Wen Xing winked at Xie Yi, signaling him to make a statement.

Xie Qing's future situation was naturally taken into consideration by Xie Yi. He squatted down, met Xie Qing's calm gaze, and said softly, "You are still young and cannot live on your own. When the time comes, you will apply to your father to let you go." You go to the queen. But before the queen recovers, you will temporarily live in the East Palace. Are you willing to accept such an arrangement?"

The empress always loved children, and she happened to meet Xie Qing a few times when she came to the East Palace, and she had a good impression of this cute child of Yuxue.Moreover, the queen has only one daughter and one son, and Xie Yi who is still alive has grown up, so it seems that it is indeed the best choice to put Xie Qing with the queen.

Xie Qing suppressed her negative emotions, blinked her eyes expectantly, and asked, "Is it okay?"

"of course can."

Xie Yi patted Xie Qing on the head, hesitated for a moment and added: "As for today's matter, you... forget it as soon as possible."

Xie Qing nodded obediently, and said, "I will, Brother Prince, don't worry about me."

Behind Xie Qing, Wen Xing sighed secretly, and said: "It's freezing cold, let's go back first, so as not to freeze your body, and by the way, he will also treat the injury on His Highness Six's face."

Xie Yi nodded in agreement with Wen Xing's words, got up and went back to the East Palace with Xie Qing.

During this period, Xie Qing only looked back when she walked out of the yard, and she didn't make a sound during the rest of the journey.

Wen Xing and Xie Yi didn't have much to say, and returned to the East Palace in silence.

Xie Yi ordered Fu Lu to vacate a room for Xie Qing, and asked Wen Xing to bring him medicine, and let him settle down for the time being.

Later, when Emperor Anlong learned of this, he immediately ordered someone to search Mei Fei's yard inside and out, and finally found several books about the poisonous art of the Yunwu tribe in the so-called "forbidden area".

According to the records, it is actually safe to use the poisonous spices in the queen's palace alone, but if mixed with plum fragrance at the same time, it will cause weakness and coma in the short term, and mental disorder or even sudden illness and death in the long term.

In the end, Concubine Mei was executed for poisoning the queen, assassinating the prince, insulting the prince and colluding with foreigners, and was given a glass of poisoned wine.

Nian's youngest son is still young, so he temporarily lives in the East Palace, and will be raised by the queen after the queen recovers.

Although the case ended like this, everyone couldn't figure out one thing - there were no plum trees inside and outside Qinglan Palace, and there was no plum blossom mixed in the spice, so where did the plum fragrance come from?

There was a lot of speculation for a while, but because it was a matter of Emperor Anlong's own family, it didn't take long before it gradually subsided.

But Wen Xing couldn't calm down.

Others don't know but he knows very well that Mei Xiang was sent to the queen by his mother in his name.

He couldn't figure out, what was the intention of his mother doing this?

If, as Concubine Mei said, he killed her two uncles, then the matter of the medicinal materials last time can be assumed to be that his mother wanted to poison him, but there was an accident during the period.

So what is the matter of the sachet?

Why did his mother target the queen?

Even if the mother wanted to use the sachet to frame him, as long as he told the origin of the sachet, wouldn't she be the one who set the fire on her?

Everything was too complicated and confusing, and Wen Xing was not good at questioning it himself so as not to startle the snake, so he had to rot this matter secretly in his stomach.

In the next few days, in order to appease Xie Qing, Xie Yi ordered everyone in the East Palace not to discuss about Concubine Mei.

And Xie Qing always acted the same as usual, as if the matter of Concubine Mei didn't exist at all.

But after all, it just seems.

Because there are too many things going on recently, Wen Xing wants to take advantage of the quietness of the night to take a stroll in the East Palace, blowing the cold wind to clear his mind.

It's just that this blow brought the faint sobs in Xie Qing's room to his ears.

After all, Xie Qing was just a child, even if she didn't want to reveal it in front of others, she still couldn't help it when she was alone.

Wen Xing stood in front of his room door without moving for a long time, and finally returned to his room with a low sigh.

The next day, under Wen Xing's suggestion, Xie Yi decided to take Xie Qing out of the palace for a stroll, in the name of expanding his knowledge of the outside of the palace.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, both Xie Yi and Xie Qing changed into ordinary people's clothes, pretending to be just a pair of brothers from an ordinary family.

Wen Xing originally wanted to pretend to be their attendant, but at Xie Yi's strong request, he pretended to be Xie Yi's friend instead.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Zhang'an City has faded from the New Year's excitement and returned to calm.A slight chill soaked in the air, and I felt refreshed.

People in the streets and alleys reminisced about the aftertaste of the New Year, and each started a new year on the usual track.

After Mei Niang's shop moved out, it was bought by another person and turned into a restaurant and inn. Because of its excellent food, it became famous in Zhang'an city almost overnight.

Wen Xing had never had time to taste the so-called "excellent" taste here before, so he just took this opportunity to experience it.

It's not even noon yet, the lobby of this dream restaurant is already buzzing with people, very lively.

"Do the three guest officials want a private room or a lobby?"

Seeing the three of Wen Xing, the waiter in the shop hurried forward to say hello.

