Chapter 190 Wei Zhihuai

Wei Tingzhou gasped violently and hooked his hand towards Eunuch Zhou.

　　Eunuch Zhou quickly stepped forward and handed him warm water and a handkerchief.

　　Wei Tingzhou rinsed his mouth and wiped it with a handkerchief before leaning weakly on the soft pillow behind him.

　　"Is he gone?"

　　Eunuch Zhou was stunned for a moment and then said: "Go back to the emperor, Doctor Xie has left."

　　"call..."

　　Governor Wei Ting sighed: "It's good to go, it's good to go..."

　　Eunuch Zhou did not dare to disturb him. He stood silently for a moment and then said softly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is still waiting outside the palace."

　　"Just say that I have gone to bed and ask him to go back."

　　"yes."

　　Eunuch Zhou turned around to retreat, but Wei Tingzhou stopped him again.

　　"Zhou Ninghe, look what's on the table?"

　　Eunuch Zhou paused for a moment, turned around and saw a small white porcelain bottle on the table. He picked it up, opened the lid and smelled it. The smell was familiar.

　　"Back to the emperor, this seems to be your longevity pill."

　　Wei Tingzhou stretched out his hand, and Eunuch Zhou handed over the small bottle.

　　He took it and opened the lid to look at it, and his hands suddenly started shaking violently.

　　"He will never come again. Zhou Ninghe, my junior brother, will never come to see me again."

　　Eunuch Zhou stood with his head bowed. After waiting for a long time, he finally received the order from Wei Tingzhou telling him to retreat.

　　He left Qingxin Hall, and Wei Zhihuai was still standing at the door.

　　Seeing him, he stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Zhou, father, are you willing to see me?"

　　Eunuch Zhou forced a smile: "Back to Your Highness, unfortunately, the Emperor has just taken a rest, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see you."

　　"Ha," Wei Zhihuai sneered, "I just finished seeing that bad old man, and I stopped so soon."

　　Eunuch Zhou looked embarrassed and laughed along with him.

　　"That's all," Wei Zhihuai waved his hand, "Next month is the Midsummer Sacrifice. I wanted to discuss it with my father. Since my father's illness has not improved, I won't bother you."

　　After saying that, he turned around and left, without stopping for a moment, and went straight out of the palace.

　　As soon as he left the palace gate, Wei Zhihuai found a hidden corner and called out the shadow guard who was following him in the dark.

　　"Where are the people?"

　　The shadow guard saluted him and said hesitantly: "Back to my lord, my subordinates are not doing well. I have lost track of..."

　　"Trash." Wei Zhihuai scolded, "You can't stand an old man? His food has gone into the dog's belly!"

　　The shadow guard did not dare to say a word, and was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop: "Please punish me, Lord."

　　Wei Zhihuai frowned and asked, "Then did you see where he went?"

　　"After leaving the city, we went south." The shadow guard replied.

　　"He didn't go back to Baiyun Mountain?"

Wei Zhihuai's brows furrowed even more. When he came back to his senses and saw the shadow guard still kneeling there, he raised his foot and kicked him over: "Get out of here, I'm an eyesore!"

　　…

　　After breakfast, Ye Anyian left Baihezhai on the pretext of taking Ah Li out for fun. Zimo, as a personal guard of Jiangzhu Fa sect, naturally followed.

　　The three of them walked lightly and leisurely down the mountain.

　　In May, the willow branches are new and the mountain flowers are blooming. Many pilgrims are walking together on the mountain road. There are also small vendors selling tea and braided rope pendants on the roadside, which is really lively.

　　Ah Li had not seen such a scene for many years. She was so happy that she was pulled by Ye Annian and stretched her neck to look here and there.

　　Seeing that she was really interested in a bracelet seller on the roadside, she stopped and picked up a red beaded bracelet that Ah Li was staring at.

　　"Grandma, how much does this cost?"

