Chapter 2 Returning to the mansion, meeting the Imperial Master on the way

I don’t know how long it has been, Xie Anci is like a boat drifting on the sea.

He seemed to be unconscious for a while, but was awakened by the pain again.

The white sheets were stained with blood, and Xie Anci’s face was flushed.

The gray light shone into the dark dungeon from the small window, and Xie Anci knew that the sky would soon be bright.

Looking at Li Jinchen who was working hard on him, Xie Anci knew that he would soon regain consciousness, and the Li Jinchen who disliked him before would come back.

"Jinchen..." Xie Anci raised his head with a gentle expression, he wanted to kiss Li Jinchen's lips.

At least once...

But when Xie Anci was about to touch Li Jinchen, Li Jinchen closed his eyes and turned his head to avoid him.

"Jinchen..."

Xie Anci's face turned pale, Li Jinchen woke up?

Li Jinchen turned to look at Xie Anci, his confused eyes gradually became clear.

After seeing the situation clearly, he raised his hand angrily. Xie Anci shrank back in fear and pulled Li Jinchen, whose face turned livid.

The slap didn't fall after all. Li Jinchen stood up without hesitation, picked up the crumpled clothes on the ground and turned away.

"Jinchen! Jinchen..." Xie Anci stretched out his hand to grab him. He was afraid of men like this.

It was more painful to remain silent than to be scolded.

After enduring a night of torture, Xie Anci was exhausted both physically and mentally, and grievances suddenly surged in his heart.

Two lines of tears flowed across his beautiful cheeks, and Xie Anci covered his face.

He really failed. He was always strong, but he actually cried in the dungeon.

After a while, Xie Anci calmed down. Just when he wanted to get up, he pulled the wound. The pain made him black.

His whole body hurt...

It hurt as if he had been beaten.

Xie Anci got up with difficulty, picked up the clothes stained with a little dust on the ground, and put them on slowly.

It was not yet completely light at this time. No one should have seen Li Jinchen's appearance just now, right?

Xie Anci couldn't help but sneer. Wasn't it his fault that Li Jinchen was like that?

Now he was worried about him?

He was so self-admiring. Wasn't he the evil guy?

Xie Anci put on his clothes and tied his belt without any hesitation.

Just the wrinkles on his clothes and his messy long hair showed that he had encountered something.

Xie Anci came out of the dungeon. He had evacuated all the people here. There was no one on the road, and Xie Anci breathed a sigh of relief.

Although his reputation was already very bad, he still wanted to maintain his self-esteem.

Limping in the palace, Xie Anci dared to say that this was the first time he was so ruthless.

Xie Anci lowered his head and endured the pain in his body.

He just wanted to go back home as soon as possible. He wanted to go back and take a bath.

His anxious mood made him speed up his pace.

Bang!

The cool fragrance penetrated into Xie Anci's nose, and Xie Anci fell to the ground like a wall of flesh.

Xie Anci's face turned pale and he got up quickly.

"Are you okay?" A cold and gentle voice sounded above his head.

Xie Anci raised his head and met a pair of eyes that were as clear as an ancient well, without any sadness or joy.

The man in front of him had a cold fragrance, long white hair draped to his waist, a pair of slightly upturned phoenix eyes, and a white brocade robe that was spotless.

He seemed like a god who had fallen into the human world.

"Regent Prince..." The man was obviously a little surprised when he saw Xie Anci clearly, but it was not obvious.

Xie Anci recognized him, the current imperial teacher, Pei Xuan.

Xie Anci did not have much contact with him, and only met him occasionally when there was something important to discuss.

Pei Xuan also lived a secluded life and was almost never seen in the palace. I don't know why he appeared here at this time.

Xie Anci frowned. He didn't like dealing with this kind of people. In Xie Anci's words, they felt mysterious.

Xie Anci might have done too many bad things, and he felt guilty when he saw the imperial teacher.

"Are you okay?" Pei Xuan was a little surprised to see Xie Anci with messy hair and wrinkled clothes.

Xie Anci was always meticulous and had never lost his composure like this.

"It's okay." Xie Anci frowned. He felt really uncomfortable. He was not in the mood to greet Pei Xuan here.

"I have something to do. I'll leave first." Xie Anci said, and left the place quickly.

Pei Xuan turned his head to look at his back, as if there was a strange smell.

Pei Xuan has always been aloof and doesn't care much about others, so naturally he didn't take this matter to heart and walked to find Li Jinchen.

Xie Anci walked to the palace gate and got on the carriage before he breathed a sigh of relief, "Go back to the mansion."

Xie Anci collapsed on the carriage after he finished speaking. The carriage was large enough to accommodate six or seven people.

Xie Anci's face flushed and he curled up in the seat.

Although he used despicable means to get Li Jinchen, he knew that Li Jinchen would hate him even more from now on.

Fortunately, this carriage has good privacy, and no one dared to touch his carriage as the regent king. Xie Anci closed his eyes at ease.

He fell asleep directly after closing his eyes.

The carriage moved slowly until it stopped in front of the palace.

"Your Highness, we're here." The driver said nervously to Xie Anci in the carriage.

However, the carriage was extremely quiet and no one responded.

"Your Highness..." The driver was embarrassed. The Regent was always cruel. Should he wake him up or not?

He was afraid that Xie Anci would chop him to death if he was not satisfied.

The driver stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.

"What's wrong? Where's my godfather?" A man with a deep voice came to the driver and asked with a frown.

"My lord, the prince is inside." The driver pointed to the carriage.

This young man is Xie Anci's adopted son, who has been raised since childhood. Xie Anci is nearly thirty years old, and has no wives, concubines, or children.

After all, although no one says it openly, everyone knows that Xie Anci likes the current emperor.

Xie Anci's parents died on the border when Xie Anci was in his teens because of protecting the country.

So everyone is also very sad. How could such a good old prince and princess give birth to Xie Anci?

For Li Jinchen, he harvested power in the court, and now most of the court is controlled by Xie Anci.

The power in Li Jinchen's hands is pitiful.

The public's eyes are sharp, but someone read the manifesto about Xie Anci in the street, and now the grass on his grave is as tall as a person.

From then on, no one dared to speak out against Xie Anci.

The young man in front of him, Xie Ci'an's adopted son, Xie You, was picked up by Xie Ci'an outside.

Maybe he suddenly had a kind heart, or maybe he was just in a whim, so he kept him by his side.

"You go first, I'll take a look." Xie You felt a little strange. His adoptive father would never lose his temper like this, and he had never slept in a carriage. How could he fall asleep?

And his adoptive father did not come back last night, so why did he come back this morning?

Doesn't he have to go to court?

"Oh, okay, thank you very much, young master." The coachman ran away as if he had been pardoned.
