Chapter 208 Prince Ann's Thoughts

Prime Minister Xia's eyes lit up with flames, "If she didn't hurt my reputation, why would I want to do this?"

"If you didn't want to kill her for life, if you didn't want to force her every step of the way, would she do this to you? You go, I have been married to you for seventeen years, and I have never spoken to you in such a tone. This is the first time and the last time, husband and wife for seventeen years, I advise you, accumulate some virtues for your Xia family, and don't lose the blessings accumulated by your ancestors."

After Yuan finished speaking, she said to Nanny Yang: "Before I move out of Xia Zhi Yuan, no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion is allowed to disturb me. If someone steps into Xia Zhi Yuan, let Xiao Dao drive him out."

"Yes!" Nanny Yang really looked at Yuan Shi with admiration, and she felt more and more that her decision to follow Zian was a correct decision.

Prime Minister Xia looked at Zi'an with cruelty and viciousness in his eyes. Under the influence of alcohol, he did not hide his resentment at all, and told Zi'an that he wanted her to die.

Zi'an was not afraid at all, the two were father and daughter, as if they were staring at each other before the duel, and no one backed down.

Prime Minister Xia finally took a deep look at Yuan Shi without saying a word, then turned and left.

He walked resolutely, and the moment he turned around, his eyes were covered with ice, and he was no longer at a loss.

Zi'an turned his head, reached out to hug Yuan Shi, and was deeply moved by Yuan Shi's stepping forward to protect her.

Yuan Shi patted her on the back lightly, her voice couldn't express sadness, "If I had been earlier..."

She didn't go on, but Zian knew that if she had been tougher earlier, her daughter would not have died.

Yuan's original state of mind was disheartened, not giving in or enduring, but just hopeless about everything, but she didn't think about her daughter, because of this, she will never forgive herself in this life.

Yuan Shi and Prime Minister Xia reconciled, no, now it's time to speak Yuan Cuiyu, she is no one's Yuan Shi now.

The reconciliation between Yuan Cuiyu and Prime Minister Xia was soon known by Prince An's Mansion.

It was Murong Zhuangzhuang who told him.

He was feeding the carp at that time, when he heard Zhuang Zhuang's words, he raised his head, took a look at Zhuang Zhuang, "Yeah."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhuang Zhuang stepped forward, "What are you going to do?"

Prince An glanced at her again, "What should I do?"

"She is free now, and divorced." Murong Zhuangzhuang said patiently.

"Yeah!" He hummed again, and then fed the fish food into the lake.

"Hey, my little second prince, tell me what you think in your heart." Murong Zhuangzhuang snatched the fish food from his hand, and dumped it all into the lake.

Prince An watched the fish rushing to eat the fish food, shook his head and said, "What's the fun in feeding the fish like this?"

"Fuck your fun, let me ask you, you have waited for her for so many years, she is no longer Mrs. Xiangye, she is Miss Yuan again, what are you going to do? How many years has the Empress Dowager worried about your marriage? You just reply with the word um? Are you trying to piss her off?" Zhuang Zhuang yelled with his hips on his hips.

Prince An squinted at her, "It's like the queen mother never worried about you."

Zhuang Zhuang was stunned, "What is my business to you? Now it's your business, don't change the subject, what do you do, I will fully cooperate, or I will go to the palace immediately to find the empress dowager, and let her make a decree to marry you .”

After speaking, she will leave.

Prince An stretched out his hand to hold her, his handsome face was a bit distressed, "Don't go."

Zhuang Zhuang looked at him, "Then tell me, what are you going to do?"

Prince An let go, frowned and thought for a while, "I don't know."

"What don't you know? What about your swift and resolute fighting spirit? Pick it up and bravely pursue your love." Zhuang Zhuang said excitedly.

Prince An shook his head, "Since I was a child, I have actively fought for what I want. In order to achieve my goal, I will do whatever it takes. But, little aunt, you should understand that there are some people that you have to be careful about." To maintain and take into account all her feelings, do you think she will be willing to accept a relationship again now?"

"If you haven't tried it, how do you know it won't work? Maybe she is willing to accept you?"

Prince An looked at Zhuang Zhuang, his eyes were open and bright, "I know her as I know myself, little aunt, I have been waiting for many years, and in the process of waiting, I never thought that I would wait, so, I I really don’t care about giving her some more days to let her completely come out of the haze of Xiangfu. However, I will still tell her that I am still waiting for her, this time not waiting for her to be free, but to wait for her to accept life again .”

