Later, I finally became a white lotus in the flourishing age [Quick time travel]

What is this called? !

The person who sent the letter also said that the old lady of the Xie family didn't do it on purpose. She was old and her eyesight was dim and she fell and just bumped into her.

But it happened to be the daughter of the Wang family, the noble concubine of Qin Zhi, who had a dragon in her belly.

Xie Yi just found it incredible, he had stayed in the harem for many years in his previous life, and he had never heard of a family member of a concubine bumping into other nobles when entering the palace.

After understanding the cause and effect, it turned out that Xie Ruzhu was the family member of the Xie family who was interviewed in the imperial garden. The daughter of the Wang family happened to be there, but she didn't know that she was pregnant, or was hit by this and had a miscarriage. Got pregnant.

Going to the Imperial Garden in winter, Xie Yi had to suspect that there was something tricky about it.

Xie Yi's grandfather and father went to the palace overnight to plead guilty, and all the Xie family's children also felt sorry for each other, they couldn't sleep at night, so they all gathered in the flower hall.

Mr. Xie was so angry that his eyes were red, and he said bitterly: "In the imperial garden...in the imperial garden! Xie Ruzhu is...she is..." His chest heaved violently, unable to say a word whole.

Xie Ruqing could barely maintain his composure, picked up the tea on the table and took a few sips, suppressing his depression: "Who knows if the child in Wang Guifei's womb is real or not? I'm afraid it's not the one who wants to take my Xie family into surgery." ?!"

Xie Er had another thought: "I'm afraid it's the Wang family."

Xie Ruqing and Eldest Young Master Xie were both taken aback when they heard his words, but Xie Ruqing immediately realized: "If he already knew that Concubine Wang Guifei is pregnant...he might not dare to have this child."

If the Wang family took the risk, relying on the fetus in Wang Guifei's womb, framed Qin Zhi, and established the youngest son as emperor to restrain him...

How dare Qin Zhi want this child? !

Besides, whether the child is his or not is another matter. He has been married for many years, and he has never seen any woman around him pregnant with a child. If the Wang family is more ruthless, they will make arrangements for the daughter of the Wang family to confuse the blood of the Tian family...

Thinking about all the things here, Xie Ruqing calmed down instead.

If it was really the Wang family who managed to make Wang Guifei conceive this child, and now that she has a miscarriage, wouldn't the Xie family and the Wang family have quarrels?No, not at all, what the Xie family can figure out, the Wang family must be able to figure it out too... But, how do we pass this hurdle right now? !The noble concubine had a miscarriage, so the Xie family might have to pay for it with her life?Once this matter is not handled properly, even the foundation of the Xie family will be shaken!

Xie Yi put down the teacup in his hand, and finally said, "The person who was going to go was supposed to be me."

Several people present were surprised.

"If you go without loss..."

Xie Yi lowered his eyelashes, if he was the one who went there, what would Qin Zhi do?The child in Wang Guifei's womb cannot be kept. If they can be convicted together with Wang Xie's family, then the best crime is... dirtying the harem.

Xie Yi's eyes flashed, and he clenched and loosened his fingers several times.For a while, my mood was ups and downs, some seemed to want to laugh, and some were sad.

Bai Bai noticed something was wrong with him, and leaned over, a little worried: "The host is big?"

Xie Yi suddenly came back to his senses, pursed his lips, and said "it's okay" to Bai Bai in his heart.

"Such methods are not like him." Xie Er frowned, and suddenly said.

Xie Ruqing said: "These are all dirty tricks used by women in the harem."

They looked at each other and suddenly thought of someone: "Li Xueyin."

Both the Wang family and the Xie family married their daughters to Qin Zhi, and the Li family was naturally not far behind.Li Xueyin is the married daughter of the Li family. This Li Xueyin was also a well-known noble daughter in Jinling City back then, but her status was slightly low, and she was suppressed from the limelight. The outside world only thought that she married because of her low status. Qin Zhi, who had no hope of seizing the heir apparent.However, what if Li Xueyin had already joined Qin Zhi?What if everything that happened today was under Li Xueyin's arrangement?

"I'm afraid it's unfounded worrying? She is the daughter of the Li family..." Mr. Xie said with a smile.

Xie Ruqing's face was solemn: "Even if she is a daughter of the Li family, what has Xie Ruzhu done for the Xie family these years?! She is much smarter than Xie Ruzhu!"

"Could it be that we were all mistaken back then! With Li Xueyin's sharp eyes, did she recognize Qin Zhi as a hero?!" Mr. Xie was furious, and with a wave of his hand, he swept all the things on the table, a teacup It hit Xie Ruqing's feet and was smashed to pieces.

