Newlyweds divorced: Marry a scumbag and his brother is sweet and have a baby

"Yechi, you block the back door, Xiaoliu, you guard the front door."

After Xie Huaijing finished speaking, Yan Qing took the initiative and said, "I'll go to the side door."

Xie Huaijing nodded, "The rest of you come in with me, you have to live!"

"Yes, son."

Xie Huaijing has been busy with the Mu family army recently and has no time to see Shen Yan.

However, he was always paying attention to Shen Yan.

When rumors about Shen Yan's life began to appear in the city, he knew about it immediately and sent people to investigate as soon as possible.

The same goes for Yan Qing.

His heart only contains his family, country, world and Shen Yan, and Shen Yan's happiness, anger, sorrow and joy are also his.

After Xie Huaijing finished his instructions, everyone took action immediately.

inside the house.

"Second brother, we have made such a great contribution this time, what reward do you think your lord will give us?"

"My lord has said that as long as the matter is accomplished and Princess Anping's reputation is ruined, he will give us more money than we can use in three lifetimes."

"Brother, we are developed, haha..."

In the room, the two brothers, one tall and one short, were gnawing on chicken legs, drinking wine, and thinking about a bright future. They did not realize that the danger was coming quietly.

Only a few hours had passed since they started spreading rumors, and there was a huge crowd. Who knew that the source of the rumors would be the two brothers?

There are so many people in the capital, and rumors are flying all over the sky. Even if they want to be investigated, it will be impossible to find them in less than ten days and a half.

By the time the traces were found on them, they would have fled far away.

When Xie Huaijing kicked open the door, the two people in the room looked shocked, and the chicken legs in their mouths fell to the ground instantly.

"Who are you? Why did you come here?" The short brother reacted and asked loudly.

The taller brother reacted faster. He stared at Xie Huaijing and touched the knife beside him, ready to kill at any time.

"Bring the portrait!" Xie Huaijing ordered his subordinates.

The subordinate handed over the portrait. Xie Huaijing looked at the portrait and then at the two people in front of him. After confirming that he had caught them correctly, he said sternly, "Arrest him!"

"Second brother, draw your sword and fight out!" The tall brother quickly raised his sword and slashed directly at Xie Huaijing.

Before the knife in his hand could fall, Xie Huaijing raised his leg and kicked him, sending him flying several meters away.

But in an instant, Xie Huaijing was in front of him, holding his sword against his neck.

"take away!"

The short brother reacted slowly, and by the time he realized what was going on, he had already been caught.

In less than a cup of tea, Xie Huaijing led someone to escort the two of them out of the yard.

Time was urgent, and they did not dare to delay for a moment, so they rushed into the palace with the two brothers.

When Xie Huaijing and others arrived at the door of the imperial study, they happened to hear Nan Bancang say that Shen Yan would be arrested to prevent her from escaping.

His expression was as cold as thousand-year-old ice, and the moment he stepped into the palace, his voice rang out.

"General Nan, you want to arrest my son's fiancée? Who gave you the courage?"

Nan Bancang's expression changed when he saw Xie Huaijing coming in, and there was no longer the contempt in his eyes.

In their view, Xie Huaijing lived so unscrupulously only because of his father's meritorious service and Emperor Xuande's protection.

But ever since Xie Huaijing joined the Mu family army alone, defeated the Mu family army without a single soldier, and captured the general Mu Wenhua, they no longer dared to look down on him.

"Your Majesty, there are rumors flying all over the world. If you want to prove that Princess Anping's life experience is correct, you can't find the person who originated the rumors." Nan Bancang relied on Shen Yan to be at a disadvantage now. No matter how much Xie Huaijing protected Shen Yan, he couldn't put it aside. How dare he speak like this?

"General Nan has put the prince in a difficult position. How can it be so easy to find the source of the rumors in such a short period of time in such a huge capital?" Ning Zhengxun looked at Xie Huaijing and asked with a smile, "My dear nephew, Am I right?"

Xie Huaijing glanced at Ning Zhengxun and said, "Mr. Zhen Guo, what you can't do doesn't mean that I can't do it. If you're not capable, don't force yourself. Go home when you should, so as not to lose face."

Ning Zhengxun's face was red, his eyes were widened with anger, and his beard was trembling.

"Your Majesty, the Duke is old, and everyone gets old. Isn't it disrespectful for you to speak to your elders like this?" Yan Chonghou helped. After all, their families are on the same front.

Their families would work independently when they were evading the imperial power for their own benefit, but when facing the royal family, they would become one again.

"Is Shangshu Yan teaching me how to do things?" Xie Huaijing said in a sharp tone.

"I don't dare." Yan Chonghou said he didn't dare, but his expression was very arrogant.

