Xufu, qingpingyuan.


    This used to be the courtyard where King Taiping Xu Zhengqi lived, but after the death of King Taiping, the Qingping courtyard was empty. Even if there were more and more descendants of Xu''s family, the Qingping courtyard was still empty.


    Xu Yuanzu is standing in the pavilion of Qingping courtyard, looking at the plum tree not far away.


    Sure enough, even after so many years of sleeping, I still can''t forget it.


    "Dog, you can''t imagine that I can live another life!"


    Although he gave up a lot in order to live again, and slept in the cold land for so many years, he survived after all.


    It''s a pity that even if he lived his whole life again, he couldn''t get a breath of innate Qi. After all, he had no chance to see the natural scenery.


    "You once said that if you fail me, you will be cut off from your blood, and you will never be able to live beyond your life!"


    "Well, retribution is coming!"


    As soon as Xu Yuanzu''s body was swept away, he appeared under the plum tree. With one punch, he shot the hundred year old tree into two parts.


    This hundred year old plum tree in qingpingyuan is said to have been planted by Emperor Taizu and King Taiping.


    This tree has a very different meaning to Xu Fu.


    Over the years, people in Xu''s family have been taking good care of this tree.


    Now, when the plum tree falls down, the people in Xu''s house are naturally shocked.


    Chang Le Gong and Yong''an Gong were ready to rest, but when they received the news, they didn''t wear their clothes properly and came running.


    Seeing the plum tree falling on the ground of Qingping courtyard, their hands were shaking.


    First, the old prince was poisoned, and then the hundred year old Mei fell. Is it that the glory of their Xu mansion is coming to an end?


    Changle Gong and Yongan Gong are in a state of confusion!


    Xu Yuanzu, who caused all this, was indifferent to the panic of the people in Xu''s house. When his eyes noticed the faces of Changle Gong and Yong''an Gong, his brows wrinkled.


    It''s just a tree. It''s taken as a treasure by these children.


    In a flash, Xu Yuanzu suddenly had an idea.


    Xu Fu, his descendants, has been destroyed by his comfortable life. The so-called severe use of medicine, break and then stand, this Xu house, it is time to collapse!


    Xu Fu, because of him, by him end, no problem.


    ……


    Changle Gong and Yong''an Gong after a long time of loss, arranged for people to clean up the broken plum tree.


    And not long after they left the qingpingyuan, another news came from the steward of the mansion that Xu Shuo, the Duke of Ding, had come.


    Thinking of Xu Shuo''s meeting with the Empress Dowager in the Palace during the day, they asked Xu Shuo to come in.


    "What does the Empress Dowager say?"


    Seeing Xu Shuo, Yong''an Gong and Changle Gong almost asked questions in one voice.


    "The imperial edict of emperor Taizu!"


    "The people of Xujiazhuang on the Weihe River have a jade pendant in their hands. Those who come to Beijing with the jade pendant will be the Duke of the state!"


    "The Empress Dowager didn''t want another Duke in Xu''s house, so she let him take the title of Yuanzhen and inherit the title of Antai!"


    Xu Shuo simply explained the matter.


    Chang Le Gong and Yong''an Gong were silent.


    The imperial edict issued by Emperor Taizu, the jade pendant was granted to the Duke of the state. It''s true. It''s carved on the stone tablet in front of the Imperial Palace, which can be seen by people all over the world.


    Once upon a time, when they saw the imperial edict engraved on the stone tablet, they felt that the emperor Taizu had made a trifle. But slowly, it was forgotten.


    Now they hear it again, but they feel like they are listening to Arabian Nights.


    The imperial edict is true!


    Jade pendant, it''s true!


    But they once asked their family that no one in Weihe Xujiazhuang had such a jade pendant in their hands.


    "Two elder brothers, Xu Yuanzu was invited to the Imperial City Department. Have you ever come back now?"


    Having said that, Xu Shuo asked about Xu Yuanzu.


    "I''ve come back, and I came back very early!"


    Chang Le Gong sighed, "it can be said that he entered the Imperial City Department. After a short time, he came back safe and sound!"


    "The death of laotaijun should have nothing to do with him!"


    Yong''an Gong''s fingers tapped on the table. "After all, without Lao Taijun, even if he had a jade pendant, he would not have been granted the title of Duke."


    "By the way, just before you came, the plum tree in qingpingyuan fell down!"


    "If you fall, fall!"


    Xu Shuo is in the mood to care about plum trees. He just wants to know who killed his mother.


    Although he resented his mother in his heart, he still wanted to avenge his mother''s death. As for expecting Yongan and Changle, Xu Shuo is not so stupid.


    His mother, in name, is the old prince of Xu mansion.


    But in fact, his two cousins don''t have much respect for his mother."What nonsense?"


    "Plum tree in qingpingyuan, have you forgotten the origin of this tree?"


    Hearing Xu Shuo''s casual response, Chang Le Gong was so angry that he patted the table.


    Xu Shuo snorted and said, "instead of caring about a tree that has lived for hundreds of years, you''d better think more about my mother."


    "Today''s world is not peaceful!"


    "Without my mother''s support in the house, how much difference does Xu house have from the ordinary Xun GUI''s house?"


    Xu Shuo stood up and looked at the Duke of Changle and Yong''an. "I still think there is something wrong with Xu Yuanzu."


    "This matter, I will continue to investigate!"


    The implication is very simple, no matter how Yong''an Gong and Changle Gong choose, Xu Shuo is aiming at Xu Yuanzu.


    "Whatever you want!"


    Chang Le Gong also snorted coldly. He didn''t take Xu Shuo''s temper seriously.


    Although Xu Shuo is also the Duke of the country and married the eldest princess, in his eyes, Xu Shuo could not be supported by mud.


    When Xu Shuo left Xu''s house, he was at a loss. He didn''t know where to go now?


    Dingguo government?


    There were no good memories for him there.


    As for Xu Fu behind him, without his mother''s existence, there would be no attraction for him.


    In such a big capital, Xu Shuo suddenly found that he was more lonely than the emperor.


    , "father, your royal highness, let your servant return to your mansion!"


    When Xu Shuo didn''t know where to go, the female guard beside the eldest princess appeared.


    "the war in the North has not yet disappeared, and the Gong has to go back, so she will not go back to the mansion. Tell the princess your highness!"


    Looking at the female guard who appears in front of him, Xu Shuo excites himself. He quickly turns over, mounts his horse and gallops towards the gate of the city.


    In the moment of seeing the female guard, Xu Shuo somehow arrived at a threat.


    He didn''t know why he felt this way, but his intuition told him that he had to stay away from the eldest princess.


    Although the female guards came at the order of the eldest princess, the eldest princess didn''t ask them to take people back. The reason Xu Shuo gave was still so powerful that a female guardian was so awesome that Xu Shuo had already gone away.
