Bingwen was very ashamed by Xia Chu's words. Thinking about it carefully, it didn't make any difference to him whether Xia Chu was a boy or a girl.
Xia Chu was always the noble man who rescued him from the Du Mansion, the benefactor who helped him resolve the long-standing unjust case, and the friend with whom he drank and talked freely.
As soon as he thought of this, his nervousness disappeared, he smiled with relief, looked at Xia Chu and said: "The people who took away the Miao Family Incense Shop back then were indeed the imperial guards in the palace."
Xia Chu leaned his back against a red painted pillar and tapped the guardrail with his index finger, waiting for Bingwen's next words.
If it was just like this, it wouldn't be worth Xianli and Bingwen Baba's special words to dig something out of Miao Heng's mouth.
"The person who ordered the arrest of Xiangpu is not the emperor, guess who it is?" Bingwen returned to his usual calmness, with a hint of joking on his face.
Xia Chu's tapping hand paused for a moment. Eighteen years ago, although Concubine Li entered the palace and was favored by the emperor, she was not so favored and did not have the ability to drive the imperial army to do things for her.
What's more, Yue Xinli hanged herself in the palace, and the imperial army dared to detain him in the palace after arresting him. Who else could he be but the emperor
Xia Chu's eyes suddenly lit up, and with the word "death", she suddenly raised her head and looked at Bingwen: "Queen Mother?"
Bingwen showed admiration on his face, nodded and continued: "Miao Heng was also a good craftsman of the Miao family in making incense. After Li Fei secretly rescued him, she accidentally revealed that she spent a lot of money He saved him from the hands of the Queen Mother with his own efforts, but he knew that repaying kindness is the way to go. Therefore, Miao Heng has been making incense for her all these years and has never stopped."
Xia Chu's eyebrows furrowed again. Why did the Queen Mother want to arrest the people from the Miao Family Incense Shop? Why did the Emperor hide it for her? Why did Concubine Li come to rescue her? What else is hidden in this
Originally, it was just a simple thought that the emperor saw Yue Xinli at a glance, and was seduced by her beauty. He asked for it but did not get it. He was so angry that he forced Yue Xinli to death and wiped out the entire Miao family.
But judging from the two pieces of information Miao Heng revealed, it seemed that things were far from what he originally thought.
It seems that what exactly happened that year can only be known by asking the emperor himself...
Bingwen's narrative later is nothing more than Concubine Li's arrangement for Miao Heng to enter Prince Hui's Mansion.
Xia Chu already knew about these things, and his mind was inevitably still focused on why the Queen Mother arrested people.
At this moment, the sound of arguing came from the distance, and they could vaguely be distinguished from Xu Wenlan and Su Qian'an.
Bingwen and Xia Chu had pretty much said it, and they walked over together.
As soon as Xu Wenlan saw Bingwen's figure, he immediately came up to him and said, "Look at him, he made Miss Xianli cry."
Su Qian'an looked very aggrieved, holding her hands up in confusion: "Bingwen, I really didn't bully her. Just after she took off her shirt, she kept crying when she looked at the scar on my chest."
Xian Li wiped away his tears and echoed: "It has nothing to do with Brother Su. The wind was so strong just now that I lost my eyesight..."
Xu Wenlan clicked his tongue twice: "How big is the sand to make your eyes look like this?"
Xiao Mubai, who was following him, said to him: "I think you have a big idea. Can you lobby Mr. Xu yourself?"
"No, you just promised me." Xu Wenlan grabbed his back as he walked to Xia Chu's side, then looked at Bingwen and said, "I'm not worried that Xian Li will be wronged."
However, Bingwen had no intention of looking at him now. He looked at Xian Li for a moment and saw her nodding slightly, agreeing that the scars on Su Qian'an's body matched.
Bingwen looked at Su Qian'an now. Apart from the affection he had in the past, he looked more like his brother-in-law. How could he blame Su Qian'an? He had already stepped forward, comforted Su Qian'an who still had his hands raised and said: "I know, I know, it's good that you are so upright and don't get bullied by others. How can you bully others?"
Seeing that even Bingwen had gone to protect Su Qianan, Xu Wenlan cried out: "With all my good intentions, you are complaining about bullying me alone?"
Xia Chu curved her lips and joked: "That's not true. You are going to the Western Regions anyway, so you can have some cool tea when you leave..."
After hearing what he said, Xu Wenlan felt relieved. Since Lan Yuying and he were best friends, Xia Chu would not just sit back and watch his affairs.
At that moment, he let go of the hand that was still holding Xiao Mu's white robe, and in response to Xia Chu's words just now, he put on a look of sadness and said, "The world is hot and cold, hot and cold..."
Bingwen turned his head and glanced at Xu Wenlan, who was putting on a show, with a narrow smile on his face: "On the day of Mr. Xu's wedding, I will send eight people to carry the sedan, with ten miles of red makeup, to take you out of the capital, okay?"
"Bah!" Xu Wenlan was furious in an instant. He swept away his sadness and rushed over to fight with Bingwen.
Two people who don't know martial arts are chasing each other. This fight is simple and unpretentious.
Amid the laughter, Su Qian'an's eyes dimmed and her expression became downcast.
Xian Li was always paying attention to him, and naturally noticed something strange, and asked from the side: "Brother Su, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai also walked over, and Su Qian'an said in a low voice: "I thought about General Zhao often saying that when the battle is over, he will rush back to Beijing to carry a big sedan chair, and marry Miss Huo in red makeup. …”
These words made Bingwen and Xu Wenlan, who were chasing each other, stop, and the atmosphere instantly became depressed.
Now, the battle is over, but Zhao Xingwen...
Xu Wenlan put his arm around Bingwen's shoulders. This incident had a great impact on Bingwen. He had been staying in Beijing, coming to Mingxiang Garden every day, seeing Bingwen getting drunk every night, and being dragged to drink by him every day. Naturally, he knew How uncomfortable he felt.
Things that Xia Chu had never dared to mention and didn't want to think about were suddenly revealed. She felt a black cloud coming up in front of her eyes. Xiao Mubai helped her feet in time.
He has always kept this matter in his heart, just like a box of sewage that was forced to be placed in a stable place without being touched or disturbed. It gradually returned to clarity over time.
But with a slight movement, the clear water instantly turned into mud, and easily became turbid.
"How is Miss Huo doing now?" Xia Chu opened her mouth in a very depressed tone.
He had received a letter from Bingwen and heard that Huo Wenshu insisted on burying Zhao Xingwen as the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family.
Huo Tianxiu couldn't stop him, and Gu Shirou couldn't persuade him.
Although the marriage contract given by the emperor was revoked by Xiao Zimu, she still ignored it. On the day of Zhao Xingwen's burial, she wore mourning clothes and insisted on her identity as a widow to bury him.
Nowadays, although there has never been a wedding, the news has already spread in Beijing, and no one knows about it...
