After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

County Palace.

Candles were lit in the four corners of the room, and the flickering candlelight made Xie Yunji's handsome eyes and eyebrows look a bit bizarre.

Besides him and the princess, there was another person in the room.

The man's brows were heavily pressed down, his eyes were dark and gloomy, and he exuded a determination to risk everything.

It was the Sixth Prince Xiao Shen.

He stood up, flicked the corner of his clothes, and said, "Then let's do as we agreed just now. It's just that Zi Che will have to suffer a little. Sister, please don't feel bad."

His Highness's achievements in the northern border are unstoppable. Although he is not the Queen's son, he has the title of "elder". Now he has military merits, so the balance in the Emperor's heart is inevitably tilted towards him.

How could Xiao Shen just sit there and wait for death?

Xie Yunji is favored by the emperor and is the aide to the future crown prince chosen by the emperor.

Although we don’t know who will eventually seize the East Palace, we have to make plans early.

"Will this self-torture trick really work? Brother Ziche, he, he will be sent to prison. Is it really necessary to put on such a show?" Princess Leyi couldn't help but ask. Although she knew that she couldn't change the fact that they had already agreed on, she didn't want Xie Yunji to suffer. "Even if it's a show and people know that he has fallen out with you, brother, so what? What if the crown prince is you in the future? Wouldn't Ziche have suffered in vain?"

"Given the current situation in the court, if I want to speak for His Highness, I have to clear myself first." Xie Yunji pondered, "My lord, don't worry too much. When I'm in prison, my lord, don't act rashly. Just take care of yourself outside and live your life as usual."

He didn't think there was anything special in his words, but to Le Yi, they sounded like an irresistible warmth.

In order to make better use of Xie Yunji as a chess piece, the Sixth Prince had to deliberately ask him to go to the government office to file a complaint against him, so as to sever the relationship between the two on the surface.

In this way, no matter who becomes the crown prince in the future, he will no longer think that Xie Yunji is his man. When Xie Yunji enters the East Palace's Zhanshi Mansion, it will be more convenient for him to act for him.

But according to the "Dazhao Code", if a minister sued a member of the royal family or an imperial family, regardless of whether the latter was guilty or not, the minister had to go to jail first, in order to show his power.

"Don't worry, I have arranged everything in the prison. Apart from a few beatings, I will not embarrass your good husband." The Sixth Prince smiled and said, "Le Yi, do you still not trust your Sixth Brother? I know the relationship between you and Zi Che best. How could I really let him go through such a dangerous situation?"

This is a win-win situation. No matter what the result is, the minister dares to sue the royal family. It shows his integrity and fearlessness of power.

As for the Sixth Prince Xiao Shen, it would be great if he could show his cowardice on purpose and then push the blame of Xie Yunji on a scapegoat. After that, he would punish that person and gain a reputation of being courteous to the wise and selfless.

Just looking at Le Yi's tearful expression, Xiao Shen regretted choosing the Princess's Mansion to meet Xie Yunji. It would be bad if this girl lost her composure and caused some trouble!

He said solemnly to Princess Le Yi: "Le Yi, you must keep this a secret and don't tell anyone. If you let this leak out, it will harm both your sixth brother and your brother Zi Che."

The princess seemed to be convinced. She looked up at Xie Yunji's calm face and nodded.

"I'm leaving first. You two can talk later." The Sixth Prince said with a smile, lifted his robe and left.

Originally, Xiao Shen knew the inside story of Song Nihuan's life experience, and Xie Yunji had never hidden it from him.

Later, seeing that Le Yi was really infatuated with Xie Yunji, Xiao Shen discussed this matter with Xie Yunji, hoping that Xie Yunji could persuade this cousin. Unexpectedly, Xie Yunji said shockingly: "The princess already knows the inside story between me and my wife, but she still doesn't want to let go. I can't do anything."

In this way, the three of them gathered together calmly.

In order to avoid suspicion, the Sixth Prince disappeared for a while. Just as Xie Yunji was about to go down the stairs, a soft body came up from behind.

