Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 355 Changes
When the man finished speaking, Xu Zhong was already slumped on the ground. He never thought that his little daughter would make such a big mistake.

After a while, he came back to his senses, quickly knelt down again, and kept kowtowing to the Emperor. This time, he didn't dare to intercede again, but he didn't know what he should say.

Kidnapping a noble concubine, still in front of the emperor, is a serious crime of disobedience!
"Take him down." He ordered, and the guard who had brought him in earlier lifted the man on the ground and walked out of the imperial study.

As if thinking of the deaths of his companions, the man kept struggling and shouted, "My lord, save me, my lord! Everything is the lady's idea, I am innocent, my lord!"

The hidden guard thought he was noisy, so he directly blocked his mouth. However, every word he yelled before made Xu Zhong feel like he was walking on a sharp edge.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to do that." Seeing that Xu Zhong was still kowtowing, Emperor Chen opened his mouth lightly, Xu Zhong didn't dare to stop, he didn't know, what else could he do besides this?
"I didn't intend to kill members of your Xu family, even your daughter, I didn't intend to kill her." The ground was already red, it was Xu Zhong's blood, and the emperor started again, letting Xu Zhong move, Can't help but stop.

Raising his head, he stared blankly at Emperor Chen, completely forgetting the rule of not being able to look directly at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you really...really don't want to kill members of the Xu family?" With a trembling voice, Xu Zhong's forehead was blurred and covered with blood.

"Is the words of the emperor a joke? I said that if I don't kill, I won't kill. However, the price to be paid is still indispensable." Emperor Chen's words made Xu Zhong feel as if he was about to be amnesty.

"Thank you, the emperor, for your kindness. As long as...as long as it can appease the anger of the emperor and the imperial concubine, I am willing to pay any price."

For Xu Zhong, he was lucky to be able to save his life. The rest is not important, even if he loses his official position, it doesn't matter.

In the imperial study room, I don't know what Emperor Chen said to Xu Zhong. When he left the imperial study room, his face was pale.

When he left the palace, Mrs. Xu had just arrived at Yuxiu Palace. Su Qingning didn't make things difficult for her. After admonishing her a few words, he sent someone along with the imperial edict to send Mrs. Xu back to Xu's residence.

Mrs. Xu's trip to the palace was simply inexplicable. Thinking of her daughter saying yesterday that she offended the imperial concubine, she wondered if the emperor took a fancy to her daughter and displeased the imperial concubine?

Thinking this way, she couldn't help but look forward to the content of the imperial edict. The incompleteness was the order to make her daughter a harem.

After returning home, Mrs. Xu was completely stunned, because the servants of Xu's family were packing up their things, and it looked as if they were about to move.

Mrs. Xu wanted to go to Mr. Xu, but the edict was here, so the Xu family could only get together and accept the edict first.

As soon as the edict came out, many people's faces became ugly. The contents of the edict were all aimed at Xu Linlang.

Just a disrespectful person is enough for the Xu family to drink a pot, and then there is a comment about losing a woman's virtue, who will dare to marry her in the future?

Not only her, but the Xu family's daughter's reputation will be damaged.

Mrs. Xu didn't know why, after listening to the edict, she complained for her daughter in her heart, she thought it was Su Guifei who was jealous of her daughter, that's why she did this.

Only Xu Zhong understood what it was all about. After receiving the order, Xu Zhong raised his hand and slapped Xu Linlang.

Since childhood, Xu Zhong has never hit Xu Linlang. Everyone in this family obeys her and dotes on her.

Seeing that she was being beaten now, Mrs. Xu quit immediately and pulled Xu Zhong to prevent him from continuing to do anything. Xu Linlang's older brothers also stopped in front of him.

Looking at the people who were protecting Xu Linlang, Xu Zhongping retreated everyone and called his family into the house. He told them what happened last night.

"Because of this rebellious girl, my official position is lost, her reputation is gone, and the future of our Xu family is all ruined. Now we can't even stay in the capital, you still have to protect her!"

Pointing to Xu Linlang's nose, Xu Zhong cursed repeatedly. After the Xu family heard this, they realized the reason for packing up and moving away. Immediately, the eyes they looked at Xu Linlang lost all kindness.

It wasn't until this moment that Xu Linlang really realized what kind of disaster she had caused, and what she wanted to say, but seeing the expressions of her parents and brothers, she couldn't say anything.

A few days later, the Xu family completely moved out of the capital, and the position of Minister of Rites was also replaced by someone else.

Everyone was a little confused about the reason for this incident, and those who knew about it did not have any sympathy for the Xu family.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and it seems that it will be March.

The weather is still cold, and a charcoal basin needs to be burned in the hall to maintain the temperature.

Su's body is already much better, and she is currently learning how to strengthen her body from Dr. Zhong Tai.

Nanny Chen also followed suit. She felt that she was getting older, so learning to make her body better.

The harem was very quiet, and Zhaochun Palace was always fine.

…………

In the west border gate, Shen Xiao sat in the main hall with several soldiers, talking about the affairs outside the border gate.

Recently, they discovered that the small tribes outside the border seemed to have gathered together.

The generals at the border knew that these small tribes acted independently, and no one was convinced. Except for harassing the northwest border together, they had never united.

But looking at it now, those small tribes not only united, but also merged into one, which made everyone a little confused.

How did they know that the reason for this is because Xuanyuanqi, he was the one who brought those small tribes together.

He took advantage of the fact that the small tribes united to harass the northwest frontier, led people to take down several small tribes, and then integrated everything.

In the past few months, he also led people and annexed two small tribes, so the power of the tribe became stronger and stronger.

Although it can't compare with the ones in the northwest border, but the current battle has faintly become the most powerful tribe outside the border.

Outside the border, Xuanyuanqi was leading people to ambush a caravan.

To grow the tribe, one must have money in hand, but where the money comes from is a problem.

Xuanyuanqi's counselor, who advises him, is to find a way to ambush the passing caravan.

There is trade between Daxing and some countries. Merchants can freely enter and leave these countries and send what they don't have to their own hands.

These caravans are the richest, and once they grab one, they can last for a long time.

Recently, several women in the tribe who had been favored by Xuanyuan Qi became pregnant. Xuanyuan Qi felt that he needed money to buy things to nourish the bodies of these women, so that he could give birth to healthy children for him.
