A Thousand Hills

Chapter 318

The case of Marquis Nan'an being poisoned to death starts trial.

Not many people in the court paid attention to the case, even the fifth prince would inquire about the progress of the case from time to time.

Xie Moru still asked the fifth prince to take a rest day to entertain Xie Bai and Princess Yi'an, and the fifth prince naturally agreed.Don't say that you have time, even if you don't have time, you have to make time.

Seeing Xie Bai, the second uncle of the Yue family, the fifth prince felt happy from the bottom of his heart. Not only was his wife and mother's fighting spirit able to help him a lot, but also compared with his father's father-in-law's and uncle's family Cheng'en Gongfu. The prince felt that his family of wives was really good.

Xie Moru has long had a good relationship with Xie Bai, the second uncle, and Xie Mochun has been raised in the Min Palace for a few years, Princess Yi'an is also very grateful to Xie Moru.Princess Yi'an is not what she looked like when she first married Xie Bai. Time flies, and Princess Yi'an is in her early forties. However, she thinks her life is smooth and the relationship between husband and wife is good. Princess Yi'an also pays attention to maintenance. Not bad thirty people.Although Princess Yi'an and Xie Bai have been in Xining Prefecture all these years, they have not lost contact with Xie Moru, and the two families exchange annual gifts every year.Later, Xie Mochun raised her at Xie Moru's place, and Xie Moru often asked her little cousin to write family letters and send them to Xining Prefecture, so as not to alienate her from her parents.Of course, the little cousins ​​inevitably brought a few letters of their own.

Therefore, Princess Yi'an is visiting with her family today.

Xie Moru also informed the children at home in advance not to go out today, as relatives will come over.Xie Mochun has been raised in the Prince of Fujian's mansion for the past few years. Although she is the oldest, she is the youngest. The children all take care of her. Knowing that Princess Yi'an and Xie Concubine are coming, they are all waiting at home.

The children met Xie Bai and Princess Yi'an, and Princess Yi'an gave each of them a generous meeting gift. The children thanked them politely, and Xie Moru asked them to go outside to talk with Xie Chi's brothers and sisters.

Princess Yi'an's temperament is also very different from the previous one, gentle but with a little brightness, no longer the slightly hesitant newlywed little princess in the past.I think so, seeing that Princess Yi'an is also going to be a mother-in-law.Princess Yi'an smiled, "Maybe it's still the same as before."

Xie Moru smiled, "I will be a mother-in-law soon, how can it be the same as before."

Princess Yi'an laughed straight, and said to Xie Bai, "Look, you dare to say you are old in front of us."

Xie Bo said to the fifth prince, "It's like this in a woman's house. She looks in the mirror endlessly every day, and even a wrinkle on her face will go on for days. I'm going out with the princess now, and people say I look like her uncle."

Princess Yi'an laughed at her husband, "It's becoming more and more serious."

"It's not serious, it can't be more serious." The old couple flirted.Xie Mo Ruxin lowered his jaw, a capable man is like his second uncle, Princess Yi'an's quality is ordinary, thanks to his second uncle's willingness to work hard, he helped Princess Yi'an out.Now that the husband and wife are harmonious, Princess Yi'an is not what it used to be.Xie Moru was also happy for them, and said with a smile, "I heard that the folk customs of Xiningguan are different from the imperial capital, and it is true."

Princess Yi'an smiled, "Don't laugh, the place at Xining Pass is indeed different. When I first went there, I was so unaccustomed to it. In our imperial capital, few ladies go out. In Xining Pass, there are often girls riding horses. Hunting. I used to know how to ride a horse in the imperial capital, and I also learned to go to Xiningguan." When it comes to learning to ride a horse, Princess Yi'an can't help being sweet at this age.

Xie Moru couldn't help asking, "So the princess can also hunt?"

Princess Yi'an waved her hands again and again, "I can't hunt, I can only draw a small bow, and I can't get my head right. Mostly I go to eat barbecue."

