Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 448 Xie Wei Enters the Palace
"What? Has it come to this? But, but I can't get out now. I don't have any other choice."

"How about this, you go find Mr. Xie and tell him I asked you to go." Jiang Xuening said

Zhou Yinzhi was obviously moved after hearing this, but he soon shook his head and said, "Second Miss, I think you have to go and tell it in person. If I go, Master Xie won't believe it."

"After all, you know what happened to me before. It will delay important matters." Zhou Yinzhi said

"Yeah, that's true, but, but I can't get out now?" Jiang Xue Ning said

"Second Miss, since I can come in, then you can naturally go out. Second Miss, I will come over tomorrow, and I promise to let you out then." Zhou Yinzhi said

"Well, okay, as long as you can let me out, then come tomorrow." Jiang Xue Ning said

After hearing this, Zhou Yinzhi clasped his fists and bowed, then left the room. Looking at Zhou Yinzhi's departing back, Jiang Xuening finally felt relieved.

At this time, Zhou Yinzhi left the room and successfully left Jiang Mansion after some tricks. On the way back, he couldn't help but think of what had just happened.

At a certain moment just now, he was really moved, but the reason why he gave up in the end was entirely because he thought of the person who was staring at him.

If they saw that he went to Master Xie's residence, it would be very likely that the master would give up on him in advance. Even though he thought it was unlikely, he would not dare to take the risk as long as there was a slight possibility.

After all, he only has one life, and he hasn't enjoyed this colorful world enough. He doesn't want to die so early.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was the next day. Zhou Yinzhi came in during the day this time, and then took Jiang Xuening out of the Jiang family little by little.

"Second Miss, I have spies watching me, so I can't accompany you next time. You go by yourself. I will lead my spies away." Zhou Yinzhi said

After hearing this, Jiang Xuening nodded and left. Seeing this, Zhou Yinzhi did not stop and turned around and left.

After taking a detour for a while, Jiang Xuening finally arrived at Xie Wei's house. When Xie Wei learned that Jiang Xuening had come, he was very surprised.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be under house arrest by Minister Jiang?" Xie Wei asked
"Sir, it's true that I'm grounded, but who am I? How can such a thing be difficult for me? Okay, sir, I won't chat with you for now. I came here this time to tell you something important."

"This is what happened. When my brother-in-law and sister came home, they came to me and told me that I knew it was a big deal, so I did it in a hurry?" Jiang Xuening said a little embarrassedly.
"Oh? In other words, you were in a hurry and told Marquis Dingyuan that you had a secret relationship with me, and then Marquis Dingyuan told Minister Jiang, and then you were confined to your house, right?" Xie Wei said
"Yes, that's right, but that's not the point. The point is what Cao Cheng said to me. The meaning is very clear. Things are not something they can decide. Sir, do you understand?" Jiang Xue Ning said hurriedly

After hearing this, Xie Wei also restrained his inner calculations and said, "This matter is indeed very difficult. How about this? I will go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow."

"What? Sir, you want to go directly to His Majesty? Is that possible?" Jiang Xuening asked worriedly

"Don't worry, it's okay. I'm just testing His Majesty's intentions. If he really has this idea, I naturally have other ways to deal with it." Xie Wei said
"Okay, sir, actually I came to see you this time for another matter. Zhou Yinzhi came to see me last night and told me that Xue Yuan only gave him ten days." Jiang Xuening said

"What? You said Zhou Yinzhi came to see you last night? He sneaked in? How is it, are you not hurt?" Xie Wei suddenly became a little excited.

"Sir, don't worry, I'm fine. In fact, the reason why I can come to you today is because of Zhou Yinzhi's help. He has been targeted by the spies now."

"If we don't find a solution, he will have no choice but to take action." Jiang Xuening said

After hearing this, Xie Wei knew that he had overreacted, so he said directly, "I understand. I will tell His Majesty tomorrow."

