Chapter 547 The Guilty Person

Xie Jin covered his head with his hands, and his tone contained no emotion or anger: "Yao Yao is the first person who dares to hit me on the head."

"What?" Xuanyuan Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and raised a hint of provocation at the corner of his mouth, "Does Master Jiu want to punish me?"

"I don't dare." Xie Jin put his arm around his shoulders, "Yao Yao can hit him anytime, any way he wants. I just like Yao Yao hitting me."

Xuanyuan Yao looked at him as if he was crazy: "Do you like being beaten?"

Xie Jin corrected: "I like being beaten by Yaoyao."

"That's really a shame." Xuanyuan Yao said coldly, "Choose a time another day, and I'll let you experience the feeling of being beaten."

"You need to choose a good day to hit someone?" Xie Jindanfeng raised her eyebrows, "I thought the only time to choose a day is to get married and have a bridal chamber——"

Bang.

Xuanyuan Yao punched him on the chin: "Go aside."

Xie Jin was in pain and couldn't help but mutter: "Yao Yao is so cruel."

"Am I ruthless?" Xuanyuan Yao glared at him, "When the Lord comes back, you will know who is ruthless."

Xie Jin was silent for a moment, then sighed and slowly sat up straight: "Yao Yao, can you please me for a little while?"

Always pouring cold water on him when he is in a good mood and ruining the atmosphere.

Xuanyuan Yao seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just frowned and said nothing.

He really couldn't maintain a good mood like Xie Jin, but it was useless to say anything now. The only business was to make amends as soon as possible.

The carriage drove outside the gate of Xie's house. Xie Jin got off the car and was about to walk to the house. When he turned around, he saw Xuanyuan Yao standing still. He couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?"

"I won't go in." Xuanyuan Yao hesitated for a moment, "I think your body is fine. Shouldn't we avoid suspicion?"

He thought of what Xie Jin had said before, that the Lord had warned him to be careful.

At present, Xie Jin has been charged with dereliction of duty. If the two of them again cause dissatisfaction to their master because of their secret exchanges and close interactions, there will be no explanation at that time.

Xie Jin was silent for a moment: "Yao Yao, do you believe me?"

Xuanyuan Yao's eyes fell on his face: "What do you mean?"

"I will shoulder all the responsibilities for dereliction of duty." Xie Jin's expression was rarely so serious, "Yao Yao stayed in Jinyuan for a few days to take care of my injury, and happened to encounter an assassin appearing in the palace. So I discussed the details of the investigation with me, and I think the Lord can understand why the training was delayed."

As for the rest, all mistakes, dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty are his sole responsibility and have nothing to do with anyone else.

After hearing what he said, Xuanyuan Yao's expression became calmer: "Do you think I broke off the relationship with you because I was afraid of taking responsibility?"

"No." Xie Jin chuckled, "I know Yaoyao is worried about me and doesn't want me to get more guilty, but I want Yaoyao to stay. Even if I have to face some unpleasant things because of this, I will willingly.”

Xuanyuan Yao said nothing.

He thought of what Chu Nanyi said, that they should stay rational, their feelings and responsibilities must be clearly divided, and they should not miss business because of feelings.

Although he is still not sure what his attitude towards Xie Jin is, since he knows that the Lord does not like them messing around, he should not distinguish between public and private at this juncture, otherwise he will not even be qualified to fight for it.

How can you have the confidence to negotiate terms if you are wearing a sinful body?

The theft of the jade seal cannot be fooled by a few words, let alone the lives of those people.

If Xie Jin was just an ordinary fifth-grade official, the regent would never convict him of this incident, because there were too many people who needed to bear the responsibility, and it would never be his turn.

But Xie Jin is not just a fifth-grade official.

He can even mobilize the imperial army.

Although he holds the rank of fifth-rank official, the power secretly given to him by his master is not comparable to that of First-rank Xie Chief Assistant and Prime Minister Lu. As the saying goes, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.

Xuanyuan Yao knew that for this trust, which was more important than Mount Tai, the price that had to be paid was also heavy.

Even if the Lord has not returned yet, we should not do anything to add fuel to the fire at this time.

After a moment of silence, he said: "I will accompany you to settle this case. You'd better restrain yourself from the rest."

Try to restrain yourself first?

Xie Jin thought about his words, his heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but have some hope.

Although Xuanyuan Yao's reaction in the past two days was enough to prove that he actually had himself in his heart, these words that seemed vaguely like a promise still made him feel happy.

Understanding the uneasiness in his heart, Xie Jin didn't want to add too much worry to him, so he had to suppress his desire first and nodded slowly: "Okay."

Xuanyuan Yao pursed his lips lightly and walked into Xie's house with him.

It is actually not difficult to investigate the case.

Even if the Emperor and the Queen Mother were involved, Xie Jin would not have any scruples. He walked into the study with Xuanyuan Yao, closed the door, and the two discussed it for about an hour.

When the servants of the Xie family came over to invite the two of them to dinner, it was already getting late, and it was already past dinner time. It was pitch dark outside, with only a few lights illuminating this night that was destined to be unusual.

Commander Yang came to Xie's house again.

"Master Jiu."

Xie Jin stopped and turned to look at him: "Why are you here again?"

Although he told the imperial guards not to allow anyone to leave the palace, Commander Yang was the commander of the imperial army and had the responsibility of patrolling inside and outside the palace, so he was not within the scope of restrictions.

"I heard from my humble position that the imperial guard had sealed the palace gate and said that no one was allowed to enter or leave." Commander Yang looked unhappy and felt that his power had been divided. "The King of Wei and the princess heard that something happened to Mr. Chen at noon, so they hurried in. Gong checks the situation, Master Jiu wants to trap them all in the palace? "

He did not expect that there were some people in the Forbidden Army who listened to Xie Jin, and when his orders conflicted with Xie Jin's, those people turned a deaf ear to his words.

Nothing like this has ever happened before.

Commander Yang showed respect to Xie Jin, partly because of Xie's first assistant, and partly because Xie Jin was now on duty beside the regent.

But the respectful attitude does not mean that his power should be taken away.

"Since King Wei and the princess came to see Xuanyuan Chen, why didn't King Wei and his wife leave with him when Mr. Chen left the palace?" Wang can understand.”

Commander Yang's face changed slightly: "King Wei was about to leave the palace, but his carriage was blocked at the inner city gate. He has already lost his temper. If the Emperor is alerted, I'm afraid things will get worse."

Xie Jin smiled, his brows and eyes sparkling, and he said, "It's just right, then let the Supreme Emperor participate in the investigation. The Regent and Her Majesty the Queen are not in the palace, and the Supreme Emperor is also responsible for maintaining order in the palace."

Commander Yang's expression suddenly changed, and he was speechless for a moment.
