Xie Wumian took the clothes and went back to his room. The embroidery on the clothes felt a little familiar to him, and compared it with his own body, he stared at it for a long time.
He always thought that it was made by people in the family, but he didn't expect it to be made by his mother.
After knowing all the truth, Xie Wumian felt guilty, but at the same time it was inexplicably difficult to face when he thought of his mother's kindness to him.
Thank you for not quarreling with the child today, leaving him space to think for himself.
The client's daughter-in-law never treated Xie Wumian badly because of his status, but instead tried hard to persuade her husband to accept the child.
If it wasn't for her taking care of him, Xie Wumian would never be what he is today.
Xie Wumian still needs to untie the knot in his heart.
Soon it was the emperor's birthday, Xie Hui took the excuse of going to the Zhuangzi to go out of the city a few days ago, and prepared a congratulatory gift that was exactly the same as before.
At the birthday banquet, the congratulatory gifts presented by the prince and princess will be opened in public for others to see.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, and he lacked interest in watching it.
It's not that these princes and princesses don't care, it's just that there are only a few good meanings every year. After so many years, I've been tired of watching it.
Among them was the one sent by his favorite daughter, Princess Chang'an, who waved her hand to signal the **** to take it aside.
What was on my mind was the golden pill sent by Lord Kang last time. I had already taken the last pill this morning. I don't know when that expert will come next time.
After the congratulatory gifts from the princesses were displayed, the congratulatory gifts from the princes were also taken out one by one.
The emperors in front just glanced at it casually, until they saw the familiar box on the tray held by one of the guards, and stared straight at it.
The **** serving by his side has always been someone who can figure out His Majesty's thoughts, so he walked over and brought the things in front of His Majesty himself.
The emperor opened it with his own hands, and confirmed that all three boxes were exactly the same as the golden pills he had taken before. Long Yan was very happy, and ordered people to reward the old prince Kang.
Unlike other congratulatory gifts, he was reluctant to let the **** take it aside, and put the three boxes in front of him.
At the beginning, the emperor was not very willing to believe it, but after taking the golden pill for a long time, he himself felt the most clearly.
When dealing with government affairs, I don't feel tired just looking at a few memorials like I used to.
Even if he met the ministers until late at night, he felt that he was more energetic than those young ministers.
It was not unknown to the emperor before that the pills refined by the Taoist priests in the palace were of no great use.
It is true that the golden core is useless, but he is more sure that he may not live long, even if there is only one ten thousandth hope, he still wants to try it.
The elixir that Old Prince Kang sent up last time, he felt obviously after taking it. After passing the imperial physician to take the pulse, the imperial physician also said that his health has improved a lot.
For the emperor, the only congratulatory gift from Prince Kang at the birthday banquet made him most comfortable.
The birthday banquet was over, and the emperor only kept Xie Hui.
"Master Kang, what do you want now?"
Xie Hui knelt in front of the emperor, bowed slightly and said:
"The old minister implores His Majesty to thoroughly investigate what happened back then."
This sentence reminded the emperor that Xie Yuxuan was originally his favorite son-in-law, but who would have thought that he would do such a thing to embarrass the royal family at the banquet.
If it wasn't because he was still thinking about the Taoist priest's golden pill, the emperor would even want someone to drag this old prince Kang out at this time.
"Your Majesty, the son of an old minister is definitely not that kind of person. Yuxuan has never given up investigating the truth about what happened back then, and now he has some clues recently."
Hearing this, the emperor picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
When he was furious and punished like that, he didn't allow people around him to say a word.
"Go back first, Lord Kang, I will consider this matter."
"Yes."
Xie Hui never thought that the emperor would agree when he mentioned it for the first time.
After all, what happened back then was too much trouble, and if we conduct a thorough investigation now, it would be like slapping the royal family in the face again.
After leaving the palace, he left the capital on the pretext of taking his grandson back to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
Xie Wumian sat in the carriage with his grandfather, and from time to time he poked his head out of curiosity to take a look.
Since he was born, he has stayed in the palace and rarely has the chance to come out, let alone go to such a far away place.
"Grandpa, when are we coming back?"
"Probably a while."
"Oh."
Xie Hui was leisurely and not in a hurry. He repaired the tomb of the client's father, went to see the children in the clan, and gave some money to help those in the clan who were unable to study due to family reasons.
Xie Wumian has always been by his grandfather's side. After broadening his horizons, the way of thinking becomes much more mature.
When Xie Wumian mentioned this to his grandfather, they could just listen to the sound of rain hitting plantains outside the gazebo.
Xie Hui picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip before asking softly:
"Do you know what it's called?"
"What's this called?"
"If you have read a lot of books, you will know that in the books, it is said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."
"Oh."
