Chapter 662: The Cabbages in Our Garden Are Being Eaten by Pigs
It was not until the two of them left the palace that Shen Shuyi spoke more freely.
"Master Xie, when do you think we should impeach Xiao Heyu and the Lu family for colluding with the Luo Kingdom, collaborating with the enemy and treason, and framing the entire Jiang family?"
Xie Jingchi stroked the red jade bracelet in his hand and said slowly, "Wait a little longer."
It often takes time for people's emotions to change. After all, as the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Emperor Qianwu has always been good to Xiao Heyu, so it's inevitable that he feels sorry for him.
At this time, if Emperor Qianwu is pushed too hard, it may backfire.
In other words, no matter whether it was him or Shen Shuyi, even if they could produce irrefutable evidence, as long as this irrefutable evidence forced Emperor Qianwu to kill his own son, he would definitely be unhappy and would then vent his anger on him and Shen Shuyi.
What's more, Emperor Qianwu has been holding the evidence in his hands for these days, but has been forbearing. It seems that he has not made up his mind yet. If Concubine Rou's behavior today had not angered him, he might have kept Xiao Heyu for some more time.
Now that Xiao Heyu has been demoted to a commoner, they should not act too hastily.
"Is there sufficient evidence that the Lu family and Xiao Heyu are colluding with the Luo Kingdom?" Shen Shuyi asked.
After all, she didn't have that many people and too much time to place her confidants around Lu Xiao and Xiao Heyu.
Therefore, the only evidence she could get that the Third Prince's party was colluding with the enemy country was the letters that Ge Tingxuan stole from the Ge family.
Yes, it was the letter that Lu Xiao wrote to him when he gave him instructions.
Although many times, Lu Xiao would sometimes send someone to deliver the message for the sake of caution, but the problem was, how could he ensure that the person who delivered the message was reliable every time?
So there is no wall that is impenetrable, and Lu Xiao will also give orders to the Ge and Chai families through letters.
Ge Tingxuan's father hid these letters secretly in case the Lu family turned against them one day and used them as shields.
Shen Shuyi handed over the letters that Ge Tingxuan stole to Xie Jingchi.
But these alone are not enough. The rest depends on Xie Jingchi.
Xie Jingchi smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, the evidence now is enough to convict the Lu family. Now, it depends on your majesty's wishes."
Shen Shuyi was dazzled by his smile. After being stunned for a moment, she also smiled.
Sometimes, I have to say that having a good teammate can make things more efficient.
Shen Shuyi couldn't help but think of her past life. Perhaps it was because Xiao Tingshan had never really believed in her, so that even though she planned everything for him, she still felt tired.
No matter what she did, she had to explain everything to him in detail, and even if he was unwilling, she would spend a lot of time and effort to convince him.
Is Xiao Tingshan stupid? Is he dumb?
No, on the contrary, he is actually very smart.
But his inherent inferiority and cowardice made him not trust anyone at all. He would repeatedly guess her every step, figure out her intentions, and doubt her purpose.
And then after she succeeds, not only will they not think she is right, but they will be even more wary of her.
As a result, she was naturally exhausted both physically and mentally.
But Xie Jingchi...always had the same thoughts as hers, or even a telepathic connection with her.
"This is the second time today that the county lady has lost her mind while staring at Xie." Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips and spoke with a smile.
Shen Shuyi came back to his senses and heard Xie Jingchi continue: "Could it be that the county lady finally discovered today that Xie is exceptionally handsome?"
Shen Shuyi chuckled and praised generously: "Master Xie has always been like the sun and the moon, bright and clear, dazzling and dazzling."
Xie Jingchi raised his eyebrows, and the curve of his mouth could hardly be suppressed.
"The county lady's eye disease has finally been cured."
Shen Shuyi: "..."
You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. If Xie Jingchi hadn't behaved in a manner that was not consistent with her words and deeds, she would almost think that he knew that she had been blind in her previous life just from this sentence.
"Why do you say that, Lord Xie?" Shen Shuyi curled up the corners of his lips, smiling for dear life, pretending to be listening attentively.
Xie Jingchi looked at Shen Shuyi with deep eyes and said slowly, "I just feel that the county lady has only discovered Xie's beauty today."
Shen Shuyi: "..."
"How was the interrogation of the Chai and Ge families?" Shen Shuyi asked again. After all, the Chai and Ge families were the main witnesses in accusing Jiang Yanhu.
Since the matter concerns the entire Jiang Li family, Shen Shuyi dare not take it lightly.
Xie Jingchi said in a deep voice: "It's a bit tough, but there should be a breakthrough today."
Shen Shuyi immediately understood the meaning of his words.
When the Chai and Ge families heard the news of Concubine Rou and Xiao Heyu's downfall, they would surely be uneasy and frightened. If they realized that there was no hope, the anger in their hearts would be lost.
"It's windy here. If the county lady wants to know anything else, you can send someone to ask." Xie Jingchi spoke in a deep voice and glanced at Qin Xin beside him.
Qin Xin came to her senses and immediately turned around to find a cloak from the carriage and handed it over.
Shen Shuyi looked at this scene, her almond-shaped eyes deep and motionless.
Xie Jingchi took the cloak, put it on Shen Shuyi, and tied it carefully: "You have injured your shoulder twice, and the old injury has not healed yet and you have a new one. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Thank you." Shen Shuyi spoke softly, and suddenly, he didn't know what to say.
*
Shen Shuyi turned around and got on the carriage. Xie Jingchi stood there until the carriage disappeared from his sight, then he turned around and left.
Sitting in the car, Jinzhu sighed and looked worried.
Shen Shuyi chuckled: "What's wrong with you? Could it be that what happened today scared you silly?"
"What's the matter, miss? I'm a little sad, a little sentimental, a little..." Jinzhu held her chin, not knowing what to say.
"Why are you sad?" Yuping was also puzzled.
"I feel like the cabbages in my own garden are being eaten by pigs!" Jinzhu pouted angrily.
Shen Shuyi: "..."
When the carriage had traveled halfway and passed Tianxiang Tower, it heard a familiar voice shouting.
"Hongxiu! Come down! Can you please see me? I know you are here!"
"Hongxiu...you promised to wait for me...can you please meet me..."
The voice was sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes with a crying tone and full of drunkenness.
Shen Shuyi lifted the car curtain and looked out.
Wang Xiao was holding a bottle of wine, his face was red from drinking. His hair was disheveled and his clothes seemed to have not been changed for several days. He was standing in front of the door of Tianxiang Tower, walking back and forth.
Occasionally, a few people on the road would stop to watch the excitement, but they seemed to be used to it and soon left after talking about it.
Seeing Shen Shuyi looking at her, Jin Zhu said, "Miss, this Master Wang Xiao is really a romantic man. It's already spring, and he still can't forget this Miss Hongxiu. I'm really curious about what kind of fairy Hongxiu is."
Shen Shuyi's eyes were indifferent. "Aristocratic families are full of romantic people. Ordinary people can't even take care of the daily necessities, so how can they have time for romance? Wang Taifu's family is small and simple. He has been blessed since he was young and has no worries about food and clothing. Only then is he qualified to be a romantic person."
