Wei Lan walked into the room, looked at Xie Zichen's expression, smiled faintly, handed the cloak on to Ranmo, entered the room calmly, took the handkerchief from the servant, and said with a smile: "How can Zichen Such a question?"
"Back off!" Xie Zichen yelled angrily. Seeing Xie Zichen's expression, the surrounding servants took a look at Wei Lan. Wei Lan nodded, and everyone backed away.
Wei Lan threw the handkerchief into the water basin, and came to Xie Zichen, who pursed his lips, but kept asking: "Who did you bring back to the mansion today? Why can't you even see me? You went to see me again today?" who?"
Wei Lan smiled and said nothing, took Xie Zichen's hand and pulled him to the table.
With Xie Zichen being pulled by her like this, the anxiety in his heart became much less, and he realized that he had lost his composure.
When it comes to things related to Wei Lan, he often loses his sense of control. And the other party just looked at him with a slight smile, opened the teacup on the table, poured tea for him, and said clearly: "Zichen went to the backyard?"
Xie Zichen said nothing, and as soon as she left, he asked someone to inquire about her whereabouts today. Wei Lan has always been cautious, and no one dares to get too close to her, that is, to take advantage of the mixed fish and dragons during the day to keep up with her occasionally. Although it is not clear where she went, there is a general direction. However, Wei Lan was very cautious today. The spies said that she disappeared after she went to court, but she returned to Changxinhou's mansion alone at night. She kept a close watch on that person, and she couldn't get close to him unless she was a close friend.
It was obvious that she had found something, but she told him that she couldn't find anything.
He didn't know what was going on, so he panicked and wanted to check who was in the yard, but Wei Lan guarded that person tightly, and he couldn't see him at all, so he waited for Wei Lan in the house .
The longer Wei Lan was away, the more uneasy he felt. Now that she finally came back, he had to figure out what she wanted to do, so he could deal with it tomorrow.
Wei Lan is only eighteen years old, so naturally he has to do more about things in the court. He was also annoyed today when he heard that she didn't find out what she said, but when he thought about her age, his uncle's heart calmed down.
Still young, still have to teach well. So now that Wei Lan doesn't explain her actions clearly to him, Xie Zichen can't help feeling a little anxious.
So he admitted frankly: "Yes, I heard that you brought someone back, and you told me that you didn't find anything, Alan, you are hiding it from me."
Wei Lan sneered in her heart, he kept a big secret from her, but wanted her to tell the truth about everything, so the business might have gone too well. However, she kept her face still and lowered her eyes: "I have my own sense of proportion in my heart. You can go to the theater tomorrow, so don't worry."
"You..." Xie Zichen still wanted to speak, but the other party directly pulled him over, raised his head and kissed him.
She lightly licked the tip of his tongue, and Xie Zichen's mind went blank for an instant. She was already very familiar with his body, and Xie Zichen gasped in a low voice after a while. He held down her hand with great willpower, and said with difficulty: "Don't try to get away with it!"
"Oh." Wei Lan nodded, but wrapped the tip of her tongue around his earlobe, continued to fiddle with it, and said in a hoarse voice: "Then I stop?"
Xie Zichen couldn't stop.
He closed his eyes, panted lightly, and finally said, "Go to bed."
Wei Lan laughed lightly, but his wish was not fulfilled.
All the way from the ground to the bed, back and forth several times, Wei Lan's hands were sore, and Xie Zichen was so tired that he fell asleep directly. When he woke up, Wei Lan had already put on the court clothes and went to court ahead of schedule. Xie Zichen lay on the bed, knowing that today must be bad.
But he doesn't understand, he doesn't know what Wei Lan is going to do, and why Wei Lan is hiding it from him. Before he thought that Wei Lan was dead, but seeing her and Huan Heng's heartache surged up, he couldn't help but understand a little bit.
Even if this person sleeps in the same bed with you, even if they promise each other for life, but in her bones, she never takes him seriously.
Although he was not in such a hurry, nor did he imagine that Wei Lan would come back from the north, sleep with him a few times, chat more, and agree to marry him, he would regard him as a unique and absolutely trustworthy existence in his heart, and he knew it himself. Wei Lan's heart is to find a way, plan a little bit, and then slowly tie it back. But if he really had to face this fact, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
After washing, she changed into her court clothes, and when she arrived at the gate of the palace, Wei Lan had already stood there.