　　"It's the safety bracelet from Fayuan Temple. It costs 999 coins. Look at how beautiful your young master is, and how beautiful this little girl is. I'll sell it to you cheaply, only 666 coins!"

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　He quickly put the rope back, pulled Ah Li away.

　　The little girl was very sensible and left as she was told, but she couldn't help it and kept looking back.

　　Zi Mo, who was following him, saw him and said to Ye Anyian: "Young Master, please wait for me."

　　"Huh?" Ye Anyian didn't know what he was going to do.

　　I saw that the child had turned back and squatted in front of the grandma's stall.

　　Ye Anyian's eyelids twitched and he quickly turned back.

This bracelet is really not worth the price. If Ah Li really likes it, he can make it for her when he goes back, so there is no need to buy it.

　　Zimo is a simple kid, don't be fooled.

　　Unexpectedly, when he pulled Ah Li back, Zi Mo had already walked over with hand ropes and took three of them at once.

　　Ye Annian's mouth twitched when he saw it: "You... bought it?"

　　"Yeah." The young man smiled with crooked eyebrows, "One for you, one for Ah Li, and one for the owner of the restaurant."

　　"How much?"

　　"Nine coins." Zimo blinked.

　　"But..." Ye Anian was stunned for a moment, "Didn't she just say six hundred and sixty-six pieces of paper?"

　　"Hi, that grandma is an old acquaintance. She cooks in the Fayuan Temple restaurant. She usually comes out to set up a stall and sell some small things when she has nothing to do."

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　Ah Li was very happy to take the bracelet and put it on immediately.

　　Ye Anian wore it on her hand because of her trouble, while Jiang Zhu's one was put away by him.

　　The three of them continued walking down, and soon they arrived at Fayuan Temple.

　　Zimo didn't know the purpose of his trip and wanted to take the two of them to Baiyun Town. Ye Anyian excused himself as tired and found a shady place with few people to rest outside Fayuan Temple. Ah Li sat next to him. , playing with the leaves of grass.

　　Not long after, he saw a light green figure mixed in the crowd.

　　He stood up and headed there, but Liu Zhuo shook his head at him from a distance, meaning that he wanted him to go there alone.

　　Ye Annian frowned, and after just a moment, he took Ah Li's hand and said to Zi Mo, "I'll take Ah Li to the temple. Just wait for us here."

　　Zi Mo thought it was a child who was curious and nodded without thinking much.

　　Ye Anyian led Ah Li into Fayuan Temple. After walking a few steps, Liu Zhuo walked out from behind a big clock next to him.

　　Seeing the two of them, he frowned: "Why are you bringing a child?"

　　"Hiding others' eyes," Ye Annian said, pointing to his head, "She is different from normal people here. We don't have to carry her behind her back when we talk."

　　Liu Zhuo saw that the little girl was being held by Ye Anian, but his eyes were not on the two of them at all. Instead, he was looking around, with a novel look, and he lowered his guard.

　　"Okay. There are a lot of people here, let's go to the back and talk."

　　Ye Anyian from Fayuan Temple had been here before, and the host here met Xie Xiaogong, so he felt a little relieved.

　　Liu Zhuo led him directly to the Zen room in the backyard.

　　"Did you find anything?"

　　"I found it, it should be the one you want." Ye Anyian said calmly.

　　"Ahem," Liu Zhuo's heart tightened, "Did you bring it?"

　　Ye Anyian shook his head: "It's not easy to get."

　　"What's the meaning?"

　　"You should know that Xie Xiaogong is missing."

　　"Is that thing in his hand?"

Although he knew it early on, Liu Zhuo still asked cautiously.

　　Ye Annian nodded: "He is very cautious and usually keeps it locked in the medicine box he carries with him. However, now that he is missing, I can't give it to you."

　　"Okay, just find it." Liu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Ye Annian was wondering why he had such an attitude, when Liu Zhuo had already led him to a stop at the door of a Zen room.

