After Xu Rui said these words, the room fell into silence.
Mrs. Song pondered over Xu Rui's words.
"Old lady," Xu Qinghuan said, "King Cheng's steward was arrested, and Mr. Song followed him to Dali Temple. We don't have to worry about those bandit cases back then. It's better to wait and see how the court will deal with it."
Mrs. Song nodded. Qing Huan's words were also to appease Xu Rui.
"I have suffered a lot of grievances for so many years outside," Mrs. Song looked at Xu Rui, "After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years. I will verify what you said. If you are not lying, you should come back to the Song family.
I remember that you still have a wife and children... Although they are no longer in the Song family, I will ask people to find them, and then your family can be reunited."
Hearing Mrs. Song talk about his wife and children, Xu Rui swallowed involuntarily, with a bit of bitterness in his eyes: "If the matter in front of me can really be settled, I will go find them myself. If she changes her marriage, I will... no
Showed up so as not to cause any inconvenience to them.
If not... I will try my best to compensate... for more than ten years... I feel sorry for them."
Mrs. Song was thinking about how to arrange Xu Rui's arrangements.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Old lady, why not let Xu Rui follow me? I am investigating the case and may ask Xu Rui about the situation at any time. This will be more convenient."
Mrs. Song looked at Xu Qinghuan. Xu Qinghuan's eyes were clear and she nodded firmly to Mrs. Song.
Qing Huan was afraid that Xu Rui had other plans and would cause unnecessary trouble after arriving at the Song family. However, by the same token, if Qing Huan kept Xu Rui, it might bring her more danger.
Mrs. Song's eyes were full of worry.
"Don't worry, old lady," Xu Qinghuan continued, "I will make arrangements, and Mr. Song will also help me."
Old Mrs. Song had no choice but to nod: "Then I'll do as you say."
Xu Qinghuan told Xu Rui: "I'll have someone arrange a place to stay for you. You go and change your clothes first. If anything happens to me, I will naturally call you over."
Xu Rui responded and stood up and retreated. The steward of the Xu family was already waiting at the door. When he saw Xu Rui, he said gently: "The eldest lady has already given instructions. Come with me!"
Xu Rui was a little surprised. Miss Xu didn't call the steward in to give instructions. She had obviously made arrangements in advance. Could it be that... Miss Xu had already expected such a result?
Xu Rui couldn't help but recall the scene where Miss Xu's carriage was waiting in front of him. Miss Xu was really amazing.
…
There was no one else in the room, and Mrs. Song looked at Xu Qinghuan: "Do you think what Xu Rui said is true?"
Xu Qinghuan said: "Xu Rui's words are not inconsistent. He made it clear why he stayed in the capital after being rescued and what he did in the capital. I was wondering why he could find Cui Zhao before. If he had told Cui Zhao before,
Cui Zhao and King Cheng are suspicious, so his actions today are reasonable."
Old Mrs. Song said: "Then King Jian who saved Xu Rui could be..." Old Mrs. Song did not draw a direct conclusion. Regarding Brother Xuan's life experience, she must be cautious.
Xu Qinghuan said: "If we talk about it according to common sense, Prince Jian saved Xu Rui and helped him many times. This time he found out that he was in danger and ordered Xu Rui to leave. He did not show the slightest malice. The changes in the Wei Palace fourteen years ago, he wanted to
It will definitely be difficult to rescue the Crown Prince. The news reached Prince Wei's Mansion and they arranged for a child of similar age to replace the Crown Prince. In addition to Mr. Song, there may be others who can help."
Qing Huan's words were also her thoughts. Mrs. Song nodded: "King Jian seems to ignore the affairs of the court on weekdays. You found out about Wei E and you know that King Jian is not the "virtuous king" on the surface. Think about it after thinking about it.
Look, King Jian looks very much like the person who helped me back then."
Xu Qinghuan looked at the hourglass on Duobao Pavilion: "It's getting late, I'll help the old lady to rest first."
Mrs. Song suppressed her eagerness and nodded.
Many things are like this. The more anxious you are, the more mistakes you may make. Prince Jian is really Brother Xuan's benefactor, so they don't have to worry. Old Mrs. Song thought and stood up.
Mrs. Song smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, you still have to bother me at the Anyi Marquis Mansion so late at night."
"You are out of touch."
Xu Qinghuan helped Mrs. Song walk out the door when she saw Mrs. Xu coming towards her.
Mrs. Song immediately greeted her and said, "Why did you alert Madam Madam?"
Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "I thought that things might be over, so I came to welcome you to rest in my yard... My place is quiet, and they usually don't dare to disturb me."
Old Mrs. Song said: "Then I'll do whatever you want..."
"That's how it should be."
The two people walked forward together as they talked.
Mrs. Xu found that Xu Qinghuan was still following her: "I don't need you anymore, you should go and have a rest! When your brother comes back later, you won't be able to sleep either."
Grandma is saying that my brother is too noisy.
Xu Qinghuan pursed her lips and smiled, watching the two grandmothers walking away from each other. The backs of the two old people made Xu Qinghuan feel warm in her heart. She must protect this family in this life.
…
Prince Cheng's Mansion was brightly lit.
The officer closed the door of King Cheng's study and affixed the seal of Zongzheng Temple.
As the minister of Zongzheng Temple, King Cheng was now involved in this case. He still didn't know who the emperor planned to let take charge of the overall situation, so King Ning reluctantly took over the authority first.
Before sealing it into Prince Cheng's Mansion, Prince Ning apologized to Prince Cheng in a low voice: "I can't help it. It will be fine once the court finds out. Just hold on and it will be over."
He wanted Prince Ning to help him redress his injustice, but Prince Cheng felt his chest tighten and almost fainted when he heard this.
It was just a matter of time, King Ning could tell.
"The royal family is over," King Cheng said suddenly, "Today it's me, but I don't know whose turn it will be tomorrow."
Prince Shunyang said with a cold face: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Emperor will never wrongly accuse you. If there is any mystery in this case... I will definitely report it to the Emperor..."
Prince Shunyang didn't finish what he said. He only saw an official coming over in a hurry and said: "Prince Ning, a steward in Prince Cheng's residence has committed suicide by drinking poison."
If the person is gone, he will die without any evidence.
King Cheng's face became even more ugly: "It seems that someone is determined to kill me."
"Take all the palace officials to Dali Temple."
King Cheng watched Song Chengxuan walking over. Master Song's eyes were cold. The officers and soldiers around him seemed to be affected by his momentum. They all stood there indifferently, which was very scary.
"Is this also the emperor's will?" King Cheng couldn't help but ask Song Chengxuan.
Song Chengxuan said: "If you want to find out the case as soon as possible, you must interrogate all the servants in the government. If the prince has any objections to this, he can report it to the court. During these days, I will be in the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, waiting for the court's orders at any time."
After Song Chengxuan finished speaking, he walked past King Cheng.
Prince Ning was frightened. This Song Chengxuan was really merciless. However, he seemed to have some friendship with Song Chengxuan. I hope... this friendship can be deepened to avoid running into Master Song's hands one day.
.
Just do it if you think of it.
Prince Ning pulled Prince Shunyang aside and said, "When these are taken care of, there will be a banquet at my house, and you can invite Mr. Song over." Prince Shunyang introduced Song Chengxuan to him, which was considered a good deed.
