Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1660 Falling from Horse
"The five families in Lingnan are not easy to deal with." Xie Chen sighed, and Xiahou Yunzhao raised his eyebrows, "I just said in front of Ye Yun that you can still handle it. You won't lose face so soon, right?"

Xie Chen continued to sigh and said, "How many people in the Xiahou family have spies sent by the five Lingnan families in their mansions, and many of them are favored..."

"Really?" Xiahou Yunzhao seemed to be clueless and asked, "Why is there none in our house?"

"Zhao Zhao." Xie Chen called out helplessly, but his tone was filled with laughter. "Who do you think is in our house?"

"With a mind like yours that is full of twists and turns..." Xiahou Yunzhao shook his head and said, "Having you in the mansion is enough. I can't handle having another one."

Xie Chen smiled more, but he did not follow Xiahou Yunzhao's words. He still talked about business, "If you want to go to the Wu family, I will go with you."

"No need." Xiahou Yunzhao restrained his expression, "Even if the Wu family is bold as a whim, they dare not do anything to me."

Xie Chen wanted to say something else, but Xiahou Yunzhao said, "The Wu family may not care about other people's lives, but they dare not care about my life."

Hearing this, Xie Chen said solemnly, "Zhao Zhao, do you want to gamble your life for Xiahou Mingxun?"

"Why not?" Xiahou Yunzhao curled his lips, "Xiahou Mingxun has suffered a lot for the Xiahou family over the years. It's nothing for me to gamble my life for him."

"You said this as the head of the Xiahou family..." Xie Chen paused deliberately, "or as Xiahou Mingxun's sister?"

"Is there any difference?" Xiahou Yunzhao smiled even more. "I am not only the real head of the Xiahou family, but also the sister of Xiahou Mingxun..."

"Zhao Zhao, you know what I'm asking." Xie Chen rarely interrupted Xiahou Yunzhao, and he had never lost his composure like this before.

"Xie Chen, you may know better than me what the situation in Beijing is now." Xiahou Yunzhao suddenly changed his voice, "His throne seems to be stable, but in fact he is isolated and helpless. What can the nine great princes and noble families really do for them?" How many people did he use?"

"If you think about him, you shouldn't do it for Xiahou Mingxun, or even for Wu Ying..." Xie Chen was interrupted by Xiahou Yunzhao before he finished speaking, "I'm not doing it for him."

The smile on her face gradually faded as she spoke, "I owe not many people in my life, including Ayu and Xiahou Mingxun. If these debts are not paid off, I won't be able to close my eyes."

"You are not the only one who owes Ayu?" Xie Chen closed his eyes slightly, as if he couldn't bear to recall the past.

"Even if it is to repay Ayu, I will help him clean up the southeastern land." A look of determination flashed in Xiahou Yunzhao's eyes, "So, Xie Chen, you don't have to worry about me, as long as you act impartially and conclude this case That’s fine. If anyone dares to stop you, I’ll get rid of that person.”

"If, I'm asking if." There was a hint of urgency in Xie Chen's voice, "That man was born in the Xiahou family..."

"Just do whatever you want, I won't protect you." Xiahou Yunzhao said with a sharp expression, "Except for Xiahou Mingxun."

Xie Chen looked steadily at Xiahou Yunzhao in front of him and subconsciously grabbed her hand. She did not break away or hold back.

"If Xiahou Mingxun is guilty, just put the blame on me." Xiahou Yunzhao spoke quickly, as if she was afraid that Xie Chen would stop her from continuing. "I'm his sister. If he is guilty, then I am guilty." "Zhaozhao, where do you want me to be?" Xie Chen tightened his grip on Xiahou Yunzhao's hand. She turned her head away and didn't look at him. "If anything happens to me, please take good care of Xiahou Mingxun for me..."

"Xiahou Yunzhao." Xie Chen shouted out his name and his suppressed anger, "You don't believe that Xiahou Mingxun is innocent, and you don't believe that I will help you..."

"Xie Chen, it's not that I don't believe it." Xiahou Yunzhao hurriedly stopped Xie Chen's words, "But I am the head of the Xiahou family, don't you understand? If someone really wants to sacrifice the flag, it must be me, and it can only be it's me."

"If you want to sacrifice the flag, then won't the five Lingnan families all have to be buried with you?" Xie Chen's eyes were covered with frost and snow, and his voice couldn't help but feel cold, "If it really reaches that point, will the southeastern land be clean? "

Chen nodded and waved to Fang Zilan, "Zilan, good girl, come here."

Fang Zilan pursed her lips, slightly hesitant, but still walked over, sat beside the bed, and held Chen's hand, "Princess."

"Today, thanks to you." Chen's breath was unstable, and she could only say a few words before pausing for a while, "I heard that you were injured, and the high priest..."

Before she finished her words, she started coughing heavily. Murong Xun calmed her down and said in a gentle voice, "Zi Lan is now in good health in front of us, just be at ease. If you have anything to say..."

"If I don't tell you now, I won't have another chance in the future..." Chen looked anxious and coughed more and more violently. Murong Xun couldn't persuade her and could only respond, "Okay, whatever you say."

Fang Zilan's heart tightened. Looking at Chen's appearance and listening to her conversation with Murong Xun, she was afraid that she didn't have much time left...

Chen seemed to see what Fang Zilan was thinking and patted her hands gently, "Zilan, while I can still hold on, I have something to say..."

"Princess, just say it." Fang Zilan held Chen's hand tightly, but saw her glance at Murong Xun. He was silent for a while, then stood up and walked out.

Fang Zilan looked back at the straight figure standing outside the screen, feeling mixed emotions. Chen thought she was hesitant and said softly, "Zilan, don't be afraid. The prince is actually a good man."

A good person? Fang Zilan didn't say anything, so Chen continued talking on her own, "The prince has told me that you stole the token and saved Qing'er. This is not something that an ordinary boudoir daughter can do."

Hearing this, Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows, "Prince and Princess, do you doubt me?"

"I don't care who you are." Chen shook her head, "It's just that Qing'er... lives too hard..."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red and she coughed again. Fang Zilan calmed her down, "How you live is your own choice."

"I know, I know..." Mrs. Chen's lips moved and her voice weakened a little, "When the high priest divined and the destiny prophecy appeared, I was already pregnant..."

She paused for a moment, with tears in her eyes, "I originally hoped that if I gave birth to a girl, with the protection of Prince Zhongzheng, she would be able to live a peaceful life no matter what."

Fang Zilan bit her lip, as if she was out of control, and said word by word: "If we don't fight, where will we settle down? With the destiny prophecy, even a girl cannot escape death. Could it be that the princess thinks that the Miluo royal family is so kind and soft-hearted? generation?"
