Chapter 57

The Xu family was convicted very quickly. Within three days, the Xu family, Zhongyi Marquis and two legitimate sons, were all imprisoned in Dali Temple. The Zhongyi Marquis was demoted to the position, one of the two legitimate sons lost his official position, and the other, who had a lawsuit for life, was sentenced to exile in Hainan. When everyone did not react, the Xu family was in danger.

Although all this came out strangely and quickly, anyone with a discerning eye could still see that it was because the Xu family offended King Jing Zhu Qi.

As for why their family offended King Jing, no one knows.

After being pregnant for five months, Xu Wan's lower abdomen was already bulging. She ignored her pregnancy and ran quickly in the corridor with her skirt, her face full of anxiety.

The girl behind her followed her and shouted: "Mrs. Young lady, stop quickly, carefully the fetus in her belly!"

Xu Wan turned a deaf ear, and there was Fu Ting's study door ahead. She pushed the door open and ran in.

Fu Ting was reading a book in the study room, and he raised his head when he heard the sound.

He was wearing a homely dark blue straight body, thin and his lips were slightly pursed. After seeing Xu Wan who couldn't help but breathe, he lowered his head and said lightly: "What are you doing in a hurry?"

Xu Wan did not speak, but suddenly bent her knees in front of him.

"A Ting, my father, brother and sister..." Xu Wan said, tears flowing out, "If something happens to my family, you must help me! My father is old, how can he withstand being demoted to the position? My elder brother is still young, so how can he be exiled to Hainan? If he goes, it will be the same as if he is dead!"

"You should stay in the room and give birth to a baby, why run around?" Fu Ting just said lightly. He said to the girl who caught up with him outside, "Take the young lady back and keep it in the room, and don't let the young lady come out."

"Fu Ting!" Xu Wan couldn't help it. She didn't want the mothers to pull her, but continued to beg, "My Xu family has no choice but to rely on me anymore. My sister is still young. Only I can save the Xu family. I can't sit idly by and watch!"

Seeing her tears on her face, Fu Ting finally remembered the experience of the two growing up together before, and said, "Who can save the Xu family now? They have offended King Jing? Do you think that what Prince Jing wants to do can stop him? Don't waste your time. Your father and brother are fine, just find a place to live in peace."

"No... You go and ask Your Highness the Crown Prince. He has always been incompatible with King Jing. He will be willing to help the Xu family!" Xu Wan stepped forward and grabbed his hand. "I serve you meticulously on weekdays. Even if you don't care about my face, but also for the sake of the child in my belly..."

When Fu Ting heard this, he brushed her hand away and pulled back his hand.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has never spoken, so he would not have spread this muddy water. And..." He sneered, half-squatted down, and looked at Xu Wan with cold eyes, "You know more than me how the child in his belly came from. So, there is no need to say anything to the child - you are not worthy."

Xu Wan looked at his cold face, which was still what she loved normally, and she looked so indifferent and polite, and tears slid down her cheeks.

She knew that he had never loved her, and that all this was forced by her. But what was wrong with her?

She loved him and was willing to do housework for him and have children. Although this child was drunk one day by her, she got it unintentionally. When she knew she was pregnant, she was very happy and thought she would be able to tie him up from now on.

But at this moment she knew that he had not changed at all, and was still as ruthless as before.

Fu Ting seemed not to want to see her crying, so he stood up and prepared to leave, and stepped out of the door.

"Fu Ting!" Xu Wan said behind him, "She is dead, do you know?"

Fu Ting's back froze. In fact, the two had never formally discussed this topic. Xu Wan had always been very shirkable. There was another person between them.

"You hate my Xu family that harmed her, but you never thought about it. Didn't your father harm her? Didn't the prince harm her? Why are you the only one who treats me like this? It's just because of your cowardice!" Xu Wan sneered, "If you really love her so much, why don't you help her avenge?"

Fu Ting was silent for a long time, but did not answer, just said, "Send the young lady back to her room to rest."

After saying that, he quickly walked out of the study door.

Spring returns to the earth, March is warm. The begonias in the West Mansion outside the corridor are in full bloom.

