Madam, she is delicate and frail, and she must be pampered by the sinister prince.

Chapter 34 But Nie Huating is the wife I asked to marry, and I don’t want her to be in any danger.

Xu Di saw the person coming and said respectfully: "Master Hou!"

The eldest princess said angrily: "What are you doing? Is there any brother in the world who locks up his own brother? Please let these people release Su Yin quickly. Although he is a bit naughty, he is by no means evil. people!"

Xie Chongxiao said: "This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated before I can give my mother an answer."

"A thorough investigation, how do you want to conduct a thorough investigation?" The eldest princess looked at him, "Those bandits are just resenting you and plotting against you to kidnap Nie. What does this have to do with your brother?!"

Xie Chongxiao's lips curled into a sneer, "Then why were those people able to take Huating away so easily? Isn't there a spy?"

The eldest princess was slightly startled, and her tone softened a bit: "If they really want to kidnap someone, what's the difficulty? Besides, they arrested Nie and didn't do anything to her. Isn't she a good person? "

There was a hint of coldness in Xie Zhongxiao's eyes: "She fell into a trap one foot high, so she escaped. It was God's blessing that she didn't get into trouble, but the culprit behind it should be punished."

"The culprit?" the eldest princess screamed, "You said. You said my son is the culprit?"

These words seemed to greatly stimulate the eldest princess. She lost all grace in her manners. She rushed to Xie Zhongxiao and hit him hard: "You actually want to hurt my son?! Why did you do this?!"

Xie Chongxiao was not angry and just looked at her quietly.

The eldest princess cried and was pulled away by the maid beside her.

Pointing at Xie Chongxiao, he said: "If you don't let your brother go today, I will ask your father to write a letter tomorrow and ask the Holy One to severely punish you, an unfilial son!"

"Unfilial son?" The man's expression finally changed.

"You are unfilial to your son and unkind to your brother. Whose power do you think you are relying on? It's just because of me and your father!" The eldest princess looked at him, "If you don't let your brother go today, what will happen to you in the future?" Is the Marquis still doing things steadily?"

Xie Chongxiao was so angry that he smiled back: "Mother is right, your son's wealth and honor are all given by you and his father."

"But Nie Huating is innocent."

"My mother begged for this title. If she wanted to, she could have killed me."

His words were indifferent, but they made people's hearts tremble.

Xu Di quickly dissuaded him and said anxiously: "Master Hou!"

Others in the county government did not dare to speak for fear of getting angry.

The eldest princess snorted coldly: "Do you think I dare not? Who are you threatening? I am the late emperor's sworn sister and your Majesty's aunt. Isn't everything you have given me? Don't think that I will take advantage of you." There is no other way, do you think you can cover the sky with just one hand now?"

The mother and son refused to give in to the other, and Xu Di watched from the side with heartbreak.

It seems that the eldest princess will not give up until she takes away the second young master today.

At this moment, a huge group of people came outside the door——

The leading eunuch held a golden imperial pen and shouted loudly: "The imperial edict has arrived!"

Although the Ruyang County Government Office is close to Luoyang, there has never been such a grand event. The group of people knelt down one after another and held their breath, no one dared to speak.

The eunuch's voice reached everyone's ears: "Your Majesty has personally written that bandits are rampant in Ruyang County. Today, Changping Marquis Xie Chongxiao and Ruyang County Magistrate Yao Mengwang have made great contributions in eliminating bandits. I hereby commend them."

"The rest of the thieves will be escorted into Dali Temple by the Royal Forest Army and set off immediately, without any mistakes!"

The eldest princess suddenly raised her head, her eyes frightened, her face turned pale with fright: "What?"

Does Your Majesty mean that Su Yin will also be taken to Dali Temple? !
The eunuch finished reading Yubi and said, "Then there is the magistrate of Laoyao County."

Magistrate Yao didn't expect that he, a seventh-grade official, could receive the imperial edict, and he became more and more respectful: "I don't dare, thank you so much, father-in-law."

