Chapter 1087: Advancing
When everyone thought that Wang Xian was in a catastrophe and must be in fear all day long, Uncle Zhongyong's mansion was peaceful. Gu Xiaolian's condition improved, which made Wang Xian deeply encouraged, and he devoted all his energy to the work of helping her regain consciousness.
As for the hustle and bustle of the outside world, Wang Xian didn't care. Because he knows very well that whether the hundreds of officials in the court are like snow, or asking for his life, it is useless, and what can really decide his life and death is not public opinion at all, not even the emperor's thoughts, but his own strength......
When the eunuch who delivered the decree came to the mansion and informed him to participate in the next day's court meeting, Wang Xian was combing Gu Xiaolian's hair, and the jade comb passed smoothly through the waterfall-like hair, without any hindrance.
The eunuch saw Wang Xian sitting in the flower pavilion combing the hair of an expressionless beauty, without the slightest intention of getting up, so he had to remind: "Uncle, please accept the order." ”
"Hmm." Wang Xian only nodded, and swayed a flower on Gu Xiaolian's head, without even looking at the eunuch.
"This is the oracle of the Holy One." The eunuch was a little confused.
"That's it, I'll listen." Wang Xian was still unhurried.
"This ......" The eunuch was dumbfounded, he had never seen such a fanatic who despised the king, and it took a while to remember that the authority of the emperor must be maintained, and he said inwardly: "Uncle Zhongyong, you are too much!" Such neglect of the emperor's holy decree is a crime of deception! ”
"So what, it's not bad." Wang Xian carefully coiled Gu Xiaolian's hair, and when he saw that there were still a few strands of hair leaking out, he couldn't help but shake his head in frustration, and then took another step to spread out the hair and comb it again.
The eunuch was hung there, he had never encountered such a situation, and the whole person was stupid. Dai Hua on the side pushed the eunuch: "If you have something, say it quickly, get out of it if you have nothing to do!" ”
The eunuch's face turned pale for a while, and finally he said in a muffled voice: "There is a will, and the loyal and brave uncle must attend tomorrow morning." ”
"Got it." Wang Xian nodded, and continued to concentrate on combing Gu Xiaolian's hair.
"Hey!" The eunuch stomped his feet away, and when he returned, he naturally complained to his boss about Wang Xian's situation. But when the boss heard this, he only said that the house was going to be finished tomorrow, so let him go rampantly...... I even suppressed this matter......
The next day.
Dai Hua and the others didn't close their eyes all night, and they got up just after midnight and gathered outside Wang Xian's room.
Wang Xian also stayed awake all night, and sat in front of Gu Xiaolian's bed all the time. I don't know if Gu Xiaolian has a sense of it, she is not very peaceful all night, and she must hold her hand in Wang Xian to calm down. As long as Wang Xian took his hand away, Gu Xiaolian would look pained, and her whole body trembled slightly......
Wang Xian didn't know whether Gu Xiaolian's current situation was good or bad, so he could only hold her hand tightly, gently stroke her hair, and hum an out-of-tune song in his mouth......
Under the lamp, Wang Xian looked at Gu Xiaolian's face, recalled his ups and downs over the years, and missed his wife and children and parents who were far away in Jinan and Nanjing...... Before he knew it, when he arrived at Yin, he heard the movement of a group of subordinates outside, he came back to his senses from his thoughts, and kissed Gu Xiaolian deeply under the forehead, and wanted to withdraw his hand and get up.
only to find that his right hand was grabbed by Gu Xiaolian......
Wang Xian was stunned, and then his eyes moistened: "Xiao Lian, are you worried that I won't be able to come back?" ”
Naturally, Gu Xiaolian would not open her mouth to answer.
"Don't worry, I promise you, I'll be back to you before noon." Wang Xian said softly.
Gu Xiaolian's hand still didn't let go.
"Your family officials have always done what they say, and you have to have confidence in me." Wang Xian could only exert a little force, pulled out his fingers one by one, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I will definitely come back, I will definitely ......"
After speaking, Wang Xian resolutely got up, turned around and walked out of the door.
Behind him, on Gu Xiaolian's cheek, there was clearly a tear, crystal clear .......
Wang Xian pushed open the door and went out, Dai Hua and the others outside the door stood in a circle with solemn expressions, and when they saw him come out, everyone whispered together: "My lord......"
"I don't sleep." Wang Xian looked at them, chuckled and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I'll send you off." Everyone whispered.
"I'm in the court, and I'm not in the court, so there's nothing to give." Wang Xian laughed, but he also knew in his heart that his own departure was no different from going to the Dharma field. He made his way through the crowd, patted his brothers on the shoulders, and then entered the main house.
Inside the main room, the guards had already prepared a wash of water and a new earl's crown dress.
Wang Xian sat down in front of the basin, took the towel presented by Dai Hua, soaked it in warm water, and carefully washed his face. Then he sat up straight and asked Dai Hua to help him comb his hair and put on a black gauze hat.
Dai Hua helped Wang Xian put on it, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, is there anything else you haven't explained?" ”
In front of Dai Hua, Wang Xian did not pretend to be full of confidence, and sighed: "Xiao Lian's situation seems to have improved greatly last night, if I can't come back today, you have to send her to Mrs., with Mrs. to take care of her, there should be a day of recovery." As he spoke, he sighed and said, "Madame's health is not good, and I am really sad to let a patient worry about the patient." ”
"Yes." Dai Hua nodded, and didn't say any nonsense of 'adults must be safe'.
