Zhu Yi couldn't understand what he wanted to say, so he said, "Let me understand."
Xie Ying then asked: "Can the princess trust me like she trusted your two former guards?"
Zhu Yi looked at Xie Ying and blinked, a little surprised that he would compare herself to her former guard.
Xie Ying said slowly: "Princess, I am also very loyal to you."
"My lord, loyalty doesn't just depend on words. My former guards listened to me very much. Let me go down as I said first, and I will trust you." Zhu Yi couldn't get used to this embarrassing and shameful posture, All he wanted was to persuade him to let her go.
"..." Xie Ying found that Zhu Yi was quite clever sometimes.
Xie Ying heard the very light footsteps coming from outside the door, which can only be heard by martial arts practitioners who know how to lighten their bodies. The corners of his lips were slightly pulled imperceptibly, and his waist was pressed against Zhu Yi.
"Xie Ying!" His movements made Zhu Yi cry out from his throat, like anger or anger, but in his bones he was charming. The door panel was naturally shaken by the impact.
Zhu Yi stared at Xie Ying: "We will be found by the door like this." What did you find? Is it okay if it is not by the door? Zhu Yi's words were unintentional, but if people outside listen to them, they are really easy to make people think.
"And I have something to tell you." Zhu Yi said again.
Hearing the people outside the door leave, Xie Ying put Zhu Yi down: "Princess, I'll listen."
As soon as Zhu Yi left his confinement, he immediately sat on the chair, took a steady breath, and said, "Your Majesty, I know you want to ask me about meeting Rong Xiao. But I want to say, you Xie family I won't ask about my affairs. And I hope you don't ask about my private affairs, okay?"
Xie Ying was silent for too long, which made Zhu Yi feel a little guilty.
He said: "What is your private matter? The princess even has objections to me going to Yuzhizhou to drink tea. I saw the princess and Rong Xiao staying alone in the same room. What does the princess make me think?"
Zhu Yi explained: "Rong Xiao is my good friend, today I just asked him to help me with something."
"The princess looks for Rong Xiao so far away." Xie Ying said: "That is to say, even if the subject and the princess are so close, in the heart of the princess, the subject is still not as reliable as Rong Xiao, is it?"
In Zhu Yi's heart, Xie Ying is naturally not as reliable as Rong Xiao.
Zhu Yi is not stupid. Although she cannot help being attracted to Xie Ying herself, she knows that Xie Ying is definitely not under anyone's control. Moreover, Xie Ying's situation is more complicated than Rong Xiao's, and there are too many temptations and trade-offs around him. In contrast, Rong Xiao is very simple. What's more, she was not sure how sincere Xie Ying was to her, but Rong Xiao actually helped her for two years.
Zhu Yi didn't want to offend Xie Ying, so she said, "I didn't compare the two of you."
Xie Ying smiled: "Then how do you compare now?"
Zhu Yiluo pondered: "Xie Ying, let's not talk about this, shall we?"
"Okay, the princess will take a lunch break." Xie Ying didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left.
Zhu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but Xie Ying's determination to leave without hesitation made her feel as if her heart was tied by a thin thread and kept being pulled.
Wen Yan walked towards Xie Ying and said: "My lord, the third son Rong came to look for the princess earlier, and he left soon after reaching the door."
Xie Ying said: "Go and see the princess."
Shen Xingliu handed a sealed letter to Xie Ying. After Xie Ying finished reading it, Shen Xingliu asked, "Princess is really investigating the cause of her biological father, General Pei's death? Wasn't General Pei accidentally assassinated while fighting against the enemy?" Is it?"
Xie Yingdao: "It's not that simple." Pei Qingrang's battle to quell the chaos in the southwest was related to the three-party game between the imperial court, Yongzhou, and the king of Burma. I bought it.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that General Pei was really murdered?"
Xie Ying nodded: "I heard that the first news that came back to Beijing was that Pei Qing let Zhong Liuya die, but later it changed, saying that he fell off a cliff and there was no body left, so Yiguanzhong was the only one who helped him back to Beijing. The cause of death is unknown, and the princess cannot help but feel relieved."
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. However, the princess is a little girl with no soldiers and no rights. What can I do if I know the truth? Since it can kill General Pei, if the princess gets to the bottom of it, it will only cause her..." Shen Xingliu looked at Xie Ying, hesitated for a moment and said: "The trouble of killing oneself."
Xie Ying lowered her eyelashes and said, "Let Sheng Qing continue to investigate this matter."
