This is why Emperor Youning had just received Shen Xihe's memorial implicating Xiao Changmin's crimes, but before he could send anyone to summon Xiao Changmin, Xiao Changmin took the initiative to confess his guilt before Emperor Youning and completely pushed the blame for the conspiracy.
He just drank a little too much and said some drunken words, but who knew these people were so bold. They seemed to be trying to please him, but they might be deliberately framing him and trying to sow discord between him and the prince.
Emperor Youning was too lazy to distinguish what was true and what was false. The person who made the complaint was Shen Xihe, so Emperor Youning naturally did not want Shen Xihe to get his wish. Since Xiao Changmin had cleaned himself up, he would just give Shen Xihe a small punishment with a lot of noise.
What happened in Kyoto could not be hidden from Xiao Huayong as long as he wanted to know. At dusk, he knew who had persuaded Xiao Changmin to stop the loss in time.
It happened that Shen Xihe returned home at this time. Xiao Huayong went to greet him and offered him hot tea. When Shen Xihe came out after changing his clothes, he said, "The second brother escaped a disaster."
He was informed that Xiao Changmin had confessed his guilt and then found a scapegoat.
"He won because Your Majesty dislikes me." Shen Xihe said calmly after listening.
Emperor Youning wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible because he had revealed his sharp claws and fangs, but His Majesty could not find any handle on her, and did not dare to set a trap easily. He also had to worry about her father and brother in the northwest, so he felt disgusted and helpless.
Xiao Huayong did not deny this, he could only say something else: "It was the Pingyao Marquis who went to persuade the second brother. There is actually a smart person hidden in the Pingyao Marquis's mansion. I was wrong."
A face flashed through Shen Xihe's mind, and she shook her head slightly: "It's not that you are wrong, it's that you don't take people seriously at all."
Having been married to Xiao Huayong for such a long time, Xiao Huayong did not look down on women, nor would he deliberately belittle them. He was also not like most men in the world who viewed women as women who were trapped in the inner house and could only take care of their husbands and children.
But he seldom paid attention to women. Perhaps it could be said that over the years, she was the only woman he paid attention to.
"Your second wife of the Yu family." Xiao Huayong remembered as soon as Shen Xihe reminded him.
Speaking of which, Shen Xihe had talked to him once or twice about the second lady of the Yu family, but Xiao Huayong looked down upon her inner chamber tricks. This time was a little different.
"She is afraid of me. She will be extra cautious about anything related to me." Shen Xihe explained to Xiao Huayong that it was not that Yu Sangning had grown up, but that Yu Sangning was too afraid of her.
"Oh my god, such a beauty, yet someone is so afraid of her. It's really because my eyesight is not good." Xiao Huayong supported his chin with one hand, staring at Shen Xihe quietly without blinking.
Inexplicably, Shen Xihe couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, and shook his head with a gentle smile.
She didn't even show any helplessness towards him, which made Xiao Huayong feel as if he had swallowed a mouthful of honey, which was so sweet to his heart that he grinned foolishly.
Seeing this, Shen Xihe sighed softly and shook his head as if he had no way to deal with him: "It's time to give the Yu family a warning."
To save people from her, you have to pay a heavy price.
Xiao Huayong sat up straight suddenly, his black eyes twinkling with stars, his face full of expectation: "How can I be of service to Youyou?"
