The gentle and pleasant voice reached her ears, and her phoenix eyes were filled with tenderness, so affectionate that it seemed to absorb her into it.
However, even such tender eyes could not stop the sharpness in those dark eyes.
Yu Qingwu's expression stiffened, but he soon regained his calm expression. He looked at him with a faint smile and asked, "So what? Everything in this world is not fair. Your Highness, you have said it a long time ago, haven't you? There are many things.
It’s all impossible to change.”
"For example, identity, class. For example, the same thing can have different results when it happens to different people. So what if you know? But you can only accept it."
"I accept the unfairness of the world, but do I accept it? Isn't it possible that I can't even complain at all?"
There was a trace of frost at the end of Yu Qingwu's eyes, but she didn't cover it up at all. There was no need for her to cover it up.
To be honest, she was still moved by the fact that Xie Jinyan took Xu Zian to the East Palace to torture her regardless of her reputation, but when she saw Xu Zian's punishment for kidnapping Xie Ruizhi and deceiving Xie Ruizhi, she felt very unhappy.
She was not a sister-in-law competing with her sister-in-law for favor, but she suddenly realized that the so-called aristocratic family relationship was only for common people like them. If it were placed on the princess, it seemed to be worth mentioning.
The dozens of lives taken by the Yu family were only light punishments in the end. Those officials who took lives did not pay for it with their lives. Even the Qiu family and Shen Yanhuan were executed for disobeying the royal family with their words. As for the others, they did not pay for it.
The cost of life.
But Xie Ruizhi knew that she was alive and well, and she was just deceived by Xu Zian. For this, Xu Zian and the Xu family would have to pay a huge price, and they might even have to ransack their home.
This is probably the difference between the royal family and the common people.
Civilian lives are worthless.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingwu couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth with a touch of sarcasm, and sighed with a wry smile, "So, Your Highness, the lives of civilians are really worthless, right?"
"Even dozens of lives are not worth the kidnapping of the royal princess, right?"
"After all, the lives of dozens of civilians are not as important as those of the royal princess, right?"
"Awu..."
Xie Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked deeply into the woman's mocking eyes. He wanted to explain something, but found that he could not argue at all.
After pondering for a moment, he gently touched her lips and said warmly, "Awu, don't say these words again in the future. It will not be good for you if they reach the ears of your father and mother."
He lowered his eyes, not daring to look into her eyes again.
Yes, he told her before that the aristocratic families were deeply intertwined, and even if it was a mediocre and powerless government like the Shen family, he always wanted her to understand his difficulties, and even quarreled with her over it.
At that time, he even thought she was ignorant.
But today, when the matter fell on Xie Ruizhi, his father had a completely different attitude. Looking at the situation, even if the Xu family was not to be wiped out, the whole family might have to be confiscated and sent to the frontier.
At this moment, he could no longer explain the so-called helpless situation to Qing Wu.
For a moment, the two of them looked at each other in silence.
During this spring banquet, the two of them didn't say a word.
When it was over, he was silent and speechless. On the way back to the Prince's Mansion, his mood was heavy and complicated.
That night, Yu Qingwu had another nightmare.
I dreamed that I returned to the night when the Yu family was exterminated. The raging fire burned the huge Yu family to ashes, and the relatives I once knew were burned beyond recognition.
After an unknown amount of time, she woke up crying.
"Princess, are you awake?"
Maybe she heard the noise, and Nanny Xun came in quickly from the outside. Seeing her eyes were red and swollen, she quickly asked, "What's wrong with the Crown Princess? But she has another nightmare? Do you want the imperial doctor to come and take a look?"
"No problem..." Yu Qingwu shook his head and stood up weakly.
It was obviously just a dream, but she felt like she was experiencing it again.
Mostly, it’s because I have knots in my heart.
Rubbing his temples, Yu Qingwu slowly got off the bed.
Aunt Xun immediately brought her water to wash her up.
"Mother Xun, how are things going with the Xu family?"
Although he was mentally unbalanced, Yu Qingwu was still eager to know what would happen if Xu Zian did such a thing?
When the royal family arrested Xu Zian, the external crime was that he and Qiu Kui had messed up the harem. Aunt Xun didn't know the real reason. When Yu Qingwu asked her, she immediately said excitedly, "Hey, what can I do? I'm going to die."
,fabi fabi!”
"This Okra is so courageous. Not only does she have an affair with Xu Zian, but she also has an affair with Xu Zian's three brothers and his father, Mr. Xu! Oh, this old slave doesn't care.
explain!"
"Now all the men in the Xu family have been beheaded, and the women are all sent to the frontiers or as slaves. The worst is Xu Fengxia, who is already married. When her husband, Mr. Cao, heard the news,
I wrote a letter of divorce overnight, and now Mr. Cao is finally clean, but Xu Fengxia has been sent to the border to become a military prostitute."
"After all, she is an innocent official lady. What do you think she is doing wrong? She has to do the business of the brothel madam, and bring her father and brother into trouble with the Qiu family..."
"As for the Qiu family, they raised such a daughter and repeatedly smeared the royal family's face. She was also stripped of her official position. Now she can't even keep her title of marquis. Not only has the whole family been demoted to common people, but the family's livelihood has also been cut off. Then
Qiu's life was saved, but I heard... that she and Xu Fengxia will be sent to the border to become military prostitutes."
Therefore, the royal family finally covered up the fact that Xie Ruizhi was kidnapped by bandits.
As for why it was said that Qiu Kui had an affair with several men from the Xu family, it was obviously because Qiu Kui wanted to let the bandits taint Xie Ruizhi's innocence in revenge. It seemed that the Xu family had already known about the secret behind this. Not only did they not tell Xu Zian
They were strict in discipline and yet shamelessly continued to seek benefits for themselves in the name of kindness many times. This was deceiving the emperor. If the emperor did not kill them, he would kill them all.
Well deserved...
While sighing, Yu Qingwu also understood one thing more and more. If he wanted revenge, he had to climb higher, let alone have a stalemate with Xie Jinyan.
Thinking of Xie Jinyan, she couldn't help but think of the silence between the two yesterday.
After a pause, he changed the topic and asked Nanny Xun again, "Aunt Xun, where did His Highness go today? Did you say when he will be back?"
The Crown Princess actually took the initiative to ask when His Highness would return?
Yu Qingwu's inquiry made Aunt Xun a little surprised and quite pleasantly surprised. She smiled and said, "His Royal Highness went to the Yin Office of Jingzhao Mansion today. He said he was going to deal with an old case. He should be back in the afternoon."
"Princess, a young master is here to visit." As soon as Nanny Xun finished speaking, Chuntao's voice came from outside.
Hearing this, Yu Qingwu was stunned and said doubtfully, "Young Master? Are you here to visit me?"
Chuntao nodded, looking a little embarrassed, "Yes, I have already said that the Crown Princess will not see her husband alone, but the Young Master said that whenever you see this thing, you will definitely see him." This chapter has been completed!
