When hundreds of Jin Wuwei went straight into the Yang family's courtyard, and without saying anything, they coldly took away all the scholars involved in the case, and the faces of the other scribes were all slightly pale. The soldiers who were taken away by them were even more panicked, or weeping and shouting, or howling for mercy, or passing the buck to each other, and for a time they were full of ugliness, which made people unbearable to look at.

Even Yang Qian, Yang Zhuangtou, Zheng Qin, and Zheng Zhuangtou have never experienced such a scene. In the face of force, all words are pale and powerless. From the beginning to the end, the Jin Wuwei regarded them as nothing—indeed, they were just civil officials of the eighth/nineth/grade, and they could not be counted as anything in front of the fourth rank and the fifth rank of the Zhichong Lieutenant and the Guoyi Commander. And their fame means nothing to the military attachés.

The armor and horizontal swords worn by these sturdy and tall Jin Wu guards all reflected the cold light, and the faces of the two heads seemed to be a little less bloody. Although Du Chongfeng was not a prisoner, he was also taken away with the soldiers who were sitting around him because he could testify from the side. He glanced back, his gaze crossed over Yang Qian and Zheng Qin, and fell on the prince behind the crowd. Wang Zixian looked at him from afar, his expression extremely indifferent.

At this moment, no one spoke, no one even moved, and the entire Yang family courtyard seemed to fall into a strange silence.

In the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace, it is still a spring of harmony. The saint, whose anger has temporarily subsided, is taking his two daughters and nephews to learn calligraphy and sharpen his mind together. While Princess Changning was teaching Princess Yong'an to grab a pen and paint, the sage suddenly asked in a low voice, "Xuanqi, how do you think this matter should be resolved?" ”

Li Hui pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Uncle, the child feels that the source of the rumors must be found out in order to completely quell this matter. Otherwise, just by curing these few, there will be no other people chewing their tongues behind them, and they will be endless. There are only more than 1,000 scholars with provincial examination qualifications, and traces can always be found after checking and checking. "Only by making this matter as big as possible can we play a role in killing chickens and monkeys. Of course, blindly forcing pressure is not good for Zixian's reputation, and it is best to find another way.

"Although I have ordered the three divisions to investigate strictly, they may feel that this is just a small case. If you despise this case, there will always be negligence - Xuan Qi, it is better for you to take this case with Inspector Jingxing, what do you think? The saint asked casually, and the words were still round and composed, without any distraction.

Li Hui stopped writing and said hesitantly: "Uncle, the child and cousin have never experienced it. This matter is so important, and it is a case to be handled...... If it's a business trip cuò......"

The sage picked up the cinnabar pen, circled out the words he had written poorly, and smiled lightly: "This is the experience of the two of you." It's already sixteen years old, and it's time to learn to share my worries, so let's start with this matter. If you do it well, I will give you something that is lacking; If it is not done well, continue to supervise the case and accumulate some experience. Otherwise, how can I explain to my second and third brothers, if I watch you do nothing every day, or when you play ball with the bunch of gentlemen in the clan all day long, or when you stay in the house all day without going out? How can I explain to my grandfather? ”

"Uncle trusts the child so much, the child will do his best, and will never disappoint the uncle." Li Hui had to promise.

Seeing that he still seemed to be a little nervous, the sage pointed out again: "Don't worry, you don't have to interfere with their case, but you have to ask them how they are doing at any time." In particular, confessions must be reported to me as they are, and if someone confesses something inexplicable, they must not be taken lightly. After that, he sighed again, "The reputation of your cousins and sisters is all tied to this case, and there must be no misfortune." ”

"Save the child." Li Hui heard the meaning of his words, and secretly said in his heart: It was really not his illusion, and there may be deeper schemes hidden behind these rumors. Princess Anxing endured it for so many years, and finally couldn't wait to start moving. However, if she waits until she starts to act, it will be too late, and she can only use it as a pawn involuntarily. Chasing and purchasing, she can only find the abandoned son she has abandoned.

Hopefully, this case will disrupt her plans a little, even if it is just to make her unhappy for a while, and she must not always have the upper hand. If she can't do what she wants, and if she's in a hurry to calculate, it's easy to go on a business trip, and that's their chance. Of course, for him, the most important thing in this case is not Princess Anxing, nor is it those plausible layouts - but doing his best to protect Prince Xian, and Princess Changning, who was innocently implicated.

It was not until after the curfew that Li Hui returned to King Pu's mansion in the ox cart in the palace. Because of the escort of the palace people and Qianniu guards, the patrolling Jin Wuwei and the Wuhou of Yankang Fang were released all the way. And after he returned to the mansion, he ordered Zhang Fu's mother to reward these escorts and leave them to rest in King Pu's mansion.

At this time, the snow fell from the sky, and the fierce cold wind whistled like a knife. When the wind blows the snow on people, it is like a cold blade cutting intermittently, which is really not pleasant. However, the palace people and Qianniuwei still politely rejected the kindness of Pu Wangfu, and still insisted on returning to the palace to report. Li Hui was not reluctant, and ordered the subordinates in the palace to escort them out of Yankangfang and then return.

