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

When Qin Ye was led by Yun Zhou into the Shuying Pavilion, Xie Heng was sitting at the table writing something.

The sun was warm outside the window, and the people sitting in the room had a leisurely look, their slanting faces were clearly defined, and their handsomeness seemed to be covered with a faint brilliance.

He seemed to hear the door curtain rattling, Xie Heng didn't lift his head, and ordered: "Close the windows, it will still be cold after blowing for a long time."

Yun Zhou looked at the expressions on both sides, lowered his head and didn't make a sound.

Originally, foreign ministers had to inform the prince when he visited the prince, but now that he is not in the palace, the rules are not strict, and Qin Ye has climbed too many walls in the past few days, so Gu Mingzhao had to go to open the door for him in person.

Today, the notification step is basically omitted.

But now he tells the prince aloud, "Duke Dingguo is here", isn't it a bit superfluous?

When the main committee decided not to leave, Qin Ye waved his hand at him.

Yun Zhou was used to observing words and expressions, and although he saw that this person didn't speak, there was a meaning in the corners of his brows and eyes.

What are you still doing here?

He just bowed his head and walked away very numbly.

Xie Heng picked up a pen and wrote a few more words, but he still didn't hear a reply. He raised his head slightly, only to see the person he had been thinking about these days standing safe and sound by the window. edge.

Like it fell from the sky.

He paused for a moment in his fluent movements, wanted to throw the pen and stood up but felt it was too sudden, forced himself to push himself back to the original position, but when he spoke, his voice rose slightly.

"When did Yuzhi come back?" Xie Heng laughed, showing a bit of obvious joy, "I thought it would be five or six days later."

Xie Heng was not very familiar with the matter of marching and fighting. He had only received the news that Qin Ye had captured Xicheng a day ago, and he began counting quietly with his fingers in his heart.

If you are in a hurry to deal with some things, and then return with part of the army, at least it will take seven or eight days, right?

It's only been two days.

Qin Ye looked at the gentle smile on the prince's delicate and exaggerated face, and felt that the exhaustion of traveling all the way had all disappeared. He rolled his Adam's apple, and pretended to be calm: "Since Xicheng is under, The rest are trivial matters, and Lu Yanhe can handle them enough."

Xie Heng gave an 'um', and didn't pay attention to whether the 'trivial matter' in his words was insignificant or not, his eyes were a little bright, and he was about to say something, but suddenly he couldn't restrain himself and coughed lightly.

With a body like the prince's, it's common to cough occasionally, but Qin Ye felt his heart tighten, and he took two steps forward and asked in concern, "Your Highness...but what's wrong with the assassination?"

"It's nothing." Afraid that he might be worried, Xie Heng coughed twice and waved his hands. "The imperial doctor has already come to see him. The wound was not serious when he was stabbed that day. It's just that he suffered from a bit of cold recently. It's okay."

He spoke lightly, but Qin Ye kept frowning and reached out to take the prince's pulse.

The action of this person in front of him was so natural, Xie Heng blinked, and he didn't have any intention of resisting, so he exposed his wrist and let him take the pulse.

Qin Ye lowered his head and stretched out his hand, seeing the cyan blood vessels on the prince's excessively white wrist, but he didn't feel the agitation of the two when their skin touched for the first time. On the contrary, he only felt a surge of hostility in his heart.

Even a rough man like Yan Xuansheng in the army can sincerely praise the prince, it's fine if he has never been blessed by heaven, so why would someone go out of his way to assassinate him?

When he got angry, he didn't talk about the truth of the enemy's camp, but he still calmed down and patiently took the pulse, and then his heart relaxed without any trace.

Indeed... nothing serious.

If I have to say it, it should be that I was a little frightened during the assassination, and I really got a little cold at night.

"What is the origin of the assassin, Your Highness can find out?" Qin Ye withdrew his hand and sat down on the seat next to the prince, still making a heavy note for the envoy in his heart.

