The prince is shameless

Apart from camouflage, Tang An was also good at concealment. He sneaked into Fei Qing's room and found the most important evidence without anyone noticing.

In the next few days, the unresolved case of Fei Qing ended with the execution of Fei Qing, and everything seemed to be settled.

It's just that on the day when Fei Qing was about to be sent to the execution ground, a person who claimed to be his maid suddenly beat a drum to call for grievances, and presented a white jade pendant engraved with the word "Zhang Ping", and Zhang Ping was the manager's name.

After that, Xie Yi, who personally announced the closure of the case, took Zhang Ping, who was rumored to be dead, and the sixth prince who had "quarreled" with Xie Yi to court, and identified Lu Zong and Zhang Ping respectively.

Then, the most authoritative imperial physician in the palace identified that the smell of spices on the so-called "stolen goods" was consistent with the smell on Zhang Ping's body.

The seemingly doomed corrupt official Fei Qing suddenly became a wronged innocent.

After careful verification by Emperor Anlong, it was finally confirmed that Fei Qing was innocent, and he was released as an official and returned to his original post.As for Lu Zong and Zhang Ping, they were sent to Tiandi Prison for framing loyal officials, and they were interrogated later.

Afterwards, Xie Yi summoned Wen Xing who had "fallen out" with him, and Wen Xing moved back to the East Palace the next day.

Secretly, Xie Yi and Wen Xing also went to the prison together, intending to question Lu Zong's true purpose behind it.However, when they went to the prison, they found that Lu Zong had already committed suicide by taking poison.

The clues about Yunwu were interrupted again, Wen Xing and Xie Yi had no choice but to pursue it no further.

The case of Fei Qing has finally come to an end. Xie Yi, who was busy with military affairs and political affairs, was finally able to rest for a few months before him and the crown ceremony - but it was really only a month. Another big thing happened.

-

On October 25st, the 21th year of Anlong, there were less than two months before the Crown Prince's coronation ceremony, and most people in the entire palace began to be busy with various preparations.

That night, Xie Yi, who was summoned by Emperor Anlong to the imperial study, did not return for a long time.

Wen Xing was not surprised when he saw that the eunuch who came to deliver the message looked as if there was something important.When he was about to go back to his room to rest, the eunuch suddenly came again.

"Young Master Wen, Your Majesty has called you to the Imperial Study."

Wen Xing was taken aback, he didn't expect that Emperor An Long would summon him suddenly.But in the end, the emperor's order was hard to disobey, he looked at the drizzle in the dark night, which was not clear, took an oiled paper umbrella, and hurried to the imperial study.

The Imperial Study Room is not far from the East Palace, nor is it close.

Before Wen Xing arrived, he saw an apricot-yellow figure standing upright and kneeling in the drizzle from afar, and another bright-yellow figure standing with his hands behind his back, standing under the eaves of the royal library with his back to Wen Xing .

Seeing this situation, Wen Xing suddenly felt that something was wrong - no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like something good.

He stopped on the spot for a moment, but still walked to Xie Yi's side bravely.He handed the rain gear to the accompanying young eunuch, raised his clothes and knelt on the slightly damp ground, and said respectfully: "My servant sees Your Majesty."

"Get up."

Unexpectedly, Emperor An Long didn't let Wen Xing speak on his knees.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wen Xing glanced at Xie Yi who had been staring at him since he came, but still didn't say or do anything.

At the same time as he got up, Emperor Anlong finally turned around, his expression was not too much, so that people could not see his happiness or anger.

This time there was no need for Wen Xing to ask, Emperor An Long said, "It's only two months since Xie Yi left the teacher, what are your plans then?"

Apart from being particularly angry, Emperor An Long would rarely call Xie Yi's name directly. Wen Xing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to look at Xie Yi.

"You don't have to think about him, just say what you think."

Emperor An Long interrupted Wen Xing's movements with a word.

Wen Xing pursed his lips for a moment, but still said truthfully: "I have promised His Highness the Crown Prince to follow His Highness for one year after he leaves the teacher, and request to be released after one year."

