Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character
Chapter 194 The Bullying Eunuch 32
Ji Chaoxi went to see Xiao He before leaving the palace.
"Sister Xiaohe!"
Ji Chaoxi brought a lot of food and clothes to the Cold Palace.
Xiaohe is no longer as young as before; she has more wrinkles around her eyes, but her face is more peaceful now.
Xiao He's eyes crinkled into a smile as she reached out to touch Ji Chaoxi's head, only to find that Ji Chaoxi was now taller than her.
Ji Chaoxi bent down, and Xiao He smiled and touched her.
"You've grown taller again."
Every time we meet, Xiao Xizi seems to have grown a lot taller.
"Sister Xiaohe, how have you been doing with the Imperial Concubine lately?"
Xiao He smiled and said, "Although it's a bit more frugal than before, it's actually not bad. I've planted some things in the yard, and Her Majesty likes to eat them very much."
Looking at Ji Chaoxi, who had grown up, she felt a pang of emotion. When she was little, she thought this little Xizi looked so much like a girl, and she never expected that she really was.
"Sister Xiaohe, if you want anything, just tell the guards at the door, and they will come to find me," Ji Chaoxi said earnestly.
Xiao He smiled and nodded.
To be honest, she never expected Ji Chaoxi to come to see her, and she hadn't helped her with anything; those things were just things she did on the side.
But she came even more often than the Second Prince.
After Ji Chaoxi left, Xiao He carried the things into the house.
The imperial concubine was trying to plant vegetables at the door with a small shovel, but she had never succeeded; many of the vegetables she planted died.
Xiao He called out from the window, "Your Majesty, come in quickly, there are some pastries you like."
The imperial concubine immediately dropped her small shovel and replied, "Coming!"
The wheels rolled over the road, making a rhythmic creaking sound. Surrounded by mountains, the long procession continued to move forward.
Inside the spacious carriage, the light was dim, and the horse swayed back and forth. Xiao Yanchen clung to Ji Chaoxi as if he had no bones.
The carriage was surrounded by guards and imperial soldiers, and it was eerily quiet.
"Little Xizi." Xiao Yanchen's eyes were red, and his gaze towards Ji Chaoxi was full of accusation.
He held her tightly around the waist, his nose nuzzling intimately against her skin, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid, his hot breath hitting Ji Chaoxi's collar.
Ji Chaoxi was pinned to the corner by him, struggling to breathe. She glared at him angrily, but afraid of being overheard outside, she could only mutter under her breath, "What are you here to do, repair the dam or what?"
He kept pestering her the whole way.
Not professional at all.
Xiao Yanchen looked a little aggrieved after being scolded by her, his eyes lingering on her lips with a sticky look: "Kiss."
Ji Chaoxi was rubbing against him so tightly that she couldn't escape. Her breathing became rapid. No matter where she tried to hide, Xiao Yanchen would rub against her, determined not to let her get away.
Seeing that she kept refusing, Xiao Yanchen said sadly, "Xixi, I'm so scared. What if I don't do well this time? Will Father scold me? Second Brother will definitely bully me again..."
Xiao Yanchen stared longingly at Ji Chaoxi.
Ji Chaoxi's face turned bright red. She cupped his face and kissed his forehead.
"How about a kiss on the eyes?" Xiao Yanchen started nuzzling again.
Ji Chaoxi could only kiss his eyes again.
Xiao Yanchen pressed his advantage: "Xixi, can I kiss your cheek? I feel a little better now."
Ji Chaoxi whispered, "If you're feeling unwell, you should go see the imperial physician."
Xiao Yanchen pretended not to hear and just looked at her pitifully.
Even after kissing him on the cheek, Xiao Yanchen was still not satisfied.
"Xixi, I want to kiss you..."
"You don't want to!"
"I think……"
The guards waiting silently at the door: ...
He had been waiting for a long time, and called out twice, but no one answered.
Although there was no sound coming from inside, he thought it would be better to wait.
Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Yanchen lifted the carriage curtain and calmly asked, "What's wrong?"
The guard lowered his head, pretending not to notice Xiao Yanchen's disheveled appearance: "Seventh Prince, the magistrate of the Southern Border County has sent someone to ask if you want to stay at the government office, saying that everything is ready."
"No need, let's go directly to the post station."
"Yes."
The officials of Nanjing County were displeased when they learned that Xiao Yanchen had not stayed at the government office but had gone to the post station.
To be honest, the imperial court has sent people down several times, but this is the first time they've been this uncooperative.
"Has the goods been delivered?" The magistrate frowned deeply.
Why is there still no response?
The servant whispered, "Sir, we delivered it, but it was thrown out. The Seventh Prince has already started auditing the accounts."
The magistrate's face darkened immediately: "What accounts are you checking? We already gave them the account books!"
The servant's voice was even softer: "The Seventh Prince said they want to investigate themselves."
The county magistrate's face was extremely ugly. This seventh prince had come with great force, all for their small southern county?
"Gather a few men and come with me to meet that Seventh Prince."
"Yes."
The southern county was very humid, with thick, dark clouds pressing down and a chill in the air.
Ji Chaoxi sat in the post station, and Xiao Yanchen draped a thicker outer robe over her and rubbed her slightly cold hands.
Everyone else around them kept their heads down, pretending not to see what was happening.
Ji Chaoxi frowned as she looked at the smeared and messy curtains on the table.
"These people mixed in a lot of yellow mud to cover their losses. If they do it now..."
Before Ji Chaoxi could finish speaking, a sudden burst of rapid hoofbeats came from outside the post station.
Leading the group were several officials from the Southern Border County, their faces now contorted with menacing rage. They led over two hundred soldiers and completely surrounded the post station.
"Seventh Prince." The magistrate, seated on his horse, looked at him with a forced smile. "It seems there are some errors in the account books you hold. For Your Highness's safety, I request that you hand over the books for me to verify."
The other people on horseback also looked at Xiao Yanchen with unfriendly expressions, and the atmosphere in the air suddenly froze.
Just then, the air was sliced open by the sharp blade.
"Ahhhhh—"
The magistrate, who had been shouting from horseback, was suddenly pulled back and slammed heavily onto the bluestone slab.
The guard stepped on the back of the magistrate's neck, a dagger pressed against his throat: "Insolence!"
Immediately afterwards, countless regents poured out from the gaps in the once empty corridor, hundreds of arrows aimed directly at the soldiers in the middle, blocking their retreat.
Holding the account book, Xiao Yanchen said in a gentle tone, "The magistrate arrived just in time; the palace detective Ji happened to discover some strange things."
Detective Ji himself coughed awkwardly.
"Lin Dazhong, the magistrate of Nanjing County, has embezzled 12,000 taels of government funds." Ji Chaoxi's voice echoed in the post station.
"The prefect of Nanping cut back on the people's food rations and even sold burnt rice to disaster victims at high prices."
With each sentence Ji Chaoxi read, the official on horseback trembled a little more.
They stared at Ji Chaoxi in disbelief. Where did this Detective Ji come from? They'd never heard of him before.
Outside the officers and soldiers, some refugees curiously gathered around.
The next second, the magistrate's head rolled directly to the feet of the people.
The air fell silent instantly.
The old lady standing at the very front: ...
Unexpectedly, one day the head of my enemy actually fell from the sky.
She couldn't help but kick him.
Corrupt official!
The guard sheathed his sword and returned to the darkness.
