Xuanyuan Jingxi didn't know what he had done until he saw her angry face, he hurriedly put away the anger on his face, chased him out and said, "I didn't mean that!" Don't get me wrong! ”

Gu Ruoxi turned her head and glared at him fiercely and said, "What did I misunderstand?" Or does your Royal Highness King Jing think I'm mentally handicapped and can't understand the meaning of that sentence? ”

"Xi'er, listen to me, I was really confused just now!" Xuanyuan Jingxi walked a few steps briskly and grabbed Gu Ruoxi, who was leaving angrily, by the door. He softened his voice and said, "It was my fault just now, I shouldn't have vented my anger on you, I'm sorry." ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she glanced back at Xuanyuan Jingxi, and saw that his face was really full of remorse, and the anger in her heart also disappeared a lot, and she said in a deep voice: "Okay, I don't care so much about you, who called you the prince." And I'm just a handmaiden? ”

"Xi'er, you know, I never looked at you as a handmaid." Xuanyuan Jingxi hurriedly explained.

Gu Ruoxi snorted coldly, noncommittal.

After coaxing her, Xuanyuan Jingxi immediately thought about it in his heart, was this matter done by Xuanyuan Yu or Liang Rujun? Both men seem to be suspicious......

As a secret guard, Ziyi's speed is still quite fast, and it took her less than half a day to find out that this rumor that was unfavorable to Xuanyuan Jingxi was from Lu Zhanfei, the son of Lu Yongjun, the head of the household department, and he also participated in the Yuchun Lou Oiran feast that day.

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard the news, even if he sent someone to investigate Lu Zhanfei, he had no impression of this person at all.

But Ziyi stood there and didn't move: "Lord Wang." When the subordinates found out that it was this person, they had already investigated this Lu Zhanfei by the way. He is a well-known gentleman in Kyoto, lingering in the Qinglou all day long, and the whole person who is only about 20 years old has hollowed out his body, thin into a hemp rod, a black and yellow face, and a mouth on weekdays is also open-mouthed, drunk and began to talk nonsense, and once leaked a lot of secrets of people who were good friends with him in the Qinglou. Very few people have befriended him now, and it is not surprising that this incident came from him. ”

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, his face sank like water: "Have you ever found out what is the relationship between this Lu Zhanfei and Xuanyuan Yu?" ”

Ziyi shook his head: "This person is a mess, His Royal Highness the Third Prince will never befriend him, but his subordinates also found out that this Lu Zhanfei had met Qin Lie, the son of the Shilang Mansion of the Ministry of War, two or three days ago." ”

"Qin Lie?" Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, and his eyes finally lit up: "Is that Qin Lie who has been following Xuanyuan Yu in front of the saddle and behind the horse?" ”

Ziyi nodded.

Xuanyuan Jingxi slapped his thigh, and immediately said excitedly: "This matter has nothing to do with Xuanyuan Yu, my name Xuanyuan Jingxi is written upside down!" ”

Gu Ruoxi didn't speak on the side, lest Xuanyuan Jingxi misunderstand anything.

But she didn't speak, Xuanyuan Jingxi became more and more cranky, and he looked at her face. some

Smug and a little cautious, he said, "Look, I'm right, right?" ”

Gu Ruoxi couldn't see his villainous appearance, so he coughed at the moment and changed the topic: "Then Lord Wang, what do you want to do?" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, and really forgot what he cared about before, he frowned deeply, and then sneered: "Xuanyuan Yu hurt me this time, I will definitely not spare him, as for the method...... Hehe, wait and see! Xuanyuan Jingxi said that, he actually stood up and strode out.

Gu Ruoxi and Ziyi stayed in the local area, looking at each other, and no one knew what kind of medicine was sold in Xuanyuan Jing's zucchini. Throwing and spitting blood.

"I'll go out and have a look." Ziyi said a word, and immediately walked out by himself.

Gu Ruoxi stayed where she was, sighed and didn't say anything, this time, Xuanyuan Jingxi obviously didn't want her to interfere, so she would stay here quietly.

