Chapter 27
Wang Bao: …
How should he answer this?
It was you who punished them by making them copy characters, and now it is you who can’t stand it and give them the Jade Dew Cream.
You still ask me?
Eunuch Wang Bao felt that the job of being the chief steward in the imperial court was becoming increasingly difficult.
He didn't expect Wang Bao to answer. After asking, Xiao Huan only saw Wang Bao's old face with a bitter smile, and he couldn't help but twitching his lips.
…
Xie Ling didn't expect that the Jade Dew Cream was so effective. After only applying it for an hour, the swelling and pain from writing last night were all gone, and there was no discomfort at all.
This thing... is a miracle drug!
Xie Ling held the small bottle in amazement. He didn't expect that there were such magical things in ancient times. However, there was still a lot left in it. Should he return it after using it?
system:……
"Emperor Wu shouldn't be that stingy."
How is it possible that after I give it to you to use, you can take it back?
Xie Ling thought so too. The emperor also wanted to save face and it was impossible for him to be so stingy. So he felt relieved and secretly hid the bottle of precious jade dew cream next to the pillow on his couch.
The system that witnessed his strange movements was unable to bear to watch, but fortunately no one in the hall objected to Xie Ling's actions.
For several days in a row, Xie Ling went back and forth between classes and writing novels in the side hall. Outside the palace, the incident that happened during the poetry gathering that day was secretly fermenting.
Chen Siye, the leader of the Dongshan School, was dragged down and demoted to a commoner. Other students involved in the incident were also punished one by one, and the entire Dongshan School fell silent.
It was not until after the storm that Zhang Jing calmed down and was terrified. When he stood up to expose the truth, he had no idea that the consequences would be so serious. He stood up in a fit of anger. Now seeing the fate of these people from the Dongshan School, it is inevitable to sigh.
During this period, the number of students in the Imperial College decreased by one-fifth. After class, everyone went home, and there was no longer the scene of forming gangs and going to bars and theaters together.
Looking at his scattered classmates, Zhang Jing shook his head, and somehow he suddenly remembered the young man in red whom he met at the poetry meeting that day.
Speaking of which, he originally thought that the other party was also a student of the Imperial College, but it seemed that he had never seen the other party in the Imperial College in the past few days.
He just frowned when his friend who was walking next to him noticed him and bumped into him.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"
Zhang Jing came back to his senses: "Do you still remember the little brother who drank tea at the poetry meeting that day?"
The classmate who was traveling with me recalled it and remembered it while stroking his chin.
There was no other reason, Xie Ling was just too beautiful, the only one he had ever seen in his life, it was hard for him to forget her.
Zhang Jing sighed, a little regretful: "I only had a quick glimpse that day, but unfortunately I was in a hurry and didn't have time to make friends with that little brother. I don't know where he is from."
"It would be nice if we could get to know each other."
"Oh, you've been thinking about this for so long."
"You should have said it earlier. This is not a simple matter." Wu Shanlai shook his head: "I'll go back tonight and ask for your help."
Since we are both in the capital and can attend poetry competitions, it should not be difficult to find it.
As the person with the most extensive friends in the Imperial College, Wu Shanlai vowed to go back and draw a portrait of the handsome little brother and then inquire about him one by one.
However, after inquiring, he did not find Xie Ling himself, but the Dingyi Marquis Mansion noticed it first.
Ever since there was no response to the letter sent to the palace, Marquis Dingyi had doubts about whether Xie Ling was still there. However, he did not expect that when the prince of the marquisate was out today, he would run into Prince Wu of the Marquis Zhongyong family and ask about the portrait.
Originally, Xie Cheng was just taking a casual look, but he unexpectedly saw the appearance of his third half-brother.
this……
Isn’t this Xie Ling?
Xie Cheng remained expressionless and did not respond to Wu Shanlai. After talking for a few words and asking for the portrait, he hurried home and gave the painting to his father.
"Father, you said that Third Brother is fine and is still doing well in the palace, so why didn't he contact the family at all?"
Prince Xie looked anxious. He didn't know why he couldn't calm down ever since his third brother entered the palace. He always felt that something bad was going to happen.
Marquis Dingyi's face also darkened a little. The old fox thought more than others. At this time, he had begun to doubt: Could it be that Xie Ling wanted to abandon his family just because he had hooked up with the emperor?
He must not forget who gave birth to him, raised him, and gave him opportunities!
