Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 546 Too Weird
"My lord, although it is summer now, the river is very windy, how can you just stand here and blow it like this?! You have been sick from overwork a few days ago and caught a cold. Now that you have just recovered from a serious illness, you need to pay more attention to your body. Ah!" The butler of the Xu Mansion ran over with a cloak in his arms.

When you see Xu Ruxuan, you have to put on the cloak for him.

And with his interruption, it would be difficult for Chi Xinian to ask those secret things again.

The words swirled around his lips, and finally turned into concern: "Master Xu was tired and sick a few days ago? Disaster relief is important, but your body is also important. It just so happens that we are here these two days and we can help you. Let's rest for a while."

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ziping on the other side frowned subconsciously.

If you are tired and sick, you should cultivate more, but in this summer, the butler of the Xu family rushed to interrupt their conversation just to send a cloak, which is too...

But thinking that Xu Ruxuan was working hard for disaster relief, although he was a little bit dissatisfied with the housekeeper's hypocrisy, he finally suppressed his emotions in an instant and echoed: "The empress is right, we are specially sent by your majesty for disaster relief. , should worry about disaster relief.

"Since Mr. Xu is not feeling well, please rest more.

"For disaster relief, we are busy with it, so you don't have to worry too much."

Both of them had good intentions, but when Xu Ruxuan heard the words, he shook his head decisively: "The kindness of the two of you is accepted by the official, but as the magistrate of Pingxing, I really have no face to rest when the disaster is not over.

"Besides, it's been a few days since the lower official was ill. Now the lower official is in good health. As long as you pay attention to it, it won't affect the handling of official duties."

"Really?" Chi Xinian hooked the corners of his lips, and turned his probing eyes around the firm Xu Ruxuan and the worried butler before he spoke again, "Since the magistrate Xu has his own considerations, that's fine too. .

"However, the body is still important. If you feel unwell, you can send someone to tell me at any time. I will find someone to take over your affairs."

"Thank you, ma'am." Xu Ruxuan bowed to express his thanks.

However, he didn't get entangled in this topic. When he finished speaking, he brought up the repair of the current embankment.

Afterwards, he gathered the cloak on his body again, and took the housekeeper to another embankment alone.

"Your Majesty, this is the prefect of Xu..." Zhu Ziping couldn't help but frowned when Xu Ruxuan walked away, and said in a low voice, "Why do you feel that his strange energy has come up again today..."

Before that, he thought that Xu Ruxuan was a useful person, but he also had weird things.

It's just that the weirdness didn't affect anything at that time, so he didn't explore it carefully.I just want to solve the disaster relief first, and then investigate slowly.

But today, he and the queen came together to ask this person if he had any difficulties, and the strangeness he felt before became very obvious.

Zhu Ziping scratched the back of his neck, puzzled: "We're talking in private, why is he weirder than usual? He can't even trust the two of us, right?"

"The possibility of not believing us is very small." Chi Xinian shook his head, "After all, the positions of the Chi family and the Zhu family in the court couldn't be more obvious.

"Our Chi family has been loyal for generations, and even has an in-law relationship with His Majesty. As for your Zhu family, you have also been standing by His Majesty's side since before he took the throne.

"It stands to reason that if we talk to Xu Ruxuan alone, he should take the opportunity to tell us something. Unless..."
