Spring Drunk Chang'an

Looking at the miserable plight of the Xu family, the crying and wailing stimulated Liu Xiu's senses. The emotion of revenge was so strong that he was extremely excited. He accompanied the officials of the Dali Temple throughout the whole process, running around for free. He was more diligent and willing to work than the petty officials!

Even for the dirty work of kidnapping and escorting people, he, a dignified duke, uh, no, now he is a marquis, did it himself without any complaints about the dirt or the tiredness!

Busy until the moon is at its highest point in the sky!

All the serious officials of the Dali Temple had returned home to rest, but Liu Xiu was still accompanying the dungeon soldiers to lock up the last master of the Xu Mansion in a cell!

"Liu, Lord Liu, it's getting dark, and it's time for us to go on night duty and lock up the prison. Please..."

The jailer guarding the dungeon bowed, put on a smile, and asked cautiously.

The matter on their side has been settled and the dungeon door is about to be closed. Why doesn't Lord Liu leave?

Such a high-ranking official, standing right in front of them in the dungeon? It's scary, isn't it?

They can’t bet on it anymore!

The jailer tactfully asked them to leave.

His words also woke Liu Xiu up from his strange "frenzy" state. Looking into his bloodshot eyes, his flushed and hot face gradually cooled down.

"Oh, ah, so that's the case. Then I'll leave first. We'll see you tomorrow..."

Liu Xiu wanted to say, "He will come again tomorrow." However, the excitement of revenge gradually subsided, and rationality returned to his brain. He suddenly remembered the mood in the mansion.

His Wenbo is still paralyzed in the mansion and no one is taking care of him?

And the scene of the wedding, that mess~~

Liu Xiu's head was buzzing and his brain felt like it was being twisted with pain. His face turned pale and he stared at the jailer in a daze. He didn't bother to finish his words and just kept his mouth open.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing Liu Xiu's sudden death, the jailer's blood ran cold with fear. What, what was going on? This Lord Liu had just been beating and scolding the Xu family with full energy? How could he just ask a casual question and suddenly it all shattered?

It was as if he had a stroke on the spot, and the corners of his mouth turned white?

Are you trying to blackmail him?

Not really. He’s just a small jailer, and his monthly salary is only one or two taels.

What's the point of blackmailing him?

"My Lord? My Lord?"

The jailer's voice changed.

"I, I have nothing to do. I'll be leaving first!"

The jailer's screams woke Liu Xiu up. He wiped his face violently, responded casually, then turned around and walked out of the dungeon in embarrassment.

Outside, the stars are shining brightly.

The streets were deserted. Liu Xiu stood in a daze under the stars, and suddenly he felt a sense of loneliness, as if the world was empty and he was the only one in the world.

He was dazzled and lost in thought.

At this time...

"My Lord, my Lord, you're finally out! Let's go back to the mansion! Curfew is almost here!" The coachman from the Ningguo Marquisate hurried out from the corner of the street, his face covered in sweat and filled with anxiety. "It's too late, too late! Hurry up and get in the carriage!"

The late-night snack period in Daxia is from the first to the third watch, and it’s almost time.

Without the Emperor's order, anyone who is on the street during curfew hours will be punished, not only for Liu Xiu, a marquis who has made a mistake, but also for members of the royal family.

"Let's go quickly!"

The coachman was almost in tears.

"Oh, let's go, let's go!" The momentary silence was broken, and Liu Xiu woke up in shock, but his expression was still a little confused. He climbed into the carriage with his hands and feet together.

"My Lord, please take your seat. I have to drive the carriage!"

Before they could sit down properly, the driver hurriedly reminded them, and then cracked the whip hard. The two horses neighed and ran forward with their hooves raised.

The driver continued to whip and urge the driver on.

The horse ran faster and faster, and Fei Yan'er could be seen behind its hooves!

"Ah~" Liu Xiu was in the carriage and hadn't even sat properly when he was shaken and fell down. His head hit the frame of the carriage with a loud "bang". The pain made him see stars and scream in pain.

The sound is very loud.

The driver heard it all.

But, he didn't stop!

Not only did he not stop, he whipped the horse quickly, urging it to go faster, and comforted him, "My Lord, please be careful and sit tight. We really don't have enough time. We have to hurry!"

Liu Xiu didn't have time to answer. He rolled back and forth in the carriage, and his skin and flesh frequently rubbed against the wooden carriage, the small coffee table, and the small stove inside.

He grimaced in pain.

However, it was also because of the pain that his dazed mood finally recovered. He was angry, but looking at the sky and calculating the time, he really couldn't blame the driver. He could only try his best to hold the window to stabilize his body.

The driver's skills were quite impressive. The distance from the dungeon to the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, which should have taken half an hour, was reached in just two quarters of an hour.

The carriage stopped in front of the Marquis's mansion, and the driver called out, "The Marquis is back!"

At the main gate, the gatekeeper heard the noise and hurried forward to open the door. At the same time, a servant ran into the inner courtyard and informed the masters.

The driver whipped his whip, the horse galloped, and the carriage arrived at the second gate. Liu Xiu got off the carriage, feeling dizzy, and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene before him...

The morning lights and decorations, the red flowers everywhere, had disappeared. The red candles and colorful silks that had been lit in the mansion to welcome the bride had all been taken down, but the newly planted peach trees and the newly erected strange rocks were still there!

A sense of decadent luxury hits you in the face.

The corner of Liu Xiu's mouth twitched and he rolled his eyes stiffly. He instinctively wanted to go to Jishan Hall to see his eldest son, but just as he took a step and had not yet walked towards Jishan Hall, he was met by a large group of people, who came towards him in a crowed manner.

The first to bear the brunt of the attack was Liu Qingru. Her beautiful eyes were red and swollen. She rushed forward sobbingly and hugged Liu Xiu's arms, crying and shouting, "Daddy, Daddy, Lai, how is Aunt Lai? Is she really dead?"

"Is it impossible to save her? Auntie, Auntie didn't switch the baby on purpose. She did it all for me. Switching, switching the baby, it's her fault. But, fortunately, Sister Chang'an also grew up under our mother's nose and was safe and sound. So let's be lenient with her!"

"Daddy, please go and beg the Emperor to spare my aunt for once."

Liu Qingru knew clearly that Emperor Yingwu had sentenced Aunt Lai to death, but she was unwilling to accept this and wanted to save her biological mother's life.

Firstly, Aunt Lai has been taking care of her, being considerate to her, and treating her well in all ways for so many years, and she really can't bear to leave her.

Secondly, she knew that she was impatient and not very smart. In the past, when she got along with others and made plans, it was Aunt Lai who helped her. Now, this person was gone!

Liu Qingru didn't know how to deal with herself! !

She also wants to marry the prince, become the wife of the Eastern Palace, and become the queen in the future, the mother of the country!