Ding Yi Hou snorted coldly, closed his eyes for a long time before saying in a deep voice: "Pretend you don't know about this for the time being."
"I'll think about it."
Xie Cheng knew the importance of the matter and nodded slightly.
Marquis Dingyi narrowed his eyes only after the people left. It seemed that Xie Ling was planning to leave the Marquis' Mansion. However, because he had leverage over his third son, Marquis Dingyi was not overly worried. If he really had ulterior motives, the worst that could happen was that he would destroy this son, but in this case, he would not get any benefit at all...
Perhaps a warning should be given first?
…
There was a slight knock on the table, and Xiao Huan sneered after receiving the news in the palace.
"This old man is still thinking of selling his son for fame."
All the news outside the palace was under his control, especially the Dingyi Marquis' Mansion. Ever since Xiao Huan learned that Dingyi Marquis was trying to contact Xie Ling and was constantly making small moves in private, he ordered the Eagle Guards to keep a close eye on him.
Originally, Marquis Dingyi was unaware of Xie Ling's specific situation and had been quiet for a few days. However, he did not expect that a student from the Imperial College would be looking for Xie Ling, and he was seen by the eldest son of Marquis Dingyi, which aroused his thoughts again.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Xiao Huan showed no emotion on his face, but his tone became cold.
Wang Bao looked at the nose with his eyes and the heart with his nose. He wondered why His Majesty was angry with Master Xie some time ago and now he is feeling indignant for him again.
However, he absolutely did not dare to say this. If he did, it would be like slapping His Majesty in the face. At this time, he could only pretend not to understand.
Xiao Huan was silent for a long time, and after thinking it over, he decided not to hide it from Xie Ling and asked someone to hand the letter to Wang Bao.
"Give it to Xie Ling."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Bao took a deep breath. He didn’t expect that His Majesty would even show this to Master Xie.
Don't you need to avoid suspicion? After all, it's about Master Xie's relatives, so it's reasonable to avoid it. However, His Majesty doesn't mind it at all.
One of them was natural, the other was frank. After receiving the letter, Xie Ling's thoughts were exactly the same as Xiao Huan's. He couldn't help but sigh:
"This old guy hasn't given up yet."
So what did Marquis Dingyi discuss in private?
Opening the door with admiration in mind, Xie Ling looked up and saw Marquis Dingyi discussing with his staff how to contact him again. This time they couldn't just ask, but had to subtly reveal that they had something on him so that he would be afraid and obey.
Well, as for the handle.
——Isn’t collusion with Zhao Yongnian the biggest handle?
When Marquis Dingyi saw Xie Ling so lively, he came to his senses and thought that His Majesty did not know about the affair between Xie Ling and Zhao Yongnian, and was still using this matter as a trump card, hoping to use it to curb his carefree third son.
After all, in his opinion, no emperor could tolerate scheming. The reason why Xie Ling was so lively now was because Emperor Wu didn't know about it. If he knew, he would definitely not be like this now.
Xie Ling: ...Although he didn't know how he could be so lively, it definitely had nothing to do with Zhao Yongnian. You know, Emperor Wu knew it the first day he saw Zhao Yongnian being dragged away.
Tsk, if they were thinking this, they were wrong.
Xie Ling shook his head. What was even more bizarre when he looked at the letter was: How could His Majesty know such a private matter?
Thinking about the Dingyi Marquis Mansion filled with Eagle Guards, Xie Ling silently mourned for them and then accepted the letter with an expressionless face.
"Thank you, sir."
Wang Bao looked at his expression, considering how to start the conversation, but before he could finish his words, he saw Xie Ling turn around and speak righteously.
"Please tell your Majesty, Eunuch Wang, that I will never go along with them!"
Wang Bao: …
Your Majesty, that is not what you meant!
Wait, that’s not what he meant either.
The words he originally wanted to say to comfort Master Xie were forgotten in an instant. He choked and looked at Xie Ling strangely. He didn't know how Master Xie came up with the idea of going along with the crowd.
"Thank you, Master. His Majesty wants you to concentrate on your studies and ignore this letter."
Since he knew Xie Ling's identity, there was no way he would suspect Xie Ling because of the Dingyi Marquis Mansion.
This is Xiao Huan’s attitude.
Wang Bao didn't know about Xie Ling's identity, but he knew the emperor's character. You know, this is a rare trust from the emperor, and he felt a little sour when he said it.
