Xie Shian was picked up by Qiu Tong and thrown to the ground.
He fell down, got up again, raised his head and said, "I came to see General Yun off, but I didn't show up because I didn't have the right identity."
Chu Yi's eyes showed a chill.
The coldness struck Xie Shian's face like a sword.
His mind couldn't help but tighten, he had such a strong murderous aura.
He clearly felt that King Pingxi was going to kill him.
Just because he appeared where he shouldn't.
Xie Shi'an couldn't help but take a step back, opened his lips and said: "I just arrived, I didn't hear anything..."
He had indeed just arrived on the official road, and before he could eavesdrop, Yun Silin and the Eighth Prince had already left...
Of course Chu Yi knew that he had just arrived.
He wanted to kill Xie Shi'an, not because Xie Shi'an appeared here, but because he had long wanted to deal with this person.
Just by chance, Xie Shian bumped into him.
"Your Majesty."
Yun Chu spoke, held Chu Yi's hand, and shook his head gently.
Chu Yi instantly put away the evil spirit on his body.
Xie Shian breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Chu took two steps forward, looked at him with his eyes, and then fell on his collar: "Didn't you join Prince Gongxi's palace as a staff member a long time ago? Why are you still wearing patched clothes?"
Xie Shi'an instantly became restrained and turned his head uncomfortably to cover the patch on his collar.
Although he entered Prince Gongxi's palace, he was ostracized and bullied by almost everyone in the palace because he was trusted by Prince Gongxi at a young age.
After receiving the monthly certificate every month, he had to use money to treat those people to dinner and drinks to ease the relationship, so as to prevent those people from saying anything wrong about him in front of the prince.
All the money is spent on maintaining relationships, and all I can do is feed and clothe myself.
The color of the collar patch was obviously the same as the fabric. He didn't know how his mother could tell.
Perhaps his mother was so meticulous because she cared about him.
"It seems that King Gongxi is not as generous as the outside world said." Yun Chu shook his head, "It is not a good place to go."
Xie Shian smiled bitterly: "Then where else can I go?"
Yun Chu's lips opened and closed, then opened and closed, and then sighed: "I promised to keep her secret, that's all."
Xie Shian keenly felt that this "she" should be related to him.
He hurriedly said: "Princess, please speak frankly. I will definitely not spread the word."
Yun Chu hesitated for a while and whispered: "You are siblings. I believe you will not tell this matter to outsiders."
Xie Shian's heart suddenly stopped.
Wasn't his sister Xie Ping guarding the tomb of Prince Anjing in the imperial mausoleum? What happened?
Could it be that he is dead or crazy...
"Sister Ping...she..." Yun Chu paused and said, "She is now Concubine Wu of the East Palace."
"What?!"
Xie Shian was shocked.
He thought Yun Chu was going to tell him that Xie Ping died unexpectedly and that he needed to go to the imperial mausoleum to collect the body.
He was still thinking whether he should handle this matter himself or let Xie Shiwei handle it...
I never expected to hear this news.
How could his eldest sister, who had never had any brains, change from the fourth princess to the prince's wife?
"I think you can seek refuge with the Crown Prince." Yun Chu said softly, "With Ping'er paving the way for you, your life under the Crown Prince should be easier. At least, you won't have to wear patched clothes."
Xie Shian was stunned.
He has already stood against his mother and chosen to work for King Gongxi, but his mother is still worried about whether he can wear good clothes.
He hadn't felt such care in a long, long time.
For a moment, I had mixed feelings.
"Thank you...Princess."
He lowered his head.
It was impossible for him to seek refuge with the prince.
In his opinion, the prince is as stupid as a pig, and now everything goes smoothly because of the queen. Once something happens to the queen, the prince will be deposed.
There was no way he would choose a boat that was destined to capsize.
"No matter what choice you make, we are all on opposite sides. Just follow your heart." Yunchu said, "But please remember, you must keep Ping'er's secret."
After she finished speaking, she lifted up her skirt and got on the carriage, and Chu Yi followed suit.
After the carriage had gone a little distance, Qiu Tong, who was sitting at the door of the carriage, asked: "After the princess told Xie Shi'an, isn't she worried that Xie Shi'an will use Xie Ping to instigate the crown prince and Prince Gongxi to join forces?"
Chu Yi said: "A low-level counselor and a concubine who takes on someone else's identity. Even if these two people have great abilities, they cannot influence the thoughts of the two princes."
Yun Chu smiled: "Xie Shi'an knows such a big secret, and he will definitely make the most of it."
It's a pity that Xie Ping is an uncontrollable person, and King Gongxi may not be willing to listen to Xie Shi'an's advice in everything.
She was also curious about what would happen next.
"Father just issued a decree, asking me to go to the Ministry of Industry for training." Chu Yi turned to the topic, "I may be a little busy recently, so you don't have to wait for me to have dinner at night."
Yun Chu nodded.
The Ministry of Industry is the least valued among the six ministries. It is in charge of farming, water conservancy, civil engineering, transportation, etc. It is not taken seriously by the superiors, but it is very popular among the people.
She thought this was a good place to go.
While the two were talking on the road, Xie Shian also returned to the capital and Prince Gongxi's Mansion.
He was a staff member of the palace, and he could enter through the side door by showing his token. When he walked to King Gongxi's study, he saw many people waiting in the courtyard.
These people waiting here are all staff.
The staff will submit some national policies every day. If they are favored by King Gongxi, they will be greatly rewarded and their status will be improved.
During this period of time, King Gongxi's life was not easy, and so were his staff. They all stood there in fear.
Seeing Xie Shi'an coming, the staff blocked the study door in unison.
Xie Shi'an, who was only thirteen years old and was blind in one eye, had been favored by the prince since he came to the palace, which gave them a strong sense of crisis.
Xie Shian saw their actions.
He is not in a hurry, there is nothing to argue about, and his strength proves everything.
The staff went into the study one by one to report, and then walked out one by one dejectedly, and finally it was Xie Shian's turn.
King Gongxi sat on the chair with an irritable look on his face, his eyes gloomy to the extreme.
Due to the frequent incidents that occurred in the past, he is now unable to gain the trust of his father. He only has the title of prince and does not have any actual duties.
If this continues, the court will be divided between the prince and the third child.
"Your Majesty." After Xie Shi'an saluted, he raised his head and said, "I wonder if I can follow your Majesty into the palace tomorrow?"
King Gongxi frowned: "What do you want to do in the palace?"
"I want to prove something." Xie Shi'an replied, "If this proves to be true, the prince will give the prince a fatal blow."
"Oh?" King Gongxi became interested, "A fatal blow, are you sure it is fatal?"
A smile appeared on Xie Shi'an's face: "If I have any false words, let the prince handle it."
