Chapter 457 Price
Having said that, Ren Yi has been holding the box in both hands, and it seems that she has indeed been "pleased".

The importance of the late emperor in Ren Yi's heart can be seen.

Xia Qingyang: "Your Highness, can I have a look?"

Even when Xia Qingyang asked to take a look at the mirror, Ren Yi hesitated.

"The carriage shakes, so be careful not to bump into it."

After handing the box to Xia Qingyang, Ren Yi was still feeling emotional, "I have heard about this mirror before. It was presented to my father by Dongyuan Kingdom many years ago when other countries were still paying pilgrimage to our country. It is said that the mirror surface is Made of extremely rare materials, it is much clearer than hand-polished mirrors, and many important ministers wanted it at the time. Unexpectedly, it ended up in Fan Xi's hands."

Xia Qingyang kept his hands steady. After opening the box, he found that this mirror was indeed special.

It looks a bit like a woman's vanity mirror, with a handle underneath. The handle body should be made of precious metals such as silver. The mirror surface is clear and reflective, almost approaching a modern glass mirror.

Xia Qingyang carefully held the silver handle and took out the mirror, wanting to take a closer look at the patterns on it.

But before he could take a closer look, he heard Lao Xu who was sitting next to him let out an ah.

"This Fan Xi, how courageous, he didn't take good care of the precious mirror given to him by the late emperor, and made the handle like this!"

Ren Yi and Xia Qingyang were stunned at the same time, and turned it over to see that, indeed, the end of the handle of the mirror seemed to have been severely bumped, it was dented in several places, and the dents were extremely irregular.

You can't see it when you hold it upright, but when you turn it over and take a closer look, it's ugly.

At this time, the carriage jolted, and Xia Qingyang quickly put the mirror back into the box covered with velvet to avoid secondary damage.

"Your Highness, don't let Fan Xi just buy you off like this. You don't care about what you say, and you don't care what he thinks in his heart. He is not respectful enough in this action!"

Ren Yi was silent for a moment: "No one is perfect when it comes to his heart but not his deeds. Lao Xu, don't say any more."

"But Your Highness..."

Old Xu was anxious, thinking that Ren Yi was on Fan Xi's side.

But Xia Qingyang could see that Ren Yi should also have other thoughts about this too tragic handle.

This level of dents does not seem to be caused by bumps, but rather seems to be made on purpose.

Also, both the handle and the mirror are in good condition, and it can even be seen that they have been carefully cleaned and maintained. How can only the handle become like this.

Xia Qingyang pondered for a long time without success, but when she looked up, she found that Ren Yi was also looking at her.

The two looked at each other, and they both had a lot of thoughts about each other.
-
At this moment, the City Lord's Mansion of Luoshu City.

Fan Xi still sat at the desk and worked like that night.It's just that this time, he removed the screen, so that the wife of the city lord, who had just finished drinking the medicine and lay down, could see him at a glance whenever she opened her eyes.

"Brother Jin." The city owner's wife called softly.

Fan Xi immediately put down his pen and walked over: "What's the matter, Susu."

Fan Jin was Fan Xi's name when he first became an official, and it was changed to Fan Xi later.So his wife is still used to calling him Brother Jin when there is no one around.

"Brother Jin." The city lord's wife read again before slowly opening her eyes, "What price did you promise to others to save me this time?"

Fan Xi was taken aback: "Susu..."

"Do you think that I don't know anything?" The lady of the city lord stretched out her hand, and waited for Fan Xi to rush over to help her before she sat up and said in a hoarse voice, "What you did ten years ago, there is still a year left." I know everything about the past... Cough, cough, cough... I know why you married Yue'er into Prime Minister You's house..."

"Good Susu, stop talking, I'll get you some water."

Fan Xi couldn't care less about the surprise of the secret being revealed, he was anxious to pour water for her, but she grabbed her.

"I don't blame you." The lady of the city owner took a few deep breaths, "Ten years ago, you made a mistake to protect me and Yue'er, and it will be the same ten years later. I am the least qualified to blame you. But, but You also have to remember that you are the parent official of the Dachun Kingdom. 'As soon as you become an official, you have to act upright and sit upright, and you can't let the people poke your back', isn't that what you said to me when you first became an official?"

When these words fell into Fan Xi's ears, it was as if a thunderbolt struck him.

He was dumb for a long time and couldn't speak a word.

"...But in fact, I'm also cowardly and cowardly." After a while, the wife of the city lord smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't pretend to be ignorant for ten years and let you bear a lot by yourself."

"Don't say that." Fan Xi was almost crying at Madam's heartfelt words. He leaned over and hugged her, and kept apologizing and explaining, "I am the weak one, I am the one who is wrong, but I , I really don’t know what to do... In that case, is it true that our family’s death in vain is the choice of loyalty??? But, even if we die, those secrets will still be revealed by other kings. Xi' and 'Li Xi' are suppressed, our death is meaningless, and will not even be known by the world..."

The mayor's wife patted Fan Xi on the back.After a long time, Fan Xi straightened up to relieve his emotions, while the mayor's wife took out something from under the pillow.

"Brother Jin, look at this."

What the city lord's wife was holding was a small rattle.

Yes, this is their daughter, Juanjuan, who painted the rattle of "Tigers Protecting Small Animals" with love.

I was bumped into by Ren Yi before.

The wife of the city lord: "Juanjuan just brought it to me, saying that you are very busy these days, she can't find you, so let me hand it over to you."

Fan Xi took the rattle and shook it lightly, the surface of the drum was hammered with a clear and crisp sound.The silly little tiger on the drum vibrated slightly, as if it was really roaring in the mountains and forests.

Fan Xi's shoulders suddenly shrugged: "Susu, tell me, can the eldest princess make the people live a better life?"

"Well, just now I heard people say something about the past two days. Her Royal Highness, the Princess, loves the people like a child and has great courage. If she is not a woman, she must be able to accomplish something great."

Fan Xi nodded, sat down, sighed deeply, and unconsciously shook the rattle in his hand.

That's good, that's good.

Even my wife said so, so it should be possible.

Although, Ren Fu ten years ago was also coaxed by such a "Cheng Hong Daoist" who claimed to be able to master immortal arts, causing Dachun people to live in distress.

But the man in the bamboo hat next to Ren Yi named "Qingyang Layman" seemed different.

...Of course, even if Layman Qingyang has second thoughts, Fan Xi can't help it.

He has done what he can.

Next, let Layman Qingyang and Daoist Na Chenghong fight.

He just wants to spend the rest of his life here with his wife and daughter in peace.

That's enough.
-
something unexpected may happen any time.Sometimes no one can predict what will happen in the next moment.

When Xia Qingyang heard the news that "the Lord of Luoshu City was assassinated in his mansion and his whole family died", the group of them were resting in a small county town.
