After hearing what Xier said, Zhong Min was furious. She always believed in the idea of not offending others unless they offend her, but now Zheng Ruyu was forcing her again and again, which was really hateful to the extreme.
In this case, she cannot be blamed. Instead of letting this idiot queen plot against her again and again and set traps for her, it would be better to take this opportunity to take the initiative and eliminate this scourge directly, so as to avoid disturbing her all day and night.
"Don't worry, Xi'er. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. But if someone offends me, I'm not that easy to bully." Zhong Min said seriously, "Since she's so vicious, don't blame me for being cruel."
"Jin'er, what do you want to do? She is the concubine after all, you still have to think twice before you act! Although the queen really went too far this time, you still have to find a way to resolve it. Don't provoke her and get yourself into trouble." Seeing the cruel look on Zhong Min's face, Xier was suddenly very worried, fearing that she would do something unwise in the moment of impulse, which would harm herself instead.
Seeing this, Zhong Min quickly softened his expression and said to Xier, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I just have to teach her a lesson this time, so she knows she can't just beat anyone up."
"So what do you want to do?" Xier thought for a moment, and seemed to have made up her mind. "I know you're smart and resourceful, but I'm afraid it's difficult for you to resolve this problem on your own. Although my abilities are limited and I can't be of much help, I sincerely want to help you. If there's anything I can do for you, just tell me, and I'll definitely do it."
Seeing Xi'er's loyalty, Zhong Min couldn't help but smile. "Xi'er, think carefully. This time, I'm going to deal with your master. It's not as simple as just passing a few innocuous words privately. I might even implicate you. So, I hope you think carefully and don't act impulsively. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it."
"What are you talking about? Am I, Xi'er, such an irresponsible person?" Hearing Zhong Min say this, Xi'er said unhappily, "Forget about the fact that I already detest the Empress's viciousness and have long been fed up with the things she does. Besides, we are best sisters. You've always been so kind to me. Your business is my business. If I still worry about being implicated by you, wouldn't I be a shameless coward who is afraid of death?"
Xier spoke passionately. Although she had never been to school and her words were not very high-sounding, she truly expressed her determination. Her attitude was firm and powerful enough.
Seeing this, Zhong Min paused for a moment, feeling indescribably moved. She had never really considered Xi'er a friend, having only known her superficially. But now, it seemed like she was a truly good person.
"Thank you!" she said sincerely, with a natural and friendly look on her face.
If that were the case, she really could use Xier's help. As Xier had said, this wasn't the kind of minor incident Zheng Ruyu usually dealt with, and she couldn't handle it on her own. She needed help from not only Xier, but others as well. Only then could she get rid of this troublemaker, Zheng Ruyu, once and for all, and prevent him from ever having any evil intentions or the ability to do anything bad to her again.
"Xier, listen carefully..." Zhong Min did not hesitate any longer. He took a step forward, leaned close to Xier's ear, and whispered in a low voice.
Xi'er listened attentively, nodding her head from time to time. The expression on her face gradually changed from seriousness at the beginning to joy. After Zhong Min finished speaking, she said confidently, "Jin'er, don't worry. I will handle this matter beautifully for you. I guarantee that there will be no mistakes."
"Well, it's getting late. You should hurry back to avoid arousing suspicion. As for the rest, I'll make my own arrangements. You don't have to worry." Zhong Min said as he smoothed Xier's slightly messy bangs and gestured for her to go back quickly. Xier smiled and nodded. Without lingering any longer, she turned and left, soon disappearing into the distance.
The next morning, Zhong Min found Xie Feng and asked him for help. Xie Feng immediately put down what he was doing and followed Zhong Min to a quieter place.
"Sister, have you had breakfast? Why are you here looking for me so early in the morning?" Xie Feng thought Zhong Min was looking for him about the external defense, so he didn't think much about it and said directly: "Are you having any trouble with the external defense? Don't worry, just tell me if you have anything, and I will definitely help you solve it."
"Brother, it's not about external defense. There's no rush. I'll come to you and Brother Luo to discuss it in a couple of days when I'm almost done." Zhong Min said without beating around the bush, "I came to you today because I need your help with something else."
"Another thing? What is it? Just tell me, as long as it's something you ask, no matter what it is, I will help you." Xie Feng patted his chest and said, "I'm not bragging, as long as you ask me for the stars in the sky, I will find a way."