Zhuang Zhuang was a little depressed, "I thought you would go to her right away, how many people are looking forward to your well-being."

"Believe me, no one is more urgent than myself." Prince An reached out and patted her on the shoulder, his eyes still bright, "It's worth it, some people are worth waiting for all your life."

Zhuang Zhuang turned his head almost quickly, tears welled up in his eyes, she had no one to wait for, she used to love someone so much that she lost her self-esteem, but in the end, she could only watch helplessly as he put The most beloved maid by his side married away.

On the day they got married, the maid was getting married from the princess mansion, she saw him riding a white horse, so handsome and mighty, with clear features, just like in her dream.

However, he didn't come to marry her, he just married her maid.

From that day on, she never allowed herself to get drunk once, because she knew that when she was drunk, she would miss someone crazily, and she couldn't bear this kind of missing, nor could she bear this kind of heartache.

There are a few scars on her wrist, which are a knife for her to wake up when she can't bear it, and don't let her heart be broken.

The second child is happy, he can still wait, it is still possible to wait now, why should he act urgently? Since he is willing to spend his whole life protecting a person, he doesn't care about day and night.

Prince An stretched out his hand, stroked Zhuang Zhuang's hair, and said softly: "Little aunt, it's time to put it down."

"I've put it down long ago." Zhuang Zhuang's voice revealed an unspeakable heartbreak.

"If you let it go, you won't be playing around in the world like this these years." Prince An sighed softly. He really felt sorry for his little aunt and was also angry with that person.

"It has nothing to do with him, some people," Zhuang Zhuang raised his head, looking at the slowly ripples on the lake, "it will take you a lifetime to know that you really have nothing to do with him, and then, you won't let go until you, because, you are going to die , let everything go.”

"Sometimes, this king really wants to kill him." Prince An looked at the heartbreak on Murong Zhuangzhuang's face with distress, almost gnashing his teeth.

Zhuang Zhuang raised his head and smiled sadly, "Okay, you go and kill him for me, and then I can die too."

"Nonsense!" Prince An angrily reprimanded.

Murong Zhuangzhuang stroked his chest, laughed heartlessly, but shed tears, and sighed a long time, "Yes, I'm talking nonsense."

However, if you die, your heart will not hurt.

Prince An looked at her, and really couldn't bear to tell the news, but it seemed that she needed time to prepare mentally, "Little aunt, he is coming back."

Murong Zhuangzhuang's body trembled slightly, and after a long time, he said: "En."

Yes, I return to Beijing once every three years to report on my work, and this is the third year.

She strode away and waved her hand, "I'm leaving."

Prince An picked up the plate with fish food on the ground, shook his head lightly, "Murong's family, please show love."

As soon as he turned around, a guard jumped in and looked at Prince An with a smile on his face, "My lord, guess what news this subordinate has received?"

Prince An strode away.

The guards chased after him, "Miss Yuan is reconciled, reconciled!"

Prince Ann strode forward again.

The guards were stunned, the prince who was so happy just left like this? Have you changed your mind after waiting for so many years?

The next day, the yamen really came to the door.

During the questioning, Prime Minister Xia was also present. He stared at Zi'an for fear that Zi'an would say Xia Quan's last words, but Zi'an kept his promise and didn't say anything.

Ximen Xiaoyue did not admit to arson, but admitted that she ordered someone to invite the fire dragon.

Ximen Xiaoyue's mother, Mrs. Li, spent a lot of money to bribe one of the fire dragon dancers to admit that he set fire to the new house. In this way, the reputation of their fire dragon team can be protected, so that it will not be spread, and the big families will not invite them again in the future.

The yamen preliminarily concluded that the fire in the side room was accidental, while the fire in the new house was deliberately set on fire.

Of course, this is only a preliminary conclusion, and the investigation will continue, because there are too many doubts.

Jin Guogong couldn't bear the crying of Li Shi and Ximen Xiaoyue, so he had to go to the palace to find the queen.

The queen didn't say that Master Cui would be favoritism, but said that since the yamen initially determined that the fire in the side room was an accident, then it would be fine to punish the person who intentionally set fire to the new house to calm things down.

Master Cui saw that this incident only involved the Xiangfu and the Duke's Mansion, and did not cause any harm to others, and knowing that this was an internal struggle in the Xiangfu, he decided to close the case because he did not want to waste manpower on such a conspiracy in the mansion. Calculated.

Ximen Xiaoyue was sentenced to three months' imprisonment because of careless hiring and failure to strengthen protection, which caused the Prime Minister's Mansion to catch fire and injured people's lives.