Fu Ting looked at the blooming begonia and didn't know what he was thinking for a moment. Until someone stood behind him, clasped his fists and whispered: "Sir."

But Fu Ting did not turn around and just asked, "What's wrong?"

"The spy who stayed in Xining Guard replied that Xiao Feng, the general of Xining Guard, secretly met several generals who had passed by Ningxia Guard."

Fu Ting frowned slightly and said, "He is a military general. There is nothing wrong with seeing a few military generals. What's wrong? What's wrong?"

The subordinate hesitated for a moment before saying, "You have given instructions. If Xiao Feng starts to get up every morning and learn martial arts and read books, he will come back to report to you. After he met these generals, he will be a little different as you said."

When Fu Ting heard this, his hands couldn't help trembling, and then he quickly clenched his hands tightly and returned to his indifferent tone: "Okay, I understand. Don't tell anyone about this, and tell the person who stayed by him, no matter what he wants, he must find him."

The subordinates took the order and left. Fu Ting stood in front of the crabapple tree, unsure.

In fact, although Xiao Feng was let go and exiled to the border before, he had no will to survive. If it weren't for Xiao Lingshan's staying in the palace, he might have died long ago. After all, the people closest to him were gone.

Fu Ting has actually been observing.

Others may think that he is a civil servant and an insignificant minion around the prince. But in fact, no one knows that he knows much more than others imagine. The Xiao family is definitely not so easy to defeat, and there must be power that others don’t know.

Xiao Feng is the only direct descendant of the Xiao family. If he recovered his will to survive, would he mean that what he wanted to do?

And it's at this critical moment.

For some reason, Fu Ting felt a trace of unusual aura.

It seemed as if there was a faint force, and there was someone behind it, pushing the matter forward.

He pressed his left hand tightly. If this is true, it would be better. He carefully protected him.

The storm is coming and the wind fills the building.

Yuan Jin was screamed by the girl early this day.

Zhu Qian was going to take her to the garden today. He was busy all these days when he got married, and he had never taken her to see the scenery on Prince Jing's mansion.

Although Yuan Jin was not interested in seeing any scenery.

The girls immediately served Yuan Jin and stood up, afraid that Zhu Qian would wait for her, so Yuan Jin asked the girl to comb a simple bun, but it was troublesome for the woman to wash. As a result, when she walked out, Zhu Qian was still waiting for tea. He came very early.

"Your Highness has been waiting for a long time." Yuan Jin bent his lower body and said.

Zhu Qi put down the teacup, smiled and said, "It's okay, I've only been waiting for that half an hour."

...His tone is obviously hampered.

"Then let's go quickly, the sun will be high in a while." Yuan Jin said. She had to go back to Dingguo's Mansion in the afternoon. Cui and the others felt that she was bored in Prince Jing's Mansion all day, so they asked her to go back and take charge of Xue Yuanzhen's marriage together.

She had already lifted her feet and walked out, but Zhu Qi's voice came from behind: "Come back."

Yuan Jin turned around and said with a smile: "What's wrong with Your Highness? I'm just afraid that going to the garden will delay Your Highness's time, so I thought to get faster."

Zhu Qiong curled his lips and said that he was walking in the yard and not being tortured. What's so fast?

He pointed to the breakfast on the small table and said slowly, "Come here, eat breakfast."

Yuan Jin could only sit down. It must have been just when she was washing, so he asked someone to prepare the yellow rice date cake, shredded pork, shredded snow vegetable rolls, a basket of steaming longan buns, sugar snowflake cake, four kinds of assorted pickles, cut Taizhou salted duck eggs, and a bowl of shredded eel noodles.

The Taizhou salted duck egg is the most unique, with an orange-red color, oily and moisturized sand and loosely embedded in the white jade-like protein of mutton fat. She is not hungry, and she is hungry even if she sees it.

In addition, Zhu Qi stared at her and would not let her go without eating. She could only pick up chopsticks and start eating breakfast.

Zhu Qi saw that she had few other moves, but she ate one and a half pieces of salted duck eggs. This duck egg was actually a tribute, and was given to him by the prefect of Yangzhou. Since she liked it, she asked Li Ling to ask for more.

