Bargaining

Chapter 26 - Bargaining

The official walked forward to grab Xie Qingrong, but before he could ask anything, Nuan Xiang and Wen Yu rushed in and pushed the official aside, protecting Xie Qingrong behind them as they shouted loudly: "My family's Miss is the daughter of the General Xie, who are you, you dare to capture my family's Miss?"

Beijing Zhaoyin Yin Zheng was startled, she did not think that this woman's identity would be so high, and for a moment he was not sure what to do.

Xie Qingrong knew that the two maids were doing this for her own good, but if she were to leave like this today, if word of this spread, it would affect the Xie Clan.

She walked out from behind the two maidservants and said, "Don't be rude." He then nodded towards Beijing Zhaoyin and asked: "I wonder how Sir can you tell that this case is related to me?"

The Beijing Zhaoyin was surprised, but she quickly replied, "This official received a report that a corpse was found here. I hurriedly rushed over and coincidentally met with the Miss Xie. I have offended Miss Xie. Please forgive me. "

"No need to be so polite, my lord. I will try my best to cooperate with your interrogation, I hope you can return the victims justice." Xie Qingrong's expression and tone of voice were both indifferent.

"Of course. As an official, as a parent." After hearing what Xie Qingrong had to say, Beijing Zhaoyin started to have a good impression of him. It was hard not to think too highly of yourself.

"I wonder if Miss Xie can explain the situation from before." Yin Zheng asked politely.

Xie Qingrong nodded and said: "I originally wanted to bring my two maidservants over to put out the river lamp. I was a little tired, so I leaned on the tree trunk to rest. Sensing that something was amiss, she lifted her head and realized that the tree seemed to be made by this person. Even if I called out to him, he still wouldn't come down. I helplessly pushed at the tree and this person fell down by herself. From here on out, you guys came over. "

"Thank you very much Miss Xie." Although Yin Zheng felt that the Miss Xie did not seem to be a murderer, but nothing was absolute.

At this time, the coroner, who was already experienced with corpses, came over to report to Yin Zheng.

"Milord, there is only a single wound on the body of this deceased person. And the deceased didn't even show any signs of struggling, so he must have been accidentally killed. "

He then handed over a dagger to Beijing Zhaoyin and continued, "This was found on the body of the deceased, it matches perfectly with the wounds of the deceased."

The Beijing Zhaoyin was in a bit of a predicament, if the murder weapon was found on the dead person, then it would be very difficult to determine who the culprit was.

Xie Qingrong asked: "Master, can you let me see the dagger?"

"Sure."

Beijing Zhaoyin handed the dagger over to Xie Qingrong, who took it over to examine it carefully, and discovered that the pattern on the dagger was strange, she secretly memorized it.

He then returned the dagger to Beijing Zhaoyin, "Master, I still have some matters to take care of in my residence."

Beijing Zhaoyin said: "Please do as you wish, Miss Xie. This official is unable to send you off."

"No problem." Xie Qingrong brought Nuan Xiang and Wen Yu back to the Palace.

Returning back to the general's manor, Xie Qingrong sat in front of the desk and rested her chin on it as she thought.

Her intuition told her that this pattern was the key. She planned to look for Xuanyuan Chen tomorrow and give the pattern to him so that he could inspect it.

Placing the design aside, he wrote a name on it.

Shang Zhiqing felt that this person's background was a little strange. She suddenly appeared today. She first helped Nuan Xiang and Warm Jade through the crossword puzzle, and then won first place amongst the Poetry Conference s, shining her brilliance to the highest point.

Although her actions were a bit deliberate, for some reason, she couldn't find it strange that she couldn't hate this person.

Forget it, it's already late. I might as well take an early rest.

The next day, the sky was warm. The sun was lazily shining on the land. The gentle breeze blew across the treetops, bringing with it a sense of spring.

Xie Qingrong dressed up a little and directly brought the pattern to Prince Chen's Mansion, to the point where two servants were not allowed to follow him.

Inside the Prince Chen's Mansion's study, Xuanyuan Chen was flipping through the" National Policy", and then, he pushed the door open and entered.

Xuanyuan Chen raised his head slightly, and saw Xie Qingrong get closer and closer.

She wore a light green blouse and an embroidered green dress. Her long, black hair was tied into a high ponytail. There was nothing extra on it.

His eyes were like a cold pond as the thin lip slightly pursed its lips.

Xuanyuan Chen asked, "Why has the wangfei come today?"

Xie Qingrong frowned slightly, as if she did not like the title of 'wangfei'. However, she did not correct him in the end and only said indifferently, "You must have heard of what happened yesterday."

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Chen pretended not to know. This King does not know what things This King should have heard about. "

Xie Qingrong knew that Xuanyuan Chen was pretending not to know anything, and did not plan to fight with him, and directly said: "Beijing Zhaoyin has received the corpse case, Your Highness should be aware of it."

Xuanyuan Chen smirked and said, "This king has heard of this matter. Why is it that esteemed wangfei has come here for this matter?"

"My prince, there is no need for you to do this. A straightforward person does not lie. Today, I have come to discuss something important with you." Xie Qingrong said with a cold face.

"Oh? "Princess Hua-Yang is powerful, why would she need me?"

"Xuanyuan Chen! Are you done yet! "In that case, goodbye." Xie Qingrong said coldly. Her cold pond like eyes flashed with anger as she pursed her lips and turned to leave.

Not good, he had gone too far. Xuanyuan Chen originally wanted to make Xie Qingrong change his expression, but he didn't expect that he would actually make her angry. He immediately blocked Xie Qingrong's path in front of him with a stride, grabbed hold of Xie Qingrong with her long arms and hugged him tightly.

Comforting: "This King is only joking with you. Why are you so angry?"

"Hmph." Xie Qingrong scoffed coldly, her expression did not change, and she did not say a word.

Xuanyuan Chen pinched Xie Qingrong's small face, it was smooth and soft, it was quite fun, he pinched it again. Xie Qingrong stared at Xuanyuan Chen, her eyes were round and extremely cute, the coldness between her brows had been washed away.

Xuanyuan Chen curled his lips, and said with a faint smile. "I never thought that this duke's wangfei would have such a cute side."

Xie Qingrong frowned. Just as she was about to speak, she realized that she was being held in Xuanyuan Chen's embrace, and her expression was somewhat stiff. She said coldly, "Let go, or else don't blame me for being impolite."

Xuanyuan Chen hadn't hugged enough, so naturally, he wasn't willing to let go. However, when he saw Xie Qingrong's frowning appearance, he endured it and reluctantly let go, saying in a wronged tone, "Wangfei is really merciless. This king and Wangfei will become husband and wife in the future, so what if I hug you a bit?"

[This guy actually felt wronged. Didn't he always remain calm and rational?!] Now, what was the point of making a ruckus?

Xie Qingrong was extremely helpless, "My prince, I have something important to discuss with you today, so it won't be too late to discuss it after we're done."

"Alright, but after we're done with the business, you have to accompany This King for lunch." Xuanyuan Chen bargained.
