Chapter 100: Guilty of Guilt
In the large study of King Liang's mansion, King Liang was analyzing Xie Zhuo's motives for inviting Zhao Xi to cruise with his advisers.
This time, all the strategists had the same idea, and they all thought that Xie Zhuo had found out who was responsible for the disadvantage last time, and deliberately asked Zhao Xi to go out and warn King Liang with today's incident!
The more the strategists spoke, the more they felt that it was true, and King Liang also had a gloomy face when he heard it.
"Lord Wang, if Xie Zhuo really finds out, then he will definitely take precautions in the future. I am afraid that it is not appropriate to succeed in any further action. The strategist said worriedly, "The villain thinks that Xie Zhuo's past deceitful behavior is also pretended, but in fact, this person is scheming!"
"That's right! Then Xie Zhuo must be the prince's confidant!" the second strategist echoed, "The Five Ghost Stars must be him! Although Le Luyuan's plan failed, it was worth forcing him to show his true face!"
"What do you think should be done next to Xie Zhuo?" King Liang asked in a deep voice as he looked around at the strategists.
"Lord Wang, Mr. Ying once said that the Five Ghost Stars are an obstacle on the way to your great achievement, and this person Xie Zuo must be eliminated!" The strategist said, "Since it is an accident, it is better to send someone directly and kill it by any means! Although Princess Anyang will not let go of this matter easily, as long as the person is dead, it is the most important thing in addition to the great trouble in the prince's heart!
Others chimed in, believing that this method was best.
On the one hand, King Liang felt a little more relieved because he had determined that Xie Zuo was the Five Ghost Stars, at least he didn't have to doubt all the people surnamed Xie anymore! On the other hand, he didn't arouse the suspicion of the saints because of how to get rid of Xie Zhuo! Otherwise, it would be a failure!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the study door, and the length was the code sign.
Everyone was silent, and their eyes exchanged quickly.
The prince Zhao You walked to the door and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"Back to the world, Uncle Ju from Xie Yuma's Mansion came to the palace to ask for guilt. ”
"What?" Zhao You thought he had heard an errand, "What is Xie Zhuo doing?"
"Back to the world, Xie Zhuo knelt at the gate of the palace with his bare body and thorns on his back, shouting in his mouth to come and plead guilty. The person who came had to finish the story.
Everyone in the study heard it, and surprise flashed on everyone's faces, and so did King Liang.
Zhao You sent the person who came to report the news, and returned to the inner room to look at King Liang, "Father, you see ......"
King Liang stood up and shook his robe, "Go out and have a look!"
Outside the gate of King Liang's mansion, Xie Zhuo, who was shirtless and carrying a thorn on his back, knelt straight in the sun. Standing behind him were Xie Fuya, the lord of Jingyi County, and the maidservant girl holding an umbrella.
Xie Fuya looked up at the sun, and then at the gate of King Liang. At this time, the masters of the Liang Palace's mansion should have known what happened at the door.
The people watching the bustle watched from afar and whispered, but no one knew what was going on.
"County lord, uncle's back is red. Rushi held an umbrella and whispered.
They are all young masters and daughters who have been pampered since childhood, even if Xie Zuo is a man, he has never been exposed to the sun shirtless outside, but after a while, his skin is very red.
"Wait. Xie Fuya said softly.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, the gate of the palace was opened, and several people came out of it.
Xie Fuya squinted and recognized that it was Zhao You, the son of King Liang, who walked in the front!
Zhao You hurriedly walked down the steps to Xie Zhuo, and stretched out his hand to help him, "What is Cousin Zhuo doing?
Xie Zhuo dodged Zhao You's outstretched hand and shouted: "Cousin, I can't get up! Because of my negligence, Cousin Xi has an accident, and I want to ask my uncle and aunt for the guilt!"
Zhao You looked around at the lively people from a distance, and secretly scolded Xie Zhuo in his heart! If you really want to apologize, come to the door in person to ask to see you, who are you showing such a big move in such an undignified way!
"Cousin Zhuo. Zhao You stretched out his hand and pulled Xie Zhuo up, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go in and talk!"
"I want to see Uncle and Aunt Liang!" Xie Zuo said with a stubborn look.
"Okay, you will naturally see your father when you go in!" Zhao You took a long robe from his entourage and draped it over Xie Zhuo's body, "Cousin Zhuo, take off the thorns on your back, be careful of scratching your skin." ”
Xie Zuo shook his head, "No, I will take it down when I see my uncle and aunt!"
Zhao You didn't want to entangle with Xie Zuo at the door anymore, so he looked up at Xie Fuya and said, "Cousin, do you want to go in together?"
