Prime Minister Zuo snorted coldly, "It is rumored that Princess Yu has been crazy since she was a child. Why did Prince Yu let her go out? If she wasn't crazy, how could Princess Chen be so angry that she was unconscious for a long time?"
The Zuo Xiang is the father of Princess Chen. To make the Zuo Xiang so angry and read his book during the court session also shows one thing. Something must have happened when Xiaoer went to the Chen Palace yesterday.
I don’t know if Xiaoer suffered a loss because he took a few people out yesterday.
A cold light flashed in Xiao Ji's eyes, "I don't know what happened to Princess Chen, nor does the Prime Minister Zuo. Only the people in Prince Chen's palace know what happened at that time. Since Prime Minister Zuo keeps saying that Princess Chen's coma is caused by the madness of my princess, Sincerely, let the people in Prince Chen’s palace speak, instead of just relying on the words of Prime Minister Zuo.”
"Prince Yu, I am not..."
Before Zuo Xiang finished speaking, the emperor interrupted coldly, "Let Prince Chen tell you, what is going on?"
Eunuch Li said: "Your Majesty, Prince Chen did not come to court today. I heard that his old illness has recurred and he is recuperating in his mansion."
Xiao Che's old illness often relapsed and he did not come to court, so the emperor did not suspect him.
"Then let him have time to write a memorial and submit it."
Eunuch Li bowed and said, "It's the Emperor."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Retreat from the court."
After the emperor left, the civil and military officials slowly exited.
Prime Minister Zuo looked at Xiao Ji who was walking in front, his eyes full of indignation, "Prince Yu, I won't just let this matter go."
Prime Minister Zuo dared to talk to Xiao Ji like this blatantly because he knew that Xiao Ji was not favored.
Over the years, everyone in the court understood that Xiao Ji, Prince Yu, was just in name only. He had no real power and could be stepped on by anyone.
Xiao Ji understands this truth better than anyone else. Only by climbing to the top and mastering the imperial power can no one dare to bully him.
Xiao Ji stopped and glanced at Zuo Xiang, who was walking up. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"This is what I want to say to the left prime minister."
Xiao Ji left behind a word and strode away.
The Prime Minister Zuo looked livid, "You are just an unpopular prince. Sooner or later, I will make you regret your actions today."
Back at Prince Yu's Mansion, Xiao Ji went straight to Chu Yuwan.
Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant in the Chuyu Garden. As soon as you step in, you feel like you have entered a paradise.
Xiao Ji often comes to store jade wands in the dead of night. Although he also comes during the day, it's just not that big of a change.
Ever since Fu Yuanxiao moved into Chu Yuwan, it can be said that every day has changed.
The flowers and plants in the yard were all added after Fu Yuanxiao came in.
I heard from the housekeeper privately that Fu Yuanxiao had a gardener by his side, whom Fu Yunting paid a lot of money to make the yard comfortable and pleasant.
It also shows that Fu Yunting really dotes on this daughter.
Xiao Ji strode along the bluestone road and saw two figures standing in the pavilion from a distance. He took a closer look and found that it was Fu Yuanxiao and...her attendant Xie Yao.
As a servant, how unbecoming it is to be so close to your master!
Xiao Ji walked over with a gloomy face.
"Xia'er."
When Fu Yuanxiao heard the sound, he raised his head and looked outside the pavilion. He found that the person coming was Xiao Ji, and the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, but when he thought that he had lied to him, the smile that had just raised disappeared.
This scene was caught in Xiao Ji's eyes, but if he thought about it carefully, he would understand what was going on.
Yesterday, when she went to Prince Chen's Mansion, she must have known about Fu Yinshuang's smallpox infection.
But he did not tell and deliberately concealed it.
This person should be angry.
Just like a child, happiness and unhappiness are all written on that immature face.
When Xie Yao saw Xiao Ji coming, he bowed and exited the pavilion.
Xiao Ji glanced coldly at Xie Yao who was exiting, looked at Fu Yuanxiao, and walked in.
"Why are you so close to this servant?"
Fu Yuanxiao said confidently, "When I talk to him, of course I have to be closer, otherwise how can I hear him?"
Xiao Ji frowned, "You are the princess, do you need to be so close when talking?"
Fu Yuanxiao recalled talking to Xie Yao just now. He didn't feel how close he was to him. He always felt that Xiao Ji was deliberately looking for trouble.
"Are you unhappy?"
Xiao Ji snorted coldly, knowing that he was unhappy and not stupid.
"Um."
"No wonder he spoke so hastily. It turns out he was in a bad mood. Who can't make him angry?"
"..."
Xiao Ji thought she knew, but it turned out she didn't.
Fu Yuanxiao reached out and tugged on his sleeve, "Why don't you speak?"
Xiao Ji still said with a calm expression: "Don't allow other men to get so close to me in the future, do you understand?"
"You speak so strangely. When I talk to Xie Yao, we are not standing close to each other. Why do you always say that we are standing very close to each other?"
Fu Yuanxiao looked up and down at the distance between each other, "That's how close we are."
Xiao Ji: "..."
It is indeed different from what children say.
"Then stand farther away, I won't like it."
Fu Yuanxiao felt that Xiao Ji was a little unreasonable. He stared at him for a long time and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you? You are talking strangely today, as if you are deliberately looking for trouble."
Xiao Ji looked at her helplessly, "You don't need to ask so many questions. Keep a distance when talking to men in the future."
Before Fu Yuanxiao could speak, Xiao Ji said again: "You went to Prince Chen's Mansion yesterday, but what happened?"
