high official

Chapter 1038
At a time when everyone thought that Wang Xian was doomed and must be in constant panic at this moment, Uncle Zhongyong's mansion was peaceful.Gu Xiaolian's condition improved, which encouraged Wang Xian to put all his energy into helping her regain consciousness.

As for the hustle and bustle of the outside world, Wang Xian didn't care.Because he knew very well that it was useless for all the officials in the court to play bullets like snow, or plead for his life. It was not public opinion, or even the emperor's thoughts, but his own strength that could really determine his life and death...

When the eunuch who passed the decree came to the mansion and informed him to attend the court meeting the next day, Wang Xian was combing Gu Xiaolian's hair. The jade comb passed through the waterfall-like hair smoothly without any hindrance.

Seeing Wang Xian combing the hair of an expressionless beauty while sitting in the flower pavilion, the eunuch passing the decree had no intention of getting up, so he could only remind him: "Uncle, please accept the decree."

"En." Wang Xian just nodded, and put a flower on Gu Xiaolian's head, without even looking at the eunuch.

"This is an oral order from the Holy One." The eunuch delivering the decree was a little confused.

"Just say what you want, I'll listen." Wang Xian still said calmly.

"This..." The eunuch who passed the decree was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a madman who despised the emperor. It took a while to remember that the emperor's authority must be maintained, and he said sternly: "Uncle Zhongyong, you are too much! You are so indifferent to the emperor!" The imperial decree is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"So what, it's not bad." Wang Xian carefully arranged Gu Xiaolian's beautiful hair, and saw that there were still a few strands of hair leaking out, he couldn't help shaking his head in frustration, and then shook his head again. , Let that hair loose and recomb.

The eunuch who passed the decree was left hanging there. He had never encountered such a situation before, and he was completely dumbfounded.Dai Hua on the side gave the eunuch a push: "If you have something to say, hurry up, if it's nothing, get out!"

The eunuch who delivered the decree turned pale for a while, and finally said in a muffled voice: "There is a decree, and Uncle Zhongyong must attend tomorrow morning."

"Got it." Wang Xian nodded, and continued to comb Gu Xiaolian's hair.

"Hey!" The eunuch Chuanzhi stomped away, and when he returned, he naturally complained to his superior about Wang Xian.But the boss heard it, but only said that the guy was going to be finished tomorrow, let him be rampant... He actually suppressed this matter.

.

Yin time the next day.

Dai Hua and others didn't close their eyes all night, got up just after midnight, and gathered outside Wang Xian's room.

Wang Xian also stayed up all night, sitting withered in front of Gu Xiaolian's bed.I don't know if Gu Xiaolian has a feeling in her heart, she has been uneasy for the whole night, she has to hold her hand by Wang Xian, so that her expression can be at peace.As long as Wang Xian takes his hand away for a moment, Gu Xiaolian will look pained and tremble slightly...

Wang Xian didn't know whether Gu Xiaolian's current situation was good or bad, so he could only hold her hand tightly, stroked her hair lightly, and hummed an out-of-tune tune. After a while, Gu Xiaolian calmed down ...

Under the lamp, Wang Xian looked at Gu Xiaolian's face, recalling his ups and downs over the years, thinking of his wife, children and parents who were far away in Jinan and Nanjing. It was only after seeing the movement of his subordinates outside that he came back from his thoughts, pressed a deep kiss on Gu Xiaolian's forehead, and then wanted to pull out his hand and stand up.

But found that his right hand was held by Gu Xiaolian...

Wang Xian was stunned, and immediately said with moist eyes: "Xiao Lian, are you worried that I won't come back?"

Naturally, Gu Xiaolian would not open his mouth to answer.

"Don't worry, I assure you, I will return to you before noon." Wang Xian said softly.

Gu Xiaolian's hand still did not let go.

"Your family officials always do what they say, you have to have confidence in me." Wang Xian could only use a little force, pulled out his fingers one by one, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I will definitely come back ,must……"

After speaking, Wang Xian got up resolutely, turned around and left the room.

Behind him, on Gu Xiaolian's cheek, there was clearly a tear, crystal clear...

.

Wang Xian pushed open the door and went out. Dai Hua and others outside the door stood in a circle with solemn expressions. Seeing him coming out, everyone whispered together: "My lord..."

"Never sleep." Wang Xian looked at them, chuckled lightly and said, "What are you all doing here?"

"I'll see you off, sir." Everyone said in a low voice.

"I'm going to court, not to the court, so what can I give away?" Wang Xian teased, but he knew in his heart that there was no difference between going to the court and going to the court.He walked through the crowd, patted each brother on the shoulder, and then entered the main room.

In the main room, the guards had already prepared washing water and a brand new earl's crown uniform.

Wang Xian sat down in front of the basin, took the towel from Dai Hua, soaked it in warm water, and washed his face carefully.Then he sat up straight and asked Dai Hua to comb his hair and put on the black gauze hat.

While helping Wang Xian to dress, Dai Hua asked in a low voice, "My lord, is there anything else you haven't explained?"

In front of Dai Hua, Wang Xian didn't pretend to be confident, and sighed: "Xiao Lian's condition seemed to have improved a lot last night, if I can't come back today, you have to send her to Madam. Madam will take care of her, and there should be a day of recovery." Then he sighed and said, "Madam's health is not good, I feel really sad for a patient to worry about the patient."

