Wanwan is not Wanwan: Who will spoil you after you are reborn?
Chapter 497 The Princess's Last Wish
Xie Mansion.
Not long after Shen Wanwan left in the carriage of Prince Qin's Mansion, someone knocked on the door of Xie's Mansion.
"It's you? How dare you come here?"
When the doorman saw the middle-aged man outside the door, he was furious and said, "Get lost! Go back to where you came from!"
The doorman did not know that Princess Pingyang was dead, but he knew that his wife had suddenly lost control of her emotions and the entire Xie Mansion was shrouded in gloom, all thanks to the person in front of him.
"I want to see Master Xie Moxuan. Please let him know. You can tell him..."
The doorman ignored what Liu Qing was saying and quickly tried to close the door again.
Seeing this, Liu Qing immediately stepped forward and stuck his hand in the crack of the door.
"You're not done yet, are you? If you don't let go of my hand, I'm going to call for help!"
Without waiting for Liu Qing to react, the doorman yelled at the top of his lungs, "Hurry up, someone is trying to break into our Xie Mansion..."
Liu Qing's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately reached out to cover the doorman's mouth, but it was too late. Three black figures jumped out from nowhere, and one of them punched Liu Qing without saying a word.
Liu Qing had no choice but to let go of the doorman and took two steps back.
"I'm here to..."
"No matter if you're right or not, you deserve to be beaten for breaking into the house... Why are you two still standing there? Don't even think about a one-on-one fight, let's all attack together!"
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
Liu Qing was hit twice, with blood on the corner of his lips. He gritted his teeth and drew his sword. Instantly, the sound of the swords clashing could be heard.
The sword was unsheathed, emitting a cold light.
The doorman swallowed, fearing that he might be accidentally injured, and hid further away.
What happened at the gate of the mansion soon alarmed other people in the mansion. When Xie Moxuan hurried over, all four of them were injured.
It was obvious that Liu Qing was more seriously injured. He knelt on one knee, holding the sword in one hand, and supporting his body with the tip of the sword against the ground.
The concierge was standing by in perfect condition. Seeing Xie Moxuan, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Cousin, you've come at the perfect time. It was this Liu who came to our house that day and said something to our wife that tricked her out."
After saying that, he snorted at Liu Qing, "Bah! What kind of person is this? How dare you come to see my cousin? Beating you to a pulp would be the least of your worries. Do you really think that there's no one behind our Xie family?"
"Are you Mr. Xie Moxuan?"
Liu Qing looked at Xie Moxuan and said, "I am the guard beside Princess Pingyang. The princess asked me to bring you a message."
Xie Moxuan pursed his lips, looked straight at Liu Qing, and did not respond.
The princess is dead, and her last wish was to let Princess Anhua take the surname Xie.
Apart from this, he really couldn't think of any other message the princess wanted to send to him.
Xie Moxuan's nonchalant expression made Liu Qing anxious, "It has something to do with the Xie family."
Xie Moxuan's eyes suddenly narrowed.
At this time, Pei Wanwan also arrived with Xie Leqing's support. When she heard Liu Qing's words, her expression changed slightly.
"Let's go to the main hall."
Xie Leqing spoke in a cold voice and turned to walk towards the main hall. Pei Wanwan quickly pulled Xie Moxuan and followed closely behind him.
Liu Qing limped along at the end.
Several secret guards hid in the dark again.
The surroundings returned to calm. The doorman scratched his head and closed the door.
main hall.
Xie Leqing sat down in the main seat and asked someone to prepare tea.
Pei Wanwan stood beside Xie Leqing, Xie Moxuan sat on the left, and Liu Qing walked to the right and sat down at Xie Leqing's signal.
Xie Leqing waved to the servants, "Alright, all of you go down. No one is allowed to approach the main hall."
When there were only four people left in the hall, Liu Qing looked at Xie Leqing: "Madam Xie, the princess is actually a good person. She only did one wrong thing in her life. She shouldn't have fallen in love with General Xie..."
Xie Leqing's face darkened slightly, and he immediately looked at Xie Moxuan. Seeing that his expression had not changed significantly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Guard Liu came here today, if you just want to talk about the princess, then please go back. The princess is a member of the royal family and her status is precious. My Xie family is just an ordinary citizen and we dare not talk about the princess behind her back."
Liu Qing's expression changed slightly, but he immediately changed his tone: "Whether you believe it or not, the princess did her best to save the Xie family's lives back then."
Xie Leqing's breathing stagnated, "What do you mean by that?"
