In the end, Xu Zhongjie, who returned to the court as a teacher, handed over the tiger talisman, and was conferred the title of Uncle Jian Zhong by His Majesty the Emperor, and bestowed a thousand hectares of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold.Xu Tingzhi, the elder brother of the Xu family, Qi Baiwei and Chen Jiyun, his sons-in-law, were all named Generals of Loyalty, with a household of [-] households, while veteran He Wei was named General of Guide, with a household of [-] households.As for the others, they are rewarded for their merits.

However, after some time, His Majesty the Emperor transferred Xu Yezhi to Honglu Temple to serve as Minister of Honglu Temple, acting as an agent for various matters of Honglu Temple.

Honglu Temple Minister is a third-rank official position, which is the same as Xu Yezhi's previous rank, but its importance is far inferior.Obviously, Xu Yezhi was marginalized by His Majesty the Emperor.

Regarding this arrangement, Xu Yezhi did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, and continued to serve His Majesty the Emperor conscientiously and conscientiously every day.However, Wang Xifeng still sensed that there was something on his mind, even a little contradictory.

At first, Wang Xifeng only thought that Xu Yezhi was restless because he was marginalized by politics, but as time went by, Wang Xifeng found that Xu Yezhi spent more and more time thinking and spending more and more time in the study. , she was not sure.

Could it be that he is tired of himself?

Wang Xifeng couldn't help asking herself.

But obviously he will go back to the main room every night?Moreover, when I was sleepy, I could clearly feel Xu Yezhi's gentle touch. If I said that he was tired of me, I'm afraid it wouldn't be justified, right?

Wang Xifeng couldn't figure it out, but she had to think about it, because she really couldn't see Xu Yezhi tormenting herself like this.Wang Xifeng even felt that she should have a good talk with Xu Yezhi, even knowing his inner world is good.

Another day, Xu Yezhi still came back from the study very late, and after washing up, he went to bed with Wang Xifeng.

And Wang Xifeng had already sent away the maid who served at night, and was going to take advantage of the darkness to talk about what was in the heart of the husband and wife.

Xu Yezhi also sensed Wang Xifeng's thoughts and did not stop him.

So that after the lights were turned off, the two of them lay quietly on the bed, both thinking about the next conversation.

After nearly a quarter of an hour of silence, Wang Xifeng took the lead in taking action.

She slowly leaned towards Xu Yezhi, wanting to snuggle her whole body into his arms.

Xu Yezhi also wrapped his arms around Wang Xifeng's waist naturally, and lowered his head to kiss Prince Xifeng's forehead.

The two hugged each other, feeling the warmth from each other.

"Master, have you got something on your mind recently?" Wang Xifeng asked cautiously. She was not sure whether Xu Yezhi was willing to talk about this topic, so she asked more cautiously.

"Hmm." Xu Yezhi replied in a deep voice.

"But about the matter of being transferred to Honglu Temple?"

"No."

"Is that because His Majesty the Emperor fears our Xu family?"

Facing the question asked by Wang Xifeng, Xu Yezhi couldn't help being silent for a while, and finally replied: "It's related."

"Are you worried that our Xu family will be suppressed in the future?"

Xu Yezhi was silent again, and replied, "It's related."

"So what are you trying to do to change this situation?"

This time, Xu Yezhi remained silent for a longer time, just when Wang Xifeng thought he would not answer, Xu Yezhi still spoke: "Yes."

Wang Xifeng felt that she was getting closer and closer to Xu Yezhi's heart, but the closer she got, the more she felt a little scared in her heart.

However, Wang Xifeng continued to ask, firstly for the truth, and secondly because she wanted to share Xu Yezhi's inner anxiety.

"Are you going to let the Xu family act in a low-key manner, and slowly dispel His Majesty's suspicion?"

The answer to her this time was silence, endless silence.

But Wang Xifeng already had the answer in his heart.Accompanied by this answer was her beating heart in a mess, and her brain was a mess.

Wang Xifeng felt that his mouth was extremely dry, and the sweat on his back was wet over and over again.

Feeling the trembling and panic coming from Wang Xifeng, Xu Yezhi wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say, after all, he was the one who caused all this.All he could do was to hug Wang Xifeng even tighter.

In fact, Xu Yezhi also struggled, is it really necessary to block the lives of the whole family for that possible social situation?After all, although the emperor is afraid of their Xu family, he hasn't done anything yet, has he?

But it is only a matter of time before the emperor strikes at their Xu family, thinking that his grandfather and great-grandfather were removed by the emperor under the pretense of foreign enemies. Do we have to bet on the emperor's mercy?

The answer is no, Xu Yezhi would rather fight by himself than let others control his life and death.

I don't know how long it took before Wang Xifeng finally found her voice, she asked in a trembling voice, "Master, have you decided yet?"

"Yes." Xu Yezhi gave an affirmative answer this time.

For Wang Xifeng, Xu Yezhi was very sorry, he didn't want Wang Xifeng to be afraid with him, but this matter was too risky, and Xu Yezhi didn't want Wang Xifeng to find out until the last moment.

Wang Xifeng felt that what Xu Yezhi wanted to do was crazy, but she didn't know whether she should dissuade her, after all, she didn't know much about these things.Wang Xifeng, who doesn't understand, can only evaluate Xu Yezhi's behavior through the thoughts of people who understand.

"What do father and brother think?"

"They also want to gamble." Xu Yezhi said truthfully.

Xu Yezhi's answer made Wang Xifeng feel relieved a little. Since her father and elder brother both supported it, why would she have any reason to object?

Even if this matter is dangerous, even if this is a road that cannot be turned back, what is there to be afraid of if you give up your life?

But that being said, Wang Xifeng really had something to be afraid of.

"Master, we don't care, but what about the children?"

What Wang Xifeng was afraid of was actually Xu Yezhi's biggest headache.

But nothing is perfect in the world, and Xu Yezhi can't help it.

"If it fails, then our family will be together and never be separated."

For Xu Yezhi's answer, Wang Xifeng's heart ached, but he could only accept it.

"Then, what can I do?" In times of crisis, Wang Xifeng also wanted to do her best to lighten Xu Yezhi's burden.

After stroking Wang Xifeng's soft black hair, Xu Yezhi said softly, "You just need to take care of our family."