"Well, I'll leave everything to you, sir. Okay, sir, I've been out for a long time, and I should go back. If my father finds out, I'll be in trouble again." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Wait, it's not safe for you to go back alone. After all, the spies behind Zhou Yinzhi may also notice you. How about this, Daoqin, you take Ning Er back." Xie Wei said
Jiang Xuening, who had wanted to refuse, did not refuse after hearing this. Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Xie Wei's face gradually became gloomy.

He actually believed what Jiang Xuening had just said, because this was indeed something that the current emperor could do. He could solve his own troubles by going with the flow, so why not do it?

If he were in Shen Lang's shoes, he would probably make the same choice as Shen Lang. But precisely because he knew this, he was not optimistic about tomorrow's outcome.

But no matter how pessimistic he is, he has to go. After all, there are many things that you have to do even though you know they are impossible. This is Xie Wei's character.

At this time, Jiang Xuening encountered a big trouble, because when she quietly returned to her room, she found that her father and mother were there.

She knew that she couldn't avoid it, so she could only walk forward slowly.

"Oh, Miss Jiang Er still remembered to come back?" Mother Jiang said
"Father, mother, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again next time. Please don't be angry, okay?" Jiang Xuening said coquettishly.

"Hmph, stop it. Tell me the truth. Where have you been? I'm telling you, you only have this one chance. If you dare to lie to me, you'll stay in your room forever!" Jiang Boyou said.

After hearing this, Jiang Xuening felt a sudden shock in her heart for no reason and couldn't help but tell the truth.

"I, I went to Mr. Xie's place, but father, I assure you that we have nothing. I actually lied to my brother-in-law last time." Jiang Xuening explained.

"Haha, okay, I guessed where you went. What are you telling me now? You said you don't have any private affair? Then why did you run away this time? Just to see the gentleman?" Jiang Boyu naturally didn't believe this.

"Father, oh, let me tell you the truth. Actually, my brother-in-law told me a big thing last time, but I couldn't solve it, so I had to go to Mr. Jiang." Jiang Xuening said

"Hmm? Big news, or did Jianwei tell you? Then I'm curious, tell me, what happened that scared you like this?" Jiang Boyu asked. "Father, actually, this is what happened. Duke Dingguo plans to..." Jiang Xuening said

"What? What did you say? You said that Duke Dingguo was planning to get rid of the King of Linzi?" Jiang Boyou asked

"Yes, father. Actually, I was also a little surprised when I first found out about it, but this matter is not that simple. This matter is not just the idea of ​​Duke Dingguo himself." Jiang Xuening said

"What did you say? It's not his own idea? Then what is it? Wait, Xue Ning, how could Jianwei tell you such a thing? Why did you tell Xie Wei?" Jiang Boyou asked

"Father, because this matter has something to do with Yan Lin, so, actually my brother-in-law wants me to tell Yan Lin."

"But Yan Lin's current situation is very special, so I can only go and tell Mr., and then ask him to pass this news to Yan Lin." Jiang Xue Ning said

"How can this be related to Yan Lin? Okay, I understand. Xue Ning, remember, you are not allowed to go out again in the future. If you want to go out, you must tell me." Jiang Boyou said

After hearing this, Jiang Xuening naturally nodded hurriedly, and seeing this, Jiang Boyu nodded directly, then pulled his reluctant wife away.

Looking at the backs of her parents leaving, Jiang Xuening finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, why are you leaving so quickly? I still have a lot to ask Xue Ning. How come you can come out so quickly?" Madam Jiang complained.
"You still want to ask? What do you want to ask? Do you know that the more you know about this kind of thing, the more dangerous it is. And that's Yan Lin. Don't you know what that kid thinks of our Xue Ning?"

"Why? Do you really want our daughter to go find Yan Lin?" Jiang Boyou asked

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang was silent for a while. Compared with Yan Lin, it seemed that Xie Wei was really not that important.

That evening, Zhou Yinzhi came uninvited. Jiang Xuening was not as surprised by his arrival as she was last time, but looked normal.

"You're here? Sit down. I'll tell the master everything you said today. The master said that he will go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow. Please wait patiently for another day and come back tomorrow night." Jiang Xue Ning said

After hearing this, Zhou Yinzhi naturally knew that this was an order to expel the guest, so he stood up and left immediately.