Liu Qing took a deep breath and slowly recounted what happened that year:
Seven years ago, two months after General Xie Zhiyuan was executed, the news reached the Princess Pingyang Mansion in Jiangzhou.
Gu Feiyan fainted on the spot after hearing the news. The first thing she did after waking up was to rush back to Shangjing City. At the same time, she arranged for people to go to the Southern Wilderness to intercept the exile team.
As the team leader, Liu Qing led his men to travel day and night. When they caught up with the exile team, they were only one day's journey away from the exile destination.
Unfortunately, they arrived too late and only saw five bodies of the Xie family exposed in the wilderness.
As for the rest of the Xie family, they had already passed away on their way to exile due to various reasons.
Because the exile team was in a hurry to leave, the surviving members of the Xie family did not even have time to properly bury their relatives who had passed away earlier. They could only hastily wrap the bodies in a straw mat and bury them.
The last five members of the Xie family who died had no relatives to collect their bodies, so their bodies were left exposed in the wilderness.
Xie Leqing, Pei Wanwan and Xie Moxuan all looked extremely ugly, and their hands hidden under their sleeves clenched violently.
It was difficult for them to calm down when they heard what happened seven years ago again.
It was the first time they heard such detailed news that the rest of the Xie family had died of illness on the road to exile.
Their hearts at this moment were as painful as if they were being tortured by slicing a thousand pieces of wood.
Xie Leqing's face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and he almost fainted.
When the Xie family met with misfortune, she forced herself to collect the body of her eldest brother who was executed. After that, she was in a daze. Half a year later, she heard the news that the rest of the Xie family died of illness on the way to exile.
She had no way to collect their bodies and bury them, so she could only build a cenotaph for the rest of the Xie family next to her eldest brother's grave.
"The princess felt that the elderly, weak, women and children of the Xie family could not endure the hardship of exile, so she specially arranged for me to lead people to secretly intercept the exile team, hoping to secretly take them to the fiefdom for resettlement. Unfortunately, it was still a step too late."
Liu Qing sighed heavily. "I never imagined that even the youngest male of the Xie family would die on the road to exile. I immediately sent a message to the princess to inform her of this. The princess asked us to find the bodies of the remaining men along the way and bring them back to the fiefdom for burial."
At this point, he paused and said, "Princess Pingyang is a good person. I have been her guard for so many years and have never seen her punishing servants for no reason. Even if the servants made mistakes, she would let them go lightly.
"She was the most honored princess of the Nanyao Kingdom. She could have lived a carefree life of wealth and glory, but because she fell deeply in love with General Xie, she ended up living a miserable life for the rest of her life."
Liu Qing looked at Xie Moxuan, "Master Xie has been working for the King of Qin. He should have known that the number of the princess's personal guards in Jiangzhou has increased to 50,000. In fact, the princess has never thought of seeking power or usurping the throne.
"As for the iron ore deal with Japan, the princess was deceived. She had no idea that Madam Lin Chen Qianru was a Japanese spy, much less that Concubine Luo was actually a Japanese princess. If she had known this earlier, she would never have done such foolish things.
"Also, the princess had no idea that you, Master Xie, were still alive. If she had known earlier..."
Liu Qing suddenly changed the subject, "The princess is now dead. Her only last wish was for the princess to change her surname to Xie and return to the Xie family. As for other things, she didn't dare to ask for anything else."
Liu Qing did not tell Xie Moxuan that if the princess really went so far as to plot power and usurp the throne, Princess Anhua would inherit the throne a hundred years later, and by then, the princess would have the surname Xie.
The princess always thought that it was Emperor Tianchen’s stupidity and incompetence that caused the Xie family to end up like that.
Let Princess Anhua change her surname to Xie and inherit the throne. That is what the Gu family owes to the Xie family.
Liu Qing had always disapproved of the princess's actions and had tried to persuade her.
But he has always been her most loyal guard, and he has to obey his master's orders.
But this time, he didn't listen to the princess.
This was the first and last time in his life that he disobeyed his master's orders.
I just hope her last wish can be fulfilled.
Liu Qing didn't continue.
He had said what he needed to say. As for the outcome, he had no influence on the Xie family's decision.
The main hall suddenly became extremely quiet.
You can hear the needle drop.
Everyone present felt very uncomfortable.
Xie Leqing's heart was even more complicated.
She never expected that Gu Feiyan had done so much behind her back.
She even wondered if she had done something wrong back then.
She has been thinking these past two days, if Gu Feiyan had really married her eldest brother as a co-wife, would the tragedy of the Xie family have not happened?
