“I can’t find it!”
Xiao Yuqi sighed.
Dynasties change and the old is replaced by the new.
Even the previous dynasty was in turmoil, and a palace maid who had disappeared for many years was probably already in danger.
"If she were still alive, she would have come to find me long ago. Why did she wait until now?"
It seemed that since he was born, the people and things he cared about were moving away from him little by little.
Yes.
Xiao Yuqi is not a pessimistic person.
He believes that man can conquer nature.
Whether it's good or bad, he accepts it.
...
...
Su Jianyue knew that what he needed at this moment was not comfort.
Companionship is silent, but more touching than love words.
Xie Wanying used the golden medal of immunity from death to buy a glimmer of hope for Master Xie.
Master Xie was beaten with a stick and sent back to the Xie Mansion in one piece.
Also involved was Xie Wanying's body.
Master Xie looked sullen, his old face looking sickly pale.
For a moment, Mrs. Xie didn't know whether to cry for her daughter or for her husband.
Everyone in the Taifu Mansion was in a panic.
Within half a day, the news that His Majesty, out of consideration for the late emperor, had spared the life of the traitor Xie Taifu by issuing a golden medal spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jian'an City.
Xiao Yuqi learned this trick from Su Jianyue.
In Su Jianyue's words, this is called defeating magic with magic.
He has taken advantage of public opinion and nailed Master Xie to the moral pillar of shame.
Master Xie had completely become a useless chess piece of Xiao Linshen.
For a moment, all the guests of Xie family came to bid farewell.
Storytellers in restaurants and teahouses quickly made up several half-true and half-false stories and spread the incident widely.
The entire Xie family, who were once respected by everyone, became like rats crossing the street, hated by everyone.
An old house in the east of the city was originally the private residence of the housekeeper of the Xie family. Now, it has become the only shelter for Master Xie's family.
Xie Wanying's body was hastily buried on the back hillside on a rolled-up straw mat.
Mrs. Xie personally applied the cheap wound medicine used by ordinary people to Master Xie.
While applying the medicine, she shed tears quietly.
"Master, let's live a peaceful life!"
She consoled him, "The current emperor is different from the last emperor. He is not someone who is willing to be manipulated. Our family has become the first to take the blame for the prince, and we can only swallow our anger. We have lost our daughter and our golden medal of immunity from death. Tell me, why are we doing this?"
How could Master Xie give up just like that?
He clenched the pillow tightly with both hands, endured the pain in his body, and gritted his teeth.
"I was wronged. It's all your useless daughter's fault. She was useless. Not only could she not win the emperor's heart, but she was also caught by others. That bastard emperor actually followed the clues and magnified the matter and put the blame on me. Our family suffered such a disaster. If you were on my side, you should not persuade me to let it go now. Instead, you should write a letter to ask your mother's family to help me make a comeback!"
How much effort did he put in to climb to his current position?
In order to gain the respect of the late emperor, he devoted himself to reading books day and night to acquire knowledge when he was young. Finally, he won the favor of the late emperor with his profound talent and knowledge.
In order to obtain the golden medal of immunity from death, he risked half of his life and saved the life of the late emperor, which brought glory to the Xie family.
He poured so much effort into Xie Wanying and raised her to be graceful, well-educated, and graceful.
How could she be so useless?
Just thinking about this, Master Xie gnashed his teeth in hatred.
"The current emperor only promotes those low-class people and kills all of our noble families. If your mother's family does not stand on the side of the prince, in time, our present will become their future."
It's not that Master Xie is exaggerating.
Since Xiao Yuqi returned from the northern border, how many aristocratic families disappeared overnight?
"He always thinks that the aristocratic families have divided up too much of the imperial power. Why doesn't he think about this: if there were no aristocratic families to consolidate the country, how could Tianyu's country have lasted for hundreds of years and become increasingly prosperous?"
It is right for the noble families to concentrate power, but the rights they concentrate are the rights they deserve.
In the beginning, the reason why they supported Xiao Yuqi to take the throne was because they saw that Xiao Yuqi, the Sixth Prince, was mediocre and had no signs of being a brilliant leader with extraordinary talent, and he also had no power or influence without the support of his maternal family.
As long as he was obedient, married a queen that satisfied everyone, had children, and gave birth to the next heir to the throne, they might be able to judge the situation and give him a way out.
However, the older this person gets, the more he goes astray.
The scene now is far from what they expected.
He really did not rely on any aristocratic family power and fought his way out of the heavy siege.
It started from the day when King Ye plotted rebellion.
Their Emperor showed more calmness and self-control than they had expected.
Taifu Xie beat his chest and expressed regret.
"If I had known this... If I had known this..."
How could Mrs. Xie not understand what he hadn't finished saying?
If they had known this earlier, they should have supported King Ye to ascend the throne.
An arrogant and narrow-minded emperor is much easier to control than the current emperor who is cautious and has a keen mind.
"You also know that my brother is a very timid person. Now that the Xie family is in such a situation, I'm afraid he won't dare to act rashly."
Master Xie turned his head and glared at Madam Xie fiercely. His originally handsome face took on a ferocious look.
"Tell him that if he chooses to turn a blind eye, within a year, he will end up like us."
Mrs. Xie had never seen the tutor so anxious.
She shuddered and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I'll write it right away. Master, please calm down. You have to take good care of me now!"
As soon as Mrs. Xie went out.
In the dark and cold room, only Master Xie was left.
A man in black suddenly appeared before him.
That person had a pair of cold eyes that could captivate the soul.
The hand rises and the knife falls.
The bright red blood instantly dyed the plain mattress red.
"Only the dead are the safest."
The cold blade was stained with blood. The man in black placed the blade against Master Xie's back and wiped the blood off the blade.
Master Xie died with his eyes open, staring at him intently.
Stare!
The man in black had already become numb. He sheathed his sword, turned over and left.
Xiao Yuqi received the imperial edict to thoroughly investigate the missing official silver.
The eunuch who announced the decree saw Madam Xie, who looked like a madman, and the cold body of Tutor Xie.
It’s over, the clue is broken again!
Xiao Yuqi clenched his fists and listened to the eunuch's report, with veins bulging on his forehead.
Duofu scratched twice, and the eunuch who announced the decree retreated tactfully, fearing that he would be involved in an unexpected disaster.
Xiao Yuqi slammed the table and said, "Investigate, thoroughly investigate the three clans of Xie Jiayi, and don't let go of any clues."
