Chapter 33 Another “He”

The sleeping incense he burned yesterday was made by the spice shop that he gave to Wen's mother. He had used it for several years in his previous life and it was extremely effective. He slept deeply all night and woke up this morning without any abnormalities.

Who was the one who talked to Arjun last night?

Wen Qiong saw that the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, and his brows and eyes were gloomy as if there was a cloud of evil spirit, "Could it be that Husband wants to go back on his word?"

A strong sense of loss of control hit his face, and Yao Xuanci tried his best to endure the vague uneasiness, "It will take an hour and a half to go to Jiuchong Mountain, and I will go with you."

"But didn't your husband promise me to go to Zheng Guogong's mansion to have a banquet for me?"

Wen Qiong raised her hand to remove a golden sweet-scented osmanthus flower that fell from her shoulder, and said in a gentle voice, "Then His Royal Highness will also go together, my husband should go."

Yao Xuanci frowned tightly, and he couldn't hide the evil spirit in his eyes, "How can the prince compare to you, his political achievements are mediocre, and his ability to govern the country is not as good as the other princes."

Wen Qiong was startled by the fierce look in his eyes, Yao Xuanci hates the prince?

She immediately denied it, impossible.

How could Yao Xuanci hate the prince, he is the most trusted and loyal official of the new emperor in the future.

"But my husband didn't want to assist His Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly. The prince came here in a hurry when my husband was injured before. It can be seen that he recognizes my husband's ability and attaches great importance to it."

Right now it was more important to convince him to go to the dinner on time.

Wen Qiong gave a simple and clear account of the fact that someone was crying in front of the Hou Mansion today.

"Tomorrow there will probably be an official visit. I just want to hide from Mrs. Su, and let her know that the Hou's Mansion is not a powerful mansion that can cover the sky with one hand. She should bear it herself if she dares to kill someone."

"With Nanny Song and sister Ayao accompanying me to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings, my husband is at ease."

Yao Xuanci was still very worried, especially when he couldn't remember when he woke up last night, "Then I'll let Mo Ya go with you."

Wen Qiong still wants to fight for it again, which shows the firmness in his eyes, knowing that this is Yao Xuanci's biggest concession, "Okay."

As long as the man doesn't follow her.

As night fell, Wen Qiong was so nervous that she couldn't fall asleep thinking about her plans for tomorrow.

In her mind, she imagined following the steps explained by her brother several times, and also worried about how to deal with Mo Ya who was following him. She tossed and turned, and was held down by the shoulders of the man beside her.

"It's the third watch, why is Arjun still up?"

"..." Wen Qiong didn't expect it to be so late, Yao Xuanci was still awake, and opened his eyes, "I was sick at dinner, and I still feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."

"Where is your husband?"

Yao Xuanci got up and leaned against the head of the bed, "I don't want to sleep."

"If not, my husband will light another sleeping incense?" Wen Qiong didn't want to be dragged by this man to chat about things.

The man said in a low voice, "No more."

He was worried that when he woke up tomorrow morning, Arjun would talk to him about what he did when he woke up at night.

I thought about going to the government doctor to inquire, but it was only this time so far, the clue was given by Arjun, and didn't have any clue, so asking was futile.

What made Yao Xuanci even more concerned was whether "he" would only wake up in the middle of the night, or... when he was unconscious and fell asleep.

Naturally, this sleeping incense cannot be lit.

He lifted the quilt, "I'll pour you a glass of warm water and press your stomach."

Wen Qiong quickly stretched out her hand to hold him, "No need, it's nothing serious, it won't hurt if you bear with it."

"Husband, please rest earlier."

Wen Qiong fell asleep quickly, while Yao Xuanci stayed up all night.

In the early morning of the next day, when Wen Qiong was going to bed, he closed his eyes and took a nap, and when he woke up, he was still lying on the bed in an orderly manner as before going to sleep.

The "he" does not seem to appear.

