You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 390: Previous Life (34) Clear the charges! You left me homeless

"Ning Yi, bring the things over here."

Ning Yi went to get a sandalwood box, Xiao Yun took it and handed it to Marquis Xuanping.

Marquis Xuanping looked at the box in front of him, stretched out his hand tremblingly, raised it to mid-air, and dropped it several times.

Xiao Yun looked at him for a while, opened the box, placed it in front of Marquis Xuanping, and then went to the table to drink tea.

After Xiao Yan left, Xuan Ping Hou mustered up his courage and reached out to take the papers inside. He read them one by one, and his eyes widened...

Transplanting flowers and trees, killing people to steal jade...

Therefore, Liu Bojian and Liu Yiyi were not his biological sons at all, but his enemies who killed his son and daughter...

He worked hard for them all these years, but ended up making things easier for his enemies.

Marquis Xuanping was so angry that he spat out blood. The bright red blood dyed the papers red. He roared in rage, and his reason was swallowed up by the huge hatred.

"They are really going too far! Too far!"

He suddenly stood up, snatched the sword from Ning Yi's hand, and was about to rush out.

"Marquis Xuanping."

Xiao Yan's voice came over, and Ning Yi stretched out his hand to stop him.

Marquis Xuanping's eyes were red as he knelt on the ground with a deep and sad voice.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to avenge my children. Your Majesty, please allow me to avenge my children!"

Marquis Xuanping said it twice, clenching the hilt of the knife in his hand. The anger in his chest made him want to rush out and cut them into pieces.

Xiao Yan put down the teacup and said:

"Marquis Xuanping can seek revenge, but not now."

Xuanping Hou was not stupid, he immediately put his hands on the ground and kowtowed, saying:

"I hope Your Majesty will make it clear!"

Xiao Yan turned the teacup and said:

"How much do you know about the battle between Xuanping Hou and Beiyang Pass?"

Xuanping Hou paused for a moment and said:

"I understand a little bit. What do you want to ask me, Your Majesty?"

"About Lin Kaiji and Lin Yanzhi."

"Know a thing or two."

Xuanping Hou said, and then paused for a moment and said:

"They are also from the previous dynasty!"

"Since Marquis Xuanping knows this, that is enough."

Xuan Ping Hou bowed his head and said:

"I am stupid, so I hope Your Majesty will explain it clearly."

"The Lin family was killed because of the collusion between the two of them and Beijue, which led to the loss of Beiyang Pass and the tragic death of 100,000 Lin family soldiers! Now, the truth has been revealed and the remnants have been eliminated. Duke Lin has been a soldier all his life, working diligently and loyally to the emperor and his country. He should not be charged with treason."

After a pause, Xiao Yun stood up and walked to the front of Xuan Ping Hou. He lowered his head and looked at Xuan Ping Hou who was kneeling and bowing. After a while, he said in a deep voice:

"So the Lin family's crime of treason and collusion must be shouldered by Liu Bojian, and you, Marquis Xuanping, must personally report it! From now on, the merits and demerits will be offset. I can allow Marquis Xuanping's family to move to the border. Whether to execute the whole family or save your family's lives depends on your choice!"

When the layers of gold-robed feet were completely out of his sight, Marquis Xuanping fell heavily to the ground.

Although the Lin family supported Xiao Yun, when Xiao Yun was demoted, he was favored by His Majesty, and Xiao Yun himself had the power he had cultivated, so he was not really at the end of his road.

He didn't believe it if someone said that he helped the Lin family clear their grievances because of this support and Duke Lin's loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

Although he was a member of the eldest prince's faction, he was always loyal to An Guo. He followed His Majesty, overthrew the Ye family, guarded the border, and resisted the Northern Jue. He also boasted that he had made some achievements and contributions.

His biggest mistake was allowing Liu Yiyi to torture and humiliate Lin Zhaoyue at will, leading to her tragic death in the cold palace.

But one life is worth all his merits...

Marquis Xuanping smiled bitterly. He finally understood that everything His Majesty did, apart from eliminating dissidents, was most fundamentally for the purpose of deposing the empress!

At this moment, Marquis Xuanping's eyes and heart were filled with regret.

