Prime Minister, he just refuses to usurp the throne

When Xie Anshuang opened his eyes again, he was completely awakened by hunger.The aroma of food wafted in the room, and his stomach was already rumbling before he was fully awake.

"Well..." He rubbed his eyes and sat up, his head still hurt a little, but he felt much better than before.

"Your Majesty is awake?"

After Xing Wenshu placed the dishes and chopsticks, he heard the movement behind him, looked back at him, and smiled: "It's just time for dinner, let's get up and eat."

Xie Anshuang nodded in a daze, got up from the bed, but almost fell down again because of the weakness of his knees.

"Be careful, Your Majesty." Xing Wenshu hurriedly stepped forward to support him, frowning slightly, "Your Majesty has fallen down many times today, but was your leg injured?"

While speaking, Xing Wenshu helped Xie Anshuang to sit beside the bed, and squatted down to check whether his legs were injured.

Just when his hands were about to touch Xie An's clothes, Xie Anshuang woke up from the trance, stood up quickly, and avoided his movements.

"It's all right, you don't need to worry about it." Xie Anshuang staggered and stood firm, his tone and demeanor returned to his usual appearance, but because he was still sick, his breath was weaker, and he seemed softer than usual.

Xing Wenshu raised his head and glanced in his direction, quickly gathered other thoughts, got up naturally and said: "Then your majesty will go to eat first. Your majesty missed lunch today, and you should make up for it now yes."

Xie Anshuang didn't say much, walked to the table and sat down, and then... saw the table full of clear soup and little water.

Xie Anshuang: "...why is it so bland?"

Xing Wenshu replied gently: "Your Majesty is still ill, and these meals are prepared by the imperial dining room according to the imperial doctor's orders."

Xie Anshuang, who was still very hungry, suddenly lost his appetite. He got up and wanted to go back to bed, but Xing Wenshu, who had expected it, pushed him back on the chair.

"If you don't eat, you will be hungry and hurt your body. Don't be willful, Your Majesty." Xing Wenshu gently pressed his hands on his shoulders, and continued, "In addition, the imperial doctor is already decocting the medicine, and it should be almost as soon as your majesty finishes eating." Drink the second bowl of medicine. Only by taking the medicine on time can His Majesty recover as soon as possible and resume his usual meals."

His original intention was to appease Xie Anshuang, but from his words, Xie Anshuang could only eat clear soup with little water until he recovered from his illness, which made him even more unhappy.

He is used to not tabooing food even when he is sick, it is too cruel for him to suddenly ask him to maintain his health like this.

Seeing his depression, Xing Wenshu added with a smile: "If Your Majesty can finish dinner well, I will give His Majesty another candy, how about it?"

"Tang is..." Xie Anshuang wanted to ask subconsciously, but the memory of when he was unconscious before suddenly appeared in his mind.

He, it seems, ate the candy Xing Wenshu gave him, and told Xing Wenshu why he hated sweets, and finally even got angry because Xing Wenshu refused to give him a second candy?

So that wasn't a dream?

……Grass.

Xie Anshuang was so angry that he cursed badly, and even wished he could go back to that time and wake up his childish self.

... But the candy given by Xing Wenshu is really delicious.

He took a sneak peek at the corner where Xing Wenshu put the candy box.

Since he didn't need to take poison after the age of seven, he has never eaten any sweets. Such a reassuring sweetness made him want to savor it again and experience it several times.

Just like Xing Wenshu's gentleness towards him.

In the end, the desire for sugar overwhelmed the disguise of Xie Anshuang's inner struggle.

He picked up the chopsticks, finally willing to start eating in peace, and settled half of the tasteless meals on the table.

Seeing that he was eating reluctantly, Xing Wenshu didn't force him to finish all the meals, and soon came over with a hot soup. After he finished drinking the medicine, he fulfilled his promise and gave him another candy.

The sweet taste quickly dispelled the bitter taste in the mouth, followed by the scent of flowers, which made Xie Anshuang addicted.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he didn't allow himself to indulge for a long time this time, and he stood up shortly after eating the candy, as if he was about to leave.

Seeing this, Xing Wenshu, who was still packing up his things, said, "It's still raining outside, why don't your majesty stay overnight tonight? Your majesty's burning has not long since left, and I'm a little worried that it will happen again at night."

Xie Anshuang looked back at him, with a half-smile: "Does Xing Aiqing know what this means? Gu Ke never stays in a place other than a concubine's residence."

Xing Wenshu's expression remained natural, and he replied: "There is always an exception to everything. Your Majesty will be regarded as a minister, and an exception will be made for His Majesty's body."

Xie Anshuang turned around and looked at him leisurely: "That orphan will have to pay for it."

Xing Wenshu continued to reply: "As long as the minister can do it, please do not hesitate to order, Your Majesty."

It was the expected answer again, Xie Anshuang was completely used to his always tolerant appearance, he snorted softly and said: "For the sake of Xing Aiqing's sincerity, I will stay here alone for one night. "

Xing Wenshu smiled: "It's my honor."

Then he seemed to think of something again, and said, "By the way, Your Majesty fell ill and fainted before, and only had time to change a set of clothes for Your Majesty. Now, while Your Majesty is still in good spirits, I need to order someone to prepare some hot water. Have a good soak?"

