Come on, Your Highness

The men and women of the Lu family were detained separately.

Since Xiao Hong and He Xichao wanted to check it out, General Huang ordered people to bring all of the Lu family over, a dense group of people.

When I saw Xiao Hong, all kinds of painful tears, kowtows begging for mercy, and separation of relations were all intertwined, and my ears were buzzing.

Xiao Hong frowned: "Give me peace, if you quarrel again, drag it out!"

Under Xiao Hong's icy gaze, everyone was silenced immediately, only a low sob remained.

He Xichao glanced around, and saw that the children were all curled up in their mother's arms, looking terrified.

A group of maidservants came in in a row with their heads down, only to hear one of General Huang's personal guards say: "Everyone, take a closer look and see if the children and masters here are all from the Lu family. If there are any impersonators, just point them out. You will be able to go to slavery and become good citizens, and the whole family will be able to behave in an upright manner."

As soon as these words came out, the group of maids and mother-in-law immediately raised their heads.

Their eyes widened to discern among the faces below.

This temptation is too great, the Lu family is doomed to be destroyed, and they will be re-sold as slaves, and those who come from the family of criminal officials like this can't go to better places at all.At this time, if there is a chance to return to freedom, and the whole family, it will be a surprise in the world, so everyone can't wait to find out the wrong person from the usually high-ranking masters below.

Even if some masters and servants are reluctant to identify the old master, others have no burden.

However, a stick of incense time passed, and they did not find a single person.

Under anxiety, more than one person finally looked at the woman who was huddled in the corner of the last row without hesitation, and saw a baby in her arms.

A woman knelt in front of Xiao Hong, pointed at the woman and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, this servant suspects that child..."

As soon as the words fell, a woman next to the woman blurted out angrily: "Nonsense, that's my child..."

"Ah Xin!" Young Master Lu hurriedly called out to her, watching her and shaking his head slightly.

The Young Madam's face turned pale immediately, she moved her lips, and her eyes slowly turned to Xiao Hong, who looked at her expressionlessly and ordered: "Bring the child here."

Immediately the two soldiers walked over.

"Don't, don't..." The eldest young lady rushed forward in a hurry, tugged with the soldiers, and then faced Xiao Hong and cried, "Don't touch my child, this is my child! Your Highness, please You, he was just born, he didn't know anything and didn't do anything! Please forgive me!"

On the other side, Young Master Lu knelt on the ground and kowtowed non-stop, his head hitting the bluestone bricks with a heavy bang: "Your Highness, the child is innocent, no matter what the Lu family does has nothing to do with him, please let him live! Please, for the Queen Mother's sake!"

When Young Master Lu shouted, there were children beside him who were still young and immediately kowtowed, begging for mercy one by one.

General Huang was in a dilemma, and couldn't help looking at Xiao Hong. To be honest, facing each and every young child, those eyes full of fear really made people feel pity.

Xiao Hong's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Ahem..." Suddenly there was a clear cough from beside him, and he turned his head away, only to see He Xi frowning between his brows, as if he was uncomfortable from the noise.

"Shut up!" shouted angrily, and instantly silenced the voice below again.

Then I heard He Xichao say calmly: "It is no longer up to His Highness to decide whether to show favor or not, you have to submit to the holy order. You are all the sons of officials, you should understand where the fine clothes and food come from, the Lu family is rich and dangerous. Zhongqiu, you should also be prepared to capsize in the waves. As for the queen mother, you should not mention it again, lest the old queen mother will have no peace in the sky."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the two soldiers and said, "Bring the child here."

The two soldiers didn't hesitate anymore, one held the young lady in his arms, and the other snatched the child from the wet nurse.

The nurse took two steps on her knees, her eyes were full of worry.

Xiao Dunzi took the child and found that the little one was quite heavy and looked very strong.

Xiao Hong and He Xichao both leaned over to have a look, Xiao Hong whispered in embarrassment: "Xichao, I have never raised a child, so I can't tell if this is Lu Yuanruo."

He Xichao glanced at him and said, "Did I raise it?"

"Then what should I do, it's so small..."

He Xi looked back at the Young Madam and Young Master Lu, as well as the wet nurse, all looking at him nervously.

