Chapter 180 He is not the Master...
After reading the letter, Xie Qinghuan just frowned.
He tilted his head and asked:
"When he left, didn't he know I was sick?"
"Well... your illness was not discovered until the next day, and he had already left Beijing by then."
Xie Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief.
That's fine.
otherwise……
He would definitely be worried.
"Then don't tell him. I'm almost well anyway."
Xie Tingzhou looked at his younger sister in surprise.
did not expect……
This is her reaction...
My little sister is really sensible!
But I felt a little sad for no reason.
Chu Hanxiao has just returned to the palace, and I'm already starting to put myself in a difficult position for the sake of the overall situation!
In the future, the battle for succession and succession to the throne...
Isn't it that my younger sister has to suffer more injustice?
Ugh……
If the person I liked was another prince, I wouldn't have to take so many detours!
While sighing...
The other princes are coming soon.
The eunuch reported back that Chu Zhenye came to visit.
Xie Qinghuan put down the letter he had been reading over and over again and motioned for him to come in.
Worried that the disease would be passed on to the Night King.
She put on a veil to cover her mouth and nose and closed the curtains.
Chu Zhenye entered and Xie Tingzhou stood up to greet him.
"Meet the prince."
"No need to be polite."
He signaled to the servant to put the gifts on the table.
Condolences:
"Miss Xie, are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern, my Lord. I feel much better now."
Xie Qinghuan said politely, thinking that he did not even visit the emperor when he was ill.
Then he quickly asked:
"Has the prince visited the emperor's uncle?"
This made Chu Zhenye laugh.
Sweetness in my heart.
Qinghuan...is taking care of him!
"Yes, I came from the Wanshou Palace. I visited the Queen Mother and Father, and I came to see you."
That's good……
Xie Qinghuan nodded, looked at the letter in his hand, and thought of the person in his heart.
Say no more.
Through the gauze curtain, Chu Zhenye could vaguely see her with her head down, looking very worried.
Then you know why she is worried.
I felt sad, but I still drooped my eyelashes.
Turn to Xie Tingzhou.
"I heard that Yeon-kyung and his men have already arrived in Hanyang. I believe a letter will be delivered tomorrow."
"Really?"
Xie Qinghuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
I couldn't help but reveal a small gap in the gauze curtain.
"Did you encounter any danger along the way?"
Chu Zhenye pulled the corners of his mouth, and his smile seemed a little forced.
"With General Luo accompanying us, some minor problems will surely be solved."
Only then did Xie Qinghuan smile with his eyes curved.
"As long as there is no danger."
"Um……"
Whenever he saw her smile, Chu Zhenye would become greedy...
He suppressed the restlessness in his heart, coughed lightly and looked away.
"By the way, have you heard...yesterday, the emperor punished Chu Yingji."
Xie Tingzhou looked at him puzzledly.
"I've been busy taking care of Qing Huan these few days since the court session ended, so I haven't heard about it..."
Chu Zhenye nodded.
"To save his reputation, they only summoned him to the palace and gave him twenty strokes of the cane, but they didn't make it public."
Xie Qinghuan chuckled and said:
"On the day when the Emperor's uncle fell into a coma, didn't the Empress do it by forcing him to kneel before all the officials? What dignity do you have left?"
Xie Tingzhou shook his head.
"The Empress Dowager's decree and the Emperor's decree are different after all."
Too……
The Queen Mother's punishment is nothing more than a grandmother teaching her children and grandchildren;
The emperor's decree involves the inheritance of the country...
"but……"
Xie Tingzhou sighed.
"As soon as the eldest prince returned to the palace, he caused such a stir. I am afraid that in the future..."
Chu Zhenye also had a gloomy look, as if he was worried.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up and left, and said:
"In the lineage of the Duke of the Guard, besides Princess Jiarou, there is another granddaughter who is still unmarried..."
