The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 155 Disposal (addition)
Deng Xian didn't know why his master suddenly made such a request, he hesitated for a while, "How can I trouble the general to make a trip, you go to have dinner first, and the younger one invites father."

"No need." Xiao Jingtian waved his hand to stop his proposal.He has no appetite at all, some things are not clear, and he has trouble sleeping and eating.

The old butler lived in the alley behind the General's Mansion, and it didn't take long to get there.

"Master, why are you here?"

The old butler was very surprised by Xiao Jingtian's arrival.He has been with the old general since he was a child, and his friendship has long surpassed that of master and servant.When the old general was dying, he had asked him to take good care of Xiao Jingtian, but Mrs. Lin was determined to drive him away from taking over the power of the family. He had a straightforward temper, and because of his poor health, he had to leave the house for the elderly.

Fortunately, Xiao Jingtian later promoted his son to be a housekeeper, which can be regarded as living up to the old general's dying entrustment.

Xiao Jingtian looked at the man in front of him who had been supporting his father for the rest of his life, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Deng Xian cleverly said: "Father, let's talk in the house first."

"Look at my stupidity!" The old housekeeper patted his head and hurriedly invited people into the room.

Deng's house is a small courtyard with two entrances and two exits, and it is well organized.

Sitting in the living room of Deng's house, Xiao Jingtian held the tea made by the old housekeeper, and said hesitantly, "Uncle Deng, I recently heard some grievances about my father and the late emperor. I want to know what happened."

The old butler was taken aback, he knew that the old lady had a deep resentment towards the old general, and she often instilled some hatred towards the old general and the former emperor in the young master.He also knew about the various conflicts between Xiao Jingtian and Ning Yuezhao that had been raging in the imperial capital recently.

The old steward also confirmed from his son that Mrs. Lin was taken into the palace by the emperor for the reason of "recovering from illness". The capital to challenge the royal family is not even considered by the current emperor.The emperor just put her under house arrest in the palace for the sake of the loyalty of the Xiao family for generations.

Now that Xiao Jingtian is willing to come to him to understand what happened back then, it shows that he has not been completely deceived by Lin's gossip.

The old butler cheered up immediately, "Master, wait a minute."

After finishing speaking, the old housekeeper got up and went back to the bedroom. Not long after, he came out with an envelope with burn marks.

Xiao Jingtian was also shocked when he saw the envelope.

"Uncle Deng, you still keep it after so many years..."

Because he was dissatisfied with his father back then, when Xiao Pingyuan was dying, he threw himself into the conflict with Bei Qi and did not come back to see him for the last time.

When he returned home for the funeral, the old housekeeper handed Xiao Pingyuan's last letter to him, but he locked the letter and threw it into the brazier on the mourning hall. He snatched the letter out, and the old housekeeper still has the scars from the burns on his hand.

He had long forgotten that there was such a letter, but what Ning Yuezhao said today made him want to understand the truth back then.

Maybe it was destined long ago, but this letter was kept by the old housekeeper.

"This old slave has always believed that the young master will read this letter one day!"

After reading all the letters, Xiao Jingtian felt that he was holding his breath in his chest.

In the letter, Xiao Pingyuan expressed his guilt towards their mother and son. He thought he could give up his feelings for the queen and be a filial son who obeyed the family arrangement, but in the end he deeply hurt the two women.

Lin is domineering and stalking because he cared about other women and alienated her, which caused her to be full of resentment, and eventually his words and deeds were extreme.

The son was also rebellious because he belonged to discipline and failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a human being.

As for the empress, she is the woman he loves most in this life, but he neither has the courage to give up everything and go far away with her, nor can he protect her well.He hurt her deeply, and the former emperor's husband died young because of his hesitation, leaving the queen and princess orphans and widows.

He hoped that Xiao Jingtian would not go down in his future, and would not be dissatisfied with the Ning family, all the faults were his alone.

Either be free and give up military power, or inherit the loyalty of the Xiao family and abandon prejudice against the royal family.

"Young master, although these old slaves are not with the general, I know that you are not convinced by the current emperor. I believe that you have no objections, but what about others?"

"The current emperor is also a benevolent and generous master. Otherwise, if it is any emperor, how can the young master be allowed to be presumptuous in front of the emperor several times?"

"The old slave did not read many books, but he had also heard stories about Lian Po and Lin Xiangru. Lian Po was dissatisfied that Lin Xiangru was just a civil servant, but he was a senior doctor, and threatened to humiliate him in front of others. At that time, Zhao Guo was surrounded by strong enemies. Lin Xiangru puts the country's righteousness first. In order to avoid discord and give foreign enemies an opportunity, he would rather lose his reputation than avoid Lian Po. Although Lian Po is arrogant, he is also a person who corrects when he knows his mistakes , This is the story of pleading guilty."

"The young master is a rare warrior in this world. I believe you will not understand how unfavorable it will be to Daxing if you continue to compete with His Majesty for a long time."

The old housekeeper's words were completely from the bottom of his heart, he really hoped that Xiao Jing would be well.

After Xiao Jingtian finished listening, he didn't say anything for a long time, but just put the last letter in his arms.

"Uncle Deng, give me some time to think about it."

After leaving Deng's house, Xiao Jingtian felt the cold wind blowing on his face, as if it was slapping his face.

