Chapter 327 It's Not Your Fault

After only a few steps, two more carriages drove out from the left and right dark alleys, and when they reached the branch in front, they separated and galloped again.

The little flag ordered the following soldiers to chase after him separately, and at the same time released a sentry arrow.

The sentry arrow flew up to the sky with a "swish", and a flower bloomed under the rainy night, which would disappear in an instant, but it was enough for the nearby people to come to support.

Sure enough, the nearby Ziyiwei and the soldiers they brought were alarmed, but that group was very cunning. He was not a vegetarian either, so he quickly arranged according to the terrain, and ordered the people on the other end to block the possible path of the carriages. After some pursuit and interception, they finally stopped the three carriages when the sky was getting dark.

But the two carriages in the middle were only the handlebars of the carts, and when Zi Yiwei arrived, he was foaming at the mouth and breathless.

The same was true for the other carriage, but it was different from the first two carriages. As soon as the curtain of this carriage was lifted, the Zi Yiwei exclaimed, "Helian Commander?"

There was someone in the carriage, but they were blindfolded and gagged. Their hands and feet were locked to the carriage with special iron chains. The carriage was actually made of fine iron, and the man tilted his head, looking Already completely unconscious, it was Helian Shu, I just don't know if he just fainted, or already...

Xu Jiao didn't go out of the palace that day, and didn't bother the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, so she stayed in Cuiwei Palace, and Wang Wan specially arranged for her in the side hall.

But where can I sleep?Lying on the couch, just listening to the sound of rain, I just feel that every second is suffering.

After finally surviving till dawn, she got up with sour eyes.

Hongying had already fetched hot water to help Xu Jiao wash up. She covered her eyes with a towel soaked in water, and finally felt more comfortable.

After finishing grooming, Caiyun came here in a hurry at the order of Wang Wan, "Princess, Madam asked the maid to invite you, saying that Governor Helian had already entered the palace a quarter of an hour ago, and now he is already in the imperial study. .”

At this time, the atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room was a bit cold and solemn. Emperor Xian sat behind the dragon table, propping his forehead with one hand, rubbing the corner of his forehead from time to time, his brows were tightly frowned, with a look of deep sorrow, but he stood with his head down. He Lianshu still kept the posture of bowing his hands, which was the same as a quarter of an hour ago, not to mention the cold face, which hadn't changed at all.

Gan Neishi stood aside with his hands tied, in the silence where the sound of falling needles could be heard, he wished he could raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

Fortunately, the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, the torment finally came to an end, Gan Nei waiter hurried out, and led Zi Tong in after a while.

Commander Zi kept his eyes on the front, cupped his hands and cupped his fists to salute Emperor Xian. Emperor Xian waved his hand impatiently, and asked in a hurry, "What's the matter?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have narrowed down the scope of the search according to what Governor Helian said, and indeed found the house, but it is already empty." Commander Zi said in a calm tone.

However, Emperor Xian became angry when he heard it, and slapped the dragon case hard with one hand, staring at He Lianshu with burning tiger eyes and said, "Where's the person?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I don't know." He Lianshu still remained calm, and repeated what he had just said to Emperor Xian in a calm tone, "I was escorted into a carriage from Four Seasons Villa. He was blindfolded, but he managed to find the place by relying on a pair of ears and calculating the distance of his feet, but after that, he was cast in a dark room until he was drugged and passed out. When he woke up again, he was already on the carriage, and Zi Yiwei was in front of him."

"They threw you into the dark room and didn't ask you anything?" Emperor Xian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Never." Helian Shu replied flatly.

Emperor Xian didn't speak for a long while, his eyes were fixed on his face, and there was a faint gleam in his eyes.

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Commander Zi cupped his hands again, "The matter is now clear, I am afraid that the Beijia people took away Governor Helian early in the morning to confuse the public, and originally wanted to charge him with the crime of Governor Helian. On the top of their heads, they didn't expect that His Majesty, who is so wise and mighty, saw through their plot and sent someone to ask them for Captain Helian. Perhaps they were guilty, so they changed their plan earlier in the morning."

"They used Commander Helian as a bait to draw our attention away. I'm afraid they took advantage of the chaos and escaped."

"Zi Aiqing is right, but if I am from Beijie, why don't I just kill him? Wouldn't it be easier to accuse him of committing suicide in fear of crime? What do you think? He Lianshu?" Emperor Xian said in a bad tone, Looking at He Lianshu, the word doubt was almost engraved on his face.

"Return to Your Majesty, I don't know!" He Lianshu's expression remained unchanged.

