Qin Yao and Qin Wenxian also came out, Qin Hong was going to chase the man, but his feet were sloppy after drinking, Qin Yao grabbed him, "Forget it, Dad, we are in a good mood today, don't pay attention to this little thief .”

Qin Hong: "Forget it, listen to my daughter."

When he woke up the next day, Qin Wenxian's head hurt a little. He drank the hangover soup that his mother asked Rongfei to send, which relieved a lot.

Before Qin Wenxian went out, Qin Yao asked, "Son, are you coming back for dinner tonight? What do you want to eat?"

Qin Wenxian: "I have some things to deal with today. If it's late, I'll rest in Maoyuan and come back tomorrow."

Qin Yao: "Then when you're done with your work, don't forget to eat. I haven't been free and haven't visited that haunted house you bought yet."

Qin Wenxian smiled, "What haunted house? Since when did mother become superstitious? Your brothers from the beggar gang are inconvenient to come to the Duke Huguo's mansion, and they often go there to find me. You are back now, and when you have time, you can also talk to Uncle Zhuang Hai and the others." Get together."

He went to the yamen of Dali Temple to handle official business in the morning, Fang Qing and all his colleagues came to congratulate him, the imperial concubine was happy to have a son.

Xiao Desheng also smiled and said: "Qin Shaoqing, the Qin family is so beautiful now, staying in Dali Temple is not too wronged for you?"

Qin Wenxian pretended not to understand his sarcasm, and smiled, "How could it be? Everyone knows that I am not interested in anything other than investigating cases."

In the afternoon, Qin Wenxian asked Rong Fei to stay at the yamen, took the opportunity to sneak out, and went to Yuxiang Restaurant.

Yiwang's restaurant looks very smoky, with customers coming in like a cloud every day. The first floor is the lobby, and the second and third floors are private rooms.But no one noticed that the stairs from the second floor to the third floor were extremely high.

If it hadn't been mentioned, Qin Wenxian would not have noticed the strangeness. It turns out that there is a secret mezzanine between the stairs on the second and third floors, which is the secret room specially built by King Yi.

That day Rong Fei came here to guard the children who sang nursery rhymes, and caught Xie Huaili who taught them to sing nursery rhymes, and was locked in a secret room here.

Shopkeeper Luo of the restaurant had already been informed by King Yi. As soon as Qin Wenxian came, he led him to the stairwell between the second and third floors, opened the invisible door on the wall, and entered the secret room.

The secret room had no windows, and the walls were lit with wall lamps. Qin Wenxian entered the inner room and saw Zheng Lixiao and Xie Huaili sitting at the table drinking tea.

If they didn't know it, they would think they were the same from a distance. When Empress Xie was still there, Xie Huaili and Tang Linghao often played with Zheng Lixiao, brothels, music workshops, restaurants and theaters. They played together for many years.

When Qin Wenxian saw them in Chunyu Tower back then, he could still vividly remember Tang Linghao was the most domineering, Zheng Lixiao was the most flamboyant, and Xie Huaili was the most gentle.

But now that Tang Linghao is gone, the current Xie Huaili is not the original Xie Huaili.

The gentleness of a nobleman in him was gone. He obviously hadn't slept well for a long time, and he looked haggard. He looked at Zheng Lixiao with cold eyes, as if looking at a stranger.

When he saw Qin Wenxian coming in, he showed a mocking smile, "Sure enough, you guys have hooked up a long time ago, right?"

"Uh..." Qin Wenxian raised his index finger and rubbed his eyebrows. He didn't want to talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "I just wanted to ask you why people sang that nursery rhyme. I know that the Xie family is like this. It's uncomfortable. But my father has no grievances with you, why did you harm him?"

"Don't be joking, anyone who doesn't support my elder brother is an enemy, how can there be no enmity?"

Xie Huaili sneered and took a sip of tea, "Don't think that the Xie family is really doomed, you don't understand the current situation at all, I believe the prince brother will win in the end. As long as he wins, the Xie family will win."

Zheng Lixiao waved his fan and raised the corners of his mouth, "I admire the crown prince for so many years pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but there are no absolutes in the world, and you have been arrested now, why do you think the crown prince will definitely win?

Is it because of the conspiracy behind him?Frame the Jinhu Army Captain?Design a new champion?This king finds it very strange, why are you willing to risk your life to help the prince even though it is difficult for you to protect yourself? "

Xie Huaili's eyes were gloomy, and he was silent for a moment, "I'm not afraid of death, even if you kill me, the prince brother will definitely avenge me in the future."

Zheng Lixiao smiled, with a very tolerant look, "We have known each other for so many years, and we are considered friends, how could I kill you?"

Xie Huaili snorted coldly, "Oh, don't pretend, don't you also want to seize the heir? Your Royal Highness, for so many years, your acting skills are better than the prince's brother, but it is a pity that your background is limited. Now this Sub-qualification and prestige, I am afraid that no one believes that you have the talent to become emperor, so you should stop wishful thinking."

