"It's right there, Shu'er, go get it."
As soon as she opened the box, a dazzling array of belts appeared in Yu Shuen's eyes.
She searched for her belt and kept mumbling, "Your Highness, are these belts given by girls?"
Xie Zhun did not refute and nodded straightforwardly.
Seeing that Yu Shuen was about to get angry, Xie Zhun quickly took her hand and pressed his face against it.
"Yes, but I have never worn one."
"But now, I will wear this one given by Shu'er."
Yu Shuen was still angry at first, but after Xie Zhun's coaxing, her heart felt as sweet as honey.
Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, Yu Shuen struck while the iron was hot, hoping to completely cut off Xie Zhun's thoughts about Yu Nianchu.
Then he opened his mouth.
"Your Highness, Chu'er has one more thing to say...but I'm afraid of hurting His Highness's heart."
Xie Zhun raised his eyebrows and was in a good mood, "Is there anything else that can't be said between you and me?"
Yu Shuen looked at him timidly and said lightly, "Shu'er helped His Highness bring down Chu'er last night, but His Highness didn't go..."
"As a result, Chu'er was insulted by the bandits."
"Your Highness... Do you still want Chu'er to enter the mansion with me?"
Xie Zhun immediately shook his head without thinking.
"In my opinion, beautiful jade with cracks is no different from bricks and stones."
"In that case, I won't force you to do anything. I'll just welcome Shu'er into the house."
Yu Shuen was extremely satisfied with Xie Zhun's answer, and immediately stood on tiptoes and kissed Xie Zhun's cheek.
The atmosphere gradually became ambiguous, and the two kissed each other.
Xie Zhun was somewhat under control at first, but Yu Shuen was still so well-behaved despite the beautiful scenery, which made him want to relive his old dream.
But at the critical moment, the guard broke in again and said in a hurry, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has summoned me!"
Xie Zhun blocked Yu Shuen behind him displeasedly, and nodded after a long time.
But he was in high spirits now, so he took Yu Shuen with him.
At this time, Xie Lan was sitting on the dragon chair, with Yu Chengguang standing beside him, surrounded by soldiers and officials.
Xie Zhun immediately handed over his hand and said, "Greetings to the emperor, I wonder why the emperor called me here?"
Yu Shuen also saluted the emperor behind Xie Zhun.
Xie Lan held her forehead, and her lazy eyes suddenly became sharp when she looked at Xie Jun.
A lot of gold and silver threads were used on his belt, so it was particularly eye-catching at first glance.
"Azhun, how do I treat you?"
Xie Zhun curled his lips, his brows showing pride.
"The imperial brother treats his ministers very well. The sons of the same mother and queen are the only flesh and blood relatives."
Xie Lan put down the hand that was holding his forehead. There was no expression on his face. He looked a little scary. He was completely different from the emperor in Xie Zhun's impression.
And Xie Zhun also noticed that since he and Yu Shuen came in, the ministers were talking a lot and looking directly at him.
He just doesn't understand why these veterans are so pedantic? What's wrong with bringing a beauty with you? To be pointed out by them?
Just as he was thinking about it, Xie Lan said coldly, "Yes, I treat you very well."
"Then how dare you commit such a capital crime!!!" After saying that, Xie Lan slapped the armrest hard, and all the ministers present knelt down, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Only this boy was still standing, looking at Xie Lan without knowing why.
"Brother, what do you mean? What did my brother do wrong?"
"Brother, please make it clear that I really don't like guessing!"
Xie Lan picked up the token engraved with Cheng'an on the case and threw it to Xie Zhun. The token fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Azhun, this was found from the assassin last night. You collaborated with the Li family to injure the prince like that, but you still don't know where you went wrong?!"
"Then Bai Lu and the oral artist have both been caught! Do you have to call me up to confront you in front of all the ministers?!"
"Thankfully Yu'er respects you so much! But you are so cruel!! Why, are you so eager to remove all obstacles and replace me with me!!"
Xie Zhun looked at Yu Shuen fiercely and said sternly, "Shu'er, what good things did you do with the token I gave you??!!"
He just wanted to get Yu Nianchu before. As for the other things, Xie Zhun didn't know about it, and he didn't have any involvement.
He never felt that Xie Yu was a threat to him, so there was no need to hurt him.
However, Xie Zhun is not a fool. He knows that the emperor has long been dissatisfied with him for forming a party for selfish purposes. Now that he has just beaten the Li family, he will be next.
So even if you cry out for injustice, it is useless.
If he really broke up with Marquis Dingyuan because of Yu Shuen's matter, it would not be of much benefit to him.
He paused, and finally knelt down respectfully in front of the emperor.
"Brother, the emperor is aware that I only hurt Yu'er accidentally, and I have no disloyal intentions."
"But Yu'er was injured because of my brother. As long as the emperor can calm down his anger, he can punish me in any way."
Xie Lan's eyes were slightly narrowed, and she looked directly at Xie Zhun's belt. After confirming the pattern on it, she became even more angry.
"Oh, are you all loyal?"
"Azhun, you even wore a dragon-patterned belt and you said you have no disobedience!!!"
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers began to talk about it.
Only now did Xie Zhun realize that their discussion was not because he brought Yu Shuen with him, but because...
He instantly looked down and saw that the 'python' on his belt had not four claws, but five claws! !
From the time Yu Shuen gave him this belt until he put it on just now, Xie Zhun never looked at this belt carefully.
Only at the plum blossom banquet, he took a glance at it and thought it looked beautiful. How could he pay attention to how many claws this python had? !
Mr. Li: "Hey, His Highness King Chengan is treasonous!!"
Mr. Du: "Yes, I have dragon tattoos all over my body. I don't know if I should just wear dragon robes at home!"
Mr. Chen: "Isn't that right? His Highness King Cheng'an has always been arrogant because of the support of the Queen Mother!"
There were endless discussions, and Xie Zhun didn't care whether he would break up with Marquis Dingyuan, so he just gave up his defense.
"Your Majesty, my dear brother! This belt was a gift from the eldest daughter of Marquis Dingyuan, Yu Shuen. I have never looked at the pattern on it carefully, which is why we are in today's situation!"
"My brother is really unintentional, please ask the emperor to atone for his sins!"
At this time, the direction of public opinion shifted to Marquis Dingyuan.
Mr. Chen: "Huh? I thought Dingyuan Marquis married the eldest daughter to King Cheng'an just to show his goodwill. How come the future son-in-law sold it first?"
Lord Du: "No, isn't Marquis Dingyuan your Majesty's favorite minister? How could he be biased towards King Chengan?"
Mr. Xie: "You all listen to me, I am afraid that Dingyuanhou Mansion has two hearts~Dingyuanhou himself naturally cares about His Majesty, but this is not necessarily the case for the eldest lady."
Mr. Lin: "When you say this, I don't understand even more. Isn't the eldest lady's mother the Li family? But the Li family supports the second prince!"
