Come on, Your Highness

How did Zhan Shaoqi survive?

Kneeling in public, prosecuting the evidence, kowtowing to plead guilty, causing the onlookers to be covered in filth, the face and dignity of this life are gone, and you can only live!

He Mingrui was stunned when he thought of this, and looked at He Xichao in disbelief.

The latter raised his chopsticks, picked up a pipa prawn and put it in a bowl, ate it gracefully, squinted his eyes after eating, and praised happily: "This taste is better than the one in Wei Guogong's mansion, the one in His Highness's mansion The cooks are really good.”

Xiao Ming didn't know how to reply at this moment.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and said: "Xi Chao, this is too harsh, isn't it? Zhan Shaoqi committed a heinous crime, but my cousin is not!"

When He Xichao heard this, he tilted his head: "So you don't have to be in the street, just kneel...just kneel at the gate of Wei Guogong's mansion. Don't worry, I didn't feel sorry for the common people. No one will hit you with bags all over your head. At most, I will just look down on you."

But does it make a difference?

If he really did this, how would He Mingrui behave in the future?

How can Duke Wei see him?

"Xi Chao, we are all brothers, why do you have to do such a terrible thing?"

Hearing this, He Xichao smiled: "Where did you come from, brother? I've already been dismissed. I'm just a stranger. I don't have any affection."

Xiao Ming was choked for a moment, it was the first time he experienced He Xichao's hard heart.

But He Mingrui's face was gloomy, his black eyes fixed on He Xichao, his knuckles holding the wine glass turned white.

He Xichao looked back at him with his lips hooked and a smile, unmoved.

Finally He Mingrui closed his eyes, then lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down on one knee, and said solemnly: "Xi Chao, I beg you to raise your hand high and let me survive. I'm like a bull or a horse, but it's up to you."

He Mingrui only felt that his knees were stiff, and the bones knocked on the ground were like needles piercing his self-esteem.

Unfortunately...

"I don't lack cattle and horses, and I don't need cattle and horses like you." To think that He Xichao is as kind-hearted as He Lingshan is, it's fanciful, and he doesn't pay attention to just kneeling down.

He Mingrui stared at the ground almost tearing his eyes.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, Xiao Ming looked at this scene, feeling very uncomfortable, this is still his Prince Li's Mansion!

"Xi Chao, just treat it as a face for me, and if Mingrui is inappropriate in the future, it's up to you to deal with it!" Xiao Ming felt that he was a dignified prince, and his words were quite interesting for this sake.

He Xichao was surprised when he heard the words: "Then your face is too valuable."

"He Xichao!" Xiao Ming's expression turned ugly.

"Your Highness, you are just here to make a deal. Whether you are willing to accept it or not is up to the next official. But since you sincerely invite, you will always have to give face. Since He Mingrui can't afford this life-and-death situation, then it's fine if you don't leave." , Agree to my conditions, and let go of life, isn't it reasonable?" He Xichao said slowly, his eyes glowed with understanding, he felt that he was already very generous.

"Aren't you holding onto me for being afraid of the Xishan paddock back then?" He Mingrui finally couldn't bear it anymore, he suddenly raised his head, stared at He Xichao with cold eyes, slowly stood up from the ground, and said word by word, "It's been so many years , do you think that alone can kill me? He Xichao, don't be so self-righteous!"

He Xichao looked at the bulging veins on He Mingrui's forehead, and clenched his fists tightly, thinking that this person must really want to beat him up.

However, the more this is the case, the more he wants to poke He Mingrui's sore spot: "Yo, I almost forgot about this matter, so there is still such a handle?"

"He Xichao! You don't have to put on airs, and you don't have to bully me! I'm not Zhan Shaoqi, even if I haven't done anything good, I haven't done something that deserves my death! So apart from this, you have to send someone to assassinate me, otherwise you have no reason to kill me !"

Ever since he saw Zhan Shaoqi's ending, He Mingrui stopped all his actions that could not be put on the stage, and dealt with them from beginning to end. He was afraid that he would be caught by He Xichao as a criminal evidence like Zhan Shaoqi.

At this time, Xiao Ming said: "The Xishan paddock happened five or six years ago. Those officials were exiled and died. I'm afraid they don't remember it for a long time. Even if you have evidence in your hand, so what? Brother and you It's all right, my cousin married my eldest sister again, and my father won't punish me too severely for my elder sister's sake, Xi Chao, don't you think so?"

He Xichao nodded, and then looked at the two people strangely: "If that's the case, why kneel down and beg for peace?"

"you……"

Xiao Ming understood He Xichao's difficulty.

"Isn't it?" He Xichao glanced at He Mingrui wonderingly, "Didn't you rush to marry the eldest princess just to prevent me from suddenly making trouble? Since you already have the amulet, what are you afraid of?"

What are you afraid of?

He Xichao was insidious and cunning, and he would never target indiscriminately. If he said he wanted to kill himself, it was no longer just a threat, it was really going to send him to hell!

