Come on, Your Highness

After drinking for three rounds, the emperor left the banquet, and the banquet ended.

The courtiers left in twos and threes, Xiao Hong found He Xichao, stopped him, and told Xiao Xuanzi: "Go and tell Wei Guogong, I have something to do with Xichao, so he doesn't have to wait any longer."

Xiao Xuanzi took the order and went.

Xiao Hong dragged people to the side hall to talk, while Xiao Dunzi guarded the door without being disturbed.

He grasped He Xichao's hand and said excitedly: "Although I already knew that I was going to be the crown prince, but the emperor really announced it in public today, I still feel like I'm dreaming! Xichao, I'm so happy! You Are you happy?"

Just say, how can you be so calm?That was the crown prince who had waited nine years to regain the position!

He Xichao smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy. This means that our efforts have not been in vain, and the goal is being achieved step by step."

Xiao Hong nodded again and again, he looked at He Xichao, his eyes were full of love and gratitude, he simply hugged him, put his head on He Xichao's shoulder, couldn't help rubbing his chin vigorously: "Xi Chao, if Xiao Hong didn't have you , there will be no today, I have always remembered it in my heart. Hey, how do you think I am so lucky to be treated by you with all my heart?"

He Xichao grabbed his clothes, and laughed softly: "Don't focus on being nice."

"You know, not only your mouth must sound good, but your actions must also look good. The combination of the two can win your heart!"

He Xichao raised his eyebrows: "Not bad, very enlightened."

Xiao Hong straightened up and held He Xichao's shoulders with both hands, lowered his head, and their foreheads touched, showing their intimacy.

He said: "Xi Chao, I don't want to disappoint anyone in this world, and I can't disappoint you. In fact, although I am happy today, I still have some regrets."

He Xichao was a little puzzled: "What are you sorry about?"

"You have to bow down to me from so far away. I don't want to do this. I hope that when I ascend the throne, you can stand by my side and share this glory with me. Cherish the dynasty, I want to bring the best I will give it all to you, this beautiful river and mountain, if it belongs to me in the future, it will definitely bear your brand."

Sweet words are the most touching, but also the least trustworthy, He Xichao knows this very well.

However, for Xiao Hong, he can't be on guard at all, he can only put away all the thorns, open the softest place, and reveal his sincerity.

"Okay, let's work hard. The prince is just the starting point. From now on, the road under your feet will become really difficult. Now you can only go up, not down. Once you fall down the sky again, we will only have a dead end."

Xiao Hong nodded heavily: "I understand, but as long as you are by my side, I will go forward bravely and be omnipotent."

After finishing speaking, he licked his lips, looked at He Xichao with burning eyes and said, "I'll talk about anything else later, today is such a good day, Xichao, let's celebrate with a kiss."

He Xichao blinked, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Aren't you looking for the emperor anymore?"

"go."

"Then you're still here?"

"Kissing won't waste much time, come on, come on, Xi Chao, you live in the Duke's mansion today, if you don't see each other, give me a thought."

What a mess!

But when Xiao Hong became entangled, He Xichao couldn't stand it at all. Besides, kissing someone he likes is addictive, he... also thought about it!

After a long while, He Xichao tidied up his somewhat messy clothes, breathed steadily, and then pushed open the palace door and came out, followed by Xiao Hong.

He Xichao looked back at Xiao Hong and said, "You go, I'm leaving the palace."

However, Xiao Hong stopped him: "Xi Chao, you should think about it. If I present myself in front of my father, there will be no turning back. I am afraid that my grandfather will be very angry, and everyone in the He family will blame you."

He Xichao rolled up his sleeves, and said softly: "My mother has been righted, today my grandfather mentioned to me that I will be the next head of the He family, Wei Guogong."

Xiao Hong was taken aback when he heard the words: "Then you..."

"I told my grandfather, not to mention the He family, even myself, all of this is not as important as your coming."

Xiao Hong was stunned for a moment, his eyes moved.

He Xichao smiled slightly, and he said nonchalantly: "If Duke Wei's mansion can't stay any longer, it's just for me to set up my own family, just like what I imagined, isn't it?"

Xiao Hong's heart was so full that it was blocked in his throat so that he couldn't say any touching words. In the end, he could only clumsily reassure: "Xi Chao, I will not let you down."

