Chapter 277 Breaking News
After meeting Luo Zheng, Xie Xiu returned home and told Tu Jiaojiao the news.
Tu Jiaojiao was indeed very disappointed after hearing this: "Haven't the Black Qilin Guards arrested many people recently? Why haven't they found that person yet?"
"That person was well prepared and had been hiding in the dark, never revealing himself. He was indeed difficult to catch. I know you are very angry, but the imperial concubine in the palace will only be more angry than us.
After all, that person's real target is the Jiang family, and our Yingying is just a casualty. He has been hiding in the dark and will definitely attack the Jiang family again in the future.
Both the Jiang family and Concubine Jiang want to catch that person more than we do, including Commander Lu.
Jia Sheng was poisoned in his Black Qilin Guard yamen, which was a slap in his face. He would never let it go and would definitely find a way to find that person.
Xie Xiu's words of comfort quickly put Tu Jiaojiao at ease.
She frowned and said, "That's good, but that person has been hiding in the dark, which is never a solution. I'm afraid that he will attack Yingying again one day. I don't want to see the same thing happen again."
Xie Xiu quickly comforted her: "No, the other party's previous plan has failed, and it's impossible for it to happen a second time."
He knew that Tu Jiaojiao had been living in fear ever since Xie Ying was nearly bitten that day, so he didn't dare tell her that the Chen family's downfall was also due to Xie Ying, for fear that she would be so frightened that she would get sick.
Anyway, even if he didn't say it, Tu Jiaojiao would keep a careful eye on the children and would not be careless.
Tu Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and suddenly asked, "What do you think? Can we get a dog and let it bite that guy when we catch him?"
Xie Xiu looked helpless: "Are you sure you want to keep a dog?"
Tu Jiaojiao thought of the horrific scene before and quickly shook her head: "Let's not do that. Yingying and Adi are too young. Don't hurt the children."
Xie Xiu knew this would happen, so he stopped trying to persuade her.
The days went on like this, and soon the day of the results announcement arrived.
Xie Xiu won the first place, while Jiang Er barely made the list and got the last place.
Even so, he was still overjoyed. He specially prepared a gift, took the initiative to go to Xie's house to present it, and invited Xie Xiu out for dinner.
Tu Jiaojiao had some grudge against him because of what happened before, and when she heard that he came to see Xie Xiu, her face turned very ugly.
However, she knew that the other party was of extraordinary status and she could not afford to offend him, so she stayed in the backyard and did not run to the front yard to chase him away.
Soon a servant came running to report that Xie Xiu accepted Jiang Er's invitation and went out with Jiang Er, telling her not to wait for him to come back for lunch.
Tu Jiaojiao was so angry that her face turned black.
She knew that it would be difficult for Xie Xiu to refuse, after all, there had been such a commotion a few days ago, and Jiang Er came to congratulate her this time, also intending to take the initiative to make friends.
If Xie Xiu refused the other party's invitation, he would be refusing Jiang Er's friendship, which would be detrimental to his future development.
Jiang Er's sister is not only a noble concubine, but now she has a prince. She will definitely be extremely noble in the future.
If Xie Xiu rejected Jiang Er at this time, it would be tantamount to destroying his own future.
But she still couldn't help being angry.
She was not angry because Xie Xiu continued to be friends with Jiang Er, but because she was angry that Xie Xiu took a risk.
The person who plotted against the Jiang family before has not been caught yet. No one knows where he is hiding and he may attack again at any time.
Xie Xiu is out to eat with Jiang Er now. What if someone attacks him?
Wasn't it that Jia Sheng was ambushed while drinking and accidentally killed someone? Later, the court posted a notice stating that the man had been poisoned and died of poisoning, not by Jia Sheng's beating.
But Jia Sheng still ruined his reputation.
Many people outside were saying that Jia Sheng attacked someone because he was competing with that person for a singer.
Tu Jiaojiao didn't want Xie Xiu to encounter such a thing.
What she didn't know was that as soon as Xie Ying heard Jiang Er coming to find Xie Xiu, she quietly sent Xiang Xiang over.
At this moment, Xiangxiang was hiding inside Xie Xiu's clothes, acting as a little bodyguard.
If the person hiding in the dark really dares to plot against Xie Xiu, Xiangxiang will be able to find him out.
Unfortunately, the banquet went very smoothly and no unpleasant incidents occurred.
Jiang Er was very tactful in introducing many friends to Xie Xiu. These people were all carefully selected by him, and none of them was as outspoken as Li Xiaosan.
They already knew that Xie Xiu had achieved enlightenment, and they praised him highly in their words. No one wanted to spoil the fun by mentioning Xie Yun and the others.
So everyone was very happy with the meal.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Er took Xie Xiu out for a tour, and finally sent him back personally. He sat in Xie's house for a while before leaving.
When Tu Jiaojiao heard that Jiang Er had personally sent the person back, she went out to thank him with a very enthusiastic attitude.
Only after Jiang Er left did her face darken and she asked Xie Xiu with some displeasure, "Didn't you say that guy hasn't been caught yet? Why did you dare to go drinking with Jiang Er? Aren't you afraid that guy is plotting something behind your back?"
Xie Xiu smiled confidently, "I dare to go because that person doesn't dare to take action at this time. The Black Kirin Guards have been investigating for so long and haven't caught anyone yet. They are really angry now.
He had finally managed to hide and avoid being caught. If he jumped out now, wouldn't he be walking into a trap? You also know that the man is hiding in the dark and may attack at any time. Don't you think the Jiang family doesn't know?
Have you ever thought about why Jiang Er invited me to a banquet at this time? Although he is a bit of a playboy, he is not a fool.
Tu Jiaojiao's eyes widened in surprise. "So you're saying that Jiang Er did this on purpose? He invited you to the banquet to lure out the person behind this?"
"He was genuinely congratulating me, and he really wanted to lure that guy out, killing two birds with one stone. But that guy was very cunning, hiding in the dark the whole time and not making a move.
I guess he will continue to hide for a while, wait until the storm is over and the Jiang family relaxes their vigilance, and then make another surprise move! "
After saying this, he smiled and added, "Of course, it's also possible that he won't make another move. After all, the palace should release the news soon."
Xie Xiu guessed correctly. Not long after the results of the provincial examination were announced, news about the little prince was released in the palace.
As the news came out, the government and the public were shocked!
No one expected that Concubine Jiang, who had been trying hard to have a child but failed, actually had another prince!
What’s more, the little prince who died that year was not Concubine Jiang’s biological son. Yang Tao, who has been living like a nobody all these years, is Concubine Jiang’s biological son!
Many people simply did not want to believe it, and even secretly suspected that Concubine Jiang was unable to give birth, so she came up with the idea of stealing her son. In order to protect her, Emperor Taihe deliberately slandered Empress Chen for switching the little prince.
However, they only dared to think about it in their hearts and did not dare to discuss it openly with others.
Many people also felt sorry for Empress Chen in the palace, thinking that she was the biggest victim.
Even though Emperor Taihe announced to the world that Empress Chen had been poisoning him, Concubine Jiang, and Yang Tao for many years, many people were unwilling to believe it and felt that Empress Chen was taking the blame.
It was not until Emperor Taihe released the explosive news that Empress Chen had given concubines to court officials and Chen Shou had seduced married women and given them illegitimate children that he successfully diverted everyone's attention.
As soon as this news came out, the whole government and the country were in an uproar!
