"It's the Marquis." Xie Qingyao smiled and greeted him softly, "Come in quickly."

She didn't open the door, so He Zheng moved nimbly and climbed in through the window.

"Is everything done?"

"Well, Wei Yian was thrown into a mass grave."

“A nice place.”

Xie Qingyao's gaze fell on He Zheng. He was dressed in black, wrapping himself tightly, which made his broad shoulders and narrow waist look more prominent, and his figure was upright.

nice.

Suddenly she saw the blood on He Zheng's boots and asked curiously, "Why is there blood?"

Xie Qingyao raised her eyes, "They want you to do it yourself?"

He Zheng took a step forward, approached Xie Qingyao, and held her soft hand.

Xie Qingyao's breathing was slightly stagnant, and she was puzzled: "Why--"

But He Zheng lowered his head and kissed her.

Xie Qingyao's face flushed and she swallowed the rest of her words.

No, no, she has to resist the temptation of male beauty!

She wouldn't fall for such a simple and crude way of changing the subject.

A moment later, when He Zheng held the back of her neck and gave her a gentle and long kiss... Alas, Xie Qingyao couldn't resist it in the end.

Forget it, it’s not a big deal, so just don’t ask.

She put her arms around He Zheng's neck and kissed him proactively.

For a long time, Xie Qingyao curled up in the quilt, her hair disheveled, as if she had just been pulled out of the water. She leaned lazily on He Zheng's arm, her hand held by him.

He was like a human heater, very warm. Xie Qingyao moved her butt closer to him and wrapped her legs around his waist.

A hint of darkness flashed across He Zheng's eyes.

Xie Qingyao whispered, "I told Tan Er to feed Wei Yi'an a poison I found from my father. After he took it, the imperial physician couldn't find any signs of poisoning."

He Zheng said, "It's very similar to the poison that Li Qianluan was poisoned with."

Xie Qingyao nodded: "Yes, it's an enhanced version. Wei Yian will die of the poison in less than two months. These two months are enough for the Marquis to realize his value, right?"

A good chess piece should give its full value.

He Zheng touched her head and said, "That's enough. Yaoyao understands me."

Even if some things were not discussed in advance, she always had the same ideas as him.

This is what people call telepathy.

He Zheng suddenly lowered his head and kissed her forehead again, "The real show is about to begin."

Xie Qingyao chuckled and said, "Look at them biting each other."

He Zheng's thin lips moved: "Go to sleep."

Xie Qingyao slowly closed her eyes.

That night, the capital city was in turmoil because the youngest son of King Longxi was missing.

Such a big man, with a group of followers around him, seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace.

At first, the King of Longxi thought that Wei Yian had gone to some shady place to do something wrong, and did not take it seriously. It was not until dawn that the people he sent out could not find Wei Yian.

The King of Longxi felt a pang in his heart and had a bad premonition.

I'm afraid something has happened.

"Keep searching for them all. If they're alive, I'll find them. If they're dead... I'll find their bodies!"

"Go and look for him. If you can't find my son, you will all pay with your lives."

Suddenly, many people searching appeared in the streets and alleys of Shangjing City, and the news of the disappearance of the second son of King Longxi spread like wildfire.

"Shangjing City has always had good public order and a very good moral character, with few thieves. How could someone disappear for no apparent reason?"

"That's right. The welcoming banquet was just the day before yesterday. I didn't expect that the person would be missing last night. It's strange."

"Who knows, maybe the youngest son of the King of Longxi offended someone he shouldn't have, and that's why..."

"Shh, stop talking now, or someone might hear you and chop off your head!"

This incident not only alarmed everyone in the Longxi King's Courtyard, but even the Zhenguogong Mansion sent a large number of people to search.

Just when King Longxi was feeling discouraged, the person was found.

"Reporting to the prince, the young master is..." The servant hesitated to speak.

The King of Longxi kicked him and roared, "Stop hemming and hawing, and speak!"

The servant said with pain, "We found it at the mass grave, along with the dozen or so followers."

Mass grave?

"This king, this king's son!" The King of Longxi felt a pain in his chest and took two steps back.

The servant hurriedly said, "Your Highness, calm down. The young master is still breathing. He's still alive, but his body is bruised all over, and all the fingers on his right hand are broken..."

His right hand was disabled? He suddenly became disabled. I'm afraid he will never be able to ride a horse again, or write with a pen.

But at least he is still alive, which is a blessing in disguise.

After the servants brought Wei Yian back, King Longxi hurried to ask Emperor Jinde to send an imperial physician to treat his youngest son.

The imperial physician trembled and said, "The young master's injuries are not serious. He will recover after some rest. However, the injury to his right hand cannot be saved."

There was another thing that the imperial physician found strange: why was Wei Yian's pulse extremely weak?

The injury wasn't serious, but he exuded a deathly aura, as if he would be buried soon.

The imperial physician did not dare to say this, for fear that the King of Longxi would be angry with him. Even if the King of Longxi asked him to treat the disease, he would not be able to do so.

Because there is no disease to be diagnosed, there is no way to start.

The imperial physician wrote a prescription and left.

At this time, the Duke of Zhenguo also hurried over and asked, "How is Yi'an doing?"

The King of Longxi frowned. "The imperial physician said there's nothing serious. Even if his hand is crippled, that's fine. He won't be needed for anything in the future. He still has his elder brother in Longxi, so he can just be a leisurely young master."

The Duke of Zhenguo nodded slightly, "Do you have any clue who did it?"

"There were night patrols in Shangjing City, and more than a dozen followers were knocked down. Such a loud commotion must have alerted the patrol."

The King of Longxi waved his hand, his face livid: "I just sent someone to investigate, and the patrols found nothing unusual."

"Let's wait until Yi'an wakes up and ask him about everything."

But these two people didn't know that when the King of Longxi said "Longxi still has his elder brother", Wei Yian had already woken up.

Oh, the eldest brother is the crown prince, so he, the second son, is only fit to be an idle playboy?

As long as his elder brother is around, his father will never see him as the youngest son.

The next day, King Longxi brought Wei Yian, who was still injured, into the palace.

Purple Extreme Palace.

A lot of people stood there at once.

Emperor Jinde was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a solemn expression. He said slowly, "I have heard about what happened to Prince Wei."

The King of Longxi said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for my son."

Wei Yian's body was about to fall apart. Enduring the pain all over his body, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

Emperor Jinde nodded and said, "Tell me the truth, and I will make the decision for you."

Wei Yian suddenly raised his head, his eyes cold and murderous, "Your Majesty, this must have been done by the Marquis of Anguo."

After these words were spoken, the whole hall fell silent.