His body stiffened, and he felt as if there were thorns in his back.

Princess Le Yi tightened her arms around his waist, "Brother Zi Che, why did you conspire with Sixth Brother? What if he can't become the crown prince?"

Hearing this, Xie Yunji's eyes became deep and his lips moved but he said nothing.

How could he not understand the Sixth Prince's calculations? He was just going along with the plan. If the Sixth Prince's power declined in the future and there was a drama of a minister suing a member of the royal family, there would be nothing wrong in clearing himself of the matter.

What's more, the Sixth Prince and he grew up together. The Sixth Prince's mother, Concubine Li, was a close friend of his mother, and the two often played together when his mother was alive.

He will do his best to help the Sixth Prince enter the Eastern Palace.

"You're worrying too much, Princess. The Sixth Prince is so handsome and has a great chance of winning." He said, suppressing his disgust for Le Yi and refraining from prying her hands open.

The situation is changing rapidly now. Princess Le Yi has a close relationship with the Queen Mother, so this chess piece would be wasted if not used well.

It's not time to completely cut off contact with her yet.

What's more, Le Yi is a daughter of a royal family. Commoners and ministers who want to sue royal family members must temper themselves first. This tells people to try not to conflict with royal family members.

Xie Yunji understood very early on that the so-called laws were meant to restrict ordinary people.

"But I'm still afraid. They all say that the Imperial Prison is not a place for people to stay." Le Yi sobbed, her face resting on his shoulder. "I don't know when I will see you next time. Please don't come back tonight, okay..."

He was stunned. Ever since Le Yi found out what he had done, she had always used it to threaten him. At first, she hugged and kissed him, and later, she even seduced him into her bed, implying that she was offering herself to her.

But how could he do that? Just the sight of her coming near made his hair stand on end.

If he had physical contact with her again, she would inevitably order him to divorce his wife and force him to remarry.

Thinking of his wife, his heart softened, and the places where he touched Le Yi felt like they were being pricked by needles.

He broke away from her, turned around and took her hand to comfort her: "How can I not go back? In the current situation, I have to go through so much trouble to sever my relationship with the Sixth Prince. If I stay at the Princess's Mansion tonight and this gets out, does the Princess think that there will still be a place for me in the House of the Emperor in the future?"

What His Majesty wants is loyal and honest ministers to accompany the Crown Prince, and first of all, they must not be involved with the royal family.

Le Yi knew that what he said made sense, but she also vaguely understood that his words were an excuse. It was just that looking at his bright and handsome appearance made her so moved that she didn't want to care about anything else.

Now their relationship is much closer than before.

She said aggrievedly: "Brother Zi Che, do you... have me in your heart? Do you want to spend your whole life with your wife?"

Xie Yunji looked cold and raised his lips awkwardly: "My Lord, you are asking knowingly. If I want to grow old with her, why haven't I had a child with her after nearly two years of marriage?"

Le Yi's expression relaxed, and a sweet feeling suddenly emerged in her heart. What he said was true, which was also the reason why she was always sure that he would come back and make love with her one day.

How can a couple get married for nearly two years without having a child?

He definitely didn't want a child to come between him and her.

He can be married, but he cannot be someone else's father.

She couldn't bear to raise a child he had with another woman.

"This is all I can do. If this is the case, Princess, you still cannot accept it..." He frowned, and a frost appeared on his handsome face. "It is an unchangeable fact that I have a wife. Princess, think about it carefully. There is really no need to waste time on me. It is better to find another good son-in-law as soon as possible."

A trace of resentment flashed across the princess's young and beautiful face, but soon disappeared. She said meekly, "I was overthinking it. Don't be angry, brother Zi Che. Do you want to go to my room for a cup of tea before you leave? I heard you say before that you liked Gu Zhuzhisun..."

He felt tired and did not respond to her question, saying, "It's getting late, Princess, you should rest."

Le Yi stared at him. The evening breeze blew gently, and the emotions in his eyes were like thick fog, with no bottom seen.
