Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

The four important ministers went out chatting in low voices, but Xie Changqing did not leave.

Not only did he not leave, his knees weakened again, and he fell to the ground, begging with tears and snot: "Please, Princess, please give me mercy..."

"Don't give me that." Daiyu interrupted directly, "I have to deceive my uncle just to cover up the mistakes of a stupid little monkey like you!

"Not to mention deceiving His Majesty! What a crime that is! Since you are Lu Changqing's brother, you must know it clearly!

"Since you have the guts to lie, just muster up the courage to admit it and don't let me get involved!"

Xie Changqing was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. She kowtowed repeatedly: "I know I was wrong! I will never dare to do it again!"

Seeing him like this, Daiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh? You know you are wrong? Then what did you do wrong?"

Xie Changqing trembled with fear: "I shouldn't have spoken without thinking, only caring about the present and ignoring the overall situation..."

"Huh?!" Daiyu raised her eyebrows and looked at him in surprise, "Think about it again and tell me when you've made up your mind!"

Xiaohong was standing by and glanced at Daiyu.

Daiyu noticed it and looked at her too.

Xiao Hong looked at Xie Changqing again and said softly, "Young Master Xie is really amazing. He also understands the overall situation. He is even more amazing than the master..."

Xie Changqing shuddered, slammed her head to the ground, and said, "This time I really know I was wrong!

"I shouldn't have acted on my own after receiving the master's order! I forgot my identity! I deserve to die!"

Call her a slave all the time.

This is what it means to truly know.

Daiyu sneered and said, "You are the disciple of Tao Jian and the brother of Lu Changqing. For this reason, I am reminding you this time.

"Having hooked up with the Third Prince, your status as Eunuch Xie has indeed risen sharply.

"But this only shows that you have bypassed your master and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and found a good place for yourself. You are really capable!

“That’s all.

"But if you think you are clever, capable, and great because of this, and you actually misinterpret your master's intentions and interfere in state affairs as a mere eunuch—

"Little Eunuch Xie, you are not far from death!"

It was a cold day, but Xie Changqing's back was instantly covered in sweat!

"Don't think that anyone can do what Lu Changqing does." Daiyu looked at him with a half-smile, "It was never Supervisor Tao who supported Lu Changqing and gave him confidence.

"Who does he think he is to think he can curry favor with Master Tao?

"That's because he is particularly familiar with the laws and regulations of the court, so he caught the attention of His Majesty! It's His Majesty who is backing him up!

"If you want to act arrogantly, you should first register with His Majesty and ask His Majesty to be magnanimous and indulge you. It will not be too late for you to act recklessly later!"

"I dare not! I am stupid and don't have the ability of Lu Changqing!" Xie Changqing's whole body tensed up.

Daiyu snorted again: "You'd better not!"

Seeing that the knocking was almost over, Daiyu relaxed a little, propped her arms on the stool, pointed at the door and told him to get out:

"Since you have hooked up with the Third Prince, why don't you just go and serve him? Are you waiting for the Prince to come and invite you?"

Xie Changqing was stunned for a moment, kowtowed again numbly, then got up and walked out with his hands hanging down.

Seeing that he was about to leave in a daze, Chu Qian grabbed him and signaled him not to panic and to slow down and watch.

Sure enough, after two or three breaths, Xiaohong followed out.

Seeing Xie Changqing bowing to him hurriedly, he stepped aside and said with a smile: "Young Master Xie, you have worked hard today.

"When I replied just now, although Young Eunuch Xie kept his head down, the princess still saw it -

"Were these two front teeth knocked out by the rebels?"

Xie Changqing finally reacted, covered his mouth with his hand, and stammered awkwardly.

Xiao Hong handed over a purse and said with a smile, "It's a chaotic time right now, so we can't take care of it for now.

"When you're safe tomorrow, go see Aunt Meng. I remember that Aunt Meng has an uncle who specializes in dental treatment."

