The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

Xie Jin raised his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but it didn't reach his eyes: "Master Shi, there is no need to be polite, come and sit for a while?"

"Thank you, Fourth Prince."

Unable to figure out what the Fourth Prince was thinking for a moment, Shi Weian suppressed his doubts, walked towards the Fourth Prince calmly and sat down opposite him.

Xie Jin tilted his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and gave Wen Kang a look.

Wen Kang understood immediately, came over, picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Shi Weian.

Then, Wen Kang stood by quietly again.

Looking down at the wine glass in front of him, a faint aroma of wine wafted over, Shi Wei'an's eyes gradually deepened, and a smile appeared on his face: "This is the best peach blossom wine, I didn't expect that the fourth prince also likes to drink it."

Although he praised the peach blossom wine, Shi Weian was always cautious and didn't dare to actually pick up the glass and drink it.

Xie Jin pretended not to have guessed Shi Weian's thoughts. He picked up the wine glass, lowered his head and took a sip, and said slowly: "I can't say I love drinking, but in this Yuelai Inn, only this peach blossom wine is barely drinkable."

"how?"

As he spoke, Xie Jin stared at Shi Wei'an with a half-smile, his slender fingers slightly bent, tapping the table lightly, "Master Shi doesn't dare to drink, are you afraid that this prince has poisoned the wine?"

Shi Wei'an: "..."

Shi Wei'an's face froze. He didn't expect the Fourth Prince to speak so bluntly. He pulled the corners of his lips and tried to keep a smile on his face: "Fourth Prince, you are joking. I have never had any grudges against you. How could you poison the wine?"

Having said that, Shi Wei'an could only bite the bullet and took a sip of the wine. As soon as the wine entered his throat, he couldn't wait to put the glass on the table and clapped his hands, "Peach Blossom Wine is indeed a good wine."

Seeing this, Xie Jin glanced at him meaningfully, then slowly looked away.

Shi Wei'an: "..."

For some reason, he always felt that the Fourth Prince was no ordinary person.

"I heard that Lord Shi came to Suzhou specially to attend the wedding of the Li family. I wonder..."

"Fourth Prince."

Before Xie Jin could finish his words, Shi Weian suddenly interrupted him. He remembered what Lord Jia had said to him before. He wondered if the Fourth Prince still bore a grudge against Li Youbin for riding his horse in the street.

"When I first arrived in Suzhou, I heard that Li Youbin, the young master of the Li family, accidentally injured the Fourth Prince while riding his horse in the street. I wonder how the Fourth Prince's injury is now?"

"If the Fourth Prince is still not satisfied, I will seek justice from the Li family on his behalf!"

Shi Weian deliberately brought up this matter, firstly to resolve the previous conflict between the Fourth Prince and the Li family, and secondly to test the Fourth Prince's temper.

Wen Kang, who was standing aside, frowned when he heard this and looked at his master calmly.

When has the master ever been injured by someone else riding a horse?

"Heh... seek justice for this prince?"

Xie Jin smiled.

He had just entered the city today and had never seen the young master of the Li family, let alone been injured. Why should he seek justice?

However, Xie Jin would not say it so bluntly. He already had a guess in his mind that someone must have used his name to do something outside -

Maybe it’s his good second brother!

Thinking of this, Xie Jin's eyes darkened slightly, and he asked, "Where did Lord Shi hear this from?"

Shi Wei'an didn't know what the Fourth Prince was thinking, so he said, "This matter was told to me by Lord Jia, the governor of Suzhou."

"It was Lord Jia who judged the case that day and punished the young master of the Li family with thirty strokes of the cane. I think that thirty strokes of the cane is too light a punishment. Anyone who dares to offend the Fourth Prince should be punished with a hundred strokes of the cane and thrown into prison to reflect on his mistakes..."

Shi Weian said righteously.

Xie Jin: "If I remember correctly, didn't Lord Shi come to Suzhou this time to congratulate Young Master Li? If you want to put Young Master Li in jail, there will be no wedding banquet."

Shi Weian wished there wasn't such a wedding banquet.

It was because he went to Li's house that his Qiuqiu was abducted by criminals and her whereabouts are still unknown!

Thinking about it now, Shi Weian feels extremely unlucky!

Shi Wei'an said sincerely, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince is wrong. Young Master Li has offended you, and this is what he should bear."

