Come on, Your Highness

He Xichao looked at the rusty red scar on He Lingshan's neck, and said in his heart: Very good.

"Xi Chao, you came just in time, this time is thanks to you, otherwise your sister and she..." Faced with the hatred of He Mingrui, the eldest lady felt so grateful to He Xichao.

"Auntie, you are being polite. This is the duty of a younger brother. Fortunately, my sister trusts me, otherwise I would not be able to help."

If He Lingshan, like those typical "virtuous wives and loving mothers", suffers grievances and injuries and chooses to bear it all the time, and does not say anything in her heart, then the gods will not be able to save her.

"What's your sister's plan going forward?" He Xichao asked.

"Shan'er can't go back to the princess mansion!" The lady said angrily, "If she goes back to that kind of place where people cannibalize, she won't be able to survive!"

He Xichao still looked at He Lingshan: "Then what does sister mean?"

"Xi Chao, if I can, even if I die, I will die outside, but... I'm afraid that this is not up to us." He Lingshan smiled wryly.

He Xichao sat down on the chair, opened the folding fan, and his expression remained unchanged: "Sister, you just need to tell me whether you want to go back or not, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

"No!" He Lingshan replied firmly without thinking.

He Xichao's face immediately melted into a smile, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then brother, I would like to ask again, does my sister have a little affection for Zhan Shaoqi, if he has a little...what will happen to him, will you be soft-hearted?"

He Lingshan thought this question was ridiculous, and she shook her head: "Xi Chao, every day I dream that he will suddenly die outside one day, just let me be a widow, if you tell me what feelings I have for him, I wish I could never die." Never seen him!"

The smile on He Xichao's face was even wider: "Sister, don't be upset, I'm asking this in the hope that one day when the Eldest Princess begs my sister, my sister will be able to harden her heart and answer her like this."

"Then, Xi Chao, what are you going to do?" the lady asked.

He Xichao didn't say his plan, but said: "Since the eldest aunt is not well, don't stay there when the house is in a mess. Didn't the doctor tell you to rest, and when the eldest princess comes to visit you tomorrow, I will take my sister to the mountain Let’s stay for a while. Since it’s called rest, there’s no need to tell others which mountain it is.”

"On the mountain?" The eldest lady thought about it, then nodded heavily, "It's okay, the eldest princess is not easy to get along with, she is used to putting on a show, if she also gets sick, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Shan'er?"

"Others, there seems to be nothing to explain." He Xi turned his face to the side, thought for a while, and then smiled and said to He Lingshan, "As soon as the princess leaves, I will send someone to pick up my aunt and sister. Well, now is the time when the mountain flowers are blooming, sister might as well relax and enjoy the late spring. I will send someone to pick you up after the matter is over."

He Lingshan sent He Xichao out of the yard, and He Xichao said: "Sister, stay here, there is no need to send him off."

He Lingshan shook her head: "Since I'm back, I still have to meet my grandfather."

He Xichao looked at her and said: "Auntie is seriously ill, sister can't leave for the time being, let's go later."

He Lingshan looked at him with some doubts.

He Xichao smiled, and said pointedly: "The old man is very stubborn, I'm afraid he will have to hesitate for a while, my sister will just wait."

When it was time to light the lamp, He Lingshan finally couldn't sit still, so she got up and went to Sansong Hall, but just as she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she saw Wei Guogong walking over with He Xiang.

She was stunned immediately.

He Lingshan suffered too much grievance and became a victim of the interests of the Duke's government. However, even if she complained, she never hated it.

"Shan'er, you have suffered."

This was the first sentence Wei Guogong saw He Lingshan, and it contained infinite regret, which made her feel sour and bitter.

"You can stay here when you come back. With grandfather here, this will always be your home."

No matter how much He Xichao helped her, if He Lingshan left the Princess Mansion, she could only return to Duke Wei's Mansion.In fact, she was anxious and uneasy in her heart, for fear that her grandfather would not tolerate her and would think her ashamed.However, this sentence made her panicked heart finally settle down.