He Xichao nodded slightly, turned and left.

However, at the gate of the palace, Wei Guogong's carriage still did not leave, He Xiang saw Xiao Xuanzi sending He Xichao out, so he went up to meet him.

"The slave will leave." Xiao Xuanzi said.

He Xi got on the carriage, and Wei Guogong opened his eyes to look at him with his eyes closed.

He Xichao said with a smile: "It's already very late, why should grandfather wait for grandson, it makes people feel embarrassed."

He Xichao, if he doesn't want others to see something, no one will see it.

Wei Guogong looked at him and asked, "Xi Chao, is Your Highness leaving the palace so late?"

He Xichao said in amazement: "Where does my grandson know about His Highness's whereabouts?"

Wei Guogong felt that he would only be fooled by the other party if he continued to play haha ​​with He Xichao. After thinking for a while, he said: "Two days ago, a batch of ginseng medicine was sent from Liaozhou. It was your second cousin who specially found it for you. I know you I suffered a crime in Jiangzhou, and I will support you."

"Uncle?" He Xichao asked strangely, "Then who is it?"

Wei Guogong's eyes widened: "Don't give me such a trick, the He family doesn't have many in-laws, don't you know? I'm still here, and I'm just this younger sister. She married into the Lin family and gave birth to two sons. Only your second cousin was left behind, and he is considered promising, serving as governor of Liaozhou, named Lin Cenyan."

Mentioning this name, He Xichao suddenly realized: "It turned out to be him. Then why would you give these things to me in a decent way? It sounds very precious."

"It's precious, they are all rare old ginseng, Lin Zhi and the like, it's enough to send them to the palace as tributes."

When He Xichao heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "The grandson doesn't dare to take him in. Besides, my body has been recuperated in Jiangzhou. My cousin appreciates his kindness, but I still appreciate it. You can decide what to do!"

He Xichao's unfamiliarity made Wei Guogong a little unhappy: "Why are you so out of touch?"

He Xichao also suppressed his smile, and his tone became weaker: "Grandfather, you will not be rewarded for nothing."

Wei Guogong looked at his reluctance, and asked bluntly: "Xi Chao, tell me honestly, is the matter of the Lu family over? Will it affect Beijing, or other people?"

This time, He Xichao didn't turn left to talk about him, but instead looked straight at Wei Guogong and asked, "Why is grandfather so concerned? Could it be that you are also involved?"

"Of course not!"

"Then what are you worried about?"

Wei Guogong's face darkened: "Xi Chao, have you forgotten what the old man told you today? The entire He family, everyone is damaged, everyone is prosperous..."

He Xichao waved his hand: "His surname is Lin, not He."

Wei Guogong frowned, as if he was hesitant to tell He Xichao the truth, and finally he said: "But he is your cousin after all, and the He family is a serious in-law. The two families have always been close, and they should support each other."

He Xichao chuckled twice: "This is a joke to me!"

"Xi Chao!"

"Grandfather, all I know is that once we arrived in Jiangzhou, His Highness and I will be surrounded by tigers and wolves, and our lives will be threatened at any time. Your grandson, your grandson will almost never come back!"

Whenever He Xichao thought of the storm that night, his whole body became gloomy!

He looked at Wei Guogong and said word by word: "I hate all those who caused the situation in Jiangzhou, Cheng Enhou, Liang Yuan, and others who escaped."

Wei Guogong took a deep breath, he felt that He Xichao couldn't be excited, so he persuaded him: "It's all over, Xichao, these two people, the culprits, have been punished! Now that the King of England has been crowned prince, it's time to seek stability. You Why make such a big fuss, do you know how many people will be involved?"

He Xi raised a mocking arc towards the corner of his lips: "I know?"

Wei Guogong's eyes flickered suddenly: "Sure enough! Marquis Cheng En has to drag everyone into the water in the end!"

Hearing this, He Xichao laughed, even out loud.

"Xi Dynasty!" Wei Guogong was a little annoyed by his laughter.

"It's really interesting..."

What is dragged into the water? Are those who eat bloody steamed buns and step on the pain of others to climb up innocent?

Let them go, how can we be worthy of those suffering people, and how can we calm his panic that he almost lost Xiao Hong?

Under the dim light in the carriage, He Xichao laughed heartily, but his expression was extremely cold.

