Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 44

It was dark outside, Wei Yizhi invited her into the room, sat behind the table, lit the candles, and was quite surprised after reading it: "They are going to send people to Dajin, do they want to communicate with us?"

Xie Shu nodded: "I was also very surprised. Maybe they saw that Tuyuhun had offended Dajin this time, and wanted to take the opportunity to completely divide our two countries, so they took the initiative to make friends with Dajin."

Wei Yizhi thought for a while: "It doesn't sound like a bad thing."

"That's what I said, but I'm always worried about Qin, not to mention that this time it's their prime minister, An Heng, who personally sent a letter. It is said that Qin's current military strength is due to this person, and I don't know what his plan is this time. .”

Wei Yizhi put the notebook aside, and comforted her: "Don't worry, wait for them to come and see the situation and deal with it."

Xie Shu was originally prepared to accept their envoy, and after hearing what he said, he made up his mind.

"By the way, I'm planning to go back to the capital. When do you plan to leave?"

"So fast?" Wei Yizhi looked at her face, a little helpless: "It would be great if this idle time can be longer."

Xie Shu shook his head and smiled: "I have to go back."

Neither of them spoke any more.

The sound of the rain became louder, Xie Shu sat for a while, said goodbye and wanted to leave.Wei Yizhi got up to see her off, followed her and looked at her back, and remembered what happened in the pavilion during the day, seeing that she was about to reach out to pull the door, he suddenly held her hand.

Xie Shu turned his head to look, and said with a smile, "You don't want to let me go?"

"I don't want to." He took a step closer, took her waist into his arms, and the kiss fell.

Xie Shu was taken aback by his sudden action, and he was picked up and walked towards the bed.She naturally understood what was going to happen next, avoided his lips and said: "You are really in a hurry."

Wei Yizhi put her on the bed, touching the tip of her nose: "If you knew how long ago I fell in love with you, you wouldn't think I'm impatient."

Just as Xie Shu was about to speak, his lips were blocked by him again.

The candles have been extinguished, the rain outside the window has stopped, and the clouds and rain in the house have just stopped.

Xie Shu lay on the bedside and didn't want to move. Wei Yizhi hugged her from behind and said in a low voice: "I heard that there is a decoction that can prevent pregnancy. If you are worried, I will ask the doctor in Fuzhong to prepare a bowl for you tomorrow."

Xie Shu turned his head, his face could not be seen clearly in the dark, he could only feel his breath: "I will not be able to give you an heir after all, you will still get married sooner or later, if you really reach that point, I will not blame you .”

Wei Yizhi stroked her hair: "It won't get to that point."

Xie Shu turned his back to him again: "Anyway, I won't return the soldier talisman you gave me."

Wei Yizhi laughed out loud: "I originally gave it to you and I didn't intend to take it back."

"I haven't asked you yet, which army's soldier talisman is that?"

"In the Xuzhou military camp, 20 soldiers and horses are considered as a bride price."

Xie Shu snorted: "20 soldiers want to marry the truth, you are too stingy."

Wei Yizhi smirked, pulled her over and kissed her again.

Xie Shu pushed him: "What are you doing?"

"I still have a lot of debts to settle with you..."

When it was almost dawn, Xie Shu got up, wrapped the chest cloth layer by layer, and fastened the corset tightly.

Wei Yizhi quietly watched her work hard for a long time before getting it done, without saying a word.

She put on her clothes and sat in front of the bronze mirror to tie her hair. She did all of this by herself without any help from others.

Wei Yizhi sat up, put on his clothes and got out of bed, adjusted her hair and clothes, looked at her face in the bronze mirror and said, "Thank you, thank you, it's really hard work."

Xie Shu raised his hand to touch his cheek: "The King of Wuling really knows how to serve people. When he comes back to Jiankang, people will probably say that you have become the guest of honor."

Wei Yizhi leaned against her and said with a smile: "Then the king said that Xie Xiang saved the life of the king, and then used his power to coerce the king to submit. The king was forced to have no choice but to agree."

"Hey, let's put it this way, anyway, the reputation of the traitorous minister has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it's not bad." She stood up with a smile, opened the door and went out.

It was getting dark, and the palace was quiet, Xie Shu didn't have the nerve to show his discomfort until he returned to his room and was alone.

It's a sin to be a woman.

She fell asleep again, and was woken up by Mubai, because Wei Yizhi sent someone to bring the decoction.

