After being given to death by his fiancee [rebirth]

The results of the re-judgment came out soon, and Han Xiuyuan still topped the list, followed by Jiang Tan.

Those fraudsters confessed to Guo Jianshan, and Guo Jianshan pleaded guilty.

Those similar officials in the past were also exposed and sent to prison. Everything was going in a good direction, but Han Xiuyuan, who ranked second on the list, announced that he would give up the exam.

I don't know what happened, once he gave up the exam, Jiang Tan also gave up the exam.

Wei Xi just felt baffled, maybe the two of them had some brain problems, and even when she tried to persuade them, they were still stubborn.

Han Xiuyuan's reason is very good, "The family teacher is in prison, and the grassroots will not avoid suspicion. It will be the same. After the limelight passes, it will be the same if you take the exam again."

Wei Xi didn't care much about him, he liked to take the test but he didn't, but Jiang Tan seemed to be bewitched by Han Xiuyuan, saying that she also wanted to avoid suspicion.

"Guo Jianshan is not your mentor, why are you avoiding suspicion?"

Jiang Tan only said: "Victory is not martial."

"What I hate the most is you pedantic people!" Wei Xi was angry, "If everyone is like you, then just abandon them all!"

Han Xiuyuan cupped his hands, "His Royal Highness, calm down, we are not in a momentary mood, it's just that Cao Min and Jiang Juren hit it off, and with Jiang Juren's advice, Cao Min has a new understanding of current affairs, and I want to discuss it with her in depth."

"You put her on the head, what can she tell you?"

Han Xiuyuan shook his head lightly, "Jiang Juren has a strong temper, Caomin just took advantage of his tact, but being too tactful is sophistication. Caomin don't want sophistication, so they learn simplicity from Jiang Juren."

Hearing his master, Jiang Tan glanced at him.

Han Xiuyuan smiled, "Three of us must have my teacher."

"Whatever." Wei Xi didn't want to bother.

She turned to leave, but Han Xiuyuan called her.

"The teacher asked me to bring you a word."

Wei Xi paused, "Say."

"There is no right or wrong, only success or failure."

Wei Xi hummed, and Guo Jianshan's face appeared in front of his eyes again.

He really doesn't hate Xu Nanzhao?I'm afraid it's not likely.

Xu Nanzhao belongs to the faction of her father's family, and Guo Jianshan back then...was he from the Shen family's faction?Xu Nanzhao won, so he helped Xu Nanzhao, what if she won?

Wei Xi lost his mind for a moment, and the sound of horseshoes came to his ears.

"Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi!" Xu Ningzhi called her a little anxiously.

Wei Xi looked up, "What's wrong?"

"Wu Tai has been arrested."

Wei Xi's complexion changed slightly, and he took a few quick steps to get on the horse.

"what happened?"

She was riding too fast, Xu Ningzhi grabbed her belt and hurriedly explained, "He killed Wu Shang, the left servant of the Ministry of War, and was caught while running."

The left servant of the Ministry of War... Wei Xi desperately recalled.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they galloped to the prison of the Criminal Ministry.

Hitting Gu Qin head-on, Wei Xi grabbed her by the front, "Did you do it on purpose? You just let him die!"

"If you can't break it, you can't stand it." Gu Qin smiled lightly, "With all due respect, have you done anything practical these days, Your Highness?"

Wei Xi's pupils shrank slightly.

"Since you can't do it, I will do it for you." Gu Qin clasped her wrist, and slowly moved away, "As for your highness, if you have time, you can find a few more women to talk about love."

The slender fingertips brushed against her slender neck, and Gu Qin gently pushed her away.

After straightening the slightly messy front, Gu Qin walked in, "Miss Xu, you should stop having delusions that you don't want."

"What do you want to do?" Xu Ningzhi stared at her back.

Gu Qin tilted her head, "Of course it's something you don't dare to do and don't want to do. Miss Xu, I would like to advise you, don't stir up trouble."

"Do you know why you can't compare with Shen Rongnian?"

Xu Ningzhi clenched his fists.

"Greedy." Gu Qin's smile turned cold.

Wei Xi took a step forward, "Tell me what to do."

Gu Qin didn't answer her, and went straight into the prison.

Wei Xi didn't follow, his eyes were a little dazed.

Putting a hand on her shoulder, Xu Ningzhi said softly, "Xiaoxi, the late emperor left her to you, so naturally there was a deep meaning in it, no matter how dissatisfied she was with what you did, she would never betray you. She will do it."

