Seeing Xiao Yan showing such a terrifying expression, Gong Min was startled and frightened, isn't it just a jade pendant? Is it worth the prince's gaffe
Standing behind Xiao Yan, Qi Qing understood Xiao Yan's mood. He was the one who led people to find the prince, and later helped him find a savior. He knew the whole process clearly, so when he heard Gong Min When he said that, he immediately thought of something with Xiao Yan.
That is, maybe Cui Ning was the one who saved Xiao Yan, and only in this way can explain why Cui Ning has a jade pendant...but this jade pendant caused the Cui family to die.
But why did the jade pendant end up in Bai Qiuchi's hands
Xiao Yan stared at the table, he was always calm and rational, even in the moment of life and death, he could not move like a mountain, but at this moment he was so shocked and confused that he could hardly think.
Just that one possibility made him flustered.
If Cui Ning, that is, Yuan Jin...is the person he has been looking for, then what did he do
It took a long time for Xiao Yan to speak slowly. His voice was suppressed and almost imperceptibly unstable, and he said in a deep voice, "Tell me everything you remember at that time, word by word."
… … … … … … …
Xie He stayed at home leisurely, waited until it was getting late, and then went to prepare laundry and cook with a look of disgust, and watch 444's live broadcast by the way.
[444: The host is big! Gong Min actually knew that Cui Ning had a jade pendant! Xiao Yan is finally going to know the truth. Have you guessed this? (*@ο@*) wow~]
[Xie He: Baby, this is the best strategy I said. In this way, Xiao Yan not only knows that I am his savior, but also learns the truth about the destruction of the Cui family, killing two birds with one stone. It is definitely a surprise. Smile JPG]
[444: But how did you know that Gong Min would say that_(:зゝ∠)_]
[Xie He: Of course not by guessing:)]
[444:...]
[Xie He: People's memories are often subjective. For Cui Ning, saving Xiao Yan is nothing to him. He is kind and helpful by nature, so he didn't take that matter too seriously. And when I first accepted the memory transmission, I was affected by the original owner's subjective emotions, and I didn't care much about it, but since I knew that the person he saved was Xiao Yan, I re-read his memory from beginning to end.]
[Xie He: The benefit of the system's memory transmission is here. Many things that people have forgotten or can't remember, actually still exist in his mind, and looking up the memory is like watching a video. There are often details that the original owner did not pay attention to. play a role in determining success or failure. Baby, now is the information age:)]
[444: ... (⊙o⊙) Oh]
[Xie He: From memory, we can know that when Xiao Yan gave the jade pendant to Cui Ning, when Cui Ning returned home, a guest came to the house the next day, and that guest was Gong Min, but Gong Min did not come alone. Beside him is a disguised eunuch, this eunuch is the prince's confidant who bought me from Xunhuanlou, but Cui Ning doesn't remember. In this way, the answer is obvious. At the beginning, the prince sent his confidants to Jiangzhou to visit Cui's house with Gong Min. His purpose was probably to force Cui Shao to join forces with others. Yan. At the same time, Cui Ning was delayed by a visitor at home, and when he went again, Xiao Yan had already been rescued. The people who followed him did not find Xiao Yan, so they temporarily changed their minds and killed Cui Shao's family to take the blame. As for the jade pendant, it was Cui Ning who lost it on the way home. Bai Qiuchi was the daughter of the farmer in the mountain at that time, and maybe she had sneaked a peek at the scene where Cui Ning rescued Xiao Yan before, but Cui Ning didn't know it, she didn't know With Xiao Yan's identity, he didn't intend to cause trouble, he just picked up the jade pendant because of its value. In a few days, Cui Ning's parents both died, and he himself was reduced to prostitution. At that time, Xiao Yan will naturally not be able to wait for him.]
[Xie He: Gong Min surrendered to Xiao Yan. It is very important for him to participate in this matter, and he must explain it. When the two parties discuss it, they will naturally find that there is a misunderstanding. Combined with the date of the incident, Xiao Yan will be able to Want to understand the cause and effect.]