How many times did He Mingrui secretly trick He Xichao, and which one succeeded?Even if he didn't want to admit it, he was indeed no match for He Xichao, he couldn't beat him at all!

In the past, He Xichao didn't bother to talk to him after warning him, but this time when he finally turned his attention to him, He Mingrui found that he couldn't sleep or eat. The closer the day when He Xichao went to the Western Regions, the more frightened he became.

In the end, he had no choice but to ask Xiao Ming to come forward and knelt down to beg for peace, because he couldn't bear this suffering any longer!

But He Xichao actually...

He Mingrui's mind was in chaos, and he suddenly regretted why he provoked this person.

Seeing that no one spoke, He Xichao stood up graciously, and bowed to Xiao Ming: "Thank you for your hospitality, I have important things to do in the afternoon, so I will sit down soon and take my leave."

He Xichao said and left the table, Xiao Ming showed eagerness, and persuaded him: "Xichao, why did this happen!"

"You don't need to persuade me, by the way, just remind me, there is only half a month left, He Mingrui."

"He Xichao, do you have to force me to death!" He Mingrui roared angrily.

He Xichao laughed lowly: "That's right, I'm just forcing you to death!" Seeing that He Mingrui's fists were trembling, he quickly took a step back and said, "It's not a light responsibility to beat up the imperial court officials, what are you going to do?" Bring the head over?"

"This is Prince Li's Mansion!" He Mingrui gritted his teeth and said.

He Xichao looked at Xiao Ming in astonishment: "Your Highness, could it be that you are hosting a Hongmen Banquet?"

Xiao Ming was almost in a dilemma. Of course, he couldn't let He Xichao have an accident in his mansion. He didn't need to be reprimanded by Emperor Tiangan, even if he scratched the surface, his elder brother who protected his shortcomings and made everyone angry would be able to demolish this place!

But let He Xichao go like this, what about He Mingrui?

Wouldn't it be even worse if there was no reconciliation and the talks collapsed!

Xiao Ming looked at He Xichao who was standing on the side with a smile, so as to relax, and sighed in his heart, how could such a person be subdued by ordinary people, it would probably be difficult for him to be by his side.

In this embarrassing situation, He Xichao said leisurely: "Do you want to do it? If you don't do it, His Highness the Crown Prince will come."

This man is still on fire!

Xiao Ming had one head and two big heads, and when he saw that He Mingrui's sanity was about to collapse, the housekeeper suddenly came running out of breath, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here!"

Xiao Ming: "..." If you really talk about people, they will come.

Then he immediately turned his head and scolded: "Mingrui!"

"what happened?"

It didn't take long for the butler's figure to arrive, and before Xiao Ming came to greet him, the tall and long-legged Xiao Hong appeared in front of everyone's eyes. His displeased gaze shifted from Xiao Ming to He Mingrui, and his eyes stopped on He Mingrui's clenched fist. He paused and narrowed his eyes.

"Mingrui!" Xiao Ming had no choice but to remind him again, motioning He Mingrui to put his fist down, then raised his smile and said to Xiao Hong, "Why did you come here, brother, I'm far away, forgive me."

While watching He Mingrui loosen his fist, Xiao Hong said, "You took my Xiao Xichao away, so I can't come over to take a look? What if he is bullied?"

Xiao Ming: "..."

He looked at Xiao Hong, who was upright and not guilty at all, and suddenly felt that the two were really a good match.

Xiao Ming struggled to find his voice, forced a smile and said: "Brother is joking, Xi Chao is a distinguished guest, and there is no time to treat him well, who dares to bully him?"

On the contrary, He Mingrui was forced to almost lose control.

"Really?" Xiao Hong turned his head and glanced at his own Xi Chao, who, apart from the regret in his eyes, did not have a single hair in his beard and tail, and immediately felt relieved.

"Have you finished your meal?" He asked He Xichao.

The latter hummed: "It's over."

"Let's go then."

After the words fell, Xiao Ming subconsciously shouted: "Hey, big brother."

Xiao Hong turned around: "Anything else?"

Xiao Ming looked at He Xichao, looked at He Mingrui, and finally sighed: "Since we're here, why not sit down and drink some together, open a jar of good wine, it would be a pity not to drink."

Xiao Hong glanced at the wine glasses on the table and knew what he was doing. Since the glasses were still full, all three of them left the table, which showed that the conversation had broken up.

So he asked in surprise: "Didn't Xi Chao understand what he said?"

"But this is too..."

"It's good to explain it clearly, just do it. The tolerance and generosity of the past was not cherished, and now don't expect others to repay grievances with kindness, Xiao Minger, you are more proficient in "The Analects of Confucius" than me, right?"

Crackling, clapping, He Xichao said: "You're right." He looked sideways at He Mingrui who didn't say a word, and kindly reminded him again, "Before I do anything, if I figure it out, I'll send someone at any time." Come on, I'll give you a chance to stop."

He Xichao followed Xiao Hong to leave slowly, calmly from the beginning to the end.

Only He Mingrui looked at the table full of untouched food and drink, and his heart was filled with sadness.

