Under the scorching sun, the girl's white dress looks like snow, and the skin on her face is almost transparent. Her bright eyes are stained by cinnabar tear moles, which are pure and lustful, and have a place even among the most beautiful women in the world.
Not to mention, she was still very sick, and her whole body exuded a frail and fragile beauty.
This kind of style is hard to see in the world.
But for such a beautiful woman, she is actually a devil.
Just for the sake of a puppet emperor, she first cracked King Qi's ankle, then had Prince Anding beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, making him scream, and now she actually wants to beat so many of them.
You must know that they are all veterans of the two dynasties, and the Yan court will tremble just by saying a few words.
However, Xiao Xiruo didn't care. Xiao Xiruo took a fancy to Shi Wei and Hua Qingsong at first sight and had them dragged out of the team and pressed straight on the bench.
No matter how these old ministers struggled and shouted, she pretended that she was deaf and did not hear them.
Finally, a female voice came from not far away.
I saw that her dress was aqua blue and her manners were full of charm. Although she was already a celebrity around Queen Mother Hua, she still did not forget to walk down the guard of honor quickly, and then bowed to Xiao Xiruo in a proper manner.
"Jin'er has met the imperial concubine."
Looking sideways at Yan Jin'er in front of her, Xiao Xiruo nodded, indicating that she could get up.
However, Yan Jin'er did not get up. Instead, she lowered her body lower and said in a gentle and respectful voice:
"Your concubine is Jin'er's savior. Jin'er knows that you are extremely kind and will never kill innocent people indiscriminately. Therefore, your concubine, please forgive Jin'er for speaking frankly. The veterans of the Hundred Court Staff cannot bear it and are already injured.
King Qi can’t bear it even more.”
Hearing Yan Jin'er mention him, Feng Qi's expression was a little complicated.
But he was already in so much pain that he couldn't speak, so naturally he couldn't care less about what Yan Jin'er said to him.
"Oh? Really?" Xiao Xiruo coughed twice and said without buying into it at all: "I saved you that day just because of Grandpa Jiang's face, and it has nothing to do with whether I am kind or not. I saved you that day.
It’s not the palace, I don’t have it, so don’t talk nonsense~”
Yan Jin'er: "..."
What is this called? Even if you say nice things, the people who listen to the nice words are still not happy.
But Yan Jin'er did not give up. Instead, she was moved with emotion and reason:
"My Lady, the court is in turmoil and the people are displaced. Even if you don't think about the court, you should think about the people and the Xiao family. The Beiyi envoy is going south. If a large number of courtiers in the court are sick in bed, this reception will be difficult.
Just..."
Yan Jin'er stopped talking for a moment, and Yan Jin'er still seemed to speak quickly, but in fact she said deliberately:
"Besides, you have offended so many people at once, aren't you afraid that they will retaliate against you? You are not afraid, but what about the Emperor?"
As soon as the emperor was mentioned, Xiao Xiruo's face really darkened, and then she asked Yan Jin'er:
"Then in the princess' opinion, what should I do today? Just let them go and let them leave the palace in the face of the emperor and me?"
"Of course not."
As Yan Jin'er spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Li Daoqing, the Minister of Punishment among the crowd.
"What the Empress does not know is that in the history of Dayan there was a system that was not written into the laws of Dayan, called 'criminal silver'. This system allows guilty ministers to pay silver to atone for their sins, so that they can be exempted from guilt and continue to serve as officials.
The crime money handed over by officials will be put into the emperor's private treasury and does not need to be merged with the national treasury. Right, Mr. Li?"
Li Daoqing was still a little confused when he was suddenly called by Yan Jin'er.
But when he heard that the other party was talking about "criminal silver", he suddenly felt no longer sleepy.
Yes, there really is!
And the payment is not much, especially in terms of rod punishment, which is worth ten thousand taels of silver. Who here is not rich? A little bit of this from the fingers is enough to redeem themselves.
He was also frightened by the tragic situation in Luliang behind him. How could he forget that the Xiao family was poor?
"Yes, yes, the princess is right, Dayan does have this system!"
