Chapter 319: Deceiving the Emperor
"not see."
After Xie Xuan finished speaking, he took the roasted meat slices and walked back to the inner room.
Su Shengsheng put down the medical book in her hand and glanced at it. "You are not hiding something from me, are you?"
Just as Xie Xuan was about to raise the corners of his lips, his lip lines were suddenly pressed down.
"Madam is truly a divine fortune teller."
Before he even entered the house, her people had already gotten ahead of him?
Just as Xie Xuan was wondering who could be faster than the housekeeper, he heard Su Shengsheng sigh, "Tell me, how sure is this kid?"
The doubts that had just arisen in Xie Xuan's mind immediately disappeared.
But before he could dodge, Su Shengsheng said directly, "Don't try to hide it from me. I added a few more strong medicinal herbs to the bowl today."
If the condition is gradually improving, why would you add more medicine?
Xie Xuan moved his lips, but couldn't say anything.
She just lowered her eyes and clenched the plate of meat in her hand.
"Okay, tell me, I have a plan."
Su Shengsheng was just suspicious at first, but now her guess has been confirmed.
Xie Xuan was a man who cared about appearances, yet she refused to send a medical officer, and instead asked Bai Shuo to frequently come into her house to give her acupuncture...
The hand that was caressing her belly was already a little unsteady.
She always felt that the baby in her belly was growing too slowly... as if it had stopped...
It turns out that this wasn't her illusion...
Seeing that Xie Xuan still didn't speak, Su Shengsheng finally couldn't bear to ask any more questions, "Give me the meat."
Even if she couldn't eat any more, she had to eat a little.
How can this work without any nutrition?
Only then did Xie Xuan raise his eyes and walk forward.
The fresh and tender taste is just right.
Su Shengsheng took a few bites and saw that Xie Xuan still had a gloomy face, so she called him over to talk.
"I know you're worried I won't be able to accept it. But things like this shouldn't be weighed down on you."
As new parents, even though they were at a loss, they still had to face it together.
No matter what, she believed that as long as the child was ready, he would come into this world.
If the dangers here scare children, that is the children's choice.
But at this time, they should guard firmly.
…
Su Shengsheng had no idea that Aunt Wei, who was driven away by Xie Xuan, had caused a huge wave in the imperial capital.
It was clearly Aunt Wei who gave birth to daughters repeatedly, and in order to avoid being blamed by her husband's family, she hid in the Su family to give birth.
It was because Su Shengsheng gave birth to a daughter that she was abandoned.
But when the news got out, it became known as finding a good family for her.
She also claimed that after Su Shengsheng married the prince, she became snobbish and refused to acknowledge her as her biological mother.
She didn't even mention that she had visited the Su Mansion several times just to ask for money from Li, who was the daughter-in-law of the emperor's tutor at the time.
She kept talking about how Su Shengsheng had become a princess and was so rich and powerful that she no longer acknowledged her as her poor mother.
Even Li Xiang, who was far away from home, came out to clarify the matter personally after hearing this, regardless of the family scandal being exposed.
It was said that Aunt Wei had no intention of recognizing her daughter at all. Every time he sent New Year and festival gifts to the Su family, he asked her if she wanted to give some gifts in return.
Once she gets the answer, she will give it to others immediately, and whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on her.
Where does the saying of not recognizing one's mother come from?
But precisely because of this, the matter was confirmed at once.
Soon, even Xie Xuan, who was "recuperating from his injuries", was summoned to the court.
The issue of the Su family's dismissal from military service caused a stir again.
The reason is whether the Su family is suspected of deceiving the emperor.
Knowing that Su Shengsheng was not a daughter of the Su family, that is to say, the Su family was not included in the list of pardons given by Xie Xuan.
If Su Shengsheng was not a girl from the Su family, but the daughter of Li's sister's husband's family.
Then Xie Xuan’s use of the golden medal of immunity from death to exempt his wife’s family from punishment would be invalid.