"What are you angry about?!" Seeing him like this, Second Young Master Xie couldn't help feeling a little resentful, "You were the one who was incompetent in Dao Qin Zhi, and you were the one who wanted to marry Xie Ruzhu, so what are you going to do at home now?"

Xie Ruqing also changed his face slightly: "What are you guys trying to do? Do you want outsiders to know that our brothers from the Xie family are against the wall?"

Mr. Xie snorted coldly, although he was not angry in his heart, he still turned his head away and stopped talking.

Xie Er also let out a breath, calmed his face, but said: "I'm afraid this matter will not end well."

"Whether Li Xueyin did it or not, in the final analysis, it's also Qin Zhi's intention." Xie Ruqing said, "It's not like he wants to touch the family in a day or two. Sooner or later, there will be such a day."

"makes sense."

The whole family anxiously waited for the news from the palace, seeing a layer of bleak white floating in the sky, but the grandfather and father who entered the palace had not returned yet.

Xie Yi was so sleepy that he could hardly keep his eyes open, and Xie Ruqing and the others also had obvious tiredness in their brows and eyes.

Chun Zhi yawned, added some charcoal to Xie Yi's daily hand stove, and handed it to him again.

Xie Yi was about to pick it up when he saw a young servant rushing in from outside in a panic, as soon as he entered the flower hall, his feet went limp and he fell to his knees.

"Old lady, old lady..."

Xie Ruqing was startled, before she had time to speak, Xie Er said, "What's wrong with the old lady?!"

"The old lady hanged herself!"

The hand stove fell to the ground, and the charcoal fire scattered all over the ground.

……

After Wang Guifei was diagnosed with miscarriage, Mrs. Xie was sent to prison. The guards in the prison did not dare to embarrass her because they were concerned that she had a royal order.But she never thought that after she was imprisoned, she left a suicide note and hanged herself to apologize.

Xie Yi followed Xie's family and hurried to the prison, when they arrived, Mrs. Xie's bones had not been restrained.

The members of Xie's family spent a lot of silver taels and went up and down, and only then did they see Mrs. Xie's body.

Her imperial uniform had been stripped off, her hair was loose, and she was wearing a gray prison uniform. She was strangled by a rope hanging from the beam and hung in mid-air.A pair of feet protruding from under the wide prison uniform, the toes were hanging lifelessly.I don't know if there was a wind blowing, but in the dark and damp cell, the corpse was still shaking slightly.

Xie Ruqing only took one look, then covered her lips and turned her head away, blinking her eyelashes, a tear trickled down her cheek.

Mr. Xie commanded two people to remove the old lady's body.

There is not even a thin coffin in the prison, so people can only be placed on straw mats, covered with a white cloth, which is extremely scribbled.Mrs. Xie lived decently for most of her life, but she died in such a miserable and embarrassing way in the end.

Xie Ruqing reached out and wiped away a tear on her cheek, her face had regained her composure: "I finally have an explanation."

But the Second Young Master Xie said in a low voice: "Grandmother is wearing the body of a sin, I'm afraid she will die, and..." His voice was already choked up, and he couldn't continue.

Xie Yi listened, but couldn't say any comforting words.He knew that he might not be able to enter the Xie family's ancestral grave if he was a sinner.

Power struggles have always been so cruel and ferocious, and someone has to make a sacrifice in this matter, Mrs. Xie, but she chose to sacrifice herself.

They didn't even dare to set up a mourning hall, but fortunately it was cold in winter, so they didn't have to worry about the corpse rotting, so they mobilized the jailers and sent a few people to Yizhuang to find some people who could restrain the old lady's appearance.

Everyone was busy and exhausted physically and mentally. Seeing that it was not an option for the whole family to stay in prison, they chose one of the Xie family's children to stay and guard the old lady's bones.

Xie Yi also followed back.

Last night, he was tossed and turned on his back, and this morning he got up and heard the bad news again. After some time in prison, Xie Yi was so sleepy when he came back. It wasn't until he took off his clothes and was about to go to bed, that he suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask the doctor to treat Yun Ting. eye thing.

But where is the time for eye surgery?

Xie Yi could only send Chun Zhi to talk to Yun Ting, asking him to wait a little longer.

What happened to Xie's family, Yun Ting also vaguely heard his servants say a few times, and he has no objection to delaying the time to heal his eyes.

Chun Zhi was also surprised by his extremely similar appearance to Wang Jingming, and wanted to ask Xie Yi when he came back, but he didn't dare to ask.

On the contrary, Xie Yi saw her hesitant to speak, he was a little puzzled, and asked her: "What's wrong?"

Chun Zhi faltered for a long time, then said: "That man, that Yun Ting, is born similar to the eldest son of the Wang family."