In this way, after half a day, Gu Ruoxi was cooking soup in the kitchen, and Xuanyuan Jingxi came back excitedly.

"Xi'er, guess how I got revenge on Xuanyuan Yu?"

Hearing this, Gu Ruoxi raised her head from the boiling heat and took a look, only to see that the young man was dressed in a black brocade robe, but his face was as white as snow, and the smile on his lips was raging, she put down the soup spoon and asked casually, "How did you do it?" ”

"This king ordered people to burn down Yuchun Tower!" Xuanyuan Jingxi said word by word.

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he was immediately startled: "There are so many people in the building!" What do you do if you set fire to someone? ”

"Don't worry, the people in Yuchun Building have already fled, and only an empty building remains." Xuanyuan Jingxi said confidently: "The reason why I chose to do it today is because today is the day when the imperial brother ordered Xuanyuan Yu to go to the Yuchun Building with the gold to pay off the debt. As he spoke, a grim smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she immediately understood, and she suddenly realized: "I'm afraid the news that the third prince went to Yuchun Tower to pay off the debt today has already spread, and you set fire to Yuchun Tower, so that the third prince can't give away the silver in his hand, he has betrayed his faith after all, and everyone will think that he doesn't want to pay this silver, so he set fire to Yuchun Tower." ”

"Clever! That's it! Xuanyuan Jingxi said proudly: "If I do this, Xuanyuan Yu's reputation will be completely stinky!" Hum! Fight with me, or go back and breastfeed for another two years! ”

Gu Ruoxi saw his extremely proud expression, and couldn't help but want to pour cold water on him: "The third prince must have guessed that you did this, and the emperor also guessed it." ”

"So what?" Xuanyuan Jingxi said indifferently: "Just like when you were kidnapped before, I guessed that Liang Rujun did this thing, but I still didn't do anything?" Xuanyuan Yu him

is not innocent, dare to wantonly destroy the reputation of this king, then he is ready to be retaliated! ”

"Then the emperor is there......" Gu Ruoxi was still worried.

Xuanyuan Jingxi sneered and said, "Without evidence, I'm not afraid of him at all!" ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi's proud appearance, and frowned: "Lord Wang, I advise you to take it away!" Haven't you heard a word? ”

"What?" Xuanyuan Jingxi asked with interest.

Gu Ruoxi said: "Happiness and sorrow, have you heard of it?" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi's face changed suddenly.

Gu Ruoxi said calmly: "I'm not cursing you, I just hope you don't get too proud, although Yuchun Tower was burned, but this matter is not over, you hurry up and do all the aftermath work, so that even if the emperor and the three princes want to investigate, they can't find any evidence." ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jingxi's face softened, and he suddenly stepped forward, hugged Gu Ruoxi in his arms, buried his head in her neck socket and said, "You still care about me." ”

Gu Ruoxi couldn't stand his clingy appearance like a puppy, and immediately stretched out his hand to refuse: "Okay, you go out first, you can wait for the meal." ”

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he hugged the woman in his arms fiercely for a while, and then reluctantly let go.

Gu Ruoxi stretched out his hand and pushed him out of the door: "You go to the flower hall and sit down first, don't get in the way here." ”

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, his eyebrows suddenly raised high: "Am I in the way?" ”

Gu Ruoxi knew that he was speechless, and immediately remedied: "Okay, okay, can't I say the wrong thing?" You go out and stay out first! ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi flashed in, and said as he walked: "No, since you say that I am in the way, then I must do something to prove that I am not such a person." As he spoke, he walked over, lifted the lid on the clay pot with a clean rag, stirred it with a soup spoon, scooped up a spoonful and looked at the soup carefully, and said confidently: "This soup has been boiled, right?" ”

Gu Ruoxi nodded. Then she saw Xuanyuan Jingxi use both hands together to bring down the can of soup, that careful posture, as if holding a treasure, she wanted to laugh, but as soon as the corners of her mouth were raised, she pressed it down.

