Chapter 6

Separate

How much I wanted to tell him everything, but I couldn't utter all the words when they came to my mouth: "I have forgotten the poisonous wine and the poisonous wine."

"Five years ago, on the third day after my father entered the imperial mausoleum, you came to my room to drink with me that night." Ren Xirui seemed to be suppressing some emotions.

"How is that possible! That's a jug of wine. If we want to drink it, we both drink it together. If we want to be poisoned, it's only fair that we poison it together?" Wen Shuyue refused to admit it.

Ren Xirui slightly opened his eyelids, his eyes were cloudy, and his voice was exceptionally calm: "The first glass of wine, the first glass of wine poured in front of me. It was not poured from the jug. It was the king of Chu who placed it in the palace. The hidden guards inside prepared it for me who just walked in."

"...Then I'm really unlucky, I snatched your first glass of wine as soon as you walked in the door... oh oh..." Wen Shuyue's eyes darkened, and Ren Xirui stuck the tip of his tongue into his slightly opened two between the teeth.

Wen Shuyue habitually wraps her arms around his neck, Ren Xirui sucks his lips, licks or bites them over and over again, sucks for a while, and then puts the tip of her tongue into his mouth.Wen Shuyue's lips were slightly red and swollen from the toss, and the previous numbness turned into a burning pain.

After finally parting his lips, Ren Xirui looked at his pitiful and heart-wrenching appearance, his eyes were slightly red, and said: "After my father's accident, the king of Chu will never allow Prince Ren to marry the Wen family, and I want to take this opportunity to let you Leave me. So his staff immediately proposed countermeasures. As long as I become a useless person, with my temperament, it will be a matter of time before I secretly sink and fend for myself. Even you may not be able to persuade me. Qing Mingtian's eyeliner Let you know about this in advance, so you will drink poisoned wine for me who knew nothing at the time. I said, right?"

"Alcohol is not poisonous, you are thinking too much. If the wine is poisonous, how could I be alive and kicking, right?" Wen Shuyue asked rhetorically.

"Then what did you do in Qingmingtian during the two years you left Jingcheng? Do you really think I thought of questioning you because I got nothing?!" Ren Xirui said angrily.

Wen Shuyue laughed suddenly, the heat in his eyes dazzled his dark brown pupils, he just smiled like this, pulled Ren Xirui down with his arms, and took the initiative to close his lips.

Ren Xirui's heart tightened, and the tip of his nose turned sore: "You did something wrong, you bowed your head and begged for my mercy?!"

Wen Shuyue was pushed back to the head of the bed by him, and there was a momentary twitch in his heart. He deliberately raised his voice to hide the sadness in his mouth: "What's wrong with me, shouldn't I protect you?! I shouldn't see you safe and sound. , shouldn’t you respect your choice and leave alone?!!”

"If I hadn't worked so hard to track down and get this information, how long would you have kept it from me!!" Ren Xirui's tone of forbearance turned out to be heartache and regret all along.

"You are so shameless!! I am afraid of facing your current expression so I am too lazy to tell you!! I am a dignified assassination, but I was poisoned for a second time, and I will not die. How could I care about this!!"

At this moment, Wen Shuyue recalled the pool of blood gushing out of the palace's throat after drinking as if nothing had happened, the compassionate look in Lord Hou's eyes when he knew that he had been poisoned and turned into a useless person, and the words His Royal Highness Cheng Ping said He's a self-destructing fool.

It's a pity that he Wen Shuyue, the last thing he needs in this life is sympathy.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask An Hao. I live a leisurely life in Qingmingtian, and I am too late to be happy! I told you to go, do you regret it?"

But Wen Shuyue wanted to tell him that the quarrel before he left was not out of sincerity, and that he insisted on going with him because he was afraid that the road ahead would be dangerous, and there would be undercurrents in the court, without her by his side, the Wen family would not be happy Will definitely protect him.

I also want to tell him that I may be a useless cripple in the future.I want him to be by my side, and go to Qing Mingtian together and never get involved in these party struggles in Jingcheng again.

