Chapter 539: The Imperial Seal Is Stolen
Seeing that Xuanyuan Yao was so angry that smoke was rising from his head and was already on the verge of losing control and going berserk.
Xie Jin slowly put the pillow back to its original position, pursed his lips, and glanced at Xuanyuan Yao silently. He looked like he had made a mistake and then turned around and walked to the corner without saying a word. He took up the horse stance seriously.
Xuanyuan Yao stared at his back, his expression frozen at that moment.
In order to show his sincerity, Xie Jin faced the wall directly, leaving only his back to Xuanyuan Yao and avoiding the embarrassment of the little leopard meeting his eyes.
After all, the little leopard is quite thin-skinned.
The atmosphere in the room was particularly delicate for a moment, and an awkward and slightly annoyed atmosphere filled the room.
Xuanyuan Yao stared at him expressionlessly for a long time. In addition to his delicate and noble face, and his pair of pink and phoenix eyes that fascinated thousands of girls, the ninth master of the Xie family also had a particularly good figure.
Xuanyuan Yao's handsome face darkened slightly, his eyes fell on his thin waist and his buttocks that were even more upright due to squatting down, and he didn't say anything for a while.
"Yao Yao, go to sleep." Xie Jin whispered, with a caring tone, "I promise not to disturb you again."
Xuanyuan Yao came back to his senses, looked away from the smooth waist, stared at the back of his head for a while, and snorted coldly, obviously not believing his promise.
"I promise." Xie Jin raised his hand and swore, "If I bother Yaoyao again, I will let Yaoyao ignore me from now on."
Xuanyuan Yao said nothing.
He just sat on the bed and watched without saying a word. He saw that Xie Jin had really entered the state of zhamabu. The heat on his face slowly faded away. He wanted to leave, but he was afraid that this guy would do something else. The moth came out, and besides, he had not left just now, and it seemed a bit pretentious to leave now.
However, I was still a little angry.
Xuanyuan Yao clenched his hands, wishing he could go up and kick Xie Jin into the wall and hang him there.
"Yao Yao." Xie Jin didn't hear what he said and couldn't help but speak again, "You go to sleep first-"
"Shut up." Xuanyuan Yao said indifferently, "Try saying one more word?"
Xie Jin's voice stopped and he finally became completely quiet.
Xuanyuan Yao lay back on the bed, pulled up the quilt and covered his head to sleep.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Otherwise he will be pissed off sooner or later.
Time passed little by little.
Xie Jin's horse stance is naturally very stable. It is a piece of cake for any martial arts master. Moreover, this is the "family method" given to him by Yao Yao, so he must implement it to the end.
There was no sound in his ears, and his keen senses detected the movement of the young man on the bed. From the steady to undetectable breathing, it could be heard that his anger had obviously dissipated and he fell asleep again.
Xie Jin quietly turned his head and glanced at the person sleeping on the bed covered with a quilt. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he felt calm in his heart.
Little Leopard actually has him in his heart.
Otherwise, how could he just be angry but not have the heart to attack him?
Anyway, if this matter came to Xie Jin, and someone dared to tease him like this without his consent, he would definitely have their hands and feet cut off - except for the person he liked.
So he can conclude that Little Leopard has him in his heart.
It’s just that I don’t want to admit it yet.
Thinking of this, Xie Jin couldn't help but feel happy.
He had already begun to long for a bright future in which the two of them would soon achieve perfection. Just as he said to Chu Nanyi that day, they would fight side by side in the court, drinking and chatting over tea and playing chess in their free time. Everyone would share their joys and worries. You won't feel alone when you look at the spring flowers and autumn moon.
That's enough.
Although wishes are good, accidents always happen in reality.
Before he could completely overcome the little leopard's defenses, a big event suddenly happened in the palace, a very serious event——
There was an assassin in the Imperial Study Room, and Xuanyuan Chen and the eunuch Zhang Yin were assassinated and injured.
The most important thing is that the imperial seal has been lost!
The news of the accident reached the Dazheng Palace and the Xie family almost at the same time. When the eldest princess and Chu Hongyi heard the news, their expressions changed at the same time: "The imperial study was attacked by an assassin?"
When Xuanyuan Yao heard the news, he immediately fell out of bed: "The jade seal was stolen?"
Xie Jiuye, who had never changed his expression even when the sky fell, finally realized the seriousness of the matter. His handsome face was covered with frost, and he asked coldly: "How many people know about this matter?"
The person who reported the news was Yang Baocheng, the commander of the imperial guard. He knew that this matter was not only about the country, but also about his own head, so he kept his mouth tight: "Right now, only I, Mr. Xuanyuan and the palm eunuch know about it."
After a pause, his eyes glanced at Xuanyuan Yao who came out of the inner room, and he added: "Prince Yao also knows."
At this moment, he was full of anxiety and obviously had no intention of wondering why Xuanyuan Yao appeared in Xie Family Jinyuan. He only knew that the loss of the jade seal would most likely put his life in danger, so his face was extremely pale and ugly.
Xie Jin looked up at him: "The eldest princess doesn't know either?"
"I sent someone to report the assassination of the eldest princess, Master Xuanyuan, but I didn't say anything about the loss of the jade seal." Commander Yang said in a low voice, "When I came in just now, I screened away the people here, for fear of accidentally letting the news slip, and I asked Master Jiu Forgive me.”
He is the commander of the imperial guards, and there is no need to be too respectful in front of Xie Jin, a fifth-level political participant. However, Xie Jin is a confidant of the regent who is accompanying the imperial study, so Xie Jin has a heavy responsibility for the loss of the jade seal, and he must know.
Even if I can hide it from Xie Chief Fu and Prime Minister Lu, I can't hide it from Xie Jin.
Xie Jin's eyebrows were deep, and even though his face was still a little pale, he couldn't hide the coldness and sharpness that suddenly returned to the corners of his eyes: "This matter must not be spread."
Commander Yang said: "I know."
"Before the Regent and His Majesty come back, the jade seal must be found." Xie Jin said coldly, "Investigate in secret, and don't make it public. If the news leaks out, I'm afraid you can't bear the consequences."
Commander Yang's face changed slightly, "I hope Jiuye will take more care."
Xie Jin certainly has to take care.
The loss of the jade seal is a serious matter. Not to mention that Commander Yang can't afford it, if he really can't find it back, he, the confidant in front of the Regent, will lose a layer of skin.
Xie Jin quickly changed his clothes and went into the palace with Commander Yang.
"I'll go too." Xuanyuan Yao said silently, "See if there's anything I can help with. If not, let the Black Obsidian Army find it. I don't believe we can't find it even if we turn the imperial city upside down--"
"Nonsense." Xie Jin frowned, "If a general mobilizes troops without permission, it can be considered treason. Do you want to bring King Huainan back to the imperial capital to be punished?"
Xuanyuan Yao was speechless for a moment.
Although he couldn't mobilize troops, Xuanyuan Yao still went into the palace with Xie Jin. Along the way, he looked as gloomy as water, and he seemed to have regained his former sinister and terrifying image of Master Xie Jiu, which made people feel unreasonably palpitating.
Xuanyuan Yao was silent for a moment: "Don't worry, the Lord made careful arrangements for the defense of the palace before leaving. Although the incident in the imperial study was beyond our expectations, there should be traces to follow, and it may not be difficult to investigate."
