Princess Jian stared at Hongyu closely. Hongyu wanted to avoid Princess Jian's scrutiny, but she clenched her fists and braced herself to hold on.
"Hongyu, I brought you here from my parents' home. How do I treat you?" Princess Jian said, her heart beating wildly. "I left Aunt Rong in your care. I never expected that..."
"This slave is unjustly accused," Hongyu kowtowed on the ground, "I have always tried my best, and the princess believes in me."
"Then go in," Princess Jian pointed to the house, "Follow the master of Shuntian Mansion and go into the house to see Rong Xiao. If you haven't done it before, the Yamen will not wrongly accuse you, and it will give you a chance to prove your innocence."
Hongyu lay on the ground for a long time, and finally raised her head: "Slave...Slave, go..." I'm afraid it's not up to her whether to go away from the current situation.
"Wait a minute."
Just as Hongyu stood up, she heard a clear voice saying.
"Don't be anxious," Xu Qinghuan looked at Princess Jian, "Princess, can you invite the guest in your house to come up? Does he know Aunt Rong and Hongyu? If so, why don't we go in and have a look together."
Just now when she asked if anyone else was a guest in Prince Jian's mansion, she could clearly see Princess Jian's expression. Hongyu had been with Aunt Rong for many years, and she was probably spying on Aunt Rong. It was the one who ordered Hongyu to harm Xie Yuan.
There is someone else.
Hong Yu's figure froze, and Princess Jian also frowned.
"Now that the case has been investigated here," Xu Qinghuan said, "What worries does the princess have?"
Princess Jian took a long breath and told her mother in charge: "Go and call Xie Yun over."
The steward of the palace responded and quickly retreated.
Taking advantage of this moment, Huang Qinghe ordered someone to take good care of Hongyu, and took the yamen into the house to check on Xie Yuan and Rong Xiao's injuries.
The doctor has not come out since he entered the house. It can be seen that the injuries of the two people are not optimistic. Xu Qinghuan can't help but worry about Xie Yuan and hopes that Xie Yuan can escape.
While he was thinking about it, the servants of the royal family had already led people into the courtyard.
The man who came was about thirty years old. He was wearing a dark blue robe. He had a very decent appearance. His eyes were bloodshot and his cheeks were pale. He showed fatigue. When he saw everyone in the yard, he saluted one by one. There was Xu Qinghuan like this.
He deliberately avoided the presence of the female family members who had not yet left the court, and never looked at them, showing very thorough etiquette.
"Why are you still wearing yesterday's clothes," Princess Jian asked, "Is it possible that you haven't slept all night again?"
"Auntie is worried," Xie Yun said in a hoarse voice, "I just rested on the table for a while and didn't hear anything in the yard. They said something happened to Aunt Rong and Brother Yuan?"
Looking at the haggard Xie Yun, Princess Jian was speechless for a moment.
Xie Yun was thoughtful and wanted to say something, but because there were others in the yard, he did not speak.
This kind of struggle has a hint of compromise, which makes Princess Jian even more embarrassed.
Xu Qinghuan looked at Xie Yun carefully. His back was slightly arched, his collar was tied tightly, his green robe was blown by the wind, and he could vaguely see the plain shirt inside. It should be that he was in mourning for his wife, and his body was thin.
, his face was ugly and his eyes were sinking, as if he was suppressing the pain in his heart, which made people feel pity.
Ever since he entered the yard, he has behaved himself and only obeyed orders, putting himself at a disadvantage, like a ragged and miserable person, who will always make it impossible for you to swing a fist at him.
Women, especially, will sympathize with such men. Could this be the reason why Rong Xiao was deceived?
Fortunately, Huang Qinghe has been waiting nearby.
Before Princess Jian could speak again, Huang Qinghe stepped forward and said, "But the Xie family in Changzhou?"
Xie Yun responded.
Huang Qinghe nodded: "Follow me into the house first."
Before Xie Yun spoke, a panicked look appeared on Hongyu's face: "Princess, this slave is unjust. This slave really didn't do that kind of thing..."
Before Hongyu could finish her words, she was restrained by her mother in charge.
"Let's go," Huang Qinghe said, "Let's meet the person first."
Xie Yun looked at Princess Jian: "Aunt, why is this?"
Princess Jian sighed: "Just go and take a look inside. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later. Don't worry, after you come out, I will make the decision for you about what you said."
Xie Yun frowned slightly, but when he wanted to speak, he heard a voice saying: "It's not good, Aunt Rong's bleeding can't be stopped, she's already dying."
Hongyu's squirming body suddenly became quiet.
The atmosphere in the yard suddenly changed. If Aunt Rong died like this, it would be even more difficult to try this case clearly.
Huang Qinghe walked towards the house and ordered: "Bring people here immediately."
Hong Yu did not struggle this time, and Xie Yun remained silent and stopped talking.
When everyone walked in, they saw that the doctor was already standing aside, and only two women were surrounding the couch.
Xie Yun looked towards the couch. Because his mother-in-law was blocking it, he could only see the woman's dress. Xie Yun knew that the person lying there was Rong Xiao.
The official just wanted to let him in to see Rong Xiao.
He had already thought that someone might suspect him, but he never expected that it would happen so quickly. Fortunately, Rong Xiao was injured too seriously and was already dying.
Xie Yun was very glad that he was a cruel person and ordered Hongyu Ji Rongxiao to seek death. If the plan goes well, two lives will be added to Prince Jian's palace today.
It's a pity that Rong Xiao is a useless woman and couldn't stab Xie Yuan to death with one knife, but this good-for-nothing was about to die on his own.
It's better to die, to end everything once and for all, so as not to suffer anymore.
Just like the woman who ate everything from inside to outside, let them go to the spring to be his companions and serve him well in the next life.
When Xie Yun thought of this, he saw the man in official uniform stepping forward to push the two women aside.
Then Xie Yun met a pair of eyes.
The eyes suddenly widened when they saw him, and then showed a look of horror and anger.
"brute……"
Rong Xiao, who was on the bed, stretched out her hands as if to catch Xie Yun, but her body was too weak to get up: "Beast...it's you...it's you...I'm going to kill you...kill
about you……"
The fierce struggle caused the blood on Rong Xiao's head to stain the cloth red again.
Xie Yun was stunned for a moment.
Hong Yu on the side had not recovered yet, someone had already taken her hand, and then a dagger was placed in her hand.
"Go and give the dagger to Aunt Rong."
When Hongyu heard someone's instructions, her hand shook, and the dagger immediately fell to the ground, and then she collapsed there: "It's not me... I don't dare to do this... No... It's not me, I can't help it, I
Just a servant... My family is still with the Xie family, so I have to do this."
Xie Yun glanced at Hong Yu coldly, and Hong Yu immediately closed her mouth. Xie Yun paused for a moment and walked towards Rong Xiao.
The distance between the two people gradually approached, and Ping Rongxiao's hand grabbed Xie Yun fiercely.
Rong Xiao said loudly: "You...it's you...you give me back my child...you..."
Xie Yun sighed and his eyes sank, feeling indescribable sadness: "Rong Xiao, I really don't want you to become like this. I can't help you. If you really want to kill me, just do it! In the end, this is all.
I owe it to you.
It's all my fault that you are in this situation today and being punished by the Queen Mother. It's not that I don't want to say it... I just want to wait until the Zhang family's matter is over this time before I can confess everything."