Yao Xuanci rubbed his slightly sore temples, and then he called the white crow, and knowing that Wen Qiong had set off for almost an hour, he prepared to pack up his meals, went to Zheng Guogong's mansion for a cutscene, and then left.

It is absolutely impossible for him to be stabbed in the back by Zheng Ruyu indulged by the East Palace again. In this life, he should have been brought out to teach the new emperor earlier and pushed him to the position of new emperor.

At the foot of Jiuchong Mountain, Wen Qiong asked Ah Shen to stop the carriage at a roadside tea stand to rest.

Mo Ya drank the tea brought by A Yao, his eyes fell on the fish stall next to the tea stall, and he walked over with a sea bowl.

"Your fish is quite fresh, just caught?"

The owner of the fish stall was a young man, with his sleeves rolled up, he was busily gutting the fish, scraping the fish scales, he raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and showed his white teeth with a smile.

"Of course, I just fished it this morning."

"My fish is fattened by drinking mountain spring water, and it is very clean. Do you want to buy two and take them home to try something new?"

Hearing this, Mo Ya was curious, "Mountain spring water? The fish you raised specially?

The stall owner shook his head, "There is a big waterfall in Jiuchong Mountain, and the Taoist temples on the mountain drink the mountain spring from this waterfall. This fish is fished out of the river flowing down the waterfall."

Speaking of this, the young stall owner took the initiative and said enthusiastically, "Young master is not from Jiuchongshan, so he probably doesn't know about this waterfall."

"The river in our Jiuchong Mountain is a river that converges to the Weicheng Wharf. When I was a child, I encountered a severe drought. This mountain spring and waterfall fed a lot of people. It is very famous in Jiuchong Mountain. The Taoist Temple of Jiuchong Mountain isBuilt against this waterfall."

When Mo Ya heard this, he reckoned in his heart that this fish must have had some good luck, and Mrs. Shizi is here to seek good luck, which is not just right.

So after choosing two and weighing them well, he happily took out the copper coins, "I'll come down the mountain to get them, and you can keep them for me."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it." The young stall owner pushed the copper coin back, "I have to go home at noon."

"Then..." Mo Ya frowned and straightened up, turned around to see the tea stand, and said, "You put the fish in the tea stand, and I'll tell the owner of the tea stand, and I'll pick it up later."

Then he handed half of the copper coins to him, "I will give the other half of the copper coins to the owner of the tea stall when I take the fish away, and you can ask her for it later."

The owner of the fish stall thought it was all right, so he nodded in agreement, so Mo Ya happily returned to the carriage, and praised the fresh fish fattened by drinking mountain spring water. Wen Qiong lifted the curtain of the carriage and peeked at the stall owner.

The stall owner happened to be looking at them. He looked upright and honest. He could vaguely see half of the tattoo on his arm with his sleeves rolled up. When he noticed Wen Qiong looking over, he smiled and showed his big white teeth.

Wen Qiong pursed the corners of her lower lips, and looked away, "Have enough rest, let's go up the mountain."

Zheng Guogong's mansion, guests came in with gifts, and it was extremely lively.

The concubine and the crown prince An Wenlin chatted and walked towards the main hall. From the corner of the eye, they saw Zheng Ruyu hurriedly passing by, and quickly called her, "Yu'er!"

Zheng Ruyu heard the sound and looked around, seeing the princess in a gorgeous palace dress, her eyes lit up, "Sister."

She lifted the hem of her skirt and walked over, but her eyes were fixed on An Wenlin, and An Wenlin subconsciously straightened her waist.

"Your Highness, did Yao Xuanci come with His Highness?"

He paused, then lowered his eyes, "No, Yao Shizi is recuperating recently, and I haven't seen him for a long time."

The Crown Princess knew what was on her sister's mind, and persuaded her, "I heard that Shizi Yao never left after Mrs. Wen became pregnant. Don't be obsessed with him anymore. You're just embarrassing yourself if you persist like this."

"Who said that, I'm not embarrassing myself." Zheng Ruyu looked away dissatisfied, and muttered in a low voice, "I'll get him soon."

