The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Chapter 515: No Way Back

Nan Xuan and Lin Dalang are about to arrive in Kyoto. After staying in Lingnan for a long time, they are eager to return to Kyoto.

Their first stop upon returning to Kyoto was the Imperial Palace. They hoped to report to the Emperor as soon as possible and inform him of the situation in Lingnan.

Censor Xiao, the once prominent official in the court, is now seriously injured and recuperating in Nan Xuan's villa, the Nan family cottage.

After Nan Xuan and Lin Dalang entered the palace, they specifically asked Li Dui to go and tell Yun Xi the news.

Li Dui knew very well that the relationship between the Fifth Miss and the Master was complicated. When he reported, his tone revealed a hint of caution: "Fifth Miss, the Master is now recuperating in the Nan Family's cottage, and his injuries are quite serious. If you don't want to see him, you can send someone to send some supplements over, which is also considered filial piety."

Yun Xi was silent for a moment after hearing this. Her feelings towards Censor Xiao were already complicated and indescribable.

She knew very well that she should fulfill her filial duty, but there was always a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't get over. She nodded and said softly, "Okay, thank you for your help, Uncle Lidui."

After Li Dui received the instructions, he turned around and left without asking any other questions about other things in Kyoto.

He knew that the Fifth Miss's thoughts were not something he could easily guess.

When Yi Han returned from the Silichang, Marquis Wu'an told him about what happened to Censor Xiao.

Yi Han frowned. He knew that the relationship between Yun Xi and Censor Xiao had always been a problem.

He thought about it and felt that maybe he should go talk to Yun Xi and see if he could give her some advice.

However, when he found Yun Xi, he discovered that she seemed to have made a decision.

She took the initiative to bring up the matter of Xiao Yushi and asked Yi Han, "He left Beijing for Lingnan without permission. If the emperor knew about it, how would he deal with it?"

Yi Han was shocked, he knew the seriousness of the problem.

He pondered for a moment and replied, "This is indeed a thorny question. Although Censor Xiao is an official of the Censorate, he is a military officer after all. A military officer who leaves the capital without permission is considered to have violated military orders. Before a war, military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Violating military orders is almost the same as deceiving the emperor."

Yun Xi's expression became more solemn. She knew the seriousness of the matter.

If Liu Prajna reported the matter, Censor Xiao's crime would be even more serious.

She was silent for a moment, then made up her mind and said, "No, I have to go to the little building and ask him to come to the palace to apologize!"

Yi Han looked at her with some concern, he knew that doing so was very risky.

But he also understood Yun Xi's determination, and he whispered, "Have you ever thought that if you ask him to come to the palace to plead guilty, once the emperor is furious, his life will be in danger."

Yun Xi took a deep breath. She knew that Yi Han’s worries were justified.

But she also knew that she couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

She whispered, "That's why I can't just sit back and watch. He got hurt because he was protecting me, and I can't let him lose his life because of this." Yi Han looked at Yun Xi's determined eyes, and he couldn't help but feel deeply moved. He knew that he couldn't change her decision. He whispered, "Okay, I'll go with you."

However, Yun Xi shook her head. She didn't want Yi Han to see the awkward interaction between her and Censor Xiao.

She whispered, "No, just take a rest. I can go alone."

Yi Han looked at Yun Xi's back as she turned away, feeling mixed emotions.

He knew that Yun Xi was a woman with her own opinions, and no one could change her decision.

As night fell, Yun Xi rode to the small building alone. Nan Xuan had arranged several confidants to serve here, including Li Dui.

Li Dui was a little surprised to see Yun Xi coming, but more of a pleasant surprise.

"The fifth young lady is here?" There was a hint of trembling in Li Dui's voice.

Yun Xi nodded and asked softly, "How is he?"

Li Dui sighed and replied, "The situation is not very good. The injury keeps coming back. Although I took the Xuanyuan Pill and saved my life, I'm afraid I can never go back to the way I was before."

A complex emotion surged in Yun Xi's heart. She knew that all this was caused by her.

She took a deep breath and said to Li Dui, "Take me to see him."

Li Dui nodded and brought Yun Xi to Censor Xiao's room.

The room was dark and silent, with only the faint candlelight illuminating the dying person on the bed.

Yun Xi looked at the face that was once familiar yet unfamiliar, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

She walked to the bed and sat down, calling softly, "Master Censor..."

The person on the bed moved his eyelids slightly but did not open his eyes.

Yun Xi knew that he had heard her voice. She whispered, "I already know that you left the capital without permission. You must go to the palace to apologize to the emperor, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Censor Xiao still didn't say anything, but tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Yun Xi felt a pain in her heart. She knew that he was feeling regretful and ashamed for what he had done.

She took a deep breath and continued, "I will go with you. No matter what the outcome, I will be by your side."

After saying this, Yun Xi stood up and left the room. She knew that she needed to give Xiao Yushi some time to accept this reality.

And she must also be prepared to face everything.
