When Xie Suyu heard Xu Qingmo's shrill cry, he couldn't help but stand up: "Why, how come one or two of them are so seriously injured?"
"When we arrived, most of the men in black were already dead, but it was obvious that their purpose was to kill Miss Xu and my heir apparent!" Yu Sheng looked at Xie Suyu and said softly.
The imperial doctor who was bandaging Meng Hetong also raised his head: "Miss Xu has broken her ribs. She is probably setting her bones at the moment. It is indeed a heartbreaking pain. The prince is luckier here, and no bones are injured, but every The knife edges are also deep enough to show the bone!”
Xie Suyu frowned, as if he was deeply annoyed: "Check, check it for me. This time, even if I turn the capital upside down, you have to check it carefully!"
The enemy's secret agents were acting recklessly in the Celestial Dynasty and even killed the Celestial Dynasty officials. No matter who it was, it was impossible for them to let this matter go by simply forgetting it.
Xu Qingmo's injury was not completely bandaged until dawn, because it was a rib injury. She would spend the next three months lying in bed.
And Meng Hetong wasn't much better here either. His whole body was covered with cuts, deep and shallow, light and heavy, really everything!
Compared with Xu Qingmo, who suffered internal injuries and broken ribs, Meng Hetong's injuries were not serious. However, due to excessive blood loss, he was unconscious all the time. He also had a high fever at night. He had to struggle until noon of the next day before he felt stable. Come down.
But now, the news that the girl from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and the Yongchang Marquis Prince were seriously injured have finally spread out.
But everyone kept silent about the kidnapping of the Xu family girl, and only said that the two of them were injured because they were trying to catch someone. Suddenly, everyone in the capital was in danger.
Marquis Ningyuan had only a few heirs. He only had one son and one daughter. His good daughter was beaten like this. Marquis Ningyuan said that he could not swallow anything. At that moment, the capital was turned upside down, and everything was turned upside down. Xizuo, and even ordinary people who had interacted with Xizuo, were all arrested.
When Zhi Jinwu He Wenlin faced the arrests by the military, he not only did not stop them, but also helped arrest them. For a while, even ordinary people in the capital rarely went out, and it became a lot deserted.
All the officials in the court were very dissatisfied. They wrote to the court several times, saying that Marquis Ningyuan was acting for his own selfish interests and causing trouble for the people of the capital. They made seven or eight concessions in a row, but unexpectedly, all of them were beaten back.
The courtiers were filled with resentment, and those who were not afraid of death wanted to stage a loyal and conscientious remonstrance in front of His Majesty: "I have something to say!"
Marquis Ning Yuan didn't move, he just stood there with a cold and livid face.
Just by looking at his look, the emperor knew what he wanted to say and didn't want to talk to him. However, he was worried that he would be accused of complaining about his dictatorial status as an emperor, so he could only endure his boredom and said: "Speak!"
"It is ridiculous for Marquis Ningyuan to seize the common people without distinguishing between friend and foe. Your Majesty is sympathetic to the injury of Marquis Ningyuan's daughter, but how many daughters of his subjects are there in this world? Marquis Ningyuan has made life miserable for the people of the capital for his own selfish interests... "
"Shut up!" The emperor couldn't help but frown after half-listening, "Self-interested? Does checking and detailing such a big matter seem to be selfish in the eyes of you people?"
The courtier who spoke did not expect that the emperor would say this, and his face turned red: "Your Majesty..."
"Did you know that Xu Qingmo, the daughter of Marquis Ningyuan, and the Crown Prince of Marquis Yongchang, in order to capture these craftsmen, one had several broken ribs and the other was covered in knife wounds, and when they got into your mouth, it became their own selfish interests?" The emperor sneered, "I'm afraid On the day when the enemy troops really invade the capital, you will only cry like grandpa and grandma begging for mercy, right?"
The courtier was at a loss for words.
"I don't expect you, who are used to sitting back and enjoying peace and joy, and enjoying the glory and wealth, to understand the pain of marching and fighting. But, at least, you must understand that the peaceful and prosperous age was created by them, and you don't want to see it. The generals fought them with swords and swords for their own selfish interests!" The emperor looked at the fat and fat civil servants in front of him, who were ready to die at every turn, and let out a long sigh.
It's not that the emperor favored military generals, it's just that in the early years, the emperor himself fought bit by bit on the battlefield. He was very aware of the bitter cold on the frontier, and he also experienced the arrogance of civil servants.
When the emperor was young, he was also criticized by civil servants who said that he acted arbitrarily and harshly and did not understand the people of Li. He was so angry that he cursed the civil servants in front of the late emperor for standing and talking without pain. Finally, he was punished by the late emperor for the reason His language was too vulgar.
During the next court session, some people were still so angry that they were gnashing their teeth, and even worse, they even blocked the way of Marquis Ningyuan and Xu Yanquan: "The Marquis is so majestic today..."
"Master Zhang!" Xie Suyu, who came out later, rushed to Ningyuan Hou with a vigorous step.
Master Zhang was stunned for a moment when he saw Xie Suyu, and then saluted Xie Suyu: "Your Highness!"
"Master Zhang, what do you think of my father?" Xie Suyu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him coldly, frowning, "I heard that Master Zhang has a confidante in Ruyun Pavilion. For this confidante, Master Zhang, But the first wife of the family was driven to live in a side courtyard. The capital has been under martial law recently. I’m afraid Mr. Zhang won’t go to Ruyun Pavilion for quite some time!”
Mr. Zhang, who was originally full of righteousness, turned pale instantly: "Your Highness, you can't slander this official!"
"Slander? What a slander?" Xie Suyu sneered, "I'm afraid you have forgotten that your wife's natal family is not an ordinary family. Her niece came to look for Xianyu a few days ago and begged for help. aunt!"
Master Zhang's expression suddenly changed: "You..."
"So, Mr. Zhang's recent reaction to Ning Yuanhou's investigation and killing has been so big, could it be because he can't go to Ruyun Pavilion under the recent curfew!" Xie Suxian came slowly and said with a smile.
Ning Yuanhou looked at the prince Xie Suxian standing next to him and frowned slightly, but didn't say anything and just looked at him coldly.
"You, you...are talking nonsense..."
Master Zhang was quite embarrassed when he threw away his sleeves. Xie Suyu nodded to Ning Yuanhou and left, but Xie Suxian was unwilling to leave for a long time.
Marquis Ningyuan realized that Xie Suxian might have something to say, so he walked to a place with few people.
"I dare to ask Lord Marquis, is Miss Xu's injury better?" Xie Suxian looked at Marquis Ning Yuan in front of him and asked in a low voice.
Ning Yuanhou was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly: "His Royal Highness..."