Xuanyuan Jingxi was concentrating on serving the soup, and he didn't see her expression.

After serving the soup and dishes, Xuanyuan Jingxi didn't need Gu Ruoxi to do it at all, and personally transferred the food prepared in the kitchen to the front yard, and Gu Ruoxi rested on the side.

After one o'clock, everyone returned to the side hall and sat around the dining table, Xuanyuan Jingxi was tired for a long time, but he did not show any fatigue at all, but his face was radiant, as if he had done something terrible.

Seeing his appearance, Mo Yun couldn't help but leaned into Ziyi's ear and whispered, "What kind of wind is the prince smoking today?" ”

As soon as the words landed, Xuanyuan Jingxi kicked his foot under the table, and Mo Yun immediately let out a cry like killing a pig, startling Gu Ruoxi and Ziyi.

"Eat." Xuanyuan Jingxi retracted his feet and said calmly.

The two pairs of eyes, one on the left and one on the right, were all fixed on Mo Yun's face, and when they saw his grinning appearance, Gu Ruoxi and Ziyi couldn't help but laugh lowly.

Mo Yun's face suddenly burned as uncomfortable.

After the meal, the secret guards brought back another news, and sure enough, as Xuanyuan Jingxi expected, as soon as Yuchun Tower was burned, everyone's spearhead was aimed at Xuanyuan Yu, and the rumor about Xuanyuan Jingxi was really unfounded, so it was a little unstoppable.

After breakfast, Xuanyuan Jingxi went into the palace in a majestic and high-spirited manner, he first went to visit the Queen Mother in Cining Palace, and then went directly to the imperial study.

His reputation was falsely accused, Xuanyuan Jingxi absolutely refused to sit still, although he secretly thought of a way to take revenge on Xuanyuan Yu, but on the surface, he still had to make a fuss, otherwise, this would not be in line with his Xuanyuan prince's temperament.

Therefore, the emperor has been waiting for him for a long time, Xuanyuan Jingxi can choose in the afternoon, and he has not rushed in early in the morning, he already feels a little unaccustomed.

Xuanyuan Jingxi didn't say anything long-winded, but went straight to the point: "Brother Huang, you know, I have been accompanying the Queen Mother in Cining Palace for the past few days, and I don't have time to go back at all, I don't know which one chewed the root of my tongue, and even said that I have a habit of breaking sleeves!" This man is really a woman with a long tongue! I beg the royal brother to make the decision for me and punish those who talk too much! ”

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Oh? There are already rumors like this? Seventh brother, have you found out who is behind the rumors? ”

"Naturally, I found it!" Xuanyuan Jingxi gritted his teeth and said: "It is Lu Zhanfei, the son of Lu Yongjun, the head of the household department!" ”

The emperor still has a little impression of this Lu Zhanfei, knowing that this person is a gentleman, often lingering in the Qinglou, and there is no door on his mouth, he dares to say anything, Xuanyuan Jingxi found out that it is this person, he is not surprised at all, and immediately ordered: "Come here!" Escort Lu Zhanfei into the palace! ”

"Yes! Emperor! Minions obey! The emperor's voice landed, and soon a guard outside the door answered, and then quickly retreated.

In the imperial study, the emperor, dressed in bright yellow service, slowly stood up from behind the case, patted Xuanyuan Jingxi on the shoulder with a smile and said: "You don't have to be in a hurry, I will definitely find out about this matter and give you justice!" ”

"Then thank you Brother Huang." Xuanyuan Jingxi said lightly, he didn't mention Qin Lie.

That Lu Zhanfei is a mouth-to-mouth, when the emperor interrogates him, he will definitely say everything in 1510, he doesn't need to talk about it at all.

While waiting, the emperor looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi, and asked again: "Seventh brother, I have always wanted to ask you, why do you want to?"

The prince of the Marquis of Zhongyong is imprisoned in your mansion? I heard that Liang Ziye is indeed a beautiful Pan Ye, you can't really be ......"

