Riding the Pheonix Chapter 756: Fairness

? Ah Xuan led the people to guard the door, while Mingwei took Duofu back first.

Her body is still weak and the day has been tiring.

Cao Yong went to deal with the aftermath.

Only Yang Shu and Cao Xian were left in the room talking secretly.

"Before the eldest princess died, I went to visit the two of them in another courtyard." Cao Xian's voice was low, "At that time, the eldest princess was a little absent-minded. When I left, she seemed to have made up her mind and told her to do that. ."

What he said was, if possible, lend a hand to help Yang Shu.

"But the eldest princess also said that if it is not necessary, never reach out easily. Otherwise, our family will be implicated."

Yang Shu nodded: "Grandma is such a kind person. Even if she is desperate, she will still consider others."

Cao Xian smiled bitterly: "If the eldest princess had told her at that time, I would have tried my best to help them escape from the capital."

Yang Shu stared at him: "So the old general is convinced that my grandmother was harmed?"

Cao Xian nodded affirmatively: "Of course. After the eldest princess left, I came to visit the old marquis again. The old marquis called me to the martial arts hall, looked at His Highness practicing marksmanship inside, and said, the eldest princess is the best You are the one who is worried. Not long after, the old Marquis also went."

Yang Shu couldn't help clenching his fists and asked him: "What else does the old general know?

"I am timid and know that there must be a reason for the death of the two of them. However, with the status of the eldest princess, how many people can make them so afraid. For eight years, I have not dared to say a word, only buried In my heart, I quietly wait and see."

Speaking of this, Cao Xian lowered his voice: "Your Majesty has been to the other courtyard before, and I happened to leave not long ago when I went there. Almost no one knew about this. It was the old man who saw tea on the table and asked. The Marquis said it was Duke Wen."

Now when this Duke Wen was still the heir apparent, he had a very good relationship with the emperor. He didn't have much ability, but he also had good sense. After the emperor ascended to the throne, he didn't interfere blindly. Instead, he took advantage of the emperor's influence to eat, drink and have fun, and carried concubines into the house one by one. Probably because he had too much fun, he was so weak in his early forties that he could only stay at home to recuperate.

Wen Guogong has little contact with the eldest princess, so how could he drag his weak body to visit the eldest princess in another courtyard? It can only be the emperor who takes his name.

This is not the first time. When they were young, they often did this kind of thing. Sometimes King Zhao was inconvenient to tell his identity, so he pretended to be the prince of Duke Wen.

Cao Xian looked at him: "Your Highness, I am incompetent and I only know so much. Please also ask Your Highness to find the murderer and redress the injustice for the eldest princess!"

Yang Shu understood the meaning of his words, nodded, and said solemnly: "You don't need to talk about this, I will definitely seek justice for my grandmother!"

……

After Yang Shu left, Cao Xian carefully considered his words and wrote a memorial of apology himself.

Cao Yong came in: "Father."

Cao Xian didn’t even raise his head: “What?”

"If we take this step, there will be no turning back for our family."

Cao Xian said calmly: "What are you worried about?"

"For so many years, we have been doing nothing, and we have been mixed up with our qualifications until now, and now we have a big one, my child... I feel a little guilty."

Cao Xian smiled and continued to write the report: "What are you talking about? What your two highnesses look like, you saw it with your own eyes. Who will win, do you need to say? Believe me, father, we will definitely make the right bet. ”

Cao Yong was uneasy: "The King of Yue is naturally much stronger than King An, but the one in Jingli..."

The old one is not dead yet! After being the emperor for more than 20 years, his power is still there!

"This kind of thing depends on fate." Cao Xian said, "For example, at the beginning, who would have thought that none of the three princes would succeed, but the least conspicuous one would succeed? We have done everything, ask our minds No shame, the rest depends on fate."

"Yes..."

……

Wang An had been hanging out in the city for several days. Hearing that Ming Wei had woken up, he finally deigned and came to see them.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, can you live in such a small yard?"

He came in and turned around twice, then he was done.

"Your Highness Prince An, you have tea." A Xuan ran out of the kitchen.

Wang An looked at him with sympathy on his face: "Axuan, you are already at level 4, right? Are you actually lighting a fire here?"

Ah Xuan corrected: "I am from the fourth rank when I return to His Highness King An. Burning a fire is nothing, serving His Highness is what I should do."

Wang An touched a handful of melon seeds and ate them: "He still needs someone to light the fire? It's not hypocritical. I told him that I have rented a big house in the city. You can live in it, but you have to live here. Look at it. It's pathetic, just the five of you are so full that everyone else has to live outside."

A Xuan looked dumb and replied: "This yard was rented by Miss Ming."

Wang An immediately silenced himself, spat out the melon seed shells, and lightly slapped himself in the mouth: "I just said it casually, I didn't mean anything else."

Yang Shu came out of the room: "You are the only one who talks a lot. Didn't you eat enough before going out?"

Wang An was unhappy: "I said it was no longer interesting, but you still hold on to me?"

Yang Shu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I went too far." He sat down and asked him, "Why are you free today?"

"Come and see how my nephew-in-law is doing!" King An said, "But looking at your cheerful face, she must be doing well."

Just as he was talking, Mingwei brought out the fruit plate and said, "Your Highness, King An, I apologize for the poor hospitality."

Wang An immediately reached out and took it, and said attentively: "How can I trouble you? Sit down, sit down."

Then ask for help.

After finally finishing the gossip, King An asked: "Why did you wrap your hand? When did you get injured again?"

Yang Shu threw out a gold medal.

Wang An glanced at it twice: "Isn't this from the Imperial City Department? Do you still keep it? Wait..."

The gold medal is given by the emperor and can only be obtained by secret agents. Even if Yang Shu was in charge of the Imperial City Department, he would not be able to intercept it privately.

Let's put it this way...

Wang An jumped up in fright: "You...you killed the secret agent of the Imperial City Department?!"

"Yes!"

"When did it happen?"

"Just today."

"..."

After a long while, King An sat down, drank two cups of tea in silence, and lowered his voice: "Father, he... did something to you? How is this possible? Why?"

His voice was trembling. Although he knew that the emperor was wary of Yang Shu, he never expected that he would be wary to this extent.

"Why do you think it is?" Yang Shu smiled~IndoMTL.com~ took the gold medal in his hand and played with it.

Wang An said weakly: "Don't take it to heart and bear with it a little longer, okay? Anyway, I promise you that I will never fight with you..."

He was extremely conflicted. On the one hand, I am extremely happy to throw the blame for the throne away. On the one hand, he had to stand by the emperor's side, knowing that the emperor was doing it for him.

The relationship between father and son cannot be erased after all. Even if he didn't agree with the emperor's way of doing things, this was still his father.

Yang Shu was silent for a long time before saying: "I only want to protect myself and seek justice."

King An thought he had convinced him and felt at ease.

But he didn't know that Yang Shu showed a mocking expression when he couldn't see it.

We have reached this point, how can we protect ourselves without defeating the other party? The family was destroyed, even the grandparents who raised him lost their lives, and even his mother risked her life to protect him. How can it be fair without revenge?
