1111, calm
This time it was Xu Shu's turn to be speechless, "I..."
"No matter what, you are my Xiaojiu. If you have anything, let's face it together. Don't say these angry words. Have a good rest. When you wake up tomorrow morning, everything will be over!" Mrs. Zheng Si forced Xu Shu to lie down.
"I want to go to the palace to see the Queen tomorrow..."
"Okay!" Although she didn't know why Xu Shu wanted to see the queen, Mrs. Zheng Si agreed. No matter why Xu Shu wanted to see the queen, letting her do something can distract her attention and prevent her from being immersed in the guilt of Xu Hui's death.
"I want to eat shrimp wonton tomorrow..."
"Okay, I'll let the kitchen make it for you! Go to bed quickly! Everything will be fine when you wake up!"
Mrs. Zheng comforted Xu Shu to sleep and sighed in her heart. Even though Xu Shu said those words just now, she knew that what Xu Shu said was true. Xu Shu was really the prince's person and had been secretly serving the prince. Although it was a bit indignant when she said it, it was a good thing for the Zheng family, just Xu Shu's thoughts...
She can't see through this child!
When he went out, he saw Yuzhu Luhe and others waiting at the door. He looked worried. Everyone could see that something was wrong with Xu Shu today. Mrs. Zheng Si whispered, "Miss Jiu can't leave anyone around me these days. There must be someone to follow me wherever I go. At night, Miss Jiu is not used to leaving people for the night. You will take turns to guard under the window. You must notify me as soon as possible if there is any movement!"
"Yes..." The maids responded worriedly. When Xu Shu came back today, she was completely muddy and didn't get angry at all. Such Xu Shu was something they had never seen before.
"Thank you for your hard work!" When Mrs. Zheng Si told her to leave, she suddenly remembered something again, "If anyone or news related to the Xu family is stopped by me these days, don't go to Miss Jiu!"
"Yes!" The maids nodded in confusion. When Mrs. Zheng Si left, Yuzhu looked at the dark main room worriedly, "What's wrong with Miss Jiu today?"
Lu He shook her head without knowing anything. She only knew that Xu Shu had gone to the Li family and was like losing three souls and seven spirits when she got home.
Yuanyuan suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Master Xu is gone..."
Lu He was shocked, “Really?”
Yuanyuan nodded, "I heard Mr. Zhuang talk to his wife. Mr. Xu was killed in order to save the lady..."
No wonder Xu Shu looked like this. It turned out that she had just experienced such a big change and felt so uncomfortable! Although the Xu family was ruthless to Xu Shu, Xu Hui was Xu Shu's biological father after all. She had called him "father" for more than ten years and died for Xu Shu...
The maids looked at me, I looked at you, and I was speechless for a long time. Finally, Lu He said, "I will be there in the middle of the night, you all go back and rest first!"
Yuzhu nodded, "I'll change you in the second half of the night, and you four will take turns tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"
"Okay..." Everyone discussed and dispersed.
The next morning, Lu He was hesitating whether to ask Xu Shu to get up. Xu Shu had already pushed the door open, dressed neatly, and looked plain. Everything looked as usual, but everything seemed different from before. Lu He didn't say much and hurriedly served Xu Shu to dress up.
After breakfast, Xu Shu entered the palace and did not come back until sunset. Her expression was still faint, and she could not see any abnormalities. She also spoke to everyone and answered in a slight manner without any sadness, as if nothing had happened yesterday.
The more dull Xu Shu was, the more uneasy Mrs. Zheng felt, worried that Xu Shu would be so depressed, but she didn't dare to mention words of comfort, for fear that Xu Shu would touch Xu Shu's sadness, and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
In the next few days, Xu Shu still followed her usual routine, eating, drinking, and doing whatever she should do. She didn't see any strangeness, and didn't mention anything about Xu Hui or the Xu family, which was too calm.
Xu Shu was calm, but the capital was not calm, and there were many news from all walks of life.
First, Xiangpin's younger brother, Mr. Li Liu, had a dispute with his cousin, Mr. Xu Qi, and beat his cousin seriously injured. His uncle, Mr. Xu, came to his house to explain his son. Mr. Xiangpin's younger brother, Mr. Li Liu, committed a crime and actually killed his uncle, Mr. Xu. Mr. Li Liu, was a white man and killed the sixth-rank court official. This was a serious crime.
Seeing that his descendants had caused a murder disaster, the Li family was afraid of being questioned, so they conspired to use tricks to shirk the charge of murder, and then beat Mr. Li Liu all over his body, trying to create the illusion that Mr. Xu was provocative and beaten. Mr. Li Liu was forced to fight back and mistakenly killed Mr. Xu.
However, Lord Lu, the Yin Yin of Jingzhao, saw through the Li family's tricks, and the evidence was all there, and the evidence was confirmed. Mr. Li Liu also confessed to the murder. Lord Lu was sentenced to death on the spot and reported to the Ministry of Justice.
As for the Li family's attempt to distort right and wrong, clear the charges of Mr. Li Liu and disturb the government's report, Lord Lu also reported it together, determined to hold him accountable.
Everyone in the capital also knew about the viciousness of the Li family and could act ruthlessly against their own flesh and blood. It reminded people of the death of Princess Longan, and the suspicion was also the Li family.
Seeing this, the Li family was completely panicked. They originally planned to do something for Li Tai, but now they are too busy to take care of themselves, so they can't even take care of Li Tai's charge of murder.
After hearing about his younger brother, Xiangpin took advantage of his illness to serve the emperor and cried and begged for mercy, saying that he only had a younger brother like Li Tai. Before Li Tai got married, if Li Tai died, their family would be defeated and begged the emperor to issue an order to forgive Li Tai.
The emperor's body is no longer as good as before. He could barely handle some government affairs under the care of the queen, but now he can't even say a complete sentence. In addition, when Xiangpin talked about the second wife of the Li family, the emperor couldn't help but feel sad. When he remembered that he was also absent from the queen, he couldn't help but feel sad. However, he was also restrained by his body and had no way to express his grief. Therefore, Xiangpin cried for a while, but only made the emperor's face flushed with anger, and he didn't say a word. Finally, he even fainted after his eyes rolled.
So it was reported in the palace that Xiangpin said that the emperor was sick and said that the queen was dissatisfied with Xiangpin's actions of not caring about the dragon body and pleading for his own selfishness. She ordered Xiangpin to be jailed. Xiangpin relied on her having given birth to a prince for the emperor, blatantly disobeyed the queen's ban and sneaked into the emperor's bedroom, trying to steal the emperor's personal belongings to falsely pass the imperial edict, but was reported by the personal palace maid.