It's one thing whether you're hurt or not, but you still have to take revenge.

"Yang Chong said that it was the fourth brother Gu Na and the envoy of King Duan. Those caught by Yan Xuansheng committed suicide later, and no one was left alive." The prince also withdrew his wrist, and raised the half-written letter in Yang's hand, Yun Dan Said lightly. "Gu has already written a letter back to Beijing to my mother and uncle, asking them to pay attention to the movement in Prince Duan's residence."

"Prince Duan..." Qin Ye was also a little surprised, and thoughtfully said, "In the past, the former prince and the fifth prince competed for the reserve position, and several princes were involved, but Prince Duan was not among them. Later, he accidentally drank alcohol and fell off a horse. Although his life was saved, his health failed.”

Queen Mother Duan's background was extremely low, and even Emperor Hui didn't get involved in the first battle for the reserve position in the first dynasty, so naturally she couldn't get in the second round.

The Jingzhong family generally believed that this was an accident.

After all, if the Zhao family were to hurt others in order to protect Empress Zhao's son Xie Heng, they should also get Jin Wang Xie Ke, not Duan Wang Xie Wei.

Xie Heng was noncommittal, King Duan had never appeared in the original book, and he hadn't fully figured out the twists and turns of the Qi Dynasty royal family, so he didn't dare to draw conclusions, but said: "Who knows, let's not talk about him. "

The two chatted for a few more words, Xie Heng thought of something, and asked, "Did Yuzhi enter the city openly?"

Qin Ye choked for a moment, and said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "No, the city gate order opened a side door... sneaked in."

He thought that the crown prince was concerned that if he opened the city gate in a fair manner, there would be rumors of discord between the two, although he felt a little embarrassed, he still said it frankly.

However, Xie Heng pulled the corner of his lips, and said flatly: "Everything in the city is complicated, and it will take a few days to clean it up. Yu Zhiming is not in the city, so it will be troublesome to discuss things."

This is said, somewhat convoluted.

Qin Ye opened his mouth, wanting to say that I can climb over the wall, but felt that the prince didn't mean that, so he asked tentatively, "Then what does your Highness think...?"

"There is nothing going on outside the city, so Yu might as well stay in Du Ruoyuan," Xie Heng frowned, and thought for a while before saying, "There may be other people's eyes and ears in the nearby places, but Shuying Pavilion can rest assured and be happy."

This was such a stroke of genius that Qin Ye felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

The crown prince wants him to live in Shuying Pavilion?

Although Du Ruo Garden was rebuilt from the Southern Zhou Dynasty palace, it was actually quite petty. Except for the main room in Shuying Pavilion, which was more spacious, the rest were servants' rooms, which had long been occupied by the maids and eunuchs serving in the Eastern Palace.

The prince is not such a frivolous person, where will he arrange for him to live?

From the very beginning, Qin Ye never thought about the option of rejecting. After a quick turn in his mind, he said slowly, "It's all up to His Highness."

Xie Heng said 'hmm' again, frowned and thought for a moment, before he said: "When Yang Chong came last time, during the time Yuzhi stayed away for a while, everything was complete."

He was afraid that Qin Ye would feel that he was contemptuous, so he spoke too fast: "Before, I wanted to enjoy the music and dance, and when I summoned Ye Jia, Yuzhi said that fish and dragons are mixed here, and there may be danger. He also said that when Xicheng was captured, he would stay with him every day. Can't talk without counting?"

Qin Ye was stared at by the prince's eyes that seemed to be filled with stars, and felt that his breathing was two points short.

At that time, he just couldn't hold it back for a while, and he stepped forward to say such words in a hurry, and he often regretted it afterwards and felt that he was frivolous.

The horoscope has not been written yet, so what do you say to accompany you every day?

Fortunately, the prince never minded.

He almost brainwashed himself to forget about this matter, but the prince suddenly asked him if this sentence counted?

Of course it is...forget it.

