Xie Hailan is more knowledgeable about the ways of the world. Before asking someone to do something for her, she would flatter the other person for a while.
This makes it easier to successfully ask others to do something for you.
Xie Hailan was not in a hurry. Instead, he criticized and praised him: "I don't know how His Majesty does things. You are obviously smarter than the Imperial Preceptor, and your martial arts skills are also better than his. The Imperial Preceptor is not as good as you, but His Majesty handed the task of finding the assassin to the Imperial Preceptor."
Xie Ji's face was as calm as water, and he did not agree with Xie Hailan's words.
Xie Hailan's eyes rolled and he said quickly, "In my opinion, the task of helping my father find the murderer should be left to someone as capable as you."
After saying this, Xie Ji remained silent.
Then, under Xie Hailan's gaze, he opened his thin lips and said, "You are absolutely right."
Xie Hailan's eyes lit up and he finally saw the light of hope.
The next second, Xie Ji's eyes darkened and he sneered, "The Imperial Master is indeed not as capable as this king."
In order to get Xie Ji to agree to his request, Xie Hailan nodded frantically without even hesitating.
Seeing that Xie Ji agreed with her words, Xie Hailan could already imagine the scene of Xie Ji taking back the throne and stepping on Xie Shizhu under his feet.
Before Xie Hailan could feel happy, the boy's next words shattered her fantasy.
Xie Ji said indifferently: "Since the imperial sister has handed this matter over to the national teacher, this king will not stop it."
After saying this, Xie Ji planned to turn around and return to the hall.
The smile on Xie Hailan's lips froze. He stared at Xie Ji's back unwillingly, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, Xie Shizhu stole your throne, and you're just going to ignore it?"
Then, Xie Ji stopped.
Xie Hailan saw the opportunity and continued to sow discord, "She is a wicked person. She killed her own parents for the throne. Don't you know that the next person she will kill will be you?"
Xie Ji still said nothing, but his back was stiff and his fingers hanging on both sides tightened.
Xie Hailan noticed the change in Xie Ji and raised his eyebrows, "Xie Shizhu is an unforgivable criminal and unworthy of the throne. You are the emperor..."
Before she finished her last word, the man who had his back to her turned around without warning and ran towards her quickly with a gloomy face.
The next second, the man took out a dagger from his sleeve and put it against her neck. The cold breath was as terrifying as poison.
"If you dare to say a bad word about my sister again, you will die."
Xie Hailan was so frightened that his whole body went numb and his legs were so weak that he seemed about to fall.
The edge of the man's dagger quickly scratched her skin, causing some blood to seep out.
Xie Hailan suddenly cried, "I won't dare to do it again."
Xie Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at her pale face, and slowly took away the dagger.
Another word uttered from his thin lips: "Get lost."
Xie Hailan trembled all over and crawled out of Xie Ji's sight.
Xie Ji sneered and thought to himself, trying to sow discord between him and the imperial sister?
It’s better to save the energy.
If he really wanted the throne, he would have sat on it long ago.
From the current perspective, he wants the imperial sister to see Zhong Changyao for who he is and stay away from him.
He also wanted to keep Zhong Changyao alive until the anniversary of his parents' death next year.
However, the only thing we need to do now is to cure the imperial sister's illness.
*
Xie Ji found the miracle doctor and asked how to cure his sister's mental illness.
The doctor was silent for a moment and then said, "There is a way to cure this disease. We need to find the snow lotus, which is rare in a thousand years. It is not an ordinary snow lotus. Once we find it, we can boil it into medicine and take it once a day. After a month, the progression of this disease can be stopped."
Hearing this, Xie Ji seemed to see hope. He calmed down a bit and asked, "Where should we look for it?"
The genius doctor sighed, "This needs to be taken to a sparsely populated area. The thousand-year-old snow lotus needs dew to nourish it and cannot be affected by human breath, otherwise it will be difficult for it to survive."
Xie Ji understood what the miracle doctor said.
This snow lotus can only be found in deep mountains and forests.
Xie Ji pursed his lips, asked the genius doctor for the records of Xuelian, and then left the mansion.
Not long after he left, Zhong Changyao arrived at the Miracle Doctor's Mansion.
The miracle doctor said, "Xie Ji should leave."
Zhong Changyao smiled and thought, everything is under his control.
Xie Ji can put a knife on his neck and call a miracle doctor, but he can also threaten the miracle doctor in the same way.
So, the genius doctor listened to him and lured Xie Ji away from the palace.
As long as he left, he could take advantage of this time to arrange for an assassin to kill Xie Ji on the way.
During this period, Xie Shizhu and Fan Miaozhou can also be married.
Thinking of this, Zhong Changyao felt much more relaxed.
*
A day later, Zhong Changyao indeed did not see Xie Ji in the palace.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he planned to find a way to make Xie Shizhu listen to him in the court today.
After attending the court session, Zhong Changyao had no chance to speak at all, because a Fan Miaozhou also attended the court session.
Zhong Changyao was shocked, as if he couldn't believe that a person from another country could enter the court of Yue Kingdom.
The other ministers were even more shocked than Zhong Changyao. After seeing Fan Miaozhou, they looked at each other in confusion.
One of the courtiers mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Majesty, although the King of Zhou is an important person, the court is a private place of the Moon Kingdom. It is not appropriate for the King of Zhou to come here."
After he finished speaking, the ministers nodded in agreement.
Xie Shizhu just smiled lightly and did not respond to anyone's words. Instead, he looked at Fan Miaozhou.
Fan Miaozhou understood what Xie Shizhu meant and responded to everyone's questions calmly.
"The king is attending court today because of an important matter."
Hearing this, Zhong Changyao was stunned and felt inexplicably excited. Looking at the expressions of the two people, it seemed that they really wanted to agree to the marriage.
But he was wrong.
Fan Miaozhou said, "I heard that the people of Yue Kingdom are suffering from drought. Coincidentally, Fan Kingdom is good at infrastructure. I intend to help the people of Yue Kingdom divert water and save their crops."
After he finished speaking, the ministers who had just questioned him applauded.
"This is a good thing. King Zhou is really a kind-hearted person."
"Yes, yes. Thank you, King Zhou, for your timely help."
Xie Shizhu sat on the dragon throne, looking at the smiling faces of the ministers below, some real and some fake, and her malice value suddenly dropped to 80.
"Yoshi!" Xie Shizhu chatted with the system, "Why did it drop?"
The system raised its thumbs up and said: [Host, because you are awesome! ! ]
The system admires Xie Shizhu very much because the host has completed the task in a different way.
Just last night, Xie Shizhu took the initiative to summon Fan Miaozhou into the palace.
In the name of cooperation, she asked Fan State, where Fan Miaozhou was located, to help Yue State divert water, and she would receive an equal exchange.
Beef and wine were delivered to the State of Fan every month.
Because Xie Shizhu also summoned Fan Zhi.
Fan Zhi loves Yueguo beef very much, and pesters Fan Miaozhou to agree.
Finally, the two reached a consensus.
Xie Shizhu looked at the pale-faced Zhong Changyao below and thought to herself, I don’t need a man or a marriage alliance, I can still solve the national treasury problem.
You'll be so mad!
