After refusing to marry the prince, the general regretted it too much

Zhiwei hall outside.

The young man dressed as a servant was holding a broom in his hand, sweeping the ground halfheartedly, his agile eyes glanced around from time to time.

He had already seen Princess Mingxuan walking slowly from the front yard with many maids and servants from a distance, so he deliberately avoided the direction of the main entrance and hid in this uninhabited place so as to avoid laziness.

Suddenly, the young man seemed to feel something, and raised his head slightly.

There was a barely perceptible sound, and a vigorous figure leaped out from the wall. His figure was chic, and his clothes fluttered with determination and sharpness.

The boy's pupils shrank unconsciously, and he took a step back with his heart beating wildly.

Compared with other residences of high-ranking officials and nobles in Tangjing City, the guards of Dingguo Duke's Mansion are not strict, Qin Ye is very quiet, and there are not many people around Zhiwei Hall.

Of course, it wasn't because Qin Ye couldn't afford to play this score, it's just that the Qi Dynasty God of War, who had killed seven in and seven out in front of the southern border army, was confident enough in his own skills.

The assassins who fell into the sand countless times in the Southern Zhou Dynasty had already proved by themselves that it would not work to solve Qi Dynasty, the pillar of the country, by assassination.

And now, someone dared to turn over the wall of Zhiwei Hall under Qin Ye's nose?

It's fine if you turn it over, and you saw it, how can you know if it will silence you?

The back of the young man was sweating coldly. Before he had time to think about how to beg for mercy, he saw the handsome "champion" landed on both feet, but it seemed that he landed unsteadily. profile.

The person I met more than a month ago seems to have changed a lot.

This person's original gentle and elegant temperament added a bit of grace and majesty, as if he sensed someone, he looked at him lightly with a pair of dark eyes, as if the predicament just now did not exist at all, he was indescribably calm and composed.

The boy's breathing stopped for a moment, and then he became ecstatic.

He flicked the broom in his hand neatly, and rushed forward: "Your Highness!"

……

Xie Heng worked hard for a few days of light kung fu, and it is no longer comparable to what it was ten months ago. At this time, he moved to the side of the gap with agility, avoiding the young man's pounce on his right leg.

The young man flung himself to nothing, and fell on his back, revealing a face that was completely different from the skin color on his neck, but still hard to conceal.

Xie Heng took a look and found that he was an acquaintance.

Isn't this the first time he stopped him on the way back to the East Palace after his marriage proposal was rejected from Duke Dingguo's mansion, hugged his leg and cried and begged him to avenge his father?

In my impression, according to the young man, his father was imprisoned because he was framed for colluding with the local nobles in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. He also cried and said that he and Qin Ye were about to get married, so they should take it as a way to avoid blood...

Xie Heng is not a person who will die without saving, but at that time he had only been here for less than a day, and he hadn't figured out the surrounding environment, so it was hard to protect himself, let alone save others?

"Why are you here?" Xie Heng asked calmly, hiding the embarrassment of being found over the wall by an acquaintance.

The last time we met, this young man was wearing a half-new brocade robe, and he was also dressed as a child of the Qi Dynasty's clan. This time it was good, he directly put on the uniform of a servant in Dingguo's mansion.

It's only been a month's work before and after, if he can barely say that his father was beheaded for a crime, the whole family was not enslaved, and then he was sold to the Duke's mansion to become a current person...

I really can't justify it.

The boy didn't get hold of Xie Heng's leg, so he didn't get discouraged, he knelt upright, and replied: "I have been running around these days to avenge my father but failed. luck."

The young man raised his head, his eyes turned red again: "Mr. Dingguo has been guarding southern Xinjiang for several years, fought against Southern Zhou for several years, and is very familiar with the counties in Southern Xinjiang. How is my father an official? Collusion, Duke Ding must have known about it!"

The young man touched the corners of his eyes, and continued: "I know that Duke Ding has been avoiding the court and ignoring court affairs since he entered Beijing, and the concierge in the mansion did not accept the gift slips. Even if he did, what else can I give to my family? That's why I came up with this bad plan, I wanted to pretend to go to the mansion to see if I could ask for a meeting..."

Xie Heng thought to himself, Qin Ye would not care about your matter.

Qin Ye returned to Beijing to be honored and raised because Emperor Hui didn't trust him, and he didn't trust that the tens of thousands of elites in southern Xinjiang were in the hands of one person, so he counted imperial decrees to recruit people back to Beijing.

