"Yeah, what about you?" Xiao Qing was puzzled. Zhou Xingyun couldn't afford to get up early and went out before dawn today. What on earth was he going to do?
"Go to Shangshu's Mansion to return the things. Updates will be soon without ads." Zhou Xingyun raised the plush coat in his hand. Now that the Xuanyuan family is in danger, Xuanyuan Fengxue must be helpless. If he doesn't take advantage of the situation, he will really feel sorry for his motherland and his mother.
"So romantic." Xiao Qing couldn't help but laugh, Zhou Xingyun was really powerful, he had captured all of Xu Zhiqian's beauties in one fell swoop.
"Sister Xiaoqing, there is nothing wrong with caring about someone. If you are sad one day, I will also provide you with strong arms."
"Pray that that day will never come. Take one step first..." Xiaoqing stepped on the spot to warm herself up, then trotted out and went to Xu's house to meet Xia Jier.
Zhou Xingyun stood at the intersection, watching Xiao Qing wave goodbye and go away, then turned to the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion to see the situation in Xuanyuan Fengxue, hoping that the eldest lady would not be too haggard today.
"How many times have I said, it's not that we don't help you, but that we can't help you, can you go find someone else?"
"Mingjing, you ungrateful guy! My eldest lady used to take care of you so much, but now you just stand by and watch and do nothing to save me. You are really worse than a pig or a dog!"
"What do you mean? She takes care of us? We take care of her, okay!"
"That's right! How did she take care of us in the past? Just because she was the eldest lady of the Xuanyuan family, she treated us like her followers and said she would take care of us? If your father hadn't been the Minister of the Ministry of War, my father would have told me that I would let you and please you.
, do you think we will humble ourselves and let you do whatever you want?"
"You... you have no conscience! When you got into trouble before, my eldest daughter didn't step in every time! Mingjing, do you still remember two years ago, when your father almost lost his job because of his poor performance, who interceded on your father's behalf!"
"Have you had enough trouble? A mere maid dares to shout, can't you understand what I am saying? It is a great shame for the country for the Xuanyuan family to liaise with foreign enemies and betray the country for glory. Only traitors will speak for you!"
"Our Xuanyuan family is the founding hero of the country, so we have not liaised with the enemy country! Mingjing, you are ungrateful! You are the traitor! You officials framed each other, our Xuanyuan family! You framed our eldest lady! You will not die well!" Xiao Ding, the maid, yelled angrily.
, impulsively stepped forward and tried to reach out to grab Mingjing.
Chen Canglai and Huang Zhi, the two young followers beside Mingjing, immediately stepped forward to intercept...
Two grown men pushed a weak woman, and the maid Xiao Ding suddenly lost her footing and was pushed to the ground.
"Xiao Ding!" Xuanyuan Fengxue quickly stepped forward to help the girl.
"Miss, I'm fine."
"It's your own fault..." Chen Canglai and Huang Zhi were mean in their mouths, but in fact they were very sorry in their hearts. After all, they had been with Xuanyuan Fengxue for four or five years. Although Xuanyuan Fengxue was somewhat dictatorial, he always took the lead from above.
, but she was indeed quite good to them. As Maid Xiao Ding said, when they got into trouble or accidentally offended other high-ranking disciples, Xuanyuan Fengxue almost always came forward to smooth things over for them.
"Mingjing, please let me ask you, Mr. Zhongshu, to speak for my father?" Xuanyuan Fengxue had put down her dignity and begged Mingjing to persuade her father to help her Xuanyuan family redress their injustice.
"Fengxue... the situation is not as simple as you think. My father said that the crime of treason involves the nine clans. Whoever helps you now is an accomplice of treason. Forgive me for not being able to help..." Mingjing said to Xuanyuan Fengxue very clearly.
, Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. If his father gets involved in this muddy water, I'm afraid the whole family will not be safe.
"Remembering our friendship in the past, Mingjing, can you help me persuade Mr. Zhongshu again?" Xuanyuan Fengxue also knew that she was forcing others to do something difficult. Since yesterday, she had been going around asking for help for the Xuanyuan family. But no one could do anything.
