Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

After Xie Yongyan left, Xie Ze put away the unexpected gift, and then went to his tutor and said proudly, "Look, Xin, apart from some old stubborn people who don't know how to read, there are still many people who wish us well."

Jiang Xin: "..." Not only many people, if he doesn't get married, I'm afraid that his highness will create a group of supporters of the prince and his companions in the capital...

The old stubborn people who don’t have eyes: “…”

"How ridiculous! This is absolutely ridiculous!" Xie Ze's voice was not small. An old stubborn man sitting opposite him heard it accidentally. Seeing the two of them approaching each other as if no one was around, he got so angry that his beard was shaking. He wanted to stand up and scold them for their immoral behavior, but he was afraid of being targeted by that lunatic Xie Ze.

Without the emperor, who can stop this madman here! In other words, even if the emperor was here, if he dared to insult Jiang Xin, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to stop this extremely arrogant guy...

Thinking of this, the stubborn old minister became even angrier. He didn't dare to accuse Xie Ze in person, so he could only turn his back and pull a friendly minister next to him and start to curse in a low voice:

"He did such a disgraceful thing in public at the palace banquet. He totally ignored us. This guy... is so outrageous. I wonder how long Your Majesty can tolerate him!"

The minister whose hand he held smiled awkwardly but did not agree.

Nowadays, there are probably not many ministers like this old minister who fail to see the situation clearly.

If Xie Ze was lawless and arrogant in the past, they might really be able to look forward to the time when His Majesty could no longer tolerate him, began to be wary of him, and withdrew all his favors to him.

But now, Xie Ze not only saved the emperor, but also cut off his own bloodline and wanted to marry Jiang Xin. He will no longer pose any threat to Your Majesty. Instead, he has become the sharpest sword, both externally and internally... Your Majesty would have to have a brain seizure to turn against Xie Ze.

The old minister was a little unhappy when he saw that the other party did not respond to him. He frowned and was about to say something, but then he saw the guards who were guarding on the side suddenly surrounded him and even drew their knives at him.

The old minister was startled, thinking that Xie Ze had heard his comments and was attacking him. He did not expect that the other party would be so arrogant. He immediately jumped up in anger and said angrily to Xie Ze:

"Xie Ze! You are really going too far! Do you really think you have the final say in this palace?

His Majesty asked you to take charge of the Imperial Guards just to make you responsible for the safety of the palace, but you actually let them turn their swords against me because of your momentary mood. This is outrageous behavior, I will definitely join forces with other ministers to report this matter to His Majesty!"

Xie Ze: “…”

Everyone: "..."

"Ahem." The friend standing by couldn't stand it any longer, so he quickly pulled the minister's clothes and whispered, "Calm down first, this doesn't seem to be an order from His Royal Highness the Wise King..."

"Who else could it be if not him..." The old minister turned back angrily, and the scolding that was about to come out of his mouth was stuck in place, and he couldn't utter a single word.

It turned out that not only him, but all the ministers were surrounded by palace guards.

No matter how stupid he was, he realized that something was wrong. He was the only one who had just said something bad about Xie Ze. Even if Xie Ze was arrogant, there was no need for him to offend all the ministers. This was obviously... His Majesty's order.

Before everyone could ask anxiously what happened, the chief guard stepped out, glanced at everyone coldly, and said expressionlessly:

"There has been some progress in the assassination of His Majesty yesterday. Please follow me to the side hall. Once the case is investigated and it is confirmed that you are not involved, you can leave on your own."

"..."Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They obviously didn't expect that there would be a breakthrough in the case so soon, and on the day of the palace banquet.

At this moment, no one was thinking about the New Year. They were just worried about whether they could get out of this case that involved the entire court.

"Captain You, has the person behind this case been found?" A minister couldn't help but ask cautiously.

The chief guard did not hide anything when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Not yet, but we have found the families of two of the assassins, and I believe the truth will soon be revealed."

Everyone gasped and followed the guards to leave, not even daring to make a sound. In their hearts, they kept wondering which prince had done this. How could he be so stupid as to have someone assassinate His Majesty and not take care of the assassin's family? Isn't this clearly giving his opponent a handle? !

They each thought that the person they were standing with should not be that stupid, but it is better to be safe than sorry. What if someone really has a brain freeze?

The chief guard ignored their thoughts and waved his hand to let the rest of the people take the little princes back to the prince's residence. He then walked towards Xie Ze and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, His Majesty wants you and Young Master Jiang to rest and eat in the East Warm Pavilion for the time being. His Majesty will be here in a while."

Xie Ze was the person who rescued the emperor yesterday and he was a pure royalist. Naturally, he had nothing to do with this matter and did not need to be detained temporarily like the others.

Xie Ze nodded, and for once said nothing. He followed the emperor's instructions and took Jiang Xin to the East Warm Pavilion first.

It was warm in the warm room. As soon as Xie Ze came in, he helped Jiang Xin take off his cloak. He didn't even feel cold.

Emperor Kang Yuan also had the dishes served in advance and instructed the eunuchs to let them eat first if they were hungry.

However, they had just eaten a little at the palace banquet, so they didn't feel hungry at the moment. Thinking that His Majesty said he would be here soon, they did not pick up their chopsticks.

"Are you hot?" Xie Ze pulled Jiang Xin to sit down, looked at his face which was a little red from the steam, and asked with concern.

The temperature in the warm room was too high. Even after taking off a cloak, it was still very stuffy.

Jiang Xin shook his head and asked in confusion, "What did His Majesty ask us to do here?"

Logically speaking, today's palace banquet cannot be held. Since he and His Highness are not under suspicion, shouldn't they be able to leave the palace first?

"It shouldn't be anything important." If there was something, they wouldn't have been asked to wait in the warm room. Xie Ze thought for a moment and said, "It's probably New Year's Day, so you don't want to be alone, right?"

"..." Jiang Xin looked at his outspoken Majesty in silence and reminded him: "Your Majesty has three palaces and six courtyards, and many princes."

Even if there are a few major assassination cases, aren't there still many smaller ones? How can it be that I am alone?

"So, having too many wives and sons is no different from being alone." Xie Ze was not envious at all, and even smiled and approached his companion to show his loyalty:

"It's different from us. We only have each other, so we don't have as many intrigues and worries as he does. We can spend every year happily together."

As soon as Emperor Kang Yuan stepped into the house, he heard the heartbreaking words from his nephew: "..."
