Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

This room is adjacent to the lake. For the convenience of washing and changing clothes, a shallow stone staircase extending into the water was built behind it.

At this moment, the moisture in the April evening hits the skin and brings a cool feeling.

Chizhou turned his head stiffly and looked at his always gentle and elegant queen, who pressed the man's upper body into the lake.

After a few breaths, he lifted up his collar and let me take a breath.

"Help, help, gurgle..." repeated several times. Xie Xian squatted in the shadows, and one hand made it impossible for anyone to resist.

Wait for Xie Xian to let go.

"Cough cough~" The man coughed violently, as if he wanted to cough out his heart. His upper body was soaked, like a dead fish, lying at Xie Xian's feet, trembling and gasping for breath.

"Oh! Jiulangjun, have you thought about what to say?" The girl raised her rosy chin slightly, the contempt in her eyes remained the same as always.

"I said, I said."

"It was the Princess who wanted to send the Hua Clan to the capital as a birthday gift! Girl, I am just an errand boy. Really, I was bewildered just now and offended you. I will definitely offer you an apology when I return!"

Jiuzifu has always been high and mighty. Although his methods were cruel, they were mostly done by servants. It was his first time to experience the feeling of being held in the water and brought to death. He was already scared out of his wits!

Xie Xian watched him struggling in the water without changing her expression. Her gaze, as if she was looking at a dead man, made him tremble physically and mentally. Then she told him everything about the eldest princess's plan, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

"Mr. Jiu, why does the princess have her eyes on the Hua family? Think it over carefully before you speak." Xie Xian had a playful look on her face, which was only seen in girls. She exerted force with her hands, dragged Mr. Jiu over, and pressed him into the water on his back.

With a smile on her face, she pulled the man up and sighed, "Oh, look at how you muddied the water. You're not very obedient!"

After hearing what he said, Jiuzifu did not dare to struggle anymore. He looked at Xie Xian with horror, feeling that he was going to die at the hands of this woman.

"Oops, there's grass in your hair. Let me wash it for you. Be good!"

Chizhou hid behind the door, daring only to show his eyes. Behind him, Hua Yin, You Ji and several other members of the Hua family were all looking at the scene outside in disbelief.

Xie Xian's eyes were gentle, and she whispered softly like a friend, but the Jiu Zifu in her hands was almost broken.

He fell on the wooden floor, shaking all over and muttering, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong!" He was already somewhat unconscious.

Xie Xian narrowed her eyes, thinking that this guy drank too much, and then kicked him in the back. Jiuzifu rolled over twice, lay on the ground and coughed up a lot of water.

Shaking off her wet sleeves, Xie Xian hated the sticky, clammy feeling, and a hint of annoyance flashed across her eyes.

"Your crime of disrespect has just been absolved. Now let's talk about the eldest princess's acquisition of the Legend of the White Snake!"

When Jiuzifu heard that Xie Xian would not pursue the matter, he was so pleasantly surprised that tears started streaming down his nose. He did not care about his embarrassment at the moment and quickly knelt in front of Xie Xian, nodding his head continuously.

"Okay, okay." As long as there are bullets, it means he is still useful. As long as he is useful, he can survive.

God knows he had just seen his great-grandfather. Woohoo! He just helped to make connections and did things for the princess, but he never knew that one day he would hit a wall and almost lose his life here.

Xie Xian smiled with satisfaction: "Then please move aside, Mr. Jiu!" Everyone should sit down and talk about the matter properly. Wouldn't she have saved so much effort if she had done so earlier?

Jiuzifu hurriedly crawled back into the house, fearing that he was too late and that this vicious woman would find some excuse to push him into the water.

But at this moment his legs were as weak as noodles, and in the end Xie Xian carried him into the house with a look of disgust on her face.

The two servants behind the screen, who had just witnessed with their own eyes how their master was forced to wash by the lake, turned their heads towards the door at the same time and pretended to faint.

Xie Xian was wearing a middle-length dress and sitting opposite Jiu Zifu across a table.

Although what she wore was inappropriate, no one in the room dared to say anything about Xie Xian's behavior just now.

Chizhou brought up two cups of hot tea, then bowed and stepped back. Huayin and the others sat obediently behind her, not daring to move.

Even Youji, who was usually the clingiest, didn't fight for the front position at this moment.

"I understand what the princess means. The Legend of the White Snake can be given away for free, and the dance and the song can be performed by anyone the princess likes."

The people selected by the princess are not as useful as those from the Hua family, after all, they are sent to the palace.

Jiuzifu, holding the teacup in both hands, had recovered from his pale face. After hearing what Xie Xian said, he naturally understood what she meant.

So there is no hope for the Hua family, but it’s better this way. If he doesn’t agree, he can’t guarantee that he can leave the house tonight.

"That's good. I will convey your wishes to the princess." He couldn't guarantee anything else. After taking a dip in the lake, his mind was clearer than ever before.

As the head of the Hua Clan, Xie Xian had the support of the Xie Clan and was on good terms with the Cui Clan. However, she was not what he had initially thought, a girl from the North with little background.

And if Xie Xian dared to push his head into the water today, she could also throw his entire body into the lake to use as fertilizer tomorrow.

The female warrior leaning against the wall was holding a scabbard with the emblem of the Snow Mountain Sect on it.

He who knows the times is a hero. Jiu Zifu is the most sensible one. In the spirit of "good for you, good for me and good for everyone", it is naturally what he wants if he can make the eldest princess and the lady of the Xie family satisfied with the plan.

"Your Majesty is very talented. This idea will surely make Her Royal Highness the Princess happy. I will talk to the Princess about it when I get back." Jiu Zifu put in all his effort to please Xie Xian.

But the girl opposite had a solemn expression, a smile on her face, and tapped the table with her index finger. The maid next to her handed over a small bottle.

He poured out a pill and pushed it in front of Jiuzifu.

"Today, Mr. Jiu came to visit my humble abode. I accidentally got my clothes wet, and I was very worried. I am offering you these Nine Flower Rain Dew Pills as an apology. Please accept them."

Everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the black pill, and Jiuzifu's heart was relieved again. It was not what he thought!

The terrifying smile on the red-dressed lady's face confirmed that the black pill in front of her was the kind of poison that had to be taken every once in a while, otherwise it would cause a stomachache.

"Woo woo~ I'll eat it!" Jiuzifu's expression was distorted. He clearly wanted to cry but he didn't dare to. He could only force a smile and swallow the pill mixed with tea. As expected, the poison was a bit irritating to his throat.

Xie Xian: What the hell? I was just afraid that you would catch a cold, so I specially gave you a ginger pill prepared by Doctor Xiao Wang to drive away the cold.

Why do you look like you've taken poison?
