Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

Murong Xuan nodded and said casually: "Of course."

Shen Xiyue nodded, trying hard to suppress the uneasiness in her heart.

He then asked, "The Jiangnan case involves a wide range of people, and every detail is closely related to Prince Yao. Gu Zhilan has admitted her guilt, has the emperor punished Prince Yao?"

After asking this question, she watched Murong Xuan's lips curl up with sarcasm:

"King Yao? He has a good uncle! Wenyuan Hou Qi Yijun took the blame for him in the palace, saying that everything was his idea and that everything Gu Zhi did was under his command."

Shen Xiyue was stunned: "Lord Qi? This is a capital crime punishable by death, he..."

Murong Xuan raised his eyebrows and said calmly:

"After all, he is my uncle. If anything happens to King Yao, the Qi family will all prosper and suffer together, so it is better to sacrifice him and save the Qi family. What's more, if he doesn't become the scapegoat, his son Qi Xun will inevitably be pushed out."

His tone was casual, as if he was saying, "Look, winter is almost here, so the weather will naturally be cold." Shen Xiyue frowned, feeling heavy in her heart.

In her previous life, she had lived in Wenyuanhou for many years, so she naturally knew that Qi Yijun had no talent and did not even have a real job in the court. How could he have the ability to do these things?

Not only did she know, but everyone in the capital also knew what kind of person Wenyuan Hou was. If he came out to take the blame, would the emperor believe it?

She frowned and said, "But how could he be so omnipotent! If he says he did it, will all the civil and military officials believe him?"

Murong Xuan chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes:

"The emperor only asked one more question, and Prince Yao fell to his knees, raised his finger and swore to the sky that he had never thought of competing with me for the position of crown prince, that he and the crown prince had always been friendly and respectful, and that he had no idea what Qi Yijun had done.

If you ask further, you will get nothing but the same old questions over and over again. In short, he is determined to portray himself as a lotus that grows out of the mud without being stained.

When the emperor asked Qi Yijun again, he explained that His Royal Highness Prince Yao was too straightforward and that he actually supported the Fourth Prince. "

"Isn't this just nonsense?" Shen Xiyue paused, "These, these must have been arranged by King Yao a long time ago! He and the Fourth Prince are brothers from the same mother. In order to protect himself, he not only pushed Qi Yijun out, but also convinced the Fourth Prince to be his shield.

This chain of events leads to another chain of events. Every time someone takes the blame, he becomes more innocent.”

"Qi Yijun is guilty of the crime of death, and Prince Duan will be fined one year's salary." Murong Xuan's expression was calm, he just stretched out his hand and pinched his brows: "In the Jiangnan case, Prince Yao was unharmed."

Shen Xiyue looked at his slightly tired eyes and suddenly a strong emotion surged in her heart, she felt sorry for him.

Although the disaster relief in Jiangnan gave Murong Xuan the opportunity to enter the court, facing his wolf-like and ferocious brother, King Yao, every step forward would certainly be extremely difficult, but he had no way out.

She tried to curl the corners of her lips and comforted him: "Now that things have come to this, let's not think about it. King Yao has a lot of handles on him. We will find an opportunity and we will never let him escape next time."

"Yes." Murong Xuan smiled: "However, King Yao's way of cutting off his own tail to survive is indeed quite ingenious. All his relatives and friends can be pushed out to pay for his crimes. Even I admire him a little."

The jokes exchanged back and forth actually diluted the heavy atmosphere.

Murong Xuan didn't stay here for long. After saying a few more words, he got up and left.

Shen Xiyue saw him off.

Tonight the sky is full of stars and the moon is high in the sky.

The moonlight shone in the courtyard, depicting soft light and shadows. Shen Xiyue stopped at the door. A cool breeze blew, ruffling her hair and lifting the corners of his clothes. When the wind stopped, even the regret in her heart was killed.

Shen Xiyue gathered the fine hair around her ears and looked up at Murong Xuan: "It's only a few steps away, I won't see you off."

"Don't be afraid at night."

Murong Xuan lowered his eyes and looked at her. "The Prince's Mansion has guards patrolling the palace. I asked Mao Ping to tell them to change their route when patrolling at night and patrol your Princess' Mansion as well. Tomorrow morning, I will come to find you and take you to the execution ground."

As soon as he finished speaking, the night wind started to blow again, and more fallen leaves fluttered in the air.

Shen Xiyue looked at Murong Xuan and saw the golden leaves falling on his head and clothes, but he was not affected at all and still had that gentle smile on his face.

Shen Xiyue naturally reached out and brushed away the fallen leaves on his clothes, and said calmly: "I know, thank you, Your Highness."

Murong Xuan lowered his eyes to look at her, and suddenly recalled the life-and-death scene she had performed in the suburbs of Beijing three months ago.

She stood in front of him like this, looking at her with her watery peach blossom eyes, asking him to be responsible for her... He knew that those were just nonsense she said to get him to take her to the south of the Yangtze River, but he just remembered them.

He suddenly asked, "This year, your parents will return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year."

