Sheng Hong's eyes flashed and he lowered his voice and said, "Mingxi, do you mean to use this to get rid of Sheng Xuan in advance?"
"That's right!"
A cold light flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes: "The origin of the crossbows is suspicious, and no one can get close to the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War. It is not easy to get three crossbows from the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War without anyone knowing!"
"The fourth prince has only been in the military department for a short period of time, and there are not many available people. He is suspicious by nature and will not let others know about this matter easily. This matter must be related to Shengxuan."
"The escape of Aunt Ding and Xie Yuanting from the farm was also done by Sheng Xuan."
"Sheng Xuan is a man who is insidious and vicious, and is a great help to the fourth prince. If he is left here, he will become a trouble in the future. Now is a great opportunity to get rid of him!"
Sheng Hong also hated Sheng Xuan. After hearing this, he immediately said: "I also have the same idea. Therefore, when I went to the palace to pay my respects the day before yesterday, I deliberately suggested that the fourth prince conduct a thorough inspection of the Ministry of War. A month later, he will give an explanation to his father! Definitely.
We have to find a way to find someone to take all the blame."
"This plan is to force him to cut off his arm and push Shengxu out to take the blame!"
"You don't know the Fourth Prince well enough." Xie Mingxi said lightly: "If the Fourth Prince is willing to let Sheng Xuan be his scapegoat, he will definitely find someone else. If he wants to get rid of Sheng Xuan, he has to make a secret plan."
Then, he whispered a few words into Sheng Hong's ear: "...There are always traces of what has been done. Even if there is no evidence, we must find some evidence for Sheng Xuan."
The faint body fragrance belonging to a girl filled her nostrils, and the hot air blew against her sensitive ears, causing an unbearable commotion.
Sheng Hong was confused for a while. Subconsciously, he put his arms around Xie Mingxi's slender waist and moved his face towards Xie Mingxi's lips.
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stepped away slightly: "I'm talking to you about business, don't make nonsense!"
The shameless Sheng replied plausibly: "What I do is also a serious matter."
A newlywed couple, making out for a while, what's wrong with that?
...Half an hour later, the two of them got up and went to bed, changed clothes, freshened up, and had breakfast.
Xie Mingxi's right hand was sore and looked light and weak when holding the chopsticks.
Sheng Hong looked at her slender, soft and delicate fingers, and a hint of dark red flashed across his handsome face. He coughed slightly uncomfortably, and then used chopsticks to prepare dishes for Xie Mingxi: "I'll pick up the dishes for you to eat."
Xie Mingxi rolled her eyes at him, seemingly angry but not angry.
The waves in the eyes are all amorous feelings.
Sheng Hong's heart skipped a beat, and when he thought of the intimate and charming scene when he woke up in the morning, his heart was filled with excitement. Unfortunately, his left arm was injured and it was not suitable for "violent" exercise. It was a waste of good time...
Thinking of this, Sheng Hong's hatred for the fourth prince reached an unprecedented height!
Take this opportunity to get rid of Sheng Xuan first!
Sheng Hong thought fiercely, and his movements of picking up food for Xie Mingxi became more and more gentle.
Xianghui and others, who were standing by and waiting, were forced to show their affection, and they silently looked away in unison.
…
After breakfast, the messenger from Xie Mansion arrived.
The person who came to deliver the letter was the manager of Xie Jun's house, and he was also a useful person around Xie Jun.
Sheng Hong considerately avoided it for a moment.
Xie Mingxi asked directly: "What message did father ask you to send?"
The steward replied respectfully: "To the Seventh Prince and Concubine, I have said that the people who should be dealt with have been dealt with properly, and there will never be any mistakes in the future."
Xie Mingxi glanced at the steward and said calmly: "There's no need to beat around the bush, it's okay to speak bluntly!"
The steward did not dare to be secretive anymore and told the truth: "Aunt Ding was imprisoned in Lanxiang Courtyard and was not allowed to leave Lanxiang Courtyard in the future. The eldest son had his left leg broken and was sent out of the capital overnight by Steward Xie.
After a few months, he will be sent to his old home in Lin'an."
"My master has ordered that the eldest son is not allowed to step out of the hospital. Otherwise, his right leg will be broken as well."
It's appropriate to deal with them this way. Just keep a close eye on the two of them and don't show them in front of others.
Xie Jun could not live up to the bad reputation of killing his concubine's own son, and she, the seventh prince's concubine, did not need to bear the bad reputation.
Xie Mingxi nodded slightly: "Go back and tell your father that I understand."
The steward responded respectfully, bowed and resigned.
It wasn't until he exited the inner hall that the steward stood up straight and breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past, I only thought that the third young lady was unparalleled in intelligence and resourcefulness. Now I was shocked to realize that as the seventh prince's concubine, the third young lady no longer needed to hide her beauty and show off her sharp edge.
He stood in front of the third lady, but he didn't dare to express his anger.
…
After the steward left, Sheng Hong stepped into the inner room.
Xie Mingxi did not hide it from him, and whispered about Aunt Ding's affair with Xie Yuanting: "...Father has sent Xie Yuanting to Lin'an's old house and ordered people to guard her closely. From now on, it will be difficult for Xie Yuanting to show up again.
"Aunt Ding is imprisoned in Lanxiang Courtyard and will not appear in front of others in the future."
Aunt Ding is Xie Mingxi's biological mother, and Xie Yuanting is the brother of Xie Mingxi's mother.
They were supposed to be the closest people to Xie Mingxi in the world.
Unfortunately, the words "blood is thicker than water" are not suitable for Aunt Ding and her son. It is also not suitable for the cold-hearted Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi's principle has always been "If you respect me a foot, I will give you a foot; if you offend me, I will give you a hundred feet"! Even if the other person is his mother's brother, this is no exception!
Xie Mingxi looked indifferent, and when she mentioned Aunt Ding Xie Yuanting, her tone was indifferent and without any emotion.
Sheng Hong was an orphan in his previous life and had no relatives. In this life, he became the seventh prince. In addition to having some affection for Concubine Mei, who loved him wholeheartedly, he was always at a distance from Emperor Jianwen, Empress Yu, Princess Changping, the second prince and others.
.
Sheng Hong's indifference to family affection is actually almost the same as Xie Mingxi's.
Sheng Hong did not offer any comfort, he just opened his mouth and said: "Mingxi, I am your husband-in-law and the person you are closest to. From now on, we will stay together day and night and never be separated."
From now on, I will always be by your side. I will not let anyone hurt you in the slightest, and I will not let you suffer the slightest injustice.
We will be a couple for life.
Xie Mingxi raised her eyes and looked at Sheng Hong quietly.
His eyes are deep and dark, like obsidian. Once you take one look at them, you can't help but be attracted to him.
When he was her classmate and friend "Sixth Princess", she liked to look into his eyes the most. This habit continues to this day. When she looks into his eyes, she always feels particularly happy.
It's just that she was born with a sexual orientation and never wanted to admit it.
