Xie Xun did not miss the flash of vulnerability in Qin Rushuang's eyes.
He gently patted Qin Rushuang's shoulder to signal her to calm down, and then turned his attention to the rioting crowd.
"The princess is considerate of what your daughters are going through, so she personally brings gifts and comes to plead with you. I don't have such a good temper."
Although he had just recovered from a serious illness and his face was still a little pale, he had the aura of a superior person all over his body.
The old butler beside him was as quiet as ice. He knew that the prince was really angry.
Xie Xun's eyes were cold, scanning the faces of the troublemakers one by one. Those he saw lowered their heads with guilt and did not dare to say anything.
"When the trial begins, I will summon all the victimized girls to come to court to help accuse the culprit. This is an order, not an invitation."
After speaking, he looked at the crowd again and asked: "Are there any doubts left?
None of those people dared to speak.
In the final analysis, they just bullied the princess because she was a woman and she was provoked by others.
Now that the people in charge are here, they all look as if they are cowardly.
After sending away the rioting crowd, Xie Xun put his hand on Qin Rushuang's shoulders and said, "Go in, you have worked hard these days."
Qin Rushuang had no objection to Xie Xun's closeness. Now she just felt that Xie Xun was awake and the burden on his shoulders was lighter, and she finally felt relieved.
But part of this peace of mind was because of the case, and part of it was because Xie Xun woke up. Even she couldn't tell clearly...
After returning to the palace, Qin Rushuang was anxious to show Xie Xun the clues she had obtained in the past few days, but Xie Xun stopped her, "People below are concerned about these things. Your first priority is to have a good rest."
"Your Majesty, I don't..."
Xie Xun pressed what she was about to say without any refutation.
Then his fingers gently touched her face. Qin Rushuang was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
But Xie Xun's hand did not touch her face in the end, but lightly tapped her eyes.
It's green there.
"You haven't had a good rest in several days, have you? Obey me and go have a good sleep. I will take care of the rest."
This was the first time Xie Xun spoke to Qin Rushuang in such a gentle and undeniable tone. Qin Rushuang was not used to it, but she still felt warm in her heart.
Xie Xun was afraid that she would not want to lie down and rest, so he patted the bed and said, "I will watch you sleep here."
Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun slept on the same bed these days. When Xie Xun fell asleep, she didn't feel anything bad and could sleep peacefully. But now that Xie Xun was awake and sitting next to her, she felt a little unable to sleep.
"Your Majesty..."
"Close your eyes."
"But this case..."
Xie Xun sighed and said helplessly: "Rushuang, close your eyes."
Qin Rushuang closed her eyes, but her thoughts were still active. She just closed her eyes and listened to the sounds in her ears.
Xie Xun's steady breathing sounded next to her ears, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
Xie Xun made sure Qin Rushuang was asleep and made a gesture towards the darkness.
Ying Er, who had been waiting for a long time, handed Xie Xun the evidence and testimonies compiled in the past few days.
…
Qin Rushuang slept so darkly that she didn't even eat dinner. When she woke up again, it was already early morning the next day.
Genius Mengmeng Liang, Qin Rushuang woke up and keenly felt a warm body next to her, and when she turned her head, it was Xie Xun who was sleeping peacefully.
"The prince is finally awake! There are a lot of things to solve in this case. Hurry up and go to Dali Temple with me!"
Shen Xiaoyang came in a hurry, ran fast, and was still out of breath.
Behind him was Qingzhi's furious voice: "I have already said that the princess and the prince are busy! Master Shen, you are really..."
"Qingzhi!" Qin Rushuang interrupted Qingzhi and felt relieved. Fortunately, someone came to rescue her from this strange atmosphere.
So he said seriously: "Your Majesty, go quickly, business is important."
Xie Xun pretended not to notice her irritation and said in a gentler tone, "Well, I'll come as soon as I go."
