Chapter 278 It looks quite complicated
Thinking about how she had been feeling frustrated over the past two days, Chen Heng waved her hand and bought two carriages, one large and one small, and was very happy.
After the Crown Prince became Regent, Lu Ji'an became the Minister of Justice, in charge of cases, and would often come to the Xie family.
When Shen Heng came back in the evening, she was surprised to see that Xie Jian was not at home for dinner, and even Lord Lu was there.
"My lord, how are you?" Chen Heng smiled and politely bowed. She glanced at Lu Ji'an, who had grown a lot of beard, and then went into the living room.
Lu Ji'an felt it was strange. Madam Shen was always very happy to see him in the past, and her eyes were special when she looked at him. But today she was quite casual. Seriously, seriously, it was nothing, it should be like this.
Xie Jian raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly: "Master, the dishes are on the table, please sit down and eat together."
"good."
After dinner, Ouyang En also came, and the three of them discussed something together in the study.
When Shen Heng went to serve tea, she heard Ouyang En asking, "Ajian, do you still want revenge?"
Xie Jian didn't hesitate at all: "Report, the time has not come yet."
Coming out of the study, Chen Heng looked at the silver moon in the sky, and all she could bear was loneliness, sadness, and frustration.
But for future generations in history, Xie Jian’s tolerance saved countless of their ancestors from war and allowed many of them to live a few more years.
If he can't bear it and takes revenge, the pressure and frustration will be borne by the common people in the community.
Chen Heng saw this more clearly than anyone else.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Soon, Liu Gang hurried into the room and said, "Sir, someone is coming from the palace."
A palace maid came to report that the emperor was dying, so Xie Jian, Lu Ji'an and Ouyang En hurried into the palace.
Chen Heng watched the three people leave in the carriage. Although she was worried, she could do nothing and just clean up the snow in front of her door.
Xie Jian did not come back that night.
The next day, Shen Heng woke up early and heard her eldest sister-in-law talking to Nanny Feng: "I heard people on the street say that many imperial guards ran through the streets last night. It seems something big happened."
Nanny Feng thought about the last time she went to Prince Ning's mansion and the Ning Princess mentioned her, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.
"I heard from them that the palace gates are closed." said Xia.
"Is the emperor dying?" Nanny Feng murmured.
"Mammy, what did you say?"
Nanny Feng only then realized that she had said it. After spending so much time with the Xie family, she sometimes relaxed her mouth. "I'm afraid there will be a palace coup. We have to restrain the servants for the next few days and ask them to stay indoors as much as possible."
Xia nodded.
A coup? If the emperor was truly doomed, Shen Heng would be even more worried. The Fourth Prince would definitely make a desperate move.
Xie Jianyi did not come back for the next three days.
In the middle of the night, even Shen Heng heard the sound of soldiers running past.
Nanny Feng ordered the servants to guard the gate tightly and take turns to keep watch at night. She also ordered them not to turn on the lights no matter what happened. Although the servants did not understand why, they did as they were told.
On the fourth night, when Shen Heng was sleeping, she heard the sound of weapons fighting outside. She changed her clothes and left the room, where she saw her eldest sister-in-law and Nanny Feng also coming out.
Liugang, Zhenzhu and the others also came over quickly.
In the dim night, no one dared to turn on the lights, and all they could hear was the clash of weapons outside.
