Chapter 37: The Heart of a Man is as Deep as the Sea

Xie Anci had a thin layer of sweat on his face, his lips slightly parted, his hair stuck to his beautiful face, making him look a little wolfish and fragile.

Li Jinchen said in a cold tone, "The Regent King has been slack recently. He hasn't come to court for several times this month."

"It's my fault this time." Xie Anci knew he was wrong.

"Forget it. If it's sunny today, you can leave for South City tomorrow."

Xie Anci was stunned. So fast?

But thinking that he couldn't wait for this matter, he could only agree.

Then the Regent King should go back early today to pack up his things. I will wait for your news in the capital.

"Okay." Xie Anci nodded. His mind was in a mess. It would be better to leave the capital now. He didn't want to face Li Jinchen now.

Li Jinchen was a little confused about Xie Anci's unusually well-behaved behavior today, but he didn't think much about it. He didn't know why he felt guilty towards Xie Anci, so he quickly sent him back.

Xie Anci walked out of Yu's study, feeling dazed.

The sky was cloudless, and the dazzling sunlight made people dizzy.

It was as if the violent storm yesterday was just a dream.

Only the pain in his body reminded Xie Anci that what happened yesterday was not a dream.

"Regent..."

"Regent!"

A familiar voice came into Xie Anci's ears.

Xie Anci raised his head in confusion. It was the cold and elegant imperial teacher, Pei Xuan.

"Master Imperial Teacher." Xie Anci greeted politely.

"What are you thinking about, Regent King? I called you many times before you came back to your senses." Pei Xuan had a smile on his face, as if the winter frost had melted and everything was revived.

"No, nothing, I'm leaving for South City tomorrow and I'm thinking about what to bring." Xie Anci forced a smile, his fair face looked a little pale.

"Tomorrow? So soon?" Pei Xuan frowned.

He had heard that the Regent King would go south in person, but he didn't expect to leave tomorrow. This was too hasty.

Pei Xuan had a bad feeling in his heart, "Do I have to go?"

"Yes." Xie Anci nodded. He had already made a promise, so he naturally had to keep his promise.

"Then you have to be careful outside. I have a detoxifying pill here. Take it with you." Pei Xuan was a little worried. He took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Xie Anci.

The sandalwood bracelet on Pei Xuan's wrist was exposed because of the action. Xie Anci was surprised.

"This is..." Xie Anci grabbed Pei Xuan's wrist.

"Oh, this was given to me by someone before. I have been wearing it all the time." Pei Xuan quickly covered it with his sleeve, as if he didn't want others to touch it.

"This pill can detoxify hundreds of poisons. I hope you don't need to use it. Be careful outside." Pei Xuan stuffed the brocade box into Xie Anci's arms, and Pei Lin's voice came from not far away.

"Master, hurry up, the emperor is calling you."

"Take care." Pei Xuan looked at Xie Anci deeply and left in a hurry.

Xie Anci wanted to say something but had to give up. He packed the brocade box in his arms and left the palace.

Has he met Pei Xuan before?

Xie Anci was puzzled. Why did the sandalwood bracelet his father gave him before be with Pei Xuan?

Is it the same?

Or did he give the sandalwood bracelet to Pei Xuan?

Xie Anci shook his head. He really couldn't remember what happened before.

Xie Anci didn't think about it carefully and hurried back to the palace.

"My Lord, you came back so early today?" Butler Zhang asked when he saw Xie Anci was stunned.

"Well, tomorrow the king will leave for South City to repair water conservancy projects. Send a few people to help the king pack up his things."

"Okay." Butler Zhang was stunned. Why did he have to go to South City for no reason?

The regent king had almost never traveled far before. Could he handle the round trip?

"Where is Xie You? Hasn't he come back yet?" Xie Anci paused and asked.

Now he didn't know whether he wanted Xie You to come back or not.

He wanted to teach him a lesson, but was afraid of embarrassing himself when he saw him.

"No, he didn't come back." Butler Zhang was also very puzzled. Usually Xie You hardly left the house. Why did he go out for so long today and still not come back?

"By the way, where did you go last night?" Xie Anci felt angry when he thought of this.

He knew that Xie You must have sent the person away, but Butler Zhang didn't have any relatives, so why wasn't he at the palace?

"Yesterday, the young master said that he had earned some money, so he gave some to his servants to visit relatives. I had no relatives to visit, so I felt very sleepy after eating. I thought I would sleep for a while, but I didn't expect that I slept until the next day."

"My lord, did something happen? It's all my fault. I neglected my duty." Butler Zhang looked guilty.

How could the servants go to bed before the master comes back? Only his prince is kind-hearted.

"It's nothing, it's not your fault." Xie Anci frowned, fearing that Xie You had also drugged Butler Zhang.

This Xie You is really bold.

Xie Anci had nowhere to vent his anger and hurried back to the study.

Xie You, who was lying on the wall

, had a bitter look on his face. How could he dare to show up in front of Xie Anci now? Fortunately, the yard bought for him by the shopkeeper of You'an Building came in handy.

After helping Xie Anci clean up, he returned to the small courtyard next to the palace before dawn.

He was not sleepy after not sleeping for a night, but more awake. He kept thinking about everything that happened last night.

The way his adoptive father cried under him and the way his adoptive father struggled were deeply imprinted in his mind.

Xie You just lay on the bed with his eyes closed, looking at the ceiling. When he heard the movement in the palace, he turned over and lay on the wall.

He didn't expect to hear the news that his adoptive father was going to South City. Can his adoptive father's body withstand it?

Xie You felt a little guilty. He shouldn't have been so aggressive last night.

The journey to Nancheng was long. It would take more than ten days to get there. He didn't know if his godfather could handle it.

Thinking of this, Xie You jumped off the wall and returned to his own yard.

No, he had to follow too.

If Li Jinchen wanted to harm his adoptive father on the road, wouldn't his adoptive father be in great danger?

Xie You hurried to You'an Building and asked the shopkeeper to help him prepare the horse and the sled. He would quietly follow his adoptive father tomorrow.

The shopkeeper didn't know what was wrong with Xie You during this period of time. He wanted this and that. He could only listen to him and prepare things for him.

Fortunately, Xie You was not short of money, and there were shops opened by Xie You along the way, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Xie You was very confident in the shopkeeper's work, and he slept directly in You'an Building at night, planning to follow Xie Anci early tomorrow morning.

Looking at Xie You's leaving back, Xu Xiao, who was standing on the roof, sighed.

He didn't expect Xie You to be so brave that he wanted Xie Anci directly.

Did he stimulate her too much?

Xu Xiao shook his head. Anyway, his goal was achieved anyway.

The woman in red beside Xu Xiao didn't quite understand what Xu Xiao was going to do. He obviously liked Xie Anci, but he pushed her to someone else?

Men's hearts are as unpredictable as the sea.

Fortunately, money will not betray her. The woman chuckled. Love has nothing to do with her. She just wants to make money.
