Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 124 Vicious Gossip
The atmosphere in Prince Qi's Mansion is not good, and the atmosphere in Xie's family is not as if they are about to marry a daughter. Everyone smiles forcefully, which is more annoying than not smiling.

After all, the Xie family sent Xie Jinyao's birth date to Prince Qi's mansion, but they didn't even give any response, they just sent a few people from the palace to teach Xie Jinyao the rules.

These few people in the palace heard that Princess Qi personally went to the palace to invite her sister, they said it was to practice the rules, but in fact they were emphasizing Xie Jinyao's irregularity.

The face of the entire Xie family was dull.

Xie Jinhua was too lazy to experience these weird atmospheres at home, so he took Lily out the door after having some breakfast in the morning.

First, she wanted to sit in a restaurant and listen to the latest news in the capital, and second, she wanted to go and see Bailixiu.

Even though Bai Lixiu took her to Tianxiang Garden that day, the two of them supported each other to avoid the killer along the way, and Xie Jinhua had a much better impression of the little girl.

She had experienced a lot herself, and she was not frightened, but worried about the psychological shadow Bailixiu left behind.

Xie Jinhua went to Juxianlou, the largest restaurant in the capital, and most of them were places where only those with status and money could go.

A lot of news can be heard there.

"Miss, if you want to know something, you can just ask Young Master Qin directly. Why bother to come out and work hard? Otherwise, I can ask more."

Lily looked at Xie Jinhua worriedly. Although her injury was very good, it was a serious injury that almost hurt her muscles and bones. She even fell into a coma for a few days. If she could rest, she should rest as much as possible.

"You don't know this. A piece of news comes out of different people in different versions. Some of them are true, some are false, and some are half-truths and half-false. They understand differently, and the meanings that come out are also different. It's different."

Xie Jinhua picked up the tea brewed on the table and brought it to her lips, took a sip lightly, it tasted very good, but she put it down after taking a sip, it is best not to touch her mouth with things outside, especially wine and tea .

Last time in Tianxiang Tower, we should be thankful that those killers didn't poison the tea and food in advance, otherwise, at least half of the survivors would have survived.

Lily didn't notice Xie Jinhua's gestures, just because she couldn't understand her words: "Miss, why is it different? I've told you everything I heard, and Young Master Qin will definitely not hide it from you, so why don't you tell me?" Can it be different?"

Xie Jinhua smiled: "No matter how much he knows, there are always omissions, and most of them must have been collected by his subordinates. No matter how carefully you recount, there must be your focus, and I will come here in person Turning around, although I don’t know more than the two of you, I can choose to listen to what I think is important.”

Lily understood a little bit, she let out an oh, and she didn't feel unhappy on the face, but felt that Xie Jinhua's words were quite reasonable.

"It's true what Miss said. Sometimes when I inquire about the news and then tell Miss what I think is important, I don't know if it has delayed your affairs, Miss. If I hear something next time, I will be sure. Let me tell you. Miss is so smart, she must be able to understand more clearly than I think."

Lily said finally.

Lily is actually a very transparent person, at least more transparent than Xie Jinhua used to be, otherwise she wouldn't be able to tell at a glance that Huang Shi and Xie Jinyao have no sincerity towards Xie Jinhua, and see that Xie Jinyao and King Qi have some beginnings and ends.

It's just that she is a bit straightforward in her work, and she is too dedicated to Xie Jinhua. At this moment, Xie Jinhua sees her earnest expression of determination, sincerely admires her appearance, and can't help but laugh.

"I'm not as powerful as you think. It's just that I have experienced a lot and thought too much. There is nothing so powerful."

It's also fortunate that Xie Jinhua didn't really have only one life, otherwise, if he was so sincerely praised and admired by Lily Riri, he would really think that he is very powerful.

Her so-called being strong and careful is all because she suffers too much and suffers too much in exchange for harm.

