after i found out my new wife was a man

The rain didn't decrease, but the wind picked up again. Xu Yuanwu raised his face, feeling his cheeks were hurt by the rain.

The prince on the opposite side tightly grasped his collar, his eyes were wide open, his eyes were about to split open, the veins on the side of his neck were bulging, and the white light flashed by lightning reflected on half of his face, as if he was crawling from the ground. out of the evil spirits.

"What's the matter with this sword, huh?!"

The rain kept falling from the sky, so it accumulated on the ground, and gradually, it seemed to flow into a river. Xu Yuanwu seemed to have returned to the dream just now, and couldn't help shivering.

He looked at the soldiers standing under the eaves of the palace, lowered his voice like a taboo, and asked, "His Royal Highness, shouldn't this be what I asked you?"

The prince let go of his hand suddenly, his expression changed again and again, they were all the same distorted, the surroundings seemed to be frozen, Xu Yuanwu raised his eyes and looked over, the prince realized that the eyes of this person were bloodshot, scarlet like It can bleed directly.

Xu Yuanwu raised his foot forward, approaching step by step, his voice was so low that it seemed to be suppressed in his throat: "Your Highness, how did you swear to this minister before? Where is the cipher text on the sword in your mouth now?"

The prince suddenly took a few steps back.

Things have come to such a point that Xu Yuanwu's painful hesitation all this time has disappeared. He suddenly felt extremely ironic, and he sneered, but he was laughing at himself.

He took a deep breath, and his tone was almost hysterically calm, as if he had really given up something: "At this point, there is only one way. What is the address written on the sword?"

The crown prince replied blankly: "The pawnshop... the Xingning pawnshop in Qiwan Lane."

Xu Yuanwu turned around and said in a rapid voice, "The person who brought you will leave now."

The prince still couldn't find the situation: "Where are you going?"

"Of course I went to the pawn shop." Xu Yuanwu frowned and looked over, "You once said 'Once you get the address on the sword, you will naturally find the physical witnesses that will make the Xie family stand up', now that you don't have the address, you can only go to it directly. .”

"The emperor—"

"Is there any other way?" Xu Yuanwu interrupted him, "Have you forgotten the identity you arranged for me? If 'I' knew the address, it would make sense."

There was one more word he didn't say.

What the emperor wants is not the truth from the beginning to the end, so what is the process, even if it cannot convince the public, what does it matter?

Only then did the prince come to his senses, he quickly gathered his men and led the team into the boundless night.

Xu Yuanwu was at the front, probably because there was too much rain on his face, so that when it got into his eyes, he always felt that his eyes were sore, and he almost couldn't open them.

The cold and sticky feeling in the dream seemed to come again, Xu Yuanwu always felt empty in his heart, but it was getting heavier and heavier, as if he was gradually falling into a bottomless abyss.

------

Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, Ling'an Court.

Xie Lingyu suddenly heard a slight noise coming from outside the window, so he frowned slightly, and walked over to open the window.

There was nothing outside the window, except for the guard who gripped the scabbard violently and relaxed a little when he saw that he had no other movements, but his eyes were still fixed on his every move.

Xie Linghe looked around for a week, and was just about to close the window again, when there was a sudden commotion from the direction to the left of the garden gate.

Xie Ling paused slightly with the hand that closed the window, and quickly turned his head to look over - who knew that at the moment he paused, a figure suddenly flashed in while the guards also turned their heads.

Now Xie Ling and the whole person froze.

He froze there, his fingers holding the window trembled inconspicuously, and did not move for a long time, until the guard outside the door cast a weird and vigilant look, then he seemed to come back to his senses, slowly closed the window, lowered his eyes, Looking at the figure squatting on the ground, he didn't speak.

Xu Yaoling stood up, squeezed the stone in his hand tightly, pursed his thin lips, and said as if looking for something to say: "Yue Ming and I happened to meet outside the mansion, and he seems to be about to come... Who knows what's going on here?" With such a tight defense, he can only be responsible for causing the riot, and I came in alone."

Xie Ling and Dingding stared at this former friend, remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "Then what are you doing here?"

Xu Yaoling looked into his eyes, only felt that his pupils were deep and deep, as if he could suck him in, and the expression in them made him unclear.

It was with great difficulty that he got rid of all the attendants and came here, but until now, he suddenly realized that he had never thought about why he had to go to such lengths to come here.

Seeing him like this, Xie Linghe suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and used the last of his self-control to force himself to turn around and stop looking at him: "Let's go."

He was afraid that if he said even one more word, he couldn't help but speak ill at each other.

He was too emotional yesterday, and he didn't realize that Xu Yaoling probably didn't know what his father was doing until he returned to the room and gradually calmed down.

But what's the use of this?

Xu Yuanwu was his father.

Xie Lingyu didn't want to vent his anger, but it was mostly human nature. As long as he looked at this person, the anger and grief deep in his heart would uncontrollably spew out, and then he wanted to pour all his bad words on that person.

——This would be too ugly, and Xie Lingyu didn't even bother to do it.

Xu Yaoling looked at his back, stood motionless, did not speak again, but did not turn around and leave.

Xie Ling and his back were facing him, so Xu Yaoling couldn't see his expression at the moment, but the two grew up together, and he could probably guess that it was just after midnight, and he couldn't hear it, but he seemed to feel that it was getting closer The footsteps of the government soldiers.

So like a ghost, Xu Yaoling looked at his back in a daze, and said: "...I will help you, you go."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized what a stupid thing he had said.

"Go?" Xie Lingyu almost laughed angrily. He closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, turned around but couldn't restrain himself anymore, "Where do you want me to go? I can go." Where? On the contrary, it's you, it's already zero o'clock, if you don't leave quickly, General Xu and his troops will come over and see you in a while, so you won't be able to tell, right?"

Xu Yaoling's hand holding the stone became more and more forceful, and his thin lips turned white. He was always the most eloquent among the three of them, but now he couldn't say a single word.

Xie Lingyu didn't want to say any more, he lowered his eyes and watched Xu Yaoling holding Shizi's right hand, and suddenly leaning forward, stretching out his hand to grab it.

Xu Yaoling watched his movements, although he didn't know what he was going to do, but for some reason, he became more and more flustered, and could only clenched his right hand tightly in vain to prevent him from grabbing it.

Xie Lingyu looked at him, and exerted strength slowly. Xu Yaoling's fingertips were almost bluish, but he still couldn't stop his movement. He could only watch helplessly as his fingers were broken one by one.

This is... I just picked up the remaining stones from the ground to guide you to open the window.

What happened after that, when Xu Yaoling recalled it in the future, it was all a blur.

"It's useless," Xie Lingyu's face seemed to be engulfed in a thick mist, making it difficult for him to see clearly. He could only hear the person repeating, "It's no use anymore."

As soon as he exerted his strength, the stone was broken into powder and scattered from his hand, so he could never find it again.
