Xie Tong rushed in in a hurry, and was startled when he saw the clothes being lifted in the room, he hesitated and said, "My lord, these clothes are..."
"I gave it to you." Wei Lan stood up, handed the comb to Xie Tong, and said with a sigh of relief, "Come and wash your son."
After speaking, Wei Lan went to the other table, took out the book, and prepared for tomorrow's homework. Xie Tong knelt on one side, brushing Xie Zichen's hair, and said, "My lord, Your Majesty has put Zhang Yushi in prison."
"En." Xie Zichen nodded, the ending was not what he expected.
The two sons are not worry-free, and it is impossible for the emperor to punish both sons. Naturally, he wanted to drag Zhang Huaisheng out to make up for the crime, not to mention, he was indeed the one who sent people to kill people.
"Who will judge?" Xie Zichen focused on this, Xie Tong glanced aside, and said a name, Xie Zichen finally had waves in his eyes, but said: "It is not so easy to let someone with no qualifications come in such a case. of."
"So the two sides are deadlocked," Xie Tong said in a low voice, "Your Majesty seems to be very angry, and went down halfway, but called Zuo Xiang, Shang Shupushe, Shang Shuling, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment to the imperial study."
Xie Zichen nodded, and said, "Where is Zhang Huaisheng's position?"
"Censor Zhongcheng Wang Nan took the top job."
Wang Nan is an upright person and has never participated in these factional struggles. Because of his noble background, it doesn't matter too much. But if he remembers correctly, Wang Nan will be ill in a few years, if Wang Xi can enter Yushitai, it will be just for Wang Nan to give him the position.
They don't need to do anything these years, they just need to help the prince not to go wrong, and wait until the emperor dies in peace, and everything will be safe. Now that Zhang Huaisheng is gone, and the biggest helper who helped the prince wear small shoes to splash sewage is gone, the prince can breathe a sigh of relief.
But there was one thing that made Xie Zichen quite concerned.
"Alan," Xie Tong put the jade crown on him, he looked at himself in the mirror, and said calmly, "Your Majesty wants you to preside over this case, are you surprised?"
Hearing this, Wei Lan was slightly taken aback, touched her chin with interest and said, "It seems that His Majesty really has no one to use."
This case involved his two sons, and he didn't want too many people to know about it, which was naturally his reason for using Wei Lan. However, based on this reason alone, it would be too much to support Wei Lan, a child who is still in school, to preside over the case.
When the two were thinking about the reason why the emperor wanted to use Wei Lan, an anxious voice came in from outside.
"Alan, Alan!" As he said, Huan Heng rushed in, grabbed Wei Lan's shoulder, looked at him and said, "I heard that you were injured in the hall, but it's true? Who doesn't have eyes? If I touch you, I will kill him!"
"Calm down," Xie Zichen glanced coldly at Huan Heng's hand, seeing that Wei Lan was smiling and didn't respond, he immediately pulled Huan Heng aside with his hands, and said coldly, "She has a shoulder injury."
Huan Heng was taken aback for a moment, then jumped up: "You are really injured?! Just because of that Su Cheng?!"
Hearing this, Xie Zichen frowned deeply, Wei Lan casually took a sip of tea, and wrote lightly: "Ah Heng doesn't need to worry, this injury is nothing."
"Fart!" Huan Heng cursed angrily: "Is he, Su Cheng, as good as a hair of yours? He was injured because of him, what is he!"
"Mr. Huan, be careful." Just after Huan Heng finished speaking, a cold eunuch's voice came from outside. The three of them looked up and found that it was Wang Guoliang, Su Cheng's servant. Smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes, holding a jade pendant in his hand, standing respectfully, he bowed to salute, but turned to Wei Lan and said: "Wei Shizi, Your Highness asked the servant to bring this warm jade to you. As His Highness has all the heart for the son, I hope His Highness accepts it with a smile."
