Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 22

Xie Shu had already been waiting on the lake, and Qi Zheng followed beside him.This man was over thirty years old, with a handsome appearance and a burly figure. He was obviously a literati, but he looked like a warrior.

Mubai lifted the curtain on the cabin and reported that Huan Ting had arrived, Xie Shu immediately pulled Qi Zheng to sit down, and lay down on his lap.

Qi Zheng turned pale with shock: "Prime Minister, this is..."

"Don't talk nonsense, do what the truth tells you to do." Xie Shu pointed to the pastry next to him: "Feed me a piece, make sure Mr. Huan sees it, otherwise you will be expelled from Xie's house."

Qi Zheng wanted to cry but had no tears. He had heard about the prime minister's good manners for a long time, but he really didn't expect that he would be involved in her right and wrong.

He is not stupid, he can see that the prime minister is acting, but don't look at him as a tall man, in fact he is extremely fearful of guilt.If today's incident got to his wife's ears, she would definitely be beaten to the ground when she returned home.

Huan Ting was already stomping on the deck of the ship, and Xie Shu urged: "If you don't move, I will kill your whole family!"

Qi Zheng was helpless, and finally resigned to his fate, he took a piece of bean cake and stuffed it into her mouth: "Prime Minister, take it slowly."

"Hmm..." Xie Shu chewed intoxicatedly, and deliberately stretched out his hand to pull his beard: "You still know how to love others."

Looking at her touching face, Qi Zheng just wanted to cry.

Mubai wanted to cry more than him, son, you didn't say it was for this when you asked me to find someone!

With a trembling voice, he reported: "Young Master, Young Master, King Wuling and Young Master Huan have arrived."

Xie Shu turned his head and saw Huan Ting, who was frozen at the door, and Wei Yizhi behind him, with a surprised expression on his face.

Xie Shu sat down now, and invited the two of them to take their seats: "The others haven't arrived yet, why don't we have a few drinks first." After speaking, he tugged at Qi Zheng's sleeves, "Why don't you pour wine for Truth?"

This gesture is very intimate but not as coquettish as a daughter's, Qi Zheng's hand holding the jug is already shaking like a cramp.

After experiencing several huge shocks, Huan Ting calmed down, but he still couldn't control his mouth, and asked Xie Shu, "This is the one in the rumor...huh?"

Xie Shu naturally understood what he was going to say, and smiled a little shyly: "I'm not afraid of my cousin's jokes, I'm afraid my cousin can't change my preference."

Huan Ting paralyzed, and stole a glance at Wei Yizhi beside him, but he couldn't see any reaction from him.

Wei Yizhi took a sip of wine, looked up at Xie Shu, and saw that she was intimate with the man, but he couldn't tell what it was like.

He wasn't sure about the source of the blood stains that day, but if it was really because of something he was ashamed to say...

He gripped the glass tightly.

However, I have never heard of this character before, and it is doubtful after all that it suddenly appeared.

It was windy outside the cabin, and it was still slightly chilly in early spring and February.

Wei Yizhi glanced out of the window, then turned to Xie Shu and said, "I heard from Tai Shiling a few days ago that there may be a rare Tiangou eating the moon tonight, why don't you all stay in the boat today and watch the wonderful scenery how?"

It just so happened that Yuan Peiling and Yang Saw arrived with a large group of princes from aristocratic families, and immediately applauded when they heard this.

"Chun Ri stays on the wave, and the King of Wuling is still interested."

Huan Ting asked Xie Shu, "What do you think, Prime Minister?"

Xie Shu twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment: "Alright."

Wei Yizhi glanced at Qi Zheng: "They are all descendants of aristocratic families, outsiders should step back, and it will be easier to talk."

As if Qi Zheng had been pardoned, he wanted to kowtow to him and bid farewell to Xie Shu.

Xie Shu glanced at Wei Yizhi, showing displeasure on purpose, and reluctantly tugged Qi Zheng's sleeve before letting him go.

Although the Xie family's boat is big, the cabin is used for banquets and not for sleeping, so there is such an open space without even a partition.

For others, sleeping in one place at night is romantic, but for Xie Shu... I really want to die for them to see!

Everyone feasted and had fun, talking and laughing constantly, which was also very interesting.

After Qi Zheng left, Wei Yizhi seemed to be a little interested, and actually listened to Huan Ting's urging and began to talk about his experience in the army, which aroused everyone's fascination.

