Tyrant Whitewashing Plan [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 153
Xiao Jining could only see the two of them approaching, but they were so far apart that he couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.
"General Jing, can you hear them?" Xiao Jining hugged Jing Yuan's neck and whispered in his ear.
"Yes." Jing Yuan replied to Xiao Jining.
He looked at Ji Xingming and Xu Jiuqing with deep eyes, and the emotions in him were dark and hard to distinguish, just like Xu Jiuqing's eyes looking at Ji Xingming, which were full of too many complicated things.
But when Xu Jiuqing opened her mouth, she just said softly: "General Ji, I was in the Songzhu Pavilion just now, thank you for helping me out."
"You're welcome." Ji Xingming's tone was weaker than hers, "At least we got to know each other."
Hearing this, Xu Jiuqing laughed.
Her face was as cold as ice when she was not smiling, but as beautiful as peaches and plums when she was smiling, she was extremely beautiful when she laughed and angry, but the people in front of her couldn't appreciate her beauty.
Seeing that Ji Xingming didn't respond, Xu Jiuqing's smile gradually turned into a wry smile: "It's just an acquaintance?"
Ji Xingming's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his hand and handed Xu Jiuqing a stack of banknotes: "6 taels will save you, and the bonus of Huamama has been deducted, and these are what you have left."
"1 taels, the money in the brothel is really easy to earn." After taking it, Xu Jiuqing counted it, and laughed at herself, "Forget it, after all, I'm only here for seven days, and I'm not selling a death contract."
Ji Xingming said: "1 taels is enough for you to cure your sister's illness."
Holding the bank note, Xu Jiuqing lowered her head: "I know."
"Then take care of yourself." Ji Xingming turned around and left after saying these few words.
"Ji Xingming—" Xu Jiuqing stopped him, "Have you ever regretted following him?"
Although Ji Xingming stopped, he didn't look back.
"Although I hate the royal family, as long as the royal family doesn't mess with me, I won't make trouble for no reason." Xu Jiuqing took a deep breath and let it out slowly. The warm breath formed a thin breath in the autumn night. Bai Wu, "You and I are in the same family, you should know what I mean—"
"I'd rather gallop on the battlefield and die under the swords and arrows of the Huns than die in the capital where the music never stops."
Xu Jiuqing was still smiling, but there were tears in her eyes: "It's a pity... I no longer have that chance."
She asked Ji Xingming: "Aren't you tired of participating in the royal family's intrigue in the capital?"
Hearing this, Ji Xingming was finally willing to turn his head back, and he also smiled at Xu Jiuqing with curved lips.
But before the light in Xu Jiuqing's eyes rekindled, he said, "It's late at night, Miss Xu, be careful on the way home."
Afterwards, Ji Xingming left the ferry without looking back.
And the girl who was left at the ferry also turned around, looking at the boat at the ferry, wondering if the tears in her eyes would finally fall.
After returning to the palace, Jing Yuan repeated what they said at the ferry to Xiao Jining.
After Xiao Jining finished listening, he pouted his chin and said: "I listened to their conversation, why do they look like a pair of idiots and resentment?"
Jing Yuan said: "Ji Xing will be seven years older than Xu Jiuqing next year, and we used to play together when we were young."
With this explanation, Xiao Jining understood: "Oh, that's my childhood sweetheart."
It's no wonder that Ji Xingming would come out to rescue Xu Jiuqing. Since he has a childhood sweetheart, Ji Xingming is likely to help Xu Jiuqing no matter whether the Fifth Prince is there or not.
"No, no." But just after saying this, Xiao Jining shook his head in denial and said, "It's also possible that Ji Xingming was waiting there."
Xiao Jining always felt that today's affairs were all arranged.
He first had a dream, dreaming of the Songzhu Pavilion, and on the way to the Songzhu Pavilion, someone dropped spices to ensure that he would definitely go to the Songzhu Pavilion.
However, the Songzhu Pavilion had an oiran contest today, and the name of the oiran was taken away by Xu Jiuqing.It seemed that someone secretly wanted him to meet Xu Jiuqing today, know her life experience, and save her with compassion.
As for the sixth prince's making things difficult for Xu Jiuqing, it may not have been arranged in advance, but it must have been foreseen in advance. After all, the sixth prince hangs around the brothel all the year round, and there is an oiran competition in Songzhu Pavilion today. Everyone knows that the sixth prince will go.
Even Jingyuan got the clue to go back to the Songzhu Pavilion today, it seems that someone deliberately released the news.
So when he was in the Songzhu Pavilion, no matter how Xu Jiuqing was made things difficult by the Sixth Prince, he was indifferent, and Jing Yuan behaved the same as him, which made Xiao Jining more convinced of his guess.
"I don't know who is planning in secret. It's really vicious. If I rescue Xu Jiuqing that day, once my identity is exposed, the ministers and the people don't know what to say about me."
Xiao Jining shared these thoughts with Jing Yuan.
As a result, Jing Yuan glanced at him after listening, but said: "You are wrong."
Xiao Jining was startled when he heard the words, and Jing Yuan went on to say: "Even we will go to the ferry to take a peek, it was arranged by that person in advance."
"Since that person can guess that you might not make a move, or that I will stop you from saving someone. Then how could he not guess, we might go to the ferry to take a peek."
Xiao Jining asked again: "So what Xu Jiuqing and Ji Xingming said were all acted out for us?"
This time, Jing Yuan didn't answer Xiao Jining's question directly, he just said: "Even if it's acting, if you are in the play, you are the person in the play."
