Chapter 482

It was twilight when Jian Xu Bai returned to the mansion.

Most of the subordinates have already heard that Empress Wei was punished for murdering concubine Cui Jianren, and her own mother was also involved the master went to the palace to plead for leniency, but only returned when the curfew was about to be enforced, and when she returned, although she was not downcast, she did not have a joyful look on her face, and this situation did not seem to be a smooth one.

So serve up with more and more fear and trembling, lest where there is a mistake, by the master to take advantage of the situation to attack.

“Coming back so late, have you had dinner?” Song Yixiao was doing needlework in the inner room, when she saw her husband cross in, she busily inserted the needle into the embroidery bandage and rose to greet him, “If it’s not used, I asked the kitchen to leave a meal.”

“I casually ate some snacks on the way, but I don’t feel hungry, so I don’t need to first.” Jian Xu Bai said with a light smile, “Why are you doing needlework? Candlelight is not like heavenly light, careful eyes.”

Song Yi smiled and pursed her lips, ”Chao Ping has a playmate, and is much better coaxed than usual. I only told them two stories today, and then I went to bed contentedly. I’m going to wait for you, and across the board I have nothing to do, so I’ll casually embroider two stitches.”

And said, “You also know that my embroidery skills are still good, and I don’t feel tired when I do so much stitching.”

Jian Xu Bai gave a “hmm” and said, “But don’t move the needle at night.”

After saying this, both husband and wife fell silent for a moment.

A few moments later, Song Yixiao fixed her mind, and in the end asked the main question, “Is His Majesty not going to pardon me?”

“His Majesty is indeed quite enraged.” Jian Xubai did not want to tell his wife the truth, after all, today is only the first day, he has not been desperate to plead for mercy, and now told his wife, but it is just one more person who is scared and fearful, and may also indirectly affect the children so only calmly said, “but the specific how to punish is not yet determined, so I just went to I went to Gu Xiang’s place and asked him to help mediate in the palace tomorrow, and he has already promised.”

Adding, “Minister Gu is highly respected, and His Majesty will give him face anyhow.”

“Even so, I’m afraid it will hurt the brotherhood between you and His Majesty!” Song Yixiao sniffs, reveals the color of melancholy, sighs, “Speaking of which you are His Majesty watched grow up, all these years, His Majesty has always taken care of you, even with me and Chaoping, also no less than His Majesty’s favor! Now for the mistakes I made, called his majesty angry at you, I … I … alas, when you married not I would be good!”

Jian Xu Bai frowned, ”Why are you saying such demoralizing words? Do you think I’m a person who is afraid of things? Besides, since you know that His Majesty thinks highly of me, how can you be sure that I won’t be able to protect you?”

Song Yixiao was silent for a while and said, “It’s not that I don’t trust you, I just think that this time around, the math is too big! I really don’t know what kind of people are behind the scenes.”

“The only person behind King Liang who has been found out so far is that dead grandfather of ours.” Jian Xu Bai also felt that his wife had been victimized this time, and sighed at his words, “Although His Majesty suspects that the Su family or Aunt and Uncle Dai Guo have interfered, however, there are currently no clues in this regard after checking down of course, these things have not happened for a few days, and perhaps in a couple of days, someone will not be able to stay up to the punishment to confess. ”

There was a pause, “Anyway, I’ll protect you.”

“Today, Cousin Xie’s wife came over to visit, including Hengshan Wang Fu’s Xia side consort also sent someone.” Song Yixiao shook her head and said, “Just the Xia side consort did not pick up Thuo’s intention to go back is just, my sister is also dead set on not picking up Xuan’s son, really can not help but call me suspicious!”

Jian Xu Bai frowned, “If you don’t tell me I’ve forgotten about the two children!”

He usually Lu Zhuo Er and Song Xuan is not bad, see will hug and tease, give Jane Qing Yue to buy what gadgets, never forget to give these two children also bring a share but the heart of course the most important is still his own daughter.

