Great Ye Empress

Chapter 95
But Xiao Zhiyan, he shouldn't be like this.

She heard Yun Zhao say that Xiao Zhiyan was always bullied, but she also knew that... in the back, Xiao Zhiyan was always like a wolf waiting for an opportunity. As long as he seized the opportunity to take revenge, he would bite the enemy's neck. neck, never die.

How can such a person be so arrogant?
Such a person, even if his head is trampled into the mud, will not lose his pride, and how can he hold his inferiority and cowardice in front of others.

Not to mention...she is not like Yun Zhao, she has a deep relationship with him.

With the identity of Xie Liulang, she has not met Xiao Zhiyan a few times.

And now that he is back in Da Ye, although he is not in power, he will never be more miserable than when he was in the Northern Wei Dynasty...

He is a prince, and there are countless officials and servants who are flattering.

How could she be as cautious as she was in her previous life?
She thought that in her previous life... the only thing she had in common with Xiao Zhiyan was that she was born with a birthmark and was not liked by her father.

Xie Yunchu didn't know, but seeing Xiao Zhiyan's thin lips pursed and his eyes tightly closed... he did seem very stubborn and pitiful.

Xie Yunchu didn't say a word.

In the rain, a delicate carriage with a lantern with the character "Xie" traveled all the way to Yunshan Academy and stopped at the place where the academy gentlemen lived.

Xie Yunchu got off the carriage first, and told the old man Xie that the second prince Xiao Zhiyan was injured in her carriage.

Grandpa Xie's brows twitched, and he instructed Steward Wei beside him, "Go and invite Doctor Huang from the academy first!"

"Yes!" Director Wei left in response.

"You said, after the carriage was pulled out of the mud pit, this Second Highness had gotten into your carriage without knowing it?" Mrs. Xie was a little unbelievable.

The guards he assigned to Xie Yunchu. Although they were not top experts, they were all very skilled. Even if there were only two guards left to push the carriage, they didn't even know that there was one more person in the carriage. How good should you be?
"And there seems to be a group of people looking for the second prince, Liu Lang thought... In any case, this second prince can't have an accident in our Xie family, so he didn't make a sound, and took the second prince to see his grandfather according to his words." Xie Yunchu Report truthfully.

Grandpa Xie nodded, got up and straightened his robes: "As soon as you come, you will be safe, see you first."

When Xie Yunchu went out to welcome Xiao Zhiyan, Xiao Zhiyan had already come out of the carriage.

He stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't see the injury at all.

He looked at the quaint academy shrouded in mist.

The double-eaved pavilion is built on the mountain, with white walls and gray tiles. In the dark green and light green among the mountains, the ancient charm is simple.

"Old man, I have seen Your Highness." Old Master Xie stepped forward with a smile on his face, neither humble nor arrogant, just like a kind elder.

When Xiao Zhiyan heard the sound, he turned his head, nodded lightly, and moved his gaze from Mrs. Xie to Xie Yunchu's face, with a solemn expression: "Elder Xie, take a step to speak."

Grandpa Xie turned sideways to make way: "Second Highness, please..."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xie said to Xie Yunchu, "Go to the class!"

Xie Yunchu bowed and said goodbye to Mrs. Xie and Xiao Zhiyan, lowered his eyebrows, turned and left neatly, without looking at Xiao Zhiyan again.

Xiao Zhiyan tightened his hands behind him, withdrew his gaze, and stepped into the residence of Mrs. Xie first. Please take a seat.

"Second Highness later, the old man has ordered someone to ask for a doctor in the academy. Although he is not as skilled as the imperial physician, he can still respond in an emergency." Grandpa Xie did not ask why Xiao Zhiyan came to look for him.

"Elder Xie, you are a Hongru respected by your father and emperor with a prominent reputation. Your eldest son, Lord Xie... is about to become a minister of officials!" Xiao Zhiyan took out something wrapped in sheepskin from his chest and put it on the small table, "I accept it. As entrusted by the royal father, he quietly went to Hangzhou to investigate the shipping matters during the expedition. Here is an account book and a confession from Hangzhou. Emperor."

When Grandpa Xie heard this, his hand on his lap moved slightly: "Such an important thing, the second prince... I'm afraid it's too risky to entrust the old man with a white robe to present to His Majesty."

"Elder Xie, we Mingren don't speak secretly..." Xiao Zhiyan looked at Mrs. Xie with a half-smile, "Although Xie's family in Chen County is no longer honored in the past, this area in the south is the territory of Xie's family. Xie's help to send it back to Bianjing... it is the fastest and safest!"

Xiao Zhiyan lifted the hem of his black outfit, crossed his legs, and leaned lazily on the back of the chair: "Elder Xie, do you want to thank your lord for entering the pavilion?"

Grandpa Xie still had the same smile: "Whether or not I can enter the pavilion depends on whether Jin Yuan can take up this important task and benefit the common people and help the monarch, not what the old man wishes."

When Xiao Zhiyan heard this, he knew that Mrs. Xie, the old fox, was hesitating because he was worried that the account book would be offended by the eldest prince and the third prince if they were sent to Bianjing by their Xie family.

The corner of his lips smiled even more: "Master Xie's position as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is not guaranteed, I'm afraid Elder Xie still doesn't know, Master Xie's good son-in-law... Hualou ate too much wine and talked nonsense, and slandered the third prince's brother-in-law. The eldest prince and Concubine Gao! Your Majesty has always been soft-hearted, and has a deep relationship with Concubine Gao, if Concubine Gao cried, Xie Lao said... Will the royal father listen to Concubine Gao?"

Grandpa Xie rubbed his fingers on the corners of his clothes, but the expression on his face did not change.

Xiao Zhiyan tapped on the account book wrapped in sheepskin on the table: "This account book was sent to the father by the Xie family, it will undoubtedly offend the first prince and the third prince, but... it can prove to His Majesty the Xie family. He didn't show his favor to any prince in the process of winning the heirloom!"

Grandpa Xie looked at Xiao Zhiyan...

The emperor wanted to investigate the matter of shipping, but he did not send the loyal and direct officials of the court, but the second prince who had been ordered to go on an expedition to investigate the matter secretly.

There can only be two reasons!

Or, the emperor was afraid that the officials he dispatched were secretly the eldest prince or the third prince.

Or, it's the emperor...I don't want to be shameful.

If this ledger is sent to the emperor by the Xie family...

Grandpa Xie pursed his lips, thinking of Xiao Zhiyan's injury, without hesitating too much, nodded: "The Xie family has never joined any party, never before...and will never happen in the future, not afraid of offending the two A prince! As long as he is loyal to Da Ye, there is nothing Xie's can't do!"

The second prince finds the Xie family, and Xie family has to help him no matter what, otherwise, when the second prince is instructed in the future, His Majesty's eldest son will definitely be implicated.

Grandpa Xie was just thinking about how this thing should be delivered to His Majesty.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhiyan knew that Mr. Xie had agreed.

The smile on Xiao Zhiyan's lips deepened, and he stood up: "In this case, I will leave this matter to Elder Xie to deliver it to the royal father as soon as possible."

Grandpa Xie also stood up: "His Royal Highness is leaving? Let's bandage the wound!"
