Chapter 65 Death

Gu Lingyu saw this and could not persuade him anymore, as he was just planning to go back to the palace to ask about Li Jinchen's assassin.

So Xie You took Xie Anci back to the house, and Gu Lingyu entered the palace again.

The carriage prepared by Xie You looked very simple on the outside, but it was a different world inside.

There was enough space inside to accommodate five or six adult men, and it was covered with thick soft cushions, and there were some fruits and cakes in the corners.

As soon as they got on the carriage, Xie You took out a soup pot and handed it to Xie Anci.

"Godfather, the weather is cold, you hold it to keep warm." Xie You said, and took out a cloak to cover Xie Anci's legs.

Xie Anci has been traveling these days and is wearing thin clothes. He feels a little cold now.

But his heart feels even colder...

Xie Anci touched his red nose.

Xie You poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Xie Anci, who took it and held it in his hands.

"What happened while I was away? Li Jinchen...he didn't touch you, did he?" Xie Anci looked at the tea in his hand. The steam in the tea blurred his vision.

"That's not the case, but he started to act after you left."

"First he captured the right prime minister, then sealed the palace, and dealt with your officials."

Xie You carefully raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Anci. Xie Anci's nose was red from the cold, his handsome face was pale, and the tear mole was like a tear hanging at the end of his eye.

"Lu Yunzheng, is he still alive?" Xie Anci paused and asked, his voice trembling, fearing that something bad would happen.

Xie You nodded, "He should be alive, but the situation is not good." Xie You

sent someone to inquire about the news, saying that Lu Yunzheng was beaten several times by Nangong Boyu and now he is only left with one breath.

"What about the others?"

Xie Anci drank a sip of hot tea, and the warm tea slid down his throat, making his body slightly warmer.

"Some of the others surrendered to Li Jinchen, and some were exiled to the border."

Xie You looked at Xie Anci's face.

At this time, Xie Anci's face was as calm as water, as if nothing could shake his heart.

Xie Anci looked out the window in silence. In just a few months, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

Li Jinchen is really great.

Xie Anci chuckled.

Well, the things that were supposed to be returned to him, he can take them if he wants.

Xie You pursed his lips, and he actually felt a little secretly happy in his heart.

Li Jinchen continued to hurt his adoptive father like this, so his adoptive father would give up on him.

Xie You grabbed the brocade robe on his legs with both hands, thinking meanly in his heart.

"How is Butler Zhang?" Xie Anci turned his head and looked at Xie You.

"Not very good. After the palace was sealed, Butler Zhang has been guarding outside the door. He got caught in the rain and caught a cold."

"The doctor said that he has a cold in his body and he is old..." Xie You's voice became softer and softer, and Xie Anci's heart began to tighten.

"I'm sorry, godfather, this is my fault, it's my negligence." Xie You apologized quickly, if only he could send someone to take a look.

He was only concerned about catching up with his godfather at the time, and he didn't expect his house to be robbed.

Xie Anci sighed lightly, "It has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself."

It was his fault. He didn't settle everything in the capital before leaving.

The two were silent for a while, each with their own thoughts.

"Master, we're here." The driver's voice came from outside.

Xie You got off the carriage first and helped Xie Anci.

Xie Anci didn't expect that the house Xie You bought was right next to the palace.

"If godfather doesn't want to live here, I'll buy another house." Xie You saw Xie Anci stopped at the door and said hurriedly.

"No need, it's the same everywhere." Xie Anci shook his head.

He has been alone for a long time, and it's the same wherever he lives.

Xie Anci went straight to the room of housekeeper Zhang after entering the house.

When he saw Zhang Ping'an lying on the bed, gasping for breath, he couldn't help but tears up.

"Uncle Zhang!" Xie Anci took a few steps at a time, rushed to the bed and took Zhang Ping'an's hand.

"Your Highness... you're back." Butler Zhang opened his eyes with great effort, and when he saw that it was Xie Anci, his eyes were full of smiles and satisfaction.

The prince was finally back, and he really had no regrets in his death.

"It's me, Uncle Zhang, I'm back." Xie Anci held Butler Zhang's hand, his eyes moist.

"I'm sorry, it's all my negligence, I'm sorry..." Xie Anci confessed in a low voice.

He should have given up power long ago, he should have made preparations before.

"Your Highness, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, you've been very good." Zhang Ping'an patted the back of Xie Anci's hand with his withered hands, comforting him.

Xie Anci shook his head, and tears finally couldn't be controlled and slid down from the corners of his eyes.

It's the most unbearable thing to see a beauty crying.

Zhang Pingan was full of pity. What a good prince, but he had a miserable life.

"Cough cough cough..." Zhang Pingan coughed violently, and dazzling red blood spurted out.

"Uncle Zhang! Uncle Zhang! Someone come! Call the doctor!" Xie Anci shouted hurriedly, with tears in his voice.

"Father, calm down, the doctor is coming soon." Xie You hugged him from behind and comforted him silently.

Fortunately, the doctor lived in the mansion.

Zhang Pingan shook his head, "Prince, don't waste your energy, this old slave is not worth it."

"Who said that, you are my Uncle Zhang, and my only relative." Xie Anci's tears could not stop falling, wetting the brocade quilt on the bed.

"Prince... I'm afraid I can't serve you anymore..." Butler Zhang said panting.

"No, Uncle Zhang, you will get better." Xie Anci's voice was choked with sobs.

At this time, the doctor ran in.

Xie Anci quickly gave up his seat and asked anxiously: "How is he? Treat him quickly!"

The doctor took a look with a bitter face, shook his head, and sighed, "Your Highness, I'm afraid that Butler Zhang is dying..."

"You're talking nonsense! How can you say such a thing without even taking his pulse? You quack!" Xie Anci scolded.

The doctor was trembling with fear and stepped back a few steps. "This... is obvious at a glance."

The doctor, who was over fifty years old, was hunched over. Everyone said that the Regent was a vicious and venomous beauty, but who could do this for a servant like him?

"Godfather, godfather, calm down." Xie You hugged him from behind and motioned the doctor to go down first.

Seeing this, the doctor hurried out.

Xie Anci pushed Xie You away and returned to the bed. Zhang Ping'an's face looked a little better than before.

The people present knew that this was probably his last gasp, and he really couldn't make it.

The shopkeeper sighed and followed the doctor out.

Xie You stood obediently behind Xie Anci.

"Uncle Zhang..." Xie Anci's eyes were filled with tears, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

"It's okay, Prince, I just went to see the old prince and the old princess, don't be sad." Butler Zhang looked at him with pity.

Xie Anci held Butler Zhang's hand tightly, his voice trembling: "Uncle Zhang, don't go..."

Butler Zhang smiled, his eyes gradually became blurred: "Prince, in the future... take good care of yourself..."

After speaking, Butler Zhang slowly closed his eyes, and his hand slipped from Xie Anci's hand.
