Chapter 61 Care

Xie You took Zhang Pingan to live in the house next to the Prince Regent's Mansion.

But Butler Zhang's condition was not good. He was in a coma. Xie You tried everything and kept him alive with expensive medicines, but he still lost weight. His condition did not improve at all.

Xie You was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. He wanted to send a letter but was stopped by the shopkeeper.

Now the capital was full of guards, waiting in every corner.

"Young Master... When will the Prince Regent come back?" Butler Zhang lay on the bed, gasping for breath.

Xie You quickly stepped forward and squatted beside the bed, "Don't worry, butler, godfather will be back soon."

"Ahem... I'm afraid I won't be able to see the Regent King for the last time." Butler Zhang had tears in his eyes, and he really wanted to see the Regent King for the last time.

"Butler Zhang, don't think too much, just take good care of your illness, and when you are well, you can see godfather as long as you want." Xie You comforted Zhang Pingan.

He was also afraid that Zhang Pingan would die at this time, and godfather would definitely be sad.

"Young Master, I know my body, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive until the prince comes back." Butler Zhang sighed, and his voice became weaker and weaker.

Xie You held Butler Zhang's hand tightly: "No, Butler Zhang, you will definitely get better."

Butler Zhang shook his head slightly, his face full of despair: "The prince is also a pitiful person. His parents died when he was young, and he struggled to get to his current position, but..."

It's just that the word "love" can mislead people and hurt people.

Before he finished speaking, Butler Zhang started coughing violently again.

Xie You quickly patted his back: "Butler, please don't talk, have a good rest." Xie You

watched the weak Butler Zhang fall asleep before getting up and leaving.

Rubbing his forehead, Xie You was in a state of confusion, and didn't know what was going on with his adoptive father.

At the dining table,

Gu Lingyu's face turned green as he looked at the vegetables piled up into a small mountain in front of him.

"You know I hate eating vegetables the most." Gu Lingyu knew that Xie Anci was definitely doing it on purpose, and said with gritted teeth.

Xie Anci picked up a piece of fish meat and put it into his mouth with an elegant posture, "So what? Eat more vegetables and don't be picky."

Didn't he ask him to serve him?

It depends on who can outlast the other.

Xie Anci's eyes were slightly curved, and a charming arc was drawn.

But the more you look at that smile, the colder it makes people feel.

"No! I don't eat..." Gu Lingyu said as he was about to pick it up.

Xie Anci hurriedly said: "You don't want me to serve you? If you dare not eat, I will no longer take care of you."

Gu Lingyu: "..."

So Gu Lingyu endured the vomiting and ate all the vegetables in the bowl.

At night,

Gu Lingyu was bathing, and Xie Anci stood beside him with his arms crossed, staring at him leisurely.

Gu Lingyu felt creepy when he was stared at.

"What are you looking at? Why don't you help me change clothes?" Gu Lingyu's face flushed, and he turned his face away unnaturally.

"Are you sure?" Xie Anci raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, it's a great honor to have the Regent King serve me once." Gu Lingyu was looking forward to

it in his heart. It would be great to have Xie Anci, who has always been arrogant, serve him!

Xie Anci chuckled, stretched out his hand and quickly stripped Gu Lingyu clean.

Gu Lingyu stood there in a trance.

He imagined that Xie Anci would be shy and timid, but that was not the case at all.

The mood that Gu Lingyu imagined was shattered by Xie Anci, and he could only sit in the bathtub obediently like a puppet.

However, in the middle of the bath, Xie Anci "accidentally" drowned him in the bathtub more than once.

"Okay... okay, I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself!" Gu Lingyu raised his hand quickly. He was wrong. He didn't ask Xie Anci to take care of him, but to harm him.

"Can you do it yourself?" Xie Anci asked "worriedly".

"Yes, yes, the Regent is busy with all kinds of affairs, so you should go and get busy." Gu Lingyu wiped the water off his face and hurriedly drove Xie Anci out.

Xie Anci didn't stay, and walked out without looking back after seeing that he had achieved his goal.

After returning to the study, he said to the servant beside him: "Call Lord Wei and Zuo Sikong."

"Yes." The servant answered and ran out.

Winter will come in a few days, so the weather is getting colder and colder. Xie Anci also put on cotton clothes.

The candlelight flickered, and the man's delicate face became hazy.

Xie Anci looked at the map on the table intently. Before long, Wei Chen and Zuo Sikong came over.

"Prince Regent, why did you call us here?" Wei Chen and Zuo Sikong bowed respectfully.

Xie Anci said in a deep voice: "I have read the account book. Zuo Sikong is indeed not corrupt, but the governance effect is not good."

"This... is my stupidity. It is my fault." Zuo Sikong broke out in a cold sweat in this cold late autumn.

"Forget it. We'll have to do our best later." Xie Anci waved his hands.

"Yes, thank you, Prince Regent!" Zuo Sikong breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've looked at the map. It's not enough to just build dams here. It's better to drain than to block. We can set up flood diversion areas in the surrounding low-lying areas to divert the flood."

"We also need to regularly clean the river and widen it every year so that the flood can flow smoothly."

"......"

The two listened carefully.

"Prince Regent, this method is very good. I will send people to dig the flood diversion area tomorrow." Zuo Sikong and Wei Chen looked at each other with burning eyes, and their bodies were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Zuo Sikong." Xie Anci crossed his legs and looked at Zuo Sikong with a smile.

"Yes." Zuo Sikong hurriedly bowed and replied respectfully.

"If you can't be cured this time, you don't have to go back. You can go back when you are cured."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zuo Sikong responded hurriedly.

Xie Anci told the two of them his idea and they set about implementing it.

As Gu Lingyu's injuries had not healed yet and it was difficult for him to ride in a carriage, Xie Anci had been watching the progress of digging the flood diversion area in the south city.

He would always go to inspect for a while during the day and go back to "take care" of Gu Lingyu at night.

Xie Anci did not expect that Gu Lingyu was so patient that he actually let him "take care" of him for ten days.

After that, Gu Lingyu rested for another half a month before he was fully recovered, and it was almost the end of the year.

Xie Anci and Gu Lingyu packed up their things and planned to return to Beijing.

Wei Chen and Zuo Sikong were reluctant to leave.

"The journey is long, Prince Regent, take care." Wei Chen bowed.

"Take care, Lord Wei." Xie Anci curled the corners of his mouth.

He didn't know what he would face when he returned to Beijing this time.

Xie Anci's right eyelid kept twitching these days, and he always felt that something bad was going to happen.

Even Gu Lingyu calmed down, looking at Xie Anci with a guilty look.

Li Jinchen might have already taken action, what will Xie Anci face when he returns?

Now that he knows the truth, should he tell Li Jinchen?

Gu Lingyu was also quite troubled, and his mood was far from being as relaxed as when he came. Instead, it seemed as if he was carrying a heavy weight.
