After being given to death by his fiancee [rebirth]

About half an hour later, Wei Xi dismounted.

The hall of worship was as dead silent, the coffin boards were pushed away, and the inside was empty, Wei Xi knelt down with a plop.

She knelt and kowtowed three times to the tablet of her ancestors, deeply regretful.

"Xiaoxi, it's not your fault." Xu Ningzhi stretched out his hand to support her, "Our top priority is to recover the late emperor's body."

Wei Xi stood up slowly, looking dazed.

"Xiaoxi, cheer up." Xu Ningzhi rubbed the top of her hair, and led her out of the hall.

Wei Xi clasped her hand tightly and hugged her sideways.

With her head resting on his shoulders, Xu Ningzhi lowered his eyes, staring at her delicate profile and cute ears.

She still had a mournful look on her face, but she couldn't help touching Wei Xi's ear, and said, "Xiao Xi doesn't cry."

The person in his arms paused for a moment, then raised his head, his long eyelashes were still stained with tears, Xu Ningzhi blinked, "Xiao Xi is good."

Clenching his fists, Wei Xi distanced himself from her, raised his sleeves, wiped his eyes, and stepped out of the sacrificial hall.

There was still a little warmth on his hand, so Xu Ningzhi chased after him.

The imperial guards were standing outside the hall, Wei Xi asked the teacher with red eyes, "How do you guard it!"

The leading imperial guards cupped their hands, "Your Highness, calm down."

"Ying Rong!" Wei Xi gritted his teeth, pointed at the nose of the leader of the imperial army and cursed, "Father respects you so much, you can't even look down on his dead body! Do you deserve to be the commander of the imperial army!"

Ying Rong bent his knees, "I cannot escape the blame for my death."

"It's no exaggeration to punish the Nine Clans!" Wei Xi looked at him sullenly, "Immediately, seal the city gates and search the whole city."

Ying Rong kowtowed, "Obey."

Wei Xi returned to the sacrificial hall and kowtowed three times to the empty coffin.

Xu Ningzhi whispered next to her, "What are you doing?"

"Search." Wei Xi's eyes were cold, and she pulled up her sleeves, "If you don't investigate, Dayan will be ruined to the root."

Xu Ningzhi moved his lips, but said nothing.

"It's all from your Xu family." Wei Xi snorted coldly, shook her off and got up, "Wolf ambition."

Xu Ningzhi sighed helplessly, "Xiaoxi, haste makes waste, you are too reckless."

Wei Xi turned to stare at her, "It's not your turn to teach me a lesson."

"Then who do you want to come? Even if Shen Rongnian is here, she may not always listen to you." Xu Ningzhi glanced at the coffin and whispered, "Now hundreds of pairs of eyes in the capital are staring at you. Big, you can't resist."

Wei Xi narrowed his eyes and examined her.

"I have a suitable person in my hands." Xu Ningzhi looked at her steadily, his eyes burning, "He will die for you."

Wei Xi curled his hands, Xu Ningzhi leaned on her shoulder, pinched her earlobe and whispered, "He will die for you, and he will die because of you."

After speaking, Xu Ningzhi backed away.

Wei Xi froze in place, her brows furrowed.

Xu Ningzhi said softly, "Do you still want me to accompany you?"

"If you don't, I'll go back."

In the next breath, Wei Xi grabbed her wrist.

"Trust me for now."

The corners of his lips rose, and Xu Ningzhi held her hand instead.

Wei Xi went to the east of the city to search, and among the seven names, an unremarkable person ranked first.

Xu Ningzhi followed her, sighing inaudibly.

The east of the city is where dignitaries gather, but the person Wei Xi is looking for is just a small sixth-rank official, and he comes from a poor family.

People in the east of the city were very dissatisfied with the siege by the imperial army, let alone search, they firmly disagreed.

All the guards came out to confront the imperial army.

When Wei Xi arrived, the imperial army was at a disadvantage.

The leader is Song Guogong's mansion, relying on his prominent family background, he didn't pay attention to this group of forbidden soldiers at all.

Wei Xi also ignored them, standing on the horse and condescendingly, "Who dares to disobey orders? Kill without mercy."

The crowd became agitated. The young man in the front wore a long sword and raised his eyelids, "What a big tone."

"What, you want to disobey?" Wei Xi looked down at him, his voice was low, "Song Heng, I don't want your Duke Song's mansion to lose all children and grandchildren."

Song Heng didn't care about her threats, and continued lazily, "Resist orders? Whose orders are you to resist? Your Highness the Seventh Prince?"

There was contempt in his eyes and a provocative tone.

Just as Wei Xi was about to explode, Xu Ningzhi stopped her.

"Young Master Song." Xu Ningzhi looked serious, "The Imperial Army obeys His Majesty's orders, and the Imperial Army marches are naturally obeying His Majesty's order. I hope that Young Master Song will speak carefully."

Song Heng snorted lightly, folded his arms, and looked at her unscrupulously, "Where is the imperial decree?"

"The matter is urgent, and the imperial decree will come soon."

Song Heng snorted, "Then wait for the imperial decree to arrive."

"Naturally." A warm smile appeared on Xu Ningzhi's face.

Song Heng was dazzled by that smile, and stared straight at her. Wei Xi raised his hand to cover Xu Ningzhi's eyes in displeasure.

His eyes darkened, and there was an extra hand around his waist. Xu Ningzhi took advantage of the situation and leaned back, obediently tucked into her arms.

"Yo." Song Heng clicked his tongue, with strange yin and yang, "Your Highness the Seventh Prince really has a good daughter-in-law who can take care of both internal and external affairs. Your Highness sits back and enjoys her success, which I really envy."