"Yes." Dai Hua nodded, and didn't say anything nonsense about 'Your Excellency must be safe and sound'.

"If I don't come back, the whole family will have to go into exile in the end of the world. Please look at our brother's love, we must settle them down before making other plans." Wang Xian looked at Dai Hua, said softly.

"Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate's life belongs to my lord, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect my lord's family to the end." Dai Hua solemnly promised.

"Thank you brother." Wang Xian nodded, he knew that since Dai Hua agreed, he would do what he said.

After dressing, Wang Xian went out to get on the sedan chair, and went outside the gate of Xiyuan wearing the stars and the moon.

.

In Wanzhu Garden of Jinan Prefecture, Lin Qing'er and Ling Xiao also stayed up all night.Although thousands of miles away, Lin Qing'er still clearly realized that today's court meeting will be the moment to decide Wang Xian's fate...

The second daughter sat by the bed, looking at Wang You who was soundly asleep, Ling Xiao sighed softly: "It's better to be such an old child, you don't know anything, so you don't have to worry about anything..."

"Yes." Lin Qing'er coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "Sister, if the officials can't pass today's test, you'd better go back to Wudang Mountain, don't accompany us to the end of the world..."

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, and said with a firm face: "No matter where the world is, I will protect you!" With a trace of tenderness in his eyes, he said: "This is what I promised him. Must do..."

"Hey, sister, why are you bothering?" Lin Qing'er held Ling Xiao's hand and sighed softly: "You still have a long way to go, and the officials definitely don't want to hurt you for the rest of your life..."

"Sister, this is the path I chose myself, and I can't blame him..." Ling Xiao said softly but firmly, and said angrily after finishing speaking: "But that guy is really nothing, leaving the whole family behind to take risks in the capital, isn't it? Is revenge so important?"

"Men have things they have to do, and women can't understand and can't stop them." Lin Qing'er smiled and said: "And I believe that the official will not ignore us. He must go to the capital for us... ..."

"My sister should always face him!" Ling Xiao pouted.

"Aren't you the same?" Lin Qing'er glanced at Ling Xiao with a smile, gently took her hand, and said softly, "Don't worry, he will definitely come back."

"Yeah." Ling Xiao nodded, she thought so too.

.

The one who stayed up all night was the emperor in Xiyuan.

After taking Taoist Hu's elixir, Zhu Di's sleep was significantly reduced. He only needed to take a light sleep for two hours a day, and he could be energetic all day long.In Zhu Di's view, this is naturally the miraculous effect of the elixir, which means that he has regained his youth!Zhu Di was so satisfied with this that he completely ignored the sudden rapid heartbeat, the occasional dizziness, and the bloodshot eyes...

Because the previous health condition was really bad, Zhu Di thought that these small discomforts were just remnants of the previous illness, and they would definitely disappear as he continued to take the pill...

Last night, Zhu Dixu went to bed at night and couldn't sleep for a long time. His mind was full of pictures of how Wang Xian was sent to the [-]th floor of hell in the court today.When he was tossing and turning ugly on the bed, Zhu Di finally couldn't help sitting up from the dragon bed.

Huang He, who was on duty, was alarmed immediately, and came in to see that the emperor was sitting there lost in thought.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Huang He asked softly.

"I can't sleep." Zhu Di replied.

"Maybe the old servant can fall asleep after rubbing the emperor's feet." Huang He said hurriedly.

"No need, besides the ****, I can't sleep well all the time." Zhu Di shook his head.

Seeing that the emperor was about to get out of bed, Huang He hurriedly put on his shoes and helped Zhu Di stand up.

Supporting Huang He, Zhu Di walked to the table in the outer room. On the table was an imperial edict drawn up by the cabinet yesterday, and the content on it was to send Wang Xian to prison for interrogation!

With the light on, Zhu Di read the imperial edict again, shook his head and said, "The tone is too soft, it's too cheap for him!" 'He' naturally refers to Wang Xian.Speaking of which, the emperor snorted coldly and said, "It's this time and they're still covering up, what are Yang Shiqi and the others worried about?"

"Your Majesty, do you want the bachelor on duty to rewrite this decree?" Huang He asked.

"Don't bother them," Zhu Di snorted and said, "I told you to write."

"Yes." Huang He replied, quickly picked up the pen, hung his wrist on a blank edict, and then looked at the emperor with bated breath.

"Wang Xian has always acted rebelliously. In the past, he intervened in the battle for the crown prince and separated my flesh and blood. He deserves to die. However, God has the virtue of good life. I think he has long-standing talents. I hope he will correct his mistakes and serve the country. He made efforts to make the governor, Jin Yiwei, crown him an earl, and confide in his heart. However, in the past three years, his actions have become more and more perverse, and he has repeatedly sinned and lawless. Thinking of his small merits, he tolerated everything, but unexpectedly, this beast was lawless, dared to join forces, colluded with the white lotus monster, murdered my descendants, brought disaster to my country, harmed my people, and coveted the ancestral artifact! For me, you must not stay in the heaven and earth, and be a tarnish to our court! Now he will be executed Ling Chi and exterminate the nine clans, so as to scare evil and evil, and be a warning to all generations!"
