In the end, this farce ended with Emperor Zhengxuan scolding Shi Shangshu and his son.
After Shi Shangshu resigned tremblingly, Xiao Mubei also led Xie Xu out. As soon as they walked out of the hunting palace, they saw Xie Zheng walking towards them with striding steps.
Today he was ordered to search the hills behind the paddock, so when he received the news and rushed to the hunting palace, the matter was already over.
"Dad." As soon as he saw Xie Zheng, Xie Xu immediately ran towards him.
Xie Zheng hurriedly looked Xie Xu up and down carefully, and after confirming that he was fine, he patted his shoulder and said, "As long as it's okay, it's okay! By the way, why is it just you, Brother Shi?"
As soon as Xie Zheng finished speaking, Xie Shi walked out of the room with his head hanging down and his face pale.
At this time, Shangshu Shi, who was about to leave, also walked over to Xie Zheng. He looked at Xie Zheng with an apologetic look on his face and said, "Master Xie, what happened today was that I misunderstood Young Master Ling, and it's really my fault that made you worry.
No, I am here to apologize to you." After saying that, he bowed and gave a solemn salute to Xie Zheng.
Anyway, he has already lost the face he deserves, and he doesn't care if he loses face again.
What's more, Emperor Zhengxuan had some considerations in placing Xie Zheng in the position of deputy general Zuo Yiwei. Song Mu Bian was old, and once he retreated, Xie Zheng would most likely be the one to take over.
Therefore, for such a person, Shi Shangshu felt that it would be better if he could avoid making enemies.
Although Xie Zheng didn't know what happened, it could be seen that Shi Shangshu bowed his head and apologized, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, "Master Shi is serious, my son is naughty, and I will also apologize to you on my behalf."
"Don't you dare, I'm ashamed, I won't bother Mr. Xie anymore." Shi Shangshu smiled and bowed to Xie Zheng again, and then signaled his servants to carry Shi Qi back.
Looking at Shi Shangshu's trembling back, Xie Zheng couldn't help but frown. However, looking at his youngest son's indignant look, Xie Zheng knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he quickly turned his attention to the other person.
The person involved, he said, "Prince Xiao, didn't you say that Shi Shangshu forced you and A Xu to meet His Majesty? Why did he admit his mistake to me just now?"
Don't blame Xie Zheng for being confused, this reversal did come too suddenly.
"Uncle Shi, it's a long story, let's talk about it while walking!" Xiao Mubei raised his hand and bowed to Xie Zheng, then said to him with a smile.
Xie Zheng took a look around. Although he had left the hunting palace, there were patrolling Yulin guards everywhere. This was indeed not a place to talk, so he hurriedly said to Xiao Mubei, "Your Majesty, please."
"Uncle Shi, please."
The two of them bowed to each other again, and then walked left and right towards the camp of Wu'an Hou Mansion.
Xie Xu saw this and quickly followed him, but before leaving, he did not forget to glare at Xie Shi fiercely.
Xie Shi stared blankly at the backs of the three people leaving. He looked up at the clear blue sky above his head, and suddenly felt a sense of unspeakable grievance and sadness in his heart.
Xie Xu will definitely tell his uncle and eldest sister exactly what happened today. What should he do?
What should he do!
At this time, Lu Zhan, who was left in the hunting palace by Emperor Zhengxuan, looked at Emperor Zhengxuan with a smile on his face and said, "Grandpa, if you have anything to teach your grandson, just teach him. My grandson will listen!"
Upon hearing Lu Zhan's words, Emperor Zhengxuan immediately smiled. He raised his eyebrows and said, "When did I say I would teach you a lesson?"
"Grandpa, why did you leave your grandson behind..." Lu Zhan trailed off with a smile.
Seeing Lu Zhan's playful and smiling face, Emperor Zhengxuan couldn't help but glared at him. He said, "I want you to restrain yourself. Don't think that I can't see what you have in mind! Although Shi Qi is a bastard
, but since I have apologized on his behalf, if you go to trouble him again, it will be your fault!"
Lu Zhan curled his lips and smiled, then Cong Shanruliu responded, "Yes, my grandson knows."
Seeing that Lu Zhan deserved his reward so quickly, Emperor Zhengxuan couldn't help but frowned suspiciously. He thought for a moment, then frowned and warned Lu Zhan, "Don't do any tricks behind your back. The Minister of History is old and cannot stand up to you."
toss!"
"Yes, my grandson knows." Lu Zhan smiled and agreed again.
Although Emperor Zhengxuan did not believe that Lu Zhan would be so obedient, he had already said what he should say. With his warning, even if Lu Zhan was dissatisfied with Shi Qi in his heart, he should still have some sense of measure.
Thinking of this, Emperor Zhengxuan gradually felt relieved.
"Grandpa, if you have no other instructions, then my grandson will leave first." Lu Zhan added with a smile.
Emperor Zhengxuan pretended to be impatient and waved his hand at him, "Let's go, let's go, I feel a headache when I see you."
Lu Zhan chuckled, saluted Emperor Zhengxuan in an upright manner, then turned around and walked out of the hall.
It wasn't until Lu Zhan's figure completely disappeared from the door that the smile on Emperor Zhengxuan's face gradually faded away. He stared at the empty door in front of him with half-closed eyes, without speaking for a long time.
"Your Majesty..." Seeing that something was wrong, Eunuch Liu quickly and cautiously took two steps forward, and then he tentatively called Emperor Zhengxuan.