[Xie He: Cui Shao is honest and upright, even if there is no such thing, I am afraid that sooner or later he will be squeezed out by the prince and be framed and murdered, but Xiao Yan's jade pendant has directly accelerated the process, resulting in Cui Shao's death because of him . I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, Xiao Xiao may feel uncomfortable now.]
[444: So it is like this_(:зゝ∠)_]
[Xie He: However, with Xiao Xiao's cautious character, at this time, it is still not 100% sure that Cui Ning is the one who saved him. At this time, I need to give him a blow to the head, ha ha.]
[444:...]
Xie He arranged the meals, and Song Heng happened to be back.
When Song Heng returned to the house, he saw Xie He standing at the door waiting for him, showing him a soft smile, and his heart suddenly felt soft. In fact, he was called by the teacher today, the teacher valued him very much, and intended to betroth his daughter-in-law to him.
Song Heng's teacher is highly respected and has many disciples who are of great status. It would be very important for Song Heng's official career if he could marry the teacher's daughter-in-law, but Song Heng refused.
He looked at Xie He affectionately... His lover is so inferior and sensitive, if he married the teacher's prostitute, what would he do if he was bullied or wronged? This life is like a person who knows how warm and cold he is drinking water. He has thanks, peace and happiness are what he wishes in his heart. Why sacrifice the one he loves for the future
Besides, with his talent, does he have to rely on his wife's family to make a career
Xie He didn't know this, and greeted him as usual, and said with a smile: "My lord, you are back."
Song Heng held Xie He's arm, and said softly: "I've said it many times, don't wait for me at the door anymore." Xie He had inconvenient legs and feet, and he felt a little distressed looking at it.
Xie He's eyelashes trembled, a blush appeared on his cheeks, and he whispered, "But... I want to watch you come back..."
Song Heng was so sweet in his heart that he simply hugged Xie He and sat down on the chair, lovingly said: "Next time, don't allow it, just stay at home for me, don't do those rough jobs, your body still needs to take good care of you. .”
Xie Hexiu frowned slightly, "Then what's the use of me..."
He can't serve Song Heng now, he can only repay him as a slave, what's more, if he doesn't do those jobs, he can only wait for Song Heng to come back to do it... Let Song Heng, a big man, go home and serve him as a young man, How can this be made.
Seeing Xie He's appearance, Song Heng couldn't help sighing, thinking that he still had a long way to go, and this little wife had to be pampered slowly. He also didn't mention what the teacher said today at all. If Xie He knew about it, he would definitely persuade him to marry a wife and have children.
The two had a sweet dinner, when suddenly there was a rude knock on the door outside, and someone shouted loudly: "Open the door! Officials handle the case!"
Xie He's face turned pale, his identity could not be discovered by the government, and he lowered his voice in panic: "My lord, I'd better hide for a while."
Song Heng nodded. He waited for Xie He to leave before walking over and pushing the door open. Immediately, a few high-ranking and rough officials rushed in and said viciously: "Someone reported that you are hiding a fugitive slave in the palace!"
Song Heng's heart skipped a beat, he knew that Xie He had been bought by someone, but the palace... probably not... He took a deep breath and made an angry expression: "There is no such thing at all, how can you break into a private house without evidence! "
The official sneered: "Of course there is evidence, someone saw it with their own eyes."
He knew that Song Heng was the number one scholar and had an official position, so he would not have been so rude in the first place, but he had obtained permission from Shangfeng before he came, so there is no need to give this number one scholar face today, he must be arrested!
Song Heng stopped them and said coldly, "Who saw it?"
The official said with a chuckle: "Why? Is it possible that you still want to take revenge? You have a lot of courage, you little boy. Even King Su's servants dare to hide it privately. It's too late! Come, search for me!" As he spoke, the officer behind him broke in immediately and searched the house.
When Xie He heard what the officer said, his face turned pale with fright. He was afraid that he would be found guilty of Song Heng's crime, so he got into the rice vat and shrank in the innermost part, not daring to say a word.
Soon he heard footsteps approaching, and then felt someone smashing things everywhere in the house, but fortunately he was not found.
Song Heng's place is not big here, and the other party searched quickly, but he couldn't find Xie He, but the official didn't give up, and asked, "Where did you hide him?"
