Regarding his rash proposal for marriage.
She was also simmering with anger.
If we could have a fight, it would be a good time to vent.
It would be even better if you could take the opportunity to beat him half to death.
Xie Xun saw her intention and couldn't help but smile and lean on the pillar under the porch and said: "I've been busy for a day and I'm tired. Let's do it tomorrow."
Chen Anning said contemptuously: "Trash!"
"It's useless to use aggressive methods on me. Go back and rest quickly." Xie Xun teased.
Chen Anning stabbed him a few more times, and finally gave up after seeing that he was really indifferent.
Looking at her retreating back, Xie Xun pursed his lips tightly: It seems that he can only use force.
Looking up at the moonlight, which was as bright as a jade plate, Xie Xun's expression turned grim.
When it gets dark.
He enters the darkroom.
The original intention was to check whether Chunhua Pavilion had used the darkroom to do anything illegal, and to arrest Song Fu and lock him up for a few days to teach him a lesson.
But once you enter the darkroom.
Smelling the smell of blood floating in the air.
He knew there was a case coming.
But at first, he thought it was just Song Fu who heard the news and killed people while escaping.
He still thought so when he found the source of the bloody smell, which was the body of the maid.
until--
He followed Song Fu's traces of escape.
When he saw the carriage he was riding in under the moonlight, it looked black from a distance and gray up close, and was one-third smaller than the carriage the eldest princess borrowed from Chen Anning, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Looking at the direction of the carriage, his face suddenly darkened.
Asking the accompanying guards to pay attention to hiding their traces, he followed the carriage more and more nimbly.
The carriage was traveling extremely fast.
After passing through Chongye Yongda Street, Huaizhen Xuanyi Street, Yanfu Yongan Street and Jiahui Yongping Street, quickly go south along Guanghua Street.
When we reached Hepingfang, the speed gradually slowed down.
The carriage entered the west gate of Hepingfang.
When he was about to follow in, he was keenly aware that someone was secretly monitoring him.
And there are a lot of people.
After quickly retreating to a distance and asking the accompanying guards to stay put, he sneaked into Hepingfang alone.
Hepingfang looks quiet and lonely at night.
He quickly tracked the direction of the carriage.
The carriage stopped at the back door of an ordinary residence in the center of Hepingfang Main Street.
Although he was careful, he still felt pressure from all directions as he approached the carriage.
All the homes here, especially those close to where the carriages stopped, were built to protect the homes where the carriages stopped!
After having this guess.
He did not approach the carriage rashly again.
Instead, he chose to hide his figure on a locust tree a few feet away from the carriage, and looked down at the house where the carriage was parked.
The house was ordinary and dilapidated, and seemed no different from the surrounding houses.
But under his calmness, he could vaguely hear the roar of a beast!
There is an underground colosseum hidden here!
With this discovery, he immediately left Hepingfang without hesitation, rushed back to Chunhua Pavilion with his guards, and then came to the Chen family.
Underground Colosseum, missing boys and girls, no need to guess how complicated the situation inside is!
Except for Chen Anning, ordinary gangsters couldn't handle the situation inside.
But to be able to open the Colosseum and rob so many boys and girls, the background of the mastermind must not be simple.
Chen Anning is now powerless.
If he wanted to let her participate in solving the case, and at the same time protect her, the only way was to bring her under the wings of the Guangling Palace.
As for Chen Anning's rejection...
This was what he expected.
But this case must be hers.
So, no matter how much she refuses, she has to join.
Looking up at the moon again, Xie Xun stood up, pointed a little on his toes, and was suddenly out of Chen's house.
He got on the horse, and under the respectful eyes of the porter, he patted the horse's back twice and galloped away again.
This time the target is the palace.
The palace door has already been locked.
Xie Xun threw the specially awarded gold medal to the guard guard and waited for almost half an hour before he was ordered to enter the palace gate.
Dragon Palace.
Emperor Yuan Yuan, who had just turned fifty, was wearing a bright yellow silk nightgown, half leaning on the dragon bed, sipping some tea, looking at Xie Xun striding in, a hint of joking appeared on his majestic face: " You disturbed my dreams in the middle of the night, tell me, what privilege do you want this time?"
Xie Xun clasped his hands perfunctorily, pulled out his chair, and said to Chang Fu, the chief eunuch who was serving beside the dragon bed: "Go and get me some food. I'm so busy now that I don't even care to drink water. I'm almost hungry." died."
Chang Fu looked at Emperor Qianyuan.
Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and ask him to prepare more."
After Chang Fu left, Xie Xun bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qianyuan snorted, "Go ahead."
Xie Xun poured himself a cup of tea slowly and drank it, then said slowly: "I don't want any privileges this time, I just want an imperial edict."
This is strange.
Emperor Qi Yuan immediately sat up straight and asked with great interest: "Let me guess, what you want to ask for is the decree of marriage to the disciple of the miracle doctor who gave birth to a child with you, right?"
Xie Xun paused to add tea, and then said: "The Emperor is indeed wise and powerful!"
Emperor Yuan laughed twice, happily accepted his flattery, and asked with increasing interest: "You are the third son of the Guangling Palace, and you are the Minister of Dali Temple who I promoted against all the opinions. You want to get married, I guess you must No young lady from any family can refuse. Now, in the middle of the night, you still come to me to ask for a marriage decree. Could it be that the disciple of the miracle doctor who knows nothing about heaven and earth rejected you?"
Although the marriage proposal to Chen Anning was for official business.
But being teased by Emperor Qi Yuan in such a blatant way still made Xie Xun feel a little unhappy.
Emperor Qianyuan looked at his stinky face and couldn't help laughing: "It seems I guessed it right."
Xie Xun snorted and said nothing.
Emperor Qi Yuan laughed and scolded: "You are the only one who dares to be so presumptuous in front of me. My incompetent sons are like mice when they see me."
Xie Xun said calmly: "The arrogance is based on strength. Who can make me so capable?"
Emperor Qi Yuan snorted: "Listening to what you said, are you scolding my son for not being able to do it?"
"Your Majesty has misunderstood me. I am envious that they have a good father who can take care of everything for them so that they can have food and clothing without having to worry about anything. How can I be like you?" Xie Xun played with his tea cup lazily. He said, "I can't rely on anyone. I can only rely on my own hard work through wind and rain to have a hot meal."
Emperor Qiyuan said angrily: "Your grandfather is the Taifu, your father is the Shangshuling, your aunt is my queen, your eldest brother is the sacrificial wine of the Imperial Academy, and your second brother is the prefect of Nanjun. Such a glorious family, looking at the world, I can’t find a few, how dare you tell me that you can’t rely on anyone?”
"How did you, the Minister of Dali Temple, get here? Don't say you don't know!"
Xie Xun put down his teacup and argued: "My father asked the emperor for my identity as minister of Dali Temple. But the emperor asked, is it because I have the ability that the emperor agreed?"
This principle is correct.
but……
Emperor Qianyuan snorted: "There are many capable people. Can I treat each of them the same as I treat you, and promote them regardless of the opposition of the ministers?"
"When it comes to investigating and solving cases," Xie Xun said proudly, "there are really few people in this world who are more capable than me."
Emperor Qi Yuan was silent for a moment.
Because what he said is indeed true.
However, facts are facts. Seeing him so proud... Emperor Qianyuan criticized calmly: "Since you are so outstanding, I wonder how the disciple of the miracle doctor rejected you?"
