Xiao Junxi is a gentleman, and a gentleman usually takes revenge when he can.
So the moment Wen Ruyu released his acupuncture points, Xiao Junxi raised her head and threw the pillow under her head onto Wen Ruyu.
Wen Ruyu immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Shameless, I just saved you!"
"I beg you?"
The latter asked indifferently, which immediately made Wen Ruyu jump in anger, "You ungrateful thing, you are worse than my disciple!"
Clinker thought, Xie Ruzhuo also said with a smile, "Master, His Highness did not beg you. Well, I did."
Hearing this, Wen Ruyu immediately pointed at the two of them and said in a trembling voice, "You're a little girl. Your elbows are turned outward before you get married."
With that said, he angrily stuffed a pill into Xiao Junxi's mouth and said with a groan, "Since you two can't die, I won't serve you anymore!"
Seeing Wen Ruyu skipping out of the hall, Xie Ruzhuo immediately covered his mouth and snickered, "It's rare for Master to be frustrated."
Xiao Junxi looked at her lovingly and said, "As long as you are happy."
With one sentence, Xie Ruzhuo immediately blushed from his cheeks to his ears.
At dusk, the palace carriage brought Xie Ruzhuo home safely.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Mrs. Qiao standing at the door first. The maid helped her down and said with red eyes, "Why didn't you say anything when you went? If it hadn't been for the news from the palace, I wouldn't have known - "
Speaking of this, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but want to cry again.
Xie Ruyue hugged Xie Huailin, who was somewhat drowsy, and said to Ms. Qiao, "Mother, why do you feel so sorry for such a heartless little girl?" But even though she said it, the worry and fear in her eyes were also clear. Nothing left.
Xie Ruzhuo, who rarely spoke back, just comforted Mrs. Qiao and said, "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine." As she said this, she supported Mrs. Qiao with her backhand and walked into the house together.
After entering the house and settling down, Mrs. Qiao asked in detail, "What happened that day? Have you been well in the palace these days?" Finally, he asked the third prince, "His Royal Highness's illness can be cured." alright?"
After all, he is Xie Ruzhuo's fiancé. If everything goes well, it can be regarded as a marriage that has the best of both worlds.
Xie Ruzhuo thought about it for a while, picked up the less important ones and returned, but Xiao Junxi kept it secret, "The miracle doctor said it is still very dangerous now. Whether this life can be saved will have to wait until his twenty-fifth birthday to see. "
It's not that she doesn't trust Mrs. Qiao and others, it's just that this person has a mixed bag of words, and it's more likely that there will be those who listen to the wall. If it is leaked, it will be a great danger to Xiao Junxi.
If a prince who holds the Black Cavalry, has the respect of Emperor Jing, and has the support of the Xie family behind him, is really healthy, he will be involved in the dispute over the heir apparent even if he doesn't want to.
Xiao Junxi finally got out of the dragon pool, and she must not fall into the tiger's den again.
Hearing this, Mrs. Qiao couldn't hide her disappointment, "Well, people's lives are determined by destiny, and you can't force it. I just hope that His Highness, Prince Jing, will have his destiny."
That night, Xie Ruzhuo had a rare good sleep. On the second day, when I went to pay my respects to Xie Shengli, I unexpectedly saw an old friend.
It was early morning, the daylight was soft and peaceful.
As soon as Xie Ruzhuo entered the courtyard, he heard bursts of laughter coming from inside. Xie Shengli laughed heartily and said, "Sure enough, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and talented people come out from generation to generation. Although I have not been in court for a long time, but now I hear you say this , but I’m starting to think like a teenager!”
Then I heard a man smile modestly and said, "Mr.
Lin Mu was guarding the door. When he saw Xie Ruzhuo coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and smiled softly, "Fourth Miss, why are you here? The old man said that you are not feeling well and asked you to take a good rest in the past few days."
Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly and said, "I'm not in any serious trouble, I just need to cultivate myself. Besides, I haven't paid my respects to grandpa for a long time, so it's appropriate for me to come here today."
After saying that, she asked softly, "Who is inside?"
Lin Mu didn't hide anything and replied, "The person inside is Mr. Li Jieli who is in charge of the embezzlement case this time."
Xie Ruzhuoyuan sounded a little familiar, and he remembered what Xiao Xinning said that day that this person was a lame number one scholar, and he immediately became interested, because he smiled and said, "I was curious before, but today he actually came to the door. Let me go and see him." Look at the style of Mr. Li." This case of the Xie family's reversal of the case is very important. If this Li Jie is a righteous person, it's easy to say, but if he is from the Shen family, then she will take down the latter no matter what she thinks of!
But when she saw Li Jie, she immediately retracted her previous thoughts.
He was still wearing official clothes, but he had the air of a frail scholar about him. His face was slightly delicate, and his eyebrows were full of justice.
Xie Ruzhuo was stunned at first, and then was shocked at the door.
This man is the cripple who was at the door of Xie's bookstore earlier!
Li Jie obviously recognized her, and he held his hands first and said, "Miss Xie, please be polite."
Xie Ruzhuo hurriedly returned the courtesy and said, "Master Li, I don't dare to accept it."
Xie Shengli asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo told the exact story of that day, and finally said, "When I met Mr. Li that day, I just thought he was a scholar with integrity. I didn't expect that it turned out to be my blindness."
Li Jie waved his hand and said with a smile, "Even wearing this official robe, I am still a scholar with integrity and will never be contaminated by the filthy atmosphere of officialdom."
Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly, bowed respectfully to Xie Shengli, and stood behind him.
Li Jie added, "Don't worry, Mr. Xie. I have heard a little bit about this corruption case. Although the Xie family has been implicated, in my opinion, the Xie family is not involved in this. I will definitely find out the facts of the case and never unjustly accuse the Xie family!" "
Xie Shengli thanked him and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as everything is handled fairly and impartially. I appreciate Xie's kindness, but Mr. Li does not need to be merciful."
After Li Jie left, Xie Ruzhuo asked, "What does grandpa think of this person?"
Xie Shengli stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction, "He is a malleable talent. Although he is deeply disabled, what is rare is that he has a pure temperament and does not fall into ambition."
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo was relieved because he mentioned another matter, "Grandpa, the third prince's health is much better."
Her voice was not loud, but it was enough to stir up waves. Xie Shengli stood up suddenly and said, "But is it true?"
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo nodding, Xie Shengli's expression changed unpredictably, and after a long time he said, "Does he have anything to say to me?"
Xie Ruzhuo suddenly knelt down, raised his eyes and said, "Grandpa, he didn't say anything. But my granddaughter has a few words that she has to say."
"Say it."
With Xie Shengli's permission, Xie Ruzhuo simply told the whole story, "Emperor Jing has three princes, the second prince is sinister and suspicious and can't tolerate others, the fourth prince is focused on the mountains and rivers and has no interest in government affairs, and the fifth prince is violent, vicious and petty. Our Xie family has gone through these years, and now we are also He is the one that several princes are vying to win over. But after Emperor Jing’s death, who among these princes does grandpa think can keep the Xie family safe?”
After hearing this, Xie Shengli shook his head and said, "This is why I don't take sides. Once the Xie family leaves neutrality, they also lose their life-saving charm."
"Can neutrality really save your life? If you stand in line, you may be burned, but if you are neutral, not only will you not be reused by the new emperor in the future, but even worse, you will be hated by the new emperor. By then, those who are less likely to be reused will not be reused. If it is serious, The Xie family is afraid that the building will collapse."
Xie Ruzhuo spoke extremely slowly but in a clear and coherent manner.
Xie Shengli had long known that his granddaughter's views were different from those of ordinary women. At this moment, he sincerely asked, "What do you think I should do?"
Xie Ruzhuo calmed down his breath and said seriously, "The third prince is the son of the late empress, and his status is higher than that of the other princes. Secondly, he is also the most suitable candidate for Emperor Jing among all the princes; so Zhuo'er feels that, Why don't we come together to secretly attack Chen Cang and ensure that the third prince ascends to the throne!"
She had this idea after learning that Xiao Junxi could recover. With Xiao Junxi's temperament, even if she died, the other party would not treat the Xie family badly. And with the help of the Xie family and Wen Ruyu, it is not difficult for him to ascend to the big position.
Now she and Xiao Junxi both saved their lives, which was considered a blessing. But what happens next needs to be taken seriously. She must get rid of Xiao Junhan's bad couple. At that time, Xiao Junxi will be pushed out into the open and asked to protect himself, he must have the ability to get rid of others!
Xie Shengli is not stupid, so he naturally knows that Xie Ruzhuo has selfish motives. But from another perspective, Xie Ruzhuo's method is the best method at the moment.
After a long time, Xie Shengli said slowly, "Let me think about it."
Seeing this, Xie Ruzhuo bowed and said, "Zhuo'er has overstepped the rules. Please forgive me, grandpa."
"That's all." Xie Shengli waved his hands and said, "Your idea is actually right, but firstly, it is not clear what the third prince's thoughts are; secondly, the Xie family is currently in a precarious situation, and it is really not suitable to be involved in party disputes. But there is one thing. You can rest assured that the Xie family only serves Mingjun."
These words were a disguised reassurance for Xie Ruzhuo.
Xie Ruzhuo thanked Xie Shengli happily and went out. There is a rising sun, illuminating the sky and the earth. She took a deep breath and smiled.
Shen Jingci, if you survive this disaster, let's show our talents and see who can have the last laugh!
As expected, Li Jie investigated the case impartially and impartially, as he said that day. And I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but in just a few dozen days, four or five Shen officials were found to be involved!
Moreover, these Shen officials were all fierce generals supported by the Shen family. After learning the news, Mr. Shen was so angry that he smashed all the porcelain in the room and yelled, "Bring me Shen Jingci." Come!"
Not long after, a servant hurriedly left and returned, saying cautiously, "The eldest lady went out and hasn't come back yet."
Mr. Shen became even more angry and said angrily, "Go and guard at the gate, and bring her to me immediately when she comes back!"
After Shen Jingci returned home, she saw two young men guarding the door. When they saw her, there was not even a smile on their faces, "Miss, the old man called you over, saying that there is something important."
Shen Jingci came from Xiao Junhan and had just received the new news in the court. She was in a mess. Seeing the boy's face at this moment, she knew that the old man might also know about it.
When she was at Xiao Junhan's place, Xiao Junhan had already warned her, "Now that I have become a prince for the first time, it is the time to be cautious. If the Shen family causes any trouble again, don't blame me for being merciless to the Shen family!"
She was angry, but she didn't dare to express it to Xiao Junhan, so she had to lie low and apologize to coax him.
Who would have thought that as soon as he got home, he would be stopped by his own family again.
Shen Jingci felt a little timid in her heart, but she had to bite the bullet and said, "I understand, let me go back and change clothes before going."
But the boy stopped her directly and repeated, "The old man said, let you go now."