Hearing that he didn't take a shower after being exposed to the rain, Xie Anshuang immediately felt uncomfortable all over, and nodded in response: "Remember to tell them to move faster."

"Okay." Xing Wenshu responded, and was about to walk outside the house.

However, at this moment, Xie Anshuang thought of another thing, his expression froze, and he frowned and asked, "Wait, who changed Gu's clothes before?"

Xing Wenshu met the coldness in his eyes suddenly, and replied: "It's Fuyuan Fu Gonggong. The hand injury is not healed, and I can't do the delicate work of changing clothes for His Majesty. Others can't believe it, so I called Fu Gonggong to help gone."

Xie Anshuang's expression did not relax, and he asked again: "Did Fu Yuan say anything to you?"

"No." Xing Wenshu looked confused, "Your Majesty asked such a question but what happened?"

After receiving Xing Wenshu's negative answer, Xie Anshuang relaxed a little, and said casually: "Then Xing Aiqing must be glad that her hand injury is not healed, otherwise it would be a pity for Xing Aiqing's beautiful eyes."

Xing Wenshu smiled slightly, and replied: "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."

Xie Anshuang choked, but he didn't expect him to answer like this.

But his answer reminded Xie Anshuang of Xing Shen who was always a little proud when he was a child.

At that time, Xiao Xingshen grew up under the love of his family, and he was also very talented. He lived a smooth life and always looked confident and dazzling.Compared with the gentle and elegant after being polished now, the little Xing Shen at that time was more childish and sharp.

But whether it was the little Xing Shen back then or the current Xing Wenshu, Xie Anshuang liked the appearance.

He quietly hid his thoughts in his heart, didn't say any more, and let Xing Wenshu continue to order his servants to prepare hot water.

Due to Xing Wenshu's previous instructions and his inconvenient status, there were no servants in his residence. It took a long time for hot water to be ready, and there was also a set of clean clothes.

The small inner room was full of water vapor, Xing Wenshu bandaged Xie Anshuang's wound again, and before going out, he was not at ease and told: "Your Majesty's wound has been soaked by rain today and has deteriorated once. Remember to be careful when bathing."

"Okay, this is the third time you have said that." Xie Anshuang responded impatiently, "Gu is not a child, so don't worry about it, Mr. Xing."

Just at this time Xing Wenshu finished bandaging, finally got up and said: "I will wait in the outer room, if necessary, your majesty can call me at any time."

Xie An waved his hands, watched him disappear behind the curtain, then put away the impatience in his eyes, looked down at the bandage on his left hand, got up and went behind the screen.

He slowly took off the clothes on his body, and under his fair neck, there were countless shocking scars.

Large and small scars ran along his body, almost spreading across his entire back, and there were also a few shallow, almost invisible marks on his arms and chest.

These are the traces that Yuangui left on him, or the traces left by the resisters when he killed for Yuangui, the earliest traces can even be traced back to when he was four years old.

He never allowed others to break in while he was taking a bath, and he never wanted people to see his body because of the scars all over his body.

Xie Anshuang hid himself in the warm water, restrained all other thoughts, and quietly immersed himself in a moment of peace.

……

After about a quarter of an hour, Xie Anshuang, who had soaked in hot water, recovered a lot. She put on her clothes and came out from behind the screen. Her long hair was still a little wet. She pulled on her wooden clogs and went out to find Xing Wenshu.

Xing Wenshu was dealing with matters at the desk in the outer room. Seeing him coming out, he put down the pen in his hand, found a clean towel and said, "Your Majesty, sit here first, and I will wipe your hair for you."

Xie Anshuang, who was in a good mood, was also more talkative than before. He sat where Xing Wenshu was sitting just now, let him move, and glanced at the various documents he had spread out on the table.

As the actual prime minister, Xie Anshuang didn't like to take care of things, so Xing Wenshu naturally had a lot of work. There were two stacks of documents, large and small, so that Xie Anshuang would feel sleepy just looking at them.

He picked up one to read with great interest, and said casually: "It seems that Xing Aiqing is quite diligent."

Xing Wenshu brushed his hair gently, and replied after hearing the words: "Since your majesty has appointed you as the prime minister, you should fulfill your duties as a minister and share affairs for your majesty."

Xie Anshuang didn't comment on this, and took out another booklet, which seemed to be about the masked man.

There was no valid information in the document, so he asked casually, "Speaking of which, how is Xing Aiqing's investigation of the masked man going?"

Xing Wenshu replied: "Your Majesty, there is not much progress so far. The masked man is really loyal to his original master. It is really difficult to dig out effective information from him through ordinary interrogation, and I don't want to use the torture tools in the dungeon."

After getting such an answer from him, Xie Anshuang couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart. Sure enough, his Xing Aiqing was still too kind, to treat such a person...

However, before he finished feeling, he heard Xing Wenshu continue to say gently: "The torture tools in the dungeon can only make his limbs mutilated and bruised all over his body. It's just a pain of flesh and blood. It's too cheap for him. If Your Majesty visits him on a whim, why not?" It will dirty His Majesty's eyes."

Hearing the gentle voice next to his ears, and feeling the gentle force from his hair, Xie Anshuang slowly put a question mark in his heart.

... "at best"? "Just a few"?

How did he remember that the torture tools in the dungeon accounted for eight of the top ten tortures in the Northern Dynasty?
