Travel To The World Of Ca Li
The accusation!
At this moment, in the Emperor's tent. The burning incense had already become dust even though it still smelled. The bright morning sun clutched in the sky was in stark contrast to the chaos that was unfolding.
Early in the morning, Xiu Huanran came to the Emperor after several times he remained patient because the Emperor refused to see him.
Beside the Emperor stood the figure of a middle-aged man with a frown on his face that was imprinted more clearly when his eyebrows were pressed as if trying to intimidate Xiu Huanran.
"Second Young Master Xiu, your actions are senseless. But it's true that you came.." That was Defense Minister Gao, who was the Empress's elder brother and sister-in-law of the Emperor. His eyes glanced at a glance giving the code for the little eunuch to open the scroll. "This is the hunting location. Some of the allotted defenses have been kept tight for years. However, this time there was an attack from an outside group." He paused as he stared at Xiu Huanran fieryly. "A servant reported strange gestures from Big Miss Xiu the night before the hunt. We have evidence and witnesses. Eject it!" His word.
Xiu Huanran who had been watching his every move and sentence, was smiling there was a hint of a terrifying amused grin.
A battered young warrior came in and knelt down. His face flushed with tears, he tapped his head on the floor. And say, "Am. His Majesty the Emperor! I am guilty of being deceived and blinded by worldly material."
The Emperor stared flatly and flicked his sleeves, "Say!"
"The Emperor trusts me to safeguard the Third Prince's safety and security. But, right in the middle of the night before the hunt..," The tone of voice of the soldier paused and his body trembled, his eyes blank as if losing both soul and mind. "That.., that. A man came to offer me a reward and I refused but he was threatening and torturing. I was scared and agreed." There was a slight pause as he looked up, his outstretched hand took out a golden totem bearing the eagle which was the mark of the elite forces belonging to Great General Xiu. "The man gave me this thing as collateral. He already pretended to be me to infiltrate the army. Please the Emperor help investigate and give justice!"
Minister Gao made the statement by demanding, "Second Young Master Xiu. It is a great crime if outsiders know about it. We have no other option to cut off the heads of all the descendants of Xiu. The three princes disappeared and it is not known how he is. All the evidence points to Big Miss Xiu as an outsider. The Xiu family is a military family in the Southern Border that is far from being monitored, who knows your ambitions for power." His word.
Xiu Huanran's heart moved, as if slowly anger would overwhelm him. His mind was no longer thinking about his sister's situation. But this is a game. Where calm is needed to win. Xiu Huanran's eyes swept straight, reacting as if there was nothing.
He said emotionlessly; "The Xiu family can walk to this day, relying on our sincerity to fight on the battlefield. Although the Xiu family isn't rich, it won't let people bully us either." His face was calm yet his eyes exerted a terrifyingly irregular pressure.
"Although these accusations are unwarranted. But there was Minister Gao's right remark, Our Xiu Family is indeed a military family. We guard the border and fight, usually use the sword to solve problems, do not like discussions." The cunning increased in Xiu Huanran's menacing eyes.
The Emperor remained silent watching and observing. Although some things went wrong in his prediction. However, all of this was still within his control. He moves everyone like a piece.
Xiu Huanran was a meticulous person, in this detail he did not trust his younger sister to be careless. Unless that little traitor's the one who's throwing a tantrum. He knew that Xiao Taoli had infiltrated this place as a soldier, but they had understood and always played softly without a trace.
Silence drowned the frozen room.
At this moment, suddenly a eunuch rushed in and shouted; "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor! The three Princes and Grand Miss Xiu are back! Heaven help them!"
Hearing that, Xiu Huanran got up and ran out with a tense expression but the look in his eyes emitted an unstoppable sense of relief.
He smiled as he looked at the familiar posture from the side. People gave way. The other party who was looking would feel sweet honey coming out from his warm eyes.
Her little sister looked so strong as if she no longer needed to protect. However, there was a faint trace of coldness when Xiu Huanran saw his sister's pale and dry face from a distance.
Uhuk!
Xiu Qixuan pressed down on his chest. It hurts like thousands of ants are gnawing at his heart.
His eyes were blurred but he could recognize this voice. His hands trembled hugging Huanran's shoulders and was like a pitted boy, "Er'ge, I'm sick!" Said.
Xiu Huanran flicked a finger at his forehead, and sneered. "Silly! Now you just know what it hurts." He lifted Xiu Qixuan's body into his carriage and left. Leaving everyone who witnessed the harmonious scene.
••••••••••••••••••••••••
The four people immediately received thorough treatment from the imperial healers. The hunting event had completely failed by this incident. The Emperor continued to investigate while waiting for them to recover for interrogation.
Xiu Qixuan received personal treatment inside her tent. At this moment, Huanran was helping out with the attention of bribing her medicine. "Your body is fine. But, your internal forces and internal organs are injured by forcing excessive energy." Huanran clearly clicked his tongue.
He stared intently at Xiu Qixuan who was leaning against the bedpost. "How did you get out of the abyss of death?" The question is a little intimidating.
Xiu Qixuan's smile widened, in no hurry did she lean over and answer quietly. "Because there's no way out. I called Baijin Hu and Lao Yong, the two heavenly beasts helped to fly up the cliff. Ah.., you take it easy, the princes have fainted. They don't know how they survived."
Huanran momentarily nodded. Gradually his facial expression looked dark, he was always stressed when dealing with Xiu Qixuan. His fingers moved against his sister's head, "You should be hurt this badly. You drained your life energy how much, Yes Sky!" Its meaning.
Huanran as a family figure, he was the one who best understood the entire abilities and character of Xiu Qixuan. He's the first person who's always there, he's the first person who's always gonna find him.
Putting down the already empty medicine bowl violently, Xiu Huanran rose up with a sinister rage. But, Xiu Qixuan who saw that just smiled like she was used to it. The girl only regarded Xiu Huanran as a barking fierce dog.
"I'll take care of everything. You restore yourself. Three days later we return to Ping'an." Rigorously.
Prangs!
After those words are said. The sound of jade shards hit the floor violently. The two brothers turned their heads and saw a figure standing with a nervous look of surprise.
