Shanhe Wanli'an

On the outskirts of Nancheng, the small village where Xie Wanyi hides.

Xie Wanyi sat by the window and stared at the birdcage hanging above the window.

The canary was lying sleepily in the cage, its thin body trembling from time to time, and the food and water in the small bowl in the cage did not decrease.

"Why don't you eat it?" Xie Wanyi looked at Que'er worriedly. Her long white and slender fingertips held a small stick, dipped food and water into Que'er's beak. Que'er closed her eyes and remained motionless. She sighed, "If you don't eat, you will die."

"You let it go."

An extremely cold voice sounded in the house.

Xie Wanyi looked at Que'er and laughed, with tears in her eyes: "It has been with me for 12 years, if I let it go, where can it go?"

"Can you survive?" the man asked again.

Xie Wanyi turned her eyes and followed the sound, only to see a man in black sitting on a chair, his brows and eyes were cold, like ice and snow that never melted in an extremely cold place.

Xie Wanyi asked seriously: "What about you, can you survive?"

The man in black was silent.

Xie Wanyi teased Que'er again: "I hope you can survive and be with him."

The man in black was hesitant to speak, but suddenly he stood up and walked to the inner room, closing the door instantly.

He moved so quickly that he didn't even notice that something had fallen on him.

Xie Wanyi didn't respond to his movements at all, she continued to tease the bird, as if? She wanted to help it regain some vitality.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a carriage stopped not far from the window, and a person got off from the carriage, and that person was walking towards her house.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

Xie Wanyi put down the stick, stood up, walked to the bronze mirror to tidy up her clothes, make up her hair, nodded in satisfaction, then walked to the door, took a few deep breaths, and then gained the strength to open the door.

She opened the door, and the man's tall and thin body appeared in front of her eyes.

The next moment, the man took out a small red wooden horse from his arms, which made her eyes blush.

"Sister, I gave you the little red wooden horse. Can you stop playing hide-and-seek? I don't like this game."

Xie Wanyi lowered her head, shrugged her shoulders, and tears poured out of her eyes like the Yellow River bursting its embankment. She tightly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, restraining herself from making a sound, but she still refused to take the little red wooden horse in the man's hand .

Xie Xian looked down at her, unable to bear it in his heart, after a while he put the little red wooden horse back into his arms, and said softly, "Forget it, I'll put it away for Elder Sister, and Elder Sister can take it back at any time."

Xie Wanyi covered her mouth and nodded.

Xie Xian felt blocked in his heart, but? He still raised a smile: "Could it be that sister? Is? Want to stand? Here with me to reminisce about the old days?"

"Come in quickly." Xie Wanyi heard the words and realized it. She wiped away the tears on her face with a handkerchief. Just one click."

"It's okay." Xie Xian walked to the chair where the man in black was sitting, and was just about to sit down when he found a string of white jade Buddha beads bracelets by his feet. He bent down and picked them up.

Xie Wanyi was a little shocked looking at the string of Buddhist beads, and after being shocked, she closed her eyes helplessly. The sadness just now was wiped away.

She really couldn't bear to look at the string of Buddhist beads, but the next moment she saw Xie Xian put the beads into his pocket naturally, confused.

Xie Wanyi hurriedly said, "Xiaoxian!"

"Sister, what's the matter?" Xie Xian raised his eyes to look at her, without the slightest bit of guilt for taking something that he shouldn't have, just as it was taken for granted that the Buddha belonged to him.

Xie Wanyi pointed to the Buddhist beads in his pocket: "That's? My bracelet."

"I know? But? Sister, can't you give me a gift? I like this." Xie Xian looked at Xie Wanyi, his eyes were reddish, aggrieved, "We haven't seen each other for so many years..."

Xie Wanyi: "..." Isn't my younger brother? My younger brother...

In the end, the white jade Buddha bead bracelet fell into Xie Xian's hands. He rubbed the white jade Buddha beads with his fingertips in a place Xie Wanyi couldn't notice, with a meaningful smile on his face.

Xie Wanyi made a pot of tea and poured him a cup, feeling a little apprehensive: "Why didn't you ask me why I didn't die, and what happened back then?"