"Have you heard? The third son of Prince Rui's Mansion heard that His Majesty appreciates his handling of affairs, and now he has been promoted to the deputy commander of Zhuquewei. He is only so young and already has a high position. It is really a trick have to."

A voice suddenly came from the side, the voice was not loud, after all Suzaku Wei was not able to talk loudly, it was only because of the proximity and Xie Jinhua's good hearing that he could hear clearly.

It was Qin Zheng who was talking, and she couldn't help but listen attentively.

"Oh, what a means, the high position and weight, but it's just a cover to be pushed out. If it weren't for him, he would be regarded as the blood of the royal family. Look at which corner Qin Zheng is nesting in now."

The other person spoke with some disdain.

"You also said that it is the blood of the royal family. People have that blood, and it will be a matter of time. I have heard that the commander is already old, and now it is just a decoration. The person in charge has become the newly promoted Vice Commander Qin has taken over."

The scribe who spoke at the beginning said, although it sounded like he was defending Qin Zheng, his words were actually very sour.

The other person was a tall and thin scribe who took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Zheng, you have only come to the capital not long ago, so I don't know. The Third Young Master, in fact, was recently helped by His Majesty to rectify his name, do you know who he was before?"

The man gave a strange laugh: "The prostitute gave birth to a child."

Those three words made Xie Jinhua narrow his eyes.

Qin Zheng's identity is rarely known in Prince Rui's Mansion. Since Prince Rui's Mansion recognizes Qin Zheng's identity as mentioned by the emperor, they will not reveal his biological mother.

There was a cold look in her eyes.

Someone is targeting Qin Zheng.

At that moment, Xie Jinhua had this thought in his mind.

"What's a prostitute's son? It's the same thing as a servant. It is said that Qin Zheng's biological mother is a singing prostitute in Ruiwang's mansion. It is a thing that anyone can use to accompany guests at banquets. The Suzaku Guard's The deputy commander doesn't know how many cheap fathers there are, if we were able to be invited into the mansion by King Rui back then, it doesn't mean that you and I will also count as one."

Just as the tall and thin scribe was talking, the scribes opposite and the people at the nearby tables were all listening. When Xie Jinhua was about to bear it, he heard a cold snort.

"Your Excellency knows a lot."

A man dressed as Suzaku Guard stood on the stairs with a murderous look on his face.

"It just so happens that my lord also wants to know how many relatives I have. This is really hard to find. Come and take them away."

The tall and thin scribe's expression changed drastically, he turned around and was about to run away.

He only took a step when he was grabbed from behind by two Suzaku guards who jumped down directly from upstairs.

"I'm not wrong at all. Everyone in the capital knows that Qin Zheng is not the third son of Prince Rui's Mansion at all. He is just a bastard. Why can't he do it? So many people say that you can kill all the people in the world, but Can't stop the mouths of people in the world, prostitutes despise it!"

As the voice fell, a flash of saber flashed, the tall and thin scribe covered his neck, his throat was gurgling, but he still couldn't stop the gushing blood, his eyes burst out, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

Withdrawing the bloody knife in his hand, the Vermilion Bird guard next to the tall and thin scribe was the one who spoke on the stairs just now. He had a cold and vicious face, and smiled fiercely: "We can't kill all the people in the world, but who let you be so cheap?" With a vicious tongue, he ran in front of the rightful lord and uttered nonsense, slandering the imperial court official, he deserves to be killed!"

The scribe who was talking to the tall and thin scribe just now trembled: "Don't do my business, I don't know anything."

He shook himself up and was about to lie down under the table, and he looked like a harmless person.

"The famous storyteller in Tiesianqiao, he has told a lot of good stories this month."

That Suzaku guard stepped on the scribe's back, no matter how hard he turned over, he couldn't get out, like a turtle.

"My lord heard that there have been many good jokes in the capital these days, and I just want to find some storytellers. This one can go to the Xuanfu Department as a guest."

