His expression was indifferent, sparse and relaxed. Not even a subtle expression.

If Xiao Yanxing doesn't want to be seen through, it will be difficult for others to get a glimpse of his thoughts.

Saying such things at a time when their relationship was heating up, Wang Shu's heart was actually uncomfortable. But the child will soon be born. Once something happens to this child, the bond between her and Xiao Yanxing will arise, and the bond will also arise. Now she can't set the limit soberly at the beginning, and the bond will get deeper and deeper in the future, and she will only be more unable to open her mouth.

Sometimes people need some principles. And sticking to your own principles comes at a cost.

Wang Shu took a deep breath and said calmly: "...... I've been thinking a lot lately. In your heart, where is the royal family and me? Ye now needs the support of the Wang family and is close to me. In the future, if you need the support of others, you will naturally be close to others. I never felt that the Wang family was special, and I would never overestimate my own value. I just hope you don't break your promise. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yanxing's eyes became as sharp as a blade. Wang Shu didn't open his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, he pierced people's hearts.

Obviously, Wang Shu guessed his thoughts.

From beginning to end, Xiao Yanxing never thought about letting Wang Shu go.

I originally promised Wang Shu something, but it was an expedient measure. As he felt more and more joy and a sense of belonging from Wang Shu during this time, the commitment became more and more insignificant. Xiao Yanxing is indeed a person who keeps his promises, and he is indeed true to his word. But at the same time, he is not an old-fashioned temperament. Words are dead, but men are alive. There will always be ways to fail to keep commitments.

Now that Wang Shu is keen to draw boundaries at the beginning, Xiao Yanxing is annoyed and relieved at the same time. Shu'er is really different.

"Shu'er, you like me, don't you?"

"Yes." Wang Shu does not deny this matter, and has always admitted frankly, "But, so what? ”

"Do you suddenly snub me because you realize that if you don't draw a clear line, you will indulge in me?"

Wang Shu's breath stagnated, and she suddenly raised her eyes and glared at him.

Xiao Yanxing keenly caught the subtle changes in the expression on her face, the light under her eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly. The pleasure in his eyes that was slowly hidden by his eyelashes became even lighter: "It's too early to say this......"

"Not early." Wang Shu simply interrupted neatly: "You also know that I have always been able to tell what I want. ”

All hearts are greedy. The more you get, the more greedy you become. Now she just likes it, she doesn't love it deeply, and she can respond very decisively. In the future, the relationship will become deeper and the bonds will become more, and her decisions will become hesitant and forward-looking.

Similarly, Xiao Yanxing is the same.

He has been in a high position since he was a child, and he has been the prince of a country since he was born. There is no such thing as letting go for anyone in his life dictionary. Wang Shu does not think highly of herself, but considers basic human nature. In the future, the relationship between the two will become deeper, and Xiao Yanxing, a domineering person in his bones, will most likely not let go. And the position he is in is destined to be the only one by his side in the future, and she can only be the one who compromises in the end.

Wang Shu was not convinced, and she was unwilling to do so. She is doing her experiments in a good way and waiting for Wang Xuanzhi to take over, why should she give up everything for a man. It's not her, she doesn't accept this outcome.

Wang Shu also understands that she is actually a high spirit, and she can't change her high temperament in her bones for several lifetimes.

"Shu'er, there are some things that can't be taken too seriously. You and I are mortals, and no one knows what the future holds. You insist on asking me to give you a promise that you will never break the contract, which is a little too strong for a few people......"

"Why not?" Wang Shu looked up at him, "If people have gains, they will give up." I want to be free, and I give up some things. ”

Xiao Yanxing's breath went straight to his throat. The thinning jaw slowly tightened, and Xiao Yanxing's eyes staring at Wang Shu slowly sharpened. Wang Shu's words naturally he will not understand, the so-called gain must be given up is to abandon him.

At this moment, Xiao Yanxing's heart seemed to be clenched by a hand. The clenching was tight, and the breathing was stuffy and uncomfortable.

