The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 176 Surrender

Gan Zixu got up and kowtowed to Xue Qingyin, crying, "Why does the princess have to make things difficult for a villain?"

There were some blood marks on his forehead on the stone slab.

If others saw it, they would definitely think that it was okay, why did it have to be like this...

But Xue Qingyin had just learned a truth from King Xuan last night.

She was puzzled at the time, so she asked King Xuan, knowing that Gan Zixu's wife died here, he had stayed here for many years and refused to change his residence. He sounded like a pitiful person...

Why did King Xuan still have no expression on his face, and drew his sword when he said he would draw his sword.

"You look a little pitiful." Xue Qingyin said softly.

Gan Zixu breathed a sigh of relief, but not completely.

Most women are soft-hearted, so they naturally can't bear to see him do this.

But with this person in front of him...it's a bit hard to say.

"...but what does it have to do with what I want to do?" Xue Qingyin finished the second half of the sentence.

This is what King Xuan told her: "If you are hesitant about what you are going to do because the other person is pitiful and miserable, this is not distinguishing the main from the secondary."

Xue Qingyin immediately put what she learned into practice.

Gan Zixu's expression froze for a moment.

He now regretted inviting the person back home. If he had known this, he would have just pretended that King Xuan had passed by.

"Get up first, I'll ask you again, are you very close to your wife?" Xue Qingyin spoke again.

Gan Zixu was stunned.

What she said now was completely unrelated to what she said before.

But Gan Zixu was not shy about talking about these things, so he got up and told the truth: "I have a very good relationship with her."

"I heard from His Highness that she is a Qiang girl. I heard that Qiang girls are mostly capable..."

"Yes. Their tribe still has the tradition of matriarchal clans, and there is no taboo about showing up in public. She chose me herself."

"Then she picked herbs to support you?"

Gan Zixu knew that she had probably heard it from King Xuan, so he did not deny it and just smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes..."

"What herbs did she pick?"

Gan Zixu felt strange, but still answered: "Gastrodia elata, Polygonatum sibiricum, Eucommia ulmoides..."

"They are all very precious medicinal materials." Xue Qingyin said with a smile: "Now you rely on the mountains to make a living, why worry about money? Just sell those medicines to various places."

Gan Zixu's heart tightened.

Why is this Princess Xuan lying in one sentence after another?

"Princess, I'm sorry to make you laugh. I can't identify medicinal herbs. Only my wife can." Gan Zixu laughed.

"Is it dangerous to collect herbs?" Xue Qingyin changed the subject again.

"Yes, yes."

"Then your wife must have suffered a lot."

"Yes, alas..." Gan Zixu showed a nostalgic look.

"No wonder you can't forget her in your heart." Xue Qingyin sighed.

Gan Zixu hurriedly complimented: "Princess and His Royal Highness Xuan Wang also have a deep relationship..."

He just said this.

Xue Qingyin changed the subject again: "If I dig up your wife's grave, you must be more uncomfortable than death?"

Gan Zixu's honest and simple expression on his face finally slowly cracked.

"This... this..."

Xue Qingyin was surprised: "Why? Didn't those people think of using this method to interrogate you before?"

Gan Zixu's face twitched, and he squeezed out a voice with difficulty: "They are all gentlemen, how could they..."

"That's great, fortunately I'm not a gentleman." Xue Qingyin said happily.

Gan Zixu: "..."

Xue Qingyin felt that Gan Zixu was thicker-skinned than her.

Gan Zixu felt that she was even more shameless than him.

"This, this is a vicious act. If it is reported to the government, it is not justifiable." Gan Zixu stuttered.

"Do you know what people in Beijing say about me?" Xue Qingyin asked him back.

Gan Zixu: "...I don't know."

"They say that I am very arrogant and have a bad temper. I was already such a name before I got married. Now that I am the Princess of Xuan, it is natural that I can only be more arrogant." Xue Qingyin analyzed it carefully for him.

Gan Zixu... convinced.