Xie Xian took a sip of tea, looked at Xie Wanyi with a happy expression, "I went to Sister's door yesterday, but I don't have the courage to see you."

"I have the courage today. On the road, I also have a lot of problems, but when I see my sister, I will be fine. The previous things suddenly become unimportant. What is important now is my sister. You're still alive, you're back, that's enough."

Xie Xian put down his teacup, looked at Xie Wanyi with gratitude, and opened his mouth extremely seriously: "I'm afraid this is a dream, an illusion that the Buddha took pity on me, so, sister, please live."

As soon as Xie gossip finished, he was hugged into an embrace, a strange yet familiar embrace.

Xie Xian hugged back greedily, and a sigh came from his ear.

"Hey, you have suffered so much these years, are your parents here? The spirit of heaven must be proud of you."

An hour later, Xie Xian left Xie Wanyi's hut.

Xie Wanyi sat by the window, staring at the carriage that Xie Xian left, in a daze.

The man in black came out from the inner room, his eyes fell on the white jade beads bracelet on the chair.

Xie Xian still? Didn't take it away.

He walked over to pick up the bracelet, and touched the beads with his fingertips, he was slightly taken aback, the beads were still warm.

The frost between his eyebrows slowly melted away like a spring breeze, and the fingertips holding the Buddhist beads tightened, and there was a faint smile on his handsome face.

After putting away the prayer beads, he looked at Xie Wanyi: "You have heard all his wishes."

"Hmm." Xie Wanyi nodded mechanically.

In an instant, the frost that had just melted off his body froze again: "You still? Haven't changed your mind?"

As soon as Xie Xian returned to the mansion, he was summoned into the palace by Emperor Liang's order.

When he entered the Chengqian Palace, he saw Emperor Liang sitting in front of the book case reviewing the memorials, and his three sons standing next to him, giving their opinions from time to time.

Xie Xian couldn't help sneering, slandering in his heart: what a loving father and son? Filial piety, respectful brother and friend.

Seeing Xie Xian, Emperor Liang waved and smiled, "Yanzhi is here, come quickly."

Xie Xian bowed his head slightly at a distance of three or four feet in front of the desk, "All blessings, Your Majesty."

"Look at these." Emperor Liang put down the ink pen in his hand, and handed a stack of memorials to Supervisor Fuyan.

Xie Xian took the memorial from Supervisor Fuyan, opened it and read it.

"These are the censors' impeachment of the Marquis of Guannei." Emperor Liang leaned his elbows on the desk, crossed his fingers against his chin, and observed Xie Xian's expression, "What do you think?"

Xie Xian closed the memorial and handed it back to Superintendent Fuyan, and then opened his mouth: "Collaboration with the enemy and treason is a serious crime. If there is no solid evidence, otherwise I would not dare to criticize myself."

"This is the letter between him and the new emperor of Dongqi that was found in the Marquis' Mansion in Guannei." Emperor Liang raised his chin to Fuyan.

Xie Xian took the envelope and opened it, and a jade pendant slipped into his hand. The jade pendant was engraved with the unique rose totem of the Eastern Qi royal family.

Xie Xian laughed after reading it.

Emperor Liang frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

Xie Xian returned the letter to Superintendent Fuyan, and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, there is a letter exactly like this one in the minister's mansion."

Emperor Liang narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Oh?"

Xie Xian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand. When the minister received the letter, he thought it was some kind of prank, so he didn't take it to heart. I didn't expect the Marquis of Guannei to receive the letter."

Emperor Liang said: "Since this is the case, is Yanzhi not interested in the conditions in this letter?"

Xie Xian held his head high and held his chest high: "Your Majesty, what is the condition given in the letter? It is too exciting, and it will make the ministers doubt the authenticity of it. There is no prince from that country? He would sell his own national interests to the military ministers of other countries. Seek support, even if you seek support from other countries, you should ask for help from the king of other countries..."

As he spoke, Xie Xian fell into thinking: "Why didn't the new emperor of Dongqi ask His Majesty for help? Could it be? Yes? Your Majesty has another candidate for the heir to the Eastern Qi throne, so...?"