Why did he allow his enemies to humiliate and harm the former and the latter in that way?

In fact, when he found out that Xiao Ying had sent the palace maid to secretly protect Lin Zhaoyue, he knew in his heart that Xiao Ying had feelings for Lin Zhaoyue.

It was precisely because of this affection that he later indulged Liu Yiyi in torturing Lin Zhaoyue. Only when Lin Zhaoyue died could his daughter completely occupy Xiao Yan's heart.

He thought that with Xiao Yan's love for Liu Yiyi and his support for her, Xiao Yan would not do anything to her...

It was because he was too optimistic that he ended up with his entire family exiled and his reputation ruined. It will probably be difficult for his descendants and future generations to ever have a chance to turn things around.

Xiao Yan said that he was given a choice, but in fact he had no choice...

When Marquis Xuanping staggered out of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Liu Bojian and Liu Yiyi were no longer outside the door.

He asked the attendant who was guarding outside, and the attendant replied:

"Young Master Liu has been imprisoned, and the Queen has been sent to the cold palace. My Lord, what should we do next? If Young Master is convicted, it will be difficult for him to get out!"

Xuanping Hou clenched his fists with red eyes and gritted his teeth:

"It's better to be imprisoned and convicted. I am afraid that the punishment he receives is too light."

The follower was unable to react for a moment when he heard this.

When you first arrived, didn’t the Marquis always want to protect the Prince and the Queen?

How come this happened?

Before he could figure it out, Marquis Xuanping had already left.

"My Lord, where are we going?"

"Go back home and draft a confession!"

……

Cold palace.

Liu Yiyi looked at the surrounding environment and felt a chill in her heart.

This place was none other than the room where Lin Zhaoyue was imprisoned before, and also the place where she died tragically.

The cold palace had been burned down and had not yet been repaired. At this moment, there was nothing here except the four walls around it.

The cold wind was blowing, freezing her bones, and it felt like a knife scraping against her face.

Ever since she fainted while kneeling two days ago, her stomach had been feeling a little uncomfortable, and now it was in severe pain.

"Brother Ying, Yiyi's stomach hurts. Is there something wrong with our prince? Brother Ying, Yiyi doesn't want to stay in the cold palace. Can you take Yiyi away?"

As she spoke, she knelt down and crawled to Xiao Yan's feet.

"Yiyi was really framed this time. Brother Ying, Yiyi made this mistake, is it so unforgivable?"

Xiao Yan looked down at her condescendingly, and suddenly, his thin red lips curled up in a cruel arc.

He recited her name word by word.

"Yesang Ning."

When she heard those three words, Liu Yiyi’s eyes widened instantly.

Does he know?

Brother Yi knows everything?

Liu Yiyi stretched out her slender white fingers, grabbed Xiao Yan's trouser leg and said anxiously:

"Brother Ying, no matter who Yi Yi is, it is true that Yi Yi loves you and Yi Yi has never hurt you."

"You haven't harmed me? You poisoned me with love, stole her life-saving grace, framed her several times, and humiliated her to death. You made me lose my wife and have no home to return to."

"Brother Ying, it's not like that. I do all this just because I love you so much."

Liu Yiyi was in tears.

"Brother Ying, Sister Yue is your wife, and so is Yiyi. Yiyi doesn't need to be a princess! She can betray them and be with Brother Ying. Yiyi is pregnant with a baby, so let's form a real family, okay?

Brother Ying, for you, Yiyi can do anything. What Lin Zhaoyue can give you, Yiyi can also give you. Touch Yiyi's belly. Our prince is growing day by day. He will be born in four months. Brother Ying, touch him. "

As Liu Yiyi spoke, she wanted to grab his hand and put it on her belly, but Xiao Yan dodged her.

Xiao Yun lowered his eyes and looked at the baby in Liu Yiyi's belly, his tone meaningful.

"Royal child? You probably don't even know whose child you are pregnant with."

Liu Yiyi was shocked, all her tears gathered in her eyes, and she stared at him with wide eyes.

"Brother Ying, what do you mean?"

Xiao Yan did not answer her question, but only said:

"come in!"

As he finished speaking, a man walked in from outside. That man looked exactly like Xiao Yan.