He looked at the woman in front of him almost in shock, with a strong sense of scrutiny.

As the concubine of the middle palace, Xiao Yanxing has never experienced such embarrassment in the twenty-three years of his life. The women in this world who are willing to live for him and die for him are like carp crossing the river. For the first time, he lowered his body to mingle with a woman. Not for fame, not for wealth, just for this woman to stay with him willingly. But I didn't expect to be abandoned so easily.

Xiao Yanxing is also an extremely arrogant person in nature, and the arrogance in his bones makes him despise dogma, despise his incompetent father, and look down on all the women who have been domesticated in the world. The mind was rejected so coldly, and Xiao Yanxing's heart was unbearable no matter how calm his heart was.

“…… That's why you're cold? ”

Wang Shu's heart tightened, but he still nodded with a stiff neck: "Yes." ”

"You don't plan to stay with me for a long time, and now all kinds of things, is it just a void and a snake?" Xiao Yanxing pulled the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically.

Wang Shu instantly raised her head and looked at him.

Looking at each other, Xiao Yanxing didn't have a trace of a smile in his eyes: "Isn't it?" ”

"Master, you can't speak so arbitrarily." She just wanted to reiterate her promise, not to arbitrarily deny everything, "I don't want to enter the palace, it doesn't mean that these days with the master are empty and wronged." Just like I like you, it doesn't mean that I'm willing to be jealous of other female relatives for you for the rest of my life. ”

As soon as the words fell, the courtyard fell silent.

Xiao Yanxing stared at Wang Shu, and after a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "So...... You mean, you want to monopolize me? ”

Wang Shu choked in her throat, and her eyes widened.

"Isn't it?"

"Yes!"

When it comes to this, Wang Shu does not evade the question: "My pride has decided, I will not share my husband with anyone." ”

Xiao Yanxing had just been beaten with a stick, and he was fed another sweet date. There was a strange feeling in his heart, like sweet and sour, very strange. But at the same time, Xiao Yanxing also knew very well that this matter was almost impossible: "Shu'er, you are very greedy......"

"Yes, I know." Wang Shu broke the jar and fell, "So you're not suitable for me." ”

Before he could taste this mouthful of candy, Xiao Yanxing was beaten again. He stared at Wang Shu with a cold face.

Wang Shu took a deep breath and took this opportunity to say all the things that should be said: "Xiao Yanxing, you are not suitable for me. If it weren't for Mao's bad intentions, I would have entered your backyard in a daze. Then you and I have no chance at all. In this way, I may have put some money on myself, but it is true, I will not let myself become anyone's concubine. Even if it's you, I won't. ”

Xiao Yanxing's eyes were gloomy, and he bent down slightly, staring at Wang Shu's face with burning eyes.

“…… Do you really want this result? ”

Wang Shu pursed her lips, "I just want this promise to be fulfilled in the future." ”

After a long time, he slowly stood up straight, and his voice was as cold as the wind under the eaves: "If this is what you want, satisfy you." ”

With that, he turned away angrily.

Xiao Yanxing came and went fast.

Jiang Mama and the others are still waiting for the two masters to reconcile. After all, the master is willing to come over, and he is already showing goodwill to Wang Shu, as long as his master can hand over a step, everything will return to normal. As a result, she waited for a long time, only waiting for the news of the master's departure.

At the moment, I felt strange, so I put down the work at hand and hurried over.

Mama Jiang saw Wang Shu standing in the court with a bad face, and her face turned white with fright. Hurry over and help her.

She helped Wang Shu to walk into the house, and looked around. I didn't see Xiao Yanxing's figure, so I opened my mouth. wanted to ask something, but saw Wang Shu's indifference that he didn't want to speak, and swallowed back the doubts in his stomach.

"Let's go, go back to the house and rest for a while."

Wang Shu squeezed her cold hand, spit out a sullen breath towards the sky, and said nothing else.

