After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

Zhong Yuanyuan was really fed up with the endless tests and endless suspicions.

"I want to ask the emperor, there are many young and beautiful women in this world, why does the emperor have to choose me?"

Zhong Yuanyuan still asked. If the tone could be less calm and more flattered, Xia Hong would be happier.

"That year, my eldest sister-in-law and her maid were secretly picking lotus in the temple and accidentally fell into the water. It was me who rescued her and took off my only outer robe to cover her, protecting her innocence."

"Who would have thought that in the end, my eldest sister-in-law thought that it was my brother who saved her, and even married him. In the end, she spent all her family wealth to support my brother in his uprising, and finally he sat on the golden dragon throne."

After so many years, Xia Hong always felt that it was Xia Qi who snatched the woman he saved, and it was also Xia Qi who took away the throne of the founding monarch that should have belonged to him.

Zhong Yuanyuan lowered her head and chuckled, the calmness in her eyes turning into a calm expression.

It turns out that the result of today is the result of a play that Xia Hong has been performing alone for decades.

The birth of the love between Zhong Yuanyuan and Xia Qi was never about Xia Qi claiming the so-called life-saving grace of Xia Hong.

Xia Qi won Zhong Yuanyuan's heart by being upright, responsible, and loyal.

Zhong Yuanyuan never denied that she had half the credit for Xia Qi's establishment of the empire, but without that group of brothers who were loyal to Xia Qi, this empire could not have been established.

Zhong Yuanyuan had taken such good and attentive care of Xia Hong because Xia Qi had told her from the beginning who had saved her.

"What are you laughing at, sister-in-law?"

Zhong Yuanyuan rushed out of the oil-paper umbrella, walked into the snow, looked back at Xia Hong and smiled: "I laugh, the emperor is really a love-struck man."

If you throw this kind of love to a starving dog at the village entrance, it won't even look at it.

Not to mention, Zhong Yuanyuan is a living person.

The blood in his heart boiled again, and Xia Hong personally chased after Zhong Yuanyuan with an umbrella: "Yuanyuan, it's good that you understand my intentions."

The misunderstanding has been created, the consequences have been caused, and most of the chess pieces in the game have been played.

Life is a dream, and Zhong Yuanyuan has no desire to interpret it.

As soon as the daytime classes were over, Eunuch Lin, followed by twenty or so eunuchs, entered the Prince Ming's Palace with countless rare treasures.

After the imperial edict of reward was issued, Eunuch Lin mentioned Xie Nanxing indirectly. Xia Yu knew that Eunuch Lin came in person not just to give gifts.

Xia Yu took the silver note offered by the eunuch behind him and put it in Eunuch Lin's hand.

Xia Yu, who had only saved forty taels of silver after several years and had half of it cheated away by Xun Zhan, now offered five hundred taels to the eunuch in front of the emperor.

He did not avoid anyone. This was the respect that a dignified master should have for the eunuch beside Xia Hong.

Eunuch Lin, who would have accepted the money with an open mind in the past, today smiled and put the silver back on the red lacquered tray.

"It is the duty of a servant to work for the queen and the prince. I do not deserve the prince's reward."

When the snowstorm came back yesterday, the wall between Xia Hong and Zhong Yuanyuan, which was sometimes thick and sometimes thin, was broken. Xia Hong, a man with white hair, was actually as happy as someone who had just sat on the throne.

Xia Yu did not force it. Since he was now the one who needed to be pleased, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

"What does Eunuch Lin want to see Xie Nanxing for?"

"Lord Shen's crime has been determined. He will be executed after the New Year. Her Majesty said that Master Xie is very lovable, so she sent a servant to find out what Master Xie's future plans are."

Xia Yu stopped walking forward with Eunuch Lin and considered his words for a while.

Shen Jinmo must have been saved, otherwise Eunuch Lin would not have been able to call him Lord Shen.

"Does this mean going inside the palace or outside the palace?"

If they walked towards the palace, Xie Nanxing, a good man, would be cut off directly and become a handle that Xia Hong would keep under his nose every day.

As he walked out of the palace, he would kill Xie Nanxing and let him go into the forest. From then on, Xie Nanxing would have nothing to do with this capital of power.

Both of these paths will sever the obvious relationship between Shen Jinmo and Xia Yu.

Zhong Yuanyuan immediately cut off the firewood from under the cauldron and directly ordered Xia Hong to release Xia Yu from swallowing too many chess pieces in this round.

His mother still makes Xia Yu feel at ease as always.

Eunuch Lin glanced upwards and saw that Xia Yu’s trip was to release the bird into the forest.

Without leading Eunuch Lin, Xia Yu wanted to go to the courtyard that Xun Zhanqing had been given alone for some time to discuss with him which chess pieces that were originally given to Xia Ling could be taken back.

As soon as Eunuch Lin entered Xie Nanxing's yard, he walked forward and bowed slowly.

The moment he looked up and met Xie Nanxing's gaze, tears began to well up in his eyes.

After looking at Xie Nanxing carefully for a while, Eunuch Lin closed his eyes and bowed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, muttering words of gratitude.

"Thank God, Master Xie is safe and sound. This servant has finally given an explanation to Lord Shen."

The polite words spoken by people who are presentable are not important in themselves.

But the deeper meaning beyond this appearance is the manifestation of Shen Jinmo's increasing favor.

Xie Nanxing was still wearing a white robe today, with auspicious patterns densely outlined with silver threads on it, sparkling in the sunlight.

The hair was tied with the finest white jade. There were no more than ten people in the palace who could afford white jade of this quality.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Xie Nanxing had lived a peaceful and stable life during the days when Shen Jinmo was not around.

Helping Eunuch Lin to sit down, Xie Nanxing asked with a smile: "But my master has been in the palace for a long time, and the emperor has granted me the privilege of visiting him in the palace."

Xie Nanxing's smile was like a snow lotus slowly blooming under Eunuch Lin's eyes.

Although the snow lotus looks very easy to break, it can stand proudly in the snow and frost, and bloom more beautifully than any other flower.

Eunuch Lin poured hot tea for Xie Nanxing and expertly began to serve him. "It has been confirmed that Lord Shen assassinated the Grand Tutor. The Emperor has sentenced Lord Shen to death after the New Year at the morning court today."

Xie Nanxing held the teacup firmly in his hand, then placed it on the table.

"My father-in-law, you are here today not to ask me to prepare for my husband's funeral."

The Xie Nanxing in front of Eunuch Lin was very different from the one who took the seriously injured Shen Jinmo out of the palace last year.

Last year, Xie Nanxing exuded a murderous aura from head to toe, wanting to avenge Shen Jinmo. Such a vicious look could indeed scare many people, but it did not have much effect on Eunuch Lin.

Only incompetent people will become furious.

Today, Xie Nanxing just sat here quietly, speaking tenderly to Eunuch Lin, but Eunuch Lin felt that the man in front of him needed to be served properly and cautiously.
