Chapter 17 The Prince of Zhenbei is about to cry!
"Your Highness! This...this is unnecessary!"
Xie Yuanxun was so shocked that he was speechless!
He stammered, "King Chu, King Chu shouldn't have time, right? He must be very busy... After all, I just heard a couple of days ago that he seems to have gotten some kind of assignment."
"Anyway, what did my brother order him to do? He's probably too busy taking care of himself to have time to help me govern Fuzhou!"
No matter how angry he was, Xie Yuanxun had to grit his teeth and force a smile when facing Xie Xuanyin.
But at this moment, his smile looked even more like a grimace.
He did want to vent his anger on Xie Xuanyin.
Even though he was an elder, Xie Xuanyin was the Crown Prince, the heir apparent!
He was a subject!
How could he dare disobey the Crown Prince's command?!
"Moreover, the capital is not close to Fuzhou. It will take the King of Chu at least a while to put aside his current affairs and come to Fuzhou."
Xie Yuanxun quickly suppressed his shock and anger, and said in a reasonable manner, "I have already made arrangements for the bandit suppression. Even if the Prince of Chu sets off tomorrow, he will not be able to make it in time! It will only ruin my plans!"
"Won't."
Xie Xuanyin pretended not to notice that Xie Yuanxun was so anxious he was about to jump up and down.
He smiled and said, "The Prince of Chu stayed at Tianzhao Temple last night, and he should have already come down the mountain by now. It will only take him an hour to come to the Prince of Zhenbei's residence."
"What?!"
Xie Yuanxun was startled again!
Is Xie Xuansong also in Fuzhou?
Did you stay overnight at Tensō-ji Temple last night?!
That bastard didn't mention it to him at all!
"Even if I inform my father and ask the court to send someone to help my sixth uncle, I'm afraid it will be too far away and much slower than the arrival of the Prince of Chu."
Xie Xuanyin stood up and made the final decision, "I have already sent someone to inform the Prince of Chu, and he should be arriving soon. Sixth Imperial Uncle, prepare yourselves to discuss the matter of suppressing the bandits with the Prince of Chu!"
"As for my return to the capital with Ali, I won't trouble Sixth Imperial Uncle to escort us personally."
He had barely finished speaking when Feng Qing strode in. "Master, Governor Yang has arrived!"
"Governor Yang?"
Xie Yuanxun's eyes flickered—wasn't that Yang Min, the Imperial Guard Commander personally appointed by the Emperor?!
Seeing his expression change, Xie Xuanyin knew that he knew who the person was.
"Now that Governor Yang has arrived in Fuzhou, it must be that Father Emperor sent him to pick up me and Ali. Therefore, Sixth Imperial Uncle does not need to make this trip. He can stay and think about how to suppress the bandits."
As they were talking, Yang Min quickly walked in.
After bowing, he said solemnly, "Your Highness, His Majesty is very worried after learning that you and the Crown Princess encountered bandits. He has specially sent me to escort you back to the capital!"
"Um."
Xie Xuanyin nodded.
Yang Min then said to Xie Yuanxun, "Also, His Majesty has instructed me to deliver a message to the Prince of Zhenbei."
"The bandits of Tianzhao Mountain have been rampant for quite some time. Although His Majesty trusts the Prince of Zhenbei, he is furious that the bandits have injured the Crown Prince and Crown Princess!"
With just one sentence, Xie Yuanxun's face turned pale with fright!
"His Majesty has given Prince Zhenbei half a month. If bandits still exist in Tianzhao Mountain within half a month, I will personally lead troops to assist Prince Zhenbei in suppressing the bandits!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuanxun clenched his fists!
Xie Xuanyin had just sent Xie Xuansong to help him suppress the bandits.
He hadn't even had a chance to refuse before Xie Yuanhe got involved again!
This father and son are both incredibly difficult to deal with!
However, Xie Xuanyin was the crown prince, and he could not refuse.
Xie Yuanhe is the emperor; if he refuses, it would be defying the imperial decree!
Xie Yuanxun forced a smile and was about to speak when Xie Xuanyin said, "For the time being, there is no need to trouble Governor Yang. I have already discussed with the Sixth Imperial Uncle that the Prince of Chu will stay and help him suppress the bandits."
Xie Yuanxun: "...That's right."
He hasn't agreed yet!
