"what?"

The queen's face was full of surprise, and she hurriedly continued to ask: "What happened, tell me quickly."

The court lady knew that she was too anxious just now, so she rationalized her thoughts and said quickly: "Your Majesty sent people to search for the unknown spices at the concubines, and finally found several bags of the same spices at Concubine Mei's place. There are some unknown spices nearby. The Fei Qing sent by His Majesty wanted to search further, but Concubine Mei suddenly went crazy and didn't allow anyone to approach."

Several characters were involved in the long passage, and Wen Xing immediately noticed the name "Fei Qing".

In addition, he couldn't help thinking of Xie Qing, the only son of Concubine Mei.

"Your Highness."

Wen Xing shouted in a low voice, Xie Yi understood, nodded to him, stood up and asked the queen for instructions: "Your health has not recovered yet, my mother, can you let me go and deal with this matter for now?"

It stands to reason that this is a matter between concubines in the harem, and Xie Yi, as the prince, is not suitable for meddling, but now that the situation is urgent, the queen nodded and agreed without thinking.

Xie Yi and Wen Xing retreated politely, and hurried to the most remote courtyard.

In the past, the deserted place where even a bird was hard to find, because of today's incident, the small yard was surrounded for the first time.

"His Royal Highness is here—"

Fu Lu, who was always following the two of them dutifully, shouted at the top of his voice, and the bustling crowd of people who watched the excitement finally got a lot of peace and knelt down to salute.

Taking advantage of Xie Yi's status, Wen Xing quickly passed the well-informed concubines, and saw Fei Qing who was frowning tightly in the courtyard, Xie Qing who shrank aside with a vague expression, and Concubine Mei who had disheveled hair and no dignity.

The cold wind caressed, blowing off a few petals of red plums in the corner of the yard.

The companion behind Fei Qing was holding several small bags, which must be the spices found in the bag.

Following Fu Lu's call, Fei Qing also noticed the two people who came, and turned sideways to Xie Yi politely: "My subordinates will see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xie Yi waved his hand casually, signaling him to get up.

Wen Xing walked straight up to Fei Qing, and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation now?"

Fei Qing thanked Xie Yi and stood up, glanced at Concubine Mei not far away, curled his lips and said: "That's the case. We searched the harem according to His Majesty's instructions, and found the spices that were exactly as described by the imperial physician at Concubine Mei's place, but But she suddenly popped out and insisted that we were trespassing in the forbidden area."

What kind of forbidden area can there be in the palace of a little concubine?

Naturally, Fei Qing and the others would not believe her words, he glanced at Xie Yi who was going to drive away the crowd, and said in a low voice, "I suspect there is something wrong with her."

While speaking, Fei Qing stretched out his index finger and nodded his head.

Hearing this, Wen Xing subconsciously looked at Xie Qing, but Xie Qing was standing in front of the hut he went to most often with his head down, still unable to see his expression clearly.

At this moment, Concubine Mei seemed to have just recognized Wen Xing, and yelled with a livid face: "Get out, you little bastard!"

The sharpness of her voice was comparable to that of Fu Lu, and almost all the people present were taken aback by her sudden shout.

"Who are you scolding?!"

Xie Yi, who was already disturbed by chasing away his concubine, immediately lost face and was about to step forward quickly.

Wen Xing hurried over to stop him, and said in a low voice: "The Sixth Highness once said that Concubine Mei doesn't like you and me, and what Yi Feiqing said, Concubine Mei may have some mental problems, so don't get involved for now. "

Concubine Mei could be regarded as Wen Xing's aunt, after he stopped Xie Yi, he did not rashly anger Concubine Mei further, and said calmly, "I don't know where this humble minister offended Concubine Mei?"

"Where did you offend me? You have the nerve to ask!" Concubine Mei seemed to have heard some joke, and the resentment in her pair of black eyes seemed to overflow.

She stared fixedly at Wen Xing, glaring angrily, and her pale face added a bit of sternness to her.

"It's you, you little bastard, who killed my two elder brothers!"

Concubine Mei is Wen Xing's aunt, so her two elder brothers are Wen Xing's uncles.It's just that Wen Xing never even knew that he had two uncles, let alone killed him?

Wen Xing frowned slightly, and said, "Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying..."

Before the sound of "Shuo" fell, Concubine Mei interrupted him roughly: "I still want to quibble! If it weren't for you, my brother would never have died!"

The inexplicable accusation provoked an unknown anger in Wen Xing's heart. He was about to say something more when he was caught off guard and met Concubine Mei's distracted gaze.

Something was wrong with her.

"Without you, my brother would not have died..."

"Without you, my brother would not have died..."

Concubine Mei kept repeating this sentence like a murmur, her absent-minded eyes seemed to lose focus, and she kept shaking her head slightly, as if she was looking for something.

Wen Xing didn't know what she was going to do again, and stared at her vigilantly.

After a moment of stalemate, Concubine Mei suddenly raised her head, her dull eyes were fixed on Wen Xing, making people feel cold for no reason.

"Yes, it's you, you little bastard! As long as there is no you, nothing will happen to my brother!"

