Chapter 262 Chapter 261 Don't be too double-standard

An Xin smiled, revealed a scar on the back of his hand, and pointed it to Emperor Sheng An.

“I have saved him countless times along the way, but this is not the only injury.

So does that mean that Axun is not my son either? I should have run away by myself at that time, not saved them, and let them fend for themselves."

"You dare." Emperor Sheng An's eyes widened and he shouted in a clear voice.

An Xin said fearlessly: "It's not you who said that. They are not my sons. Why should I risk my head to save them?"

He was indifferent to the life and death of other people's sons, but when it came to his own dragon egg, he was more nervous than anyone else.

An Xin was disdainful, saying that the double standard was too obvious.

Emperor Sheng An took two deep breaths and glared at her angrily: "You are right, take it and get out of here."

An Xin looked at the imperial edict written by the emperor himself in his hand, and Dog Face immediately gave a flattering "hehe" smile and bowed to the emperor in a very standard way.

Then he let out a sigh of relief and walked out of the imperial study.

Although the person who went to Jibei with her was somewhat unexpected, the difference was not that big.

Seeing An Xin coming out, General Yuchi and his men, who were anxiously waiting outside the imperial study, went up to him and asked, "How is it?"

An Xin handed the imperial edict in his hand to them for them to read.

After reading it, everyone was silent.

An Xin: "Let's talk about it after we leave the palace."

After the four came out of the palace, they still came to An Xin's house.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking? The general's son and I were tricked into leaving the city and were in danger. Why did you send Lao Chen to Jibei to replace that bastard Ma Boteng?"

An Xin glanced at them and more or less guessed Emperor Sheng An's intention.

First, even if they had not entered the palace this time, as long as the marriage between the Central Guard General at the border and Prime Minister Xiao’s family was true, the Emperor would find a reason to recall him.

The old emperor was already worried that Prime Minister Xiao had too much say among the civil servants in the court, sometimes even more than him as the emperor, and he had intended to weaken or eliminate him.

How could we possibly see the Xiao family having anything to do with the military at this moment?

This was also the fault of the Central Guard General surnamed Ma. If he hadn't wanted to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion and alienate General Yuchi and others who had some friendship with him, he would have suffered.

As long as he wrote a letter or sent someone to ask, the generals would analyze the situation in the capital for him so that he could understand it clearly and then carefully choose the family to marry his sons and daughters.

Now he has been deprived of real power and transferred back to Beijing.

This angered the Yuchi and Gao families who had been operating in Beijing for many years. Even General Chen, who had just been promoted to the third-rank general of the Wuwei Army and was going to replace him in the northern part of Hebei, was very disgusted with his ungrateful behavior.

Even though his son was not among the people that Ma Zhonghujun was plotting against this time, the three families were once recalled to the capital together and were ostracized by the civil servants in the capital, thus forming a deep friendship.

This time when the Ma Zhong guard returns, he will definitely receive their warmest "hospitality."

After An Xin discussed it with the three generals.

Before General Yuchi and General Gao stood up to say goodbye, they clasped their fists and bowed to her and General Chen, "My sons, I'll leave you two in the care of me."

No matter what the emperor's purpose was for not sending the two of them to rescue his son, but instead letting An Xin and General Chen go, they had no choice but to obey the order.

What else can we do? We have to disobey the imperial decree and let the whole family reunite in the underworld.

Time waits for no one. Yuchi Yi, Gao Tai and others have been tricked out of the city for quite some time, and it is still unknown whether they are alive or dead.

Although General Yuchi and General Gao did not urge them to set out to rescue people as soon as possible, An Xin and General Chen knew how anxious they were.

After General Chen left, he did not even return home. He went to the military camp in the suburbs with General Yuchi and General Gao.

Some of the people there belonged to General Chen's personal soldiers, and he was allowed to take them away.

Moreover, General Yuchi and General Gao would also ask their personal soldiers to bring some people to help rescue their sons.

An Xin returned to the backyard and started packing her luggage. Qingfeng looked unhappy when he heard that she was going to the border of northern Ji. It was freezing cold there, but she had to go to save her master.

She could only put on a stern face and pack some thick robes and cloaks for An Xin.

"Master, please take me with you." Qingfeng said after packing up.

An Xin pinched her face and said, "I can't bear to be in such cold weather. You girl, come with me to get some fresh air."

"I am not afraid."

"If you say no, then no," An Xin said seriously, "Just stay at home and look after the house for me.

This family depends on Mingyue alone, she has a soft personality and cannot control so many servants in the mansion."

Qingfeng thought of something, her pretty eyes narrowed, and she nodded, "Yes, I will take care of the house while you are away and wait for you to come back."

An Xin raised her eyebrows. Why did these words sound so much like what a loving wife would say to her husband who was about to go on a long journey?

An Rui, Leng Xiangbai, Jiang Zhou, Liu Boxing, Jiang Chenxi and others were all shocked when they heard that An Xin was going to Jibei, and then their faces turned gloomy at the same time.

Only Chen Qibao sat there in a daze. This time he not only had to send his teacher, but also his father to guard the northern border.

Although going to the border was the only way for the general to gain real power, he still couldn't bear to part with his family.

Fortunately, he stayed in Beijing. When the weather got warmer, if his mother was willing, she could go to the border to accompany his father. In this way, his parents, who had a good relationship, would not have to be separated for a long time.

When he grew up, he learned that many generals who were sent to guard the border took concubines, which led to estrangement between their spouses.

Chen Qibao naturally didn't want to see his parents become like that.

"I will go with you, Headmaster."

"I will accompany you to Jibei."

"Cousin, I'll go with you."

Hearing a group of people looking at him with sharp eyes in unison, An Xin shuddered.

I begged, "Can you please not do this? I'm going to save people, not to die. Why are you guys so tense?!"

"Do you think I'll be back in just a few days in Jibei?" An Xinben scolded, "You don't have to be on duty after the New Year?"

"And Jiang Chenxi, you just joined the Ministry of Justice. Don't let me get kicked out within three days."

Nobles are nobility. The official positions that Jiang Zhou and Liu Boxing sought at the beginning were either seventh or eighth rank, which meant they started out as low-level officials in the capital.

Jiang Chenxi, who had the background of Duke Cheng'en, entered the Ministry of Justice as a fifth-rank official, a height that many people could not reach even if they worked their entire lives.

And this is just the starting point for a wealthy and aristocratic family like Jiang Chenxi. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others, and it's really hard to compare goods.

An Xin looked at him and said, "Cherish it, young man. An official position as high as Qidian is not something you can get easily."

An Xin refused to let anyone follow her. After dinner, she returned to the inner courtyard and saw Zheng Xiaoling standing at her door. She turned around when she heard the noise and said, "You said you wanted me to follow you from now on?!"