He struggled to death and said, "Your Highness is known for his integrity. If he knew the vicious side of the princess, he would probably be unhappy with her..."

"What do you know? Do you know what a femme fatale is? Like me. He likes me very much."

"..."

Gan Zixu bowed his head and said, "I... I am willing to offer 300,000 taels. Please forgive my wife."

Gan Zixu was crying.

Nong Xia on the side couldn't bear it. She secretly wondered in her heart, is the girl too cruel?

But fortunately, the little girl was still in the same mind as Xue Qingyin. Although she couldn't bear it, she didn't say anything.

Xue Qingyin chuckled and stood up and said, "Let's go. It's time to have lunch."

This made Gan Zixu feel uneasy.

In the past, those who dealt with him were all people of noble status. Even if he was not a gentleman in his bones, he pretended to be a gentleman on the surface.

Naturally, there was nothing he could do to this villain.

What about the Xuan Wang Consort?

She looked noble, but she was even more unreasonable than him.

The Xuan Wang walked around the streets of Xingzhou and also went to the mountains.

When he came back, he saw Gan Zixu sitting there with a sad face. As soon as he saw him, he wanted to complain: "Your Highness! Your Highness, help me!"

The Xuan Wang couldn't help but glance at Xue Qingyin.

Xue Qingyin winked at him, her eyebrows and eyes were lively and somewhat seductive.

The Xuan Wang looked back: "Who wants to kill you? Aren't you not afraid of death?"

"No, no, it's not to save my life, but my wife, she has been dead for many years. Now the princess wants to make her soul restless, the princess, she, she wants to dig her grave!"

King Xuan said coldly: "How dare you slander the princess?"

Gan Zixu:?

He knew in his heart that it was hopeless to complain.

King Xuan really favored his princess.

But he still struggled again: "Everyone around heard it, it's not the villain who slandered..."

King Xuan asked the soldiers around him in a light tone: "Did you hear it?"

The soldiers in armor said loudly: "I didn't hear it!" The sound shook the sky.

Gan Zixu wiped his tears, sat alone on the doorstep, and whispered: "I just want to protect her, just want to protect her... Qian I don't want to spend a penny, save it all for her, save it all for her..."

Nong Xia frowned and felt even more sad.

Xue Qingyin asked, "What food did Your Highness bring back from the market today?"

She acted as if she didn't hear Gan Zixu's voice.

The King Xuan immediately ordered someone to bring the food.

The two sat there and ate slowly, and drank a few sips of tea.

The fragrance of orchids filled the entire flower hall.

Gan Zixu sat there with a gloomy face, and couldn't cry anymore.

Not long after, the palace servant brought a copper basin.

Xue Qingyin washed her hands, and then slowly dried them, and then stood up and said, "Your Highness, please accompany me for a rest."

The King Xuan responded.

Gan Zixu was really surprised that the King Xuan had such a good temper.

He actually really wanted everything from the King Xuan's wife.

Did she really come true? The King Xuan liked femme fatales?

Prince Xuan and Xue Qingyin walked out of the door. When they passed by Gan Zixu, Gan Zixu couldn't help but call out: "Your Highness..."

Prince Xuan didn't look at him, and went straight back to the house with Xue Qingyin.

As soon as he entered the door, Prince Xuan said: "If the emperor saw what happened today, he would be very satisfied."

It can be seen that Emperor Liang De was often angered by Gan Zixu.

Xue Qingyin said with a smile: "Then please write a letter to praise me."

King Xuan did not think this was a trivial matter, he responded seriously: "Okay."

Xue Qingyin sat down and asked: "Did your highness see anything strange on the mountain?"

"No. The forest is dense. If you want to find out clearly, you need to spend some time and have a local to lead the way." King Xuan paused, "Is Yinyin still suspicious?"

Xue Qingyin curled her lips: "Yesterday I really believed that he stayed here for his wife. But today I cheated him and I knew it was wrong."

"There must be something shady here, and its weight is far greater than the 800,000 taels."
