The prince is shameless
Chapter 33
Wen Xing looked back, but didn't speak again - but this time, before he had time to express his opinion, Xie Yi turned sideways and hugged him gently.
Xu Xie Yi had been sitting by the desk closest to the incense shelf for a long time, and his body was also stained with the scent of calming incense, a faint wisp, which smelled very comfortable.
"Ah Xing, I know you hate me, but can you not refuse my approach? Just treat it as..."
I am atoning.
Xie Yi silently completed the last four words in his heart.
Wen Xing's temperament and Xie Yi still have a certain understanding, there are two reasons why he would still be willing to be his companion in this life, one is that the emperor's order is difficult to violate, and the other is that he does not want to vent his anger.
After all, in Wen Xing's view, it was the ruthless him in his previous life who ordered him to be imprisoned and failed to clear his innocence in time.In this life, he has not done such a thing for the time being, so Wen Xing is at most unwilling to open his heart in front of him.
Once Wen Xing knew that he had also been reborn, Wen Xing would turn around and leave without hesitation, even if he bore the name of "disobeying the imperial decree".
Xie Yi closed his eyes lightly, looking vaguely tired.
After a long while, Wen Xing was the first to move among the two people standing still.
He gently pushed Xie Yi away, smiling kindly, but every word was like a cold awl.
"Sorry, after tonight, you and I are still monarchs and ministers."
Xie Yi had expected such an answer, so he just smiled wearily, and said, "It's getting late, Ah Xing, you should rest earlier, you will continue to investigate the case tomorrow morning."
Wen Xing nodded, returned his humble attitude, lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."
"Then I won't bother you." Xie Yi casually tucked Wen Xing's stray strands of hair behind his ear, and left a soft "I wish you a sweet dream" before turning around to leave.
Wen Xing stood there in a daze for a while, and finally let out a faint sigh and sank into the night.
-
A good night's dream.
But perhaps for Wen Xing, it cannot be regarded as a pure "good dream".
He sat quietly on the bed, and went through those dreams again in his mind - they were all memories of being close to Xie Yi in his previous life.
It was just another expression of indiscriminate authenticity, yet he was so lax.
Wen Xing laughed at himself, and quietly buried that secret thought that he hadn't even noticed in the deepest part, and no one could find it - including himself.
In Wen Xing's eyes, the chat in the middle of the night was just a short-lived accident. After that night, the two of them coincidentally did not bring up the matter again, and were busy with Fei Qing's case.
After another two days, they finally found their first breakthrough.
This morning, Tang An told Wen Xing that he had caught a sneaky person in front of Fei Mansion, and Xie Yi, who was having dinner with Wen Xing, asked her to bring him up.
The man brought up by Tang An was about forty years old, and the cloth on his body was of extraordinary quality, but the style was simple, like the general manager of everyone's children.
On the way he was brought up, the man kept yelling, "I've been wronged by the villain" one after another, howling until he was miserable.
It's a pity that Wen Xing, who is ruthless and ruthless, has no other feelings except that he feels a little noisy.
Xie Yi on the side was less polite, rubbed his ears lightly, and said impatiently: "I didn't say anything bad about you, why are you calling me wrong? It's so noisy."
As soon as the words fell, the man shut his mouth in embarrassment, flinched and then knelt down quietly.
"Breakfast won't taste good if it's cold, let's eat first."
Wen Xing made a sound indifferently, without even looking at the person, as if Tang An was carrying a bundle of dry firewood that creaked up.
Xie Yi heard the voice of Wen Xing's words, nodded, and asked Tang An to continue to wait at the door before picking up the bowls and chopsticks again.
In the next quarter of an hour, Wen Xing and Xie Yi strictly followed the etiquette of not talking when eating or sleeping, and finished their breakfast slowly.
During this period, the whole house was so quiet that only the slight sound of eating was left.
The man who was brought up was kneeling tremblingly from beginning to end, not even daring to lift his head.
After eating slowly, Wen Xing and Xie Yi exchanged glances.
Afterwards, he returned to his usual approachable appearance, and asked with concern, "Hey, why are you shaking and sweating? But the room is so stuffy?"
After finishing speaking, Wen Xing didn't wait for the man to answer, and murmured to himself: "No, autumn is coming, and it's morning at this moment, shouldn't it be because of the cold?"
Wen Xing's words are full of care.
The man hurriedly said: "Small, the villain's legs and feet have been troubled since he was a child, maybe it was caused by kneeling for a long time, and Second Young Master Wen took offense."
"I was negligent, please get up quickly."
While talking, Wen Xing reached out to support him, and inadvertently smelled a strange fragrance from his body.He was already sensitive to the pungent scent, so he frowned slightly and immediately calmed down, asking, "I don't know your surname?"
As soon as the word "gui" came out, the man was so frightened that he almost knelt down again, and hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, dare not be, the villain's surname is Zhang, and he is just an ordinary servant."
As a result, just as he finished speaking, Xie Yi, who had stood up and folded his hands on his chest, snorted softly, and said abruptly: "The head manager of the household servant's house is really ordinary."