"Old man..." Wei Guogong hesitated for the third sentence, but when he saw the scar on He Lingshan's neck, his heart was shocked, and he still said it, "I'm sorry for you..."

At that moment, tears fell from He Lingshan's eyes, she knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed and said: "My granddaughter is not filial."

Wei Guogong's eyes turned red, and he helped her up.

He Lingshan's pain, which no one has spoken about for many years, fell on Wei Guogong's knee and cried bitterly today, hitting Wei Guogong's heart like an awl. The only remaining blood of the eldest son made Wei Guogong full of infinite regret.

At this moment, Wei Guogong didn't know what else to say, he could only sigh from his chest, and gently patted the granddaughter's shoulder to comfort him.

On the second day, Princess Liyang really brought people to Wei Guogong's mansion to visit the eldest lady, and even brought the imperial physician.

Her gaze fell on the face of the eldest lady, and she looked carefully, but she said worriedly: "I picked up Shan'er in such a hurry, I have always thought of my mother-in-law in my heart, I heard that I was too weak and caught the cold , Alas, you are so careless."

The eldest lady was lying on the bed, looking at the eldest princess's pretended concern, wishing to jump up and scratch her hypocritical face, but no matter how annoyed she was, she was still lying on the bed weakly, twitching the corners of her mouth, weakly Said: "I am old, and I will get sick if I don't pay attention to it. Thank you, the eldest princess, for your understanding, let Shaner come to accompany me, ahem... It's all because of me..."

"Ah, ah, lie down, don't talk too much." The eldest princess knew that she was really sick as soon as she saw the appearance of the eldest lady.

Of course, she is not so easy to fool, it can only be said that the eldest lady is really ruthless for her daughter.

It's just a mere wind and cold. The eldest princess glanced at the imperial doctor who brought her and said: "Doctor Zhang is the best at treating wind and cold. As soon as I heard that you were sick, I brought him here. Why don't you show me? Get well sooner, and you can get better." Shan'er should feel at ease sooner. I'm not afraid of my mother-in-law's jokes, Shaoqi is not in Beijing, I'm bored alone in the mansion, I hope Shan'er can go back to accompany me soon!"

You go dreaming!The eldest lady's chest rose and fell slightly, so she didn't spit on the eldest princess's face.

She lowered her eyes and said, "Then the doctor will be in trouble."

When Princess Liyang returned to the mansion, she told Nanny Fang beside her, "The wind and cold will be cured in five days at most, and you will pick up He Lingshan when you turn around."

"Yes."

"By the way, did you find out, who did He Lingshan send the letter to?"

Mother Fang said: "It's clear, it's a little sweeping girl who went to He's Mansion on the East Street."

"He Xichao?" The eldest princess was extremely surprised.

Nanny Fang nodded.

"Hasn't he already been expelled from the He family? Why is he meddling in his own business?" The eldest princess figured it out before she could answer, "I'm confused. The crown prince sent Shaoqi to the capital? I never expected that these two are really siblings, it seems that He Mingrui tricked He Lingshan, and there is some reason for that."

Mother Fang said after hearing this: "Princess, calm down, we have to look at this matter again. After all, before He Xichao left Duke Wei's mansion, he joined hands with Mrs. He to snatch the housekeeper from the second lady. Quan, I am afraid our young lady has put in a lot of effort in this, there is always some kind of friendship! Young lady asked for help, but he naturally couldn't refuse. He persuaded His Royal Highness to transfer our young master out, and notified the eldest lady of the He family , I’m afraid it’s the best of benevolence.”

When the eldest princess heard this, her expression softened immediately, and she asked: "You mean that He Xichao really wants to intervene?"

"Most people are afraid to avoid this kind of thing, and there is no benefit. Why would He Xichao do such a thankless thing? Not to mention that the young lady is just a cousin. After the removal of the He family, the two have nothing to do with each other. He doesn't care. No one said that he was cold-hearted, but he took too much control and was disgusting."

