Chapter 23

"Let's wait until you feel better!"

When they arrived at the gate of the princess's house, Xie Juan helped her out of the carriage and planned to go to Dali Temple. "Princess, go back first! I'll go find my second brother."

Chaohua also wants to go, but if she goes, everyone in Dali Temple will be nervous. If she goes to Dali Temple as a princess, she might even make her father dissatisfied.

Thinking about how to get more favor, maybe you can know the answer in advance by watching the plot, "Well, then you come back early, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Well, whatever! I'm not picky about food." Xie Juan's expression was as usual, and his deep facial features were born with a cold aura.

People who don't know him well can't tell whether he is happy or unhappy.

Xie Zheng was investigating other cases in Dali Temple and was surprised when he came in. "Brother is in a good mood. Is there anything good at the Chu family banquet?"

When Xie Juan sat down, he would not easily tell others that he was in a good mood because his wife called him to go home for dinner.

After spending a few days with Chaohua, he found that the little princess didn't seem that annoying.

She has her own cuteness, except that she has a bad temper, loves bathing, loves to be clean, and is arrogant.

The little princess is quite adorable.

He has a delicate and soft body, and after hugging him for a while, his body is covered with her sweet scent, which makes him feel comfortable both physically and mentally all day long.

"It's nothing good. Why don't you quickly investigate the case of the princess' poisoning?"

"It's been a few days. Chaohua will be in danger if we delay it any longer."

No one in Taiyuan Hospital can detoxify the poison in her body, and no one knows what kind of poison it is.

Xie Juan calmly glanced at the case documents on his hand and frowned, "Why have other cases been investigated? Who is in charge of the princess's case now?"

Xie Zheng felt a headache, "The emperor already knows that our chicken coop was sprayed with poison. If we can't find the murderer, we have to find a way to detoxify the princess first."

"Brother, if you are in a hurry, you can go find Master Bodhi. Maybe he can help the princess detoxify."

"The case I'm working on is quite urgent. Many children of ordinary people have disappeared mysteriously recently."

He felt it was more important to get the child back.

The person who would poison the princess in the blink of an eye was not caught so quickly. Since he had a way to poison the princess without anyone noticing, he had already thought of a way to escape unscathed.

Xie Juan saw that his face was tired, as if he hadn't slept well for several days, "How many days have you not been home?"

"The princess hasn't been home much since she was poisoned."

Xie Juan frowned, "Then I'll check it myself, you go ahead."

"By the way, the emperor didn't reprimand you for your incompetence?"

Xie Zheng pinched his eyebrows and said quietly: "I was scolded."

"..."

"It's just a scolding, so that's fine."

The emperor both valued and feared the Xie family. Emperors were like this. He was too paranoid. Let him understand that the Xie family had no ambitions and just got used to it. Fortunately, Xie Juan married his precious daughter, even if Emperor Mingde was right.

If the Xie family is dissatisfied and wants to kill the donkey, they will weigh it.

Xie Zheng rolled his eyes at him, "So what do you mean, brother, you've made a huge sacrifice?"

"Isn't that right? I ask you to marry the princess, but you don't agree to it!" Xie Juan snorted.

Xie Zheng: "..."

He doesn't like women like Chaohua.

"I don't covet beauty."

Xie Juan coughed and almost choked to death, "Okay! This prince is greedy for beauty. Remember what you said today. When you marry a wife in the future, I will see whether you marry a beautiful one or an ugly one."

Xie Zheng and the others are all scholars, and their ideas are different from Xie Juan. Compared with them, Xie Juan is probably a rough guy.

He loved learning martial arts since he was a child, but did not like studying.

When he initially agreed to let him marry the princess, he didn't agree because Chaohua was interested in someone else and liked Gu Wang. Who wants to marry a woman who thinks about someone else?

What's more, Chaohua is a princess, a proud daughter of heaven, with a noble status. Even if she cuckolds him, he can't kill her, maybe divorce her.

The family asked Xie Zheng to marry because he was the legitimate son of the second wife and it was most suitable to marry a princess. However, Xie Zheng was usually the most filial, but when it came to marrying a wife, he strongly opposed his parents' arranged marriage. He was unwilling to marry anyone he didn't like.

In addition, the queen was interested in the rejection papers, so there was no way for the family to get together to discuss and just let them pass.

After Xie Juan went to see the little princess, he agreed to the marriage. There was no reason. He just liked the princess's beauty and appearance.

It is not wrong to say that he is greedy for beauty.

But he only covets the beauty of the princess!

Xie Zheng knew that his eldest brother was actually selected by the royal family for the safety of the family. They could not resist the order. They knew that he had actually suffered a lot of grievances in the princess's mansion, so they did not dare to cause him displeasure.

"Isn't eldest brother happy after marriage?"

"Humph, I am so happy."

Xie Juan would not tell him that he was disliked for not bathing, being rude, and smelling of sweat.

That's so embarrassing. Chaohua is the only one in the entire capital who dares to despise him like this.

So far, the marriage has not been consummated, and I have not had a bite of meat.
