But at the next moment, Wen Xing suddenly felt a pulling force from his right hand, and when he was caught off guard, Xie Yi embraced him.

Before he started to struggle, Xie Yi clung to his ear again, and said softly: "About the previous life, you should have many questions to ask, right?"

Wen Xing was taken aback by the warm breath in his ears, forgetting to struggle.

In fact, what Xie Yi said was not bad. He did have a lot of questions to ask, but because of his status, he could only keep them in his stomach.

Xie Yi saw through his thoughts, gave a low laugh, let go of him and retreated to the most ceremonial distance.

It was as if he saw Wen Xing was about to fall and went to help him just now.

"I know that you are in a bad mood today, so I will wait for you in the East Palace tomorrow night."

Xie Yi only said "wait", but there was certainty in his words.

Wen Xing's hands were slightly clenched, and after a long while, he slowly released them, and said "OK" softly.

No matter how resentful he was, Wen Xing still wanted to hear the facts from Xie Yi himself, and took the last chance to ask him why he did this.

Before that, he still had to go back to the Wen Mansion first to find evidence that would temporarily save him from life-threatening danger.

When Wen Xing walked out of the palace, he found that Xie Yi had thoughtfully prepared a sedan chair for him.For a moment, his mood was a little complicated, after all he didn't reject Xie Yi's kindness, and rushed back to Wen's mansion in a sedan chair.

The gate of Wen's Mansion has been sealed, and the General's Mansion, which usually looks very imposing from the outside, has suddenly become desolate and depressed.

Wen Xing stretched out his hand to gently caress the cold and ruthless seal, and suddenly remembered the "curse" of the Yunwu tribe——

The dream of a guest in a foreign land has no sorrow and complaints, and there are only a few flying swallows in his hometown

He was falsely accused of injustice in the black Taiwan pollution case, and the ancestors were destroyed and the family was scattered.

Looking at it now, it can be regarded as an ancestor who destroyed the family and died.

Unexpectedly, this short four-line poem really became a portrayal of his two lives, worthy of being the curse of the Yunwu tribe.

Wen Xing evoked a bitter smile, slowly tore off the seal, and pushed open the creaking door.

Due to the leniency order for Wen Xing, Emperor Anlong has not yet raided Wen Mansion's house, but only temporarily concentrated on all the servants and closed Wen Mansion.

The whole Wen Mansion was so quiet that even the sound of the silver needle falling to the ground could be clearly heard.

Wen Xing sighed softly, and started searching together with the little guard who had been following him all along.

It's just that God is always unwilling to follow Wen Xing's wishes, the two of them searched from day to night, and then from night to day, and the huge Wen Mansion really couldn't find anything useful.

Wen Xing couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Did Wen Guang and Xu Yuning cover up this matter too well, or did Yun Nian guess wrong?

He quickly ruled out the latter.

Yun Nian is cautious by nature, if he is not [-]% sure, he will not easily confirm a matter.

If it was the former, why did Wen Guang and Xu Yunning bother to hide the matter of his adopted son so far?

Suspicious clouds lingered in his heart along with the dark clouds, so stuffy that they bound Wen Xing's heart.

"Young Master Wen, do you want to continue?"

The little guard, who hadn't slept all night, had black and blue eyes, and looked extremely tired.

The little guard is only responsible for supervising Wen Xing, but he has worked tirelessly to help him for so long, which is really kind.

Wen Xing was too embarrassed to continue to bother him, let out a foul breath, and said with a smile: "No need, it's too much trouble for you. If you can't find it, forget it, it's fate."

He said it calmly, but in fact he was sure in his heart that there would be a turning point.

This is a hunch that comes from the heart, an inexplicable hunch.

Wen Xing picked a relatively clean place in the courtyard and sat on the ground, leaning against the rockery and looking up at the sky.

"Just give up like that?"

There was resignation in the little guard's voice.

Wen Xing smiled without answering, and stretched out his hand to call the little guard over.

"Come and sit here for a while—you can stand if you're too dirty."

The little guard didn't understand what Wen Xing meant, so he had to go over obediently, and sat on the ground not far beside Wen Xing.

Wen Xing smiled at him and motioned him to look up: "What can you see?"

The vast azure is covered by thick clouds, but there is nothing else.

The little guard replied truthfully: "Thick clouds."

Wen Xing asked with a smile: "Then do you know what is hidden behind the clouds?"

"It's the blue sky." The little guard seemed to understand what Wen Xing meant, and answered briefly and forcefully.

Gentle but silent.

In fact, there is not necessarily a blue sky behind the clouds, and it may turn into night in the next moment.

Xingchang Wen let out a sigh of relief and stopped talking. He rested on the rockery for a while, waiting for the night to fall.

The little guard didn't bother him, and sat quietly by the side.

The deceased is like a husband who does not want to leave day or night.

No matter whether Wen Xing is looking forward to or apprehensive, the time of Haishi is inevitably approaching.

The East Palace was brightly lit, Xie Yi sat leisurely in Wen Xing's room, and poured Wen Xing a cup of tea casually.

Wen Xing did not refuse, and after thanking Xie Yi, he still lowered his eyes and remained silent.

There are so many questions I want to ask, I don’t know where to start.

"Your Highness/Ah Xing..."

After a while of silence, the two spoke at the same time, and both paused.

Xie Yi was the first to react, and said with a light smile, "Ah Xing, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, Gu Zhi knows everything."

