Zhao Yanzhi's servant, who stayed next to Xie Qing, hurried over, beaming with joy: "Your Highness, the young master has woken up."

Zhao Yanzhi was overjoyed, and rushed to Xie Qing's couch in three steps at a time, as if afraid of disturbing the person on the couch, he called out in a voice that he didn't even think he could hear clearly: "Huaifang."

So Xie Qing only vaguely saw Zhao Yan's mouth move.

Zhao Yanzhi concentrated but clumsily wiped the cold sweat from Xie Qing's forehead, because he was very bad at it, so he wiped the sweat off Xie Qing's face somehow.However, the desire for monopoly is so strong that others are not allowed to do anything, and he keeps saying "It's okay, it's okay, it's fine when you wake up, it's fine when you wake up", the situation is so embarrassing that Gu Shenxing can't bear to look directly.If it wasn't for Xie Qing who was too weak and fell asleep soon, he would definitely feel that something was wrong with Zhao Yanzhi.

The imperial physician gave Xie Qing a prescription, and told the servants what medicine to take, what to avoid during the recovery period, what to eat more, etc. before leaving.Zhao Yanzhi was pulled aside by Gu Shenxing, and rather unwillingly watched several servants play with Xie Qing who had fallen asleep.He was dissatisfied no matter what, at one time he felt that this hand was too heavy, at another time he felt that he was using the wrong thing, until Gu Shenxing couldn't bear it and used "don't quarrel with Huaifang here" as an excuse to invite this plague god away.

At this moment, Zhao Yan only focused on returning to the place where he should be, and finally had the energy to hate the shameless villain who poisoned him, and he also thought about discussing the whole story of this weird poisoning incident with Gu Shenxing.

Leaving aside the unbelievable motives of the person who tried to poison Xie Qing, let's just talk about the operability of this matter.There was no court today, Xie Qing just stayed quietly in the study to deal with some daily affairs, flipping through the slips and so on, and did not go out.Although the crown prince's residence is not comparable to Guangming Palace, it is also strictly guarded. It is impossible for outsiders to come in and poison him. Eighty percent of the people who poisoned Xie Qing were people in the crown prince's womb.

Thinking of this level, Zhao Yanzhi's cold sweat immediately broke down.He felt uneasy seeing everyone now, and his mood, which had just calmed down not long ago, became agitated again.

"Your Highness, don't leave, I'm dizzy." Gu Shenxing couldn't help but stop the anxious young man pacing up and down the room. "What's the use of being anxious, His Highness needs to make a decision as soon as possible. Neither you nor I can guard Huaifang all the time. Naturally, His Highness has to find a trustworthy person at this time."

"Sir, I don't think anyone can be trusted now." Zhao Yanzhi, who had been disturbed several times this day, showed fatigue on his face. Fortunately, due to his youth, he was in good spirits at the moment.

"Remember, Your Highness, you will always be subject to chaos. Especially at critical junctures, if Your Highness cannot make a decision early, God will not help."

Gu Shenxing made it clear that he would not help him.Zhao Yanzhi bit his lip hard, forcing himself to calm down from the initial anxiety.After a while, he called out loudly: "Come in safely!"

In the end, Zhao Yanyi was startled by Ping An's appearance.Without his usual shrewd and capable appearance, Ping An, the prince's most trusted servant, looked ashen and trembling at this moment.Zhao Yanzhi couldn't help asking: "Ping An, what's wrong with you?"

An ordinary question, Ping An seemed to be frightened, and fell to the ground with a plop, almost crying.He kept kowtowing, and only said one sentence: "Your Highness, please punish!"

At this moment, Zhao Yanzhi didn't care about what happened to Ping An.He waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, I don't care what you do, I don't want to punish you. Now I have something to tell you, you get up and talk."

Hearing this, Ping'an calmed down a little, but in Zhao Yanzhi's eyes, he was still out of shape.But he couldn't take care of so much during the critical period, and hurriedly told Pingan: "From now on, you don't have to take care of Gu's affairs for the time being, and just take care of Mr. Xie. Remember, there are not many trustworthy people around Gu. I put away your appearance and work more energetically."

Hearing this, Ping An fell to his knees again.

Now he was crying out loud, refusing to take orders, crying so much that Zhao Yan wanted to kick him out of the house.But fortunately, he had a wink, and he barely stopped crying after a while, and explained to Zhao Yanzhi in a whimpering manner: "The cup of tea that Mr. Xie drank was from the minister."

Zhao Yanzhi's impatient face quickly turned serious, and Gu Shenxing, the shopkeeper who was pretending to be asleep, also opened his eyes.

"I remembered the book His Highness said I wanted to read a while ago, so I went to the study to get it. I just saw the young master reading a book by himself, and everyone around him was dismissed, so I made a cup of tea for the young master."

"Unexpectedly, just as I took the book and went out, I heard the sound of the cup breaking. When I went back to read it, the young master had already fallen to the ground."

After speaking, Pingan lowered his head with red eyes, aggrieved but firmly said: "In the current situation, Your Highness should make the minister look good, and really shouldn't teach the minister to serve the young master."