"No." Wei Xi recovered, frowning tightly, "She's right."

She recalled Guo Jianshan's words again, father's family... mother's family, this is different from monarch and minister, Guo Jianshan and Gu Qin are both loyal to the emperor, but not necessarily loyal to her 'father's family'.

Xu Nanzhao was originally the representative of her father's family, but her father changed his mind in the last time. If she succeeds, the original enemy can be transformed into a friend, and the dog that is about to become a wolf will become an enemy. .

Her father knows Xu Nanzhao very well, and he certainly wouldn't think that her innocuous methods that have nothing to do with Xu Nanzhao can bring down Xu Nanzhao, and Xu Nanzhao's roots are her father's, so... If you want to overthrow Xu Nanzhao, you must overthrow her father...

Wiping his face, Wei Xi looked in the direction Gu Qin left, "I want to find justice for the Shen family, and she probably thinks the same way."

"Why do you always think about the Shen family!" Xu Ningzhi frowned.

Wei Xi turned to look at her, "What else? Don't you understand that the Shen family and I are both prosperous and wealthy?"

Before Xu Ningzhi could answer, Wei Xi said: "It's not that you don't understand, you don't want to understand, you are afraid that Sister Rong will snatch me away, so you would rather destroy me than destroy my relationship with Sister Rong and the Shen family. "

If you can't get it, you can destroy it, Xu Ningzhi can do it.

She would rather die with Wei Xi than let him go.

Wei Xi didn't want to fulfill her wish.

"Can you only rely on the Shen family?" Xu Ningzhi raised his face and asked.

Wei Xi looked at her fixedly, "It's not attachment, it's symbiosis."

If she fails to seize the throne, the Shen family will surely be doomed.

"You live with the Shen family, what about me?"

Wei Xi looked away, "Please think of me more."

"Okay." Xu Ningzhi looked indifferent, "I miss you and see you and Shen Rongnian sitting hand in hand in the country..."

Wei Xi turned around, "Everyone else is like this, but you can't?"

"It's all like this...is it right?"

She thought that Wei Xi was a different existence, but now, she told her, it's all like this... She is also like this.

"I've gone astray once for you."

Going astray...Xu Ningzhi lowered her head, did the bravery she thought was going astray in Wei Xi's eyes?Could it be that only Shen Rongnian is the right way?

Lifting her chin lightly with her fingertips, Wei Xi said in a soft voice, "I beg you, can you be wronged for a while? It's up to you to make trouble after all the dust settles."

When the dust settled, she would have no room to resist.

Gently standing on tiptoe, Xu Ningzhi kissed the corner of her lips with a smile.

"Just once."

Wei Xi finally smiled and kissed her back.

The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War was killed, but the murderer revealed that he had embezzled the military salary in Northern Xinjiang.

Three years ago, Ji Yuan's case was uncovered, and Wu Tai appealed for his innocence.

He submitted a piece of evidence, which clearly contained the food and salary allocation in northern Xinjiang for only ten years, and Wu Shang, the left servant of the Ministry of war, the house deed, land deed and shop income for the past ten years.

Wei Xi submitted dozens of her paintings in northern Xinjiang and the actual salary list in northern Xinjiang, plus a few letters Shen Rongnian sent her in recent years. When she couldn't help it, and only at that time, she would briefly regard Wei Xi as a reliance.

Wei Hong ordered a thorough investigation.

Wei Xi began to communicate with Shen Rongnian frequently, and Shen Rongnian told her a lot about the predicament in northern Xinjiang, especially after the third son of the Shen family died in battle.

The medicine that the Wei family holds to inherit the descendants is only to ensure the continuation of the blood of the family, and it is not open to the lower class or even the nobles. There was a lot of trouble, and the Shen family has been in a slump for the past few years.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Shen family still has a strong presence in northern Xinjiang, and because of these blows, the people in northern Xinjiang have become more united with the Shen family, and they have condensed into a rope to resist foreign enemies.

Many of Wei Xi's paintings praise the spirit of solidarity between the army and the people, but behind these lies endless suffering.

Insufficient food and clothing are the norm in northern Xinjiang, even when the third son of the Shen family was alive. Although every time Wei Xi went to the Shen family in northern Xinjiang, she would entertain her with the best things, but compared to the capital city, it can be said that it is one-sided. Heaven and hell.

Wei Xi had witnessed this, but it was only superficial.

While she was reading the letter, Xu Ningzhi was always by her side.

There was no emotion in her eyes, and she just suggested calmly: "You might as well ask her how the three sons of the Shen family died. It's best that they were hacked to death because they didn't have enough to eat and went to the battlefield."

