The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

Chapter 37: Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an

Seeing a strand of hair stuck to the corner of Lu Xiaoxiao's eye, making her seem to be sleeping quietly, Xie Xi frowned and subconsciously reached out his hand.

His slender fingers fell on her face and gently brushed away the strands of hair. He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew his hand.

Seeing Lu Xiaoxiao's slightly obedient sleeping face, Xie Xi's eyes softened and he curled the corners of his lips unconsciously.

With Lu Fengyi accompanying me along the way, I feel more at ease.

Xie Xi retracted his gaze and his eyes fell on the book in his hand again.

Suddenly, a soft moan sounded in my ears.

Xie Xi paused in turning the pages.

When he turned his eyes, he met Lu Xiaoxiao's sleepy almond eyes.

Xie Xi froze for a moment, and suddenly felt that the fingers that had just touched her cheek had inexplicably become warm.

Lu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, looking a little confused, and was unable to react for a while.

Lu Xiaoxiao still leaned on Xie Xi's right shoulder, tilted her head, and asked softly in his ear, "Husband? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Um……"

The warm breath sprayed on his ears, and the waves of fragrance came over him, which was even more difficult for Xie Xi to resist than when he heard her confessing her love to him in her heart.

His heartbeat gradually quickened.

Xie Xi's Adam's apple rolled slightly, his back stiffened, and he looked away, his eyes fell on the book in his hand. When he opened his mouth, he was surprised to find that his voice was a little hoarse: "I still have some things to deal with, Xiaoxiao, you go back to sleep."

"Husband, what else?"

[Forget it, it seems a bit inappropriate to let me sleep alone if Your Highness doesn't want to sleep. Why don't I ask Your Highness if I can help? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao barely woke up a little. She sat up straight and subconsciously wanted to stretch.

But when she noticed that His Highness was still beside her, Lu Xiaoxiao paused slightly, and pretended to casually withdraw her hand, but accidentally slapped the back of His Highness's hand, causing the book in his hand to fall.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoxiao was completely awake: "..."

[Oh no, Your Highness, you don't think I did this on purpose, do you? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao quickly bent down and picked up the booklet that fell at her feet.

Suddenly, the seven words "Governor-General of Jiangnan Shi Weian" fell into her eyes.

[Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an? He seems to be the mastermind behind the Jiangnan bribery case? ]

[So His Highness stayed up all night just to check on the situation of Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an? ]

[It's just a small matter, why do you need Your Highness to handle it? Why don't you just ask me? Not to mention Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an, I know everything about Shi Wei'an's ancestors! ]

Xie Xi: “…”

Well, he almost forgot that his Lu Fengyi knew more information that no one else knew.

However, this booklet about the situation of Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian was collected by Lu Fengyi when he sent his secret guards to Jiangnan before Lu Fengyi entered the palace.

Lu Xiaoxiao handed the booklet to His Highness, but saw His Highness holding her hand and said gently: "Xiaoxiao, you can also take a look, and then tell me what you think of Shi Weian, the governor of Jiangnan."

"Ok?"

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at His Highness in surprise.

Facing Lu Xiaoxiao's puzzled gaze, Xie Xi remained calm and said, "I am tired of reading. Xiaoxiao, please read it once and tell me, okay?"

[So your highness is tired. No problem, leave it to me! ]

Lu Xiaoxiao agreed immediately: "Okay, husband."

Xie Xi curled the corners of his lips slightly, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Lu Xiaoxiao opened the booklet and read through it quickly.

However, he found that most of the things recorded in the book about Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an were well known, and none of them involved the Jiangnan bribery case.

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but complain in her heart: [Who on earth collected this information? It's totally useless.]

Xie Xi agreed with this.

This information is really of no use at all.

The power in Jiangnan was too hidden, and there were too many injustices hidden in the dark that no one knew about. Even if he sent secret guards to go there, it would take several months to find out only the superficial things...

Lu Xiaoxiao continued to flip through the booklet while calling Jiujiu with her consciousness.

Now that we haven’t seen the Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian in person, the system’s melon-eating function cannot unlock the plot related to Shi Weian, but Your Highness wants to know, so Lu Xiaoxiao can only ask Jiujiu for help.

Jiujiu popped up: [Dear host, Jiujiu is here]

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Jiujiu, I want to know everything about Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an!"

"Because I haven't met that person yet and can't unlock his storyline, so..."

"Jiujiu, you know."

Jiujiu said she didn’t really want to understand.

However, Jiujiu still dutifully checked the system: [Dear host, if you predict the character's plot in advance, you will be deducted points]

Lu Xiaoxiao: ???

[This system is too stingy. I was just trying to complete the task, but in the end, my points were deducted just because I wanted to know something!]

Xie Xi's expression paused slightly, and his eyes were dark and unclear.

What kind of system is that? Why did it deduct Lu Fengyi’s points?

Lu Xiaoxiao resisted the urge to curse the system and took a deep breath: "How many points will be deducted?"

Jiujiu flattered: [One point]

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

【That's it? 】

[Just one point deduction. I'm so disappointed that I'm ready to fight with the system. ]

"Okay, I'll deduct one point, and then tell me everything about Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an without leaving out any details."

Jiujiu: [Ding! One point was successfully deducted. There are still 149 points in the host's account.]

Jiujiu: [Please wait for a moment, dear host. The plot related to Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an is being transmitted——]

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Okay."

After transmitting the plot into the mind of his host, Jiujiu went offline.

[Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an, courtesy name Anping, was from Suzhou, Jiangnan. His parents died when he was young, so he lived with his uncle and was bullied by his aunt and cousin. He was driven out of the house at the age of fifteen and became a wanderer.]

[By chance, the sixteen-year-old Shi Weian became the adopted son of the previous governor-general of Jiangnan. When he was twenty-five, Shi Weian failed the provincial examination. Under the manipulation of his adoptive father, he worked as a handyman for the governor of Jiangning, and was appreciated by him...]

[At the age of 29, Shi Wei'an married the daughter of the Jiangning governor to seek a better future. One year later, when his wife was about to give birth, Shi Wei'an kept three mistresses outside for a full ten years, and they have never been discovered until today...]

[One of the concubines, Li, was deeply favored by Shi Wei'an. In a month, he stayed by Li's side for ten days...]

Xie Xi's eyes flickered. It seemed that this concubine, Li, was very important. Perhaps he could learn something from her.
