Her heart is also warm.
At the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, she didn't eat or drink anything because of many things, but Xie Ji helped her solve her problems while paying attention to her.
Xie Shizhu raised the corner of his lips: "Well, considering your excellent performance, I will exempt you from facing the wall and reflecting on your mistakes."
Xie Ji was about to turn around and leave obediently, but he caught a glimpse of the mark left on the woman's collarbone from the corner of his eye, and his body froze.
Then, he said distressedly: "Last night you..."
Xie Shizhu said subconsciously: "I just wanted to detoxify you last night. I know you didn't mean it."
Xie Ji raised his thin lips in a somewhat powerless arc: "If you are unwilling, I can actually..."
Before he could utter the word 'die', the woman raised her hand and slammed it over his mouth.
Then he said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, as long as I can save you, I am willing to do anything."
Xie Ji was stunned. The warmth of the woman's palm against his lips made him uneasy.
He reflexively grabbed the woman's wrist and held it tightly in his palm.
Suddenly, a light cough was heard behind him. Xie Shizhu did not withdraw his hand, but looked at the person who came.
It was Ming Ruzhen and Zhuo Ping.
She asked, "What's the matter?"
Ming Ruzhen bowed and said, "Guard Zhuo wants to tell your Majesty something."
Xie Shizhu nodded.
Only then did Xie Ji let go of his hand.
He didn't bother Xie Shizhu, and when he left, he glanced at Zhuo Ping out of the corner of his eye.
The eyes are sharp.
Zhuo Ping didn't even dare to breathe.
After Xie Ji left, Xie Shizhu said indifferently, "Come in."
After she finished speaking, she entered the hall first, and Zhuo Ping followed closely behind.
Ming Ruzhen was waiting outside.
Xie Shizhu sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, and stared at Zhuo Ping who was standing there.
The man was nervous and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xie Shizhu put down his teacup and said, "You were the one who let Zhong Changyao go last night, weren't you?"
Zhuo Ping was stunned, then he fell to his knees, his body trembling as he said, "Yes, Your Majesty, although I hate him, he is my master, and I cannot bear to see him die."
Xie Shizhu unwrapped the rice dumpling with his hands and took a bite before saying, "Really? He asked you to kill my guards, so who should take the blame?"
Zhuo Ping was stunned for a long time.
Xie Shizhu sneered, "He caused me and Prince Yi to become enemies, and used my affection to complete his plan. Doesn't he deserve to die?"
Zhuo Ping lowered his head and said nothing.
Xie Shizhu's mouth was filled with the sweet rice dumplings, and she felt a little calmer.
"If it weren't for Prince Yi, would I have really been treated as a traitor and sentenced to death? Also, Zhong Changyao poisoned Xie Ji, and he must pay for all these sins."
After finishing speaking, Zhuo Ping hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "I understand."
Xie Shizhu waved his hand and let him leave.
*
After resting for a day, Xie Shizhu went to the prison and saw Zhong Changyao's body.
She was slightly startled.
The next second, Xie Ji came in from outside and saw Zhong Changyao dead in the prison, his eyes sank.
Zhong Changyao's death was not a normal death.
It's like being poisoned by something.
Xie Shizhu subconsciously looked at Xie Ji.
Xie Ji stood beside her, gazing down at Zhong Changyao's corpse, and said, "I returned the favor and let him be poisoned by the poison I gave him."
Xie Shizhu's heart skipped a beat.
It's over. The only remaining malicious value cannot be completed.
She had said before that she wanted to watch Zhong Changyao crawl on the ground and apologize for what she had done.
This is the real hidden malicious value.
Now that Zhong Changyao is dead, what should we do with the only remaining malicious value?
Xie Shizhu gave Xie Ji a reproachful look.
Xie Ji tightened his fingers at his sides, his face extremely pale: "You still like Zhong Changyao? So you blame me for poisoning him."
Xie Shizhu: "..." Which eye of yours saw that I like that idiot Zhong Changyao.
Xie Ji seemed angry and depressed, and turned to leave.
Xie Shizhu was startled and hurriedly grabbed the man's belt.
Xie Ji stopped and turned his back to her.
Xie Shizhu said: "I don't blame you, I don't like him either."
Xie Ji widened his eyes slightly and his heart skipped a beat.
Is this Xie Shizhu explaining to himself?
Xie Ji's anger came quickly and disappeared quickly.
The paper he held in his palm was already a little wet due to sweating.
The man hesitated for a moment, turned around, and handed the paper in his hand to her: "This is what Zhong Changyao left for you."
After saying this, Xie Ji didn't want to look at Xie Shizhu's red eyes when he saw the contents of the letter.
He was about to leave when Xie Shizhu spread out the paper in front of him.
Xie Ji was slightly stunned, somewhat surprised that Xie Shizhu was so calm.
Xie Shizhu read the contents of the letter.
She recognized Zhong Changyao's handwriting, it was indeed written by him.
There were a few tear-like marks on the paper.
Just a few words.
I'm sorry, but if there is an afterlife, I will definitely not do these things.
And I love...
The last few words were stained black by the ink and could not be seen at all.
Xie Shizhu was stunned and thought, maybe it was Xie Ji who did it.
He erased Zhong Changyao's confession with ink.
Xie Ji endured the woman's questioning gaze. He pretended to be calm and was ready to be scolded by Xie Shizhu.
But the next second, the woman tore up the letter.
Then, he threw it on the ground.
She said, "Let's go."
Xie Ji's eyes changed slightly as he looked at her.
Xie Shizhu smiled and said, "I have never loved Zhong Changyao. No matter what he says, you are the only one in my heart."