"What do you mean!" Wei Xi was slightly annoyed.

Xu Ning's face was indifferent, "What do you mean, I'm helping you. If that's the case, those who embezzled military pay and rations are equivalent to indirectly killing the third son of the Shen family. Wouldn't it be easy to convict?"

"You..." Wei Xi couldn't speak, but she felt something was wrong.

Xu Ningzhi brushed off his sleeves, "This is the best way, but it only hurts the bravery of your three cousins, the most loyal Shen family...the descendants actually starved to death."

The meaning of her taunting this time was very obvious, Wei Xi slammed the case, "What do you know! You don't know anything!"

"The Mobei iron cavalry is several times stronger than the Shen family's army. Each of the Shen family's soldiers can defeat a hundred with one enemy, but every time they win miserably. The imperial court does not allocate food. When they join the Shen family army, they can't even eat enough. In the end, there are fewer and fewer direct descendants. ..."

Wei Xi's voice became smaller and smaller.

Xu Ningzhi didn't know, but she knew.

But what has she done?

No.

She just stood on the sidelines and watched with cold eyes, just lying in the golden house in the capital, drunk with money, and occasionally sighed for the poor people in northern Xinjiang.

As Guo Jianshan said, she also belongs to her father's clan.

Her father used such vicious means to dilute Shen Jiajun, but she pretended not to know anything, and even caused Shen Rongnian to suffer great humiliation for the so-called love with Xu Ningzhi...

Wei Xi held his head, trembling all over.

What the hell is she doing?

The palm of her hand fell to the top of her hair, and Xu Ningzhi's voice was cold, "It's useless to think, you have to do it, and you have to tell the world so that everyone in the world knows what kind of injustice and hardship the Shen family has suffered, and let everyone in the world know what happened to the Shen family." Merit is paid for with one's life, if there were no treacherous villains, the Shen family would have wiped out Mobei."

"Yes...you're right." Wei Xi raised his head slowly and kept murmuring, "Without them, the Shen family would be glorious forever..."

Xu Ningzhi hugged her head, and gently stroked her soft hair with fingertips, "Xiao Xi, that's not your fault."

Burying his head into her arms, Wei Xi gripped her sleeves tightly.

"You have done a good job." Xu Ningzhi comforted her softly.

Wei Xi was still immersed in his chaotic thoughts.

On September [-]th, there will be three joint trials.

Wu Tai was escorted to the center, Wei Xi took the top seat on behalf of Wei Hongduan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was at the bottom left, and other relevant officials.

Gu Qin came late and presented the file of Ji Yuan's case three years ago.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments looked at Wei Xi, who nodded slightly.

Clearing his throat, the Minister of Criminal Justice said loudly, "Who is under the hall?"

"Father's surname is Wu, and each name has the word Thai." Wu Tai's face was calm, and he was still kneeling straight while Mimu held him.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice said again: "Why did you kill the court officials?"

"Private enmity." Wu Tai's tone was light, "Ji Yuan is my brother. Three years ago, he was appointed as the branch of the household department. Wu Shang found out that he accused Ji Yuan of embezzling Northern Xinjiang's military pay, so I want to avenge Ji Yuan."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice narrowed his eyes slightly: "Regardless of what you said is true or not, Ji Yuan was beheaded three years ago, why did you avenge him until today? And you have disappeared for three years, why did you show up in the capital in recent months?"

"Someone told me that I can reverse the case for Ji Yuan."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice stood up, "Who?"

Wu Tai raised his eyes, looked around, and said, "Your Highness Seventh."

"Bold!" The Minister of Criminal Justice slammed the case on the table, "Ji Yuan's case involved Northern Xinjiang, and was tried by the late Emperor himself. His Royal Highness Seven is a cousin of the late Emperor's daughter, Shen's family. How could he overturn the case for Ji Yuan who embezzled Northern Xinjiang's military pay? Nonsense! "

Wei Xi raised his eyelids, "Master Shangshu, it's not about you. Besides, even if the emperor himself tried it, he might be deceived by treacherous officials. As the princess of Dayan, I must not let the loyal people be wronged." .”

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice was still indignant, "He is slandering His Highness!"

"It's not slander." Wei Xi leaned back and admitted directly, "It is true that the palace called Wu Tai to return to the capital, but he was impatient, and he didn't believe in the palace, so he insisted on going his own way to kill Wu Shang. The palace didn't know it at the time."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice seemed to be relieved, "It's good that His Highness doesn't know."

