Chapter 506 Xing'er was arrested

"The spirit race is different from ordinary people because they have a sacred stone."

Prime Minister Xie looked at his son seriously, "I guess they can live a fairy-like life at sea because the holy stone has given them extraordinary abilities.

But now Wei Qingyan and the eldest prince are also extraordinary people. I don’t know why the eldest prince is like that, but Wei Qingyan is probably like that because of Yilian. According to Cao Yizhao, Yilian’s mother has a great background.

Cao Yizhao went to great lengths to send people out to sea. He always felt that God was unfair and wanted to destroy those who were better off than him. He was jealous of Shi Yu, and at that stage he felt that his biggest enemies were Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan.

I think he went out to sea probably to deal with Wei Qingyan, Shi Yu and the others. All the above signs make me feel that there will inevitably be a conflict between the spirits and Wei Qingyan.

We are no match for Wei Qingyan and his sister, but the spirit race might be. If they are lucky enough and even the spirit race cannot defeat them, then that will be an opportunity for our Xie family.

Therefore, I want you to take the outstanding younger generations of your clan and find a good hiding place on the sea. If you have the chance, try to seize the sacred stone."

"Father, do you think too highly of me? How can we fight against the immortals?" Xie Shen felt that Prime Minister Xie's idea was too bold and too absurd.

"Besides, if the spirits who have possessed the Holy Stone for many years are no match for them, how can the Xie family be a match for them?"

Chief Minister Xie looked at his flabby hands. If he were not so old and could not bear to give up the position of head of the family to other concubines, why would he bother to talk to his son about things that were out of place?

Although Xie Shen was not as accomplished as his predecessors, he was not like this now. He was dismissed from his official position by the emperor and suffered a series of setbacks, which made him completely become a cowardly and confidence-less person.

Unable to bear blaming his son, Prime Minister Xie could only put the blame on the emperor.

But when facing his son, he still said with a sullen face, "Then why don't you stay with me in the capital and wait for Wei Qingyan to come and settle the accounts. I will find someone else to take over the future burden of the Xie family."

Xie Shen panicked upon hearing this, realizing that his cowardice had disappointed his father. He quickly said, "I was wrong. I just wanted to be more thoughtful and worthy of your trust. I'll go out and prepare now."

He has already lost his official position, and he cannot lose his position as the head of the family.

Prime Minister Xie did not expose his words, but waved his hand and motioned him to go out.

After staying in the secret room for a while, he thought that he was still worried, so he called his eldest grandson to his side and repeated what he had told his son.

Thinking that it was better to have his grandson to help and look after him than Xie Shen alone, if he really couldn't get the holy stone, he would stay on the isolated island and wait for the opportunity. As long as there was someone in his Xie family, there would be a chance to make a comeback.

He wanted to capture the little princess as soon as possible, but the little princess lived in the palace and seldom went out. On the other hand, the two princes often walked on the streets. But compared to their sons, the Emperor and Empress of Pu State cared more about the little princess. He had to capture the princess, but how to do it?

Xing'er had no idea that someone had evil intentions towards her. She was following Lan Shu every day to help take care of Wei Qingyan's son.

Seeing that she was well-behaved and sensible, Lan Shu liked her more and more.

But Lan Shu felt sorry for Xing'er, as she was just a young girl who had just come of age. Her parents had raised her with great pampering, and they couldn't bear to see her working so hard every day. So she picked out a few daughters of officials who were of the same age as her and easy to get along with, and asked them to come to the palace to accompany her occasionally.

One of them is Qian Miaomiao, the daughter of the eldest sister.

Ever since Wei Qingyan saved the emperor's son Qian Shiheng, the relationship between the emperor and the emperor has been completely eased. The emperor has even greater respect for Wei Qingyan's mother, Lan Shu.

When Lan Shu was pregnant, she often brought her daughter Qian Miaomiao into the palace to accompany her. They were sincere friends, and their relationship naturally improved after a few visits.

Lan Shu trusted Qian Miaomiao, so she entrusted Xing'er to her.

Xing'er was considerate of Lan Shu's good intentions, and she was also really curious about the affairs of the Wei Dynasty, so she became familiar with Qian Miaomiao and the other girls.

On this day, several people met up to go to the palace and brought Xing'er many fashionable gadgets from the capital.

In addition, Qian Miaomiao, who is rich and powerful, has booked an ice rink outside the city and wants to take Xing'er to watch ice skating.

