Chapter 16: The Swingers
In just a few words, the situation was immediately reversed. Obviously, he cheated death and committed the crime of defrauding the king, but now it has become the prince's selfish crime of endangering national security, which of these two crimes is more serious, it is clear at a glance that Su Yijin can't help but secretly admire Ye Hanxuan, he is really clever and eloquent, compared with it, he is willing to bow down.
Ye Tingchen's face was pale at this time, his face was covered with beads of sweat, his whole body trembled, and he immediately knelt in front of Ye Hanxuan, and said: "Uncle Huang, Chen'er knows his mistake, Chen'er is just bent on the case of the flower thief, and wants to solve this case as soon as possible to relieve the panic of the people, but I didn't expect that it might lead to such serious consequences." "If you let your father hear it, not only may you lose your position as the crown prince, but if you let someone guide him and say that he did it on purpose, he may also be accused of "collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country", and his life will be difficult to protect, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Ye Hanxuan seemed to be very satisfied with Ye Tingchen's reaction, and continued to drink tea: "This king has already sent someone to curb the spread of the news, you can rest assured." ”
Ye Tingchen breathed a sigh of relief, and still knelt on the ground: "Chen'er knows that Uncle Huang loves Chen'er the most, and today's feelings, Chen'er is unforgettable." After speaking, he kowtowed to the ground in a proper manner.
Su Yijin only felt goosebumps constantly popping up all over her body, obviously they were two men of the same age, just because of their different generations, they actually said such a sensual thing, it was disgusting.
Ye Hanxuan didn't pay attention to his kowtow at all, and he didn't mean to let him get up, but he continued: "I can stop the news from flowing out, but I can't stop the rumors that are spreading wantonly in the city, and when General Su returns to the city, everything will be known." If Miss Su makes any mistakes during this period, I think the first person General Su will look for should be you. ”
Ye Tingchen raised his head suddenly, but he was very aggrieved in his heart, he was not the only one who wanted to kill Su Yijin, why did he count all her mistakes on his own head?
If he really offends General Su, it is equivalent to offending half of the generals in the court, and his position as the crown prince is not in jeopardy?
"Yes, that's what Uncle Huang said." Ye Tingchen has no energy, and now his arrogance is gone.
Ye Hanxuan suddenly yawned and flicked his sleeves: "Okay, you guys go down, what this king said today, prince, think about it." ”
"Yes, Uncle Huang." Ye Tingchen slowly got up, walked out of the cabin with slightly numb legs.
And Su Yiling, who was on the side, immediately followed closely behind him, and just wanted to go out, Ye Hanxuan's voice came from behind his ears.
"Miss Su......"
"Lord Wang." Su Yiling saluted gently, not knowing what King Xuan called him.
"Brother Ling was seriously injured on the front line, and he can return to Beijing for treatment on the same day, so Miss Su should focus on serious things." It's a reminder and a warning.
Su Yiling's whole body trembled, her voice trembled slightly, and she hurriedly said: "Yes, Lord Wang, thank you Lord for reminding me, the daughter of the people is leaving." ”
After saying that, the whole person left as if fleeing for his life.
Su Yijin saw the embarrassment of the two, and she couldn't say how relieved she was, but this King Xuan's mind became more and more elusive. He seems to be helping himself, but why did he deliberately let the prince and the two come in to expose his identity, what purpose did he do this?
"What are you doing here?" Ye Hanxuan glanced at her coldly.
"Huh?" Su Yijin scratched his head blankly, guessing what he just meant? Is it to let yourself serve him?
"If you really want to stay with this king, this king will save your life; If you still have no intention, you can leave here, and this king will not force you to stay. ”
Su Yijin's eyes sparkled, and she immediately said, "Master, I still have a chance to choose?" She never thought that Ye Hanxuan would let herself choose, isn't it that the average ancient prince is very domineering?
Ye Hanxuan's eyes were cold: "This king doesn't have time to talk to you, I'll count one, two, three, if you ......"
Before he finished speaking, Su Yijin quickly rushed out of the cabin and disappeared in front of his eyes.
Ye Hanxuan shook his head, glanced at the tea leaves in the cup, and said lightly: "One day you will be willing to serve tea and water to this king, this king doesn't like strong people, but he likes to obey people." ”
Mi Su glanced at the direction in which Su Yijin was running, and complained: "Master, you are too indulgent to Su Yijin, this girl is too ignorant, you have saved her several times, but she doesn't know how to be grateful." ”
Ye Hanxuan put the teacup in his hand and said: "Only birds with broken wings know how to return to the nest, she is a talent, but not the only talent, look at her well, there are many people who want to kill her." ”
"Yes." Mi Su pursed her lips and said, "Master, Miss Rose's injuries are also very good, I don't know when she will be able to return home?" ”
"What I want is an obedient person, let her stay in the courtyard for a while longer, go back and tell her that you can't think about what you shouldn't think, and you can't do what you shouldn't do, she doesn't have the qualifications yet."
"Yes." Mi Su felt a chill in his heart, his father has always been kind to women, but fortunately he is not a woman.
Su Yijin left the luxurious cruise ship, only to find that the cruise ship had stopped next to the pier, and after going ashore, she was surprised to find that today was the Lantern Festival.
It's a pity that she didn't have time to join in the fun, so she hurriedly rushed to the broken temple to find Zixu, but unexpectedly saw corpses all over the ground, everyone had bruised lips and died violently, and the arrest of the yamen was under martial law at the scene, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter.