Xiao Yanxing had never been so angry, both angry and uncomfortable, and a breathless suffocation hovered in his chest. With a cold face, he asked the coachman to hurry up the carriage, and instead of returning to Xiao's house, he went to the temple alone at the end of the year.

When the people entered the temple wing, the guards who were so frightened that they could rest for two days immediately returned to their posts.

"Master......" watched the whole process, and Mo Sui, who was arguing, almost stopped in fright. He was as quiet as a chicken on the way, and he didn't even dare to breathe. I was afraid that I would be angry because I was breathing too loudly, and I was driven off the carriage.

At this time, he quietly stretched out his head and stretched out his head outside, and asked cautiously: "But do you want Master Zhao to prepare food?" ”

To be honest, Mo Sui has never seen such a fierce person as Wang Shu since he followed Xiao Yanxing. plucked the master's sincerity as a bubble and was not chopped up by the fierce master to feed the dog, Wang Xiaojun is the only one in heaven and earth. sighed in his heart, and Mo Sui also scratched his head in annoyance. The two masters of honey and oil suddenly became like this, Wang Xiaojun didn't give his master face, and he didn't know what to do in the future.

"Get out!"

There was a scolding from inside, and Mo Sui rolled away.

Xiao Yanxing turned the paperwork out again, and many things had not yet been dealt with. Originally, I planned to accompany Wang Shu for two days, and I didn't have to rest at this time. He looked at the letter in the capital and the documents presented below with a cold face, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became.

Putting the pen on the table with a snap, he couldn't help but sneer, that Nizi thought he couldn't do without her?

There are many women in the world, and there are many people in the back house waiting for him. Since she didn't want it, he could save it!

The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Yanxing took the time to meet Ayatoyu.

According to the clues provided by Ayarenyu, they searched for melons and melons, and finally found the half-crippled and half-blind Zhu Deyong in the Lingnan penal colony. When he found him, he was begging on the street with one leg lame, and his clothes were ragged, and he had long lost the spirit of a scholar. The winter in the south is not as cold as in the north, but it is also very wet and cold. Zhu Deyong has no fixed place to live, and can only live in a dilapidated temple.

This Zhu Deyong estimated that he was killed too badly, and Zhu Deyong's defense was very heavy. Xiao Yanxing's people almost turned Lingnan over before they blocked him.

I don't want to open my mouth when it's blocked, and I don't want to explain anything if I pretend to be stupid. It took a lot of effort for Xiao Yanxing's people to force Zhu Deyong to believe that the person who came was the person who abolished the prince, and then they pried his mouth open.

The corruption case seven years ago began with a murder case.

Nine years ago, a farmer in Quzhou sued Li Wenxi, the son of a local salt merchant, for raping and killing his daughter. The human and material evidence was complete, and as a result, the son of the defendant salt merchant not only did not receive the punishment he deserved, but left the government with a swagger. Turning his head and taking advantage of the middle of the night, a fire burned down the farmer's family. The farmer's family of six died in their sleep in the fire. Only a lonely widow who got up at night to go to the toilet escaped.

After this experience, the family died only the lame old lady of the farmer's household.

The lame old woman begged all the way and traveled thousands of miles from Quzhou to the capital. Rather the nail board also sounded the drum, suing the local county officials for disregarding people's lives, being unkind and unjust to the officials, and allowing rich people to spend money to buy heads.

As soon as this case broke out, it caused an uproar. At that time, Xiao Yanxing heard about this and went to investigate it in person.

At that time, the official involved in the case, Zhu Deyong, the county magistrate of Luyue County, a subordinate of Quzhou, was immediately suspended for investigation.

Xiao Yanxing took a group of people from Dali Temple to Quzhou, and was surprised after a thorough investigation.

During his tenure in office, Zhu Deyong, the county magistrate of Luyue County, not only formulated the rules of 'spending money to buy heads'. In order to make money, even the audacity of the merchants tailor-made the 'protection fee policy' for the merchants. For each business, in addition to the commercial tax, a 40% 'protection fee' is also raised. This forcible robbery made the merchants in Luyue County miserable.

