Chapter 316

"Still checking." Xie Zhaozhao rubbed Xie Huan's little head, "Huan'er, how did you get outside from Shuichangzhai, the window?"

"How does aunt know?"

Xie Huan choked on his water. He was still a little weak and looked bleak. "Did you guess it?"

"I went to the room where you were dressing and saw a silk thread from your clothes hanging on the window." Xie Zhaozhao asked softly, "Did someone coax you out, or was it you?"

"It's me, I didn't see anyone." Xie Huan leaned on Yu and said, "There was a very beautiful lion lantern outside the window. It looked so good, so I climbed out."

"Then I chased the lion lantern, and I didn't know who pushed me."

Mrs. Yu was very angry when she heard this.

Seeing that Xie Huan was weak, he didn't scream and scolded him, and coaxed the child softly.

Xie Zhaozhao walked out of the house, his eyes deep and dark, "Hongxia, does the married daughter of Marquis Jiangning have any children?"

"Is the lady talking about the one we saw just now?" Hongxia thought for a while, "There seems to be one who is about the same age as our young master... Didn't Su Yueming discuss marriage with the eldest young master back then..."

Hongxia lowered her voice and said, "It didn't work out, and she quickly married someone from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It seems that her surname was Jiang, and the child was born in the same year as our young master."

"I see."

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes grew colder, and he chuckled without warmth: "You're not a coward, and you're not lucky either."

If only Xie Huan is involved at this time, then the Xie family seeks justice from Jiang Ninghou and his daughter, but they also involve the child from Concubine Ning's palace. Even if the Xie family doesn't take action this time, I'm afraid Jiangning Hou will also be in bad luck. .

After Xie Huan rested for a while, Xie Wei and Yu left the palace with their children.

Xie Changyuan was very worried about the child's condition, but Chen Shulan couldn't move around freely, so he had to leave with his parents.

Xie Zhaozhao waited for Hongxiu to come back and asked, "Did you say it?"

"I have already told His Highness that he sent someone to check. He said that he would take care of the matter so that the young lady could go home safely."

Xie Zhaozhao thought for a while, took Hongxiu and Hongxia and left the palace.

……

Emperor Xuanwu asked Chen Wenzhuo to go to the imperial study and asked about some details of the battle between the northern Hebei army and the Turkic cavalry. Just as he was lamenting the extraordinary bravery of the King of Zhongshan, the eunuch said a few words to him.

This made Emperor Xuanwu's face light up with joy, and his gray eyebrows immediately wrinkled, "Are you awake?"

"I'm already awake, but it's autumn after all, and the river water is cold..."

Emperor Xuanwu frowned for a moment, then turned to Chen Wenzhuo: "My dear, you have had a hard journey, please settle down and rest first. I will announce your entry into the palace tomorrow."

"Yes."

Chen Wenzhuo bowed and left. He wanted to go find Chen Shulan, but when he came out, it was already too late.

Although Chen Shulan thanked her family for going back.

After Chen Wenzhuo felt depressed for a while, he had no choice but to take a short rest at the Beijing Post House arranged by officials from the Imperial Court's Ministry of Etiquette.

He roughly sensed that something happened in the palace tonight, but he didn't take it too seriously. When he returned to the post house, he immediately wrote a post and prepared it. He planned to deliver it to Xie's family early the next morning, and planned to pick up Chen Shulan first. come out.

After Chen Wenzhuo left, Emperor Xuanwu asked Chu He about the specific circumstances of falling into the water.

Eunuch Li whispered: "It seems to be related to Mrs. Jiang Zhong from the Ministry of Personnel——"

At that moment, Eunuch Li informed Emperor Xuanwu of the ins and outs he had found.

After hearing this, Emperor Xuanwu Long Yan was furious, "A wife of a small official family actually dares to do these little tricks in the palace, at my birthday banquet, to murder important ministers and heirs, it is simply audacious!"

Eunuch Li lowered his head, "Mrs. Jiangning Hou and Mr. Xie's family had some conflicts before because of their children's marriage, and now it's about accompanying students..."

"Wishful thinking." Emperor Xuanwu sneered and asked: "How is the child's condition now? Where is the imperial doctor who is treating him? Call him."

"Waiting outside, the old slave immediately called him in." Eunuch Li bowed and left. After a while, he came in with the imperial physician. The imperial physician reported Chu He's situation to Emperor Xuanwu: "The autumn water was cold, and the child had drowned. I have an old illness and my body can’t bear it anymore, so I’m afraid I’ll have to stay in bed for some time.”

Emperor Xuanwu's expression darkened.

The royal grandchildren were already weak in males. Although this He'er was seriously ill, fortunately he was also of royal blood, which made Emperor Xuanwu feel distressed.

For a moment, I felt even more angry.

He asked the imperial doctor to personally take care of Chu He's condition, and rewarded her with many good things. Because of this, he actually felt sorry for Concubine Ning, and even asked about the situation of Prince Liang's daughter Yunshan.

Later, he asked Eunuch Li to send someone to take good care of and educate Yunshan.

After the imperial doctor had retreated, Emperor Xuanwu called Eunuch Li over and said, "Go to the Jiang family in person to convey my instructions. Such a wicked woman is not worthy of being a wife of the clan."

……

After Xie Zhaozhao returned home, he checked Xie Huan's pulse and confirmed that Huan'er's physical condition was still stable, so the family felt a little relieved.

Xie Changyu personally carried the child back to Changfeng Garden and put it on the bed.

Yao Wanning had already heard that Xie Huan fell into the water in the palace, and she felt very distressed and sat on the bedside to coax him to sleep.

When Xie Huan fell asleep, he realized that Xie Changyu was missing.

"Grandma Fang, what do you want the eldest son to do?"

"I didn't say anything, I guess I have something to do... Girl, go to bed early."

"Oh……"

Yao Wanning was afraid that Xie Huan would be uncomfortable at night, so she slept with Xie Huan so that she could keep an eye on him at any time.

In the middle of the night, Yao Wanning noticed someone pulling on her. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw a tall black figure leaning over to hug her. She woke up in an instant and started struggling wildly.

But his hands and feet were quickly restrained by the man.

Yao Wanning was very familiar with the strength and the method of restraining her, and she blurted out in a low voice: "Young Master——"

"sleep."

Xie Changyu only said two words, picked up Yao Wanning and threw her inside. He slept on the outside and closed his eyes.

Yao Wanning bit her lip. She seemed used to being thrown around like this, so she didn't feel much pain.

She pulled the quilt to cover herself and Xie Huan, thought about it, and then hesitantly pulled a quilt for Xie Changyu to put on her body.

……

Early the next morning, Xie Zhaozhao got up and ordered people to inquire about the situation of Marquis Jiangning and the Jiang family.

In the afternoon, news came from Hongxiu that Su Shi, the daughter-in-law of Jiang's parents, was ill.

"It's a sudden illness. The situation is very bad." Hongxiu bit her lip and whispered, "Is she suddenly ill because of what happened last night?"

Xie Zhaozhao held a medical book in his hand, calmly turned a page, and asked again: "Where is the Jiangning Marquis Mansion?"

"There's nothing going on over there."

"Yes." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "Nothing will happen within a day or two, but it may not happen as time goes by."

Emperor Xuanwu, who founded the Qin Dynasty, was definitely a decisive person.

No one could make such a small move under his nose and escape unscathed.

The Marquis of Jiangning has not been favored by the emperor and disliked by the emperor in recent years. It is because of moderation. After this time, it may be difficult to stay in moderation.
