With Yi Tian's help, Xiao Ma smoothly placed Liu Zuan directly on the bed, then pinched the noses of Liu Zuan and Liu Shuxuan, and poured a whole bowl of medicine into their mouths.
After a while, the two people lying quietly on the bed became hot and hot, and a throbbing from the heart made them kiss each other.
At this moment, there was no third audience in the room except them. After Zhang Yuhang finished all the arrangements, he left Yi Tian to stay in the small courtyard to control the situation, and he quickly rushed back to Fengming Tower with Bai Zhan.
In Fengming Tower, Xie Yongling was facing a person he had never expected.
"Brother Xu, I didn't expect that you would be the first to come to my door."
Xie Yongling was also extremely surprised when he saw the person in front of him.
Xu Wei, the eldest son of Cheng Guogong, one of the Great Zhou Dynasty Dukes, did not expect that he would lead Zhang Yuhang out less than two hours after he captured him.
No wonder his father said that it was okay to deal with the Xingyong Hou Mansion, but not to use extreme means, let alone to death. It turned out that the Xingyong Hou Mansion, which seemed to have declined, actually had such a backer behind it.
It's just that a prince's mansion has the Duke's back. Is it because Duke Cheng is in trouble or because he feels that His Majesty can no longer lift the sword?
Xu Wei smiled lightly and said: "To be honest, if it hadn't been for my father's words, I wouldn't have known that our Chengguo Palace had any relationship with Marquis Xingyong."
Then he changed the topic and continued: "Since I'm here, I believe Brother Xie won't make it difficult for me to go back and explain to my father."
Xie Yongling also smiled and said: "In that case, I won't give other people's face, but I still have to give your brother Xu's face. I will let people release Zhang Yuhang and the two, and you can just take them back."
"Then thank you more, brother. I'll be your host another day. Brother Xie, I'll be sure to show you my honor and get together with you."
Xu Wei bowed his hand to Xie Yongling. Even though he was the son of the Duke, Xie Yongling was the eldest son of a marquis, and the Marquis of Zhan Ning was an extremely powerful marquis with military power, and his status should not be underestimated.
The two went downstairs to the room where Zhang Yuhang was locked up. Although it was late at night, the lights in Fengming Tower were still bright. Many people were extremely surprised to see the two princes actually getting together.
Arriving in front of Zhang Yuhang and Zhang Yuhang, Xu Wei nodded when he saw that the two of them were fine, but he did not say anything to Zhang Yuhang. Instead, he turned to Xie Yongling and continued: "Brother Xie, the elder of the Liu family, Why haven’t you seen anyone?”
Xie Yongling glanced at Zhang Yuhang, then pretended to be surprised and said: "Elder Liu, hasn't he been picked up by someone from the house?"
"Oh, Brother Xie, please don't lie to me. Without your permission, can the elder of the clan leave on his own?"
While he was talking, he looked at Zhang Yuhang and others. His meaning was very clear. You haven't let these two people go. How about you let him go?
Obviously, he didn't believe Xie Yongling's words and thought he was deceiving himself.
Xie Yongling pretended to be extremely wronged and said aggrievedly: "Brother Xie, how could I lie to you? About two hours ago, a person named Liu Shuxuan said that she was from the Xingyong Hou Mansion and came to take him back. I saw that the old man had almost finished drinking, and this Liu Shuxuan is from the Hou Mansion, so I asked him to take the people away, why, didn't he go back?"
After saying that, Xie Yongling himself seemed surprised and asked.
Faced with Xie Yongling's answer, Xu Wei hesitated again and again, but still chose to believe him. After all, he had given an answer, and he had given an explanation by taking these two people back.
But before leaving, he still said to Xie Yongling: "In that case, I will take these two back. As for the elder of the Liu clan, if he is not around when we go back, I hope Brother Xie will give me an explanation."
"No problem." Xie Yongling agreed happily, and then said inquiringly: "How about I send someone to go with you to the Xingyong Marquis Mansion? After all, I just had some misunderstandings with Brother Zhang tonight, it doesn't matter. I also sent someone to say hello to the old lady in the Hou Mansion. They are all working for the imperial court, and we cannot have internal strife."
After speaking, he said directly to Xie Ming: "Xie Ming, when you go to the Xingyong Marquis Mansion with Brother Xu, you must express your apology to the old lady in person, and you must not lose your etiquette."
Then he said to Xu Wei: "Brother Xu, what do you think of this? If the clan elder is really not there when we go back, I will definitely send someone to find him. After all, I had a good chat with this clan elder tonight. In addition, the person was picked up from my hands, so there is no reason why I should not be responsible to the end."