Xie Moru said, "Second uncle is very good at barbecue."

Princess Yi'an smiled, "When we first got married, I thought that Tanhualang must be a gentleman, but I later realized that he is quite versatile."

Xie Bai smiled and said, "Why don't you be worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Princess Yi'an laughed again, and the Fifth Prince felt that if the couple continued to show off their love, he would be blinded by the show.Not to be outdone, the fifth prince said to Xie Bai, "Uncle, is this beard newly trimmed?"

Princess Yi'an said, "Isn't that right? I haven't been back to the imperial capital for a few years now. I don't want to come back this time. There is a new fashion. The beards on the men's chins are all shaved clean, leaving only the flicker on the lips. At first I thought It’s weird, but it’s refreshing after watching it for a long time.”

Complacent, the fifth prince thought to himself, this is a new beard style that my wife designed for me. I don't know how to learn it slowly, so that the emperor has this kind of beard everywhere.The Fifth Prince said, "Nowadays everyone likes this kind of beard, even Emperor Su Buyu changed the same beard."

Speaking of Su Buyu, Princess Yi'an laughed, "Poor talented Su, I heard that he was knocked unconscious when he entered the city."

Xie Moru also couldn't help laughing, "It is said that it is a fruit shop, and the owner's wife loves to listen to Su Caizi's play. I heard that he is back, and everyone else is throwing sachets and handkerchiefs. The owner's wife is a bold person. A Grapefruit went over and knocked Su Caizi unconscious. Afterwards, the officers and soldiers of the imperial capital went to investigate, but there was nothing they could do, so they instructed the shopkeeper to give up."

Xie Bai laughed, "Su Mei people are used to showing off."

The Fifth Prince quickly inquired, "Genius Su is also known as Su Meiren?"

Xie Bai said, "When he was young, he was outstanding in appearance. When we went to the flower house to drink together, those girls would fight because of him. We had to spend money on the drinks and girls, and he was all girls. So, everyone gave He takes a nickname."

The fifth prince listened to Zhile, nodded and said, "Yisu's appearance is really worthy of the word 'beauty'."

The two families saw each other after a long time, and it was nothing more than a chat. After lunch at the Prince of Fujian's Mansion, Princess Yi'an Xie Bai and his family left.The Fifth Prince Xie Moru took the children to the door. Princess Yi'an rode with her husband and said with a smile, "In these years, I have actually been a little worried about Mo Ru. She has a very strong temper and is good in everything, but one , I don’t have a son after all. Now that I see the relationship between Mo Ru and Lao Wu, I feel relieved.”

Xie Bai said, "The matter of the child is also God's will. His Highness Fifth is a man of courtesy."

Princess Yi'an smiled, "Speaking of which, I watched the princes grow up. I really didn't expect the fifth son to be what he is today."

Xie Bai smiled, "Arranging the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world."

Princess Yi'an knew her husband's intentions, and whispered to her husband, "Speaking of which, Concubine Su has always been low-key in the palace, and she is also weak. This vision is really good." Xie Moru has a lot of contacts, Xie Moru is a famous and powerful person, those who don't know her only say that she has a strong temper, and she will not give up when she meets Queen Mother Hu.However, those who have dealt with Xie Moru know Xie Moru's methods. Xie Moru was able to deal with the confidant of Queen Mother Hu through Princess Yi'an when he was still in his boudoir.In these years, Xie Moru didn't see Xie Moru using these methods again, but the fifth prince has made great achievements many times, and today he is able to compete with the East Palace. Princess Yi'an is not stupid, thinking in her heart, the fifth prince must have Xie Moru's help.

Shepherd patted his wife's hand.

The fifth prince was also talking about Princess Xie Bai Yi'an and his wife with his wife, and said with a smile, "Aunt Yi'an and uncle are really close."

Xie Moru smiled, "A person who understands life can always live a good life."