Even the officials who were most familiar with his father began to distance themselves from her in order to protect themselves. And those officials who had been favored by the Xuanyuan family but were not familiar with her even closed the door to her...
Mingjing was relatively kind. He only wanted to avoid her when he saw her and did not humiliate her. This morning, Xuanyuan Fengxue was waiting for Tan Heng in front of the Shangzhou Governor's Mansion. The other party was merciless, lewd, and made sarcastic remarks about the Ministry of War.
Xuanyuan Feng Xueruo, the treasonous criminal of Shangshu, was demoted to an official prostitute. He would definitely be the first to deprive her of her title...
Xuanyuan Fengxue did not expect that Tan Heng, who had always been very polite in front of her, would actually say these words to her. On the contrary, Mingjing, who was accustomed to being a romantic and dandy, felt a sense of compassion when he saw her down and out.
"Okay, I'll try, but I can almost guarantee that I won't succeed. No one in the court dares to ask for your life now. Also, I suggest you leave the capital secretly to avoid the Empress Dowager's conviction and implicating you... These are extraordinary times.
, if you accept the money, I can only help you so far."
While Mingjing was admonishing Xuanyuan Fengxue, he took out a bag of broken gold and gave it to the girl.
Mingjing heard from his father yesterday that the Shangshu Mansion given to the Xuanyuan family by the late emperor had been sealed off by the court, and Xuanyuan Fengxue was now homeless and living on the streets.
"You still have some conscience." Xiao Ding, the maid, accepted the scraps of gold without hesitation.
Yesterday, the court sealed the Xuanyuan family, and they were kicked out of the mansion as they could not take anything. Last night, Xuanyuan Fengxue visited from door to door, hoping that someone could avenge her father, but found nothing...
Xuanyuan was snowing all night, so he went to the governor's mansion in Shangzhou again this morning to seek help, hoping that Tan Heng could help persuade his father, but he was ridiculed by him. Because of this, maid Xiaoding could not tolerate it when she saw Mingjing and others.
He kept scolding them as ungrateful and inferior to pigs and dogs.
Mingjing was about to leave with his little brother when Zhu Xinhai took a few steps and suddenly hesitated for three to five seconds, then turned around and said to Xuanyuan Fengxue: "Miss Xuanyuan, I think... there is someone who may be able to help you.
"
"Who is it?" Xuanyuan Fengxue and maid Xiaoding said in unison.
"Mr. Zhou from Shangyao Bureau, is the only one who is likely to help you break through the predicament." Zhu Xinhai said lightly. This was not what Zhou Xingyun taught him, but he himself believed that among the people Xuanyuan Fengxue knew so far, he was the only
Zhou Xingyun alone had the ability to intercede on behalf of the Minister of War.
Zhou Xingyun stood at the corner of the alley and looked at the few people silently. He did not expect that Zhu Xinhai was so witty that he would say such prescient words to Xuanyuan Fengxue. It was really worthy of him to raise his hand in front of the officials' children a while ago.
"Don't lie to us. Even Master Zhongshu can't help. He's just serving the imperial court. How can he ask for orders for the eldest lady?" Xiao Ding, the girl, knows nothing about the current situation. In her memory, Shang Yao is the emperor.
Ju Fengyu's official rank is at the same level as that of Zhu Xinhai's father, Shangshe Ju Fengyu. In the capital, he is almost an insignificant medical officer.
Similarly, Xuanyuan Fengxue also looked confused and could not understand Zhu Xinhai's intentions.
"Indeed... if he is a young miracle doctor, he might be able to help you. More than half a month ago, I heard from my father that the young miracle doctor is the pride of the country and is highly regarded by the Emperor's Sixteenth Son and Taifu Xu. He openly impeached the Emperor in the court.
The Sixteenth Son and Taifu Xu, instead of being punished afterwards, were rewarded for their merit." Mingjing nodded, quite agreeing with Zhu Xinhai's proposal.
"Mr. Ming, let's leave quickly. If others see us..." Chen Cang came to pull Ming Jing. Yesterday, his family heard that the Minister of the Ministry of War was dismissed from his post and taken into custody. The first thing to do was to tell them that they must not look for Xuanyuan Fengxue again to avoid being implicated.