Xie Fuya bowed slightly, "My brother is reckless, and I can't persuade him, which makes my cousin embarrassed." My aunt and sister Qinghui weren't there, so I didn't go in. ”
Zhao You raised his eyebrows, "How does my cousin know that my mother and sister are not in the house?"
Xie Zhuo kept saying that she wanted to see Princess Liang, but her sister didn't tell her brother?
Xie Fuya lowered her eyes and said softly: "Today, the crown princess is on a cruise, and I have invited many female relatives to accompany her. My mother was invited by the crown princess, so presumably the princess and Qinghui's sister were also on the boat at this time. ”
Listening to Xie Fuya's explanation, Zhao You also believed it for a while.
Zhao You took Xie Zhuo into the Liang Palace, Xie Fuya watched the vermilion gate slowly close, and said to Rushi: "Let's go to the tea shop on the street and wait." ”
After saying that, Xie Fuya took the maidservant girl to the tea shop on the street. When the people who watched the excitement saw that there was no drama to watch, they all dispersed, and those who did good things followed behind Xie Fuya, hoping to hear something.
A tea shop is a simple place to drink tea with a shed set up on the side of the street, three or five tables, and a few stools. There are only four or five kinds of tea here, and none of them are expensive and good teas, so you can quench your thirst.
Xie Fuya's master and servant sat down at a table in the shed, and called the boss to bring a pot of flower tea.
The boss is a middle-aged couple, and when they saw a beautiful little woman with her maidservant girl into their tea shop, they were busy entertaining.
"What kind of tea does this grandma want to drink? The tea in the shop is rough, and I don't know if it's to your taste. The proprietress said.
The common people only know that the saint has crowned the daughter of Princess Anyang as the county lord of Jingyi, but few people have seen Xie Fuya's true appearance. So the proprietress didn't know that one of the two women in front of her was the county lord, and she just thought that the grandmother of the rich and noble family came to rest.
"It's okay, just quench your thirst. "Xie Fuya doesn't care.
The proprietress looked a little surprised, but seeing that Xie Fuya's eyes kept looking at the door of King Liang's mansion, she understood in her heart.
People don't come to the shop to drink tea and taste tea, but this tea shop is in a good location, and you can see the situation at the entrance of King Liang's mansion!
The proprietress hurried to brew the tea, and she still took the best tea in the store to brew.
After the tea was brewed, it was brought to the table, and Rushi scalded the tea set with hot tea water, and asked the store to add water.
The proprietress sighed in her heart: This rich man is very particular, and the first pot of water is not drunk to make tea sets!
The boss brought the kettle to add water, Rushi first poured herself half a cup and shook and smelled, and then blew a small sip of cold drink.
"County Lord, this tea ...... It's not a good tea. Rushi put down the teacup and whispered, "But it's enough to quench your thirst." ”
After speaking, Rushi lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the master.
The proprietress pouted secretly: It's just a girl, and the score is bigger than the master!
Xie Fuya picked up the teacup and looked at it, put it back on the table, and then sighed deeply.
"Rushi, what do you say if Uncle Liang really beats his brother with that wattle?" Xie Fuya asked the maidservant worriedly, "Do you want to invite your parents back sooner?"
Rushi said: "It's okay for the concubine to be in the academy, but the princess is on the boat, so I want to invite her back, and the princess's boat has to dock." Don't worry, the county lord, King Liang is your uncle and uncle, and he shouldn't punish the uncle. ”
The tea shop owner and the proprietress stood not far away, listening to what the master and servant were saying.
"That being said, Cousin Xi is the youngest son of Uncle and Aunt Liang. Xie Fuya said worriedly.
The boss and his wife next to him and the people who came to listen to something were ignorant, but they probably knew that Xie Yuma and Princess Anyang's dumb son were in trouble again!
Rushi persuaded a few more words on the side, until the tea was cold, and Xie Zhuo didn't come out of it.
Xie Fuya's fingers hidden in his sleeves slowly clenched, and his palms were already full of sweat!
With so many people watching, King Liang won't trick Xie Zhuo into the palace and then do anything unfavorable to him, right?
Just when Xie Fuya was thinking about whether to enter the Liang Palace, the door of the palace creaked open!
Xie Fuya got up sharply and accidentally bumped into the table, the teacup toppled over, the tea flowed sideways, and some of the tea stained her pale pink Luo skirt.
"County Lord be careful!" Rushi hurriedly helped Xie Fuya away from the table.
The proprietress also hurried over to cover the tea with a rag, "Ouch, it's not burning you, is it?"
Xie Fuya asked Rushi to pay for the tea, and she quickly walked out of the shed towards the door of King Liang's mansion.
Xie Zhuo's hair was already tied up, and he was wearing a brocade and white robe, and he walked out of the Liang Palace.