　　He raised his hand and knocked on the door, then said inside: "Your Highness, someone has brought it."

　　Ye Anyian instantly understood who was inside.

　　At this time, Liu Zhuo had already made a "please" gesture to him: "Little girl, I will watch it for you for a while."

　　"Okay." Ye Anyian said calmly.

　　He seemed to casually pull the bracelet that had just been worn on Ah Li's hand, and said warmly: "Ah Li, wait for me outside for a while, I will be out soon."

　　The little girl blinked and nodded obediently: "Then hurry up."

　　Ye Anyian responded and pushed the door open.

　　The Zen room is not big. There is a statue of Guanyin on the altar table. The incense burner on the table is full of ashes, but no incense is lit. The futon in front of the altar table is empty and there is no one there.

　　Ye Anyian saw a screen blocking the room on the left. He glanced inside and heard a voice coming from behind the screen.

　　"come in."

　　He took a deep breath, walked around the screen, and saw the person sitting behind the table. He had a dignified appearance and a smile in his eyes. He didn't look like an inaccessible person. But there was a trace of lingering anger between his eyebrows, which was slightly incompatible with his current expression.

　　Ye Anqing frowned and leaned down to salute him: "Common people...see the prince."

　　"No need to be polite, just sit down." Wei Zhihuai said.

　　Ye Annian nodded, lifted up his clothes and sat down opposite him.

　　Wei Zhihuai curled his lips: "She is indeed a beauty. No wonder Jiang Shengwan is so precious."

　　Ye Annian was very disgusted with his frivolous words. He lowered his eyes and said, "Your Highness, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. I don't have much time. If I make people outside wait impatiently, I'm afraid they will come in and look for me."

　　"Hiss," Wei Zhihuai took a breath and narrowed his eyes, "Are you threatening me?"

　　"The common people don't dare." Ye Anian's voice was calm. He said he didn't dare, but there was no trace of fear.

　　"That's all, I have a lot of things to do all day long, and I don't have time to deal with you. Liu Zhuo said that you found what I wanted, do you really mean that?"

　　Ye Annian nodded, and just as he was about to speak, Wei Zhihuai interrupted him: "You must think carefully before speaking. I am the prince, the future 95th lord. This crime of deceiving the king will cost you your head." "

　　"Every word of it is true." Ye Anian said without blinking, "The things are in the medicine box that Mr. Xie Xiaogong carries, but now that he is missing, I can't bring the things to His Highness."

　　"Oh." Wei Zhihuai tapped his fingers on the table and suddenly smiled, "You are smarter, better than Liu Zhuo, that idiot who only knows how to play tricks."

　　"What do you mean by this, Your Highness?"

　　"Xie Xiaogong entered the palace to meet my father dozens of days ago, and then disappeared without a trace. Do you suspect that I took him away?"

Ye Anian's hands hanging in his sleeves suddenly clenched into fists, but his face remained calm: "Your Highness was joking. How could Xie Xiaogong's disappearance be related to His Highness?"

　　"Really?" Wei Zhihuai stared at him with a half-smile, "But you said that the thing was on Xie Xiaogong's possession, and now he is missing. If I want to get the thing, I must find him first."

　　"Ye Anyian, have you really seen that thing, or are you testing me?"

　　Wei Zhihuai's voice was low, but Ye Anyian suddenly felt a chill coming from behind.

　　He swallowed subconsciously and pretended to be calm: "Of course I have really seen it."

　　The smile on Wei Zhihuai's face suddenly fell. He stood up abruptly, leaning half of his body on the table, and leaned down suddenly, forcing himself in front of Ye Anyian.

　　The eyes that were smiling just now were so gloomy and scary.

　　"really?"

　　Ye Annian was suddenly frightened and subconsciously leaned back. When he hurriedly raised his hand to sort out the scattered hair, his fingers pressed on the earring of his left ear.