Xie Zichen walked in front of her, under the palace lantern, her jade-like skin was reflected by the crimson government, showing a little rosy, Xie Zichen looked at this person's face, and felt that he wanted to be pampered, but also a little helpless.
What does he care about with an eighteen-year-old boy
Uncle Xie pondered in his heart, and he didn't want to get angry anymore, so he said to Wei Lan, "Have you planned everything for today?"
"Don't worry, Zichen," Wei Lan smiled, "Nothing will go wrong."
Xie Zichen nodded, and the two waited for the opening of the dynasty.
After the opening of the dynasty, he asked about some daily matters as usual, and then the emperor asked, "Where is Shen Shangshu?"
——Actually, Shen Qiuhe had already died, and Wei Lan had already reported the result to the emperor.
However, when the emperor asked, Wei Lan had no choice but to speak, went out and knelt down in the tunnel and said, "Your Majesty, I have an answer."
"Your Majesty, I also have a book to play!"
At the same time, Wang Xi came out and spoke at the same time as Wei Lan.
The appearance of Wang Xi made everyone stunned, no one knew what he wanted to do, except Wei Lan.
The emperor couldn't help feeling a little strange, so he said to Wang Xi, "Let's talk to Wang Qing's family first."
"Your Majesty," Wang Xi knelt impartially and said seriously, "Wang Xi requested the Ministry of Punishment to examine the case of Marquis Yongchang's military salary!"
As soon as the words came out, there was an uproar. Xie Zichen couldn't help frowning.
The case of Marquis Yongchang was the one that caused a sensation in the court.
Marquis Yongchang was wronged back then, and his son Yan Lan was replaced by his adoptive mother. Fifteen years later, Yan Lan came back to take revenge and killed Jiang Xiao, Chu Chen, Shen Qiuhe, and when he assassinated Zhang Cheng, he was killed by the third prince. He was caught by his staff on the spot.
Back then, Xie Zichen was from Sucheng, so after he learned the truth from Yan Lan, he tried every means to obliterate the truth. Yan Lan was also sentenced to death, and kept Zhang Cheng and others. With this case, Zhang Cheng was overthrown. Zhang Cheng's son, Zhang Sheng, inherited his father's position at such a young age and became Minister of the Ministry of War. , and he helped that child become the emperor without knowing the relationship between the two.
Such a key person, when Wei Lan and Wang Xi were drinking in Chengfeng Pavilion, he recognized it at a glance. Back then, he was on guard against Yan Lan because he was from Su Cheng, but now he is from the prince, so naturally he would not use this knife.
So he let Yan Lan kill people, and then handed Yan Lan over to Wei Lan. After Wei Lan provided some evidence, after Yan Lan killed Shen Qiuhe, Wei Lan reported him again, which was considered a great achievement.
But in his previous life, Wang Xi did not mention Shen Qiuhe's case at this time.
After all, Wang Xi was already dead at that time.
This is always a new time and space, Xie Zichen sighed. I have already thought about it. Wang Xi has never been involved in this case from the beginning to the end. How can Wang Xi penetrate such a secret matter? Wei Lan must have asked him to do this.
If Wei Lan knew about the old case of Marquis Yongchang, then the person last night was probably Yan Lan.
Xie Zichen thought about the situation quickly, and listened to Wang Xi start talking about the clues he found when he checked the receipt documents for the military pay. According to the rules, the army submits the military salary budget to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War approves it and passes it to the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Households distributes the money. When the money is sent to the army, the person in charge of the army will have a reply letter equivalent to a proof of receipt. It was Shen Qiuhe who dealt with the matter of Marquis Yongchang's military salary back then, but the name of Marquis Yongchang on the receipt document did not seem to be written by Marquis Yongchang himself.
After starting from here, several officials came out one after another, saying that the Yongchanghou case was full of doubts, and begging to be reborn in the Yongchanghou case.
Zhang Cheng stood aside, pretending to be calm. After all, he didn't say his name at the moment, but his palms were already dripping with cold sweat.
He was thinking in his heart, why didn't Shen Qiuhe come today? After a while, he had to go to him to discuss it.
When the emperor and Su Cheng heard Wang Xi's words, they couldn't help feeling a little pimple in their hearts.
They knew that Shen Qiuhe died yesterday, and it was too coincidental for Wang Xi to mention this matter today.
