Chapter 1223

King King's Mansion.

Inside the study.

King Jing and He Xinyin sat opposite each other.King Jing's face showed worry and said:
"Mr. He, why hasn't the old thief Xu Jie come?"

He Xinyin smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Xu Jie is a forbearing person. You can see it from the beginning when he got along with Yan Song. However, no matter how forbearing he is, he will come to see His Highness in these two days. Is Your Highness ready?"

"Don't worry sir, I know what to do."

But at this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door, He Xin couldn't help laughing and said: "Here we come, it seems that I'm going to hide for a while."

"Your Highness!" The butler's voice sounded outside the door: "Master Xu is visiting His Highness."

King Jing raised his eyebrows and gave He Xinyin a thumbs up. Then the two stood up almost at the same time. King Jing opened the door and said to the housekeeper:
"Master Xu, please go to the Flower Hall."

The two went out at the same time, King Jing walked towards the flower hall, while He Xinyin walked towards the private courtyard where he lived.

Luofu.

Luo Xin is very leisurely these days, all the things that should be arranged have been arranged, and the work of James Mansion and Imperial Academy is also free, so he hides at home and sits and watches the situation.Besides, I just came back from inspection, and I was assassinated three times, which scared my family enough, so I tried to stay at home with my parents and wife, watching the situation with cold eyes, and enjoying the family happiness at the same time.

After going to Zhanshi Mansion and Hanlin Academy, I ran back early, took off my official uniform, put on cotton casual clothes, and came to the back garden.He made a piece of land in the back garden to grow peppers, the seeds of which were given to him by Sharon.Luo Xin was very happy to get the chili seeds.He ate hot pot in Daming, and he was always unhappy because there was no chili pepper. Now that he got the chili seed, he cooked it with his own hands.

At this time, small peppers have grown on the shelf, and there is still some time before they mature.Luo Xin was watering these peppers carefully, talking to himself while watering.

"You are the seeds. In the coming year, I can plant them with a big face, but I must eat some of you first. I can't wait anymore, hehe..."

"Daddy!"

A childish voice came, and Luo Xin knew it was his son Luo Yu without turning his head, so he turned his head with a smile on his face, and waved to Xiao Luo Yu.

Xiao Luo Yu is almost two years old now, and her body is very strong. When she saw her father beckoning, she broke away from her mother's hand and ran towards Luo Xin.

"Slow down, slow down!"

Dai'er yelled worriedly from behind, but Xiao Luo Yu spread her hands and legs, giggling, and ran wildly towards Luo Xin.Luo Xin stretched out his hand and lifted Xiao Luo Yu up, the father and son both laughed.

Dai'er ran over after Luo Yu, and said angrily, "Look at you two, you don't look like you're crazy!"

"Chili, I want to eat chili!" Little Luo Yu shouted as Luo Xin held her up in the air.

Luo Xin put Xiao Luo Yu down and said: "Chili, you can't eat it yet, but when the time comes, don't cry because it's too hot."

"I'm a man, don't cry!" Xiao Luo Yu said proudly with her face up.

"Hahaha……"

Both Luo Xin and Dai'er laughed, showing a happy pastoral scene.

However, at this time, in the flower hall of Prince Jing's Mansion, it was full of solemnity.After Xu Jie and King Jing greeted each other, they took their seats as guests and hosts.Xu Jie kept a serious face and said nothing.

If this had been done in the past, King Jing would have lost his composure long ago.However, now he is able to hold his breath better than Xu Jie.And he was very excited in his heart, when he thought of acting with Xu Jie, he couldn't help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth.Suddenly thinking of He Xinyin's exhortation, he immediately became serious again.

Seeing that Xu Jie was still looking serious, not paying attention to his smile just now, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and put on a serious expression again.

However, he remembered He Xinyin's words, he must pretend to be confused, Xu Jie didn't speak, and he didn't speak, so he kept his mouth shut and just looked at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie had already drank half a cup of tea, and seeing King Jing holding his breath and not speaking, his heart sank.

Did King Jing see something?

Nope!
How could King Yijing see through his stupidity?

You must have been scared, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Jie's uneasy heart calmed down again, he put down his teacup, looked at King Jing and said:
"Your Highness, how have you been recently?"

"Well, very good, I can eat and sleep."

Xu Jie felt contempt in his heart, are you a pig?Can I still eat and sleep?However, he still put on a solemn look on his face and said:

"Your Highness already knows about the affairs above the court?"

"I know." King Jing nodded.

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

Xu Jie stared at the expression change on King Jing's face without blinking, but to his disappointment, King Jing's face was not as flustered as he imagined, but instead he smiled and said:

"What's Gu Neng's opinion? Gu just hates why Luo Xin was not killed. Li Zi's fate is great."

Xu Jie lifted his spirits and said, "Your Highness is looking forward to Luo Xin's death?"

"Isn't this nonsense!" King Jing said with a stern look in his eyes, "If it wasn't for him, Gu would have been the crown prince a long time ago. If it wasn't for him, Master Xu would not have been kicked out of Prince Yu's mansion. Could it be that Master Xu didn't want Luo Xin? die?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Xu Jie's face and he said: "This... everyone is just doing their own thing, and it's all for Daming. How could this old man want Luo Xin to die."

"Hehe..." King Jing put on an expression that I believe you are the only one to blame.

"Ahem..." Xu Jie coughed twice, concealing his embarrassment, and said, "Your Highness, aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?" King Jing looked puzzled.

"Your Highness didn't hear the gossip outside?"

"Rumours? What kind of rumors?" King Jing shook his head and said, "Gu hasn't gone out these days. You know, a few days ago, there was a lot of noise about the establishment of the reserve. Master Xu, you also told Gu to keep a low profile, so Gu I haven't gone out all this time, I don't know what rumors are going on outside?"

"Your Highness really doesn't know?"

"I really don't know." King Jing said with a trace of impatience on his face, "Master Xu, please explain."

Xu Jie couldn't help feeling suspicious. Could it be that King Jing really didn't know about the trial of the assassination of Luo Xin by the San Judicial Department because he listened to his own words and kept a low profile?That's why you're not in a hurry to invite me into the mansion?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cheer up and said: "Nowadays there is a rumor in the government and the public that the person behind the assassination of Luo Xin is His Highness."

"Ah?" King Jing was stunned for a moment, and then he jumped up and said, "That bastard who didn't want to die said it? I'm going to kill him."