Before Concubine Mei could finish her sentence, she suddenly raised the hairpin that she had pulled out for a long time, and went straight towards Wen Xing.

Fei Qing and Xie Yi who were present, and Tang An who was hiding in the shadows were always on guard against Concubine Mei, and when they saw this, they rushed towards Wen Xing.

Concubine Mei is not far from Wen Xingben, and in a flash, he quickly deduced the most suitable escape plan.

However, just when he was about to hide sideways, the youngest Xie Qing rushed to Concubine Mei's side first and grabbed her.

At the same time, Wen Xing was pulled aside by Xie Yi, Fei Qing and Tang An also stood in front of him at the same time.

As soon as Wen Xing's throat rolled, a few words were about to be squeezed out, but he was shocked by the change in front of him again.

"six……"

"Mother..."

"Snapped--"

The crisp applause abruptly interrupted the two people who were about to speak.

As if that slap wasn't enough to relieve her anger, Concubine Mei grabbed Xie Qing's ear again, and angrily said: "Good boy, have you forgotten everything Mother Concubine told you?! How dare you help me?" These little bastards!"

"Brother Prince and Ke Meng are not little beasts!" Xie Qing retorted loudly with red eyes, her clear voice was extremely penetrating, piercing Concubine Mei's eardrum like an awl.

Concubine Mei was enraged by his words, she raised her hand and was about to slap again.

"stop!"

Xie Yi at the side finally couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly stepped forward and clasped Concubine Mei's wrist tightly and threw her to the ground, shouting: "Xie Qing is the sixth prince, how can you allow you to insult me ​​like this!"

Wen Xing also followed closely, and gently embraced Xie Qing who looked like she was about to cry at any moment.There is only a coldness in the eyes that usually carry a gentle smile.He looked at Concubine Mei who fell to the ground, and said coldly: "I just respected you as my aunt before, and you just push your feet. How dare you insult and beat the prince?"

Concubine Mei didn't get up after falling to the ground, she glared at Wen Xing and Xie Yi viciously, and said, "He is my son, so naturally he is allowed to be beaten and scolded by me, why are you meddling in my own business!"

"Just because Gu is the current crown prince, and Xie Qing is Gu's younger brother of the Sixth Emperor!" Xie Yi looked down at Concubine Mei with a gloomy expression, and a rare coercion appeared all over his body.

This is the first time he has emphasized his identity in front of others, and his natural domineering aura is enough to deter Concubine Mei who is insane for a while.

Taking advantage of her silence, Wen Xing finally took the time to ask Xie Qing's situation: "Your Highness Sixth, are you... all right?"

Xie Qing lowered her head, was silent for a long while before raising her head, with a forced smile, said in a hoarse voice, "I... am fine."

Just as Xie Qing said these four short words, Wen Xing noticed the mist in his eyes.

How can you feel okay like this?

Wen Xing reached out his hand to touch his swollen cheek, but he didn't dare to do it after all. He rubbed the ends of his hair distressedly, and gently hugged him to comfort him silently.

Judging from Concubine Mei's actions today, I'm afraid that Xie Qing suffered under her hands a lot in the past.

However, Xie Qing pushed Wen Xing away resolutely, maintained the inauthentic smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "I'm fine, Ke Meng, you don't need to comfort me."

Having said that, Wen Xing could still hear the choking in his voice.

Such strength is even more heart-wrenching.

Wen Xing understood his stubbornness, rubbed his head helplessly, and held his cold hand instead.

The scene was once very warm.

But what Concubine Mei dislikes the most is other people's warm scenes.

The moment Wen Xing pulled Xie Qing into his arms, he saw Concubine Mei standing up behind Xie Yi holding a hairpin.

"Your Highness!"

"careful!"

Tang An, who was on standby, rushed up immediately, holding the silver-white hairpin with his bare hands, and a red slit appeared in her palm.

Fei Qing followed closely behind, taking advantage of Tang An's gap in holding Concubine Mei to restrain her.

"How are you doing?!"

"It's okay." Tang An shook his head expressionlessly, and then controlled Concubine Mei together.

Concubine Mei took advantage of their relaxation of vigilance and tried to repeat the old tricks, but was smashed to pieces.

"Concubine Mei, you are so courageous!" Xie Yi squeezed a few words through his teeth, "First you beat and scolded the prince, and now you want to assassinate Gu, what should you do!"

"I am innocent!"

Concubine Mei screamed and wanted to break free, but unfortunately she couldn't hold back Fei Qing.

"You people are all damned!"

"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

Concubine Mei was completely insane, Xie Yi didn't intend to continue entanglement with her, and ordered Fei Qing and his companion to detain Concubine Mei.

So far this farce has just begun to end.

Xie Qing watched Concubine Mei being taken down step by step, neither crying nor fussing, without any reaction.

In the final analysis, he is also a poor child, who has such a concubine mother.

Wen Xing looked at the silent Xie Qing, feeling pity in his heart.

Regardless of whether Concubine Mei really framed the queen, but judging from her intention to assassinate the prince and her insanity, she is destined to have no good end.

But Xie Qing is still young, before he can live without his mother and concubine, what should he do?