Both father and son were suspicious people, they never believed in coincidences, so they couldn't help thinking about it in secret. After hearing Wang Xi's statement, the emperor nodded and said, "Then according to what you said, let's thank Yushi to reiterate the case."
Now all the difficult and miscellaneous cases are left to Xie Zichen by the emperor. Naturally, Xie Zichen would not shirk, and responded with a low yes. Then the emperor asked Xiang Weilan: "Master Wei, what do you want to play? The murderer has been found?"
"Dodge it," Wei Lan lowered her eyes, ready to take on the anger, and said calmly, "I didn't do my job well, and I failed to catch the murderer. And Mr. Shen, the Minister of the Household Department, who Mr. Wang just participated in the performance, was killed yesterday. gone."
"waste!"
The emperor picked up the paperweight at hand and threw it at it. Wei Lanwei crawled down on the spot to avoid the paperweight hitting her face, but the paperweight still fell on her back, causing her to tremble slightly in pain.
Both Xie Zichen and Su Cheng subconsciously took a step forward, but before they could stop the paperweight, they saw the sharp corner of the paperweight hit Wei Lan, who prostrated herself on the ground, and said respectfully: "It's my negligence, I hope Your Majesty will punish you! "
Xie Zichen squeezed the wat board tightly, looking at the kneeling Wei Lan, his heart was turbulent for a moment, but he couldn't say anything.
She caught Yan Lan, and she sent Wang Xi out. She had already found out, so why did she say she didn't find out? Not only did she not plan to hand over Yan Lan, she even planned to reopen the case of Marquis Yongchang!
"Cheng of Dali Temple, Zheng of Dali Temple, Minister of the Household Department, good...very good," the emperor trembled with anger, stood up, pointed at Wei Lan and cursed: "I said you are a pillar of talent, and said you and Xie Yu Shi is a pair of imperial scholars, I think you are a deceitful person! How long has it been since you can't even find out a case? I ask you, don't you have even a trace of clues!"
Wei Lan remained silent, still saying nothing.
The emperor took the booklet at hand and threw it at her, venting his anger fiercely.
This anger has accumulated since she betrayed the imperial court and left the south. He used her as a sharp knife. What did she do? She ran to the north for the sake of being a kid from the Huan family, and when he came back, the boy from the Huan family threatened him and forced him to make her the servant of the Ministry of punishment!
Now that he has finally found an outlet, why doesn't he have to use it to the fullest
He threw everything he could at his hand, and Wei Lan endured it silently. Xie Zichen couldn't stand it any longer, and suddenly stood in front of Wei Lan, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the main hall, and Lord Wei is also a courtier. Your Majesty This move is too much!"
Hearing Xie Zichen's words, and seeing Xie Zichen standing in front of Wei Lan, the emperor paused for a moment, feeling that it was a bit too rude to do it himself.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his voice: "It's not that I'm going too far, Xie Yushi, look at what she did! The Minister of the Household Department can die under the assassin's sword, how can I not be angry? Wei Lan," The emperor said coldly: "You are not worthy of the position of Minister of the Household Department. According to your age, being a Shangshulang is not bad. Go and be a sixth-rank Shangshulang!"
"Your Majesty!" Xie Zichen knelt down and said in a cold voice: "Officials should be promoted according to standards. Wei Shizi was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments of the fourth rank, but he was directly demoted to the minister of the sixth rank because he made a mistake. Your Majesty's move is probably inappropriate. The failure to investigate the case is of course Lord Wei's fault, but the case is complicated and difficult to judge, and others may not be able to do better. I hope Your Majesty will see the merits of Lord Wei. Give her a chance to repent."
It is easy to be demoted and difficult to be promoted, and the gap between the two ranks is sometimes enough for a person to climb for a lifetime. Even though he was angry that Wei Lan was crazy to protect a word, Xie Zichen still couldn't just watch Wei Lan get demoted.
Xie Zichen took the lead, and other people who had good friends with Wei Lan spoke out one after another. They were all sons of aristocratic families, and it was not good to be a father. Just look at it like this, and most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down on the spot. The emperor's expression was not good. At this time, Su Cheng stepped forward and sighed: "Father, this case is indeed not easy. After all, Mr. Wei is young, and he is about the same age as his son. It is understandable that he did not handle it well. Father, forget it?"