In fact, he didn't want to do anything, he came to ask for peace.

Xiao Ming sat down, thought for a while, and tried to persuade him: "Cousin, I think you might as well follow suit, or else He Xichao didn't attack you this time, and when he comes back from the Western Regions, he won't let you go. It would be better to settle it once and for all. Since he said so, it must be written off and will not be pursued again. "

In fact, regardless of He Mingrui and Xiaoming himself, the matter of the Xishan paddock is like a thorn in his heart, if it is not removed as soon as possible, he will always be restless.

He Mingrui is his confidant, what if the emperor takes his anger out on him and thinks that he is also involved?

He Mingrui looked at the discouraged Xiao Ming, and couldn't help moving his lips, the light in his eyes dimmed.

"The emperor let you back so soon."

He Xichao was sitting on a small boat, holding a folding fan in his hand, opening it to cover the slightly hot sun, watching Xiao Hong suspiciously as he pushed away from the shore with the oar.

"How can it be so fast, I'm so anxious to wait! The old man did it on purpose. He knew that I would go out with you alone for fun, so he refused to let you go. I coaxed you for a long time before I could get away!"

Xiao Hong waited until the boat left the shore, then sat down and paddled into the water with the oar.

He Xichao sat upright, watched the boat slowly move forward with the waves, and said: "You are content, the emperor didn't reprimand you like this, his tolerance for you and me is beyond expectations."

"Hey, I can recite those words over and over again, and my father reckoned that the words are boring, anyway, he is not willing to do anything to us."

Seeing this man's confident appearance, He Xichao raised his head and looked at the lakeshore in the distance, his eyes darkened slightly, and he said in a low voice: "This little temptation is not enough, we have to test the emperor's bottom line before I go to the Western Regions."

Xiao Hong nodded and had no objection, he had always listened to He Xichao's advice on this matter, pointing out where to hit.

Now, he paddled vigorously.

This black-covered boat is not big, but the cabin can accommodate two people, and there is a small table in the middle, so it takes some effort to row.

However, Xiao Hong's strength was strong, and the boat sailed away from the shore smoothly.

"Where are we going?" He Xichao came back to his senses, but soon he was surprised, "You can really row a boat?"

Xiao Hong raised his chest and gave He Xichao a smug look: "Of course, who am I, your brother? I have been preparing for today for a long time."

He Xichao was busy, and he was not free either. It was not easy for the two of them to spare a leisurely afternoon.

How can Xiao Hong let the idlers squat beside him to block the eyes, even the boatman, he specially chose such a small boat, which has a deep meaning.

Apparently He Xichao also seemed to understand his intention, so he gave him a meaningful look and stopped asking.

The weather in early summer is not too hot, but the clothes are getting thinner, especially for Xiao Hong, whose sleeves are rolled up to his arms, revealing his strong and strong arms. Every time he exerts his strength, his muscles bulge slightly, which makes He Xichao's eyes warm .

After all, they are men, and if they really go out to swim in the lake, they have to carefully hide their feelings so that no one will find out.

So this lake is still in the prince's mansion. Fortunately, the prince's mansion in the feudal era was really quite big, and it was beautifully repaired.

He Xichao held a folding fan in one hand and propped his chin in the other, watching Xiao Hong paddling the oars, and said to himself that it doesn't matter where he goes, as long as he stays with this person.

I don't know whether it is a bad direction, or it is intentional, the small black-covered boat directly broke into a lotus cave.

Then it stopped.

Holding the oar, Xiao Hong pulled the oar twice, pretending to be distressed, and said: "Xi Chao, it seems that I can't get out."

He Xichao glanced around, and saw that the new lotus was already in full bloom, emerging gracefully from the water, with big lotus leaves and pointed buds, completely hiding the boat in this world.

Except for a round of sun above the head, there is no way to see the inside from the outside.

"Your level is too bad." Although He Xichao said so, the smile on his face became thicker, and there was a touch of anger in his words.

How could this little trick be fooled by him, but isn't it just for fun?

"Then I'll practice again next time." Xiao Hong said as he let go of the oar in his hand, propped it on the bow of the boat, then stood up, and walked step by step towards He Xichao who was sitting under the awning.

The boat is small and rocks easily.

He Xichao swayed slightly with the boat, but he didn't see any apprehension, instead he jokingly said: "You have to keep going, if the boat capsizes..."

Xiao Hong stared at him with scorching eyes, and didn't speak, but small flames shot up in his deep eyes, burning hotter and hotter.

The person finally arrived in front of He Xichao, he squatted down, his Adam's apple rolled obviously, and said, "Xi Chao, I've wanted to do this for a long time."

He Xichao blinked, and then this man came up... and kissed her.

He Xichao was stunned, that's it?

But before he could react, a more ferocious kiss followed.

Xiao Hong said in his heart while kissing, he is not stupid, he naturally sticks out his tongue.

The author has something to say: Xiao Hong: Am I stupid, such a good opportunity, of course I want to kiss enough!