On the surface, their family was respectful, but privately they didn't even take Emperor Xuande seriously, so why should they be afraid of a prince?

"Ability and age are never necessarily related. Yan Shangshu is not very old, but he is as useless as the Duke of Zhen!" Xie Huaijing's eyes were cold and stern.

Yan Chonghou's face turned red, he was angry at being scolded by Xie Huaijing for being useless despite his age.

Xie Huaijing continued, "According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, the following offenses will be punished with twenty rods. Shangshu Yan will go and receive the punishment himself. Otherwise, I don't mind doing it myself!"

Yan Chonghou's face was livid. Even Emperor Xuande didn't dare to punish him just because he said so. How dare Xie Huaijing?

However, no matter how arrogant he is, his identity is still a minister. On the surface, he cannot surpass the imperial power.

"I will accept my punishment on my own." Yan Chonghou walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

For a moment, there was silence in the imperial study room, and the ministers did not dare to talk anymore.

Xie Huaijing punished Yan Chonghou, but Emperor Xuande didn't say anything, which proved that he agreed.

What Emperor Xuande wants is not to simply punish these aristocratic families, what he wants is to completely destroy these aristocratic families.

Therefore, he never punished them easily. He always accumulated evidence bit by bit, and when the time was right, he would make a fatal move.

Of course, he would never refute Xie Huaijing's punishment of Yan Chonghou. He would tell the world his position through actions.

"Huai Jing, you are here just in time. Take people to investigate immediately and find out the source of the rumors quickly!" Emperor Xuande spoke to break the depression in the imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, the source has been found and the people who spread the rumors have been brought in," Xie Huaijing said.

"Great! Bring people in!" Emperor Xuande was overjoyed.

The courtiers looked shocked, Xie Huaijing was so fast? Sure enough, the tiger father had no dog son, and the King of Zhennan was so famous, how could his son be so bad?

Nan Bancang looked embarrassed. Just now, he was sure that Xie Huaijing would not be able to find the source of the rumors so quickly. He did not expect that Xie Huaijing had already brought someone here.

Following Emperor Xuande's order, Yan Qing and Ye Chi escorted one person in.

The Zhennan Prince's Palace, the Protector's Palace and the Princess's Palace were all dispatched at the same time. No wonder they were so fast.

"Your Majesty, these are the two people who spread rumors about Princess Anping's life experience." Xie Huaijing said.

Emperor Xuande's eyes fell on the two kneeling brothers and asked sternly, "Who are you? Why are you spreading rumors about Princess Anping's life experience?"

"Back to the emperor, the common man's name is Zhang Da, and he is a food delivery person. The common man did not spread any rumors. When the common man went to the princess's house to deliver the food, he heard with his own ears that the princess and the maid told her about her life experience, saying that she was not from Daqin." Brother, that is, Zhang San answered.

"Back to the emperor, the common man's name is Zhang Er. I can testify that what my elder brother said is true." The short Zhang Er replied.

The two brothers have made all preparations. If they escape easily, it will be the luckiest.

Once caught, their confessions are already prepared.

At this time, a cold and stern voice came from the door.

"You, a food delivery person, can't even get through the gate of the princess's mansion. Where did you hear me talking to the maid about my life experience?"

Everyone looked for the voice and saw Shen Yan walking in with a cold face and brisk steps.

Qiu Yu followed Shen Yan.

Shen Yan and Xie Huaijing looked at each other, and they both gave each other a comforting look to reassure the other.

Then, she came to Emperor Xuande and saluted, "I have met the Emperor."

Qiu Yu followed and saluted.

Emperor Xuande nodded, "Anping, do you know these two people?"

Shen Yan replied, "I don't know him."

"I know each other," Qiu Yu said. "Yesterday, these two people did go to the princess's mansion to deliver food."

"Your Majesty, even Princess Anping's maid said so. The evidence is conclusive. Princess Anping is definitely not from Da Qin." Nan Bancang said.

"General Nan, I haven't finished speaking yet. Although these two people went to the princess's mansion to deliver food, they did not enter the mansion."

Qiu Yu was calm and calm, she looked at Emperor Xuande and said, "Your Majesty, the princess's mansion has regulations that all people who deliver food are not allowed to enter the mansion. The slaves will wait at the side door every day to personally select fresh vegetables. After buying the vegetables, The people in the house took the food back to the kitchen by themselves, and the person who delivered the food left. The slaves were present the whole time, so they had no chance to enter the house."

"Your Majesty, Princess Anping's maid is one of her own, and her testimony does not count." Nan Bancang said.

Shen Yan sneered, "General Nan, Qiu Yu only said two sentences at the beginning, and you immediately interrupted her and used her words as evidence, saying that the evidence was conclusive. Now that Qiu Yu has finished speaking, you said that her words cannot be used as evidence. , are you slapping yourself in the face and treating everyone like fools?"

