Chapter 252 The Secret History of the Xiao Family
Looking forward to Zhixue, Yi Xue and Zhang Shi were happy for a while, and then Yi Xue asked again, "My lord, I see why there are only the old prince and the old princess in the house?"

After they entered the door, they never saw the other Xiao family members again. This is not normal. If Xiao Yu's parents were in the border town, it is impossible that they do not have brothers and sisters.

Xiao Yu's expression suddenly became abnormal, although he managed to remain calm, but Yi Xue could see that something was wrong with him, and immediately felt that she was abrupt.There must be something ulterior in such a big and wealthy family.She hurriedly wanted to apologize to Xiao Yu, but she heard Xiao Yu speak.

"Our family is indeed more than my father's generation." Xiao Yu said, sighing deeply, "Actually, there is nothing to hide. I am afraid that apart from you, all the dignitaries in the capital of the empire know."

What happened so seriously that the whole capital knew about it?

Xiao Yu said slowly, "More than ten years ago, there was a famous text case in Beijing, which involved a lot of people. At that time, there were many victims. My two uncles were both involved, so... they died."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu's face became ugly, "I was young at that time, but unfortunately I found out later that they were framed. If it weren't for the credit of grandpa assisting the Holy One to ascend the throne, I'm afraid our family would be unavoidable too."

Yi Xue was shocked immediately, if the Holy Majesty was like this, how could the Xiao family gain the trust of the Holy Majesty again?
Xiao Yu looked at Yi Xue, "Are you very puzzled that we are still helping the Holy One?"

Yi Xue nodded, expressing her acknowledgment of her thoughts.

Xiao Yu nodded, "Actually, the Holy Majesty has already regretted it, but those who framed my uncle and third uncle were very smart, and they were not caught by the Holy Majesty. Although everyone understands it, who can produce evidence to clear their charges? Grandpa also had no choice but to watch his two sons die tragically. It’s no secret. The person who caused this incident killed more than 5000 people, and half of the officials in the empire died unexpectedly.”

More than 5000 people?Yi Xue was horrified immediately, this was very similar to Qin Shihuang's historical tragedy of burning books and burying Confucian scholars, Bai Qi's murder of Zhao's army, and Qianlong's literary inquisition.

"I used to secretly hate it too, but what can this do? The Holy One is my uncle, and my grandfather was a veteran of the two dynasties. He has been escorting the Xiao family's country. Later, the Holy One felt guilty and named my grandfather the Great General to Protect the Country, giving him more than half of the military power." Grandpa has been compensated. So we can only let go of our sadness. In fact, His Majesty is also a good person, but it is a pity that he has just ascended the throne and was deceived, so we regret it."

Xiao Yu said, recalling.Yi Xue could feel Xiao Yu's sad mood, and at the same time, she also had a sense of belonging to the Holy Majesty, a sense of belonging to this family.

As for whether the Holy Majesty was deceived, Yi Xue really disagreed. Who can ascend the throne is not a human being, not a researcher of thick and black studies?Of course, without proof, Yi Xue couldn't say a single word.

Xiao Yu looked at Mrs. Zhang, which made Mrs. Zhang inexplicably nervous, "Auntie, half a year after the written case, a tragedy happened to your Zhang family. Although I don't know what happened, it must be related to the written case."

Mrs. Zhang fell down immediately. Yi Xue hurriedly pulled her up and helped Mrs. Zhang to sit on the chair, "Mother, are you okay, drink some tea. Qiushui, help Madam go back"

"No, no need", Zhang quickly waved her hand, she wanted to know what happened back then, why the Zhang family was almost wiped out.

Yi Xue nodded, she also wanted to know the situation at that time.

But Xiao Yu didn't give them an answer. Xiao Yu said with a wry smile, "Your home was ransacked back then. To be honest, I checked a lot of information, but there is no criminal record of your family. That is to say, your family's situation is very special and belongs to the senior Confidential, I am afraid that only my grandfather can access it, but it has been so long in the past, I am afraid that if there is a problem, those records have been destroyed."

Xiao Yu is not aimless, he is very clear about the nature of this matter, a case that can not leave a record must be very important, important enough to threaten the country, but he can't say it out.As for whether grandpa can get in touch with it, he believes that grandpa probably knows a little bit, maybe not too much.Then there is only one person who knows best, and that is the current Holy Majesty.There is another person who knows best, that is, the person who caused the murder.Unfortunately, no one knows who caused the murder?
Those officers and soldiers who went to Zhang's house all died inexplicably later, leaving no one alive.

"My son... can I... can I beg the old prince..." Zhang asked tremblingly, she really wanted to know what happened back then, she hoped that the Zhang family could be rehabilitated and their glory restored.

Xiao Yu was in a dilemma, he regretted telling his grandpa, he had to go to grandpa, he suddenly realized.

If grandpa knew about this, it would be an earth-shattering event, and I am afraid he would not have told Mrs. Zhang.

Seeing Zhang's begging eyes, Xiao Yu said hard-heartedly, "Auntie, it's not that I don't want to beg, but this matter is very strange, even if Grandpa knows and tells you, do you know what you will face? "

Listening to Xiao Yu's words, Yi Xue immediately understood that this event might not be less than the event that shook the Tang Dynasty like Xi Wang's breakfast, and it might be even worse.If this is the case, even if you know it, it will only bring disaster to yourself.

