Chapter 161 Xu Maochun is finished, murderous intent arises.
Chapter 161 Xu Maochun is finished, murderous intent arises.
Xie Ying secretly made up her mind and waited until night to let Xiangxiang go to Chen's house to look for the Gu Master.
Then she thought of Luo Zheng's injuries.
Emperor Taihe said that Luo Zheng was seriously injured and nearly died in order to save the miracle doctor.
Xie Ying couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She had clearly asked Xiangxiang to deliver the letter to Luo Zheng, so how could Luo Zheng be seriously injured?
Is the enemy too strong, or is Luo Zheng using a self-torture tactic?
Unfortunately, she is too young now and cannot go out to find someone directly, and it is not appropriate to send Xiangxiang.
What if Luo Zheng was deliberately playing a trick, and Xiangxiang went to heal Luo Zheng's injuries, wouldn't Luo Zheng be guilty of deceiving the emperor?
We can only wait for Luo Zheng to come back and see what happens.
Since Luo Zheng was able to send someone back to deliver the letter and also found the local garrison to escort him, it seems that his situation is not too bad.
Moreover, the Chen family chose to silence the palace maid, probably because they knew that their plan to plot against Luo Zheng had failed.
She doesn't need to worry too much.
As for Xu Maochun, he might become a complete abandoned pawn.
Because of his confession, it was revealed that the palace maid had framed Luo Zheng. As soon as Emperor Taihe realized that he was being plotted against, he would not let Xu Maochun go.
However, Xu Maochun should not die suddenly.
Otherwise, Emperor Taihe would have no place to vent his anger and would have to investigate the Chen family.
After all, Xu Maochun was not only a servant of the Chen family, but also Chen An’s biological son and the grandson of Lord Cheng’en!
There are rumors in the capital that he is the biological son of Duke Cheng'en. If he dies suddenly, Emperor Taihe will no longer trust the Chen family.
Xie Ying curled her lips in sarcasm, then became a little depressed.
If only she were older and could walk!
The Chen family must be very lively now, and Chen Fang, Bai Yuzhu and others must be feeling very uneasy.
What a great show, but she couldn’t go and see it in person.
Xie Ying was so angry that she pounded the bed!
Situ Yuan had been secretly observing her reaction. Seeing that she looked depressed and pounded the bed in anger, he couldn't help but find it funny.
So I asked quietly, "What are you angry about? Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you?"
Xie Ying glanced at him, initially feeling a little disgusted, but suddenly remembered his current identity and special abilities.
So an idea suddenly occurred to her, and she immediately smiled sweetly at him, raised her hand and wrote on his palm: Do you want to go to the theater?
Situ Yuan's mind raced, quickly guessing all the possibilities, and then asked, "Are you talking about the Chen family's play, or the Xie family's play?"
Xie Ying immediately gave him a look of approval, and then continued writing: Xu Maochun is about to be finished, and the Xie Mansion will definitely be bustling!
If Bai Yuzhu knew that Xu Maochun was going to be finished, how could she have sat still?
She is bound to make a fuss.
It’s a pity that this woman didn’t have the courage to make a fuss about it in public, so she only made a fuss in front of Chen Fang.
It's not easy to see a dog-eat-dog drama between the two.
She was not living in Xie's house at the moment, and it was not easy for Xiangxiang to sneak over in broad daylight.
But with Situ Yuan's help, things would be different.
Xie Ying quickly wrote: Where is your bird?
Because the word "falcon" was difficult to write, Xie Ying took the liberty of writing it.
She didn't mean anything else, but Situ Yuan couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
He tried to keep a straight face and said, "Are you talking about the hunting falcon?"
Xie Ying quickly made an OK gesture.
Situ Yuan had already guessed what she meant, so he blew the whistle and called the falcon over.
Xie Ying also summoned Xiangxiang and asked it to ride on the wind bird to spy on Xie's house.
The falcon had been fed by Xiangxiang last time. When it saw Xiangxiang, its eyes lit up and it wanted Xiangxiang to continue feeding it.
