Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Little did Murong Hong know that at the same time, all the accomplices of his old master and young master were wiped out in one fell swoop.

Jiang Wenwen, Hong Zhihe, Liu Liyang, none of them slipped through the net.

"Are you being lawless? Who sent you here?" When Liu Lichang was captured by the Royal Forest Army, his face was filled with dissatisfaction, "I am a close associate of His Highness the Night King, how dare you arrest me?"

"You are the one who is being arrested." King Xuan raised his slightly lazily voice and said coldly, "It was so well hidden that the emperor took his eyes off me."

Liu Liyang shook his beard and stared at King Xuan fiercely.

"Is King Xuan trying to rebel while the Night King is away in the capital? His Highness the Night King may have really made a mistake."

King Xuan almost laughed angrily at him.

"Hmph, you are so eloquent and eloquent, no wonder even the emperor was fooled by you."

"But the witnesses and physical evidence are all there. You can't make trouble no matter what. Take it away!"

Liu Liyang was still unwilling to give in. On the way to Dali Temple, he kept shouting that King Xuan was treason, trying to confuse right and wrong.

It wasn't until he was imprisoned in the prison and saw Jiang Wen, Hong Zhihe and others that he puffed his beard and stared in despair.

"Who betrayed me? Hong Zhihe, was it you?" Liu Liyang pointed at Hong Zhihe, his voice trembling with anger.

"Sir, it turns out that you are also one of the former Crown Princess!" Hong Zhihe looked surprised. He really didn't know that Liu Liyang was one of his own.

In order to prevent the carrots from being pulled out of the mud, Liu Liyang's identity was not exposed at all. If Ye Yunxi had not said it himself, no one would have been able to dig him out.

Yongsheng Trading Company, Murong Mansion~~ were all taken away in one pot, causing quite a shock in the capital.

People were talking a lot, wondering what happened.

In Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, Duan Ao and Duan Pei met in the water pavilion.

Duan Ao's face dropped, and he seemed to have aged a lot.

"Brother, you have been taking care of Ye Yunxi these years, right?"

Duan Ao nodded, slowly picked up the teacup, blew on the foam, and took a sip.

The scene from 29 years ago flashed before his eyes, when there was a fire in the East Palace. He rushed into the fire scene desperately and found Ye Yunxi under the ruins.

Then he held her and used Qinggong to sneak out of the palace.

He set up a house outside Xicheng, settled Ye Yunxi in, and took care of her secretly for so many years.

"She is also an innocent victim!" After a long silence, Duan Ao sighed with emotion, "The fire took away everything from her. I am afraid no one can understand her injustice and grief."

"Maybe so." Duan Pei held the tea cup with emotion in his eyes, "But the fire in the East Palace was not caused by Emperor Qi Heng, but by Wei Yuwen colluding with Zhou Yuanliang."

Duan Ao said nothing. Although he had not investigated this matter, he was sure it had nothing to do with Emperor Qi Heng.

Duan Pei stared at Duan Ao with a heavy expression.

"I was in Prince Ye's Mansion today and heard many secrets from Princess Ye that neither you nor I knew."

"Not only Ye Yunxi, but also one of her sons, Wei Yan, escaped from the fire that year."

"Really?" Duan Ao looked surprised and a little unbelievable. He really knew nothing about these things. He only knew that Ye Yunxi could not let go of this hatred and never thought that he would hide so many things from him.

Duan Pei told him exactly what Shen Yuyu told him today.

"The villain who ruined Princess Aya in Prince Rui's Mansion a few years ago was Wei Yan."

"The Night King and the Night Princess almost died when they fell off the cliff in Wuyin Mountain. It was also caused by Wei Yan sending people to chase them." "In addition, he poisoned Emperor Qi Heng to help the youngest son born by Xia Luoluo ascend the throne. Wei Yuande and Ye The king’s civil war was all the work of Wei Yan.”

"And behind Wei Yan is Ye Yunxi!"

Duan Ao was stunned after hearing this, and even forgot to drink the tea brought to his mouth.

If all this is true, wouldn't he have been taking care of a bad wolf all these years?
"That's not all." Duan Pei continued to speak, telling the truth about Ye Yunxi's crimes of recruiting robbers and selling women and children.

After hearing this, Duan Ao put down his teacup weakly, his heart filled with self-blame and regret.

The reason why he has not been close to the royal family in these years is because the royal family is ruthless. Now after hearing what Duan Pei said, he realized that he was the most confused one.

Especially when Ye Yunxi told him without any secret that he wanted to kill Emperor Qi Heng and Prince Rui, he actually acquiesced!
He is simply confused!
"Brother, where are you going?" Duan Pei asked hurriedly when Duan Ao suddenly stood up.

"Enter the palace." Duan Ao said, "I bear the thorn and apologize."

On the palace road not far from the palace, Emperor Qi Heng, who had left the palace incognito, was sitting on a carriage. Duan Zhengde, the Minister of War, was riding beside him.

As I was walking, suddenly a horse came galloping in front of me. The man on the horse was carrying thorns, and he looked very familiar.

When he got closer, he saw that it was his father. Duan Zhengde hurriedly stopped Duan Ao and looked at him in surprise. "Dad, what are you doing? Where are you going?"

"Enter the palace and ask the emperor for forgiveness." Duan Ao said and was about to go around, but was stopped by Duan Zhengde.

"Dad, the emperor is in the carriage."

Duan Ao hurriedly dismounted and knelt down when he came to the carriage.

At this time, Emperor Qi Heng also got off the carriage and supported Mr. Duan.

"What's the crime, my dear?" The men of our Duan family sacrificed their lives on the battlefield to protect our family and the country. We are the great heroes of the Zhou Kingdom. What crime is there?'
As he spoke, he untied the thorn sticks tied to Mr. Duan's back and threw them on the ground.

"By the way, there is a family banquet at Prince Ye's Mansion tonight. Come with me to the banquet."

After saying that, he happily dragged Mr. Duan into the carriage.

"My dear, you are old and your waist has been injured. It is better not to ride a horse and ride in a carriage with me."

Duan Ao really didn't expect that Emperor Qi Heng would actually remember his waist injury, and he almost burst into tears.

He had always felt that Emperor Qi Heng was too kind and lacked the toughness that an emperor should have. He never expected that his temperament could bring a different kind of warmth to people.

"Your Majesty, I am so ashamed!" Duan Ao said with a sore nose after getting on the carriage.

He still wanted to mention Ye Yunxi's matter, but the emperor didn't allow him to speak and interrupted him directly.

"You should indeed be ashamed. Princess Ye has sent so many invitations to your house, but she still can't move you. Are you, an elder, ashamed of yourself?"

"Yes, this is indeed true." Duan Ao nodded repeatedly, "Except for this."

"Besides this, I also want to apologize to Aiqing." Emperor Qi Heng's eyes were red, "You have repeatedly urged me to change the throne to a prince, but I refused. Only now do I fully understand Aiqing's helplessness at that time."

"Alas, I failed as an emperor and brought disaster and war to the people of the world. When the Night King returns to Beijing, I will abdicate the throne to him."

"At that time, I will play chess with you, my beloved, and Prince Rui, and enjoy a few years of family happiness."

“We are all old, let the young people take over the world.

Duan Ao's eyes burst into tears after hearing Emperor Qi Heng's heartfelt words. (End of chapter)
