Chapter 42
Prime Minister Xie looked at Aunt Jing and Xie Wan who were begging for mercy in front of him, with a look of indignation.

But thinking of the embarrassing things Xie Wan did today, and feeling that Aunt Jing is really not good at teaching children, Prime Minister Xie nodded with difficulty and said, "I promise you, mother."

After Aunt Jing heard it, she knelt on the ground weakly. Xie Wan was still crying not to go to the Buddhist hall. Prime Minister Xie shook his head and ordered people to take Xie Wan away, while he helped Aunt Jing get up in distress.

"Mother, Jingyun is still pregnant. If there is nothing wrong with my son, I will take her away first." Prime Minister Xie said to the old lady Xie exhaustedly, not wanting to stay here for a long time.

The old lady Xie nodded to Prime Minister Xie, not wanting to say a word to him, so she waved him away.

After Prime Minister Xie left, Mrs. Xie was also a little tired. Looking at Xie Han and Aunt Lan who were still here, her expression eased a little, and she said: "Thanks to you for speaking for Chen'er today, a family should be like this." .”

Xie Han didn't get along with his grandmother very much, and he was not so scared when he heard that his grandmother was praising him, but he just didn't know what to say.

Aunt Lan saluted politely, and said softly, "This is what concubines should do."

The old lady Xie nodded in satisfaction, looked at her grandson who was not familiar with her in front of her, knew that today was his birthday, and asked someone to bring him the birthday gift prepared for him, and said kindly: "This is grandma Do you think you like the birthday gift prepared for you this year?"

Although Mrs. Xie is not close to Xie Han, she remembers his birthday every year and prepares gifts for him. This year, she gave him a good Zihao pen.

Xie Han looked at the Zihao brush in front of him, nodded and said, "Thank you grandma for thinking about it, my grandson likes it very much."

The old lady Xie has also paid more attention to Xie Han these days because of her gratitude. Knowing that Xie Han has a good temper, the more she looks at her, the more she likes her grandson. Your sister-in-law came to see grandma."

Xie Han was naturally willing to be close to his grandmother, and thanked the old lady with a smile on his face: "Han'er understands."

Seeing that Mrs. Xie still had something to say to Xie Chen, Aunt Lan pulled Xie Han away with a wink, leaving them a space to communicate alone.

After Aunt Lan and Xie Han left, the old lady Xie looked at Xie Chen lovingly, "Chen'er, you have been wronged all these years, your father is really confused and was deceived by Auntie."

Mrs. Xie has lived in the inner court for a long time, so she must know the means of disputes in the inner court. She can more or less guess what happened when Xie Wan fell into the water today, but she believes that this matter is definitely not planned by Xie Chen. It was some people who used their psychological schemes on Xie Chen to get such retribution.

"With grandma always by Chen'er's side, Chen'er is not wronged." Xie Chen shook his head, his almond eyes were still wet, and looked at the old lady Xie and said from the bottom of his heart, no matter what, she was from the Xie family, and the grandmother treated her well. Fortunately, she knew that for the sake of her grandmother she would not shame the Xie family.

Seeing this, the old lady Xie stroked Xie Chen's head, and lightly stroked it twice, the distress in her eyes became more obvious, "Good boy, good boy."

Xie Chen returned to his yard, his heart that had been hanging for a day was finally relieved.

Seeing the box that Gu Hengyu gave her today was on her dressing table, she walked over to open it,

Inside was a jade bracelet of excellent quality, Xie Chen recognized it at a glance, it was a phoenix blood jade bracelet, a handed down item from the Northern Qi Kingdom.

Now Yanzhao Kingdom, Southern Chu Kingdom, and Xiliang Kingdom are three kingdoms, but ten years ago, there was actually a very mysterious small country independent of the Three Kingdoms, Northern Qi Kingdom.

The Northern Qi State especially advocates the art of witchcraft, and believes in goddesses. All the goddesses of the past dynasties came from the royal family of Northern Qi. The phoenix blood jade bracelet has been passed down from generation to generation to prove the identity of the goddess. After the bracelet disappeared and the goddess disappeared, the hearts of the people of Northern Qi were not in harmony. At that time, Yan Zhao wiped out Northern Qi in one fell swoop and became the leader of the current Three Kingdoms.

Xie Chen looked at the phoenix blood jade bracelet in his hand, and was a little puzzled as to why the treasure that had disappeared for a long time was given to him by Gu Hengyu. He wanted to find the answer from his memory, but he was still young when the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed, and he only vaguely remembered that it seemed to be Gu Hengyu. Hengyu's father Guhou led troops to attack the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Could it be that Gu Hou Ye got it after his victory?Xie Chen has no way to know, so he can only give up.

Thinking that I might have thrown such an important thing out in a fit of anger in my previous life, I couldn't help feeling sorry for Gu Hengyu, but the phoenix blood jade bracelet was too conspicuous to be kept on my wrist all the time, so Xie Chen put it in again In the brocade box, I found a place to put it away.

After Gu Hengyu returned to the mansion, he received news from Dali Temple: Sun Shilang was kidnapped.

Gu Hengyu frowned. He had guessed early on that the people behind Sun Shilang would not let it go so easily and would definitely attack Sun Shilang, so he clearly sent Sun Shilang to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but secretly sent someone to Dali Temple Detained, the people under the cloth waited in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

But how could the person behind it know his plan and directly rob people from Dali Temple?Apart from himself, only the emperor knew about this matter, and he didn't have time to tell Shen Yuzhi.

Gu Hengyu carefully recalled that when he told the emperor about this plan, the Eunuch Li who served tea beside him was also the eunuch who followed him to the Sun Mansion to announce the decree.

Is it him?

"Master, do you still need to send someone to look for it?" the hidden guard asked Gu Hengyu from the side.

"No need." Gu Hengyu didn't send anyone to look for him. Sun Shilang was so sure that he would not die that day, and he must have the handle of the person behind him. How can a person let a person who has his own handle in his hand live.

At this time, in the residence of the Third Prince.

After Yan Yichen came back from the Xie Mansion, he changed his wet clothes and came to the study.

After walking to the bookshelves in the third row, I pushed open the secret door, and there was a dark path inside, and I don't know where it leads.

"You're back." In the darkness, a man sat there with his back to Yan Yichen and said aloud.

Walking from the path to the end, there is a room like a prison cell, filled with various instruments of torture, and the one who is tied to the rack is Sun Shilang, who disappeared today.

Yan Yichen looked at the bruised Sun Shilang, walked up to the man, and asked, "Why did you bring him here?"

Recently, Gu Hengyu was checking himself, and Yan Yichen didn't know that, at this time, he even brought someone here.

"Why, are you afraid?" The person opposite Yan Yichen asked in a sharp voice, with a strange ambiguity.

Yan Yichen went to the prime minister's mansion for a banquet today, in addition to wanting to let Xie Chen jump into his trap, another important reason was that he needed a sufficient alibi when he robbed the prison, but this person unexpectedly took Sun Shilang If you bring it into your own mansion, once it is discovered, all previous efforts will be wasted, and you may be charged with the crime of beheading.

Although Yan Yichen didn't speak, that person knew Yan Yichen was afraid from his expression, and sharp laughter rang out in the air, very creepy.

In the dark and damp dark room, there is only a small window on the wall. It is still night, and only the whistling wind outside can be heard. There is only one yellow kerosene lamp burning in the room, and the light on the man's face looks particularly dark. horrible.