Wei Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, and sat up straighter, "It is true that Wu Tai made a mistake, and it is true that he killed the court officials, but he sued Wu Shang for embezzling northern Xinjiang's salary. Since Wu Shang is dead, Wu Tai should be imprisoned temporarily. Investigate both cases before making a verdict."

"What Your Highness said is very true." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment agreed with her.

Wei Xi patted the case on the table, "The evidence submitted by Wu Tai has been verified by the Japanese Palace and Gu Langzhong, and it is indeed true. The military rations and military salaries were allocated by the Ministry of War, but Wu Shang took advantage of his position to intercept the salary allocated by the Ministry of Households to Beijiang. The food is full of private pockets... Take a look, do you have any objections?"

Gu Qin held the evidence in his hand and showed it to the officials, big and small. They all nodded, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment made a final decision and said that there was no objection.

"Since that's the case, can it be confirmed that Ji Yuan was wronged?"

Minister of the Ministry of Punishments nodded, "Your Highness' conclusion is correct."

Afterwards, he said again: "But it is true that Wu Tai killed someone."

"He killed a sinner, a sinner who deserved to die long ago."

The Secretary of the Criminal Ministry shook his head, "Wu Tai hadn't been convicted when Wu Tai did it, so lynching is not advisable. If Wu Tai kills someone, no matter who he kills, he should be convicted."

"But he appealed for justice for the loyal and righteous people, and made Wu Shang again."

Wei Xi defended him, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs still shook his head, "Confucianism violates the law with literature, and chivalry with martial arts can be punished lightly, but it must be punished. Killing officials of the court is to seek rebellion. Wu Tai's inherent chivalry should not be flouted. The minister's opinion..."

"Then exile for three thousand miles." Wei Xi rushed to speak.

Wu Tai has no father, no mother, no children, and exile is better than beheading.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice opened his mouth, "Your Highness... wise."

Wei Xi continued: "Since the trial of Wu Tai and Ji Yuan is over, let's go to the trial of Wu Shang. This man defied the law and embezzled food and salaries in Northern Xinjiang. He should be executed according to the law."

"Wu Shang is dead, and then his relatives can be exiled. That's how the former emperor settled the case of Ji Yuan." The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment added.

Wei Xi shook his head and looked at Gu Qin.

"When I checked Wu Shang's case, I found out that a series of court officials were involved behind it." Gu Qin took out a list from his bosom, and presented it to Wei Xi with neither humility nor condescension.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment stretched his neck to look, Wei Xi threw it directly in front of his eyes.

Sweeping from top to bottom, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment's eyes fell on the last name, pursed his lips and said: "Slandering a court official is also a felony."

"Whether it is slander or not remains to be verified." Wei Xi squinted at him, "We are handling a case, so naturally we have to list all the suspects and summon them one by one, and then carefully distinguish and infer, and finally decide the case."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments only looked at Gu Qin, "Gu Langzhong, you have to think clearly, if you slander the court officials, I will put you in prison immediately."

"The lower officials are investigating the case, and the people above are only suspected, not guilty. Once they are found out, they will clear up their grievances. Don't worry about it, Lord Shangshu."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment turned cold and said hello three times.

"It seems that this official is going to sit for you."

Gu Qin arched her hands, "I dare not."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment stood up directly, "The matter is of great importance, and I need to ask for an order."

"Already invited." Wei Xi raised his chin.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment frowned, but he saw Xu Ningzhi stepping over the threshold, with a clear and beautiful voice, "Your Majesty has an order, please His Majesty the Seventh Highness, and Lord Shangshu will accept the order."

Wei Xi lifted the hem of his clothes, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment gritted his teeth and knelt down straight.

The rest of the people knelt on the ground. Xu Ningzhi read Wei Hong's edict and fully supported Wei Xi's investigation.

When the words fell, Wei Xi kowtowed, "I accept the order."

Xu Ningzhi helped her up and put the imperial decree in her hand.

Wei Xi looked at Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, "Let's go, Lord Shangshu."

"Your Highness, you can go." The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment smiled.

Wei Xi was not polite at all, and waved to the arresters quickly, "Go get him."

Wei Xi led most of the arrests to Xu's mansion, but Xu Nanzhao was not there, Madam Xu came out and said, "Your Excellency is in the palace."

Wei Xi looked at Xu Ningzhi, and Xu Ningzhi coughed lightly, "You go somewhere else first, I'll wait here, and I'll tell you when he comes back."