So when Song Yixiao’s plot to murder Cui Jianren was exposed, he was only concerned about his wife’s safety, and neglected to realize that the two children’s families should take them away to avoid trouble.

At this moment, after hearing the words, he pondered for a while and said, “Xia side consort should be afraid of not being able to take care of Thuo’er, so she doesn’t want to take Thuo’er back until it’s absolutely necessary? As for your clan sister’s side … is it because of grandmother’s sake?”

Song Luoyan is Shen Biansheng’s wife, Shen Biansheng and Liu Jingcheng the reason why he got involved with the Duke of Yan, is because of the old lady Duanmu’s needle.

According to Jane Li Miao from the previous explanation of Jian Xubai, Duanmu old lady in order to give the Yan State Mrs. this sibling vengeance, take the opportunity to exile outside the country, and Shen Liu two families are very close, private and even plan what can not give the royal family know things.

Since Mrs. Duanmu has such a close relationship with the Shen and Liu families, Song Luoyan, as the wife of Shen Biansheng, without the permission of the head of the Shen family, do not dare to Song Xuan one person for the sake of the reason, hastily destroy the feelings of the Duke of Yan with the family, it is not understandable.

But Song Yi laughed: ”She came back to me these two times, representing never the Shen family, but the Song clan side branch. Not to mention that Song Xuan is her nephew, and is not a child of the Shen family! Previously in Liaozhou, I met with Song Luo Shi, asked them about the situation of this branch, although the population than the first branch of a lot of prosperity, but frankly speaking is not how lush Song Luo Shi said that there are three sons and four daughters in the knee, but the heir of the first son of two, one of them is the eldest son, one of them is Xuan child! Do you think he would be willing to give up Xuan’er?”

Serious people take the distinction between the first and the concubine very seriously.

The weight of the first son, simply not unusual commoner son can be compared, especially Song Xuan although young, talent is good, according to Song Luoshi at that time, he is even Song Luoshi knee talent the best child so was elected to send Song Yixiao as a righteous son, in addition to serving as the relationship between the two sides further pivot, but also hope that it can be the icing on the cake for him. After all, with a righteous mother who was a Duchess of State, the path to a career in the future could be smoother and more spacious.

“Are you saying that the Song Clan’s side branch knows something?” Jian Xu Bai pinched the corner of his forehead and said, “Wait a moment, I’ll go bathe and change, then we’ll talk about it in detail!”

He has been worrying about the big problem of his wife s life and death since he heard the decision of the Duanhua Emperor in the Xuanming Palace today, and for other things … that is really not in the mind and moreover not in the mood to care.

Now listening to the meaning of Song Yi’s joke, it seems to be related to a heavenly conspiracy, under the austere, decided to take the opportunity to bathe and change clothes to refresh themselves, so as not to neglect what is important and miss the good opportunity to save his wife!

After he went to the bath room, Song Yixiao picked up her needle and thread again and continued to embroider a Butterfly Lovers’ Flower under the bright candlelight.

In fact, when she saw that Song Luoyan wasn’t really worried about her predicament, and even took this opportunity to instigate her resentment towards Emperor Duanhua, she had thought that since Emperor Duanhua had a very bad feeling towards her, it would be a good thing for her to see him go down?

But for only a moment, she snuffed out the thought.

The risk of changing dynasties was simply too great, not to mention the fact that Jian Xu Bai’s advantage in the Duanhua dynasty was already great, even if he embraced another new ruler, what greater benefit could he get? The title was already at the top of the courtier’s list, and the official position wasn’t low, and he was still so young just like the Hengshan royal family, what the current Duke of Yan’s family had to think about now wasn’t even about making a great achievement, but instead had to start thinking about not making a great achievement before he did so!

Besides, she didn’t actually trust Song Luoyan with Song Luoshi and the others.

