Chapter 201 The Holy Decree Has Arrived
When Zhao heard this, a smug smile appeared on her scarlet lips.
She knew that this girl must be hiding something from her!
We are all in the same boat, who would believe that she would tell all her secrets to others?
But the Third Prince is so blind that he didn't give such an important task to himself, but instead gave it to such a brainless girl!
Yin Xia knew she had spoken out of turn and quickly looked at Xie Mubai: "Your Highness, please believe me. I was forced to do this. The Third Prince has captured my sister..."
"He said if I wanted to save my sister, he would give me two options."
"One is to exchange it for the Tiger Tally, and the other is..."
After hearing this, Shen Wan interrupted her coldly: "The other option is to kill us?"
Hearing the cold voice, Yinxia lowered her head in fear.
At this time, the fugitives who had originally sympathized with the girl stopped talking.
Only Li's eyes turned red and she sighed deeply: "As expected, you can't just be a good person."
Although this girl was not bought by herself, Shen Wan's momentary kindness resulted in this result, which made her think of herself.
If it were me, I would definitely do the same.
"Sister, Master, how should we deal with them?" Hu Dahai asked in a muffled voice, holding a shining big knife.
With just one order, he would swing his knife and the dilapidated suspension bridge would fall into the surging river.
Xie Mubai looked at the dilapidated suspension bridge for a while and smiled calmly.
Although he was smiling, the murderous intent in his eyes made everyone shudder.
"This bridge is too old, and it seems there is no need to keep it." He said thoughtfully without even looking at Yinxia.
Upon hearing this, Hu Dahai immediately swung the long sword in his hand.
When Yinxia and Zhao saw this, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they started howling to the sky.
But even so, there was no trace of pity in everyone's eyes.
Dabao was shocked and scared.
He was about to step forward when he saw Erbao's face darken and he said in a baby voice, "Do you want to die together?"
Upon hearing this, Dabao stopped immediately.
He needs his mother's care, but he is more afraid of death!
Suddenly, yellow sand rolled in the distance and a group of people came galloping.
Looking up, it turned out to be the old master's convoy!
Seeing this, Shen Wan immediately jumped out of the carriage.
The convoy slowly stopped.
A servant lifted the curtain hanging on the carriage and helped the white-haired old tutor out of the carriage.
"Godfather, why are you here?" Shen Wan hurried forward to support him and asked in surprise.
Seeing the old tutor, Xie Mubai also turned slightly to salute.
Although he didn't like the old man, since they were of the same seniority, he couldn't be too rude to him.
Looking at the stunning beauty in front of him, the old tutor came back to his senses after a while.
"I heard that you've become more beautiful, so I hurried over to see you." He patted Shen Wan's arm and said with a smile, "Also, I have some good news to tell you. Recently, smallpox has been rampant in the capital, and even the Imperial Hospital is helpless."
Is this good news?
After hearing this, the convicts looked at each other in bewilderment.
They didn’t understand, but Shen Wan and Xie Mubai understood the meaning of these words.
"We have to go into exile and can't return to the capital." Shen Wan smiled and shook her head.
The old tutor smiled and said, "So, my adoptive father consulted with the emperor."
"I heard that you are now the master of Medicine King Valley. As long as you can get Medicine King Valley to control the epidemic, he will pardon everyone in the Xie family, make you the Princess of Lanyang, and immediately go to your fiefdom and reward you with some money and property."
Upon hearing this imperial edict, Shen Wan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The dog emperor wants to control the epidemic but doesn't want her to return to Beijing. There is no such good thing in the world.
Lanyang is located in the northwest, which is their place of exile. It seems that he is determined to abandon them in that remote place.
Under such conditions, you still want her to help?
She was not satisfied with the conditions, but the other prisoners were very excited when they heard them.
"Young Madam, please agree to it!"
"Yes, if you just nod your head, you won't be exiles anymore!"
Although the emperor failed to pardon others, it did not prevent them from being happy for the Xie family.
The Xie family has suffered so much.
It is really sad that such a loyal and brave family ended up with their property confiscated and exiled.
Seeing Shen Wan smiling but not saying anything, the old tutor looked at Xie Mubai coldly: "My daughter will not marry a fugitive."
"So the emperor means to vindicate the Xie family?" Xie Mubai did not respond to him, but asked with a smile.
The old tutor's face changed.
If the emperor was willing to redress the Xie family, he would not have allowed the third prince to do whatever he wanted.
If we redress his wrongdoing now, wouldn’t that be slapping ourselves in the face?
"You should know the answer." The old master said coldly, "But there is one thing I feel I need to remind you: you are not alone now."
After hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Xie Mubai's stern face: "Precisely because we are not the same person, I can't agree easily."
He pointed at Erbao and sneered, "Did you see it?"
"He's only four years old, yet he has to live with the reputation of being the descendant of a traitor."
"As an elder, I have to consider him."
"And these kids, what have they done wrong?"
"I find it disgusting that these children have become victims of imperial struggles!"
"If a man can't even protect his own children, how can he possibly talk about cultivating himself, managing his family, governing the country, and pacifying the world?"
Seeing that he was not fighting for his own interests but speaking for these children, the old tutor's eyes moved slightly.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you mean that you want the emperor to pardon them as well?"
"But even if they are pardoned, they still have to follow their parents to the Northwest."
Shen Wan also understood what the villain meant, so she looked at the old tutor with a smile: “Foster father, many people contributed to the incident in the east city.”
"In my opinion, it would be better to pardon all those who participated in the treatment."
"As for those children, perhaps most of them will still have to go to the Northwest, but without their status as exiles, at least they won't be discriminated against."
Since the dog emperor can send the old tutor here, he must have given him certain authority.
After hearing this, the old tutor looked her up and down.
"I really didn't realize you were so greedy." He thought for a moment, then sneered, "Tell me, what are your other conditions?"
Shen Wan was right in her guess. The dog emperor did give the old tutor great authority.
In order to save the capital, he did his best.
"Can my man inherit the title of Duke?" Shen Wan asked with a smile, her eyes turning.
Upon hearing this, the old tutor's face suddenly changed.
The order to confiscate the property was issued by the emperor. It is not easy to pardon them now. This girl actually wants to restore the title of the Xie family?
Not to mention him, even Li and Wang Qi felt that this request was a bit excessive.
“Young Madam, let’s just forget it.” Big Girl’s mother quietly pulled Shen Wan’s sleeve and said in a low voice.
Looking at the old master's gloomy face, Shen Wan smiled slightly: "No, this matter absolutely cannot be counted."
"If I become a princess, wouldn't it be a mismatch for my man to still be a commoner?"
"Besides, this title is just an empty title at best."
"I am a man with a delicate body and no soldiers. If the emperor is still afraid, then I have nothing to say."
Xie Mubai looked at the two women on the bridge with a sullen face and a cold smile: "If they weren't afraid, why would the Third Prince send those two to murder us?"
murder?
The old tutor was startled, and then he followed Xie Mubai's gaze and looked at the bridge.