He had never seen His Majesty trust anyone so much. Even the Xie family was restless and they did not doubt Young Master Xie at all. This royal grace was simply admirable.
Huh?
Xie Ling blinked. He didn’t expect that Emperor Wu meant this. He thought the other party was warning him.
"So the system didn't allow me to use the new characters I picked up a few days ago because of this, right?"
The moment Xie Ling saw the letter, he suddenly realized something and found a reason for his innocent punishment two days ago. But now he is a little uncertain again.
system:……
"Emperor Wu is not the kind of person who would settle scores later."
Xiao Huan had known for a long time that he was presented by Zhao Yongnian. If he wanted to settle the score, he would have done so long ago, why would he wait until now?
Xie Ling actually thought so too, so...what heavenly law did he violate a few days ago?
Unable to figure it out no matter how hard he thought, Xie Ling had no choice but to put it out of his mind.
After Wang Bao finished speaking, he suddenly paused and asked in a low voice:
"I heard that Master Xie made some new friends at the poetry gathering a few days ago?"
He asked suddenly and Xie Ling didn't react.
What friends? No, I don't have any.
Didn't he stay with Dr. Sun and the teacher the whole time? A few top students came to talk to him and wanted to discuss the Classic of Tea, but they found themselves chewing on peony and left because it was inappropriate.
Seeing the real confusion in Master Xie's eyes, Wang Bao knew that it was done and he could finish his work! He smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries before returning to Wannian Pavilion with satisfaction.
Xiao Huan had just finished dealing with the follow-up of the Dongshan School. At this time, he was looking at the reports from the governors of various provinces. He did not look up when he saw Wang Bao coming. It was not until noon that he finished his work and stopped to drink some tea.
Wang Bao knew what was going on and stepped forward immediately. After refilling the tea, he described Mr. Xie's reaction and actions.
"As soon as Master Xie read the letter, he immediately expressed his loyalty to His Majesty."
"It can be seen that the heart of Your Majesty is as clear as the sun and the moon."
Xiao Huan: ...
Thinking of Xie Ling's loyalty to the emperor, which might be mixed with other things, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he felt a little strange. But soon, he was attracted by Wang Bao's next words.
"He said he didn't know anyone else?"
So the portraits of Zhang Jing and others were completely painted by themselves?
Xiao Huan's eyes paused slightly. Even though he knew everything that happened at the poetry meeting that day, he was still a little displeased when he suddenly saw this portrait. For a moment, it was as if... something of his was being coveted.
Although he had no relationship with Xie Ling and he himself was not attracted to men, Xiao Huan just felt uncomfortable. This kind of boredom had no reason, but it lasted for a whole afternoon.
The eunuchs who were serving nearby didn't understand what was going on and were so frightened that they dared not even breathe. However, Wang Bao boldly guessed that it was because of the portrait of Master Xie, and only then did he dare to ask another question.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, although His Majesty's brows did not relax, the coldness in his body dissipated a little.
Xiao Huan realized that he was angry about this kind of thing, which was completely unlike his usual self, and frowned slightly.
Seeing Wang Bao looking at him with a smile on his face, he glanced at him.
"You old slave."
He cursed lightly but said nothing more.
Wang Bao knew that it was all right. His Majesty’s mood had recovered. He did not dare to guess the emperor’s intentions anymore and stood respectfully aside.
…
Xie Ling originally thought that even if the Dingyi Marquis' Mansion had written a letter, they would discuss for a few days before taking any action. However, he did not expect that the other party would act so quickly and come to him just as he was leaving the palace and preparing to go to his teacher's house.
Because of His Majesty's approval, Xie Ling was able to leave the palace for a while these days. Of course, the location was limited to the road from the palace to Zheng Daru's residence.
After finally getting on the carriage in the morning, Xie Ling hadn't even leaned back to relax for a while when he noticed a "bang" as his carriage was hit by someone.
Xie Ling: …
Something happened?
Xie Ling's first reaction was that it might be a car crash. He never expected that an ancient horse-drawn carriage could also crash into the road. Just as he was about to lift the curtain to take a look, a paper ball was unexpectedly thrown in through the curtain.
Xie Ling looked at the curtain opposite him falling down quickly with a confused look on his face, and then he opened the paper ball.
"At 3 p.m., Zhu's Restaurant in the East Square."