The Fifth Prince said, "When we are introduced, when we choose a son-in-law, Sister Xin has to follow Uncle's way of finding him." Of course Xie Bai has the ability on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can have a relationship with his wife.Among the princesses in the imperial capital, except for Princess Wenkang, I am afraid that none of them will live up to Princess Yi'an.Of course, Sister Changtai's life is also good, and Li Xuan is also known for his good temper.However, Li Xuan's temperament is gentle and elegant. Compared with Xie Bo, he is less transparent and open-minded. From the comfortable and sweet smile on Princess Yi'an's face, one can tell how good life is.

Xie Bai is indeed very popular in the royal family. Regardless of the years he has been away, Princess Yi'an was warmly welcomed by the Queen Mother Hu when she came back. Princess Yi'an was not only raised by the Queen Mother, but also her mother is the Queen Mother Hu The sister of her compatriots, Princess Yi'an had to call Queen Mother Hu an aunt.The close relationship between the two can be imagined.Life is good or bad, not what people say, but everyone can see it by looking at it.What the fifth prince can see, Empress Dowager Hu and Emperor Mu Yuan can see.Even Princess Wenkang said privately to her emperor's elder brother, "It was really good to refer to Yi'an to marry Xie's family back then."

Emperor Mu Yuan was also very satisfied with Xie Bai, not to mention his hard work in the past few years. The key point is that, as a son-in-law, he also took good care of the princess.Princess Yi'an was away, and it was a place like Xining Pass, the environment couldn't be compared with the imperial capital, but when Princess Yi'an came back, her demeanor, manner, and speech didn't mean to suffer at all.Emperor Mu Yuan was also happy to see a cousin in high spirits instead of a princess with a sad face.Emperor Mu Yuan's heart was smooth, and he was still in the mood to tease his sister, "I also chose your marriage back then."

Princess Wenkang stood up and smiled, "I would like to thank you, brother." She and Marquis Yong'an are also doing well, otherwise they would not have given birth to three sons.

Emperor Mu Yuan was also quite satisfied with his vision, except, um, the eldest daughter and the eldest son-in-law... Thinking of the dispirited Wu family, Emperor Mu Yuan didn't know what the Ministry of Criminal Justice could get out of the trial.

Su Buyu is a celebrity in the imperial capital, not only because of the fact that he was almost hit with a concussion as soon as he entered the imperial capital, but also when he just entered the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, together with the three divisions of Dali Temple and Yushitai, was poisoned to kill Nan'anhou. case, Su Buyu is participating in it.

Su Buyu is a foreign official who was transferred to the imperial capital. Fortunately, he has been an official for a long time. It's not his turn either.As soon as the trial of the case started, Li Jun complained to the prince, "Su Buyu is really slippery."

The crown prince sighed, and said, "If he is taken advantage of, Prime Minister Su probably won't let him come to the Ministry of Punishment to wade through this muddy water."

The crown prince has never had any dealings with Su Buyu, but the crown prince is well aware of Su's reluctance.

Li Jun wants to catch Su Buyu, but Su Buyu is not stupid, he is a servant, although he is new to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but he has an old man who is the chief assistant, and he also went to Xie's house to consult Xie Shangshu, so everyone The documents in his hands are rigorous and bright everywhere.Of course, according to Su Buyu's rank, he still can't affect the trial process and the predicted ending.

Su Buyu quietly mentioned it to Xie Bo, "Under the three trees, why can't you confess? Master Shangshu is just putting this matter on Jingjiang's head."

Xie Bai said, "It's not wrong to blame Jingjiang, but Li Shangshu's methods are not good for people to know."

Su Buyu nodded slightly.

So, half a month later, among the 58 princes and grandchildren of Jingjiang, only five survived, and two of them were frightened mad.Even outside, Princess Jingjiang and Mu Qilang, who had already been pardoned by Emperor Mu Yuan, committed suicide by taking poison on the same day. Before the trial of the third division was over, Emperor Mu Yuan was already furious!