Qin Wenxian felt harsh when he heard these words, and looked at Zheng Lixiao, but the man just lowered his eyes slightly and bent the corners of his lips, "Uncle Guo, we have been together for these years, and today I finally heard your heartfelt voice. It's hard for you to act with me. However, next, I have to wrong you to live here for a while."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Qin Wenxian out and asked two hidden guards to watch over Xie Huaili.When the two left the secret room, Qin Wenxian observed Zheng Lixiao's expression, his footsteps were unrestrained, but his eyes couldn't hide the coldness, it was obvious that under his smiling face, he was not without sadness.

So when Zheng Lixiao asked him to drink in the private room on the second floor, Qin Wenxian did not refuse.

Zheng Lixiao poured himself a glass, drank it all, and poured another glass of wine, "Oh, there are some things that you know in your heart, but hearing others say it with your own ears is a different feeling."

Seeing him slump his shoulders, with a self-deprecating look on his face, Qin Wenxian felt uncomfortable, and reached out to hold his wine glass, "I thought His Highness King Yi never cared what others thought of him, regardless of whether others misunderstood you or not. Whether you despise you or not, you don't care, because you are tough, unlike those who are influenced by public opinion."

Zheng Lixiao raised his eyes, stared at him for a long time, moved his hand holding the wine glass to rest on the back of his hand, "I like to hear that, that kid Xie Huaili is blind, it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, as long as you understand."

Fingers caressing the back of his hand, Zheng Lixiao raised the corners of his lips, and a smile was conveyed in his eyes, shining brightly, which looked very different from his usual fake smile, "It is my greatest blessing that you are willing to stand by my side. "

Qin Wenxian pulled out his hand, "Okay, Your Highness should spend more time on business. Now that Lu Jianwen is missing, I'm afraid there will be many changes. You have to deal with the Yuan family's affairs as soon as possible."

Zheng Lixiao's hand was empty, and he rubbed his fingers lightly, feeling the temperature just touched, "My king went to the palace yesterday to see your nephew, my younger brother, and I took this opportunity to meet King Ning. King Ning has already sent someone to transfer Yuan's family We have arrived at his Begonia Villa in the suburbs of Beijing, and I reminded him to find the right time to tell Father."

Qin Wenxian frowned slightly, "Right now is not the time yet."

Zheng Lixiao: "That's right, now that my father is happy with Lin'er, I'm in a good mood. It's not the time to talk about this. My father rewarded your concubine Hui, not only in a good mood, but also to check and balance King Ning and Concubine Li.

The most important thing at present is that there is still a lack of direct evidence to accuse the prince of framing King Ning.The existence of the Yuan family is just proof that someone has framed Yu Zifei, Lieutenant of the Jinhu Army. His father has always hated forming cliques for personal gain, and King Ning's coming forward to protect his cousin will do him no good. "

"I will watch Xiao Desheng in Dali Temple and try to find evidence that he is doing things for the prince. Besides Xiao Desheng, I think the most important thing is that Lu Jianwen. Why did he react so quickly and be caught by King Ning's people?" Did he run away before?"

Qin Wenxian rubbed his eyebrows, and looked out of the window.

Upstairs across the street, there is a slender figure of a woman, and her straight and cold gaze can be felt across a street.

Qin Wenxian's heart tightened, and he immediately looked over. The woman had a slim figure, looked mature and beautiful, and had a very cold demeanor.Very familiar, it seems to be Mei Xue, the right protector next to Jiang Weilai?

Qin Wenxian recalled the peeping man in black who appeared in the Duke Protector's Mansion last night, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. He immediately stood up, "His Royal Highness, I'm in a hurry, let's go first!"

Qin Wenxian left Yuxiang Restaurant and chased across the street, but Mei Xue used lightness kung fu to fly over the walls in the evening sun.

Her qinggong also came from Wujimen. Although her speed was not as fast as Jiang Future's, she was still the best among Jianghu warriors.

Qin Wenxian vaguely felt that she was guiding him purposefully, but he still followed.

The midsummer sun hangs down to the west, the earth exudes residual warmth, and cicadas sing on the trees by the roadside.

Mei Xue had many figures, and finally fell into Maoyuan.

Qin Wenxian's intuition was not wrong, Mei Xue was indeed looking for him for something, but he didn't expect that Mei Xue just wanted him to go back to Maoyuan.

In the past few days, because of his sister's childbirth, he didn't go back to Maoyuan, and Jiang Future didn't come to him.

He really didn't have time to come back, not to mention that that day, Jiang Future pretended to be Rong Fei and went with him and Zheng Lixiao to the suburban farm to meet Yuan's family.

He originally thought that Jiang Future had this kind of temperament, with a weird and poisonous tongue, even if he was angry and didn't want to talk to him, after a few days he recovered, he would come to torment him again.After all, he wanted revenge on him.

But Mei Xue's appearance made him feel strange. He could feel that Mei Xue had no affection for him before, but now Mei Xue seemed to be staring at him for Jiang Future, with faint resentment.

Qin Wenxian entered the east wing room where he lived, and there were many jugs poured on the table and the ground in the outer room, and the smell of alcohol came to his face.

Xiao Wu, the left protector of the Promise Gate, stood by the door of the bedroom. When he saw Qin Wenxian coming in, his eyes lit up, "Young Master Qin, you are finally back. Our sect master has been ill for several days!"

Jiang Future is sick?

Qin Wenxian was startled. What happened to Jiang Mirai after he hadn't seen him for a few days?

"I'll go in and see."
