When Oriole heard this, he couldn't help but trembled all over.

She raised her head with difficulty and looked into Mingxiu's eyes inquiringly.

"I'm just a maid, and you would offend King Cheng because of me?! Even if you would do this, the prince would not allow it!"

It is not too common for those in power to sacrifice small people like them.

Even Oriole himself, over time, no longer regards himself as an individual.

The world is like this and no one can change it.

Although Mingxiu was very kind to her, she still subconsciously believed that if Mingxiu knew about this matter, she would definitely not be able to find a solution, and she might even die without a burial place.

Instead of doing this, why not give it a try yourself, maybe you can find a new world?

Even if he loses now, Oriole has no regrets.

"you are wrong."

Xie Zhan stepped forward and supported Mingxiu's shaky body.

In his heart, Oriole is not even as important as Mingxiu's cat, but...

"When I fight with others, I don't bother to sacrifice anything of yours."

Even if Oriole gave everything he had, how could he help Xie Zhan even half a cent?

If Mingxiu came to ask for help because of Oriole, it is true that Xie Zhan would be angry and want to give up on her, but in the end, he would still agree to Mingxiu's request.

All of this is entirely the result of the Oriole villain's heart.

The two looked at her condescendingly.

Xie Zhan said: "Princess, there is nothing to say to a stubborn girl. Let's go back."

He carefully observed Mingxiu's face, fearing that she would not be able to think about it because of this incident.

He looked at Oriole for a long time, and finally he was just dejected.

Mingxiu sighed: "Let's go."

Turn around and leave without hesitation.

At this moment, Oriole seemed to realize something, and used all its strength to crawl towards Mingxiu.

"Master, it was my fault that I was wrong. I was wrong and harmed my master!"

The past events were still vivid in her mind. Even though Mingxiu never intervened in the disputes between slaves and maids, when it came to her, Mingxiu would always act fairly.

Compared with the egret that always follows her, Mingxiu even thinks more highly of her.

Being trusted like this...

Only at this moment did Oriole realize that he was not worthy of such trust.

She seemed to have exhausted her last bit of strength in calling, and successfully made Mingxiu stop.

Turning his head to look at Oriole, his eyes were extremely dull.

"My master-servant relationship with you ends here. Whether you live or die in the future has nothing to do with me."

In fact, both parties knew in their hearts that Oriole fell into Xie Zhan's hands, and at this point, she had no way out.

Originally, Mingxiu thought that if Oriole knew how to repent, she would not suffer any real harm, and he wanted to save her life in Xie Zhan's hands. Letting her out to fend for herself would be the fulfillment of the relationship between master and servant.

but now……

There was no concealed disappointment in Mingxiu's eyes.

Her intentions for Oriole were ultimately misplaced.

Seeing her like this, Xie Zhan couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"He's just an ignorant servant. Why do you take it so seriously?"

The previous butler could be regarded as a servant who had been with Xie Zhan for many years. Xie Zhan was not without his master and servant.

But even so, after the housekeeper betrayed him, Xie Zhan didn't hesitate or be soft-hearted in dealing with it.

He doesn't have such delicate emotions, and he doesn't understand why Mingxiu feels so lost now.

With her eyes slightly moist, Mingxiu sighed, "Originally, I planned to release her to mate in two years. With me watching from behind, she will never be sad in the future."

A comfortable country life is what Mingxiu has always wanted.

Such leisure and laziness were a life that was beyond her reach in her previous life.

It's the same in this life.

Just because she can't get it, Mingxiu wants the people around her to get it.

But Oriole...

"Fortunately, the egret is quite sensible."

"Don't think so much. Oriole can't be used. There are plenty of useful girls out there. You can have as many as you want. I'll find them for you and keep them honestly and loyally."

Mingxiu burst into laughter, "What's more, I haven't seen how honest your housekeeper is."

This was Xie Zhan's scar, and others could care less about it. Mingxiu mentioned it, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"That was just an accident."

Who hasn't made a mistake yet?

Please don’t mention these dark histories.

Although he was a little embarrassed, Mingxiu finally smiled, which made Xie Zhan feel relieved.

The two played around for a while, and Mingxiu suddenly said: "Just now you said that it was King Cheng who bribed Oriole?"

Mingxiu couldn't help but frown, what did King Cheng want to do?

His current actions, apart from coming towards Xie Zhan, Mingxiu did not do what he wanted.

Can……

Picture what?

A person who is infertile cannot sit on the throne of the emperor. Even if he sits on it, he cannot sit firmly. He is not as good as the little emperor now.

Xie Zhan's eyes showed a bit of ridicule, "The Holy Emperor's throne is secure and smooth, but there are always people who are unwilling to accept it."

Mingxiu subconsciously believed that King Cheng served others.

but……

Among the former emperor's princes, apart from today and Xie Zhan, only one has the ability to inherit the throne.

"...He wants to bring you and the Holy Emperor down? Then who will be the Emperor?"

Someone has to sit on the throne of God.

Mingxiu looked at Xie Zhan in disbelief, "It can't be King Cheng himself, right?"

"Everyone will have some wishful thinking in his life." Xie Zhan smiled lightly and did not take Mingxiu's disbelief into consideration. "He is considered a smart person, but even the smartest person can't stand it in the face of absolute power.

It’s hard to avoid losing your mind.”

If it hadn't been for Mingxiu's blow that day, he might have been the one sitting on the throne now.

Although he felt a little regretful, Xie Zhan never regretted his original choice.

Even a little lucky.

"But he..." He can't have children!

Mingxiu frowned, puzzled.

"So what if we pull you and the Holy Emperor down? Will those old foxes in the court allow him to take the throne?"

The person on the throne can be mediocre, even confused and mediocre, but he must not be physically defective.

Especially a serious defect like infertility.

There must always be someone to inherit the throne.

"If you can't have children, you can still adopt someone." Xie Zhan had a faint smile in his eyes, seeming to express his innocence, "As long as you can ascend to the throne, what's not to do?"

King Cheng was very ambitious, and the late emperor did not dare to show it when he was alive, but now he no longer has any scruples.

He may not succeed, but he is very disgusting.

Mingxiu was speechless. From the bottom of her heart, she still didn't want to believe that someone was willing to turn against her brother just for the sake of a throne that was ultimately unstable.

Xie Zhan did not discuss this issue in depth.

After all, there is still a long time to come, and Mingxiu will always have the opportunity to witness the ambition of becoming a king.

At least now, becoming a king will not affect their lives.

He doesn't have that much ability either.

Mingxiu secretly recalled that the man he saw that day who had only one outline and polarized temperament was Cheng Wang?