After she finished eating, Zhu Qian stood up and said, "You are behind me."

He took her out. Many wrinkled crabapple plants were planted in the mansion. The crabapple flowers were blooming, making the spring day look particularly beautiful. Yuan Jin saw him walking straight in front of him, and did not stop and introduce the meaning of the yard. It seemed that he was not going to visit the yard, but to take her to somewhere. She felt a little strange, where Zhu Qi wanted to take her to.

After leaving the second gate, I was in the outer courtyard, and Yuan Jin recognized that this was the way to the martial arts hall.

The martial arts hall entered from a narrow door and was an extremely wide courtyard with two rows of ginkgo trees planted inside. There were ordnance racks under the eaves and were filled with swords, guns and sticks. However, no one was performing martial arts inside, and it might have been cleared.

Yuan Jin turned his head and asked, "Your Highness, let's not go to the park?"

"Show you something." Zhu Qi said, walking straight through the martial arts field and heading to another Moon Gate. However, there were heavy troops here, and eight guards with embroidered spring swords were guarding the door. When he saw Zhu Qi, he saluted: "Your Highness."

Zhu Qi nodded slightly and signaled Yuan Jin to follow him in. After entering, he found that it was still a yard inside. Zhu Qi took her into the first room. This was a weapon house, with all kinds of □□ and bows hanging on the walls, arranged in order according to the size.

Yuan Jin was attracted when she saw her eyes. She walked closer and watched these various types one by one.

Zhu Qian is indeed worthy of being the King of Northwest Jing. She had never seen such a complete range of styles. Where did he collect them? No wonder he was invincible in marching and fighting, and no one can compare to him.

Seeing that she had forgotten herself, Zhu Qian looked at these curiously and showed a smile. As he expected, ordinary women liked jewelry and jade, but she was a bit fond of them. She didn't like them when she took her to the garden, but her eyes lit up when she saw these.

Seeing that she was watching carefully, Zhu Qi opened the dark cabinet next to her and took out a handful of exquisite □□ from it.

Yuan Jin recognized it as soon as he saw it. This was the first time she had seen in his study. Her eyes lit up and she immediately snatched it from him. Zhu Qi didn't care, but just smiled and snatched it away. Yuan Jin looked at it for a while before he realized that he could not press it: "Your Highness, there are no arrows here?"

She really knew something, knowing that it was because there was no arrow inside.

Zhu Qian said: "The original arrows were poisoned all year round, so I have taken them. Just use some ordinary arrow clusters. I have asked someone to make some bamboo arrows for you, and you can use them after they are done."

Yuan Jin was stunned when he heard Zhu Qi's words: "Your Highness, you want this..."

"I'll play with you, but I can't take it out of the mansion." Zhu Qian said with a smile.

This thing is very dangerous. If it is taken away by someone with a heart, it will be used as an incorrect path.

Yuan Jin's heart was slightly moved, and he still felt a little incredible.

□□ has extremely high lethality and a long range. With □□ equipment, the army can even double its combat power as a whole, which shows how important it is. Such an exquisite □□ must be the secret weapon of Zhuqi’s army, and its structure is absolutely confidential.

He actually gave it to her!

"What's wrong, don't you want it?" Zhu Qian asked with an eyebrow.

"How could it be!" Yuan Jin immediately smiled and denied, and she naturally wanted to. She kept putting □□ behind her so as not to ask her that she wanted to go back.

Zhu Qiong saw her hiding movements and did not scrub her outfit, but asked with a smile: "Can you use it?"

In fact, Yuan Jin knew how to use it, but she was just a woman in the boudoir. Even if she liked to know something, how could she use it? So she shook her head.

"Do you want me to teach you?"

He came to the door, and why Yuan Jin refused to agree? She nodded immediately and pulled his sleeve with a smile: "Your Highness is such a good person!"

"Don't give me ** soup. Since I gave it to you, I won't come back." Zhu Qian seemed to know what she was thinking, and curled her lips and walked out first: "Come with me."

When the two arrived at the martial arts field, the guards were about to set up a drafting target ten feet away.
