Chapter 401 Too bad.

At that time, Xie Yuan was practicing the stability of drawing the bow on the school field, when Princess Huaizhen's mournful cry passed through the courtyard and fell into her ears.

She tilted her head with her bow raised.He said to Erdan Xiao who was helping her pack up the weapons behind him:

"Go to the princess and ask what happened."

Xiao Erdan was also very curious when he heard the shout, and pricked up his ears to see where the sound came from, but he didn't want to go there, and said:

"She always makes a fuss, what's so strange about it?"

Xie Yuan loosened his hand pulling the string, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye in the distance.She put down the bow, turned her face sideways, and looked at Xiao Erdan with a pair of red and phoenix eyes, not angry but arrogant.

Xiao Erdan suddenly felt guilty, put down the white cloth towel for wiping the weapon in his hand, and walked outside.It's like not talking nonsense anymore, and took the order to execute it.

As soon as he passed through the gate of the courtyard, he ran into Sun Tian who had hurried back from the outside. The two of them met each other. Sun Tian asked:
"What are you going to do?"

"The general asked me to find out about the military situation at Princess Huaizhen's place." Xiao Erdan said sadly.

Sun Tian was stunned for a moment, seemed a little surprised, then said "Oh" and said, "Go..."

The two passed by, and Sun Tian walked inside with a heavy heart. Seeing Xie Yuan practicing his arm strength with a hard bow, he walked forward and said in a low voice:
"General, something happened."

Xie Yuan's back was straight, and the arm holding the bow was still stable, but her eyes flickered, and the hand holding the bow was raised a little bit higher, and asked:

"what's up?"

Sun Tian leaned close to her ear, and said, "...the rumor about Princess Huaizhen and Ma Shuo, I don't know who made it into a ballad, even the breakfast sellers on the street can sing it."

He pursed his lips, seemed very angry, and said to Xie Yuan:

"Her reputation is rotten, and you have become a laughing stock even with the general, so what do you care about her?"

"Song?" Xie Yuan put down the bow in his hand and asked suspiciously.

Sun Tian thought for a while and said: "The arranger seemed to be afraid that others would not know that he was talking about Princess Huaizhen, so he directly mentioned the title in the last sentence. That is to say, an ignorant baby dares to sing the last sentence.

But even if the title is not mentioned, the temple and Mr. Ma belong to it, as long as people are not stupid, they can guess who it is talking about. "

Xie Yuan fell into deep thought.

At this time, Erdan Xiao came back from Princess Huaizhen's yard, panting and said:
"I went to ask, and all of them shrank their necks and shut their mouths. No one wanted to tell me why. They just said that even Ms. Mo was slapped, and several of them were beaten and scolded by the princess. Let's stop asking."

Sun Tian sneered, the voice was so small that only the three of them could hear it, but it was full of anger and dissatisfaction:

"It must be because of that song ballad. She did something scandalous, and now everyone knows it, and it has become a laughing stock for the common people. She knows it's embarrassing, why did she go, don't do it at that time! "

Xie Yuan frowned, and thought of what Princess Huaizhen said at the time that she did that because of her.

Moreover, it is indeed because of his own identity that indirectly caused the current tragedy of Princess Huaizhen.

She originally thought about asking Master Huaizhen to find someone else, but she never thought that after a woman got married, it would be a matter of ruining her reputation to find someone else.

After all, it always has an inseparable relationship with her.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan handed the hard bow in his hand to Erdan Xiao, and walked out, wanting to see Princess Huaizhen.

But just after five steps, she stopped.

Xie Yuan looked up at the high courtyard wall, and imagined the scene after the two met—Princess Huaizhen was in a rage, and she was a "culprit" going there, wouldn't she add fuel to the fire?

It was she who turned her toes again and walked back.

Xiao Erdan and Sun Tian noticed her reaction.

From their point of view, Xie Yuan's tolerance for Princess Huaizhen has exceeded the measure that an ordinary person should have.

How can a man in this world tolerate being cuckolded?Even if you don't like it, but it's a matter of face and dignity, so it shouldn't be so indifferent.

What's more, with his appearance just now...does he still want to see Princess Huaizhen?

It's really off the charts!
"General!" Sun Tian was a little annoyed, resenting his disappointment, and growled, "She has made you like this! Why do you care about her? Do you know how others laugh at you because of her?" !"

Xie Yuan raised his eyelids, glanced at Sun Tian calmly, and said, "She is also a victim, who is so vicious and wants to deal with her like this?"

"Who else could it be! How many people have she offended with her domineering and defiant attitude every day, my enemy!"

Xie Yuan took the bow and arrow from Xiao Erdan's hand again, and said casually:

"The enemy is to take revenge directly. This way, the sun is too bad..."

Xiao Erdan said: "General, not everyone is like you, open and aboveboard, directly resorting to force, looking for revenge with swords and guns."

She raised her bow, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something, she stopped raising her bow.

Then suddenly at the door of the inn that day, she saw a picture of a figure very similar to Shen Liuzhen, and it flashed in front of her eyes.

Xiao Erdan quickly asked, "General, what's wrong?"

Xie Yuan thought to himself: Shen Liuzhen left his affairs behind and went to Song Guolai to arrange for Princess Huaizhen?
——This is too outrageous.

"It's nothing." Xie Yuan said, putting this funny idea behind him.

At this time, Ma Guogong and Shen Guozhu, who also heard the ballad, rushed to the palace in a hurry.

As a result, the two met directly on the stone steps in front of the palace.

Ma Guogong, who was dark-skinned and thin, looked fiercely at Shen Guozhu opposite him with a pair of eyes.

Shen Qingzhi looked at him calmly.

The two of them stared at each other for quite a while, finally Shen Qingzhi couldn't help but took a step forward, opened his mouth first, and asked:
"Uncle Ma... that matter..."

Before he could say what was behind him, Ma Guogong snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves at Shen Qingzhi, and walked away.

That footstep was so fast, as if there was a competition whose legs and feet were better.

From Shen Qingzhi's point of view, it was obvious that this was going to complain to His Majesty the Emperor. With the little emperor's super soft ears, if he complained first, he might have listened to him.

So he hurried up and ran up, one step and two steps on the ground, for fear that he would not be able to catch up.

Just like that, the two arrived at the door of the main hall at the same time, and shouted loudly inside at the same time:

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged..."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Of course, it was Ma Guogong who called for grievances, and it was Shen Qingzhi and Shen Guozhu who wanted to report the matter.

The little eunuch who was standing at the door in charge of reporting, looked nervously at the two big men, at a loss for what to do.The voice of the eunuch next to the emperor came from the hall:
"Your Majesty has a decree, and I invite the two of you to have an audience."
