Chapter 136 I have never seen anyone rush to die...
When Lu Jingxing heard him say this, he actually looked at him several more times.
He saw the old man in front of him.
It was the prefect who failed to complete his task.
His eyes narrowed.
Xie Yunliu couldn't understand it. Clearly at the beginning, the prince was moved by his words, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to want to trample him to death.
He tried hard not to let his calves shake, swallowed the old talk, and spoke hesitantly, "Your Majesty, there are places where I said something wrong, please explain it clearly."
Lu Jingxing sneered, wondering how long this poor prefect could hold out. He waved his sleeves heavily, "Xie Yunliu, do you admit your guilt?"
The prince's sleeves almost knocked him to the ground. He could not take care of his balance and staggered. He said anxiously, "Do you admit your guilt? I know, I know it very well, Your Majesty, I was wrong. I did not complete the task you assigned me."
"I also let the princess run away right under my nose. Your Majesty, please take me with you when you go to the border this time, so that I can make up for my mistake."
After saying that, he fell to the ground with a thud.
Fang Fang was wearing an official hat with two long horns, which was tilted on the side of his head and just covered half of his eyes.
Accompanied by a cry of "ouch", the scene was really funny. If it weren't for the presence of Prince Gu Nian, everyone would have burst into laughter!
Lu Jingxing looked at him lying on the ground with his legs up in the air, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be angry or disgusted. His eyebrows were so tight that they could almost pinch a fly to death.
He kicked him hard, with a hint of anger in his tone, "Xie Yunliu, get up quickly!"
Xie Yunliu heard it and kept nodding in response while trying to get up. Maybe he was really old, as he failed after several attempts.
Lu Shiyi couldn't bear it any longer. This old man had helped him a lot these days.
So he said, "Thank you, Magistrate. I will help you."
He stretched out a leg, placed it on his back, and lifted it up with a little internal force.
Although the action was not so beautiful, Xie Yunliu was still very emotional, "Thank you, big brother!"
He did not give his master a chance to speak, and continued to recommend himself, "Your Majesty, don't look at me like this now, when the time comes, I will definitely be the first to do my job and die before I stop!"
"Besides, I am only old physically, but my mind is still very flexible. It would be great if the prince could take me with him as a military advisor!"
Lu Shiyi felt sorry for him being like this at his age, so he decided to help him, "Your Majesty, what Prefect Xie said makes some sense."
Xie Yunliu gave him a look secretly, meaning thank you, big brother!
A bunch of people stood there, not daring to say a word. The prefect did speak, but...
He didn't see it, so he didn't have a headache. He turned his back to everyone and said coldly, "Well. That's it for today. Everyone, leave. We'll set off tomorrow morning."
He pinched Xie Yunliu and said, "Just follow me and make amends!"
It wasn't all Lu Shiyi's fault. Xie Yunliu had been an official in this area for more than 20 years.
They all traveled around to varying degrees, and were always more familiar with the terrain than their own men...
Xie Yunliu was so happy that he almost jumped up when he heard this! His gray beard puffed up with joy.
Everyone: You lunatic, I have never seen anyone so happy rushing to die.
Lu Jingxing noticed that everyone had left. He had a severe headache at the moment and thought that maybe going out for some fresh air would help.
When I turned around, I found Lu Shi was still in the room.
"Why are you still standing here? Is there anything else you haven't finished talking about?"
"No…"
"I just want to remind you to rest early."
How is it possible? Lu Shi has always been a straightforward person. This time, he was even more suspicious. "Tell me, what else is there to say? If there is no problem in the capital."
His long eyelashes were slightly pressed down, and the fatigue in his eyes was more obvious!
Lu Shi was a little reluctant, but still said it out loud, "There's news from the capital, the letter said Princess Yaoyao ran away quietly on her way back to the palace with the Crown Prince and there has been no news since then.
The Emperor originally said that he would let the princess do what she wanted and would not intervene any more, but Concubine Ye was reluctant to leave and came to the Imperial Concubine to beg her, so the Emperor wanted the Prince to find out more about the princess as well. "
After hearing this, Lu Jingxing was not as angry as Lu Shi had imagined.
Yaoyao must have gone to visit the peacock, so there was nothing to worry about. "Got it, go and reply to the message and tell them that I will definitely do my best."
He passed the news to Concubine Ye. He couldn't bear to see her sad. To him, Concubine Ye was like another mother to him.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately."
……
Under the moonlit corridor in the backyard of Xie's mansion, Ping'er was looking around anxiously. Her usually smiling face had completely lost its former charm.
His eyebrows immediately tightened into a straight line until he saw Lu Shiyi walking towards him in the moonlight in the distance.
Just as she relaxed, she trotted over to greet him and asked, "Shiyi, how is it going? Is there any news about the princess today?"
When Lu Shiyi saw the anticipation in the little girl's eyes, he was speechless for a moment.
"Tell me quickly! Where is the prince going to find the princess next? Is the princess safe now?"
Seeing that he had talked for a long time but the other party didn't say anything, he stamped his feet and said, "Forget it, I'll go find out myself. The princess is right, if a man is reliable, even a sow can climb a tree!"
It's not that he didn't want to tell her, he was just afraid that if he told her, the little girl would cry again. Lu Shi opened his arms to stop her.
"Ping'er, listen to me first. First of all, the princess is still alive and well. The prince has ordered to set off tomorrow."
Seeing that the little girl was no longer so excited, he felt relieved and hugged her in his arms.
The tone was both comforting and aggrieved. "Also, please stop crying. You've been crying every day these days, and it breaks my heart."
"I know you are worried about the princess, but you have to think about me too. What will I do if you get hurt from crying?"
At this moment, Ping'er nestled in the man's chest, feeling his genuine heartbeat. She felt a little sad, but then she thought of the princess, and she burst into tears.
"Shiyi, it's all my fault. If I had been with the princess that afternoon, maybe she wouldn't have been kidnapped by the thieves."
She sniffed, raised her misty eyes, and looked up at the man, "If I hadn't abandoned the princess that day, perhaps the thieves would have taken me away with them. That way, the princess would at least have someone to serve her."
Lu Shiyi was extremely distressed, his eyes were red, and he gently rebuked her with a hint of coaxing, "Nonsense, the princess is missing, it's the fault of the people, don't torture yourself like this anymore."
With a sigh, he looked at the little face that was corroded by tears and even had red bloodshot, and he hugged her tightly, "Little girl, don't torture me anymore."
The more Ping'er heard him say this, the more she wanted to cry. Her tears fell like pearls from a broken string, and soon Lu Shiyi's chest was wet.
Lu Shiyi had no choice but to wait for her to cry enough as usual, and then put her to bed and coax her to sleep...