He looked at Xie Tingzhou meaningfully.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
Seeing Xie Tingzhou remained silent, he smiled faintly:
“But there’s no rush.
The eldest prince is now in disgrace and out of favor with the emperor.
I guess... the Duke of the Protectorate would not arrange a marriage for his granddaughter at this time."
Several forces are watching.
As Luo Changfeng volunteered to escort Chu Hanxiao to provide disaster relief, the attitudes of the Xie and Luo families had become clear.
at the moment……
The other officials were all stealing glances at the Duke of Protectorate.
Xie Tingzhou understood what he meant and was about to nod in agreement.
But Xie Qinghuan spoke first.
"Ji Wanjun is only a few years older than me, and my brother doesn't know her very well! This matter...cannot be forced!"
She exchanged glances with the surprised Xie Tingzhou.
It's written clearly in his eyes...
My brother's happiness cannot be used as a bargaining chip!!
Xie Tingzhou smiled softly.
Chu Zhenye also nodded.
"Yes, Qinghuan is right...but yesterday...Miss Ji has already sent the visiting card to the Night Palace."
He observed Xie Qinghuan's expression carefully.
He clearly knew that there was no place for him in her heart...
But I can't help but hold a glimmer of anticipation.
Xie Qinghuan heard him say that the Duke of Protectorate was trying to please him.
I was indeed shocked.
But he still asked directly:
"My Lord, you said that you support Chu Hanxiao, right?"
wrong……
Chu Zhenye felt lost for a moment.
I feel empty inside...
How he wanted to tell her.
He supports people...
From beginning to end, she was the only one there!
The person she chose was Chu Yanjing, so he would stand on his side...
If only her eyes could hold his shadow.
Why couldn't he fight for the throne?
pity……
In the end, I could only lower my eyelashes and smile bitterly.
"Yes, I support my brother..."
"Thank you for your support, Your Majesty."
Chu Zhenye smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Goodbye.
"Then let's not disturb Miss Xie from recuperating. I'll go ahead."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"My Lord, I will take you..."
Xie Tingzhou saw Chu Zhenye out.
Not long after, Luo Sanqian and Qianying, who came to visit, came in.
"Little sister, how are you?"
"much better!"
She pulled open the curtain and winked at Luo Sanqian, asking him to take her brother out.
Luo Sanqian was suspicious, but did as he was told.
Leaving behind a thousand shadows.
He tapped his folding fan and tilted his head to look at her.
"Let me guess, what is it that the young lady cannot let the host and the minister know...
Well, I guess it has something to do with my disciple!"
"guessed wrong!"
Xie Qinghuan pulled him to the bedside.
"I asked my third brother to help me investigate the person a few days ago. How is the investigation going?"
"Hmm? Ling Zizhong?"
Qianying thought about it.
"This person...there is almost no information about him in Qianyin Pavilion, but according to my research, he doesn't know how to treat medicine."
The light in Xie Qinghuan's eyes dimmed a little.
The shoulders dropped.
As expected... he is not the master...
Qianying saw this and comforted her:
"However, in my opinion, this Ling Zizhong is quite suspicious!"
"Huh? What do you say?"
Qianying glanced at the closed palace door.
Discuss with him in a low voice.
"When I checked on him, he was not in Kyoto for the past two days, so I checked his duty records at the Imperial College... Guess what?"
"Hey, Master Qianying! Please tell me!"
She tugged at his sleeve anxiously.
Qianying curled his lips proudly and leaned forward and said:
"I discovered that this guy's whereabouts are almost the same as those of the Third Prince!"
Xie Qinghuan’s eyes froze.
"With Chu Hanxiao?"
Qianying nodded:
“The Third Prince took medicine from Qishan, and he asked for leave;
When the Third Prince was humiliated in Juancheng, he was not there either;
Including going to Taocheng to pick up the young master a few days ago..."
Xie Qinghuan's heart was pounding, and hope was rekindled...
