Chapter 29 Watching a Play

After the soldiers left, Xie Anci turned around and ran into a familiar embrace.

"Adoptive father..." The young man's voice was tender and gentle.

"You'er? Where have you been? It's curfew and you haven't come back yet. I think I haven't punished you for too long." Xie Anci pushed Xie You away. Although he was relieved in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface.

Xie You chuckled, "I just went out for a leisurely stroll with my friends and forgot the time."

"Huh, go wherever you want, what does it have to do with me?" Xie Anci pushed away Xie You who was clinging to him, got on the horse and tightened the reins.

Xie Anci looked down at Xie You, and waited for a while but the young man didn't move.

"Why don't you get on the horse? What time is it?" Xie Anci said unhappily.

"Hey, I'm here." Xie You happily got on the horse, sat behind Xie Anci, and held him in his arms.

Xie Anci twisted his body uncomfortably, but fortunately he was not very resistant to Xie You's touch.

The two of them walked towards the Regent Palace in silence.

The sound of horse hooves hitting the bluestone street, and the moonlight stretched the figures of the two people very long.

The two seemed to be in the awkward period after a quarrel, and no one spoke for a while.

After a long time, when they were about to reach the Prince Regent's Palace, Xie Anci suddenly said,

"You'er, do you really want to enter the government?" Xie Anci lowered his eyes, making it difficult to see his expression.

"Adoptive father, I want to." He wanted to follow his adoptive father forever.

"Let's talk about this later. Do you have any young lady in the capital that you like? If you do, your adoptive father will help you marry her."

As soon as Xie Anci finished speaking, he felt a chill on his back.

Xie You stared at Xie Anci's back with a dark look in his eyes, "If you don't like anyone, don't worry about it, my adoptive father, I have someone I like."

Xie Anci raised his eyebrows, "Who is it? Can't you tell me?"

"You will know." Xie You said in a muffled voice.

Xie Anci: "..."

The two of them returned to the palace. Xie You led the horse, "Godfather, you go back and rest. I'll send the horse back to the stable."

"Well, rest early." Xie Anci said, yawned and left.

A dreamless night.

Xie Anci got the news that Emperor Suishu of Cangyue Kingdom was coming early in the morning. He went to the palace to find Li Jinchen and found that he already knew about it.

"I already know about this." Li Jinchen closed the document and threw it on the table.

"I'm afraid he has ulterior motives for his sudden visit." Xie Anci reminded.

"I know, there is still a long time, and we can deploy slowly." Li Jinchen didn't care much. He now had Gu Lingyu and Zhou Yunqing by his side, and he immediately felt much more at ease.

In any case, he would no longer fight alone.

"Just make the arrangements." Xie Anci lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

While the two were talking, a quarrel suddenly broke out outside the door.

"Who is outside?" Li Jinchen asked unhappily.

Outside the study, who is quarreling outside?

How can this be?

"Your Majesty, it's... Young Master Zhou and Concubine Nangong." Eunuch Sun paused and replied.

Xie Anci heard this with a look of watching a good show on his face, "Then Your Majesty must go out and take a look, lest the two get hurt."

Xie Anci drank a sip of tea slowly, with a half-smile on his face.

Li Jinchen knew that Xie Anci was teasing him when he saw his expression, and had no choice but to get up and open the door.

"Why are you making a fuss here?" Li Jinchen's face was gloomy, and he glared at Nangong Ya unhappily.

Nangong Ya's eyes were red with grievance. Why didn't the emperor glare at Zhou Yunqing, but only at her?

"Your Majesty, I just met Mr. Zhou at the door. Mr. Zhou wanted to enter the study without reporting, so I pulled him back."

"He said that I was meddling in other people's business, and that it was your Majesty who let him come in casually."

Nangong Ya spoke first, accusing Zhou Yunqing.

Zhou Yunqing lowered his head, looking like he was about to fall, and looked very weak.

Xie Anci pouted his lips. It was really a coincidence that these two people bumped into each other. Neither of them was a good person.

The harem was lively.

Xie Anci smiled, but his eyes suddenly collided with Zhou Yunqing.

The man looked at him with a smile.

Xie Anci's expression froze. The previous experience made him feel very disgusted.

And this was Zhou Yunqing's purpose, he was taking revenge on him and hating him.

Xie Anci adjusted his expression and looked at several people.

"You are indeed meddling in other people's business. I did let him enter the study at will." Li Jinchen's words almost made Xie Anci choke.

Li Jinchen was really straightforward.

Nangong Ya's face turned pale. She thought she could cover the sky with one hand after entering the harem.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yunqing appeared again.

This Zhou Yunqing might be more difficult to deal with than Xie Anci.

I heard before that the emperor's sweetheart was Zhou Yunqing, but Xie Anci didn't know where she was taken a few years ago.

Everyone said that Zhou Yunqing must have been killed by Xie Anci, but no one expected that he was not dead but was found.

Nangong Ya's eyes were full of frost. It was okay if the emperor didn't like Xie Anci, but the emperor and Zhou Yunqing loved each other.

Her current position in the palace is very embarrassing, but fortunately, the emperor needs to have children, and she just wants to give birth to a dragon son for the emperor.

"Your Majesty..." Nangong Ya sniffed and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty, I know that Mr. Zhou is pitiful, but it's not good for Mr. Zhou to live in the palace all the time. What identity does he have to live here all the time?"

Nangong Ya smiled sarcasticly.

If you have the ability, you can take Zhou Yunqing into the harem, but this is probably more painful for Zhou Yunqing than killing him.

If a man is not really poor or really likes a man, I am afraid no one would want to commit himself to another man.

"What does the Regent think? It's really beneath the status of Master Zhou to live in the palace without knowing why." Nangong Ya looked at Xie Anci innocently.

Xie Anci, who was watching the show, was suddenly called by his name and was stunned for a moment.

Nangong Boyu's daughter is really great. Did she think that her methods over the years were fake?

Now it has become Zhou Yunqing and Li Jinchen who are watching the show. Nangong Ya is really brave to drag Xie Anci into it.

"I think this is a manifestation of the emperor's benevolence. Now that Mr. Zhou has no residence, the emperor is a good friend of Mr. Zhou, so he naturally wants to help."

"On the other hand, you have been here to sow discord between the emperor and Mr. Zhou. What is your intention?"

"Also, for forcing the emperor to accept you as his concubine at the palace banquet, do you really think that others are a fool?"

"Your Majesty, I think the left prime minister is negligent in discipline, so let me discipline his daughter for him." Li Jinchen was inspired by Xie Anci's words.

He knew that Xie Anci would want to teach Nangong Ya a lesson, but he didn't expect that he would still want to do it.

Nangong Ya turned pale and shouted: "How dare you! My father is the prime minister, you can't touch me!"