I don't know whether to care about this child or something else.

After thinking for a while, he finally pulled off the swaddle, turned the child over, glanced at the buttocks, then raised his eyebrows and turned back to ask the young lady: "Young lady, is this child yours?"

"It's mine, of course it's mine..." The eldest young lady whimpered, and said while crying, "I also hope that he is not, I hope that I can send him away, Your Highness, please forgive me..."

He Xichao nodded: "Okay, if it's really yours, His Highness will take pity on your loving father and mother, plead with the emperor, and be extra merciful to let him live."

The eldest young lady was stunned, and asked in disbelief: "Really?"

Xiao Hong nodded and said, "Naturally."

"Then is he your child?" He Xichao stared at her with burning eyes and asked softly.

At this time, everyone didn't dare to speak, and they all waited for the young lady to answer.

She pursed her lips, glanced at her husband, finally bent down and kowtowed and said, "It's my concubine's body."

He Xi showed a faint smile on his face, and said softly: "That's good, but I just saw a red birthmark on the child's buttocks, so I asked the young lady whether it was on the left or right buttock Woolen cloth?"

As soon as this remark came out, the eldest young lady was stunned, not only her, but even the young master Lu and the wet nurse couldn't restrain their astonishment.

At this moment, the needle could be heard, the young lady was kneeling on the ground, her forehead was dripping with sweat, all eyes were on her, but in the end she couldn't help but turned her head slightly to the nurse.

"Why, you are the mother of the child, you don't even know?"

Xiao Hong asked coldly, and the eldest young lady immediately denied: "No, the concubine's body is not very clear, it should be..." She gritted her teeth, did not dare to look again, closed her eyes and said, "Yes, here right……"

Suddenly the wet nurse seemed to be unsteady on her knees, she leaned to the side and touched her.

"On the left!" The eldest young lady opened her eyes, and immediately changed her words. Her voice was firmer than ever before, and she looked at Xiao Hong and said loudly, "Yes, the right hand for writing, and the other side is the left, it's the left!"

After hearing this, the wet nurse finally couldn't help but shouted: "Young Madam!"

The eldest young lady was stunned in place, she turned her head to look at her blankly, and saw the wet nurse shaking her head in tears.

I only heard He Xichao's slight smile from above, but there was a strong sarcasm in his eyes: "It's really touching to be loyal, but it's a pity for this child, who just kept saying that he is childish and innocent... That Fang's hypocrisy is simply disgusting." !"

Xiao Hong called out with a sullen face, "Xiao Dunzi."

"The slave is here."

"Take this child to Marquis Chengen, ask Xichao the question just now, and see how our Marquis Chengen answers."

"The slave obeys the order."

"General Huang."

"The end is here."

"I can't find Lu Yuanruo, come and see me!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Hong got up, pulled He Xichao up and left, leaving only a shrill scream behind him.

"Do not--"

General Huang followed up, watching Xiao Hong and He Xichao hesitate to speak.

He Xichao asked with a smile: "Does the general want to ask why?"

General Huang said ashamedly: "Please enlighten me, Mr. He."

However, Xiao Hong at the front had a stinky face: "Go back and ask your son, this is your negligence."

General Huang said with a sneer: "Yes, Your Highness, please forgive me." His forehead was also covered with sweat, and he felt a little flustered. He really didn't expect such a scene of stealing and changing positions.

General Huang knew at a glance that he was not a general who won by strategy. If Huang Qi were here today, he might have guessed it all at once.

"I would like to know what expression Marquis Lu will have." He Xichao raised the corners of his lips, with a hint of pleasure on his face, "It must be very exciting."

"This king gave that child a way out, and they themselves rejected it." Xiao Hong sneered at this point, "Even now, I'm afraid I don't have any regrets."

Just as he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps ahead.

Then a familiar figure rushed over first, threw himself at Xiao Hong's feet, and shouted excitedly: "Your Highness, slave, I finally see you!"

"Little Xuanzi!" Xiao Hong was both surprised and delighted, he exchanged a glance with He Xichao, and hurriedly said, "You're still alive?"

