After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

After returning from the Taifu Mansion after handing in his calligraphy, Xie Nanxing found a serious book and left the study, lying on the rocking chair in the yard to receive the baptism of thought.

Xiao Gao wiped the sweat off his face with a towel and fanned Xie Nanxing, fearing that the hot weather would heat Xie Nanxing.

"Xiao Gao, please stop slapping me."

Because his body was too weak, while others were suffering from the heat, Xie Nanxing felt it was just right. Even at night, Xie Nanxing had to cover himself with a blanket.

Completely different from Xie Nanxing, Xiao Gao is a little fat, so he would sweat profusely even if he did nothing in the summer.

Although the sun is about to set, the heat on the ground has not yet dissipated, and Xiao Gao will be sweating in a short while.

"It's getting dark, I'll fan you and keep the mosquitoes away."

"I'm wearing a sachet and there's mugwort fumigating here, so no mosquitoes will bite me."

Xie Nanxing took the palm-leaf fan from Xiao Gao's hand and said, "I'm not hot to begin with, but I see that you are getting hotter here. Go inside and cool down for a while, and come back to serve me after dinner."

Shen Jinmo has always been a tolerant person. For the sake of Xie Nanxing's health, the ice jar in the main room was only turned on when Xie Nanxing was not around, to lower the heat in the room.

When Xie Nanxing enters the room, the ice mirror must be taken away.

It was indeed cool when Xiao Gao went in at this time.

Xie Nanxing was leisurely fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan in one hand, while reading a book calmly in the setting sun.

Servants came in from outside one after another to the main courtyard gate. When they saw Xie Nanxing from afar, they would kowtow and salute in a very proper manner, which was very different from their usual relaxed demeanor.

They looked like they were afraid that Xie Nanxing would eat them.

Xie Nanxing's originally quiet state of reading was broken. He couldn't concentrate on the contents of the book, so he simply put the book down and ate the fruit handed to him by the maid.

But the way this fruit was eaten was not clean. No matter whether Xie Nanxing was in the yard or in the house, he would always raise his hand to ask the kneeling servants to stand up.

It wasn't that Xie Nanxing wanted to lift them, but if he didn't, those people would just keep kneeling.

Finally it was time for dinner, and Xie Nanxing ate his meal while being served by Xiao Gao.

After finishing the medicinal meal, Xie Nanxing felt it was a bit greasy. He put down the spoon a little loudly, and Xiao Gao was so scared that he fell to his knees.

"What's wrong with you?" Xie Nanxing lowered his eyes suspiciously: "Why do you keep kneeling to me all day long?"

Xie Nanxing was somewhat superstitious. He always felt that if one's fate was not good enough, being frequently worshipped by these people would easily shorten his lifespan.

Xie Nanxing still wanted to live a few more years with Shen Jinmo.

"Nothing, nothing." Xiao Gao stood up from the ground with a slightly frivolous smile and called a few maids to come in and clean the table.

Xie Nanxing caught a glimpse of the maids carrying the bowls and plates. They were trembling particularly noticeably, and the paler their faces were than that of a sickly man like him.

Taking a closer look, Xie Nanxing could smell an unfamiliar medicinal scent.

So something definitely happened that he didn't know about, and these people were hiding it from him.

Xie Nanxing had no desire to force the question. He would wait for Shen Jinmo to come back and then he would just ask Shen Jinmo and he would know everything.

After being confused for a while, Xie Nanxing took off his robe and started practicing the Five Animal Exercises in the yard.

In the past, Xiao Gao would go to prepare toiletries for him at this time, but since he didn't like being served, there would definitely be no one watching over him all the time.

But at this moment, four servants were waiting on the side with copper basins, towels and other utensils. Although their heads were lowered, as long as Xie Nanxing's breathing was a little louder, these people would be scared and kneel on the ground.

This feeling was too depressing, and Xie Nanxing didn't like it very much: "You all should just go and do your own things. If you really have nothing to do, go and rest early."

He knelt on the ground, his back prostrated, and begged for mercy: "Young Master, spare my life."

With a heavy breath, Xie Nanxing raised his hand and softened his voice: "Everyone go down, Xiao Gao will serve me."

The kneeling servant bravely looked up and confirmed that Xie Nanxing was really not angry before he stood up and left the yard.

After performing the Five Animal Exercises twice, the moon appeared on the branches of the willow trees.

After Xie Nanxing finished bathing, she changed into mulberry silk underwear. Xiao Gao used a towel to wring out Xie Nanxing's hair while Xie Nanxing sat in a rocking chair and looked at the courtyard gate.

If Shen Jinmo came back late, Xie Nanxing would wait like this.

Shen Jinmo seemed to be a little busy during this period. He would occasionally come home late, but he would always ask Mo Ping to come and say hello to him.

But not tonight.

Putting all the causes and consequences together, Xie Nanxing felt a sense of weirdness in his heart. After a moment of absorption in it, Xie Nanxing's heart was filled with panic.

He was afraid that someone would bully Shen Jinmo.

He was afraid that Shen Jinmo would be wronged.

.

At this moment, Mo Ping was like a headless fly, circling around the ancestral hall.

From the very beginning he had never thought that Shen Jinmo would kill so many people with his own hands in public, and he had never expected that Shen Jinmo would eventually fight with Shen Jun and Xia Xin.

But he didn't expect that it was actually useless.

There was no way Mo Ping could stop Shen Jinmo from doing what he wanted to do.

After all, there is only one Xie Nanxing in this world.

With a heavy expression, Mo An walked silently from the darkness to Mo Ping's side, patted Mo Ping's shoulder with one hand, and the two went to a more secluded place.

"What do the two masters say?"

"I'm really heartbroken today. Several groups of doctors have come to the palace just now. The eldest princess is lying in bed unconscious, and the marquis has been frowning until now." Mo An was also very busy, and it was only at this time that he was able to meet Mo Ping.

"When the master was poisoned and fell into a coma, and was forced to give up the throne, neither of the two masters felt this sad."

"Alas." Mo Ping knew it, but his current master was Shen Jinmo: "Can you let me in to take a look at the prince?"

Mo Ping looked for many people he knew in the past. No matter how good their relationship was in the past, no one dared to lose face for Mo Ping at this juncture.

Mo An was unsure, but he couldn't bear to see Mo Ping so anxious: "What's wrong with the prince? Why did he do such a fatal thing without even trying to cover it up?"

"It's not sudden. This mansion has been slandering the young master for more than half a year. The words that His Royal Highness heard with his own ears today were simply unbearable to hear."

Mo Ping didn't dare to repeat those words.

Those who dare to criticize their master should be beaten to death.

But Shen Jinmo has affected too many people today.

Without verifying anything, he just let his temper and beat most of the servants in the princess's mansion. The eldest princess has always been fair and strict in running the household, so she must give an explanation for this matter.

Mo An and Mo Ping looked at each other solemnly. They had followed Xia Xin and Shen Jun through the swordplay for so many years, and they immediately realized that such abnormal behavior was not as obvious as it seemed.

Seeing that Mo An was still hesitating, Mo Ping approached Mo An, put his lips against Mo An's, and kissed him passionately for a long time.

"I want to go in and see the prince, can I?"