Song Heng said angrily: "There is no one else!"
The official sneered: "It seems that I won't admit it. It's okay. I will arrest you and have a trial. I guarantee that you will recruit everything."
Song Heng was chained and looked at them in disbelief: "How can you do this? Is there any law for the king! I have said it all, I have no escaped slaves in the palace!"
The officer smiled: "King Su is Wang Fa, take him away."
Xie He heard the noise outside and finally calmed down completely, and then he crawled out of the rice vat with difficulty. The room was in a mess, and Song Heng was no longer there...
His eyes were red, thinking of what he had just heard, he bit his lips tightly.
It's all his fault, he still hurt Song Heng... The prince doesn't want him anymore, why still won't let him go...
Xie He grabbed the crutches, put on the hood, and quietly slipped out through the back door.
[444: The host is big, not King Su! It was Shui Rong who reported it!]
[Xie He: I know, the prince's trick is really damaging. People only think that King Su is so arrogant and domineering. He dares to arrest Zhuangyuan Lang directly without evidence. It's easy to splash dirty water Rude and direct, tsk tsk.]
[444: (⊙o⊙) Oh!]
[Xie He: It's a pity, Yuan Jin doesn't know:)]
[444:...]
…………………
Xiao Yan left the teahouse, remembering what Gong Min said just now, if it was Cui Ning's words... everything was correct, maybe he just lost the jade pendant by accident, and Bai Qiuchi picked it up.
Xie He's frowns and smiles constantly appeared in front of his eyes, and when he closed his eyes, it was the feeling of him gently touching him...
And why didn't he recognize him...
How about recognizing the one he loves, who is his savior? !
Xiao Yan's eyes were red, he turned his head to look at Qi Qing, and said word by word: "Where do you put him?"
Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, Qi Qing didn't dare to delay for a moment, and said: "This subordinate hid him on the mountain."
Xiao Yan got on his horse, "Lead the way!"
Xiao Yan waved his whip, and the horse under his crotch neighed and galloped out. He couldn't wait to see him! He never knew that he would have such an impulsive desire to see someone... Xiao Yan's heart was full of regret, if something happened to Xie He, how could he forgive himself
Both of them were anxious, and finally came to the mountain, but the wooden house was deserted, obviously it had been empty for a while.
Xiao Yan looked at the empty room, filled with urgency and anticipation, as if there was a piece of emptiness in his heart, he knocked Qi Qing to the ground with his palm in extreme rage! He shouted: "This king asked you to send him out, is this how you take care of him?! You don't even know he's gone!"
Qi Qing blamed himself all over his face, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "This subordinate is not doing well."
At the beginning, because of his haste, he only left money to settle Xie He, thinking that he had suffered such a serious injury and had nowhere to go, so he shouldn't leave at will, and he didn't take Xie He as a prisoner... Who would have thought that Xie He would suddenly disappear, did he encounter any accidents? !
Qi Qing thought of Mrs. Zhao, and immediately rushed to the Orion's house with Xiao Yan.
Sister-in-law Zhao did not expect Qi Qing to come over so late, and the man who was with him had a serious expression on his face, and even fear in his heart. Under Qi Qing's questioning, he immediately explained everything that happened during that time, and said thank you Went away with a scholar named Song Heng.
Xiao Yan frowned. Hearing Song Heng's first reaction was the champion of the new department, but how could he have anything to do with Xie He? Could it be his former benefactor? Or is it just a person with the same name
The two left the mountain, Xiao Yan's eyes were gloomy, he looked at Qi Qing coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Dig three feet and find him for this king, if you can't find you, you don't have to come back!"
Qi Qing knelt on the ground, "Yes, this subordinate obeys!"
After finishing speaking, he parted ways with Xiao Yan, and he wanted to find Xie He himself!
Xiao Yan turned his horse around, wondering where Xie He was at this moment, and if something unexpected happened? He suffered such an injury and was living outside, what if he died... Or he was with another man, the scholar named Song Heng, it is said that he liked him very much.