The eldest princess suddenly stood up: "How could it be possible?! My son must not be locked up. He is not a bandit. He is the legitimate son of the Duke of Guo and the future Duke of Guo!"

The eunuch had a perfect smile and a respectful attitude: "Princess, this is your Majesty's will."

"I want to enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit!"

"Oh, Your Majesty said, today we are busy with government affairs, so we won't see anyone here."

The eldest princess's feet softened and she almost fell to the ground.

Although she is not the Holy Emperor's biological aunt, she is still a real princess.

How come the Holy One doesn't even care about this kind of kindness?

The eunuch looked at her and then walked to Xie Chongxiao. "Master Marquis, the Holy One also said that you should enter the palace as soon as possible to meet the Holy One."

"The minister obeys the order."

The eunuch smiled and said, "We have finished what we have said. If the Marquis has no other instructions, we will leave first."

After the group left, Xie Chongxiao ordered the imperial guards to send all the bandits to Dali Temple.

Master Yao did not delay and immediately went down to do things.

He didn't dare not do it. There was no need to bother Dali Temple with the affairs of a few bandits.

This is clearly the Second Young Master Jiang's plot to harm his brother and sister-in-law. Your Majesty favors the Marquis and supports him.

The eldest princess was anxious and said in an urgent voice: "Chongxiao, Chongxiao, when you face the saint, you must intercede for your brother. He is definitely not a treacherous person. You are his brother. How can you watch him suffer?" Woolen cloth"

Xie Chongxiao did not waver and said clearly: "If mother continues to indulge, she will really harm her second brother."

What he means is that he will not plead for Jiang Suyin and will deal with it impartially!
The eldest princess felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, "Why are you so cruel?"

Xie Zhongxiao's eyes flashed, as if he was thinking about her words.

Cruel, is he really cruel?
"Master Hou!"

At this time, a familiar voice came——

Xie Chongxiao turned around and saw Nie Huating trotting over. She was running very fast, her face was covered with sweat and her cheeks were slightly red.

She should have just washed up, changed into clean clothes, and braided her hair again.

"How did you come?"

Nie Huating bit her lower lip. She knew Xie Chongxiao was busy with business, but she couldn't see him, and she felt anxious.

"I don't trust you."

It's a simple concern, but it makes people's hearts warm.

Xie Chongxiao felt something stuck in his throat, and after a long while he said, "Don't worry, I will go find you when things are finished."

But too many things happened in the past few days, and Nie Huating always felt flustered.

Afraid that something might happen to him, afraid that it is easy to hide from an open gun and difficult to defend against a hidden arrow.

Nie Huating's eyes were attracted by the wound on the man's shoulder, and he panicked for a moment: "What kind of injury is this? Is it bleeding a lot?"

He was wearing black clothes, but the patch on his shoulder was clearly sticking to his flesh.

Must be painful.

In fact, Xie Zhongxiao didn't feel much pain - after all, it hadn't hurt since he was a child. The injury was just bleeding and not fatal, so it didn't matter.

It's funny to say that because of the care of a weak woman, this injury actually hurts.

"Well, it hurts."

Nie Huating's heart tightened, "Okay, let's go."

The eldest princess stopped the two of them, "How do you two behave like brother and sister-in-law? Now that Su Yin is like this, do you really not care?!"

She was emotional, and Xie Zhongxiao's eyes flashed with exhaustion.

He didn't bother to explain.

The petite woman stood in front of Xie Zhongxiao, her voice gentle but firm:
"Mother-in-law, Zhongxiao is injured. If you plead for mercy like this, you must at least wait until your son's wound has healed!"

Nie Huating's eyes were calm, so calm that they were cold.

The eldest princess was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Nie Huating really didn't understand what Xie Chongxiao had to do to satisfy the eldest princess as a mother.

Holding his little hand, she said to him: "Let's go back."
