Chapter 575 Exile

Although the days of recuperation are painful, they are also filled with unspeakable happiness.

Xie Jin ordered no one to disturb him. Except for Chu Nanyi who would come over regularly to check on him, no one else was allowed to enter the house. Even three meals a day were delivered to the door by the maid. Xuanyuan Yao was responsible for bringing them in and feeding them to Xie Jin himself. Jin eats.

Although the little leopard was also injured, it generally did not affect his movements. However, Xie Jin was more seriously injured. As we sympathized with each other, the one with minor injuries naturally had to take more care of the one with serious injuries.

Something was different in these three days.

Although neither of them said anything, they seemed to be acquiescing to the progress of some things.

Compared with the warmth and tranquility in Jinyuan, there was already a storm outside.

The case of Prince Wei's Mansion set off a huge wave in the long-quiet imperial capital. The civil and military officials in the court were as silent as a cicada. All officials who had had contact with Prince Wei's Mansion were in danger, for fear that the regent would order a thorough investigation and implicate some unrelated people. people.

Unfortunately, the rebellion case of Prince Wei really has nothing to do with them. Who knows why Xuanyuanyan suddenly couldn't think about it and actually came up with the idea of ​​a jade seal?

Do you want to take advantage of the fact that the Prince Regent and Her Majesty the Queen are not in court, steal the jade seal, and wait for an opportunity to plan for the throne?

But when he was the grandson of the emperor, he was not able to ascend the throne. Now that the queen has ascended the throne and the regent has the power, he actually dares to think that he can sit on the throne?

There was a roar in the wind.

Since ancient times, whenever a minister's house is confiscated, it will be followed by a bloody storm, and the blood of the imperial capital will not dissipate for a long time.

The killings of emperors always make people feel frightened.

This time should be no exception.

However, fortunately, the regent did not intend to take this opportunity to implicate the old ministers and members of the Wei Palace. This undoubtedly made people feel worried, but they breathed a long sigh of relief.

The day after the house was confiscated, Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Regent issued a direct decree in the morning meeting that the Wei Palace had conspired to rebel and was exiled to the Mobei Frontier Fortress to build a city. He would not be allowed to return to the court in this life.

This verdict was beyond the ministers’ expectations!

It's not a capital crime?

Her Majesty the Queen is indeed kind.

The ministers shouted long live, and the words of praise resounded throughout the hall, and they were happy that they had such a wise and tolerant queen - of course, whether they were really happy or taking this opportunity to sing praises, probably only the ministers themselves knew.

Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao, who were staying in Jinyuan to recuperate, soon learned the news.

Naturally, it was Chu Nanyi who brought the news to Jinyuan.

"This is retribution for the idiots in King Wei's family." Xie Jin barely clapped his hands after hearing this, "Your Majesty is worthy of being your Majesty, and I won't accept it even if I don't accept it."

Chu Nanyi frowned: "You just got beaten and you learned how to flatter?"

"I am telling the truth." Xie Jin glanced at him lightly and said in a calm and calm tone, "Flattery is something only a treacherous minister would do."

Yesterday afternoon, he slept for half a day and one night. Master Jiu was in good spirits today and his eyes were intimidating.

Chu Nanyi sneered.

"The capital crime will definitely cause panic among the ministers, and will also give people the impression of ruthlessness." Xuanyuan Yao stood aside with a tea cup, "Besides, the emperor's grandfather is still here, so the Lord can be regarded as giving the emperor a chance." To save face, being exiled for three thousand miles not only gave King Wei's family the punishment they deserved, but also left others speechless."

Exile is not necessarily better than death penalty. Not to mention the long distance, most people cannot endure the punishment of walking three thousand miles in shackles. Even if they can reach the border safely in the end, they will have to do hard labor for the rest of their lives and have to endure it day and night. The overseer whipped and cursed.

No one can guarantee how long they can last.

However, on the surface, His Majesty did give them a way to survive. He did not take their lives directly, and did not stain his hands with blood when he first ascended the throne. For the rebellious ministers, this is enough to reflect the benevolence and tolerance of the current emperor. mind.