Xiao Jining seemed to understand, but he felt that he might not be able to really understand the matter until the truth of the matter came to light.
But before that, he had another matter to deal with - that was the trouble caused by the Sixth Prince in the Shochikukan.
In just two days, this matter was widely circulated in Beijing.
The common people lamented the new oiran, but it is unbelievable that a young man in a brothel dared to fight against the sixth prince and still get away with it. Relying on his status as a royal family to bully others, this kind of thing has never happened before, the sixth prince dared to be so arrogant, could it be the new emperor's acquiescence?
This story spread so quickly, Xiao Jining didn't know if he contributed to it, but Xiao Jining knew that he must not let it go on.
After the birthday banquet, he had already seen the emperor's prestige border country; and after the chaos in Li Xinggong ended, the ministers of the court saw that he could still control Jingyuan for his use, and he probably had some thoughts in his heart; , in the eyes of many people, he is still a gentle and easy-to-talk temperament.
Li Xinggong's warning to the Sixth Prince must have been almost forgotten. Since he has forgotten, then let him have a knife and tell him to remember.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the eldest princess Yaoguang, who had left the capital since the birthday banquet, also returned to Beijing, and the seventh and eighth princes were also on their way back to Beijing.
Xiao Ji Ning chose a day when all his arrivals were about the same, and invited the five princesses left behind by Emperor Yun Hong, as well as four, five, and six princes, to have a small reunion dinner together.
The first half of the banquet was fine. After waiting for a while, Xiao Jining looked around and saw that everyone had almost eaten, so he put down the fruit wine glass in his hand, propped his chin with his right hand, and lightly tapped the table with his left hand. Leisurely and lazy, the tone is soft and soft: "Brother Liu Huang—"
"Hey, Brother Nine Emperors." The sixth prince who was named looked at Xiao Jining immediately after hearing the sound, and after Xiao Jining toasted him, he also raised his glass to pay respects to Xiao Jining, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Xiao Jining asked him: "Brother Liu Huang, what do you think of the wine I prepared for you today?"
"It's delicious!" The Sixth Prince affirmed, "But this seems to be a fruit bar? Although the fruity fragrance is overflowing, the taste of the wine is very light."
Xiao Jining smiled and said, "Isn't I afraid that you are all drunk?"
"How can I get drunk with this kind of fruit wine?" The sixth prince patted his chest and said, "Even if it's strong wine, I won't get drunk if ten people drink it to me."
"It turns out that brother Liuhuang is so good at drinking, so I can rest assured." Xiao Jining still had a smile on his face when he said the first half of the sentence, but after he paused for a while, he spoke again, and the smile on his face was gone. , "Otherwise, I would have thought that you drank too much that day in the Songzhu Pavilion."
The sixth prince held up his wine glass, showing doubts on his face, he didn't realize what Xiao Jining was talking about for a while.
On the other hand, Yaoguang frowned after hearing the words "Songzhu Pavilion": "Songzhu Pavilion, what is that place?"
The third princess Wan Lan, who was also born as the queen with her, tugged at the corner of her sleeve, turned her head to her ear and whispered: "Miss Huang, that's a brothel."
"It's actually that kind of dirty place?!" Yaoguang's face immediately changed when he heard this, and his eyes turned to Xiao Jining, as if the person who went there was Xiao Jining.After all, if Xiao Jining had never been there, how would he know that the Sixth Prince had gone?
Xiao Jining was still half-supporting his head, and said to her: "You don't have to be surprised, Elder Sister, I will know about such a place, thanks to Brother Six. Not only I know, but almost all the people in the capital also know about it. Understood—I know that our Sixth Prince was entangled with a young man in a brothel. The eldest sister just arrived in the capital, and she never heard that these things are normal. When the father was there, the Sixth Brother was not so arrogant."
As soon as the word "arrogance" came out, the sixth prince knew that Xiao Jining was asking for a crime, and he himself knew what the rumors about this matter were in Beijing, so he immediately walked out of his seat and went to the center of the main hall Kneeling down, with cold sweat dripping from the corners of his forehead, he stammered, "Your Majesty...that's all a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Xiao Jining asked him back, "Then, my ears deceived me?"
"Entangled." Xiao Jining smiled coldly, "Do you know these four words, how much face did I give you to say that?"
The fourth prince and the fifth prince heard Xiao Jining say this, and the corners of their mouths also curled up into a disdainful smile——if Xiao Jining really gave the sixth prince face, he should look for the sixth prince in private, instead of gathering so many people from the royal family together. Find the sixth prince Xingshi to question the crime.
The reason for this is not difficult to understand, even if the sixth prince thinks about it afterward, he can understand it, but at the moment he has no time to think about other things, he just hastily defended: "Your Majesty, listen to my explanation! It's all about that." The fault of the poor servant girl is that she provoked me first! If she dared to provoke the royal family, it was already a favor for me not to kill her."
After finishing speaking, the sixth prince lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "And I didn't do anything to her..."
Xiao Jining asked him: "She provoked you first?"
"Yes." The Sixth Prince stiffened his neck, refusing to admit that it was his fault.
Xiao Jining laughed when he heard the words, and said softly to the Sixth Prince: "Okay, since it's her fault, then go and kill her."
"General Jing, can you hear them?" Xiao Jining hugged Jing Yuan's neck and whispered in his ear.
"Yes." Jing Yuan replied to Xiao Jining.
He looked at Ji Xingming and Xu Jiuqing with deep eyes, and the emotions in him were dark and hard to distinguish, just like Xu Jiuqing's eyes looking at Ji Xingming, which were full of too many complicated things.
