Thoughts will eventually echo

Yan Mi's lips were trembling.

She never thought that Yan Kun would harm Xie Fu.

She was too ashamed to stay any longer.

"I don't mean to embarrass you by saying this."

Xie Xun handed several plates of snacks on the table towards Yan Mi.

"These are some of the restaurant's most famous dim sums. I thought all girls would love them, so I ordered a few for you."

Yan Mi didn't go to get it.

She said in a low voice: "Why is the prince telling me this? I am just an ordinary girl. The Yan family is guilty. My father is unkind and unjust and harmed the daughter of the Xie family. There is no need to tell me what the prince wants to do. This

It's what the Yan family has owed for more than ten years, and it should be repaid."

She...is still a girl who knows right from wrong.

Xie Xun looked at Yan Mi with an unusual look, with a meaning that outsiders could not fathom.

"Father?"

He recited these two words and finally handed over the box on his right hand side.

"It rained a few days ago, and the calligraphy and paintings in the study became damp. I ordered my servants to take advantage of the sunny weather to move all the objects in the study out to dry them, and at the same time clean the inside and outside of the study. But I discovered something.

This thing."

He knew that Xie Xun had someone in mind, but he never knew which girl it was.

Until I found this box.

"Presumably, Madam Yan already knows that you are not the child of Qi Xi."

"Have you ever thought that you are not of Yan Kun's blood?"

Yan Mi opened her eyes in disbelief.

"To be honest, in addition to recruiting my aunt, I also investigated another matter. Po Wen who went to the Yan family back then was also recruited, and Xi Xi gave birth to a stillborn child."

It's a pity that the real Xie family didn't know about this until his death. While he was feeling emotional towards Yan Mi, he felt ashamed towards Xie Fu. No matter what choice he made between the two, it would be wrong.

As a result, he was unable to exchange a word with Yan Mi during his lifetime.

——The Yan family, come to see me off again? Every time, you hide in the crowd and pretend that I can't see you? This time the return date is uncertain, but if you dare to say that you are reluctant, then I will marry you when I come back after winning the battle.

Can’t do it?”

One wrong move and everything is lost. Everything becomes a regret.

Yan Mi lost her composure and accidentally knocked over the tea cup in front of her. The tea utensil fell to the ground, and the tea splashed everywhere, soaking her skirt. She didn't even notice.

Her eyelashes trembled, suppressing waves of discomfort. Her lips moved again and again, finally forming a sentence.

"Thank you, Crown Prince, for informing me."

Xie Xun asked: "Why don't you open it and take a look?"

For some reason, Yan Mi didn't dare to touch the box.

My hands were shaking a little, and the process of unlocking became extremely painful.

Finally there was a 'click'.

It contained a wolf hair that was broken into two pieces, a headband with white beads that had long been out of fashion, and a letter that had not been sent.

Little by little, those fragmentary memories crept into the girl's heart, which was already riddled with holes.

The wolf hair is hers, the beaded flower is hers, and the headband is also hers.

Yan Mi picked up the wolf hair and noticed that her fingertips felt rough to the touch, as if something had been carved on it. She carefully identified it and found that it was the word "Mi".

It was engraved later.

If the secret of the box had not been discovered, no one would have known about it. It turned out that Xie Xun, who was dressed in bright clothes and angry with horses, also had a habit of collecting these.

Yan Mi was very confused. Then, she took out a five hundred tael silver note from the innermost part of the box.

"I put that in."

He smiled warmly: "I think the person that Madam Yan should really repay is not me."

The candlelight in the room flickered on and off, swaying more and more violently. Yan Mi no longer thought about it, but she couldn't stop thinking about it.

The color of her eyes became lighter and lighter.

There was a 'pop' sound.

The candle flame went out completely.

It was completely dark inside the house.

Crystal tears burst down and rolled down her beautiful face.

Xie Xun.

Xie Xun.

I kept saying these two words over and over again.

She thought it was wishful thinking, but she didn't know that her thoughts would eventually echo.

In the darkness, she could only sigh softly.

————

Early the next morning, magpies were cawing non-stop and jumping around on the eaves.

Everything develops as expected.

During the early dynasty, Emperor Ghe was not in good spirits.

"When there is something to do, start the court, and when there is nothing to do, leave the court."

Eunuch Ying's high-pitched voice came.

All the courtiers were still worried about what happened yesterday. Even if they had something to do, they would not dare to mention it today.

However, Cui Yun moved.

He saluted unhurriedly.

"The case of Zhou Zhangping, the prefect of Hengzhou, is full of doubts. Without approval from Dali Temple for review, the Ministry of Punishment has already arrested the person and imprisoned him."

This happened a long time ago. He mentioned it to Emperor Geng, but Emperor Geng told him not to stretch his hand so long. He kept defending Zou Wei.

Cui Yun looked at Zou Wei.

"But I learned that Zhou Zhangping died in prison ten days ago. Can Mr. Zou give an explanation?"

Zhou Zhangping is dead?

Shu Yushi almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

He quickly stepped forward and said: "Zhou Zhangping is the father-in-law official in the eyes of the people of Hengzhou! His achievements over the years are all on display! But some officials who were full of money accused him of corruption and exploiting the people."

"Whether he is good or not, the people of Hengzhou know best! These days, people from Hengzhou come to Shengjing in batches just for Zhou Zhangping's affairs. They have no choice but to be stuck in the Punishment Department Yamen every day!

Just wait for the matter to be found out and take the person back! If the people can do this, I think he is a good official!"

"Zou Wei! How do people die!"

Zou Weisha turned pale and fell to the ground in fear.

At this moment, the father-in-law who was waiting outside came in and whispered a few words in front of Eunuch Ying. Eunuch Ying thought about something and whispered in Emperor Geng's ear.

Emperor Jie was exhausted, but he still said: "announce him to come in."

Soon, Xie Xun entered wearing casual clothes, which was in sharp contrast to the ministers wearing official uniforms beside him.

Xie Xun entered the palace and knelt down.

The auxiliary Duke took a few steps forward, came to Xie Xun's side, lifted his official uniform and knelt down.

"Although it is untimely, I have something to report."

He stood very straight: "My sister Xie Fu was killed and I beg the Emperor to make the decision."

This statement also caused thousands of waves of shock.

Yan Kun was shocked.

Yesterday's events kept him awake all night, and he was already uneasy. But one thing happened after another, making him anxious.

Xie Xun respectfully presented the thing in his hand: "This is the evidence of the crime."

"My grandfather felt guilty about my aunt's death and couldn't bear the blow. He lingered on the bedside because of this. In just one month, the Xie family held two funerals."

Although he does not wear official uniform, he is still a solid military commander and can naturally be called a minister.

Prince Gong stepped forward: "What do you mean? Are you being harmed by others?"
