Come on, Your Highness

Following He Xichao in and out, I have seen a lot, and Ah Fu is no longer the original Ah Fu.

When he arrived in front of Duke Wei's mansion, he helped He Xichao get off the carriage, and suddenly said: "Master, what you did was right. No matter where you go in the future, Ah Fu will always follow you."

He Xichao heard the words, and teased: "Finally, I have improved a bit. Don't worry, follow me, I will have a good life for you."

He slapped a letter on Ah Fu's chest, and ordered: "You go to the palace of the King of England and give this letter to the King of England."

"Yes, sir."

"By the way, don't tell him that I was beaten and locked up overnight."

Ah Fu frowned after hearing this: "Why, young master, you have suffered such a great grievance, and you didn't ask His Royal Highness to make decisions for you, why did you keep it from him? As long as His Royal Highness is here, the Duke dare not touch you .”

"I decide my own affairs, and don't let anyone get involved." He Xichao said and gave him a sideways glance, "Why, you were bought by him?"

"No, no, no!" Ah Fu shook his head hastily, "The young one belongs to the young master, how dare he eat the inside out. It's His Highness..."

"Ok?"

"His Royal Highness once summoned the little one and said that you are the person he values ​​most, and that even the smallest things about you are his big ones. He told the little one to protect the young master well, and he can go to him for anything..."

As Ah Fu spoke, he saw He Xichao raised his eyebrows, he didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and assured him: "Young master, I have never betrayed the young master, you can say whatever you want, and you don't want to say anything." Yes, even if you kill the little one, you won’t say it. Young master..."

"There's so much nonsense, don't hurry up."

"Yes." Ah Fu ran away in a hurry.

He Xi frowned at the corner of her mouth, and her mood suddenly became very good. Even if she had to face bad people and things next, she didn't think it was a big deal.

As soon as He Xichao stepped into the gate, the butler who was guarding the gate immediately came up to him: "Ah, my young master, the Duke has been waiting for you for a long time, where have you been?"

He Xi tilted his eyes slightly: "Where do I have to report to you?"

"No, no, of course not. I don't dare to be a little one. It's just that the Duke is very anxious and looks for you everywhere. He tells you to go to Hesongyuan as soon as you come back."

He Xichao didn't speak, and walked inside.

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly followed, but just after entering the Chuhuamen, He Xi turned on his heels when he reached the cross corridor, and then headed west.

"Hey, master, where are you going?"

"Go back to An Yunxuan."

"But at the Lord's place..."

"I'll change clothes and go."

That's right, the butler looked embarrassed, but he didn't dare to be dissatisfied with the young master, so he could only accompany him to An Yunxuan, when he met someone on the way, he told him to go to the main room to report first.

When He Xichao returned to An Yunxuan, there were only a few maidservants who were still alive, Xia He and Chunxiang were not there, and naturally there was no Li Yuechan either.

He let out a breath, and a maid dressed as a second-class maid came in, blushing and slightly bowed, and said softly: "Master, do you want a servant to serve you?"

He Xichao glanced at her: "Are you by Madam's side?"

"Yes."

He Xichao's expression turned cold: "You are serving Madam, not me."

The servant girl's face turned pale immediately, and she argued: "But sister Xia He is not here..."

"Go out." Without looking at her, He Xichao opened the closet familiarly, and took out a coat from inside.

As long as he was in An Yunxuan, Xia He would always be by his side to serve him, and at most two little girls would help him with rough work.

Even if his status is enough to put two first-class people, the four second-class people still haven't been added.

How could such a strange maid who came from nowhere get close to him.

The maid held back her embarrassment, bowed her head and hurried out, and there were a few laughs from outside the house.

He Xichao rubbed the center of his brows, he couldn't figure out what his mother was thinking, even the people around him looked disgusting.

After changing his clothes, he calmly stood in front of the mirror, straightened his skirt and cuffs, and made everything tidy. Finally, he looked at the slightly blurred face inside and smiled slightly.

In the Hesong Courtyard, I heard the message from the person sent by the housekeeper.

Wei Guogong actually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. What he was most worried about was that this kid would not come back today and just hid outside.

Now that he knew he was going back to the manor, there was still room for maneuver.

This was the scene when He Xichao walked in.

Duke Wei sat in a high position with his wife. Next to him sat another strange old lady. Her face was somewhat similar to Duke Wei's. The deep decree lines showed that she was not usually a generous person.

It's just that now his eyes are red and swollen, and his face is mournful. Although he looks calm, there is already panic in his eyes.

Sitting next to Mrs. Lin was another strange lady. She was shrouded in gloom and looked hopeless.

A girl about the same age as He Lingping stood behind her wiping her tears, and another young man stood behind Mrs. Lin.

On the other side, down one by one, sat the eldest lady, the second master, the second lady, and Li Yuechan, sister He Lingyun stood next to the second lady, and He Mingrui stood behind Wei Guogong.

