Chapter 20: Confession
The shredded sunlight sprinkled on the face, a little warm, and with the unique fresh smell of sunlight, mixed with a hint of jasmine. Phantom Tong woke up slowly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw An Xiruo sleeping with his head tilted and his arm resting, and the picture of the middle of the night broke into his memory again, and he unconsciously reached out but touched his lips.
But Huantong forgot about the wound on his back, and when he raised his hand, he touched the wound, and a piercing pain spread from his back to his chest.
"Shhhh
"Ah, you're awake. How does it feel, is the wound still painful? Looking at the grinning Phantom Tong, An Xiruo was excited and worried.
"It's okay, it's okay." Phantom Tong shook his head, originally planning to faint for a few more days, but it seems that he must come to his senses now.
An Xiruo carefully helped Huantong up, he had been lying down all day, and Huantong didn't want to continue lying down. After a little relief, my back didn't hurt so much.
At this time, I found that An Xiruo was wiping tears beside him.
"You, what are you crying about.
"I'm so afraid you won't wake up, your life is worth more than mine, why save me."
An Xiruo lowered her head, not wanting Huantong to see the red and swollen appearance of her eyes.
"What a stupid thing to say. Whether you like the Third Prince or not, I am willing to continue to like you and protect you. ”
Huantong's smile is like the warm sun in early spring, which can melt the glacier and caress the green river willows, so bright that people can't take their eyes off it.
"The Third Prince? Why do I like him......" An Xiruo suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, opened his mouth, his eyes widened, staring at Huantong, "You...... Just...... Say what...... Like me? ”
An Xiruo suddenly thought of what happened last night, and was a little at a loss for a while, sitting in the chair and not knowing what to do, tidying up his sleeves for a while, and brushing his hair for a while.
"So, last night, you ......" An Xiruo stumbled when he spoke, wanting to ask but feeling unspeakable.
Seeing An Xiruo's embarrassment, Huantong felt that it was better not to put too much pressure on a little girl.
"Last night? What's going on? "I like that I have already said it, and Phantom Tong has no intention of taking it back, but what happened last night, Phantom Tong still decided to pretend not to know.
Finding that Huantong had no impression of the events of the night at all, An Xiruo felt relieved, but while breathing a sigh of relief, he felt empty in his heart.
But An Xiruo didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so he didn't explore why he felt by himself.
"You have a good rest, I'll go find Dr. Xu and help you take a look." Not wanting to sit awkwardly here, An Xiruo made an excuse and left in a panic.
Looking at An Xiruo, who was fleeing in the wilderness, Huantong felt cute and tight, and couldn't help laughing. But he didn't want to be happy and sad, and the wound was touched, and the painful expression immediately replaced the smiling face.
And at this moment, Dali Temple is simply a Shura field. He Qing, the secretary of Dali Temple, looked at the two big Buddhas on the left and the right under the hall, and only felt that his official chair was very hot, making people unable to sit still.
"The third prince, the fifth prince, we have already tried this person yesterday, but they said that they only went to make trouble because they saw that Situ was not pleasing to the eye. I went to the trial yesterday in person, and there is nothing new. ”
He Qing was also very distressed, it was originally a simple small case, why did it make such a big fuss, and even the princes came to care about it one by one. He looked to the left and to the right, but in his heart he wondered if the black gauze hat on his head could be kept.
"Lord He, this palace knows that you have done your best, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something strange in this matter, you see, is there any other way?"
The third prince's tone was modest, and there was no sense of reproach, which made He Qing feel a little relieved, and his black gauze hat could be saved.
"The third brother is right, Huantong has only been in the imperial capital for a few days, how can he have the opportunity to provoke those people, someone must have instructed him. Lord He, please go to the trial again. ”
The fifth prince sat there fiddling with his fan, and after listening to the words of the third prince, he also stepped forward to talk. He Qing was shocked, this was the first time he had seen these two princes standing on the same front. Shocked to shocked, but he couldn't snub the two princes.
"What the two highnesses said is reasonable, and the minister thought about it for a while, this main envoy must be someone who Situ Counselor has been in contact with recently. I heard that the staff leader was very conscientious, and when he arrived in Kyoto, he went to the White Tiger Camp, could it be that the person we were looking for was in the White Tiger Camp? ”
He Qing, the Dali Siqing, is not in vain, after so many years, he still has a certain ability to judge cases. This is also the reason why Huantong asked Lian'er to go to Dali Temple to make trouble, because he believed that He Qing could find out the Tian Shu hidden behind the scenes.
Although he stays at the Tongjiang border all the year round, Situ Hao has been talking to Huantong about these things about these people in Kyoto, so Huantong is very familiar with these officials.
"White Tiger Battalion? Then we will go and arrest all the people in the barracks and interrogate them one by one. With that, the five princes had already stood up and were ready to go to the White Tiger Camp to arrest people.
He Qing wanted to step forward to stop him, but he hesitated whether his identity could stop the five princes, and when he was struggling, the third prince had already spoken.
"Why is the fifth brother doing things so roughly, if we go to the people, wouldn't it be a startling snake."
The fifth prince "cut", sat back, and put away the folding fan, "The third brother said, what should I do." ”
"What else can be done with ready-made prisoners in prison." The third prince has always looked down on the fifth prince, so naturally he doesn't want to talk to him in detail.
The fifth prince was very annoyed when he saw the arrogant face of the third prince, if it wasn't for his father's arrangement, he wouldn't want to come out with this old-fashioned third brother. He rolled his eyes and stopped talking.
The two princes froze there, and the most painful thing was He Qing, both of them were princes, and he was the greatest, but he didn't know how to break the frozen situation.
"Now...... To be tried? After hesitating for a long time, He Qing cautiously spoke, and his voice echoed in the empty hall, making people feel extremely gloomy.
"No, let's find a few people first." It was the Three Princes who spoke.
His Highnesses were willing to speak, and He Qing felt much more comfortable, and his voice became much lighter.
"Whoever you are looking for, I will send someone to find it now."
"Those bastard kids."
What the three princes said was faint, but He Qing and the five princes were terrified when they heard it.
"What are you looking for?" In the heart of the fifth prince, the third prince has always been a ruthless brother, but he never thought that his brother would attack the child, and it was a little difficult to accept it for a while.
"After finding it, don't be harsh, prepare a comfortable room, put some delicious and fun food, and let them play in it." The third prince did not intend to answer the question of the fifth prince, but only continued to give orders to He Qing.
He Qing was also confused, but the order issued by the prince was just executed, and he didn't think much about it, so he directly ordered his subordinates to do it.
The third prince was leisurely drinking tea, and the fifth prince was still playing with his folding fan, leaving only He Qing still uneasy.
