Chapter 198 You Are My Wife

General Han, who had been kicked out, watched the princess being invited into the study by the housekeeper and sighed, "Alas, the world is going downhill!"

When you have a wife, you forget your friends...

But, the person above couldn't be suspecting that the general had ulterior motives in marrying a wife, right?

It is not what an emperor should do to alienate the relationship between husband and wife in this way!

The common people may not know that the commander of the Qilin Army was suspected by the retired emperor and was unjustly killed with the lives of 100,000 soldiers and civilians.

But he, Zong Zhengruijin, how could he not know about this?

Xie Xuan, who was unable to overturn the case, was forced to try to save the retired emperor who had betrayed the Qilin Army, otherwise he would have to watch his wife and family members being forced to do hard labor.

This is really a ruthless move!

Han Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he walked out of the palace.

…

study

After reading the secret letter in her hand, Su Shengsheng almost bit her back teeth off.

Damn...

The imperial edict translated means this.

The grandfather cursed the emperor, but the emperor pardoned him.

Yes, but the death penalty can be spared, and the family property must be confiscated.

This is not the end. If you can't do what you accuse me of, I will have to punish you.

Yes, I won’t give you the capital to do business.

If you can't do it anyway, your whole family will suffer.

In short, there were two house raids.

This time, because Xie Xuan stepped forward to protect them, the Su family was temporarily spared, but their property had to be searched again as a punishment.

And this was just in response to my grandfather's remarks scolding the emperor.

As for the things that my grandfather accused the emperor of not being able to do, the emperor asked my grandfather to do it himself, and if he still couldn't do it, the whole family would be sent to hard labor.

Such a shameless holy decree is simply incredible.

Su Shengsheng was so angry that her hands were shaking.

She thought that after repaying Xie Xuan's kindness and getting the imperial edict back, she could escape from the dark and find out the real culprit behind the scenes.

But she didn't expect that the emperor would do this to her.

Her eyes moved.

It seems that the emperor's edict also took Xie Xuan into account.

To rescue the two saints, one needs one million gold ingots, and secondly, someone has to go to Beirong to bring the two saints back safely.

This seems simple, but now that the emperor has ascended the throne, how could he really want the former saint to come back and move him away from the dragon throne?

It seems that the emperor wanted Xie Xuan to use up all the gold medals to rescue the Su family again, but he did not directly sentence him to death.

That golden medal of immunity from death only exempts one from the death penalty.

But Emperor Gou did not sentence the Su family to death, but instead made all the female members of the family do hard labor.

This is clearly a slow and sluggish approach, letting them exhaust themselves to death.

But if Xie Xuan was willing to help the Su family, he would have to pay the tax revenue of the three fiefdoms for many years, but he only gave them one year...

Why did she feel that this time they were targeting them?

Thinking of this, Su Shengsheng couldn't help but look at Xie Xuan.

But he saw that his eyes were fixed on her face, without much emotion.

"What does the general think about this?" Su Shengsheng had to ask him.

Perhaps it was because women were naturally not interested in state affairs, and she simply could not see through the deeper meaning behind it.

Xie Xuan's deep phoenix pupils shone with a hint of dark red.

His thin lips opened coldly, "Just kill him."

Su Shengsheng was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that he meant to kill the two captured saints.

Although Xie Xuan had a grudge against these two people, if he was a murderer of the monarch, the injustice of the Qilin Army would be difficult to clear up, because he directly implemented it.

Once the Second Saint died, the Su family naturally didn't need to redeem anyone.

This strange idea made Su Shengsheng short circuit for a moment, and he quickly shook his head.

From the southern border to the northern border, and to the northern Rong thousands of miles away, it is almost ten thousand miles away.

Even if Xie Xuan did not make a clear statement, in this situation, it could only be an assassination.

Going deep into the enemy's country, even if it is not to rescue the two saints, but just to kill people, is an immeasurable difficulty.

Su Shengsheng, who was startled by his sudden plan, calmed down completely.

In any case, the emperor already regarded them as one...

Su Shengsheng's face was cold and stiff.

or……

But before that thought could even come to her mind, Xie Xuan sternly suppressed it.

"Madam is already my wife, Xie Xuan. This is an established fact in everyone's eyes."

What he meant was that no matter how far she ran, she would be used to threaten him, so he shouldn't waste his energy and just keep thinking about running away.

Su Shengsheng: “…”

Indeed, she had no chance of survival as she was being targeted by the upper echelons of the two countries.

After figuring this out, Su Shengsheng sighed, put the letter into his sleeve, turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" Xie Xuan stood up.

"Aren't you going to confiscate the house? I'm going to buy a house for my grandfathers." Su Shengsheng didn't even turn his head.

"It's the end of the year, and the officials who handle paperwork are all on holiday." Xie Xuan walked out from behind the desk, "I'll go with you to fetch them and bring them to the palace."

Su Shengsheng's body stiffened violently.

Duck egg, Emperor Gou really is such a fool.

It was obvious that he wanted to slap them back in the face.

If Xie Xuan had not had the information channel, once the imperial decree was issued, the old, weak, women and children of the Su family would have been left to roam the streets in the wind.

But she just paused and said, "I'll go and put Grandpa and the others in the tea room."

Xie Xuan was tall and had long legs. He walked to her side in a few steps, grabbed her arm, and turned her around passively.

"Madam, are you estranged from me? The palace is not too full of people, so why do you let Grandpa and his family stay in a hotel during the New Year holidays?"

He looked at her with deep eyes, as if exploring.

Thinking of the dark room that he was not allowed to enter, Su Shengsheng sighed softly.

"I don't want to bother the general too much... Since the general has invited me so kindly, I won't refuse."

Xie Xuan's expression relaxed slightly, and he let go of her hand. Just as he was about to go with her to pick someone up, he saw Su Shengsheng pause.

"No, we can't go."

Last time, Xie Xuan got ahead of the imperial edict and suddenly married her. If he gets ahead of the imperial edict again this time and brings the Su family over...

Which emperor would not be averse to his subjects asking about his intentions?

Xie Xuan immediately understood what she meant, "Then I'll let Mu Ze go to the Su Mansion and inform them first."

Su Shengsheng shook her head, walked to the door, called Bao Er over and whispered something in his ear.

After Bao Er left, she turned back and saw Xie Xuan's cold face, then she suddenly remembered that this action was inappropriate.

"I asked him to set a fire. He always feels guilty when doing bad things..."

This explains why she didn't give orders directly to his face.

Seeing Xie Xuan's brows relax, Su Shengsheng was not as relaxed as him.

If Xie Xuan really had to assassinate the two saints, she knew she didn't have the ability to bring disaster to the country and the people.

That only leaves...

It's not that she underestimated Xie Xuan's wealth. She had to pretend to be rich when she received gifts and opened the warehouse during the New Year holidays.

Even with a quick glance, one could tell that Xie Xuan's ancestors had made great contributions and had rarely spent the wealth they had accumulated in several lifetimes.

The emperor posed this number of difficult questions based on their strength.

But... she couldn't use Xie Xuan's money...

Wouldn’t it be difficult to pay it off in several lifetimes?

It's not that she doesn't have confidence in herself.

In her previous life, the funds she managed involved investments in new technologies, new energy, and high-end industrial chains.

In less than a year, it is no problem to generate revenue of 10 billion yuan.

But it’s completely different here!

Productivity is low, people are barely making ends meet, and have no idea about stock investment.

Nanling’s annual tax revenue and GDP do not even reach 500,000 gold ingots, let alone half of Nanling?
