The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown - Chapter 18

[Chapter 18]

Zhu Yi couldn’t hear what he was trying to say, so he said, “Let’s understand with the prince.”

Xie Ying then asked, “Can the princess trust me like you trusted your two former guards?”

Zhu Yi looked at Xie Ying and blinked, a little surprised that he would compare himself to her former guard officer.

Xie Ying said slowly, “Princess, this minister is also very loyal to you.”

“Sir, loyalty doesn’t depend on words. My former guards listened to me very much. If you let me go first as I said, I will believe you.” Zhu Yi couldn’t get used to this embarrassing and shameful posture. Wholeheartedly persuaded him to let her go.

“…” Xie Ying found that Zhu Yi was sometimes quite clever.

Xie Ying heard the very light footsteps suddenly approaching outside the door, which only those who can practice martial arts with light kung fu would have.

“Xie Ying!” His actions made Zhu Yi cry out from his throat, like anger and resentment, but he was charming and charming in his bones. Naturally, the door panel was also shaken.

Zhu Yi glared at Xie Ying: “We will be found by the door like this.” What was found? Is it okay if it’s not at the door? Zhu Yi’s words were originally unintentional, but when people outside listened to them, it was easy to confuse people.

“And I have something to tell you.” Zhu Yi said again.

Hearing the people outside the door leaving, Xie Ying put Zhu Yi down: “Princess, I’m listening.”

As soon as Zhu Yi left his confinement, he immediately sat down on the chair, took a quick breath, and said, “Sir, I know you want to ask me about meeting Rong Xiao. But I want to say, you thank the family. I won’t ask about it. And my private matter, I hope you don’t ask, 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 a problem with me going to Yuzhizhou to drink tea. I saw the princess and Rong Xiao alone in the same room. What should the princess make me think?”

Zhu Yi explained: “Rong Xiao is my friend, I just asked him to do something for me today.”

“Princess is looking for Rong Xiao so far.” Xie Ying said: “That is to say, even if the minister and the princess are so close, in the princess’ 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 can’t control herself to be attracted by Xie Ying, but she knows that Xie Ying is by no means anyone can control. And 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 wasn’t sure how sincere Xie Ying was to her, but Rong Xiao really helped her for two years.

Zhu Yi didn’t want to upset Xie Ying, so he said, “I didn’t compare the two of you.”

Xie Ying smiled: “How about you compare now?”

Zhu Yi thought for a while: “Xie Ying, let’s not talk about this, okay?”

“Okay, the princess is taking her 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 decisiveness to leave without hesitation made her feel as if her heart was tied by a thin thread, constantly being pulled.

Wen Yan walked towards Xie Ying and said, “Sir, Young Master Rong came to find the princess before, and he left quickly when he got to the door.”

Xie Ying said, “Go and see the princess.”

Shen Xingliu handed a letter sealed with paint to Xie Ying. After Xie Ying read it, Shen Xingliu asked, “The princess is really investigating the cause of her biological father General Pei’s death? General Pei was not accidentally stabbed to death while fighting the enemy. Is it?”

Xie Ying said: “It’s not that simple.” The battle of Pei Qingrang to quell the chaos in the southwest was related to the three-way 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, and the people around Pei Qingrang may also be caught Bought.

“The prince means that General Pei was really murdered?”

Xie Ying nodded: “I heard that the news that was first passed back to Beijing said that Pei Qing killed Zhongliuyao, but later changed it, saying that he fell off the cliff and no bones were left, so only the tomb of clothes was brought 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 who has never been defeated before this battle, which is really a pity. It’s just that the princess is a little girl with no soldiers and no power, how can she know the truth? If you can kill General Pei, the princess will only cause her death if she investigates deeply…” Shen Xingliu looked at Xie Ying, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Murder.”

Xie Ying lowered his eyelashes and said, “Let Sheng Qing continue to investigate this matter.”

As expected, the prince still wanted to intervene, and Shen Xingliu was silent for a moment, then said, “Yes.”

Shen Xingliu’s impression of Zhu Yi is complicated. Starting from the good of the master, Shen Xingliu actually didn’t want the prince, Princess Shang Xizhen. Marrying this princess would not only not bring benefits to the prince, but would increase the constraints of the prince. But when the prince was with Princess Xizhen, the smile was obviously much more. From this aspect, Shen Xingliu hoped that the prince could have the princess.

Zhu Yi slept until the end of the night. If Xie Ying had not asked Wen Yan to wake her up, she would still be able to sleep.

Only Zhu Yi and Wen Yan ate dinner. Zhu Yi looked around and asked, “Where’s the prince?”

