Chapter 35 Immortal Merit

One of them cupped his hands and said: "Miss Su is too modest, you saved our master, you should be worshiped by me."

Yuan Xi waved his hand and said: "Okay. I brought her here today to tell you. She, Su Jingyi, is the person I, Yuan Xi, want to protect! I have sent Si Mo and Si Qin to be her secret guards." .Now, on the first day of junior high school, let me tell you first, how is the investigation of the Pingnan Hou Mansion going?"

The man named Chuyi replied: "Master, the subordinates only found out that it seems that Lord Su's stepmother, Mrs. Yu, was involved with King An back then."

Yuan Xi frowned, "King An?"

"Returning to the master, when King An rebelled, he was ordered by the emperor to kill all the people in the whole family! However, I heard that this King An left a huge amount of wealth before his death, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

Jingyi's face changed slightly, huge wealth?King An and Yu Shi?Is it really such a coincidence?Jing Yi looked at Yuan Xi: "Why did you send someone to investigate the Hou's mansion secretly?"

Yuanxi looked solemn, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "I was originally investigating the truth about the death of Concubine Li's mother and son, with the intention of clearing up my mother's grievances. Who knows that I was involved with the deputy lieutenant of the infantry back then, And the deputy infantry lieutenant back then was your grandfather!"

Jingyi's expression changed, "Concubine Li?" After taking a few steps in the room, Jingyi looked at Yuanxi again, "Yuanxi, have you ever thought about how much the emperor loved Concubine Li back then? How could you find things that he couldn't even find out so easily? And it was 13 years after the incident, how could these witnesses and physical evidence surface? And you still found it? "

Yuan Xi was shocked when he heard this, and the expressions of the other people looking at Jing Yi changed drastically!Even cold sweat broke out on his head!
How could they not have thought of such an important question before?The emperor was extremely angry at Concubine Li's death, and after repeated investigations failed, he executed all the servants in her palace!In addition, many female officials in the harem were executed, and Yuanxi's biological mother was even ordered to die for this!As Jingyi said, why can they find out things that even the most powerful man in the world can't find out?
Yuanxi approached Jingyi, "Yiyi, thank you this time, otherwise, I'm afraid we will fall into the trap dug by others again."

Jingyi shook her head: "It may not be so simple to just grasp things."

Yuan Xi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "So that's the case! The people behind this scene have such deep scheming and vicious schemes!"

Before the other people came back to their senses, Jingyi said: "Now, do you understand? I'm just the daughter of a little marquis mansion, and I've been plotted against every day. What's more, you who were born in the royal family Prince? Although you are not favored, you cannot change the fact that you are connected by blood. I am afraid that someone will use your hand to pass the matter of Concubine Li and put the blame on my grandfather. Ping Nanhou's title is not guaranteed. At that time, who will control the military department? Not only that, I am afraid that that person has already thought about it, and will implicate this matter to which concubine in the palace, and your mother will eventually You can't get rid of the crime of murdering Concubine Li, but your status in the palace is even more embarrassing and dangerous. You failed to avenge your mother, but offended several forces one after another. In this way, you can kill three birds with one stone."

Yuan Xi nodded, "That's right. It is precisely because Mr. Su refuses to be close to any faction, they simply have to find a way to get rid of him and seize the military power. In this way, they can get rid of another one who ascended to the throne. stumbling block! In addition, all the things that offend people are handled by me. Hehe, what a deep plot!"

The other four people in the room were already pale by this time.They thought they had found some clues for their master, but they never thought that this was simply a death talisman deliberately placed there, waiting for them to pick it up!

'Plop', the four of them knelt on the ground together, and said loudly: "The subordinates are not doing their job well, please punish the master!"

Yuan Xi shook his head, stepped forward to help Chu Yi up, and signaled the other three to get up. "It's not your fault, it's our naivete! I really thought that I could get the truth out of the matter without anyone noticing it. But I don't want everything to be making wedding dresses for others!"

Jingyi glanced at their master and servant, and thought to herself: I never thought that Yuanxi would have such a loyal subordinate at such a young age. It can be seen that this person is good at guessing people's hearts and knows how to control his subordinates. No wonder I was waiting for the mansion. , you will feel a royal air from him!
Yuan Xi pushed the four of them back, pulled Jing Yi, and sat on a chair beside her.

Yuan Xi peeled a tangerine for her with his own hands, put it in her hand, and said slowly: "When I was seven years old, after being beaten by several imperial brothers, I hid in a corner of my palace. It happened, my mother and concubine couldn't do anything about it, and my father didn't care about it. At that time, I was seriously injured, and the bones all over my body seemed to be falling apart. If I moved a little, I would feel pain .I sat alone in the corner, looking at the sky above my head, I really wanted to go back to my room to get a rope, and hang myself!”

Having said this, Yuan Xi lightly closed his eyes, the corners of which were already moist.

It can be seen that it was an extremely painful past, Jingyi took out the handkerchief in her sleeve, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Yuan Xi felt a pair of small hands comforting him, couldn't help chuckling, and opened his eyes.He looked at the little girl in front of him whose face and eyes were full of concern for him, a certain place in his heart seemed to be filled, something fell into his heart, deep, Can't melt, can't disperse.

Yuan Xi said lightly: "Don't worry, I've survived that period of time, and I'm fine." After a pause, he looked out the window.

"I don't know how long I sat there until a person suddenly appeared in front of me. He is the commander of the guards in my palace." Having said that, Yuan Xi laughed at himself: "Hehe, the commander of the guards, there is only one person in total. Lead eight people."

Yuan Xi took a deep breath and said: "His name is Sihang. He is very good at kung fu. He was punished to my palace just because he accidentally offended a powerful eunuch next to my father. He began to secretly teach me martial arts. From then on, I secretly practiced martial arts every night, and secretly went to the upper study room to listen to the teacher's lectures during the day. Sihang treated me very well. Later, he kept searching for some books for me, encouraging me I work hard."

Yuan Xi laughed at himself, "I originally thought that as long as I worked hard enough and was smart enough, my father would be willing to look at me more, but I didn't expect that what I worked day and night in exchange for was my father's thunder." Outraged! Accused me of wishful thinking! He did not allow me to participate in any palace banquets, and sometimes even ordered me to be grounded. I never imagined that I would be so unbearable in the eyes of my father. When I was desperate, I happened to be The sneak attack almost made them succeed. Fortunately, I met you!"