"What about you? Zi Aiqing? I just saw that you analyzed the behavior of the Beijie people in a clear and logical way. Why don't you come and analyze with me again?" Emperor Xian turned his eyes and landed on Commander Zi.

"Return to Your Majesty... This is really unreasonable, and I can't figure out the intention of the Beijie people."

"Can't figure it out? I just heard that Zi Aiqing, you have a plausible argument, and you still think you are trying to excuse He Lianshu!" Emperor Xian snorted.

"I dare not!" Commander Zi lowered his body by another two inches.

He Lianshu followed suit.

Both of them cupped their hands and cupped their fists in a respectful gesture, not daring to make a sound.

Emperor Xian stared at them for a moment, then suddenly his expression changed, and he smiled lowly, "Just joking with the two lovers, don't worry about it. I see, these Beijia people have evil intentions, I'm afraid they just want to make our monarchs and ministers live." Of course, I won't be fooled. It's just that, this time, Aiqing Helian still acted improperly."

joke?Isn't that what you say?
"I'm guilty!" He Lianshu replied in a deep voice, his tone remained the same for thousands of years, and he couldn't tell whether he was sincere or not.

Emperor Xian didn't bother to argue with him at this time, his eyes fell on Commander Zi and said, "How did Zi Aiqing handle this matter?"

"I have ordered the gate of the city to be under martial law, and the search in the city is still going on. If the person is still in the city, it is impossible for him to escape. I am afraid that the person has already escaped from the city. I am about to ask His Majesty to send someone to Chase!"

"Chasing is of course necessary! However, what I mean is to send another team to escort Guoshu to the northern capital and report the incident to Mo Chuluo."

"Your Majesty means..." Commander Zi was shocked.

"It's obvious that they have evil intentions in doing this. They want to be famous for their teachers, but I have no reason to hold them back. Then I will use their own methods to punish their bodies." Emperor Xian's eyes were gloomy. .

"Because of love and hatred, Han Teqin killed Su Nong Yehu's beloved daughter by mistake, and was worried about being blamed. He wanted to frame my courtiers and destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries. I am heartbroken and specially dispatched The envoys please meet Chuluo Khan and present matters in person, so as to ensure the peace of the two countries and prevent war. Chuluo Khan understands the righteousness and cares about the people of the two countries, so he will definitely understand my painstaking efforts!"

"In addition to the letter of credence, it is necessary to draw up a decree, announce it to the world, and explain to my people what happened. My subjects, what I, and Wei have not done, absolutely cannot admit it!"

"Your Majesty, I would like to invite you to be an envoy to Beijie, to take the blame and make meritorious service!" He Lianshu immediately volunteered after hearing this.

"You?" Emperor Xian looked at him, but suddenly laughed, "Helian Dudu is newly married, but has been busy with official duties, and this is involved in such a troublesome matter, and he has suffered a great crime. If you send to Beijie, I am afraid that no matter how sensible Yingyue is, she will blame me in her heart. It is not that there is no one available in our court, there is absolutely no reason why Helian Aiqing is the only one to be tired."

"I know that Aiqing cares about the country, and I will send a suitable person to take over this matter. It's just that the facts this time are wronging Aiqing. I said earlier that when this matter is over, I will give Aiqing the false capital I promised to you before." Give it back to Aiqing, let Aiqing ignore everything, just spend time with Yingyue, I think now is the right time."

"Speaking of this...Yingyue was worried about you all day yesterday, and she rested in the palace yesterday. Ganyi! Hurry up and go to Cuiwei Palace to inform Princess Yingyue, saying that Governor Helian has returned safely, and that before That troublesome matter has been solved easily, so she can feel at ease." Emperor Xian repeated his words without giving Helianshu any room to intervene, and at the end, he turned his head and smiled at Gan Yi, and said that he lacked the emperor's character Coercion, as if just a kind elder.

What else can Helian Shu say?But there was no slight change of mood on his face, he was neither half depressed because of being rejected, nor half appreciative because of Emperor Xian's kind attitude towards him, he just said in a flat tone, "Thank you, Your Majesty. "

Emperor Xian nodded, turned his head to look at Gan Neishi who was also laughing with him, frowned and said, "What are you still doing here? Didn't you ask you to send someone to inform the princess? Go!"

"The princess is in the side hall right now! I think the princess was worried when he heard that Dudu Helian had entered the palace, so he came here with the concubine Wan early in the morning, but he didn't come in, so he waited in the side hall." Gan The waiter hurriedly smiled.