Or perhaps Song Yixiao’s trust in the siblings hadn’t yet reached the point where she was willing to follow them headlong into rebellionafter all, Song Luoyan’s siblings hadn’t explicitly shown their cards to her up to this point.

It was evident that not only was Song Yixiao guarding against them, but they didn’t fully trust Song Yixiao either.

“When I was in Liaozhou, Song Luo Shi had said to me that the reason why he personally rushed to Liaozhou to meet me under the name of disposing of the trouble in his name business was mainly because he found an opportunity and wanted to invite me to participate in it.” Song Yixiao recalled the previous events, could not help but purse his lips, “At that time he said that the big event, now it seems … also do not know whether it is true or false?”

At that time, Song Luoshi told her that he happened to get a top secret information, that is, Emperor Duanhua in Han Ji poisoning that thing, the imperial body folded to a greater extent than what was announced to the outside world so this emperor looked good, in fact, like Emperor Xianjia can not live a long life!

In that case, the Prince’s thigh was well worth hugging.

“We are too far apart from the Empress and the Crown Prince, we can’t speak at all.” Song Luoshi said this, “But the clan sister has long been close to the Empress, so we can’t do anything without the clan sister to get closer to His Highness the Crown Prince in advance!”

Song Yixiao for these words actually a little halfbelieve halfdoubt, because such a big news, Jian Xubai this with the two emperors are very close to the Duke of Yan have not heard, has been hibernating in the Western Rang Song Luo Shi, how do you know?

Song Luoshi explained to her the source of the news, is, “Song Wei two families have been intermarried for generations, Xiyong time, because of the Wei’s children, this agreement is canceled. However, the relationship between the two families is closer than the remaining four of the six valves in the sea. So the Wei family knows some news, the Song family will also know of course, specifically how to know, it is not enough for outsiders to know.”

This is a nice thing to say, and even pulled the ancestor as a front, but in reality, it is implied that he has someone inside Fengzhou Wei.

Song Yixiao didn’t really believe in this statement either, she wasn’t too clear about the Wang Clan’s set because of her life, but she also felt that the secrets of the Fengzhou Wei weren’t that good to pry into. Song Luoshi was only a side branch of the Song Clan, and might not have this ability.

However, taking into account the ancestry of Song Luoshi’s family, and Xiliang Shen’s close relationship, if it is Shen’s doing, it is not impossible: earlier Xie Yiren once told Song Yixiao, the chaotic times before the founding of the State of Great Rui, the Northwest’s lost territories, basically all the Xiliang Shen and the East Hu Liu recaptured, but these two clans don’t know why, instead of participating in the fight for the world, instead of driving out the hu captives, they chose to disarm to return to their fields, and for three generations! guarding the tomb!

Normally, these two clans are mostly not voluntary.

So it’s not impossible to leave something behind from then on, in case your children or grandchildren rise up?

Of course, Song Yixiao willing to accept Song Luoshi’s words, mainly because, Song Luoshi just hope that she can provide some opportunities to hold Queen Wei and the Prince’s thighs this is for Song Yixiao, but it is just a matter of hands, after all, her own relationship with Queen Wei is really good.

Since the request wasn’t something tight or difficult, Song Yixiao didn’t bother to pursue the breaks in Song Luoshi’s remark.

In retrospect, Song Yixiao can not help but suspect that the Song clan side branch in fact early to play is the idea of changing the dynasty!

There was even Shen’s, and even Liu’s, involvement behind the scenes!

Only, up to now, she wasn’t sure, who was the new ruler they were supporting, who was it?

But she disliked this feeling of being counted and used, not to mention the fact that her mother’s family members, who were still in the process of testing and utilizing each other, and her husband, who was running around in order to defend himself, were fools who knew who to choose!

Song YiXiao was doing needlework while absentmindedly thinking about things, when she suddenly heard a kicking sound under the corridor, followed by the door of the room being pushed open, and the wellbathed Jian Xubai returned.