I also want to tell him that he doesn't want to leave with him, and there is nothing he can do.Only after being poisoned, go to Chu Wangfu to find Chu Wang.Tell him that he drank the poisonous wine by mistake, and that he will leave Jingcheng for a few years to recuperate, that Wenjiahou's mansion will never intervene in the affairs of Prince Ren's mansion, and that Ren Xirui will no longer threaten him.The king of Chu just wanted to break them up, and it didn't matter who was useless.

I want to tell him even more that the night with him was his true sincerity.

Two days later, as Ren Xirui expected, everything was progressing in an orderly manner according to King Chengping's plan.

Wen Shuyue stood in a daze in the courtyard, but when she saw him walking in front of her with a dark face, she was shocked: "What happened?"

"Aren't you unable to lift the sword?" Ren Xirui asked in a deep voice.

"The dagger is still usable." Wen Shuyue withdrew her gaze.

"A dagger can inflict such wounds!" Ren Xirui had a playful expression on his face, wanting to see how he would weave it.

Wen Shuyue turned around and smacked her cheeks: "This...I have my own way. Oh, are you in a hurry all day? Go to the court and get something to do! You always look for me if you have nothing to do Happy! Look annoying!"

Ren Xirui grabbed his wrist, lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "From now on, you are not allowed to go out with a sword."

"Are you crazy? Not long after the death of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, you told me not to wear a sword! Anyone with a heart can see through it at a glance!" Wen Shuyue was puzzled by this move.

"Then you can give me a good life in the palace, and it's best not to force me to give you a foot restraint order." Ren Xirui revealed his real purpose.

Wen Shuyue took a deep breath: "Good job, Ren Xirui! I will never let you go!"

"Or, just tell me the truth." Ren Xirui continued.

Wen Shuyue didn't pay any attention to it at all: "You have a good idea! My unique skills are not rumored!"

Ren Xirui understood it, and he definitely couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to find another way.

The death of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and the criminal record of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice's dismissal of human life were communicated to the main hall inside and outside Jingcheng on the same day, causing a great uproar in the whole Nanping and causing a sensation.

Since the killer had been brought to justice on the spot, he should have been hanged for the dirty deed he committed in accordance with the Minister of Punishments, so His Majesty the Emperor did not pursue it excessively.Under the admonition of all the courtiers, let the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice who was not involved in the case act as the minister for the time being, and retrial and report the unjust cases in the case book one by one.

But this matter involved the king of Chu, the emperor deliberately warned him, ordering the king of Chu to reflect in the mansion for a year, and the court salary was halved.At the same time, King Chengping and the third division were ordered to supervise the trial of unjust cases together.

Everyone knows that King Cheng Ping looks idle, but he just hides his talent because he doesn't want to see his brothers kill each other.This time, handling the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice and cleaning up the six courtiers is really decisive.

Chengping Wang's brilliance is that he never reveals his sincerity, and he still has enough power to protect himself. When he really can't stand it anymore, he will use wind and thunder methods.

As for the vacancies of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and Minister of Dali Temple, it is naturally not the turn of the King of Chu to intervene.The emperor was afraid of causing trouble, so he left it to Ren Xirui to make the decision.

A year later, the corruption in the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple disappeared, and a large number of corrupt officials were also cleared out of the other departments, which eased the atmosphere of being an official.

And on the day when King Chu left the mansion, King Chengping handed in a request to divert the canal to manage the resettlement of the refugees, and asked to leave Jingcheng for Jingzhou, and personally drew up a set of feasible plans.

Nanping is located in the south, and the river improvement canal project has caused headaches for the common people and officials along the coast.No one can see what King Chengping intends to do by taking over this mess.

Except for Ren Xirui who has followed King Chengping for six years.

"Second Young Master, is this going back to live in the Hou's Mansion?" The housekeeper of the Hou's Mansion hastily greeted him.

Wen Shuyue nodded, her expression was obviously not good.This time it was Ren Xirui who took the initiative to drive him out of the palace.Because he learned of His Highness King Chengping's intentions, he was willing to follow His Highness to protect him.

But he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb in Jingcheng, and continued to work for Lord Hou, who had just returned home, to stabilize the situation in Jingcheng for King Chengping.He can only hide in the dark.