When he returned to the main courtyard of the West Road, Wang Zixian was standing quietly in front of the corridor of the dormitory, looking at him from afar. The lights were bright behind him, and the silhouette of his body had a dim and warm glow, but the expression on his face was hidden in the darkness, as if it blended in with the night. Even so, Li Hui still seemed to be able to feel his feelings at this moment from his gaze.

For his apologies, worries, and concerns, and for his anger, even cold and outright killing intent. Such a contradictory and complicated relationship actually appeared in a close friend who has always been a gentleman, which made him feel incredible, but it seemed to be extremely taken for granted. No matter who encounters such a thing, it is absolutely impossible to remain absolutely calm, let alone forgive those opponents who intend to destroy him.

And Wang Zixian looked at Li Hui who was approaching step by step almost greedily. He had been waiting here for a long time, and when Li Hui's figure appeared in front of the hospital in a blur, before he realized that it was the person he had been waiting for for a long time, he instinctively burst out with a sense of surprise and strong affection in his heart. And it wasn't until Li Hui gradually approached and finally bathed in the light that he reluctantly reluctantly retracted the affection that overflowed in his sight.

Li Hui's gaze involuntarily fell on the tired layer of snow on his body: "Why don't you go in and wait?" Relying on his strong body, he tosses himself like this, is he not afraid of the cold? After that, he couldn't help but help him dust off the snowflakes on his head and shoulders: "It's not your fault that this matter is not your fault, why do you stand in the snow and ask me for guilt?" ”

Although he knew that he was just a naughty smile, Wang Zixian still replied with a wry smile: "No, I am naturally at fault for this matter. Xu is too smooth lì recently, I am indeed a little slack, and a little too arrogant. I thought that I could use the rumors to provoke Yang Qian to deal with Zheng Qin and make them lose both, but I didn't want them to silently link up to deal with me-heh, I really look down on me. ”

"They are all aware of the threat you pose, and they are afraid that you will come after you, so they want to work together to get rid of you." Li Hui pushed him into the hall, the warm breath came to his face, and the limbs and bones seemed to be resurrected, "I have to say that the timing and method they chose were indeed very unexpected, and they almost ruined you - however, I will never allow them to hurt you, and I will never make their wishes come true." ”

It will not be tolerated...... It will not be tolerated......

Wang Zixian turned around abruptly and hugged him into his arms: "Xuanqi, thank you......" He would never know that when he heard this, it took a lot of effort to control the sudden surging affection; He would never have known that when he was upheld today, the joy in his heart was greater than his anger in an instant; He would never have known that he would never get rid of him in this life and in this life, nay, forever and ever.

Xuan Qi, in this life, in this life, forever, in this vast sea of people, only you protect me, and the rest of your wishes are enough. And I will definitely protect you at all costs, so that you will not be hurt by anyone, so that you can live as you please, and you will no longer be shackled by anyone or anything.

Li Hui was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then glanced at Mother Zhang and the maids who were still in shock, and then very slowly wrapped around the prince's thin and powerful waist - and then, His Royal Highness the King of Xin'an County coughed a little embarrassed: "The ...... of the Hu clan Etiquette? ”

The prince closed his eyes, rested his chin on his shoulder, and smiled slightly: "Yes, the etiquette of the Hu people." Xuan Qi, you learn quickly. ”

"......" Li Hui was speechless for a while. In fact, he really didn't want to learn, but he just felt sorry for his best friend being misunderstood in front of everyone, and it didn't end well. If more people were to see him, it would be enough to remind him of the time when he was forced to throw himself into the arms of his grandfather or grandfather - the feeling of being loveless and shameless - and it would have been necessary to prohibit someone from practicing such nonsense etiquette.

“…… May I ask how long this kind of etiquette will take to be practiced? ”

"You can travel as long as you want, so you don't have to be too tight."

"Zixian, you can let go."

“…… It's a pity ......" The prince chuckled and curled the corners of his lips.

Li Hui glanced at him: "It's time for us to talk about business." He motioned for Zhang Fumu and the others to step down, and then went to the bookcase and wrote down the names of Yang Qian and Zheng Qin. After thinking for a while, he wrote down Du Chongfeng's name again: "Zixian, you don't seem to be worried about your future at all?" ”

"It's not a desperate situation yet, so there's really no need to worry." The prince's expression was more relaxed than his, "What's more, Xuanqi, don't you want to protect me?" ”

Li Hui raised his eyes and looked at him seriously for a long time: "You haven't drunk today, have you?" "Why is your temperament so changeable? It's completely different from the past, as if you have encountered something very happy, so you lose your temper?

Wang Zixian smiled and shook his head: "Okay, don't mention these naughty jokes." Xuan Qi, you should have a countermeasure, right? Let's listen to it and see if we have a good idea. ”
