Although Emperor Wenxuan allowed Xiao Jue to bury Mrs. He, Mrs. He was guilty and should not be praised.

On the day when He Rufei and Xu Zhiheng executed, Mrs. He was buried in peace.

Mrs. He Er's tomb is planted with pear trees everywhere in a quiet forest on Donghuang Mountain in the capital. When spring comes, the pear blossoms are in full bloom, the wind is quiet, and the birds are roaming, and the scenery should be beautiful. Like all the noble girls in Shuojing, she follows her father at home and husband at home. She is trapped in the eaves of the four corners of the house for her whole life and cannot decide her own destiny.

Perhaps death may not be a relief for her.

The stone tablet reads: Therefore, the tomb of the Mother De Huiyun.

Mrs. He was originally surnamed Yun, but now she has passed away. He Yan has sent someone to carve this stone tablet. I think even if she gets underground, Mrs. He will not want to have any entanglements with the He family anymore.

She half-squatted down in front of Mrs. He Er's tomb, gently stroked the words on the monument, and said softly: "If there is a next life, mother must not be a woman. If she must be a woman..." She smiled, "It's better for me to be a mother, mother will be a daughter."

The mother and daughter are destined to be together in this life, and they have never even said a good word. From today on, in this world, they know that she is He Yan's, and there is no one else except Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue stood a few steps away, and Mrs. He Er's identity was sensitive. At this time, Xiao Jue buried Mrs. He Er and buried her, with the spits of countless censors.

A woman's voice rang behind her: "You..."

He Yan turned around and saw He Xinying in plain clothes.

He Xinying became much haggard. The girl who was originally beautiful and beautiful is now thin and lonely. She probably cried for a long time and her eyes were red and swollen. She saw the faces of He Yan and Xiao Jue clearly, and stood there uneasyly. After a while, she spoke: "Governor Xiao, Miss He."

"Xu..." He Yan suddenly stopped, "Miss He." Xu Zhiheng was dead, no longer the Xu family, nor the Grandma Xu.

He Xinying's eyes fell on the stone tablet in front of the tomb. For a moment, his voice choked, "But my...mother?"

He Yan nodded slightly.

He Xinying stepped forward in three or two steps, knelt down in front of the tomb with a "splash", holding the tombstone and not letting go.

That day, a strange guard took her out of prison and sent her to the mansion of Wei Xuanzhang, the director of Xianchang Pavilion. Wei Xuanzhang stayed in the school for many years, and only his wife and granddaughter were at home. Mrs. Wei was very gentle and sympathized with her experience. After He Xinying settled down in the Wei family, she gradually pieced together the whole story from the servants' mouths.

It was actually no different from what she imagined.

All the things that were difficult to understand in the past were suddenly answered. Why was the "big brother" wearing a mask always particularly cold to herself, and the "big brother" taking off the mask was particularly patient and gentle to herself? It was just because the big brother wearing a mask was actually the dead "old sister". She thought that the "big sister" who was recuperating in the village was actually the real big brother.

No wonder my elder sister blinded her eyes shortly after marrying into the Xu family. There is no such coincidence in the world, it is just human. After my elder sister passed away, my mother fell seriously ill and was depressed. It turned out that the truth was so terrible and disgusting.

What about her?

The eldest sister was dead, her mother left, the He family was gone, and the Xu family was separated. She was arranged by her biological father to marry Xu Zhiheng, which turned out to be a substitute for the eldest sister, and the marriage between the He family and the Xu family must not be separated.

Now that she is alone, where can she go? So what can she do?

He Xinying cried bitterly with the tombstone in her arms. I hope Mrs. He is still alive now and at least she has a support, but now she is really helpless.

Suddenly I remembered whether He Yan, who was alone in the Xu family, was the same. He was pushed into the abyss by his family, and had no comrades around him who could not see the ugly expressions on people's faces, nor could he guess the sinister intentions of people. He was so lonely and pitiful.

He Yan looked at her crying sadly, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked to He Xinying, bent down, and gently patted her back.