With that said, Wang Guoliang transferred the jade pendant to Ranmo. Ran Mo sent the jade pendant to Wei Lan's hand, Wei Lan weighed it in her hand, and said with a smile in her eyes: "Then, please thank Your Highness, Eunuch."
"Young Master, as long as you like it." Wang Guoliang saluted, "Your servant will leave now."
After finishing speaking, Wang Guoliang still knelt respectfully, until Wei Lan waved his hand, Wang Guoliang got up and left. Wei Lan held the warm jade pendant in her hand, looked at Wang Guoliang's back, and frowned, "He's a man who knows the rules."
"Of course." Xie Zichen stared at Wang Guoliang's back, and beyond everyone's expectations, he continued to comment on the eunuch. Wei Lan looked at Xie Zichen in surprise, Xie Zichen lowered his eyes, showing no expression.
After Wang Guoliang left, there were only the three of them left in the room. Xie Zichen looked at Huan Heng's aggrieved appearance, got up and said, "I'll go to see the prince first." Then he left the room and waited for Xie Zichen to leave. Finally, Wei Lan thought what Huan Heng would say, so she waited quietly. She never thought that after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear Huan Heng speak, so she raised her head and said, "Ah Heng?"
"Alan," Huan Heng looked at the wound on Wei Lan's body and frowned, "Why did you help Su Cheng?"
"I have my own reasons." Wei Lan never thought that Huan Heng would take care of these things, she shook her head and said: "A Heng, if you want to stay in Shengjing, just keep it for a while, after a while, Let's go back."
Saying that, Wei Lan stood up and looked at Huan Heng's crumpled sleeves. He was not used to Shengjing's wide-sleeved dresses, and always made them crooked, like a child. Hands to help him straighten his clothes, her hands are wearing a faint fragrance, it is a kind of fragrance that belongs to Wei Lan, a bit like orchids, but more elegant. She has always been very particular, even in those years in the military camp, she has always insisted on taking baths and bathing, scented and maintained. Her hands are fair and tender, slender and softer than ordinary men's hands, and more slender and distinct than ordinary women's hands.
Such jade-like hands brushed his neck with fragrance, pulled his clothes on, then hugged him behind him as if hugging him, straightened his belt, and finally raised his hands, holding them in his hands. On the jade crown, crown it for him.
For a moment, a subtle feeling surged in Huan Heng's heart. He looked at the person in front of him who happened to be in front of him. Just before she stopped, he grabbed her hand, and that hand was like him. Generally smooth and tender, with a slight coolness, Wei Lan looked up at him, a little puzzled in her eyes.
"Alan," Huan Heng's heart beat a little faster: "Follow me back to the north."
He said this without thinking, he didn't have too many thoughts, he just wanted to let Wei Lan go back with him, and arrange the clothes and hair crown for him for a lifetime.
Wei Lan seemed to think he was joking, she tilted her head and said, "I'll go back with you, what about my family?"
Huan Heng frowned, thinking about this question seriously, aware of Huan Heng's seriousness, Wei Lan didn't tease him anymore, instead she held his hand, looked into his clear eyes, and sighed: "Ah Heng, I won't go back, I told you when I left, Shengjing is my destination."
"What's so good here!" Huan Heng squeezed Wei Lan's hand, a little anxiously: "What's worth your concern?"
Hearing this, Wei Lan couldn't help laughing.
She pulled her hand away from Huan Heng's, and Huan Heng wanted to hold it tight, but met the other's eyes.
Wei Lan has Wei Lan's bottom line, he has always understood it.
He slumped and let go, seeing the person in front of him standing with his hands behind his back, turned around and looked into the distance.
"Aheng, what kind of flower should bloom in the soil. You are not suitable for Shengjing, and I am not suitable for the north either."
Hearing this, Huan Heng slowly clenched his fists.
"You are not suitable for the north, so what are you doing in the north for so many years?"
