Prime Minister, he just refuses to usurp the throne

At Maoshi the next day, Xie Anshuang had a rare long sleep, and when he woke up, he was in a much better mood than usual.

"Is Your Majesty awake?"

Ru Nian asked in a low voice from outside the screen, and Xie Anshuang replied: "Get up, uncle, wait for me."

After finishing speaking, he stood up neatly, adjusted his clothes and appearance before stepping out of the screen.

Ru Nian ordered the imperial dining room to prepare breakfast in advance, and when Xie Anshuang went out, the temperature of the breakfast was just right, so that he could finish it as soon as possible.

On the way, Ru Nian asked Xie Anshuang about his plans for today.

Xie Anshuang stirred the warm porridge in the bowl, lowered his eyes and said, "Today should be a trip out of the palace, after a while of fun, I will go to the suburbs of Beijing to stay overnight."

Ru Nian immediately understood what he meant, and asked, "Are you trying to give that masked thief a chance to sneak in?"

Xie An nodded in response.

After he came back last night, he investigated the sphere of influence of the original third prince, and he made it clear that Xing Wenshu had not had much contact with the third prince before, and there was a certain rift between the original third prince and the prince.

If the ultimate goal of the masked thief is really Xing Wenshu, it stands to reason that he shouldn't pick the third prince's person so hard.

And if the masked thief's goal is not Xing Wenshu, then the biggest possibility is that his real goal is Xie Anshuang.

But the masked thief had Qianxiao poison in his hands.Based on his understanding of Empress Dowager Yuangui, if Empress Dowager Yuangui really became suspicious of him, it would be impossible to take such a roundabout way.

Xie Anshuang was not sure about it for a while, so he simply went to the suburbs of Beijing, where the defense is currently the weakest, in the name of playing.

He finished his breakfast quickly, and asked Fuyuan to call Xing Wenshu to the Qiwu Palace after the estimated time was about the same, but learned from Fuyuan that Xing Wenshu was not in the palace.

Although Xie Anshuang asked him to serve as a bodyguard, he was usually not imprisoned to enter and leave the palace when he was not called to accompany him.

Fuyuan also added after the report: "However, Prime Minister Xing told the old slave in advance that he went to Dali Qingfu."

"Dali Qingfu?" Xie Anshuang raised his eyebrows lightly - he remembered that Dali Qing was the influence of the Empress Dowager Yuangui.

He stroked the side of the wine glass in his hand, and continued after a while, "When I called him back, I said that Gu and Concubine Xian were going out to play in the palace, and ordered him to accompany him as an escort."

Fuyuan responded, and resigned as he said, and went to Dali Qing's mansion.

So not long after, Dali Qingfu came.

Xing Wenshu, who was dressed in an official uniform, was holding a cold chess piece in his hand, and when he was playing the chess game with Qing Dali, at the most critical moment, he heard that someone came to report that it was Eunuch Fuyuan who had come here on the order of the sage.

"Eunuch Fuyuan?" Dali Qing expressed his surprise slightly, and seemed to be a little apprehensive, worried that he might have offended Xie Anshuang by accident.

On the other hand, Xing Wenshu was calm and unhurried, making a move on the chess game, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Qin, don't worry, just ask Mr. Fu to enter the mansion and explain why you are here."

Daliqing seemed to be comforted by his calmness, he laughed dryly, and ordered his servants to bring Fuyuan over.

Not long after, Fuyuan came to the study and bowed to the two people in the room: "Master Xing, Lord Qin."

Xing Wenshu responded briefly, and then asked calmly: "Eunuch Fu is here this time, but what is your majesty's intention?"

Fu Yuan respectfully said: "His Majesty has given an oral order that His Majesty will go on a trip with the Concubine Xian today, and ordered Mr. Xing to return to the palace immediately and accompany him with guards."

Xing Wenshu sighed regretfully: "Since that's the case, it seems that today's chess game will never be finished."

He gently dropped the last chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, stood up and nodded to Qing Dali, and said gently: "Today, Mr. Qin will entertain you. This unfinished chess game can only be resumed at another day."

"Master Xing is going to be dismissed now." Dali Qing hurriedly stood up, and there seemed to be worry in his eyes, "It's just that this chess is the last few moves, it's a pity that Master Xing left in such a hurry."

Xing Wenshu smiled slightly, but his dark eyes were like a frozen lake in winter, without much waves, and said: "The chess game can continue, and His Majesty's order can't be shirked. If there are too many disturbances today, I will take my leave first."

