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

Considering the consequences, no matter how confused he was, Chi Xinian could only force himself to restrain his impulse and squat quietly where he was.

That is, when she was thinking, one of the two silent people finally couldn't help breaking the silence.

Seeing that Xu Ruxuan hadn't spoken to him for a long time, Huo Butler finally spoke again: "My lord, you seem to be in a bit of a bad state today. Is it because, by the side of the canal during the day, what did the empress and the young master of the Zhu family say to you?"

"What can they say? It's nothing more than asking about the water bandits..." Xu Ruxuan's eyelids twitched when he was suddenly pointed out that he had something on his mind, and then he quickly forced himself to calm down.

He raised his eyes, and glanced lightly at the person in front of him: "Didn't I mention this matter to you in the study just now? Pingxing suffered a heavy loss this time, His Majesty was furious, and he wanted to give the instigator a little color in whatever he said." .

"He sent the most trustworthy and bravest queen around him, because he made up his mind to wipe out the bandits.

"The empress wants to suppress the bandits, so she naturally needs to find out about the water bandits. For this kind of thing, I, the prefect of Pingxing, is the most suitable person. Not to mention, I also concealed the news about the water bandits...

"She and Lord Zhu Xiaohou still had some doubts about my relationship with the water bandits, so naturally they found me immediately."

"So, they called you aside again today and questioned you?" Butler Huo frowned slightly.

"Yes." Xu Ruxuan and Huo Steward looked at each other with firm eyes, "They thought I was talented and suitable for an official position, but they suspected that I had connections with water bandits and went astray. So they called me to the canal Come on, let me look at the canal where the people of Binh Hing rely on for their survival, and then tell them the truth after thinking about it.

"They even promised me that if I can pay off the crime, they can intercede for me in front of His Majesty."

"Oh? What do you think, my lord?" The queen begged for mercy... This is a big temptation.

It is heard that Jinsheng has great admiration and love for his queen, and for her sake, he even refused Beiyan's request for marriage.

If she had to intercede, and Xu Zhifu's own ability is really good enough... Maybe His Majesty will really give him a lighter sentence.Maybe even if you only want to punish and not move your position?
"What do you think?" Xu Ruxuan sneered, and looked at the person opposite who was examining him lightly, "It's nothing, what should I think?"

"Your Excellency, what do you mean...?" The housekeeper narrowed his eyes, as if he realized what Xu Ruxuan was going to say.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ruxuan said: "I have never colluded with the water bandits, and the reason why I have not reported the water bandits' riots was also explained when I first met the young master.

"It's their business that they have doubts, but no matter how they ask, there is only one answer."

Hearing this, Butler Huo didn't speak immediately.

After looking at Xu Ruxuan for a while, he nodded slowly: "Your Excellency is right, there is no way to explain things that don't exist.

"Just being misunderstood all the time is not a problem. If there is a chance, my lord should prove his loyalty to the court to those two.

"As for the suppression of bandits... don't always think about the current situation. You have to think about it, if a good official like you loses his official position, will it be beneficial to the people if the seat is given to someone who is not as good as you?

"The queen must do this, you just cooperate with her."