The prince really wanted to intervene, Shen Xingliu was silent for a moment, and said: "Yes."
Shen Xingliu had mixed feelings about Zhu Yi. Starting from the sake of his master, Shen Xingliu actually did not want his son Shang Xizhen, and marrying this princess would not bring benefits to his son, but would actually add constraints to his son. But when the crown prince was with Princess Xizhen, he smiled a lot more. From this aspect, Shen Xingliu hoped that the crown prince could have a princess.
Zhu Yi slept until the end of the day, if Xie Ying hadn't asked Wen Yan to wake her up, she would have continued to sleep.
Only Zhu Yi and Wen Yan had dinner. Zhu Yi looked around and asked, "Where is your son?"
Wen Yan said: "My son has an appointment tonight." Seeing that Zhu Yi was still looking at her, Wen Yan added: "From what Shen Xingliu said, it seems that he was with the prince and the prince who caused trouble in Yeguang Tower last time. Both male."
Zhu Yi blushed, but she didn't ask if it was a man or a woman. After reacting, he said again: "Brother Huang has also returned to Beijing."
Wen Yan said: "Yes."
Zhu Yi nodded. There are some matters in Beijing that need to be handled by the crown prince on behalf of the emperor, and the crown prince often runs on both sides. She buried herself in her own food again.
Then Zhu Yi proposed to go for a stroll to digest food, and said gently: "Princess, the prince said that you can't go far, please ask the princess to walk around."
Zhu Yi naturally agreed that she would not embarrass Wen Yan unless it was necessary.
Zhu Yi bought a candied haws and chewed it while walking. A familiar figure was sitting by the window of the tavern opposite. She yelled twice, but her voice was drowned in the crowd. Zhu Yi went into the tavern and patted him on the shoulder: "Rong Xiao!"
The young man raised his head blankly, saw the person in front of him clearly, his dull eyes quickly lit up: "Princess." Rong Xiao immediately looked behind her, saw only Wen Yan, and said with a smile: "Are you out shopping?"
"Yeah." Zhu Yi saw that he was in a trance before, obviously drinking to relieve his worries, guessing that there was something wrong in his family again, so he sat down in front of him: "I'll have two drinks with you, and drink alone How boring."
Rong Xiao watched Zhu Yi pour the wine by himself, but didn't stop him. On the contrary, Wen Yan frowned.
Although Rong Xiao admired Zhu Yi in the past, he always abided by his duties as a monarch and minister, and treated Zhu Yi like a fairy in a dream. He never dared to have half-star fancies, for fear of insulting her. Because of this, Zhu Yi has been able to get along with him for two years and believes in him extraordinarily.
But after noon today, Zhu Yi's soft and soft voice lingered in his mind. He is no longer frank with Zhu Yi now. Looking at Zhu Yi's face, he would imagine her demeanor when she made that soft voice, 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 Xie Ying had already captured her heart. He not only hated Xie Ying for breaking the most holy flower in his heart, but also felt sad for Zhu Yi's ignorant self-love.
But his affection for Joey hasn't faded in any way. So when Zhu Yi was choked up by his wine and his face was flushed and he coughed continuously, Rong Xiao still felt distressed, and said to the waiter: "Give this girl another jar of pomegranate flower wine."
Zhu Yi grumbled: "Why didn't you say anything? After drinking such a strong drink, I'll have to call a carriage to take you back later."
Rong Xiao chuckled: "No, it's not like you don't know my drinking capacity."
But when the two parted ways, Rong Xiao was still drunk, he drank too much before Zhu Yi came, and now his stamina is fully recovered. Zhu Yi wanted to send Rong Xiao back in person, but her eyes were blurred and her legs were trembling, so she used her last bit of wit to ask Wen Yan to find a car for Rong Xiao. She propped her face with one hand, and sat at the table dumbfounded.
When Wen Yan threw Rong Xiao into the carriage, paid the money, turned around and went into the tavern to have a look, her heart suddenly became cold, Zhu Yi who was sitting at the table was gone.
Knowing how much the prince valued the princess, Wen Yan was so shocked that her whole body trembled, she pulled the waiter who was sweeping the floor next to her by the collar and brought her over: "Where's the girl sitting at this table just now?" Zhu Yi was so drunk, Absolutely can't walk.
The little girl panicked: "I, I don't know. I just came out of the kitchen."
Wen Yan immediately rushed out of the tavern, seeing people coming and going, but they were all unfamiliar faces, and there was no shadow of Zhu Yi.
