Chen Yan
Chapter 170 Dare to Touch His Wife
He chuckled softly, his tone turning icy without him realizing it. "If he wants to die, I won't stop him."
In the past, for Xie Ruizhi's sake, Xie Jinyan had spared Xu Si more than once or twice. Now, Xu Si was so arrogant and bold as to dare touch his wife. It seemed he had lived a comfortable life for too long and couldn't recognize his own worth!
The smile on his lips gradually faded, and a trace of worry flashed in Xie Jinyan's eyes. He sighed and said, "I just don't know if Ruizhi will blame me for this."
After all, he had taught A Yue to be so hopeless, to such an end, to hate him so much.
Ruizhi was his own sister. Emotionally, Xie Jinyan cared more about Xie Ruizhi, and naturally didn't want Xie Ruizhi to end up hating him too.
If Xie Ruizhi resented this, she would slowly become indifferent to Xu Zian.
The best way to break up a bad relationship was not to use power to suppress people, nor to be a meddling busybody, but to turn the white moonlight into a cesspool, making people disgusted to even look at it.
Since Xie Ruizhi herself was disgusted by Xu Zian, she naturally wouldn't blame Xie Jinyan.
A layer of frost appeared in her eyes, and Yu Qingwu gently took Xie Jinyan's hand, softly saying, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Sixth Princess will never blame you. If she blames anyone, she will only blame herself for bringing Xu Si and his sister into the palace to embarrass themselves."
"This servant greets His Highness the Crown Prince, greetings to the Crown Princess."
Yu Qingwu was comforting Xie Jinyan in a gentle voice when a eunuch suddenly appeared from nowhere.
Judging by his attire, he seemed to be from Empress Zhou's palace, but Yu Qingwu found him unfamiliar.
It seemed that Xu Si couldn't wait to harm her?
Yu Qingwu was suspicious and didn't say anything, only smiled and nodded gently to the eunuch.
In contrast, Xie Jinyan's coldness was somewhat frightening. Although he was famous for his absurdity, he was also famous for his ruthlessness. His phoenix eyes were like ice, staring sharply at the eunuch, and he asked, "Are you from the Empress's palace?"
Perhaps Xie Jinyan's eyes were too sharp, the eunuch's expression flickered, but he was forcing himself to be calm, smiling and saying, "Replying to Your Highness the Crown Prince, this servant is indeed serving in the Empress's palace. The Empress said she was not satisfied with her makeup today and wanted to ask the Crown Princess if she had brought the self-made rouge with her, and wanted the Crown Princess to help her reapply it. I wonder if the Crown Princess is willing?"
What the hell? The Empress wanted her to touch up her makeup?
Such an excuse, Xu Zian was able to think of it, but how could Xu Zian, a man, think of these things? Was it Xu Fengxia's idea?
Yu Qingwu subconsciously looked towards Xu Fengxia. Xu Fengxia was still sitting there, but... Qiu Shiyi Niang was gone.
Heh, that's right, how could she forget that Qiu Shiyi Niang was originally on good terms with Xu Zian.
Qiu Shiyi Niang's mother was dragged down with her a few days ago because of her, and her neck was cut off. Presumably, Qiu Shiyi Niang hated her to death at this time, and would definitely get involved in anything that could harm her.
She really wouldn't give up until she reached the Yellow River...
In that case, it would be better to beat her until she couldn't get up.
After all, Qiu Shiyi Niang was not a good person either.
So, Yu Qingwu pretended not to see the flicker in the eunuch's eyes, immediately got up, and smiled back at the eunuch, "If the Empress needs it, I am willing."
"This sir, please lead the way." Yu Qingwu smiled, her voice gentle and amiable.
The eunuch saw that she agreed, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately led the way for her.
Yu Qingwu got up and was about to follow quickly.
Just as she took a step, a large hand grabbed her wrist.
Yu Qingwu was stunned, and turned her head slightly, only to see Xie Jinyan frowning, coldly glared at the eunuch, and asked vigilantly, "Are you really from the Empress's palace? Why do I find you unfamiliar?"
The eunuch's original steps suddenly froze, and his expression became uneasy.
But soon, he suppressed his panic, and turned back very respectfully, smiling at Xie Jinyan, "Replying to Your Highness the Crown Prince, this servant only came to serve in the Empress's palace yesterday, so you naturally haven't seen me before."
"Is that so?" Xie Jinyan shot a sharp light from his eyes, suddenly got up, put Yu Qingwu in his arms, and solemnly ordered the eunuch, "Lead the way, I will go with the Crown Princess."
Hearing this, the eunuch was stunned.
If the Crown Prince went with her, how could he do it? How could he facilitate the Crown Princess's scandal?
For a moment, the eunuch was stunned in place, not knowing whether to go or not.
After a moment of stiffness, he mustered his courage and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Empress only asked the Crown Princess to go alone."
"What, do I need a small eunuch's permission to go to my mother's palace?" Xie Jinyan was furious, and kicked him hard, knocking the eunuch over on the spot.
It was a solid kick to the heart, which almost made the eunuch vomit blood.
Seeing Xie Jinyan's anger, he was really scared, and hurriedly got up from the ground, terrified, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, please calm down, this servant will lead the way."
After speaking, he walked ahead, frightened.
However, he panicked after taking a few steps and wanted to run away.
Where would Xie Jinyan give him a chance, he immediately ordered someone to arrest him, and ordered someone to pass a message to Yu Qi, and immediately dragged him down for a severe torture.
Yu Qi was also a cruel official. Knowing that this guy wanted to harm his sister, he naturally tortured him even more severely. In less than half an incense stick of time, the eunuch confessed everything.
He said that he was a member of Qiu Shiyi Niang, and that Qiu Shiyi Niang and Xu Zian instructed him to come, the purpose was to lead Yu Qingwu to have a private meeting with Liang Xiuyuan, the grandson of Prince Ning, and then let people catch them in the act of adultery, killing two birds with one stone, both eliminating Yu Qingwu and Xu Zian's illegitimate son.
After hearing these words, Xie Jinyan was so angry that he almost wanted to beat the eunuch again.
Yu Qi was also very angry, and immediately ordered the eunuch to be thrown into the eunuch's room and beaten severely.
When he came out again, he went directly to the Taiji Hall, saying that he was going to complain to Emperor Wei.
From beginning to end, Yu Qingwu didn't move a finger, and she had beaten the person who wanted to harm her half to death.
At this moment, she felt unprecedented peace in her heart.
She was also quite surprised. On the way back to the garden, Yu Qingwu finally couldn't help but tugged at Xie Jinyan's sleeve and asked him, "Your Highness, why make such a big fuss? Actually, you could have sent someone to follow me, and then collect their evidence more thoroughly."
"A Wu, I can't put you in danger again." Before Yu Qingwu could finish speaking, Xie Jinyan's gentle voice came from her ear. He looked at her deeply and said softly, "The last time you fell from the carriage, I was already scared once. I don't want to have a second time."
After speaking, his eyes turned cold, and he shouted at Feng Yuan, who was standing not far away, and ordered him, "Feng Yuan, you, go and call Xu Zian to the East Palace, and say that I have something to tell him."