Doctors from aristocratic families know this, and so do the doctors from the Prince's Mansion in Wuling County.It just so happened that Wei Yizhi ordered him not to say anything, and the doctor thought that the king of Wuling favored a maid and didn't want to have any children, so he didn't become suspicious, and quickly settled the matter.

Mubai watched Xie Shu drink it, and asked curiously, "My lord, what is this?"

"Hmm... supplements."

On the second day, I packed up my things and set off.

When Wei Yizhi climbed onto Xie Shu's car with his clothes on, she felt a little unnatural, coughed dryly and sat on the side.

"Miss Xie left something with me." He handed her the letter from the State of Qin.

"Well, thank you King Wuling." Xie Shu took it calmly and stuffed it into his sleeve, suddenly wanting to kick him out of the car.

In the golden autumn of October, Sima Qi was taken to Jiankang, the capital city.

The common people crowded beside the road and threw stones and leaves to express their disdain.But he stood proudly in the prison car, not avoiding at all, nor showing any shame, but looking at these common people with contempt.

Half a month later, King Wuling and Cheng returned to the capital by car.

This time, there were more people watching, and the things everyone threw became guagoropas to express their praise.

It was rumored that King Wuling was captured by the rebels, and it was the prime minister who went to the rescue at the risk of his own life regardless of the two's opposing positions. This was what the supporters of Prime Minister Xie said.

It was also rumored that the prime minister was almost killed by the rebels, and it was the Wuling King who was hiding in the dark who swung his sword in time to save his life-of course, it was spread by the fans of Wuling King.

But none of these rumors can compare to the shock of King Wuling being captured by Prime Minister Xie and becoming the guest of honor.

Seeing the two people crossing the street in the same car, without any shyness, the fans of both sides were dumbfounded. Could it be that the rumor is true?
"Oh, my poor Wuling King!" A woman ran away with her face covered in tears.

"This... Our family's thank you is so masculine! I, I have no hope..." Another one ran away in tears.

"Thank you for being shameless!"

"Bah! It's Wuling King who is incompetent!"

"It is obvious that the traitor is oppressing my family's virtuous king with power!"

"Tch, it's because your virtuous king is incompetent, otherwise he would have succumbed so easily."

The fans of King Wuling cried, they were so aggrieved!

Mrs. Xiang stood outside the gate of Da Sima's mansion early, and was tightly hugged by her personal maid: "Madam, calm down, it is definitely a rumor! It is absolutely impossible for the county king to submit to the prime minister!"

Mrs. Xiang's lower lip was about to bleed from biting her lower lip. What do you know, why didn't that brat follow?He might still be upside down!

Fortunately, Mu Miaorong appeared in time and comforted her with kind words. Mrs. Xiang still counted on her to be her daughter-in-law. She was too embarrassed to make matters worse, so she swallowed her breath and said, "Yes, yes. , I don’t believe that Yizhi is such a person, he never learns from those mediocre people who only want to be fresh, hehehe.”

Mu Miaorong nodded again and again: "Madam is absolutely right." In fact, she was thinking that she must not let her know that the Prime Minister had seduced King Wuling as early as when he was in Ningzhou, that would definitely be a blow.

After waiting for a while with each other's thoughts, Wei Yizhi finally came with Fu Xuan.The two of them changed horses, and the luggage and entourage were not much, and the speed was fast.

When he saw Da Sima's mansion, Wei Yizhi twitched his horse's buttocks, galloped up to him, and as soon as he got off his horse, he bowed down to Mrs. Xiang.

Mrs. Xiang's heart softened immediately, thinking of his near death, she didn't care about those rumors for the time being, she helped him up and said, "It's good to come back, we must not take any more risks in the future, the Wei family is just you and me, orphans and widows, if something happens to you, I don't want to live anymore for my mother." She was about to cry.

Wei Yizhi quickly comforted her: "Tired mother was frightened, and she will never do it again."

The mother and son walked towards the mansion while talking, and for a moment they forgot that there was Mu Miaorong standing beside them.But she didn't care about it. At this time, the family naturally has a lot to say, but seeing other people's mother and child reunited, and thinking about the father who will never see again, she felt a little sad.

Just as she was about to go in, the little maid next to her quietly tugged on her sleeve, and pouted towards the opposite side.Mu Miaorong followed her instructions and looked over, her expression turned pale: "Why is this apprentice coming again!"

Huan Ting stood opposite and waved at her without stepping forward, smiling.