Xie Changqing lowered his head to thank him, but refused to take the purse.

Xiao Hong was immediately displeased: "What? Are you still holding a grudge against the princess?!"

Xie Changqing was almost crying, and bowed with a bitter face: "I was too proud of myself before. If it weren't for the princess's warning, I would have caused a big disaster!

"After this incident this morning, the Third Prince will surely call me over to serve him.

"I got into trouble, so I deserve to die.

"But if this causes harm to the Third Prince, I will never forgive myself!"

Xiao Hong laughed and nodded repeatedly: "You are really smart. You have thought it through. You have a bright future ahead of you."

As he said this, he stuffed the purse into his hand and lowered his voice to remind him, "You have no front teeth, your image is not good, you don't have to go to the banquet!"

This can be picked out!

Xie Changqing's eyes lit up, he bowed repeatedly and thanked earnestly, then he left happily.

After finishing these last bit of tidying up, Daiyu finally couldn't hold on any longer. She asked to take off her hair and change her clothes, and skipped lunch, then she fell asleep.

——Although I wanted to catch up on some sleep after returning to the palace in the morning, I could only lie down for half an hour before I couldn’t do it anymore.

Finally the big thing was settled, and she finally felt relieved. Fatigue surged up like a tide, and she felt extremely sleepy.

I slept until the end of noon, but was still woken up by hunger.

But as soon as she opened her eyes, Xiao Hong whispered in her ear with a hint of anxiety: "Your Majesty has entered the palace!

"I sent someone to ask you just now, and found out that you were so tired that you fell asleep, so I didn't want to wake you up.

"At the banquet, the Third Prince really did talk nonsense to the Northwestern and Southwestern tribes. The Southwestern tribes endured it, but the Northwestern tribes turned hostile.

"Your Majesty asked about this matter when he entered the palace. He was very unhappy to hear that the Northwestern tribes were simply expelled from the Linde Palace.

"I just sent General Feng out in person to chop off the heads of those envoys who contradicted the Third Prince, and have the deputy envoy take them back!

"…I'm afraid a war is really going to break out!"

Daiyu sat up slowly and put on her clothes. After listening to this, she pulled the corners of her mouth, sighed softly, and said:

"Go and ask His Majesty where he is now and when he is free. I will return the gold medal, unload the errand, and we will return to the Yanjia Palace."

Hearing her attitude, Xiaohong finally felt relieved and agreed happily:

"I will ask Chu Kui to go out and inquire."

When Daiyu had finished cleaning up, Chu Kui came back to report, "Your Majesty is now in Xuanzheng Hall. He has just finished washing up and is about to summon Prince Dong and others to ask questions.

"Tao Jian said that the princess should go half an hour later."

Daiyu agreed, touched her stomach, and decided to satisfy her stomach first, so she ordered lunch and said:

"Your Majesty, you ran all the way back, but you didn't have any lunch, did you?

"At this time, let the imperial chef save some trouble. I will eat vegetarian noodles. If Your Majesty doesn't eat either, then send a bowl each to Your Majesty and Tao Jian."

Qingwen went away immediately.

After a while, he brought the noodles in, placed them in front of Daiyu, and bowed his head deeply: "Your Majesty has also sent them over.

"Princess, please eat quickly before it gets cold."

Then he took two steps back and hid in the corner.

Daiyu didn't notice her abnormality, and thinking about the visit to the Xuanzheng Hall to see the emperor soon, she concentrated on eating noodles.

After she ate the noodles and drank the soup, she filled her stomach, rinsed her mouth and washed her hands.

Qingwen's eyes were red, and she knelt down with a plop, choking with sobs: "My Lord, the prince was seriously injured in the assassination at Chang'an Posthouse, and he has passed away...

"And our eldest daughter, the Imperial Concubine, because the Jia family was involved in the case, the Empress Dowager was furious and gave her a white silk..."

Daiyu's face turned pale and she stood up suddenly: "What!? Then, what about Yimin?!?"