Later, when someone asked about the former ruler of Tuyuhun, Wei Yizhi frowned at first and refused to go into details, and was urged repeatedly before opening his mouth.

"Murong Duxi, the former ruler of the Tuyuhun Kingdom, is nine feet tall, and he is described as majestic. When I first saw him, I thought he was a general, but I didn't think he was a king. He fought bravely and took the lead, but he was criticized for his lust. It is rumored that he is not jealous of men and women. , and once forcibly occupied the minister's wife and children. The middle school complained about him, and the current ruler is his youngest brother, who took the opportunity to rebel and succeeded in ascending the throne smoothly."

Everyone sighed when they heard it, only some smart ones were wiping away their sweat.

Don't be so arrogant, the masculine prime minister is still here, what do you want to do with such insinuations!

After drinking, the full moon was already in the sky, everyone lay down at the window and waited earnestly, but they never waited, and gradually became bored.

Xie Shu ordered Mubai to spread mats and cushions in the cabin, and most of the people either lay down or sat and chatted.Some drank too much and fell asleep after a while, snoring everywhere.

Wei Yizhi took the opportunity to get up and sit beside Xie Shu.

Xie Shu glanced at him and said nothing.

"Xie Xiang is angry that I drove that person away?"

"How could it be? King Wuling has his own reasons for what he does."

Wei Yizhi smiled and lay down beside her.

Xie Shu was shocked: "You want to sleep here?"

"Yes, everyone here is afraid to approach Xie Xiang because of his masculinity, but you and my brother, how can I despise Xie Xiang?"

Xie Shu changed his mind and lay down simply, lying side by side with him, just in time to see the moon through the window.

Not long after, Huan Ting exclaimed, it turns out that the moon has been blocked a little, and indeed there is a dog eclipsing the moon.

Most of the brothers who were about to fall asleep were awakened by the sound, and rushed to the window to watch.

Wei Yizhi withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Xie Shu's side face, until the moonlight was finally completely covered, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness.

Xie Shu closed his eyes to rest in the darkness, and suddenly felt his body tighten. Someone surrounded her from the side, and whispered to her ear with his lips: "Ruyi..."

She was shocked suddenly, but Wei Yizhi didn't let her go, rubbed her chin with one hand, and sighed softly: "If you really have broken sleeves, I'm afraid I will become Murong Duxi too."

"!!!" Xie Shu felt like a thunderbolt.

Wei Yizhi's lips brushed against her earlobe, and his voice became deeper and deeper: "What are you doing so nervous, don't be discovered by others. Anyway, I am much better than the person you brought, right? Think about it, brother It's clear, as long as Ruyi doesn't dislike it, why should we be surprised by people's eyes?"

Xie Shu was heartbroken, it was over, it seemed that he would not let it go this time.

The others were very excited, chatting in the dark, and some harassed each other in the dark, one screamed and the other laughed, and the hilarity continued.

Anyway, no one noticed Xie Shu and Wei Yizhi.

Xie Shu quickly calmed down, Wei Yi is not the only one who can be flexible.

She turned sideways to face him, and sighed softly: "It seems that I can't keep this secret anymore."

Wei Yizhi's tone changed a bit: "Huh?"

"Actually, I'm not very masculine. I used to be acting. The reason why I pretended to be like this is just to deceive people."

"Then what is Ruyi trying to cover up?"

"Oh, it's really hard to say, I can only say that Zhongqing has deep affection and friendship, and I have no luck to bear it."

The cloth rustled softly in the darkness, and she seemed to get up to leave, but Wei Yizhi still held her tightly.He deliberately moved his palm to her chest, feeling the firmness and flatness under his hand, and couldn't help frowning.

How could this be?
It took only two cups of tea for the Tengu to eat the moon, and the eyes gradually became brighter.Wei Yizhi let go of Xie Shu and sat up, seeing her face clear up little by little, with mixed emotions in his heart.

Xie Shu gave him a sad look, seemingly helpless or regretful, then turned his back to him and said nothing again.

The excitement of the others has not yet passed, and they are discussing enthusiastically together.Huan Ting wanted to ask Xie Shu how he felt about Guanyue, but when he turned around, he saw her lying on her side as if she had fallen asleep, so he called Wei Yizhi over.

Wei Yizhi got up and walked towards him, not thinking about the moon at all.

Xie Shu deliberately stomped on the censer at his feet, making a loud bang.Mu Bai outside the cabin came to tidy up with a lantern, but when she received a signal from her eyes, he nodded and retreated.

