Chapter 591: The Truth (4K Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Miss Sheng? Is Miss Sheng at home? Fan Changfeng came to the Sheng family's courtyard and patted the door of the tightly closed kitchen.
In the past few days, the bloody struggle of the high-level leaders of the imperial capital has also spread to Xiajia Village.
Everyone in the villagers is in danger, and no one dares to go out to fish, and most of them hide in their homes so as not to be affected by the pond fish.
The two younger brothers of the Sheng family also stopped going to school, and looked at the new house being built by the family with Ying Sleeve and Sheng Seventh Brother every day.
The people who built the new house were sent by the Ministry of Supervision and could not stop work for no reason, so these people were the only people still working in Xiajia Village.
Fan Changfeng knocked on the door for a long time, only to find that there was no one in the small kitchen.
Yingsleeve wore a hat and carried a fish basket from outside, and said with a smile: "Master Fan is here?" ”
Fan Changfeng turned around and saw Yingsleeve, and rushed over as if he had seen a life-saving benefactor: "Miss Sheng, you are back!" Come! Come with me! ”
"Where are you going?" Yingsleeve put down the fish basket, "I just went to the Liuli River to fish with my brothers. You're looking for me in such a hurry, but something's wrong? ”
"Of course there is!" Fan Changfeng's sweat came out, "I beg you, go...... Go and see Your Highness! I'm worried about how he's been lately! ”
“…… Are you talking about him killing Bai Jinglun? Yingsleeve walked to the small kitchen and opened the kitchen door.
The little hedgehog, Ah Cai, crawled from the depths of the kitchen and looked up at Yingsleeve.
Yingsleeve picks out a few small fish from the fish basket and throws them on its plate.
Ah Choi immediately went to eat the fish happily.
Fan Changfeng followed behind Yingsleeve and said bitterly: "Miss Sheng." You are the only disciple of our Highness, and now that the master has something, should the disciple be comforted? ”
"Master?" Yingsleeve looked back amusedly. "It's the political affairs of your Tianzheng Empire now, and it has nothing to do with our master-apprentice relationship, right?"
"That being said, however, Your Highness hasn't slept a day these days, and I don't know if we've eaten, and we're all worried. Aren't you worried? Fan Changfeng looked at his eyes and asked Yingsleeve. The meaning of worry is very obvious.
But Yingsleeve didn't believe it at all, so she put the fish in the basket into the bucket and raised it, and fished out another one. Put it on the cutting board and clean it up, scrape the scales, remove the gills, disembowel and guts, and finally put it in the water and wash it again, and soon clean up a fish. Place on a plate. Put shredded green onions, drizzle a little oyster sauce, put it in a pot and steam, while saying, "Who is Your Highness?" He was the first person in the Tensho Empire. There are so many people serving him, I don't believe that no one even cares about him eating and sleeping. ”
Fan Changfeng swallowed his saliva and sighed: "It was like this before, and I won't worry about it." But this time ......"
Ying Sleeve glanced back at him, and saw that Fan Changfeng wanted to speak and stopped. Said: "If Master Fan feels that it is difficult to speak, there is no need to say it." My brothers were back soon. Your noble business is busy, so I won't keep you. ”
I'm going to open my mouth to catch up with customers.
Fan Changfeng said helplessly: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, this time, it's really different." Because, the reason why His Highness is killing is because ...... He was murdered by the people around him, so he couldn't trust anyone and drove all the people around him away. Not only can people get close to him, but even we ...... He couldn't believe it and didn't let us come to the door at all. If you get within five feet of his mansion, you will be killed by him. Now, he lives alone in the Archon's mansion......"
Thinking that Xie Yanyan lived there alone, no one cared about him eating, no one cared about him drinking, and no one cared whether he slept or not, Ying's sleeve's heart hurt fiercely, as if something tugged at her heartstrings, so that she could no longer be indifferent and stay out of the matter.
The feeling came so quickly and urgently, she felt a little at a loss.
The hand that was stirring the firewood stopped.
Fan Changfeng caught a glimpse of Yingsleeve's face, knew that there was a play, and immediately said: "This time, His Highness was deeply injured, so his guard is also very deep." In addition to purging the empire of those who tried to kill him, he was also responsible for finding new people to fill those vacancies. He is a strict person, and there must be conclusive evidence to arrest people, and the appointment of new people must meet the requirements in all aspects, so he is very busy, and I am really worried that his body will collapse......"
Ying Sleeve put down the firewood, got up and turned around, looked at Fan Changfeng and said, "I can go and help take care of Your Highness, if Your Highness can trust me." ”
She had already heard Xie Yanyan's question.
Because he was betrayed by the people around him, he was suspicious of everyone.
If this was really the case, Ying Sleeve couldn't imagine what kind of betrayal Xie Yanyan had experienced to make him so paranoid and ruthless.
