Chapter 64 After returning to Beijing
Seeing Xie Anci losing control like this, Gu Lingyu felt a pain in his heart.
"What happened?" Gu Lingyu hugged Xie Anci's shoulders and comforted him softly.
"He wants to kill me... He actually wants to kill me..." Xie Anci closed his eyes, tears falling from his delicate face.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the heartache and calmed himself down.
"You mean the emperor? Impossible!" Gu Lingyu didn't know why, he felt that although Li Jinchen hated him and disliked him, he would not kill him.
Xie Anci sneered and handed the yellow silk in his hand to Gu Lingyu.
[The Regent King Killed]
The handwriting on it was exactly the same as Li Jinchen's.
Gu Lingyu searched for a long time but could not find any flaws.
"Anci, you have to believe the emperor, he would not do this." Gu Lingyu defended palely.
"With this handwriting, and the yellow silk used exclusively in Yu's study, who else could it be but him?" Xie Anci said coldly.
"Could it be that someone else could have stolen the yellow silk from Yu's study and imitated Li Jinchen's handwriting?"
The answer seemed to be self-evident.
Xie Anci put away the Yilan sword, jumped on his horse, and headed straight for the capital.
He wanted to ask Li Jinchen why he wanted to kill him in this way, he could obviously issue an imperial decree to put him in prison.
Seeing this, Gu Lingyu hurried to catch up.
Xie Anci rode his horse and rushed to the capital without stopping. It took only three days to reach the foot of the imperial city.
Gu Lingyu caught up with him from behind, "Anci, you'd better not go to the palace yet, I'll go get some information first."
Gu Lingyu was not sure whether Li Jinchen was responsible for the assassination, so for Xie Anci's safety, he should let him wait.
"No, I'm going to the palace to see the emperor now." Xie Anci's eyes were firm, and her beautiful face was full of determination.
Gu Lingyu had a complicated expression. He didn't want Xie Anci to go to Li Jinchen, but Xie Anci was too stubborn and would not listen to his advice.
Xie You, who was in the capital, rushed to the city gate as soon as he heard the news that Xie Anci had returned.
The shopkeeper hurriedly followed, but the two of them did not find Xie Anci.
"Did you see which direction the Regent went?" Xie You asked, picking up a person next to him.
"He went to the palace." The stall owner waved his hand and pointed in the direction of the palace.
Xie You stood there in a daze. He didn't expect that the first thing his adoptive father did when he came back was to look for Li Jinchen.
The young man clenched his fists, with a dark and lonely mood in his eyes.
"Boss, why don't you go back and wait. As soon as the Regent comes out, I will take him to your mansion." The shopkeeper smiled bitterly. During
this period of time, he will become Xie You's butler.
"No need, you go back and take care of Butler Zhang, I'll wait for my adoptive father here." Xie You said, and then got on his horse and went to the gate of the palace to wait.
The shopkeeper shook his head and had to go back first.
I hope those two people will not come back.
Xie Anci hurriedly entered the palace, and saw Eunuch Sun coming to greet him without a smile on his face.
"Where is the emperor?" Xie Anci asked coldly.
"This... The emperor said that he is busy today and I am afraid he has no time to see you." Eunuch Sun smiled embarrassedly.
"No time to see me? But I have time to see him." Xie Anci said and was about to break into the study.
The guards outside the door raised their spears and looked embarrassed.
"Prince Regent, this is the emperor's order, and it is difficult for us to do it."
"You..." Xie Anci looked at the guards at the door angrily. Someone dared to stop him!
Xie Anci didn't believe this evil. He had always been in a superior position, but someone dared to disobey him.
Xie Anci drew out the Yilan sword from his waist with a cold face.
"How dare you! Is the Regent going to rebel? Even if the Regent doesn't value himself, he should think about the right prime minister and the ministers standing on your side." Eunuch Sun pinched his throat, waving his orchid finger, looking like he was bossing around.
"You... you dare to threaten me?" Xie Anci's eyes were red, a eunuch dared to threaten him?
"Anci, don't be angry, let's go back first." Gu Lingyu hurriedly comforted Anci.
"Tell Li Jinchen that if he wants to kill me, he can do it openly and not do something shameful behind my back." Xie Anci shouted loudly, he knew that Li Jinchen in Yu's study could hear it.
Gu Lingyu held back Xie Anci, fearing that a conflict would really arise.
One was his good friend, and the other was someone he had admired since childhood, and he couldn't make a choice.
Xie Anci glared at Eunuch Sun and the guards, his chest heaving violently, and finally put away his sword under Gu Lingyu's pull.
"Hmph!" Xie Anci snorted coldly, turned around and strode away.
Gu Lingyu followed closely behind, fearing that Xie Anci would do something impulsive again.
After the two men left the palace, Xie You saw them from a distance.
"Godfather!" Xie You rode over on horseback.
"Xie You, why are you here?" Xie Anci frowned.
"I heard that my godfather was back, so I waited here." Xie You said.
Xie Anci's face was gloomy and he didn't say anything.
"Godfather, what's wrong?" Xie You asked when he saw that Xie Anci's face looked wrong.
Did Li Jinchen do something again?
Xie You narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Lingyu beside him. His face was not very good either.
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Xie Anci sighed, which made him impulsive.
It was indeed inappropriate for him to rush to find Li Jinchen when he didn't understand the situation in the capital yet.
He was also driven crazy by Zhang Huangqi.
Xie You looked at Xie Anci awkwardly.
"What's wrong? Can't you go back yet?" Xie Anci asked unhappily.
"No, it's not..." Xie You hesitated, not daring to tell Xie Anci the truth.
"What happened? Tell me!" Xie Anci lost all his patience. This matter beyond his control made him particularly uneasy.
"The emperor..." Xie You glanced at Gu Lingyu and blurted out his words as if he had made up his mind.
"The emperor has sealed the Prince Regent's Palace, which means that we can't go back to the palace anymore."
Xie Anci staggered and almost fell when he heard this. Gu Lingyu and Xie You hurriedly supported him.
Xie Anci's face turned pale and he murmured in disbelief: "He actually... did this."
"Godfather, don't worry, we'll take a long-term view." Xie You said worriedly.
"Then let's go to my mansion first." Gu Lingyu comforted Xie Anci.
"No need. I bought a new mansion. Butler Zhang is also there, and the situation is not good."
"Godfather, do you want to go and see him?" Xie You looked at Gu Lingyu vigilantly.
Xie Anci nodded blankly when he heard that Butler Zhang was seriously ill.
He didn't believe that Li Jinchen would send someone to kill him, but he did so many things after he came back.
Seal his own mansion?
Will he remove his official position next?
Xie Anci sneered, and a trace of sadness appeared on his handsome face.
His eyes were red, and the upturned corners of his eyes were full of broken charm.
