Chapter 34: It's all about acting
"What? I'm not going! I'm not going to kill me now!" As soon as Wei Xi heard the news, he immediately ran to the bed and lay down under the quilt before the herald came in, making a very weak appearance.
When the subordinates who conveyed the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Wang Chengchen entered the house, they saw Wei Xiwan lying on the bed weakly being helped up by the maid, his lips were pale, he raised his hand tremblingly, and said a little breathlessly:
"I ...... Wechen unfortunately contracted a cold...... Ahem...... I'm afraid I'm going to be sick in bed...... Half a month!"
After Wang Chengchen's men left, Wei Xiwan immediately sat up straight on the bed, took the wet towel handed over by Qiao Er, wiped off the white powder that he had just wiped on his mouth, and swept away his sickness, looking like a person who needs to be sick in bed for half a month.
"My lord, isn't it a good thing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lifted your grounding and summoned you?" Qiao Er asked puzzled.
"If I guessed correctly...... Wei Xiwan squinted his eyes and paused, looked at Qiao Er and said, "The prince is afraid that he wants me to investigate the assassin case, do you think I can go?"
"Uh...... Then you really can't go if you say this, but the last time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the adults to check the theft of the treasury, no one else could find out, so you found out the clues, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought that the adults were talented, and this time he remembered to let you check again. Joel said with a smile that she also believed that her family was capable.
"Hehe......" Wei Xiwan heard that he didn't turn his head and laughed a few times, and said helplessly: "That's not all my own ......"
"Huh?" Joel flashed her big bright eyes, waiting for her to continue.
"I ...... I'm just lucky. Wei Xiwan's eyes rolled around, and decided that it was better not to let her know, maybe it would not be good for Qiao Er to know these things.
"Yes, yes, your luck is the best, my lord. Qiao Er smiled and took the towel that Wei Xi had wiped his mouth just now.
"Alright, you go get busy. ”
"Yes. Joel bowed slightly and exited the room.
In the palace, Wang Chengchen, who heard the return of his subordinates, was not shocked, and was still staring intently at the game of chess in front of him.
Su Yilin, who was on the opposite side of the chessboard, kept playing with the jade chess pieces in his hand, pondering interestingly.
"You lost. The deep voice reached Su Yilin's ears, and he came back to his senses and found that the ingenious chess game he had just carefully arranged had been solved by Wang Chengchen.
"You...... How could it be so fast!" Su Yilin threw down the chess pieces in his hand unconvinced, "One more game!"
"Okay. Wang Chengchen nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the person opposite him seemed to have forgotten that he had never won against him.
"Wei Xi is there late, let her recuperate for half a month, and then send someone else to investigate the assassin's matter. Su Yilin suddenly said to Wang Chengchen.
"Huh?" Wang Chengchen showed an elusive smile, "Did I say that she should be asked to investigate the assassins?"
"Isn't it?" Su Yilin's tone was a little surprised, he thought so, he believed that Wei Xiwan also thought so, "I thought you were going to train her to become Nancheng Di Renjie." ”
"It's your turn. Wang Chengchen dropped the first chess piece and did not answer Su Yilin's question, and he couldn't see anything else in his eyes except for the contemplation of the chess game.
"What the hell do you want to do?" Su Yilin muttered in his heart, he even had times when he couldn't guess his thoughts.
In less than half a pillar of incense, Su Yilin, who was defeated again, threw away in a negative mood, leaving the chess game in front of him that was besieged by Wang Chengchen Jedi and had no way out.
Su Yilin left the palace, and went straight to Wei Xiwan's place, and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he happened to see this woman who claimed to be seriously ill in bed, sitting in the courtyard with a set of tea sets on the stone table in front of her, drinking tea.
"Yo, Master Wei's illness is indeed not light! he is so haggard all of a sudden, and he is so neat all of a sudden, it's really a strange disease, I'm afraid his life will not be long!" Su Yilin sighed as he walked towards Wei Xiwan, but he was faced with a flying teacup.
"Who's dying? Are you threatening me?" Wei Xiwan glared at the hippie smiling man in front of him, he probably had already guessed that the so-called assassin was her.
Su Yilin quickly turned sideways and steadily caught the teacup, walked to the opposite side of Wei Xiwan and sat down, and poured a cup of tea with the teacup to himself.
"I said you tea...... Why does it feel better than my house?" Su Yilin wanted to ask this question for a long time, from the first time he drank Wei Xi's late tea, he felt that this tea had the smell of Zhilan, and after drinking it, the tip of his tongue was slightly sweet, and a tea fragrance slowly touched from the end of his nose to his throat, which was absolutely extraordinary.
"Because...... Tea is like the owner, maybe my character is better. "Just kidding, of course it's because I'm richer than you!" Wei Xiwan secretly laughed in her heart, she spent a lot of money and effort for these teas.
"Really?" Su Yilin smiled and didn't care about Wei Xiwan's ridicule.
He is not a person who likes tea, and he doesn't care too much about this, but he simply thinks that the tea she has here is more delicious, and it can be compared to the ones given to him by the crown prince Wang Chengchen.
"Aren't you going to explain it to me? Be careful if I sue you in front of the prince, and you'll be done with the game. ”
Seeing that Su Yilin finally spoke, Wei Xiwan also planned to stop hiding it.
"That...... Master Su, I was bored with the little sword practice that night, so I just walked around, it was really just a stroll, but I was accidentally treated as an assassin......"
Wei Xiwan poured a full cup of tea for Su Yilin with a smile, with a serious expression, "As for being seriously ill, if you say that I am seriously ill, I will be seriously ill!"
Although she concluded that Su Yilin would not denounce her, otherwise why would he come here to make a special trip, he could have said it directly in front of Wang Chengchen.
But when he should please, he still has to please, otherwise one day when he thinks about it, he will shake out all his own things, and it will be very troublesome.
"That's what good is that for me?" Su Yilin just wanted to embarrass her.
I'm afraid that she will be more presumptuous in the future, lawless and disorderly, and there is nothing wrong with letting her owe herself a favor. He wants to see what he wants now, and how Wei Xiwan, who has nothing to do now, can return his favor.
Although in fact, he believed that Wei Xi had no malice in visiting the palace at night, with her temperament, it was understandable to stay in this small courtyard for half a month, and sneak out for a walk in the middle of the night.
Seeing Su Yilin's treacherous face, Wei Xiwan thought for a while and said resolutely with the concept that problems that can be solved with money will never owe favors:
"Five catties of tea!
