The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 168
Xie Xi looked at Cao Lang, and said with a smile: "Isn't it true that you don't admit it? It's easy to handle. Eunuch Cao will let you meet each other later. Even if you didn't know each other before, you will get to know each other soon."

Cao Lang was noncommittal to Xie Xi's words. Seeing that Xie Yan's expression softened, Xie Xi continued, "What are those boxes in your mansion? Where did you get them?"

Xie Yan still pretended not to hear, this time Xie Xi walked up to Xie Yan, put his face in front of him, and asked, "Is it Qian Minzhong?"

"Is it Ye Quan?"

"Or Tantai Song?"

Hearing Tantaisong's name, Xie Yan's eyes widened unconsciously.However, he immediately realized his loss of composure, and regained his dying expression.

Seeing it, Xie Xi immediately jumped up and said, "It really is Tantai Song! Eunuch Cao, let's go see Tantai Song!"

As he said that, he pretended to go out, and said in his mouth: "Eunuch Cao, this Xie Yan is useless, just deal with it!"

At this moment, Xie Yan panicked and hurriedly said, "Xie Xi, stop! What exactly are you trying to do?"

Xie Xi turned around, sneered at Xie Yan, and said, "I have warned you long ago, telling you to calm down. I didn't expect that instead of calming down, you would provoke me. You should be thankful father The emperor put you in prison, if you wait for me to do it, hehe, I'm afraid you are already on the Naihe bridge at this moment."

Xie Yan originally thought that Xie Xi came here at the emperor's order, but after hearing Xie Xi's words, he was a little confused.

He saw Xie Xi's sudden hostility, and he looked a little scary.After thinking about it carefully, he asked timidly: "We have no grudges in the past, and we have no grudges in the present. I never dare to offend you. There must be some misunderstanding, yes, misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding? You said you didn't offend me? Tell me! You went to Kang Ningbo's mansion to propose marriage. What's going on?"

Xie Yan suddenly remembered that half a month ago, he sent someone to Kang Ningbo's residence to beg for his younger brother.But it has been so long since this incident, I really don't know why Xie Xi was so angry.

But he also knew that the more arguments he made at this time, the more Xie Xi's anger would be aroused. I don't know if you violated some of your taboos by sending someone to ask Miss Lin Er to marry you. Your lord does not remember the faults of villains..."

"Bullshit! Don't pretend to be confused with me. Who asked you, Second Miss Lin, and you said, what is your intention when you go to ask Miss Lin for marriage!"

Xie Yan was confused when he heard that Miss Lin was mentioned, and couldn't help asking: "Miss Lin, which Miss Lin is it?"

"Are you pretending to be garlic with me?"

Xie Xi raised his palm and slapped Xie Yan hard on the head, and said with an extremely dull sound, "It could still be Miss Lin, of course it's Miss Lin's sister!"

Only now did Xie Yan realize that Xie Xi was talking about Lin Zisu.

He also heard from Xie Hui that Lin Zisu knew some medical skills, and it happened that the blind cat met a dead mouse and cured Xie Xi's convulsions for many years.

Therefore, Xie Xi defended Lin Zisu very much, and even did not hesitate to reveal his hidden identity.

Xie Yan felt that he had never offended Lin Zisu, even though he received a letter from Xie Hui two days ago, saying that he wanted to do something about Lin Zisu.

However, at this time, the trip had not yet been made, and Xie Xi was actually placed on his own head by someone who was not good-looking who went to Kang Ningbo's mansion to propose a marriage.

But he had never done this before. For the first time in his life, Xie Yan felt wronged, and begged, "His Royal Highness, I have never sent anyone to Kang Ningbo's residence to propose marriage to Miss Lin, and I have never offended Mrs. Lin." Miss, you have to be careful!"

Xie Xi bent down, snorted coldly, and said, "Your Prince Wei's Mansion has always been domineering in the capital, who dares to pretend to be your Prince Wei's Mansion?"

Xie Yan was at a loss for words at the moment, his mind turned quickly, and said: "Someone must have done something secretly, it's not difficult to find out, you can go to the person who went to Kang Ningbo's mansion to propose marriage that day, and you can tell if it's true or not." Know."

Xie Xi saw that Xie Yan's expression did not seem to be fake this time, and he was waiting to ask again, but Cao Lang said suddenly: "Your Highness, Dongchang knows everything Xie Yan has done, and there is nothing important about him. .Tantaisong is next door, do you want to ask about it?"

"Eunuch Cao knows my heart well, let's go and see Tantai Song."

Xie Xi straightened up, patted the hem of his robe casually, and said, "This Xie Yan offended me, and I'm still thinking about how to torture him, and I hope my father-in-law will leave him alone until I calm down."

"My servant understands, please rest assured, Your Highness, Dongchang has always been the most disciplined in doing things."

Cao Lang made a "please" gesture to Xie Xi, and Xie Xi walked away immediately.

Seeing that this opportunity was missed, Xie Yan didn't know how much he would suffer here, so he immediately shouted: "Your Highness, listen to me, I really did not offend Miss Lin!"

The man beside him yelled sharply: "According to Dayan's law, the prison is heavy, no loud noises are allowed, offenders can be whipped fifteen times!"

After Xie Xi walked a long way, he could still hear the sound of the whip being whipped on someone's body, as well as Xie Yan's screams. It seemed that Xie Yan was hit by far more than fifteen lashes.

He shook his head and said with a smile: "Eunuch Cao, thank you for venting your anger on this king. This kind of kindness, this king has written down."

Cao Lang still had a businesslike expression, pointing to a prison cell not far away and said: "Tantaisong is there, let's go and meet."

Different from Xie Yan's bloody mess, Tantaisong's treatment is excellent.Not only are the tables and chairs complete, but the narrow bed in the corner is also covered with thick soft grass.

Because the light in the imperial prison was dim, an oil lamp was still burning on the table, emitting a little light as big as a bean.Tantaisong was leaning on the table, holding a book in his hand to read carefully.

Hearing someone coming, Tan Taisong looked up and saw that it was Cao Lang and Xie Xi, so he threw the book in his hand on the table and said, "I have said many times that a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Lang, if you have the ability, let me die in the imperial prison, and I will never join forces with you, an eunuch!"

Cao Lang smiled, his face full of sarcasm.

He first said to Xie Xi: "Your Highness, you have also seen that this servant did not treat Lord Tantai badly. When you meet the lords of the cabinet in the future, you should say something fair for this servant."

In the Imperial Prison, even someone as honorable as Xie Yan would inevitably suffer some flesh and blood, not to mention that Tantai Song and the Supervisor of Rituals have always been hostile, and they have often spoken ill of Cao Shouli.

Xie Xi didn't know why Cao Lang was only polite to Tantai, and was about to ask carefully, only to hear Cao Lang continue: "Master Tantai, our family will not ask you anything else today. Our family is just curious, you and yours The eldest daughter-in-law has been lingering for so many years, how come no one found out?"