Hearing Xie Feng say this, Zhong Min couldn't help but laugh. She was lucky to have such a lovely and loyal brother. She picked up a bargain. "Of course I believe what you say, brother, but it's not that difficult. There's no need to go to the sky to pick stars and moons or anything like that."
As she spoke, she waved at Xie Feng, motioning him to come closer, and then quickly whispered a few words into his ear with a smile on her face.
"What?" Xie Feng was shocked when he heard it, and blurted out: "Sister, did I hear it wrong? What do you want this thing for?"
"Shh!" Seeing Xie Feng so excited, Zhong Min quickly made a gesture to silence him and said in a low voice, "My dear brother, please keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid of being heard when you speak so loudly?"
Seeing this, Xie Feng quickly looked around. Seeing that no one was around, he imitated Zhong Min and lowered his voice and asked, "No, sister, you have to explain this matter to your brother clearly. Otherwise, I won't be able to get this thing for you. You have to tell me what you are going to do with this thing. I am your big brother, you can't hide it from me. If you have any questions, just tell me directly. I will definitely help you."
"Brother, this matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words right now. However, you know my character well. It is impossible for her to do anything harmful to the world, so you just need to help me get that thing. After the matter is over, I will definitely explain it to you clearly." Zhong Min did not intend to tell Xie Feng everything right now. It was not that she did not trust him, but she was afraid that Xie Feng, who was impatient, would want to stand up for her once he knew the whole story, which would make things go wrong.
Xie Feng frowned when he heard this and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid something might happen to you."
"Don't worry about that. I know what's going on and I won't get myself into any trouble." Zhong Min comforted Xie Feng, "Brother, if you don't help me, then I'll be in real trouble."
Hearing this, Xie Feng thought about it, and then said with certainty: "Okay, since the sister said so, then I will definitely help you, just leave it to me, don't worry."
"Thank you, big brother." Zhong Min was immediately delighted when he heard this and kept saying, "But big brother, you have to be quick. It would be best if you can get the stuff to me before noon."
"No problem, don't worry. Such a small matter won't take that long. You go back first, I'll do it now. I'll deliver it to you personally when I get it." Xie Feng put on an expression that said, "I'll do it, don't worry," and signaled Zhong Min not to worry, then turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing Xie Feng do what he said and turn around and leave in such a hurry, Zhong Min couldn't help but shake her head, and the smile on her face became even brighter. Just as she was about to listen to Xie Feng's words and go back first, she suddenly remembered something and immediately put away her smile.
"Brother, wait a minute!" She said as she pulled Xie Feng, who had already taken a few steps forward, and quickly said, "There's something else I almost forgot to tell you."
Seeing this, Xie Feng naturally stopped and turned around and said, "If you have anything else to say, I can help you with it."
"It's like this. You have to keep today's incident a secret for me, especially General Luo. Don't let him know. Otherwise, given his personality, he'll definitely pester me and ask everything." Zhong Min explained, "Besides, if he finds out, there's a good chance the prince will find out too, and then..."
"Alright, alright, who is your big brother? Do you really need to explain this?" When Xie Feng heard about this, he patted his chest and said, "Big brother won't tell anyone. You can put your heart in your stomach. Don't you know my character?"
"Brother, it's not that I don't trust you, I'm just worried you might accidentally let something slip in front of General Luo." Seeing this, Zhong Min said nothing more: "Okay, go ahead, I'll be back first."
After that, the two of them left separately. Xie Feng was indeed very efficient in his work. Not long after Zhong Min returned, he brought over what she wanted.
Zhong Min quietly put the things on his body, and then fiddled in his room for a while. After a while, he took out paper and pen and started to work on an external defense plan.
In the afternoon, I went to see Xiao Mingzheng. Seeing that there was nothing to do, I greeted him and went back to my room to work on the plan.
After working for a long time, there was a knock on the door. When she opened the door, she saw that it was the guard outside the yard. She thought someone was looking for her.
Hearing this, Zhong Min couldn't help but smile. Arriving so soon? It seemed like Xier was just like she said, unable to wait even until the evening.
She put away the things on hand, stood up, straightened her clothes, and then walked out slowly.