When Su Cheng opened his mouth, he was reminding the emperor that Wei Lan was also his companion, so it was for his sake.
He is the emperor's most beloved son, and he has spoken up, and the emperor can't help but give this face, but he smothered his anger in his heart, and said angrily: "She is just used by you! I don't know what she is like, Wei Lan? She just doesn't like it." Take care! If you don't punish her today, she won't know what to do!"
After affirming her ability, Wei Lan knew that the emperor gave her a step up.
There were many twists and turns in this case. In fact, the courtiers probably figured it out now. She is an abandoned son of the third prince. He treated someone like her too harshly. Everyone couldn't help but feel chilled. The emperor didn't dare to go too far. But if she was not punished, the emperor felt angry again, so the emperor said angrily: "Go down by yourself and get twenty boards!"
"Your Majesty!" Xie Zichen raised his head abruptly, wanting to say something else, the emperor couldn't help being a little dissatisfied with Xie Zichen's defense of Wei Lan, and said angrily: "Why, Xie Yushi still thinks that I have punished you severely?! She has been a general in the border for so many years. , can’t survive twenty boards?!”
"The minister accepts the order."
Seeing that Xie Zichen wanted to speak, Wei Lan immediately kowtowed.
Then he stood up and walked out without looking back. Xie Zichen knelt on the ground and squeezed the wat board tightly. Wang Xi next to him couldn't help but worried, "Zichen?"
Xie Zichen regained his senses, narrowed his gaze, and stood up stiffly.
There was the sound of hitting a board outside, and the emperor said lazily, "Go ahead."
Xie Zichen couldn't hear anything anymore, he just listened to the sound outside, the board was hitting the flesh, but the man didn't say a word.
One click, two clicks, three clicks.
They all thought that Wei Lan was born as a general, so she must be strong, but in fact, he knew clearly that she was slender and thin, if you held her hand, you would feel like a woman. Without her combat achievements and her past, you would never think that this person could survive twenty boards. I'm afraid that a single slap can break this person into pieces.
Xie Zichen stood in the main hall, wishing he could rush out and beat him up for that person himself. After all, his foundation is much better than hers, twenty boards, it won't be a big deal. But Wei Lan...
Xie Zichen closed his eyes, unable to listen to anyone's words.
Outside the main hall, Wei Lan was lying on the chair, clenching her teeth, not saying a word.
Court rods are executed directly outside the main hall as a sign of punishment. It wasn't the first time that Wei Lan was beaten by the court staff, and she never cared about such things that didn't affect the overall situation. All she can think about now is that the emperor handed over the case to Xie Zichen, whether Xie Zichen will investigate carefully. If Xie Zichen was going to calm down and not investigate, she would have to find a way to fuel the fire.
The court stick was the most painful at the beginning. At that time, the contrast was the biggest and the most sensitive. Wei Lan felt the pain rushing into her brain. medicine, nothing is over.
So she reminded herself over and over again to stay awake and not to make any noise to save energy.
After finishing the twenty boards, she heard the sound of closing the boards, and at this time she finally turned down, Wei Lan's mind went blank, she just reminded herself repeatedly, not to faint, but to be awake.
Then she felt that the light in front of her was blocked, she looked up with difficulty, and saw Xie Zichen standing in front of her. He held the wat board in his hand, and his crimson official robe fluttered in the wind. He looked at Wei Lan whose official robe was darkened with blood behind him, and after a long time, he finally said hoarsely, "Why?"
Why Bao Yanlan
Why not tell him anything
It was as if he had returned to the village more than a year ago. He thought she was dead, so he tried his best to find her, only to find that she was alive and well.
He thought he was approaching her, but when she was lying in front of him covered in blood, he suddenly discovered that nothing had changed.
The closeness he thought, the liking he thought, the intimacy he thought were all just what he thought.
He didn't know why, but he had lived for forty years, but he suddenly felt that he was wronged like a young man.
But he was not a young man after all, he restrained his emotions and put the wat board into his sleeve.
Then he squatted down and carefully hugged her horizontally in his arms.
He came out running, and other courtiers also came out one after another. Seeing Wei Lan's appearance, Wang Xi said anxiously, "Can you help me, my son? Call the imperial doctor first..."
"I want Lin Xia." Wei Lan said decisively.
Her voice was very low, as if she was extremely weak. Xie Zichen felt pain in his heart, he shook his head towards Wang Xi and said, "I'll take her back to the Hou's Mansion."
