Four hundred and four, who should I ask
"Princess Shizi, why don't you speak?"
Zhou Yunxi naturally didn't speak, only took a sip of tea, and looked thoughtful. Such a look made Xiling Ying uneasy, of course, how true or false this so-called uneasiness was, it is still unknown.
"I just don't understand why the princess is like this today."
Her words were also said simply, which made Xilingying's face stiffen again.
"If you make a mistake, you should be punished." Xiling Ying said sneeringly, "This is the Great Chu, not the Western Regions, everything naturally has to follow the rules of the Great Chu." β
"Speaking of rulesβ"
Zhou Yunxi hooked his lips suddenly, with a shallow smile on his face. The abruptness of this smile made Xiling Ying suddenly have a bad premonition in his heart.
But seeing Zhou Yunxi's innocent and harmless face, he felt that he was thinking too much. In Xilingying's view, even if Zhou Yunxi has become the princess of the Hou Mansion now, she is just a low-born flat-headed commoner.
If you really want to say that there is any scheming or planning, you may not be able to.
Even if there really is, in Xilingying's eyes, it is all pediatrics, and there is nothing on the table. This is the result of Xiling Ying growing up in the palace of the Western Regions, and in her eyes, no one is smarter than herself.
Such a conceited attitude has indeed made Xiling suffer a big loss since then. even almost lost his life.
"I'm a little curious, if you follow the rules of your Western Regions, what kind of punishment will you give if you set fire to someone else's shop at the feet of the Son of Heaven and cause injuries to the people in the shop?"
As soon as these words came out, Xi Lingying's face suddenly froze. She probably knew what Zhou Yunxi meant, but if she really followed Zhou Yunxi's words, Xi Fanlin and the others would really have no way to live.
Thinking of this, Xiling Ying suddenly didn't know how to speak.
"Princess?"
Zhou Yunxi naturally didn't plan to skip this question, and when he saw that Xiling Ying didn't speak, he asked again, making it clear that he didn't give up until he got an answer.
Such an attitude made Xiling Ying's face more and more ugly, but because of Zhou Yunxi's identity and the purpose of her coming here today, she endured it again and again, and did not have a seizure.
"Sin unto death."
Xi Ling Ying said these four words a little hesitantly, although she wanted to clear up her involvement in the arson, but she didn't think about taking the lives of Xi Fan Lin and others.
Although, Xi Fanlin's disrespectful attitude towards her made Xi Lingying feel very displeased. But Rao is like this, and Xi Lingying didn't plan to let Xi Fan Lin and the others die in Dachu.
In any case, Xi Fanlin and the others can be regarded as some of the people who protect her.
"So?" Zhou Yunxi didn't say anything else, but showed a little embarrassment, "I didn't expect that the punishments and rules of the Western Regions were even more severe than those of Da Chu in this regard." β
Zhou Yunxi sighed at this, but it gave Xiling Ying the feeling that Zhou Yunxi was insinuating that the punishment in the Western Regions was too heavy, unsympathetic, and not comparable to the regular punishment of Da Chu.
"My father has always been intolerant of these things, after all, such an act is a contempt for the king's power, and whoever changes it will be angry." Xiling Ying said slowly, staring at Zhou Yunxi with a pair of eyes, "Emperor Great Chu is benevolent, this is a fact. β
"So the princess thinks the king of the Western Regions is not benevolent enough?"
Zhou Yunxi raised his eyebrows, clearly picking thorns from Xiling's words. For this, Xilingying's complexion is also a lot ugly, but she is still patient. 2020
"The Western Regions don't need to be peaceful, many tribal leaders under his command are ready to move, if they don't take thunderous measures, they will definitely not be able to contain it."
"The princess was born in a peaceful Great Chu, and it is normal that she doesn't know about these things." As he spoke, Xiling Ying paused slightly, "Sometimes, it's not that my father is unwilling, but that the tribal leaders under his command are really difficult to subdue. β
"I've heard that the boundaries of the Western Regions are a bit chaotic." Zhou Yunxi was still smiling, and his complexion did not change because of Xiling's words, "But I didn't expect this to be the case." β
"There's nothing to say about these things." Xiling smiled, "The princess hasn't told me yet, what she plans to do with these guys who don't know the height of the sky." β
This remark made Zhou Yunxi blink, and directly threw this question to Xiling Ying.
"How does the princess think it should be punished?"
Zhou Yunxi's words were clearly to embarrass Xi Lingying. Of course, throwing this matter to Xiling Ying like kicking a ball was only because the fire only lost silver, and did not hurt the lives of the people in the store.
If something happened to his life, Zhou Yunxi would never be like this.
Naturally, Zhou Yunxi has not forgotten the guy who lost a leg because of the fire, so this justice, Zhou Yunxi will also get it back according to the interest.
"Since you have entered Da Chu, and this is the imperial capital of Da Chu, why should you act according to the rules of Da Chu, what do you think, princess?"
These words mean that they don't want to take the lives of Xi Fan Lin and others.
Zhou Yunxi didn't intend to ask for his life, but thinking that Chu Ci was originally going to use this matter to put the Western Regions side in a state of loss, he didn't rush to speak.
She frowned in thought, as if wondering what to do.
"The princess?"
"Having said that, one of my fellows injured a leg because of this fire, and there is no hope for that leg to be healed in this life."
Zhou Yunxi's voice was very soft, but it was enough for Xiling Ying to hear clearly. As soon as these words came out, Xiling Ying was stunned for a while, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
She only knew that no one had been injured, but she had never thought that someone would be so badly injured! I thought that this matter was relatively easy to solve, and there would be no major problems as long as I had that attitude, but I didn't want to have such a thing!
Looking at Zhou Yunxi's appearance, it is also clear that he wants to be a good student!
"The princess might as well tell me about your plans?" Xiling Ying thought for a while, and finally asked, "Since such a big disaster has been caused, any consequences caused by this matter should be borne by him." β
"I can't do anything about it." Zhou Yunxi opened his mouth slowly, and his eyebrows seemed to have a little smile, "The princess thinks that why did the ministers of the DPRK and China come to buy flower tea in person?" β
"All the shops under my name, more or less, are funded by the emperor." Zhou Yunxi said for a moment, "In other words, although I have the right to decide these things, I have to ask the emperor what the emperor means about the big things, if I say this, the princess may understand?" β
"How-"
Hearing this, Xiling Ying's complexion suddenly changed.
She didn't understand why Zhou Yunxi was able to expand the shop in the capital without incident, and the reason was that it was so!
"These people can be regarded as doing things for the emperor." Zhou Yunxi opened her eyes and said nonsense, and buttoned her head with one high hat after another, "So it's useless for the princess to look for me, I want to go to the emperor and ask the emperor what he means." β