She knew the feeling of homelessness better than anyone else, and she understood He Xinying's feelings very well at this moment.

He Xinying cried for a while before turning his head. He Yan handed her a handkerchief. She took it and said, "Thank you." She looked at the tombstone again and said, "This inscription..."

It's like carved by the mother in the name of her children...

"It's me that makes me engrave." Xiao Jue said indifferently: "Your elder sister and I once engraved an inscription for her classmates."

He Xinying was stunned and whispered: "Thank you." She turned to look at the tombstone with a complicated expression, "She really... even if she is gone, she can still protect me at all times."

She and He Yan had not been much together. Even if they vaguely guessed the truth, they were shocked and angry. Now, at this time when no one could help, the warmth left by the elder sister after her death was enough to make her feel a little comforted. Whether it was Wei Xuanzhang or Xiao Huaijin, it was because of He Yan that she protected her a lot.

It would be great if He Yan was still alive. He Xinying suddenly wanted to know what kind of person He Yan was.

The only few contacts she had with He Yan were when she was wearing a mask in the past. When she returned to the mansion, He Yan got married in a hurry. She didn't have time and had no chance to get to know He Yan. He Xinying thought that even if these people were still helping after He Yan died, He Yan would definitely be a good person.

She shouldn't be as weak as herself, and could find a way forward in despair.

"What are your plans in the future?" He Yan asked her.

He Xinying came to her senses, shook her head, and said blankly: "I don't know."

She really doesn't know how to move forward in the future.

"Don't worry," He Yan whispered: "You can think about it slowly and then do it after you figure it out."

He Xinying smiled bitterly: "Can I still have a future?"

A woman who was once a criminal wife, a woman who had a treason in her family, even if she survived by chance, what could she do? She also wanted to die with her family, but she couldn't have that little courage.

"Yes." The woman in front of her looked at her and said in a gentle voice: "You are the daughter of Mrs. He Er and General Feihong's sister. You can definitely do what she can do."

He Xinying subconsciously raised her head and looked at He Yan.

This woman... she had seen her before in Yuhua Temple, but at that time she was all attracted by Xiao Huaijin beside her, so she didn't look closely. But Mrs. He Er said a few words to He Yan. Speaking of which, Wu'an Hou in front of her was also very destined to be with her elder sister. She also disguised herself as a man and entered the military camp, with the same name. Perhaps it was because of this that God wanted to use her hands to ward off the worries of her elder sister.

In He Xinying's heart, he suddenly felt kind to the woman in front of him, even though they had never met him a few times.

He Yan pulled her up from the ground, "I know you live in Mr. Wei's mansion now. If you need help in the future, you can ask someone to tell me."

"Why are you... so kind to me?" He Xinying couldn't help but ask.

He Yan smiled and said, "My fiancé, I have had a classmate with your elder sister. For reasons, I should take care of you. Besides, I only have younger brothers and no sisters in my family. In the future, you can treat me as your sister. Although I am not as powerful as General Feihong," she said, "I will take care of you for her."

Inexplicably, He Xinying felt a sense of peace of mind. It was like finally finding a small boat in the huge waves of loneliness and helplessness.

"Thank you," she said voluntarily.

"Go and burn incense to Mrs. He Er first." He Yan said with a smile.

...

After raising incense for Mrs. He Er and burning paper money, Xiao Jue and He Yan sent He Xinying back to Wei Xuanzhang's mansion. Looking at He Xinying's back as he entered the door, He Yan sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jue asked her.

"I just feel a little distressed." He Yan turned around and walked home with Xiao Jue. "I remember when I was at the He family, she was very naive and lively. He Yuanliang—" She refused to call out the word "father". "I always favor her a lot. I once secretly jealous of her, but she was finally regarded as a victim of the He family."

If He Yan grew up alone since childhood and saw the coldness and ruthlessness of the He family early, it would not be difficult to accept the day when the truth appeared. But He Xinying has lived in a lie since childhood. The little girl who was raised by a spoiled girl will one day discover the ugly truth in the world, and she will think she will be particularly collapsed.