With a flash in front of his eyes, Xu Ningzhi quickly grabbed Wei Xi's sleeve.

"Xiaoxi, calm down."

Wei Xi gritted his teeth and glared at Song Heng. This person has been against her since she was a child. He even snatched Xu Ningzhi from her back then, but he didn't snatch her. times, and Xu Ningzhi always advised her that peace is the most important thing.

The old and new grudges combined, Wei Xi was very angry.

Song Heng continued to mock her: "Your Highness Seventh, it's better to stay in the mansion to eat, drink and have fun, so that Miss Xu will not always be scared by you."

With a bang, Wei Xi got off his horse and swung his whip.

At that time, Song Heng was still standing idly.

When the long whip fell and the barbs stuck into the flesh, Song Heng let out an ear-piercing cry of pain, covered his face and trembled.

Blood was spilled on the ground, Wei Xi glanced at the crowd coldly, "Whoever dares to disobey orders will end with him."

Xu Ningzhi held the rein and pursed his lips.

Song Heng was already cursing, and people from the Duke's Mansion dragged Song Heng away.

The crowd took a step back, Wei Xi ordered, "Search."

The crowd made way, and the imperial guards rushed in.

Xu Ning dismounted and said in disapproval, "Do you know how many people you have offended?"

"Offended?" Wei Xi shook the blood off his whip and sneered, "I'm afraid of offending them? What are they?"

Xu Ningzhi shook his head, "You really haven't grown up at all."

It's still the same as when I was a child, unafraid to run amok, ignorant and frivolous when I was young, but Wei Xi is gone.

"I told you, there's no need for you to teach me a lesson." Wei Xi said coldly, what she hated most was other people's preaching.

Xu Ningzhi didn't bother, and said seriously: "Xiaoxi, you really should change your temper."

"Change? Change it to yours?"

Xu Ningzhi nodded, "Is this not good for me?"

"You are just from a humble background." Wei Xi dismissed it.

Xu Ningzhi was noncommittal. Wei Xi also said the same thing when he was 12 years old. At that time, Wei Xi fought with people every day and always came to her with injuries. She gave her medicine and advised her to be patient. But Wei Xi yelled about her concubine mother and concubine Shen Rongnian, scolding her because she came from a humble background and always wanted to endure.

Although it sounds ugly, it is true.

"My lord, you are also a concubine." Xu Ningzhi rolled his eyelids, his face expressionless, "Do you remember how many brothers and sisters you have?"

Wei Xi snorted, turned his back and refused to answer.

"Eleven, the youngest sister is only three years old." Xu Ningzhi looked at her back with a clear voice, "But I think you are not as good as her."

Because of his strong background, Wei Xi will never grow up.

Sometimes, honey is also arsenic.

Wei Xi turned around angrily, Xu Ningzhi's eyes were quiet, "When you grow up, I will be old."

She is obviously only two years older than Wei Xi, but sometimes she feels 20 years older than her, not like a sister, but like a mother.

However, it's hard to say what Wei Xi takes her for.

"You look down on me again!" Wei Xi was about to die of anger. Xu Ningzhi always looked at her like an adult watching a child, saying that she was ignorant every day, and always liked to explain all kinds of truths to her earnestly, as if she really Not as good as her three-year-old sister.

Xu Ningzhi shrugged, "How dare I."

Gritting his teeth, Wei Xi swallowed his anger, stopped talking to Xu Ningzhi, got on his horse and rode away.

A team of imperial guards followed her, and Wei Xi went straight to her destination - the mansion of Tian Tonghai, the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

This is the first day of the new year, and all Beijing officials have to go to court. When the first emperor's body was stolen and discovered, Xu Nanzhao led the officials to the early court, so Xu Nanzhao directly ordered the imperial army to guard the officials, and did not let them go back to the palace.

This is convenient for Wei Xi, and the family members in Tian Tonghai's mansion did not expect Wei Xi to search it himself.

The family members were driven outside, and Wei Xi broke into the study.

Although she didn't know what to find, she was always right to find, the late emperor would not leave those seven names for no reason.

The study room is huge, and Wei Xi searched over and over again, putting out every book to check if there was anything in it, and in the end she did find some clues.

It was a ledger, which clearly recorded the amount of silver taels and the number of people who were obscure.

Wei Xi put the ledger into his pocket, and was about to check if there was anything else, when the door of the study was pushed open.

"What did you find?" Xu Ningzhi kicked the book on the ground.

Wei Xi settled the account book and frowned, "What are you doing here?"

"I can't come in?" Xu Ningzhi stepped on the books on the floor and walked over, and took a book next to her shoulder, "Look at you making such a mess, and you're still sneaky, do you know that?"

Wei Xi frowned, and walked around to the other side.

Xu Ningzhi put the book back and followed her footsteps.

Wei Xi began to flip through each book again, but every time she picked up a book, she could see Xu Ningzhi's face on the opposite side, which made her very unhappy.

Xu Ningzhi stared at her unblinkingly until she felt hairy all over, Wei Xi had no choice but to fight back the discomfort.

After a while, Xu Ningzhi went around to her.

The moment she leaned over, Wei Xi couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her towards the bookshelf, "Are you annoying!"

The person on the opposite side was very close, and their breaths were sprayed on her face quickly, and one of Xu Ning swept her delicate eyebrows and eyes.

The sun shone on her face, and Xu Ningzhi recalled in a daze what the child with red lips and white teeth said when he reached out to her for the first time eight years ago.

"You look good, I like you."