After a while, he returned in a hurry and called eagerly: "Master Ran, Mr. Ran has brought people here, saying that something happened in the mansion."

Xie Shu immediately got up and went out. The others were very curious when they saw this, and followed them out to watch the excitement.

The big boat approached the shore, Xie Ran boarded the boat, and saluted Xie Shu: "Prime Minister, something is wrong, the doctors who were invited earlier have all escaped..." It was as if he suddenly found so many children from aristocratic families standing behind him. Startled, he quickly shut his mouth.

Xie Shu scolded in a low voice: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase! What if they ruin your reputation?"

Xie Ran responded and quickly led the people away.

Wei Yizhi winked at Fu Xuan who was standing at the bow, and the latter understood and followed.

Xie Shu turned around to apologize to everyone, with a forced smile: "Something happened in the prime minister's mansion, I have to go back to deal with it, please stay with me, please continue to have fun, don't be restrained." After saying that, he ordered Mubai to take care of him, and went ashore to board the car I'm back home.

Huan Ting couldn't see clearly this scene, he wondered: "Did I hear wrong? Could it be that the prime minister is sick?"

A son of a noble family answered, "That's what it means. There are good doctors in the prime minister's mansion, and the prime minister wants to hire another doctor. He won't be seriously ill, right?"

The other person laughed and said, "I guess it's the one who healed the wound, poof!"

Yang Zao looked at Mubai's distorted face under the light, and reminded: "Everyone should go back to the cabin."

Wei Yizhi didn't move, he looked at the water and held onto the railing tightly.

Xie Shu had already been sitting in the study for quite a while when Xie Ran brought people back to the prime minister's mansion.

"The matter has been settled, the prime minister can rest assured."

"Ah."

Xie Ran never asked her about her personal affairs, but now he couldn't help it: "The prime minister ordered me to wait nearby, but he just wanted to draw out the doctor's affairs. I don't know who he wants to show it to?"

"Who else? Naturally, it's King Wuling."

"I don't understand the illness, please let the prime minister express it."

Xie Shu smiled and said, "You don't need to ask the reason carefully, you just need to remember that you have to get used to accepting any rumors about me in the future."

Seeing her relaxed expression, Xie Ran guessed it wasn't a big deal, so he was relieved, and it didn't matter whether he explored the reason or not.

When it was almost dawn, Wei Yizhi returned to Da Sima's mansion, and Fu Xuan was already waiting at the door.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates followed Xie's family all the way. They were indeed chasing the doctor. Several of them were captured. Only one escaped successfully and ran all the way to Qingxi. The subordinates took the opportunity to arrest him."

Wei Yizhi nodded: "This king is going to meet him."

The doctor is a short, fat middle-aged man who was locked in the yard where Wei Yizhi usually practiced martial arts. He was surrounded by swords, guns, swords and halberds. He looked quite timid, but he could still lean against the tree and look around calmly. .

Wei Yizhi asked Fu Xuan to guard the door, and walked in by himself. The doctor knew that this was the master of the Da Sima Mansion when he saw his appearance, and immediately knelt down to salute.

"You don't have to be afraid, you can leave after answering a few questions honestly."

"Yes, yes, please ask, Da Sima."

"This king asks you, why did you appear in the prime minister's residence?"

"If you go back to Da Sima, the villain was invited by Xie's family to treat the prime minister's wounds."

"Oh? What kind of injury?"

"Uh, to put it bluntly, the Prime Minister has a sore on his buttocks, which has not healed after a long period of treatment, and the wound keeps opening, which is quite serious."

Wei Yizhi thought to himself: Could it be that the blood stain is because of this sore?

"How could the prime minister have sores when he is fine?"

"Da Sima doesn't know that the prime minister has a chronic illness and has been using medicines, all of which are strong medicinal materials. His body was not well developed in his early years, and he was very sensitive, so he always got sores on his body."

Wei Yizhi sneered, obviously not believing it: "Prime Minister has a stubborn illness? Tell me what the stubborn illness is."

The doctor nodded with his head: "The prime minister is indeed suffering from a stubborn illness, but it is really hard to tell. If the villain says it, his life will be in danger. I dare not lie to Da Sima because none of the doctors in the mansion can cure this disease and I am afraid of being silenced." , that’s why we made an appointment to risk our lives.”

Wei Yizhi untied the long whip and threw it out suddenly, hitting the tree trunk beside him.

