Faced with her suspicion, Xie Zhan couldn't help but feel a little angry, "Do you think, in your heart, I just can't walk around when I see a woman?"

He has seen countless beauties since he was a child. The temptation that is irresistible to others is ordinary in front of Xie Zhan. He has known since he was a child that the more beautiful a woman is, the more vicious her heart will be, so he chooses to spend his life together.

When selecting someone, beauty is never the first factor for Xie Zhan.

What he was always concerned about was whether the person had ulterior motives for contacting him and whether he came with a purpose. As for anything else, it didn't matter.

Mingxiu couldn't help but be surprised. In her opinion, no matter men or women, it is difficult to escape the trap of beauty. Is Xie Zhan an exception?

Although she didn't say anything, her expression already expressed suspicion.

Regarding this, Xie Zhan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "How many beauties have I seen since I was a child? Miss Shu's appearance is not even among the top ten. How can she have the face to make me feel soft?!"

Apart from his mother, Princess Zhen, the only woman who made him feel soft-hearted was Mingxiu.

Xie Zhan's own words prove his innocence, he is not such a person.

But when it fell into Mingxiu's ears, it had a different meaning.

It's not that Xie Zhan has Liu Xiahui's courage to remain calm while still pregnant, it's because Shu Wenqi's appearance is not beautiful enough.

Mingxiu couldn't tell what her attitude was, but anyway... she felt relieved about Shu Wenqi.

Skipping this matter, Mingxiu asked again: "Didn't you say that it's better not to act rashly now, so as not to alert others? Why..."

Now that you are treating Shu Wenqi like this, aren't you worried that Mr. Shu will become suspicious of Xie Zhan?

"Who is Ms. Shu?" Xie Zhan sneered. How could Shu Wenqi, a mere Shu Wenqi, be forced to betray her lust? Even if you think about it, it's impossible. "I am only slightly close to you. Who is this Mandu city?"

I don’t know? Miss Shu offended me, does Mr. Shu still want to seek justice for her?"

Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Shu still relied on Xie Zhan to obtain the position of Minister of Taichang Temple. Xie Zhan praised his abilities before, but now after actually experiencing the matter, he can vaguely see that Mr. Shu's ability is really

...very average.

He used the forces under his control to help. Under such a background, Mr. Shu still couldn't find any clues about the person who abducted women and children. How could Xie Zhan not be upset?

Even Xie Zhan began to vaguely feel that Mr. Shu did it on purpose. His daughter could bribe the palace steward, so how did he know that he himself would not be bribed by someone who abducted women and children behind his back?

But Xie Zhan has no one in his mind who has the ability to do this.

Mingxiu raised her eyebrows noncommittally. It was not yet known whether Mr. Shu really lacked ability, but Xie Zhan was definitely angry.

This matter cannot be blamed on others. It was Mr. Shu himself who was not strict with his daughter, and Shu Wenqi's lack of propriety that angered Xie Zhan. In the final analysis, it was all their fault.

She didn't want Mingxiu to get too involved in Shu Wenqi's affairs. The involvement behind it was quite deep. The defense in Mingxiu's house was extremely weak now. If she knew too much, she wouldn't be safe either.

So Xie Zhan changed the subject and said: "The emperor wants to see you, please go to the palace when you are free."

"The Emperor wants to see me?" Mingxiu murmured and repeated Xie Zhan's words, remembering something in her mind. She seemed to have promised the Emperor that she would go into the palace and prepare delicious food for him when she was free?

More than half a year has passed, and I don’t know if the emperor specifically asked Xie Zhan to help deliver the message because he remembered this incident.

There was a suspicion of deceiving the children, and Mingxiu felt a little guilty.

Originally it was just a casual remark, but the emperor did indeed say so, but now Mingxiu's reaction proved that there seemed to be some problems between Mingxiu and the emperor.

"Have you deceived me?"

Xie Zhan's face was a bit serious, and the matter of deceiving the emperor was too serious.

Shrinking her neck, Mingxiu whispered: "How can you say it's deceiving the emperor?" She just forgot about this, it was still very different from deceiving the emperor.

Seeing her reaction, Xie Zhan knew that his guess was correct and sighed helplessly.

Who doesn't think about what the emperor said all the time, and is so bright and caring that he can forget it?!