Behind Xie Zuo was followed by two people, one was the chief steward of the palace, and the other was Cheng Song, the son of Lu Guogong.
"The steward doesn't have to send it, please go back. Xie Zhuo walked down the steps, turned around and said politely to the palace steward.
The steward of the palace hurriedly saluted and said, "Uncle Zhuo go slowly."
When Xie Fuya came to the gate of the palace, she saw Xie Zhuo stretching a big waist.
"Brother!" Xie Fuya called forward to greet him, "How are you?" Have you been ...... by King Liang Uncle smoked with wattle sticks?"
"Of course not!" Xie Zhuo patted his chest and said, "Uncle Liang Wang is very kind and didn't reproach me!
Xie Fuya looked at Xie Zhuo to confirm that he really didn't look like something was wrong. I wanted to ask how the process was, but I just raised my eyes and saw Cheng Song standing behind Xie Zhuo, and she swallowed back what she wanted to ask.
"It's good if there's nothing to do, but fortunately, Uncle Liang Wang is magnanimous. Xie Fuya said, "How is Cousin Xi?
Xie Zhuo's face fell, "Not yet, but I heard that the imperial doctor came to see it and prescribed medicine." Liang Wang...... Uncle said that after drinking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, Cousin Xi will be fine tomorrow. ”
Xie Fuya knew that Zhao Xi would be fine, but she was really relieved when she heard Xie Zhuo say this. She felt a little guilty about Zhao Xi, but she didn't regret it.
Cheng Song heard that Xie Fuya was outside, so he deliberately came out to take a look under the pretext of sending Xie Zhuo out.
"Cheng Shizi is still in the palace. Xie Fuya looked at Cheng Song and said lightly, "I thought that the prince would leave after sending Cousin Xi back to the palace." ”
Xie Fuya, who changed back into women's clothes, was beautiful and arrogant, very different from the delicate when she was dressed as a small girl on the ship.
Hearing Xie Fuya's ridicule, Cheng Song smiled, "If I go home, where can I enjoy the good show of Uncle Zhuo's guilt?"
Xie Zhuo's face darkened, and he turned his head to stare at Cheng Song!
Xie Fuya was afraid that Xie Zhuo would quarrel with Cheng Song again, so she hurriedly said, "Brother, let's go back first today." I'll come over tomorrow and ask my aunt for another sin. ”
The carriage stopped at the corner of the street, and Xie Fuya and the others got into the carriage and left.
Cheng Song looked at the carriage in the distance, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, so he hid the fact that Shefya was hiding on the ship in disguised as a man. If it is said out, King Liang must be more suspicious, maybe Xie Fuya will also be included in the list to be "eliminated"!
As for the other people who were on the cruise, Cheng Song wasn't sure if they were Xie Zhuo's accomplices or knew something, but those people definitely wouldn't tell the story of Xie Fuya's presence on the cruise. Because they're friends with Xie Zhuo!
Shefuya, this woman is so funny!
Cheng Song became interested in her, he wanted to see what Xie Fuya wanted to do in the end! Will he pull the ambitious King Liang off his horse and keep the crown prince's throne!
Turning around and entering the palace, Cheng Song didn't really want to go to King Liang's study, and after thinking about it, he walked towards Zhao Xi's courtyard.
When he was still a few steps away from Zhao Xi's courtyard gate, he saw a palace servant running out of it, and ran towards Cheng Song as if someone was chasing him!
Cheng ...... Cheng Shizi!" the little guy gasped, "Four...... Four...... Fourth master, he ......"
Cheng Song's heart sank, and he grabbed the little girl's arm and asked sharply, "What's wrong with the fourth master?"
Isn't there other poison that is flareing up now?
"The fourth master is awake!" the little guy said excitedly after taking two breaths, "The fourth master is awake!
When Zhao Xi woke up, he looked for himself? Cheng Song pushed away the little guy and strode into Zhao Xi's yard and house.
"Cheng Shizi. The maidservants who were waiting in the room were busy saluting.
"Fourth Master woke up?" Cheng Song asked in a low voice.
Before the maidservant could answer, Zhao Xi's weak voice came from the inner room, "Ziyu, is it you?" ”
Cheng Song's expression was grim, and he strode into the inner room.
On the bed in the inner room, Zhao Xi was lying on the bed with his eyes open, and the red on his face was much lighter.
"Fourth master. Cheng Song stepped forward, "You're awake." ”
Zhao Xi nodded to indicate that he was sober, and then said to the servants waiting in the room: "You are all ...... All go out, I have something to say to Cheng Shizi...... To say. ”
The subordinates lowered their heads and exited Zhao Xi's bedroom one after another.
"Ziyu, you...... You didn't put Cousin Fuya's ...... Tell your father about it?" Zhao Xi asked with a slurp.
