At night, the prince left Xie Qingheng for dinner, so he stayed in the East Palace for a while.

By the time I returned to the prison, it was already dark.

There were no evening classes in the prison, and most of the students had already rested.

When Xie Qingheng returned to his residence, he was still thinking about what happened at the dinner table just now.

Today, the prince not only kept him for dinner, but also entertained the prince and several other adults.

Xie Qingheng is a newcomer next to the prince, although the prince values him quite much, but after all, he has no fame, and now he has no help in the court, and the prince will not ask his opinion too much about many things.

If he wants to gain face in front of the prince and make the prince trust and even rely on him, he has to find a way to do something to make the prince have a green eye for him.

Xie Qingheng thought about things in his heart, pushed open the door and walked directly to the bed, and just when he lay down on his side, he sensed something under him, and before he could react, he heard a miserable scream.

Xie Qingheng was so shocked that he turned over and said sharply: "Who?!" ”

"It's me, ouch......"

Pei Geng's face was so blue that he was pressed down, and he almost didn't lose his breath just now.

Xie Qingheng hurriedly walked to the side, lit the candle with a fire fold, and waited for the room to light up, then he saw the chubby Pei Geng getting up from his bed, covering his thighs and grinning.

Xie Qingheng's face darkened: "Pei Dazhuang? What are you doing in my room? ”

He thought he was a thief!

Pei Geng was pressed against the flesh on his leg just now, and he bared his teeth while rubbing it:

"What kind of face do you have, do you think I want to come, it was your Ruan Ruan sister who asked me to bring you a letter."

"I thought you should come back and wait for you in your room, but who thought that it would be dark and I didn't see you."

Pei Geng thought that Xie Qingheng would not come back tonight, and waited for him to doze off, so he simply slept with him, anyway, they usually didn't sleep in the same room.

But who would have thought that he was sleeping soundly, he was gnawing on a roast chicken in his dream, and suddenly a boulder pressed on his chest and almost didn't crush him, and the roast chicken turned into a monster with a bloody mouth that wanted to devour him, and Pei Geng was also so frightened that he woke up.

Immediately, the soft flesh on the thighs was pressed, and the pain was heartbreaking.

Xie Qingheng heard that it was Su Ruan who sent the letter, and frowned: "What about the letter?" ”

When Pei Geng took out the crumpled envelope from his chest, he directly got Xie Qingheng a roll of his eyes.

Xie Qingheng hurriedly opened the envelope and took out the stationery inside.

The letter was very empty, and there was a sentence written on it, "Be careful of Shi He", and there was nothing else.

Xie Qingheng frowned tightly.

Shi He, he naturally knew who it was, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

The Xie family has nothing to do with Shi He, he has never met Shi He, and Shi He will not do anything to him for no reason, but Su Ruan will not tell him inexplicably to let him be careful of a person who is like a stranger.

Unless......

This is about the prince?

"What did Su Ruan write to you?" Pei Geng stepped forward to take a peek.

Xie Qingheng didn't hide it, and directly unfolded the letter to him.

Pei Geng was suddenly surprised after seeing it clearly: "Shi He? Shi Shangshu? What did Su Ruan do to make you watch out for him? ”

Xie Qingheng shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Pei Geng touched his round chin, thought for a while and said: "I remember, Shi Hefu and the Cao family seem to have some in-law relationship, and the two families are quite close, is Su Ruan afraid that after the Cao family suffers a loss, Shi He will take the opportunity to take revenge for the Cao family?" ”

Xie Qingheng was stunned: "There are in-laws between the Cao family and Shihe Mansion?" ”

"That's right, Cao Li's sister is the wife of the Shi family's third son-in-law."

"Cao Li was quite close to Shi He's son before, haven't you seen it once? It's that Shi Dongfeng, he was supposed to be this year's tribute, but he got into trouble last year and was sent out of the capital to avoid trouble. ”

"When he left, Cao Li went to see him off, and it just so happened that we were at Songshan Pavilion that day."

As soon as Pei Geng said this, Xie Qingheng suddenly remembered this.

At that time, a few of them also said that Shi Dongfeng was too unlucky.

In fact, what he did was not a big thing that hurt heaven and reason, but when he was shopping in Qing/Lou, he had an argument with someone and hurt someone, but he happened to be caught, and he was caught by someone from Yushitai.

The Shi family worked hard to save the people, but afterwards they had to send them out of the capital to avoid disaster.

Xie Qingheng rubbed the letter paper with his fingertips.

Shi He has a relationship with the Cao family, but now the Cao family is on the cusp, and it was not easy to go to the Xie family to apologize before Cao Yu's matter was suppressed, Cao Xiong was disgusted by the emperor, and he didn't even go to the court, the Cao family should not let Shi He stand up for them at this time, and then provoke trouble.

But Ruan Ruan will not mention Shi He for no reason.

Xie Qingheng's heart was silent for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that he heard the prince mention the corruption case of King Rui involved in the household department in the East Palace today, and it seemed to say at that time that King Rui sent the witnesses he found to the criminal department?

Gu Min, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, is the prince's person, Shi He is the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the prince said before that he wants Gu Mincai to find an opportunity to make a big deal about those witnesses......

Xie Qingheng was fiercely clever, and his face changed suddenly.

He got up suddenly, startling Pei Geng.

"What are you doing?"

Pei Geng patted his chest, "Shocked, are you going to scare people to death?" ”

Xie Qingheng didn't speak, but turned around and put the letter on the candle flame and burned it directly, and saw the letter turn into black ash and fall down, Xie Qingheng got up and walked out.

Pei Geng hurriedly said: "Hey, it's so late, there is a curfew in the city, where are you going?" ”

Xie Qingheng said: "I have something to go to Taifu's mansion, don't tell others about Ruan Ruan's letter to me." ”

Pei Geng said: "I know, Su Ruan told me, and specially asked me not to tell Ah Tang." ”

Xie Qingheng heard this: "That's good." ”

Pei Geng saw Xie Qingheng hurriedly taking the cloak he had put down before, turned around and walked out of the room, he hurriedly chased after him and shouted: "By the way, she asked me to tell you, so that you have time to go back to your house in the next few days, she has something to look for you." ”

"Got it."

Xie Qingheng replied casually, and walked into the night without looking back, and disappeared in an instant.

Pei Geng looked at the empty room, and then at Xie Qingheng back and gone, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice:

"It's mysterious, and I don't know what I'm doing, so I said that I can't get it with the prince, I get up earlier than a chicken, and I'm tired like a dog, and I'm not as comfortable as before, and I don't know what he's trying to do."

Pei Geng whispered in his mouth, walked back to the room, and didn't bother to go back to his residence, the quilt was cold.

He collapsed towards the bed, pulled the warm quilt to cover himself, and then spread his hands and feet and sighed comfortably.

"It's still comfortable!"