In fact, the so-called joint liability is just that the yamen is too lazy to think of other excuses. Anyway, everyone knows that Ximen Xiaoyue has an inescapable responsibility for the fire. It's March.

As for Ximen Xiaoqing in the wounding case, because the imperial doctor confirmed that he had suffered from madness a few years ago, although he improved after treatment, he had seizures from time to time. The eldest lady Xia Zi'an was on the other side of the rockery. In order to avoid the responsibility of the crime, she actually had malicious intentions to blame Zi'an.

Master Cui naturally knew that this matter was not that simple, but the prince was involved, so it was fine to confess to Prince Li, a witness, in order to save face.

But Prince Li read the files submitted by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and saw that the imperial doctor determined that Ximen Xiaoqing was insane, he was a person who authenticated the evidence, and he only looked at the evidence, so the Ministry of Criminal Justice decided to deal with it as appropriate.

Ximen Xiaoqing was sentenced to one year in prison.

The quick resolution of this matter was within everyone's expectations.

As long as Zian and Liang don't testify against each other and only rely on superficial evidence, it will be difficult for Ximen Xiaoyue to be charged with arson and murder.

Although the Taibao analyzed the case, he did not fully inform the Yamen of the case that he asked at the Duke's Mansion that day, as he said.

He saved a hand and ordered someone to sort out the confession of that day, send it to the Duke of Jin, and stamp his own seal. This is to warn the Duke of Jin that this is the last chance to let the Duke of Jin not be a demon. .

This was the first time in Taibao's life that he was acting selfishly. As he got older, his heart was not as hard as before. He was exhausted physically and mentally after watching the children in his clan continue to decline.

As for this file, the Taibao also sent someone to send a copy to Yuan Shi. In the file, the whole story of the Xiangfu's involvement in the fire case was deduced by him, and it was very accurate.

If this file is made public, let alone the crime of being able to enter the Xiangfu, it will be enough to ruin the Xiangfu's reputation.

Because those were the words of the most famous minister in the dynasty, and what he said were closely related to the facts.

The reason for sending it to Yuan Shi was that the Taibao felt guilty, and he felt that he had already considered favoritism.

And there are so many things said in this file, it only shows one fact, that is a conspiracy trap set by Prime Minister Xia and the old lady in order to kill Xia Zian.

Out of guilt, the Taibao gave Yuan this dossier, which was actually equivalent to giving Yuan a compensation.

This incident, which was supposed to be a big deal, calmed down because of their own thoughts.

Everything is within Zian's expectation, it is impossible for Liang to testify against Ximen Xiaoyue, because even though she hates Ximen Xiaoyue and the Duke's Mansion, her sons and daughters are all from the Duke's Mansion, if the Duke's Mansion Really declined, which means that their future is also gone.

Especially Ximen Xiaoqing is still in prison now, if he is dragged down by the Duke's mansion, his future will be bleak.

This is the selfish and great mind of being a mother.

Forcing Prime Minister Xia to divorce Ximen Xiaoyue, this is already the biggest revenge against Ximen Xiaoyue.

Liang's aggressiveness is only seen by others, she has always been soft on the hearts of the people in the Duke's Mansion.

If Liang didn't say anything, Zi'an knew that if he said it, he would have no chance of winning. Since she can't take down Prime Minister Xia and the old lady with full confidence, she doesn't need to waste time and effort.

In the summer solstice garden.

Chen Liuliu is bored now, because Xiao Tuo and Murong Jie left the capital.

"Ni Rong is fine, but I didn't ask him where Xiao Tuo went. Where did you say he and the prince went? Why haven't you come back?" Chen Liuliu asked Zian with her chin in her hand.

Zi'an said without raising his head: "If he can leave his political affairs and go out for a few days, he must have something important to do. Just wait a little longer, they won't be able to go for a few days."

Chen Liuliu looked worried, "That's right, but I'm different from you, Zian, I don't have many days left."

Zi'an originally wanted to tell her that fate is sometimes in his own hands, but thinking of the things he traveled through and all the things he faced after coming to ancient times, it would be ridiculous to say this again.

"It will get better, give me some confidence in yourself." Zian comforted, and continued to draw.

Chen Liuliu leaned over, "What the hell are you drawing? You have been drawing since I came in, oh my god, Zian, you are so shameless, why did you draw a man without clothes? I'll see, I'll see."

"Shut up, don't yell." Zi'an wanted to cover her big mouth.