He gritted his teeth and opened his mouth, but after speaking, he felt unwilling to listen to Wei Lan's explanation. In fact, when he was still in the north, he knew that Wei Lan did not belong to them. No matter at any time, Wei Lan always carries the aristocratic style of Shengjing. She can survive in the north, and she can live better in Shengjing. It's just that he can't let go, maybe it's this difference that makes his eyes stay on this person for a long time.
He is still young, and he doesn't know what kind of feeling it is, he thinks, probably because this is Wei Lan, such a different Wei Lan, who has been with him for so many years, so no matter what kind of feeling it is, he thinks If they can ride the horse hand in hand for the rest of their lives, that's all.
So she said goodbye to him, and he turned around and came all the way to Shengjing. On the day he came, his father asked him: "What if you die in Shengjing?"
"You're dead, I won't pick up your bones, and I won't let you into our Huan family's ancestral camp."
At that time, listening to this, he didn't have any fear. Instead, he smiled frankly, riding on the horse, and said loudly: "Alan will collect the body for me."
He has never been afraid. In this life, he is like a leopard who is not afraid of life and death. When he has a goal, he goes madly. However, this minute, he feels scared.
So he raised his hand and stopped Wei Lan's words: "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it anymore. All I know is, Wei Lan, one day, I will take you back."
"I don't like Shengjing, I don't like people in Shengjing, and I don't like you in Shengjing." He looked at her, his eyes were full of heat: "But you like it, then I will accompany you. One day you can't stay anymore Yes, I will take you away."
Wei Lan didn't speak, she looked at him sideways, and smiled gently, the smile was clear and shallow, filled with layers of mist that Huan Heng couldn't understand.
"Aheng," she said softly, "I hope that one day, my extremely human minister, you sit in the north, I will keep your rear safe, and you will keep the country safe and sound. You and I will join hands and let the great Chu cavalry flatten the north and the south." , Take me to the world of Han."
She said, slowly approaching him, her words seemed to describe an extremely beautiful dream, Huan Heng fantasized about the appearance at that time, indulged in it, until the other party came to him, he finally reacted, and then heard the scene in front of him This jade-like young man said calmly, "You and I will be brothers who depend on each other for life and death."
Huan Heng didn't speak, he looked at Wei Lan, and after a long time, he hugged her tightly.
"I promise you," he said hoarsely, "you and I will be brothers who depend on each other for life and death. Even if one day, you point your sword at Shengjing..."
"Aheng," Wei Lan said gently, patting him on the back: "There is no need to make a sound."
Some words don't need to be spoken.
Huan Heng hugged the person in his arms, his heart that had been terrified all these days finally felt soothed, joy swayed in his heart layer by layer, just as he was about to say something, he heard a suppressed smile "cough". The two turned their heads and saw Wang Xi and Lin Che standing at the door. Lin Che looked at the two hugging them with eyes full of shock, but Wang Xi's eyes were full of jokes that could not be suppressed.
"You guys," Wang Xi pointed at the two who had just let go with a fan, and said with a smile, "Would you like to talk to each other?"
"Ah Xi was joking," Wei Lan brushed off her wrinkled sleeves, and looked the two of them up and down: "You are here to ask about His Highness the Third Highness?"
"It's your injury." Lin Che said with some embarrassment: "We have already known about the matter of His Highness the Third Highness."
Wei Lan nodded, and greeted the two to sit down. They chatted casually, and Xie Zichen came back. Seeing how lively the room was, he raised his eyebrows, as if a little surprised.
Xie Zichen also came in, Wei Lan finally came to his senses, clapped his hands and said: "You are all here, I just remembered that I have a happy event in Changxinhou's residence in a few days, and I hope you will come to support it."
Hearing this, Xie Zichen, who had just knelt down, froze, and everyone showed curious expressions. Wei Lan smiled slightly: "My sister Wei Hua, I want to betroth her to my friend Lin Xia. In the future, I will hire from door to door, and I hope that brothers can help to support the scene."