Wen Xing glanced at Xie Qing whose eyes were full of curiosity, smiled and said to Xie Yi: "Looking at Xiaoqing, I think it's very novel, why don't we just go to the lobby?"

"It's up to you." Xie Yi smiled softly, and glanced at Wen Xing calmly, holding Xie Qing's hand all the time.

Xie Qing didn't notice Xie Yi's small eyes, she rolled her eyes with a smile and said happily: "Thank you brother, brother is really the best!"

Xie Yi chuckled lightly and pinched Xie Qing's tender and smooth face, "Thank me for what? Thank you, Brother Ke Meng."

When speaking of the last four words, Xie Yi deliberately emphasized his tone.

Originally, Xie Qing had planned to change his address from "Brother Prince" to "Brother", but he insisted on calling Wen Xing "Brother Kemeng".

It just so happened that Wen Xing was feeling pity for Xie Qing, so he simply agreed. God knows how jealous Xie Yi was of his little brother.

Wen Xing could hear something was wrong in Xie Yi's tone, but he didn't know the reason, so he ignored him, and said gently to Xiaoer: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xiao Er waved his hands again and again, said "Don't bother me" several times, and at the same time led them to the vacant seats in the lobby.

There was an endless stream of people who came here or came back to Yimeng restaurant. After the waiter led them to the table, he handed over a recipe to apologize, and hurriedly went to receive the next guest officer.

The three randomly ordered a few signature dishes from the menu, and waited patiently for the dishes to be served under Xiao Er's apology.

There are many people in the lobby, so it is inevitable that there will be some "sighted people" who discuss the government.

"Hey, have you guys heard of the guy named Wen Xing?"

"How could it be possible that I haven't heard of it! The prince's former companion is now an idle Chinese doctor, and he can receive a salary without working, tsk tsk."

Hearing others' evaluation of him suddenly, Wen Xing raised his eyebrows lightly, without changing his expression.

They were also right.

Xie Yi didn't look as good-tempered as him, and frowned.

Wen Xing smiled at him reassuringly, and continued to eavesdrop openly.

It's just that the more people at the table chat, the worse the wind direction becomes.

"Do you still remember what happened to the queen a while ago?"

"Remember, it is said that until now no one can guess how Mei Xiang got into Qinglan Palace."

"Hey, then you don't know enough. I heard people say that Mei Xiang was brought in by Wen Xing!"

Wen Xing's movements of drinking tea in a leisurely manner suddenly froze.

"real or fake?"

A person at the next table lowered his voice.

Although he has no real power, Wen Xing can be regarded as an official, so it's better to be careful when talking openly.

It’s just that the other person didn’t seem to think so, and smiled contemptuously, and said, “Can there be a fake? He gave the queen a sachet at the queen’s birthday banquet before, and the sachet was embroidered with plum blossoms, so it must have the fragrance of plum blossoms on it.”

"But it doesn't make sense, what is his intention to do this?"

"Oh, who knows. Do you still remember the incident when he was imprisoned before? It started with a lot of trouble, and finally pushed a servant from Wen's mansion to close the case hastily. Who knows if there is any inside story?"

"His father was stationed at the southern border before, and his elder brother also applied to be stationed in the south a while ago, maybe their family will also have some kind of cloud and black Gu technique, and put a Gu on the prince! Otherwise, why would the prince help him like this?"

The charges got bigger and bigger, Wen Xing clenched his right hand tightly.The coldness of the tea cup penetrated the flesh and blood of the fingertips and spread to the whole body.

The latter thing is outrageous, but how did they know about the sachet?

He has never told anyone about Mei Xiang, including Xie Yi, where did the ordinary people in this area learn about it?

"How could they say that!"

Hearing these words, Xie Qing was indignant, puffed her cheeks and said angrily: "I'm going to argue with them! Ke Meng is not such a person!"

Xie Yi beside him was even more gloomy, with his slender and fair hands pressed on the table, his veins bulging faintly.

Wen Xing pursed his lips, and lightly stopped Xie Qing.

"There's no need to go, there's nothing wrong with what they said except for the vomit."

Xie Yi raised his eyes, but there was no expression in his pair of black eyes.

"The plum fragrance is indeed in the sachet." Wen Xing added lightly, "The sachet was indeed sent in my name."

Xie Qing keenly grasped the key words, and said, "You said it was in your name, so in fact it wasn't you who decided to give it away?"

Hearing this, Wen Xing lowered his eyelashes to cover up the trace of self-mockery in his eyes, and said, "My mother asked me to give it in my name."

Xie Qing didn't know about Wen Xing's mother, so she was taken aback for a moment.

"You haven't told me about this."

Xie Yi spoke in a nonchalant manner, not knowing whether it was to blame or something else.

"Well, I wanted to keep this matter to myself, so I didn't tell anyone about it." Wen Xing's hands clenched tightly, and finally let go of the warm porcelain cup.

Xie Yi frowned even tighter.

Obviously he also heard something was wrong.

The three people at one table fell silent. At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted the discussion at the neighboring table, and also broke their mixed thoughts.

"I said, it's not really true, is it?"

The author has something to say: Is there any cutie who would like to guess who it is~