Then the Su family would be suspected of deceiving the emperor and would still be guilty of the crime of exterminating the family and property, and they would no longer be able to be pardoned with the golden medal of immunity from death.
But in this wave, Old Master Su sensed a crisis.
When the granddaughter's house was searched that day, the third daughter-in-law explained the matter to the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict in order to exempt her granddaughter from punishment.
In other words, it would be easy for the emperor to verify this statement.
At that time, the Su family knew that their granddaughter was not of their own blood.
Later, Xie Xuan used the gold medal to exempt his wife's family from guilt. The Su family knew the truth but did not report it, thus committing the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Although the Su family has been relieved of their hard labor at this moment, there is no clear reason.
The emperor deliberately brought up this matter...was it intentional?
But none of the men in the Su family held official positions, so they could only wait anxiously for Xie Xuan to return home from court.
Anyone would find it strange that someone who always stayed with you was suddenly called away early in the morning.
What's more, the family members looked uneasy.
Qingran is a person of firm character, while Ningyu is a stubborn person, so Qingning cannot stand provocation.
It was effortless for Su Shengsheng to make her speak without thinking.
After a while, she understood the whole story.
Seeing Su Shengsheng's bad complexion, Qing Ning and the other two were a little frightened.
"Alright. It's already happened. What's the point of hiding it from me? And stop staring at me. I'm not as fragile as you think."
Zong Zheng Ruijin wanted to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, so as to start a fire in Xie Xuan's backyard and reduce the firepower from the Ministry of Justice.
But she believed that Xie Xuan could handle it.
It's just that this crime of deceiving the emperor is something you want to pin on me...
The Su family was extremely worried, but they had no idea what shocking words Xie Xuan would say in the court.
It was obvious that the Su family adopted someone else's daughter, and since it was not recorded in the family tree, there was still room for maneuver.
But Xie Xuan happened to be a general who was decisive and ruthless.
He went up to the court and faced Zong Zheng Ruijin.
If the Second Emperor issued an edict asking him to give up the throne, would Zong Zheng Ruijin, as his son and younger brother, follow the religious etiquette?
It's clearly two unrelated matters, but they're being blown out of proportion.
The entire court was set on fire.
But no matter how many court officials jumped out and pointed at his nose and scolded him, the boy was arrogant and dared to speak such rebellious words.
But how could someone who had waded through a sea of blood be afraid of a few civil officials?
He simply humiliated them and said that the court was supporting them in vain, that the disaster in the three states could not be quelled, that the lost territories could not be recovered, and that they had nothing to do all day long and were only looking for trouble because they had nothing to do.
Listen, how could this not make those court officials mad?
They had never known that this was what it felt like when a scholar met a soldier. Zong Zheng, on the other hand, saw someone helping him share the firepower and said that the civil and military officials were arguing in a disorderly manner, so he withdrew from the court.
But everyone was dumbfounded.
But this is understandable.
You can't let the emperor go down and argue about victory or defeat with the general who has a gold medal to protect him, right?
After learning that Chao Shangsheng had come to power illegitimately and whether he should restore order and abdicate in favor of his brother, the Su family became extremely anxious.
Zong Zheng Ruijin was afraid that Xie Xuan would dig deeper, so he had already announced to the world the trip of the retired emperor, but he still obstructed the Ministry of Justice from concluding the case.
There is always a sense of guilt.
And Xie Xuan didn't care whether he was retreating to advance or using his power to force him to stop interfering in the affairs of the two saints.
Say everything that no one dares to say or should say.
The emperor said that his wife's family was not the Su family, and that he knowingly committed a crime and was deceiving the emperor.
Xie Xuan hit back at him, saying that if the Second Saint were to order him to abdicate and return power to the government, would he do so or not?
To be more precise, it was a counterattack.
He threatened Zong Zheng Ruijin that if he caused trouble again, he would not mind making the assumption come true.
Support the former saint who has not made any major mistakes to ascend to the throne and force him to step down.