"Hahaha"

Xie Jin suddenly laughed out loud, and his sharp eyes fell on Shi Weian, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.

Shi Weian stood up straight with a calm expression, as if he was unaware of the Fourth Prince's scrutiny of him.

There was silence in the room and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Wen Kang held the sword and stared at Shi Weian intently.

After a long while, Xie Jin's voice was heard: "There is no need for Lord Shi to seek justice."

"After all, it wasn't this prince that Young Master Li offended."

Shi Weian was stunned, his mind racing with thoughts: What exactly did the Fourth Prince mean by this?

Could it be that Lord Jia had deceived him?

When he thought of this possibility, Shi Weian's face suddenly darkened. Was that Jia guy trying to make a fool of him?

Shi Wei'an said calmly, "I wonder why the Fourth Prince would say that?"

"Ah……"

Xie Jin chuckled and did not answer his question, but talked about something else: "Sir Shi, how about cooperating with this prince?"

"cooperate?"

Shi Wei'an's eyes narrowed, and he continued, following the Fourth Prince's words, "Please explain in detail, Fourth Prince. I am a little confused."

Xie Jin picked up the wine glass, shook it slightly, and said slowly: "Master Shi must not know that my second brother, the Crown Prince, has also come to Suzhou, right?"

"Perhaps the person Young Master Li offended that day was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Only my second brother dared to use his name to do things outside.

Apart from the identity token, the only thing that could symbolize his status as a royal child was a jade pendant with a dragon pattern, and his jade pendant with a dragon pattern was in the hands of his second brother.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!??"

Upon hearing the news, Shi Wei'an was stunned for a moment, as if he had been struck by lightning. He stared at the Fourth Prince with his eyes wide open in disbelief, and even his voice changed: "Fourth Prince, is this true?"

In Shi Weian's opinion, the Fourth Prince's visit to Suzhou might not be for him, but if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in person, that would be different.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming, it must be on the emperor's order!

Shi Wei'an quickly calmed down. Suddenly, he thought again, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are brothers from the same mother, so how could the Fourth Prince...

"Master Shi, is there any need for this prince to lie to you?"

Xie Jin could guess what Shi Weian was thinking.

He and his second brother are indeed brothers from the same mother, but so what?

He is ambitious and wants to be emperor.

Since his second brother is determined to occupy the position of crown prince, he has no choice but to do it himself!

"To show my sincerity, I can tell you more important news."

Shi Wei'an relaxed his expression and decided to listen to what the Fourth Prince wanted to say first: "Fourth Prince, please speak."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here to investigate the bribery of officials in Jiangnan. He came to Suzhou and hid in the dark on purpose, just to collect evidence and catch all of you corrupt officials who don't do anything..."

Xie Jin said slowly: "It's fair to say that Lord Shi knows whether he is involved or not."

Listening to the Fourth Prince's detailed explanation, Shi Weian immediately knew what he should do. "It seems that the Fourth Prince also wants to bring that person down. Otherwise, I believe that the Fourth Prince would not have said so much to me."

Xie Jin sneered: "Master Shi, that position should be occupied by the most capable. This prince does not think that I am much worse than him."

"The Fourth Prince is right."

Shi Wei'an suddenly stood up, took a small step back, leaned slightly towards the Fourth Prince, and said seriously: "If the Fourth Prince can use me, I will definitely not refuse."

Xie Jin was very satisfied with Shi Weian's understanding: "Don't worry, Lord Shi. With this prince here, I'm sure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't find out anything."

Even if he wants to make a contribution, he should be allowed to do it.

"Come, Master Shi."

Xie Jin personally poured wine for Shi Weian and raised his hand to signal, "It's a rare opportunity for us to meet today. Sir Shi should drink a few more glasses with me."

Shi Wei'an smiled and bowed his head again: "Then I will respectfully obey your command."

The two reached a cooperation, determined to bring down His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and profit from it.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself was not aware of it at all.

At midnight that night, there was a knock on the back door of Luoyang Inn.

Liu An, who was in charge of the night watch, jumped down from the tree. Liu An walked over, opened the gate, and when he looked down, he saw a round little bald head.

Liu An's eyes instantly showed a defensive look. He tightly grasped the long sword in his hand and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you? Why are you knocking on the door here?"

"Donor, my name is Sikong. May I ask if you are here, Mr. Meng Huaijun?"