Manager Zhang's face turned pale, and he forced a dry smile. "It's an honor to be recognized by His Highness."
No matter how flustered the head manager Zhang was, Wen Xing regained his thoughts because of Xie Yi's words, and said with a light smile: "Your Highness is most annoyed by people interrupting his meal, and now he is in a fit of anger, so he is a bit rude. Don't be surprised by Manager Zhang."
"Don't dare." Manager Zhang waved his hands again and again, taking a small step back.
Wen Xing calmly stepped sideways to block the way.His eyes were clear and calm, he didn't look like he was about to interrogate, and he simply chatted with Mr. Zhang about some trivial matters.
The content of the conversation is nothing more than the length of the family, how the salary is and other seemingly insignificant things.After talking for a long time, Wen Xing suddenly interjected: "Speaking of which, I don't know why Director Zhang appeared in Fei's Mansion?"
"The villain is just Zaifei..." Mr. Zhang, who was used to answering questions before him, bit the tip of his tongue as soon as he said a few words, and his half-hearted heart suddenly returned to his throat.
Wen Xing looked at him with a smile, quite patiently.
Manager Zhang was not in such a good mood as he was, and he stammered for a long time before he could get out a word.
"The villain is just... just going...just at the gate of Fei Mansion... on the road, passing by..."
Naturally, Wen Xing would not believe his perfunctory rhetoric, he slightly curled his lips and was about to speak again, when something happened suddenly——
There was a sudden sound of breaking through the air outside the window, and Wen Xing only heard the person behind him yell "be careful", and then he was suddenly thrown down, dragging Manager Zhang down along with him.
At the back was Xie Yi who was protecting him with his body, and in front of him was Manager Zhang innocently covering his back. Two sharp arrows just brushed past Wen Xing and scratched his sleeve.However, Xie Yi and Manager Zhang were not so lucky. One arm was scratched and the other was shot solidly by an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, Wen Xing didn't have time to think, he stood up decisively and ordered Tang An: "Chasing!"
As early as the moment the accident happened, Tang An was ready, turned around and chased after saying "yes".
Wen Xing also went out in a moment of desperation, and only had time to tell Fu Lu, who had heard the sound, to call the imperial physician.
The vision was good in daylight, and it didn't take long for Wen Xing to see Tang An, who hadn't chased much, and the man in white who was further away.
Fortunately, Wen Xing picked out a jacket with narrow sleeves today, so it wasn't too troublesome to chase after him, and he gradually narrowed the distance with Tang An.
Wherever the man in white walked, there was no sign of the patrol team, as if the man knew the patrol map by heart.
Wen Xing was suspicious, and when he was distracted, he chased Tang An to a fork.
The left side is still in the harem, and the right side is to go to the place where Emperor Anlong governed during the day.
He only paused on the spot for a few breaths, and said decisively, "I'm on the left and you are on the right."
"Yes." Tang An quickly moved to the right after leaving a word, Wen Xing did not delay, and dodged to the left.
Wen Xing had never walked the road on the left, but it was better because there was no fork, and it was convenient for him to chase all the way to the end.
It's just that Wen Xing didn't catch a glimpse of that smear of whiteness during the next journey.
Could it be that he went to Tang An's side?
But Emperor Anlong usually prefers to stay there, so the guards will be stricter, Wen Xing still thinks that person will go this way more.
His physical strength was gradually exhausted, and Wen Xing couldn't help but slow down, panting lightly and continuing to walk forward.
The left and right have chased here, why not go on and see where this connects.
The flat palace road was deserted, so quiet that only Wen Xing's heavy breath and steady footsteps remained.
Actually, there were no court ladies and eunuchs passing by.
It's eerily quiet here.
It stands to reason that apart from the vicinity of Lenggong, it is impossible for such a long stretch of road to be so inaccessible.And Wen Xing can also clearly know that this place can never lead to the cold palace.
So where does this lead, and why is it so desolate?Perhaps the answer will only be known when he is at the end.
With full vigilance, Wen Xing quietly took out the small dagger that Xie Yi always carried with him by default, and walked forward quickly.
At the very end is a yard.
The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the fallen leaves were piled up under the roots of the trees, forming a thick layer.A few clusters of autumn chrysanthemums are leaning against the wall scatteredly, still tenaciously alive.
The cleanest thing in the whole yard is probably only a set of stone tables and chairs in the middle and a small area around it.
Looking at the spotless appearance there, Wen Xing guessed that this might be the residence of some concubine.
A concubine who lives in such a place is probably the same as being thrown into the cold palace.
With this conjecture, it is not easy for Wen Xing to stay here for a long time.He put away the dagger and looked around, casually searching for the figure of the man in white.
At this moment, there was a "squeak" sound from the cabin behind him.
Wen Xing turned around quickly and vigilantly, but froze in place when he saw the person behind him clearly.
The author has something to say: Recently, I have to write a thesis, make PPT and video, busy with community affairs and the school carnival at the end of the month, and there is a painting task assigned by the teacher to be handed in. I am very busy
So the next two to three chapters will be a relatively short chapter of [-] words, and the writing is relatively hasty. I hope the cuties will forgive me QAQ