Mu Miaorong stomped her feet angrily, turned her head and entered the gate.

It's not easy for Huan Ting to disturb the reunion of Wei Yizhi's mother and son, so he can only watch her go away pitifully.

The young servants around him know his son's nature too well, and they like to say about him like Yang Saw and Yuan Peiling: "Young master, you can't learn from the prime minister. The prime minister can even win the King of Wuling, but you still can't win this one." girl."

Huan Ting has a good temper, and he is not angry when his subordinates say it. When he heard that it made sense, he immediately decided to learn from Xie Shu and visit her by the way.

Xie Shu had just returned to the mansion, changed his clothes, felt tired, and was lying on the couch to rest.Huan Ting rushed in directly, not even giving Mu Bai the time to report.

"Cousin, teach me what to do."

Xie Shu sat up in surprise: "What shall I teach you?"

Huan Ting told Mubai to go out first, squatted down in front of her and said, "How did you get Zhongqing? Quickly teach me."

"what?"

"Oh, cousin, don't be embarrassed. It's spread all over the city. Anyway, I already know about the two of you. You don't need to hide it from me. Zhongqing's temper is like a bottomless pit. You can't figure it out at all. , tell me, how did you get him?"

"...Why are you asking this?"

Huan Ting was embarrassed, and leaned into her ear to whisper a few words.

Xie Shu twitched the corner of his mouth: "I think it's better for you to ask Zhongqing about this matter, he must have a solution."

Huan Ting looked at her uncertainly: "Really?"

"real."

After finally coaxing Huan Ting away, Xie Ran came again.He sat in front of Xie Shu, with a smile that was not a smile: "Prime Minister, how is the scenery of Wuling County?"

"nice."

"Do you want to go again?"

Xie Shu looked at his face: "Well, let's talk when we have a chance."

Xie Ran got up with a cold face: "Prime Minister is returning home today, I have a big gift for you." He clapped his hands, and immediately several men came in, a row of thin, tall and handsome men of different ages, up to Middle-aged and under at least young.

"This is..." Xie Shu looked puzzled.

"This is the staff I arranged for the prime minister."

In the end, Xie Ran's tone of the word "staff" was particularly weird. Xie Shu understood it instantly and almost fell to the ground.

What kind of staff is this, this is the guest of honor!
Xie Ran waved his hand and told the others to back down first, and changed his tone of earnestness: "Since the prime minister likes men, so what if I search for handsome men for the prime minister? But you really can't be sincere to the King of Wuling. He has deep thoughts. If you don't What if I come here and use my emotions to manipulate you?"

Xie Shu held his aching stomach and said, "Don't worry, let me take it easy."

"..." Seeing her like this, Xie Ran frowned and made up his mind that he must break her muddled thoughts back.

After hearing Xie Shu's words, Huan Ting really wanted to go to Wei Yizhi to learn from him.

He originally wanted to call Yang Saw and Yuan Peiling together, and in the name of celebrating the victory and returning to court, he invited Wei Yizhi to enjoy the scenery and drink on Fuzhou Mountain, but Yuan Peiling and Yang Saw refused.The rumors between King Wuling and the prime minister are on fire, it always feels weird to go to see him right now.Especially Yuan Peiling, he was one of the first people who participated in the spread, Wei Yizhi thought highly of himself, if he was beaten because of this, his copper skin and iron bones would be crippled.

Huan Ting had no choice, he was afraid of offending Mu Meiren, and he didn't dare to go to Da Sima's mansion, so he got up early in the morning and waited to meet him on the road above Wei Yi.

Wei Yizhi got up early, and it was Mu Miaorong who came in to wait on her instead of a maid.Although the filial piety period has passed, she is still wearing a plain white skirt, and she hasn't modified her makeup much, which slightly conceals her coquettishness.

Wei Yizhi frowned and pretended to be displeased: "You are the daughter of the governor, how can you act like a servant, if word spreads, this king will be cast aside by others."

Obviously, Mu Miaorong had already figured out how to deal with it, and said calmly: "The King of Wuling retreated the enemy army, suppressed the rebels, and killed Murong Chao, so he avenged my father. I have nothing to do, just Now I can serve the King of Wuling in return for my kindness."

She came over to tie Wei Yizhi's hair, intentionally or unintentionally sticking to his body.

Wei Yizhi didn't feel the warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms, but instead thought of Xie Shu, who was lying in his arms with beautiful blue hair, got up and avoided: "No need, go out."

