Before dawn the next day, Xie Yulin left the palace and entered the palace to face the saint.

The emperor's wounds had not yet healed, and his arms were wrapped in gauze and hung from his chest.

He beckoned Xie Yulin to sit down.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come and eat with me. ”

Xie Yulin thanked him, and then sat down at the table.

The emperor took a sip of soup: "You came to the palace early in the morning to look for me, is there anything important?" ”

Xie Yulin: "The younger brother came here for the case of Prime Minister Liu Cheng's rebellion. ”

"Oh?" The emperor asked meaningfully, "Do you also want to intercede for Prime Minister Liu?" ”

"After all, Prime Minister Liu is Concubine Liu's father, and Concubine Liu is the concubine of the imperial brother, Weichen thinks that the imperial brother may look at Concubine Liu's face and leave a way for the Liu family to survive."

Emperor: "The family has family rules, the country has a national law, since Prime Minister Liu Cheng has made a mistake, he must be punished, otherwise what is the use of this national law?" ”

"Prime Minister Liu Cheng is indeed guilty of ten thousand deaths, but the rest of the Liu family are not guilty of death, can the royal brother let them go?"

The emperor put down the silver chopsticks in his hand: "Rebellion is different from other minor crimes, if you can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I am worried that they will be born again in the spring breeze." ”

"But Weichen heard that the imperial brother intends to let the Liu family live."

The emperor smiled lightly: "Who did you listen to?" ”

Xie Yulin: "The younger brother doesn't dare to hide it from the imperial brother, this is actually what Concubine Liu said to the younger brother herself." ”

"You mean, my concubine went to you quietly?"

Xie Yulin stood up and knelt on one knee: "Please forgive the imperial brother, the courtier brother and Concubine Liu Guifei met when they were young, and they used to have some friendship." Later, Liu Guifei married into the palace, and the courtier's brother didn't interact with her anymore, and last night Liu Guifei came to find the courtier's brother in order to intercede for her family. ”

The emperor personally helped him up: "Since you can say it calmly, it means that you are open in your heart, and I believe in you." ”

"Thank you, Brother Huang."

After the two of them sat down again, the emperor continued the previous topic and said slowly: "I did promise Concubine Liu to let the Liu family live, but those words were all used by me to coax her to play. She is just a woman, she doesn't understand the affairs of the court, rebellion is a big crime, and she must be cut off and eradicated, and no one will be left. ”

Xie Yulin bowed his hand: "Brother Chen understands." ”

"Except for you and me, don't tell anyone about this matter, especially Concubine Liu, I don't want to make any more extraneous branches."

"Brother obeys."

Due to King Lin's infirmity, the emperor deliberately dismissed King Lin from the early dynasty and allowed him to ride in a carriage in the palace.

The carriage carrying Xie Yulin passed through many palaces and left the palace smoothly.

Xie Yulin called Ying Qi.

"Where's she?"

Ying Qi replied respectfully, "She's in West City." ”

Xie Yulin: "Go to the West Market." ”

The coachman immediately turned around and drove the carriage to the West Market.

As the most prosperous commercial area in Shengjing City, Xishi is full of shops that open their doors to do business, as well as peddlers and pawns who carry their burdens back and forth, and there are many small stalls selling food scattered on the streets, and the air is filled with the smell of food.

Xie Yulin picked up the corner of the bamboo curtain, and at a glance, he saw the familiar figure in the crowd.

"Stop."

The entourage brought a stool and carefully helped Xie Yulin out of the car.

At this time, it was already late autumn, the weather was getting colder and colder, Xie Yulin was wrapped in a thick fox fur, and his pale and handsome face was shining with a faint glow under the warm sun.

Passers-by rarely saw such a handsome and elegant man, and both men and women, young and old, couldn't help but look at him twice.

Xie Yulin walked into the restaurant next to him, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted him.

"This guest is sitting upstairs."

The entourage who followed Xie Yulin immediately stepped forward and said, "You let the others hurry up, my master will charter the venue today." ”

Then he took out two large silver ingots and threw them to the shopkeeper.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the silver, he immediately smiled with joy, and hurriedly beckoned the distinguished guests to sit upstairs, and asked the men to invite the other guests to leave.

The restaurant has three floors, and Xie Yulin sat down by the window on the third floor.

As soon as he looked down, he could clearly see the scene downstairs through the window.

At this time, downstairs, Ruan Mianmian was setting up a stall to sell Malatang.

She was dressed in a coarse cloth dress, her hair was wrapped in a woman, and her face was red from the heat, like two sweet and delicious red apples.

Because the spicy tang she makes tastes very good and the price is cheap, the diners who come to eat are wave after wave, almost endless, and the business is very prosperous, and she is busy alone.

Xie Yulin's gaze stayed on Ruan Mianmian's body and never left for a moment.

He asked, "How long has she been selling here?" ”

Ying Qi replied respectfully: "She gave all the clothes and jewelry on her body, exchanged it for a hundred taels of silver, bought some ingredients and tables, chairs and boilers, and set up a stall on the street to sell snacks at dawn." ”

"Let people go and redeem everything she took away."

Even if those things are not used, they are also things she has used, and they must not fall into the hands of outsiders.

Shadow Seven responded: "Yes." ”

Ruan Mianmian set up a stall for a day, and Xie Yulin watched the restaurant all day.

It wasn't until the sun went down that Ruan Mianmian closed the stall and went home.

The Shadow Guards followed, and found her place without incident.

"Back to the prince, Mrs. An rented a small courtyard in Ruyi Hutong near Xishi, and it seems that she plans to live for a long time."

Xie Yulin: "Buy all the houses and yards around her, and don't let unclean people get close to her." ”

"Yes."

The next day, Ruan Mianmian went to the West Market to set up a stall to sell Malatang as usual.

Xie Yulin came earlier than her.

Before she arrived in the West Market, he was already sitting by the window of the restaurant.

He looked at the busy figure downstairs, his eyes indescribably gentle.

Ruan Mianmian threw strings of ingredients into the pot to cook, and at the same time muttered to the system in her head: "Sansan, why do I always feel that someone is peeking at me?" ”

System 233: "Who's going to watch you?" ”

"Maybe someone has a crush on me and doesn't dare to tell me, so they hide in the dark and peek at me?!"

System 233 sighed: "You are as narcissistic as your skin. ”

"Humph!"

She served the cooked food to the guests.

System 233: "Do you really plan to sell Malatang until the end of the mission?" ”

Ruan Mianmian: "Otherwise, what else?" I don't dare to get close to the male and female protagonists now, let alone continue to entangle with Xie Yulin, so I can only find a corner to hide and toss with them by themselves, if this task still fails, then I will admit it. ”

System 233 felt that she was passive and slacking off, but after a while, she couldn't find a better way, so she could only go with her.

At this time, three fierce men came to the Malatang stall.

One of the fat men shouted, "Hey, who allowed you to set up a stall here?" ”

Ruan Mianmian didn't know why: "I saw that everyone was setting up stalls here, so I also occupied a position, is there a problem?" ”

Those three people were originally looking for trouble, but when they saw Ruan Mianmian, their vicious expressions suddenly turned into obscene smiles.

"It turns out that you, the little lady, are setting up a stall, you said it earlier, so that the three of us brothers will definitely take care of your business." As he spoke, the fat man reached out and touched Ruan Mianmian's face.
