Xu Shiqiu had accompanied Dong Shu here today because he wanted her to support him.

This morning, he had received news from his brother-in-law about what the bearded man and the long-faced military general had said to him in his cell yesterday.

Since other people had already implicated him, he naturally had to make some preparations.

Dong Shu did not know about all this, just now when she heard that Xu Shiqiu was involved in a life and death lawsuit, a look of worry kept on hanging on her face, causing Empress Hu to feel extremely pained.

The feelings between people were all developed. Dong Shu gave his heart to the Empress Hu, and the Empress Hu naturally treated him with his heart.

Xu Shiqiu was Dong Shu's husband, and now that something had happened to him, the Empress Hu could naturally not ignore him.

As the Empress Hu was going too, they were delayed for a little while. By the time they reached the Emperor Ruikang, the Prince Duan was already there.

Seeing that the Queen had followed, not only the Prince Duan, but also the Emperor Ruikang stood up to welcome her.

"Why is Qing Xun here too?" The older he got, the more fierce the struggles his sons had. The more Emperor Ruikang missed the time when the crown prince was still alive.

Because of this relationship, he treated the Empress Hu more sincerely than the other women in the harem.

However, from the perspective of the Empress Hu, even if she could, she was willing to not have this kind of sincerity from the Emperor Ruikang, in exchange for her own son.

At this time, the Empress Hu's face did not look good. Seeing that the Prince Duan was here, he nodded at the Emperor Ruikang in a rare way, then said directly: "I heard that someone framed you all the time, so I came here to take a look."

When Empress Hu said this, she looked at his royal brother helplessly.

The Emperor's sister-in-law's words directly made the two men's confession into a 'false accusation.' Relying on the imperial brother's guilt towards his imperial sister-in-law, he might take advantage of it.

After he sighed in his heart, Prince Duan then took the initiative to tell Empress Hu about this matter.

Who knew that just as he finished speaking, the Empress Hu snorted coldly and said, "Let's not talk about whether or not this matter was handled with Autumn's participation. If these two people were not in the wrong, even if other people wanted to scheme against them, they would not be able to!"

Everyone knew what the Empress Hu said was right, the Prince Duan looked at his royal brother, seeing that he did not say a word, he could only continue: "What royal sister-in-law said is reasonable, but this matter is related to a lot, and today the people outside the palace are discussing it, if we do not settle it well, it will affect my royal brother's reputation."

Seeing that the Prince Duan had said all this, the Emperor Ruikang did not say anything else. "That's right, catalpa. "Besides, I will only summon the time to ask today. You can rest assured." After saying that, the Emperor Ruikang saw that the Empress Hu's expression had improved a bit. He then continued, "Coincidentally, Zipao Tong is also here. By the way, listen to me. I will handle this matter impartially."

Empress Hu understood that she could support Xu Shiqiu in today's matter, but it would be difficult for him to do so even more.

Thus, after hearing Emperor Ruikang's words, Empress Hu nodded her head in satisfaction. She then looked at Xu Shiqiu who was on the ground and said, "Your Majesty and Prince Duan, you can say whatever you want to ask later. Rest assured, with me here, no one will dare frame you. "

Hearing Empress Hu mention the word "framing", Emperor Ruikang and Prince Duan did not know what to say.

Xu Shiqiu also understood that the reason the Empress Hu had done so much for him today was already for the sake of her own Young Girl.

Thinking about this, Xu Shiqiu also respectfully bowed towards the Emperor Ruikang s and Empress Hu s, and then bowed towards the Prince Duan s.

Seeing that Xu Shiqiu was not arrogant enough to look down on others just because of Empress Hu, Prince Duan also nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he told Xu Shiqiu about the bearded man and the long-faced general who revealed his identity yesterday in the prison.

"When the two of them were captured in the flowerbed, they had always been separated, and there was never any chance for them to collude with each other. But they both mentioned you yesterday. Therefore, This King wants to ask you if you have anything to say on this matter. " After saying that, Prince Duan shot a glance at Empress Hu from the corner of his eyes. He thought for a while, then explained, "Originally, this duke wanted to ask you about it at your house, but I found out that you entered the palace this morning. That's why I summoned you here to ask royal brother."

Seeing that the Prince Duan had taken everything into his own hands, Emperor Ruikang nodded in satisfaction, and revealed a smile that he thought was friendly towards Xu Shiqiu.

Although Xu Shiqiu had known about this matter in advance, when he heard Prince Duan's words, he still revealed a shocked expression. However, in an instant, the expression of shock on his face changed to one of helplessness and understanding.

Seeing that Xu Shiqiu's expression changed so quickly in such a short time, Prince Duan and the higher ups also did not understand what was going on.

