Zhao Zhen's crying caused Zhao Ji's head to hurt, but Zhao Ji had never seen a goose feather fan before, so he was determined to bury this treasure.

Xie E was secretly amused, although he looked like he was coaxing Zhao Zhen on the surface, he was actually coaxing him with a little bit of fire in her words. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, the more he ran out of the palace and headed towards the palace.

Zhao Ji couldn't care less either. Seeing that Zhao Zhen had ran away, she felt less worried, so she asked Xie E, "You seem to have come a little earlier today. Say it, what's the matter?"

Xie E laughed: "There's nothing else. This humble subject has a comrade from the same hometown, and he's a merchant that does medicinal herbs. I came to the capital to seek my relatives and friends for a name."

Zhao Ji frowned.

Zhao Ji hated these kind of people who were on friendly terms with each other. However, in reality, in the imperial government controlled by Cai Jing, Tong Guan and the others, it was normal for officials to pay for their jobs.

Zhao Ji was slightly pained: "This kind of person, even in terms of quantity, doesn't have much ability. How can the salary of the imperial government be compared to it?"

Xie E shook his head. If Zhao Ji had the slightest talent in painting, the Northern Song Empire would not have fallen so quickly.

Xie E said: "This person truly does not have much ability. There is only one thing that the Emperor might be interested in."

Zhao Ji knew that Xie E would not easily keep him in suspense, so he scolded with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush with me, if you don't, we will settle the debt with you."

Xie E immediately begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, don't make things difficult for me. It's like this, this person has been in business for many years, and has learnt many techniques within rooms. Many of them are wondrous …"

Xie E's words had hit the nail on the head.

Zhao Ji's body had already become weak. If not for the elixirs supporting him in the palace, Zhao Ji might have already left the harem.

After all, Zhao Ji was already in his forties, and was no longer young, so he anxiously asked: "Is there really such a strange person?"

Xie E was overjoyed. Just a moment ago, he was still looking down on the other party, but now, he actually changed his name to "Odd Man".

Got it.

Xie E still had confidence in Ximen Qing. After all, Ximen Qing had the authority of the Dao, so he bowed and said: "Why not summon him and give it a try."

Zhao Ji was overjoyed, just as he was about to order Ximen Qing to enter the palace, he suddenly thought of something, and swallowed down the words in his mouth, and changed his words: "Err … "Then I would like to ask that you, my beloved one, take the trouble to announce this person to the imperial garden and await his decree on my behalf."

Xie E's lips curled up in an evil smile as he deliberately shifted his gaze towards the curtain.

Zhao Ji was shocked, thinking that Xie E had seen through his trick. He immediately looked in the direction of Xie E's gaze, but he could not see anything.

Xie E's smile became wider, he knew that Xie E had guessed something, and laughed: "Why are you not going yet, do you want to go against the decree?"

Xie E laughed as he bid farewell to Zhao Ji and went to look for him.

Ximen Qing followed Wang Hai out of the palace. Tong Guan had long left, leaving behind a chief eunuch who was waiting for Ximen Qing.

Wang Hai recognized the manager, and went forward to pay his respects, "Yo, isn't this Eunuch Liang? "What is it?"

This chief eunuch was named Liang Shicheng, and was definitely one of the top figures in the palace. He was one of Tong Guan's trusted aides.

Tong Guan specially instructed Liang Shicheng to be sure to bring Ximen Qing to the Privy Council, but he did not expect Wang Hai to personally send him out.

Liang Shicheng laughed: "Where is Commander Wang going?"

Liang Shicheng's meaning was very obvious. As the commander of the imperial guard, although he was not as strict as the eunuchs in the palace, the crime of leaving the palace without permission was definitely not a small matter.

Wang Hai was furious in his heart. had always looked down upon Liang Shicheng, who was a small fry and mighty person, and humphed heavily: "I am under the command of the Princess of Chong Nation, to escort this Brother Xi Men back to his residence."

< p > Wang Hai stressed the word "escort".

Liang Shicheng felt awkward and coughed a few times. "Since Commander Wang has a job, I won't disturb you any longer, please do so."

Wang Hai cupped his fist and said, "Please."

With that, he brought a few guards and left the palace. When they reached the inn, they let Ximen Qing pack up his luggage and directly move to Zhang Li's residence to settle down.

Ximen Qing was extremely tactful. Right now, my life is entirely dependent on Wang Hai's protection, I took out five hundred silver from my luggage and stuffed it into Wang Hai's hands, but I said: "I and Sir Xie have grown up in a pair of underpants, and my Brother Xie has been taken care of by the Duke of Duo Meng. This is too small a matter, I hope Sir Wang can accept it with a smile.

Wang Hai quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Ximen, you are being too courteous. I am following Brother Xie's instructions as well. Brother Xie is an accomplished scholar and is deeply trusted by the emperor's princess. My brothers have received many benefits from Brother Xie. "You are Brother Xie's big brother, we must get closer in the future."

Ximen Qing insisted that Wang Hai accept the silver. Wang Hai did not make any excuses and kept the silver in his pocket, leaving the two guards at Zhang Li's residence to report back to Xie E.

When Xie E came out of the Heart Nurturing Palace, he really wanted to see what kind of conflict Wang Hai and Tong Guan had gotten into.

Ximen Qing was the person the Emperor wanted to see right now. If he was taken captive by Tong Guan, there would be a good show to watch.

It was a pity that Liang Shicheng did not make things difficult for him, and that the servants came to report him to the Imperial Army Commander Tension House.

Tong Guan was a cunning old fox. Seeing Xie E's move, he knew that Xie E would definitely protect Ximen Qing no matter what, and Ximen Qing would definitely be determined to protect Xie E's identity.

Thinking about it this way, it was very likely that Xie E was Qing He County's Xie Xi Da. Tong Guan's plan to dig out their roots had basically gone bankrupt.

When Xie E saw Wang Hai, he quickly explained everything that had happened and then immediately brought Xie E to find Ximen Qing.

When Ximen Qing heard the Emperor's summons, he was immediately overjoyed. If not for the presence of Wang Hai and the few guards, he would have already given Xie E a bear hug.