Zhao Yanzhi and Gu Shenxing exchanged glances, and Zhao Yanzhi hurriedly asked, "Bring the teapot, tea leaves, and teacups to Gu! No, Gu wants to see it in person!"

The study room has already been cleaned.After Xie Qing fell to the ground, Ping An was afraid that the shards of the cup would prick him, so he asked someone to take it away immediately. Until now, there is basically no hope of getting it back.

Tea is Xie Qing's favorite kind, and it was almost gone a few days ago, Zhao Yan only knew about it.What Ping An made for Xie Qing today was the last point.Zhao Yan only remembered that he always laughed at Xie Qing's gestures, which did not disgrace his status as a son of the family at all, just don't drink tea.Without him, Xie Qing likes to drink but not to taste, when he drinks tea, he always likes to drink it like wine.

Zhao Yanzhi broke out in a cold sweat for the first time today.Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, Xie Qing took a sip today.Otherwise, according to Xie Qing's usual style of drinking like a cow, who knows if he will be saved after drinking this cup of tea.

These are all plausible, but the strange thing is that the pot used to make tea in Ping An's daytime can't be found no matter what.

Both Zhao Yanzhi and Gu Shenxing felt that the poison was probably smeared on the pot.The poisoner probably had the idea that one day Zhao Yan would make tea with this pot, and then he could be poisoned to death. It is not so easy to track down the murderer. After all, a teapot is not a treasure. too much.But the problem is, the poisoner, who obviously has not enough brains, probably didn't expect that there are so many pots in the Tai's womb, and when this pot is activated, the poison may have already expired. Wipe some poison on this pot and maintain it; besides, even if someone uses this pot, it is not necessarily Zhao Yanzhi. The thing that grows on his neck may be a head.

But it was such a guy who almost killed his Xie Huaifang.

Zhao Yanzhi instantly realized the joys and sorrows in the world, life and death, life and death, and the world is impermanent.

The matter has come to a dead end at this point, and there is basically no way to continue the investigation. The only way is to ask someone to search for the teapot that has probably been destroyed long ago. ?Zhao Yanzhi and Gu Shenxing agreed that it is not appropriate to publicize this matter for the time being, and I will not say anything if the enemy is secretly in the dark. It is not for the sake of such a reckless person to worry the seriously ill emperor.

Two days later, when Xie woke up, it was just the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, and the young Zhao Yanzhi stood by his side quietly reading a book, with a bowl of always-prepared porridge warming in his hand.Xie Qing opened his mouth with difficulty, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant: "A Yuan?"

Zhao Yanzhi immediately threw the letter away when he heard the sound.

He leaned in front of Xie Qing's couch, gently holding Xie Qing's hand, his tone trembling uncontrollably: "Huaifang, are you awake? What do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want to drink water? What do you want to eat?"

Xie Qing seemed to be a little more awake, and shook his head with some difficulty: "How many days have I slept? Who is taking care of me these days?"

"It's Ping An. What happened this time is too strange, and I don't worry about others." Zhao Yanzhi's tone became calmer, still gentle.

"Oh." Xie Qing followed up and asked: "Then who is taking care of His Highness's daily life?"

Zhao Yanzhi smiled: "What is Huaifang worrying about so much? Is it possible that the North Palace of Nuoda can lose you a waiter?"

Under Xie Qing's serious illness, his brain turned slowly. He thought for a long time before saying: "I don't worry about it, Your Highness."

Zhao Yan only thought about it, and smiled happily on his face: "Huaifang is recovering at ease, I have Xin Wan and Yi Jun by my side, maybe they have treated me badly?"

Xie Qing managed to draw a smile from the corner of his mouth: "Since that's the case, I have a merciless request."

Zhao Yan could fly to the sky if he was in a good mood, I'm afraid he would agree to play chess with Zhao Shichang, let alone Xie Qing.Zhao Yanzhi replied with a smile on his face: "You say, I will agree to whatever you say."

Xie Qing couldn't help showing a indulgent smile: "These days when I'm sick, even though I'm not sober, I can feel that I'm well taken care of by Ping An. Can Your Highness allow him to take care of me for a few more days?"

Zhao Yanzhi agreed without even thinking about it: "Whatever it is, I will accept whoever you like, even if you ask me to take care of you here, I will agree."

The two talked again, Zhao Yan only saw Xie Qing's tired face, so he told him to rest and left first.

"Ping An, thank you very much these days." Xie Qing's face was still tired, but the light in his eyes did not match his physical condition, "It must be hard work to take care of the patients, I think your complexion is not very good."

Ping An lowered his head to do things, and his face was faintly gloomy.He forced a smile: "Young Master, what did you say? I remember how the Young Master treated us all these years, and my effort is nothing."

Xie Qing nodded, pondered for a while, and asked again: "Since that's the case, why did you bring me a bowl of tea with added ingredients?"

Xie Qing's tone was weak and flat, talking about it was no different from saying "today's food is salty", but Ping'an broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

Ping An's voice trembled violently: "My lord, does your lord know?"