In just a few words, the cause and effect were not explained clearly, as if it was a secret code. After thinking for a long time, Xie Ling couldn't believe it: Wait, this couldn't be done by Ding Yihou and his son?
I just threatened him a few days ago and now we want to meet?
Is this action so fast?
Xie Ling hesitated for a moment: "Do you think I should tell the emperor about this paper ball?"
Of course it is necessary!
Otherwise, if he went to the restaurant alone, what if Marquis Dingyi got angry and something happened? If he didn't go... Tsk, this guy dared to sneak in and hit his carriage. If he didn't go, who knows what other tricks he would use.
Let's meet him and see what he is up to.
Xie Ling sat upright, and after the car crash in front was fixed, he tapped the window gently.
"Brother Eagle Guard?"
"Brother? Is anyone there?"
He was just trying to see if there were any of Emperor Wu's men around him. After all, it was well known that the Eagle Guards of the Ganwu Dynasty were omnipresent.
A few breaths after Xie Ling finished shouting, a figure suddenly appeared on the roof of the car. After hearing Xie Ling's voice, he turned over and came down.
"What do you need to do, Master Xie?"
Wow, it’s actually Lord Liang Chun, the commander of the Eagle Guard.
Xie Ling was stunned. Was his current surveillance level so high? He actually still needed Lord Liang Chun.
Xie Ling didn't know that it wasn't because of his high surveillance level, but when Xiao Huan left the palace today, he somehow thought of Marquis Dingyi and his son, and was worried that the two would do something again, so he simply asked the Eagle Guards to follow him, but who knew that this would lead to Xie Ling's misunderstanding.
Xie Ling handed the paper ball to Liang Chun with a strange look on his face: "Please pass the paper ball to His Majesty."
"Tell your Majesty that I would like to go and have a look after lunch."
Xie Ling had already made up his mind, and now with Liang Chun around, he felt even more reassured.
Liang Chun looked at him more and didn't expect him to be so courageous. He nodded slightly and quickly delivered the things to the palace and gave them to His Majesty.
As the morning passed, Xie Ling studied and relaxed at his teacher's house as usual. When it was noon, he said goodbye to Zheng Daru smoothly.
As soon as he got on the carriage, he saw Qian Ming winking at him, and then he realized that Liang Chun had returned.
Well, we can’t expose Lord Liang.
So Xie Ling pretended nothing had happened and naturally withdrew his gaze, and asked the driver to rush to Dongfang City.
Xiao Huan didn't say much about Xie Ling's decision. After all, with Liang Chun, the leader of the Eagle Guard, there was no chance of anything going wrong. But after he finished reviewing the memorial, he suddenly felt uneasy and couldn't concentrate on anything.
After a while, Xiao Huan closed his eyes in annoyance.
"What time is it?"
He asked coldly.
"It is just past noon, Your Majesty."
Wang Bao leaned forward and responded, waiting for His Majesty's instructions, but after waiting for a long time, His Majesty did not speak.
Xiao Huan was silent for a long time before he opened his eyes: "Forget it."
"Prepare the horses. I want to leave the palace."
“Yes” huh?
Leaving the palace?
Wait, Your Majesty has no plans to leave the palace today. Wasn't he planning to summon several princes to the palace in the afternoon to discuss the matters of the Autumn Examination? Why is he suddenly leaving the palace?
Wang Bao was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized, His Majesty might be going to look for... Master Xie? This thought flashed through his mind, and Wang Bao closed his mouth and quickly went out to pass on the order.
Xiao Huan thought that he was just going out to take a look. He didn't know what Marquis Dingyi was up to today. Even with the Eagle Guards by his side, Xie Ling might not be able to react.
After all, he is not the original Xie Ling, and he doesn't know the dirty thoughts of these people.
He had a blank expression on his face, and when the horse was brought over, he simply jumped on it. A group of guards followed behind him, and Xiao Huan left the palace quietly without making a big fuss.
…
Xie Ling was dozing off in the carriage when he heard a "whoosh". They had arrived at Dongfang City. The coachman looked towards the restaurant opposite with some embarrassment.
"Sir, there is some congestion here at the Zhu Family Restaurant. You may need to wait for a while."
"If you have any urgent business..."
"Oh no, no hurry."
What kind of urgent matter could he have? Xie Ling shook his head. Seeing that the coachman was still waiting with difficulty, he simply opened the curtain and got off the carriage. He walked around the lunch market, bought a cup of sugarcane drink, and then came back slowly.