As long as Xiao Yan thinks of Xie He looking at other men with those admiring and focused eyes, and serving other men with tenderness like water, he will feel inexplicable emotions surge up in his chest and suppress emotions. Is this... a feeling called jealousy? He would be jealous too.
Xiao Yan walked back with heavy steps.
He regrets so much why he didn't find out earlier... otherwise he would definitely protect him.
None of this will happen either...
Because Xiao Yan changed his face, he was going to return to the mansion through the back door. However, when he passed by the street, he heard shouting and cursing from the door. It seemed that someone without eyes was breaking into the palace. Xiao Yan frowned and turned his steps to walk over, thinking See what's going on, who knows that the familiar figure of the teenager was roughly pushed to the ground at a glance.
Xiao Yan was instantly furious, his eyes turned cold! Was the concierge of his palace so arrogant when he didn't know it? ! He strode over and kicked the concierge a few meters away! Then immediately reached out and gently lifted Xie He who was on the ground.
He fixedly looked at Xie He, until he held the person in his hand and stared at the soft and beautiful face from an extreme distance, and then he was sure that he was not dreaming.
The person he couldn't find anywhere came back by himself...
He was so happy at this moment that he was almost speechless.
Xie He thought he was about to be beaten, but he was rescued suddenly. When he turned his head, he saw a familiar face. The man looked at him with nervous and worried eyes. It was strange...
Xie He stared at him blankly, his eyes were puzzled at first, then turned into shock and surprise, and stammered: "It's you? You... why are you here? Are you still alive? Are you all healed?"
Xiao Yan looked into Xie He's eyes, and hearing him ask this sentence, the last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared.
Xie He is that person, otherwise how could he recognize him? !
This is the person he has been looking for...
[Ding, the target Xiao Yan's favorability degree +10, the current favorability degree is 85]
There were waves in Xiao Yan's eyes. At this moment, the concierge who was beaten went back to the mansion and called someone out, but he wanted to deal with these two ignorant people who dared to make trouble in front of the palace! They didn't know Xie He, nor did they know Xiao Yan who had changed his face. Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. This is not the place to talk, so he immediately picked up Xie He and left quickly!
Xie He didn't expect this man to take him away without saying a word, his face was full of anxiety, and his voice was urgent, "You, you put me down, I want to go back!"
Xiao Yan hugged Xie He and walked for a long distance, until no one caught up behind him, then carefully put Xie He down, changed his voice with a hoarse voice, and whispered: "You...why do you want to go back..."
His mood was quite complicated. He remembered what he had done to Xie He before, and his heart was full of self-blame and guilt, and he felt ashamed to face it.
Xie He's eyes were full of anxiety and sadness. He thought of Song Heng who had been taken away, and said, "I... I'm going to see King Su..."
Xiao Yan looked at Xie He's pitiful appearance, and wanted to go up to appease him, but remembering his current identity, fearing that Xie He would be abrupt, he could only ask in a low voice: "Do you want to see King Su?"
Xie He nodded, with tears in his eyes, "You, can you help me? I can't enter the palace...but I have to see the prince."
Xiao Yan stared at Xie He's beautiful eyes, and heard him say in a soft voice that he wanted to see him, feeling apprehensive and delighted, and couldn't help but have a thought, could it be that Xie He still... likes him? Otherwise why risk coming back to meet him? After all, I had hurt him that way.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan secretly made up his mind that he would treat him well in the future and never let him be wronged again!
He will never let him leave him again!
Xiao Yan couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces of his time in Jiangzhou, and also of the scenes he met later. The person he loves and misses is exactly the same as he imagined, even more beautiful... The feeling that sprouted in his heart back then began to uncontrollable Crazy growth, feelings fermented rapidly, only then did I realize that I like someone, want someone in such a mood, so longing and can't wait.
[Ding, target Xiao Yan's favorability degree +5, current favorability degree 90]
Xiao Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart, without directly revealing his identity, he said, "Okay, I will help you."
Xie He showed a grateful look, and looked at him with tears, "Thank you." He also had no choice but to go to the doctor in a hurry. After thinking about it, he felt uneasy, and said: "Well, that... If it is very If it's dangerous, forget it, I'll go see the prince myself."
