After Passing the Top Scholar, the Court Hears My Inner Thoughts

At the moment when Shen Shixu was crowned as the top scholar, the golden finger that was late for eighteen years finally arrived. In his previous life, he passed away to save a child who fell into ...

Chapter 29 Princess Shoujia

Chapter 29 Princess Shoujia

Xiao Jinyi began to find excuses for himself to meet Chen Shixu in the future, and Chen Shixu said straightforwardly: "Don't worry, I definitely won't. I'm very happy that you can think of me the first time you encounter a problem."

Xiao Jinyi was happy and added more wine to Shen Shixu's glass. "You are so good to me, I have no way to repay you. I can only use these fine wines and delicacies to treat you well."

After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, the group of silent palace maids came in and cleared the leftovers off the table.

Xiao Jinyi arranged for someone to serve tea, and a young eunuch came in with two cups of hot tea, "Your Highness, Lord Shen, please have some tea."

"Ah Xu, try it quickly. This is the best Da Hong Pao. My uncle sent someone to bring it back when he was out in the martial arts world. This tea is between green tea and black tea. It has a green-brown and fresh color. After brewing it with hot water, the soup is bright orange-yellow. The leaves are red and green. It has a rich flavor, with a light orchid fragrance that is strong and long-lasting. You should like it."

Shen Shixu had just taken two sips of tea when Bai He came in in a hurry, "Your Highness, Princess Shoujia is here."

Xiao Jinyi now had a way to deal with it, and was no longer afraid of this aunt, so he asked Bai He to bring the person in quickly, "Why don't you invite the princess in quickly, and also ask the imperial kitchen to send in two more desserts and add another cup of black tea for the aunt."

After Bai He bowed, a gentle woman in a pomegranate red floor-length dress with plum blossom patterns and a bun combed in a cloud-like bun walked in. The woman had fair skin and was beautiful, but her eyes and eyebrows revealed a sense of melancholy. The brocade handkerchief in her hand was pulled into a mess. After she walked in, she held the handkerchief and looked at Xiao Jinyi with an unspeakable look.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Jinyi was afraid that she would burst into tears in the next second, so he quickly asked her to sit down, "Aunt Shoujia, please sit down quickly. I know why you came here, but it's really not your nephew who won't help you. I really have no choice.

Liang Junda committed a serious crime this time. If he had embezzled other things, there would be room for maneuver, but this time he embezzled the money allocated to disaster relief in the disaster area. Because of him, hundreds of people were injured or killed, and thousands of people were displaced.

If we let him go, who will give an explanation to the people who suffered because of him? ”

"I, I can slowly make it up to them in the future." Princess Shoujia felt that this idea was very good, and continued: "I can take care of them, give them money, arrange a place for them to live, and provide them with food and drink.

I'll make up for their losses. Would this save Junda's life? ”

Looking at Princess Shoujia like this, Shen Shixu covered his forehead with his hands in pain, feeling that his previous evaluation of this princess was still too light. This was not love-brained at all, this was simply love cancer, the evolved version of love-brained.

"Princess Shoujia, you said you wanted to make amends to the people who were harmed, so how are you going to make amends?

Some of them have lost their loved ones, some even lost their lives, and some will be disabled for life. What can you do to make up for them? Can you bring their loved ones back? Can they be brought back to life? Can they live their lives with all their limbs intact again? ”

Shen Shixu's words left Princess Shoujia speechless. In the end, she directly held her handkerchief to her eyes and cried, "Wow, I know I can't make up for it, but I can't just watch Junda die!"

When Xiao Jinyi heard the crying, his head suddenly started to hurt. Shen Shixu didn't want to listen to this crying, so after thinking about it, he decided to try a different approach.

"Princess, seeing how sad you are for Liang Junda, you must love him deeply, but love doesn't mean you indulge him blindly or clean up his mess blindly.

You've spoiled him by doing this, and it's you who's responsible for his current situation. ”

Princess Shoujia was so shocked that she even forgot to cry. She clutched her handkerchief to her chest and looked at Shen Shixu with red eyes, "Did I make him become like this?"

Shen Shixu thought that there is no creation without destruction, and nodded with gritted teeth, “Of course, if you hadn’t been filling in the holes for him all the time, letting him know that even if he made a big mistake, you would save him, he wouldn’t have made such a big mistake.

But I don't think he will blame you. Although I have never met Liang Junda, seeing that the princess loves him so much, he must love you very much too.

In order to prevent you from getting hurt, he should take responsibility himself, so in order to prevent his kindness from going to waste, you should stop making things difficult for yourself, His Highness, and the Queen Mother. ”

Princess Shoujia began to be moved when she heard Shen Shixu. In her eyes, Liang Junda really loved her as if her life, and it was reasonable for him to take responsibility for her.

But even so, she was still in pain. Seeing that she had calmed down, Shen Shixu continued, “We also know that you have a good relationship. Although we can’t save Liang Junda, we can still let you meet again.”

Princess Shoujia burst into laughter upon hearing this, and looked at Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi in surprise, "Can I really see Junda again?"

Chen Shixu winked at Xiao Jinyi. Xiao Jinyi was still immersed in how Chen Shixu had fooled Princess Shoujia just now. He admired Chen Shixu's eloquence, which had coaxed his aunt so much that she forgot her purpose.

Suddenly receiving a look from Shen Shixu, he almost forgot what Shen Shixu had told him before. Fortunately, his brain was not too stupid and he quickly remembered it.

"Aunt, I will arrange for you two to meet tomorrow night. Go back and prepare well. I will personally pick you up at your house tomorrow night."

Princess Shoujia happily agreed when she heard this, "Okay, okay, I'll wait for you at home."

Xiao Jinyi saw Princess Shoujia leave and called Bai He in. "You and Mo Yu go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and give Liang Junda the truth poison that the uncle gave me. Remember to give it to him secretly and don't let it be discovered. After I take Princess Shoujia to see him tomorrow, you can get it back for me."

When Bai He heard the truth, he understood what his prince and Lord Shen were going to do. Only Princess Shou Jia foolishly thought that Liang Junda really loved her as his life. Anyone else with a normal mind and normal eyes knew that Liang Junda was just using Princess Shou Jia.

"Yes, I will do it right away."

Xiao Jinyi nodded with satisfaction. Originally, he wanted to use torture to force Liang Junda to tell the truth, but then he thought that this was a bit risky.

When he mentioned his uncle while drinking tea, he remembered the poisonous insect his uncle gave him many years ago. Once that thing enters a person's body, the person who is parasitized by it must tell the truth.

Once he says something that is not insincere, he will suffer the pain of being eaten by thousands of insects. Even a man of iron cannot bear it, let alone Liang Junda, a greedy and righteous villain.

Just when Xiao Jinyi was feeling proud, Shen Shixu put his hands on his shoulders, slowly moved closer to him, his eyes glowing vaguely.