She Changxinhou's marriage is naturally going to be grand. However, when they heard the news, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they didn't feel the same joy. Huan Heng was the first to react, and yelled suddenly: "Alan, your sister is going to marry, why not marry me?!"
Wei Lan raised her eyebrows, quite surprised.
Wang Xi also nodded, sighed and said: "Alan's sister, who is also a compatriot, must also be a beauty, so she got engaged so quietly, and she didn't even leave me a chance."
"Yes... yes..." Lin Che held back for a long time, blushing, and finally said, "I was... originally..."
Wei Lan couldn't help but take a breath because so many people in the room fell in love with Wei Hua, thinking that looks are really important in this world. She subconsciously looked at Xie Zichen, and vaguely recalled that this should be the one who proposed to pursue Wei Hua the first time.
However, it may be that he chased him earlier and rejected him earlier. Xie Zichen's face was flat at the moment, and he didn't respond to the news. Everyone present remembered the rumor that Xie Zichen pursued Wei Hua and was beaten by Wei Lan. Looking at him, Wang Xi asked first instead of everyone: "Brother Zichen, go to Wei Lan for Mr. Lin." What are your thoughts on Miss getting married?"
"What does it have to do with me?" Xie Zichen took a sip of tea indifferently: "It's not that Prince Wei is getting married."
If she is married...
Xie Zichen's eyes darkened, but he didn't dare to think about it. However, upon hearing Wei Lan's marriage, Huan Heng's expression changed. For some reason, when he thought of a woman who would grow old with Wei Lan, he felt as if he was being pricked by a needle, and it hurt densely. So he nodded and echoed, "That's right, luckily it wasn't Ah Lan who got married."
"Then," Wei Lan smiled slightly: "Alan, please go to Lin Xia's place that day and save me face."
Everyone agreed to such a trivial matter, and Wei Lan greeted Ji Shao and Ruan Kangcheng again, and the group applied to leave the palace that afternoon, and then went to the imperial medical office in a mighty way to guard Lin Xia.
A few days ago, Lin Xia successfully entered the Imperial Medical Office, starting from the lowest level of medical officers. The Imperial Medical Office is mostly a place for ordinary nobles. At this moment, I saw the carriages of the Lin family, Wang family, Xie family, and Changxinhou's mansion. Yi Pai Hou was outside, and the medical officers who came out earlier immediately knew that they were waiting for someone, and they didn't know who was putting on airs to make these proud sons of heaven wait outside. The medical officers thought about the newcomer, but couldn't figure out who it was, so they simply turned back and hid in the dark, trying to wait for this "noble man" to come out.
When the sun goes down, it is reasonable to say that all the people from the Imperial Medical Office should come out. However, after waiting for a long time, there is no one. Ran Mo is a little anxious, Wei Lan sits in the carriage and flips through the book, but she is not impatient. Mo thought for a while, then stood up suddenly: "My lord, I'll go and see..."
Before he finished speaking, Ran Mo's eyes widened, and he saw a man with his face covered, stooping and running out of the Imperial Medical Office like a thief.
With such a wretched appearance, there is no one else but Lin Xia. Wei Lan stretched, stood up, and said calmly, "Catch her here."
"Yes." Ran Mo immediately jumped over and grabbed Lin Xia. The young masters heard the voice, talked and laughed, and got out of their carriages together with Wei Lan.
When everyone got out of the carriage, Lin Xia was just brought over. She knew something was wrong when she saw Wei Lan, so she tried her best to cover her face with her sleeves. Wei Lan frowned, pressed her hand with a fan, and took the The face is exposed.
Lin Xia immediately closed her eyes, Wei Lan saw the whip marks on Lin Xia's face, and said coldly, "Who beat you?"
