Chapter 403 Beauty Is in the Bones, Not in the Skin
It was the sentence just now, "If you want to know whether the madam of Qingfeng Pavilion and the girls lied, you need to arrest them all and interrogate them. Under torture, they will confess." It was more in line with his usual style.
Rong Yu said in a cold tone: "You still have ten days. If you can't find the truth, you will all be dismissed and investigated."
Minister Zeng's face changed when he heard this.
Dismissal and investigation?
Just for such a case, the Regent actually took real action?
But even if he took real action, he, the Minister, was dismissed, what position would Xie Jin, the boy of the Xie family, be dismissed from? Dismiss him as the young master of the Xie family who assisted in the investigation?
You can't stop him from being the son of Prime Minister Xie.
Minister Zeng felt it was unfair.
But facing the cold and intimidating aura of the Regent, he was too afraid to speak out even if he had many dissatisfactions in his heart? He could only agree to it.
Xie Jin was calm. After leaving the imperial study, he walked out of the palace leisurely. When Minister Zeng asked him how to investigate next, he just smiled faintly: "The main person in charge of this case is Mr. Zeng. I am just an assistant. Please don't misunderstand me, Mr. Shangshu, and don't put your hopes on me."
Minister Zeng choked and almost couldn't help blurting out: "When you took Madam Xi and her son away that day, you didn't say that I was responsible for this matter."
But what's the use of saying this now?
The Ninth Master of the Xie Family has always been self-willed and unscrupulous. He has the support of Prime Minister Xie who loves his son like his life. Even Minister Zeng dare not offend him.
Xie Jin was tired of investigating the case these two days. After all, it was very brain-consuming to find a way to destroy the evidence while investigating. He felt that in addition to going to Xuanyuan Qi's wedding banquet to ask for a glass of wedding wine, he had to take the opportunity to blackmail him and make Xuanyuan Qi bleed.
As for what to blackmail...
He hasn't thought about it yet.
After leaving the palace and returning home, Xie Jin went straight back to his own Jin Garden. His beloved mother had been in love with the eldest princess recently and often visited the eldest princess's mansion. Since she was not at home, he did not need to go to pay respects.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw the young man in an ice-blue robe, Wei Wushuang, the eldest prince of Yan State, who was presented to Dongling in the name of Beijiang.
At this time, the young man was standing quietly in the corridor, silently looking at the distant sky, and his beautiful eyes like glass seemed to contain thousands of thoughts.
It was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
Xie Jin leaned against the courtyard gate and casually admired the beauty and scenery for a while. He sincerely felt that in terms of appearance alone, this young man was indeed beautiful beyond description. The ice-blue robe dragged on the ground. He was so thin in such a cold winter, and he was not shivering with cold. It can be seen that his heart was not as weak as his appearance showed.
A beautiful face that was as beautiful as the work of nature, it was really a darling carefully created by God.
However, Xie Jin thought of some things about Yan State, and secretly thought that with such an identity and such a face that could bring disaster, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
With a cold and playful arc at the corner of his lips, Xie Jin walked into the courtyard. His footsteps were originally silent, but he inevitably made a little sound when he stepped on the fallen leaves in winter.
The young man in the corridor was startled and came back to his senses. He turned around and saw Xie Jin coming back. He turned around and greeted him hurriedly. As he walked, his ice-blue light robe shed layers of snow-like brilliance under the sunlight. It was really beautiful and luxurious.
Before he came to Xie Jin, the young man knelt down, put his hands on the ground, touched his forehead on the back of his hands, and said respectfully: "Young Master."
Xie Jin stopped and looked down at his respectful and almost humble posture and etiquette.
Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin.
The young man in front of him was almost impeccable in every way, and his every move was elegant. Even in his humble posture on the ground, he looked more elegant, and his charm was revealed silently.
Xie Jin found it interesting.
The Yan Kingdom's royal family had such a beauty. Was it a blessing from heaven and earth?
However, as the eldest prince of Yan Kingdom, his mother was of humble status, just a dancer to please others. Although the child born after being favored by the king had the title of eldest son, he was just as humble as his mother, so humble that no one regarded him as the eldest prince - this was the reason why Beijiang could present him as a gift.
Yan Kingdom was dependent on Beijiang. The eldest prince of Yan Kingdom, who had no status at all, was also an object to please others for Beijiang Crown Prince Duanmu Yu. If he could really marry Dongling smoothly, he would be the prince of Yan Kingdom.
If not, then this person was just a beautiful plaything in the eyes of the Beijiang dignitaries and even the Yan Kingdom royal family.
Unfortunately, the marriage was not successful, and he didn't even have the chance to become a beautiful vase in the harem of Her Majesty the Queen.
"I remember telling you to stay in Wushuang Pavilion and not to step out of the room without my permission." Xie Jin said lazily, "You turned a deaf ear to my words?"
"Wushuang dare not." The young man lowered his body, "Wushuang has something to report, please allow me, Master."
On the first day Xie Jin brought them back, he set rules for these young men who were given to him.
"Your master presented you to His Majesty Dongling, and you are Dongling's people. Her Majesty the Queen gave you to me, and you are Jiuye's people from now on. You must be polite when you see your master in the future, and don't bring your family's rules here."
"Call me Master when you meet, don't call yourself a slave, Jiuye doesn't like that."
"There are many side rooms in Jinyuan, each of you choose one to live in, away from my house, I like quiet."
"Just name the side rooms with your own names, it's easy to remember."
"Observe the rules of Jinyuan. Jiu Ye looks easy to talk to, but he has a bad temper. If anyone dares to break the rules and anger Jiu Ye, I will let you taste the taste of skinning and pulling out tendons."
"Have you heard of the beautiful woman's bones being used to make a pipa? Don't give Jiu Ye this opportunity."
So the young men have been really well behaved in the past few days. I don't know if they are afraid of these threats and warnings. Anyway, Xie Jin is happy to have peace of mind.
If he hadn't seen this unparalleled young man standing in the corridor today, he would have almost forgotten that there were still a few beautiful boys in his Jinyuan who had not been dealt with.
"Do you have something to ask for?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, and his pair of charming Danfeng eyes were full of laziness and coldness. "Tell me."
As he said, he walked straight into his room.
The young man behind him stood up and followed him. He walked into the house with his head lowered and eyes downcast. He knelt down again and spoke in a low voice, still respectfully and humbly: "Wushuang is poisoned by a Gu poison. It will occur three days a month. I am afraid that the noise at night will disturb your rest. I come to ask you to allow Wushuang to spend the night in the back garden tonight."
Xie Jin leaned lazily on the brocade couch. The beautiful maid poured tea for him. He raised his eyes: "Poison?"
