Chapter 297 Too Bitter
Yuping's jaw almost dropped when she saw this scene.
"Uh...Miss..."
Although Mr. Xie is indeed very good-looking, but you... are you a little too impatient...
Jin Zhu looked at Shen Shuyi with a hard time describing the situation, and couldn't help but said, "I didn't expect you to be such a lady."
Qin Xin and Jian Po both kept silent. When they heard what the other two said, they nodded their heads like peeling garlic, expressing their deep agreement.
Shen Shuyi rolled his eyes at a few people, but his hands were busy: "What are you thinking about?"
Seeing Shen Shuyi starting to undress Xie Jingchi, the group of people looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.
Shen Shuyi didn't care what they were thinking, and focused on touching Xie Jingchi.
The first time this man was injured was when the Third Prince's men were searching the city, and the second time he was injured was when the Third Prince's men were searching the temple. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
The assassin that the Third Prince is looking for must be this Lord Xie!
But what is Xie Jingchi investigating?
No matter what he was investigating, if the battle of Lushan that year had a close relationship with the third prince's lineage, then the things in Xie Jingchi's hands were very likely related to Jiang Yanhu's death.
Even if it wasn't there, since the Third Prince had sent people to search for it several times, it must be something extremely important.
If he could get this handle, he would have a better chance of winning whether facing the Third Prince or Xiao Tingshan.
After touching for a while, Shen Shuyi finally found a list inside the man's underwear. Shen Shuyi touched the man's hot chest without changing his expression. Through the thin clothes, he could even hear his strong heartbeat.
Not to mention, Mr. Xie has a really good figure...
Shen Shuyi sighed silently, and without any hesitation, he directly turned out a piece of thin paper.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold before she opened them. The next moment, a cold dagger was pressed against her lower back. The man, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes at some point. His eyes were cold and deep. He stood behind Shen Shuyi, breathing weakly, and said with a bit of grievance, "I didn't expect Miss Shen to be such a person."
Shen Shuyi looked indifferent, his eyes fell on the list in his hand, and he said softly: "Master Xie woke up faster than I expected."
Xie Jingchi said: "I'm sorry to disappoint Miss Shen."
"You bold lunatic! Let my lady go!" Qin Xin came back to her senses and spoke in a cold voice.
Xie Jingchi ignored him, and Shen Shuyi didn't panic either. She just got closer and could smell the pleasant and refreshing fragrance on him, which was similar to the one Zhao Xueqing brought to her that day, but a little colder and more solemn than the one she chose.
Shen Shuyi pinched the thin paper between his index and middle fingers and shook it gently: "If Master Xie wanted to do something to me, he wouldn't have to wait until now. Besides, the Third Prince's people just saw you and me together. If anything happens to me, you will be held accountable."
Xie Jingchi covered the wound on his abdomen with one hand and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Shen has a sharp tongue, but this reason may not convince me."
Knowing that he couldn't be scared, Shen Shuyi said again: "I have read the list almost completely, sir, why don't you trust me for once, and we can talk openly."
Shen Shuyi wasn't sure whether Xie Jingchi would be willing to join forces with her, nor was she sure whether he would believe her.
After all, to her, Xie Jingchi was a capable minister who was not afraid of life and death and was dedicated to his country and his people. But to Xie Jingchi, she was just a girl whom she had met a few times.
"How can I trust you?" Xie Jingchi spoke in a low voice, his voice cold and solemn.
"What happened today is my sincerity, but I don't know if Lord Xie dares to believe it?" Shen Shuyi said bluntly.
The Shen family was assassinated on the way to pray for blessings. It has been a few days. If Xie Jingchi had heard about it, he would probably guess that she fell into the hunting ground of the third prince. There were many people from both sides in the hunting ground that day. People like Xie Jingchi would definitely get the news.
Xie Jingchi said in a deep voice: "It seems that Miss Shen has already made plans, but I don't know what Miss Shen wants."
After asking this question for a long time, Shen Shuyi didn't know how to answer it.
Just as Xie Jingchi would not easily believe her, she would not let him know that she was investigating the disastrous defeat in the Lushan Battle and Jiang Yanhu's treason.
So, what did she want?
For personal gain?
For all the people in the world?
Feeling indignant for the innocent deaths?
Or seek justice for the loyal ministers and generals who have been slandered?
Maybe both. In his previous life, when Xiao Tingshan regained his status as a prince, the Third Prince was in decline. He had been under the command of the Third Prince for many years and had made friends with many talented people. Moreover, because of his gentle and kind nature, he also made many close friends with his colleagues.
So once the third prince falls, the best choice for these forces is to join Xiao Tingshan.
Apart from this, Xiao Heyu is definitely not a good person. Although Shen Shuyi cannot be sure, since the Chai family has risen rapidly after returning to Beijing and has become Xiao Heyu's confidant, Shen Shuyi intuitively feels that Jiang Yanhu's treason was closely related to Xiao Heyu's lineage.
Those souls who were full of passion and defended the country but died tragically in the struggle for power; those heroes who went to the battlefield despite having parents and wives and children; those soldiers who worked hard and stayed up day and night but felt ashamed because of the defeat; those innocent people who were plundered...
Perhaps, these powerful people in the Daqian Dynasty finally owe justice to ordinary people like them.
I owe you an explanation.
After a long silence, Shen Shuyi slowly said, "I and Mr. Xie have the same request."
Xie Jingchi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Miss Shen, what do you think I want?"
Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes, hiding the depth in his eyes, and said softly: "For all the people in the world."
She really didn't know what she was asking for, but she thought that if one day, what she hated and wanted was contrary to the life and death of all the people in the world and contrary to lifelong suffering, she could also let go of her hatred.
Xie Jingchi's Adam's apple moved slightly. He slowly retracted the dagger in his hand and sat back on the couch.
Shen Shuyi turned to look at him and said, "Master Xie, what do you want to find from the Third Prince?"
All she found on Xie Jingchi was a list, but unfortunately, she didn't know what this list was used for.
Xie Jingchi's face was pale. Under the cold moonlight, his cold and handsome face showed a bit of evil and seductiveness. He looked at Shen Shuyi and said softly: "I will pretend that Miss Shen has never seen this list. As for what it is, it depends on Miss Shen's ability."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether she succeeded in convincing Xie Jingchi or not, at least this was a good start.
Shen Shuyi looked at Xie Jingchi, curved his eyes and said, "Did Mr. Xie not take the medicine?"
Xie Jingchi sighed and said, "I ate it and threw it up again."
Shen Shuyi felt sorry for the medicine and secretly cursed him for being so cautious: "Master Xie, don't you believe me?"
Xie Jingchi was silent for a while, then said in a muffled voice: "Not really."
"Why is that?" Shen Shuyi asked without giving up.
Xie Jingchi looked straight at her with his phoenix eyes, which made Shen Shuyi see some grievance in him: "It's too bitter."
Shen Shuyi: "..."