On the opposite building: When Xie Cheng saw his third brother, he was a little bit afraid to recognize him for a moment, because he had changed so much in recent days. When he first saw the portrait, he found it a little difficult to recognize him. If it weren't for the same facial features, he wouldn't have thought it was Xie Ling.
But now seeing it with my own eyes, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he has been completely transformed in just over a month.
Xie Ling rolled up the sleeves of his red shirt, lowered his head and drank a sip of sugarcane drink. His eyes narrowed in comfort, and his temperament was somewhat scorching in the sunlight.
Xie Cheng frowned, instinctively alert and unhappy, especially when he saw that the other party had clearly arrived but was still "putting on airs" and refusing to come up.
"Do you really think you can rest easy just because you've become a royal?"
There was some resentment on Xie Cheng's still decent face.
Marquis Dingyi glared at him and frowned, but Xie Ling didn't come up.
The two of them originally thought that he was making fun of them, but after waiting for a while, the blocked road ahead was cleared and Xie Ling climbed onto the carriage, drinking an ice drink.
Dingyi Hou: ...
"So he's waiting for the road to be cleared?"
He is not even willing to walk a distance of 100 meters?
Xie Cheng, who had just been talking about conspiracy theories, was suddenly speechless and felt extremely speechless.
After waiting for a long time, Xie Ling finally arrived slowly. Just looking at him from upstairs made people angry.
Xie Cheng slammed the window shut, waiting for someone to knock on the door, ready to leave his third brother alone. However, just as he had this thought, he heard someone outside the door say, "Hey, is there no one here? Did they write the wrong restaurant number?"
"Forget it, I'd better go back first."
Xie Ling left without any hesitation.
Xie Cheng's face turned pale with anger. Seeing Marquis Dingyi looking at him, he had to take a deep breath and went over to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Xie Ling even walked to the stairs. If he was a step later, he would have really gone down.
Xie Cheng: …
"What are you going to do, Third Brother?"
"My father and I are in there."
It was not convenient to talk in the restaurant, so Xie Cheng lowered his voice.
Xie Ling suddenly realized.
"I thought there was no one there."
Xie Cheng choked and said, "Maybe you didn't hear me knocking on the door just now. Now that you're here, come in with me to see father."
Xie Ling's purpose of coming here was not to play tricks on him. Seeing that this man was impatient, he frowned slightly, and without noticing the Eagle Guard's hint, he was about to go in and take a look.
"System, please keep an eye on it for me." Xie Ling didn't want to fail.
The system responded and stood ready. After the group entered, Marquis Dingyi took a closer look at his son. To be honest, there were many children in the Marquis's mansion, and he was not familiar with Xie Ling. The only advantage he could bring out was his good looks, but that was all. He was surprised when he saw him today. No wonder His Majesty kept Xie Ling.
During this period of time...it has grown a bit.
Marquis Dingyi was a cunning old man. Even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, a smile appeared on his face at this moment.
"A Ling has really suffered in the palace during this period of time."
"I originally thought that the palace rules were so strict that you couldn't leave today. It seems that His Majesty still favors you."
One sentence can convey ten meanings. Xie Ling nodded. Just when Marquis Dingyi thought that Xie Ling would say something to show his submission and the harmony between father and son, Xie Ling said something.
"You are too kind."
Now even Marquis Dingyi was speechless.
What are you talking about?
Xie Ling sat calmly: "What do you want me to do today?"
You can't just come here to reminisce about the past, right? That's too risky.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Marquis Dingyi suddenly laughed.
"My son is indeed quite smart."
He was unhappy in his heart, but he said, "It's not a big deal."
"It's just that A Ling hasn't contacted home recently, and I'm a little worried."
It was obvious that he was worried that he would get out of control, so he said it in such a high-sounding manner, but from Marquis Dingyi's mouth it became concern for him.
As he was speaking, Marquis Dingyi gestured to Xie Cheng to pour him a glass of water.
"Are you thirsty after all this walking?"
"Have some tea and rest for a while, I will talk to you slowly."
Xie Ling: …
"Scan the system." It was clear there was a problem at first glance.
Xie Ling, who had learned from palace fighting novels, quickly awakened and looked at the cup with excitement and stealth.
"Is this the legendary poisoning?"
What's inside? A poisonous insect that controls people, or some classic poison that requires an antidote within a month to survive?