While speaking, he couldn't help looking at Emperor Anlong's expression, only to see that he was still indifferent.

Wen Xing couldn't figure out what Emperor Anlong was trying to do, so he stood where he was and didn't say anything more.

Emperor Anlong didn't make a sound, and each remained silent.

The sound of the pattering rain became clearer in the silence.

It was only then that Wen Xing remembered that Xie Yi was still kneeling by his side. He considered his words and said softly, "It's very cold at night, and it's raining lightly. Although I don't know where His Highness has offended His Majesty, I still dare to ask for permission. I will send His Highness back to the palace first, so as not to catch the cold."

Emperor An Long seemed to have just remembered Xie Yi's situation, snorted coldly, and said, "I can't freeze him to death."

But Xie Yi is the prince after all, Emperor Anlong agreed to Wen Xing's request in order to take the overall situation into consideration.

Wen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, stepped back after saying goodbye, and was about to help Xie Yi up.

However, the way Xie Yi looked at him changed at some point, it was more aggressive than the initial simple suspicion, which made him dare not look directly at Xie Yi for a while.

It was as if I was a child with a guilty conscience who had done something wrong.

Wen Xing's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his eyes to avoid Xie Yi's sight, and when he reached out to touch him, he waved them away.

Xie Yi stood up tremblingly with his own perseverance, the part of his hair that was wet by the rain stuck to his face, looking a bit embarrassed.

His gaze was like a torch, and he met Shang Anlong's gaze without fear, left a sentence "my son will not give up", then turned around and was about to leave, and walked directly into the rain without caring about his body.

Wen Xing didn't know the cause and effect, so he smiled apologetically at Emperor Anlong, and hastily took the oil-paper umbrella from the little eunuch's hand and chased after him.

I don't know if it was because he had been kneeling for a long time, but Xie Yi's steps were frivolous and messy, and Wen Xing caught up to him after a while.

"Your Highness." Wen Xing covered the rain that was dripping on Xie Yi's body, and called softly.

Unexpectedly, this time Xie Yili ignored Wen Xing, her thin lips were tightly pressed into a line, and she looked straight ahead without squinting.

Wen Xing was annoyed at the fact that he was still there just now, he sighed softly, and dutifully comforted him: "Although I don't know what you said to His Majesty about giving up or not, His Majesty will not harm you after all, you should still Appropriately listen to some suggestions.”

"Besides, His Majesty is your father after all, so you really shouldn't be too disobedient."

His words were just advice out of duty, Xie Yi was not expected to listen.As a result, as soon as the words fell, Xie Yi's figure flickered and was about to fall to one side.

Wen Xing subconsciously reached out to help.

Xie Yi couldn't avoid it this time, and was grabbed by Wen Xing.

It's just that Wen Xing didn't expect Xie Yi to simply turn around and face him face to face, and then leaned against him vainly.

The fiery breath sprayed on Wen Xing's neck by coincidence, and only then did he realize that Xie Yi was scalding like a big stove.

"Your Highness, how long have you been kneeling in the rain?"

Wen Xing frowned tightly, and changed his intention to push him away into a gentle hug, lest he accidentally fall to the cold and wet ground again.

Xie Yi still didn't speak, and leaned against Wen Xing quietly.

The sound of breathing in the ears gradually became long and gentle——Xie Yi fell asleep.

Wen Xingdeng didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The oil-paper umbrella fell to the ground when Xie Yi approached, and the cold rain mercilessly wet the two people who were leaning together.

Just staying like this is not an option.

Wen Xing sighed helplessly, and shook Xie Yi lightly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince? Wake up first, we will go back to the East Palace and sleep again, okay?"

Considering that Xie Yi's weight is not light, and he is a little taller than Wen Xing, he couldn't bring him back when he was asleep, so he had to wake him up like a child.

Xie Yi rubbed reluctantly, but didn't get up.

"Sleeping outside will make your condition worse." Wen Xing pushed Xie Yi again, patiently coaxing, "Your Highness, stop making trouble, and go back with me, okay?"

With Wen Xing's help, Xie Yi forced himself to stand upright, opened his eyes in a daze, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I didn't make trouble! I really... like you..."

