Chapter 444 You have to have a conscience
When Princess Huaizhen saw Xie Yuan coming in, she turned her face sideways and stared at her with the end of her eyes, as if she was not kind enough to find fault, but unwilling to lose her momentum.

Xie Yuan walked up to her, stretched out his hand to salute, and called out: "Princess."

Princess Huaizhen looked at her, bit her gorgeous red lips, wanted to say something but stopped.

After a while she stood up from the chair, leaned sideways and raised her chin, looked at Xie Yuan proudly, and said:
"Come in with me." She turned around and walked into the room with her gorgeous skirt tail.

The servants who served her looked at Aunt Mo's eyes and saw that she shook her head and didn't follow in, so they all guarded outside the door in an orderly manner.

Xie Yuan had no choice but to walk forward through them.

The maids did not say a word, but bowed to her in unison, and then closed the door for them.

Xie Yuan stood in the center of the hall, looking at the back of Princess Huaizhen opposite.

This scene has happened many times, and none of the memories are pleasant.Xie Yuan's straight back was full of vigilance, and he couldn't help frowning slightly as he looked at her, and remained silent.

Princess Huaizhen seemed to be competing with each other, and seemed to want to say something, with her back to Xie Yuan, there might have been no movement for a long time.

In the end, he still couldn't resist Xie Yuan's determination, and turned around, looked at her wronged and angry, and said:
"I heard people say today that you went to the brothel?!"

A cold light flashed in Xie Yuandanfeng's eyes, and he asked vigilantly, "Who did you listen to?"

Princess Huaizhen took two steps forward, looked directly into Xie Yuan's eyes, and asked:
"Is it important who I listen to? Xie Yuan, you don't need to like me, but if you don't like me and go to that lowly prostitute, I will never tolerate it!"

Xie Yuan frowned even more when he heard that, he looked at Princess Huaizhen as if he was looking at a lunatic, and after a while she said solemnly:
"Of course it's important, I need to know who is watching me."

"Do you still need to be monitored? No matter what your voice or position in the court, wherever you go, someone will tell you when you see it."

As she spoke tears rolled down her cheeks, crying and saying:
"...My son-in-law, you have to have a conscience. If I hadn't heard the news and went to the palace to tell His Majesty, you would have been polluted to death by the queen, do you know?"

Xie Yuan turned his eyes, examined Huaizhen's expression, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? In the case you presided over, the Ma family found the evicted maid in advance, and let her frame you, don't you understand?
You were still trying the case there. When I entered the palace, the queen had already started whispering in the emperor's ears, saying that the case was caused by a disagreement between you and me, having an affair with that lowly maid, and later holding a grudge, hating the royal family for doing it on purpose down. "

Only then did Xie Yuan remember that the father-in-law who passed the decree reminded her to thank Princess Huaizhen.

She didn't know what was going on at the time, but now it seems... she should really be thanked.

Xie Yuan's phoenix eyes drooped down, his voice suddenly became softer, with a little apology, he bowed to Princess Huaizhen and said:

"Thank you princess, thank you for your help. I know that the princess has secretly helped Xie many times, and I will remember it in my heart."

Princess Zhenzhen looked at her face from a close distance, the handsome and heroic outline, and when the Danfeng eyes were lowered, the curvature of the inner corners of the beautiful eyes became more obvious, which made her flustered.

She knew that she still liked this person very much, so she felt even more aggrieved. She took another step closer as if whispering in a low voice, raised her head slightly, and asked as if begging:
"Keep it in your heart?... How do you keep it in your heart? Are you going to the brothel behind my back to find other women? Since you are willing to go to the brothel, why can't you like me?"

Xie Yuan pursed his lips forbearance, and then replied in a low voice, somewhat coldly:
"Princess, not everyone is like you, full of love and entanglement, and I didn't go to the brothel to find prostitutes."

Before Princess Huaizhen got mad, she added another sentence:
"I remember the princess's great love for Xie, and I am grateful. Therefore, I can work hard for you and your Liu family's country. But Xie really can't do anything else the princess asks for."

Princess Huaizhen looked at her, her apricot eyes gleamed, and she didn't look at her for a moment.There was hope and doubt in her eyes.But Xie Yuan looked at her firmly and calmly.

After a while, Princess Huaizhen finally closed her eyes, lowered her head resignedly, and said displeasedly:

"Okay, I believe you. But... don't go to the brothel in the future, otherwise, I don't know what I will do."

After saying that, she bypassed Xie Yuan and walked outside the door.

At the moment when they passed each other, Xie Yuan suddenly said, "Princess, wait a minute."

This was the first time that Xie Yuan tried to keep her back. Princess Zhen's heart was like a stone rising from the water, and she stood still, surprise bursting out of her eyes.

But Xie Yuan just turned half of his body, looked at her, and said as calmly and gently as possible:

"Princess, the person who told you to enter the palace to help me is obviously not the same person as the person who told you today that I went to the brothel. I suggest that the princess might as well check who is behind the source of the news. It is good for you and me to distinguish whether it is an enemy or a friend."

When Princess Huaizhen heard this, she was disappointed, she shook her body, and then dragged her gorgeous dress out without saying a word.

……

……

At this time, Duke Ma's mansion was also caught in a quarrel.

"Father! Since you know that Eunuch He is partial to Shen Qingzhi's master and apprentice, then you should find a way to kill him! Otherwise, when the two of them join forces, when will we get revenge?!" Ma Shuo was very excited because of his arrogance. I'm used to talking to my father, but I'm not polite to outsiders.

But Ma Guogong was not angry at all, instead he persuaded him kindly:
"Son, there's no need to rush this kind of thing. He's not naked, maybe we have his eyeliner around us. You forgot, last time we caught Huayan, he knew the ins and outs.

Then are you sure that he doesn't know our every move now?So, we must be careful, don't kill the person we want to kill, and instead be caught by someone and kill him instead!Think about it, that's a terrible thing! "

Ma Shuo anxiously sat down on the seat next to him, picked up a jug of wine, poured it into his mouth, and said impatiently:

"Wait, wait... Is it possible to wait until that man surnamed Xie leads the army and breaks into the house?! I don't care, I will let him die. If he doesn't die for a day, I will not be happy!"
