Chapter 187 What Cannot Be Said Between Husband and Wife
Although this place is remote, the Royal Guards still come to patrol every hour. Xie Jian first asked Li Hu to send Chen Heng back to the tent, while he and the teacher began to clean up the mess.
That night, Chen Heng couldn't sleep alone. She waited for Xie Jian's time and sorted out what had just happened.
As far as she knew, Lu Ji'an had been injured twice. Although she didn't know why, she could feel that this master and disciple were playing a big game.
When Xie Jian came back, it was almost 1:00 in the middle of the night. Seeing Ah Heng sleeping on the table, his cold black eyes were tinged with a hint of tenderness. He took out the prepared ointment from the side and sat down next to Ah Heng.
Chen Heng was awakened by the chill on her neck. She opened her eyes dazedly and saw a well-proportioned profile. The seventeen-year-old boy, perhaps because he never smiled, or perhaps because his temperament had been worn down by many things, always seemed aloof even though he was calm and steady.
He was extremely gentle as he applied the medicine to her, and because the candlelight was too warm, his eyes looked particularly gentle.
The four eyes suddenly met.
Shen Heng straightened up: "I'm fine. Is the Master's injury okay?"
Xie Jian touched his chest with a look of pain on his face. He was also injured.
"Your chest hurts again?" Shen Heng wanted to tell Li Hu that Xie Jian had broken ribs, so she quickly helped him sit up straight, and asked with concern: "Why didn't you tell me? Even if you didn't tell me, you should have taken the medicine."
"Just rest for a few days. Master, you're fine."
"Can I know what you are doing?" Shen Heng sat in front of Xie Jian and asked, "If you can't tell me, then I won't ask." They were either injured or had broken bones, which was quite scary.
Xie Jian took her hands and said gently, "You are my wife. Is there anything that cannot be said between husband and wife?"
Wife? Between husband and wife? These words made Chen Heng a little uncomfortable. Hmm, perhaps the word partner would be more appropriate?
Xie Jian talked about what he had been doing recently.
"What? You were the one who ordered the Duke of Yu to be injured?" Chen Heng didn't think this was related to Xie Jian.
Xie Jian nodded: "The person who blocked the arrow for him is our man. Only in this way can he value and trust him." This old fox is too vigilant.
"You and Eunuch Wang are now both on the side of Shangshu Qin, that is, the Crown Prince's side. You just said that Duke Yu is also on the Crown Prince's side." Aren't they all from the same temple? Chen Heng seemed to be thinking about something: "Could it be that the matter between the eunuch and the eldest brother is related to the Crown Prince?"
"This is what the teacher and I guess. But we'll know soon." What Xie Jian couldn't understand was that after much investigation, he found that his father and brother had no connection with the court at all. Why did the Yujun Mansion let his brother, a commoner, replace Tang Zixing?
"Ajian, if you do this, it will be extremely dangerous if you are discovered." If you are not careful, Shen Heng dare not think about it. Those who can stand in the court are all thousand-year-old fox spirits. Can Ajian and the Master be their opponents?
"Shangshu Sir Qin's sworn enemy is Zhongshu Ling Sir Gong. They both enjoy causing trouble for each other. One thing is no different from a hundred things put together. Don't worry, this kind of thing is not difficult for me."
Chen Heng: "..." It sounded like he had done this many times: "Then, then are you and the Master on the same side?" He was said to be a member of the Shangshu Party, and he even schemed against his own people, so he couldn't be on the side of Zhongshu Gong Lord.
This Ziyu faction must have some influence, right?
Seeing Ah Heng's puzzled expression, Xie Jian said frankly: "I just want to find out about my father's affairs. I haven't thought about the rest. I will take advantage of whoever is beneficial to me." However, he still made some arrangements, which even the teacher didn't know.
He didn't know whether it was right to do so, because he had to cultivate an external force. If he only relied on people like Wang Nei Shi, he would only be passive.
