Chapter 043: Erase the Past
The money, silver, goods, and people of dozens of shops are gathered together, and money and silver alone are a lot of wealth, not to mention people.
Don't underestimate these people, if they are used skillfully, these people can become her eyes and her hands.
Not to mention that the whole country can't hide it from her eyes, at the very least, if there are things like Huo Yan and Geng Lian, she will definitely not be completely kept in the dark like in her previous life.
God knows how hard it took her to restrain herself from taking that yin jade for herself.
Want to either?
Wanted.
But she didn't dare to ask for it.
Yin jade and yang jade complement each other, if there is no yang jade for sure, yin jade is useless even in hand, and vice versa.
In other words, once she accepts Yin Jade and uses it, then all her methods will be exposed to Wei Che and there will be nothing to hide.
People are all subject to change, and Geng Da was also desperate to protect his father back then, but what happened later?
In her previous life, she also believed in Xiao Yunhai in every way, and even told him the secret passage of the palace and entrusted Heng'er to him, but what happened?!
If she is accustomed to acting with Yin Jade and really turns those dozens of shops into her eyes and her hands, but if one day, she and Wei Che have a falling out, will she have to return to the situation where she is now blind and unavailable?
It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
She didn't want to rely on one person like that, and she didn't dare to rely on one person.
Looking at the Yin Jade in front of her, thinking of what she was about to lose, Xie Wan felt a pain in her flesh.
Begonia on the side looked at her appearance and wondered: "If the princess is reluctant, why should she go back?" ”
"It's one thing, it's another thing to be reluctant." Xie Wan waved her hand painfully: "Don't mention it, it will hurt to mention this palace again." ”
Her appearance made Begonia feel distressed and funny.
Lilac on the side looked at Xie Wan, and her expression moved slightly: "Actually, according to the slave maid, the princess doesn't have to return it at all." ”
Lilac is a man of few words, but after this day's understanding, Xie Wan found that if she didn't speak, she was just talking about it, and when she spoke, she was talking about the main points.
And she asked seriously, "Why?" ”
Lilac sat down and bowed slightly, and then said: "The slave doesn't know the past between the princess and the princess, and if there is anything inappropriate, please forgive the princess." ”
Xie Wan waved her hand: "It's okay for you to say it." ”
"There are two reasons why the slave thinks this thing is not suitable for return."
Lilac analyzed: "According to the slave maid, this yin jade is not a dispensable thing for the princess, even if it is given to the princess, it represents his trust in the princess, and even a sincere heart, if the princess does not accept it, what will the princess think?" “
What would he think?
According to that person's stingy nature, if it is good, he may think that she is unwilling to take advantage of him, if it is not good, he will definitely think that she dislikes him and refuses to accept what he gives!
If that's the case, I don't know how to get angry and how to make trouble.
Thinking about his angry appearance, Xie Wan's heart couldn't help but tighten, and she blinked: "What about the second?" ”
"The second is the princess." Lilac looked at Xie Wan and said: "The princess has many things, although the slave maid does not know as much as Sister Begonia, but from the fact that the princess obviously does not like Lord Xiao, but she still has to be false and wrong, the princess obviously has a predicament, and the princess is very reluctant to return the yin jade, and it can be seen that this yin jade can help the princess's predicament." ”
Speaking of this, Lilac asked a little puzzled: "In that case, why doesn't the princess accept it?" Since the princess has taken the initiative to expose his secret to the princess, the princess is just following the trend, so why should she worry? Moreover, the world is impermanent, if the princess has a heart, why not use the power of this yin jade to help herself? ”
A few words, well-founded.
Hearing Haitang clapping her hands on the side, she looked at Lilac with a look of adoration and said, "Sister Lilac, I used to think that you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be so smart!" ”
Xie Wan thought carefully about Lilac's words and felt that what she said was also very reasonable.
She only thought of the bad side, but not the good side.
This jade was given to her by Wei Che on his own initiative, which means that he took the initiative to expose himself in front of her.
No matter what the future holds, at least for now, he treats her with sincerity.
If you give it back to him, not to mention whether it will hurt his sincerity, it will not benefit you.
After Xiao Yunhai's assassination, she really shouldn't just act on impulse and thoughts, she should think about the cause and effect before making a decision.
She really needs this jade now, and as for her hidden worries, she should avoid them, rather than eliminate all good intentions in the first place.
Xie Wan, who figured it out, put the yin jade close to her, she looked at Lilac and said seriously: "What you said is very right, it is the palace that thinks badly, this jade does not need to be returned, we don't have to return it, let's go to the princess's mansion." ”
Because Empress Shen said that the repair should be completed within three months, now the craftsmen are working hard in the scorching summer.
When the supervisor of the Shaofu Division saw Xie Wan, he immediately stepped forward to salute and reported the progress of the repair with her.
Xie Wan's mind at the moment was not on the renovation of the princess's mansion, and after listening to his report, she rejected his proposal to take her around, but said, "There is no need to follow, the palace will walk around by itself." ”
The supervisor of the Shaofu Division thought that she didn't like someone to bother her, so she respectfully gave way.
Xie Wan led Lilac and Begonia around, and walked to a remote place with a turn of her feet, until she came to a quiet and uninhabited place, then she stopped and said, "The dark guard is there?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that several black-clothed people appeared from the shadows everywhere and landed in front of her, no more, no less, exactly ten people.
They all clasped their fists at her and saluted: "I've seen the princess." ”
"Get up, no need to be polite." Xie Wan's gaze swept over them one by one: "These days, you are all hiding in the princess's mansion?" ”
One of them hugged his fists and said: "If you go back to the princess, your subordinates can wait for General Huo Lang's orders, and they are all waiting for the arrival of the princess here these days." ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Xie Wan didn't know much about the secret guards, because no matter in her previous life or in this life, there were no secret guards by her side, and the only one she had was Huo Chuan and the Imperial Forest Army under Huo Chuan's rule.
Now that there are suddenly ten secret guards, she doesn't know how they operate on weekdays, and the hour is still early, so she asked Lilac and Begonia to guard outside the courtyard, and then asked the doubts in her heart one by one.
For example, where they hide on weekdays, how many copies they have, how they distribute them, where their homes are, and whether there are other people in their homes.
These questions were all answered by the secret guard who spoke before, and when it came to home, the secret guard said: "If you go back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, your subordinates and others have no home, let alone a family. ”
Hearing this, Xie Wan finally knew what Huo Chuan's sentence of 'erasing the past' meant.
She nodded to indicate that she knew, and then said: "No home now does not mean that there will be no in the future, from now on, you will be the people of this princess, and you will take the side of this palace as your home for the time being." ”