Xie Yanyan has always been a humble gentleman who abides by the rules of the law in Yingsleeve's heart, never careless of people's lives, and never uses power for personal gain.
From obeying the law to being careless about human life, it seems that there is only one turning distance.
It's really unreasonable.
"No problem! No problem! If Your Highness doesn't even believe you, then we really have no choice. Fan Changfeng was overjoyed and hurriedly asked her to go with him, "Actually, in addition to dealing with political affairs in the past few days, the only thing Your Highness has asked about anything that has nothing to do with the purge is about you." ”
"Me? Your Highness asked about me? Yingsleeve's heart sank, "What do you ask me?" Do you doubt me? ”
"No, no, no!" Fan Changfeng hurriedly waved his hand, "It's to ask if you're doing well." ”
An indescribable emotion suddenly rose in Yingsleeve's heart, like moving, warm, and satisfied, but more than that, it seemed like sourness, sadness, and unbearable.
This feeling was so strange that she hurriedly closed her eyes, shook off this feeling, and said, "I'll bring a few fish and make fish for Your Highness." Does Your Highness eat fish? ”
Fan Changfeng nodded again and again, and went out with Ying sleeves.
When I went out to the yard, I met the fifth brother Sheng and the sixth brother Sheng, who had just come back, and they came back with the seventh brother Sheng.
Yingsleeve hurriedly said: "I made the fish in the pot, you remember to take it out and eat it when it is steamed." I went out with Master Fan and came back in the evening. ”
Fifth Brother Sheng and Sixth Brother Sheng hurriedly said, "Fourth sister, come back early." We are waiting for you. ”
Yingsleeves responded, and followed Fan Changfeng to the capital.
She took Fan Changfeng's car and soon came to Xie Xianyan's consul's residence.
This was the first time she had come to the vicinity of Xie Xianyan's Archon Residence.
A tall palace-like building made of black and white stone. It looks more concise and clumsy than any house, but it's also more powerful.
Fan Changfeng didn't dare to get close, and roared from a distance of five zhang: "Your Highness! Your Highness! Miss Sheng has come to see you! ”
After a few shouts, there was no movement in the mansion.
Ying Sleeve thought that His Royal Highness the Archon was not in the house, or was in the house, but ignored them, so he did not open the door. Or maybe it's too far away to hear......
Just as he was about to tell Fan Changfeng to go back, he heard the big iron gate not far away creak and slowly open on both sides.
Fan Changfeng looked up in surprise. Seeing Xie Yanyan wearing a black military uniform, he came to them in an instant, and said to him indifferently: "You go." ”
Fan Changfeng hurriedly said: "The subordinates will leave immediately!" With that, he turned and hurried away.
Ying Sleeve didn't expect Xie Xianyan to drive them away. It's embarrassing. Just as he was about to follow Fan Changfeng to leave this place, Xie Xianyan didn't know when he had come to her, stretched out his big hand, clasped her wrist like an iron tong, and said coldly: "You come." Then without looking back, he pulled her step by step towards the big iron gate.
Yingsleeve was almost pulled in by him.
As soon as they entered, the big iron door closed with a thud.
Ying Sleeve caught a glimpse of Xie Xianyan's blood-red eyes, and gradually became uneasy. A heart mentioned his throat, for fear that Xie Xianyan would not be happy. And they beat her to death......
"You're afraid of me?" Xie Yanyan noticed the shrinking of Ying Sleeves and looked back at her.
Ying Sleeve closed his eyes, "You let me go first...... You...... Don't kill me...... I also have three younger brothers......"
Xie Yanyan said indifferently: "I won't kill you." Let go of Yingsleeve's wrist and walk forward without looking back.
Yingsleeve followed him into the mansion, and found it empty, with little furniture.
There was only a long soft chair in the middle of the hall, and nothing else.
Ying Sleeve looked around, not knowing where he should sit, so he had to stand beside Xie Xianyan and asked softly, "Your Highness, have you eaten?" ”
Xie Yanyan walked to the soft chair and sat down, still straightening his back, and said, "No." ”
Yingsleeve picked up the fish basket and showed it to Xie Yanyan: "This is the fish I just caught today, make a steamed fish for His Highness, and then make a fish soup, how about it?" Does Your Highness eat fish? ”
Xie Yanyan's eyes kept looking at her face, staring at her blushing little mouth.
He felt that he was actually a little hungry and thirsty, the Adam's apple in his throat rolled up and down, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his voice was hoarse: "Eat, you do it." ”
Ying Sleeve smiled, glanced at Xie Xianyan again, and found that his eyes were red, his face was very pale, Yangyue's lips were not bloody, and the whole person looked unusually tired.
At this time, Ying Sleeve remembered what Fan Changfeng had just said, her heart tightened, she took a few steps closer to Xie Yanyan, and asked worriedly, "Your Highness, you haven't eaten for a few days?" ”
Xie Yanyan thought seriously about Yingsleeve's question, bowed his head and said, "Five days? Or six days? I don't remember. ”
Yingsleeve: "!! ”
I haven't eaten for so many days, and I didn't starve to death a long time ago?!
