The woman in red was named Lianyi. She was a distant cousin of Xing Huan, the governor of Funing County, and a confidante. This time, she was specially chosen by Xing Huan to seduce King Pingning and win his favor.
Lianyi had heard of Chu Nanzhi's name a long time ago, and was a little afraid of her at first, but just now she saw that she was so easily fooled by Xing Huan regarding the matter of Xu Jinzhou, the magistrate of Tuyuan County, which showed that she was not a smart woman.
Xing Huan had been exploiting the people in Funing County for a long time and had done many evil things. Along the way, Xu Jinzhou spread many of his bad reputations to the point that officials in other counties had heard about him. Princess Pingning didn't even want to ask more questions, so she just
People go to jail.
What a confused person.
I also learned that Princess Pingning came from the countryside and had little knowledge. It was natural that she had ambitions in her heart.
She wanted to seize the opportunity to enter Prince Binning's palace, hoping to one day take the place of the princess.
Glancing at Chu Nanzhi warmly, she pretended to be attentive and respectful and bowed her body and said: "My slave, Princess Suwen is a hero among women and a leader among my daughters. She does not want to be tied up by the mundane affairs of the family.
, I have admired the princess for a long time, and I am willing to stay in the palace to do the hard work, share the worries of the princess, and take care of your highness."
"Share my worries?"
Chu Nanzhi stared at her with a faint smile.
Such a charming and charming woman, if he really kept her in his house, he would really be troubled.
But at this moment, she really wanted to see what kind of person Lin Jinxiao was, and whether she would be tempted to get close to such a beauty.
It is said that a hero has a hard time with beauty. If a pretty girl is not attracted to such a stunning woman, Princess Yuanxi will be even more unprofitable.
"Go ahead."
Chu Nanzhi's smile gradually turned deep, and she ordered Caiwei to lead the woman in red.
Xing Huan looked at it with even more joy on his face.
The other officials watched the smile on Princess Pingning's face getting weirder and weirder. They kept a wait-and-see attitude and did not dare to come forward to flatter her.
I thought that the person I saw today was King Pingning, so I brought the beauties collected to the house together. I never expected to see the princess.
If resentment arises in this woman's heart, there will be no good fruit to be gained.
Just at this moment, Yin Liuxuan walked in with Tang Weiming, the deputy general manager of the palace, and immediately frowned when he saw the scene in the yard.
Tang Weiming asked his chamberlain to bring some medicinal materials from the palace, walked up to Chu Nanzhi, and said respectfully: "My servant heard that His Highness had a leg problem, and specially ordered the palace's doctor to bring some medicinal materials."
Then his eyes wandered heavily to the group of delicate girls behind him, and he winked with disdain, and said displeasedly: "These blind people dare to offer beauties to Your Highness in front of the Princess. Please let your servants do it for you."
The princess sent these people away."
"Hey, everyone has good intentions, why should Mr. Tang be so impulsive?"
At this time, Chu Nanzhi was only thinking about sending these beauties to Lin Jinqian. Seeing that Yin Liuxuan and Tang Weiming were both here, with unhappy expressions on their faces, she suddenly felt much better. She pretended to be uncomfortable and covered her forehead, pretending to be unwell.
He groaned and said, "I am feeling a little unwell, so Master Lao Yin and Manager Tang will receive you all."
"The princess is pregnant now, so she should rest and not be exhausted."
Tang Weiming was worried and about to help her up.
"I am indeed feeling a little tired these days."
Chu Nanzhi stood up slowly, stared at everyone, and patiently warned Yin Liuxuan and Tang Weiming: "Don't neglect all of your masters."
After saying this, he led Sang Qi straight back to the inner courtyard.
On the way, he met the quadruplets and Liu Yun coming out. Chu Nanzhi asked in surprise: "Why did you four come out if you didn't stay in the east wing?"
"Grandma, let's go see daddy. Is daddy feeling better?"
Dabaolin Ruiwen was the first to answer.
Just now I heard He Ying mentioned that officials from various counties had sent some fox girls to the house to seduce Dad. The little ones were all very angry, but they were also afraid that their mother would think they were out to make trouble, so Dabao made up a random excuse to excuse her.
.
"Well, go ahead."
Chu Nanzhi did not stop him, waved to the little ones, said goodbye to them, and then hid in the backyard.
Well, at this time, I only deserve to be a salty fish who doesn't care about anything.
…
In the inner hall of the main house, Lin Jinxiao was sitting on the edge of the library, clearly hearing the conversation outside the courtyard.
Although Xu Jinzhou, the magistrate of Tuyuan County, was a bit reckless, the temperament of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers was quite to his liking.
Moreover, there was obviously something fishy going on, and he suspected that someone might have misappropriated the disaster relief funds.
My wife is so smart that she shouldn't be able to notice this.
It's just that she sent Xu Jinzhou to jail without any consideration, which puzzled him very much.
After thinking about it, it must be because of the strategy she mentioned in front of her these past two days to protect herself and increase her strength.
Although he has now had the idea of entering Jinling City, he would rather not enter Jinling City if these corrupt officials were to exploit the people without punishing them.
At this time, whenever he thought of the more than 100,000 people in Tuyuan County who were still affected by the disaster, he felt a little uneasy.
Just as he was feeling angry, a woman's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Your Highness, the princess has ordered a slave to bring a doctor to diagnose your highness."
Turning his head to look, Lin Jinxiao immediately scolded him when he saw it was Cai Wei, "Get back."
Caiwei was stunned for a moment, then turned around and retreated hastily.
Lianyi looked at the handsome face beside the library, but for a moment she couldn't move.
Taking another closer look, the well-proportioned profile looks like it has been carefully carved, and the cold charm in the eyebrows is even more enticing.
With such aloofness and aloofness that could repel people thousands of miles away, she sat quietly by the library like a person in a painting, which made her feel happy.
Such a handsome husband, he is also the most distinguished person in the entire Pingning Prefecture and even Jiangnan. Even if he has some leg problems, it does not hinder his admiration for him.
If you can capture his heart, glory and wealth will be right in front of you.
Taking a deep breath, Lianyi twisted her waist charmingly, deliberately suppressing her voice, and called out delicately: "This servant is very worried when he learned that His Highness has an old illness, so he specially asked the princess to come and treat His Highness.
sick."
"Afraid?"
Lin Jinxiao's sinister eyes had a hint of ridicule, and he grinned coldly and said, "You and I have never been together, so why should I make you so anxious?"
"Your Highness's virtuous reputation spreads far and wide. Although I have never seen His Majesty's face, I have been fascinated by Your Highness for a long time. Your Highness is ill, and I am heartbroken."
Lianyi held her breath and stepped forward boldly, walking slightly with her steps showing her charm and coquettishness with every step she took.
But she had just arrived in front of Lin Jinxiao, and before she could try her best to please him, she saw a cold sword touching the white and delicate neck.
Lianyi was so frightened that her whole face turned pale.
"I hate smart people the most in my life. If I hadn't worried about dirtying the princess's house and disturbing the princess, you would have been dead and in a different place by now."
The fierce look in Lin Jinxiao's eyes made Lian Yi frightened and made her legs weak.
"Your Highness, this servant truly wants to serve Your Highness."
As soon as Lianyi's trembling words fell, Lin Jinxiao uttered one word: "Get out."