"Okay, since Brother Xie is so sincere, let me give Brother Xie a piece of advice. I heard from my father that the Xingyong Hou Mansion seems to involve a lot of forces behind it. Sometimes you should not go too far. "
Faced with the attitude of a prince like Xie Yongling, he couldn't refuse at all. As long as he didn't want to offend the prince to death because of the Xingyong Hou Mansion, he couldn't refuse.
Taking Zhang Yuhang and the others with him, Xu Wei left Fengming Tower immediately.
Looking at the people leaving, and thinking of Zhang Yuhang's arrangements for him, Xie Yongling had an indescribable feeling in his heart at the moment. It seemed that he could no longer stay out of the matter.
The Marquis Mansion is a place to nourish your heart.
When Zhang Yuhang and others returned here, it was already late at night.
But tonight, the Hou Mansion did not look like it was resting at all. From the old lady to the servants, they stayed up all night.
In the evening, when she heard that Zhang Yuhang took the clan elders outside and was invited by Prince Xie, she felt a little happy in her heart. This would not only stabilize the hearts of the clan elders, but also bring her closer to the Crown Prince Xie. , she couldn't ask for it.
In her heart, Zhang Yuhang's ability to connect with Prince Xie must be the result of the third young master of the Zhang family, but no matter who was doing the effort, it didn't matter as long as the Hou Mansion was the one who ultimately benefited.
Unexpectedly, just when he was about to rest, Xiao Yong suddenly ran back to the Hou Mansion, seemingly injured.
After questioning, I found out that Zhang Yuhang and others were arrested by Xie Yongling, and that the clan elder was plotted by Xie Yongling.
How can this happen? It's just because of the feud between his own house and the prince Xie Zhan Ning's house, so it's not impossible when I think about it.
First, it is treated as a reconciliation on the surface, so that Yuhang can relax his vigilance, and then he waits for an opportunity to strike.
In almost a moment, the old lady came up with countless thoughts.
In order to ensure the safety of Zhang Yuhang and others, and to prevent such bad things from happening, the old lady made a prompt decision and went directly to find Duke Cheng Guo personally.
Back then, his son Xingyonghou died in the battle, and countless people were able to escape. Xu Jianyuan, the Duke of Chengguo, also owed the Xingyonghou Mansion a great favor.
In recent years, the Hou Mansion has been in decline. On the surface, it was suppressed by Zhan Ninghou, but it has always acted in a measured manner. It is nothing more than fear of the protective umbrella left by Xingyong Hou to use his own life to protect the Hou Mansion.
She also knows that this kind of favor cannot be used indiscriminately, so no matter how difficult it is these years, she tries to control the number of times she seeks help from others.
After all, this kind of thing will fade away once you use it.
But what happened tonight was so strange, and the recent incidents in the Hou Mansion made her have a bad feeling in her heart, so she went straight to the door.
With Duke Cheng coming forward, no matter how noisy the Prince Xie is, he must restrain himself.
"Old lady, I'm sorry, I was plotted by this Prince Xie. I really didn't know that his target was actually the elder of the clan. I really didn't expect it."
As soon as he saw the old lady, Zhang Yuhang stood up and spat at the old lady.
"What's going on? Please tell me carefully."
Seeing Zhang Yuhang's behavior, the old lady was also shocked. In addition, she only saw Zhang Yuhang and Bai Zhan, not even the shadow of the clan elder, and she was also very worried.
"Prince Xie said he would invite me and the clan elder tonight to help the clan elder. I thought he was trying to ease the relationship with us for the sake of the third brother. Who would have known that after we met, Xie Yongling would have made a fuss somewhere. Good wine, and constantly persuade the clan elders to drink.
When the clan elder was almost done drinking, he kept encouraging him in the clan elder's ears, and whispered that if he could see people of his age causing some unpleasant things in the capital, then I, Mrs. Liu, would really He has lost face in the family, and our Marquis Mansion will also be implicated when the time comes.
I saw that the clan elder actually agreed deeply with Xie Yongling's words. Things were becoming more and more out of control. I was about to take the clan elder and leave immediately. However, Xie Yongling suddenly turned against us and ordered his men to imprison us directly.
Bai Zhan and I tried our best to stop him and asked Xiao Yong to come back and report the news. As for the rest, I don’t know. "
Zhang Yuhang spoke with tears streaming down his face, and every word he spoke was filled with accusations against Xie Yongling, as if he had been greatly wronged.