Xiao Jue comforted her: "She will come out."

As he was walking, pedestrians passed by the roadside, and seemed to be muttering the execution in the market today. He Yan heard someone say, "When Xu Zhiheng was pushed to the punishment platform, he was so scared that he peed his pants. Hahaha, it's too funny!"

"He Rufei is even more miserable, one hundred and twenty times, and it hurts even if you think about it."

"I deserve it! Who made them do such unfaithful and unrighteous things? It's just a pity that General Feihong, a general who has only been born in the Wei Dynasty for many years, was killed by them. Your Majesty's move can be regarded as avenging General Feihong."

"This is called a reluctance and a debt, and it is not that the time has not arrived."

He Yan was stunned for a moment when he listened to the pedestrians' discussions in groups of three or three. She did not go to observe the punishment. For her, the guilty person received retribution, which is enough. Observing the punishment does not make her feel happy, and revenge is not the purpose of her life. People should learn to look forward, and only by looking forward can they have a future.

"Xiao Jue," He Yan said, "What are you going to do about Xu Xiang?"

Xiao Jue's eyes paused slightly, and after a while, he spoke: "It's almost right, it's now."

...

The case of General Feihong came quickly from revealing to finding out the truth, and then the guilty person was imprisoned. After all, He Rufei was extremely guilty, and it was understandable to deal with it like this. But Xu Xiang, who stayed for trial, made things a little embarrassed.

Xu Jingfu's disciples were everywhere in the court, and although he did not dare to say it directly, there were many people running for him these days. Most of them were based on Xu Jingfu's contribution when Emperor Wenxuan ascended the throne. He also said that based on a few letters and He Rufei's confession, he could not be convicted, and Xu Jingfu was wronged.

But soon, General Feng Yun Xiao Huaijin personally brought two people in the Golden Palace, a survivor of the Mingshui battle, a pair of brothers named Luo. The Luo brothers told Emperor Wenxuan the truth about the Mingshui battle back in front of all civil and military officials. It was originally because Xu Jingfu secretly colluded with the traitors in the Xiao family army and deliberately gave the soldiers to the Southern Barbarians. The reason why Xiao Zhongwu was defeated in Mingshui battle was not because of improper command, but because Xu Jingfu's men fired a cold arrow behind his back and the entire army was wiped out.

As soon as these words came out, the court was shocked, and Emperor Wenxuan was furious in front of the ministers.

Everyone knows that Xiao Zhongwu was defeated in the battle of Mingshui back then, and the Xiao family almost couldn't recover. If it weren't for Xiao Huaijin's determination to go all the way to the Southern Barbarians, the Great Wei would never be as good as the "General Feng Yun" now.

After the Mingshui War, civil officials publicly and secretly accused Xiao Zhongwu of being stubborn and self-righteous and brave, and the one who blamed him the most was Xu Jingfu. Emperor Wenxuan also let the Xiao family sit on the bench for a long time. Now the truth is revealed. Xu Jingfu is really manipulating behind his back, which makes the old subordinates who followed Xiao Zhongwu in the past feel disappointed, and it also makes people feel that Emperor Wenxuan is really loyal and treacherous and ridiculous.

Emperor Wenxuan was furious and ordered Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the entire Xu family and retrieve the old case of Mingshui Battle. He would never give up until the trial was clear.

In this way, everyone in the original Xu Party was in danger and the building was about to collapse. Who could care about Xu Xiang's fault and wanted to cut off all his past involvement with Xu Jingfu. At the same time, everyone was even more afraid of the legendary Jade-faced Governor. They were dormant for so many years and never gave up investigating this matter. Who knew if there was any other evidence in Xiao Huaijin's hands?

It is not easy to uproot an old tree that has been growing for many years, but judging by Xiao Huaijin's momentum, it is obvious that he is settled in the future and he does not intend to spare anyone.

At the prince's mansion, Guangyan walked around the hall restlessly.