He Xichao raised his eyebrows, thinking that the emperor's trial of the three divisions has not yet started, and the trial of the three courts here will be staged first!

"Xi Chao..."

Li Yuechan couldn't sit still, she looked at her son worriedly, and wanted to say a few words first, but He Xichao had already looked away, walked down the hall calmly, and bowed gracefully and respectfully: "Xi Chao met grandfather, old lady, uncle, two aunts, mother..."

Then his eyes fell on Mrs. Lin and the rest of the Lin family, he bent down again, cupped his hands and said, "Grandma and aunt face each other, I hope Xi Chao does not admit his mistake."

Mrs. Lin then showed a loving smile, but when she saw his face, she was so surprised that she forgot the words of praise.

Mrs. Lin, who was still next to him, quickly interjected: "You really deserve to be the number one scholar. You guessed it right. I heard that you have already studied as a fifth-rank Imperial Academy. You are so young and promising, which is really enviable."

Only then did Mrs. Lin come to her senses, and then she praised: "The He family hasn't produced a single reading material for a hundred years. Who would have thought of producing a three-yuan grade as soon as it came out? It's really the blessing of the ancestors, big brother, what a blessing."

He Xichao smiled lightly, but it seemed that his face was red and swollen, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and his smile was more forced.

It's been a day since the slap print, although medicine has been applied in Xie's mansion, but the mark is obvious, and it still hasn't faded in the slightest.

As soon as the second lady saw it, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and subconsciously turned towards the old lady. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw the word "surprise" in each other's eyes. They didn't expect Wei Guogong to strike so hard!

But after being surprised, he withdrew his gaze and hid the gloating in his eyes.

He Mingrui lowered his head slightly, unable to see his expression clearly, but the corners of his mouth could still clearly understand his happy mood at the moment.

Over the years, when has He Xichao suffered so much? He has been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

Looking at the eldest lady again, she was shocked, a little unbelievable, she couldn't help looking at Wei Guogong.

When Wei Guogong saw the palm print, he was also surprised, he didn't expect it to be so serious.

At that time, I lost my mind with anger, and I didn't look carefully at night in the pitch black, only then did I realize that half of my face was swollen.

He couldn't help feeling guilty, his heart ached, he slowed down his expression, and asked in a soft tone: "Xi Chao, you weren't in the Imperial Academy just now, where did you go?"

"You must find a doctor to take a look at the wound on your face, right?" He Xichao smiled self-deprecatingly, "How does grandfather know that I'm not in the Imperial Academy?"

Wei Guogong's expression became a little unnatural. Thinking of the embarrassment at the gate of the British government, he frowned and felt a little unhappy.However, the situation is stronger than others, and it must be this kid, so he sighed with a trace of complaints: "Grandfather, you still have to look at your face! I cherish the court, and the old man doesn't play around in circles. My lords have said that there is no need for you to be in front of the King of England. If you say anything, you just need to let me know, and it is your favor to let His Royal Highness condescend to see us, isn't it difficult?"

"It's not difficult." He Xi looked around, not knowing where to sit, so he just stood there.

However, before Wei Guogong could speak, he asked, "But grandfather, what can you do when you see the King of England?"

What else can it be? Naturally, it is a condition to ask him to be lenient.

Wei Guogong really wanted to put down the sentence, just leave it alone, but he knew that with this kid's temper, he would definitely not be obedient, so he could only think about explaining.

However, before he could come up with a high-sounding word, He Xichao said: "If you ask His Highness to intercede with the emperor for those 48 people, you should just save yourself, he won't agree."

As soon as this remark came out, Mrs. Lin wanted to speak anxiously, but Wei Guogong waved his hands and stared at He Xichao and said, "You just spread the word, how to persuade it is our business."

"Don't go."

"Crack!" The heavy mahogany table was slapped heavily by Wei Guogong, and the anger he had barely suppressed suddenly surged up, and he looked at He Xichao and said word by word: "Say it again!"

He Xichao was fearless, with his neck raised slightly, his voice cold, and his eyes firm: "I hear the roar of the souls struggling in the Songjiang River, and those poor girls who have been abused but have to lean on the door to laugh. I have no face. I can't let go of my conscience, so... I won't go."

"You!" Wei Guogong glared at him, his neck thickened with anger, "The old man has said that the culprit has been executed! What else do you want? Are you satisfied with pushing the entire He family and Lin family down to be buried with them? What does man have to do with you, have you been born or have you been raised?"

He Xichao pursed his lips and said: "As an official, you should take the world as your responsibility. You shout this slogan much louder than me."

"I think you are reading stupidly!"

Mrs. Lin couldn't bear it anymore, walked up to He Xichao, took his arm, and begged: "Xi Chao, good boy, that's your cousin! He's not an outsider, your father was very close to him before he was alive, you How can you bear to watch him die!"