What Ning Yuezhao said in Fengxian Hall today was true, and she sincerely hoped to shake hands with him to make peace, but he refuted her mercilessly.

When returning to the mansion, the servant said in a panic: "General, someone came from the palace just now."

Xiao Jingtian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Where's the person?"

The servant said respectfully: "The man only conveyed His Majesty's oral order, saying that you can enter the palace to visit Madam whenever you want."

Xiao Jingtian looked at the empty courtyard and said after a long time, "I see."

What a soft-hearted woman!

In the palace, Ning Yuezhao knelt in Fengxian Hall until night fell.

Bitao stepped into the hall, saw the body kneeling upright in the dark, and said distressedly: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? If the former emperor and the former emperor's husband Quan Xia knew, I don't know how to feel distressed!"

After speaking, she hurried over to help Ning Yuezhao.When Ning Yuezhao went to court, she ordered no one to follow her. She had something important to discuss with the general.It happened to be the end of the year, and there were a lot of trivial matters in the palace. After Bitao finished dealing with it, she found that it was already dark. The palace servants of the Dragon Palace said that His Majesty hadn't come back yet, so she came here.

Ning Yuezhao's legs were numb from kneeling, and then Bi Tao got up slowly with all her strength.Today's conversation with Xiao Jingtian aroused endless guilt in her heart.If she hadn't been obsessed with An Chen at that time, how could her mother have died so early.Not only Xiao Jingtian, but everyone in the world felt that she was an emperor with terrible personal morality, and it was Jiang Nian who cleaned up the mess for her in the end.

Bitao hurriedly sent someone to bring a stool, let her sit down, and massaged her legs herself.

"Your Majesty, take it easy, the dragon chariot is already outside the hall."

"Where's Jiang Nian?" Ning Yuezhao was a little surprised, why only Bitao came.

Bitao sighed softly, "Your Highness was discussing political affairs with several adults in the Palace of Political Affairs in the afternoon, but just now the palace servants came to report that the ministers had left the palace half an hour ago, but His Highness didn't know where they went. to find it?"

While talking, a little eunuch hurried in, "See Your Majesty, the servant has found out. After discussing the matter with several adults next night, the emperor went to Qiuliang Garden with Commander Zuo. The guard in the palace said that he saw The guards of the Imperial Army brought the criminal An Chen into Qiuliang Garden."

Ning Yuezhao once promised Jiang Nian that An Chen would be at his disposal, regardless of life or death, and now it seemed that Jiang Nian was going to do something.

The blood in the legs slowly flowed back under Bitao's gentle massage, and Ning Yuezhao felt that she could walk, so she stood up.

"I'm going to Qiuliang Garden, don't put up a guard of honor."

Bitao looked at her in surprise, "Your Majesty, you haven't had a meal all day, why don't you go back to the palace and have dinner first, and I will send someone to inquire about the news."

"No need, hasn't the imperial husband eaten yet? I'm going to find him, and we can go back together after he's done with his affairs." She still wanted to know what Jiang Nian would do with An Chen.

Qiuliangyuan, the place where Jiang spent his last time in his previous life.

No one has cleaned this place for many years, and it is still as dilapidated and desolate as in memory.

Zuo Ming didn't understand why Jiang Nian wanted to take him to the inner palace to deal with him. In his opinion, this person should be executed by hacking and cutting.

"Just go in alone." Jiang Nian said calmly, pushing open the heavy door.

The room was dark except for a dim kerosene lamp.

Jiang Nian glanced at the people in the footsteps with an unclear expression, overlapping with himself in memory.

He used to eat cold and moldy food, hoping that his father would rescue him, but what he waited for was the imperial decree to kill him and the Jiang family.

It's funny to say that, in his life, he has never met An Chen alone.

A few days ago, Fu Liao had already refined the drug of mental addiction from the fruit of the poppy.Zuo Ming immediately ordered people to mix these medicinal powders into An Chen's daily meals.

During the few days when An Chen was imprisoned, Zuo Ming sent people to torture him with various tortures.Although Jiang Nian had ordered that he should not be tortured anymore, Zuo Ming did not send anyone to give him a proper diagnosis and treatment, but just kept him alive with medicine.

Now An Chen's clothes are thin, his lips are purple from the cold in the cold palace, his body is wounded, and his whole body is very weak.

Seeing Jiang Nian coming in, An Chen's eyes moved, and he sat up with his knees crossed. The floor was damp and cold. His meridians were sealed with gold needles, but he still sat upright.

An Chen looked at Jiang Nian with a gloomy face, and smiled, "You came much later than I expected, she has resumed your position of imperial concubine, right? I thought you would be eager to show off victory."

Jiang Nian looked at him coldly, did he think everyone was as shallow as him?

An Chen continued to smile, "Is this going to send me on my way? I don't know which way of death you chose for me?"

Jiang Nian's gaze was as cold as ice, and he slowly opened his lips, "Life is better than death."

As his words fell, An Chen suddenly felt his whole body trembling uncontrollably, and yawned unceasingly, as if all his energy was drained in an instant, as if ants were gnawing at his bones, which made him never Unable to maintain the sitting posture, the whole person rolled to the ground, sweating unceasingly.

He folded his hands on his chest and said with difficulty, "You...what did you...to me!"