The servants all knelt on the side and did not dare to respond. These days, the prince's temper became worse and worse. A few days ago, he even beat the prince's concubine. Everyone knows that he was angry because of whom. The prince and Xu had been friends with Xu for many years, and Xu Xiang had always supported the prince. Xu Xiang fell, which was tantamount to him. It would be fine. But the old man was cunning. After so many years, there was no evidence in his hand. If he was to pull him into the water... the prince clenched his fists and his expression became more and more gloomy, Guangshuo would never miss this opportunity!

When he was on the Star Platform, Guangshuo fueled the He Rufei's case. Now the He family and the Xu family have collapsed. If the next one is the Xu family, wouldn't it be himself?

Okay, they were one or two, I was probably sure that they would have been accurate today. If they were allowed to succeed at this time, wouldn’t it be a waste? But now Emperor Wenxuan is angry, and he cannot speak for Xu Jingfu at this critical moment. Besides, the evidence in the Mingshui case is conclusive. Now that Xiao Huaijin is proud of his youth, he can only avoid his edge and dare not fight head-on.

Just as he was thinking, a maid came in outside, walked up to him, and whispered: "Your Highness is troubled by Xu Xiang?"

At this moment, the only one who dared to come over to talk to him was the favored maid Ying Xiang.

Guangyan glanced at Ying Xiang, but today he didn't have the intention to flirt with the beauty, and just said, "Not bad."

"I want to say, isn't this a good thing?" Ying Xiang sat down on the soft collapse and gently pressed his shoulders. "Your Highness doesn't think Xu Xiang's hand stretches too long. Now that something happened to Xu Xiang, your Highness should have less worries in the future."

"What do you know?" Guangyan said impatiently: "Xu Jingfu is my own person! If something happens to him, I will feel like I will cut off my own arm. All the plans of the past few years will fail!"

"Is Your Highness worried that there will be no replacement after Xu Xiang is gone?" Ying Xiang smiled and said, "Don't Xu Xiang have a son-in-law? The Fourth Master Chu has followed so many people. If he can protect himself this time... he will not be able to replace Xu Xiang."

Chu Zilan? Guangyan was slightly stunned.

He intended to win over Chu Zilan, but these days things happened one after another, and he also left Chu Zilan behind. Now, after Ying Xiang reminded him, he suddenly thought of what Maninbu said in his mansion.

"With the same means and connections, young eagles are easier to train than adult venomous snakes, aren't they?"

Chu Zilan was taught step by step by step by step by Xu Jingfu. Compared to Xu Jingfu's viciousness, he seemed to be more gentle and harmless, but there were many things he did for Xu Jingfu over the years. No one would underestimate him, otherwise he would be incompetent, so how could Xu Jingfu marry the pearl in his hand to Chu Zilan?

However... his eyes moved to the beautiful face of the maid in front of him, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Ying Xiang's wrist, pulled her into her arms, and asked, "Chu Zilan is Xu Jingfu's student. When Xu Jingfu fell, Chu Zilan couldn't escape. How do you know... he would escape the disaster?"

"I just talk casually," Ying Xiang did not struggle, but still maintained a decent smile on her face, snuggled in his arms, and said softly: "After all, I am the master of the past."

Guangyan stared at her for a while, sneered, pinched Yingxiang's chin, and forced her to look directly at herself, "I hate betrayal the most. Yingxiang, in the whole mansion, you are the most beloved maid in my palace. I hope you know in your heart what to do and what not to do. If I find that you have an affair with someone behind my back... you have to know," his smile looked a bit ferocious, "There are not many women who die in the prince's mansion."

Ying Xiang smiled and said, "Your Highness is scaring me again. I am born and my servant is your nobleman, and I am dead and my nobleman's ghost. How can I have an affair with others? But Your Highness, don't forget the old one if you have a new person."

The beauty looks bright and charming, and her eyes are all obedient, which is undoubtedly a bit obedient.

"As long as you are obedient," Guangyan touched her face with satisfaction, "I will always be fond of you."
