The prince is shameless

Chapter 36

"His Royal Highness, where is the 'stolen item' now?"

Wen Xing could almost guess that Manager Zhang put the jade pendant in Fei Qing's room, but he still needed to confirm it.

Xie Yi ordered someone to fetch the jade pendant, along with the cloth bag.

Fang took the cloth bag from the servant, and Wen Xing vaguely smelled the same strange fragrance as that of Manager Zhang.

Sure enough it was him.

Reminiscent of Tang An saying that he was sneaking in front of Feifu, Wen Xing vaguely had another guess.

"Your Highness, I have the audacity to ask for an excuse to speak."

Wen Xing put down the cloth bag in his hand, and looked at Xie Yi seriously.

Xie Yi could see that he had some clues, nodded, told Xie Qing not to run around, and went back to the room with Wen Xing.

"But what did you notice?"

As soon as he returned to the room, Xie Yi asked straight to the point.

Wen Xing straightened his thoughts, and said slowly: "The minister concluded that Manager Zhang should have secretly put this jade pendant in Fei Qing's room, and he may have left something that could be evidence in Fei Qing's room. He wanted to go to Fei Qing's room earlier. The purpose of the Fei Mansion was to retrieve the object, but it was a pity that Tang An caught it."

Hearing this, Xie Yi nodded in agreement, but didn't interrupt, waiting for Wen Xing to continue.

Sure enough, after a pause, Wen Xing lowered his voice and said, "I suspect that someone wants to sow discord."

"Separation between who and who?" Xie Yi heard this, and immediately understood that this matter was definitely not an ordinary malicious framing.

"The minister and His Highness, and His Highness and the Sixth Prince." Wen Xing expressed his doubts, and then continued to explain under Xie Yi's acquiescent eyes.

"Fang Caichen encountered a fork in the road when he was chasing the assassin. Chen and An split up and continued chasing, but they came to the courtyard of His Highness Sixth. At first, I didn't think anything was wrong. Later, when I was about to leave, I saw a piece of cloth at the door of a hut in the courtyard. The material of the clothes is exactly the same as that of the assassin in white."

"I wanted to go in and investigate, but His Royal Highness said that no one could set foot in that place, so he tried his best to stop it. Because of this, I became suspicious of His Royal Highness."

"It's just that after Ann came back and told Chen clearly that the assassin fled to the direction she was chasing, Chen felt that something was wrong."

After listening to Wen Xing's words, Xie Yi pondered for a moment, and said: "You mean, that person knew that Xiaoqing wouldn't let anyone in, so he deliberately played a trick in order to make us think that Xiaoqing was involved in this thing?"

Wen Xing nodded, affirmed Xie Yi's statement, and asked again: "Your Highness, do you remember that you said earlier that someone deliberately induced His Majesty to throw this case to you?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Yi raised his eyebrows lightly.

Wen Xing knew that he understood, so he didn't say any more.

Everyone in the DPRK knows that the two young masters of Fei Mansion and Wen Mansion have a close personal relationship. If Xie Yi cannot repay Fei's innocence in this case, there will be more or less estrangement between Wen Xing and Xie Yi.

At present, Wen Xing is Xie Yi's most powerful assistant on the bright side. Once the two fall out, Xie Yi will lose a hand and his strength will be greatly reduced.

There are a total of six sensible princes in the court.As the crown prince, Xie Yi's strength has declined, the second prince has no intention of governing, and the others are not yet effective. On the contrary, the sixth prince who is the youngest but most often runs to the East Palace seems to be the real beneficiary.

It is impossible for Xie Yi not to notice these detours afterwards, and maybe he will think that his little brother approaching him has bad intentions, so besides Wen Xing, he will lose another help.

The mastermind behind this is really ulterior motives.

Wen Xing suddenly felt that his heart had been thrown into the ice cellar, and the chill permeated his whole body.

Was his death in his previous life also due to a struggle for power?

Perhaps it was because he hindered someone's interests, such as the man he couldn't remember clearly, or Xie Yi.

Wen Xing's heart sank, and finally he focused on other things - except for finishing Fei Qing's matter as soon as possible, nothing else is important.

"How many people know about the assassin?"

Xie Yi suddenly asked.

Wen Xing thought for a moment, and then said: "The people I know so far should be the servants in the Eastern Palace, the imperial physician who just left, and His Highness the Sixth Highness."

Because of the urgency of the prince's assassination, when Wen Xing asked Fu Lu not long ago, Fu Lu said that he had only hurriedly brought an imperial physician over, and did not remember to explain the specific situation until he arrived in the East Palace.

It's not long since the imperial physician left, so it's still too late to send someone to chase after him.

An idea came to Wen Xing and Xie Yi's minds at the same time - follow the plan.

They exchanged a glance, tacit understanding.

The next day, the case of Fei Qing's embezzlement was still unsolved, and another moth broke out in the East Palace.

After the sixth prince went to the East Palace yesterday, he went back with red eyes and an aggrieved face, as if he cried a lot because of something.Not long after, the accompanying student who had followed the prince for more than ten years also seemed to have a conflict with the prince, and moved back to General Wen's mansion in a fit of anger.