"Really?" Wen Xing held a half-believing attitude, "One word from a gentleman..."

"It's hard to chase a four-horse horse." Xie Yi gave a firm answer, "As long as you believe it, Gu's words are all the truth."

Hearing this, Wen Xing temporarily regained some trust in Xie Yi.He reached out to play with the warm porcelain cup, thinking for a moment to clear his mind.

Xie Yi was not in a hurry, he just looked at him steadfastly, his eyes focused as if he was looking at some peerless treasure.

Wen Xing moved his body uncomfortably, and after a long while, he slowly opened his mouth: "In my previous life, do you believe that I was innocent?"

Xie Yi said bluntly: "I believe it. From the beginning to the end, I have always believed it."

"Then why do you want to imprison me in heaven?"

Just the first answer made Wen Xing feel disheartened.

If you really believe in him, what will happen later?

Regarding this, Xie Yi also suppressed his only faint smile, and said regretfully: "I just thought that sending you to the dungeon would better prevent other people's attacks, but I never thought that it would lead to..."

"Avoid attacks from others?" Wen Xing sneered, "I'm afraid you are acquiescing to attacks from others."

The shadow of his previous life had hurt him so deeply that he, who was always sensitive and careful, completely forgot the hidden mistakes in Xie Yi's words.

Xie Yi didn't understand why Wen Xing made such a statement, but he said decisively: "I can swear I don't have this, I never thought of hurting you."

Never thought about it?How ridiculous.

Wen Xing's hand holding the teacup was getting tighter and tighter, and the back of his hand had bulging veins.He suppressed the emotions that were about to lose control, and continued to question step by step.

"Then do you dare to say that you did not acquiesce in the torture to extract confessions?"

"And can you guarantee that the last glass of poisoned wine has nothing to do with you?"

"If you really believe in me, why did you put me to death?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wen Xing's words fell, Xie Yi's surprised gaze was met in return.

Wen Xing, who was always paying attention to Xie Yi's expression, raised his brows lightly, as if he was observing whether his expression was fake.

Xie Yi was shocked for a long time before he finally recovered his voice: "You said...torture to extract a confession? What's going on? Didn't you commit suicide in prison by taking poison to prove your innocence?"

"Prove your innocence?" Wen Xing seemed to have heard some joke, "Am I the kind of person who would risk my life for the sake of innocence? It's impossible for you to not understand this."

Wen Xing's last words were like a basin of cold water, waking Xie Yi awake.

The ten years of getting along with each other in the previous life was true, and he should have realized that something was wrong - on the basis of not endangering the country, Wen Xing had always put his own life at the top of the list.

Xie Yi's throat welled up, and he said in a daze, "They...they told me that you committed suicide in fear of crime, so I thought...you were dissatisfied and I didn't believe you."

The emotions on Xie Yi's face were complicated, he seemed surprised, he seemed annoyed, but he didn't seem to be pretending.

It wasn't until this time that Wen Xing calmed down and noticed something suspicious.

From Xie Yi's first few words, it was faintly revealed that he didn't know.However, Tianlao belongs to the direct control of the emperor, and no one should be able to completely avoid Xie Yi, who was then Emperor Yuanqing.

"The sky prison is under your jurisdiction, do you really not know about torture to extract confessions?"

Xie Yi frowned, and said, "I don't know, and I can assure you that I have not issued any orders related to torture to extract confessions."

The seemingly clear cause of death was covered with a thicker layer of fog, and everything became complicated and confusing.

But at least from this point of view, Xie Yi did not seem to have killed Wen Xing in his previous life.

The hatred that had been hidden for more than ten years suddenly lost its object, scattered in Wen Xing's heart, with nowhere to go, nowhere to vent.

"So, the person who killed me in the previous life...wasn't you?"

This time it was Wen Xing's turn to freeze, unconsciously feeling bewildered.

He suddenly didn't know how to face Xie Yi.

"It's definitely not me." Xie Yi raised his eyes and looked at Wen Xing seriously, "And you should know now, I like you. I have liked you since the previous life, so naturally it is impossible to harm you."

The straightforward thoughts disturbed Wen Xing's thoughts, he looked away uncomfortably, and changed the subject stiffly: "But if that's the case, who sent that glass of poisoned wine in the previous life?"

Sensing Wen Xing's deliberate avoidance, Xie Yi lowered his eyes in frustration.He thought about it for a moment, and suddenly remembered a detail.

"By the way, in my previous life, in order to close the case as soon as possible and return your innocence, I specially ordered Fang Liang to take care of you. He was also the one who told me that you committed suicide in fear of crime."

"Fang Liang?" Wen Xing rummaged through a small corner of his memory to find the figure of this person, but he only remembered that he was the Minister of Rites, other than that, he had no memory at all.

However, in his previous life, he was very attractive, so it is not surprising that he has one or two more enemies for no reason.

According to the memory of his previous life, this Fang Liang should have been the most likely to be prime minister.However, Emperor Anlong passed away early, and after Xie Yi ascended the throne, he obviously had a closer relationship with Wen Xing, so he also knew why Fang Liang wanted to harm him.

Going around, after all, because of the word "Quan".

The road to life is long, and there will always be some people who will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, but Wen Xing never imagined that there would be such blatant people.

At the same time, Wen Xing inevitably recalled the time he was slandered a few months ago.

Lu Zong who slandered him at that time seemed to have a close relationship with Fang Liang.