Everyone didn't expect this, the eyes under Commander Zi's mask flickered slightly, and he glanced at He Lianshu without a trace, the latter's stern face was stunned for a moment, Emperor Xian said "Oh", Looking at He Lianshu, he said with a smile, "It really is a newlywed. Alright, let's go!"

He Lianshu hesitated for a while and bowed his hands to Emperor Xian, and said, "The minister will take his leave first!"

Emperor Xian waved his hand with a smile, He Lianshu bowed and walked out of the hall.

Just after walking out of the hall, Xu Jiao and the others at the other end of the hall must have been paying attention to the movement at this end. He Lianshu heard the eager footsteps, and when he turned his head, he saw Xu Jiao trotting towards him with his skirt in his hands.

Wanbi and Hongying followed behind.

But He Lianshu couldn't see other people, and his eyes were only fixed on her. Seeing that she was running in a hurry, he quickly spread his arms and raised his hands to stabilize her, "Run slowly, and be careful not to fall."

Xu Jiao raised his head to look at him, looked at him eagerly with two eyes, and made sure that he was not injured, and his heart was only half at ease. In the middle, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps approaching from behind, Wang Wan smiled and said before approaching, "Now that everyone is back, all the troubles have been solved, so I can finally sleep tonight, right?"

He Lianshu hastily let go of Xu Jiao's arms, and then cupped his hands to Wang Wan, "Ah Jiao is bothering you, thank you Madam Wanbi!"

"There is no need for me to see each other like this between Ajiao and me! But..." Wang Wan glanced at Xu Jiao and said with a smile, "Just take your girl away as soon as possible, she won't be able to eat well with me." , she can’t sleep well, if you come back two days late, she’ll probably starve and lose weight, I can’t afford you!”

The words were joking, but He Lianshu's heart choked slightly when he heard it. He turned his head to look at the faintly visible black shadows in Xu Jiao's eyes, rolled his throat twice, did not speak again, and bowed to Wang Wan again, straightened his back , reached out to hold Xu Jiao's hand, and led her to take a step forward.

Xu Jiao waved to Wang Wan, and Wang Wan smiled at her, watching the two walk away hand in hand, the smile could not help but widen, between them, at least A Jiao is happy!
The two walked hand in hand all the way, but they just kept silent until they got out of the palace gate and got into the carriage.

When the car curtain fell, He Lianshu opened his arms towards Xu Jiao. Xu Jiao threw himself into his arms without hesitation. The two hugged each other tightly. He Lianshu breathed a sigh of relief, Palming the back of her head with one hand around her waist, he lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the top of her head, and said in a hoarse voice, "Did you scare you last night?"

"Aren't you mad at me for making my own decisions?" Xu Jiao raised her head from his arms, looked at him with black and white eyes, both she and He Lianshu understood the deep meaning of the words.

"How could it be?" He Lianshu raised his hand and hooked the hair around her cheeks behind her ears, watching her gently lift the corners of her lips, "My family Ajiao is so smart, if it wasn't for your arrangement, how could I come back so quickly, and what's more... By the way, he retreated from the whole body, and even washed the dirty water on his body clean?"

"However, I'm worried that Mo Chuohan jumps over the wall in a hurry, and it will be bad for you!" Xu Jiao said here, with fear in his eyes, and the hand on his lapel even trembled slightly.She is not only afraid of Mo Chuuhan's dog jumping over the wall, but also of Gu Li Kedun behind Mo Chuuhan, Ashina, and Beijie. There must be many people who want to get rid of him and quickly. Presumably, he wouldn't be much gentler than Da Wei.What's more, there is also his ending in the book. The great witch gave him the order. She said she didn't believe it, and said that my fate was up to me, but the prophecy finally became a pressure on her heart. One side of the stone was so heavy that she couldn't breathe all the time.

Xu Jiao didn't speak, but the panic in his eyes showed too much.

He Lianshu closed her eyes, and put her trembling hands in her palms, "No way! Mo Chuohan doesn't have the guts to kill me, not to mention, how could I let others slaughter me? And look, am I safe now? Come back, did it happen before you? Do you want to count and make sure that not a single hair is missing. "

This man, with an expressionless face and a cold voice, chose to speak witty words, just to make her happy.But Xu Jiao looked at his pair of calm eyes, but there was a faint bitterness in his throat. He said that he would not let others slaughter him, but yesterday he was clearly caught because of her.

"But Mo Chuohan really escaped. In this way, the battle is inevitable, right?" Xu Jiao seemed to have a ball of cotton stuffed in his throat, and his mouth felt astringent.

"this is not your fault!"