Wen Yan said: “The prince has an appointment tonight.” Seeing that Zhu Yi was still looking at her, Wen Yan added: “I heard from Shen Xingliu that it seems to be with the prince and the prince who made trouble in Yeguanglou last time. male.”

Zhu Yi blushed, and she didn’t ask if it was a man or a woman. After reacting, he said, “Brother Huang has also returned to Beijing.”

Wen Yan said, “Well.”

Zhu Yi nodded, there are some things in the capital that need to be handled by the prince on behalf of the emperor, and the prince often runs on both sides. She buried herself in eating her own.

Then Zhu Yi suggested that he wanted to go shopping, digest and digest food, and said warmly: “Princess, the prince said that you can’t go far, just ask the princess to walk around.”

Zhu Yi naturally agreed that if it wasn’t necessary, she would not embarrass Wen Yan.

Zhu Yi bought a candied gourd and nibbled while walking. A familiar figure sat by the window of the opposite tavern. She called out twice, her voice drowned in the crowd, and Zhu Yi entered the tavern and patted the other person’s shoulder: “Rong Xiao!”

The young man raised his head blankly and saw the person in front of him. His stagnant 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.” Seeing that he was in a trance before, Zhu Yi was obviously using alcohol to relieve his worries, guessing that there was another pickling incident at his house, 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 and did not stop it. Wen Yan frowned.

Although Rong Xiao loved Zhu Yi in the past, he always abide by his duty as a monarch and minister, and treats Zhu Yi like a fairy in a dream, never dared to give birth to a half-star Qi Nian, for fear of blaspheming her. Because of this, Zhu Yi was able to get along with him for two years, and he believed in him extraordinarily.

But after today’s noon, Zhu Yi’s soft voice lingered in his mind. He is no longer as magnanimous towards Zhu Yi now. When he looked at Zhu Yi’s face, he could imagine how touching her expression was when she made that soft voice.

Rong Xiao knew that he should retreat in spite of difficulties. Since Zhu Yi allowed Xie Ying to touch her, it means that her heart has been captured by Xie Ying. He not only hated Xie Ying for breaking the most holy flower in his heart, but also felt sorry for Zhu Yi’s ignorance of self-love.

But his feelings for Zhu Yi did not fade in any way. Therefore, when Zhu Yi choked on his wine, his face flushed and he coughed continuously, Rong Xiao was still distressed, and said to the shop assistant, “Give this girl another jar of pomegranate flower wine.”

Zhu Yi complained: “Why don’t you say anything? Drink such a strong wine, and I have to call a carriage to take you back later.”

Rong Xiao chuckled: “No, it’s not like you don’t know how much I drink.”

But when the two parted ways, Rong Xiao was still drunk. He drank too much before Zhu Yi came, and now he has all the stamina. Zhu Yi wanted to send Rong Xiao back in person, but her eyes were dazzled and her legs were trembling, so she used the last bit of sanity to ask Wen Yan to find a car for Rong Xiao. She propped her face with one hand and sat blankly at the table.

When Wen Yan threw Rong Xiao into the carriage, paid the money, turned around and entered the tavern to take a look, she felt a cold heart, and Zhu Yi, who was sitting at the table, was gone.

Knowing how much the prince valued the princess, Wen Yan was so terrified that her whole body trembled, and she pulled the shop assistant who was sweeping the floor next to her by the collar: “Where’s the girl sitting at this table just now?” Zhu Yi was so drunk. Absolutely no way to go.

The little Er panicked: “I, I don’t know. I just came out of the kitchen.”

Wen Yan immediately rushed out of the tavern again. There were people coming and going, but they were all unfamiliar faces, and there was half a shadow of Zhu Yi.

Thank you, JO, walking around, a squirrel, being woken up by Emperor Zunshuai every day, Mengmengda, Qiongtai, YH, Sansheng III, Hua Lanxiao, I love my dear Lei, and the little angel who put in nutrient solution

Author: The male protagonist surnamed Xie. Yesterday I just said that Rong Xiao is not the second male lead. As a result, the little fairies asked who was the second male lead, hoping that the second male lead would be released soon! What are your thoughts on this?

Xie Ying: Haha. Come on, I also want to know who the second male is. Said I would kill him before he even appeared.

.

I thought that Xie Ying was very favored by the little angel. After all, people praised him every day. As a result, as soon as the word male second came out, he was instantly beaten out of his original shape. Report it, there are two important male supporting roles behind, but I don’t think there is a second male lead. The male lead’s position is very stable.
