As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 202
"Oh?"

Emperor Xuanwu raised his gray eyebrows and asked Li Desheng sideways: "What's going on?"

Li Desheng quickly replied: "I'm not sure about this yet."

"I know what's going on." The concubine on one side sighed and said, "Yunshan brought a mastiff into the palace today and scratched Yao'er's maid——"

"When I and Zhao Zhao left, the mastiff dog was still biting Yao'er. In order to save Yao'er, Zhao Zhao beat the mastiff dog out. In a moment of urgency, he struck harder, and the mastiff died suddenly. Yun Shan became anxious. , just...fainted."

Concubine Xian was conservative in what she said, but Emperor Xuanwu heard the clues.

I'm afraid I didn't faint, but got sick!
"Why can Yunshan bring dogs into the palace?" Emperor Xuanwu asked slowly: "If I remember correctly, the noble ladies of the clan who come to the palace for a banquet are only allowed to bring two maids? How come the mastiff is a maid?"

"Yes, that's what the emperor said." Li Desheng quickly replied: "It must be that the boys below are not serious about their work, and this is why such a flaw happened. I will definitely investigate and punish him severely after the banquet is over!"

Emperor Xuanwu snorted coldly, his eyes swept over Xie Zhaozhao, and finally landed on Prince Liang not far away.

If it weren't for the fact that King Liang was so powerful and the eunuchs in the palace were afraid, how could they have allowed Yunshan to bring the mastiff into the palace.

If he hadn't doted on Yun Shan wantonly and left her unchecked, Yun Shan wouldn't have dared to let her dog go to bully Yun Yao, who was also the princess.

Prince Liang frowned and stood up immediately, "It's because my daughter-in-law has not been strict in controlling her. Please calm down your anger. I will teach her well when I return home."

"It does need to be taught well."

Emperor Xuanwu meant something, "Since we are both of royal blood, we should look after each other, be friendly and respectful, and keep the elders and younger ones in order."

King Liang's expression changed again, "My son, please bear this in mind."

When King Liang returned to his seat, his expression when he looked at Xie Zhaozhao became even more gloomy and ugly, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Emperor Xuanwu's eyes fell back on Xie Zhaozhao. Seeing that she was still neither humble nor arrogant, calm and peaceful, a little smile flashed in his heart.

The emperor has many things to do, and he only saw Xie Zhaozhao once or twice a year in the past.

Coupled with Yun Qi's entanglement with Xie Zhaozhao, Emperor Xuanwu actually didn't have a good impression of Xie Zhaozhao.

But today he saw the intelligence of this little girl Xie Zhaozhao.

Rewards are but temptations.

If she asked him to transfer Xie Wei back to the capital, or if she was frightened by the power of the emperor and asked for anything casually, that would be stupidity and really not worthy of Yun Qi's concern.

But Xie Zhaozhao handled it well.

In two simple words, he did not claim credit, but instead defeated King Liang's army.

If in the future the King of Liang embarrasses Xie Zhaozhao about the mastiff, he will be disobeying the imperial edict.

The royal family needs a strong wife and family to work together, and it also needs a woman who is smart and sensible and knows how to advance and retreat.

Yun Qi's vision is pretty good.

Emperor Xuanwu said calmly: "You have made a great contribution to saving the prince. This mastiff incident is just a small matter. Besides, you saved Yao'er. It is not a fault, but a merit."

"How can this be called a balance of merit and demerit? If I wipe out your contribution like this, wouldn't everyone in the world call me an old fool?"

"Let's do this. I'll make Xie Zhaozhao the lord of Yuanyi County and earn a thousand dan per year."

Everyone at the banquet was in an uproar.

The Qin Dynasty had a clear system, and the emperor's princess only had a salary of one thousand dan per year.

This Xie Zhaozhao has made a county head and has a salary of one thousand stone per year?

Xie Zhaozhao felt the unpredictable gazes cast towards him by everyone, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh at Jun En's discomfort.

The kindness of a talented and strategic emperor like Emperor Xuanwu is even more uncomfortable.

"Why, you don't want to?" Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think this reward is too light?"

"..."

Xie Zhaozhao was silent, knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, thank you for your kindness."

After thanking her, Xie Zhaozhao sat back down next to Concubine Xian.

The banquet is still going on, but the rest of the people at the banquet have complicated thoughts.Pingzhang Hou Chen Zhiyuan's smile had frozen on his face.

The Holy Spirit praised Xie Zhaozhao so much. Could it be that he wanted to follow Yun Qi's wishes and give Xie Zhaozhao to him?
If so, what should Shulan do!
Given the status of the Chen family and the Xie family in the court, even Yun Qi's status could not bear to marry them both at the same time.

Although Chen Zhiyuan contacted King Liang, the prince's status is now stable, and Yun Qi has a bright future.

Chen Zhiyuan is actually swaying from side to side.

After all, it is very difficult to support King Liang.

If Yun Qi and Chen Shulan's marriage can be settled, everyone will naturally be happy.

But now, what does this count?
Chen Shulan's face was calm, but she was a little excited in her heart.

She wished that she had nothing to do with Yun Qi and was happy to see Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao together.

The prince smiled slightly and was very satisfied with Xie Zhaozhao's reaction.

But then he remembered that Yun Yao was frightened, and frowned again.

Yun Qi, who was sitting not far away, breathed a long sigh of relief and laughed to himself. He was really making a fuss.

How could a person as smart as Xie Zhaozhao be unable to cope with such a small scene?
At a banquet, everyone has different thoughts.

When the banquet was over and he left the palace and got into the carriage, Xie Zhaozhao breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's true that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger."

"Miss is smart and dealt with it very well. She made it easy tonight." Hongxiu said with a smile: "After being granted the title of County Lord, I still have a salary. From tomorrow on, no one in Beijing will dare to look down on Miss."

"Is it?"

Xie Zhaozhao frowned: "Playing tricks with these people is actually a very tiring thing."

Hongxiu was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said: "Forget it, the Xie family and I are both in the game anyway, so it is meaningless to lament that these are true."

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

Even if the Xie family and the Kaiping Palace don't want to get involved in the muddy waters, others won't be able to let them off easily.

It is better to take retreat as a way to advance and move forward courageously.

……

King Liang was in a very bad mood after returning home.

Yunshan has been sent back to her house and is now asleep.

The steward asked King Liang in a low voice if he wanted to go over and take a look, but King Liang shouted back.

see?
Look at what!

Because of that stinky girl, he was beaten openly and secretly by his father to tell him to be in peace.

But why should he be content?
Besides, Yunshan was ill this time.

King Liang once watched his mother fall ill and hit a pillar and die. He could never forget that scene and hated the incurable disease in his body.

Anyone who dares to mention anything in front of him, or even looks at him with a slightly strange look, will be killed immediately without mercy.

Why would I want to visit Yunshan now?

"Xie Zhaozhao!"

King Liang said in a deep voice, "Bitch!"

If it weren't for her, tonight wouldn't be such a mess.

King Liang then recalled the news he had learned from the maids who tortured Xie Xingchen earlier. It turned out that it was Xie Zhaozhao who instigated Xie Xingchen to bring the child to the Water and Land Conference.

This bitch!

Together with Yun Qi, he harmed him again and again!
The slight interest Prince Liang had in Xie Zhaozhao tonight completely disappeared, and now there is murderous intent in his eyes.
