Lai Xi has been serving Xie Lang for many years, and he has been able to get along with everyone. As time goes by, he can guess what the young emperor is thinking. He glanced at Wen Hemian, whose expression did not change, and could not help but speak.

"Sir Wen, let me say this. You know what His Majesty is thinking. He has always relied on you, so he will definitely not hide anything from you. You should not take what happened just now to heart..."

"Wait." Wen Hemian interrupted him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I really don't care, and I don't take it to heart."

How come even Lai Xi thought she was that stingy person?

You don't usually have this tendency, do you?

"Oh." Lai Xi touched his nose with a wry smile, "I was the one who talked too much."

Wen Hemian emphasized seriously: "Don't say such things in front of me or His Majesty in the future."

Lai Xi did not respond.

Wen Hemian didn't say anything either.

Lai Xi is Xie Lang's man. No matter how biased he is, he will definitely be more inclined towards his master. He may be slippery, but loyal, and that is enough.

In the royal study.

Huo Ping first finished explaining the main business to Xie Lang, and then continued to talk about Wen Hemian.

Although some things do not necessarily need to be investigated to the end, Xie Lang hopes to keep the initiative in his own hands, so he still has to investigate what needs to be investigated.

"Ning Hechu still doubts Lord Wen's identity, but there is another group of people guarding the temple, so they can't get close. As long as the insider doesn't come out, Ning's party can do nothing."

It can be imagined that the other group of people are either Wen Hemian’s men or those left behind by the couple.

Although he was surprised, considering the overall situation, Huo Ping did not want Wen Hemian's true identity to be exposed now.

It has been kept secret for so many years, but something went wrong at the most critical moment, which is really a headache.

Huo Ping sincerely suggested: "In my opinion, Your Majesty should talk it over with Lord Wen, and then we can discuss countermeasures together."

Look at the way the eunuch looked at him just now, as if he was an unforgivable person standing between this teacher and student. He had no way of saying anything!

Xie Lang refused: "Now is not the time."

It is said that the emperor's mind is hard to predict. A few years ago, Huo Ping might not have been able to guess Xie Lang's thoughts, and now he is even less able to guess. He doesn't understand what this young emperor is worried about.

No matter what, Wen Hemian is your Majesty's teacher. Would he really be angry about this?

Xie Lang was not afraid that Wen Hemian would be angry. He just didn't want the other party to think that he didn't trust her and that's why he sent someone to investigate.

What he was really afraid of was Wen Hemian's disappointed look.

After thinking for a while, Xie Lang ordered: "Send someone to confuse their view and lead them to the direction that the Grand Tutor is not the biological son of Prince Huailing and his wife."

Once the news comes out, it will be quickly suppressed and more easily aroused suspicion. It is better to destroy it first and then establish it, allowing them to continue to deviate in direction.

Huo Ping accepted the order: "Yes."

After he left, another figure landed silently in front of Xie Lang: "Your Majesty, Murong Yue's life is here."

Although he hadn't heard this name for a long time, Xie Lang still had a vague impression of it. It was the peacock who was chatting and laughing with the tutor on the pleasure boat on the Qixi Festival. The other party was a traveling merchant who came to Beijing for the first time, so it would be much more difficult to investigate him.

He took it and glanced at it. His resume was unremarkable, except for one thing - Murong Yue was from Mobei.

The family of the Grand Tutor is stationed here.

Secret Guard: "This Mr. Murong's behavior is monotonous. He runs back and forth between shops and brothels every day. He is quite... unruly."

Xie Lang immediately eliminated his vigilance.

The Grand Tutor is a man of high moral character. He has taught him to treat his sweetheart with all his heart. He would definitely not fall in love with such a playboy, so he would rule him out.

Most of them are helpers sent by people far away from the border for their daughters.

After figuring this out, Xie Lang waved his hand generously: "No need to keep an eye on him anymore."

Secret guard: "Yes."

Ning Hechu could no longer interfere in Mingzhou's affairs. Not only that, he had to watch those people die one by one in front of him.

In response to this matter, there was a discussion within the Ning Party, and some people even began to doubt whether Ning Hechu could continue to be their leader.

The Ning Party was not united from top to bottom, but they came together because of interests, which led to suspicion, and this was the biggest disruption to cooperation. Ning Hechu could only deal with both sides with a headache, and for a while he didn't even have the time to trip up Xie Lang.

As the end of the year approached, all departments were busy. When Wen Hemian went out, someone took over the official duties, so there was no pile of documents that needed to be dealt with. Only poor Xie Lang was almost overwhelmed by the memorials on his desk.

With the emperor's personal instructions, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was as excited as a chicken. He made several versions of the plan to welcome the envoys and vowed to show the hospitality of the host.

God knows how long they have been doing this idle job, fearing that they will be removed from the job someday. Now that they finally have a chance to make use of their talents, why don’t they try their best to demonstrate their effectiveness?

However, Xie Lang ignored their excessive enthusiasm, casually decided on a plan, and gave the order.

The Ministry of Personnel was fine because Wen Hemian had redivided the responsibilities and everyone was busy and organized. Another group of officials were about to complete their terms, and they were waiting for the officials who had been on inspection to come back and bring back the investigation documents. Those who should be promoted would be promoted, and those who should be demoted would be demoted based on their merits.

A year of hard work has gone by, but time flies.

Occasionally, when Wen Hemian stopped writing and looked out the window, he couldn't help but sigh that time passed so quickly.

If you wait a little longer, it will be Xie Lang’s turn to be crowned.

Wen Hemian finally thought of Xie Lang's calligraphy before the end of this year. She carefully wrote down the two words, and after letting them dry, she put them carefully into an envelope, sealed it, and placed it under a paperweight.

The system clicked its tongue twice: "I've never seen you care so much about yourself, no wonder the little emperor treats you so well."

Wen Hemian raised his lips: "Feelings are mutual, he deserves my kindness."

The system whispered: "To be honest, I always feel that the way Xie Lang looks at you is not right..."

"What did you say?" Wen Hemian didn't hear clearly.

"I said... meow!"

A familiar figure appeared in the system's sight. It took a step back as a conditioned reflex and immediately stepped on empty air.

Wen Hemian was unable to grab the cat in time and could only watch it fall flat on its face, then get up and run away without even a moment's pause.

Xie Lang could not escape his eyes from seeing this action. He was barely satisfied with the cat and called out, "Master."

"Your Majesty, you scared my cat."

Wen Hemian looked helpless, but did not blame much. Every time the system saw Xie Lang, it was like seeing a ghost and it couldn't change.

Xie Lang felt wronged: "This cat is timid, can you blame me?"

Wen Hemian paused: "Okay, I can't."

Recently, due to the visit of envoys to the capital, the whole capital has been extremely lively. Looking at the tall young man in front of him, Wen Hemian finally realized that there was an important node here - the foreign woman intended to drug Xie Lang and devote herself to him, but failed.

You are being remembered, little emperor.
