Xie Shizhu pinched his brows and said, "It's okay. Right now, we're not going to kill the bandits, but we're going to find a way to catch those bandits who robbed them."
Xie Ji echoed again: "I will do my best."
Xie Shizhu: "...No, you can't go. What if your life is in danger?"
After finishing speaking, Xie Shizhu looked at Fan Miaozhou and said in a heavy tone, "Don't worry, Prince Zhou. I will definitely give you an explanation."
Fan Miaozhou nodded and curled his lips: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xie Shizhu fixed his eyes on Zhong Changyao in the crowd.
She actually already had the answer in her heart.
The group of bandits were probably not simply robbing, but deliberately preventing her and Fan Miaozhou from cooperating.
What kind of bandits would steal construction tools instead of robbing the houses of wealthy businessmen?
Even if they steal those tools and resell them, they will be caught.
Because those tools have the logo of Fan State.
Only Zhong Changyao didn't want her to stand out, he wanted to control himself.
The system sighed: [Isn't this a pure CPU? ]
Xie Shizhu said: "Isn't it a PPT?"
system:"……"
Xie Ji's eyes lit up. Knowing that the imperial sister was worried about his life, he lowered his head and restrained the curve of his lips.
But the words "My sister is worried about my life" kept repeating in his mind, making him feel uneasy.
Xie Shizhu looked away from Zhong Changyao's face. She thought that she must find a way to expose Zhong Changyao's plan.
We also need to find evidence that those bandits were bribed by Zhong Changyao.
Now, she has set her sights.
It means making Zhong Changyao kneel in front of him and repent for using him.
The system was completely unconvinced: [Host, please don't worry. In the original plot, even when Xie Ji put a knife to his neck, he didn't apologize for his outrageous behavior.]
Xie Shizhu ruffled her long hair and smiled calmly: "We'll see."
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.
I originally thought that this would solve the drought problem in Yue Kingdom, but I didn't expect the bandits to end the cooperation like this.
Those ministers who had praised Xie Shi before all changed their expressions.
One of them took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it would be simpler to directly marry the prince to Zhou. This would not only strengthen the country, but also bring the two countries closer together."
As soon as the words fell, the remaining ministers echoed: "Yes."
To outsiders, isn't it just a marriage alliance?
Xie Shizhu always refuses, which is just a waste of time.
But no one knows the real reason.
I guess this is the result Zhong Changyao wants to see.
Fan Miaozhou remained silent on the side. He didn't care. Whether the marriage was harmonious or not had little impact on him.
When I return to Fan State, I can give an explanation to my father and not bring shame to the men of Fan State.
Just as Zhong Changyao was about to agree, Xie Ji suddenly broke the deadlock: "I will definitely find those bandits and let this cooperation continue."
After he finished speaking, no one took his words seriously.
No one would believe what a madman says.
The ministers wanted to say something, but Xie Shizhu pinched his brows and said irritably, "I can't use a man to solve the problem. What about the future?"
She paused and said, "Could it be that if something goes wrong, I will have to marry a man?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
After all, all the previous emperors used this method to consolidate their positions, but after Xie Shizhu came to power, he was different from all the previous emperors.
Xie Ji said lazily: "My Royal Sister is absolutely right."
In the entire hall, only Xie Ji agreed with her.
Xie Shizhu was a little touched. You little rascal, it’s a good thing that my love for you was not in vain.
Before her ministers left, she made a promise: "Don't worry, my dear ministers. I will ensure that the cooperation continues within seven days."
Before everyone left, they heard her say this and did not refute anything.
Xie Shizhu looked at their backs and let out a deep breath.
She thought, it is really hard to be an emperor.
After everyone left, Xie Ji was the only one left in her hall.
Xie Shizhu picked up the cold tea, took a sip, looked up at the tall man standing there, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you leave?"
Xie Ji stared at her, his eyes as deep as a black well and like a whirlpool.
The man's thin lips were slightly raised, he had long since shed his youthful aura, and his whole body exuded the scent of hormones.
"Imperial sister, you once promised me that you would be my concubine."
Upon hearing this, Xie Shizhu almost spit out the tea he had been drinking.
"Xie Ji, I was just a child and spoke without restraint at that time." Xie Shizhu reminded the madman.
Xie Ji, however, had a calm expression and chuckled, "But I took it seriously."
Xie Shizhu sighed deeply, "How can a brother and sister become husband and wife in this world? If we tell anyone about it, wouldn't it just lead to gossip? Do you want your sister to become a laughing stock?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shizhu saw that Xie Ji was emitting a cold air.
Even though it was spring, it was extremely warm.
Xie Shizhu was frightened by Xie Ji's expression.
Xie Ji was silent for only a few seconds before he quickly smiled again: "Does my sister care so much about what others think?"
Suddenly, a subtle atmosphere filled the air.
Xie Shizhu pursed her red lips, lowered her head to look at the water in the teacup, and said nothing.
Xie Ji continued, "The world? Then I can kill them and make them unable to speak again."
Xie Shizhu: “…”
Why would she try to reason with a demented person?
Isn't this playing with cotton?
Xie Shizhu frowned and ordered them to leave: "Go down first, I'm tired."
Xie Ji stared at her for a long time, and finally obeyed her meaning: "Yes."
After Xie Ji left, the world finally became peaceful.