From the time of the first emperor, everyone was allowed to discuss government affairs, so it didn't take long for rumors and rumors to spread in the court and among the people.

Some guessed that Wen Xing forgot his identity and bullied the sixth prince and fell out with the prince, some guessed that the sixth prince made a mistake and Wen Xing turned his elbows outward to overprotect the sixth prince, and some guessed that Feiqing's case was pending...

All in all, there are different opinions, and this matter soon became the topic of discussion among the people after dinner.

After all, this is about the prince of the dynasty, and there are more arguments about corruption than members of the patrol team.

However, Wen Xing, who was one of the parties involved, was leisurely nestling in his small yard, listening to Tang An's report of Manager Zhang's "death", the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Although Manager Zhang's "death" was covered up by the conflicts between him, Xie Yi and Xie Qing, it did not prevent some people from knowing the news.

The next step is to wait for the prey to relax its vigilance.

Wen Xing raised his hand, stopping Tang An's unfinished words.

"People have already left, it's okay." He glanced at the branches that were still shaking slightly even without the wind blowing, and he was in a good mood.

Tang An rolled his eyes, and stopped the words he had memorized by heart.There was a hint of worry in her eyes: "Can this really clear Fei's innocence?"

Tang An and Fei Qing are like natural enemies. Apart from quarreling and fighting when they meet, Tang An never wants to address Fei Qing respectfully.

Knowing that she was still worried, Wen Xing smiled reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, as long as you can go to another place and help me get something back."

Without even thinking about it, Tang An subconsciously asked, "Where to get what?"

Wen Xing lazily sat in front of the stone table in the yard with one hand on his chin, playing with the teacup in front of him boredly.

"Fei clears the room, the evidence."

Wen Xing and Fei Qing are close friends after all, so it is inconvenient to get involved too much in this case, before this they just took advantage of Xie Yi's convenience to quietly participate.

But Tang An was different, even her name "Qiu Jing" was only known to a few insignificant people.In addition, her camouflage skills are excellent, and it is perfect for her to pretend to be Fei Qing's maid to present evidence.

"My lord, my lord is letting me go to Feiqing's room?"

Tang An, who was usually cold, stuttered for a moment, and his expression became a little strange.

Wen Xing only thought that she and Fei Qing were at odds, and did not want to go to Fei Qing's private territory.He chuckled lightly and said: "Don't worry, there is nothing in Feiqing's room that will eat you. This matter is of great importance, and there is no one around me that I can trust, so I can only entrust it to you, and you have to make a trip. "

Tang An also understood the stakes, so he quickly calmed down and took orders to leave.

Seeing her calm back, Wen Xing suddenly sighed.

No matter what Tang An said, he was already twenty-nine years old. He always had a temperament of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and often couldn't see people. He wondered if he would be alone in the future.

After all, it was the little girl he picked up back then, and Wen Xing inevitably worried about her life's events.

He knew that such things depended on fate, so he didn't worry about it for long, he only hoped that she would return safely as soon as possible.

Wen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to get up and go back to his room, he heard a servant announce that Wen Yu had come.

"Brother is here?" Wen Xing was taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, he quickly asked his servants to let Wen Yu in.

After a while, a tall and mighty figure stepped into the courtyard gate.

Wen Yu followed his father, born with a fierce appearance, and has fought in the battlefield for a long time, always showing a faint majesty.

"Brother."

When Wen Xing saw someone, he hurriedly called out obediently.

Wen Yu didn't reply, just stared at Wen Xing.

"...Brother?" Wen Xing felt terrified when he looked at him, and asked softly again.

For some reason, Wen Xing felt that something was different about Wen Yu.

Wen Yu was brought back to his thoughts by Wen Xing. He lowered his eyes to cover his complicated expression, and said calmly, "It's nothing, I just came to see you. Why did you suddenly fall out with the prince?"

Wen Xing had already prepared various drafts for this matter, and after thinking about it for a while, he put on a sullen look and said, "It's nothing, it's just that disagreements created conflicts."

This matter is of great importance, Xie Yi has long ordered that no one else know except for the few people who are known, so Wen Xing will naturally keep it from Wen Yu.

I don't know how much Wen Yu believed Wen Xing's words, and after a while of silence, he said rather disapprovingly: "The prince is a prince after all, and you shouldn't quarrel with the prince if there is any conflict."

Wen Xing's expression softened a little, but he still couldn't help curling his lips and muttering: "That's because His Royal Highness is too unreasonable..."

"Then if the emperor does this, will you also contradict the emperor?" Wen Yu's cold eyes showed a trace of helplessness, "You are also in your twenties, and you are no longer a child. Remember your duty as a minister.”

From Wen Yu's last sentence, Wen Xing inexplicably heard some sarcasm.

Maybe an illusion?

Wen Xing didn't take this matter to heart, and reluctantly agreed.

After that, Wen Yu didn't linger on this topic for long, and left after a few words of concern for Wen Xing.

Wen Xing only regarded his brother's arrival as a small episode, and continued to wait for Tang An's return with peace of mind.
