Xiuzhen nodded and lowered her voice, "At that time, Jinlinwei rushed to the mansion and mobilized a large number of troops. Madam and Young Madam saw that you had taken the medicine and were fine, so they went back."

Hearing this, Gu Xirong gritted her teeth. She was unconscious at the time and her entire family didn't stay to look after her.

Gu Xirong's eyes were filled with sarcasm. If the child wasn't her biological child, she wouldn't feel any love for him.

When I said earlier that I loved her very much, it was just talk.

As soon as he heard that Xie Jin was arrested by Jin Linwei, he immediately hid far away, for fear of being implicated!

"I'm hungry, so I'll take some supplements. Give me all the supplements I can use. I need to replenish my body now."

Xiuzhen quickly agreed, "Yes, Miss, nothing is more important than your body."

Gu Xirong said nothing, just wiped her tears, the resentment in her eyes growing stronger and stronger.

After Xiuzhen came out, she breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she felt sorry for Miss Xiling and had no expectations for the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion.

People must make themselves valuable, otherwise even their relatives will be unable to help them.

In the capital, the Ning Wang was captured and his treasure was found. The turmoil caused by this incident has not dissipated and has caused heated discussions.

The most peaceful places are Changning Marquis Mansion and Li Mansion.

The Changning Marquisate was able to stay out of the matter because it had made contributions, but the Li Mansion did not dare to move for fear of His Majesty's suspicion.

Therefore, no matter whether the outside world was talking about good or bad things, everything became as quiet as a chicken after Pang Ming's death.

Xu Cheng of Jinlin Guard personally led people to investigate Princess Lanxin's Meilin Villa and discovered a tunnel that led to a secret valley.

There were indeed signs that something was hidden inside, because in another tunnel, another thirty boxes of gold bars were found.

The quality, style and weight of the gold bars are the same as those in Prince Ning’s treasure.

It can be confirmed that the treasure of Prince Ning was once hidden here. In addition, Xu Cheng also led people to Lizigou to investigate, and this was indeed the place where the treasure of Prince Ning was moved and hidden.

Except for Xie Jin, all the people who transported Prince Ning's treasure with Xie Jin disappeared.

Xu Cheng was sure that there were both truth and lies in Xie Jin's words, but he could not prove that the parts he suspected were lies were lies.

Xu Cheng reported the results of the investigation to Emperor Kangping, and Emperor Kangping, who was in a good mood, suddenly turned face dark.

"This Lan Xin really disappoints me. It seems that I was too kind to them in the past, and made them forget my majesty."

"Xu Cheng, Princess Lan Xin secretly hid the treasure of Prince Ning, which is equivalent to treason. The title of princess will be stripped, and she will be demoted to a commoner to guard the tomb of the late emperor. If the prince consort and his family are involved in the treason, they will be beheaded in public."

In order to appease the royal family, Emperor Kangping did not kill Princess Lanxin.

But once you get there, you're destined to live shortly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Cheng agreed, "How should we deal with Xie Jin, who exposed Li Guojiu's intention to hide the Ning Wang's treasure?"

Emperor Kangping pondered for a moment and warned Xie Jin not to tell others that Li Guojiu had hidden the Ning Wang treasure. However, he was considered loyal, so he was promoted two levels to be the lieutenant of the imperial guards and the commander of five schools to guard the imperial city.

Xu Cheng was surprised, but thought about it and it made sense.

Your Majesty has reasons for not touching Uncle Li.

Since Li Guojiu now intends to rebel, Xie Jin, who stabbed Li Guojiu in the back, cannot continue to be loyal to Li Guojiu.

Promoting Xie Jin, who stabbed Li Guojiu in the back, is actually to restrict and suppress Li Guojiu.

"Yes!" Xu Cheng agreed, "What should we do with the half box of gold we found in Xie Jin's house?"

Emperor Kangping pondered for a moment, "Madam Xie has sought help from the Changning Marquisate?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Cheng replied, "However, Mrs. Gu, the wife of the Marquis of Changning, did not agree to Madam Xie's request. Then Madam Xie informed Xie Jin, and Xie Jin came to the Jinlin Guard Office."