"Ning Zhi." Mrs. Xu took a step forward, squinting at her, "What are you doing? What do you mean by leading a group of arrests home?"

Just as Wei Xi was about to speak, Xu Ningzhi stopped her, "You go first."

"Where are you going? My wife still wants to entertain His Highness the Seventh." Mrs. Xu smiled, and made a sideways gesture, "Ningzhi has bothered His Highness for a long time, and my wife just apologized and thanked His Highness."

Wei Xi refused, "No need."

"It's all one family, Your Highness doesn't need to see outsiders." Mrs. Xu's smile gradually deepened, and she put her arms on Xu Ningzhi's shoulders kindly.

Xu Ningzhi hugged Wei Xi's arm, "She has something important to do."

"That way...then we won't delay His Highness. If we have time, we can invite His Highness to come to the mansion some other day." Mrs. Xu withdrew her hand.

Wei Xi glanced at her and pushed Xu Ningzhi's hand away, "Then I'm leaving, and you haven't been home for a long time, so stay with your mother."

"Xiaoxi..." Xu Ningzhi took her hand, "I'll be with you."

Mrs. Xu's smile remained unchanged, "This child is too clingy."

Just as he was speaking, the sound of horseshoes sounded.

The gorgeous carriage stopped beside the two of them, the attendant knelt down on the ground, his shoes stepped on his back, Madam Xu greeted them with a smile.

Xu Nanzhao brushed off his sleeves, and looked at Wei Xi with his hands behind his back.

"Let's go to the Criminal Department." Wei Xi said directly.

Xu Nanzhao looked surprised, "What does Your Highness mean?"

"Go and find out." Wei Xi threw out his long whip.

Xu Nanzhao looked embarrassed, "Your Highness doesn't say what you mean..."

"There is His Majesty's order to investigate the case." Wei Xi unfolded the imperial order.

Xu Nanzhao hummed, and then stretched out his hand for her to tie.

"This hall believes that Mr. Xu is innocent."

Wei Xi walked to the front, and Xu Ningzhi followed her.

Glancing at Xu Ningzhi's back, Xu Nanzhao followed with his sleeves thrown.

The rest of the police quickly went to arrest the remaining people, and they gathered in the Ministry of Criminal Justice not long after.

Wei Xi returned to his original position and gestured to Gu Qin.

There were only a handful of people brought here, but they all had high ranks and could not be moved easily. Gu Qin read out their crimes first.

These old guys arrogantly refuted her as slander, Gu Qin asked them to present evidence, and they talked about him again and again.

Wei Xi slammed the table, "Shut up!"

"The land deeds, house deeds, business deeds, and shop deeds are all here, and the proceeds that have not been transferred are also secretly transferred to your hands. Wu Shang's tens of thousands of taels of gold fell into the bank every year and ran into your pockets. He is still messing around here!"

They wanted to quibble, Wei Xi slapped the table loudly, "For such a small amount of money, you disregarded the country of Dayan! Disregarded the stability of the border! Disregarded the soldiers of northern Xinjiang! You are the sinners of Dayan, you should be pushed out and beheaded!" "

"Your Highness's words are wrong." Xu Nanzhao said calmly.

Wei Xi looked at him, "Tell me, this palace wants to see how you want to quibble, embezzling military pay and rations, entrapping soldiers in northern Xinjiang, until the third son of the Shen family died in battle, you will be blamed for dying!"

"Your Highness only knows that Wu Shang's purse is in our hands, but he doesn't know where our purse has gone." Xu Nanzhao chuckled lightly, looking calm and composed.

Wei Xi clenched his fists, "Say it."

Xu Nanzhao looked around, "Your Highness, are you sure?"

"Is there anything I can't see..."

Wei Xi was hoarse halfway, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

Seeing this, Xu Ningzhi raised the imperial decree in his hand, "Everyone go down."

Everyone retreated as promised, only the two of them and Xu Nanzhao remained.

Xu Nanzhao raised his clothes and sat down on the chair, rubbing the jade wrench with his fingertips, "His Royal Highness really wants to know?"

Wei Xi gritted his teeth, "Say."

"Has Your Highness ever counted the late emperor's private treasury?"

Wei Xi took a step back, almost dizzy.

"The key to the late emperor's private treasury is held by Chief Yan Wei, and Chief Yan... seems to have belonged to His Highness."

Xu Ningzhi's complexion changed drastically, Xu Nanzhao smiled slightly, and put his knuckles upright to his mouth, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will keep it a secret for you."