When it came to reading, Xie Wumian felt a little languid, he couldn't write well, no matter how many times his grandfather taught him, and no matter how many copybooks he copied, he still remained the same.
The content in the book is indeed wonderful, and the most profound truth can be expressed in the shortest words, and it feels extremely appropriate after careful consideration.
Xie Hui, who returned to his hometown, lived a leisurely and comfortable life, but the emperor in Beijing was very anxious.
After repeated inquiries several times, I learned that Lord Kang had never returned to Beijing, and summoned Xie Yuxuan to inquire.
Xie Yuxuan participated in two palace examinations, the emperor looked at the official uniform he was wearing now, and felt inexplicable emotions in his heart.
At the beginning, he was able to marry his most beloved daughter to Xie Yuxuan, which was enough to show how much he valued Xie Yuxuan, so after learning of his gaffe, he was very angry.
But with what Old Prince Kang said before, and now the emperor still wants Old Prince Kang to give him a golden pill, he wondered if he was really wrong at the beginning.
Judging by Xie Yuxuan's appearance, he doesn't look like that kind of person.
His talent, the emperor knew very well from the beginning, even if his character was like that, he would not do that kind of thing in public at the flower viewing banquet, ruining his future, and even implicating the whole family.
The more I thought about it, the more I didn't know what to do. After the emperor asked Xie Yuxuan to retreat, he habitually wanted to take out a golden pill.
It was only after opening that I remembered that I had already eaten up the golden elixir.
After eating the golden pills sent by Lord Kang, he realized that the ones he had eaten before could not be compared at all.
When I was hunting in autumn a few days ago, I even felt in a trance that I had returned to my youth.
When winter came, the emperor's old illness relapsed, and when he was lying on the bed panting heavily, he raised his hand to let the **** who was serving by his side come over.
"Go to Lord Kang's house and invite him back to Beijing."
The feeling of dying made the emperor not care about the royal face at all.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Someone close to the emperor came to invite him in person. Xie Hui, who brought his grandson in his hometown, had no choice but to return to the capital with a small box. After meeting His Majesty, he handed the box to His Majesty.
The emperor forced himself to sit up, and this morning when a minister advised him to abdicate and take care of his health, he was very angry. After sending the minister to prison, he heard the news that Lord Kang had returned.
"Why is there only one?"
Last time, there were three full boxes, which aroused the emperor's appetite. Now he frowned when he saw only one box, but he still ate it with water.
Lying there, he let out a long breath, feeling much more comfortable.
"Old Prince Kang, I promised to thoroughly investigate what happened back then, can you find that Taoist priest for me?"
"Your Majesty, the old minister can't guarantee it, but he is willing to give it a try."
The emperor nodded, and ordered the people around him to investigate thoroughly the next day.
The golden elixir came out of nowhere, but it did work.
The emperor even thought about threatening him with the sons and grandchildren of the old prince Kang, but considering the character of the old prince Kang, he could only suppress that idea.
If the old prince Kang is unhappy and commits suicide, then he will never get the golden pill again.
You can't go against his will, you can only follow his ideas slowly.
After digging through the past, I found that there were indeed many doubts.
A clerk in a pharmacy in the capital said that he once saw the aunt who was serving Princess Chang'an go to buy that kind of medicine.
After taking the golden elixir, the emperor, whose spirit improved a lot, immediately had the servant named Su Xi arrested in the Ministry of Punishment, where he was severely tortured.
Even those tough ones have to confess obediently after entering the Ministry of Punishment, not to mention Suxie, a servant who is by the princess's side.
After the emperor read the explanation, Long Yan was furious, and ordered people to invite the old prince Kang and Xie Yuxuan into the palace overnight, and passed on Princess Chang'an and the prince.
If it wasn't because the facts were in front of him, the emperor couldn't believe that the prince and daughter whom he had always loved would have done so many things without telling him.
Framed her fiancé just to be with her lover, this kind of thing would happen in the royal family.
As a princess of a country, Chang'an is not even as good as girls from ordinary people's homes, and the prostitutes in brothels are not even as vicious and slutty as her.
And his son, as the crown prince of a country, actually helped the tyrant to abuse him, and helped Chang'an to cover up the truth, just to hide the truth from his father.
Xie Yuxuan entered the palace wearing a moon-white dress. Because the weather was a bit cold, a dark blue cloak was added over it.
Compared with the past, he is now a bit calmer, and his cool temperament has not diminished in the slightest.
Standing in front of him was Old Prince Kang, wearing a black cloak, with a serious face, just like the aura he had when he rushed back from the border.
At the gate of the palace, I happened to meet Princess Chang'an and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Xie Yuxuan wished she could skin and peel Princess Chang'an, but she smiled respectfully and saluted.
"I see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Chang'an."