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, his forehead suddenly jumped up, and he said with a cold face: "Brother Huang, everyone else doubts me, even you are beginning to doubt it?" Don't you know what kind of person I am? ”

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly felt embarrassed in his heart, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Seventh brother! Have you ever visited your mother since you entered the palace? ”

"I've seen it." Xuanyuan Jingxi softened his face and said.

The emperor saw that he was calm, and suddenly began to move again, and he said tentatively: "Seventh brother, do you know that Yuchun Tower is on fire today?" ”

"Of course you know!" Xuanyuan Jingxi gloated: "Such a big news, I heard it on the way to the palace!" ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately raised his head and looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi intently, but Xuanyuan Jingxi didn't leak, he couldn't see anything at all, and only said: "This fire is too sudden, it stands to reason that the blue sky is in the daylight, it shouldn't be able to go to water, but the Yuchun Building just burned to ashes, even if it is too late to save it, why is this?" ”

"Brother Huang, you asked this, but I stopped asking me!" Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled faintly and said, "I've been riddled with rumors recently, and it's too late to take care of myself, where can I have time to think about anything else?" ”

"Then you don't feel sorry for Yu'er?" The emperor smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Your uncle and nephew have such a good relationship, how can you watch him lose his reputation because of a fire?" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi didn't seem to have thought about this problem before, he looked at the emperor with serious eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang, it's not like that, right?" Xuanyuan Yu is not that kind of person, everyone will not change their opinions easily......"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." The emperor shook his head and sighed: "I can only try my best to remedy it, Yu'er, he is still just a child!" I suffered such a catastrophe, hey! ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi was uncomfortable accompanying the emperor on the side, but his heart was happy.

"Well, I shouldn't have asked you about this matter, I was just upset in my heart, so I opened my mouth to ask you." The Emperor sighed and immediately stopped talking.

……

Lu Zhanfei entered the palace two hours later, he was escorted in by the guards with his hands tied up, a thin and tall body in a wide brocade robe, and then he was escorted, more and more thin, he was born with a good appearance, handsome facial features, but his face was sallow, as if he had some incurable disease, the whole person looked decadent, and it also echoed his reputation as a playboy.

Xuanyuan Jingxi only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, and couldn't help but think of what Ziyi said, this Lu Zhanfei was really exactly the same as she described.

Lu Zhanfei was suddenly escorted into the palace, until he knelt on the golden silk embroidered dragon blanket, then he felt that his body began to tremble, and he didn't need the guards to do it, he himself knelt down with a thud, and asked Ye Dao in a trembling voice:

"Xiaosheng Lu Zhanfei, see the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! When he saw Xuanyuan Jingxi sitting on the side, his body trembled again, and his voice trembled more and more: "See His Royal Highness King Jing!" The king is auspicious! ”

The emperor didn't tell him to get up, his eyes were sharp on Lu Zhanfei's face, and he said slowly: "Lu Zhanfei, right?" Have you ever been to Yuchun Tower a few days ago? Lu Zhanfei subconsciously wanted to refute, but Xuanyuan Jingxi looked at him with a smile on the side, Lu Zhanfei was suddenly a little confused, there were a lot of people in Yuchun Tower that day, and there were countless people who had seen him, how could he deny it? If you tell a lie in front of the emperor, you are guilty of deceiving the king! When the time comes, even his father will not be able to save him.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhanfei trembled and said: "Go back to the emperor, Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng has been there." ”

"Oh?" When the emperor heard this, he immediately asked lightly, "Then have you ever seen His Royal Highness King Jing?" And Liang Gongzi of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion? ”

When Lu Zhanfei heard this, he immediately turned his head and glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi, and was suddenly frightened by his expressionless appearance. ”

"Oh? Did you see that, too? When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he immediately smiled slightly.

Lu Zhanfei nodded.

The emperor opened his mouth again and asked: "I don't go around in circles with you anymore, recently it has been rumored in the capital that His Royal Highness King Jing and Zhong Yonghou's son Liang Ziye have a habit of breaking their sleeves, Lu Zhanfei, you come to explain to me, who spread this?" ”