Xie Yi nodded: "It looks a bit like Mr. Jing Ming."

Chun Zhiben was still a little surprised, but after hearing him admit it as a matter of course, he felt more at ease.She didn't say anything, but secretly thought in her heart that the young master still couldn't let go of young master Jing Ming.

Fortunately, Xie Yi didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise he would really be depressed—why did everyone think he had such thoughts about Wang Jingming?

As soon as Mrs. Xie died, everyone in the Xie family felt relieved at the same time, thinking that the matter was over like this.Unexpectedly, the next day, another piece of news came—Madam Xie didn't hang herself, she was strangled to death, and faked the illusion of hanging herself.

When Xie Yi heard the news, he was completely dumbfounded.Xie Ruqing and the others did not go there, and no one expected that things would be discovered like this.

However, this news is not on the surface like Mrs. Xie's assault on the imperial concubine before, but some rumors that do not know where they originated, and it is unknown whether they are true or not.

In the palace, the concubine Wang Guifei, who had just experienced the pain of losing her son, almost fainted from crying, took Qin Zhi's hand, and said in a mournful voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The concubine just lost her child, and there was a rumor outside. When the rumors come, is this trying to force the ministers and concubines to die?"

Those rumors and rumors were saying that Mrs. Xie was strangled to death by Concubine Wang in order to vent her anger.

Xie Yi naturally did not believe that Concubine Wang Gui would do this, but there were rumors in the palace that she saw Concubine Wang's confidant, the eldest palace lady, leave the palace that day, and that eldest palace lady has not come back so far.

Xie Ruqing heard the news, his eyes gradually turned cold and stern: "It's Li Xueyin, it must be Li Xueyin!"

Xie Er remembered another thing: "The Li family has not expressed their attitude yet."

Perhaps, it's not that Li Xueyin knows heroes well, but that the entire Li family wants to join forces with Qin Zhi.

However, Xie Ruqing felt that the Li family would not join forces with Qin Zhi to deal with the Wang and Xie families, and said: "Your lips are cold, and something happened to the Wang and Xie families. How long will the Li family be able to prosper? It must not be so short-sighted."

"Who knows?" The more Xie Er thought about it, the more he felt that the Li family had a ulterior motive, "If the Li family really belongs to him, it will be very disadvantageous to us."

Xie Ruqing's face sank like water, and said: "It seems that we still have to go to Wang's house for this matter."

At this time Chun Zhi came, she raised her eyes without any trace and looked at the people in the flower hall, then lowered her head deeply, walked to Xie Yi's side, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Xie Yu couldn't help frowning, looked at Xie Ruqing and the others, and said apologetically: "I still have some things to do, I'm afraid I won't be able to go."

Xie Ruqing said: "No problem, I will go with my second brother for this matter."

Xie Er and Xie Ruqing ordered people to prepare invitations and went to Wang's house hand in hand.Xie Yi hurried to his small courtyard.

Only then did Chunzhi tell him that Li Kangle was here.

When Xie Yi arrived, he saw Li Kangle sitting on an open-air stone bench in the yard, the cold winter wind blowing his water-blue sleeves fluttering, making him look thinner and thinner.

Li Kangle also saw Xie Yi.

He bent the corners of his lips, a soft color blurred between his brows and eyes, and called Xie Yi in a low voice: "No loss."

Xie Yi walked forward slowly and saw the cold tea on the table, "It's cold outside, why didn't Brother Kang Le come in?"

"No loss." Without thinking too much, Li Kangle reached out and grabbed Xie Yi's hand.The cold palm touched warmth, and after being warmed, he realized that his hand was cold belatedly.

Li Kangle was afraid that Xie Yi would be cold, so he hastily let go of his hand and said, "I heard that something happened to Mrs. Xie?"

Xie Yi was silent for a moment when he heard the words: "...Yes."

"then you……"

He hadn't finished a word, but was interrupted by Xie Yi: "It's windy in the yard, Brother Kang Le, let's go into the house and talk about it."

The wind was indeed a bit strong today, as cold as a blade, rolling over his cheeks.Xie Yi was surprised that Li Kangle was able to sit for so long in this place with no wind on all sides.

Li Kangle pursed his lips and stood up, "Okay."

The two were about to go into the house, but they heard someone in the courtyard shouting: "Thank you, Mr. Seven."

Xie Yi followed the sound and looked.

The snow in the yard had been cleared long ago, and the ground was bare, except for a few plum trees in the corners with thin flower buds.

Yun Ting was standing under the plum tree, his eyebrows were delicate and soft, and his blue clothes were as clean as washing, as if he had stepped out of the warm misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the cold winter wind was hard to break.
