The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Let her paint a portrait of Xie Lang?

——No dogs are painted.

Xue Mingyue smiled, stuffed the letter back directly, and ordered with a sneer: "Go and get the painting from his study... Forget it, I'll get it myself."

Liu Xing: "Huh?"

Xue Mingyue casually handed over the letter that made her angry, got up and walked towards the study.

There were no guards at the door of the study. Even if Xie Lang knew that she had broken into the study, he did not send more people outside the study to show that he was not guarded against her and that the study was open for her to enter.

But Xue Mingyue didn't notice his little thoughts at all.

She angrily went into the study, took the portrait away from the secret room, and brought it back into the house. As for what Xie Lang said in the letter, she simply pretended not to have seen it, and finished her dinner alone in a sulk.

Liu Yun and Liu Xing secretly exchanged glances.

I felt relieved when I found that the other party couldn't understand what the young lady was angry about or what she was thinking.

Xue Mingyue drank two large bowls of soup before she finally calmed down her turbulent emotions. She despised herself in her heart for being so easily affected by Xie Lang's words, and she was also angry that he was unwilling to tell her the details of the future despite his free time.

Xue Mingyue recited half of the Qingjing Sutra before she managed to suppress the depression in her heart.

No, she must ask him face to face!

She didn't have to worry about other things, but he had to give her an explanation about the portrait!

Xue Mingyue made up her mind and simply did not go back to the house. Instead, she took a book and stayed in the hall to read it. Liu Yun and the others did not dare to ask more questions when they saw this, so they could only order someone to prepare a few more charcoal basins to avoid unnecessary trouble. She caught a cold from it.

The night is getting darker and everything is quiet.

The bangs of the third watch echoed in the empty streets, and the lights were still on in Muqing Courtyard, and the figures were stretched out by the dim yellow light.

Xue Mingyue held a small hand warmer in one hand and a storybook to read in the other.

And his head drooped from time to time.

Only Liu Yun and the two who were waiting beside her knew that this page had not been turned for a long time and they were too sleepy to open their eyes. Liu Yun glanced outside and whispered to the maid who was keeping watch at night to go outside and see if the Marquis had returned to his residence.

And he said softly: "Miss, it's late at night, you should go to bed."

"I think the Marquis has been caught up in something. He may not come back tonight. If you have anything to say, you can wait until tomorrow to talk to the Marquis. It's better to go to bed now. You've been up for half the night. "

Liu Xing yawned: "Yes, Miss, go and have a rest."

It was the middle of the night, and if the Marquis had returned home, he would have gone back a long time ago. Unexpectedly, her young lady suddenly had a whim and waited for the Marquis to come back, and encountered such an unfortunate thing.

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have waited."

Xue Mingyue's tone was prolonged, sounding lazy and with a hint of regret.

She put the storybook on the table casually, rubbed her eyes roughly, but this did not make her sleepy. She mumbled a few times, turned around and walked back into the house, but stopped after taking two steps. Come down, as if remembering something.

"Oh, by the way, remember to order someone to light a lamp outside the door."

Liuyun immediately responded yes.

Just when she was about to turn around and tell someone to do it, she heard her murmur in a low voice: "Save him from always saying that no one is waiting for him to come home."

Leave a light on so he knows someone is waiting.

...

Xie Lang handled official duties for most of the night.

Orders one after another were issued from the Imperial Guard Office, and messages one after another came to him from all sides.

Not only him, but the entire government office was extremely busy tonight. Because Emperor Jingping held a banquet for the envoys from the grassland tribe tonight, they not only had to dedicate some people to monitor the envoys, but also continued to interrogate the newly arrested people. Prison officials.

Xie Lang finished handling the official duties at hand, pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly, and asked, "What time is it now?"

The person who stayed to serve immediately said: "Come back to me, sir, it's just past midnight."

He glanced at the thick night outside, thinking that Xue Mingyue in the house might be as angry as a puffer fish by his letter, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he stood up and said: "Bring me my cloak and order the horse to be ready." .”

"Yes, my lord."

At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside.

Xijiang came in a hurry, with a bit of excitement in his eyebrows. He cupped his hands and said, "Master, I'm awake."

The one who was poisoned finally woke up!

Xie Lang paused slightly as he took the cloak, his expression suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "Maybe I want to ask?"

"After the man heard that it was you, Lord Marquis, who saved him, he said that he wanted to see you in person. He had something very important to talk to you about. The doctor said that he had not been awake for long. If you have anything to ask, please do so as soon as possible. Go."

"Well, let's go."

Xie Lang made his decision immediately.

The group of people rushed directly from the government office to a remote courtyard in the east of the capital. As soon as they entered the door, they happened to meet Doctor Cao coming with soup and medicine.

Doctor Cao nodded first, and his eyes stayed on Xie Lang for a while longer.

Then he said quietly: "Come with me. I know that the Marquis will definitely come tonight, so I specially prepared this medicine for him. After drinking the medicine, the Marquis will have half an hour to ask questions."

"It has to stop after half an hour. He can't last that long."

Xie Lang nodded: "I have a sense of discretion."

Doctor Cao didn't say much when he saw this, and led him into the room. As soon as he opened the curtain, a strong smell of medicine hit his face. No one present showed any signs of discomfort, and they were calm and calm.

The thin man was leaning against the bed.

His hair was still messy after being simply styled, but it exposed his face. His cheeks were sunken, his eyes were dull, there was no trace of blood on his face, and he was so pale that he was crumbling.

But his eyes, which were so dull and numb, suddenly lit up the moment he saw Xie Lang's figure.

He stood up suddenly from the bed and knelt down before he could stand still.

With a hoarse and mocking voice, he shouted: "Your Majesty..."

Xie Lang's eyebrows suddenly raised.

Wu Ye, who was standing by, immediately stepped forward to help him, half-drag him and force him back to the bed, saying: "The Marquis is here, if you have anything to say, just say it, the Marquis will definitely make the decision for you. .”

"and many more."

At this time, Doctor Cao suddenly spoke up, walked over and stared at the man as he finished the medicine in the bowl.

Then he walked out with the empty bowl with satisfaction: "Okay, now you can talk."

Xie Langfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Xijiang. The latter followed him knowingly and stood guard outside the door. His eyes fell on the man, his eyes searching, as if to see through what he was thinking. What.

Prince, no one called him this title ten years ago.

Where did this person come from?

When only a few of them were left in the room, the first words the haggard man spoke were:

"Your Majesty, the prince died unjustly."