"These beggars died so miserably, I heard that they mistakenly believed in the kraken, and they were cursed by the kraken, and they all died violently overnight."
"Isn't the Kraken dead?"
"You don't understand this yet, the Kraken cursed them before they were caught, and after the Kraken died, they went with them, and you said that this Kraken was so ruthless that he didn't even let go of the beggars."
"Then the Kraken will not come to us, I am scared when I hear it. You said that the case of this flower thief is not over yet, and there is another kraken, and he still won't let us live. ”
"Don't worry, Dr. Li said that as long as you haven't been in contact with the Kraken, you'll be fine."
"That's fine, it scared the hell out of me. What about the 'madmen' who have been healed by the Kraken? ”
"I heard that after the Kraken died, those 'madmen' also followed, this Kraken is so ruthless, how can it be possible to let them go? But it's better to die, the family will have less burden, and we won't have to worry about it anymore, those 'crazy people' deserve to die. ”
After hearing this, Su Yijin's heart seemed to be washed by ice and snow, cold from head to foot, and tears stubbornly overflowed from the corners of her eyes. This era is a terrifying era, an era of covering the sky with one hand, no power, human life is like a mustard, just by relying on the word "superstition", you can judge a case, you can kill a person. Because of herself, so many people have lost their lives, "Li Fangsheng", she will always remember these three words, she will not take revenge in this life, and she will not be a person.
After the arrester ordered the beggar's corpse to be piled up and burned, and after cleaning up the bloodstains at the scene, the case was hastily closed, without investigation, without promotion, and even the government officials did not appear, so it was ended in a haphazard manner.
The onlookers seemed to be accustomed to this kind of phenomenon, and when they saw the corpses being burned and the people of the government left, they left indifferently and lived their own small lives.
Su Yijin was afraid of being recognized, so she wiped away her tears and quickly left the scene.
Unexpectedly, a bewitching-looking man suddenly blocked her way, only to see him shake the folding fan and smile: "I just said that you won't die, I really bumped into it today." ”
Su Yijin hurriedly took a step back and looked at him vigilantly, who is this man? How do you know yourself in a tone?
Mu Xiyang patted her head and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, don't look at me so fiercely." ”
Su Yijin patted her head, seriously disgusted by his frivolous behavior, and left immediately.
Mu Xiyang followed closely and said, "Don't be so cool, why did you leave?" With that, he grabbed her arm.
Su Yijin tried to get rid of him, but the other party was a martial arts practitioner, and he used internal force to imprison her arm, and as soon as she exerted a little force, she felt a tingling pain from her arm into her brain, so she had to say helplessly: "Who are you?" What exactly do you want to do? ”
Mu Xiyang saw that she finally stopped resisting, so he let go of her and smiled: "This is good, I just want to invite you to dinner, why do you react so much?" ”
"It's strange that I didn't react when I was pestered by a strange man." Su Yijin gave him a blank look, and then he felt the hunger from the empty stomach.
"What to eat?"
Mu Xiyang was stunned for a moment, this woman's style of speech changed too quickly.
"What do you want to eat?"
Su Yijin's dark eyes turned a few times in his sockets slyly: "Tianyiju." "Don't you want to treat me to dinner? If I don't slaughter you hard, I'll be sorry for the pain I just endured.
"No problem." Mu Xiyang smiled heartily, but looked at her dress with disgust, "It would be better if you dressed up." ”
"If you pay, I don't have a problem." Su Yijin was also very cooperative.
So the two of them visited the most famous silk village in the capital, the most expensive jewelry store, and dressed Su Yijin as a noblewoman, and the two swaggered into the Tianyi Restaurant.
How could the shopkeeper of the restaurant recognize that this noble lady was a beggar who blackmailed him some time ago, and warmly beckoned the two of them to the private seat upstairs for dinner.
After Su Yijin gobbled up the food on the table, she wiped her greasy mouth, leaned back on the chair leisurely, and looked at the man opposite: "Say it." ”
"Say what." Mu Xiyang had to admit that watching her eat was really appetizing.
"You know me?" Su Yijin said tentatively.
Mu Xiyang smiled: "If you know your identity and name, do you know each other?" ”
Sure enough, knowing her, Su Yijin continued: "The meal is also finished, can I go?" ”
She didn't believe that this man would just invite her to dinner, and he was so tattered, and no one would believe him if he treated his sister.
Mu Xiyang nodded, made a farewell gesture, and then looked out the window leisurely, ignoring her.
Su Yijin was even more puzzled, according to the normal plot, she should be down to business after eating, but this man made a simple gesture of inviting her to dinner, there must be a reason.
Su Yijin didn't leave just yet, but asked directly, "Who are you?" There was no such person in the original owner's memory, and she was sure that the original owner did not know him.
Mu Xiyang still looked out the window, shaking his folding fan, and said in a relaxed tone: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that we all know people in common." ”
"Who?"
"Ye Tingchen." The three words have come out, gritting teeth.
"Prince?" Su Yijin hurriedly covered her mouth, afraid that the words blurted out would cause trouble for herself.
"I don't know him well." Su Yijin hurriedly cleared up the relationship, "If you want to take revenge on him, don't come to me." ”
Mu Xiyang turned around at this time, with a sly smile in his eyes: "I know, I don't know him well, so I invited you to dinner." ”