The doctor trembled in fright, and turned his head quietly to take a look. There was a deep cut on the tree trunk.Thinking that the whip was just about to hit him, he trembled and broke out in a cold sweat.Only then did he remember that the man in front of him looked gentle but was a warrior who killed countless people.

"Elder, great Sima, please forgive me. Although the villain can't say it, he has prescriptions on his body, and the eldest Sima can use them to check!" After he finished speaking, he quickly took out a few prescriptions from his lapel.

Wei Yizhi called Fu Xuan in: "Go and invite the doctor from the mansion to see if this prescription is a doctor or something."

The doctor of the Wei family soon came to the front, and after careful inspection, he reported: "Two are for trauma, mainly treating sores to stop bleeding. The other one is for a man with insufficient kidney yang. Judging from the medication, I am afraid that the patient has reached the point where it is inhumane." to the extent."

Wei Yi was startled: "What?"

It was almost morning time, Xie Shu had caught up on his sleep for a while before, and now he just got up, after tying up his chest, he fastened a layer of armor-like chest protector tightly against the bronze mirror.

This thing was also made by Xie Mingguang before, because it is well protected and soft and hard, which is moderately close to the skin, so she wears it tirelessly. After she was almost injured by Lu Cheng's dark arrow last time, she didn't dare to take it off.

After tying it up, she couldn't even breathe well. She gritted her teeth in the mirror: "If you find out so easily, wouldn't my suffering all day long be in vain?"

There is nothing to do in the morning today, the biggest thing is that the prime minister who has been on leave has come back.However, the emperor was in a good mood because the queen mother's condition had improved, so he rarely showed her face, and he didn't even mention the stupid things Xie Ling did before.

When he retired from the court, several officials came to greet Xie Shu, pretending to be quite innocent, ignorant of the indecent rumors.

In order to stagger with her, Wei Yizhi deliberately took a step behind, and went to visit the queen mother before leaving the palace.

Walking halfway, he suddenly remembered the scene where he doubted Xie Shu last time, and said to Fu Xuan, "Let's go to Changganli."

The spring is slightly warm, and the light yellow winter jasmine is blooming in the corner, and the new branches protrude out of the courtyard wall. The alleys are deep, and the fragrance of wine does not fade.

Wei Yizhi had already changed into the court clothes in the car, got out of the car and entered the shop, but there was no one in the hall.

The shopkeeper came up to greet him and said, "Young master is here again, the one who came with you last time is also there, still at the one in the backyard."

Wei Yizhi walked to the backyard and saw Xie Shu sitting there in casual clothes.

"I knew Zhongqing would come."

Wei Yizhi walked over and sat down: "Are you waiting for me?"

"Yeah." Xie Shu was playing with the teacup, lowering his eyes and not looking at him, "After listening to what you said to me last night, I thought a lot, and finally decided to tell you the truth." Sorrow when looking at him: "I have a flaw in my body, I'm afraid I won't be able to have a future in this life."

Wei Yizhi pretended to be shocked: "How could this happen?"

Xie Shu smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. My body can be said to be neither male nor female. When my grandfather was alive, he had been seeking medical treatment for me, but unfortunately it didn't work. For the sake of face, I can only pretend to be masculine on purpose." Come here to confuse your sight, but you misunderstood me if you didn’t want to, this is my sin.”

Wei Yizhi frowned and remained silent.

Xie Shu quietly observed his expression, trying to figure out his thoughts, but he still couldn't see any clues, and felt a little depressed.

Xie Mingguang once said to her that disguising is too risky, no matter how well-prepared and how prudent he is, the fact of being a woman cannot be changed, and it is inevitable that flaws will show up sometimes.

He hid Xie Shu for eight years, and only pushed her to the front of the stage until his death, just to deliberately make this period of time blank, so that if there is a crisis in the future, Xie Shu can adapt to the situation and smear it at will.

However, Wei Yizhi wants to take the road of confronting each other on the surface and making friends in private. The deeper the relationship, the more flaws will become.

Wei Yizhi took the tea and leaned it against his lips, without any expression, in fact, he was even more depressed than her.

Everything is too precise, if he suspects anything, there will be a corresponding answer immediately to dispel his doubts, but there is no evidence to refute it.What's more, the words of last night have already been spoken, and there is no reason to take them back. He can't admit that he was testing her, and he was really defeated.

Maybe he pushed Xie Shu too fast.

He changed his mind, put down the teacup and walked up to Xie Shu, and took her both hands: "Ruyi is too worried, in fact, I'm not very masculine, I just like you."