Wei Xi rushed over and grabbed his neck, Qingjun's face became grim, and he pinched him down with dead hands.

"Ning...Ningzhi..."

Xu Ningzhi quickly stretched out his hand to pull Wei Xi, but Wei Xi was so strong that she couldn't pull him.

"Xiaoxi, calm down." Xu Ningzhi was in a hurry.

Wei Xi turned a deaf ear to it, and the veins on his hands were bulging, viciously.

"Don't you want justice?" Xu Ningzhi desperately broke her hand.

Wei Xi was like a nail, "Killing him is justice."

"It is justice for you to tell the world that the first emperor swallowed the food and pay of Northern Xinjiang!" Xu Ningzhi growled, "It is absolutely impossible to kill him without knowing why!"

"Then what do you want me to do!" Wei Xi yelled.

The first emperor swallowed the food and pay of northern Xinjiang... a joke!This is the biggest joke!The traitor she was looking for was her father!It's a joke in the world!

"You calm down first."

Suddenly, Wei Xi let go, hugged her and cried loudly.

The front was instantly wet, and Xu Ningzhi hugged her tightly in silence.

Xu Nanzhao slid to the ground and coughed violently.

"Hey, let's go back first." Xu Ningzhi whispered.

Wei Xi was crying uncontrollably, and was half hugged and half carried away by her.

Everyone was surprised when they saw her come out crying. She was so arrogant before, why did the pear blossoms rain after a while?

Ignoring everyone's eyes, Xu Ningzhi took her away and took her away. Gu Qin pinched his palms, his brows were gloomy, and he looked at Wei Xi with a little anger.

After returning to the mansion, Wei Xi was still crying.

Xu Ningzhi had no choice but to hug her and coax her softly, Wei Xi kept sobbing, she didn't want to care about these things anymore, she just wanted to escape.

"Good little Xi." Xu Ningzhi picked her up and wanted to wipe her tears, but Wei Xi kept pushing her into her arms.

"Don't you want to fight?" Xu Ningzhi picked her up again.

Wei Xi covered her ears, Xu Ningzhi pushed her hand away, "Wei Xiaoxi!"

She was so big, even Xu Ningzhi couldn't handle her when she refused all the time, the two of them rolled into a ball pushing and shoving.

Wei Xi cried in her arms, while Xu Ningzhi lay on his back and sighed.

Crying and crying, the tears dried up, Wei Xi rubbed his eyes and cried out for pain.

Xu Ningzhi patted her hand off, held her face and blew gently.

"Why did you stop me?" Wei Xi thumped her.

Xu Ningzhi hissed, "Can you be gentle?"

Wei Xi continued to beat her, "I knew you were plotting something wrong!"

Xu Ningzhi grabbed her hand, "Okay, okay, it hurts."

Pulling away her hand, Wei Xi hugged the pillow and closed his eyes.

"Lie down first, I'll get you hot water."

In the next breath, Xu Ningzhi was hit by the pillow.

Wei Xi turned his back to her and closed his eyes tightly.

After two breaths, the pillow was thrown back.

Wei Xi threw it back again, just in time to hit the closed door.

Xu Ningzhi's footsteps gradually faded away, Wei Xi lay on the couch, paralyzed in a large font, staring at the roof in a daze.

Your mother's family died in your father's family.

Guo Jianshan's words sounded again, Wei Xi covered his ears.

The vague faces of the eldest cousin and the second cousin reappeared in her mind. In the few times they got along with each other, they treated her better than Shen Rongnian, especially the eldest cousin Shen Congnian, who always hugged her high and carried her Just kidding, in her memory, he still looks like a teenager.

But he has been dead for ten years.

The second cousin was only two years behind him and died in battle at the same age.

Even the third cousin, Shen Lannian, who didn't like her at all, became alive again. No one in the Shen family has ever treated her badly.

But she... didn't even have the courage to uphold justice for them.

The lacrimal glands were dried up, and Wei Xi's eyes were left with pain.

There was a creak behind him, and the sound of footsteps approaching.

The warm soft towel covered her eyes from the side, Xu Ningzhi straightened her body, "Close your eyes, don't think about it."

"I'm a sinner." Wei Xi said hoarsely, "I shouldn't have been born."

It is right for Shen Lannian to resent the royal family, she bears the dirty blood of the royal family, she does not deserve to have a blood relationship with the Shen family.

"You are fine." Xu Ningzhi leaned over and rubbed her face lightly, "The first emperor was the first emperor, you are you, none of that is your fault."