"Xi Chao, other old men don't care, but Cen Yan can't do anything. He is the governor of Liaozhou, and he will be promoted to governor. This is a great official in the frontier! Not to mention the He family, it is to His Royal Highness, and to you. Good point!"

He Xichao stopped laughing, shook his head and looked at Wei Guogong with a sigh.

I just feel that for so many years, this old man really hasn't changed at all, everything is inseparable from the word profit, for the sake of profit, all principles are shit, and conscience can be firmly trampled underfoot.

He didn't intend to argue any more, but said with a blank face: "Grandfather, there is no need to say any more, I have read the list, and I have also seen all the evidence. I can only say that fortunately our He family heirs are not very promising, and there is no name on the list." As for Lin Cenyan, the former magistrate of Jiangzhou, who worked in collusion with the Lu family and took the common people's bonus to rise up step by step, you should give up! Even if the little aunt cried to death in front of you, he would I can't live anymore!"

"Xi Chao!"

"Needless to say, grandfather." He raised his hand to stop Wei Guogong, "I just came back, and I didn't sleep well in the afternoon, so let my grandson be quiet for a while."

However, the frown between Wei Guogong's brows became more and more profound. He did not keep silent as he said, but said: "Now that the matter is up to now, the old man will not hide it from you. Cen Yan is not just the old man's nephew, he is even closer to our He family. It's a matter of solidarity! The He family's livelihood depends on him, if something happens to Cen Yan, the He family will have a hard time in the future!"

He Xichao couldn't help looking over.

Wei Guogong said: "Think about the huge population of the He family and the many dependents. As the head of the family, if the old man does not have a huge source of income, he will not be able to support so many people. What's more, you are extorting money from the old man every day. .”

He Xichao gave him a cold look when he heard the words, and before the corner of his mouth revealed the familiar sarcasm, Wei Guogong said: "Liaozhou is located in the northwest, and it is the only way to go to the countries in the Western Regions. Although Daqi's borders are closed, However, as long as the operation is done properly and the checkpoints are cleared, the communication will naturally be smooth. What's more, with Cen Yan around, it will be a huge profit. The He family lives on this, Xi Chao, how can you bear it?"

He Xichao didn't speak.

Wei Guogong sighed deeply, and said softly: "Grandfather knows that you have suffered in Jiangzhou, but if I had heard the news earlier, I would have reminded you that I always hope that you will be better. However, since the matter is over, I always It is to take the interests of the family into consideration, after all, you are the person who wants to be the head of the family! The whole family can look at you, cherish the court, can you just show your noble hand, beg you, grandpa, and give me face, okay? "

He Xichao didn't nod or shake his head, he said flatly: "Grandfather, I have a question."

"You said."

"You appointed me as heir so quickly, did you make this decision before or after you received Lin Cenyan's letter?"

Wei Guogong frowned: "Is this related to whether you agree or not?"

"No."

"Then what do you mean by asking?"

He Xichao looked at him and said, "I just want to let myself see more clearly who you are."

"Xi Chao..."

"Grandpa, it's late."

Duke Wei opened his eyes.

"Tonight, His Highness will submit the list."

The rickety carriage finally stopped, and He Xiang's voice came from outside.

"Master Guo, Master Xichao, here we are."

After He Xiang finished speaking, he waited for a while, but there was still no sound, so he was puzzled and urged again.

"Master Guo, Young Master Xichao, you have already arrived at the mansion, please get off the carriage."

This time the door creaked and was pushed open, He Xichao came out from inside, He Xiang was about to help, but he jumped out of the carriage without even looking.

"Hey, be careful, young master."

He Xiang glanced over subconsciously. Although He Xichao bowed his head and the lights were dim, He Xiang still noticed the clue. There was a clear red mark on that delicate face!

He instantly widened his eyes in shock.

He Xi glanced at him with a cold gaze, and then walked towards An Yunxuan without looking back.

He Xiang trembled all over, and when he turned his head, he saw Wei Guogong coming out of the carriage, his face was also covered with frost.

"Your Highness..."

Wei Guogong gritted his teeth and looked at He Xichao's back and cursed angrily: "You bastard!"

The author has something to say: Yao: I feel sorry for my family, Xi Chao, and let me brag about it.

By the way, who keeps staring at my acne?