.
Now that Mingjing gave Xuanyuan Fengxue some money, if someone with a heart saw it and secretly read their father's book and said that they were colluding with the Xuanyuan family, things would be difficult to handle.
Mingjing suddenly took a breath when he heard this. He gave money to Xuanyuan Fengxue without thinking too much. He thought that the two of them had met each other at least, so it didn't matter if it was a small favor. However, he didn't know that the Xuanyuan family was detained and the court
People at all levels are in panic. If someone sees him sponsoring the daughter of a treasonous minister, it will be over...
Thinking of this, Mingjing quickly called Zhu Xinhai: "Xiao Zhu! Don't waste time, let's leave quickly."
In the blink of an eye, Mingjing and others hurried away, leaving only Xuanyuan Fengxue and maid Xiao Ding, thinking in confusion.
"Miss, we might as well listen to them and go find Zhou Fengyu for help." Although Maid Ding was confused, the look on Zhu Xinhai and others didn't look like she was lying.
"Wait a moment..." Xuanyuan Fengxue was exhausted physically and mentally, and sat helplessly on the steps of the wall to rest.
"Oh." Maid Xiao Ding consciously sat next to Xuanyuan Fengxue. The imperial court sealed off the Shangshu Mansion and banned them from leaving the capital. Last night Xuanyuan Fengchui went around asking for help and didn't rest all night.
Xuanyuan Fengxue lowered her head, unknowingly falling into deep thought. She had never thought that the Xuanyuan family was so vulnerable in front of the imperial power, and that her family fortune fell overnight. Now she is confused and has no idea what to do...
Although Zhu Xinhai asked her to find Zhou Xingyun, she didn't think that Zhou Xingyun had the ability to help her. Or maybe she didn't want to ask Zhou Xingyun, Mu Hanxing, Zheng Chengxue and others for help in such a situation, so that they could see her in despair.
.
A gust of cold wind blew by, Xuanyuan Fengxue felt the cold, and couldn't help but hug her shoulders...
Zhou Xingyun sighed when he saw the girl's frail appearance, and took the initiative to walk towards Xuanyuan Fengxue.
Zhou Xingyun originally planned to visit Xuanyuan Fengxue's house, but unexpectedly the Xuanyuan family was sealed off by the court, so he could only wander around the mansion of a senior official, hoping to try his luck and maybe run into Xuanyuan Fengxue.
When he arrived at the residence of the Vice Minister of Zhongshu, he happened to see Xuanyuan Fengxue talking to Mingjing and others. Fortunately, Xuanyuan Fengxue had been ambushing in front of the residence of the Vice Minister of Zhongshu. When he saw a few animals going out to play as usual, he approached them.
Ask them to persuade her father and clear up the evidence for her father's crime.
The maid Xiao Ding saw Zhou Xingyun strolling towards him and wanted to wake up Xuanyuan Fengxue who was deep in thought. However, Zhou Xingyun raised his index finger in front of his mouth and made a mute gesture.
When Xiao Ding saw Zhou Xingyun holding Xuanyuan Fengxue's favorite plush coat in his hand, he immediately understood what he wanted to do.
The day before yesterday, Xuanyuan Fengxue's coat disappeared, which made her anxious and angry for a while. If Xuanyuan Chongwu hadn't told him that the coat was missing at Zhou Xingyun's official residence, Xuanyuan Fengxue would have searched the entire Xuanyuan family and then the entire capital.
.
Xuanyuan Fengxue originally thought that she would go to Zhou Xingyun's mansion early the next morning to get her clothes back, but unexpectedly, her father was framed as a traitor, and even Xuanyuan Chongwu was implicated and was taken away by officers and soldiers.
Heavenly prison.
After that, Xuanyuan Fengxue kept running around asking for help, and no longer had the intention to go to Zhou Xingyun's official residence to get her clothes back.
However, Zhou Xingyun was considerate. When Xuanyuan was cold in the snow and needed warmth the most, he gently put the plush coat on the beautiful woman's shoulders.
Feeling the gentle breath and seeing the familiar white plush, Xuanyuan Fengxue felt warm in her heart and couldn't help but raise her pretty face...