Yingsleeve wanted to wipe her sweat, she didn't ask anymore, and looked around the room: "Where is your kitchen?" ”
"Over there." Xie Yanyan pointed to the direction of a door and said.
Yingsleeve walked out of the door, and turned a few more corners before finding the kitchen.
Without saying anything else, she immediately found the kitchen utensils she needed and began to clean up the fish, then find the side dishes and spices, and steamed the fish and the rest of the stew.
The kitchen of the Archon's Mansion is very large, and it has everything you need, so you don't have to go out to buy anything even if you have a banquet.
Therefore, Yingsleeve's cooking went smoothly.
Although she didn't help her, the cooked dishes didn't need much trouble at all, and she quickly cleaned up alone and waited for the fire.
She sat alone on her knees in front of the kitchen stove, and could see the fire inside.
The red fire of the stove reflected on her honey-colored skin, and her side face was very gentle.
Xie Yanyan followed, crossed his arms and looked at the kitchen doorpost for a while, then walked over, half-squatted beside her, stretched out his hand, and pinned a strand of hair that fell off her behind her ear.
Ying Sleeve raised his eyes, saw the thick red blood in Xie Yanyan's eyes, and sighed: "Your Highness, how long have you not slept?" ”
Xie Yanyan paused, frowning slightly, "It's been seven or eight days, right?" ”
So many days without eating, drinking, or sleeping?
People who are beaten with iron can't stand it, right?
Ying Sleeve was speechless for a long time, and said, "Then you go to sleep for a while." When the meal is ready, I'll call you. ”
Xie Yanyan shook his head, "I don't want to sleep, I'm here to accompany you." ”
"Why don't you sleep? You haven't slept for so long, and Iron Man can't hold it. Yingsleeve advised, "Go and sleep for a while." ”
Xie Yanyan was still expressionless, "I'll wait for you outside." With that, he turned and walked away.
Yingsleeve made steamed fish and fish soup and brought it out, and saw Xie Yanyan actually falling asleep on the soft chair.
But as soon as Yingsleeve came out, he woke up, opened his eyes, and followed her without blinking.
"Your Highness, the meal is ready, come and taste it, do you like it?" Yingsleeve took out a small bowl, served a bowl of rice to Xie Yanyan, and poured fish soup on him.
Xie Yanyan walked over, took the dishes and chopsticks from Yingsleeve's hand, and ate without saying a word.
He eats quickly, but is very well-behaved, and his manners are almost impeccable.
Not only did I eat the steamed fish cleanly, but I even drank the fish soup.
Yingsleeve smiled, got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks for him, and said, "Your Highness, after eating, you can go sleep for a while." I packed my things and went back. ”
"You're leaving?" Xie Yanyan raised his head, "Aren't you here to accompany me?" ”
“…… My three younger brothers are still waiting for me at home. Yingsleeve said tactfully, but seeing Xie Xianyan's reluctant eyes, Yingsleeve had no choice but to say again: "I will come back tomorrow to cook for His Highness." ”
"Sit with me for a while, just sit for a while, and then I'll send you back." Xie Yanyan looked up at her intently, although his gaze was still cold, but when he looked at her, he was still trying his best to restrain her.
Yingsleeve was a little embarrassed, for now, she was still more concerned about the children of the Sheng family, so she had to persuade euphemistically: "Your Highness, what about your family?" Do you have any relatives or friends? If you feel that the house is empty, you can pick them up and live with them. ”
Xie Yanyan sat up straight, looked at the empty hall in front of him, and said lightly: "I have no family, and I have no relatives or friends. ”
Yingsleeve: "......"
"Someone told me that I was destined to be a loner by birth, and that I would not have any relatives and friends, only subordinates and enemies." Xie Yanyan said with a hint of confusion, his eyes looking straight at the empty hall in front of him.
"Nonsense!" Ying Sleeve immediately retorted, "Your Highness, don't listen to this kind of nonsense. His Highness is a good man and treats us very well. If His Highness is willing, many people are willing to be friends with His Highness. We all wish His Highness good health and a long life. ”
Xie Yanyan glanced at Yingsleeve with some surprise, "Really?" ”
"Really."
"Will you tell me the truth?"
"I've never lied...... Your Highness ......" Ying sleeves shrunk his neck, and said insincerely.
It suddenly occurred to her that she was actually ...... Also deceived this Archon His Highness.
Looking at His Highness's blood-red eyes with confusion, Ying Sleeve felt a palpitation, and lowered his head weakly, not daring to look at his eyes again.
Xie Xianyan looked at her steadily, and said, "Then you say, should I kill those people?" Why is Fan Changfeng afraid when he sees me? Am I doing something wrong? I can swear that every move I make is strictly in accordance with the Code! ”
