"without!"
Xie Wanying subconsciously denied it, and she quickly calmed down. "Just now, I heard from home that my mother suddenly fainted, and I need to go back to see her. I'll excuse myself today, and I hope you all have fun."
After saying this, without waiting for anyone to persuade her to stay, she led her maid and hurriedly left the cabin and boarded the boat.
No one present is ignorant of the world.
Someone raised his hand and called over his servant.
"Go check what happened to the Xie family?"
"Yes, Master."
Xie Wanying left in such a hurry and strangely, how could anyone have the mood to play around?
The scene suddenly became eerily quiet, and everyone was waiting.
A heart, so mysterious.
...
...
Then, the boy left and came back.
"Reporting to the young master, the master sent someone to tell him that Doctor Xie was taken to the Censorate by His Majesty, saying that he had committed a crime. Something big might happen tonight. The master sent the butler to ask the young master to return home quickly, fearing that something unexpected might happen."
"What? The Master was arrested?"
A single stone caused a thousand ripples. The people who had been having fun just now came out of the cabin one after another. As expected, they saw their own carriage waiting on the shore to pick them up from afar.
On the other side, Xie Wanying felt uneasy as soon as she got on the carriage.
The person sent to deliver the message was the daughter of Xie Wanying's wet nurse.
He grew up with Xie Wanying and is a trustworthy person.
"After the master was taken away, Madam quickly asked me to come out to look for you, Miss. What should I do?"
Xie Wanying suddenly realized that she was overwhelmed by a surge of fear.
Could it be because she sent that Miss Su into Zuihonglou?
Your Majesty will attack my father only after he finds out the truth?
But, it shouldn’t be like this!
In this matter, she was just going with the flow!
Apart from that person and cousin Xie Yang, no one should know about it.
That person has completely torn his relationship with Your Majesty, so naturally he will not tell Your Majesty the truth.
As for cousin Xie Yang...
She and he are from the same family. If he betrays her, the second branch of the Xie family will not be well off. Naturally, he would not be so foolish.
"I can't scare myself!"
Xie Wanying's mind was full of thoughts.
The nurse's daughter was still chattering: "When I quietly went out, I heard the officers outside say that we are allowed to come in but not leave. Now, I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers have come out to look for us!"
"No."
Xie Wanying suddenly lifted the car curtain.
"Change the route and go into the palace."
"But Miss, the palace gates have already been locked..."
"Enter the palace."
She had to enter the palace.
Xie Wanying turned her head and asked the maid, "Did your mother give you anything before you left?"
"have!"
The maid then remembered.
She took out a cloth bag from her lapel and handed it to Xie Wanying.
Xie Wanying opened it and saw that it was indeed a golden medal of immunity from death.
She couldn't go home, because once she went home, she would never have the chance to come out again.
Regardless of whether the palace gate can be opened tonight, Xie Wanying must go and guard outside the palace gate.
If my father had been sentenced to death, this gold medal could at least save him.
Saving the father is equivalent to saving the whole family.
Xie Wanying made up her mind, and the carriage immediately turned around and headed straight for the palace.
At this time, Xiao Yuqi had already brought Su Jianyue to the Jiuzhou Terrace.
That is the place with the best view in the entire palace.
You can clearly see the prosperous scene in Jian'an City.
Those were the common people living at the feet of the emperor. Seeing them celebrating and enjoying peace every year, Xiao Yuqi felt a great sense of satisfaction.
On the desk on the stage were the pens and inks that had been prepared in advance.
Su Jianyue opened the Kongming lantern and lit the candle on it, and the Kongming lantern swelled up in the wind.
Xiao Yuqi exclaimed in amazement.
Su Jianyue handed the inflated lamp to Xiao Yuqi, and then tinkered with another one before handing Xiao Yuqi a pen dipped in ink.
"Write your New Year's resolution."
It was the first time for Xiao Yuqi to do such a thing, and he was very excited.
Su Jianyue secretly wrote down her wish behind Xiao Yuqi's back.
Xiao Yuqi wrote openly, not afraid at all that Su Jianyue would see it.
Because he knew that even if Su Jianyue saw what he was writing, she would not be able to recognize what he was writing.
Su Jianyue and Xiao Yuqi put down their pens at the same time.
"I'll count to three and then we'll let go together?"
"good!"
Xiao Yuqi's eyes seemed to be glued to Su Jianyue.
He even found Su Jianyue's playful look as she counted so cute.
"Three, two, one!"
The last sound fell.
Xiao Yuqi followed Su Jianyue and let go of the Kongming lantern.
The red lights floated up and flew into the inky black night sky, carrying the worldly wishes.
Brighter than the stars, it robs the moon of its brilliance.
It seems that it can really send the wishes of the earthly world to the sky and entrust them to the gods.
May Xiao Yuqi get what he wants and obtain what he desires!
May Su Jianyue be safe and healthy, and live happily for a hundred years.
The two unknown wishes will eventually be blown by the breeze into the hands of the gods.
Wish, wish come true!
Wish, wish come true!
"Look, what's flying in the sky?"
"Oh, is that a lantern?"
"Whose lantern is that? How can it fly into the sky?"
On the bustling street, everyone's eyes were directed towards the direction where the Kongming lantern was flying away.
“Is that a blessing from God?”
“Maybe!”
Some people began to kneel down.
Immediately afterwards, a row of people, a group of people, a street of people, a group of people, all knelt down.
"Thank you for the blessing from God!"
"Thank you for the blessing from God!"
The mountains and the sea responded, and everyone's eyes revealed the most simple expectations.
The whole city was bustling and in disarray, with only Xie Wanying left.
She knelt at the palace gate, crying out again and again: "My father has been wronged, Your Majesty, please understand!"
The people who came with her knelt behind her in unison.
Xie Wanying is like a tireless parrot.
Repeating the same words over and over again.
"My father has been wronged. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
"My father has been wronged. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
The shrill cries continued until dawn.
The palace gates were wide open and all officials came to see the emperor.
Xie Wanying's voice was already hoarse.
No one dared to approach and talk to her.
Overnight, she went from being a favored daughter of heaven to a vicious villain that everyone avoided.
A layer of white frost condensed on her black hair, and her body was numb from the cold, but she could only grit her teeth and remain silent.
It doesn't matter if no one pays attention to her.
As long as Dad is okay, nothing matters.
As the saying goes, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it; when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
When a person is powerful, those around him are all good people.
When you are down and out, most of the people you used to be close to will become bad people.
During the entire morning court session, the memorials impeaching Grand Tutor Xie filled up half of the dragon desk.
Xiao Yuqi kept his composure and endured it all the time.
The Chief Censor was quite fair. After receiving an urgent case last night, he summoned witnesses and interrogated them overnight. He actually managed to find out some information!
