Chapter 26
Wen Xing didn't need to think about it to know what Xie Yi had secretly sent to monitor him.Since the last incident with the third prince, he found that there was always someone following him in the dark.
"That's right, that's right... That Princess Qingyang also said that she met Brother Wen before."
Before Wen Xing could speak, Xie Qing answered first.
Xie Yi raised his eyebrows slightly at Wen Xing when he heard the words, and said, "Huh?"
Wen Xing suddenly regretted not taking a step to speak just now.He put on a shallow smile and explained: "I did meet Princess Qingyang in the Royal Garden, but it shouldn't be a pleasant conversation. Besides, these seem to be private affairs of the minister, right?"
When he said the last sentence, Wen Xing's smile deepened and he looked directly at Xie Yi.
After that showdown, Wen Xing became less and less concerned about the difference in status between him and Xie Yi.It is impossible for Zuo Yi to give him a death sentence for being rude, maybe it can make Xie Yi understand his determination better.
But Xie Yi wasn't annoyed, and didn't ask any more questions when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then we won't talk about this topic. Gu has ordered Fu Lu to prepare lunch, together?"
After Yun Nian left, Wen Xing couldn't find a suitable servant for a while, so he simply had a meal with Xie Yi, and naturally he didn't refuse this time.
Wen Xing had no time to go back to his room until he had lunch and ordered the maid to send Xie Qing back, and unwrapped the bag that Princess Qingyang had given him.
There is only a small piece of paper and a dead plum lying in the kit.
Wen Xing frowned, took out the small note and spread it out, and saw two lines of poems neatly written in it——
The dream of a traveler in the rivers and lakes, the love of hometown through wind and rain.
How about a letter from the South, three or two plum blossoms. [Note]
At the end of the note, there is still a small word "Xin Ke Meng", which is faintly stained with the cold fragrance of plum blossoms, which is refreshing.
Wen Xing recalled the bracelet he had worn since he was a child, each bead of which was engraved with plum blossoms in different shapes, and also related to Princess Qingyang's expression when she asked her name, and her mind was in a mess. paste.
Whether it is the name Wen Xing or the character Ke Meng, his father Wen Guang personally chose it for him.
Could it be that when my father was stationed at the frontier, he actually had contacts with the Yunwu people? !
Wen Xing broke out in a cold sweat, he stuffed the note back indiscriminately, and tightly tied the pocket of the kit.
According to Wen Xing's understanding, when his father was stationed on the frontier, the relationship between the Northern Dynasty and the Yunwu tribe was at the most tense point, and the government and the opposition were all worried about whether they would fight each other in the next moment.
And later, when he was three years old, his father actually dispatched troops once, and went straight to the base camp of the soldiers guarding the border in Yunwu, driving them back hundreds of miles away.It was also the completion of his father's task of guarding the border after the war, and the team returned to the court.
If it is said that the father has contacts with them, then what is the battle?
After a while, Wen Xing let out a sigh of relief, put away the kit, walked to the desk and pretended nothing happened.
into the night.
After practicing calligraphy at the desk for a day, Wen Xing rubbed his wrists, and finally got up to rest.After undressing himself, he gently walked to the candlestick and blew out the candlelight.
Darkness enveloped the entire room, only stars and moonlight infiltrated faintly by the window.
Wen Xing casually spread out the sheets and messed them up, but turned around and walked to the door, leaning against the wall quietly.
"Squeak-"
After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight sound of opening the door, and a slender figure entered the room lightly.
Wen Xing quickly drew out his dagger and pressed it against the waist of the visitor, his clear eyes, which were hidden in the darkness, were tightly locked on the back, his eyes like torches.He asked in a low voice, "Who is here?"
The figure paused for a moment, then chuckled and turned around.
"Why, is Ah Xing going to assassinate Gu?"
"Your Highness?" Wen Xing was taken aback when he heard the familiar voice, and immediately withdrew the dagger, "Sorry, I was rude.".
What did he say on his lips, but his brows were slightly furrowed.
Could it be that he guessed wrong?
Seeing that Wen Xing was silent, Xie Yi asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Xing sighed softly, shook his head, and asked as he walked back to the candlestick, "Why is Your Highness here?"
While speaking, Wen Xing also relit the candle.
Xie Yi walked to his side and said, "I saw that the candles in your room were extinguished today, so I wanted to come over and have a look. Are you worried that there will be assassins at night?"
Wen Xing rubbed his temples, looking tired. "Yeah. But maybe I'm worrying too much."
Only then did Xie Yi notice that Wen Xing was only wearing a thin inner coat, he frowned and took his cold hand, and reprimanded him in a low voice, "Why don't you wear a coat? You wear so little at night?" Do you want to die!"
His hands were suddenly covered by warm palms, Wen Xing subconsciously wanted to pull them out, but Xie Yi held them even tighter.
He raised the corners of his lips and said calmly: "It's nothing. I'm not so weak yet, please pay attention to your identity, Your Highness."
As if Xie Yi hadn't heard of it, he directly dragged Wen Xing to sit by the bed, pulled the coat hanging on the side and put it on him, and after doing all this, Xie Yi sat down on the chair beside him.
"Would you like to talk to Gu about what happened?"
After all, Wen Xing couldn't solve this matter alone, so he thought about it and said something out of it.
"Your Highness, do you remember that I met Princess Qingyang in the imperial garden today?"
Xie Yi nodded and said, "I remember."
Wen Xing gathered his coat and continued to explain: "Princess Qingyang said today that she had seen the minister from afar when she was a child, but since she came back from the frontier at the age of three, the minister has never left the capital."
"At that time, there was a world feud between the Northern Dynasty and Yunwu. How could Princess Qingyang, as the princess of the Yunwu tribe, come all the way to the capital of our Northern Dynasty when she was young?"
"But looking at Princess Qingyang's appearance, she seems to really know me. Therefore, I wonder if she has investigated my identity beforehand, and she came here to target me."
Wen Xing omitted the matter about the kit and expressed his doubts.
Xie Yi also frowned after hearing this, and said: "Gu has no contact with that Princess Qingyang, so I don't know if she has some small plans. And I don't know much about the Yunwu Clan Gu, only that they make good use of it." trick."
"The Northern Dynasties and Yunwu were at odds from generation to generation, and there was a 80-[-]-year animosity. They suddenly thought it was wrong to send people here to reconcile their relatives. After what you said, Gu also thought they should come for something. If this is the case, yours The situation is much more dangerous. How about..."
He paused, raised his eyes and stared at Wen Xing.
Wen Xing waited for a while but didn't get Xie Yi's next words, instead, he was stared at by Xie Yi first, making his back hairy.
He flicked the beads on the bracelet lightly, moved back a little distance, and asked, "... how?"
"How about you live with the mover and Gu for the time being?"
Wen Xing: "...?!"
