The Moon is Full in the Traveling House
Chapter 41: Minister Tong commits suicide
When Xiao Anning was asked this by her sister, her face immediately flushed. She lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes, and replied shyly: "I just think that Brother Su is very powerful..."
Xiao Anya looked at her sister's shy and lovely appearance and couldn't help but smile slightly, but she was secretly thinking in her heart. She naturally knew the hazy and innocent emotions in the hearts of adolescent girls, but as an older sister, she hoped that her sister could face emotional issues with a cautious attitude. However, when her thoughts turned to Su Lun's identity, she couldn't help but feel worried.
Although the Xiao family, as a military family, does not pay too much attention to family background like other famous families, for someone like Mr. Su who has no background and shallow foundation, the future may be full of thorns and it will be difficult to have a smooth sailing! Xiao Anya sincerely hopes that he can work hard and achieve success as soon as possible.
Xiao Anya took a deep breath, and then said to her sister earnestly: "An Ning, you are about to turn fifteen. Mr. Su is a man after all. You must be careful when you are with him, and you must not leave any handle or excuse for others, understand?"
Hearing her sister's words, Xiao Anning's face instantly turned red, and her lips pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction. She argued: "Sister, what are you talking about! Every time I go to see Brother Su, I will bring Xiao Tao with me, and there are servants in the guest house who are dedicated to serving Brother Su." Obviously, she was not convinced by her sister's warning.
"Okay, okay, sister was wrong. Sister has a lot of delicious desserts here. I will ask Bihe to prepare them all for you later to apologize to you, okay?" Xiao Anya pursed her lips and smiled.
"Well, I'm a generous lady, so I won't bother with you." Xiao Anning raised her lips slightly, revealing a bright smile. There was a hint of mischief and complacency in her eyes, as if she was telling the other person: Forget it this time, but don't make the same mistake again next time!
"Yes, our An Ning is the most tolerant and generous!" The elder sister beside him also agreed with a smile. The two smiled at each other, and the laughter echoed in the air, full of warmth and friendship.
At this moment, Xie Tianlin in the East Palace was kneading his nose bridge, trying to relieve the fatigue caused by the high tension for many consecutive days. During this period of time, he has always remained alert and focused. Not only did he have to deal with the aftermath of the private salt incident outside the palace, but he also had to quickly deal with the various affairs that were piled up in the palace. Even a person who is as strong as steel would inevitably feel a little overwhelmed when facing such a heavy task.
Xie Tianlin stood up slowly, intending to take a short break to adjust himself. However, at this moment, a clear and pleasant child's voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Brother, brother, are you in there?" Then, a pink and cute little girl, as delicate as a jade carving, ran over and threw herself into his arms.
The person who came was the third princess Xie Xin'er - Xie Tianlin's biological sister Xie Xin'er, and also the most favored princess in the entire royal family. Looking at the innocent sister in his arms, Xie Tianlin smiled dotingly and said softly: "Xin'er, walk slower in the future. What if you accidentally fall and get hurt?" As he spoke, he gently stroked his sister's hair to comfort her.
The queen mother had an accident when she was pregnant with Xin'er, which caused her to have some congenital defects from the moment she was born. Her body is more fragile and delicate than that of ordinary people. Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, this sister has always been a baby that everyone takes good care of and cares for.
"Royal brother, Xin'er heard that you were attacked by an assassin. Are you injured? Xin'er is really scared!" There was a hint of crying in Xie Xin'er's voice.
"Don't worry, Xin'er. Look, your brother is standing here well!" Seeing his sister's tearful eyes, Xie hurriedly comforted her.
Hearing this, Xie Xin'er burst into laughter, but still said with a choked voice: "I'm glad that my brother is safe and sound. I've already lost my mother, and I can't lose you, my brother!"
"Isn't Xin'er staying at the imperial aunt's residence temporarily? Why did she suddenly return to the palace?" Xie recalled that when he decided to go on a secret visit, the little girl seemed a little depressed. It happened that the imperial aunt came to the palace to visit, and it was close to her birthday, so he asked the imperial aunt to take Xin'er to live in the palace for a while, so that the little girl could go out and relax. But he didn't expect that he had just returned to the palace, and the little girl also came back with him.
"When I heard Marquis Shenwei and the Royal Aunt say that Minister Tong sent people to assassinate my brother, I was horrified and ran back in a hurry without caring about anything else." Xie Xin'er pinched the hem of her skirt tightly, looking nervous.
"My royal brother is fine, but Xin'er, you must not run around in such a hurry like you did today. You are already weak and need to be well taken care of. Later, I will send someone to the Marquis Shenwei's Mansion to inform you, and then I will personally send you back to the palace." Xie Tianlin's tone was particularly gentle.
"Royal brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. Can you go back later~" Xie Xiner began to act coquettishly to her brother.
"Don't worry, Xin'er. Your Majesty has many urgent matters to deal with. When you have free time, your Majesty will come to visit you, okay?" Xie Tianlin comforted him patiently.
Xie Xin'er looked up at her brother's slightly tired and haggard face and couldn't help feeling pity: "In that case, Xin'er will listen to her brother. But you must take good care of yourself and don't work too hard. Xin'er will leave first now. See you later, brother." Before she finished speaking, Xie Xin'er turned around and slowly left, but she still looked back from time to time, as if she was reluctant to leave her brother.
Xie Tianlin silently watched his sister's back gradually receding, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. His eyes stayed on the figure that was gradually moving away, as if he saw something deeper through her.
Shen Ao, the Marquis of Divine Power, the famous figure in the court and the husband of the eldest princess, has a full 200,000 soldiers in his hands! Compared with Marquis Dingyuan, there is a clear difference between them. Marquis Dingyuan may be unpredictable, but Marquis of Divine Power is a pure loyal minister, and his loyalty is only dedicated to the current emperor. In this case, he must not have any involvement with Prince Jin or Minister Tong, right?
Xie Tianlin thought to himself, and became more and more anxious. Time was running out, and he had to speed up his pace and not leave any chance for those who were trying to destroy the evidence!
Just as Xie Tianlin was thinking secretly, Eunuch Ma suddenly ran in as if his butt was on fire, "Your Highness, it's bad. I just received news that Minister Tong confessed all his crimes in the prison and committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
