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

Jiu Zifu was trying to make it clear that Xie Xian was not someone to be trifled with, but unexpectedly, this last sentence hit Li Xi right in the lungs.

Cui Jing relied on her status as a princess to pressure people, and people would rather pay money than do what she wanted. As for Xie An, he was the man she fell in love with at first sight. Even the pavilion on the top of the mountain was specially built to be closer to the library.

Jiuzifu noticed that the princess's expression was not right, and his heart skipped a beat. What was going on? He analyzed the pros and cons very clearly and seemed not to notice the jealousy in Li Xi's eyes.

"What if I insist on joining the Hua family?" Li Xi, who was at the top, had a gloomy expression.

"Princess, if you offend the Xie family for an actor..." This is quite unwise. As expected, this woman's brain stopped working when she heard about the handsome man from the Xie family whom she had been thinking about all the time.

Jiu Zifu looked embarrassed: "But this unprovoked robbery will always be criticized."

"Haha! Who dares to say anything when I do something?" A look of contempt flashed across Li Xi's face. He was just a barbarian from the north. If he angered her, it would be hard to say whether he could go back.

People's understanding of Xie Xian is just that she is a nominal queen who relies on her subordinates to manage government affairs.

There were such girls from aristocratic families in the past. Many of them held military power. The smarter ones got married soon after, and then the military power was divided between their husband's family and their own family.

For those veteran soldiers, there are no practical benefits. They don't recognize your noble status or family background. In the eyes of the soldiers, none of them are as important as a real meal.

So after hearing about Xie Xian's background, everyone thought that the collapse of the Black Stone Guard was a matter of time, and that the reason why those noble families were close to Xie Xian was because of clear political purposes. Who wouldn't want military power?

Now that Xie Xian has come to the grand gathering of Kuaiji where many powerful people gather, it can be said that she is waiting for a good price to find a good husband for herself.

Thinking of this, Li Xi, the lord of Kuaiji County, felt like the fish in his own fish pond were about to be caught away by someone.

Jiu Zifu raised his eyes cautiously and looked at Li Xi, not understanding why the eldest princess was so angry. "I heard that the second daughter of the Xie family is a cousin of Yushu of the Xie family. Why don't you try to win him over?"

He couldn't understand why the princess became even angrier after hearing about Xie Xian's background.

"Hehe~ So what if we're cousins? You know what 'the one who is close to the water gets the moon first' means!" Li Xi glanced at Jiu Zifu. He had heard about Xie An and Xie Xian's engagement from Princess Zhaohe a few years ago, but there had been no news in the past few years!

And his niece Zhaohe was also quite infatuated with Xie An, and was wholeheartedly trying to get close to Xie An's mother's family.

How could the main branch of the Xie family give up such a good opportunity to others? This is military power, which other families cannot get even if they want it.

But knowing this doesn't stop her from causing trouble for Xie Xian! She is just a queen in name only, what kind of trouble can she cause in her territory?

Li Xi stood up from the couch and sat up straight, with a fierce look in his eyes. "No mistake, let's find one and send a message to Xishan Temple, saying that the person who kidnapped Zheng'er is connected with the daughter of the Xie family."

"This...this." Jiu Zifu's knees went weak and he fell to the ground. What he said just now was really unintentional. Although his life was in danger, he really just wanted to trip up Xie Xian.

If this fails, my life will still be in someone else's hands!

But the waiter behind the eldest princess had already calmly agreed. The maid looked ordinary, but judging from the expression on her face, she had done this many times.

Jiuzifu was already sweating profusely. In just two days, he had witnessed the cruel methods of two different women. Woohoo... Thinking about how stupid I was before, I am fine now.

Xie Xian didn't know that someone had already started to frame him.

At this moment, she was busy preparing things for the princess, and was thinking that she could take this opportunity to increase the fame of her training class.

This plan was interrupted when he received the invitation from the eldest princess.

After sending off the arrogant officer, Hua Yin frowned and asked, "Are you really willing to let us go?"

She felt a little uneasy. She was used to begging for food from other powerful people. Now, after only spending less than half a month with the Queen, she felt reluctant to leave. They had a stable life with Xie Xian.

And I and others have found the dignity of being human.

"No matter what the outcome is, we cannot bring shame to the queen." Chizhou, dressed in green, stood behind Hua Yin. They were under the protection of Xie Xian.

It didn't bring much benefit to Xie Xian, but it caused a lot of trouble, which made them feel very guilty.

Xie Xian frowned. What was wrong with Jiu Zifu? The deal between her and the eldest princess shouldn't be so high-profile.

She just needs to present the gift and help train a few actors, and that's it. As a birthday gift, isn't the most important thing to keep it confidential?

I didn't understand. Could it be that she was overthinking? However, the malice in the officer's eyes just now was not concealed at all. I'm afraid that the banquet will not be a good one!

However, Xie Xian was not in a hurry. She had Tu Zhen by her side. Even if the princess had ill intentions towards her, so what? As a viscount appointed by the emperor himself, if anyone wanted to use force against her, they could not do anything to her unless it was a serious crime of treason.

After going over what she had done recently in her mind, Xie Xian felt that she had not done anything excessive, so she put it out of her mind.

At Prince Yu's Mansion, after reading Li Xi's letter, a look of surprise flashed across Li You's face. Why did his aunt suddenly bring up this matter again after such a long time?

It turned out that the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Prince Yu's son Li Zheng was Xie Xian, the princess of the Xie family. He threw the letter aside and asked his advisers about it.

"So, it's because Auntie wanted to take over the Hua Clan to vent her anger for her lover, and she fabricated a crime for him?"

Ah! My aunt's brain is really full of water! Who is Xie Xian? Did you have no one in your hands when you left Beidi?

He has always been paying attention to Xie Xian. He heard that a fleet specializing in combating pirates appeared in the southern sea and swept across the southeastern waters in the past half month. His men reported that the trade routes to the south have become much smoother.

Some people have seen that the fleet's vehicle is a black eight-slot ship, and because its shape resembles a sharp sword, it is nicknamed the Wave Cutter. Although the Wave Cutter is elusive, it sometimes restocks at the dock, and many people have seen it.

Listening to Zhan Lang’s description, isn’t this the pirate ship that came to rob them?

He remembered that those pirates were dealt with by the Xie family guards at that time, so the ownership of this ship was self-evident. Now he heard that Zhanlang had expanded into a fleet of five ships.

How could an aunt like me have the confidence to go against Xie Xian, who owns an entire fleet on the sea? Her brain must be filled with water, or she must have gone crazy!
