Chapter 552: Not Doing Your Job

Besides, the secret passage under the imperial study was narrow, long and winding. It was noon when Wei Mama brought Xuanyuan Yan out. They were so nervous that they quickly changed their clothes and hid themselves, paying attention to the movements outside. They were even more afraid that there were ears behind the wall, so they spoke carefully.

How dare they talk about the hiding place of the jade seal without authorization?

So, she actually knew about it?

The emperor looked at her deeply and was really speechless.

He could never have imagined that at this time when he had abdicated for a year and the new emperor had ascended the throne for more than a year, there were still people who did such a stupid thing under his nose.

"When the incident happened in the Imperial Study, Xie Jin was not present. However, in such a short period of time, ordinary people would have to mobilize a large number of troops to investigate the case for several days. However, he directly brought people to Yong'an Palace to arrest people, and accurately found the evidence of Wei Ma's guilt. It is enough to show that the Regent has a omnipotent hand in the palace, and his spies are everywhere." He spoke slowly, "The secret passage can certainly make Yan'er move more smoothly and temporarily avoid other people's sight, but..."

But once the matter gets out of hand, how easy is it to hide the movements of any part of the palace from the eyes of those spies?

The Queen Mother's face was visibly depressed: "So there is no way now?"

"Whoever caused the trouble should bear it himself." The Emperor raised his hand tiredly, "It's late at night, you should go back and rest."

After the voice fell, the Queen Mother suddenly lost all her strength.

…

“Xie Jin! Xie Jin! Let me out!” In the innermost single cell of the Ministry of Justice, Xuanyuan Yan grabbed the solid wooden railing and roared, “You framed this prince, and the emperor will not forgive you! Let me out! Let me out!”

“You want to live a peaceful life, but you choose to die. Do you really think you can sit on the throne by robbing the jade seal? It’s ridiculous.” Xie Jin stood outside the cell with his hands behind his back. His delicate and noble eyebrows looked cold under the dim light of the cell, and even the smile on the corner of his lips was cold and sarcastic. “You don’t even know your own weight, and you dare to covet the throne?”

Xuanyuan Yan stared at Xie Jin with resentment, He really regretted not executing the legitimate son of the Xie family who never took him seriously when he was still the crown prince: "Xie Jin, you will not die well!"

"Whether I die well or not, Master Yan probably won't be able to see it." Xie Jin said calmly, "But I can see how Master Yan died."

After saying this, he turned around and ordered: "Take good care of Master Yan in the next two days. If he gets into an accident before Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent come back, be careful that your heads will be moved."

He had Xuanyuan Yan and Madam Wei locked up separately, Xuanyuan Yan in the men's cell and Madam Wei in the women's cell, so the two had no chance to collude with each other.

The guards who were transferred to guard the prison overnight were all shocked, bowed their heads and accepted the order, and then dispersed in an orderly manner, guarding the cells inside and outside tightly to ensure that not a mosquito could fly out.

Xie Jin wanted to say something else, but his eyes fell on Xuanyuan Yan's gloomy and pale face in the cell. He was silent for a moment, and then raised the corners of his lips coldly.

Disdain, ridicule, contempt.

Such a stupid and incompetent waste, apart from taking shortcuts and wishful thinking, does he really have any ability to fly into the sky and hide in the ground?

Xie Jin turned and walked out of the cell, turning a deaf ear to Xuanyuan Yan's hysterical shouting behind him.

The upright young man stood at the exit with bright lights, silently looking at the sky, his profile was elegant and refined. If it weren't for the straight posture that only the well-trained soldiers in the barracks had, he really didn't look like a military general.

Such an outstanding young man, with a handsome face, is a leopard-like body and an upright and kind character. Even his temper is cute. How can it not make people's heart move?

Xie Jin stopped to admire for a moment, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and walked up the narrow stone steps one by one.

The young man turned around when he heard the voice, his eyes fell on him, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned: "Is it over?"

"What else can I do?" Xie Jin said indifferently, "I am a little surprised that the emperor didn't stop it."

If the emperor was determined to protect Xuanyuan Yan, there would be a stalemate tonight. No matter how arrogant Xie Jin was, he was unwilling to draw a sword in front of the emperor, so it was obviously pleasing to be able to resolve this matter peacefully.

"Xuanyuan Yan didn't make a scene?"

"Of course he did." Xie Jin smiled faintly, "I'm not so overbearing as to shut his mouth. He can make as much noise as he wants and shout as much as he wants. He will stop when he gets tired."

At this point, he tilted his head and glanced at the handsome young man beside him: "Both of you are sons of the royal family and are of similar age, so why are you two so different?"

Xuanyuan Yao was slightly stunned by such a compliment, and then looked at him expressionlessly: "A dragon gives birth to nine sons, and each son is different. My father and the King of Wei are brothers. , they all have different personalities, not to mention that Xuanyuan Yan and I are cousins? You have so many sons in the Xie family, aren't they all different? "

Xie Jin smiled: "Yaoyao has become much more eloquent recently."

"I learned it from you." Xuanyuan Yao said calmly, "The noble sons of the imperial capital are all foxes, they have to beat around the bush when they say something, and they talk like women. I have long said that you are all used to fighting in the harem, keeping the wonderful dust, and it is as lively as a big show every day."

Even if there are so many conspiracies and intrigues that people die is commonplace, it is still lively.

Xie Jin's expression is strange: "Is Yaoyao mocking me, or expressing his dissatisfaction with the sons of the imperial capital?"

Xuanyuan Yao was silent: "I am just telling the truth."

The two of them walked outside the palace together. It was obvious that they had just finished the case and arrested someone, but the atmosphere seemed to be particularly good at this time.

Xie Jin even hoped that the road out of the palace could be longer.

Along the way, groups of Imperial Guards greeted them and walked past them with a half salute. The patrolling and defense in the palace became tense to the naked eye.

"After leaving the palace, Yaoyao should go directly back to the military camp." Xie Jin was a little reluctant, but he didn't want to be emotional at the moment. "I will handle the other aftermath matters."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yao glanced at him sideways: "What? Are you finally afraid?"

Xie Jin was indeed afraid.

I was afraid that the little leopard would be implicated, and I couldn't bear to make him frightened.

Xie Jin sighed: "Who asked me to neglect my duties? But it will be aggravated. After you return to the military camp, train well and don't leave the camp without permission. Otherwise, the Lord will accuse us of secretly giving and receiving. Besides, if I seduce you into not doing your job properly... I’m afraid it’s hard to say whether I can save my life.”

Xuanyuan Yao sneered: "So you still know that you are tempting me to not do my job properly?"
