Chapter 18
Zhu Yi couldn’t hear what he wanted to say, so he said, “Let the world understand.”
Xie Ying then asked, “Can the princess trust me like the two guards you used to trust?”
Zhu Yi looked at Xie Ying and blinked, a little surprised that he would compare himself with her former guard officer.
Xie Ying said slowly: “Princess, the minister is very loyal to you.”
“Shizi, loyalty does not rely on words. My former guards listened to me. You let me go down as I said, and I believe you.” Zhu Yi couldn’t get used to this embarrassing and shameful posture. One mind persuaded him to let her go.
“…” Xie Ying found that Zhu Yi was sometimes clever.
Xie Ying heard the extremely light footsteps suddenly coming outside the door, only those who could practice martial arts with ease, the corners of his lips were slightly pulled imperceptibly, and his waist turned towards Zhu Yi.
“Xie Ying!” His movements made Zhu Yi shouts from his throat, like anger and anger, but in his bones it was all charming. The door panel was naturally shook.
Zhu Yi glared at Xie Ying: “We will be found by the door like this.” What do we find? Is it okay if it’s not at the door? Zhu Yi’s words were originally unintentional, but it is easy for people outside to hear it.
“And I have something to tell you.” Zhu Yi said again.
Hearing the people outside the door leaving, Xie Ying put Zhu Yi down: “Say the princess, I’ll listen.”
As soon as Zhu Yi left his confinement, he immediately sat on the chair, took a short breath, and said: “My son, I know you want to ask me about meeting Rong Xiao. But I want to say, thank you for your family. I won’t ask about it. And my personal matter, I hope you don’t ask about it, okay?”
Xie Ying was silent for too long, making Zhu Yi feel a little guilty.
He said: “What is your personal business? The princess even has opinions about me going to Yuzhizhou for a cup of tea. I saw the princess and Rong Xiao staying in the same room alone. What do the princess make me think?”
Zhu Yi explained: “Rong Xiao is my good friend. Today I just asked him to do something for me.”
“The princess seeks to find Rong Xiao like this.” Xie Ying said: “In other words, even if the minister and the princess are so close, in the princess’s heart, the minister is still not as reliable as Rong Xiao, right?”
In Zhu Yi’s heart, Xie Ying is naturally not as reliable as Rong Xiao.
Zhu Yi is not stupid. Although she is attracted by Xie Ying herself unable to control herself, she knows that Xie Ying is definitely not controlled by anyone. Moreover, Xie Ying’s situation is more complicated than Rong Xiao’s, and there are too many temptations around him and many aspects that need to be weighed. In contrast, Rong Xiao was very simple. Besides, she was not sure how sincere Xie Ying was towards her, but Rong Xiao had really helped her for two years.
Zhu Yi didn’t want to upset Xie Ying, so he said: “I haven’t compared the two of you.”
Xie Ying smiled: “Then how do you compare now?”
Zhu Yiluo thought: “Xie Ying, shall we stop talking about this?”
“Okay, the princess will take a lunch break.” Xie Ying stopped asking, turned and left.
Zhu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but Xie Ying’s determination to leave without hesitation made her feel as if she was being **** by a thin thread, and she was constantly being pulled.
Wen Yan walked to Xie Ying and said, “My son, the third son of Rong had come to find the princess before, and he left soon after arriving at the door.”
Xie Ying said, “Go and watch the princess.”
Shen Xingliu handed a sealed letter to Xie Ying. After Xie Ying finished reading, Shen Xingliu asked: “The princess is really investigating the death of her biological father, General Pei? Didn’t General Pei accidentally be assassinated in the face of the enemy? Huh?”
Xie Ying said: “It’s not that simple.” The battle against the chaos in the southwest was related to the trilateral game between the imperial court, Yongzhou, and the King of Burma. There was a problem with the transportation of grain and grass in the rear. I bought it.
“Shi Zi means that General Pei was really murdered?”
Xie Ying nodded: “I heard that when the first news came back to Beijing that it was Pei Qing who killed Zhongliu, but later changed, saying that he fell off the cliff with no bones left. Therefore, it was the clothing mound that helped back to Beijing. The cause of death is unknown, and the princess will inevitably be unable to let go.”
Shen Xingliu sighed: “It is said that General Pei is a rare general. It is a pity that he has never been defeated before this battle. But, how can the princess, a little girl without soldiers and power know the truth? If the princess can kill General Pei to death, if the princess goes into it, she will only incur…” Shen Xingliu looked at Xie Ying, hesitated and said, “The danger of killing.”
Xie Ying lowered her eyelashes and said, “Leave this matter to Sheng Qing to continue investigating.”
As expected, Shi Zi still wanted to intervene, Shen Xingliu was quiet for a moment, and said: “Yes.”
