Xie Zhao entered the imperial study, and the eunuchs and palace maids serving him tactfully withdrew.
Xiao She sat on the dragon throne, his brows wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
"That person stole Zhao Fendie's clothes as a disguise. He clearly knew that Jiang Yuzhu and Zhao Fendie were friends. Was it just a quarrel between the women, or was he targeting the Jiang and Xie families?"
The flood in the south has not subsided, the scapegoat Su Wenshan is still imprisoned in the Dali Temple, and the barbarians in the north are ready to make a move.
Xiao She sits in a high position and has endless worries every day.
"At this critical moment, the Queen Mother forced me to select a concubine. I feel sick just by looking at the Xuan family!"
Xiao She had been holding back these heartfelt words for a long time, and only revealed them when facing Xie Zhao.
"Yuanhe, thanks to you for reminding me to send people to monitor the Dali Temple. The food sent to Su Wenshan was poisoned several times. The person behind this is planning to kill him to silence him and turn the Su family into a mess."
Xiao She was confused and overwhelmed.
Regarding the flood, the Su family, and the war in the north, the factions quarreled non-stop during the morning court session every day, and a bunch of rubbish couldn't come up with anything useful!
Xie Zhao listened quietly and repeated calmly, "Your Majesty, the time has come to act."
Since the water is muddy, it is better to stir it even more muddy, as the saying goes, fishing in troubled waters.
"Don't forget, my jade beads have performed great service."
Jiang Yuzhu's arrest was actually an opportunity. Our side could take advantage of it to gain more benefits.
The incident happened suddenly, and Xie Zhao had no choice but to take advantage of the situation.
If someone bullies his wife, Xie Zhao will not let it go no matter what the reason.
Xiao She slowly sat down on the chair, his face dejected. "Yuanhe, I'm in a state of confusion, my mind is like a mess, you might as well speak frankly."
Not long ago, Xiao She received news that the criminals used Zhao Fendie's clothes as bait, and he was very unhappy.
He thought carefully about the reason. Could it be that every time he went out of the palace in plain clothes, Ji Chengyun repeatedly mistook him for an adulterer and chased him, so he really thought of himself as Zhao Fendie's adulterer?
This thought was somewhat consuming his mind.
"Your Majesty, I just went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom and learned that Xuan Yao had left the palace and returned to Xuan Mansion."
Xie Zhao didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Let's send someone to kidnap Xuan Yao, and if there's a chance, we can go to Qingzhu Academy to capture Xuan Qi."
"A spoonful of stew, stewing the Xuan family in one pot?"
Xiao She sat up straight, thinking carefully and understanding Xie Zhao's plan, and gave a thumbs up. "Yuanhe, are you helping me, or are you clearing the way for Jiang Yuzhu?"
Once upon a time, the two of them were so close that they almost wore the same pants.
Xie Zhao did not return home. He spent most of his time talking with Xiao She by candlelight. Even on their wedding night, the two of them were discussing matters in the palace. The relationship between the monarch and his subject did not affect their brotherly love.
Brothers are like limbs, and women are like clothes.
Right now, Xie Zhao only has Jiang Yuzhu in his heart. The emperor is not as important as a woman. Xiao She feels jealous and resentful.
Xie Zhao put down the teacup and asked in slight surprise, "Your Majesty, what's the difference?"
Abducting Xuan Yao and Xuan Qi would only cause chaos in the Xuan family.
The Queen Mother will be furious and will definitely send the Xuan family to look for the person, and we will take this opportunity to find out the Xuan family's secret plans.
"We should proceed with caution and put the blame on the purple-robed man who kidnapped Yuzhu and the dark forces behind the incident. The Xuan family will take care of them."
These are already two major benefits.
"If the news of Xuan Yao's abduction gets out, her reputation will be tarnished. How can she sit on the throne of empress?"
If the empress dowager felt resentful, she could not blame the emperor, but should instead blame the person who abducted Jiang Yuzhu.