After all, he can't hurt innocent people because of his own affairs, the prince is so ruthless, this trip is really risky.
Xiao Yan felt Xie He's heart, he clearly wanted to see him so much, but he was still worried about hurting him, so kind... This is the person who saved him back then. Xiao Yan's eyes became more gentle, and he said softly: "It's okay, I can take you in, there will be no danger."
Xie He breathed a sigh of relief, and saluted Xiao Yan deeply, "Thank you." He stood up with difficulty as he spoke, he was hugged and left by Xiao Yan just now, and he even forgot to take his crutches, so he couldn't find any leverage at the moment I can only barely stand by leaning on the wall.
Only then did Xiao Yan realize that Xie He was inconvenient to move, remembering the torture in the dungeon... Thinking of Xie He's blood dripping all over his body, the regret and pain in his heart almost overwhelmed him, washing away the joy of reunion just now, reminding him of the crime he committed. unforgivable mistake.
Xiao Yan was silent for a long time, he stretched out his hand and hugged Xie He carefully, as if holding a treasure, his voice was astringent, "Don't move, I will take you in."
Xie He felt very uncomfortable being held in Xiao Yan's arms, but remembering that Song Heng might be suffering, he pursed his lips and did not speak.
Xiao Yan directly hugged Xie He and climbed over the wall, and made a gesture quietly, so the guards of the palace did not surround him, and let Xiao Yan hug Xie He into the palace. Xie He didn't know this, and thought that Xiao Yan's martial arts were so powerful that no one would be able to discover them, so he was very nervous.
Xiao Yan carried Xie He directly to his courtyard, put him in an empty corner, turned around and broke a branch for Xie He, and said, "You go to see the prince."
Xie He nodded movedly, "I see, you go quickly! It will be bad if you are caught."
Xiao Yan said, "Okay."
He had to change clothes to see Xie He.
Xiao Yan left Xie He, and immediately greeted the hidden guards and eunuchs in the yard, telling them to avoid them all, don't scare Xie He, and quickly changed his clothes and took the mask, and then waited in the study. Xie He came to find him.
In the end, after waiting for a long time, Xie He didn't come over. Xiao Yan paced back and forth, regretting that he didn't tell Xie He where he was just now.
After a while, unable to stay any longer, Xiao Yan pushed the door and went out to find Xie He. After walking a few steps, he saw a thin and slender figure with a cane, walking here step by step with difficulty. He looked around cautiously, lest he be caught.
Xiao Yan's face was tense, and he tried his best not to show any abnormality, so that his appearance looked a little serious, and then he pretended to walk over there casually.
Xie He walked in the familiar palace, and couldn't help but think of the pain it brought him, as well as the hypocritical tenderness... If he could, he would never want to come back here in his life, but he has no other choice...
He walked very carefully, lest he would be caught before he saw the prince, but today seemed to be lucky, there was no one here, he searched along the corridor room by room, but he couldn't find Xiao Yan, just because he was discouraged Suddenly, he noticed a tall figure walking towards him.
The man is dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, wearing a high crown, and has a stern appearance. Is it Xiao Yan or who
Xie He was terrified, but he still yelled: "My lord."
Xiao Yan looked at him deeply, he didn't know why Xie He was looking for him, he was nervous and afraid that he would frighten him if he said the wrong thing, so he had to keep a straight face.
Seeing Xiao Yan's expressionless face, Xie He thought of this person's ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness, and thought to himself that he might be on the verge of death today, how could the prince bypass him as a fugitive slave? But since he came back, he didn't plan to go back alive.
He knelt down facing Xiao Yan with a 'plop'. Because his knee was injured, kneeling down like this was almost like breaking his legs. His face was pale from the pain, his body was covered with cold sweat, and he was trembling.
Xiao Yan didn't expect Xie He to kneel when he said kneeling. Seeing his painful expression, his heart ached! I was going to help him up immediately, but before he got close, I saw Xie He raised his head, with a look of sadness and despair in his eyes, he kowtowed heavily to him, and begged in a trembling voice, "Please let the prince let Song go!" My lord, I am willing to die, I just beg the prince to let Lord Song go..."