Little Xuanzi's eyes were wet, and he knelt down to wipe away his tears, and replied: "God knew that this servant had to serve His Highness, so he confiscated this humble life. After jumping off the boat, this servant followed the waves and dived as far away as possible, but the wind and rain were too strong. , I couldn’t find where His Highness was, and I was lucky not to be shot by the arrow. When I was exhausted, I saw the painting boat, the rain was heavy, and the fire on it was extinguished, and the servant simply boarded the painting boat and followed the waves into Songjiang.”

Xiao Hong nodded again and again: "I see, as long as you are fine, get up quickly."

However, Xiao Xuanzi didn't move, just cried and kowtowed to Xiao Hong: "The servant survived, I was really afraid of hearing the sad news of His Highness when I came back. I have been praying to God for the past two days, and I will make sure that Your Highness is safe and sound. I didn't expect you to really It's all right! That's great! The slave is so happy! Woooo..."

Xiaoxuanzi and Xiaodunzi have served Xiao Hong since they were young, and the relationship between master and servant is extraordinary.

Although the ambiguous relationship between Xiao Hong and He Xichao was not stated explicitly, it was not hidden from them either.The two of them also deserved this trust, and their mouths were strict, even their master, Eunuch Chang, didn't reveal a third of it.The sense of proportion was just right, and Xiao Hong handled it with ease.

Xiao Hong thought that Xiao Xuanzi was gone, but Xiao Hong felt melancholy for a long time.

"My king is very happy that you came back alive. Get up quickly, wash and rest, and come back to serve you tomorrow."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanzi stood up swiftly and said, "I'm not tired, but I just don't smell right. I'm going back to wash up, and I'll serve His Highness and Young Master Xichao later."

Little Xuanzi came in a hurry, and then ran away in a hurry.

It is said that this eunuch lacks important parts and always has some yin and yang aura, but looking at this, he is not much different from ordinary people.

Huang Qi watched Xiao Xuanzi leave, and then saluted Xiao Hong.

"Lucky enough to live up to my mission, I have taken down the water village. By the way, I have counted the number of people and the properties of the Lu family's estate. However, the Lu family closed the sluice before, and the water was extremely high. I dare not let it go completely. I can only use this It will slowly leak out in two days."

Xiao Hong praised: "The young general did a good job, but you found the boat?"

Huang Qi said: "Yes, the boat has entered the Songjiang River, and happened to be approaching Shuizhuang with the current. By the way, there are two other people on board besides this little Xuanzi father-in-law. I don't know how to deal with it. Please show me, Your Highness."

"Who?"

"The Fifth Miss of the Lu family and her maid, Qin'er, and the Second Young Master Lu are also there, but they are already dead."

It is rumored that the King of England is deeply infatuated with this fifth lady. Although Huang Qi thinks it is nonsense, she is a woman who had an affair with the King of England after all, and she is a beautiful woman who has not changed clothes for three days after being beaten by a storm. He dare not directly When you are locked up, you must first find out what the King of England means.

Generally, men will always be more sympathetic, such as himself.

Sure enough, Xiao Hong's face showed surprise when he heard the words, making Huang Qi feel lucky that no one was rough on him on the road, so he heard him say: "Life is hard, so lock it up."

Huang Qi: "...Yes."

Sure enough, Tianhuang nobles are all ruthless masters.

Xiao Hong, the Fifth Miss of the Lu family, didn't care, but the person next to her had to be coaxed, especially when she was sick, she was a little self-willed.

Xiao Hong considered his tone and said: "Xi Chao, can we go back now? The medicine seems to be up, so we should drink it? I still have to listen to what the doctor said, go...to rest?"

That cautious and flattering tone instantly slapped Huang Qi's face like a resounding slap.

He immediately looked at Xiao Hong in admiration, and said with emotion: He is indeed worthy of being the king of England, he is a person who will do great things, and it is better to let his counselors give up their hearts than to spend their minds on women.

Being so special and approachable has nothing to do with He Xichao's life and death.

If it was placed on him, he would also... Hiss... Seems a little weird?

"Qi'er."

When Huang Qizheng was thinking wildly, his father patted him, immediately blowing his messy thoughts away.

"father?"