She has already delivered the money Wen asked for as promised, and she is only waiting for Yao Xuanci to show up.

The princess didn't hear it clearly, but it was easy to guess that her stubborn sister must have turned against her. She frowned and said in a serious tone, "The two of them are married by the emperor, you are just torturing yourself like this!"

"I don't care, I will marry him!"

"Okay." An Wenlin stepped forward to stop the discussion between the sisters, and looked at the princess, "You don't want to go and see your mother, go there."

He said softly, "Gu and Yu'er will talk again."

The Crown Princess' face softened a little when she heard the words, seeing Zheng Ruyu's dissatisfaction, she held back her anger and left with the servant girl.

An Wenlin looked at her with dull eyes, "What did you mean by that?"

He heard her muttering clearly, and she could get Yao Xuanci's words right away.

Zheng Ruyu's fox eyes were full of sly smiles, "I don't want to tell His Highness."

Seeing her smug look like a little fox, An Wenlin's eyes were soft, and she was about to speak, but her eyes suddenly sparkled.

"Yao Xuanci!"

When Zheng Ruyu saw the man in the black robe approaching from afar, he quickly lifted up the skirt. An Wenlin looked at her impatient back, and pursed the corners of his lips in displeasure.

Before Yao Xuanci reached the main hall, he was stopped by Zheng Ruyu who suddenly appeared, and then he saw the prince An Wenlin walking from the veranda unhurriedly, a fierce look flashed in the deep phoenix eyes.

Death, revenge.

The next moment he was dizzy.

There was a moment of laxity in the man's dark eyes, and when he focused his gaze again, the hostility in his eyes had already dissipated, leaving only indifferent scrutiny.

Zheng Ruyu raised her chin, "I thought you wouldn't come today."

Yao Xuanci just glanced at her indifferently, then looked at the crown prince in the apricot-yellow brocade robe behind her, and saluted lightly, "Your Highness."

An Wenlin said gently, "Yao Shizi looks good, it seems that the injury has healed, and Gu is at ease."

"Yes, the injury is almost healed."

Yao Xuanci looked directly at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whom he had been following since he entered the court, and said calmly, "The case that has been shelved in my hands can be picked up and continued to be investigated."

If it wasn't for another "he", Yao Xuanci would never have imagined that His Royal Highness would ascend to the Dragon Throne as he wished in the future, but would be dragged down by "him".

It is also unexpected that the poisonous arrow he received came from the handwriting of the prince he had supported for several years.

The dignified prince ordered people to secretly collude with bandits in many villages, search for people's fat and anointment, and even unknowingly donated money and food for disaster relief, bought and sold private salt, and hoarded a large amount of gold and silver treasures.

Yao Xuanci could guess what this money was used for - bribery and bribes of court officials to add party members to them.

His current father-in-law, Wen Chenghong, the servant of the household department, was one of them, and was finally abandoned and exiled by the new emperor.

He just peeped into the fragmented future, and the amount of information in that star point was enough for him to digest for a long time.

Yao Xuanci smiled lightly, "I hope that I can earn some meritorious service as soon as possible, so that I can show my talents above the court and 'serve' for His Highness."

An Wenlin felt that the words of the person in front of him seemed to mean something, but seeing his expression was flat, it was only his own illusion.

"Yao Shizi should be more concerned about his wife. I remember that when the princess was pregnant, she couldn't live without people, so she specially invited Yu'er to accompany her."

Zheng Ruyu, who was mentioned, didn't want to hear about Wen's at all, and approached Yao Xuanci, the fox's eyes were full of infatuation, "Guess you will come today, I specially asked someone to prepare your favorite peach blossom wine."

"Go, I'll take you to the banquet and wait!"

She wanted to climb onto Yao Xuanci's arm, but unexpectedly he took half a step back, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "Your Highness, please first."

An Wenlin's eyes fell on Yao Xuanci's arm behind his back, and he seemed to inadvertently brushed across Zheng Ruyu's face full of unwillingness while biting his lip, and walked forward with a sullen face.