"But I have enjoyed the favor of the Shen family." For her kindness, she should be rewarded, but she did not bring any benefits to the Shen family.

Instead, her father... wanted to overthrow the Shen family.

"You are working hard to repay them." Xu Ningzhi took her hand and gently covered her heart, "Xiaoxi, you have a clear conscience."

"I'm ashamed."

Xu Ningzhi pressed his face to her heart, "It's not your fault."

"Sister Rong." Wei Xi gripped her wrist tightly, "I'm sorry for her."

Xu Ningzhi's body was slightly stiff, and Wei Xi pinched her wrist even more vigorously, "Xu Ningzhi...Ningzhi, I'm sorry for her, I'm really sorry for her..."

It can be said that the other things were not her fault, but Shen Rongnian...

"Then what do you want? Kill me to make up for her?"

Wei Xi became depressed again, "I don't know."

"You know." Xu Ningzhi lifted the soft towel.

The dazzling light made Wei Xi unable to open her eyes, Xu Ningzhi clasped her wrists and pressed them to the sides, "You keep saying that you owe the Shen family, but you don't owe me, right? Even my own father, Xu Nanzhao, has a grudge against the Shen family, In such a situation, you can't make a choice...Xiao Xi, is it difficult to admit that you love me?"

"You only think about a little bit of love and love."

Xu Ningzhi sneered, "Aren't you troubled by this bit of love?"

"I do not have……"

Xu Ningzhi looked directly at her, "If you really feel sorry for her, you can kill me. Kill me to claim credit for your sister Rong. No one will say that you are wrong."

"Don't force me."

Xu Ningzhi took out a dagger from his sleeve and stuffed it into her hand, "Kill me, you won't be in such pain if you kill me."

The cold handle of the knife touched her skin, and Wei Xi's eyes were distracted.

"Xiaoxi, love and family affection are different. You don't love her at all. You only have sisterly affection for her. You don't owe her a debt of love, and there is no need to repay it as a debt of love." Xu Ningzhi held her hand Clenching the handle of the knife with the back of your hand, "If you insist on repaying her love debt, then kill me, kill me, and then you can repay her."

Wei Xi didn't respond, but just stared at her blankly.

Xu Ningzhi gritted his teeth, held her hand and stabbed upwards.

The bright red blood soaked through the skirt of his clothes, and Wei Xi's pupils shrank slightly.

Xu Ningzhi couldn't bear it anymore and hit her head on her shoulder.

Scarlet blood flowed onto her hands, and the sweet and bloody smell pouring into her nose, Wei Xi stared blankly at her hair.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

A spring gushed out of the dry land, and Wei Xi pulled out his dagger in a panic.

Blood splashed onto her face, and Wei Xi staggered and hugged her to the bed, almost falling to the ground.

Second time...

It was the same imperial doctor from before, who bandaged Xu Ningzhi's wound with a livid face, and gave a lot of instructions to the maid without even looking at Wei Xi.

Wei Xi knelt in front of the couch, shaking Xu Ningzhi's hand.

what has she done?

Shen Rongnian...Xu Ningzhi...it's all because of her.

She is guilty.

"The wound is not deep, so I can wake up tonight." The imperial doctor raised his voice and handed the medicine bottle to the maid, "Take good care of it, and you will be fine in ten days and half a month."

Wei Xi lay on the bed and cried.

The imperial doctor gritted his teeth and stuffed two bottles of medicine to the maid, "This is for removing scars, and that is for improving eyesight. One is applied externally and the other is taken internally."

After explaining, the imperial doctor threw up his sleeves and left.

Wei Xi still held onto Xu Ningzhi's hand, the maid came over and advised, "Go and rest first, the maid will tell you when Miss Xu wakes up."

Wei Xi wiped her tears and shook her head like a rattle, "She must want to see me as soon as she opens her eyes, I will wait for her to wake up."

"Then you can eat something." The maid brought her a bowl of porridge.

Wei Xi didn't even look at it, but kept crying.

"Miss Xu definitely doesn't want to see you like this." The maid continued to persuade, leaning over to cover her face with a soft towel, "Miss Xu will definitely feel distressed when she wakes up and sees your eyes so red."

Wei Xi pulled the soft towel from her hand and touched Xu Ningzhi's face, and gently wiped away the tears that dripped on Xu Ningzhi's face.

The maid sighed, Wei Xi drove her away crying, "She can only look at me, you go, don't stay here!"

"Your Highness..."

Wei Xi stood up straight away, pushed her out, and slammed the door hard.