Seeing this famous scene for the first time, Xie Ling wanted to record it with a camera, but unfortunately the system did not have a real-time video recording function.
system:……
Someone has poisoned you, why are you so excited?
But when he scanned it, he found that Xie Ling was right to his surprise.
"It's really one of those once-a-month pills."
"It's not a poisonous insect." Xie Ling was still a little disappointed. He thought he could see the classic southern Xinjiang poisonous insect.
system:……
"That's all in novels. There's no such thing in reality." The water in the teacup was not active at all. The system probably detected some kind of poison, but it would take some time to analyze the details.
The host just doesn't drink it.
Xie Ling already knew there was something wrong, so of course he wouldn't drink the tea.
Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, no matter how he was persuaded, he just didn't raise his hand. Ding Yihou's face darkened slightly, thinking that he didn't accept the toast and was about to say something, but at this time the door was pushed open.
He subconsciously raised his head, but saw an unexpected person appear, which made him terrified!
Xiao Huan, who had rushed over, pushed the door open and sneered, "What is Marquis Dingyi planning to let Xie Ling drink? Why not let me have a taste, too?"
Dingyi Hou:!!!
No one expected that His Majesty would come over suddenly. Everyone present was stunned, and the first thing they did was to kneel down and apologize.
Even Xie Ling was surprised.
Hey, why is Your Majesty here?
Isn’t it enough to just have Lord Liang?
Their eyes met for a moment and then looked away. As soon as Xiao Huan entered the room, he saw Marquis Dingyi forcing Xie Ling to drink tea. At this time, he narrowed his eyes: This old guy really has bad intentions.
The Eagle Guards quickly took control of the situation, and Xiao Huan sat down.
Marquis Dingyi and his son were kneeling on the ground. Xiao Huan said in a calm tone:
"I didn't mean to attack you."
Because the imperial examination was approaching and too many people had been dealt with recently, Xiao Huan did not want to affect the court, so he temporarily did not touch the Dingyi Marquis and his son who had been jumping around. However, he did not expect that they could not even wait for two months and now they actually wanted to poison Xie Ling?
This really touched Xiao Huan's sore spot.
His eyes fell on the tea. When he thought that if he hadn't come in, Xie Ling might be forced to drink this, a nameless anger that made him anxious surged up.
He even ignored the existence of the Eagle Guards.
Xiao Huan glanced at the teacup, expressionlessly preparing to have the cup of tea poured on Ding Yihou and his son, so that they would suffer the consequences of their actions. However, as soon as the tea was picked up, the Eagle Guard holding the cup felt dizzy, and his face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't even hold the cup steady.
With a "bang", the cup shattered to the ground. The Eagle Guard was also startled and quickly controlled himself and apologized.
"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this tea!"
The kneeling Dingyi Marquis and his son looked pale, as if they dared not speak.
Xie Ling also realized that something was wrong.
Um?
Is this poison so strong? Can you get poisoned just by smelling it from a distance?
"System, wait, I'm not poisoned, am I?"
I was careless. I didn't expect it to be airborne. I was tricked!
The system always felt that something was not right, but it thought it would wait until the results came out before speaking, so it did not speak up immediately.
Xiao Huan's face looked grim. He stood up, held his breath and didn't speak.
The Eagle Guards quickly stepped forward to control the two men and remove their arms, ignoring the pale faces of Marquis Dingyi and his son.
After taking a deep look at the two of them, Xiao Huan took Xie Ling away without saying a word. He didn't say until they were out of the restaurant until he said in a deep voice, "Go back to the palace quickly and call Xia Changli."
The eunuch who did not follow in did not know what happened in the room. Seeing that His Majesty had a gloomy face, he immediately rode his horse at full speed back to the palace.
As for Xiao Huan, he closed his eyes slightly to restrain himself, jumped on his horse, brought Xie Ling up and wanted to go back to the palace first, and asked Xia Changli to come and see what the poison was.
But at the moment when Xie Ling was pulled onto the horse, both of them shuddered.
A trembling burning heat came from the place of contact, and Xiao Huan's body suddenly stiffened.
Xie Ling opened his eyes wide and heard the dumbfounded voice of the system in his mind.
"Wait host, the test is wrong."
"This isn't some poison."
"This is... the warm, loving, spring night fragrance that was unique to the previous dynasty!"
Xie Ling: ???
What? !