"So that's how it is!" Emperor Kangping smiled. The Marquis of Changning's Mansion was still as peaceful as ever, so it was not a bad idea to reward Xie Jin generously. "Since the family is poor, I will reward Xie Jin."

"Yes!" Xu Cheng agreed and stepped back.

When Xie Jin learned that not only was he fine, but he was promoted two levels and was also rewarded with half a box of gold bars, he was overjoyed.

Xie Jin immediately kowtowed to Emperor Kangping in the direction of the palace, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have done my duty faithfully and will serve you till my death!"

Xu Cheng smiled and said, "Congratulations, Lieutenant Xie!"

Xie Jin stood up and humbly replied, "Thank you, Commander Xu, for your kind words for me. I am very grateful."

Xu Cheng waved his hand, "You are loyal to His Majesty, so His Majesty will not treat you unfairly. It's just that the situation in the court makes it so that Uncle Li has nothing to do with Prince Ning's treasure. Do you understand?"

Xie Jin was startled, then bowed and replied: "Thank you very much, Commander Xu, for your reminder. I will keep it in mind."

"That's good." Xu Cheng nodded. In order to win over Xie Jin, he continued, "You know the situation between you and Uncle Li. Be careful. As long as the Crown Prince is here, His Majesty will not have any grudges with Uncle Li for you."

Xie Jin understood, "Thank you Commander Xu for your reminder. I will keep it in mind. Your Majesty has his own difficulties, and as a subject, I should share your worries."

Commander Xu nodded, "Thank you, Lieutenant Commander, for thinking it through. I won't take your word for what you just said after you leave me. General Xie, take care of yourself."

"Yes, Xie knows." Xie Jin agreed, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.

Now that he doesn't have to be exiled to the frontier and can serve in the Imperial Guards, his rank has been promoted two levels. Xie Jin is terrified but also very proud.

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk; the ancients were right!

Xie Jin was excited and nervous all the way, but after returning home, he calmed down and wanted to share with his wife how he had escaped death and turned a disaster into a blessing.

When Butler Xie saw Xie Jin coming back, he wiped his tears and told him what had happened in the mansion.

Veins popped out on Xie Jin's forehead and his eyes were deep, thinking about how much help Gu Xirong had given him, and now she had a miscarriage. That was his first child, and he was gone just like that.

"Butler Xie, tell everyone that the old lady has contracted hysteria and violently beat her daughter-in-law, causing her to miscarry. She was sent to the manor to recuperate first."

Xie Jin quickly weighed the pros and cons and chose Gu Xirong, who could bring him great benefits and opportunities, rather than the old mother who only knew how to spend money and cause unrest in the family.

Butler Xie used to respect the old lady because she was a widow, but ever since the general got married, the old lady has become like a different person.

Apart from being able to maintain his dignity in front of the general, he would trouble his wife whenever the general was not at home.

Now look what has happened, the young master has been tortured to death!

The lady has the support of the Marquis of Jingyang's Mansion and the Marquis of Changning's Mansion. Even if the general wants to protect the old lady, he has to be cautious.

"Yes, General. I'll do it right away." Butler Xie agreed.

As soon as Xie Jin returned home, the little maid hurried over to report.

Gu Xirong immediately used all her acting skills to achieve her goal.

When Xie Jin arrived, he saw a beautiful woman with a pale face, confused and sad eyes, and as pitiful as the sick Xi Shi.

"My dear, I am sorry for making you suffer." Xie Jin came over, sat in front of the bed, and held Gu Xirong's hand. "Mother has contracted hysteria and is crazy. She has been sent to the manor to recuperate. She will not leave the manor easily in the future."

Gu Xirong, who originally had dull eyes and looked like a puppet, threw herself into Xie Jin's arms and burst into tears after hearing what Xie Jin said.

Xie Jin coaxed her softly and gently stroked the back of his wife in his arms. He did not notice that Gu Xirong was sobbing and crying with the corners of her mouth curled up, with a look of success on her face.