The Xuanfu Division is where the office of the Zhuquewei Palace is located. Although it used to be scary, most of them were officials. But after Qin Zheng entered the Xuanfu Division, most people in the capital were terrified. up.

After all, because of a spy in Xiyuan and an incident in Tianxiangyuan, Xuanfu Division has arrested all kinds of people.

Those who went in rarely came out, and most of them lost their lives when they came out.

In the eyes of the people in the capital, it is tantamount to hell.

The people in the restaurant were silent, not daring to speak out, and not daring to run away.

Xie Jinhua looked at the effect and couldn't help frowning.

A pool of blood flowed from the body of the dead tall and thin scribe, and the smell of blood was pungent. Lily was also a little frightened, and couldn't help but hold Xie Jinhua's hand.

Although she has been to the Xuanfu Department and met Qin Zheng too many times, and she even gave Qin Zheng shame several times for Xie Jinhua, in her original impression, Qin Zheng was a very good person to Xie Jinhua , is harmless.But the scene just now made her understand in a daze that Qin Zheng was not as harmless as she imagined.

"Master, my lord pleases."

The Zhuquewei who spoke at the beginning threw the storyteller under his feet to his companion, walked up to Xie Jinhua, and bowed down.

Xie Jinhua touched Lily's tightly clenched hand reassuringly, and couldn't help laughing: "Ah Zheng won't hurt me at all."

Lily's frightened heart was relieved a lot because of Xie Jinhua's words.

She suddenly thought that Qin Zheng had never been unfavorable to Xie Jinhua.

When Qin Zheng and Xie Jinhua got along, Xie Jinhua always had the upper hand.

Xie Jinhua followed Zhuquewei upstairs and saw Qin Zheng.

As soon as he saw her, his eyes lit up, and he walked up to her in a few steps, pushed Lily away calmly, and stretched out his hand to support Xie Jinhua: "I originally planned to visit you at night, but I didn't expect us to have such a close relationship." Fate, just in time."

His hand held Xie Jinhua's.

Starting from the confession, every meeting is better than being shy.

Xie Jinhua's eyes fell on Qin Zheng's hand holding his own. It was a big hand with clear bones, and there was no trace of the original thinness.

Very powerful.

Lily was pushed away, and was about to speak, but when she saw the knives around Zhuquewei's waist, especially the murderous Zhuquewei just now, her complexion changed and she didn't dare to utter a word.

Xie Jinhua saw that Lily was quite frightened, and gave Qin Zheng a light look.

The tall and thin scholar spoke too viciously, she didn't mind Qin Zheng's people killing him, but killing him in public was a bit too much.

Qin Zheng winked and told those around him to go out, Lily took them away together, and then put his head on Xie Jinhua's shoulder with a smile: "Sister, are you upset?"

Xie Jinhua was taken aback: "Didn't you say that you are not going to call me sister?"

Her attention was drawn away.

Qin Zheng deliberately dawdled his head against Xie Jinhua's neck twice, his nose was filled with the fragrance of a young girl, her cheeks were slightly flushed, her eyes were particularly dark, and her voice was a little hoarse unconsciously: " I figured it out, calling my sister doesn't mean my sister and I are siblings, but there are quite a few cousins ​​together, right?"

And it's a rare pleasure.

Qin Zheng's cheeks turned redder, and there was a little anticipation in his eyes when he thought of the few storybooks and picture albums that his subordinates had found.

Xie Jinhua didn't know the rubbish in Qin Zheng's mind at the moment. In her heart, Qin Zheng was still very pure.

"We are not cousins."

He muttered something, but did not object. In fact, Xie Jinhua liked to hear Qin Zheng calling her sister. Her relatives were not real relatives. Even Zheng Qianqiu was too strange. No matter what Qin Zheng had in mind for her, In fact, she cared more about the sound of her close sister than she thought.

The corners of Qin Zheng's lips curled up.