After Qin Ye returned to Beijing, he stayed in the mansion with peace of mind. He declined all incoming and outgoing invitations, and he didn't care much about the military affairs in southern Xinjiang. It was his best expression of his suspicion of Emperor Hui.

If the confidant's old department is involved, and it has something to do with his own fame, he might go all out to defend himself, but he can excuse this clan son who obviously has nothing to do with Dingguo's mansion, what is he trying to do?

This young man may not be unable to figure out the relationship, just look at him going to the East Palace for a month before thinking of sneaking into Dingguo's mansion in disguise, you can know one or two.

It's just that there's nothing I can do.

Xie Heng didn't intend to get involved at first, but seeing how pitiful the young man was, he finally softened his tone: "Who is your father? I'll send someone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to ask."

He didn't make any promises, but the young man kowtowed as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "My father, King of Lushan County, Xie Kuangshi, please be considerate, Your Highness!"

Xie Heng's expression froze.

Xie Kuangshi, King of Lushan County?

The title of King of Lushan County belongs to the last rank among the kings of the Qi Dynasty. It is not honorable and has no real power. If it is passed down to the next generation, it will not even be a king, and it will already belong to the fringe figures of the royal family.

But this is not the point.

The point is that Xie Kuangshi, the king of Lushan County, has only one only son under his knees, and his name is far away.

In the original book, Xie Zhiyao, the protagonist who was born in a down-and-out clan, rose to prominence during the turmoil of the Qi Dynasty, and finally ascended to the throne after some tempering.

Xie Heng opened his eyes wide, looking at the immature boy kneeling in front of him in a dazed way.

He has been here for more than a month, and he has left seven or eight ways to retreat. While practicing light kung fu and digging secrets, he has not forgotten to criticize the government affairs every day, but he has never thought of Xie Zhiyao.

With the status of his body, there is no possibility of taking shelter from others.

This is entrusting one's life to other people's preferences, Xie Heng doesn't like to do this kind of thing.

But when the protagonist jumped on his lap alive and kicking, Xie Heng found that his mind was still wandering.

When you speak again, the point of attention has shifted.

"The King of Lushan County... How many people are there in your family?" Xie Heng tried his best to recall while reporting his names; "Xu Shi, Xu Lianjia, Wang Su, if there are, what are they doing now?"

What he reported were all the names of the right-hand men that the protagonists in the original book brought with them when they appeared on the stage. Xu Shi was a minister capable of governing the world, Xu Lianjia was a warrior on the battlefield, and Wang Su was good at strange skills and ingenuity.

The young Xie Zhiyao was completely stunned by the sudden arrival of His Highness the Crown Prince, he was taken aback for a moment before he said: "Yes..."

He looked at Xie Heng's calm face, and he didn't know what the prince was thinking, let alone why the prince knew the names of these three people, so he could only say cautiously: "Xu Shi is the teacher invited by my father. Sir, he has a reputation as a scholar; Xu Lianjia is the son of a groom in the minister's house, and he is also learning how to train horses now; Wang Su is a relative of the minister's mother who came to Tangjing in trouble, and is the same age as the minister. I stayed in the mansion all day making messes, and I even blew up the kitchen two days ago..."

Xie Heng: "..."

-

Zhiweitang.

In early autumn, it was raining lightly outside the window.

Qin Ye had already woken up, and now he sat up straight, and put a thin robe on top of his pajamas. His brows and eyes were slightly drooping, and his face was flat, making it difficult to see whether he was happy or angry.

Nearly two hours had passed since he fell asleep for the second time, and the medicinal power of the Anshen Decoction had not been completely exhausted. There should not be guests in Zhiwei Hall.

However, Princess Mingxuan is not someone else, she is Qin Ye's biological mother who has never turned against her.

The servants of Duke Dingguo's mansion dared to stop Marquis Wu Ning, and even dared to block the crown prince with Qin Ye's signal, but they would never stop Princess Mingxuan.

Shi Shiran sat on the edge of the bed after Princess Mingxuan entered the door, and asked about Qin Ye's body with full concern.

Qin Ye lowered his eyelids, responded with a few words in a neutral manner, but looked out the window.

The rain was getting heavier, and the raindrops dripped from the vertical corners of the eaves, weaving into a fine net, and the breeze mixed with the moist rain blew by. Qin Ye, who had a strong body like this, felt a bit of coolness.

He was wondering where Xie Heng is now.

Princess Mingxuan came so quickly, but the crown prince was bound to avoid it.

Lu Yanhe was injured and couldn't react in time, and the prince came to the mansion in a low suit, and the people around him were not familiar with the route of Duke Dingguo's mansion. At this moment, shouldn't he be shivering under the rain in some pavilion?

