If you don't go to the house, you are not a gentleman

An Le slowly twisted a chess piece, and slowly placed it on Tianyuan.

Mei Wuyin put her white stones beside the black ones without changing her face.

An Le paused.

"What's the purpose?"

Mei Wuyin said: "No intention, just tired of watching you always take the first step to go to Tianyuan, and I'm also tired of clicking three threes every time."

An Le raised his eyebrows, picked up another sunspot, and hung it on the chessboard.

The corner of his mouth curled up, his smile was very bright, "Master, don't even try to beat me this time!"

Mei Wuyin smoothed his white hair slowly, and said casually: "Oh, is that so?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the chess piece in An Le's hand hit the chessboard, making a crisp sound.

"What's the bet this time?" Mei Wuyin swept the chessboard and picked up a piece.

An Le rolled his eyes, "How about going out of the mountain?"

Mei Wuyin paused, a strange look appeared on that face that had gone through the years but was still not old, "Going out of the mountain?"

An Le smiled calmly.

Mei Wuyin threw away the chess piece in her hand, embraced her arms, turned her head and curled her lips and said, "I knew it, I knew it! You must come to me for something when you come back!"

An Le smiled innocently, and patiently picked up the chess piece that was thrown at random, and rearranged the messed up chess pieces.

Mei Wuyin was no longer in the mood to play chess, he stood up with a flick of his sleeves, his thin figure turned his back to An Le, the voice sounded ethereal and free, but it was haunted by a heavy sigh——

"I have sworn to stop meddling in Jiangshan's affairs."

With a restrained smile, An Le said seriously: "Master, this time it's not just about Jiangshan."

Mei Wuyin still had that indifferent look, "So what?"

An Le pursed her lips, her eyes darkened, but she remained firm.

Mei Wuyin sighed and said, "You have your persistence, so I naturally have mine."

"..." The two were silent, and the game of chess ended without a problem.

……

"Anle, do you drink tea?" The little boy came running over with good tea very attentively.

An Le sat on the cold stone chair, didn't even glance at the cup of tea, he said in a muffled voice, "Thanks, let's put it aside."

The little boy curled his lips and said, "The tea won't taste good when it's cold."

An Le blinked, remembering the cup of plum blossom tea that was rejected. He still kept one of the plum blossoms that were originally used to make tea, but it had withered on the way to Mei Xueling.

"Who said that the real flavor can only be tasted when the tea is cold."

The little boy disagreed, "That way the tea will be very bitter."

An Le smiled and looked at the little boy.

"Bitter? Of course. Whether it's warm or cold, isn't the final taste bitter?"

The little boy seemed to understand An Le's words.

He asked, "Anle, what are you tasting?"

An Le replied blankly——

"Huanglian."

The little boy couldn't help but frowned, "Coptis chinensis is so bitter, what's so good about it?"

An Le suddenly smiled again, as if he was still the frivolous boy in Mei Xueling back then.

"Because I'm waiting for it to turn into honey."

Xiao Tong looked up at An Le with his big watery eyes, and suddenly laughed, "If only I could become like you in the future."

For a moment, An Le was in a trance, as if he saw himself looking up at Mei Wuyin back then, so yearning, so envious.

An Le patted the boy on the head hard.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Tong pouted, clapped An Le's hand away, put away the tea and ran away.

At night, two more.

An Le sat on the roof of her attic with a half-drunk jar of wine in hand.

The scent of wine is scattered in the air, mixed with the fragrance of plum blossoms, so intoxicating.

Mei Wuyin had already stood in front of the attic at some point, looking up at An Le's half-stretched calf, he yelled viciously, "What did you say to my doorman!"

It took An Le a long while to retract her calf, revealing half of her head, and her eyes, which were always shining with slyness, became clearer and clearer due to the smell of alcohol.

"Did I say anything?"

Mei Wuyin exclaimed angrily: "That little guy has been circling my legs, asking me for Coptis chinensis!"

An Le blinked, "What does that have to do with me?"

"He said, you told him that Coptis chinensis can be turned into honey one day."

An Le thought about it for a while, and said awkwardly: "...There is indeed such a thing. Then?"

"He ate it."

"..."

Mei Wuyin flew forward, lightly stepped on the cornice and landed beside Anle, grabbing Anle's hair.

"If his taste buds are broken, cut off your tongue and give it to him!"

An Le grinned in pain, but couldn't help teasing: "Being so kind to that boy, you are in love with him, right? How old is he?"

Mei Wuyin raised her eyebrows and smiled wickedly, pulling off a small strand of hair with a strong hand.

An Le wailed, and with a sweep of his calf, he swept down his precious half jar of wine.

Snapped--

An Le heard the sound of the wine jar breaking, followed by the sound of heartbreaking.

An Le lay on the eaves, staring blankly at the debris on the ground, smelling the strong aroma of wine in the air.

Mei Wuyin didn't know where she had gone.

An Le stayed for a while, then let out a long sigh, and lay down on the eaves again, the moonlight was a bit dazzling.

"Forget it, just take it as it is, sacrifice to heaven and earth."

……

Fan Xi listened to Mo Xinwang's words with a serious expression, and his expression didn't improve until he got into the carriage.

When he returned to the mansion, his complexion was even more ugly, as if it was covered with dark clouds.

Emei was forced to kneel on the cold ground, and the study, dormitory, nave, and even the kitchen were all searched.All his servants were trembling with fear.

Fan Xi suppressed his anger, and asked the group of eunuchs and guards who were confident, "What are you doing!"

A eunuch was obviously their leader, and he said arrogantly: "Your Highness's suspicion has not been completely cleared, so I am here to search."

Fan Xi naturally understood in her heart that these were all bullshit, and those who needed to be searched had already been searched, so what else was there to collect——

Fan Xi's face suddenly changed, those tea sets he placed in the study!

He didn't pay much attention to those things of Anle, he just put them carelessly on the table, but he didn't expect that someone would come to search them afterwards!

Then he soon knew that he had guessed right. The eunuch smiled very proudly, holding the teapot with the engraved words in his hand.

"..." Fan Xi was at a loss for words.

The eunuch triumphantly ordered: "Take them all back."

Fan Xi said in a low voice: "Take the things away and let go of my servants!"

The eunuch waved his hand indifferently.

Emei finally got up from the ground.

The eunuch led the group of people, and stepped out from the main entrance carelessly.

Emei looked at her master worriedly.

Fan Xi's face was clouded, and he suddenly understood the meaning of An Le's poem.

No wonder it is so difficult to understand, no wonder it is so full of what Mo Xinwang calls "provocation", no wonder he has to fall out with himself before his execution.

He just expected the current situation!

Every penny is for clearing myself of all suspicions!

One must know that if a prince gets involved in such a suspicion, he will definitely be cast aside, and there is no possibility of turning over. What's more, the current situation is precarious. The position of the prince is unstable, and so is the throne. It is the time when the princes are fighting fiercely.

Fan Xi clenched his fists involuntarily.

How many lies like this did An Le tell?

If so, the words that hurt his heart are all such lies... Fan Xi suddenly feels that life is still very beautiful.

Emei looked at Fan Xi speechlessly and gradually revealed a strange smile.

"..."

It's over, it's over, her master is crazy...