Xu Ningzhi's face on the couch was as white as a female ghost, Wei Xi knelt down to the side of the couch with heavy steps, took her hand and put it on his face.

The cold fingertips that were always cold made her want to cry, and Xu Ningzhi's sleeping appearance seemed to never wake up again.

Wei Xi held hers with both hands, rubbing them constantly, trying to warm her up, but the result disappointed her.

"Ningzhi..." Wei Xi's tears dripped down her face again, and the teardrops rolled back and forth in the red and swollen eye sockets, "Wake up...look at me..."

The sour water flowed down from the forehead, Xu Ning's long eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his fingertips also moved.

One drop after another of tears flowed down and dried up, Wei Xi gradually couldn't cry, but still kept sobbing.

The bright moon turns to the child hour.

Wei Xi sat on the dragon chair and stared down at all the ministers.

The woman next to her was wearing a solemn court dress, her every move was graceful and luxurious, and she followed Wei Xi's footsteps to step up the golden steps.

Wei Xi held hers in his hand and hugged her into his arms.

At their feet, they knelt and conspired against Xu's family.

"Decisively." The new emperor ordered coldly.

Shen Rongnian next to her leaned gently on her shoulder, clasped fingers tightly with Xindi, and smiled as he watched the blood spattered three feet from the traitor at his feet.

"Xiaoxi!" Xu Ningzhi woke up from the nightmare.

A hoarse voice sounded, "I'm here."

"Xiaoxi..." Xu Ningzhi wanted to hug her, but there was pain in his left shoulder.

Wei Xi hurriedly held her down, eyes full of anxiety.

"Xiaoxi..." Xu Ningzhi stared at her intently.

Wei Xi leaned down, pressed her long eyelashes and kissed her lightly.

With his right hand hooked around her neck, Xu Ningzhi raised his face and approached her.

Afraid of hurting her, Wei Xi only touched her and left.

Xu Ningzhi hooked her to prevent her from getting up, and took a deep sniff of her clean and pleasant smell, "Xiaoxi..."

"I'm here." Wei Xi put his hands on her side to avoid her wound.

Xu Ningzhi pinched her ears, "Say you love me."

"Love you." Wei Xi rubbed her cheek with tears in his eyes, "Ningzhi, I love you, I will never run away again, I will never back down again."

Xu Ningzhi's voice was low, "Not enough."

Not enough.

Nothing is enough.

"I figured it out. Family affection is family affection, and love is love." Wei Xi anxiously explained to her, "I will compensate Sister Rong in other ways, and I will not give up on you."

Incomplete love is not fair to Shen Rongnian.

"Don't cry anymore." Xu Ningzhi touched the side of her eyes with his fingertips, "My petite Xiaoxi, seeing you cry makes my heart ache."

Wei Xi wiped away her tears with her sleeves, "I won't cry, don't cry, don't leave me."

"Why would I leave you." Xu Ningzhi pulled out a smile, "It's too late to pester you, how can I be willing to leave you."

Wei Xi hugged her tightly, "Don't scare me anymore, if you want to cut me, don't hurt yourself anymore."

"How can I be willing?" Xu Ningzhi caressed her face.

Wei Xi will feel bad only if he cuts at himself.

"It's all my fault, my trash." Wei Xi slapped himself on the head hard, his eyes full of self-blame.

Xu Ningzhi grabbed her hand, "It's not your fault."

"When I opened my eyes and saw you, I was so happy."

Wei Xi buried her head in her palm, "I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize to me." Xu Ningzhi said softly, looking at Wei Xi stupidly, "Our Xiaoxi is the best, she will never do anything wrong."

Wei Xi buried her in her arms, and Xu Ningzhi patted her on the back.

"Your Highness..." The maid stood in front of the threshold, "Please see Mr. Gu."

Wei Xi just pretended not to hear, and Xu Ningzhi just stared at her softly, and his hands were neither light nor heavy.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, Wei Xi was pulled back by the back of the door, she threw him over her shoulder without even thinking about it, and shrank back into Xu Ning's arms without even looking at it inside.

"Wei Xi!"

Behind him was Gu Qin's roar, Wei Xi just hugged Xu Ningzhi like a baby bird, completely ignoring Gu Qin's existence.

From the back of the shoulder to the neck, Xu Ningzhi's fingertips seemed to have magical powers. Wei Xi just wanted to drown in her arms and never wake up.

"What is Mr. Gu doing?" Xu Ningzhi asked lightly.

Although she doesn't want anyone to break