The eldest princess slowly calmed down, and nodded: "You mean, that kid doesn't look like that kind of warm-hearted. Speaking of which, that dead girl is not stupid. If she goes back to the house to rescue soldiers, Shaoqi will go to the hospital all night. She has suffered a lot when she comes back, and it is impossible for her to be taken back to the Duke's Mansion safely and soundly."

She sat down on the chair and said with a sudden smile: "I'd like to see what other tricks the mother and son can play..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, a servant came in hurriedly to report: "Eldest Princess, Mrs. He Jia and Mrs. Young have left the Duke's Mansion in a carriage."

The eldest princess stood up abruptly after hearing this: "Where did you go?"

"Follow, lost follow..."

"Trash, people will lose it?" the eldest princess said angrily.

"Someone intercepted on the road."

"Who?"

"It's from the He residence."

"Which He Mansion?"

"Master Xiaohe on the East Street..."

"Crack!" The eldest princess slapped the palm of the table.

The people in the room fell silent in fright.

Mother Fang saw that something was wrong and asked, "Did you see it clearly?"

The servant said: "It was the guards who registered themselves. They said that Master Xiao He is just an older sister. The young master is sorry for her. Master Xiao He will not let it go..."

As soon as the words fell, the eldest princess threw the teacup on the ground and fell to pieces.

No one dared to take a loud breath.

After a while, Mother Fang asked the servant girl to sweep away the broken porcelain on the floor, helped the eldest princess into the inner room, and said softly: "Eldest princess, He Xichao is not easy to deal with, I'm afraid this matter will not be easy."

All the attacks against He Xichao in these years, not one of them succeeded, on the contrary they were defeated by the other party.

Now that all kinds of praises are given to him, and the crown prince has full trust, the emperor treats him differently, as if he is a new star in the court.

Most people avoid it.

The eldest princess couldn't help feeling angry when she heard this, she said with sharp eyes: "Why does he meddle in the family affairs of my princess mansion, and it's his turn to talk? What kind of thing is he? I'm sorry for He Lingshan, this bitch was born Waixin! He is not willing to let go, and I have to ask for an explanation! Hmph, can he still keep Zhan's daughter-in-law from returning to her husband's house?"

"Princess..."

"He Lingshan did such a thing to my son, can she justify it? If it gets out, how will Shaoqi behave? Even his daughter-in-law can't manage it well. Wouldn't my princess mansion become the laughing stock of others!"

Princess Liyang has been given preferential treatment since Emperor Tiangan ascended the throne.Among the princesses, she is the most. How has she ever been so angry?

A mere He Xichao, would she be afraid?

Seeing this, Mother Fang sighed in her heart, and persuaded: "In this case, Eldest Princess, we have to be more careful. After all, the prince is standing behind him, and the prince is obedient to him."

The eldest princess sneered: "Heh... a brat..."

"I'm not afraid of the rest, but I'm afraid that he will do something to the young master."

As soon as this remark came out, Princess Liyang's heart skipped a beat: "Immediately send someone to find Shaoqi, and tell him to be more careful."

"Yes."

"In addition, let people secretly watch He Xichao to see what he wants to do!"

"Yes."

Evening, He Fu

Ah Fu came in and told He Xichao: "Master, Commander Fan said that there are people watching outside our house."

He Xichao put down the Chinese book in his hand and said with a smile: "The eldest princess can't sit still, so don't worry about him. By the way, what did that person say?"

"Of course it's what the young master said, and he is desperate. He will go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow to complain." Ah Fu couldn't help sighing, "Master, do you think his sister is still there?"

He Xichao shook his head: "What happened a month ago, no one can say for sure. If we met earlier, maybe we could still find it. Now... I hope his sister is still alive."

After the next day, He Xichao didn't go back to He Mansion directly, but went to an extremely quiet place far away from the bustling street.

After a while, the guard on the side came to the window and said, "Master, someone is following."

"It's okay, it's people from the Princess Mansion, I just want them to follow."

