"Why are you here? Who told you to come here?" Before Li Zhiyuan could speak, Xie Xuan thought of reproaching him first.

"You came to the gambling house alone, and now you're still pissing me off?" Li Zhiyuan had prepared a bunch of words to reprimand Xie Xuan, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to be blamed, and he was a little dazed at the moment.

"I told you that it's business tonight, so why don't you go back to Li's mansion, what are you doing here? How do you know I'm here?" Xie Xuan's face was dark, not angry, but a little scared.He dared to come out alone today because he was sure of his face, and he had already explained to Anzi around him before, everything was in his calculations, but he was a little scared when there was an extra Li Zhiyuan, after all, Li Zhiyuan I don't know anything about it, and it's not an ordinary court affair.

"Xie Xuan, are you reasonable? You said that you came to the gambling house for business? You said just now that you had a dinner date with Brother Li tonight. What happened? You lied to me in front of me. How did I do it before?" Didn’t realize that you are such a person? It’s not that you said let me listen to your explanation, but you stopped after two steps. If you don’t chase me, then I can only chase you and ask you to explain to me. Who knows you The car actually drove to the casino? I was afraid that you had official business, so I didn't dare to go in with you. I was afraid of causing trouble for you, so I followed the carriage all the way here, so I let my car go back to Li's mansion to bring a message to my father. I got into your car and waited for you. You're fine. When I got out of the car, I got angry indiscriminately. Just like that, you still say you like me?" Li Zhiyuan was very angry, and said to the driver outside: "Stop, stop!"

Xie Xuan realized that he lost his composure first, grabbed Li Zhiyuan who was about to jump out, and said to the outside: "Don't listen to him, keep going."

Xie Xuan asked Li Zhiyuan to look at him, Li Zhiyuan turned his face and turned his back to him. Seeing this, Xie Xuan simply got up, bowed and squatted in front of Li Zhiyuan. "Xiaoyuan don't get angry, okay? I lied to you today. It was my fault. I came to the gambling house because of business. I didn't explain the schedule to you in detail yesterday because it was complicated. Xiaoyuan, don't you?" I know, Chaozhong has not been peaceful recently, you, Brother Li, and I have already been busy with the first two big ones, and we are going step by step, including going to the gambling house alone tonight, all of which are in my plan, but you I didn't expect her to appear, if my negligence caused you any harm, what would you ask me to do?"

Li Zhiyuan saw that the sincerity of what he said did not seem to be fake, so he just asked him: "What are you doing these days? Said, can you make it in another place? Even if you enter the Sixth Ministry, it is better to be a servant than to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

"The emperor's order is added, and the holy will is hard to violate. Xiaoyuan, what my brother is doing now is indeed not safe, but I don't want you to know, so I will hide it from you, but this does not conflict with my liking for you, because it is too I like it, so I want to protect you well, and I don't want you to be an accident in my calculations, do you know?" Xie Xuan felt relieved when he saw that he could listen, and asked him again: "Didn't you say you want to think about it? What's wrong with Cheng? Are you worried about me so much, have you figured it out?"

Li Zhiyuan was in a daze, and said: "Who, who figured it out? I haven't started thinking about it yet."

"So, what's wrong with you?"

"I, I don't know. You have always been my brother. I have treated you like a brother for eight years. You are my relatives. But you suddenly said that you like it, and I am at a loss. I like this thing only from the picture book I've seen it, I've heard it from storytellers, and what they talk about is men and women, and you and I are all men. Even though I had the style of a man's wife when the country was founded, it's still not now, and being a man's wife now always feels He is an incompetent person with no ambitions in his chest. The most important thing is, brother, you said you like me, but I really don’t know if I like you. I want to go back to my house and think about it, but I’m afraid that you will think too much about it, and I’m afraid that you will never again because of it. He admits me as a younger brother, so he has been procrastinating." Li Zhiyuan finally said what he had been procrastinating for two days, and he felt a lot lighter in his heart.

Xie Xuan looked at Li Zhiyuan's tangled expression, and felt distressed immediately. He thought that he would change his heart if he missed out on all his calculations.It's like under his calculations, Mrs. Li accepted him and treated him like her own son; Lu Tan found him and confidated with him; It is also reasonable for my brother, but if this is the case, what can he do?He can no longer keep people by his side through calculations.After thinking for a while, Xie Xuan lifted the curtain of the car and said to the outside: "Go to Li's Mansion." When he came back, he said to Li Zhiyuan: "Don't worry, brother has been waiting for you to grow up, now you finally have your own Thoughts, no matter what it is, my brother is still your brother. If you want to go back to live, then go back and live for a few days."