Shen Xingliu’s perception of Zhu Yi is complicated. Starting from the good of the master, Shen Xingliu actually didn’t want the elder son, Princess Shang Xizhen, and marrying this princess would not benefit the elder son, but would put more constraints on the elder son. But when Shi Zi was with Princess Xizhen, he smiled a lot more. From this aspect, Shen Xingliu hoped that Shi Zi could have a princess.
Zhu Yi slept until dusk, if Xie Ying asked Wen Yan to wake her up, she could continue to sleep.
Only Zhu Yi and Wen Yan ate dinner. Zhu Yi looked around and asked, “Where is the son?”
Wen Yan said: “The son has an appointment tonight.” Seeing Zhu Yi still looking at her, Wen Yan added: “I heard that Shen Xingliu said it was with the prince and the prince who made trouble in the Yeguang Building last time. male.”
Zhu Yi blushed, and she didn’t ask if it was a man or a woman. After reacting, he said, “Brother Emperor has also returned to Beijing.”
Wen Yan said: “Yeah.”
Zhu Yi nodded. There are some things in Beijing that need to be handled by the prince on behalf of the emperor, and the prince often runs on both sides. She ate her own food again.
Afterwards, Zhu Yi proposed to go shopping, digest food, and said softly: “Princess, the eldest son said you can’t go far, just ask the princess to turn around.”
Zhu Yi naturally agreed that she would not embarrass Wen Yan if it was not necessary.
Zhu Yi bought a candied gourd while walking and gnawing. A familiar figure was sitting by the window of the pub opposite. She yelled twice, and her voice was drowned in the crowd. Zhu Yi went into the pub and patted the other person on the shoulder: “Rong Xiao!”
The young man looked up and saw the person in front of him clearly, his sluggish eyes lit up quickly: “Princess.” Rong Xiao immediately looked behind her, saw only Wen Yan, and smiled: “Are you out shopping?”
“Yeah.” Seeing that he was in a trance before, Zhu Yi was obviously taking a drink to ease his sorrows. Guessing that something happened in his house, he sat down in front of him: “I will accompany you for two drinks, and drink boring wine alone. How boring.”
Rong Xiao watched Zhu Yi pour the wine himself, but didn’t stop it. Wen Yan frowned.
Although Rong Xiao admired Zhu Yi in the past, he always adhered to the duty of a monarch and minister, and treated Zhu Yi as a fairy in a dream. He never dared to give birth to half-star Qi Nian for fear of blaspheming her. Because of this, Zhu Yi can get along with him for two years and believes him extraordinarily.
But after today’s noon, Zhu Yi Ruannuo’s soft voice lingered in his mind. He is no longer magnanimous with Zhu Yi now. He looked at Zhu Yi’s face, and he would imagine her expression when she made that soft voice, not knowing how touching it was.
Rong Xiao knew that he should retreat in the face of difficulties. Since Zhu Yi allowed Xie Ying to touch her, it meant that her heart had been captured by Xie Ying. He hated Xie Ying for climbing the holiest flower in his heart, and he was also saddened by Zhu Yi’s lack of self-love.
But his feelings for Ju Yi did not fade. Therefore, when Zhu Yi was flushed with his wine and coughed continuously, Rong Xiao still felt distressed, and said to the shopkeeper, “Give this girl another jar of pomegranate flower wine.”
Zhu Yi grumbled: “Why don’t you say a word? Drinking such a strong drink, you have to ask me to ask the carriage to take you back later.”
Rong Xiao laughed: “No, you don’t know how much I drink.”
But when the two parted ways, Rong Xiao was still drunk, and he had drunk too much before Zhu Yi came, and now all his stamina was up. Zhu Yi wanted to send Rong Xiao back in person, but her eyes were dizzy and her legs trembled, so she used the last bit of sanity to ask Wen Yan to find a car for Rong Xiao. She herself propped her face with one hand and sat blankly at the table.
When Wen Yan threw Rong Xiao into the carriage, paid the money, and turned back into the tavern to take a look, his heart was cold for the most part, and Zhu Yi, who was sitting at the table, was gone.
Knowing how much Shi Zi valued the princess, Wen Yan was so horrified that she shook her whole body. She pulled the shop assistant who was sweeping the floor next to her by the collar, and said, “Where is the girl who was sitting at this table just now?” Zhu Yi was drunk like that. Absolutely can’t walk.
The little second panicked: “I, I don’t know. I just came out of the kitchen.”
Wen Yan immediately rushed out of the tavern again, seeing people coming and going, but they were all strange faces, where there was half a shadow of Zhu Yi.
The author has something to say:
Author: The male lead surnamed Xie. Yesterday I just said that Rong Xiao is not the second male second. As a result, the little fairies asked who is the second male second, hoping to release the second male second! What are your thoughts on this?
Xie Ying: Ha ha. Come on, I also want to know who the second man is. I said I would kill him before he played.