After finishing speaking, he turned around holding her in his arms, and walked outside the palace gate.
Wei Lan leaned against Xie Zichen's arms, listening to his heartbeat, he was very warm, but she felt a little cold, leaning so quietly, she couldn't help but want to get closer to him.
His footsteps were steady and his arms were strong, Wei Lan couldn't help but look up at him, only then realized that this boy had already grown up.
When she first met him, he was still a slender boy, about the same height as hers, and he could still be pressed under the peach blossom tree by her to be frivolous. Unknowingly, that boy had grown so tall back then, he was able to hold her so firmly, and walk out of this man-eating palace steadily and quickly.
He already has the original appearance of a young man, and the marks left by the shaving can still be seen on his chin. She watched him so quietly, and couldn't help but smile.
"Zichen," she said hoarsely, "you have grown up."
Xie Zichen didn't return her, but lowered his head to meet her gaze.
With such a gentle and appreciative gaze, Xie Zichen felt a little sore in his heart, and forgot everything for a moment, subconsciously said: "Does it hurt?"
After asking, I felt that it was unnecessary. How could it not hurt if I hit twenty boards
However, the man smiled, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it doesn't hurt."
Hearing this, Xie Zichen felt even more pain in his heart. If this is not the pain in her life, then how much pain she has.
"Alan," he said in a hoarse voice, "I'm useless."
If he was still the regent, if he could be stronger, how could he allow others to touch her in front of him
Wei Lan rested her head on his chest. She felt a little tired, but she still held her spirits up: "The seventeen-year-old Yushi Zhongcheng is already very powerful."
When she was seventeen years old, she was still a gangster relying on her nepotism.
Xie Zichen didn't speak, he helped her into the carriage, and then said: "Let me help you with the medicine."
"No need!" Wei Lan pressed his hand.
Xie Zichen was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "At this moment, why are you so stubborn?"
"I have a special physique." Wei Lan pressed his hand, her eyes darkened: "Ordinary wound medicine may have side effects, we have to wait for Lin Xia to come."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Xie Zichen looked cold, his hands trembled slightly due to anger, but he restrained himself and waited quietly for Wei Lan's answer. However, Wei Lan didn't seem to understand his anger, and said calmly: "Didn't I tell you now?"
"Then your wound." Xie Zichen felt that it was extremely difficult for him to maintain some rationality, but he still told himself that Wei Lan was injured and he couldn't take it too far, so he suppressed his anger and said slowly: "It should be dealt with." one time."
"No need." Wei Lan resolutely refused: "There is no place to wash the wound here, and there is no place to change it. When I go back, I will take care of it with the medicine."
"Are you angry with me?"
"Why am I angry with you?" Wei Lan frowned, and looked up at Xie Zichen, as if she didn't know anything: "Zichen, you are the one who is weird."
But how could she not know what Xie Zichen was thinking
She planned all this without telling him, and his anger would not be less than when she knew that he was hiding it from her.
Even if she didn't know what exactly he was hiding. But she knew that this must be a very important thing that should be confessed.
Xie Zichen knew that he was emotionally unstable at the moment, and he didn't want to make Wei Lan's injury worse. He simply didn't care about Wei Lan's little, and let Wei Lan lie on the couch in the carriage, covered her with a blanket, and just glanced at her. Bufa sat aside.
The carriage creaked, and Wei Lan felt a little sleepy. She was afraid that she would fall asleep, so she wanted to chat with him and said, "Do you have anything to ask?"
"I asked, and you answered again?" Xie Zichen said coldly: "You are afraid that everything is planned now, so you don't know what kind of pawn Xie is in your Wei Shizi's layout?"
Wei Lan smiled, but said: "Guess?"
Xie Zichen didn't say a word. After a while, he slowly analyzed: "You want to save Yanlan and reverse the case for Marquis Yongchang?"
All this is already obvious, Wang Xi must have been ordered by Wei Lan, no one else could have guessed it, but Xie Zichen is too aware of the relationship between these people.
Wei Lan looked at Xie Zichen's appearance, her eyes were full of scrutiny and said: "Now that this case is in the hands of Xie Yushi, what is Xie Yushi going to do?"
"What should I do?" Xie Zichen sneered, "Don't you just want Marquis Yongchang to overturn the case? Let me tell you," Xie Zichen approached Wei Lan and said in a cold voice, "Think! Don't! think!"
