Chapter 36: Never Reasonable
This voice was soft and delicate, with the unique delicacy of a girl, which was completely different from Xue Ru's softness.
Prince Nan'an felt as if his scalp had exploded and turned around suddenly.
But he saw Xu Yin holding the handle and standing at the top of the stairs, looking at him with a half-smile.
Although the fourteen-year-old girl is not short in stature, she looks very thin. Because she went out in the middle of the night, she also wore a thin cloak, and a circle of beads surrounded her childish face, which made her look somewhat delicate.
.
The Prince of Nan'an County has always known that Xu Huan raised his daughters with tenderness. If it were him, he would hold these two immortal daughters in his hands and not be willing to bear their hardships at all.
However, at this moment, looking at this delicate little girl, Prince Nan'an's first feeling was fear.
Why is she here? Where is Xue Ru?
"You..." Prince Nan'an forced a smile, "It turns out to be Miss Xu San. It's so late, why are you still out?"
Xu Yin walked in slowly and looked at the room.
The light red curtains are stacked layer by layer, creating a fragrant and charming atmosphere. There is a sweet fragrance lingering in the room, which makes people think more.
"Don't you know why I'm here, Your Majesty?" Xu Yin looked at him, "Miss Xue was taken away by me, doesn't Your Majesty want to know where she is?"
How could Prince Nan'an not want to know? He just couldn't ask.
He knew very well what Xu Yin's appearance here at this time meant.
Their collusion with Fang Yi was exposed. Yesterday she forced Xue Ru to shave her head. It was not because of a temper tantrum, but because she did it deliberately.
But he can't panic now. The more he panics, the more likely something will happen.
Thinking like this, Prince Nan'an replied calmly: "Miss Xu San misunderstood, I just came to listen to her sing a few songs, and I have no other personal feelings."
He only talked about the incident yesterday where she forced Xue Ru to be tonsured, and did not mention Fang Yi at all. This was to clear things up.
Xu Yin laughed and said: "My lord, do you think that the person behind Miss Xue is very powerful? We may not have found anything, and we just came here to deliberately deceive you?"
Prince Nan'an's expression moved slightly, obviously he was right.
For so many years, he, a county prince, had been suppressed to death. In his own fiefdom, he could only look at the face of the governor. But as soon as Xue Ru came, within a few months, Xu Huan lay down, and Nan Yuan was about to change.
host.
How could something happen to her so easily if she was so powerful? Even if she was caught, someone would come to rescue her.
On the contrary, there is no one in charge of the governor's office, and Xu Yin, a little girl who used to just play around, shows how embarrassed he is.
Therefore, the Prince of Nan'an County felt that even if the governor's office found Xue Ru, it would be impossible to keep her. They would probably stay here to find out the accomplices, and he would just have to refuse to admit it.
"Miss Xu San is overthinking. I am just here to take a look. After all, she will offend you because of the princess. If she is really forced to be tonsured, I will be uneasy."
Seeing his performance, Xu Yin couldn't help but clapped his hands in admiration: "Your Majesty is so calm. We have been in Nanyuan for so many years. In the past, I always looked timid and fearful. It turned out to be all a lie."
After saying that, her face tightened, her appearance immediately changed, and she said coldly: "It's a pity that the prince has thought wrong! Do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't admit it? The prince doesn't even think about it. When did I, Xu San, ever be reasonable?
?It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it, I think so! Come here!”
The stairs made a rapid "thump, thump, thump" sound, and Wei Jun led people up.
"Third Miss."
Xu Yin glanced lightly, with a cold and arrogant expression: "Take him down!"
"You..." Prince Nan'an's expression finally changed. He knew how overbearing Miss Xu San was. She could always be a child making nonsense, but her father had the final say on business matters. Unexpectedly, now that her father was lying down, she could not even do business matters.
They started fooling around together.
Seeing that the guards of the Governor's Mansion really listened to her words and came up to take someone away, Prince Nan'an said hurriedly, "Miss Xu San, this is not a trivial matter. You can't do anything wrong. If you want to doubt me, you can wait until your father wakes up and tell him
.I am the king of the county, how can I arrest him whenever he wants?"
Xu Yin sneered: "Is this the first day that the prince has met me? I'm just messing around like this, how do you treat me?"
After that, she scolded the guards: "What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear me telling you to arrest someone?"
"Yes." Without any further hesitation, Wei Jun led the people and restrained Prince Nan'an.
The prince of Nan'an County was furious. Xu Huan just let it go. He couldn't play with others and accepted his fate as a coward. Now even his daughter is doing this? It's simply too much!
"Come here! Come here!" He shouted loudly. Xu Yin was not the only one with a guard, he also had one.
But after calling several times, there was no movement downstairs.
Xu Yin looked at him mockingly: "I praised the prince just now, why have I lost my mind now? I came up, but your guards didn't warn me. I knew something was wrong."
The Prince of Nan'an County looked ugly. His hands were twisted by the guards of the Xu family. He no longer cared about his grace and scolded: "You are a little girl, how can you be so unreasonable? You can make the decision casually in such a matter? Wait until your father wakes up.
Come on, let’s see how he scolds you!”
Seeing that Xu Yin was unmoved, he took a break, softened his tone, and persuaded sincerely: "Miss Xu San, this matter cannot be played for fun. Your father has been ill for these days, and Nanyuan's heart is now
Panic, please stop causing trouble!"
Unfortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from downstairs: "Who said the third lady is causing trouble?"
Under the glare of Nan'an County Prince, Ji Jing stepped up and said: "Your Majesty, I want to correct you on two things. First, no one in Nanyuan is panic-stricken. We all perform our duties and wait for the adults to wake up. The other is
Second, during your absence, Miss Third will inherit her father’s responsibilities, and everything she says regarding Nanyuan will be true!"
The Prince of Nan'an County was in disbelief and blurted out: "Are you crazy? You actually asked a little girl without a hairpin to take charge of the military affairs of Nanyuan?"
Ji Jing's expression was as usual and he said unceremoniously: "Yes! We would rather listen to the third lady than take refuge in the prince. Are you disappointed?"
He said with a bit of harshness: "Your Majesty has been the king of the county for more than ten years, and he must have forgotten his origins. If it weren't for Your Majesty's kindness, you would still be making a living in the house of your father-in-law, who is a minor official. If you are not good at literature, you can't be good at martial arts.
Apart from the surname Gao, what else do you have? You dare to dream of taking charge of Nanyuan."
Xu Yin said he would arrest him. Prince Nan'an was just angry, but Ji Jing expressed his attitude like this. He couldn't control it. He only felt his ears buzzing, and all the blood in his body rushed to the top of his head. He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Ji Jing"
Sutra! This king is the direct grandson of the late emperor and a noble man in the sky. How can I allow you to be insulted by a servant like you——"
"The late Emperor has demoted you to a commoner. Do you need me to recite the imperial edict again?" Ji Jing looked at him mockingly.
Prince Nan'an's lips trembled, but he did not dare to continue.
When his family was deposed, the late emperor was very angry, and the words written in the imperial edict were naturally unpleasant. If he really read them out, he would not even have the last fig leaf.
Seeing that he gave up, Ji Jing smiled contemptuously and turned to Xu Yin for instructions: "Third Miss, how should we deal with the Prince of Nan'an County?"
