Doctor Xu stood aside, feeling the thorny gaze, and felt that his head was shaking on his neck. He shook his body and quickly said:

"Well, although, although I don't know why this young master can't speak, but I think there is nothing wrong with his throat. If he is willing to receive treatment, he should be able to recover."

As soon as the words fell, not only Jiang Xin, but even Xie Ze immediately looked at Doctor Xu and asked anxiously: "Are you serious?"

"It's just possible..." Doctor Xu was stared at by Xie Ze's intimidating gaze, and said cautiously: "Sir, the young master is still young. If someone has the patience to communicate with the young master more from now on, the young master can try to figure out the voice state of others during the communication, or you can give it a try."

However, Jiang Xin is already past the age of childhood and has not spoken for so many years. If he wants to recover to the level of a normal person, he needs great willpower and perseverance. What's more, the person who assists him needs to be patient enough to teach him word by word and let him imitate, so that he has a chance of recovery.

If either of these two conditions is missing, success will be difficult.

However, regarding this last point, Doctor Xu glanced at Xie Ze who was like a mad dog, and thought that he should not say it out loud to spoil the fun, otherwise he would not only spoil the fun of others, but also his own grave.

However, after hearing that Ah Xin's muteness could be cured, Xie Ze finally looked a little better when he looked at Doctor Xu. He took Jiang Xin aside and asked about the treatment plan in detail, and then he asked Ah Fu to send the doctor away.

In fact, in his previous life, he had asked a doctor to see Ah Xin, but it was too late when he met Ah Xin. Moreover, Ah Xin had experienced too many changes at that time, and his muteness was even more serious than it is now. His throat could not make any sound at all.

Therefore, the doctors at that time and even the imperial physicians in the palace determined that Jiang Xin would never be able to speak again.

This time, he met Ashin a few years earlier, so the result was naturally different.

Jiang Xin was also a little excited, but when he thought about what Dr. Xu had said, that he needed someone to be by his side all the time and have infinite patience to teach him how to speak and pronounce, his excitement cooled down a little.

Whether in the Jiang residence or in the academy, no one had the patience to talk to him. Every time they saw him slowly taking out a notebook to write, or stumbling with sign language, those people would always interrupt him impatiently, then turn around and leave after finishing their own things, without giving him a chance to reply.

He had no one with whom he could talk all the time, with whom he could learn all the time.

A warm hand stroked his soft hair, and Jiang Xin heard a familiar cold voice from above his head: "I will practice with you in the future."

Jiang Xin was stunned, and subconsciously raised his head, staring at the person in front of him in a daze.

He still looked frightening and frightening, and his tone was still a little creepy, but Jiang Xin was suddenly not so scared anymore. He just felt his nose sore and his eyes hot. He gestured a little aggrievedly: [Thank you, Your Highness. I won’t bother you anymore.]

I don't want you to think I'm a bother.

【I'll think of a way to get help from others. 】

I really, really want you to help me...

At this time, Jiang Xin was quite glad that he was a mute, so that he could keep every word he longed for in his heart.

The prince and he had only met once, but he had already helped him so much. The prince was such a good person, he could not continue to take advantage of him just because of his kindness. That would be too unreasonable.

However, Jiang Xin, who was still looking down in disappointment, did not notice that just after he rejected Xie Ze's help, Xie Ze's face instantly turned into an ice cube, and he managed to squeeze out a few words in a chilly voice: "Who do you want to ask for help?"

When he was with Jiang Xin in his previous life, Jiang Xin seldom mentioned his past, and Xie Ze didn't ask much about it.

Now that he thought about it, even if Jiang Xin was not welcomed in the Jiang residence, did he have any real friends during this period of time? Or even someone he fell in love with for the first time?

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Xie Ze could no longer calm himself down. He grabbed Jiang Xin's wrist with one hand and forced Jiang Xin to raise his head with the other hand, gritting his teeth and saying:

"I have already requested the Emperor to allow you to be my study partner. From now on, you must spend at least half of your time with me and work for me. Even if you want to find someone else, they won't have the chance to spend every day with you.

Only this king is the best person to practice with you, you can only choose me!"

"……"what?

Jiang Xin was stunned by Xie Ze's words. He always felt that the prince's sarcastic tone might have misunderstood something. Why did he make it sound like he was a picky and unfaithful person?

No, that's not the point!

[Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants me to be the prince's study companion?!] Jiang Xin gestured to Xie Ze in shock. How is this possible?

"You, don't want to?" Xie Ze was now stuck in a dilemma, his mind full of thoughts about who Jiang Xin wanted to practice with. He tried his best to suppress his anger and pain, staring at Jiang Xin.

Are you so afraid of me that you don't want to be with me?

"..." Although Jiang Xin was trembling with fear at Xie Ze's murderous gaze, he still shook his head and explained anxiously: [No! It's just that I'm a mute, how can I be the prince's companion? ]

To be a study companion, one must be able to read first. He couldn’t even speak. In his father’s words, he was a useless person. Let alone being a study companion, he couldn’t even be a servant who passed messages to the prince.

"If I say you can do it, you can do it." Xie Ze didn't want to hear any more rejection from Jiang Xin, so he took Jiang Xin's hand and asked the servants to prepare the carriage while saying to Jiang Xin, "Let's go."

[…Where are we going?] Jiang Xin was dragged into the carriage by Xie Ze with a confused look on his face. It seemed as if time had gone back to last night. He was brought back to the palace by Xie Ze inexplicably…

*

By the time Jiang Xin came to his senses, Xie Ze's carriage had already stopped at the gate of Baishan Academy.

Seeing the plaque at the gate, Jiang Xin was stunned. The scene of being driven out of the mountain gate by the teacher yesterday was still vivid in his mind.

Because he was worried about returning the jade pendant to Lu Wuliang, he was a little absent-minded yesterday. He finally made it until the end of the school day and wanted to talk to Lu Wuliang with the jade pendant, but the teacher came hurriedly with a group of people.

Before he could figure out the Master's intention, a group of people captured him and searched him and found the jade pendant that Lu Wuliang had given him.

Afterwards, the teacher angrily scolded him for his bad behavior and stealing his classmates' property, and drove him out of the mountain without even giving him a chance to defend himself.

Yes, he is mute, and who has the patience to listen to a mute explain?

Jiang Xin pursed his lips and lowered his eyes. At this moment, he heard Xie Ze's cold voice beside him: "Your Majesty has handed the case of the theft in the academy over to me. Don't be afraid. Just tell me the whole story, or write it down. I will take care of the rest."

Jiang Xin suddenly raised his head, looking at Xie Ze with eyes that seemed to be gleaming with stars. Then he hurriedly took out a pen and paper, and carefully rewrote the letter of defense he had written to his father yesterday. Then he handed it to Xie Ze with both hands, looking at him eagerly.

Xie Ze took the letter from Jiang Xin. He did not mock and insult him like Jiang Xingyu did, nor did he ignore it like Jiang Zhengchu did. Instead, he read the contents of the paper carefully, folded the paper carefully and put it in his sleeve. Then he rubbed Jiang Xin's hair soothingly and said:

"It's better not to go to this kind of academy that jumps to conclusions based on only one side of the story. I will go with you to pack your things, and then we will go to the dean together to thoroughly investigate the matter."

Jiang Xin was stunned when he heard this. Just as he was about to gesture with his hands, he heard a disappointing voice from outside the carriage: "Your Highness is finally here. I thought Your Highness was so busy that he almost forgot about the three-day deadline."

Xie Ze frowned, jumped off the carriage, looked at the person coming over with a cold face, and said unhappily: "Why is Lord Liang here too?"

Liang Yihe bowed to Xie Ze and said with a fake smile: "I am here under the order of His Majesty to assist Your Highness in investigating the theft at the academy. I want to solve the case as soon as possible and I dare not slack off for a moment."

"Lord Liang has devoted his life to sharing the worries of the king. I admire him." Xie Ze stared at Liang Yihe and said sinisterly.

"...I am just loyal to the emperor and earn his salary. Your Highness, thank you for your praise." Liang Yihe felt scared when Xie Ze looked at him, but when he thought of the crazy look of this man who didn't give him, an old minister, any face in the court, his anger suppressed his fear, and he spoke to Xie Ze in a sarcastic tone.

At this time, Jiang Xin heard the voice and got out of the car. When he heard that Liang Yihe was another official who was ordered to investigate his case, he bowed to him.