The list of crimes committed during his six-year tenure is too numerous to mention.

At that time, Xiao Yanxing felt strange, Quzhou was not too far from the capital, and there was a little wind and grass, so there would be no wind at all. This Zhu Deyong tossed such a ridiculous big movement from a small county order, and it was impossible for the above to know nothing.

When he touched the melon, he touched the head of Zhu Yue, the secretary of the ministry. This Zhu Deyong is not an outsider, and has an inseparable relationship with the Zhu family in Quzhou.

This person's details do not stand up to scrutiny. You only need to go to Quzhou once in person to see it all.

County official Zhu Deyong, whose real name is Zhu Hui, was twenty-three years old and suddenly changed his name to Zhu Deyong under the guidance of the master. He is the nephew of Zhu Yue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Quzhou people call the second room of the Zhu family a single seedling. There is no ink in the belly, and when he was young, he bullied men and women in the township, which was a disaster. Suddenly, one day, he turned into a lifter. Through the operation of the elders in the family, he fished out a seven-grade sesame official.

This is obviously boring, so Xiao Yanxing went to look through Zhu Deyong's examination papers again. Something was wrong right away.

The handwriting is different, and the writing is not similar. Zhu Deyong, who took the imperial examination, is too different from Zhu Deyong, who is an official. Zhu Deyong, who is an official, is impetuous and full of fat, but this article can be seen in the wind and bones, and the perseverance and simplicity of the person who wrote the paper can be seen between the lines. Although the words and sentences of the article are not gorgeous enough, it can be seen that he is a person who is based on his feet.

Obviously, two people, it can't be one person. If such a result occurs, it is either a proxy test or fraud.

But upon closer inspection, there is nothing left of the clues. If someone else came to investigate, this case would not have been found at all. But unfortunately, Zhu Deyong met Xiao Yanxing. Xiao Yanxing wants to investigate, and there is no one who can't find out.

It took two months like this, and it really involved a fraudulent answer. Zhu Deyong, a poor student, studied hard for ten years, and once he was in high school, he was impersonated by the son of a high-ranking official. I don't know if I don't pull this line, but when I pull it, I know that the water in it is staggeringly deep, and it directly pulls out more than a dozen people involved in the fraud of the imperial examination ten years ago. If this is punished by the imperial court, the people involved will be widespread.

At that time, Xiao Yanxing was still young, and his methods were too ruthless, forcing some people to jump off the wall in a hurry.

As soon as the Zhu Deyong case broke out, forces from all sides became sensational.

This is exactly what the emperor wants. He was already preparing to charge Xiao Yanxing with a crime, so that he could not turn over in one fell swoop. The ready-made ladder was handed down, and he allowed this group of people to falsely accuse the prince of conniving at the corruption of the auxiliary ministers around him......

The piles and piles here are a mess.

Not to mention anything else, Zhu Deyong, who was replaced, also sued the Zhu family when he found out that his fame had been replaced. It's just that he didn't get the justice he wanted, and he was imprisoned in a dungeon.

Many years ago, if he hadn't been vigilant, I am afraid that he would have died in the dungeon of the official mansion.

He bribed the jailers guarding the dungeon and escaped before the Zhu family could attack him.

However, he did not escape persecution after that.

Zhu Deyong's family was killed overnight. The fathers and uncles who tightened their belts to allow him to study were all dead, and the village chief in the village also removed the family. Realizing that something was wrong, he fled Quzhou that night. As a result, on the way to escape, someone broke one leg and stabbed one eye blind. Zhu Deyong relied on the ruthlessness of letting these people pay for their lives, and survived in this world.

Knowing that the person who came to him was the prince, Zhu Deyong burst into tears. knelt on the ground and begged General Ouyang to let these people pay for their lives.

Xiao Yanxing's people brought him back to Liangzhou, and it took some time. Now they are living in another place, in a farm in a village under Lin'an County. The situation in the capital is not clear, so we can only wait patiently for Dali Temple to find out the fraud case and then send people out.