Facing the visitor's cold face, Sikong felt a little scared, but remembering the abbot's instructions, he still forced himself to remain calm and told him the purpose of his visit.

"Looking for Master Meng?"

Liu An reacted instantly: "Are you the little monk from Chang'an Temple outside the city?"

Sikong: “…Yes.”

Liu An put away the defensive look in his eyes, stepped aside and made way for the little monk: "Okay, you come in first."

Sikong clasped his hands together and bowed his head: "Thank you, benefactor."

"No need to say thank you."

After the little monk came in, Liu An closed the gate.

"Come with me."

Liu An led the way and walked towards Meng Huaijun's room.

Sikong followed behind him, not daring to look around.

It was already midnight and Meng Huaijun had gone to bed long ago, but Liu An knocked on his door and woke Meng Huaijun up again.

With a creak, the door was opened from the inside.

Meng Huaijun came out wearing his coat and was about to ask, but when he looked up, he saw Sikong following behind Liu An. Meng Huaijun was slightly stunned and subconsciously called out, "Master Sikong?"

Sikong put his hands together and bowed his head, saying, "Donor Meng, it is me, the humble monk."

Meng Huaijun looked up at the sky, which was still pitch black. He frowned slightly and asked, "Why did Master Sikong come here at this hour?"

"Wasn't the city gate closed long ago? How did you get into the city?"

Sikong explained: "I entered the city at 15:30 in the evening, and first went to Huichun Hall to get medicine for the abbot. After that, I worked as a helper in a wine shop and earned a few copper coins before coming here."

Meng Huaijun: "..."

Which tavern would even employ monks?

Only then did Meng Huaijun notice that Master Sikong was holding a medicine bag in his hand.

"Now that the city gates are closed, why don't you stay here for a night, young master?"

Sikong thought about it, nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Meng."

"One more thing."

Sikong lowered his head, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and handed it to Meng Huaijun, "This is what the abbot asked me to bring to you, Mr. Meng."

"Thank you, Master."

When it fell into Meng Huaijun's hands, the thing was still warm. It seemed that Master Sikong had kept it in his arms.

Meng Huaijun raised his eyes to look at Liu An, and said in a gentle tone: "Please, Master Liu An, find a room for Master Sikong to rest for one night."

Liu An: "Okay, come with me."

There are a master and a lady in the backyard, so the little monk cannot live here.

Liu An took Sikong out of the backyard and walked towards the lobby of the inn.

Only after he could no longer see the two people's backs did Meng Huaijun turn around and go back to the room.

When he opened the cloth bag, the first thing that caught Meng Huaijun's eye was a large stack of letters.

The covers of these letters are a bit old and show signs of time.

Meng Huaijun reacted instantly. He quickly opened the letter on top. The signature at the beginning was Jiang Pei'an!

After just a glance, Meng Huaijun put the letter back into the envelope without finishing reading it.

He then packed all the letters in a cloth bag and placed them on his bed.

These things are very important. He can only hand the letters to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he wakes up tomorrow.

There is only one night left, so there can be no mistakes!

In fact, Xie Xi's room and Meng Huaijun's room are not far from each other.

When Master Sikong entered the backyard, Xie Xi had already noticed it.

Xie Xi originally planned to get up.

But tonight he slept in the same bed with Lu Xiaoxiao. If he moved a little, she would cling to him again in a daze. Even when she was asleep, she was restless and clung to Xie Xi tightly, as if she didn't want him to leave.

Xie Xi had no choice but to follow her wishes and stay by her side.

the other side.

Liu An did not alarm anyone in the inn and took Master Sikong to the room on the third floor without permission.

That guest room was originally booked by the master and his wife, but they now live in the backyard and have not come here.

Liu An opened the door and raised his chin towards Si Kong, indicating: "You will stay here tonight. If you need anything, just tell me."

Sikong walked in. Suddenly, he turned around and bowed to Liu An: "Thank you for your arrangement, benefactor. I have nothing else..."

"Cuckoo"

Sikong: “…”

He had not had dinner since entering the city, and he was very hungry, so his stomach started to rumble.

An embarrassed look appeared on Sikong's face. He raised his hand and touched the back of his bald head, not daring to look up at Liu An.

Liu An suppressed his laughter and said, "Wait here for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything else to eat."

Having said that, Liu An turned and left.

Sikong stood where he was and thanked him immediately: "Thank you, benefactor."
