Xie Jinyan stood up suddenly and headed towards the East Palace with a gloomy expression.
His reaction made Yu Qingwu a little confused. Originally, their plan was to make Xu Zian make a fool of himself at the banquet, and then accuse An of misconduct in front of the palace. However, Xie Jinyan's sudden change seemed to be that he wanted to confront Xu Zian in the East Palace.
Xu Zian used lynching.
Yu Qingwu frowned, feeling frightened in his heart, and hurriedly followed Xie Jinyan's footsteps.
"Your Highness is going to lynch Xu Si in the palace?" She quickly caught up, grabbed Xie Jinyan's arm, looked around, lowered her voice to the lowest level, and called him again, "Your Highness, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion
Although it is just an empty house, it still has some foundation after all. We can’t hurt Xu Si in the slightest if we make him look bad, and even if the Xu family is suspicious, it won’t be easy to say anything.”
"But if you use lynching against him now, and there is no real evidence. Even if you arrest the servant for confrontation, others will probably say that you were beaten into submission. In this case, I am afraid that Xie Qiyun and his party will have to participate in your book.
, then your situation in the DPRK will only become more difficult."
"You really don't have to do this, it's not worth it."
Yu Qingwu's voice was anxious. Unknowingly, the address he addressed to Xie Jinyan changed from 'you' to 'you'. That was not the address a wife addressed to her husband, nor the address a senior sister addressed to a junior brother. It was more like a minister addressing his younger brother.
The title of the prince.
Perhaps the word 'you' stung him, and Xie Jinyan couldn't help but stiffen.
When he turned around and faced the woman's frowning face, her face filled with anxiety and worry for him, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
If in the past, his Qingwu had cared for him so much, he would have been happy.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized that no matter how hard he tried to prove that he loved her, there was still a gap between them, a layer of shackles bound by royal family and ethics.
Staring down at those clear eyes, Xie Jinyan felt a sharp pain in his chest. He was helpless, and a variety of emotions surged in his chest at the same time.
But in the end, he suppressed all these emotions.
He lifted his thin lips, gently stroked her hair, and responded to her softly, "Senior sister, it's worth it. I love you, and I will do my best to protect you, even if I get caught."
"You have to know that my attitude towards you is the attitude of others towards you. If something like this happens today and I can turn a blind eye, what will others think of you? How will they see you?"
"They will think that you are nothing to me. They will think that you are just an empty-headed princess, a chess piece used purely to beat the aristocratic family. They will think that I don't care about you. In this way, those so-called aristocratic families will naturally not care either.
They will respect you. They will unscrupulously harm you. Although most of those aristocratic families are on Xie Qiyun's side, there are inevitably some who want to bet on both sides, and there are also some who are unreasonable and want to take shortcuts to revive themselves.
Family business."
"What's the best shortcut? Marry your daughter to me."
"But as a noble family that considers themselves noble, how could they allow their daughter to be a concubine, let alone a woman who was born in a businessman and had a very bad reputation. Therefore, in order to let their daughter
If you are not wronged, I will naturally attack you. Today we have guarded against Xu Si, but who knows if there will be Xu Wu and Xu Liu tomorrow?"
Xie Jinyan's voice was low, and his usually flirtatious eyebrows became more serious. He looked at the woman in front of him very seriously and said word by word, "Awu, if you want to completely eradicate those unpreventable traps, the best way is to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!"
They all know the consequences of framing the Crown Princess!"
Yu Qingwu originally wanted to give some advice, but at this time, he didn't know how to reply.
Suddenly, I felt a little guilty because of my indifference and estrangement towards Xie Jinyan a few days ago.
She bit her lip tightly, her eyes turning red.
After a moment, she tried her best to control her emotions and swallowed him back with a bit of caution, "But Your Highness, if this happens, I'm afraid it will bring you trouble. At that time, I'm afraid the Sixth Princess will also be resentful of you..."
"If she still knows right from wrong, she won't be angry with me." Before Yu Qingwu could finish her words, the man interrupted her with a deep voice, then held her hand and called her name without any doubt, "Awu, I am you.
My husband, I can’t allow you to be wronged, not even because of my sister.”
"Didn't you also say that? The Xu family has a sister-in-law like Xu Fengxia, which is not a good place to end up. I can't bear to let my sister marry into such a family, but let my wife suffer from my sister's anger.
What?"
"Your Highness..."
Yu Qingwu clasped the big hand that was holding his own, looking at Xie Jinyan's serious face, his voice couldn't help but grow louder.
She originally thought that in Xie Jinyan's heart, power was the most important after all.
She had heard countless stories saying that the emperor's family was the most ruthless, and that the emperor was the most hypocritical and the most interested in interests. At least he would never bring trouble to himself because of a woman.
She thought that Xie Jinyan might be the same way.
Therefore, even if her feelings are somewhat complicated, she has always been on guard against him.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt that maybe she shouldn't be so wary of him, shouldn't always hide something from him, shouldn't... always not trust him so much.
Feeling guilty and bitter in his heart, Yu Qingwu gritted his teeth tighter, trying hard not to let tears roll out.
Seeing her look like this, Xie Jinyan quickly took her into his arms and comforted her gently, "Okay, Ah Wu, don't be like this. What kind of temper do you think you have? You shed tears all the time."
"I am your husband, shouldn't I protect you? Besides, as you said, if I hadn't been willful back then, maybe... you wouldn't need me to protect you."
"Besides, I have a reputation for being ridiculous and cruel. Even if Xu Si is lynched now, those ministers can only give a few words of advice and bear a few infamy. I am not short of those words."
His voice was gentle, and his fingers gently rubbed Qingwu's cheek. Seeing that her eyes were still red, he smiled and coaxed, "Okay, don't be like this. This is nothing like the cold and arrogant Yu Qingwu.
"
Yu Qingwu was originally sentimental, but after being teased like this by Xie Jinyan, a smile finally appeared on his face. He retorted with some embarrassment, "How can I be cold and arrogant anymore? I just didn't want to talk to you at that time. Who told you to be like this?"
So annoying..."
"My lady is right, I am annoying. Thinking about the past, I wish I could slap myself twice..."
"Pfft..." Yu Qingwu couldn't help laughing.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the East Palace.
At that time, Xu Zian was also brought here by Feng Yuan.
"Master Feng, what is the matter with His Highness the Crown Prince summoning me?" Xu Zian didn't know that the matter had been exposed at this time. Hearing that the Crown Prince wanted to see him, his face was full of joy, thinking that maybe what he had told Xie Ruizhi to tell the Crown Prince had worked.
, the prince is afraid that he will be used again.
