When Lu Xiaoxiao woke up, he heard the news that Bai Zhi had brought back from outside.
The Xiao family is getting married to the Liang family?
When Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly heard the news, she almost thought she hadn't woken up. She suppressed her suspicion and asked, "Which Xiao family?"
Bai Zhi combed her master's hair gently and replied: "If I go back to my master, it's the Xiao family of the royal merchant in Shengjing City."
Oh, this plot started running away from home again.
Obviously, the Xiaoliang family has cut off all contact with each other because of the incident of Young Master Xiao falling into the water. How can there be a marriage now?
Not sure what was going on, Lu Xiaoxiao always felt that something was not right, "Could it be that Second Young Master Xiao and Third Miss Liang are getting married, right?"
Bai Zhi paused slightly and said in surprise: "Eh? Miss knows?"
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly fell into silence: "..." It was really those two.
"Guess."
Lu Xiaoxiao said calmly: "I have heard rumors before that the Second Young Master Xiao and the Third Miss Liang are a couple. Something happened later. I thought that these two would not be able to get along."
Who would have thought that Third Miss Liang would forgive Young Master Xiao so quickly.
This is really strange.
However, now that the Xiao family is involved with His Highness, if the Xiao family and the Liang family can really get married, maybe the Liang family will follow the Xiao family and get on His Highness's ship.
The Liang family is a military general, with military power in their hands, and they will also be useful to His Highness in the future.
After Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it clearly, he didn't pay too much attention to the matter, but asked about the whereabouts of His Highness the Crown Prince.
After she came back from the Pearl Courtyard yesterday, she heard His Highness the Crown Prince leaving the mansion in a hurry and did not return all night. Now that Lu Xiaoxiao woke up, when she thought of the task she had failed to complete, she thought about looking for His Highness the Crown Prince again.
"Master, Guard Mu Qing came to Jingxiang Courtyard this morning."
Bai Zhi finally remembered this.
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up and stared at Bai Zhi with gleaming eyes: "Bai Zhi, Guard Mu Qing is here to convey His Highness's order?"
"yes."
Bai Zhi replied: "Guard Mu Qing said that His Highness plans to take the master out to relax."
Your Highness wants to take her out to relax?
Why?
Lu Xiao carefully wondered, has she done anything to please His Highness recently?
Otherwise, why would His Highness suddenly have such an idea?
But that’s okay. Can she take the opportunity to let His Highness take her to Jiangnan to relax?
When the time comes, she will use the system to find some evidence for His Highness about Jiangnan's bribery case. She doesn't believe that His Highness will continue the investigation!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible. Lu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Did Guard Mu Qing say when he would set off?"
"this……"
Bai Zhi carefully recalled the explanation given by the Mu Qing guard, and it seemed that... he didn't say anything?
Bai Zhi shook her head: "Master, as for when to set off, Guard Mu Qing did not inform this slave."
Lu Xiaoxiao: "Okay."
Then she would have to wait for His Highness to come back to pick her up.
…
At this time, Xie Xi was in the imperial study room of the palace.
After hurriedly leaving the house yesterday, Xie Xi went to Luoyang Inn to look for Meng Huaijun.
He learned from Meng Huaijun that if he planned to take over the Jiangnan bribery case, Meng Huaijun would go to Jiangnan with him to help him solve the Jiangnan matter smoothly.
"Xier, have you really decided?"
The emperor put the finished memorial aside.
The emperor looked helplessly at Xie Xi, who was kneeling on the ground.
Jiangnan was dangerous, and Xie Xi was the prince he valued most. To be honest, the emperor did not want to send Xie Xi to Jiangnan to collect evidence.
Such dangerous things should not be handled by a prince like him.
I thought that after the conversation that day, Xie Xi had rested her mind. Unexpectedly, just one night later, Xi'er changed her mind again.
The emperor was really caught off guard.
Seeing his father's hesitation, Xie Xi understood his father's thoughts, but he could not give in on this matter.
Not only for the people of Jiangnan, but also for himself.
Only by allowing Lu Fengyi to successfully complete his mission can he obtain the antidote to the cold poison in southern Xinjiang.
Xie Xi's face did not change and he said in a sincere tone: "My son is aware of my father's concerns, but this time, I ask my father to agree to my request."
"My son is not afraid of hardship or danger, I just want to share my father's worries."
"you……"
The emperor sighed inwardly.
Facing his royal son's determined gaze, the emperor finally couldn't help but compromise: "That's all, since Xi'er wants to go, then I will fulfill Xi'er's wish."
The more outstanding the Crown Prince behaves and the more he understands the suffering of the people of Li Country, the more gratified the emperor feels. He will not be disappointed if he puts the future of Li Country in the hands of the Crown Prince.
"Xier, I will leave you an imperial edict. After you go to Jiangnan, if your identity is discovered, you will take out the imperial edict. Do you remember it?"
Hearing this, Xie Xi curled up the corners of his lips without any trace, with a slight smile in his warm eyes: "Thank you, father!"
"My son will definitely not let my father down!"
However, the waters in Jiangnan's officialdom are very deep, and even if there is an imperial edict, it may not be effective.
At that time, he can only see and take one step.
"Xi'er, be careful and be sure to save your life."
The emperor was still worried and said: "I will assign another twenty secret guards to you."
Xie Xi: "..."
Father knew that there were secret guards around him, so why did he still think of assigning secret guards to him?
Faced with his father's concerns, Xie Xi could not refuse: "Thank you, father."
"Um."
As long as they are willing to accept them, the emperor is still afraid that Xi'er will not accept these secret guards.
Emperor: "As for the Jiangnan bribery case, has Xi'er thought of a countermeasure?"
"There is something I would like to ask my father for help with."
Xie Xi discussed with Meng Huaijun yesterday about the strategy for going to Jiangnan this time.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk about it."
"My son took the secret guards to Jiangnan and searched for evidence privately. Then my father sent an imperial envoy, a military general, and a team of escorts to Jiangnan in a big way to deal with the officials in Jiangnan."
Xie Xi: "My son is in the dark, and the imperial envoy and military general are in the light. In this way, they can relax their vigilance, which is conducive to my actions."
"OK!"
The emperor felt that this method was feasible, "I will issue an order directly later."
"I wonder if Xi'er has any candidates for military commanders?"
There are many military generals in Li State, but to be sent to Jiangnan to deal with those officials, one must be a tactful and quick-thinking military general.
As for the imperial minister, the emperor already had a candidate in mind, and based on that person's character, he would definitely be able to get the matter done.
Xie Xi secretly thought that he still didn't know where the mighty general was.
Maybe General Mighty has already belonged to the fourth brother, so he can't be used.
Then...
Xie Xi pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at his father, and said seriously: "Father, I will boldly recommend Liang Shen and General Liang, okay?"