"Your Majesty sends Prime Minister Xing off respectfully."

Qing Dali had no choice but to give up, and after paying tribute, he arranged for his servants to send Xing Wenshu away.

He watched Xing Wenshu's back disappear outside the study, then breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to the position just now to prepare to clean up the chess game.

However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the situation of the chess game had changed drastically because of Xing Wenshu's last move.

Bai Zi, who was originally at a disadvantage, turned against the guest, forming a trend of catching the turtle in the urn. No matter where he falls for the sunspot, there must be only one result——

All the game loses.

Qing Dali suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where Xing Wenshu left, and clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves slightly.

……

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Xing Wenshu followed Fuyuan back to the palace, and changed back to the white clothes he usually wears on weekdays. At the same time, he also let go of the self-contained sense of oppression when facing Dali Qing, as if he was just a gentle and harmless ordinary scholar.

Fuyuan witnessed the change in his aura, and wisely chose to pretend that he hadn't noticed it, and kept silent.

Xie An, who was sitting on the seat of Qiwu Hall, rested his chin with one hand, and seemed a little dissatisfied: "Master Xing came so slowly, why is he bothering you?"

Xing Wenshu responded obediently: "Your Majesty, it's just that I accidentally soiled my clothes on the way back and changed them again when I returned to my residence, so there was a delay. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Xie Anshuang didn't quite believe him, and turned to look at Fuyuan.

Fu Yuan glanced at Xing Wenshu's kneeling figure on the ground, and replied: "Your Majesty, it is exactly as Prime Minister Xing said."

Xie Anshuang believed in Fuyuan, so he didn't say any more after hearing the words, and ordered: "Get ready for the sedan chair, Gu and Aifei are getting impatient."

"Yes." Fuyuan stepped back as promised, and came back not long after to report that the sedan chair was ready.

Today, mainly using the excuse of having fun, Xie Anshuang and Ru Nian went to the market again and bought a bunch of useless things.

On the way, he also paid special attention to the conversations of the pedestrians around him, and sure enough, he heard that he might go to the suburbs today, and the news that he summoned Xing Wenshu to accompany him had begun to spread in the capital.

Pedestrians were in a hurry, Xie Anshuang only heard sporadic comments, roughly pieced together, they basically called him stupid, absurd, and only know pleasure, or expressed sympathy for Xing Wenshu, worried that Xing Wenshu would not be able to complete the thorough investigation on time under his deliberate embarrassment.

They are all in line with the development trend that Xie Anshuang expected.

"These rouges are all made of high-quality materials. Do you want to buy some for the girl?"

The gracious greeting from the proprietress of the rouge shop brought Xie Anshuang back to his thoughts. He glanced at it casually and said directly: "You can take a box of the best-selling items here."

The proprietress immediately smiled and said, "Hey, good!"

While the proprietress picked up a few boxes of rouge to bag, Xie Anshuang turned around to call Xing Wenshu to pay, and saw Xing Wenshu staring directly at the pastry shop opposite.

He couldn't help chuckling, and said lazily, "Ah Shen really has a soft spot for pastries."

Xing Wenshu came to his senses when he heard his voice, and there seemed to be anticipation in his eyes.

It was rare for Xie Anshuang to see such a lively expression on his face, and he said generously: "Okay, let's go buy it, remember to go and come back quickly."

"My subordinate thank you son."

Xing Wenshu responded politely, first went to pay Rouge's money, and then walked to the pastry shop opposite, hiding himself in the crowd.

Not long after that, there was another person beside him—it was the Dali minister he went to meet in the morning.

"Mr. Qin, what a coincidence." Xing Wenshu stood at the door of the pastry shop, looking at Qing Dali with a half-smile, "I wonder if Mr. Qin has thought about today's unfinished chess game, what should be the next move?"

He spoke at a leisurely pace, but it made Qing Dali feel a burst of pressure for no reason.

Qing Dali laughed dryly, and responded: "Young Master Xing is superb at chess, and Mr. Qin is willing to bow down."

Just at this moment, the owner of the pastry shop handed Xing Wenshu's pastry to him. After taking it, he handed over a copy to Qing Dali, and said leisurely, "Mr. Qin has a great reputation. It was a pleasure playing chess with Mr. Qin today. Xing is looking forward to meeting with you. Master Qin's next chess game.

"Then, see you next time."

After he finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, took the pastry and turned back to the rouge shop, leaving Qing Dali standing there alone, with a little cold sweat on his palms.
