Chapter 214: Planning Ahead
Shen Jingxuan looked at the two men who looked tired, and stepped forward to support one of them with one hand.
"Master, Second Master, please take a rest for a while."
Shen Jingxuan asked the two of them to sit on the chairs, and Ling Feng asked the servants to bring hot tea for them.
Seeing that they had no intention of speaking, Shen Jingxuan sat aside and did not ask any questions.
She was not in a hurry, but Ling Feng could not help but ask, "Excuse me, elders, how is my master?"
Elder Xue glanced at him and said, "Well, you will recover after taking good care of yourself for a while."
After getting a positive answer, Shen Jingxuan and Ling Feng both breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Shen Jingxuan sitting there motionless, Mr. Xue asked suspiciously, "Why don't you go in and take a look?"
"Just wait for me."
After saying that, Shen Jingxuan quickened her pace and walked towards the study.
She came to the edge of Xie Lingxiao's bed, looked at him lying there with a pale face, and felt indescribable bitterness in her heart.
He is such a good person, but because of his identity, he is constantly assassinated.
Thinking of Xie Lingxiao's situation, Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but clench her fists.
Ever since she took over the Scarlet Flame Temple, she had handed it over to the great elders and never asked about it.
Looking at Xie Lingxiao in front of her, Shen Jingxuan suddenly felt that she should think about the future of the Red Flame Temple.
It is also time to make plans for the two of them in advance. At least when Xie Lingxiao needs it, the support of the Red Flame Temple can better help Xie Lingxiao and reduce his burden.
When facing difficulties, she wants to stand by him instead of leaving him alone.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan tucked in the corners of the quilt for Xie Lingxiao and turned to leave.
When Shen Jingxuan came out, Mr. Xue had already told Ling Feng what he needed to pay attention to. Seeing her leave the study, the three of them returned to the clinic without stopping.
Elder Xue and Elder Xu returned to their rooms. Shen Jingxuan did not rush back home, but went to the third elder.
"Xuan'er, what's going on?"
The old men all knew something about what happened today and wanted to go together, but were stopped by Old Xue.
This matter is of great importance, and the more people go, the more attention it will attract.
After learning the seriousness of the matter, the others stopped insisting and continued doing their own things, waiting for the two to bring back the results.
What the Third Elder didn't know was that if he had to wait until tomorrow for Elder Xue and Elder Xu to tell him the result.
After all, the two of them had already returned to their room to rest.
"The poison has been removed. You just need to slowly recuperate in the future." Shen Jingxuan said.
"That's good. You don't have to worry about a relapse in the future."
Shen Jingxuan remembered the previous arrangement and asked about it: "How are things going at the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion?"
Speaking of this, the Third Elder said with joy: "Everyone knows about this incident. I think the palace also knows about it."
"That's good. Is there no action from the Anguo Marquisate?"
With such a big thing happening, Shen Jingxuan didn't believe that Marquis Anguo would remain motionless, not to mention that Xie Zihan was implicated.
"They wanted to silence everyone, and at the same time they wanted to find out who spread the news. After a whole day, neither side was able to resolve the issue."
It is impossible to silence the gossip of the public just by wanting to.
Even if people stop talking about it when they are present, the rumors will only become more and more outrageous when they leave.
It would be even more difficult to find out who spread the news, right?
Even if Shen Jingxuan didn't let the Third Elder do this, the news would not have been kept secret. It was just that it would be easier to control that way.
With so many eyes seeing it in Yanyu Tower, how could everyone remember He Jun?
Even if one person is left behind, the news will slowly spread after they leave.
Shen Jingxuan thought for a long time and said, "What about that woman? Has she been redeemed by He Jun?"
"No, I'm still in the Misty Rain Tower."
If the incident with Xie Zihan had not happened, He Jun could still redeem the mansion for a moment of enjoyment.
Now in He Jun's eyes, the woman is no longer innocent, so why would he continue to redeem her?
Shen Jingxuan approached the Third Elder and said, "Do you know how long that woman has known He Jun? Send someone to find out."
The third elder suddenly looked at Shen Jingxuan: "What do you mean?"
"I'll send someone right away." Then he walked out of the room.
Seeing his anxious look, Shen Jingxuan's lips gradually curled up.
She was not in a hurry to leave. Based on the Third Elder's temperament, he might know the truth later.
Shen Jingxuan sat in the room drinking tea and thinking about what to do next.
Just as she thought, after a while, the third elder returned to the room.
"Xuan'er, I found out."
The third elder raised his eyebrows slightly: "They have been together for more than two months, He Jun and her are together every day."
"If He Jun hadn't gone back to the mansion to get the silver that day, Xie Zihan wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation."
Taking advantage of a loophole? Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but laugh secretly.
This time it’s not Xie Zihan’s business, even the opportunity was given to him by Ling Feng.
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled: "If you need silver, you can ask the servant to get it, why did he go back in person?"
Could it be that He Jun has not returned home since he was released from prison and has been staying in Yanyu Tower all the time?
The third elder stroked his chin and said, "The madam of Yanyu Tower asked him to pay the money before agreeing to redeem the girl."
"Besides, he owes quite a bit of silver, so he might be worried that the servant won't be able to fetch the silver."
After hearing this, Shen Jingxuan did not continue asking questions. Instead, she took out a pill and handed it to the third elder.
"Give this medicine secretly to that girl."
Seeing Shen Jingxuan's eyes flickering, the Third Elder quietly put the pill away.
"How's things going in the palace lately?"
Shen Jingxuan hasn't seen the Great Elder for a long time since the last time she met him.
I guess it's because he's busy with the things going on in the palace.
The third elder thought for a moment and said, "The first elder will follow your arrangement and send some people to the manor, while the rest will remain in the palace."
"Over at the manor, Chen saw that there were many people in the palace, so he bought a manor next to it."
"When I went there a few days ago, I saw many people delivering fruits in front of the village. They must be storing fruits."
Hearing this, Shen Jingxuan raised the corners of her lips: "Chen Yi has always been cautious in doing things, just follow his wishes."
"You can ask the Great Elder to look for him and ask him to help the temple with some ideas. If he is willing, he can be assigned to the Scarlet Flame Temple as a manager."
Chen Yi is a smart person, unlike Li Yong and Yang Rui who are simple-minded and honest.
If we accept him into the Scarlet Flame Temple, with his help, the temple will only develop better than it is now.
The third elder had met Chen Yi several times and felt that he was prudent and quick-witted.
And the Scarlet Flame Temple needs people like him the most right now.
After all, these old men are too old, and some of their ideas are still as conventional as before, which prevents the palace from making good progress for a while.
If there were more people like Chen Yi, the Red Flame Temple would have no problem growing stronger.
"I will inform the Great Elder later." said the Third Elder.
After Shen Jingxuan finished discussing business with the third elder, they chatted for a while and then called Chuntao and took her out of the clinic.
The two walked a short distance before they saw the carriage of the Regent's Palace approaching from afar.