Xing'er was born in the south, where it rarely snows. She had never seen ice skating before and was very excited.

After learning about this, Lan Shu encouraged her to go out and play, but worried about her safety, she sent someone to notify Gong Jin to take the two princes with her.

But Lan Shu never expected that the girls went out happily, but something happened on the ice rink, and Xing'er and Qian Miaomiao were both missing.

To be precise, the two fell into an ice hole together. The two princes immediately jumped into the water to chase after them, but they met an assassin in the water. While fighting with the assassin, Xing'er and Qian Miaomiao were taken away from underwater.

One was the future daughter-in-law of the royal family, and the other was the daughter of a wealthy woman. Immediately, a large number of officers and soldiers searched for them near the ice rink, but it was easiest to hide underwater.

Lan Shu was extremely worried. "Qingyan and Abu entrusted Xing'er to me, but I let that child get into trouble right under my nose. I can't rest easy unless I go out and look for her myself."

Especially since Xing'er has such a secret, she must find her in person.

The emperor was also extremely angry. How could such a good person suddenly disappear? His first reaction was to suspect the rebels, but those people were originally outside the capital. Even if they sent people to commit the crime, they would not be able to take the two people away so easily in the capital.

Therefore, his second reaction was to think of the Xie family. He always suspected that the Xie family would not accept this and might be colluding with the rebels, but he had no evidence.

But the one in trouble now is his future daughter-in-law and the other is his niece. Even if there is no evidence, he has to look for the Xie family.

Just as he was about to give the order, Wei Qingyan appeared.

"Xing'er and the others are indeed in the hands of the Xie family. I have someone secretly protecting them. Father and Mother don't have to worry."

She had just returned to Wei today. After settling Princess Wudan, she went directly to the Xie family. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, she heard the subordinates report to Prime Minister Xie that Xing'er and Qian Miaomiao had been captured at the ice rink.

There was no time to return to the palace to inform the emperor, so she chased after them. Seeing that the two were in good condition, Prime Minister Xie hid them in the cellar of a farm outside the city, and then returned to the palace to inform the emperor.

"The Xie family is really outrageous. They are so bold."

The emperor was furious.

Wei Qingyan then told him what he had learned in Wudan. The emperor angrily said, "They took Xing'er away, so they must have known something.

Lan Shu, you go there in person and bring Xing'er and Miaomiao back. Catch the Xie family in the act. Qingyan, you protect your mother in secret. At the same time, I will send people to encircle and suppress the Xie family..."

"good."

Lan Shu responded, "I'll go right away."

On the other side, Xing'er and Qian Miaomiao were locked in the cellar. Perhaps the Xie family was afraid that Xing'er would lose her value after death, so they changed Xing'er into dry clothes as soon as she came out of the water.

Qian Miaomiao was not so lucky. She fell into the icy lake in the cold winter and was frightened. She couldn't bear it and developed a high fever.

After Wei Qingyan found them, although he gave Qian Miaomiao medicine and changed her into clean clothes, her body did not recover so quickly. She was trembling and was held in Xing'er's arms in a daze.

"Xing'er, will I die?" she said in a trembling voice.

"No."

Xing'er comforted her, "Someone will come to rescue us soon."

Because Sister Qingyan is here, she said she would come to save them, and she will definitely save them.

Sister Qingyan also explained to her that because they needed enough evidence to punish the people who harmed them, they wanted His Majesty the Great Wei to come here to find them, but if she was afraid, she could take them away secretly first.

She certainly understood the importance of solid evidence, so she chose to stay here.

Xing'er felt very sorry for letting Miaomiao suffer.

Originally, she was the only one who fell into the water. Qian Miaomiao reached out to save her, but was pulled into the water by the assassin.

"I'm sorry, Miaomiao, I've caused you trouble."

Qian Miaomiao shook her head weakly, "If I fell into the water, you would save me."

The ones who are sorry for them are those who arrested them.

"Xing'er, do you know who wants to harm us?"

Xing'er nodded and was about to tell her when she heard footsteps outside, accompanied by the puzzled voice of one of the old women.

"This seawater was used to feed seafood shipped from the south to the capital. They were worried that the seafood would spoil during transportation. It's extremely smelly. What are they bringing here for?"

Another person said coldly, "The master has his own intentions. If you are still curious, you will die. Go and bring the round-faced girl out."
