Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

Xia Houqi looked at Nan Xi's arrogant and arrogant look and laughed out loud.

"Are you a dog? Just kiss, why do you bite?" Xia Houqi looked at her angrily and asked.

"I am born in the year of Dragon, but I bite dogs."

After saying that, Nan Xi looked at Xia Houqi very clearly:
You are that dog.

Xia Houqi was scolded as a dog, but he wasn't angry at all. He stretched out his hand to touch the corner of his mouth and looked at her with a smile:
"How many more bites will I give you?"

"No need, Your Majesty's kissing skills are too poor and the kiss is uncomfortable. If you want to kiss me next time, I will come back to you." Nan Xi refused directly.

"Then Emperor Ji, please don't let me wait too long. If you wait too long, I will ask for it myself."

Nan Xi was impressed by his shamelessness and gave him a blank look.

After the bickering between the two ended, Nan Xi remembered her purpose.

"I have a trick for you, it's up to you whether you listen or not."

"Emperor Ji, please speak." Xia Houqi smiled very wantonly.

"For those concubines you sent away, help them find good homes. This will dissipate a lot of the resentment in their hearts and leave them with a good reputation."

Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed in Xia Houqi's eyes:
"I have never thought about this. It is a good idea. I will ask the housekeeper to find a suitable man. If the man is sincere and does not dislike them for being dismissed by me, I will give them a congratulatory gift."

Xia Houqi agreed very much with Nan Xi's idea.

Hearing this, Nan Xi nodded and said nothing more.

After coming up with the idea, Nan Xi wanted to leave, but Xia Houqi stopped her and refused to let her go.

"You kiss someone and then leave. Do you want to be a little hooligan?" Xia Houqi raised his lips.

Nan Xi looked at the hand tightly holding her waist, raised her eyebrows, and asked jokingly:

"Who do you think is more of a gangster among us?"

Xia Houqi ignored the question confidently, "Stay and have dinner together. I will send you back to the palace later. If you are willing, it is not a bad idea to stay overnight in the palace."

"If I stay overnight, where will I sleep?"

"Of course it's my king's bedroom, where else do you want to sleep?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in your bedroom at all. You can take me back to the palace after dinner."

"Yes, I will obey the Emperor Ji's will——"

Dividing line--
Xiao Changheng looked at his daughter who looked ashen and felt very distressed, so he could only comfort him:

"Yan'er, don't worry. You are the apple of my father's eye. My father will definitely find you a better husband."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruyan raised his head and looked at him:
"Father, it's no need. My daughter no longer has any extravagant hopes. She just hopes to die in the house and die."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How old are you now? Have you seen through the world like this? Xia Houqi is not a good man. I will find you a better father!" Xiao Changheng said with great indignation.

Hearing this, Xiao Ruyan didn't respond.

Xiao Changheng didn't say a word when he saw her, and just sighed helplessly.

The next day, Xiao Ruyan proposed to Xiao Changheng that they should go to a temple on the outskirts of the city to practice for a few months.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Xiao Changheng thought it would be good to go out to relax, so he agreed and asked Caiyue to go up the mountain to practice with Xiao Ruyan and ask her to take good care of Xiao Ruyan.

Unexpectedly, they encountered robbers on the way up the mountain and kidnapped Xiao Ruyan. Caiyue was knocked unconscious and thrown into the wilderness.

Fortunately, a monk passed by and rescued Caiyue. The first time Caiyue woke up, she returned to Xiao Mansion to report the news.When Xiao Changheng heard that his daughter had been kidnapped by robbers, he fainted and fell to the ground. When he woke up, he had someone hide the incident, and then sent a large number of people to find the whereabouts of his daughter.

Being kidnapped by kidnappers, if it was widely publicized, even if the person was rescued safely, he would not be able to survive if he was attacked by rumors. Therefore, Xiao Changheng thought a lot about his daughter, so he could only hide it and announced that he had gone back to his hometown to visit relatives.

A few days later, the servants of the Xiao Mansion discovered a piece of broken clothes and shoes, and a mutilated corpse not far from where Xiao Ruyan was kidnapped.

The news that Xiao Ruyan, the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family, died in the mountains finally spread. Nangong Rui felt Xiao Changheng's pain of losing his daughter and allowed him half a month's mourning period to arrange a decent funeral for Xiao Ruyan.

On the other hand, Xiahou Qi also asked the housekeeper to find many good men, and tried his best to promote the marriage between the concubine Ji who was dismissed by him and other men. Only then in Shengjing did the matter of Xiahou Qiu abandoning his concubine really calm down.

In Tianfeng Palace, Nan Xi was sitting in front of the desk, helping Nangong Rui correct some of his papers. Xia Houqi was sitting aside reading, looking very harmonious.

When news of Xiao Ruyan's death reached their ears, Xia Houqi and Nan Xi were both stunned.

Nan Xi put down the pen in her hand, and Xia Houqi also put down the book. The two looked at each other, and both saw surprise in the other's eyes.

"Is this news accurate?" Nan Xi looked at Feiyun and asked.

"Master, I heard it with my own ears. Now everyone knows that Concubine Xiao. No, it's Miss Xiao. She is dead."

Feiyun subconsciously called Xiao Ruyan Xiao's concubine, but after receiving the warning look from the prince, she immediately changed her tune.

"Okay, I know, please step back."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

"Why did Xiao Ruyan die after everything was fine?" Nan Xi frowned.

"I heard before that Xiao Ruyan took his maid to the temple to get her hair done and practice. It was just a few days ago. Why did it happen so suddenly?"

"Let's find someone to ask. After all, he is your old friend, the prince." Nan Xi couldn't help but tease.

"I don't have any old acquaintances. From the beginning to the end, there is only Di Ji."

"Don't you feel guilty when you say this?"

"I tell the truth, why do you feel guilty?"

It is normal for two people to pull each other off, and there is no flaw to speak of.

But soon, the next day, Xia Houqi found out the cause of Xiao Ruyan's death.

He was first raped and then killed by the robbers.

After getting these four words, Nan Xi also roughly understood why Xiao Changheng did not ask for help to find the whereabouts of his daughter immediately, but waited until the body was found before announcing the news about her.

It's just that the father is thinking about his daughter's reputation.

However, if it were her, she would definitely prioritize human life. As for reputation, what does it matter?When people live in this world, if they only have one life left, everything else will still have a chance.

"What does the prince say?"

Xia Houqi looked at Nan Xi and knew what she meant:
"I sent someone to send a funeral gift to the Xiao Mansion, but Xiao Changheng sent it back."

Xia Houqi said helplessly, "He has completely offended the Xiao family."

Hearing this, Nan Xi couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't expect that the prince would be defeated one day."

"Di Ji, please stop teasing me. I only sent a condolence gift because Xiao Ruyan had stayed in the mansion for two years. Who knew Xiao Changheng would do such a rude thing." Xia Hou gave up. He shook his head and said helplessly.
