Chapter 68 The Princess Is Bullying Her Consort Again
Chapter 68 The princess is bullying the consort again
Although he heard that Xu Ruyi was a little sad when she learned that Lin Chengqing was killed in the palace, when he saw her in prison, he could not detect any sadness on her part. Even now, he cannot see her haggardness and sadness.
.
However, this does not mean that Lin Chengqing's death has something to do with her. Now there is no evidence. Even if someone suddenly jumps out one day to tell him who the real murderer is, it will not change anything, let alone let him
The official was reinstated.
He once remembered that Xu Ruyi had expressed her dissatisfaction with Jing Yu in front of Lin Chengqing, and even thought about making peace with Jing Yu.
If they are not getting along, it will definitely be beneficial to Jing Xi. He hopes that she can divorce quickly and be with Lin Chengqing again.
If she stayed by Jing Yu's side for too long, Jing Xi would be worried that she would make Jing Yu start to compete with him for the title.
It's a pity that Lin Chengqing died.
Moreover, now he is not as inevitable as before.
Xu Ruyi saw that Jing Xi still had a cold face and looked at them expressionlessly, but she was used to his cold face.
"Brother, this is the tea we brought you."
Jing Xi took a look at the tea leaves, which were different from the ones he gave to Lin Chengqing.
But she did have contact with Lin Chengqing twice and brought him tea. Outsiders didn't know whether the tea was brought by Xu Ruyi or Lin Chengqing's own. This is no longer true, but they did drink together at that time.
Tea.
Jing Xi really wanted to find out the case, so he asked, "Why did you think of bringing tea to me?"
He originally wanted Xu Ruyi to answer, but Jing Yu didn't like Jing Xi, so he said bluntly: "Didn't you say you like tea instead of wine? The princess specially selected the best Longjing for you, you
Don’t make trouble for no reason! Otherwise, next time we come to see you, we will be empty-handed and won’t give you anything!”
When Xu Ruyi heard this, she quickly patted Jing Yu and said, "Why are you talking to eldest brother?"
Jing Yu stopped talking when he saw that his sister-in-law was unhappy.
Xu Ruyi then said a little apologetically: "He just has this temper, I'm really sorry."
Jing Xi softly replied: "My prince understands me best about his younger brother. He is somewhat willful. As the eldest brother, I will certainly take good care of him."
Xu Ruyi nodded and expressed her gratitude.
But the moment their eyes met, Xu Ruyi noticed something was wrong with the way Jing Xi looked at her.
Xu Ruyi was very sensitive to this aspect and immediately became vigilant.
Jing Xi asked: "Do you know that this prince likes to drink tea?"
Xu Ruyi chuckled: "I have just married into the Marquis Mansion, and there are still many things I don't understand, so I asked others for help."
Jing Xi nodded and said, "My brothers and sisters are interested."
Xu Ruyi sighed: "This kind of thing happened to Editor Lin, which made me very sad, but I didn't expect that this matter actually involved my eldest brother. I have made my eldest brother suffer these days."
"It doesn't matter, this is the process of investigating the case. They just followed the rules and did not punish me in prison. Being able to come back now also proves my innocence. Let the past matter go by.
Now, I, the prince, should think hard about how to go about the future."
Xu Ruyi supported his idea and said: "If you need help, brother, just ask me. I will do my best to help you wherever I can."
"Then thank you so much, brothers and sisters."
When Xu Ruyi came over this time, she just had a few words with him. After a while, Jing Xi sent Xu Ruyi and Jing Yu out of the courtyard.
He said that he wanted to sit with Xiao Cao for a while, and that he had some things to discuss with Xiao Cao. In this case, Xu Ruyi stopped disturbing her and went straight back to the princess's house.
After returning to the princess's house, Jing Yu said somewhat sullenly: "I really don't understand, what on earth is he thinking? I gave him some tea, and he kept asking about it! What? He was dissatisfied
The tea we gave him was too cheap, or were we afraid that we would poison him?"
Xu Ruyi thought to herself: It is really possible that it is the latter!
Jing Xi is a thoughtful person, but it is a pity that this case has been concluded and the body has been buried. If he insists on opening the coffin for autopsy and retrying the case, no one in the civil and military circles will accept his favor, and he will not be able to change it.
result.
All he could change was the official's view and attitude towards him. An imperial edict demoted him to a remote rural area thousands of miles away as a county magistrate.
Only Jing Yu didn't know what was going on here, so he went to the kitchen to find some delicious food with a sullen look on his face.
But this time, Xu Ruyi followed him directly to the kitchen and said directly to Jing Yu: "I have to set a rule for you recently!"
Jing Yu was not in a good mood today, so he finally came over to eat something delicious, and was chased here by Xu Ruyi to set some rules.
He turned around and asked, "What are the rules?"
Xu Ruyi solemnly said: "From today on, you cannot leave the princess mansion without my permission!"
Jing Yu: "???"
How crazy is my sister-in-law?
This madness is inexplicable!
"Why?!"
"It's not peaceful outside recently. I'm afraid that if you go out, you'll either be beaten or kidnapped."
When Jing Yu heard this, his face was filled with confusion.
"What's so unfair? Isn't Lin Chengqing's case closed?"
Xu Ruyi replied: "You eat first, and when you finish eating, we will go back and talk slowly."
This makes it impossible for Jing Yu to eat? Isn't this deliberately messing with his mentality?
Jing Yu originally wanted to pull her into the room to ask her, but when he saw that he had just grabbed the duck legs and his hands were full of oil, he quickly washed his hands and then dragged Xu Ruyi towards the room.
As soon as they left, the cooks in the kitchen poked their heads out, curious to find out what happened.
Jing Yu was heard saying dissatisfiedly on the road: "Did I do something wrong again? Can't I change it? Why are you still grounded? Princess, you have gone too far!"
Jing Yu kept chattering all the way to the door of the inner room, which made everyone in the house think that the princess was bullying the consort again, so they did not seriously inquire about what was going on, as if they were worried about the phenomenon of the princess bullying the consort.
I'm used to it.
After entering the room, Xu Ruyi solemnly said: "I have something to explain to you clearly!"
After Xu Ruyi finished speaking, Jing Yu hurriedly turned back to confirm whether the door was closed tightly and whether anyone was eavesdropping outside. After confirming that everything was correct, he signaled to Xu Ruyi.
Xu Ruyi looked at his serious appearance and was a little surprised: "The young man is really quite good~"
Jing Yu said sarcastically: "As I said, my understanding has always been pretty good!"
"In this case, you must remember the next words clearly."