After receiving Li Daoqing's approval, Yan Jin'er looked at Hua Qingsong, who was already lying on the bench and was about to be slapped, and then said:
"My Majesty, Jin'er is not talented. I am willing to make the decision for the seven members of the Hua family and hand over 70,000 taels of silver to argue that they are not guilty. I hope that your Majesty, your Majesty, will not remember the faults of villains and can accept this money for the Emperor."
It has to be said that Yan Jin'er's words are becoming more and more pleasant to listen to now, and even Xiao Xiruo was somewhat moved by her sincerity.
Of course, that bit of sincerity can be completely ignored compared to Yan Jin'er's willingness to do what she likes.
"That's all, for the sake of the princess, I will accept these 70,000 taels on behalf of the emperor. Go and name your people and take them away immediately."
Seeing that Xiao Xiruo relented, Yan Jin'er immediately asked the maid to present the banknotes that had been prepared. It wasn't until Xi Yang put them away that he sent someone to help Hua Qingsong up.
When everyone in the Flower Party was led to the palace gate by Yan Jin'er, King Qi who was standing there also panicked.
After all, there are still wounded in their team, and the wounded is their most precious Prince Qi.
So Xie Feng could only lick his old face and said similar words to Yan Jin'er just now.
It's just that they not only want to go out, but also want to ask Xiao Xiruo to help King Qi. It is best to sell them some magic medicine so that King Qi can recover quickly.
After all, the Beiyi delegation will arrive in a few days, and their King Qi still has to lead the team to contact them.
Seeing how humble his uncle was, King Qi obviously wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Daoqing and others.
After spending almost an hour here, they finally came back to their senses.
What happened today was clearly the result of King Xuan's lineage deliberately irritating King Qi, which caused them to suffer such losses. If Xiao Xiruo has soldiers and people at the moment, if they let King Qi act recklessly again, the losses will only be greater than now.
Glancing at King Qi lightly, Xiao Xiruo completely saw his dissatisfaction. So she knocked on the handle, and Xi Yang immediately said in a sharp voice:
"The empress said, twenty thousand taels per person, one hundred thousand taels for a bottle of black jade ointment, no negotiation~"
Xi Yang's words were so unreasonable that Xie Feng didn't even take a breath and directly gave Xiao Xiruo 10,000 negative emotions.
Xiao Xiruo was very satisfied with this, and said at that time that it was only one hundred thousand a bottle, and now it was half a hundred thousand and a half. Xie Feng was so frightened that he quickly took Xi Yang's hand and said that he would write a note to Xi Yang immediately.
The price of 10% silver was not changed, so he immediately asked the deputy commander to pick it up. It was settled, we were settled!
So the deputy commander could only use Qinggong to go back and forth as quickly as possible. He handed over the banknote and asked Xie Feng and others to help Feng Qi out of the palace.
But when the people from King Xuan's lineage wanted to come up to negotiate the price, Xiao Xiruo, who had been sitting on the soft chair, stood up.
She only left the word "beat" to Xi Yang who was watching outside, and then let Bai Zhi help her into the Nourishing Heart Hall.
She is not a fool, she knows that the culprit of today's disaster is not Feng Qi, but Feng Xuan who is hiding behind King Qi.
She doesn't care what Feng Xuan's purpose is, or what Yan Moqing thinks of her.
She wanted Xuan Wang Yimai to know the pain, and it hurt whenever she thought of her.
Stepping into the Yangxin Hall, Xiao Xiruo was enveloped by the elegant and refined cold fragrance. It was very familiar, and it was the smell that she had been missing for the past few days.
But she couldn't go in yet, because a trace of fishy sweetness had overflowed from her throat, dripping, and splashing on the ground with small bloody umbrellas.
Her body was softening, her consciousness was blurring, and the aftereffects of forcibly taking medicine hit her like a mountain, making her miserable...
In a daze, she had been smiling for the past few days. She was chatting and laughing in front of King Qi and others without taking a step back. For the first time, she spoke tremblingly and delicately:
"It hurts so much... Feng Wuyan, it hurts so much..." This chapter has been completed!