Nan Bancang's lips moved, but in the end he couldn't utter a word of rebuttal. He was embarrassed and angry.

Emperor Xuande continued to ask Zhang Da, "Zhang Da, neither of you have been able to enter the princess's palace, why did you listen to the princess's story about your life experience? Why did you frame Princess Anping if you didn't tell the truth?"

"Your Majesty is unjust, the common people really entered the princess's mansion." Zhang Da explained calmly and calmly.

"After Qiu Yu bought the vegetables, she turned around and left. After she left, the common people found that there were fresh vegetables under the basket. The princess bought these vegetables frequently. In order to earn a few more pennies, the common people came back to knock on the princess. The door of the mansion happened to be opened by a person from the princess's mansion to the common people who hadn't gone far."

"The person said that she was not sure whether the dish was necessary and had to ask the people in the kitchen, so she asked Cao Min to pick up the dishes and go to the kitchen. It was on the way to the kitchen that Cao Min heard Princess Anping talking to her maid."

"Later, Cao Min left the princess's mansion and went out to drink with the secret in mind. As a result, he drank too much and accidentally revealed the secret of the princess's life experience."

Zhang Da kowtowed violently as he spoke, "Your Majesty, everything the common people said is true. The common people have not wronged Princess Anping. Please see clearly."

"Who brought you into the mansion?" Emperor Xuande asked.

"She's a maid, Cao Min doesn't know her. Cao Min only remembers that she said she was new here and couldn't take charge of things in the house, so she asked Cao Min to pick the dishes to the kitchen and ask questions." Zhang Da was very logical and emotional and answered in an orderly manner.

"Anping, do you know who he is talking about?" Emperor Xuande asked.

"I know that the maid's name is Hongzhu, and she only entered the princess's mansion these two days." Shen Yan explained, "I saved her mother on the street a few days ago, and she said she wanted to enter the mansion as a slave to repay my kindness. .”

"Chen Fugui, go and bring that maid!" Emperor Xuande ordered, "Bring the people from the kitchen of the Princess's Mansion as well."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Chen left as quickly as he came. He reported to Emperor Xuande, "Your Majesty, people are here."

Hongzhu and everyone in the kitchen knelt down.

Emperor Xuande asked Zhang Da with a gloomy face, "Who brought you into the mansion?"

Zhang Da pointed at Hongzhu, "That's her!"

Before Emperor Xuande could ask, Hongzhu explained, "Your Majesty, it was my slave who brought Zhang Da into the house. Together with him, I heard the secret of the princess's life experience."

After she finished speaking, she knelt down to Shen Yan and cried bitterly, "Princess, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. If I had known that I would hear your secret, I would never have brought him into the house. You saved my life." Mother, this slave has harmed you, it is my slave who is sorry for you."

Shen Yan looked at Hongzhu and sarcastically said, "You performed well, I should give you an award."

Hongzhu was stunned. She thought Shen Yan would be furious. She was ready to continue crying. She didn't expect Shen Yan would react like this. She didn't know how to answer the question.

Shen Yan ignored her and pointed at Zhang Da and asked the people in the kitchen, "Did any of you see this person enter the kitchen?"

Everyone in the kitchen shook their heads and replied, "My lord, I have never seen this person in the kitchen before."

Another person replied, "The kitchen is an important place. No one else is allowed in except our kitchen staff. Not to mention the food delivery guy, not even the new Hongzhu is qualified to enter."

"Hongzhu, why did you lie? Why did you want to harm the princess?" Someone began to question Hongzhu.

Hongzhu continued to cry, "I know that you are old people in the mansion, respect the princess, and don't want to testify against her. I also know that if I serve as a witness today, others will point at me and scold me, saying that I am ungrateful."

She answered the question in an attempt to confuse the audience.

Some people couldn't turn the corner and were really trapped by her, but there were always people who stayed awake and believed in Shen Yan.

"Since Princess Anping is your mother's savior, why did you betray her?" Emperor Xuande asked in a deep voice.

"Go back to the Emperor, because this servant is from Da Qin. As a citizen of Da Qin, you should protect Da Qin. If you find a spy, you must not hide it." Hongzhu said impassionedly, as if he had really done an extremely glorious thing.

"Since you know you can't hide it, why didn't you come and report it yesterday?" Emperor Xuande asked sharply.

"Your Majesty, I am confused. After all, Princess Anping is kind to me. I thought about it all night and decided to report Princess Anping. But before I could report it, news about Princess Anping's life experience appeared in the city today." Hongzhu's face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't beat. He answered in an orderly manner.

"Absurd! Nonsense!" Emperor Xuande was furious.