"Mother, don't embarrass the son, if grandpa and grandma are spirits in the sky, they will protect us." Yi Xue could only comfort her, hugging her nervously.

Knowing that Xiao Yu would not agree to her request, Mrs. Zhang nodded with tears in her eyes, and pulled Yi Xue away.

Xiao Yu frowned, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll figure it out for you..."

Mrs. Zhang paused, then dragged Yi Xue away silently.When she arrived at the house, Mrs. Zhang cried for a long time, and then fell asleep unconsciously.Yi Xue sighed, and stayed with her mother for an hour without saying a word, not knowing what her mother would be like, but it's a pity that this is not Fuyuan, so she can't do whatever she wants, otherwise she must cook something delicious for her.

When it was almost evening, Yi Xue had to go to find Xiao Yu. She came to the capital. She was not just here for sightseeing, nor was she here to hide from her enemies. She still had a lot of things to do.Don't lose the meaning of being a human being just because of danger.She is not a caged bird, so she cannot always be kept in a cage.

Xiao Yu didn't know what he was busy with, so he came out after a while.

"Yixue, what's the matter?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile, "Is your mother okay?"

Without waiting for Yi Xue to speak, Xiao Yu asked two questions in succession, leaving Yi Xue unable to answer, so she could only say, "My mother is fine, Shizi, I want to go to Li's house"

"The Li family?" Xiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered the purpose of Yi Xue's visit this time. She was only thinking about how to protect this family, but forgot that Yi Xue came to the capital to do business.

"I'll send someone to invite you, you don't have to go there, wait for them to come tomorrow," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Yixue was overjoyed immediately, if he was here to discuss business with the Li family, it would be just taking advantage, on the one hand, the Li family would definitely think that he was worth a lot, on the other hand, he would not dare to have any other bad intentions towards him immediately .

"Thank you, son," Yi Xue hurriedly thanked her.

The corner of Xiao Yu's mouth twitched, and then he said softly, "These days, my mouth is quiet, Yi Xue, do you want to reward my stomach?"

Seeing Xiao Yu's expression of repaying all kindness, Yi Xue secretly thought, this guy is really vindictive.However, this is also a good opportunity, just to please the prince and concubine, and in the future, he will rely on the Xiao family to give him convenience in the capital.After understanding this section, Yi Xue smiled.

Xiao Yu looked at Yi Xue's inexplicable smile, and immediately realized something, this girl really doesn't forget to calculate, forget it, as long as my stomach is comfortable, do whatever you want.

Yi Xue is very busy, pulling Qiushui and Tianji to work in the kitchen. She wants to make some special things, and she has prepared some ingredients in the car, just because they are afraid that they will not be used to eating them in the capital. It's not very useful, but it's just now.

Xiao Yu was very satisfied. He was used to Fuyuan's food, so he looked forward to it.

The old concubine and the old prince were also very surprised when they heard that Yi Xue was cooking. The two of them had heard about the grandson's mention of Fuyuan Restaurant in Kao City.

The old concubine pulled Zhang to talk, and the old prince hid in the study and played chess with Xiao Yu.The old prince was very surprised when he saw it, and after Xiao Yu explained it, he immediately fell in love with this face-to-face game of wisdom, so the two played several games, and the old prince knew how to play it. fight together.

"Yixue, this girl is really smart." The old concubine had no intention of looking down on the Zhang family, she spoke very peacefully, as if she was talking about her own children.

Mrs. Zhang was still a little apprehensive at first, for fear that those words would make the old princess unhappy, but gradually, her worries subsided, and she talked with the princess every sentence.

"I've heard that Yixue made a three-character classic. I read it. It's really good. Such knowledge at such a young age is a real genius," said the old concubine with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang picked up the tea and handed it to the old concubine, and said modestly, "The old concubine has won the prize, and that girl played by herself. I didn't expect to be valued by the sage. This is her blessing."

The old concubine looked at Mrs. Zhang and smiled slightly, "You are a mother who educates the children well. There are other things about this girl, and she has been praised by the Holy One. Her blessings will not stop there in the future."

Mrs. Zhang was flattered and said, "Who dares to let the Holy One bother, we are already content with our current life."

The old concubine saw that Mrs. Zhang did not seem to be lying, and said seriously, "You don't have to be modest, I can see that you are not as proud as Yi Xue, and our Xiao family may have to rely on your family in the future."

Mrs. Zhang was dumbfounded, what does this mean?With our family?Our family is just a farmer, with only a few hundred mu of land planted, so we have no status.

Of course, Yi Xue didn't tell Zhang about the food, which was decreed by the Holy Majesty to be a secret, and the old prince was the first to benefit from this matter.If the food meets His Majesty's expectations, I am afraid that the Xiao family will become the heroes of the era for the benefit of mankind, and the Yi Xue family can also be famous through the ages.

The old concubine didn't go any further. This kind of topic involved too much. As she spoke, her eyes lit up, and before the servant girl came in, she said, "Let's go, let's see what delicious food this girl has cooked up."
