay energetic all day long. In Zhu Di's view, this was naturally a miraculous effect of the elixir, which meant that he had regained his strength.
Back to youth! Zhu Di was so satisfied with this that he completely ignored his suddenly accelerated heartbeat, occasional dizziness, and red bloodshot eyes...
Because his previous health condition was so bad, Zhu Di believed that these minor discomforts were just the remnants of the previous illness, and they would all disappear as he continued to take the elixir...
Last night, Zhu Di went to bed unexpectedly and couldn't sleep for a long time. His mind was filled with the scene of how Wang Xian was sent to the eighteenth level of hell in the court today. When he turned ugly on the bed, Zhu Di finally couldn't help but sit up from the dragon bed.
Huang Yan, who was on duty, was immediately alerted and came in to see the emperor sitting there in a trance.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Huang Yan asked softly.
"I can't sleep." Zhu Di replied./p>
"Old slave, please massage the Emperor's feet, and maybe he will fall asleep." Huang Yan said hurriedly and attentively.
"No need, except for ***, I always have trouble sleeping." Zhu Di shook his head.
Seeing that the emperor was about to get out of bed, Huang Yan quickly put on his shoes and helped Zhu Di stand up.
Supporting Huang Huan, Zhu Di walked to the table outside. On the table was an edict drafted by the cabinet yesterday. The content on it was that Wang Xian was sent to prison for questioning!
Under the light, Zhu Di read the edict again, shook his head and said: "The tone is too light, it is too easy for him!" 'He' naturally refers to Wang Xian. After speaking, the emperor snorted coldly and said: "Everyone
If you are still secretive at this time, what are Yang Shiqi and the others worried about?"
"Your Majesty, do you want the bachelor on duty to rewrite this decree?" Huang Yan asked.
"It's no use to them," Zhu Di snorted, "I told you to write it."
"Yes." Huang Yan responded, quickly picked up the pen, hung his wrist on a blank edict, and then looked at the emperor with bated breath.
"Wang Xian has always behaved wildly and rebelliously. In the past, he intervened in the dispute between the crown prince and alienated my own flesh and blood, which is a very worthy death. However, God has the virtue of a good life, and I remember that he has long-standing talents. I hope that he will change his ways and serve the country.
I made an effort to order the governor to be a royal guard, to confer a title of earl, and to confide in his heart. However, in the past three years, his behavior has become more and more perverse, and he has repeatedly acted illegally, cunningly and evilly, arrogantly and rebelliously, and harboring evil intentions. This has become increasingly worse! The ministers have impeached and discussed, and many uncles have accumulated. I
Thought of its small merits, I tolerated it for a long time, but unexpectedly, this animal was so lawless that it dared to join forces with others and colluded with the White Lotus demon to murder my descendants, bring trouble to my country, harm my people, and covet the ancestral artifact! This animal will be exterminated in the sky, and it will be exterminated.
For me, you must not stay in the heaven and earth, as it will be a disgrace to our dynasty! Now I will put him to death in Lingchi, and punish the nine tribes to warn evil and serve as a warning for all generations!"
