Chapter 80 I will be responsible
Xiao Jinxuan looked at her steadily, his eyes like the deep sea.
Xie Zhuoning was in a dilemma.
How to thank him...
"How about I pay 10,000 taels of silver as a reward for His Royal Highness Prince Xuan's hard work?"
As the saying goes, take money from people and help them eliminate disasters.
She gave the money, and the matter was settled, and there was no need for any future disputes.
"Oh," Xiao Jinxuan sneered, "Don't you know that according to the laws of this dynasty, bribery in secret is a heavier crime?"
Xie Zhuoning was stunned.
No, he asked how to thank him, isn't that just asking for bribes?
"So what do you want to do?"
"Let's eat first." Xiao Jinxuan avoided the topic and asked someone to bring the dishes.
Xie Zhuoning waved his hands and said, "No need to have dinner, I have an appointment."
She had made an appointment with Murong Yan to meet at noon, and he became anxious as he couldn't get anyone to show up.
"He can't come."
"What?"
Xiao Jinxuan stopped talking again.
This made Xie Zhuoning think that he had misheard.
The food was served one after another, and she drooled at the sight of the table full of delicacies.
It wasn't that she had never seen the world, but she hadn't eaten anything when she went out, and her stomach was already rumbling.
She picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating when she glanced at Xiao Jinxuan next to her. The food that had been in her bowl was picked up and then dropped into his bowl.
"Your Highness, please eat more~"
When asking for help from others, you naturally have to be humble.
Xiao Jinxuan looked at the spicy rabbit head full of chili peppers, his brows furrowed tightly enough to kill flies, "Do you want to murder me?"
"Uh, who knew you couldn't eat spicy food?" Xie Zhuoning picked up his chopsticks and prepared to take some.
No one knew which word touched Xiao Jinxuan, but he moved his hand, opened her chopsticks, picked up the rabbit head and started eating.
I have to say, if a man is good-looking, even the food he eats is a pleasure to watch.
No wonder people often say that beauty is a feast to the eyes.
If you ignore his tightly knitted brows and the dense beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
"Your Highness Prince Xuan, if you can't eat spicy food, just don't eat it."
Xiao Jinxuan didn't respond to her and continued eating.
She didn't know why, but she found it funny.
His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is like a sulky child right now!
Xie Zhuoning asked someone to bring some kefir to relieve the spiciness and poured him a glass.
Before Xiao Jinxuan could even drink, he suddenly felt unwell and slumped down on the table.
"Your Highness Prince Xuan, what's wrong with you?" Xie Zhuoning was startled.
Could it be that someone poisoned the food?
She helped Xiao Jinxuan to a soft couch nearby, and then hurriedly asked Xia Ju to call a doctor.
The doctor felt his pulse and complained, "He has a bad stomach and can't eat spicy food. Don't you know that as his wife?"
Xie Zhuoning was stunned.
No, I clearly tried to stop him. It was Xiao Jinxuan who insisted on eating it. Does this count as scam?
After seeing the doctor off, she sighed and thought to herself, what a big deal.
When I turned around, I saw Xiao Jinxuan looked a little unnatural, "Don't mind what he said."
Outsiders, not knowing the full story, mistook her for his wife.
But why didn't she refute it?
Xie Zhuoning originally thought that Xiao Jinxuan was trying to scam him, but seeing how sincere he was, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I will take responsibility."
After all, it was her who caused this kind of harm to the man, so she had to cure him no matter what.
Otherwise, what if Xiao Jinxuan gets really angry and makes things difficult for his younger brother?
"Responsible?" Xiao Jinxuan's eyes darkened, his Adam's apple moved, "How are you going to be responsible?"
"Looking for famous doctors to cure you!"
"That's it?"
"What about that?"
Xie Zhuoning was a little confused as he watched Xiao Jinxuan's face grow increasingly cold.
Why is he suddenly unhappy again?
"Wait a moment."
Xie Zhuoning went to the door and gave a few instructions. Not long after, Xia Ju came back with an oil-paper bag in her hand.
In just a short while, Ling Xiao had already prepared the medicine.
She took it all and walked to Xiao Jinxuan's side.
She scooped a spoonful, blew on it, and fed it to his mouth.
Xiao Jinxuan looked at her strangely.
Does she know that she looks just like a virtuous wife taking care of her seriously ill husband?
Seeing that he refused to eat, Xie Zhuoning sighed.
No, is His Royal Highness Prince Xuan so cautious?
This medicine was made by Lingxiao, and he doesn't even believe it?
Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, she withdrew her hand, took a sip herself, and passed it over, "It's not poisonous, drink it."
If you want to poison her, kill her first.
When Xiao Jinxuan saw that she was actually testing the poison on herself, he was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.
Even my heartbeat quickened.
He opened his mouth and drank the half-empty spoonful of bitter medicine she had taken.
Then, spoonful after spoonful, the medicine bowl was emptied.
After he finished drinking, Xie Zhuoning quickly stuffed a small pill into his mouth.
He said with a smug look on his face: "Your Highness Prince Xuan, you have been poisoned by my Seven Days Return to the West Pill. I'm afraid you won't be alive soon."
"Yeah." Xiao Jinxuan's expression was calm.
These seven days back to Xidan were quite sweet.
Xie Zhuoning had intended to scare him on purpose, but when he saw that he had no reaction at all, his ears drooped and he let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing this made Xiao Jinxuan's hands itchy, and he even had the urge to rub her head.
He forced himself to stop talking and said, "I've agreed to your brother's matter."
"Really?" Xie Zhuoning's eyes lit up, "Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Xuan first."
After this matter is over, it won’t be too late to find a famous doctor to cure Xiao Jinxuan, and then slowly draw a clear line between the two.
Just when she was thinking about it, Xiao Jinxuan suddenly asked, "You want to cancel the engagement, right?"
Anyway, everyone in Beijing knew that she wanted to cancel the engagement, so there was nothing to deny.
"Shouldn't I cancel the engagement after Xiao Bicheng did something so shameful?"
Xiao Jinxuan looked at her, his eyes dark as if he could see through everything. "What I mean is, from the beginning, you wanted to cancel the engagement, right?"
When he found out that it was she who arranged for the people from the Hongxiban to spread rumors, create legends, and push Bai Yingxue to the position of saint, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
The prince is interested in Bai Yingxue, but she helps Bai Yingxue to become famous.
The phrase "If you get it, you can get the world" made everyone flock to Bai Yingxue.
There were even many common people who supported the prince marrying the saint girl to ensure good weather and good harvests in Daye.
The prince is marrying the saint, so where does that put her, the future crown princess?
When he heard this, for some reason, he became very angry.
He went directly to the palace to meet the emperor and sent Bai Yingxue to the national temple to pray for the country.
He thought Xie Zhuoning had suffered all the injustices, until he found out about the Red Xiban and realized that she was the mastermind behind it.
"Haha." Xie Zhuoning laughed dryly twice, "How can I be that capable?"
"After you separated from Murong Yan that day, I sent someone to investigate him."
He was very careful in his work and left almost no flaws.
The only drawback is that he has no manpower of his own and can be easily betrayed.
"The Crown Prince secretly left the palace to meet Bai Yingxue, and few people knew about it. So how did Prince Yong know about it?"
Xie Zhuoning felt a chill all over his body.
It was as if everything he had done along the way had been stripped away layer by layer by Xiao Jinxuan, revealing everything without any cover.
No wonder he said that Murong Yan couldn't come.
She pinched her palms and pretended to be calm, "So, did His Royal Highness Prince Xuan come here today to arrest me and question me?"
