Xie Xianyu's face darkened. "Let Zhu Jia come over."
Qing'an immediately agreed and ran away.
Not long after, Zhu Jia was invited over. Zhu Jia knew Qing An, and when she saw that it was Xie Xianyu who wanted to see her, she put down what she was doing and hurried over.
As soon as she came in, she saw Wanruo sitting next to Xie Xianyu. Her eyes darkened and she bowed and said, "Young Master Xie, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
Xie Xianyu's eyes were colder than ever before. "I heard from Zhao Chong that you were the one who ordered him to give up pursuing the remaining rebels?"
Zhu Jia's face froze slightly. She never thought that he came to her for such a small matter.
Zhu Jia turned her head to look at Zhao Chong, but Zhao Chong didn't dare to look up. If it wasn't for the last resort, Zhao Chong wouldn't dare to report her.
She knew she couldn't hide it, so she said in a deep voice, "Yes, we had already wiped out the rebels who attacked from this side, but the Crown Prince's life or death was still uncertain. Out of consideration, I ordered him to go to support him."
This statement is absolutely flawless. In the chaotic situation, the prince must be given priority.
Xie Xianyu raised his lips coldly, but he had seen many such excuses in the court due to the intrigues and deceptions, and he would not fall for it.
They are all foxes, how can you fool them?
"Did the prince report the danger at that time?"
Zhu Jia's eyes froze: "Yes, no, but I'm worried..."
"General Zhu is a veteran of the military, so he should understand the strict military rules better than I do. Without any unexpected incidents, you arbitrarily changed the original deployment. Is General Zhu trying to play a joke?"
"Not to mention that this group of remnants nearly killed dozens of innocent ladies, if they had sneaked into the river and attacked the dragon boats by surprise, what would be your crime if you mobilized your troops without authorization and let these remnants go?"
Zhu Jia was already stiff, unable to utter a word, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Wang Qi looked at her silently and mourned for her in advance in his heart.
You don't have to mess with anyone but Lord Xie. Anyone who has been in the capital for a while will know that those old foxes in the court avoid him. If you mess with him, he will always find a way to punish whoever he wants to deal with.
Only the young ladies in the capital who were not too involved in the affairs of state thought that he was as beautiful as the clear moon and the gentle breeze. Who in the court would not avoid him?
Today's transfer order can be a big deal or a small one. After all, Zhu Jia is also doing this for the Crown Prince. But Madam Xie almost got into trouble. How can Lord Xie let her go?
This matter can only be a big deal.
Zhu Jia was almost humiliated by what he said, his face turning pale and blue. It was clearly just a small matter and did not cause any loss, but he was so relentless!
"I didn't think this matter through..." Zhu Jia opened his mouth with difficulty.
Xie Xianyu's eyes were icy. "I originally thought that Marquis Ding'an was a strict military leader, and that every member of the Meng family army should be as brave as him. But now it seems they are just so-so."
Zhu Jia's face was blue from being stabbed, but he didn't even give her a single shred of dignity?
"I will send a letter to Marquis Ding'an and ask him to send someone else to the capital to handle the affairs. If the 100,000-strong Meng family army ignores military regulations and acts recklessly, it seems that we will not be able to defend the border."
Zhu Jia's throat choked and her hands and feet turned cold. He was trying to take away her power.
Yi Yu attaches great importance to the cooperation with the Xie family. This time, Yi Yu entrusted her with an important task and asked her to go to Beijing to support the prince on his behalf. If Xie Xianyu asked for a replacement, Yi Yu would probably not trust her anymore.
She panicked and pleaded: "Thank you, sir, I..."
Xie Xianyu didn't even look at her again. He just picked up Wanruo and strode out.
She dared to ignore Wanruo's life, which was a slap in his face. How could he tolerate her?
Xie Xianyu walked to the entrance of the colorful tent, glanced at the still trembling Zhao Chong, and said coldly, "Ten strokes of the cane and a fine of half a cent of your salary."
Zhao Chong quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you very much, sir, thank you very much, sir!"
Xie Xianyu didn't stay any longer and left with Wanruo in his arms. Qing'an followed immediately.
