As soon as he finished speaking, the Prime Minister felt a little embarrassed and looked at Xie Ji.
Xie Ji nodded slightly.
The Prime Minister then said, "I have overthought this. The marriage between Prince Zhou and Your Majesty is indeed a great thing. I congratulate you both."
Upon hearing this, Xie Ji was the first to echo, "This king also congratulates the royal sister and Prince Zhou."
When the other ministers saw that the person with the most say had given in, they all knelt down to celebrate the marriage between the two countries.
Zhong Changyao looked at Xie Ji in disbelief.
After all, he discovered that Xie Ji had different feelings for Xie Shizhu, and now he wanted Xie Shizhu to get married more than anyone else.
Zhong Changyao sneered in his heart, is he planning to help her?
It's really great.
Xie Shizhu couldn't laugh.
No, she couldn't let the wolf into the house.
Although Fan Miaozhou has spoken to prove himself, men's words cannot be trusted.
Otherwise, all the sows would climb trees!
The system reminded: [Host, you too.]
For now, Xie Shizhu could only let things develop for the time being. There was still a month left anyway, and she would definitely be able to find a way to prevent everything from happening.
She smiled and responded to everyone's celebration.
Next, it is about the solution of the hunger problem in Nanyuan City. County Magistrate Nan plans to send tea to the emperor to thank Xie Shizhu.
Xie Shizhu had the tea brought in and distributed it to other ministers, including Xie Ji.
By the time Zhong Changyao got there, all the tea had been distributed.
Xie Shizhu pursed his lips and smiled: "Sorry, there is no share for you."
Zhong Changyao appeared to be indifferent on the surface, but he was actually very angry inside.
Afterwards, Xie Ji said calmly, "You don't have to apologize, sister. Zhong Changyao no longer has any position, so there's no need to give him one."
The hypocritical smile on Zhong Changyao's face froze again.
Xie Ji glanced at his embarrassed expression, and the corners of his mouth raised in a mocking arc.
Ever since Xie Shizhu removed him from his position in the palace last time, no one in the palace has gotten close to him.
Even though Xie Jiyin was being sarcastic, no one spoke up for him.
It seemed as if there was no place for him in this palace anymore.
Zhong Changyao turned his head and glanced at Xie Ji, a vicious look flashing in his eyes.
The desire to kill Xie Ji became stronger and stronger.
After leaving the court, Zhong Changyao found Zhuo Ping who was lurking in the palace and asked him about the progress of his plan to frame Xie Ji.
Zhuo Ping answered truthfully, "Master, last time you asked me to frame Xie Ji, His Majesty and others went to the water diversion site that day and seemed to have resolved the matter."
After saying this, Zhong Changyao frowned slightly.
Xie Shizhu helped Xie Ji again?
He regretted deeply in his heart that he should not have left Xie Ji as a troublesome thing.
However, he quickly reacted and asked in a cold voice, "Why are you called Xie Shizhu?"
Zhuo Ping was stunned and replied in confusion: "Your Majesty."
Zhong Changyao's breathing was a little rough.
Zhuo Ping used to call Xie Shizhu a traitor, or just his name, so why did he suddenly change his address to "Your Majesty"?
Could it be that she has betrayed him?
Zhong Changyao's gaze changed as he looked at Zhuo Ping.
He was more vigilant than the average person. After all, he had been betrayed twice, and he would not allow his only remaining chess piece to betray him again.
Just as Zhong Changyao was about to warn Zhuo Ping, three figures slowly approached from a distance.
He was shocked, but it was too late to escape.
The two people who were betrayed by Zhong Changyao appeared in his sight one after another.
Xie Ji was also there.
Xie Shizhu walked over to them slowly, his eyes wandering between them for a moment, and asked curiously, "Sir, are you acquainted with the guards in my palace?"
The four words "In the palace of my lord" made Zhong Changyao once again suspect that Zhuo Ping had rebelled.
He pretended to be calm and said, "I don't know him. I just ran into him and wanted to ask about your health."
Xie Shizhu nodded in sudden realization, smiled softly, and said in a gentle tone: "Thank you for your concern, sir, but how are you feeling?"
Zhong Changyao thought it was Xie Shizhu who was asking him, and he felt a little happy. When he was about to answer, Zhuo Ping beside him suddenly interrupted him.
Zhuo Ping said, "Your Majesty, your medicine is very effective. My legs have gotten much better."
After finishing speaking, Xie Shizhu breathed a sigh of relief. Before leaving with the other two, he reminded them, "If the medicine runs out, ask Master Ming for more."
After saying this, Xie Shizhu disappeared from their sight.
Xie Ji and Ming Ruzhen were also beside her and left together.
After they left, Zhong Changyao looked at Zhuo Ping with a questioning look in his eyes: "Did she give you medicine?"
Zhuo Ping said cautiously, "Yes."
Zhong Changyao took a deep breath and said, "I will bring you into the palace. Don't forget your purpose."
Zhuo Ping was suddenly stunned and understood the meaning of his master's words.
Ask him to kill His Majesty.
However, His Majesty not only gave him medicine personally, but also cared about his health.
Although Zhuo Ping obeys Zhong Changyao, he is not a person who cannot distinguish between right and wrong.
He really couldn't bear it.
Suddenly, Zhong Changyao said, "Find a way to kill Xie Ji. I'll give you three days."
Hearing this, Zhuo Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it doesn't kill His Majesty.
His little expression was particularly glaring in Zhong Changyao's eyes.
Zhuo Ping immediately said, "I will definitely complete Master's instructions."
Zhong Changyao nodded lightly, said nothing more, and left him.
*
Xie Shizhu arrived at the palace gate where memorials were reviewed. Seeing that the malicious value had dropped to 65, she curled her lips and smiled.
Well, Zhong Changyao began to doubt Zhuo Ping.
She had achieved half of her goal.
