The man's actions brought her to a corner in a few moments.
Wen Jiu hid the dagger in his sleeve, and without thinking, he stabbed at his opponent.
"Wen Jiu!"
The young man suddenly spoke. His voice was slightly cold and she could not control herself and could only use force to shift the direction of the dagger. The young man also dodged and the dagger grazed past his shoulder.
Wen Jiu revealed surprise: "Third Brother? Why are you here at the Dijing as well? "
"Sooner or later, it will come."
Xie Xuan bent over and picked up the dagger on the ground and kept it in his sleeves.
The young man was dressed in a long, white robe. In the desolate imperial citadel, he looked especially thin and frail.
Every time Wen Jiu saw him, she would instinctively want to avoid him. But this time, when there was no one else by her side, she asked softly, "Those people from Shuntian …"
"He entered the capital with me."
Xie Xuan didn't have any intention of hiding anything from her, and said concisely: "So, you don't have to go."
The people they needed to use, the scenes they needed to sing, they had already arranged for them.
Wen Jiu couldn't help but rub between her brows. She should have long ago thought that these two brothers of Xie Family wouldn't sit still and wait for death.
However, it was because in their eyes, Wen Jiu was the same as the old mistress and little Violet Myrtle, targets that needed to be protected. They did not need to take the risk of being killed and run away.
"I have things to do."
Xie Xuan looked at her for a moment, then suddenly spoke out: "I've taken the dagger, you need to be careful while living in the Duke's Mansion."
After saying that, the youth turned around and left.
This matter was something that Xie Heng had to hide from her, he would not be blamed.
"Wait."
Wen Jiu called out to him.
Xie Xuan stopped, but didn't look back, as if he was extremely unwilling to speak to her again.
Wen Jiu chased two steps before walking in front of her, "I don't know what kind of preparations you guys have made, but there's still one other person, and I think it's important for Third Brother to look for him."
Xie Xuan turned around, "What are you talking about?"
Wen Jiu replied: "Eldest Princess Zhao Jingyi."
Eldest Princess was the eldest daughter of the current emperor. Although she was not the most favored one, her words had always been useful.
Of course, this Eldest Princess was not a simple person. After marrying three times and leaving twice, the third time, Prince Consort Prince's family was immediately exterminated.
When the other little princesses were still acting cute and begging for favors in front of Zhao Yi, this one had already established her Princess Mansion.
There was a need for pressure from the commoners in the outside world. In the palace, all the princes had their own goals, but those princes had their own reasons for speaking a few words in front of Zhao Yi. They did not need to be too impartial, it was sufficient enough to poke a finger into the emperor's heart.
Before Xie Xuan came, he had already roughly understood the situation of Dijing once.
Although the matters between the officials were complicated, they still had some breakthroughs, but the person that Wen Jiu was talking about, he had never thought about it.
Xie Xuan thought for a moment, then asked: "Why do I have to go?"
"This …"
Wen Jiu's expression was a little conflicted. How was she going to explain it to Xie Heng? Eldest Princess will fall in love with you at first sight, and will be dead set on you.
If she really said it like that, Xie Xuan would think that she was a fool, right?
Xie Xuan patiently waited for her for a while. Only then did Wen Jiu make up his mind, went close to his ear and said: "Eldest Princess has a bad temper.
Xie Xuan did not say anything, but his expression darkened slightly.
Wen Jiu rubbed his hands together, "Look, even after staying in the Dijing for so many days, I was still unable to find a youth that could enter the Eldest Princess's eyes. "Since we're going on this trip, just treat it as you doing it for your eldest brother …"
Without waiting for Wen Jiu to finish speaking, Xie Xuan flicked his sleeves, turned and walked to the other side, "Let's go."
The wind blew wildly, carrying the youth's plain clothes with it. It seemed as if he was going to fly away on the wind at any moment.
"That one."
Wen Jiu reacted moments later, and stood in place, "Third Brother, the Princess Mansion is over there."
The body of the teenager in front of her became stiff, and he slowly turned around. His eyes dimmed for a moment, and then, as if nothing had happened, he walked towards the direction Wen Jiu pointed to.
Wen Jiu heaved a sigh of relief.
It was probably because Xie Xuan had never stepped out of the Xie's Mansion since he was young that he always stayed at a corner, as if he didn't know the way out.
She followed behind him and brought him to the Yongle Workshop.
"Wen Jiu!"
Xie Xuan looked at the servant who was standing in front of the door to recruit guests. With a dark and handsome face, he turned and left.
Wen Jiu immediately pulled him back, "Third Brother, where are you going?!"
He had just arrived, there was nothing wrong with him. This Yongle Workshop was the largest and the best in the entire Dijing City. The left side of the building was filled with young servant, while the right side of the building was filled with beauties.
It was still daytime, so there were not many people around. It was very quiet.
Xie Xuan looked at the small servant in front of him who was holding onto his mirror with a face that could not be hidden, "Tell me! "What is this place?"
"Yongle Workshop."
Wen Jiu said: "This building is full of servants. Third Brother, are you nervous? It's okay, Eldest Princess has seen many handsome young men, they were very patient, and would not do anything to you as soon as they met.
"Wen Jiu!"
The youth grabbed her wrist, his expression close to being gnashing in anger.
She was confused by Xie Xuan and could not help but ask: "What happened?"
When Wen Jiu was doing business in his previous life, he had opened up a few other places. He was not unfamiliar with this kind of place, he just did not expect that the future Chief Minister would have such a huge reaction.
Could it be that it was because he was forcefully dragged here by her the first time he entered this place? Could it be that he felt humiliated?
"These past few days …"
Xie Xuan probably thought that saying such words was extremely shameful, after holding it in for a long while, he finally managed to say one sentence: "Are you all staying in this kind of place?"
Wen Jiu had also sent a greeting letter to the Eldest Princess Palace previously, but since all the Dijing knew that the person who made it here was troublesome, naturally, people like the Eldest Princess didn't like people like her. She didn't even accept any invitations, and directly made people shut their doors to thank customers.
She had to choose from the Yongle Workshop a few times, but it was a pity that Wen Jiu did not bring much silver there. Those servants who were especially good-looking were all expensive, so she could not afford it.
Who would have thought that she would meet Xie Xuan here.
"A hooligan?"
Wen Jiu hurriedly shook his head, "Third Brother, you misunderstand. Wanting to enter the Eldest Princess Palace is not an easy matter, I heard that during this period of time, after she had taken a nap, she had to find someone from the Yongle Workshop to perform music with, so I wanted to sneak in."
Xie Xuan remained silent.
He probably wanted to know if what she said was true or not.
However, Wen Jiu suddenly walked in front of him and solemnly bowed. "This Eldest Princess's words have a lot of weight in front of the emperor. I really can't find a youth with a better appearance than him …"
Before she could finish speaking, the youth suddenly raised his hand …
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The man's actions brought her to a corner in a few moments.
Wen Jiu hid the dagger in his sleeve, and without thinking, he stabbed at his opponent.
