Chapter 4: Have you ever had an idea?
Xie Yuchuan suddenly lost contact, and Tu Huan was a little worried.
[The guardian's life is not in danger for the time being.]
"That's true, but the punishment is cruel, and he has a high fever. I don't know if he can hold out."
The discussions downstairs came and went, and Tu Huan didn't close the study door, so she could hear a few of them occasionally.
"Can we only wait for Xie Yuchuan to wake up?"
\b【It seems like this at the moment.】
This wait lasted from day to night.
During this period, Tu Huan tried to go downstairs to feed the Xie family some food and drinks, but unfortunately she was unsuccessful.
After losing the "connection" with Xie Yuchuan, WeChat's "remote feeding function" seemed to be paralyzed.
It was not until after 5 o'clock in the evening that Xie Yuchuan finally woke up.
"Xie Yuchuan: Is the family god still here?"
"I'm here, how are you?"
\bInside the prison cell, Xie Yuchuan's heart finally settled down when he heard a familiar voice.
It’s a relief that God didn’t abandon him.
"Xie Yuchuan: Much better. The medicine given by the family god is truly a miracle drug."
Tu Huan knew that Xie Yuchuan was not telling the truth.
"Why are you being tortured again?"
Xie Yuchuan was slightly startled, and asked uncertainly to the air, "How did the family god... know that Yuheng was being tortured?"
After saying this, he felt that what he asked was really ridiculous. The gods have infinite power and they must know everything.
Xie Yuchuan: "Yuheng was abrupt."
He was responded with light laughter from all around, and Xie Yuchuan only felt his ears slightly warm.
He told Tu Huan about the torture and the secrets of the power struggle. He didn't want to pollute the fairy's ears, so he briefly mentioned the key points.
He feels okay now.
After the torture, his body was covered with scars, and the slightest movement caused him excruciating pain. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain to dig out the water and medicine that he had hidden before the torture from under the broken mat. The interrogation was so fierce that he almost exposed these extraordinary things.
After taking the medicine, Xie Yuchuan leaned against the wall and thought deeply. He couldn't be trapped here any longer. He had to find a way to get out and make plans. Only by getting out could he protect his family.
But Emperor Longqing would not let him go easily unless the Xie family was no longer a threat to him.
Xiahou Jie was a man of sinister yet patient character since he was a prince. He did whatever he wanted after becoming emperor. The Xie family's troops were repeatedly decimated because of his behind-the-scenes manipulation. Even now, the only thing that still makes him afraid of the Xie family is the lofty throne of a god.
\bUnder the divine power, how could he have the majesty of an emperor?
What’s more, it has appeared now.
The fact that he came to the imperial prison to vent his anger showed that he was afraid. If he was afraid, the Xie family would have more bargaining chips.
While he was lost in thought, the voice of the household god sounded again.
Tu Huan sat at the stairs, holding a cup of hot coffee in her hands to keep warm, looking at the statue placed high up, her eyes moving slightly.
Tu Huan: "Xie Yuchuan, your Xie family should hand over that deity's seat."
\b\b\b"Xie Yuchuan:!!!"
"Xie Yuchuan: ...Why does the House God say that?"
Tu Huan thought for a moment and said, "Things are mortal, but people are alive. Since they want it, it's fine to give it to them."
During the disconnection period, she asked the system, "If I hand in that little sign, will Xie Yuchuan still be able to contact me?"
System: [Host, it's OK! The system has locked the relationship between you and the ward. It has nothing to do with the deity.]
If that’s the case, then why bother?
In the imperial prison.
After hearing this, Xie Yuchuan was stunned for a long time without responding.
"Even without the tablet, I can still contact you. Hand it over in exchange for your family's safety."
He heard the gods say so.
After a long silence, Xie Yuchuan called the jailer.
Two hours later, a handwritten letter was delivered from the Imperial Prison to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
After reading the contents of the letter, Mrs. Xie hesitated for a while, sighed deeply, and led her family to kneel in front of the altar.
The code in the letter is unknown to others.
*
The 13th year of Qingyuan, late autumn and early winter.
After studying for a whole day in the imperial study, Emperor Longqing Xiahou Jie reluctantly crossed out the names of the Xie family members from the autumn execution list.
The immediate execution was changed to exile for 3,000 years.
Both sides took a step back, and the Xie family surrendered. The court, in consideration of the Xie family's generations of military merits and their reformation, pardoned them by granting them special treatment.
But Xie Yuchuan knew that given Xiahou Jie's character, he would certainly be reluctant to spare their lives. The place of exile was freezing cold, and the journey was long and dangerous. If there was any "accident" along the way, he could not blame others.
However, it would be best to leave the capital first so that he can plan his next step.
The Xie family was imprisoned and waited for a day to leave Beijing.
Tu Huan gave Xie Yuchuan a second dose of debridement and anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent his wounds from getting worse.
\bXie Yuchuan was sweating profusely from applying the medicine.
Tu Huan recorded the last scene of the Xie family leaving the ancestral hall into a short video and sent it to him. After Xie Yuchuan saw the scene in his dream, he was still shocked when he woke up.
The Xie family is so fortunate to be blessed by God.
At noon, Tu Huan was hungry and cooking noodles in the kitchen.
"Since the sentence has been commuted to exile, why are you still not being allowed to leave the capital?"
Xie Yuchuan seemed to have anticipated this situation and said calmly, "The palace may still be observing."
"Observe what?"
"Oh, by the way, this morning I discovered they were planning to burn down the ancestral hall in the Duke's Mansion. I collected all the ancestral tablets of your Xie family in advance. I will return them to you after you have settled in. You can choose a place to replace them."
Speaking of which, Tu Huan should be grateful for the imperial edict that changed the verdict.
Because Emperor Longqing changed the death penalty for the Xie family to exile, the Xie family bloodline was saved from danger. The system immediately recharged 10 bloodline points, and the novice gift pack was triggered.
She asked the system to collect the Xie family's ancestral tablet with one click and put it in her storage backpack.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchuan's gratitude was beyond words.
"The family god's kindness is so great that I cannot repay him."
He was already thinking that after leaving Beijing one day, he would definitely find something good to offer her.
Tu Huan didn't know what Xie Yuchuan was thinking, and she didn't think much about it.
After placing an egg in boiling water, she thought of something: "Your grandmother and the others are in prison. Do you need my help? Although I'm a little strapped for cash right now, I can still get them some food and drink."
Thinking of this, Tu Huan felt a little depressed.
After the Xie family was taken away, the system told her that she could choose a new place again. She asked the system to put the coordinates next to the Xie family, and repeatedly warned her not to let the system put the house directly on top of the prison cell this time. She didn't want to see a bunch of people in jail when she went downstairs.
After the first floor was restored to its original state, she happily went downstairs to check the stock in the refrigerator. After a few seconds, she realized, haha, she had overthought it.
The most common items in the refrigerator are eggs and beer.
Xie Yuchuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Are the lives of Grandmother, Mother, and the others in danger?"
Tu Huan: "That shouldn't be the case. I think the jailer and the others are still a little afraid of your Xie family. The food and drink may not be very good, but they dare not do anything."
"Then we can just ask the family gods to wait and see what happens. There's no need to show any signs. Xiahou Jie is suspicious by nature. Even if we hand over the divine throne, he might not fully trust us. He will definitely observe us to see if we are hiding anything. He won't let us leave the capital until he is convinced that our Xie family no longer has the gods' protection and that there is absolutely no danger of any danger."
Tu Huan: "Okay."
She can act.