"If I can't come back, the whole family will have to go into exile in the future, please look at the love of our brothers, we must settle them down and then make other plans." Wang Xian looked at Dai Hua and said softly.
"Don't worry, my lord's life belongs to my lord, and no matter what happens in the future, I will protect my lord's family to the end." Dai Hua solemnly promised.
"Thank you, brother." Wang Xian nodded, he knew that since Dai Hua agreed, he would definitely do what he said.
After dressing, Wang Xian went out to get into the sedan chair, and went to the gate of Xiyuan with stars and moons......
Wanzhuyuan in Jinan Prefecture, Lin Qing'er and Lingxiao also stayed awake all night. Although thousands of miles away, Lin Qing'er still clearly realized that today's court meeting would be the moment to decide Wang Xian's fate......
The second daughter sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Wang You, who was sleeping soundly, Lingxiao sighed softly: "It's better to be such a big child, you don't know anything, so you don't have to worry about anything......"
"yes." Lin Qing'er coughed twice and said in a low voice: "Sister, if the officials can't pass today's level, you should go back to Wudang Mountain, don't accompany us to the end of the world......"
"Sister, where is this?" Lingxiao raised his eyebrows, and said with a resolute face: "No matter the ends of the world, I will protect you!" As he spoke, his eyes showed a hint of tenderness and said, "This is what I promised him, and I must do it......"
"Hey, sister, why are you bothered?" Lin Qing'er held Lingxiao's hand and sighed softly: "Your road is still long, and the officials definitely don't want to harm you for the rest of your life......"
"Sister, this is the path I chose myself, I can't complain about him......" Lingxiao said softly but resolutely, and said a little angrily: "But that guy is really not a thing, leaving a family to go to the capital to take risks, is revenge so important?" ”
"Men have things they have to do, and women can't understand or stop them." Lin Qing'er smiled and said, "And I believe that the official will not ignore us." He must have gone to the capital for us......"
"My sister is always looking at him!" Lingxiao pursed his lips.
"Aren't you the same?" Lin Qing'er glanced at Lingxiao with a smile, gently took her hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, he will definitely come back." ”
"Hmm." Lingxiao nodded, she thought the same way......
There was also the emperor in the West Garden who stayed awake all night.
After taking Daoist Hu's elixir, Zhu Di's sleep was significantly less, and he only needed to sleep for two hours a day, so that he could be in good spirits all day. In Zhu Di's view, this is naturally the miracle effect of the elixir, representing his return to youth! Zhu Di was so satisfied with this that he completely ignored the sudden rapid heartbeat, the occasional dizziness, and the bloodshot eyes that were full of blood......
Because the previous health condition was too bad, Zhu Di thought that these small discomforts were just remnants of the previous illness, and they would all disappear as he continued to take the pills......
Last night, Zhu Di went to bed and couldn't sleep for a long time, and his mind was full of pictures of how to beat Wang Xian into the eighteenth layer of hell in the court today. When he tossed and turned ugly on the bed, Zhu Di finally couldn't help but sit up from the dragon bed.
Huang Wei, who was on duty, was immediately alarmed, and when he came in, he saw that the emperor was sitting there in a trance.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Huang Wei asked softly.
"I can't sleep." Zhu Di replied.
"The old slave pressed the emperor's feet, maybe he could fall asleep." Huang Wei said busily.
"No need, except for ****, I always can't sleep well." Zhu Di shook his head.
Seeing that the emperor was about to get out of bed, Huang Wei hurriedly put on his shoes and helped Zhu Di to stand up.
Supporting Huang Wei, Zhu Di walked to the table outside, on which was an edict prepared by the cabinet yesterday, and the content on it was that Wang Xian would be sent to prison for questioning!
With the light on, Zhu Di read the edict again, shook his head and said, "The tone is too light, it's too cheap for him!" "'He' is naturally referring to Wang Xian. Saying that, the emperor snorted coldly and said, "It's all at this time, what are they worried about, Yang Shiqi?" ”
"Your Majesty, do you want the bachelor on duty to rewrite this will?" Huang asked.
"Don't work for them," Zhu Di snorted, "I said you wrote." ”
"Yes." Huang Wei responded, hurriedly picked up the pen, hung his wrist on a blank edict, and then looked at the emperor with bated breath.
"Wang Xian's behavior has always been rebellious, and he was very damned for interfering in the dispute between the crown prince and dividing my flesh and blood in the past. However, God has the virtue of a good life, and I remember his long-cherished talent, and hope that he will change his mistakes and contribute to the country, so that his governor Jinyiwei will be crowned an earl, and he will put his heart in his heart. However, in the past three years, his behavior has become more and more perverse, repeatedly illegal and selfish, treacherous, arrogant and rebellious, and harboring evil intentions, which has become more and more serious! The ministers impeached and discussed, Shibo accumulated, I remembered his small merits, and tolerated it at all ends, but I didn't expect this fang to be lawless, dare to form a coalition with his henchmen, collude with the White Lotus demons, murder my descendants, cause chaos to my society, kill my people, and covet ancestral artifacts! This fang is isolated from the sky, from me, and must not be left in the heaven and earth, for my dynasty! Now he will be executed and exterminated by the nine clans, in order to set an example of evil and serve as a warning for all generations! ”
