Chapter 259 Good words are hard to persuade a damn ghost
He is a man who holds a sword and follows the prince on the battlefield.
There is really nothing he can do to deal with women other than killing them.
"My lord, what should I do?"
"What do you mean?"
Outside the door, the door curtain was lifted, and Luo Jiuli walked in with a worried expression.
The secret guards in black hurriedly lowered their heads and saluted.
Xiao Mingxuan couldn't bear to see that she was unhappy, so his expression suddenly turned cold, and he stepped forward and took her hand.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
No one in the room dared to say a word at this time and quietly retreated out.
Luo Jiuli shook his head.
"I can't say I'm unhappy, I just feel that there is no need for me to go on this trip."
"Those two women are not ordinary maids of honor at all. I think they must have been inspired by the Queen Mother. Even if they were not the Queen Mother, someone with a high status made a promise to them."
Xiao Mingxuan raised his hand and smoothed her eyebrows.
"I have already thought of this result."
"No one can stop them from dying, and you don't need to blame yourself for being unworthy."
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"It's hard to persuade a damned person with good words, and it's hard to save someone with great mercy. I gave them a chance, but they were too greedy in their hearts."
"Your Majesty."
Luo Jiuli pulled down his hand.
"I heard from the housekeeper that the news has spread outside."
"Um."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded lightly.
"This is the Queen Mother's consistent method of using the mouths and eyes of the people to create public opinion to achieve her own goals."
"Huh! It's really shameless."
Luo Jiuli smiled coldly.
"Public opinion is always a knife in factional battles."
"When a whale falls, all things come to life. The larger the size, the bigger the problem, everyone, even the inconspicuous people, will add fuel to your fire."
"This is also the reason why the emperor sent people out of the palace to find the prince."
"If two maids with no power to tie a chicken die in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, I'm afraid that the prince will appear out of thin air if he doesn't recognize his relatives, is ruthless, unjust, disrespectful of family relations, and unreasonable."
When Xiao Mingxuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile lightly.
"Your analysis is spot on."
"So, for the sake of my honor as your husband, what is your plan?"
When Luo Jiuli heard that he called himself her husband, he burst into laughter and locked his beautiful face with a pair of clear and beautiful eyes.
"Secrets must not be revealed."
"Now that I have figured out their thoughts, in the next few days, we should recuperate, eat, and drink."
"When the time comes, they will have their own place to go."
"When you say this, it makes me more curious?"
What kind of plan can change the current public opinion? It can also make the two court ladies leave the palace willingly.
But he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. Although the sending of these two court ladies made him feel sick and sick, it still gave him and Luo Jiuli a chance to be alone.
It even made him worry about Luo Jiuli being involved in the investigation of Tan Mo Shiyin. Now that she is by his side, he can not only protect her well, but also love his children. How could he waste his good time in vain?
.
With this thought in mind, he gave a fake cough, hugged Luo Jiuli in his arms, and buried his head in the crook of her neck.
"Now, I am a person infected with the cold and my body is weak. You must protect my safety and don't let those two women succeed."
Luo Jiuli felt a numbness on his neck and smiled helplessly.
"My prince is addicted to pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. There are no outsiders here."
Xiao Mingxuan naturally ignored her teasing.
"It's because there are no outsiders that it's a rare moment for two of us."
Luo Jiuli originally wanted to push him away, but after hearing this, she raised her hand and quietly placed it on his back.
Being able to make the majestic God of War Prince show his softest and truest side in front of him shows that he really likes her and likes her enough to trust her without any defense.
"How are things going with Qin Yin?"
"Still checking, and found many problems."
Xiao Mingxuan's voice turned cold.
"I'm afraid the deeper this matter is investigated, the more it will be implicated."
Luo Jiuli's heart became heavy when he thought of what happened to Uncle He, and of those corrupt officials who ate human flesh and drank human blood, and even spared no money from the dead.
Xiao Mingxuan could feel the sudden change in her mood. He raised his head, held her shoulders, stared at her eyebrows, and said softly.
"Li'er, do you believe me?"
Luo Jiuli was startled, looked at his stern look, nodded and said:
"believe."
"Okay, since you believe me, you don't need to worry about this matter. I will handle it, no matter who it is? If you don't peel off his skin, wouldn't you be letting down the soldiers who followed me on the battlefield?"
"Um."
Luo Jiuli nodded solemnly.
In fact, she didn't know how difficult and dangerous this matter was. What she was trying to do this time was the job of those greedy people. As long as those people did a little probing, they would know that she was the one responsible for this matter.
And he comforted her and took over everything, just to protect her under his wings.
As for the two imperial concubines in the West Courtyard, does he really have no means to deal with them?
No, he would not be led by the Queen Mother in the past, and he will not be led by the Queen Mother now either.
Leaving the two harems to guide the maids was just a cover-up. Only in this way could we have an excuse to take her into the palace and protect her from the wind and rain.
At this time, soldiers from Beijing were deployed in the yamen.
"Sir, what should we do now? The Ninth Prince's people are secretly investigating this moment."
Behind the desk is an old man who is over sixty years old. He has a gold-inlaid jade crutch at his side, his long beard is half hanging down, and his eyelids are drooped downward, as if he is closing his eyes to meditate.
This old man was none other than the empress dowager's brother, Grand Sima Hu Jue.
The middle-aged man standing opposite was Jiang Fengnian, the head of the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War.
Apart from these two people, there were no other outsiders in the house.
"What are you panicking about?"
Hu Jue opened his eyes lightly, his eyes were bright and majestic.
"Let me ask you, have you personally participated in this matter?"
Jiang Fengnian shook his head.
"Not yet."
"Since you are not personally involved, if you find out, just shirk the matter altogether. As for you-"
Hu Jue blew on the hot water in the teacup and raised his eyelids to look at Jiang Fengnian.
"It's just that I overcharged someone's money by a few taels without knowing it."
"Take those scraps of silver and perform a 'sacrifice'. This matter has nothing to do with you."
When Jiang Fengnian heard this, his pale face gradually turned pale. He probably wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he seemed to feel something was inappropriate and silently closed his mouth again.
"Yes, thank you for your advice, sir."
As for doing "faithful things", it is nothing more than letting the money in your hand be sent to the hands of those who can settle the matter.