After Ren Xirui went like this, it was not as easy to come back as in two or three years?Besides, the King of Chu was watching like a tiger. Even if His Royal Highness King Chengping was not in Jingcheng, he could reach out to Jingzhou to disturb the situation.This trip was all about trying to catch the king of Chu, but it also bet Ren Xirui's life.

After Wen Shuyue guessed it, it was inconvenient to express her worry, so the two confronted each other and broke up unhappy.

When he was depressed, An Hao led the grandson of Master Shang Shu and walked towards him.

"Tsk tsk, isn't this the Second Young Master Wen? Why does he look so sad? Did he quarrel with Prince Ren again?" An Hao handed his youngest son to Wen Ji who was beside him, motioning her to avoid it.

Wen Ji understood, and walked to other parts of the garden while teasing his youngest son.

"Since when have you learned to be sarcastic? Master An." Wen Shuyue teased blankly.

Today's An Hao has become the second servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and his official position is the third rank.During this year's experience, he has won the appreciation of His Majesty the Emperor many times, and everyone said that he has the character of his father who is from the first rank.

"What's the matter with you? Tell me!" An Hao bumped him with his elbow as he did when he was young.

"It's nothing." Wen Shuyue forced a smile.

"You want to lie to me again? Do you know how you have been rumored outside of Ren Wang's mansion for the past few years? Said that you two are... yes..." Those two words stuck in An Hao's throat, and they were always I couldn't express my emotions because of it.

Wen Shuyue snorted softly: "They are right, they are a couple."

"What?! You two are really together?! Wen Shuyue, where do you put your face? With the posture you two meet every time, can you have a good time together?!" An Hao's focus turned out to be on this above?

"Yes, why not?" Wen Shuyue laughed.

"Then why do you look like this?" An Hao asked dubiously.

Because that bastard hasn't touched himself since the night we talked about poisoned alcohol.Although Wen Shuyue won't take the initiative to do these things, but the person she loves sleeps next to her pillow all night long, who can't believe it?

But Ren Xirui's ghostly appearance, as if he had converted to Buddhism, closed his eyes every night and lay upright.Do nothing but sleep.Wen Shuyue once wondered if he had been stimulated by something, and found that she was not as good as Long Yang.

Even if you are angry with yourself, there should be a time limit, right?After so many years of Xiaodu, I don't even want to care about it, so why is he angry? !

"He abandoned me and went to Jingzhou with His Royal Highness Cheng Ping, I'm having a fight!" Wen Shuyue gave him an angry look.

"You! You are simply making trouble for no reason!" An Hao was so angry that he almost jumped up from his seat.

"You're right! I'm just making trouble for no reason!" Wen Shuyue retorted unceremoniously.

An Hao didn't want to be as knowledgeable as him, and frowned slightly: "You are in your twenties, and it's time to start a family and start a career. Do you really plan to entangle with Little Prince Ren for the rest of your life?"

"I don't like to hear what you say. What do you mean by 'should start a family and start a business'? My father has a big brother and a pair of children who are happy to live under his knees, and there is a young girl who blooms and spreads leaves. Besides...it doesn't matter to me at all!"

Besides, as an assassin, he is not qualified to start a family.The extra family is a burden to him.

"What about Young Prince Ren? He is His Majesty's nephew after all, so he can't die alone, right?" An Hao asked.

"I'll die alone if I'm here? His majesty urged the marriage or forced the marriage? The elders of the family didn't say anything, what are you doing here?!" Wen Shuyue became more and more dissatisfied as she spoke.

An Hao knew he couldn't speak against him, so he had no choice but to admit defeat: "Okay! Whatever you say is justified!"

Wen Shuyue turned to think of something, approached him mysteriously, and raised her finger to signal him to come over.An Hao leaned forward a little, only to hear him say: "You know this matter, as long as I know it, don't tell anyone!"

"Ren Xirui himself doesn't know?" An Hao wondered.

"Does he know what it has to do with me? If he doesn't know, I'd rather not be that blind!"

Wen Shuyue's sentences are incisive, and An Hao can only succumb to him.I am afraid that only Ren Xirui himself can subdue this evildoer, this may be the legend that one thing subdues one thing.

An Hao thought so.