Xiangxiang had no choice but to squeeze out a drop of "recovery agent" and feed it to it.
In fact, this is the essence of wood that it condenses, which has a very good repairing effect.
The falcon quickly drank it, and then continued to look at Xiangxiang with shining eyes, wishing he could eat it.
When Xiangxiang saw that the situation was not good, sharp spikes suddenly emerged from her body and she attacked the other party with bared fangs and claws.
When the hunting falcon sensed the danger, it immediately backed down and decisively hid behind Situ Yuan.
Situ Yuan's face darkened with silence as he grabbed it from behind, called it a few more times, and asked it to take Xiangxiang to Xie's house. He also promised to reward it with delicious meat when it came back.
After comforting her for a while, the falcon saw Xiangxiang put away her spikes, and then it obediently let Xiangxiang get on its back and flew out with it.
At the Xie Mansion, Bai Yuzhu was indeed very anxious.
Although she didn't know at this time that the Black Kirin Guards had come to the capital to deliver a letter and that Emperor Taihe was furious.
But Xu Maochun has been locked up in prison and no one is allowed to visit him. How can she not be anxious?
Even though Chen Fang assured her many times that Xu Maochun would redeem himself this time and would not be sentenced to death, Bai Yuzhu still could not feel at ease.
In addition, she had nightmares these days, which made her feel even more uneasy.
So whenever she had the chance, she would ask Chen Fang.
The same is true today.
"Aunt, do you have any accurate information? When will Maochun be released?"
Chen Fang's face looked very unhappy.
These days, Bai Yuzhu always pestered her to ask about Xu Maochun, which really annoyed her.
Her Jia'er was still missing, and Xie Xiusheng's little girl was promoted by the eldest princess as a lucky star, causing many people outside to laugh at them for being blind.
Bai Yuzhu always asks Xu Maochun how she can avoid being annoyed.
She is not an official of the Ministry of Justice or the Dali Temple, so how can she know when Xu Maochun will be released?
"Didn't I tell you? We can't rush this! He's made a contribution by reporting those people, but we have to wait until the palace investigates thoroughly before we can get the credit. By then, he'll be able to get out safely."
Chen Fang said this, looking at Bai Yuzhu's face, and added, "You know his identity. He has the blood of the Chen family in his body. The Chen family will never let him go. With the Chen family around, what are you afraid of?"
Bai Yuzhu sneered, "If the Chen family truly loved him, why would they have kept him as a servant and refused to give him a legitimate status? Even his children had to bear someone else's surname? Aunt, have you and the Chen family ever really cared about him?"
Chen Fang's face changed drastically. "How dare you! What do you think of me and the Chen family? What do you think of me and the Chen family? Bai Yuzhu, remember your identity! You have to think clearly. Without me and the Chen family, how could you and the Bai family have such a good life now?"
Bai Yuzhu gave a strange and mocking laugh: "Aunt, do you think I'm living a good life now?"
"Is not it?"
Chen Fang looked at her with disdain, "If I hadn't asked you to marry Xie You back then, when you married Xu Maochun, you and your children would be the family of a criminal official now!
Don't say you don't know what life is like for the families of criminal officials! I'll tell you the truth, even if Xu Maochun has made merit this time, he can escape the death penalty, but he can't escape the punishment of living, and he will inevitably be exiled.
If you were his family member, you would either be exiled with him or stay in the capital and be bullied. Do you really want that kind of life?"
Bai Yuzhu was choked and speechless.
Naturally, she didn't want herself and her children to become the family members of a convicted official.
But is the life she is living now a good one?
After a long while, Bai Yuzhu suppressed her anxiety and anger and said coldly to Chen Fang, "Aunt, you'd better keep your word. Otherwise, if something happens to Xu Maochun, I don't know what crazy thing I will do."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, not knowing that the look in Chen Fang's eyes when she looked at her was filled with murderous intent.
Not long after she left, a maid came hurriedly to report the news.
