Chapter 222 Release
The next day, Rongye got up early and practiced swordplay in the yard.
Xie Shuangbai was still sleeping in the room.
When he got up, it was already noon.
Rong Ye was reading a letter on the couch in the inner room, while Rong Chi was drawing beside him.
Xie Shuangbai called him in a daze.
"Little daddy!" Rong Chi, the clever little boy, ran over first and climbed onto the bed with a grunt.
"Little Daddy, the sun is shining on your butt, can't you get up?"
Xie Shuangbai showed a section of his arm that was pinched purple: "Chi'er!"
Rong Chi saw that he was injured and shouted in surprise: "Daddy, come and see, little daddy is injured!"
When Rong Ye got closer, he saw the bruises on his arm and said with some annoyance, "Does it hurt?"
Xie Shuangbai looked at his arm, then looked at Rong Chi, and put it back awkwardly.
Rong Ye went to get some anti-swelling ointment and pulled his arm over to apply the ointment.
"It was my fault."
Xie Shuangbai pressed his hand: "Are you feeling better?"
Rong Ye regretted even more that he shouldn't have been so rude yesterday.
He said distressedly: "I won't do that again."
Rong Chi was bewildered and came to the conclusion: "Daddy, you hit little daddy, you are so bad!"
He said that he would use his little fist to hit Rong Ye.
Xie Shuangbai quickly grabbed him and said, "Chi'er is not your father. It was... it was Little Daddy who fell down by himself. He is really not your father."
Rong Chi was confused and hesitated, "Really? Little Daddy, don't lie to Chi'er."
“Really, really.”
"If Daddy hits you, you have to tell Chi'er. Chi'er will protect Daddy!"
Xie Shuangbai was healed by him and hugged him lovingly: "My little darling, besides your dad, now your little man has you to protect your little dad!" Then he kissed his little face.
Rong Chi hugged him happily and laughed. Xie Shuangbai played with him for a while and then got up.
Lunch was served, and Xie Shuangbai asked Rong Ye while eating, "What are you going to do with those people?"
Rong Ye originally thought that these people should be chopped to pieces, but since they were not dead, he would use them as training for his treasure.
"You can do whatever you want, but you still have to conduct a thorough investigation to prevent spies from sneaking in."
Xie Shuangbai thought that this was a bit difficult. He was just an ordinary college graduate, so how could he catch a spy?
Rong Ye smiled when he saw his worried look.
He knew he couldn't, and didn't expect him to catch it.
"Leave this matter to Rong Qi."
Xie Shuangbai knew Rong Qi, a very deadly woman.
He was a little worried: "Will they confess under torture? They don't look strong. I wonder if they will die during the interrogation."
"Don't worry, she knows what to do."
After the meal, Xie Shuangbai was still worried and called Rong Qi over personally.
"Rong Qi, you should investigate the people sent from the capital carefully, but don't kill any innocent people. I still have some use for me."
"Understood, Princess."
"Okay, go ahead, but don't force a confession or abuse the torture!"
But Xie Shuangbai didn't expect that some methods could drive people crazy without torture.
Rong Qi is indeed an old hand at torture. There were 20 people in total coming from the capital, and 6 of them were found to be spies. There were no problems with the other 14 people for the time being, but further observation was needed.
The six people who were found out included those planted by the emperor, those planted by the empress dowager, those planted by the marquis's mansion, and some first-rank officials. In short, Xie Shuangbai was amazed.
No wonder the palace is investigating so strictly. Who knows if there are more senior spies among the others? Isn’t that how spy war TV shows are played out?
For a moment, Xie Shuangbai didn't know what to do.
Rong Qi held up a stack of papers and replied, "Princess, here are the detailed information of the remaining people."
"Okay, you can leave it there."
Rong Qi placed the documents on the table beside him, glanced at Xie Shuangbai, and seeing that he had nothing else to do, he said respectfully, "If nothing else, I will take my leave."
Xie Shuangbai nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, go ahead and do your work."
"I'll take my leave."
After Rong Qi left, Xie Shuangbai took the information and started reading it.
After Rong Ye finished his official business, he saw him looking at something with a smile on his face.
"What are you looking at? It's so interesting. The room is so dark, why don't you turn on some lights?"
Xie Shuangbai smiled and waved at Rong Ye: "Come and take a look, this is what Rong Qi just examined."
Rong Ye took the interrogation record and began to read it. Xie Shuangbai saw that his face was getting darker and darker, and laughed and teased:
"I didn't expect the Emperor to be so kind to you. The rewards he gave you are all from the top performers in the famous Nanfeng Pavilion in the capital! I'm really curious about what the top performers look like!"
Rong Ye grabbed him, pulled him into his arms and looked at him with a smirk on his face: "What top girl, what top courtesan, they're not even a step ahead of you!"
"Okay, you really like my face!"
Rong Ye looked at the rosy lips in front of him and couldn't help but kiss them. Xie Shuangbai was breathless from the kiss, and when she touched his strong chest muscles, she also felt a little moved.
"Go inside, Chi'er will come in the evening."
Rongye picked him up and said, "He won't come!"
The next day, when Xie Shuangbai woke up, Rong Ye was gone. He lay on the bed, sighing and cursing that lust had blinded his mind.
Rong Ye has been full of energy these past two days, and he's been working himself to death.
The strange thing is that my body can actually hold on. It seems that taking the medicine every day is really effective.
It makes me blush just thinking about it.
"Master, Butler Hong, wants to see you for something!"
Xie Shuangbai looked at the sky and estimated that it was already 9:00 a.m.
"I'll get up right away. Tell him to wait."
Xie Shuangbai quickly stood up, wondering if anything else might happen.
Something really happened. One of the sixteen people who were sent back yesterday was so scared that he lost his mind and went crazy in the yard.
The housekeeper couldn't make a decision, so he hurried to ask to see Xie Shuangbai.
"Princess, this...how should this old servant deal with this?"
Xie Shuangbai also wanted to see these people, "I'll go with you."
Because the location was remote, Xie Shuangbai took a sedan chair there.
On the way, he asked someone to call a doctor and also asked someone to write some documents.
When we arrived at the courtyard, we heard crying and crazy sounds.
Rong Wu frowned and pushed open the gate.
Everyone inside was startled, but upon seeing Xie Shuangbai, who had saved them that day, they knelt down in joy and begged, "Please, Bodhisattva, help us poor people!"
"Please help us, kindhearted person!"
"God, please help us!"
The butler saw the chaotic scene and was about to speak when a young servant rushed over. Rong Wu mistook him for an assassin and kicked him to the ground.
The young servant was kicked in the chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He pleaded miserably, "Please, Bodhisattva, save my young master! He's in a coma with a high fever, and I'm afraid... he's in serious condition!"
Xie Shuangbai felt sorry for him because he saw how loyal he was to his master at such a young age, so he called two doctors over.
"Please, doctor, go and see how the patient is doing."
The doctor was shocked that the princess was so polite to them, and quickly replied respectfully, "Princess, I am sorry for the humiliation!"
"Princess, he is the princess!" someone shouted.
"The princess is a man?"
"You're stupid, otherwise how could we get here!"
Everyone then realized that since the prince was a homosexual, the princess must be a man.
"Princess, please help us! Princess, please save us!"
Xie Shuangbai glanced at Butler Hong.