Princess Mingxuan said a few more words, and then found an excuse to push back the servants in the house. Qin Ye looked away, knowing that the foreshadowing was sufficient, and he was about to start talking about business.

The middle-aged woman with delicate and bright makeup on her face restrained her concerned expression, stretched out her hand to brush the loose hair that had been scattered due to the haste to enter the door, and said straightforwardly: "You shouldn't get too involved with the prince. "

"You went back to Beijing to cultivate, in order to avoid suspicion, even your grandfather and I didn't come to the door very often, because you were afraid that His Majesty would be suspicious. You are better off, let the rumors of your marriage to the crown prince fly everywhere in the capital!"

"If it's just the prince insisting on getting involved with you, it's not impossible to get rid of the relationship completely, but are you crazy, running to the East Palace every day for half a month, I'm afraid you won't be labeled as the prince's party! What can the prince give you? ? Let you risk your life and wealth to play with him?"

Qin Ye let the master of Ming Xuan's censure spout out like a cannonball, and did not refute, but said lightly: "I was poisoned by the falling shadow of the Southern Zhou Dynasty in southern Xinjiang. When it happened, it was unspeakable. The famous doctor healed me, and it really worked.”

Princess Mingxuan chuckled, as if she had never met the person in front of her: "That's it?"

She raised her eyebrows high, and said indifferently: "The poison on your body was treated properly back then, only two or three points of the poison are left. It's just that there will be pain on your body occasionally, and it won't damage the root."

It doesn't hurt at all.

Qin Ye closed his eyes, and his heart, which he thought had already been as firm as a rock, trembled slightly, with a bit of sadness welling up.

The residual poison in his body has been suppressed by internal force for many years, and he often takes various rare treasures for nourishment. Indeed, some doctors who invited him said that it is just that it is more unbearable when it happens occasionally, and it does not damage the root.

But when such sensible words came out of his mother's mouth, it was extremely harsh.

Qin Ye closed his eyes and said nothing, Princess Mingxuan only thought he had heard it, and raised his chin.

"Do you think I don't know what you want? Your Majesty doesn't want to let you go to southern border anymore. Now that you help the prince, the prince is naturally grateful. But after a hundred years from your majesty, will the prince let you go to southern border?"

"My Su family is crowned king with a different surname, and controls nearly half of the military power in the capital. If you command an army of [-] in southern Xinjiang, how many emperors can sleep peacefully at night?"

Princess Mingxuan took out a picture album from his sleeve and threw it into Qin Ye's arms: "Pick one, and I will be the villain and refuse the prince's marriage for you."

Qin Ye opened his eyes, picked up the album in his arms and opened it, and frowned after just a few glances.

"Xie Zhuo, the second son of King Yaoshan? Wen Shu, the second son of Marquis Chongxiang? Xu Hezhe, the second son of Marquis Hongyi?... What is mother doing?"

There were portraits of a dozen or so princes of aristocratic families in that album, and they also clearly stated their height, weight, hobbies and hobbies. They were all from noble families but had no real power, so Duke Huai's mansion could completely control their families.

Princess Mingxuan said as a matter of course: "Of course I'm going to discuss marriage with you."

"You once refused His Majesty's offer of marriage to the princess on the pretext that you only loved men. Now, if you want to propose a daughter from a well-matched family, I'm afraid it will be impossible. You should first choose someone who looks pleasing to the eye, and I will let you go out." Zu went to the palace to ask His Majesty for a marriage."

"In this way, the rumors with the prince will be self-defeating, and you will naturally be able to pick it out."

Qin Ye straightforwardly put down the booklet in his hand, and frowned even tighter: "I don't need to worry about this matter, my son knows it well."

Princess Mingxuan didn't care what he said, and said directly: "The second son of Marquis Chongxiang is a good boy, and he has always admired you very much. I like it, so I have already brought him in. Now he should be in the backyard."

Qin Ye's movement of reaching out to caress his forehead stopped in mid-air.

already brought in.

People in the backyard? ? ?

For a moment, the scene when the prince met another person on a narrow road and learned that the person was brought by the princess to give him a "catch-up" scene appeared in his mind.

The crown prince likes him so much, and even said "lonely love and heavy Yuzhi" in front of everyone, which can be regarded as saving face. Yesterday he guarded him for a whole night, and today he has to avoid him for various reasons. It is already very wronged. What's more, bumping into such a person head-on again?

For a moment, Qin Ye felt a strange sense of guilt, and his heart was sour.