Hearing Wei Lan's tone, everyone immediately knew that someone was going to be in trouble. While looking at Wei Lan's future brother-in-law, everyone speculated who was beating someone in the imperial medical office.
"Your Majesty," Lin Xia smiled obsequiously, "Why are you so..."
"Who hit it?" Wei Lan squinted her eyes, and Lin Xia immediately replied obediently: "It's a patient."
"Where?"
This time Lin Xia behaved well, raised her hand, and pointed inside, Wei Lan walked in without saying a word, holding Lin Xia's collar. Lin Xia was dragged by her to the door of the Imperial Medical Office. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she saw Ran Mo kick the door open and said seriously, "Go inside, Shizi."
Everyone was taken aback by her bandit behavior, only Xie Zichen and Huan Heng followed suit, seeing their hesitation, Huan Heng turned his head and said, "Let's go, what are you afraid of?"
Lin Che swallowed, feeling ominous: "Wang Qi," he said nervously, "Is nothing wrong?"
"Something happened..." Wang Xi pondered, and then said seriously: "Then let something happen."
After finishing speaking, he took Lin Che, Ji Shao, Ruan Kangcheng and walked in.
Wei Lan walked quickly, and under Lin Xia's command, she entered the inner courtyard of the Imperial Medical Office where the patients were taken care of. Just when she saw the medical officer walk in, Wei Lan looked at the medical officer, and Xie Zichen pulled the medical officer away. over here.
"Do you know her?" Xie Zichen pointed at Lin Xia, and the medical officer also had a wink, and immediately understood that Lin Xia brought people here to seek revenge, and these people were obviously either rich or expensive, not just him. A medical officer from a family background can be offended, so he immediately said: "Young Master, I have never bullied Lin Xia, if you don't believe me, ask her!"
"Bullying?" Wei Lan turned to look at Lin Xia, who looked up at the sky and pretended not to hear anything. Wei Lan shook Lin Xia vigorously, and Lin Xia immediately said: "My son, let go! I say, I can say anything! That is, I was born in white clothes." Lin Xia was a little embarrassed: "Well, geniuses are always dismissed by others. jealous."
"So, you didn't come back when you were bullied?" Wei Lan sneered, "It's up to the master to beat a dog. You don't want to lose face, but I want it!"
If others know that her brother's wife is a coward outside, and whoever wants to slap her in the face can slap her in the face, what face does Wei Lan have
Wei Lan felt angry, pointed at the welt marks on Lin Xia's face, looked at the medical officer beside her and said, "Who hit her on the face?"
"Zhang...Second Master Zhang..."
"Who?" Wei Lan looked at Wang Xi, who knew everything about Shengjing. Wang Xi held back a smile and reminded: "The son of Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, the younger brother of Zhang Sheng, who is accompanied by His Highness the Third Highness, and serves as the supervisor of a thousand soldiers in the Nancheng Army. Captain."
"Chief Superintendent of Thousand People?" Wei Lan sneered and looked at Lin Xia: "Lead the way."
Lin Xia walked forward to lead the way without making a sound, and then came to a noisy room. There seemed to be many people laughing in the room. The Nancheng Army competed today and injured many people, so Second Young Master Zhang brought the imperial doctor Many of the soldiers were not in a good temper. When Lin Xia was bandaging up, he was a little heavy handed, so he was whipped out by Zhang Ergong.
Lin Xia briefly talked about the process. When reaching the door, Ran Mo was about to kick the door, and Wei Lan had already kicked the door open.
When she kicked the door, the people inside became alert and drew their knives on the spot. Wei Lan stood at the door, looked at the dozens of soldiers crowded inside, threw Lin Xia aside, brushed off her sleeves, and was gentle. Smiling: "Which one is Second Young Master Zhang?"
"Who the hell are you?" A little boy standing in the middle stood up, slapping his palms with a whip, and walked up to Wei Lan, scrutinizing her face unscrupulously: "This girl is so handsome, Wearing a man's clothes, who are you trying to seduce?"
