"What are your plans next?" After joking, Xuedie asked Xu Tianze about his future plans.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Mr. Qi is going back to the Valley of Divine Doctors, so I won't stay in Die Zhai anymore." Xu Tianze was lazy and there was no trace of the loneliness and coldness he had just shown.
Xuedie nodded thoughtfully. Perhaps this would be better. Xu Tianze had already guessed his identity, and he would probably have some concerns in the future. There would be no way to maintain the relationship like now.
"Then next time we meet, remember to see me in your true form." Xu Tianze waved his hand coolly and walked forward. According to that person's idea, perhaps it wouldn't be long before he and Xuedie met again.
"This guy." Xuedie smiled and stared at Xu Tianze's back, but there was an inexplicable emotion surging in her heart.
At dawn, a huge noise was heard from the court. The noise instantly spread from the court to the capital city and then to the people.
This sound contained only two messages. One was that the Jiang family was corrupt, accepted bribes, and bullied men and women. When their house was searched, millions of taels of gold were found, as well as countless jewelry and calligraphy and paintings. In the end, the emperor ordered the men to be beheaded and the women to serve as official prostitutes.
Another piece of news was that the Xu family was not guilty of corruption and bribery, as it was the Jiang family who framed them. In order to restore the Xu family's former glory, the emperor issued an edict of repentance, and the original punishment for the Jiang family was to have all their female relatives executed instead of being sent to the Jiaofangsi.
When these two imperial edicts were issued, countless people were frightened, while many people also praised the emperor's wisdom and lamented that the Xu family had finally been vindicated.
As for the descendants of the Xu family, they have not appeared yet. Even Xu Tianze went straight into the Princess's Mansion and ignored the renovated Xu Mansion. He did not even come forward to receive the imperial edict. The palace fell silent, and all the powerful people were watching the situation.
"You little bastard! Go to the palace to receive the imperial edict!" Princess Long Qingyi grabbed Xu Tianze's ear and tried to drag him out.
"Hey, hey, hey, Aunt Qingyi, let go, let go, it hurts." Xu Tianze was dragged by the eldest princess for a long distance with his teeth bared.
Seeing that Xu Tianze was in real pain, the eldest princess knew that she had hit him too hard and felt a little reluctant, so she finally let go.
But seeing how quiet Xu Tianze was with her and how useless he looked, she still felt a little disappointed with him.
It has been five days since the imperial edict came down, but this brat just hasn't shown up and has been staying in her house all the time. Her royal brother knows where this brat is, but he pretends not to know and puts pressure on her in secret.
These days, it seemed that her royal brother didn't care at all that Xu Tianze didn't show up to receive the imperial edict, but he would call her to the palace for tea every day. At first, he said that brothers and sisters should be closer.
These past two days, they didn't even give her a reason. They just summoned her to the palace. After she entered, they didn't say anything and just let her sit in the study.
Today, she was not even given the most basic tea and snacks. If this continues, if Xu Tianze doesn't come to the palace tomorrow, she won't even have a place to sit.
Then she hurried back to drag that brat Xu Tianze into the palace immediately to save herself from being caught in the middle.
"Aunt Qingyi!" Xu Tianze rubbed his ears and called the princess in dissatisfaction, "Aunt is the eldest princess of the royal family after all, the emperor's biological sister, how can you be so rude?"
He was just hiding away for a few days at the eldest princess's place. Why did they have to deal with him right away? What's more, it was only five days. Hadn't the noble families and the like been completely silent?
"How dare you say that? You hide away here in peace and quiet, and I'm the only one who cleans up your ass!" The eldest princess roared.
Didn't she want to maintain the dignity and prestige that a princess should have? But going to the palace every day was annoying enough, and the eyes of those outsiders were also on her princess's mansion, and they would often send their wives to inquire about the truth.
Let’s not talk about these for now. There is also that brat Long Musi who comes to her every few days. The most important thing is that Xu Tianze lets her send him away without even seeing him.
She really owed this little bastard. If she had known earlier when she was young, she shouldn't have been friends with his mother. Now, she was directly relied upon by his son.
When she was young, she cleaned up the mess for the mother of that little bastard Xu Tianze. Now that she is old and ugly, she has to clean up the mess for that little bastard again. She really owes this mother and son.
"Oh, aunt~" Xu Tianze also knew that the eldest princess had been suffering because of him recently, so he had to act coquettishly and cutely to try to get away with it.
It’s not that I want to rely on the eldest princess like this, but the eldest princess said that she and my mother are good friends, so if there is anything, I can naturally ask her for help.
So Xu Tianze had nowhere to go now, so he went directly to the eldest princess. He also planned to stay with the eldest princess for a while.
"What are you thinking?" The eldest princess looked at Xu Tianze shaking his arms and acting coquettishly, and she lost her temper and asked him what he thought helplessly.
"It's just that there are some things I haven't figured out yet." Xu Tianze lowered his eyes and looked depressed.
In fact, it was not just that he didn't understand the situation, he was also a little scared. According to the agreement, the person in the palace should have told him the whereabouts of his father and brother, whether they were still alive or what happened.
If they were still alive, then what would happen to the bodies of his mother and sister-in-law who died in front of him and whom he buried personally, and what would happen to the lives of the more than one hundred members of the Xu family?
Sometimes, you are only one step away from the truth, but you are too timid to take that step.
"If you can't figure it out, why not just lift the veil and see what the truth is? It's better than daydreaming here." The eldest princess touched Xu Tianze's head with a loving light in her eyes.
She actually understood Xu Tianze's thoughts, just like when she resolutely married the enemy and then stabbed the enemy leader to death while wearing her wedding dress.
She was also confused, not knowing whether to go back directly, hide her identity, or be stabbed to death by her royal brother.
She knew that if she just followed him back, she would know her ending, but she still didn't dare to do so. She was afraid that she would not be able to accept the result when it came out.
But in the end she came back, thinking that even if she died, she should die clearly, instead of dying in a confused state.
Xu Tianze's current appearance is so similar to her back then, so she doesn't want Xu Tianze to continue in this muddle-headed state. If she can help herself, she can also help Xu Tianze.
Xu Tianze looked at the kindness in the eldest princess' eyes, and his mind was a little distracted. In the eldest princess's eyes, he seemed to see his mother, the gentle, dignified and generous daughter of the Fan family.
She often looked at him gently like this, silently giving him strength so that he could muster up the courage to do his own things.
"Okay, I'll go." Xu Tianze nodded and finally answered the princess with a smile.
The princess was right. He should really go directly to the truth, no matter what it was.