After all, Mu Miaorong was a young girl, she couldn't bear face after being rejected repeatedly, and went out unhappy.

Even though they have put up all their face to do this step, the King of Wuling still doesn't care about her. It seems that there is no need to count on the Queen Mother's ambiguous reply.After thinking about it, she felt sad again, and she cried for a long time facing the rockery in the garden.

Wei Yizhi went to the court in a carriage, propped his forehead and was thinking about how to deal with Mu Miaorong's matter, when Fu Xuan said outside: "Your Majesty, Mr. Huan is here."

The carriage stopped, and Huan Ting hurriedly climbed into the carriage.He was also wearing court clothes, and his childish demeanor had suddenly become more mature and steady.

"Why is Enping here? Want to borrow my carriage to go to court together?" Wei Yizhi actually wanted to meet Xie Shu by chance, and wanted to get him out of the carriage.

Huan Ting came over and said, "It's not just for this, I also want to ask you a question." He whispered in his ear for a while.

Wei Yizhi didn't want to kick him out of the car now, and said with a smile on his face: "So that's it, you and my friend, I will definitely help you."

He beckoned Huan Ting to come closer, and whispered a few words in his ear, Huan Ting sometimes frowned, sometimes nodded, with a serious face.

Being disturbed by Huan Ting, naturally he didn't see Xie Shu on the road.In the early court, all the officials were watching the two closely because of the rumors, and Wei Yizhi had to put on a serious face and focus on state affairs.

The emperor had just recovered from a serious illness, and his complexion was still not very good. His cheeks were slightly sunken, and he looked a bit slumped.Naturally, he was heartbroken when his younger brother rebelled, but no matter how heartbroken he was, he still wanted to send him to the beheading platform, and he couldn't even keep his family members. This has always been the rule.

To be honest, the emperor himself was able to do it. If he didn't have such a heart, he wouldn't look down on the prince's kind and weak appearance.It's just that the Queen Mother's level is more difficult.Although her old man understands the truth, but in the end she is her own son, and Sima Qi is a talent, and she just went on the wrong path. As a mother, she will not be willing to be normal.

The emperor is a filial son, and he has to explain to the queen mother, so he can't do the murder by himself.He glanced at Xie Shu.

"Mr. Xie has done a lot of hard work this time. I rely more and more on Mr. Xie's ability to handle affairs. I will leave it to you to handle the matter of dealing with the King of Changsha this time. It is a big matter. Mr. Xie must do the whole process by himself."

Killing someone with her hands is not a harsh request, Xie Shu didn't hesitate, and immediately said yes.

When he was going to court, Wei Yizhi would wink at her from afar, Xie Shu remembered what happened that night at the Prince's Mansion in Wuling County as soon as Xie Shu saw him, pity her body, which had been suffering for a long time, only recovered on the road, and she didn't want to see this one at all The wolf in human skin left the palace gate without looking back.

Seeing the opportunity, Xie Ran followed her all the way into the car, sat down and said: "I don't have to be on duty in the East Palace for a few days, and I want to go up and down in the same car as the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister doesn't mind?"

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind." Xie Shu looked at him and said hesitantly, "Um... have all the 'staff' you brought back to the manor been sent away?"

"Why send it away?" Xie Ran stretched out his fingers to lift the curtain and looked at Wei Yizhi who was walking out of the palace gate, and said with a faint smile: "The prime minister's taste is too tricky."

Xie Shu sighed helplessly.

When Xie Ran heard it, he thought she was reluctant to part with Wei Yizhi, and patiently persuaded him earnestly: "I am doing this for the benefit of the prime minister. If you are too close to the king of Wuling, he will not think about you. You should stay away. He can't extricate himself from your love, but you know it clearly in your heart, so you can take the lead."

Xie Shu looked him up and down, a little shocked.

It's hidden, Uncle Tang, if I knew it earlier, I would have sent Huan Ting to ask you for advice!
Wei Yizhi didn't see Xie Shu for several days, and he missed the days in Wuling County more and more, and the more he missed her, the more he wanted to see her, but Xie Shu seemed to be avoiding him on purpose recently, and he didn't even have a chance to be alone.

Within a few days, Xie Shu convicted Sima Qi, escorted him to the guillotine, and followed the emperor's order to personally go to supervise and execute him.Wei Yizhi finally seized the opportunity and went to the scene to supervise the execution.
