Chapter 6 He Doesn't Regret
The housekeeper brought Lu Yunzheng to Xie Anci's room. Xie Anci was still sleeping, and Xie You was taking care of him.
When Xie You heard Lu Yunzheng coming, he quickly stood up:
"Prime Minister."
"Well, what happened to the Regent?" Lu Yunzheng nodded and walked to the bed.
When he saw Xie Anci, who was pale and unconscious, he frowned immediately.
"What happened?"
Who could hurt Xie Anci?
"Nothing, it's just that my adoptive father encountered a gangster last night and was accidentally injured." Xie You naturally couldn't tell Lu Yunzheng the truth, which was related to his adoptive father's reputation.
"Who is so bold? How dare he hurt the Regent?" Lu Yunzheng clenched his fists with an angry look on his face. If he caught the gangster, he would skin him alive!
"They are already dead. My godfather should wake up soon." Xie You tucked the quilt for Xie Anci.
Xie Anci is proficient in both civil and military affairs, and he is in very good health. He should recover quickly.
Xie You was envious and jealous of the young man in front of him.
He envied Lu Yunzheng for being able to help his godfather, and he was jealous of the relationship between the two as both a teacher and a friend.
"Hmm..." Xie Anci moaned and woke up slowly.
The pain spread throughout his body, not only in his back, but also in his waist and legs.
He hasn't felt pain for a long time.
"Godfather!"
"Regent! Are you awake?"
The two men rushed over.
When they saw the two enlarged handsome faces, Xie Anci pushed them.
Knowing they had lost their composure, the two men stepped back.
Xie Anci struggled to get up, but his whole body seemed to be falling apart and he couldn't use any strength.
Xie You quickly helped him up and put a small quilt behind him.
Just getting up took all of Xie Anci's strength, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he remembered that he seemed to have fallen asleep in the carriage last night, and he hadn't had time to wash the things in his body.
Xie Anci's face turned pale. He felt so good on him now. Was it Xie You?
Did he know?
"You go out first. I have something to say to the Right Prime Minister." Xie Anci said to Xie You with a cold face.
"...Yes." Xie You paused, bit his lower lip, and walked out reluctantly.
His adoptive father was in a bad mood just now. Was it because he did too much last night?
But he couldn't bear to see his adoptive father having a fever all the time, nor could he bear Li Jinchen's thing in his adoptive father's body.
Xie You returned to his room with a troubled mind.
Lu Yunzheng looked at the expressions of the two people just now, and always felt that things were not that simple.
"What time is it now?" Xie Anci asked, his voice a little hoarse.
"One quarter after noon." Lu Yunzheng replied.
Xie Anci nodded, and seeing that Lu Yunzheng was still wearing his official uniform, he knew that he had come here as soon as the court was over.
"Prince Regent, are you okay?" Lu Yunzheng said worriedly.
Didn't Xie You say that the Prince Regent had met a gangster? But why was the Prince Regent's voice hoarse? It seemed like his throat was injured.
"It's okay. Did anything happen in the court today?" Xie Anci knew that Lu Yunzheng was smart, but if he didn't want to say it, Lu Yunzheng wouldn't ask more.
"It's nothing. The emperor didn't seem to be in a good mood today."
"The left prime minister wanted the emperor to select beauties, but the emperor suppressed him."
Lu Yunzheng said this to make Xie Anci happy. This means that there is still a possibility for the emperor and the Prince Regent.
Xie Anci chuckled when he heard this. He knew that Li Jinchen hated the men and women in the harem.
Before, with him suppressing him, Li Jinchen was also happy and comfortable.
Since he is not here today, I can only suppress it myself.
But the Left Prime Minister is really something, he is so ambitious at such an old age?
"Regent, the Left Prime Minister Nangong Boyu is now in the court, and I heard that the young General Gu will also be recalled by the emperor tomorrow."
"The emperor is calling him back now, I am afraid he wants to deal with you." Lu Yunzheng was a little worried, and he was afraid that he would not be able to sit firmly on the position of Regent in the future.
"Tomorrow?" Xie Anci thought about it, these days passed really fast.
The young General Gu that Lu Yunzheng was talking about was Gu Lingyu, the legitimate son of the general's mansion. Their family was guarding the border.
Before, Gu Lingyu led people to destroy a bandit's lair, and also found out the enemy's spies in the army.
Li Jinchen was delighted and directly appointed Gu Lingyu as a general.
Xie Anci chuckled. Li Jinchen and Gu Lingyu grew up together. These two things were just excuses. It was only a matter of time before Gu Lingyu was appointed as a general.
Now that Gu Lingyu had come to Beijing, there was no doubt that the two of them would unite to deal with him.
Xie Anci sighed. How long could he stay in this position?
How long could he suppress Li Jinchen?
Once Li Jinchen gained power, he would probably kill him, right?
Xie Anci smiled bitterly. The relationship of more than ten years was a joke. He had forced it. It was time.
"That's right, but don't worry, Regent. I will always keep an eye on their movements." Lu Yunzheng knew that Xie Anci was also worried that the emperor would seize power.
Once the emperor seized power, their end would probably be "death."
Lu Yunzheng was not afraid of death. If it weren't for Xie Anci, he would have died once.
No matter what, he would protect Xie Anci, even if he lost his life.
Lu Yunzheng made up his mind secretly.
"It doesn't matter. People will always grow up. I also want to see my own end." Xie Anci shook his head lightly, with relief in his tone.
"Regent..." Lu Yunzheng hesitated.
"I will go to court tomorrow. It happens that I haven't seen Gu Lingyu for a long time. It's a good opportunity to go and greet him." Xie Anci said with a smile, as if he was going to greet a friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"But for your health, you should rest for another day." Lu Yunzheng saw that Xie Anci had difficulty getting up just now, and he must have been seriously injured.
"No problem, you go back first, is your mother okay?" Xie Anci asked casually.
"Everything is fine, thank you for your concern, Prince Regent." Lu Yunzheng bowed.
"Well, go back." Xie Anci waved his hand, obviously not wanting to say anything more.
"Yes, Prince Regent, take care." Lu Yunzheng knew that no one could persuade Xie Anci to make a decision, so he stopped persuading him and left.
After Lu Yunzheng left, Xie Anci called the servant outside the house in with a cold face.
"Go and call Xie You over." Xie Anci's beautiful face was covered with a layer of frost.
The servant trembled and replied respectfully: "Yes."
The pain in his body reminded him how ridiculous he had done, but he did not regret it.
Li Jinchen will be his sooner or later, and will definitely be his.
When Xie You learned that Xie Anci called him, he was both surprised and nervous. He
didn't know what his adoptive father was thinking.
Xie You came to Xie Anci's bedroom with a complicated expression.
He knocked on the door gently, and a hoarse and frosty voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Xie You lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly at Xie Anci, and bowed respectfully.
"Adoptive father."
"Well, get up." Xie Anci stared at Xie You.
The hot gaze made Xie You unable to ignore it, and cold sweat flowed down his handsome cheeks.
Xie You's Adam's apple rolled, and when he raised his eyes, he bumped into Xie Anci's half-smile eyes.