Since He Xichao said so, the carriage continued to move forward until it stopped at the edge of an alley, when suddenly an unattractive man came up and saluted him: "Master."

He Xichao opened the curtain slightly, looked around the surrounding courtyards, and asked, "Which place?"

"Lanterns hang at the door, and it's called Autumn Garden."

He Xichao looked over after hearing the words, and said with a smile: "You really know how to find places. It doesn't look good. I don't know if there's something else going on inside?"

"This area is almost all the other courtyards of dignitaries. The gardens are far away from each other. Because it is a bit remote, the main house seldom comes. It is mostly used to raise the outer room or borrow it from others, so few people who come and go are familiar with it. .” The guard said.

"Who is the owner of this autumn garden?"

"It's a man named Huo Liang, but he was originally a servant of the princess mansion, but he was expelled because he committed a crime."

"Then the eldest princess will not be involved." He Xichao said.

The guard nodded: "Although he was expelled, he is now working in Zhan's house, and the whole family is in charge of the farm. Our people are watching, whether to arrest him."

"We are too deliberate in arresting, so let Mr. Fu Yin come." He stroked his chin, looked at Qiu Yuan and suddenly asked, "Is there any corpse brought out after so long surveillance?"

"The subordinates asked around, but they didn't see it."

"It seems that they are still inside."

The guard didn't deny it.

"Zhan Shaoqi is not in Beijing, but someone is here?"

The guard replied: "Yes, they are all sneaky, and they have to be regular customers, unfamiliar faces are not allowed, so be very vigilant."

"Naturally, you have to cover up that disgusting habit." He Xichao sneered, "This is the formation of an industrial chain, gathering a group of perverts!"

The guard didn't quite understand this, but it was clear that his master was angry.

He Xichao looked back for the last time: "Let's go, it's time for the world to be revealed."

He came and went without staying.

Followed the people behind him back to the princess mansion to report back.

"He really went to the Autumn Garden?" Princess Liyang asked sharply.

The guard reported: "Didn't come close, just stayed far away for a while, didn't even get out of the carriage. That area is not only the Autumn Garden, but also other houses. I don't know if Mr. Xiaohe is doing it for..."

Mother Fang said: "Whether it is or not, the eldest princess, you should close that place."

"That kid is really naughty, I didn't expect him to be able to touch it there." The eldest princess sneered.

Mother Fang said: "It's always right to be careful, and just in case, that Huo Liang, the eldest princess, can't stay?"

The eldest princess nodded: "You send someone to Zhan's house to tell you, and deal with it as soon as possible."

"Yes."

However, some things are always too late.

In the yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture, a strong man in a patched short shirt rang the grievance drum at the yamen gate.

A piece of paper sued the Zhan family for robbing the civilian daughter.

The man's surname was Zhuang, and it was said that his hometown was hit by a disaster, so he brought his younger sister to Beijing to join his relatives. Unexpectedly, his relatives were no longer there.Younger sister Zhuang is quite pretty, and when she was selling embroidery, she happened to be spotted by Zhan's family and deceived them to come from a foreign country.

Little brother Zhuang was beaten out several times when he wanted someone. He had no choice but to beat the drums to express his grievances.

And it was the long follower of Duke Wei's mansion who sent this strong man here.

"Lord Fu Yin, my father-in-law ran into this little brother on the road, and felt very unfortunate to hear what happened to him, so he ordered the little one to send him here to ask you to make decisions."

When did Wei Guogong take care of this matter?

The governor of Jingzhao was slandering in his heart, but he didn't say it out. He had seen this kind of thing a lot, but said: "It's natural, I must act impartially."

According to the pleadings, it was Huo Liang, the steward of the Zhan family's estate, who was responsible for kidnapping Xiaomei Zhuang for the Zhan family.

Needless to say anything, let's arrest this person and bring him to justice.

When the eldest princess received the news and ordered the Zhan family to deal with Huo Liang as soon as possible, this person had already been sent to prison.

Now, the eldest princess couldn't sit still.