Xiao She had already thought of this and praised him, "Yuanhe, you've mastered the art of diverting trouble to others."
There are hidden benefits to doing so. Xie Zhao can use this to vent Jiang Yuzhu's anger in disguise and catch all of Xuan's family members and the kidnappers in one fell swoop.
"So, Jiang Yuzhu is more important than me?"
Xie Zhao was almost at the door when Xiao She asked again.
Although I already have the answer in my heart, I won’t give up until I hear it!
"Yes, because Yuzhu is Wanwan's mother."
Xie Zhao paused, and a rare soft look appeared in his dark and calm eyes.
Xiao She lost his balance and the cup lid fell off and shattered into pieces. He didn't care about the teacup and was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out: "Yuanhe, Jiang Yuzhu is pregnant?"
Otherwise, who is Wanwan?
Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu have been married for more than three years. Jiang Yuzhu often appears in public, but there is no news of them having children.
Xie Zhao turned sideways, revealing a genuine smile as he said, "Not yet. I've chosen names ahead of time. Both boys and girls will use the nickname Wanwan. It's just that it's too late, and I'm looking forward to it."
"Yuzhu has been wronged this time and has helped the emperor a lot. Is the emperor ready to reward her?"
What Xie Zhao was interested in was not the things built in the palace, but the craftsmen in the palace.
His wife was planning to open a jewelry shop, but was troubled by the fact that she couldn't find a craftsman.
When Xiao She heard this, his forehead throbbed with anger, and his heart ached. He said bitterly, "Yuanhe, you were never like this before. Ever since you were abducted by Jiang Yuzhu, you've become even more vulgar!"
No, it is possible that he was led astray by Jiang Fulu.
The Jiang family is more vicious than each other. After finally sending the stolen Princess Yu Tan to the north, Xie Zhao is now coveting his family fortune.
Xiao She wanted to push the man out, and said angrily, "I wish you to have a son soon. One is not enough, give birth to five, six, seven, or eight. Then your children will cling to Jiang Yuzhu and compete with you for your favor every day!"
"Your Majesty's words are golden. I hope my dream will come true."
Xie Zhao's words became more sincere and his steps became lighter.
Xiao She looked at the pile of memorials in the imperial study and muttered, "This isn't a blessing at all; it's a curse. It's disgusting for a man to be tainted by love affairs!"
After saying that, Xiao She rubbed the goose bumps on his arms vigorously, feeling extremely envious.
He was in a high position, and the women in the harem admired him and feared him, but no one was devoted to him.
Forget it, there is gain and loss. Da Qi is all his, so why should he be so pretentious?
It was a gloomy and rainy day. In a thatched house somewhere in the deep mountains outside Beijing, Jiang Yuzhu was shivering against the wall.
Rainy days are already cold and gloomy, and with wet clothes and difficult days, it is even more difficult under the simple conditions.
In the dim light, Lu Yunxi keenly caught Jiang Yuzhu's fleeting expression of pain and asked with concern, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"
After a long while, Jiang Yuzhu said slowly: "Cousin, it's not that I don't want to bandage you, but I have my period and the abdominal pain is unbearable."
Unable to live under the same roof with Lu Yunxi anymore, Jiang Yuzhu originally wanted to see if she could benefit from it, but Lu Yunxi didn't even think of escaping.
Jiang Yuzhu finally groped her way to the door and knocked on it, saying, "Help! Someone's about to die!"
She shouted twice, and soon there was the sound of the big lock being opened.
The purple-robed man crossed his arms and said impatiently, "What are you yelling about? This is a deep forest. You'll only attract wolves if you shout at the top of your lungs."
Jiang Yuzhu was also surprised. She had been locked up for half an hour, and the man in purple hadn't even changed his clothes.
"Brave man, did you rent the dress you are wearing from my sister?"
This person is really good at stealing. He stole Zhao Fendie's favorite dress, which she herself was reluctant to wear.
The man in purple: “…”
