Chapter 506: The Price

That being said, Ren Yi has been holding the box in both hands, and at first glance, he has indeed been "flattered".

The weight of the first emperor in Ren Yi's heart can be seen.

Xia Qingyang: "Your Highness, can I take a look?" ”

Even if Xia Qingyang proposed to take a look at this mirror, Ren Yi hesitated.

"The carriage is shaking, and you should be careful not to bump into it."

After handing the box to Xia Qingyang, Ren Yi was still sighing, "I have also heard of this mirror. It was presented to my father by Dongyuan Kingdom many years ago, when other countries were still making pilgrimages to our country. It is said that the mirror surface was made of extremely rare materials, and it was much clearer than a hand-polished mirror, and many important ministers wanted it at the time. Unexpectedly, in the end, it actually fell into the hands of Fan Xi. ”

Xia Qingyang's hand was very steady, and after opening the box, he found that this mirror was indeed special.

The shape is somewhat like a woman's makeup mirror, with a handle under it, and the handle should be made of precious metals such as silver, and the mirror surface is clear and reflective, almost close to the glass mirror of modern technology.

Xia Qingyang carefully held the silver handle and took out the mirror, wanting to take a closer look at the pattern on it.

But before I had time to take a closer look, I heard Lao Xu, who was sitting in the lower seat, sigh.

"This Fan Xi, so bold, the treasure mirror given to him by the emperor, he didn't take good care of it, and made the handle look like this!"

Ren Yi and Xia Qingyang were stunned at the same time, and when they turned it over, it was as if the end of the handle had been violently bumped, and it was concave in several places, and the dents were extremely irregular.

I can't see it when I hold it upright, but when I turn it over and take a closer look, it's obviously ugly.

At this time, the carriage jolted, and Xia Qingyang hurriedly put the mirror back into the box with flannel cushion to avoid secondary injury.

"Your Highness, don't be bought by Fan Xi like this, you don't care about your deeds, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he doesn't have enough respect for this action!"

Ren Yi was silent for a moment: "No matter the traces of the heart, no one is perfect on the merits." Lao Xu, don't say it again. ”

"But Your Highness ......"

Old Xu was anxious, thinking that Ren Yi was standing on Fan Xi's side.

But Xia Qingyang saw that Ren Yi should also have some other thoughts about this too tragic handle.

This level of dent does not look like it was caused by a bump, but rather it looks like it was made on purpose.

Also, the shank and mirror are intact, and it can even be seen that it has been carefully wiped and maintained, how can only the shank become like this.

Xia Qingyang pondered for a long time without success, but when she looked up, she found that Ren Yi was also looking at her.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both knew what they were thinking about each other.

-

At this moment, the City Lord's Mansion of Vena City.

Fan Xi still sat at his desk as he did that night. It's just that this time, he removed the screen, so that the city lord's wife, who had just finished drinking the medicine and was lying down, could see him at a glance whenever she opened her eyes.

"Brother Jin." The city lord's wife shouted softly.

Fan Xi immediately put down his pen and walked over: "What's wrong, Susu." ”

Fan Jin was Fan Xi's name when he first joined the company, and it was later changed to Fan Xi. Therefore, his wife is still accustomed to calling him Brother Jin when no one is around.

"Brother Jin." The city lord's wife read again, and then slowly opened her eyes, "What price did you promise to others to save me this time?" ”

Fan Xi was stunned: "Su Su ......"

"Do you think I don't know anything?" The city lord's wife stretched out her hand, and waited for Fan Xi to come over to help her before she sat up and said in a hoarse voice, "I know what you did ten years ago, and what happened a year ago...... cough, cough, cough...... I know, what is the reason why you married Yue'er into the right prime minister's family......"

"Good vegetarian, don't talk about it yet, I'll go pour you some water."

Fan Xi didn't care about the surprise of the secret exposure, he was anxious to pour water for her, but she grabbed him.

"I'm not complaining about you." The City Lord's Lady took a few deep breaths, "Ten years ago, you made a mistake to protect me and Yue'er, and the same will be true ten years later. I'm the least qualified to blame you. But、But you also have to remember that you are the parent official of the Great Chunguo。 'As an official, you must sit upright and not let the people poke your backbone', isn't that what you said to me when you first joined the office? ”

When these words fell on Fan Xi's ears, it was like a thunderbolt that struck him.

He was dumb for a long time and couldn't say a word.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ But actually, I'm also cowardly. After a long pause, the city lord's wife smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, I won't pretend that I don't know for ten years, and let you carry a lot alone." ”

"Don't say that." Fan Xi was almost made to cry by his wife's heartfelt words, he leaned over and hugged her, and kept saying apologies and explanations, "I am the cowardly person, and I am the wrong person, but I, I really don't know what to do...... In that case, is it the right choice for our family to die in vain??? However, even if we die, those secrets will still be suppressed by other 'Wang Xi' and 'Li Xi', and our death will be meaningless, and it will not even be known to the world......

The city lord's wife patted Fan Xi on the back. After a long time, Fan Xi straightened up to relieve his emotions, and the city lord's wife took out something from under the pillow.

"Brother Jin, look at this."

What the city lord's wife held in her hand was a small rattle.

Yes, this is the rattle that their daughter Juanjuan drew the "Tiger Protects Small Animals" diagram.

I was bumped into by Ren Yi before.

Mrs. City Lord: "Juanjuan just gave it to me, saying that you are so busy these days, she can't find you, so let me pass it on to you." ”

Fan Xi took the rattle and shook it gently, and the drum surface was hammered out with a crisp bang. The little tiger on the drum surface vibrated slightly, as if it was really roaring in the mountains.

Fan Xi's shoulders suddenly shrugged down: "Su Su, you say, the eldest princess, can she make the people live a good life." ”

"Well, I've just heard people say something about the past two days. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess loves the people like a son, and she is very courageous, if she is not a woman, she must be able to achieve great things. ”

Fan Xi nodded, sat down, sighed deeply, and unconsciously shook the rattle in his hand.

That's good, that's good.

Even the lady said so, that should be possible.

Although, ten years ago, Ren Fu was also coaxed by such a self-proclaimed "Chenghong Dao Chief" who knew immortal arts, causing the people of Dachun to have a bad life.

But the man with a hat called "Qingyang Jushi" next to Ren Yi seems to be different.

…… Of course, even if the Qingyang monk had any two hearts, Fan Xi couldn't help it.

He has done what he can.

Next, let the Qingyang monk fight with the Chenghong Dao long fight.

He just wants to spend the rest of his life with his wife and daughter in peace.

That's enough.

-

However, the sky is unpredictable. Sometimes no one can predict what will happen in the next moment.

When Xia Qingyang heard the news that "the city lord of Luoshu City was assassinated in the mansion and his whole family died", they and his party were resting in a small county town.
