Chapter 299: A-Zan, I found your dog tag
Wei Ying pushed Xie Zan away.
She wiped her lips awkwardly and asked Wen Xingluo, "Who locked you up?"
"The Emperor." Wen Xingluo held her face in her hands. "I guess he wants to use me to threaten my mother and force her to help him. But my mother is very smart. She will definitely rescue me."
The little girl has round almond-shaped eyes and is very dependent on her mother.
Wei Ying nodded and said, "Aunt is very smart."
Xie Zan sat on the armchair brought by his subordinates and signaled the jailer to open the cell door.
He crossed his long legs and casually threw a dagger to Wei Ying, "Go ahead."
Wei Ying held the dagger and looked at Wen Xingluo again, "Cousin, do you want to try it? It must feel great to kill your enemy. If you want, I'll give you this opportunity. Consider it my treat."
Wen Xingluo felt embarrassed.
Can we treat guests to something like this?
It’s not like two little sisters are holding hands and going to the street to buy candied haws.
She waved her hand politely, "Let my cousin come."
Wei Ying said nothing more and walked straight into the cell.
Xiong Lingjiao shook his head desperately and stared at her in horror. His round, fat old face was pale and big beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. Because of excessive fear, his breathing was particularly heavy in the silent prison.
Wei Ying pulled the rag out of his mouth and introduced herself coldly, "I am Wei Gaoyang, the daughter of the former crown prince. You betrayed my father, and I am here to take your life."
Without waiting for Xiong Lingjiao to beg for mercy, the dagger pierced into his chest cleanly.
The man's pig-slaughtering wail instantly resounded throughout the prison. Bright red blood stained his clothes and floor tiles, and he soon became silent in convulsions.
Wei Ying looked at the heart that was dissected out before putting it into the ice bucket prepared in advance by the guards and ordering someone to send it to the Taoist priest of Tianyuan Temple.
She washed her hands and taught Wen Xingluo, "Cousin, this is how we should treat those who betrayed our country. We must not be soft-hearted."
Wen Xingluo could understand her hatred very well.
So the little girl nodded and said, "Cousin, I'll take note of it."
Xie Zan looked at them with raised eyebrows and suddenly chuckled.
Wei Ying didn't like seeing him laugh, "What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at a big cat that doesn't even know how to hunt, but relies on its mediocre skills to teach a little cat how to catch mice."
"Xie Zan," Wei Ying said angrily, "Who are you scolding?!"
She rushed over to beat him up, but Xie Zan grabbed her throat without any hesitation and pulled her into his arms.
The young man leaned back slightly, restraining Wei Ying with one hand and fiddling with the golden Buddha amulet around his neck with the other. He licked his teeth dangerously, "Wei Gaoyang, am I being too nice to you?! Can't you tell who's the master and who's the slave?!"
Wei Ying covered her neck and coughed violently, and her cold face couldn't help but add a bit of red color.
Xie Zan took out handcuffs from somewhere, handcuffed his and Wei Ying's hands, and then carried her on his shoulders like a sandbag.
Although Wei Ying was born tall, Xie Zan was taller and more upright than the average man in the Central Plains. The obvious size difference between the man and the woman gave the picture a strange sense of harmony.
"Xie Zan!" Wei Ying was hanging in the air, very annoyed, "Put me down!"
She tried to struggle, but Xie Zan slapped her on the butt.
The crisp sound of slapping was particularly clear in the silent cell.
It's not very lethal, but it's extremely insulting.
Wei Ying's face turned blue and then red, and finally, regardless of her status, she simply cursed softly, "Xie Zan, you shameless bastard! Sooner or later, I will castrate you! Castrate you!"
"If I castrate you, what will you do at night?"
“Xie Zan!!”
The two of them went out noisily.
Wen Xingluo sighed, and when he smelled the strong smell of blood coming from the cell next door, he couldn't help but shout, "Before you leave, could you please move the body next door out?!"
She doesn't want to be neighbors with a corpse!
Xie Zan carried Wei Ying all the way back to the Eastern Palace.
Wei Ying felt ashamed and wished she could cover her face so that others wouldn't see it.
It was not until she stepped into the East Palace that she used all her strength to try to get Xie Zan to put her down.
When they arrived at the bedroom, Xie Zan's clothes had been torn to shreds, and the big gold chain hanging around his neck was nowhere to be found.
He kicked the door open, threw Wei Ying onto the bed, and then his tall figure came over. "Wei Gaoyang, I'll arrange for you to gouge out the heart of my enemy with your own hands. How will you reward me?"
Wei Ying put her hand against his head and pressed one of her feet against his chest in disgust, pressing so hard that her toes were tense, as if she was resisting a mud-covered dog that pounced on her and wanted to lick her, "You...you stay away from me!"
Xie Xuchi appeared outside the house holding a big gold chain he picked up on the way.
The gold chain was heavy, and on the back of the gold amulet was engraved a line of words:
——Xie Zan is Wei Gaoyang’s dog.
Xie Xuchi glanced at the situation in the room, his face calm as if he was used to it.
He said, "A-Zan, I found your dog tags."
On the bed, Wei Ying kicked Xie Zan away.
Seeing that the two were fighting fiercely, Xie Xuchi had no choice but to put the gold chain at the door and kindly closed the door for them.
Not long after he left, the attendant returned with a letter in his hand. "Your Highness, this is Madam Wei's reply to you."
Xie Xuchi returned to the study and ordered people to burn incense and brew tea. Then he sat down by the window and carefully opened the letter.
Mrs. Wei did not blame him for what he did to A Yan. Instead, she felt sorry for him because he was controlled and forced by his father, which led him astray. She also praised him for admitting his mistakes and correcting them, saying that he was a very good child.
Good boy...
Xie Xuchi stroked these three words lightly, his expression somewhat complicated.
Ever since he got that disease, no one in the world has ever praised him as a good boy again.
Even though he got first place in the Imperial College, Empress Mei and Concubine Zhang still looked at him with disdain and wariness, always keeping their distance from him as if they were afraid that he would have a seizure in front of them, as if he were a defective product.
However, Mrs. Wei had not spent a long time with him, but she called him a good boy in her letter.
It is a bright spring day outside the window, and several clusters of peonies are in full bloom.
A hidden joy flashed in Xie Xuchi's eyes, and he continued to flip through the pages.
Mrs. Wei said in the letter that she would hold a banquet at Mingzhu Palace in two days and invited him to attend.
Although Xie Xuchi didn't know why Wei Si was holding a banquet, he was very excited to be invited by her. He quickly picked up his pen and wrote a reply to Wei Si, saying that he was willing to attend the banquet.
He took Wei Si's preferences into consideration, specially fumigated the letter paper with ambergris, and pinned a fresh peony on the envelope before ordering his servants to deliver the reply to Wei Si.
"I wonder who will be invited to her banquet..."
Xie Xuchi murmured as he stood up and walked into the inner hall with some anticipation.
He opened all his wardrobes and carefully selected the clothes he would wear to the banquet the day after tomorrow.
He wanted to dress up carefully to make Mrs. Wei proud.
At this time, Mingzhu Palace.
Wei Si stood in Wen Xingluo's bedroom, lowering her eyes to look at the pearl hairpins that girls usually use on the dressing table.
She wanted to protect her daughter, but she also didn't want anything to happen to Xie Guanlan.
Xie Zhe used her daughter to make a fuss, and she could only feel sorry for Xie Xuchi.
