The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Liu Baoquan accepted the bribe, and Xijiang dismissed all the people around the carriage, leaving enough distance between the two to talk.

But it is impossible to speak well.

While Xue Mingyue pretended to have experienced painful crying, she raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Lang, and said angrily: "Since you are going back to Beijing, why didn't you send someone to tell me?"

There was a hint of complaint in her tone that she didn't even notice.

Obviously different from the previous cold refusal attitude.

It's just a matter of a letter.

Why did she wait until Xijiang arrived at Hot Spring Village to find out that the second prince had been executed and His Majesty wanted to summon her into the palace for questioning? It was too hasty.

Hearing her somewhat intimate complaint, a gentle smile flashed across Xie Lang's black eyes.

But the smile on his face faded in the next moment, and he pulled the corners of his lips mockingly.

"Your Majesty issued an order today to depose Xiao Duo as a commoner and exile him to Yazhou, but he did not order his execution. He was worried that I would kill Xiao Duo first, so he issued the order suddenly."

The murderous intent in his eyes didn't seem to be fake.

Xue Mingyue's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she quickly remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

She remembered that in the news coming from the capital, it seemed to be mentioned that Xie Lang was furious because of 'her' disappearance. He questioned the second prince in front of His Majesty and the courtiers, and even threatened to kill Xiao Duo after he was imprisoned.

"Your Majesty believes that you were really captured by Xiao Duo's men, but he also believes that I have found you a long time ago."

"Huh?" Xue Mingyue was surprised.

Xie Lang picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her red eyes, nodded and said: "So I summoned you to the palace this time just to confirm whether this matter is true. You only need to know the attitude of the servants in the other courtyard who are locking you up." Just make some changes.”

"No matter what he asks, you just ask and don't know."

Xue Mingyue felt a slight sting and couldn't help but tilt her head back. As soon as she pulled back, a big hand was holding the back of her head and pushed it back. Xie Lang's clear features came into view.

He whispered: "Don't hide."

"...It's a little itchy." Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Xue Mingyue pursed her lower lip nervously, trying to focus on what he just said.

"Is this change in attitude to prove that you found me?"

"But I haven't been treated badly. I've even gained weight during this period... and I'm a little more radiant. Your Majesty, I wonder if you will incriminate the second prince for this matter. Do you still want to kill him?" "

Xue Mingyue coughed lightly.

Demoting Xiao Duo to a commoner and being exiled was Emperor Jingping's method to protect his son.

Xie Lang lowered his eyes, carefully smoothed the rouge around her eyes with his hand, and said, "Of course I will kill him. Since His Majesty can't bear it, I will help him so that he has to kill Xiao Duo ruthlessly."

Xue Mingyue closed her mouth as if feeling something and did not ask any more questions.

She didn't want to know at all how Xie Lang was going to help Emperor Jingping kill his son.

Moreover, Xue Mingyue couldn't help but glance at his calm and calm expression, and her heart could not help but beat.

The person he wanted to kill was the emperor's son, and he still wanted to force the emperor to kill his son himself. He actually said it in such an understatement... It seemed as if he didn't take the emperor seriously at all.

This speculation is too outrageous.

Xue Mingyue quickly shook the thought out of her mind and suppressed herself from thinking about it.

"After meeting His Majesty, he will ask you to see the Queen. The Queen will ask you. You still don't have to say anything. You just need to decide which small courtyard you will be locked in. I will take care of the rest. .”

"Oh, do I still want to cry?"

Xie Lang laughed: "If you can't cry, it's okay not to cry."

Xue Mingyue blinked her eyes and waited patiently for him to finally let go. Then she touched the corners of her eyes with her fingers and asked, "If I cry, will this Yanzhi faint?"

If this were true, then she and Xie Lang would have their entire family executed.

Xie Lang tapped her forehead lightly with his finger and shook his head in amusement: "No, it's made of waterproof paint." Speaking of entering the palace, he suddenly thought of something and suddenly said, "Remember Xiao Qing'er?"

Xue Mingyue rolled her eyes: "How could you not remember!"

"She accidentally came into contact with poison during the autumn hunting. After returning to Beijing, His Majesty asked the Tai Hospital to diagnose and treat her. However, she was not cured. Instead, it became more serious and disfigured."

Xie Lang had a cold expression on his face when he said this.

Xue Mingyue subconsciously thought: "Disfigured?"

No one knows the efficacy of tiger vine better than her. It has no other effect except causing rashes all over the body for a while. Those people never recovered during the autumn hunting. That was because Xie Lang secretly added the medicine.

But tiger vine is indeed not a poison.

He could disfigure Xiao Qing'er, presumably because of his handiwork.

Xie Lang's dark eyes were deep, and there was a bit of unexplainable sneer in his voice: "She is one of the people who plans to kidnap you. If I want to kill Xiao Duo, I will not let her go."

In addition to these two people, Bai Zhenzhen, who took action, had been tortured in a private cell until he could only breathe.

Don't worry, there are still some people he will deal with one by one in the future, such as the Xu family.

Now everyone in Yongji City knew that Xue Mingyue was his untouchable opponent, and no one would speak sarcastically in front of her. This was why he took her back to the capital.

Xie Lang had no intention of hiding anything from her when he said these words.

Xue Mingyue took in his cold expression and couldn't help but feel dumb. The knuckles hidden in her sleeves curled up. She always felt that his appearance was familiar, but she couldn't think of any familiarity at the moment.

But what could she say about it? Advise him to be gentle? Do you have to spare others?

Xue Mingyue has never claimed to be a good person, let alone a moral saint.

No matter in her previous life or in this life, she suffered at the hands of the second prince and the ninth princess. In her previous life, she was even harmed to the point of ruining her family. Even if they didn't go that far in this life, so what?

She is such a petty and vengeful person.

Xue Mingyue raised her eyes and looked directly at him: "If you need any help, you can come to me. Although there is very little I can do, the troupe I have is still quite useful in the capital."

At least it would be possible to help him change his reputation.

Hearing this, the indifferent look on Xie Lang's face instantly disappeared, he curved his lips slightly with satisfaction, reached out and rubbed her head, and said matter-of-factly: "Okay, I won't be polite. "

"Don't always use your hands and feet!"

Xue Mingyue glared at the person who slapped his nose and face because of just one word.

Xie Lang hummed twice perfunctorily.

Half an hour passed quickly.

The carriage started again and drove slowly into the capital, then passed through the South City Gate and entered the imperial city.

Xue Mingyue got off the carriage with swollen eyes, followed Xie Lang, and followed Liu Baoquan to the main hall where Emperor Jingping usually summoned ministers. The atmosphere was particularly solemn along the way.

Even Gong E was trembling when she saw Xie Lang.

Xue Mingyue raised an eyebrow.
