Clearly feeling that his eyes had turned cold, he just put down the tea cup and said coldly: "Why didn't I know before that you were always so good at pretending to be confused?"
The man's pupils suddenly turned red, and a gloomy look flashed between his brows. He stared at the Buddhist scriptures copied by Xie Shu.
Xie Shu's calligraphy is very beautiful, but it doesn't look like her daughter's calligraphy at all.
It's light clouds and flowing water, with a sense of etherealness, and a bit of a man's edge.
"You are so tough-talking. I don't know if your sister-in-law and your nephew are as tough-tongued as you."
He looked very ugly.
Xie Shu felt as if she had been punched by an invisible giant, her face was as pale as paper.
She swallowed, and the complex and obscure thing appeared in her eyes: "I don't know what the prince wants to hear from me."
Aren’t all the Xie family in jail? What else does she want?
Go to hell?
"The prince and the princess had a quarrel, do you want to take it out on me?"
Xie Shu couldn't bear it anymore.
Xie Shu thought she could endure it enough.
But she was still a little irritable. She knew that Gu Suisui had a quarrel with him, and he was unhappy and always looking for trouble.
The moment the words were spoken, Xie Shu regretted a little, and could only lower her head unwillingly, remaining stubbornly silent.
"Ha!" The man sneered. There was no emotion or anger in his cold and calm black eyes, but his tense jaw showed a bit of depression.
"Someone is backing me up, and my temper is getting louder."
Xie Shu held the wolf brush and paused, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Pretending to be confused?" he asked, his tone not sounding good.
Xie Shu frowned: "That's what you think."
Her face was calm, but her heart couldn't help but tighten. Why did Chu Tongshang say this? Did Nangong Yin do something outside?
But she was trapped in the palace and couldn't even get news from the outside world. She could only get some news from Chu Tongshang.
She clenched her fingers and tried to calm her breathing.
Chu Tongshang laughed and said, "Do you want to know what Nangong Yin is doing outside?"
Her pupils shrank, and her voice was tinged with coldness.
"Even if the Eighth Prince is expelled, he is still the king. Is this how the prince behaves as a king?"
I don't know which word struck Chu Tongshang's heart. The man knocked on the table expressionlessly.
"Nangong Yin incurred Emperor Yuan's wrath for you. He was carried out of the Taiji Hall this morning. He has a strong body. It's no problem to come to the Forty Big Board."
Chu Tongshang said these words slowly, with a look of regret on his face, as if it was a pity that Nangong Yin did not die.
Xie Shu's breathing suddenly stopped. After a long pause, she said with a trembling voice: "Because of me?"
Worry and panic flashed in her eyes, which Chu Tongshang clearly caught.
Nangong Yin was punished with a cane for forty times!
How could Emperor Yuan be so cruel to Nangong Yin?
Xie Shu knew that Nangong Yin had a hard time in the palace when he was a child. After arriving in southern Xinjiang, life was just a little harder, but at least he didn't have to be bullied and humiliated by princes with noble backgrounds.
But she didn't expect that the situation never got better.
Now it was because of her that she was beaten again.
Xie Shu held back her breath.
Chu Tongshang's voice was light and airy, as if coming from the distant horizon: "Are you distressed?"
Xie Shu's lips trembled.
She choked, but couldn't utter a word.
She thought Nangong Yin was just talking.
"Let's go, I will take you to the inn to see the Eighth Prince, so that you won't worry about him day and night." His eyes lingered thoughtfully across her neck.
Xie Shu was stunned for a moment, and her heartbeat suddenly became very slow.
His eyes were playful.
It was also at this moment that she knew what he wanted to do. There was still... on her neck.
"Go and wait for me outside the door."
The air in the study was so condensed that it felt like it was freezing. Xie Shu couldn't breathe. She stood up suddenly, turned around and left the study.
She could go see Nangong Yin, but if he took her initiative to take her there, it was definitely not for visiting a doctor.
He watched her leave, and his eyes slowly fell on the copied Buddhist scriptures on the ground.
The ink was still wet, and the handwriting on it didn't look like a woman's handwriting at all.
It flows like clouds and flowing water, but it is vigorous and powerful. Each stroke is almost as powerful as the back of the paper.
Chu Tongshang's lips unconsciously pursed into a straight line, and his eyes darkened little by little.
Xie Shu's handwriting looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
But I couldn't remember it for a while.
…
True to his word, Chu Tongshang actually took Xie Shu into the carriage and went to visit the beaten Nangong Yin in person.
Xie Shu had no choice but to sit in a carriage with him, but she was far away from him. The carriage staggered all the way to the inn.
As soon as Chu Tongshang got on the carriage, he closed his eyes and rested.
Even with her eyes closed, Xie Shu had to admit that since Chu Tongshang experienced the battle at Jiu Ning Mountain, his whole body had become as sharp as a sword and his aura was overwhelming.
In him, she could no longer see the sickly and frail prince that Qingfenglangyue was before.
Xie Shu was fascinated.
Suddenly, the carriage jolted. Xie Shu couldn't sit still and bumped in front of him uncontrollably.
She closed her eyes suddenly, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
The next moment, she had bumped into his chest, and her nose hurt from the collision.
Xie Shu fell back due to inertia, and was caught off guard when a cold finger clasped her wrist firmly.
He raised his eyelids and said in a casual tone, "Throwing yourself into my arms? Don't you want to draw a clear line between you and me?"
Xie Shu frowned, her voice calm.
"I don't dare, slave."
Chu Tongshang snorted coldly and let go of her wrist.
Xie Shu lowered her head and returned to sit on the side of the carriage.
This time, he didn't dare to lose his focus.
When Xie Shu went to the door to wait for Chu Tongshang, she heard about the major events in the capital.
After Nangong Yin came back, the capital caused an uproar because of him, and the past two days had not been peaceful.
In other words, it wasn't because Nangong Yin was uneasy, it was because Nangong Yin did something shocking.
Nangong Yin came back to the capital this time, and Emperor Yuan wanted to marry him.
But in the Tai Chi Palace, he asked to marry a sinner as the prince's concubine!
This angered Emperor Yuan.
Nangong Yin was not unfair at all in these forty battles.
The other four kings did not target him, because he was the person least likely to be established as the crown prince. Even if Emperor Yuan proposed marriage, it would not change the fact that Nangong Yin had no maternal support.
Emperor Yuan was the founding king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the previous dynasty of the Northern Han Dynasty had been suffering from illness for a long time, and the aristocratic family should not be underestimated.
Even the royal family and the aristocratic families don't look at it.
Emperor Yuan finally managed to win over the wealthy families. If the crown prince was someone else, they would not be at ease.
Nangong Yin's mother-in-law, Concubine Xuan, was the spoiled wife of Emperor Yuan before he fought for the world, and she would have been the original wife if she hadn't been.
Emperor Yuan would not even welcome her into the palace, and Concubine Xuan died because she gave birth to Nangong Yin.
Concubine Xuan is just the daughter of a scholar, how can she be compared with Empress Jiang, the richest man in the Northern Han Dynasty?