Shen Xiyue nodded: "Your Highness also knows?"

After a pause, he couldn't help but say with joy: "My parents are afraid that I will be wronged. I haven't seen them for a long time. I am really looking forward to it."

Murong Xuan kept looking at her, and seeing that she was so happy, some thoughts in his heart could not be hidden... He even wondered what he should do in advance to make the Marquis of Zhenxi agree to marry his daughter to him?

By force? It seems impossible... His body needs to get better slowly.

Power and status? General Shen didn't seem to care about these things... Moreover, given the situation in the court, his own situation as the crown prince was not stable.

His appearance is acceptable... But Lord Shen is a military commander, so he doesn't seem to take this seriously...

After a while, Murong Xuan decided to follow the ancient saying that the one who is close to the water will see the moon first. Living so close to her, he should first win her heart, so he said: "Tomorrow morning, I will come to have breakfast with you."

Shen Xiyue nodded without thinking too much: "Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it."

Murong Xuan paused, turned around and went back to his Prince's Mansion. Shen Xiyue stood at the door and watched his back disappear before returning to the courtyard.

In the main room in the backyard, the maid Hongmei had already prepared hot water for bathing.

The clothes prepared for her to change into were all newly made in the past few days. They were washed once and could be worn directly.

Hongmei added water to Shen Xiyue's bathtub while sighing:

"My Lady, I see that His Highness treats you very well. If it were someone else, I would think that this person has other intentions, but since His Highness is like this, I feel that His Highness is truly a modest gentleman."

Shen Xiyue lowered her eyes and smiled, then followed her words and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Hongmei said seriously: "How can I explain this clearly? This is how a servant feels! A gentleman gives people the feeling of being as calm as water!"

Shen Xiyue: “…” Hongmei, you really feel wrong!

Hongmei sighed as she spoke, "Princess, I'm going to say something I shouldn't say. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in better health, he would truly be the dream lover of all the young ladies in the capital! Princess, what do you think?"

Shen Xiyue glared at her: "You're still talking about the prince. You think this is Western Xinjiang? You dare to say anything."

Hongmei stuck out her tongue and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will never say anything when I leave the mansion. When Lvliu comes back, I will remind her not to say anything."

"Okay, okay." Shen Xiyue stood up and walked out of the barrel: "Look at you, girl, you clearly know everything and want to commit everything."

Hongmei helped her wipe her body while acting coquettishly: "Who told you to pamper me, Princess!"

Shen Xiyue put on her pajamas and lay on the bed, saying, "Then I am now a bad-hearted master. I will punish you by making Shaomai for me as breakfast tomorrow morning."

Hongmei smiled: "Okay, okay, if the princess wants to eat our Xijiang Shaomai, I will make it for her!"

Shen Xiyue closed her eyes: "Let's do some more in Beijing."

Hongmei: "Ah?"

Shen Xiyue was a little embarrassed: "That gentleman also wants to have breakfast!"

Hongmei: "Oh oh oh!"

......

The next morning.

The sunlight came through the window gap and fell on Shen Xiyue's face. She raised her hand to block the sunlight and woke up slowly.

Shuang Ye helped her dress and wash. Just as she finished, a servant came to tell her that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was waiting in the flower hall.

Hongmei and the cook prepared a table full of steaming hot breakfast.

"Your Highness is polite." Shen Xiyue glanced at Murong Xuan and saluted politely.

"Let's have a meal."

Shen Xiyue sat down obediently and saw at a glance the mutton steamed buns with paper-thin skin and light meals such as bird's nest porridge.

Murong Xuan asked: "Did you sleep well last night?"

Shen Xiyue nodded: "Very good."

Murong Xuan chuckled: "I was thinking that you would not be used to sleeping alone."

Shen Xiyue's face turned red all of a sudden. What kind of vicious words were these!

She managed to steady the chopsticks in her hand and tried to be serious: "Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense!"

Murong Xuan raised his eyelids, drank a mouthful of bird's nest porridge nonchalantly, looked at her and sighed, pretending to be pitiful and said: "You are used to it, but I am a little uncomfortable with it."

Shen Xiyue: "......"

Is this a gentleman?

What kind of gentleman is like this, saying things in broad daylight that can't make him sleep alone!

There was a maid in the room serving dishes, so she had to pretend not to understand: "If Your Highness is not used to sleeping after coming back from Jiangnan, ask Doctor Mu to prescribe more tranquilizing soup."

"That's true." Murong Xuan raised his eyelids, his phoenix eyes smiling, like a scimitar that was sharp enough to kill with one blow, but softened by that smile: "...I am flattered by your concern, Princess."

Shen Xiyue: "......"

Why does he seem a little abnormal today... It's clearly the beginning of winter, so why does he seem to be in heat?

She really wanted to ask him to go out and get some fresh air, calm down, and return to normal!

Then he put down the spoon in his hand and said, "Your Highness, let's go to the execution ground!"

"I really can't do anything about you." He put down the spoon in his hand and looked at her tenderly: "For the princess's kindness to me, I will go with you."
