The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

After saying that, Si Ling dragged Si Jian out of the house without saying a word.

"What are you doing! His Highness is still injured, and you actually agreed to let him go? Are you crazy?"

After leaving the house and arriving at the yard, Si Jian shook off Si Ling's hand, thinking that he would not disturb His Highness' rest, and glared at him with dissatisfaction. His face was serious, and he was obviously angry.

Si Ling looked at this wooden-headed man, rolled his eyes, grabbed him, and pulled him away before speaking.

"When will your wooden head start to change? Let me analyze it for you. The marriage between Miss Xie and Xiao Yusheng has been cancelled. What does this mean?"

Si Jian's mind was full of His Highness's injuries, how could he care about others? He said casually.

"It means that Miss Xie has escaped from the sea of ​​suffering and does not have to jump into the fire pit of Cheng'en Marquis Mansion. But what does His Highness Guan have to do with going to Qingfeng Academy tomorrow?"

"It's just to get information. Your Highness wants to know why the Fifth Prince wants to see Miss Xie, right? It's the same if I go there. I can bring back the news for Your Highness."

Si Ling looked disgusted.

"I think you are really stupid! Okay, don't say anything, listen to me explain. I tell you, the cancellation of Miss Xie's marriage with Xiao Yusheng does mean that Miss Xie has escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, but this is only one of the results."

"Another very important point is that Miss Xie has regained her marriageable status. Given the current situation of the Xie family, they will definitely find a better candidate for Miss Xie's fiancé, the kind that they will never let go of!"

Si Jian vaguely understood what Si Ling meant, but there was still a little bit to go, so he asked with a frown.

"and then?"

Si Ling forced a "kind" smile.

"And then? Think about it, Miss Xie will meet the Fifth Prince tomorrow. Who is the Fifth Prince? He is a talented man who is well-known in the capital. Moreover, he is a member of the royal family and looks... Tsk, not bad, right?"

"Although he is not as good as our prince, the fifth prince is deeply favored by the emperor. Even if he is not as qualified as the third prince and other powerful princes to compete for the throne, he is still a dragon among men. How many ladies in the capital want to marry him?"

Si Ling's face looked solemn.

“Although I don’t know why he helped this time, if it was really the Fifth Prince’s help that made the cancellation of the engagement go smoothly, regardless of whether the Fifth Prince has that kind of intention towards Miss Xie, what if Miss Xie is pregnant?”

"What if Miss Xie is grateful and after meeting the Fifth Prince, this gratitude turns into affection and she wants to marry him? What should Your Highness do? The Fifth Prince hasn't married yet! What a good son-in-law!"

"How can this be done!"

Si Jian finally figured it out, his face changed drastically, and he immediately became anxious.

This time, Si Ling didn't need to speak, Si Jian immediately frowned.

"No! We can't let Miss Xie meet the Fifth Prince. I have to go tell His Highness!"

"return!"

Si Ling was annoyed and grabbed Si Jian, then gave another "kind" smile.

"I say you are stupid, you are really stupid! What I said is just a guess, it may not come true. Besides, even if you tell His Highness, what use will it have except to make His Highness unhappy?"

"Should Your Highness prevent the Fifth Prince from meeting Miss Xie? What if Miss Xie and the Fifth Prince have some serious business, and Your Highness tries to sabotage it, and Miss Xie finds out about it in the future, wouldn't that be intentional to cause trouble for Your Highness?"

"This is not okay, that is not okay either, so why are you saying so much?"

Si Jian retorted unhappily.

Si Ling showed a confident expression.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I naturally have a way, so I pulled you out to discuss it."

After saying this, Si Ling crossed his arms over his chest, looking serious.

"Our Highness has done so much for Miss Xie. Wouldn't it be a pity if he couldn't marry her? Besides, His Highness has always been selfless. Apart from fighting on the battlefield, he has no interest in other people or things."

"It's rare to have a woman you like. As a subordinate, I will definitely make sure that Your Highness gets what he wants! This time, we must make every effort. If Your Highness hesitates any longer, the opportunity will be lost. In this way—"

As Si Jian was looking forward to it, Si Ling hooked his finger at him and said, "Come closer to my ear!"

Si Jian immediately came over and listened to Si Ling's arrangement. He looked up in surprise: "Is this really possible?"

Si Ling snorted coldly.

"Why not? Or are you afraid? Don't worry, as long as everything is arranged properly, nothing will go wrong. You don't have to worry about anything else. Just do what I tell you to do, and that's it. I won't make any mistakes anyway."

Si Jian was unconvinced and said, "I can't do that either!"

……

Outside the imperial study, Xiao Yuanshan was standing trembling with fear. He didn't dare to stand too straight. He hunched his body and felt uneasy.

Looking at the tightly closed door of the imperial study in front of me, I kept wondering what I would face when I went in.

How would the emperor deal with him? Would he dismiss him from office in a rage? Or would he reprimand him?

On the one hand, Xiao Yuanshan hoped that he would be given a lighter sentence, but on the other hand, he felt that it was unlikely.

After all, what Eunuch Qi said after delivering the imperial edict just now did not seem to be a good sign.

The emperor pointed out that I was a bad parent in front of so many people. How should I explain it later?

Xiao Yuanshan's mind was full of how to get out of this situation. At this moment, the door of the imperial study opened, and Eunuch Qi, who had come in to deliver a message, walked towards Xiao Yuanshan with very light footsteps.

"Lord Xiao."

Eunuch Qi shouted.

Xiao Yuanshan didn't react and was still immersed in his own worries. Eunuch Qi bent down and looked at Xiao Yuanshan's face, then his voice became louder.

"Lord Xiao!"

Xiao Yuanshan was startled, but when he saw Eunuch Qi's smiling face, his heart skipped a beat and he forced himself to force an ugly smile.

"Eunuch Qi."

Eunuch Qi turned slightly sideways and then raised his hand.

"Your Majesty, please come in."

Xiao Yuanshan hesitated and fumbled in his arms frantically. Finally, he found a silver note worth one hundred taels. He quickly stuffed it into Eunuch Qi's hand while still asking.

"Eunuch Qi, did the emperor say anything? Could you please give me some advice?"

Eunuch Qi took two steps back, with the smile on his face unchanged, but his attitude was firm.

"What are you doing, Lord Xiao? The Emperor is waiting for you, you'd better go in quickly."

Xiao Yuanshan naturally felt bad.

But the eunuch in front of him was not an ordinary eunuch, he was the eunuch who served the emperor.

What's more, now that they were outside the imperial study, the emperor might come to settle accounts with him. Xiao Yuanshan really didn't dare to lose his temper. He could only put on a stiff face and step inside.

do not care!

I'll make the best of it. If I stick my head out, I'll get a knife. If I hide my head, I'll get a knife too. I hope the emperor can forgive me a little, even for the sake of the third prince...

Eunuch Qi watched Xiao Yuanshan walk in with cold sweat on his forehead, walked forward to close the door of the imperial study, and stood guard at the door in an orderly manner with no emotion on his face.
