After escaping with her bestie, she became the white moonlight of the crazy prince

"This is the condition proposed by Mr. Lin."

Shen Chu conveyed Mr. Lin's words to Xie Ming verbatim.

At that time, Xie Ming was sitting opposite her, looking up at her quietly, his eyes full of seriousness.

After hearing Shen Chu's last words, Xie Ming hummed lightly and then said, "Okay, this condition is not difficult to meet."

only……

Thinking of Prime Minister Sun, whom Shen Chu had just mentioned, Xie Ming suddenly thought of something, "Old Lin's son was beheaded?"

He has a very clear understanding of the movement of officials from various places over the years.

The current Yancheng County Magistrate took office three years ago.

The reason why he was transferred to Yancheng was because the previous Yancheng County Magistrate was demoted.

The previous county lieutenant was found to have embezzled taxes and should have been beheaded in public.

However, Your Majesty, taking into account the many good deeds that Qi did for the people of Yancheng during his tenure and the small amount of corruption, only exiled him to a remote place.

No direct killing order was issued.

Originally, Shen Chu just mentioned it casually, not wanting to cause trouble to Xie Ming at this time, but since Xie Ming took the initiative to ask, she could only respond, "Well, Mr. Lin didn't mention his son much, but only mentioned his son at the end of the conversation."

"I think he might not be obsessed with it anymore."

Shen Chu did not say that Mr. Lin had let it go. After all, how could such a thing be let go just like that?

I just don't want to talk about my sad things too much.

Upon hearing this, Xie Ming's expression became serious. He did not hide what he knew from Shen Chu and told him directly.

"Three years ago, the current Yancheng County Lieutenant took office. At the same time, the previous Yancheng County Lieutenant was discovered to have embezzled taxes. The emperor was furious, but considering the many good deeds he had done for Yancheng during his tenure and the small amount of embezzlement, he did not behead him. Instead, he exiled him to the remote northwest."

Xie Ming spoke very quickly when he said this, with no expression on his face, but his tone was very serious.

At first, Shen Chu didn't understand why Xie Ming suddenly said such words in the tone of narrating history books, but after hearing the second half of the words, he understood everything.

relegate!?

Shouldn't they just behead him as a warning to others?

Her eyes suddenly widened, and she felt that she had caught a glimpse of the truth.

Your Majesty did not order his beheading, so who falsely conveyed the imperial edict?

Thinking of something, Shen Chu suddenly said, "Your Highness, who is the county lieutenant in Yancheng working for?"

She actually already had some guesses in her mind, but still wanted to confirm it from Xie Ming.

After all, as the crown prince, Xie Ming had been in Beijing for so many years and knew much more dirty things than she did.

Soon, Shen Chu got the answer to this question from Xie Ming.

Xie Ming was not wearing black as usual today, but changed into a light blue robe, which was a rare change. The faint murderous aura that always lingered around him disappeared completely, leaving only a bit of youthful spirit.

The dark eyes stared at him quietly, the thin lips opened slightly, and the words spoken directly confirmed Shen Chu's guess.

"Before the current Yancheng County Magistrate came to Yancheng to take up his post, someone saw him visit Prime Minister Sun."

The tone was calm, but the words were anything but calm.

As soon as the last word fell, Shen Chu clenched his fists.

That's right.

Who else can cover the sky with one hand in front of Your Majesty?

Sun Shiquan and Sun Xiang were very kind and unyielding.

"It's better not to tell Elder Lin about this matter for now, to avoid unnecessary sadness."

Shen Chu was about to say this, but Xie Ming beat him to it.

Shen Chu raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of Xie Ming, staring at him seriously, observing his eyebrows and eyes, with an especially serious look.

This action quickly attracted Xie Ming's attention. He raised his eyes slightly, puzzled, "Chu'er, what are you doing?"

Why are you looking at him with such... weird eyes?

Shen Chu did not answer his question, but suddenly said, "Your Highness, you have changed."

His tone was firm, as if it was true.

After hearing this, Xie Ming almost wondered if something had really changed about himself.

But he knew very well.

not at all.

But he still smiled, casually propped up one hand to support his face, and looked at Shen Chu, "What has changed?"

His posture was relaxed and casual, a look Shen Chu had never seen before.

After leaving the capital, Xie Ming seemed to have taken off a layer of false clothing, and only his true self was left.

Shen Chu looked at Xie Ming's upturned eyes, supported his face with both hands, blinked slowly, and gave an answer, "Your Highness never cared about his subordinates before."

If it were someone else who dared to say such words in front of Xie Ming, he would have been dragged away and beaten with a stick.

But the person in front of me is different.

When Xie Ming heard her say this, the corners of his originally upturned eyes lowered, and he let out a short laugh, "Chu'er, I'm not a careless person."

He seemed to be explaining something, but did not deny Shen Chu's statement.

Seeing Xie Ming like this, Shen Chu spoke again, "Your Highness now is very different from the one I knew in the capital."

Xie Ming was about to say something, but Shen Chu added, "But I am absolutely certain that the person sitting in front of me at this moment is the real His Highness."

The nights in Yancheng were always dark before Shen Chu came to Beijing, but the bright moonlight appeared in succession in the past two days.

The incomplete moon is surrounded by thousands of stars, lighting up the night of Yancheng.

The bright moonlight poured in through the window lattice and fell on the girl's peaceful smiling face, as if covering her with a veil, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

Xie Ming's fingertips moved, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, pulling the person into his arms. His low, hoarse voice rang in Shen Chu's ear. The atmosphere was ambiguous and charming, but the topic was extremely serious. "Before it is truly resolved, telling each other about this will only bring sadness to each other."

A large hand rested on his waist. Shen Chu blinked slowly and said after a moment, "Then I won't tell you. I'll tell you after we get the result."

Hopefully there will be a result.

After he finished speaking, Shen Chu added another sentence in his mind.

The scent of ambergris enveloped her completely, and Shen Chu quickly received a response from Xie Ming, "There will be results."

It just happened to answer what she was saying in her heart.

The topic ended here, and Shen Chu wanted to stand up, but as soon as she stood up, the hand around her waist immediately tightened.

"Chu'er..."

It was an intimate call, and with it came a hot kiss.

The hand on her waist tightened, and Xie Ming's powerful heartbeat became clearer, and every beat overlapped with hers.

Her heartbeat was abnormally fast.

But Xie Ming's heartbeat sounded the same way.

Does this mean... this is normal?

After realizing this, Shen Chu loosened his clenched hands and lightly bit Xie Ming's lower lip.

If that was the case, then she would be relieved.