Emperor Zhengxuan's eyes moved, he raised the corners of his lips, and finally withdrew his gaze, "Nothing, I was just thinking, where is A Zhan going in such a hurry to resign?"
After hearing Emperor Zhengxuan's words, Eunuch Liu's eyes moved, but he quickly took over Emperor Zhengxuan's words with a smile, "The second young master is so anxious, he must have just listened to the words of Imperial Physician Wang, so he is anxious to go back for a visit.
Princess!"
Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhengxuan raised his eyelids at him sarcastically after hearing Eunuch Liu's words.
Why was he so anxious to go back to visit the eldest princess? From what he saw, he was clearly anxious to go to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion to claim credit.
He has never been a nosy person, but as soon as something happened to the young master from the Wu'an Hou Mansion, he immediately ran over, not asking for credit! It seems that he is really attracted to the girl from the Wu'an Hou Mansion!
only……
One is the Dingguo Duke's Mansion, and the other is the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion. Both families control a hundred thousand soldiers and horses. If they get married...
Emperor Zhengxuan's eyes couldn't help but gleam again.
Eunuch Liu stood aside quietly. He watched Emperor Zhengxuan's eyes flicker and fade, and finally fell into silence.
"Tomorrow during the autumn hunt, you can find an opportunity to bring that girl from Wu'an Hou Mansion to me." Finally, Emperor Zhengxuan looked at Eunuch Liu and said calmly.
Xie Zheng soon heard the truth of the matter from Xiao Mubei. He stared at Xiao Mubei with wide eyes, and he did not wake up from the shock for a long time.
Shi Qi actually coerced Xie Shi and wanted to drug Ah Wu to ruin her reputation! But Xie Shi actually agreed!
He thought that he was pretty good to Xie Shi, his nephew, and even if the cockfight happened, he didn't blame him for it. But now, he actually teamed up with outsiders to plot against his sister!
No wonder!
No wonder he felt so guilty when he saw him just now!
"Mother Luo." Xie Zheng suddenly shouted with all his strength.
"Your Majesty." Upon hearing the sound, Grandma Luo hurriedly opened the curtain and walked in.
"When you go, take a look at my brother's tent to see if he has come back! If he comes back, ask him to come see me immediately!" Xie Zheng said with a gloomy face.
"Yes." Grandma Luo responded, then quickly opened the curtain and retreated.
"Dad, forget it, Brother Shi was also coerced. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with me." Xie Wu looked at Xie Zheng with a smile and said.
She knew that Xie Shi hated her, but he had always buried this hatred very well and never showed anything. She thought he could hold his temper, but she didn't expect that he couldn't hold it back so quickly.
Rather than saying that Shi Qi was coercing him, it was better to say that he was going along with the situation and wanted to use Shi Qi's hand to plot against her!
However, she and Shi Qi had no grudges in the past, and the only reason they had no grudges recently was that she had disgraced Mrs. Shi because of the camp two days ago. But even so, Shi Qi would not attack her just because of this!
Or is it that Xie Shi has already put all the events of the last cockfight on her head?
But it’s clear that these two people haven’t had much contact recently!
"What's wrong with being coerced? Can you team up with outsiders to frame your sister if you're coerced?" Xie Zheng became even more angry after hearing Xie Wu's words.
"Uncle Shi, my nephew has something to say and I don't know whether I should say it or not?" While several people were silent, Xiao Mubei suddenly looked at Xie Zheng and spoke tentatively.
"Say it!" Although Xie Zheng was filled with anger at the moment, facing Xiao Mubei, the Xiao prince who helped him beat up the disciple who wanted to take advantage of his daughter, Xie Zheng was still very happy.
She twitched her lips towards him.
"Uncle Shi, to put it bluntly, you are not Mr. Xie's biological father after all. Of course, Mr. Xie is at fault in this matter, and you should teach him a lesson. But how did you teach him a lesson? If the punishment is severe, why don't you go back to the Marquis Mansion?
It's easy to explain, to put it mildly, you can't let go of this feeling in your heart, so according to your nephew's wishes, you might as well send someone to send him back to the Marquis Mansion and hand him over to Mr. Xie Er for discipline!" Xiao Mubei said.
She was just thinking about how to ask her father to send Xie Shi back, but she didn't expect that Xiao Mubei would speak for her so quickly.
It's okay, it's much more appropriate for him to speak than for me to speak.
"Then let's do it!" After hearing Xiao Mubei's words, Xie Zheng slapped his thigh and made his decision immediately.
Although his mother had repeatedly told him to take good care of Brother Shi before he came here, now that he has done such a thing and lets him stay here, what if he colludes with outsiders to scheme against Ah Wuke again!
This time, their plan happened to be foiled by Prince Xiao and Brother Xu. What if it hadn't been foiled?
Suddenly he didn't dare to think about it anymore!
At this time, Aunt Luo, who had gone to Xie Shi's tent to look for someone, also came back. She saluted Xie Zheng, and then said, "Your Majesty, the eldest son is not in the tent. The servants searched around, but there was no one there.
The eldest son was not found!"
After hearing what Aunt Luo said, Xie Zheng's face immediately darkened, "Look for him, let him find him. If you find him, just put him into the carriage, and then take him back to the capital overnight!"
Do you think it will be fine if you hide it? He doesn’t even think about whether what he does is a human thing!