Besides, Xie Xuanyin didn't even consult him!
This is so humiliating!
He used to not dare to disobey Xie Yuanhe, but now he can't even protest against the words of that brat Xie Xuanyin!
"His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed very thoughtful."
Yang Min smiled, while Xie Yuanxun almost cried.
Soon, the doctor came out and reported that the Crown Princess was fine. Then he began to treat Qingying.
Seeing how badly she was injured, the doctor gasped and said that the girl had been given a second chance at life, and that she was destined for good fortune.
Seeing that Xie Xuanyin and the others didn't look too good, the doctor awkwardly shut up.
The atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive.
Just as the doctor was wishing he could flee in panic, a servant from the royal palace cautiously entered and said that the King of Chu was right outside the door.
Upon hearing that Xie Xuansong had arrived so quickly, Xie Yuanxun's expression turned even more unpleasant!
But since he's already here, we can't turn him away.
Even though Xie Yuanxun was unwilling, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Please let him in."
...
The backyard wing room.
Runyue ran in carrying a box of candied fruit. "Your Highness! His Highness the Crown Prince said that your mouth tasted bitter after taking the medicine, so he specially instructed Fengqing to prepare candied fruit."
"Try one!"
She popped a candied fruit into Shen Ruoli's mouth, her eyes sparkling, "Is it sweet?"
The sweet taste quickly spread across the tip of the tongue.
Shen Ruoli nodded. "Not bad."
She is not afraid of hardship, but she is afraid of things that are hard to eat.
In her previous life, Xie Xuanyin would always prepare candied fruit if she took medicine.
I didn't expect him to remember!
"It must be very sweet, right? The Crown Princess's eyes are smiling."
Runyue joked for a moment, then, as if remembering something, quickly added, "Oh, right! Your Highness, the Prince of Chu has arrived at the Zhenbei Prince's residence! His Highness and the others are talking to him right now!"
"Xie Xuansong?"
Shen Ruoli frowned. "Why is he here?"
Did they know Qingying was at the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion and come here on purpose?
Did Xie Yuanxun send him the message?
"Feng Qing said that His Highness summoned him."
Why?
Shen Ruoli suddenly became a little nervous.
Could it be that Xie Xuanyin noticed something was wrong with Qingying?
Or was he trying to sabotage her plans?!
After all, he knew last night that she was going to return Qingying to Xie Xuansong!
“I asked Feng Qing, but he wouldn’t say at first. But Feng Qing needs something from me…”
Leap Moon chuckled, "Feng Qing secretly told this servant that His Highness plans to keep the Prince of Chu in Fuzhou for a while to assist the Prince of Zhenbei in suppressing bandits! He is not to return to the capital without being summoned!"
Shen Ruoli's eyes widened in shock!
Xie Xuanyin wanted to keep Xie Xuansong in Fuzhou?
Did he also assist Xie Yuanxun in suppressing bandits?
"Your Highness, His Highness is backing you up!"
Seeing that she didn't speak, Runyue quickly spoke again.
"support?"
Shen Ruoli indicated that she did not understand.
What kind of support is it to keep Xie Xuansong in Fuzhou?
Xie Xuanyin is clearly plotting revenge against Xie Xuansong because of his past life, isn't he?
Leap Moon asked in a serious tone, "Crown Princess, do you think that keeping the Prince of Chu in Fuzhou is most disadvantageous to the Prince of Chu himself, or more disadvantageous to the Prince of Zhenbei?"
It is often said that those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.
At this moment, the intercalary month clearly saw the situation more clearly than Shen Ruoli!
She whispered, "Moreover, the Prince of Zhenbei has never liked you, and last night he even publicly reprimanded you for causing His Highness the Crown Prince to be injured."
"The Crown Prince's actions are a deliberate attempt to suppress the Prince of Zhenbei, in order to vent your anger!"
"Oh! I see!"
Shen Ruoli raised an eyebrow slightly. "So it is indeed His Highness who is backing me up."
However she saw it, this matter was not as simple as just offering superficial support!
Xie Xuanyin would never lose his mind because of a woman.
If she hadn't been pregnant in her previous life, Xie Xuanyin wouldn't have lowered his standards for her time and time again!
And now, filled with hatred after his rebirth, he would never turn against Xie Yuanxun because of her!
