Chapter 556 Eagle Delivers Letter
Chu Nanyi thought for a moment and was quite worried about his situation: "If it's an internal injury, I'm afraid it won't work without taking medicine."
Xie Jin frowned and looked at him: "Can't you hope that I will be better?"
"What do you say?" Chu Nanyi smiled, "Aren't I worried about you too? It's better to be prepared in advance than to be caught off guard. I heard that if the imperial staff hits someone hard, it can maim someone. It’s possible.”
"Get out." Xie Jin said in a calm tone, "Don't appear in front of me again. I will be annoyed when I see you."
Chu Nanyi ignored his words and slowly took away the silver needle. She lowered her head to check whether the remaining poison had been completely removed, "I just want you to have a bottom line. It's useless for you to be so hostile to me, and it can't help you alleviate it." "Crime."
After a pause, he sighed: "To be honest, if the Lord's heart is not as cold and hard as iron, just me and Xuanyuan Yao, plus Xuanyuan Qi, Mo Lingan... the few of us will go to the front row of the Lord. Kneel down, beg for mercy, hug your legs and cry a few words, maybe you can reduce your guilt by half, but you know, our Lord is like this, if you really want to cry and beg for mercy, I'm afraid you won't die in the first place. There’s nothing left to live for.”
Holding the master's legs and crying?
Such a scene is simply unimaginable.
Xie Jin looked at him as if he were a fool: "Don't embarrass me here. Get out of here when you're done and prepare your medicinal ingredients. Do you need your mercy?"
What a joke.
Chu Nanyi smiled narrowly: "Aren't you worried that the delicate Master Jiu can't bear the punishment? After all, compared to the young general who was trained in a small military camp, your body is truly delicate and raised in a heap of splendid things. How ugly would it be to cry in front of the Lord?”
Xie Jin was always elegant and calm, and he couldn't do things like throwing things, otherwise he would have beaten Chu Nanyi out with a pillow or a broom.
Chu Nanyi packed up the medicine box and returned to the topic: "During the New Year, the Wei Palace moved frequently. Even officials from the Fang family secretly moved around for Xuanyuan Yan, but in the end they returned without success. I thought that after the Lord returns, The court has to be cleaned up again."
Xie Jin's eyebrows were deep: "Foolish people are still wasting food while they are still alive."
"But there is a question that you have thought about?" Chu Nanyi asked calmly, "It has always been a taboo for the Dongling royal family to kill each other, but this generation has caught up with the empress supported by the high priest to take power. If the master goes on a killing spree at this time, , will it catch people’s tongue and cause dissatisfaction among the royal family?”
Xie Jin sneered: "Whoever dares to be dissatisfied can give it a try."
Hearing his tone, Chu Nanyi couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth slightly: "Xie Jin, you are only a fifth-rank official now, can you stop talking so arrogantly?"
Xie Jin glanced at him and said calmly: "The Wei Wang family is seeking death on their own. The things Xuanyuanyan committed are punishable by death. This is not fratricide."
Anyone who dares to say that this is fratricide is deliberately confusing right and wrong and should be punished.
Chu Nanyi was speechless for a moment.
Xie Jin got dressed, walked to the mirror and took care of his appearance: "I still have many things to deal with, so I won't let you have lunch. Please do as you please."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Chu Nanyi walked out with him. The always elegant and graceful young master rarely said something awkward: "You should behave well, otherwise the crime will be increased."
Xie Jin turned his head and glanced at him, his eyes narrow: "Why are you looking so hard at me? You seem to be really looking forward to me being dealt with?"
The smile on Chu Nanyi's lips was just right and gentle: "Your illusion."
Xie Jin sneered.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Rong Yu and Nan Xi drove from the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. Because the weather was fine and comfortable, Rong Yu still didn't waste the good time he could take Nan Xi to see the scenery, and it took half a month to arrive at the border of Dongling.
Originally, according to his idea, he could take Nan Xi to play until mid-February. After all, after returning to the palace, he was tied up with a lot of court affairs, and it would be difficult to get out again in a year and a half.
He wanted Nan Xi to have fun and return to the palace before Hao'er's first birthday.
But plans don't change as quickly as they do.
A letter sent from a flying eagle to Shu Shengsheng ended the romantic journey back between him and Nan Xi.
"What's wrong?" Nan Xi stood on a rock, looking at the coldness clearly visible in Rong Yu's brows and eyes, and couldn't help but frown, "What happened in the Imperial Capital?"
Rong Yu handed her the unfolded letter in his hand.
Nan Xi lowered her eyes and finished reading, and the expression on Qingli's gentle face gradually faded: "The Prince of Wei's family seems to be particularly keen on going to the road of death. They will not give up until they reach the underworld."
"If you want to die, let him do it." Rong Yu said in an indifferent voice, "This time I can go back and do some cleaning."
Nan Xi tore up the letter in her hand, raised her fingers, and the fragments flew into the wind.
Her eyes slowly moved up from the endless valley at her feet to the vast blue sky in the distance. She sighed and said, "Go back to the palace earlier. If you delay any longer, Hao'er may not know our parents. "
Rong Yu hummed, "I'll come out to play again when I have the chance."
Nan Xi turned her head and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face: "My incomparable noble husband and regent, you should focus more on the important affairs of the government and stop thinking about it all day long."
Rong Yu grabbed her hand, put it to his lips and kissed it: "From the powerful officials to the common people, no one will just work for 360 days a year. There must be time to rest, otherwise they will die prematurely." What to do if he dies?”
"No nonsense." Nan Xi was sensitive to the word 'die early', and she especially didn't like to hear it coming from his mouth. "But you have worked hard for more than ten years, so of course you can take a break once in a while."
After a pause, "I can't be lazy anymore after returning to the palace. I have to share some of the burden for you."
Rong Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "Xi'er, who is sharing the burden for whom?"
The throne is obviously hers.
"Hmm?" Nan Xi glanced at him sideways, her tone calm and leisurely, "You seem to have a lot of opinions? You haven't been holding back your dissatisfaction for so long."
Rong Yu's smile deepened: "How dare I be dissatisfied? What if Xi'er gets angry and ignores me?"
Nan Xi also laughed.
But after a while, she slowly stopped smiling, her voice cold and quiet: "It doesn't matter how the Wei Wangfu tosses around on weekdays. It won't cause any big waves anyway. For the sake of the emperor, I can be as tolerant as possible to Xuanyuan Yan. But when it involves innocent lives, it can't be covered up by a few days in prison."
Rong Yu didn't say anything.
He understood Nan Xi's bottom line. The matter of the imperial seal could be regarded as treason, but whether to punish or not was just a matter of the king's decision. If no one knew that the imperial seal was stolen, the matter could be covered up and a minor punishment could be given as a major warning.
But those lives must be accounted for no matter what.