Looking at Xie Zichen's face close at hand, Wei Lan was not surprised by this result.
However, hearing Xie Zichen tell her so directly, she couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart: "As the censor, Xie Yushi is not touched at all when faced with such a shocking case of injustice?"
"Wei Lan," Xie Zichen said coldly, "Are you the kind of person who comes to be an official with the intention of benefiting the common people? People can't ask for more than power. It's good that I don't harm others, but that doesn't mean I will Man sacrifices himself."
"Yan Lan is stupid, he wants to change it, that's his business. But I can't let myself do stupid things."
"So you watched him die."
For a moment, Wei Lan looked at the young man in front of her, as if she saw her twenty-year-old self.
She thought so too at that time, so she sentenced Yan's family to be executed. Yan's family couldn't make it to that point. Most of the evidence was collected by her.
Because she was afraid that the emperor would suspect her, because she was afraid of being contaminated by this matter.
She carefully changed Yan Lan out, she thought it was to help the other party. But after beheading the other party's family, besides exchanging his life for his life, what else can Yan Lan do
Not everyone is so bright and quick-witted, and not everyone has the opportunity to be scheming.
She felt that the indifferent person in front of her was not Xie Zichen.
It is the twenty-year-old minister of Dali Temple, Wei Lan.
Xie Zichen looked at her indifferently, and said lightly, "What relationship do I have with him? If he is dead, what relationship does he have with me?"
"Xie Zichen!" Wei Lan suddenly raised her voice: "Don't you have any conscience?"
"What do I need a conscience for?!"
Xie Zichen also raised his voice abruptly: "I just want you to be well, don't lie in front of me covered in blood so that you can rise to the top and be safe, am I wrong?!"
"I know you always want to be a famous official through the ages, and you have your gentleman's way in your heart," Xie Zichen said outright: "But I am not! I don't care what kind of loyal and famous minister he is. I, Xie Zichen, can climb to that position. Don’t say that I don’t want to reverse the case for Marquis Yongchang today, even if I single-handedly plan to destroy his three clans, so what?!”
"Xie Zichen..."
Wei Lan stared blankly at Xie Zichen.
She always thought that the two of them were always alike.
However, at this moment, she suddenly discovered so clearly that the difference between the two of them, from values to life aspirations, was so huge.
She doesn't mind court conspiracy, and she doesn't mind harming others, but she also has her own bottom line.
She, Wei Lan, has been an official for a lifetime, and she thinks she is worthy of the emperor above and the common people below. A case like that of Marquis Yongchang would never come into her hands. However, now Xie Zichen told her so clearly that even if he planned to do such a thing, he would not mind.
The two fell silent, and Xie Zichen knew that what he said was too impulsive.
He is not a person without a bottom line, but he has also thought that if he wants to hurt the important people around him...he can have no bottom line.
The two stopped talking, and after a long time, Wei Lan said, "Getting rid of Zhang Cheng and Chen Hesheng will also be good for the crown prince."
"Now is not the time." Xie Zichen closed his eyes: "If you encourage Wang Xi to investigate this case, Zhang Cheng will fight back tomorrow, just wait and see."
"Wei Lan," Xie Zichen sighed, "You are causing trouble for the crown prince. If you want to do something, you should keep the handle and do it later."
"What about Yan Lan?" Wei Lan sneered, "I haven't been able to find the murderer for a long time, so I replaced the person who found Yan Lan. If the case is not resolved, Yan Lan can only die."
"So in the final analysis," Xie Zichen said sarcastically: "You dragged a group of princelings into the water, and you almost lost your position as the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. But it’s just to keep things safe.”
As he said that, Xie Zichen applauded lightly, made a decision in his heart, and said without revealing half of his face: "Master Wei is really a lord of the war, and it is enough to make a smile for the beauties."
Wei Lan didn't speak, seeing her silent appearance, Xie Zichen couldn't help being stunned.
He just said it casually, but he didn't think that Wei Lan didn't refute him.
He couldn't help but feel a little flustered, when... did she think this way about Yan Lan
Obviously he was by her side, obviously Huan Heng also left, obviously...
His mind was in a mess, and he couldn't help but stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and said coldly, "You really fell in love with him?!"
Wei Lan felt a little hurt from being pinched by him, and frowned: "Let go!"
