Chapter 318: Birth Mother Aunt Wei
Seeing Xie Xuan's face still gloomy, Su Shengsheng couldn't help but take a deep breath, "We can't always fight among ourselves. We shouldn't always engage in zero-sum games where one side gains and the other loses."
Xie Xuan's tone was heavy, "But we can't always be so passive. People who do wrong don't need to be punished, right?"
"I didn't say those who do bad things shouldn't be punished, but if we break the law just to stop the bad behavior started by the emperor, we'll still lose if the people follow our lead."
Su Shengsheng knew that the reason why she couldn't get rid of him was that he had never lived in a society ruled by law.
Imperial power was supreme, and it was normal for the court to oppress its subjects.
"We need to find ways to expand this community, so that everyone can benefit and this kind of thing never happens again. We can't be the ones to corrupt the atmosphere; we need to make it a truly sustainable ecosystem."
After spending a long time together, Xie Xuan had heard a lot of her thinking logic, so he knew what she meant.
But this doesn't mean that he can really endure it.
Thinking of how Jun Yao had been secretly increasing the cold-natured medication she took.
Thinking that the baby in her belly might not be saved, he wanted to tear Jun Yao into pieces.
But seeing her pale face and weakly arguing with him, he couldn't bear to make her upset at this time.
Even if Jun Yao's life cannot be taken at this moment, Ye Die's confession is already conclusive.
Xie Xuanfeng's pupils tightened silently.
She should also pay back for some things...
But the words that fell into Su Shengsheng's ears were already a compromise, "Okay, I don't want her life for now."
It's just that he doesn't want her life. She doesn't deserve an easy escape...
Su Shengsheng breathed a sigh of relief. The physical fatigue allowed her to briefly replenish some nutrition, and then she fell asleep again.
…
Prince's Palace
Prince Jingyuan was personally waiting outside the mansion for Prince Wenrui.
When he first heard the news, he was also shocked.
I always feel that Zong Zheng Ruijin would not embarrass a woman or child.
It can be seen that his son was also shocked when he returned home with a pale face.
"But is there something wrong with the child in Princess Xuanming's belly?"
Prince Wenrui shook his head at first, then said with difficulty: "It's hard to say yet."
The long street was in chaos at the time, and Xie Xuan and Ning Jie had to stop their vehicles to avoid overturning them.
But who knew that the people inside didn't hold on tightly.
For this, General Xie and Ning Jie both blamed themselves.
But that blood...
Prince Wenrui looked downcast and could hardly speak anymore.
Prince Jingyuan had a solemn expression on his face. He personally helped him back into the house. After hesitating for a long time, he still found it difficult to speak.
He has been with this son since he was a child.
I feel sorry for his life experience and want to keep him away from trouble.
But I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to re-examine my case in that life.
But now, his brother Zong Zheng Ruijin has repeatedly obstructed him from investigating the case, which makes him wonder if there is something else going on.
Who can blame the incident back then for being full of doubts?
Coupled with the gas field incident, he witnessed even more the ruthlessness of his brother, who was born of the same mother.
But at this moment, Prince Wenrui looked up at him and said, "Father, I want to do it."
Prince Jingyuan was stunned. After a long pause, he asked in a trembling voice, "Have you really thought it through?"
Prince Wenrui nodded, his gaze cast towards the window where the east wind was gusting. "Even if I really have to acknowledge a thief as my father, I still want to do it."
If Zong Zheng Ruijin was trying to fight for the position of Crown Prince, and was trying to incite the two sons of the former Saint to fight against each other secretly, in order to severely damage the Qilin Army...
Then Zong Zheng Ruijin would really be the mastermind behind the persecution of his father.
The reason why he didn't dare tell him the truth about the gas field was because his son was a cautious person and couldn't hide his secrets.
If Zong Zheng Ruijin found out, he would definitely have reservations and not dare to adopt his son.
But right now...
Prince Jingyuan patted his son's shoulder with satisfaction, and told him everything that happened after the gas field was mined, and how Zong Zheng Ruijin and Bai Shangguo conspired to kidnap Su Shengsheng.
Including those "alien" words.
If he, the father, passed away, his son would be completely controlled by Zong Zheng Ruijin.
Prince Jingyuan believed that his son had his own judgment.
No matter who did what happened today, the son must take responsibility.
The tragic suffering of 100,000 soldiers and civilians must never happen again.
Prince Wenrui had heard about the rumors outside earlier, but his father told him that it was just someone trying to spread rumors about Princess Xuanming.
But he didn't know that the darkness here was far beyond his imagination.
…
The news of the assassination of the carriage in which Princess Xuanming of Changjie was riding naturally reached the court.
In public, under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Zong Zheng Ruijin naturally ordered the Dali Temple to conduct a strict interrogation and make sure to find the murderer.
In addition, he gave Princess Xuanming a lot of precious medicinal herbs to calm her nerves and protect her pregnancy.
Xie Xuan claimed to be seriously injured, so it was natural for him to say that he had internal injuries caused by the incident of curbing the mad horse and needed to rest.
After that, he really ignored everything and focused on accompanying Su Shengsheng in the mansion.
Even though people outside speculated that this was an evil person, they were more envious of him, and that the Xuanming King, who had made great military achievements, was willing to stay in the palace.
Even the Qilin Army case can be put aside for now.
This is enough to prove how important this Princess Xuanming is in his heart.
But those who secretly envied her had no idea how depressed Su Shengsheng was.
Just as she said she was happy, she was put in solitary confinement.
That would have been fine, but before it was just her mother who lectured her, but now it’s not just the whole family, but also this big devil.
Looking at Xie Xuan, he wanted to treat her like a soldier, managing her in a military manner, and making sure her food, clothing, housing and transportation all followed the rules to the letter.
Su Shengsheng felt indescribable pain in her heart.
How many steps to walk, how much dessert to eat, everything must be strictly followed according to the doctor's instructions.
If you didn’t know, you would think she was terminally ill!
Seeing that she slept a lot and had nightmares easily at night, he insisted on dragging her to listen to his jokes.
Su Shengsheng wished she could go back to the past and set some rules for him on the wedding day.
He was not allowed to tell her jokes.
Because it was so cold, it was torture.
Looking at the person who couldn't be driven away and who never left her side for a moment, she sighed to the sky.
Who did she offend?
How could I marry such an unreasonable person?
But what is undeniable is that under Xie Xuan's strict deployment, her body became stronger day by day.
Even my appetite suddenly improved and I could eat a few pieces of meat.
One day, Xie Xuan was roasting delicious roe deer meat in the yard when he heard the housekeeper hurriedly report from the outer courtyard.
It is said that Su Shengsheng's biological mother, Aunt Wei, wants to see her.
When Xie Xuan heard this, he was ready to order someone to send him away.
It was because Zaiqing had also mentioned to Mu Ze that her biological mother only wrote to her when she became his princess.
But this is the only one.
After the emperor ordered a second search of the Su Mansion and demanded a ransom of one million gold ingots, there was no news of him again.
It was obvious that he felt that Su Shengsheng couldn't do it and was afraid of implicating them.
Now that the news of the Su family's return to the imperial capital has spread, we know what they want to do without having to think about it.
Shengsheng's appetite had just improved, and he didn't want anyone to spoil his mood.
But just as he ordered his men to chase her away, Mu Ze stopped him, "General, this is Madam's biological mother after all. Perhaps Madam wants to see her. If we chase her away like this, we're afraid it will hurt Madam."
Although Xie Xuan admitted that he was not as good as Mu Ze in terms of human relationships and worldly affairs.
But right now, Shengsheng’s appetite is what matters.
