Chapter 279 I will help you if I can
Shouldn't it be a life swap? At least this way, both can survive.
Chen Heng didn't expect it to be like this.
"In fact, the emperor passed away a few days ago. The fourth prince joined forces with everyone to make a last-ditch effort, but ultimately failed. He committed suicide by taking poison, and Concubine Ming was also buried alive with him." To say it was buried alive with him was just a nice name.
Nanny Feng thought that what she knew in the palace this time was more than the secrets she had known in her entire life. Lord Xie trusted her so much, so she had to keep her mouth shut, otherwise it would bring disaster to Lord Xie and Madam Shen.
In just a few words, the danger is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Chen Heng was really scared when she thought about it. Although she did not participate in it personally, her life was in the hands of someone else. Fortunately, this someone else was not someone else, but the person she would spend her life with.
The crown prince ascended the throne, but it was a period of national mourning, and the coronation ceremony would not be held until a month later.
Finally, all the love affairs came to an end.
As night fell, Xie Jianqi arrived.
The sister-in-law asked some questions and confirmed that there was nothing wrong, then she went back to the room with peace of mind.
Achan prepared the bath water, towel and clothes, and then left. The master and Madam Shen would only let her serve them personally when they were tired, and they would not be able to see her at all at other times.
After bathing, Chen Heng helped Xie Jian get dressed and then served him tea.
Seeing Ah Heng busy, Xie Jian smiled and hugged her with his long arms.
"You've lost weight again." Chen Heng said, her chest heaving, her arms barely widening as she hugged him. "Sister-in-law said she'll give you some nourishment these past couple of days."
Xie Jian hummed lightly, and holding Ah Heng made him feel extremely at ease.
"You are so tired, go to bed early."
"I can't sleep." There are still many things to come, and Xie Jian gets a headache just thinking about it.
"Then I'll ask Pearl to make you some calming soup?"
"No more." Xie Jian came to the table and took out the memorial he had just placed there: "Let's deal with these first."
Shen Heng glanced at it, then looked at it carefully again, and exclaimed: "Is this a memorial? Let me see."
Xie Jian: “…”
"It feels ordinary, quite rough." But it was still better than the notebook she used for accounting. Chen Heng was feeling the paper at first, but when she saw the contents of the memorial, she took a closer look: "Is this a memorial requesting the execution of the nine clans of the family who supported the Fourth Prince?"
Xie Jian nodded: "It's a large family, more than a hundred people."
"Kill them all?"
Looking at Ah Heng's gloomy expression, Xie Jian said, "Throughout history, the extermination of nine clans is rare, but for this wealthy family, the death of hundreds of people is a big deal."
Chen Heng looked at these clans. They had all existed in the imperial capital for a hundred years and were even extremely prestigious. She had even come into contact with several of their managers. "They actually all support the Fourth Prince? All the big clans support the Fourth Prince?"
When the nanny talked about it, she was confused in her heart. What qualifications did the Fourth Prince have?
"These two great families," Xie Jian pointed at two of the surnames, "were schemed against by the Yuezhou Si family, who used them as a tool to kill someone else."
The fight between the two families is also very exciting.
"It's the Si family of Yuezhou again. Although the imperial court is currently facing many disasters, even if the Si family has ambitions, they won't be able to do anything about it for the time being, right?"
"The century-old foundation has already rotted, it's just a matter of time. Ah Heng, are you afraid?" Xie Jian looked at her.