Huang Qi said that just now, and asked: "Qi'er, Daddy can't figure it out, do you think it's the left side or the right side?"

"It's not dad, right and left are important? The question is, is there really that birthmark? I guess it belongs to He Xi Chaomeng."

Marquis Cheng En was detained alone. Before the emperor was convicted, Xiao Hong did not treat him badly with good food and drink. He just retaliated with an eye. Don't even think about contacting anyone or asking for any news.

Xiao Dunzi listened to He Xichao's instructions, hugged the child, and said to Cheng Enhou with a smile on his face: "Master Hou, you know what the Lu family did, and there is no way to survive. But the young master and young lady of the Lu family cried He yelled and begged His Highness to forgive him, saying that he is innocent... Well, Young Master Xi Chao has a kind heart, so he begged His Highness for mercy."

Cheng Enhou listened quietly, and when he said this, his eyes could not help moving slightly, and he looked over.

Then I heard Xiao Dunzi say: "His Royal Highness agrees."

Marquis Cheng En's hands on his knees tightened suddenly, astonishment appeared on his face, he probably never thought that Xiao Hong would repay his grievances with kindness, and was willing to leave a way out for the Lu family.

In just two days, he already looked old, his eyes were slightly moist, his gratitude was needless to express, and he simply knelt down to Xiaodunzi: "Many, thank you Your Highness! Thank you, Mr. He! Thank you, Father-in-law! This old man really feels guilty and ashamed... ...deserving death..."

He kowtowed deeply.

"Cheng Enhou doesn't need to do this, take a look at this child." Xiao Dunzi handed the child to Cheng Enhou.

Although this is not his real great-grandson, but just a servant's child, since Xiao Hong let Lu Yuanruo live, it means that the real Lu Yuanruo who took refuge in the countryside can also survive.

Cheng Enhou took it very carefully, hugged it in his arms and teased it a little, as if he was a real grandparent.

Seeing his happy appearance, Xiao Dunzi couldn't help but darken his eyes, and a sarcastic smile curled up on his lips.

He seemed to say unintentionally: "By the way, Lord Hou, there is one thing that the miscellaneous family thinks is quite strange, so I ask Lord Hou to clarify."

"Father, please speak."

"This child has a birthmark on his left buttock. The young lady said it was there, but the wet nurse later changed her words and said no. Is it there or not?"

"Of course there are. Of course his mother knows better about the child. A wet nurse... I'm afraid she might have a wrong idea because she saw something wrong with the Lu family." Cheng Enhou said without hesitation.

Xiao Dunzi suddenly laughed and nodded: "I see, then Cheng Enhou might as well take a look, this child's birthmark is really special."

Cheng Enhou was taken aback, and was about to politely refuse, when Xiao Dunzi took a step forward, stared into his eyes and persuaded again, "You should take a look."

There was a cold light in Xiaodunzi's eyes, and Cheng Enhou finally noticed something was wrong. He looked at the child in his arms, but his hands trembled involuntarily, not daring to lift the swaddle.

Xiao Dunzi's smile widened, "Master Hou?"

Cheng Enhou looked up at Xiaodunzi, his eyes finally became moist, and he pursed his lips.

"It seems that Lord Hou dare not lift it, so the miscellaneous family will lift it for you."

Xiao Dunzi carried the child back, opened the swaddle, turned over, revealing a round and smooth buttocks.

It's clean and nothing.

Cheng Enhou's feet suddenly became weak, and he sat down, as if he couldn't bear the blow.

"Smartness is mistaken by cleverness. It is you who are talking about it. Your Highness, please forgive me. A good Lu Yuanruo could have lived in the first place, but now he is buried in your hands."

Xiao Dunzi cruelly reminded this cruel fact, unconsciously with a sense of pleasure in his heart, he finished speaking condescendingly, keeping Cheng Enhou's expression in his heart, and prepared to turn around and tell Xiao Hong and He Xichao.

However, he turned his head and said to the soldiers behind him, "Take care of Lord Hou, don't be surprised."

"Yes."

The author has something to say: Xiao Hong: Xi Chao, how do you know they are going to drop the package?

He Xichao: If you read a lot, you will know.

Xiao Hong:?
