Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1769

Xiao Zhi had no interest in the throne.

He wanted to return to his fiefdom to be a leisurely prince, or to manage his fiefdom to make it prosperous and peaceful like Princess Yongle, which would be the greatest achievement of his life.

He never really coveted that position!

He even felt that if Cen Yuan was really a prince who had fallen into the common people, and his father was determined to train him to be the crown prince, it would actually be a blessing for Beiyi.

He is capable of maintaining peace in the country through literary skills and stabilizing the country through military force. How many people can have such extraordinary talents?

Xiao Zhi sent Eunuch An away.

Originally, Eunuch An should have died as an apology, but Xiao Zhi saved him out of personal feelings.

He sorted out the whole thing, thinking about An Xia's attitude that night.

He came and went in a hurry, just to take away the silver carbon given by him.

But she didn't ask any extra questions.

He thought, maybe she already knew that carbon was poisonous, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm.

Xiao Zhi went incognito again and entered the young master's residence.

He has to plead guilty.

It happened that Envoy Shen and Madam Anguo were both there, as was Madam Meng, and it was said that they were examining Shi Anxia's body.

Bei Hui was very apologetic, "Your Highness, please sit for a while. Our wife can't come for a while."

Xiao Zhi nodded, "It doesn't matter, tell the imperial sister not to worry."

The tea he drank went from hot to cold, and then from cold tea to hot tea, and he waited for a long time.

Bei Hui came to apologize several times, saying, "Our lady will need some time."

When Xiao Zhi heard Bei Hui calling her "our Madam", he knew that Shi Anxia had never really cared about the title of "Princess" and had never wronged Cen Yuan.

He waited for a while, but nothing happened, so he said goodbye and returned to the palace.

The next day, Shi Anxia handed the jade token into the palace to ask for an audience with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and specifically insisted that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wait in the palace instead of going to her house in person.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bestowed an apricot-yellow sedan chair and had Shi Anxia carried all the way into the Wenhua Palace.

Shi Anxia performed the salute as usual, with a very standard posture, even the arc of her bend was exactly the same as the "Rules of the Ministry of Rites". It was just that she was physically handicapped and her movements were slow.

Xiao Zhi felt so embarrassed in front of her that he could not hide his feelings. "My dear sister, there is no need to be polite."

He gave a seat.

Xiao Shuzi stood with his hands hanging beside the vermilion lacquered pillars of the Wenhua Hall, his eyes fixed on the carvings on the blue bricks.

This is what Eunuch Qi taught him: If you want to control your eyes, first find a dead object to stare at, and then recite the third rule of "Eunuch Discipline" in your mind: "The poison of the ears and eyes is worse than poison."

Eunuch Qi had taught him that as a servant, he should see what he should see and not see what he should not see. He should listen to what he should listen to and not listen to what he should not listen to. He should remember what he should remember and forget what he should not remember.

There are also three "don'ts" to save your life: don't ask without permission, don't spread rumors without permission, and don't make decisions without permission. Only in this way can you live long and smoothly in this deep palace.

After Bei Hui helped Shi Anxia sit down, she also stood beside the little tree.

Inside the palace.

Xiao Zhi spoke first, "I sent Eunuch An to Huizhou to live out his retirement."

Shi Anxia lowered her eyes and said nothing. After a while, she said "hmm".
