Xie Xian leaned over and reached out to the princess.

"Princess, are you okay? Let me help you up." Xie Xian's face was full of concern for Li Xi.

Li Xi had just recovered from the shock and saw Xie Xian coming forward to help her. She thought the crisis was over.

But when he heard her call herself a subject, his legs suddenly went weak and he sat back down.

He kept saying, "No, don't come over. You must not come over."

At this time, the maids around him hurried forward and pulled Li Xi up from the ground.

She sat on the couch and took a breath, then looked at the eunuch next to her with disgust and said, "Take this idiot who misinterpreted the emperor's intention out!"

The eunuch did not resist when he was dragged away, but only looked at Li Xi steadily. A close servant like him could take the blame for his master at any time, but no one expected that he would fall for a little Northern Queen this time.

Li Xi didn't care about it at all. This is what the superiors call "it's something that can be understood but not expressed in words". If you do well, it's what you should do. If you don't do well, won't someone else take the blame?

At this time, the ministers jumped out and said, "It was that eunuch who was so arrogant just now. He was disrespectful to the lady."

"Yes, yes, the princess is the most tolerant and kind person, how could she embarrass the officials in the court!" They talked at once, trying their best to put the matter behind them.

"Oh, I see. But you just asked me for the music score. It would be bad if I didn't give it to you!" Xie Xian said pretentiously.

"As for that, since you have already given it to me, the princess will remember your kindness!"

Xie Xian smiled as if she didn't care about the unpleasantness just now. She said, "Actually, I still like Kuaiji County very much. It's a pity..."

What a pity, oh my god! Please don't feel sorry for it, or we will have to travel abroad.

Li Xi took a step back under Xie Xian's burning gaze, and had to put on a kind expression on his face despite the lingering fear, fearing that Xie Xian would say something shocking again.

Cui Jing, who was far away, watched the whole process and covered the corners of his mouth with his sleeves. He had tried his best to restrain himself, but he really couldn't hold it back.

This was the first time that Ah Xian was so dazzling that she could force the princess to retreat in the palace and dare not say anything.

Xie Xian continued, "Ah! Actually, I am very happy that the White Snake is liked by the princess. However, the princess treats me like this, which is a waste of Xian's kindness!"

"The princess really likes it and will definitely show her support in the future!" Jiuzifu saw the west wind overwhelming the east wind in front of him and jumped out to seek a sense of existence.

"Oh, that red coral just now was so beautiful!" Xie Xian smacked her lips.

Jiu Zifu winked at Li Xi frantically, and the latter could only nod in disbelief, "Oh, the princess also thinks that Hong Shanhu is a good match for the lady!"

Li Xi felt numb. She had never felt so aggrieved in just 25 years. Every time Jiu Zifu asked her, she would mechanically answer, "Yes," "Right."

Then when they counted the inventory later, they found that many of the good things they collected this time had been extorted by Xie Xian.

The price of these things is more than ten times higher than the value of the Hua family. It's a big loss! But she didn't dare not give it. Since Xie Xian accepted her things, it meant that the matter was over, and she could rest assured, but there was always a thorn in her heart.

The group of wealthy ladies sitting below also watched the whole thing from beginning to end. Just now, when Li Xi forced Xie Xian to kneel down, she was ready to stand up for Xie Xian, but she didn't expect that Xie Xian could scare the princess so much with just one sentence.

But who would have thought that although Xie Xian is usually low-key, her background is extraordinary.

He really had 20,000 soldiers under his command! That was as many as the soldiers under the command of the Grand Commandant of Kuaiji. Such a force would be a welcome guest wherever it went, yet it was so unknown.

They had a better impression of Xie Xian.

But at this moment, Xie Xian was thinking that there must be more than just these people coming to Princess Ying Ping's mansion.

Just blocking the golden toad can discourage many people, so can she pick up some resumes and take a look at them?

In this era, in addition to recommendations from acquaintances, the only ways to become a retainer were to send greetings or letters of recommendation. There was also a name card, which was equivalent to a personal resume, which stated one's name, hometown, official position, education background, skills, etc.

It is estimated that most of those collected by the princess's mansion cannot pass the first test. She glanced at Jiu Zifu next to her and thought that this old guy could still be of some use.

And Jiuzifu, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly shuddered at this moment.

Not only did Li Xi lose face at today's banquet, but she was also blackmailed by Xie Xian. She was naturally unhappy, but she didn't dare to take action against Xie Xian again.

When the banquet was over and most people had left, he winked at Li You frantically.

Li You thought that his aunt had really found some evidence against Xie Xian, or that there was some misunderstanding between the two.

I could only bite the bullet and ask, "Excuse me, Lady, are you acquainted with anyone from the Beggars' Sect? Someone reported that the man who kidnapped Prince Yu knew you."

Xie Xian frowned slightly, her heart skipping a beat. It was impossible. No one else knew about this except herself and Xie An. Besides, Xiang Jie, who was doing the work, rarely appeared, so it was even more impossible for him to be recognized.

She shook her head and said, "I wonder why the prince said that?" Come on, let me see which little cutie thinks I did it.

Li Xi winked at the back, and two guards came up dragging the disheveled old Qiantou.

Xie Xian raised her eyebrows. Wow! She really found Lao Qian! But Lao Qian didn't recognize her.

Li Zheng had recognized this man a long time ago. He was the old man who put the skirt on him. He even recognized the dog.

Old Qian had his head drooped as if he was asleep. Two days ago, the jailer had leaked the news to him and asked him to identify a girl in red clothes, so that he could get away with it after the deed was done.

He agreed. He had nothing much to live for anyway, so it would be good if he could bring down a noble person with his life.

When he arrived at the main hall, he raised his head, glanced at the leftovers on the tables around him, and swallowed his saliva. He hadn't eaten for a long time.

Through her tangled hair, she looked up at the distinguished person in front of her, Li Xi, who was sitting in the main seat, with an anxious look on her face. She only had this one chance tonight, and if she could, she would succeed in identifying Xie Xian.

Then Xie Xian would be in trouble. Even if she didn't do it, so what? As long as she was suspected, she could explain what happened before to Emperor Qi.

Li You looked calm, he was just waiting for a result. Since it was said that Xie Xian did it, then he had to produce evidence.

Xie Xian put her hands in her lap and looked at the old man in front of her with an indifferent expression. She thought for a moment. This guy has disappeared since he sent his brother to the guillotine.

After what he and others had agreed on was done, he couldn't find anyone to tell him about his son. Unexpectedly, he ended up in the prison of the princess's mansion. It was really hard to find him.

"Who is kneeling? Do you know that kidnapping the prince of Yu is a capital crime?" The criminal officer from the princess's mansion nearby stepped forward and asked.

"I know my crime. It's because Xishan Temple is too dishonest." They took my money and then used me to exchange for money.

Everyone:.......Now that we know how you got here, there’s no need to emphasize it.
