Chu Ruoyan answered happily.
"Your eldest sister-in-law's mother is ill, and she has gone to visit her with her two sons.
Your second sister-in-law and her two children also returned to her parents' home, saying that her sister's in-laws were sending betrothal gifts, so they went back to join in the fun.
If they knew you were home, they would probably rush back home immediately with joy."
Nangong Yunxue nodded happily: "I have so many relatives, I feel so happy!
Oh, where's my second brother? Why can't I see him? "
Nangong Honglie smiled and took over the conversation: "Your second brother, Nangong Yunzhan, was appointed as a general guarding the border by the emperor and is guarding the border.
A month and a half ago, he wrote back saying he was doing well.
"Where does Big Brother work?"
“He is the Minister of Personnel.
In order to accompany my father to look for you, I asked the Emperor for a month's leave, and I will be going on duty the day after tomorrow."
"That's great, both brothers are young and promising!"
Nangong Yunsheng went to the study to get the letter from Nangong Yunzhan and handed it to Nangong Yunxue.
After reading it carefully, Nangong Yunxue gently stroked the letter.
"My second brother has been stationed at the bitter cold frontier for years, and his only comfort is probably receiving letters from home.
Next time you write to him, remember to tell me. I also want to write a letter to my second brother."
Nangong Jiu, lying in Nangong Honglie's arms, kicked his legs hard and waved his arms.
This action did not attract Nangong Honglie's attention.
Sudden.
The baby voice once again entered Nangong Honglie's ears.
It’s not too late to write a letter now.
What's still too late?
Nangong Honglie pricked up his ears to listen to what was to come.
But after waiting for a long time, the baby voice did not come again.
He lowered his head and looked towards Nangong Jiu.
But I saw Nangong Jiu blowing bubbles, struggling with the red accessories on his body.
The little hands were waving around, as if trying to grab something, but the arms were a little out of control.
Just when Nangong Jiu was discouraged and ready to give up, Nangong Honglie took off the accessories and stuffed them into Nangong Jiu's little hands.
Deliberately mentioned Nangong Yunzhan again.
"Your second brother never liked studying since he was young. He followed our father to the battlefield at the age of twelve. He earned his reputation as a general by himself.
There has been no fighting at the border recently, and the Emperor intends to summon him back to the capital to report on his work."
As soon as the words fell, the baby voice started again.
[He's still returning to Beijing to report on his work. Late next month, my second uncle will be detained at the border forever.]
[The Second Uncle was shot through the heart by his most trusted deputy general. After his death, a letter addressed to the enemy country was found on his body, confirming the General's Mansion's treason.]
Nangong Honglie secretly clenched his fists.
After instructing Nangong Yunxue to have a good rest, he called Nangong Yunsheng and hurried to the study.
An hour later, a top-secret letter was sent out of the city overnight and delivered to the border.
In the guest room, Nangong Yunxue patted Nangong Jiu gently and coaxed him to sleep.
Nangong Jiu smacked her lips and fell asleep.
The next day.
Imperial study.
"You said you found Xue'er?"
"Yes, I thank the emperor for his concern!"
Emperor Liu Jin of Dongling smiled widely: "I am happy for you. After searching for so many years, our family is finally reunited.
Find a suitable opportunity to bring her into the palace and let me see what she has grown into."
Nangong Honglie nodded in response: "Your Majesty, I..."
Emperor Dongling stared at Nangong Honglie in confusion as he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
“What are you hesitating about?
In front of outsiders, we are the king and his subject; in private, we are close brothers who grew up together.
If you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep me in suspense."
Nangong Honglie was waiting for these words. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my daughter Nangong Yunxue has been wronged. I beg Your Majesty to make a decision."
"What are you doing? Get up and talk.
Xue'er was close to me when she was a child, and I even hugged her several times.
I also believe in your character. If you say you have been wronged, then it must be true.
Xue'er has been wronged, and as an elder, I must stand up for her."
Nangong Honglie kowtowed several times before standing up.
"Your Majesty, Xue'er was abducted. After waking up, she was found in Lijia Village, hundreds of miles away, and was adopted by the parents of the newly crowned top scholar, Li Yulin. When she grew up, she married Li Yulin..."
Nangong Honglie modified the details of Nangong Yunxue's escape and blocking the road to make the whole thing sound more reasonable.
After Nangong Honglie finished speaking, Emperor Dongling slammed the table and stood up.
"Okay, very good!
This forced a woman who was about to give birth to flee in the middle of the night to save her life.
How dare they do such a ruthless thing right under my nose? Do they still have the law in their eyes?
Emperor Dongling was so angry that he overturned the memorial on the jade table.
"Where are the secret guards?"
A man in black appeared and saluted: "Master!"
"Send a few people to secretly investigate the new Minister of Revenue, Li Yulin, and find evidence that he has clung to the Prime Minister's residence, forced his wife to divorce him, and openly committed murder.
Oh, right, let’s check carefully what he has done in the past few months since he took office.”
"yes!"
The man in black took the order and left.
Nangong Honglie bowed and thanked him.
"Your Majesty, Xue'er escaped in time and was not killed. That's why we have no evidence of their involvement.
I have already sent the eldest brother to the Prime Minister's residence to ask for an explanation, hoping to alert them."
"That's right! They have something to hide, and they will definitely take action. This is indeed an opportunity for us.
You go back first. Although they don't know you've found Xue'er yet, it's better to be careful."
Nangong Honglie bowed, thanked him and left.
On the way out of the palace and back to the general's mansion, Nangong Honglie was a little dazed, as if there was an invisible net spreading towards the general's mansion.
