Chapter 431: Even though I tried my best to grow, I still couldn’t catch up.
Xiao Tong had never used this method to seek anything for himself, and now he gave his only chance to Xiao Yuexi.
So, the emperor also went down the pole and fulfilled his wish.
Rather than sparing a princess and letting her live her life in glory and wealth, he was more afraid that the prince would be loved by the people and supported by all the officials.
Therefore, the emperor couldn't wait to issue an imperial edict, giving Xiao Yuexi the highest honor and even telling the world that she was the princess he was proud of.
A bunch of false reputations and a bunch of rewards are useless, but they can calm the situation!
On the second day of Xiao Yuexi's wedding, Xiao Shuyun came to Jinyan crying and told her that she didn't want to marry anymore.
It was not because she quit on her own initiative, but because Xiao Tong took the initiative to ask the emperor for this favor. Although Marquis Huai'an had no ability, he was famous for his neutrality and was deeply loved by the emperor.
Xiao Shuyun would not marry Xiao Tong. The emperor decided with a wave of his hand.
Even Jin Yan didn't know that the method Xiao Tong used to protect Xiao Yuexi was also the method Xiao Shuyun planned to use to protect Xiao Tong.
"I know that he has done a lot. He has suffered hardships, so he has supported many poor and down-and-out scholars. He has been on the battlefield, so he has given favors to families who have lost men. He has seen floods and suffered infamy for his people. For your own sake..."
"I found those people, and they all appreciated the prince's kindness. They were willing to follow me and marry the prince, but I didn't expect that he would use this method to help Yue Xi."
At this point, Xiao Shuyun's face turned gray, and even her lips lost their color.
She knew the news yesterday and stayed up all night.
She didn't know who she could talk to, but Jin Yan, she thought she could talk to her.
Jin Yan must know, she must know how good Xiao Tong is.
"Why? If he gets better, Yuexi will naturally be fine. Why can't he think about himself?"
Xiao Shuyun was confused and got into a difficult problem with no answer. She couldn't solve it and her face was full of confusion.
Jinyan's hand that was held by her had red marks. She lowered her eyes, patted the back of her hand, and whispered, "If you do this, the Huai'an Marquis Mansion will never be clean again. He Maybe I don’t want to implicate you.”
"I……"
Xiao Shuyun suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of surprise.
Jin Yan smiled lightly.
She once heard Xiao Shuyun say that she cooperated with Xiao Tong just because of his money. At that time, she didn't believe what kind of woman could invest her whole life's happiness for money.
What's more, she clearly knew that Xiao Tong's eyes were only on Xiao Yuexi.
Xiao Shuyun didn't disguise herself well, and it was because of her poor disguise that Xiao Yuexi felt a sense of crisis.
The intuition between women has always been very accurate. They all love Xiao Tong deeply, but because of their childhood friendship, they also get along awkwardly with each other.
Jin Yan admires Xiao Shuyun very much.
She did what she wanted to do but didn't dare.
They all know that there are grievances about Xiao Tong, and it does not apply to those who purge themselves to purify themselves at this time.
She also thought about using this method, but the thought only passed by in a flash. She couldn't put Prince Jin's Mansion and Wen Yan on the fire for Xiao Tong.
So when Xiao Tong told her that nothing would happen to Prince Jin's Mansion, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Shuyun was able to risk everything for him. Jin Yan thought she could not compare to such a friendship.
"I...I just did this because I haven't got the money yet."
The person next to him stared blankly at a certain spot on the ground and gave a reason that he might not even believe.
Jin Yan did not expose her, she held her chin with her hand and said quietly, "Some things can be hidden for a while, but not for a lifetime. This time he used this method to get rid of his siege. What about the next time? But for Yue Xi, only It needs to be done once, and it won’t happen again.”
"Forget it, in his eyes, Xiao Yuexi is good."
Xiao Shuyun smiled bitterly, her eyes full of sourness.
Jin Yan let out a sigh of relief and didn't answer any more.
No one can tell clearly whether the result of Xiao Tong's doing this is good or bad, because everyone has their own position, and Xiao Yuexi may not be happy for him to take care of herself in this way.
She wanted to stand side by side with him more than to be protected by him.
She tried her best to grow up, but found that she was still powerless and could only accept this result.
That's why she was so broken when she woke up yesterday!
After Xiao Shuyun left, Jinyan sat on the steps for a while.
Until Jin An hurried over.
"I heard about it, it's related to Xianguo, and it's related to the treason and corruption case in Fengshou Town."
Jin Yan came back to her senses, and countless memories rushed into her mind in an instant.
"Isn't the case closed?"
"But I heard that the prince had an account book in his hand at that time, but it was not made public. King Yi suspected that he had colluded with Xian Guo in order to protect the officials in the capital."
Jin Yan was stunned for a moment.
She knew the ledger very well, and Xiao Tong did not take it out at that time.
Suddenly thinking that Cui Yu, whom Xiao Yi said, was also on the list of accounts, Jin Yan frowned.
"Do you know about the ledger?"
Jin An asked carefully.
Jin Yan told him truthfully, "I found the account book and gave it to the prince."
"So this is really happening?"
Jin An was shocked and said, "If this is true, his reason for doing this will not be justified no matter what it is."
Yes, when Xian Guo is involved, things become difficult to reconcile.
"Brother, do you think the prince would do such a thing?"
"The reason why the emperor suffered was because people in the capital colluded to show off the country, and the country was almost destroyed. In recent years, Xi Yunnuo has been suppressed everywhere in the capital. The emperor has turned a blind eye, and even at the expense of the dignity of a great country, he has not stopped beating him. , he hated those people so much."
Jin'an did not answer Jinyan's question, but told her how much the emperor would care about this matter.
Even if there was even a slight possibility, and Xiao Tong was a thorn in his heart, it was time to pull it out.
The cold wind whizzed past the fallen leaves, and Jin Yan felt a chill, "What if there is something wrong with the ledger?"
Her voice was soft but deafening.
If that was a problematic account book, with treacherous ministers written on it, but also loyal ministers' names written on it, then the choice Xiao Tong made was quite normal.
She had seen Cui Yingying, she had also seen what Cui Yu had done in Pingzhou City, and she had even seen it in the magistrate's mansion. He should not be that kind of person.
The most important thing is that she believes in the person Wen Yan chooses and she also believes in Xiao Tong.