Qin Ye was so flustered that his ears blushed uncontrollably, but what he said was very serious.

"If it's to protect His Highness's safety," he said in a flat voice, not daring to meet the prince's eyes anymore nervously, "Naturally it counts."

-

Tangjing, Duanwangfu.

The bitter smell of soup and medicine unscrupulously filled every corner of the room, and the eunuch Gong'e serving in the room seemed to be pickled by this bitter smell, and all of them stood solemnly with their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound.

After a long time, hurried footsteps sounded, and a palace supervisor dressed in the costume of the chief eunuch of the palace walked quickly to the bed, knelt down, and said very respectfully: "Your Highness, an urgent report from Southern Xinjiang."

A corner of the blue-gray bed curtain was raised, revealing an extremely thin hand, which took the letter paper from thousands of miles away.

The eunuch held his breath and waited for a long time before hearing a long sigh.

"Failed..." Duan Wang Xie Wei said softly, "A bunch of trash."

"Qin Ye actually led troops to attack Xicheng, and Yang Chong couldn't even deal with the people around the prince..." Xie Wei coughed twice, with a disgusted tone, "This acting governor is considered a dog."

Xie Wei raised his hand, the eunuch who had been kneeling next to him helped him sit up, lifted the bed curtain, and finally let a little light fall on the bed.

Xie Wei saw that he was only 26 and seven years old, because in his own room, he was only wearing plain white pajamas, his complexion was pale, but he couldn't hide his haggardness.

At this moment, he was clutching the urgent report from southern Xinjiang tightly in his hand, and his face was unavoidably stained with a somewhat gloomy color.

"It is said in the secret report that the county and the city are closed. I am afraid that the news of Yang Chong's action may not be spread so quickly, but Qin Ye's move of mobilizing troops is such a big move. I am afraid that it cannot be hidden from the father and the king's nine younger brothers. There is no reaction with Prince Jin's Mansion?"

The eunuch lowered his head slightly, and his voice was a little low: "The Taiji Hall heard that a few cups were dropped, and they wanted to issue an order to reprimand, but Zhongshu Shilang persuaded His Majesty, saying that this move greatly boosted the morale of the army, and Dingguo still insisted. It is the governor of Southern Xinjiang, and it is still his duty to launch troops to attack the city. His Majesty is not very angry, and only hopes that Duke Ding will come back with the crown prince, so don't just stay in Southern Xinjiang."

Xie Wei's expression became more and more gloomy.

Duke Ding and the crown prince were known to be at odds, and he thought that even if the assassination failed, the crown prince might be brave enough to go to Qin Ye's territory this time, maybe that one would be a bit bloody, but he was wrong.

Now that Qin Ye has started fighting in the southern border, the emperor is not even willing to issue an order to reprimand him. I'm afraid Qin Ye may not be willing to set up his own banner.

The gloomy look on his face became more and more intense, and he asked again: "Where is King Jin?"

The eunuch was even more cautious: "His Royal Highness Jin...His Royal Highness Jin said that he has not recovered from the cold, and has ignored court affairs for two months. The crown prince is not in Tangjing. At such a good time, he even criticized the crown prince as usual. All the ministers of one party have been omitted. According to the people we put in the Prince Jin’s mansion, the King Jin wrote three letters to the west every day, all of which were addressed to Ning Xun.”

Three letters, it would be great if you eat so diligently!

hiss--

Xie Weisheng tore up the letter in his hand.

"That trash Xie Ke!" He cursed, then coughed violently.

"The layout of Nanjiang is completely abolished this time. The prince asked for orders to go on patrol this time. Although the two of them are at odds, Qin Ye's achievements should be counted in his name. He cleaned up the secret spies in Ming County and beat Xicheng. Come down, those old things in the court will not praise him to the sky!"

He gasped twice, his eyes full of resentment.

"Wait for Xie Heng to return to Beijing, wait for Xie Heng to return to Beijing... Let's talk about it."
