Chapter Eighty-Seven: Nostalgia for the Grass of Return
"The slave doesn't know." Mrs. Zhiqi said softly, she always looks like this, just plainly recounting what she saw with her own eyes, not guessing, and leaving all doubts to others to judge.
Because every word she says must be responsible, not only about her but also about the people she talks about, in Mrs. Zhiqi's opinion, it is not possible to make conclusions about people, and the slightest mistake will bring disaster to people.
"You don't know? So what do you do with the queen mother? Ximen Che walked into the house, he had already heard the conversation between Mrs. Zhiqi and Jiang Ziyin, and knew about Lin Xin'er's situation in the Xuan Palace.
Lin Xin'er's injury was not serious, which made him feel slightly relieved, but when he heard that Lin Xin'er had been driven to live in a side hospital, he became worried. Zhiqi didn't say why Lin Xin'er was kicked out of the Plum Blossom Court, and he didn't know what Lin Xin'er's situation was at this time, let alone how to tell the imperial uncle to show mercy to Lin Xin'er's subordinates.
"Zhiqi just told Bengong what she knew, what judgment is your own business, Chen Rufeng is your person, his death is your loss, others don't care, how can you not care? There are some things that you can't always rely on Uncle Huang to help you, and you have to solve them yourself. Jiang Ziyin said.
"What kind of judgment can you make, you can't link things to Lin Xin'er, what can Lin Xin'er do, a woman with unhealthy legs and feet? If it weren't for Prince Ben, she would have been beaten to death like Shui Qing. ”
Jiang Ziyin originally thought that Ximen Che's annoyance with Zhiqi was because she replied that she didn't know, but it turned out that this was not the case, Ximen Che really blamed Zhiqi because her words made people connect to the death of Lin Xin'er and Chen Rufeng, Ximen Che is defending Lin Xin'er?
Jiang Ziyin was surprised, looking at Ximen Che as if he didn't know her son, "What did you say?" Why did Lin Xin'er get beaten and it happened to you again? ”
Ximen Che knew that he had lost his mouth, and said that he had revealed his mouth, but he wanted to have nothing to hide from his mother, Zhiqi was the queen mother's person, so he naturally knew the proportions of speaking, so he simply told the truth, "Don't hide it from the queen mother, the reason why Lin Xin'er can withstand the thirty boards is because I asked the third emperor brother for his knee pads, and I helped Lin Xin'er pad, so I was able to fight a little because I had protection." ”
"What did you say?" Jiang Ziyin's color changed when she heard this, this was another violation of the holy decree, and she looked at her son dumbfounded, if he hadn't said it himself, she wouldn't believe that it would be Ximen Che who saved Lin Xin'er, the person who had just humiliated Lin Xin'er not long ago.
"Nothing." Simon Che said, "I don't think the queen mother and Mrs. Zhiqi will say it, right?" ”
Zhiqi also knew that this matter was not trivial, and looked at Ximen Che and nodded lightly, and his heart was also the same surprise as Jiang Ziyin.
"Why?" Jiang Ziyin couldn't figure it out, Ximen Che's desperate refusal to marry was very in line with his behavior, but he suddenly turned around to rescue Lin Xin'er, it was too unbelievable for him to do this!
"I just don't think Lin Xin'er can die so cheaply." Ximen Che's mind turned a corner now, and he didn't say that he liked Lin Xin'er, as the prince, he also had his arrogance, and he couldn't let people know that he regretted it, no matter how good Lin Xin'er was in his eyes, in the eyes of outsiders, it was a nostalgic move to look back.
Simon Che thinks that refusing to marry can show the domineering of being a prince, but nostalgia for turning back will damage the image of the prince, no matter how bad he is, he also knows that he must maintain an image as a prince. What's more, how could he let Uncle Huang know that it was clear that Lin Xin'er was thrown to Uncle Huang by him at the beginning, and now he has thoughts about her that he shouldn't have?
Hearing Ximen Che's answer, Jiang Ziyin sighed, and she said that her son would not do anything out of the ordinary, not to mention that the woman was still a cripple abandoned by him, could it still make the prince regret it?
It turned out that she was still holding a grudge against Lin Xin'er and wanted to give her more hardships.
Jiang Ziyin shook her head gently, she really didn't know when her son would become a real person who stood up to the sky, and he wouldn't care about those trivial things that were not worth mentioning.
"From this point of view, Chen Rufeng's death is not suspicious, he wanted to assassinate Lin Xin'er in the palace, but he was found to be misconducted, and he knew that he was not guaranteed to be in the evening, and it was possible to hang himself if he couldn't figure it out for a while." Jiang Ziyin thought about Chen Rufeng again, and always felt sorry for his death, I wonder if the newly appointed Shangshu will still have the same heart as the prince?
"If you dare to make a small move in front of your father, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not do anything to your sons in the future, even if such a person is beneficial to the prince's mansion now, it is not available." Ximen Che said, as long as there is an imperial uncle by his side, he can win the battle, Chen Rufeng is dead, and Lin Xin'er will have one less enemy.
Jiang Ziyin nodded, Ximen Che's words were still like a prince, with the decisiveness of executing major events. If she knew that what Ximen Che was thinking about was still from Lin Xin'er's side, and she was still relying on the imperial uncle who was not much older than him, she would definitely be speechless in anger.
"Zhiqi, this palace knows that you are honest, and then I will explain to you, you just need to know what the prince said today." Jiang Ziyin deliberately emphasized Zhiqi again.
"Yes, slave understands." Mrs. Zhiqi replied with her head bowed, although she is the wife of King Xuan's mansion, she has always called herself a slave in front of the queen and the prince, and she still follows the rules of the palace maid, and she does her duty.
This kind of Zhiqi is even more pleasing to the queen, if it weren't for Lin Xin'er, Jiang Ziyin would have thought about asking the emperor to canonize Zhiqi as Princess Xuan, so that her relationship with Xuanwangfu would be closer. Although Ximen Jingxuan was brought up by her, she also knew that Ximen Jingxuan was grateful to her, but today, who doesn't want to get closer to King Xuan?
"It's a pity that Chen Rufeng died like this." In the nameless mansion in the capital, it was still the man in the tall blue shirt, sitting in the courtyard with his back to the gate, taking a sip of tea and playing with the tea cup with half a cup of tea in his hand, and said in a playful tone.
"It's very strange that when something happened in the palace, the prince didn't come forward to defend Chen Rufeng, according to the prince's temperament, he shouldn't ignore Chen Rufeng, and even have the suspicion of falling into the well between his words." Standing behind the man, Ruthless said with some doubts.
"You don't know the reason for this, the prince's attitude towards Lin Xin'er has changed completely, and his words are all considered from Lin Xin'er." The man's lips curled in a curvature.
"Is that so?" Ruthless was a little surprised.
"I didn't expect the appearance of a Lin Xin'er to make things in the palace more and more interesting." As if commenting on a play, the man took a sip of tea with interest.