Xie Xuan sent Li Zhiyuan back to Xie's Mansion, but declined Li Heng's proposal to let him stay, saying that he was busy and went back to Xie's Mansion alone, and his heart was always empty.Seeing that Xie Xuan returned to the mansion, Anzi came in to report, saying that as soon as Xie Xuan left, the manager immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Prince Yi's mansion, so it seems that the person who is talking about the gambling house now is King Yi, not the family of the so-called concubine If this is the case, it is also intentional that King Yi did not show up for the first few declines that Li Yong said.After all, too much limelight is prone to premature aging, and dropping to fourth place like this makes people feel less thoughtful.However, it is clearly the property of Yi Wang, but when the confession was made, it was said that it belonged to the second prince, which is enough to show the close relationship between the two, but what Xie Xuan couldn't figure out was why?What kind of connection can there be between the two? If it is said that they want to usurp the throne, why is it the collusion of these two people?

After a few days of peace and calm, Li Zhiyuan disappeared in the mansion, Xie Xuan spent almost every day in Dali Temple, leaving early and returning late, and even stayed directly in Dali Temple for two nights, even Li Yong couldn't see it.

"The case can't be finished in one day. Why are you working so hard? You have found too many things in the past few days since you came here. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my position as Dali Temple Minister. Why didn't your brother come today? Looking for you, didn't you stick to each other every day?"

"He went home. Children always have their own ideas when they grow up. I am also alone when I go back to the mansion. Unlike Brother Li, who can have a thought, it doesn't make much difference whether he goes back or not. Besides, this case is getting more and more serious. The more complicated it is, the courtiers will have to give an explanation to the Holy Majesty and live up to the emperor's kindness." Xie Xuan said.

"What a living up to the emperor's grace!" Suddenly someone came from outside, but no one in the front yard informed them. When the two looked up, they found that it was Jing Wenhao who quickly knelt down to greet the emperor.

"Excuse me. I came here today to check on the progress. By the way, I will take a look at the people left behind by my emperor brother. Xie Xuan, I will remember what you said just now. I have really worked hard for you these days, but fortunately, I have you to handle the case." The progress is much faster. This case is indeed tricky, but don't worry, once the limelight is over, I will reward you a lot!" Jing Wenhao looked at Xie Xuan, very satisfied, "I heard that you went to the gambling house yesterday, It's not a good place where dragons and snakes mingle. If you want to go there, you must arrange it properly so as not to show your feet and scare the snake. But you should be rewarded for finding out the underground bank, and I will write it down for you."

The emperor's grand ceremony was approaching, and within a few days it was heard that the third prince had entered the capital.Now that he is the king of a county, he can no longer live in the palace, but after entering the palace to meet the emperor, he lives in the posthouse in Kyoto where the king sees.The third prince did not bring many people with him when he came to Beijing this time, but Jing Wenhao said that he sent twice as many people there for his safety.If there was any coincidence, it would be that Xie Xuan was assassinated the night the third prince entered the capital.

At that time Xie Xuan was still with Li Yong and was dealing with official business in Dali Temple, when the teapot on the table was empty, Xie Xuan sent someone to pour a pot of hot tea over.I saw the man bumping over with the pot and didn't put it on the tea stand, but poured it over to Xie Xuan.The pot of hot water only wet Xie Xuan's clothes, because he was pulled away by Li Yong.Seeing Li Yong, the assailant did not run away in a hurry, but drew a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed straight at Xie Xuan. Before the two could react, Xie Xuan's right arm was already stabbed. Cry out in pain.It's strange to say that the assassin who was full of ambition a moment ago, after stabbing Li Yong with the knife, was defeated in two or three strokes, and was about to escape, but in the end Li Yong caught him very easily.

In the interrogation room of Dali Temple, Li Yong and Xie Xuan sat on the side, interrogating the newly captured prisoner.The two thought that there would be a good interrogation, but who knew that the person who came was not firm in his will, so he confessed in a few moments, and it was sent by the third prince.The confession is written, the fingerprints are pressed, and the case is considered closed as soon as the prisoner is taken into custody.Li Yong was worried, so he gave up riding the horse for the first time, sat in Xie Xuan's carriage, and sent him back.

"I'm afraid your hands are inconvenient these few days. Fortunately, you live with Li Zhiyuan, and it will be more comfortable to have him take care of you."

Xie Xuan said with a smile: "Unfortunately, he has returned to Li's residence these few days."

"Why don't you go back to my house?" Li Yong suggested.

"It's okay, it's just a small injury, it doesn't hurt." Xie Xuan raised his hand, the injury on his arm was treated by Li Yong just now. "However, brother Li, do you have any opinions on what happened tonight?"

"If you want to kill you, you will definitely not let only one person come, let alone do it when I am with you. From your house to the three miles of Dali Temple, where is it better to do it than in Dali Temple? Besides, that level of skill , It’s rude to come out and be a killer.”

"I don't know what Brother Li thinks so?"

"Maybe it's because the news that the emperor let out a few days ago played a role, making people want to blame him. Anyway, this matter should not be the third prince. It's ridiculous to do such a thing when he first entered the imperial city."

"What brother Li said is exactly what I think in my heart, I'm afraid someone will be pushed into a hurry."