Emperor Liang coughed twice in embarrassment.

Xie Xian smiled and said: "In any case, in my opinion, a letter does not prove that the Marquis of Guannei has been accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason."

Emperor Liang thought for a while, and slowly opened his mouth: "What does Yan Zhi mean? Is the Marquis of Guan Nei wronged?"

Xie Xian shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, any troubles are nothing? It's groundless, I can only say that Your Majesty needs to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Emperor Liang was a little excited: "There is not enough time, Guan Neihou has already led the Xuanwu army to the capital! He turned against him!"

Wang An, who was standing by the side, couldn't help opening his mouth: "Father, the Marquis of Guan Nei is only on the side of Qing Jun, and he is not against him."

"Fart!" Emperor Liang cursed directly, "The side of Lord Qing? Is there beside me? Are there any monsters and ghosts that need him to clean up?! Reverse is? Reverse! Why do you use the name Qingjun?! And you! I can’t handle any of these things! I’ve raised you for so many years, and I can handle this one thing I’ve entrusted to you, so what’s the use of raising you?!”

King An's face was red when he was scolded, and he didn't dare to say a word.

King Yu and Chu Jingxing looked at each other face to face, not knowing at all what Emperor Liang and King An were saying, and they didn't dare to say more.

Emperor Liang and King An are playing charades, but Xie Xian is very clear in his heart, he knows that what Emperor Liang scolded King An was for letting the sixth prince of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, Gu Xingjian, succeed in winning the heir apparent, but it was unfortunate that their The plan fell through.

Emperor Liang was so angry that he began to cough violently. At this time, only Superintendent Fuyan dared to export and persuaded him.

"Your Majesty, calm down, it's important to take care of the dragon's body."

"Father, there is something I don't know what to do? Inappropriate? Tell me..."

Everyone looked at Chu Jingxing, didn't they know? What could he say at this time.

Emperor Liang let out a "hmm".

"Actually..." Chu Jingxing looked at the others and opened his mouth with difficulty, "My son also received the same letter..."

Emperor Liang was furious: "What?!"

Xie Xian closed his eyes? Take a deep breath.

Chu Jingxing walked quickly to the desk and knelt down: "Father, please calm down. My son did not respond to this letter. My son said at this time, is it? I have a guess. What if? Guannei Hou and Zhen Guohou both received the same letter." The letter, is that? Isn’t it? The two imperial brothers also received it..."

Emperor Liang suddenly looked at King An and King Yu.

King An and Yuwang quickly knelt down and exclaimed: "I did receive the letter, but I didn't reply! I hope the emperor will find out!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Emperor Liang had already gone through several twists and turns in his heart.

His three sons? He knew that he would definitely not do anything to collude with the enemy and treason the country, but it was really hard to say about Yi Siwang...

After all, how did Yi Siwang get to his current position? He always remembered it.

Greed...

Emperor Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, and the danger was revealed in his eyes.

"Get up." Emperor Liang waved his hands, and then looked at Xie Xian, "Yanzhi, he wants Qing Jun to side, tell me, what should we do?"

Xie Xian frowned: "The Marquis of Guannei would say this, presumably? His angry words..."

"Is he still angry? I didn't let Huang Xie strangle him on the spot. I'm giving him face! He still dares to be angry?" Xie was interrupted by Emperor Liang before finishing his gossip.

Xie Xian has already rolled his eyes countless times in his heart. How could the late emperor pass the seat to him? !

Emperor Liang said: "Xie Xian, tomorrow you will lead the Xuan Ce army to stop Yi Sihuang outside the capital, and don't let him enter the city! If you can strangle him on the spot!"

Xie Xian: "???"

How is this different from what he arranged?Is this person crazy when he's about to die?

Xie Xian tried to save him: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is? Your Longevity Day. If you start killing, it may affect you. Your Majesty three..."

"What are you afraid of! I am the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and I have the aura of a real dragon to protect my body, so I am afraid of this bit of blood?"

Xie Xian smiled in his heart.

If it is possible, he really wants to bring all the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital over to show this man's brain? If there is no problem, why is he crazy?
