In all, Xie Chi had only met with Tong Tong in two formal occasions. One was the Heartbreak Palace, and the other was the Grass Hall of the Imperial College.

Xie E also didn't know why Tong Guan was purposely scheming against him. Ximen Qing's journey was like asking for directions, if Ximen Qing went back and exposed Xie E's past, the matter would become extremely complicated.

Forget about everything else, just the crime of deceiving the sovereign was enough for Xie E to take a bite out of it.

Xie E frowned. If Tong Guan really was standing in front of him as an enemy on purpose, when Ximen Qing went back to see Tong Guan, even if he confirmed his identity as Xie Xi Dajie, he would have had his facts distorted.

Tong Guan's power and influence was overflowing, and wanting to squash Ximen Qing to death was even easier than stomping a cockroach to death, but Ximen Qing obviously could not hold on.

Xie E really couldn't think of a reason for Tong Guan to do this. At least, for the time being, Xie E was at most a talented youngster, and he was extremely low-key towards politics. He was not a threat to Tong Guan at all.

Let alone Tong Guan, even if Xie E wanted to bring down the eunuch of another powerful sect, Yang Jian, it would be impossible.

After all, the relationship between the two princesses was too close, and Tong Guan could not ignore it.

Xie E was noncommittal to Ximen Qing's question, but he said, "Brother Ximen, you shouldn't have come. You're being too rash, do you know of your current situation?"

Ximen Qing was stunned, "Where did this brother come from?"

Xie E let out a long sigh and continued to speak, "The forces in the palace are extremely complicated. If you and I were not old acquaintances, then I would be the end of my days in the palace. With Tong Guan's personality, how could you be spared? Even if you and I are old acquaintances, if Tong Guan were to use force to force you to deny me, what about it? "

Ximen Qing was stunned. Although he was a shrewd businessman, he was not mentally prepared for the open rivalry and covert strife in the government.

Although Ximen Qing could be considered a great character in Qing He County, he was still nothing in the capital.

Ximen Qing knew that Xie E was not bluffing, and did not care about it too much.

Ximen Qing did not try to show his loyalty in front of Xie E, because speaking empty words was useless. He really had placed the blade on his own neck, so much so that his own mother and father did not even care.

Xie E saw that Ximen Qing was a man of few words and immediately helped Ximen Qing up. "Brother Ximen, you don't have to be like this. Let's not talk about the past. We are good brothers now. I, Meng Tianzi, have the kindness to change my name to Xie E and bestow upon you the name of Yuan Fang. "As for today's matter, I'm afraid it will require a great deal of effort."

When Ximen Qing heard that there was hope, he quickly stood up. "Good brother, what brilliant plan do you have?"

Xie E knew that Ximen Qing was in the medicinal herb business, had a lecherous personality, and had a deep understanding of the arts in his room.

Xie E leaned towards Ximen Qing and whispered, "Does Big Brother Xi Men have any rare medicinal herbs?"

Ximen Qing did not know what Xie E meant and said in astonishment, "What other rare medicinal herbs is the palace lacking? "Brother, you must be joking."

Xie E laughed and said, "Although the palace has all the medicinal ingredients, if brother has any good recipes …"

Xie E said as he made an extremely coarse gesture.

Ximen Qing suddenly came to a realization and immediately became spirited, "Bro, you really did find the right person to ask about this, I opened the medicine shop for you just to find some kind of miraculous formula. But what do you want this for, brother? "

Xie E laughed loudly, "The entire world is filled with men. Men are all good at this, if you really have a good prescription for your majesty, the prescription will become a protective talisman!"

Ximen Qing was not an idiot, he was waiting for Xie E to beat his chest and bring him to the Emperor.

As the two of them were happily chatting, Wang Hai's voice came from outside, "This humble subject pays her respects to Princess Qing Qing!"

The voice was loud, but it was meant for the people in the house.

"Escort, where's Xie E?"

Zhao Ju knew that Xie E had been practicing very diligently these days, and she didn't have the nerve to yell to take down the bed.

Xie E hurriedly opened the door to welcome his. "This subject greets Princess Xie E for all his thousand years of life …"

Ximen Qing also knelt down to pay his respects.

Zhao Ju frowned, "Enough, enough. Get up early in the morning or something like that. "Who is this?"

Xie E laughed: "He is from your village, and specially came to visit me from Qing He County."

< p > "Oh?"

Zhao Ju could not help but look at Ximen Qing a few more times.

Ximen Qing suddenly thought of something, and took out an exquisite small box from his bosom, "This is a piece of jade passed down from my family, if you find the eyes of the princess, please accept it."

Zhao Ju received the embroidered box, and when she opened it, she found that it was actually a Jade Rabbit, high quality Green Jade. The quality of the jade was not bad, but the carving skills were slightly rough.

Ximen Qing was from the same hometown as Xie E, so their relationship seemed to be pretty good. Zhao Ju happily accepted the gift, "I really have to thank this person …"

"Ximen Qing."

Xie E reported his name to the west gate.

It's getting late. We should go to the university.

Zhao Ju looked at Xie E.

Xie E told Ximen Qing to go back and deal with Tong Guan first, and to probe Tong Guan's situation.

Ximen Qing agreed to leave immediately.

< p > "Wait a moment,"

Xie E was still worried, he called Wang Hai over, "Big brother Wang, do you have any close friends with the capital's Imperial Army?"

"Yes, I have a distant cousin who can call for me to be on tenterhooks. He's a commander of Imperial Army."

Wang Hai replied.

"That's great. Brother Xi Men has never been to the capital before. Then I'll have to trouble Brother Wang to take care of him."

Xie E whispered in his ear that he must ensure Ximen Qing's safety.

Wang Hai patted his chest as a guarantee and personally brought Ximen Qing out of the palace.

Only then did Xie E relax and followed Zhao Ju to the Grass Hall.

Why is there someone visiting you? Do you still have family there? "Do you have an unmarried wife?

Zhao Ju kept asking Xie E, forcing him to spout nonsense to just barely answer.