Who would believe this?!

Mingxiu was a little embarrassed and smiled flatteringly at Xie Zhan, "I really can't let go. Will you help me explain to the emperor?"

Although she looked guilty, there was a hint of threat in Mingxiu's eyes.

In the whole world, the only person in the world who could threaten Xie Zhan in such a fair and just way, without making him angry at all but enjoying it, was Mingxiu.

Xie Zhan rubbed his brows helplessly, "Okay, I will tell the emperor that you have been busy recently, but you should be tighter and hurry up and enter the palace. Now that this matter is over, there is no need for the emperor to worry about it every day."

How old is the emperor? What agreement can he make with Mingxiu?

It was nothing more than some toys and food. It could only be said to be a trivial matter, not to mention insignificant. Xie Zhan couldn't bear to scold Mingxiu for anything, so he could only sigh helplessly.

"I understand. I will have someone deliver the post to the palace tomorrow."

I hope the emperor is not angry.

Mingxiu never had any expectations for the temper of a young and high-ranking child, and only hoped that the emperor would punish him lightly.

"No, I will send someone to the palace in a moment to send a message. Someone will go to your home to pick you up and bring you to the palace tomorrow."

If his attitude is correct, the emperor will not really punish Mingxiu for anything.

But there will be no shortage of sarcastic comments.

This matter was originally Mingxiu's fault, and Xie Zhan couldn't make peace even if he wanted to.

Fortunately, Mingxiu is not a careless person. If she is in the wrong, she should not have any complaints.

After the two agreed on tomorrow's itinerary, the housekeeper came forward again.

"Your Majesty, Princess, Lord Shu are here to apologize."

After Shu Wenqi ran away crying, the housekeeper's attitude towards Mingxiu became more and more respectful, as if he thought that by doing so, Mingxiu would be soft-hearted towards him when the Dongchuang incident happened in the future.

No one is a fool. Mingxiu noticed the butler's attitude and frowned slightly, feeling somewhat disgusted.

But for this kind of thing, Xie Zhan said not to alert the enemy first, so she couldn't rush to tell the housekeeper: It's useless even if you are respectful to me, your master will still punish you.

Mingxiu couldn't speak because she was holding back her words, not to mention how uncomfortable she felt.

Master Shu is different from Shu Wenqi. With his arrival, Mingxiu's presence is somewhat inappropriate.

So Mingxiu smiled apologetically at Xie Zhan, "It's getting late, I'll go back first."

"No need." Xie Zhan reached out to hold her, then turned to look at the housekeeper, "Go tell Mr. Shu and let him repent at home. If the matter of abducting women and children is no longer revealed, his position as Minister of Taichang Temple can also be replaced.

Already."

The butler was startled and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Miss Shu offended me, Master Shu is also pitiful, why do you bother..."

Although it is now past the time for Xie Zhan to win over the courtiers, if he embarrasses Master Shu too much, he may not be able to live up to his words.

The housekeeper felt that he was doing his best to consider his master.

But Xie Zhan doesn't think so.

He looked at the housekeeper calmly and said, "Since when have you allowed yourself to comment on my king's affairs?"

Xie Zhan's words were heartbreaking. The housekeeper had a guilty conscience at first, his knees softened, and he knelt down in front of Xie Zhan without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, you have a clear understanding! The old slave's heart towards Your Majesty can be learned from heaven and earth, and there is absolutely no difference between you and me!"

People who can live comfortably in a big family have good abilities. In many cases, their ability to act is directly proportional to their ability to do things. If they hadn't learned the details of the housekeeper from Xie Zhan, it seems that he would be a good person at this time.

What a loyal servant.

Xie Zhan did not refute his words at this time. He frowned slightly and looked at the housekeeper, "Go down and let Mr. Shu wait outside!"

The steward opened his mouth, as if he wanted to fight for Lord Shu, but at this time Xie Zhan was very impatient. If the steward opened his mouth again, he might not be able to keep his position as steward even if he didn't alert the snake.

In order to prevent his efforts from falling short, Mingxiu said before the butler could speak: "Go and serve Mr. Shu a cup of good tea. Your Majesty will be here soon."

The housekeeper was shocked. He didn't expect Mingxiu to be Xie Zhan's boss.
