Xie Shizhu was stunned, thinking she had misheard, until the man's fingers tugged at her belt, then she realized Xie Ji was not joking.
Xie Ji has been somewhat obedient in recent times.
He was either in the study or following her obediently.
This led her to think that Xie Ji had regained his sanity.
But now it seems that the psychological shadow brought to Xie Ji by himself still exists.
Xie Shizhu quickly supported the man's chest with both hands, his face flushed red as he stammered, "Xie Ji, we..."
Before she could finish her words, the man's eyes darkened and he interrupted her coldly: "Are you going to mention siblings again?"
The man said what she said next.
Xie Shizhu pursed his lips and remained silent.
Xie Ji regained some clarity and questioned, "I know my sister's character. She's not sure about anything. You said you and I aren't siblings."
"I believe everything my sister says."
Xie Ji's previous coldness disappeared and he smiled again.
Hearing this, Xie Shizhu felt a little moved, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Xie Ji changed.
Xie Ji never trusted anyone except her.
Maybe this is okay.
Anyway, she also likes Xie Ji, and they are not relatives.
When Xie Shizhu was about to accept it, the door outside was kicked open. The loud noise made Xie Ji frown slightly.
He quickly sat up, tightened the woman's open collar, then left and headed into the hall.
Fan Miaozhou appeared here, looking exhausted. When he saw Xie Ji, he frowned and asked directly, "As the younger brother of His Majesty, is it inappropriate for him to always appear in the bridal chamber?"
Xie Ji said nonchalantly, "A wedding room? Don't forget, your father wants the kingdom of Yue. How can you possibly marry into Yue?"
After saying this, Fan Miaozhou, who had been full of anger just now, suddenly felt only guilt.
Xie Ji stared at Fan Miaozhou's extremely embarrassed expression, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes: "Save your energy, you might as well go to the prison to see your father instead of wasting time."
When Xie Shizhu heard the two people's voices, he tidied up his messy hair a little and came out slowly.
As soon as she went out, she saw Fan Miaozhou's guilty look.
When Fan Miaozhou saw her, he hesitated to speak. After a pause, he said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I didn't know my father would attack the palace last night."
Xie Shizhu didn't know how to reply to him.
She also saw that Fan Miaozhou didn't understand what he was saying.
It wasn't his fault, the fault was the Emperor of Fan who wanted to seize the Kingdom of Yue.
Xie Ji glanced at the silent woman and spoke for her, "Whether you know it or not, you are also from the Fan Kingdom. Our temple is too small to accommodate people from the Fan Kingdom."
He spoke out what was in Xie Shizhu's heart.
Xie Shizhu couldn't help but look at Xie Ji again.
It was this one glance that made Xie Ji feel flustered.
It was rare for Xie Shizhu to look him in the eye, and his heart was beating wildly.
Fan Miaozhou lowered his eyes.
He was reluctant to leave Yue Kingdom, and even more reluctant to leave Xie Shizhu.
When it was time for Xie Shizhu to go to court, she pinched her brows and said, "Let's see what the officials say."
After saying this, Xie Shizhu left the hall, got on the sedan chair outside the hall and went to the court.
It was time for Xie Ji to read. He glanced at the man who was standing stiffly in place and left.
*
After Xie Shizhu came to court, the atmosphere became solemn.
After she sat on the phoenix chair, Fan Miaozhou also arrived at the court.
As soon as he arrived, all the ministers in the court looked at each other in surprise, as if they had not expected that he would have the nerve to come to the court of Yue Kingdom.
Discussions followed.
Fan Miaozhou lowered his head and said nothing.
"Your Majesty, isn't this just inviting a wolf into the house?"
"Yes, if we hadn't made preparations last night, I think the Yue Kingdom would have had to change its name."
"Your Majesty, I feel that your marriage to Fan Miaozhou was a mistake. This is your mistake."
Xie Shizhu raised his eyes and stared coldly at the minister who stood at the highest moral position, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
She sneered and slammed her palm against the cold armrest.
The crisp sound made the ministers shut their mouths at the same time.
Xie Shizhu said, "You were the ones who persuaded me to marry Prince Zhou, but now you're blaming me. In my opinion, you were the ones who let the wolf into the house, weren't you?"
The woman's cold questioning silenced the ministers.
The Prime Minister, who had been silent until then, finally spoke up, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. If the Yue Kingdom is captured, it will be the fault of these opportunistic officials. You are not at fault at all."
As soon as the words fell, the ministers' faces turned extremely bad.
The Prime Minister's words were like sentencing them.
The people who were arrogantly blaming others just now immediately knelt on the ground.
Those who apologized apologized, and those who begged for mercy begged for mercy.
The picture is very exciting.
Fan Miaozhou also saw the true faces of these people.
When he is useful, he is called the King of Boats; when he is not useful, he is called by his name directly.
Xie Shizhu listened to the apologies of the crowd, ignored them, and let them kowtow to atone their sins.
The Prime Minister on the side asked, "Your Majesty, what should be done with Prince Zhou?"
As soon as the words fell, the court fell silent.
Fan Miaozhou also looked up at Xie Shizhu.
Xie Shizhu said calmly: "Let him stay in the palace first."
After he finished speaking, someone else objected and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this leaving you with trouble for the future?"
Fan Miaozhou frowned and understood what these ministers meant.
They want their own death.
Xie Shizhu looked down at Fan Miaozhou and said, "Prince Zhou is different from the Emperor of Fan. He is kind-hearted and knows right from wrong. He has no bad intentions. You don't have to worry about him staying in the palace."