It's a pity that Liang Yihe didn't look as fierce as Xie Ze. On the contrary, he was not as easy to talk to as Xie Ze. When he learned that the boy who came with Xie Ze was Jiang Xin, the suspect in the theft case, he immediately said to Xie Ze with a cold face:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. You are the chief judge of the theft case. You are so close to the suspect before the matter has been thoroughly investigated. It is inevitable that people will suspect that you are unfair."

As soon as the voice fell, Liang Yihe knew that this madman could make people angry to death when he was crazy, so he learned his lesson this time. Before Xie Ze could speak, he quickly added: "In my humble opinion, before the truth comes out, you should keep your distance from this... Young Master Jiang.

Even if we need to summon Mr. Jiang to find out the situation, we should confront him in court, not contact him privately."

After saying that, Liang Yihe turned to look at Jiang Xin and said bluntly, "Mr. Jiang probably doesn't want to be labeled a bully on top of being a thief, right?"

Xie Ze's face fell instantly. If it were in his previous life, anyone who dared to talk to him like this would have lost ten heads.

"You old man, how dare you..."

Before Xie Ze could kick the fifty-year-old Liang Yihe completely into the ground, he was grabbed by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Jiang Xin.

[Your Highness, please don't be angry. Lord Liang is right. Besides, I have to go back to the academy to pack my things. Your Highness is going to investigate a case, so I won't go with you.] Jiang Xin gestured stumblingly, and crooked his eyes, trying to appease the furious Xie Ze:

[I am waiting for Your Highness to find out the truth and clear my name. ]

Suddenly, Xie Ze calmed down, his expression brightened instantly, looking at Jiang Xin's trusting and expectant eyes, he suppressed his reluctance, and said reluctantly: "Let Ah Fu accompany you, don't be afraid, I'm here."

[I know, I believe Your Highness.] Jiang Xin nodded with his eyes bent, and then obediently took Ah Fu into the academy.

Liang Yihe watched the interaction between the two coldly without saying anything, just shook his sleeves and said to Xie Ze expressionlessly: "I wonder if Your Highness intends to try this case in this way?

In my humble opinion, Baishan Academy is well-known, and many candidates come from here every year. This matter affects the reputation of the academy. We should first pay a visit to the dean and discuss this with him before investigating the matter privately. Don’t make a big deal, so as to avoid…”

"Baishan Academy is a place admired by students all over the world. If such a corrupt thing happened, we should report it to the court, hold an interrogation, and announce it to the whole of Shangjing. We should find out the cancer that has ruined the reputation of the academy and punish it severely to serve as an example to others!"

"...Huh?!" Liang Yi and Yuan were still thinking that this matter was not glorious after all. Since the prince and Jiang Xin were old acquaintances and Baishan Academy did not want to make a big fuss, a private trial would be best. By proposing this, he was giving the prince a way out and doing the academy a favor.

Unexpectedly, this crazy prince did not play by the rules at all. Not only did he not come down the stairs, but he also suddenly opened the court to attend the trial as if he had gone crazy.

Not to mention that it would be bad for no one if this matter got out of hand, could Xie Ze really guarantee that Jiang Xin was wrongly accused? Even if he could guarantee Jiang Xin's character, could he really guarantee that he could restore the innocence of the matter and prove Jiang Xin's innocence?

Liang Yihe didn't underestimate Xie Ze. After he was appointed to assist in investigating the theft case at the academy, he immediately sent someone to find out what happened. Jiang Xin's classmate Lu Wuliang lost his jade pendant, which was found on Jiang Xin's body. Then the academy expelled Jiang Xin from the academy for theft.

Although the academy's conviction process was a bit hasty, with the presence of witnesses and evidence, the academy cannot be faulted for doing so.

From this perspective, this is just a very simple case, but precisely because it is simple, there are fewer doubts that can be found in it.

Especially, Young Master Jiang is not very popular with people. If he were to call witnesses, it is estimated that no one would speak for him. In the end, the only one who would be embarrassed would be Young Master Jiang himself.

His Royal Highness the Wise King has been on the battlefield for a long time. He wouldn't think that trying a case is like going to war with him, and that all he needs to do is have a strong fist, right?

Thinking of this, Liang Yihe stopped trying to persuade him and just sneered, "Your Majesty is the presiding judge of this case, and I am only assisting in the investigation. Since Your Majesty intends to hold a hearing, I naturally have no objection."

After all, whether this matter was handled well or not, and whether it would offend the students of Baishan Academy, that was Xie Ze's business and had nothing to do with Liang Yihe.
