Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 212 Promise me one condition

Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Beiyao's heart is so sincere.

She should have known better.

For a moment, Xu Yuan felt an urge in his heart.

My usually calm brain was clamoring to take this opportunity to confess everything.

Tell Beiyao that she is a descendant of the Xu family and she came all the way to the capital to vindicate the Xu family.

Tell Beiyao that she is a woman, she is not very powerful, and the reason why she can plan everything is because she has experienced it once.

When the words were on the tip of his tongue, Xu Yuan hesitated again.

The case of the Xu family has not yet been concluded. The people involved behind the scenes are all ministers in the court, and there may even be instructions from the late emperor.

If the verdict cannot be overturned, the Xu family tragedy twenty years ago will happen again.

Beiyao is a prince, and being involved with her will only make his situation more difficult.

Besides, the idea of ​​rebirth is something that belongs to ghosts and gods.

No one will believe it.

Including her parents and brother.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan suppressed the urge to speak out and slowly said, "Everyone has his own path to take. I came from Sishui County, and the road I walked was cold and long, but you are different. You were born extraordinary, and you easily reached a height that I could never reach in my lifetime."

Xu Yuan said this, and glanced at Bei Yao. Seeing that Bei Yao's smile had faded a little, she gritted her teeth and continued, "I know you are capable, and I know that with your help, I will be able to rise straight up, but this road is my own road, and I must walk it alone."

Beiyao understood.

Xu Yuan wanted to overturn the case for the Xu family with his own ability. At the same time, Xu Yuan was also worried that if he failed to overturn the case, he would be implicated.

That's why Xu Yuan chose to refuse his help again and again.

"We will find a way, definitely." Bei Yao said.

"Then we'll talk about it on that day."

I don’t know if there will be such a day.

Xu Yuan's eyes dimmed, but after a moment, she calmed down and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about these things. It's the same words over and over again. I'm tired of hearing them."

Beiyao nodded.

Just then, Chen Shan knocked on the door outside and brought in the medicine.

Xu Yuan moved a little, and after Bei Yao finished drinking the medicine, he asked, "I heard that the Third Prince and the Third Miss of the Song family broke off the engagement?"

Beiyao put down the medicine bowl and said, "Isn't your news a little too slow?"

"I am not from the palace, so I am not as well-informed as you."

"That's true." Bei Yao nodded seriously.

Xu Yuan didn't want to say anything else, and asked attentively: "Does the Third Prince really not want to marry Song Xiujing?"

"of course."

After hearing Bei Yao's words without hesitation, Xu Yuan asked, "You are not the Third Prince, how do you know?", even though he knew that the man in front of him was the Third Prince.

Bei Yao paused, and after a long while he racked his brains to find a reason: "If the Third Prince liked her, he would have married her long ago. Why would he wait until today?"

"Then the timing of the Third Prince's rejection of the marriage proposal was quite good. It just happened to help me a lot."

After making a wish, he took off the jade pendant from his waist, took it out and said, "This is the token of Wenhua Palace, which the prince gave me today."

"Oh?" Bei Yao said with interest, "So what you said the Crown Prince asked you to do was to ask the Third Prince to break off the engagement. He was quite straightforward. The Third Prince just broke off the engagement yesterday and brought you this token today."

Beiyao pretended to be clueless and Xuyuan did not expose him, but continued speaking along with what Beiyao said.

"Yes, I didn't expect that the timing was so good. Today, the prince asked me how I did it. I said I did nothing, and he thought that it was God who helped him."

Hearing the smile in Xuyuan's words, Beiyao's eyes were also filled with smiles.

"Your Highness is wrong. It is not God who is helping you, but God who is helping you."

Beiyao finished speaking, looked at Xuyuan, and said seriously: "So, you will definitely get what you want."

Fairness and justice.

Although it is late, it will arrive eventually.

Xuyuan nodded.

Probably because of the medicine he took, after talking for a while, Beiyao felt sleepy.

Xu Yuan saw this and stood up and said, "It's getting late. You should go to bed early and take care of your body."

Bei Yao nodded, then turned his head to look out the window and said, "It's dark, the roads are slippery, and the snow is heavy. When you get to the capital, the city gates may have been closed. Don't go back to the city today, stay in Ronghua Garden."

Xu Yuan was about to go back, but after hearing what Bei Yao said, he immediately changed his mind and said, "Okay."

Xuyuan picked up the bowl of medicine on the coffee table and prepared to go out.

Bei Yao suddenly remembered the token that Xuyuan had shown him, and asked, "Given the prince's character, he wouldn't have summoned you just to give him a token. Did the prince tell you anything else?"

Hearing Bei Yao's words, Xu Yuan stopped and turned back and said, "Yes."

She did not hide anything and said frankly: "The Dali Temple arrested a man. The prince could not come forward, so he asked me to go to the Dali Temple to deliver a confession letter and have that person sign it."

Bei Yao understood, "Xin San, right?"

Xuyuan’s eyes changed slightly.

The prince was involved, and Xu Yuan knew it.

But she didn't know that Beiyao was also involved.

It's true, no matter how far she stays away and hides, she can't escape the entanglement with Bei Yao.

When Bei Yao saw Xu Yuan's expression change, he knew that he had guessed right. He looked at Xu Yuan and suddenly smiled, "It's my fault. I should have told you in advance that Xin San is Wu Shiming's good friend. Didn't you say before that you wanted Wu Shiming to work for you? So I ordered people to keep an eye on Xin San, ready to do you a favor. Now it seems that the situation has changed a little."

Hearing Bei Yao's words, Xu Yuan reacted immediately.

"You mean you wanted Wu Shiming to owe me a favor, so you arrested Xin San?"

Beiyao nodded.

Of course, this is not the only plan.

What he wanted most was evidence of the prince's guilt.

Wu Shiming and the prince are in the same boat and will not betray each other, but Xin San is different.

Capturing Xin San can help Xu Yuan and also help him, which is killing two birds with one stone.

"You and the prince are really like that. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. You both did it on purpose. I can't tell who is taking advantage of whom."

Xu Yuan spoke softly.

No wonder Wu Shiming didn’t come home all night yesterday.

As Bei Yao said, Xin San and Wu Shiming have a very good relationship. Wu Shiming will not watch Xin San get into trouble and will definitely do his best to rescue him.

But now the prince is ready to protect himself and get away with it safely. How could he easily give up the scapegoat he has finally found?

If she guessed correctly.

Tomorrow she will send the confession letter, and after Xin San signs it, the prince will immediately send someone to kill Xin San, and then frame all the charges on Xin San.

"It's not bad that you can achieve your goals, but you must be in a difficult situation, sandwiched between the crown prince and Wu Shiming, right?"

Beiyao couldn't help laughing.

It’s not that he wanted to add insult to injury, but he didn’t expect things to turn out like this.

If he had known earlier, he would still have arrested Xin San.

Because, if he didn't catch Xin San, Xin San would have been caught by someone else. It would be better to take this opportunity to completely clear Wu Shiming.

"It's very difficult, but what can I do?" Xu Yuan said helplessly.

"Simple." Bei Yao looked at Xu Yuan and smiled, "Promise me one condition, and I will allow you to report to the Crown Prince and save Xin San."

Beiyao said, his voice gradually lowered, as if to deceive people: "Don't worry, you can do it within your ability, and it won't hurt anyone."