Fu Yuanxiao looked at him in surprise, "You know?"
"Well." Xiao Ji asked, "Tell me what happened when you went to Prince Chen's Mansion, or did you have a dispute with Princess Chen?"
Fu Yuanxiao saw that Xiao Ji knew about it and didn't hide it anymore, "It's not a dispute. She spoke badly and called me a fool. She also called my eldest sister a vixen and cursed her. I just replied a few words and then left. , did not argue with her."
Xiao Ji knew that Xiao'er was not the kind of person who liked to make trouble. Even if she didn't understand anything, she wouldn't speak rudely.
"Any more?"
Fu Yuanxiao thought for a while, "It seems to be gone, so I told her a few words of truth."
She suddenly remembered the dog, "I also met a very fierce and ugly dog. When it rushed towards me, it was knocked unconscious by Xie Yao's palm, but it didn't hurt me. However, the dog's hair was not as good-looking as Xueyun's. , and not as vicious as Xueyun."
Xiao Ji was secretly glad that Fu Yuanxiao knew how to take Xie Yao with him. Xie Yao was not weak in martial arts and was a hundred times better than taking a few maids.
He had never heard of a dog in Xiao Che's house, so it was a bit strange that such a ferocious dog suddenly appeared.
"That's good."
Xiao Ji paused for a moment before continuing to ask: "What truth did you tell Princess Chen?"
"I said that there was a green-faced and fanged ghost beside her. It would follow her every day. She would be unlucky within three days, and she would be separated soon after. She was so angry that she was half dead." After Fu Yuanxiao finished speaking, he laughed first.
Xiao Ji also laughed when he heard this. No wonder he was frightened, maybe he was very frightened.
"Don't go out secretly again in the future."
Fu Yuanxiao pouted, "You knew that my eldest sister was infected with smallpox, but you didn't tell me. If I hadn't gone to visit secretly, you would have been kept in the dark."
"Smallpox is contagious. What if you go and get infected?" Xiao Ji hugged her into his arms and rubbed her forehead. "You can't even drink the medicine. What will happen then?"
Only then did Fu Yuanxiao realize that Xiao Ji was worried about her, fearing that she would be infected with smallpox.
I heard from Xie Yao that being infected with smallpox is much more uncomfortable than having the disease.
Not to mention taking medicine, she couldn't even smell the medicine.
"I went to visit my eldest sister yesterday, but I didn't enter Qinyuan. Someone was guarding me and wouldn't let me in."
Xiao Ji also guessed that he knew about his father sending people to Prince Chen's Mansion.
He also knew that his father was worried about Xiao Che.
"Still angry?"
Fu Yuanxiao shook his head, "I'm not angry anymore."
"Then go in."
Xiao Ji took her hand and walked out of the pavilion.
At this time, Prince Chen’s Mansion.
Xiao Che couldn't help but frown when he learned that his father-in-law had read a copy of his fourth brother's book in the court.
"It's clear that Li Yingying is wrong, and so is my father-in-law."
"Bring the pen over here. I will write a memorial to my father right now."
"It's the prince." The personal guard took a pen and paper and walked to the bed carrying a low table.
Xiao Che sat up with the help of the guards, with two soft pillows placed behind his back.
I don't even have the strength to hold a pen.
In order not to make the emperor suspicious, he tried to write as straightly as possible.
It took a long time to write a memorial.
After finishing writing, Xiao Che was panting.
With some effort, he handed the memorial to his subordinate, "Send it to the palace."
"It's the prince." The subordinate quickly exited with the memorial in hand.
Xiao Che glanced at the guard, "How is Concubine Fu?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, Concubine Fu's life is no longer in danger, Your Majesty, don't worry," the guard said.
Xiao Che felt a little more at ease and asked again: "How is the investigation going?"
The guard said: "It is no accident that Concubine Fu was infected with smallpox. All the evidence points to the princess."
Xiao Che snorted coldly, he knew that Li Yingying was restless.
He knew she was jealous and didn't like Fu Yinshuang.
I didn't expect him to be so vicious.
"Continue to collect evidence."
"It's the prince."
After the guards walked out, Xiao Che was about to lie down and continue to rest when he saw the guards walking in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, the princess is clamoring at the door and wants to see you."
Xiao Che's eyes flashed with disgust, "If you don't see me, just say that I am unwell."
At the door, Li Yingying held up a handkerchief, cried and shouted: "I want to see the prince, the prince wants to make the decision for me."
The guard came out of the back room and looked at the crying princess, "Princess, the prince is not feeling well, please go back."
Li Yingying cried even more sadly when she heard this, "My lord, how could you let others bully me?"
The guard had a headache when he heard the crying. He raised his voice and reminded: "Princess, the prince is not feeling well and needs to rest."
Li Yingying cried twice and gradually stopped crying after hearing this. She looked at the closed door and felt a little unwilling.
She had been bullied like this, and Xiao Che didn't care.
In the palace, the emperor read the memorial written by Xiao Che and knew what happened.
"Tell Prime Minister Zuo that Princess Chen was at fault first, so let's just let this matter go."
"It's the Emperor." Eunuch Li responded one by one.
Prime Minister Zuo learned from Eunuch Li that Xiao Che had written a memorial and went to help Princess Yu instead of helping his daughter Yingying. His face turned pale immediately and he couldn't say anything in front of Eunuch Li.
After Eunuch Li left, he lost his temper.
Within half a day, Xiao Jibian knew that Xiao Che had explained the matter to his father.
My father might not be so easy to believe other people's words, but my father would definitely believe Xiao Che's words.
Good night, babies!
