The candlelight danced in the room, and Li Xu's face was dark and uncertain.
"Where are the people?"
Li Xu asked the person in front of him coldly.
"died."
The man whispered.
Li Xu's eyes immediately became sharp: "Didn't you say you would rescue those two children?"
The man was silent for a long time and then said: "They are chasing closely. We really have no choice. Maybe they will catch us if we hesitate for a moment. We don't know how those people discovered the tall man. We dare not neglect him for fear of leaving him behind."
What clues are there? By then... more people in Northern Xinjiang will be found."
Li Xu said coldly: "Gao Jiansong and Mrs. Gao are dead, what can the two children say?"
The man said: "When we were talking to Mrs. Gao, the two children must have heard a few words. It would be fine if it fell into the hands of others. The people who came were Song Chengxuan and Xu. They would try their best to get clues from the children.
And even if we don't take action, the children will die if they fall into the hands of the imperial court."
After saying this, everyone in the room showed anger on their faces.
There was a coughing sound from the corner.
Mr. Lu walked over slowly. Mr. Lu had been Li Xu’s teacher. After Li Xu discovered something was fishy, he came to Mr. Lu for confirmation.
Li Xu knew that Song Chengxuan and Xu Qinghuan would not decide the case so arbitrarily. They seemed to be focusing their attention on General Han, but in fact they were secretly pursuing clues.
Unfortunately, time was too tight. After Li Xu verified everything, it was too late to stop Gao Jiansong and could only discuss with Mr. Lu how to deal with it.
Mr. Lu said: "There is nothing they can do to do this. No one thought that Song Chengxuan would target Mr. Gao. Fortunately, Your Majesty, you came to me, otherwise something would happen to the entire Northern Xinjiang."
The candlelight danced, and Li Xu looked indifferent: "I am not a prince. Mr. Lu, please don't say such things again in the future. Now that this matter has been covered up, no one should do anything in Northern Xinjiang from now on. From now on, there will be no updates from King Jian."
There is no ‘green hill’.”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, and everyone looked at Li Xu nervously.
Mr. Lu shook his head: "You have also seen the situation in northern Xinjiang now. If you don't care, I don't know what troubles will happen. Some people are ready to take advantage of the opportunity to overtake me, and some people intend to rebel against the prince. If these people seek refuge with the imperial court or the Zhang family,
All those who follow the prince will die.
Something happened to Mr. Gao because the situation in Northern Xinjiang was chaotic. He was eager to comfort him, so he was targeted by Song Chengxuan. If you don't care, you will watch them die.
Northern Xinjiang is really in turmoil, and I don’t know how many more people will die.”
Li Xu sat back on his chair, and everyone was waiting for him to make a decision.
"Just like what happened today," Mr. Lu said, "if you had taken over Northern Xinjiang earlier, you might have been able to avoid it."
Li Xu was noncommittal and just said calmly: "You all should go out!"
Everyone looked at Mr. Lu, who nodded, and then the others filed out.
Mr. Lu was also about to leave. After taking two steps, he remembered something and turned around: "The prince values you very much, so he will let you investigate the case. It is through these cases that you can gain the emperor's trust and be where you are today."
Your future, the prince has done all the bad things for you. Although he is not by your side, he has given you much more than an ordinary father. For so many years, the prince has not given birth to a legitimate son with Princess Jian, just because he is afraid that your status will not be improved.
Save.
Now that the prince has gone, he still leaves the foundation of Northern Xinjiang to you. Even if you think that the prince has not done well, you can still take over the power. It is up to you to decide how to go in the future. You are not responsible for yourself.
, we must also find a way out for them. If they really fall into the hands of the imperial court and Song Chengxuan, they will end up like Mr. Gao.
If Song Chengxuan is really the crown prince of Wei, he will definitely rebel against the imperial court. How will we deal with it then? You don't have to admit your identity as Prince Jian, but they won't let you go.
When the time comes, how can we fight against them if we have no soldiers and no power?"
After Mr. Lu finished speaking, he slowly walked out.
Li Xu stood up in front of the oil lamp. He narrowed his eyes slightly and found his own shadow on the wall. The shadow looked like him but didn't seem like him.
He closed his eyes and recalled the scene when he walked up to Mrs. Gao to talk.
"You decide the life and death of your children."
He is unwilling to give up, and these results are not his original intention.
But sometimes, when he reaches this point, he has no choice. There are still so many lives behind him, and all he can do is make everything more worthwhile.
Li Xu called everyone back into the room. He sat on a chair, his whole body calmer than before: "It is my fault that I failed to save Mr. Gao's child. The son of my colleague is also my son. I want to save everyone's child."
To achieve peace, we must unite as one to avoid such a thing from happening again.
No matter who you are, you must be kind to the people from now on. If I find someone misbehaving, you will be severely punished immediately. If you trust me, you will tide over the difficulties with me. If you can't..."
Before Li Xu finished speaking, everyone in the room knelt down and said, "I will do anything for you."
…
Miss Yu San opened her eyes in pain, and the pain in her belly made her whole body tremble.
"Three girls."
Miss Yu San saw Mrs. Yu Er's anxious face.
"Third girl, what do you think?"
Miss Yu San had no strength to speak and couldn't help but reach out to touch her belly, but her hand was held by Mrs. Yu Er.
Mrs. Yu Er said anxiously: "Just be patient, you'll be fine soon. The medicine has been given, and the doctor said you will definitely get better."
It wasn't until the doctor wrapped up the wound that Mrs. Yu Er wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and gently comforted Miss Yu San: "Okay, it's all over."
Fortunately, the knife did not hurt any vital parts, otherwise the three girls would have died long ago, but even so, we cannot be careless, otherwise we will still have to...
Mrs. Yu Er didn’t dare to think about it.
"How are the injuries on your face and neck?" Mrs. Yu Er's eyes fell on Miss Yu San's cheek.
"Those injuries are not life-threatening," the doctor said immediately, "but I'm afraid they will leave scars."
Miss Yu San was trembling again. Even if she could survive, her face would be ruined.
Afraid of worrying her daughter, Mrs. Yu Er said: "As long as you survive, mother will find medicine for you, and you will definitely become what you were before."
Even if she survived and her face healed, who would want a woman with an injured stomach? Miss Yu San clenched her hands, her life might be over like this.
The doctor retreated, and Mrs. Yu Er said: "You are all harmed by the Li family. If we had known this, we would never go with them. Now... Li Changyan has been arrested. I don't know what will happen. My poor child,
Why did you fall in love with Li Xu?"
Miss Yu San's clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and she was so weak that she could not speak for a while.
"Second Madam," the steward said in a low voice as he came in, "someone is coming from the Yamen and I want to ask you a few more questions."
Mrs. Yu Er wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "I have said everything that needs to be said, what else do they ask?"
But since the Yamen came to invite her, she had to go.
Mrs. Yu Er stood up and was about to move forward, but Miss Yu San held her by the corner of her clothes.
