"Drink less in the future, especially with people like him. Do you still want me to remind you?"
Xie Wanyu looked at him slightly drunkenly, "What kind of person is he?"
"What do you think?"
Tai Shuqi suddenly leaned forward and blew his warm breath on her face.
Seeing the enlarged face, Xie Wanyu was in a daze. This person...
I have to admit, he looks really good.
Suddenly, there was a sound of the door opening, and Zhu Fang came from outside, mumbling.
"Madam, I heard that the Marquis and the old lady had a quarrel."
Xie Wanyu suddenly came to her senses and reached out to push the person in front of her to stand up.
Maybe it was because he moved too quickly, or because he drank too much, Xie Wanyu felt a little dizzy, and she stumbled a few times before she managed to steady her body.
Zhufang walked into the inner room carrying the pastries. When she looked up, she saw Taishu Ai, stunned.
"Wang, your lord?"
Xie Wanyu coughed lightly and said, "You girl is getting more and more unruly. You don't bow quickly when you see King Qin!"
"This slave has met the prince." Zhufang came back to her senses and hurriedly squatted down to salute.
"Well, let's get up." Tai Shuqi put his hands behind his back and said in a cold voice.
Xie Wanyu picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, then she remembered that there was someone else.
"Do you want to eat, Your Majesty?"
She was just asking casually, but unexpectedly, Tai Shuqi took the pastry from her hand and put it into her mouth.
“It tastes okay.”
"you……"
She had bitten that pastry.
"Ask the small kitchen to prepare a bowl of hangover soup and deliver it." Tai Shuqi ordered.
Zhu Fang responded, turned around and walked out.
Xie Wanyu was sober now and didn't know what to say, so she could only keep eating pastries to cover up her embarrassment.
"Xiao Jing was reprimanded by the emperor a few days ago, and he was punished to go home to think about his mistakes. He will not have to go to court in the near future, and he was deprived of half of his military power and his salary was halved." Tai Shuyi sat opposite her and said.
"so what?"
Tai Shuqi raised his eyes to look at her, and then said: "So I must have a plot against you. I hope that I can use the power of the Xie family to say something nice to him in the court so that he can return to the court as soon as possible."
"Haha, who dares to get into trouble now." Xie Wanyu sneered.
His wishful thinking was really good. No wonder he kept running here recently and slandered her for having an affair with other people. I am afraid he wanted to use this as a threat to get the Xie family to help him return to the court.
Tai Shuyi lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me."
"No need."
Tai Shuqi raised his eyes to look at her, his deep black pupils shining with an inexplicable light.
Xie Wanyu raised her lips and smiled softly, "That's right, we are just grasshoppers in the same boat."
"In that case, it will be a pleasure to work together."
Happy cooperation?
Xie Wanyu looked at the man in front of her with a confused but charming smile.
Tai Shuqi had already stood up and walked outside.
Xie Wanyu blinked and kept up with him, "Happy cooperation? My lord, are you sure? I remember that there seems to be no cooperation between us."
Uncle Tai stepped back and looked back at her, "You know what I mean."
Xie Wanyu pouted and continued to chase forward.
"What do I know? Why are you always like this, saying things that make people confused?"
"Think slowly."
Tai Shuyi raised his eyebrows, looked at her with a half-smile, and soon disappeared into the dark night.
When Zhu Fang came in with sobering soup, Xie Wanyu was the only one left in the room.
"Madam, the prince has left?"
"Um."
Xie Wanyu glanced at her upon hearing the sound, reached for the bowl of sobering soup, drank it all in one gulp, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.
"take a break."
"yes."
Zhu Fang packed up her things and exited the inner room.
After Xie Wanyu lay on the bed, she turned sideways and looked at the top of the curtain. Tai Shuqi's appearance suddenly appeared in her mind, and inexplicable thoughts surged in her heart.
In the middle of the night, in the silent night, the cold wind blew.
The person who was sleeping in a daze seemed to hear a noise.
"What happened?"
Xie Wanyu rubbed her sleepy eyes, put on some clothes and walked outside.
Zhu Fang immediately went to greet him, "A group of official officers came from outside the mansion just now, saying they wanted to arrest fugitives..."
"Fugitive? What fugitive?" Xie Wanyu frowned.
"I don't know. It is said that he escaped from prison. He seems to be a murderer who kills without batting an eye." Zhu Fang said.
Xie Wanyu was confused, "I know, you should also be careful."
Zhufang nodded.
"Go and find out."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xie Wanyu returned to her dormitory to rest. She kept her eyes closed while waiting for the news.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the curtains were lifted and dropped, blocking the bright moonlight.
"who!"
Xie Wanyu quickly stood up, with a cold sword pressed against her throat.
"Ma'am, don't get excited." A strange voice came.
Xie Wanyu squinted her eyes and stared at the figure in front of her, "Who are you."
"Hasn't Madam already sent someone to inquire?"
"Are you the person who is wanted to be arrested outside?" Xie Wanyu looked at him with her eyes.
I didn't feel any hostility or ferocity, and he didn't look like a murderer who killed without blinking an eye.
"Madam, you don't seem to believe it?" The man raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
"Believe it, your sword is at my neck, why should I not believe it?" Xie Wanyu didn't look scared at all, but looked very calm.
When the man saw her like this, he suddenly chuckled, "What an interesting woman."
While the two were talking, Zhufang walked in from outside.
The man picked up the sword, quickly rolled over on the bed and hid inside, took out the dagger and put it at her waist.
"Freeze said."
A slight warning sound came.
Zhufang was about to light the candle in the room, but Xie Wanyu stopped her and said, "No, how is the search outside?"
"I heard that the officers and soldiers who were searching had a dispute with the Marquis. When the two were in a stalemate, the King of Jin came." Zhu Fang told everything that happened outside.
"Prince Jin?"
"Exactly."
"Why is he here?" Xie Wanyu frowned.
It seems that this person's identity is unusual, he may be more than just a murderer.
Otherwise, why would even King Jin be alarmed?
"Where is the search now?"
"The King of Jin took people to search the west courtyard, and the others have already come this way." Zhu Fang replied.
When Xie Wanyu heard that Prince Jin had gone to the West Courtyard, a mocking smile appeared on her lips.
I'm afraid that the search in the west courtyard will not be completed so quickly. After all, the time is too short and some things are difficult to handle.
"I know, go down."
Zhu Fang bowed her head and retreated.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, the man relaxed and said, "You know what's going on."
"How do you provoke King Jin?"
The man heard this and sneered, "No one from the royal family is good."
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but think of Tai Shuqi, and couldn't help denying it, "That's not necessarily the case."
"Since ancient times, members of the royal family have been ruthless and unjust. Which emperor has not stepped on the bones of his brothers to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor?"
"In this world, the weak are the strongest, and those who achieve great things will use all possible means." Xie Wanyu slowly sat down on the couch.
"Hmph! Even so, you shouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately and treat human life with care."
His tone was full of hatred for the royal people.
Xie Wanyu knew what he must have gone through, and would not advise others to let go without others suffering.
Just like her, it would be impossible for her to let go of the hatred in her heart if she were to live another life.