Hearing this, Ran Mo's expression turned cold for an instant, Wei Lan's face remained still, and she pulled out the folding fan in her hand. The folding fan was fast, fierce and accurate, and quickly hit Zhang Er. Zhang Er didn't even have time to react. He knelt down on the spot, let out a cry of pain, and was about to get up, when Xie Zichen pressed his shoulders and pushed him down on the spot.
"You fucking..."
Zhang Er cursed angrily, but before he finished speaking, he was kicked away by Huan Heng. Huan Heng tossed the hem of his clothes, and used a louder voice to swear a string of dirty words learned in the general camp. While chasing and kicking Zhang Er, he said angrily: "You look like A Lan again, I peeled your skin!"
Kicking, Zhang Er vomited a mouthful of blood, and the people of Nancheng Army came to his senses and cursed angrily: "You bastards!"
Hearing this, Wang Xi frowned. At this moment, dozens of soldiers in the room had rushed out and surrounded them. One of them even sent a signal to the sky. At this moment, Lin Che's expression turned completely cold.
They didn't expect to encounter such a thing when they came, and they didn't bring many guards, and these people obviously wouldn't really kill them, and it seemed too ostentatious to use the hidden guards, so Wang Xi sighed, Some helplessly said: "Alan, after meeting you, my life is really much more colorful."
This seemed to be his first street fight.
Wei Lan still kept her usual gentle smile, while Huan Heng tossed the jade crown and tore off the hem of her usual clothes. Wei Lan twitched and said hastily, "Ah Heng, there is no need for such a big battle."
"Don't worry about it, Ah Lan," Huan Heng spat, and said viciously, "I want them to know what a real soldier is!"
Wei Lan: "..."
After a while, she looked at Huan Heng who was rushing forward, feeling a little helpless.
"as long as you are happy… "
As she spoke, she raised her small fan, and slapped away a person who was rushing towards her.
Neither side had any intention of killing people, the other party had a lot of people, and for a while they had an inseparable fight with them. Wei Lan was always calm and calm, but the others showed some enthusiasm. Wei Lan watched Ji Shao, who is always elegant, raised the table and pulled everyone away in front of the weapon, and ran while pulling, with her hair scattered and roaring: "Come on! If you have the guts, go for it!", she felt that she seemed to have done something. ... not so good.
The Nancheng Army set up a signal light, and soldiers not far away rushed over.
A group of people fought hand-to-hand for a while, and Wei Lan saw that the situation was not right, so she opened the way, and let Huan Heng and Xie Zichen call people to follow her and break out. The few people didn't have time to think about anything, they ran all the way with Wei Lan, Wei Lan turned into an alley, then rushed out of the city, and finally got rid of the pursuers when they came to the edge of the moat on the outskirts of the city. After being thrown away, everyone stopped panting, Ji Shao, who was not very strong, sat down, Wang Xi and the others leaned against the tree, panting, only Wei Lan and Xie Zichen remained calm all the time , everyone panted for a while, and then looked at each other in blank dismay. After a while, Wang Xi laughed out loud.
"There is wind and moon here, so there should be a glass of sake!"
He laughed loudly.
Wei Lan hooked the corners of her mouth, but Xie Zichen walked out to the crowd in the distance without saying a word.
"What is he going to do?" Lin Che was a little surprised, Wei Lan didn't speak, she looked at the back of the man walking away, and felt for the first time that since she knew Xie Zichen, she had never seen his back like this.
In the past, his back was always clear and cold, as if a person was a world, but tonight, he seemed to have finally melted into this world.
Not long after, Xie Zichen came back with a bunch of wine bottles in his hands and threw them out one by one.
Everyone raised their hands to catch it, and then watched Xie Zichen lift the wine bottle.
"There is wind and moon, there is wine and there are people, gentlemen, how can you not have a drink?"