"Did you fall in love with Yan Lan?!"
Xie Zichen repeated it again, and Wei Lan turned cold: "Don't slander him like that."
She has never had such a relationship with him.
In his previous life, he was her elder brother, and that was the purest feeling. He grew up with her, and when he got married, she was the one who carried him on the sedan chair.
There has never been any other unnecessary feelings between them, and she cannot tolerate others insulting his reputation like this.
Xie Zichen smiled.
"I slander him? If you don't have these thoughts for him, why do you waste so much thought? Ah Lan, you are indeed a good official, but you are not stupid. If it is not for him, what are you doing for it?"
The carriage stopped, and Xie Zichen looked at Wei Lan with burning eyes: "Say it! What are you doing for?!"
"Half for him," Wei Lan finally said, "half for my own conscience. Not everything can be used, Zichen. If you have been on the battlefield, you know what these soldiers are going to do. Only by working hard can you keep the lives of nobles like you in Shengjing who are intriguing, and you will understand that even if it is not Yan Lan, I might help him."
"It's just Yanlan."
The anxious voices of the dyed ink came from outside: "Is the prince all right?"
Xie Zichen looked at Wei Lan quietly, clenched his fists, and heard her say, "So I must help him."
Xie Zichen didn't reply.
He was afraid that once he opened his mouth, he would lose control of himself.
He lowered his head and picked her up, and went directly into the Hou's mansion. Lin Xia had already heard about the affairs in the palace and rushed back. Xie Zichen put Wei Lan on the bed, and turned around and walked out without wanting to stay for a moment.
When Xie Zichen went out, everyone in the room couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Lin Xia used a knife to pick apart the clothes that were already standing with the flesh, and said in a low voice: "My lord, why are you so overwhelmed? It's not your style to be so enthusiastic about helping others."
"Lin Xia," Wei Lan closed her eyes facing the only person who could understand herself, "This is the person I owed in my previous life."
Lin Xia paused for a moment, then lowered her eyes: "Understood, you can do it yourself, son, and I will support you."
Wei Lan didn't say a word, it took energy to confront Xie Zichen for so long. However, after a while, Wei Lan suddenly remembered something, and said anxiously: "Ran Mo, bring Yan Lan to me, and all the hidden guards will be sent to protect him!"
Hearing Wei Lan's order, everyone present couldn't help being stunned.
"Why?" Ran Mo didn't quite understand, Lin Xia's medicine was poured on Wei Lan's buttocks, Wei Lan let out a "hiss" in pain, and then said: "Go quickly, Xie Zichen must be arresting someone!"
Although Ran Mo still didn't understand, she knew that Xie Zichen was definitely going to hurt Yan Lan, so she immediately took people to Yan Lan's residence. After a while, Wei Lan's wound was finally bandaged, and Ran Mo rushed back with her, and said anxiously: "My lord, Mr. Xie took him away earlier!"
Wei Lan lay on the bed and slowly closed her eyes.
She was slow to react.
As early as when Xie Zichen was still in the carriage, she should have thought of it. Since Xie Zichen is determined not to handle this case, wants to put this case in the coffin, and does not want to implicate her, then at this moment he must take Yan Lan Captured, then handed over to Dali Temple, and then explained that she had uncovered the case, and then directly killed Yan Lan.
Yan Lan died, and the only victim was gone. It doesn't make much sense to turn this case over again.
Wei Lan put her hands on her waist, took a breath, and after giving herself strength, she suddenly crawled to her feet.
Everyone was stunned by her action, Wei Lan resisted the pain in her buttocks, gritted her teeth and said, "Prepare your horse, catch up!"
"Shishishishi... son," Ran Mo was so frightened that he couldn't speak, followed behind Wei Lan, walked to the door, and worried: "Don't you hurt?!"
"It hurts." Wei Lan gritted her teeth.
Who doesn't feel pain if they are beaten with 20 boards? ! !
But what can she do? !
Let Yan Lan get killed by Xie Zichen? She is also very desperate!
Xie Zichen, Xie Zichen...
All the bad words she had learned in her life flashed in Wei Lan's mind, she got on the horse and tried to hang on the horse without touching her butt.
She was in so much pain that she kept breathing in, but she still wanted to hit the horse and move forward.
She felt that she must educate Xie Zichen when she brought Xie Zichen back this time.
She must teach him how to write three obediences and four virtues!