His voice became softer and softer, so that Wen Xing only heard the first half of the sentence, when he was feverish and dazed.

Wen Xing picked up the oiled paper umbrella on the ground and shook it a few times, propped up most of Xie Yi's body again, and said with a light smile, "Okay, Your Highness is not making trouble. Go back, otherwise I will leave you here Yes, huh?"

"Ah."

I don't know if he finally listened to Wen Xing's words, but Xie Yi lowered his eyelashes and responded in a low voice.He stretched out his hand and gently grabbed the corner of Wen Xing's sleeve, like a half-old child, obedient and clingy.

Wen Xing smiled and didn't shake him off, taking care of his pace and slowly returning to the East Palace.

At this time, the night was dark, and there were only a few palace people left in the brightly lit East Palace, including Fu Lu and Tang An.

"Son!"

"Your Highness!"

The two people who were waiting in front of the East Palace hurried forward.

Wen Xing met their worried eyes, smiled reassuringly, and said, "It's nothing. However, His Highness has been drenched in the rain for a while, and now he is a little feverish. You may have to trouble Mr. Fu Lu to help His Highness go back to the room to rest."

"Don't bother, don't bother!" Fu Lu hurriedly responded, holding an umbrella and stepping forward to support Xie Yi.

Wen Xing withdrew a small half step, and then told Tang An: "Can you help bring a bucket of hot water?"

Tang An clasped his fists in both hands to accept the order, "Your subordinate obeys!"

"I'll go to the small kitchen to make medicine for His Highness. Please, Mr. Fu Lu, please watch Your Highness and let him take a bath and change clothes before going to bed."

Wen Xing arranged it in an orderly manner.

When he was bored in the East Palace, he read many books, including many medical classics.And three years ago when Xie Qing first went to the East Palace, she often fell ill, and the imperial physicians came frequently, so Wen Xing also took the opportunity to learn some medical skills from them.

He can't cure difficult and miscellaneous diseases, but ordinary cold and fever are still no problem.

In addition, Xu Yunning gave him a lot of herbs a while ago, which just came in handy.

Wen Xing let out a sigh of relief, went back to his room and changed his clothes, took the herbs and went into the little stove that was rarely used.

Fortunately, for convenience, there is a small kitchen in the East Palace.If going to the imperial doctor at such a night alarmed others, maybe what kind of rumors would spread in the palace.

Especially at this time, many people are still busy with Xie Yi and crown ceremony.

If Xie Yi hadn't agreed to assist him for another year, Wen Xing really didn't want to take care of these bad things.

He rubbed his temples wearily, then shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and boiled medicine for Xie Yi.

Perhaps it was because he was in a busy and tense state for a long time before, but this time Xie Yi became a little delirious when he burned up, and he didn't know if he would obediently go to take a bath.

Wen Xing thought about it and went to his room during the time between boiling the medicine.

"No."

As expected, Wen Xing heard Xie Yi's dissatisfied words before entering the door.

"Your Highness, you should put on your shoes first! Although there is a charcoal fire in the room, the floor is really cold..."

"Are you annoying, go away!"

Xie Yi turned around angrily, ignoring Fu Lu's earnest words.

It's really like living back to the appearance of seven or eight years old.

Wen Xing smiled helplessly, and said as he walked in: "How much does your Highness despise the minister, why did the minister leave just after he came?"

"Eunuch Fu Lu, you go back first, leave this to me."

Seeing a large pool of water and scattered clothes not far from Xie Yi, Wen Xing guessed that he had already bathed, so he simply let Fu Lu go down first.

Fu Lu made a "promise", looked at his master who had become wayward again, and left with a sigh.

It was also from the moment Wen Xing uttered his voice that he could clearly feel Xie Yi's eyes looking at him with a hint of resentment.

Could it be that he provoked Xie Yi again?

Unknown to Wen Xing, he went in, still pretending to be coaxing a child, and walked over, saying, "It's cold on the ground, go back and sit on the bed, okay?"

"Never."

Xie Yi muttered something in a low voice, but still slowly turned and walked towards the bed.