Kill several birds with one stone.

How could you not say a word about Regent Shengming?

"How is Xuanyuan Chen?" Xie Jin thought about it, "Did the Lord tell me how to deal with him?"

Xuanyuan Yao said calmly: "The Lord thinks highly of him, so of course he won't do anything to him. Is Ah Jin so worried?"

Chu Nanyi's expression paused slightly.

This tone doesn't seem right.

Xie Jin naturally heard the sourness in Little Leopard's tone, and secretly rejoiced, but pretended not to know anything on his face, and slowly shook his head: "It's not that I'm afraid of what the Lord will do to him, but that he, the bastard of the Wei Palace, After all, his identity is embarrassing. If something happens to Prince Wei's family, the mansion will be sealed off. He and his biological mother, Aunt Qiao, will move out soon, but I don't know if the accommodation has been arranged. "

"Didn't Ah Jin bring Xuanyuan Chen to live in Jinyuan before?" Xuanyuan Yao said in a calm tone, "This time I will simply take him over to stay for a few days. Aunt Qiao can also ask Auntie to make arrangements and stay at Xie's house temporarily - —”

"What did Yao Yao say?" Xie Jin frowned, "Xuan Yuan Chen and I are not relatives, and it is impossible for Aunt Qiao to live in someone else's house at will. This arrangement is not appropriate at all."

Chu Nanyi silently packed the medicine box, turned around and walked out without saying a word.

"Besides, I'm injured now, so how can I have time to entertain guests?" Xie Jin sighed, "I only have three days to recover from my injuries. After three days, I have to go to the palace to wait for orders. The Lord said that I need to practice my skills. I'm afraid that I'll be accused of laziness again, and I might have to take a few more beatings."

Xuanyuan Yao looked at him without saying a word, and said calmly for a moment: "You are not a military commander, and the Lord does not have such high requirements for your martial arts."

"Yaoyao." Xie Jin's eyes were burning. "Even if you want to be jealous, don't be so obvious. Chu Nanyi was there just now. It would be bad if he saw it."

Xuanyuan Yao frowned.

"Besides, I only like Yaoyao. I don't have any thoughts about other people at all." Xie Jin said, sighing softly, very resentful, "Yaoyao has seen my body naked. Yaoyao must be responsible for me."

Xuanyuan Yao raised his eyebrows and stared fiercely at a fox who didn't know how to behave even when he was injured.

"Yaoyao, come here." Xie Jin stretched out his hand and waved at him, like calling a kitten, "Lie down with me for a while."

Xuanyuan Yao said indifferently: "You can only lie down, not lie down."

"I made a slip of the tongue." Xie Jin said, "Lie down with me for a while."

Xuanyuan Yao said: "I don't want to lie there, like a fool."

Xie Jin was immediately wronged: "Yaoyao means that I am like a fool?"

"It's not stupid to lie down alone, but it's not normal for two people to lie there together." Xuanyuan Yao said indifferently, "You should take good care of your injuries and don't think about anything messy."

Xie Jin thought to himself, this little leopard really likes to say one thing and mean another.

It was obviously him who was jealous first, but he had to be stubborn and refused to admit it, and said that he was just imagining things.

Xie Jin thought so, and his voice became softer: "You can't sit for the time being, it will be more comfortable to lie down here, you can't stand there all the time, it's so tiring."

Author has something to say:

Here is a little explanation. Xuanyuan Yao and Xie Jin are Rong Yu's favorites, so his punishment has some personal nature. Xie Jin is a fifth-rank official. According to the rules, he should not hold great power. Rong Yu gave him great power in an invisible way, not in the open. Xie Jin's mistake violated Rong Yu's rules, but according to his official title, the assassination in the imperial study was not within his scope of responsibility, and the theft of the jade seal was not his responsibility. Don't forget that he is a civil official. Rong Yu's requirements for the people he is closest to and trust are more stringent, so punishment must be given, but he also protects his children and will appropriately protect the pride of Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao. So it is right that the punishment is not made public. Well, in fact, apart from age, Rong Yu does have the intention of raising Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao as "sons".