Time quickly came to the next day, and after the court was dismissed, Xie Wei went straight into the imperial study.

"Thank you, my dear, why are you here?" Shen Lang said
"Your Majesty, I am here to see you today because I recently received news that the Duke of Dingguo intends to attack the Prince of Linzi. Because this matter is of great importance, I have come to report it to Your Majesty." Xie Wei said
"Oh? Is this true? Where did this news come from? Is it reliable? Shouldn't the Xue family support my good brother? Why would they kill him?"

"After all, didn't they just get married? Why would they do it now?" Shen Lang said
"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I am confused about. According to common sense, it is indeed impossible to happen, but I dare to be sure that this news is absolutely true." Xie Wei said
"Oh? This is very interesting. Lord Xie, what kind of situation do you think would make the Xue family change their mind and kill my brother?" Shen Lang asked.
"Your Majesty, this kind of incredible thing can only happen under one circumstance, that is, the benefits that Dingyuan Marquis can bring are greater than those of Linzi King."

"Only this can explain why the Xue family did this." Xie Wei said
"Oh? My dear, do you mean that Cao Cheng and the Xue family are going to reconcile?" Shen Lang said
"Your Majesty, from what I have learned so far, this is the only possibility." Xie Wei said
"I understand. My dear, please go down first. I need to think about this matter carefully." Shen Lang said
Xie Wei knew that it was time for him to leave, so he bowed and then walked out. Looking at Xie Wei's departing back, a gloomy look appeared on Shen Lang's face.

In fact, he understood the meaning of Xie Wei's words. He had actually considered this point a long time ago. However, comparing the two, his own brother posed a greater threat to him.

After all, even if the Xue family wanted to rebel, the world would not recognize it. At that time, the world would be in chaos, and other royal family members would take advantage of the situation.

By then, the throne will definitely still belong to their Shen family, but his good brother is different, he is the one who really threatens his position.

That is why he turned a blind eye to the risks involved, chose to sit back and do nothing, or even add fuel to the fire, with the aim of eliminating the trouble once and for all.

But now it seems that the Xue family still doesn't want to kill Shen Jie, otherwise, why would they let Xie Wei know about this? Why Xie Wei?
This was obviously directed at him. The Xue family wanted him to speak. Thinking of this, Shen Lang's doubts disappeared, and were replaced by a hint of sarcasm.

Then he let Wang Xinyi in and gave him a few instructions. At the same time, Xie Wei had already got on his carriage.

He could tell from the conversation just now that His Majesty really knew about this matter, which meant that even if these were not ordered by His Majesty, he must have tacitly approved them.

It seems that I still underestimated the determination of His Majesty. In order to clear the obstacles for his children, he even chose to allow the possible reconciliation between Cao Cheng and the Xue family.

Although he knew very well that a rift had already occurred between Cao Cheng and the Xue family, they were a family after all, and even if there was a rift between them, they were still a family.

At this time, Jiang Xuening calculated that the time was about right, so she got up and went to her father's study.

"Xue Ning, you're here? Are you planning to go out and meet Xie Wei?" Jiang Boyou asked directly

"That's right, father. Today, my master went to see His Majesty. I want to ask for an answer. I hope you can allow your daughter to go out and see the master in the future." Jiang Xuening said

"Okay, I agree. Go ahead and come back soon." Jiang Boyou said

After hearing this, Jiang Xuening hurriedly bowed, then turned and left. Looking at his daughter's departing back, Jiang Boyu's face was full of worry.

When Jiang Xue Ning arrived at Xie's house, Xie Wei had not returned yet, so she waited there. Not long after waiting, Xie Wei came back.

"Sir, you are back. How is it? What did His Majesty say?" Jiang Xuening asked

"Ning Er, you are right. His Majesty has known about this for a long time. He acquiesced to this matter, or he was very happy to see it happen." Xie Wei said
"What? It's really true? Doesn't that mean Shen Jie is dead?" Jiang Xue Ning said

Xie Wei didn't say anything after hearing this, but Jiang Xuening knew what he meant.
