Chitose words

Wu Ruoshu stood up immediately after hearing the words, her delicate and beautiful face almost eclipsed her color, and an imperceptible alertness flashed in her eyes.

After two breaths, she asked in a low voice with uncontrollable trembling:

"You, how did you know? Could it be that you have something to do with my father's unjust case?

Could it be that you appeared here to save me today intentionally? "

Xie Zhao sighed inwardly.

It seemed that Wu Ruoshu no longer needed to answer her words, because her reaction at this time was already the answer.

Xie Zhao shook his head gently and said honestly:

"Miss Wu, it is indeed a coincidence that I and my friend appear here today, and we did not deliberately seek to get close to you.

As for your father's affairs, I only know it based on some clues. Don't be so nervous. "

Wu Ruoshu was startled, and then subconsciously loosened her tightly clasped fingers.

But for a moment, he was still as trembling as a frightened bird.

Seeing how alert she was, Xie Zhao didn't push her too much, he just murmured to himself:

".So, there really was an imperial edict."

She had this guess before, naturally because she had actually met Wu Yong several times in her early years.

Although I dare not say that I fully understand it, I am still a person who knows the basics.

Wu Yongnai was an old member of the Xie Jiajun, and the Xie Jiajun had always run the army very strictly.

It stands to reason that anyone who could later sit in a position like Wu Yong's was not a person who lived up to his reputation in the Xie family army.

Moreover, as far as Xie Zhao knew, Wu Yong had done a good job in controlling floods in the southwest many years ago during the reign of the late emperor, and his official power was prominent.

Later, he went through several promotions and gradually became the Southwest Inspector guarding one side.

Emperor Jing, who was still the prince at that time, was very optimistic about this capable official who was not afraid of hard work.

Therefore, if Wu Yong is not someone who is suspicious of the king, then this kind of person is definitely someone who is ordered to do things for the king's father.

Just because he committed suicide after being escorted to Beijing, His Majesty would be so furious, we know that his "errand" must have been done to the emperor's dissatisfaction.

——And maybe he had a secret plan, or even acted with the emperor, which made Emperor Jing so furious.

It can be seen from this that if Wu Yong's death was really "unjust", then the imperial edict, which is not humane to outsiders, is the key to the truth.

just

Xie Zhao frowned slightly.

Since Wu Ruoshu had been escorted to Beijing, she must have been searched when she was traveling in the southwest, so it was naturally impossible for her to hide the so-called "imperial edict" with her.

Even if it was for the safety of his daughter, Wu Yong would most likely not leave such a fatal thing to Wu Ruoshu for safekeeping.

After all, she was really young and had been raised in a boudoir since she was a child, with no ability to protect herself.

If this thing is in Wu Ruoshu's hands, it will be like a reminder for her.

——Since she can't keep this life-threatening thing, she can't keep her own life either.

Therefore, as long as Wu Yong had not lost his mind, he would not have made this bad move.

Xie Zhao sighed: "Presumably the imperial edict that Lord Wu was ordered to execute and keep was finally handed over to Ling Ci by Lord Wu, right?"

Sure enough, Wu Ruoshu looked confused and said:

"Actually, I don't know either. My mother just accidentally learned that my father has been doing something secretly according to the above metaphor.

It's just that my mother and I have no idea what exactly my father's mission was, and my father has never revealed anything to my mother.

Even my father abides by the law and does things according to orders, and would never be associated with gangsters.

I only heard my mother talk about it the night before her death - Miss Xie, do you think my father's unjust case is related to the errand he was doing before? "

Xie Zhao fell silent.

This is indeed what she imagined, but Wu Ruoshu's current situation of being incomprehensible makes it impossible to prove many things, let alone find the truth.

But she didn't quite understand that when Fu Jingyan was still the prince, he was an extremely hard-working and diligent prince. Later, after he succeeded to the throne and became the emperor, he was even more diligent, diligent and caring for the people. If the emperor severely punished and forced to death a capable official who had guarded the border for many years and worked diligently because of personal reasons, or just because of some minor tasks that were not important to him, Xie Zhao thought about this possibility and felt that There seems to be something fishy about it.

Xie Zhao has been in a high position for so many years and has already developed a habit.

That is, if she is not sure about something, she will never speak easily.

Hearing Wu Ruoshu's question at this time, Xie Zhao just said softly:

"Ms. Wu, this matter is very important. I need to think about it again. I can't give you any suggestions or answers now."

She looked at Wu Ruoshu's slightly disappointed face and suddenly said:

"However, regarding another matter about Miss Wu, Xie can give you some advice.

For Miss Wu, it can be regarded as a temporary solution to the current predicament. "

Wu Ruoshu was slightly stunned when she heard this.

"Another thing? Miss Xie is referring to."

Xie Zhao said softly: "About how Miss Wu settled down in the Jiaofang Division."

Wu Ruoshu's whole body trembled when this matter was mentioned. She seemed to subconsciously reject the topic of "Jiaofangsi".

But Xie Zhao still looked at her steadily and said frankly:

"Miss Wu, with all due respect, you cannot avoid this matter.

What the young lady has experienced today will continue to happen again in the future.

Mr. Cui can help you for a while, but he may not be able to help you forever, and the same is true for us. "

Xie Zhao didn't speak too clearly, but he expected Wu Ruoshu to understand what she meant.

Now, just Xue Songyuan, a mere dandy of the Xue family in Hedong, could make Cui Yue return home defeated and defeated. What if there are other more powerful people who also fall in love with Wu Ruoshu in the future?

It would be fine if the nobleman who fell in love with Wu Ruoshu was just a descendant of a noble family.

At least Wu Ruoshu was bound to the royal family after all, and her life and death were not decided by the guests. If things went wrong, she would not lose her life.

But what if the nobleman who likes Wu Ruoshu is from the royal family?

Just like today's Princess Pingyang, Wu Ruoshu didn't even have a chance to resist the rejection.

What's more, she can't count on Cui Yuechi for the rest of her life?

Qinghe Cui's current indifferent attitude made it clear that her family would never be involved in the affairs of the Wu family and her daughter again.

——No matter what kind of friendship the two families had before, they will just be strangers from now on.

Although these words are cold, they are an indisputable fact.

And what about Cui Yuechi?

Can he really resist the pressure of his family, hang out in this flower-filled building all day long, and protect Wu Ruoshu for the rest of his life as a rich man who lives a mediocre and chaotic life?

It's not that Xie Zhao underestimates their friendship, it's just that Xie Zhao was precocious and was born in the palace.

She has seen too many conflicts over the interests of noble families, and even more so, the fickleness and changeability of people's hearts.

Is this the case for an emperor, let alone a noble son like Cui Yuechi who has never established his own family and still relies on his family to take care of him?

There is an inappropriate saying that goes very well: there is no dutiful son in bedside for a long time.

If Wu Ruoshu only knows how to cry in this flower-filled building, one day the relationship between them will fade away and become nothing more than feathers on the ground.

After all, they are too young, just teenagers.

Moreover, the two families were very polite in the past, and the two of them rarely saw each other.

In fact, it is impossible to say that Cui Yuechi has a deep affection for Wu Ruoshu and is dependent on her for life and death.

Nowadays, Cui Yuechi's desperate efforts to protect each other are more due to youthful spirit than the so-called deep love.

This is cruel and cruel, but it is true.
