Chapter 27 Isn't He a Fool?
Xiao Ning withdrew his hand, a look of regret on his face: "Fu Xian, don't say such things again in the future. I said before that I don't like to force others."
"Can……"
"No buts. If the princess asks you about this in the future, you can still answer like you did today. As long as you don't show any fear, what can she do?"
Fu Xian: “…”
Fu Xian thought about it and realized that he still couldn't accept having sex with a man.
If that were the case, it would be worse than asking him to eat flies.
As for the princess...
He was able to deceive the princess today, so why not tomorrow?
After figuring it out, Fu Xian started laughing, and in an instant, he was like spring flowers blooming all over the earth, beautiful and dazzling.
Xiao Ning praised: "It's really beautiful."
This sudden compliment made Fu Xian's body stiffen, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, with an expression of embarrassment.
Xiao Ning: “…”
No, you make me look like some wretched guy.
Fu Xian: "If you are alright, my Lord, I will go back first..."
Xiao Ning nodded, and the moment Fu Xian opened the door, he said, "Come over tonight."
Fu Xian: “…”
His steps stiffened for a moment, and then he responded in a muffled voice.
It's all his fault. Why did he laugh just now...
Originally, the Prince Consort had said not to force him, but his smug smile had bewitched the Prince Consort...
Woohoo, my life is so hard!
Xiao Ning looked at his back and laughed a little.
Everything was written on this guy's face. She didn't understand how he had deceived the princess.
Or maybe the princess actually saw it, but didn't intend to settle the score with her now?
Xiao Ning sighed.
Forget it, forget it. When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
At night, Fu Xian knocked on Xiao Ning's door tremblingly and walked into the room fearfully. He thought Xiao Ning was going to do something to him, but she just lay down on the bed and told him to shake the bed.
So Fu Xian squatted on the ground and rocked the bed for half the night.
He shook himself and hummed twice.
Xiao Ning glanced at him through the gauze curtain. After giving him a few pointers last night, he had already mastered the technique to perfection. Practice makes perfect.
The child is teachable.
Xiao Ning folded his hands on his abdomen and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
A good night's sleep here.
There was a sound of wailing in the Jingzhao prison.
Xu Lan waited for a long time but no one came back, so he started to panic. He packed up his things and prepared to leave the city and hide outside for a few days to see what the situation would be. Unexpectedly, when he left the city gate, he was pinned to the ground by the Jingzhao Prefecture officials.
Xu Lan was arrested and taken to Jingzhao Prefecture.
He was so delicate and tender that he could not withstand these torture methods. He confessed everything before the bailiffs could even use much strength.
Jingzhao Yin looked at the confession and was a little speechless.
The person has revealed his identity, but instead of begging for mercy and seeking leniency, you dared to allow someone to assassinate you.
Poor Minister of Rites, he probably doesn’t even know that he’s in big trouble!
Jingzhao Yin brushed the confession and said, "Go, copy this confession and send it to the Prime Minister's Office."
When the confession was delivered to the Shen Mansion, Shen Zhiyi was still awake. He took the testimony and read it hastily. The content was not much different from what Shen Ran said.
The next morning at court, Censor Wang made a report to the Minister of Rites.
It is said that he did not manage his family well and allowed his relatives to commit crimes.
Several adults seconded the motion, saying that they often heard that the nephew of the Minister of Rites bullied men and women and did evil things.
Then the Jingzhao Yin stepped forward and presented Xu Lan's testimony.
The Minister of Rites was sweating profusely and fell to his knees, "Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
"Unjust?"
After the emperor read the testimony, he immediately dismissed the Minister of Rites.
First he kidnapped a girl on the street, and then he hired someone to kill her.
This happened in Shengjing City, and the crime scene was chosen near Kangtaifang in the north of the city.
One is the daughter of the emperor's most trusted left prime minister, and the other is the son-in-law of the emperor's most beloved princess.
After knowing their identities, he still dared to assassinate them.
What a courage!
Isn't this a slap in the emperor's face?
The emperor's expression was very grim: "Lord Xu, are you planning a rebellion?"
The Minister of Rites placed his official hat on the ground, fell to the ground and sobbed, "I dare not! Heaven and earth can bear witness to my loyalty! It is because I was busy with government affairs that I neglected to discipline my relatives at home!"
After the court session, Prime Minister Shen returned to the Shen Mansion with a dark face.
"Call the eldest son over!"
Shen Zhiyi came over quickly.
He bowed to Prime Minister Shen and said, "Father."
Prime Minister Shen's expression remained grim: "What happened in the court today was your fault?"
Shen Zhiyi said, "Xu Song didn't manage his family well, and raised such a bastard. He even dared to bully his sister. Dismissing him from office is already a good thing for him."
Prime Minister Shen: "Do you know that this is a good handle? If we can use it well, then Xu Song will be ours. Why would you do that for Ran'er..."
"Father, Ah Ran is my sister who I watched grow up. I can't just stand by and watch her being bullied like this, let alone use this as a handle to threaten others."
Chen Xiang sighed, "You are still too kind-hearted. You don't know that those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters."
"By the way, I heard that it was that kid from the Xiao family who saved A'ran yesterday. Is that true?"
Shen Zhiyi nodded: "Yes, Prince Consort Xiao saved A'ran yesterday, and he also dealt with the dozen killers."
Chen Xiang's eyes paused, "That kid from the Xiao family... isn't he a useless idiot? How could he have such strength?"
Shen Zhiyi: “Yeah, maybe he’s hiding his strength.”
Chen Xiang frowned, "How could this kid be so cunning?"
Then he shook his head again, "No, if he truly had deep thoughts and kept them hidden for years, how could he reveal all his cards just to stand up for justice?"
Shen Zhiyi was also wondering about this.
"Father, Prince Consort Xiao saved A'ran. We should go to the Princess's residence to express our gratitude. I have already handed over the visiting card this morning and the gifts are ready."
Minister Shen nodded, "It's time to go to the princess's residence."
He had to observe the kid from the Xiao family carefully to see what her situation was.
"Dad, I want to go too!"
Just as Shen Zhiyi was about to help Shen Xiang get on the carriage, Shen Ran, dressed in pink, ran out of the house, grabbed Shen Xiang's sleeve, and panted, "Father, take me with you~"
Chen Xiang frowned and brushed her away, scolding her: "You are a girl, how can you behave so frivolously? How can you be so frivolous!"
"If you hadn't been running around all day, how could you have encountered such a disaster? I didn't have time to punish you, but instead of staying home and reflecting on your actions, you dared to run outside?"
Chen Ran: “…”
She pouted and looked at Shen Zhiyi pitifully.
Shen Zhiyi sighed and patted her head, "Be good, go home, and your brother will bring you some snacks from Judezhai when he comes back."
Shen Zhiyi helped Shen Xiang get into the car.
Shen Ran watched the two of them leave eagerly, then returned to the Shen Mansion with her head hung low.
The carriage soon arrived at the princess's mansion.
After explaining the purpose of the visit, the guard at the door went in to report and soon came out with Furong.
Furong smiled and saluted towards Prime Minister Chen, "Thank you for coming, Prime Minister Chen. Please come in!"
Chen Xiang: "I'm sorry for disturbing you by coming here without any prior notice."
"Prime Minister, what are you talking about! The princess would love to have you here!"
"The princess is waiting in the main hall. Prime Minister and Young Master, please come this way..."
Furong led the way.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the extravagant and gorgeous princess mansion, and frowned slightly.