"That's right, they are all connected by blood, even if a broken bone is connected to a tendon, it's just a matter of one sentence, why be so stubborn, after all, we are a family." Mrs. Guo persuaded.

The second lady also nodded: "If Ming Rui didn't lose face, let him go."

You said something like this, and lightly exposed the filth and sins, it seemed that He Xichao's persistence seemed very ridiculous.

His eyes became colder, and he said: "A gentleman should know that he can't do what he can't do."

"Xi Chao!" Mrs. Lin called out heavily, and took a step forward and said regretfully, "Are you forcing the old man to kneel to you?"

As she spoke, she made a gesture to bend her knees.

The Duke suddenly shot He Xichao's dangerous eyes, walked up to him, and asked, "I will ask you one last question, are you going or not?"

He Xi squinted her eyes, pursed her lips into a straight line, and her expression was stubborn.

The answer was extremely obvious, but just as he was about to speak, the eldest lady suddenly called out: "He Xichao!"

He Xi looked over, and saw the eldest lady shook her head slightly at him.

Now that there are so many people around, it is impossible for Wei Guogong to back down. If He Xichao insists on pushing hard, even the eldest lady will be afraid of what will happen next.

But He Xichao didn't listen to her, raised his eyes to look back at Wei Guogong and said, "Grandfather, you really disappointed me."

"Snapped--"

He Xichao opened his eyes, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and then said in a low voice, "Mother..."

The Buchai on Li Yuechan's head was flung out, her face was tilted to one side, tears were streaming down her tightly closed eyes.

He Xichao felt that her whole body was trembling, she was terribly frightened, but behind her was her son, she didn't take a step back, she just stood between her grandparents and grandchildren, even though she was about to faint.

Then, Li Yuechan grabbed He Xichao and knelt down, ignoring the burning pain on his face, and begged: "Master...don't do anything, please, let me persuade him...you must not If you start again, he still wants to see someone..."

He Xichao's fists were gradually clenched, and his downcast eyes were fixed on the ground.

He kept telling himself that no matter how much he endured, he could achieve his goal.

He can't fight back, can't take the opportunity to retaliate, even if he leaves the He family, he still has to stand on the moral high ground.

"He Xichao, have you forgotten who you are? The King of England is so confidant to you, he is also the master, there is no difference between monarch and minister, do you think he will move you to be disregarding him? It's ridiculous, since ancient times, the emperor is the most ruthless, what day When he doesn't need you, what are you?" Wei Guogong's icy mocking words sounded above his head.

How Xiao Hong treats him, only he knows.Whether it will be good or bad in the future is his own business.

But He Xichao didn't say a word, still knelt silently.

Wei Guogong sank, managed to retain his reason, and continued coldly: "Go back and think about it carefully. If you still think of yourself as the He family, go to the Yingwang Mansion for me tomorrow, otherwise...you will get out of here." Get out! Our He family doesn't have such unfaithful and unfilial descendants, let's assume that I have been blind all these years and raised a white-eyed wolf! I want to see the lost dog who was driven out of the house, how long will the King of England stay?"

Wei Guogong's words in court shocked everyone.

Especially the Duke's wife and the second wife were staring at He Xichao almost eagerly, wishing that he would say another word on the spot to make this matter a reality.

And He Xichao did raise his head, and asked blankly, "Is what grandfather said serious?"

Happiness came so suddenly that the two clenched their fists tightly.

But the eldest lady yelled loudly: "He Xichao, what crazy words are you talking about! Have you lost your mind? Yue Chan, quickly take him back and persuade him!"

The eldest lady can't care about anything anymore, she can't let Wei Guogong be forced to say decisive words, this is really hard to end!

She regained her composure and said to Wei Guogong: "Master Guo, everything is easy to discuss. It is difficult for him to say this when Xichao works for His Highness the King of England. Let him think about it again, and don't push too hard. Otherwise, it will hurt you." The loss outweighs the gain if you lose the love between grandparents and grandchildren!"

"It's just a matter of one sentence, what's the problem." He Mingrui said coldly suddenly.

"Mingrui, don't do things that add fuel to the fire!"

"Sister-in-law's words are biased. Isn't what Mingrui said true? He didn't regard himself as the He family, so he naturally didn't want to contribute to the He family. He refused to say a word. Can he be counted on to support the family in the future?" ? If something happens again, I'm afraid I'll just sit on the sidelines." The second lady said coldly.

The lady was so angry that her chest heaved, can this kind of thing be the same?

However, seeing Wei Guogong's anger rising straight up, she glared at Li Yuechan and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Yes..." Li Yuechan quickly got up, pulled He Xichao and said, "Go, Xichao, let's go back quickly..."

He Xichao didn't insist anymore, he was pulled up, but before he left, he glanced at Wei Guogong again, the latter didn't intend to speak again.

A little bit.

His eyes darkened, and he followed.