"This subject isn't surprised that the two of them would be willing to bite each other." Once Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth, everyone's attention was attracted, they all looked at him, and Xu Shiqiu then explained the simple matter of entering the army camp at the outskirts of the city, and getting pushed around.

"This subject originally didn't plan to speak of these matters. For His Majesty to give this subject this chance and allow this subject to unfold his ambitions was already a great favor to His Majesty." However, this subject has never expected that the two of them would still not forget to talk back to this subject even now. "

When Xu Shiqiu said this, the faces of the Emperor Ruikang and the Prince Duan became ugly.

The Emperor Ruikang felt that Xu Shiqiu going to the military camp in the outskirts of the city was his own arrangement, as well as his own arrangement to maintain the balance of the military camp in the outskirts of the city.

However, he didn't expect that the military officers in the military camp in the outskirts of the capital would actually dare to make things difficult for him.

As for the Prince Duan, there were also the generals under his command in the military camps in the outskirts of the capital.

But he never thought that these people would actually dare to join hands and make things difficult for Xu Shiqiu.

Xu Shiqiu had been paying attention to the expressions of the Emperor Ruikang and his son, seeing that they had revealed such an expression, he revealed a smile at the right time, and said: "But this subject does not allow them to bully me. These past few months, this subject has already used my own ability to let the few generals know that this subject is not just related to the noble young masters. However, other than the few generals, there were also some people in the military camp who were not fond of officials. This subject did not really bother this subject at first, but I never thought that these two people would actually try to seduce me. "

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu sighed and continued, "Your Majesty is clear, you must know this subject's personality. Furthermore, even if this subject does not like them, this subject only wants to train the soldiers well and defeat them through a competition, so it is absolutely impossible for me to do such a thing. " After thinking for a moment, Xu Shiqiu continued to laugh: "Besides, even if this subject had the heart and soul, I don't have the ability to scheme against them."

When Xu Shiqiu said this, Prince Duan immediately looked towards Emperor Ruikang.

This was also what he was puzzled about.

Actually, he was not too clear about Xu Shiqiu's personality.

However, because he was familiar with Xu Shiqiu's father, Xu Zhenbei, and based on Prince Duan's brotherly feelings for him, he definitely would not believe that his son would do such a thing.

Furthermore, Xu Shiqiu was not wrong, even if he had that thought, he did not have the ability to scheme against the two of them.

Emperor Ruikang and Prince Duan had similar thoughts. With Xu Shiqiu's good father, Emperor Ruikang was very clear about Xu Zhenbei's personality.

When he thought about the great general who had dominated the nation back then, the look in which Emperor Ruikang looked at Xu Shiqiu became much gentler than before.

"You did very well in the autumn, during the competition, I also heard from the Prince Duan that your soldiers were performing very well." The Emperor Ruikang looked at Xu Shiqiu, and after he finished speaking, he pondered for a while before continuing: "However, there is one thing that I should clarify first. We sent you to the military camp in the outskirts of the capital to train you. "It's just that I didn't think that their abilities would be inferior to yours, and would actually hold such a grudge against you."

Once Emperor Ruikang said this, Xu Shiqiu understood that this matter no longer had anything to do with him.

Previously, he did not expose the people in the military camp outside the capital who were trying to make things difficult for him, because he wanted to say it again when something like this happened.

Since he had always been patient before, it would definitely not be good for Emperor Ruikang and Prince Duan to make things difficult for him. After all, those who had once made things difficult for him had their own trusted aides.

When Empress Hu saw that Xu Shiqiu had cleared his body of 'framing' with just a few words, his mood immediately became better.

However, Empress Hu had thought that she could have talked to Dong Shu for half a day, and now that Xu Shiqiu had been called over by Emperor Ruikang, there was no time left.

Thinking that they were going back home, Empress Hu's expression became even uglier.

Emperor Ruikang also guessed why Empress Hu was unhappy, so he straightforwardly gave Xu Shiqiu a few rewards, which could also be considered as compensation for today's events.

Xu Shiqiu understood that the reason why the Emperor Ruikang was acting this way was because of the Empress Hu. Before leaving the Empress, he hurriedly looked at the Empress Hu and said, "Today, my family has matters to attend to, so I will accompany my wife back. This official is still at home tomorrow. I'll send my wife to the palace to see her. "

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Empress Hu immediately nodded her head in satisfaction.

Only, Empress Hu and Xu Shiqiu did not expect that, although they had been thinking about it well, they did not have the chance to enter the palace on the second day.

Because on the morning of the sixteenth of August, before the sky brightened, Jiang Family had come to report their loss.
