The king was wrong

"Wow, master! Did you draw this painting? It's really good! Uh, but, master, let me ask you, why... uh, you want to draw a portrait of yourself, and... you wear it Red clothes? You don't like red clothes the least..."

As soon as Wei Yanxi stepped into the door, she heard Meng Qi's fussy cry.

"The vermilion dyed the front skirt, and I couldn't do it, so I simply dyed it all red." Qi Yaoqing shook his head helplessly, "Besides, I didn't draw this portrait at first, I just added a stroke of it."

Meng Qi's eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she asked curiously: "Ah? Didn't the young master draw it? Who did it? Tsk tsk, could it be..."

"It was painted by the king."

Wei Yanxi stepped in at the right time.

"Ah, servants and servants see the lord!" Meng Qi hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted.

"I have seen..."

"Hey, Yaoqing, why bother to stick to these cumbersome etiquettes." Wei Yanxi quickly stepped forward to help Qi Yaoqing before he finished his salute, took him by the hand and led him to the desk to sit down, and subconsciously glanced at Qi Yaoqing. He turned to the portrait laid out on the table.

It was the painting he made for Qi Yaoqing a few days ago.

At that time, I hoped to make him smile with this, but I heard the news that he was poisoned and vomited blood before the painting was finished. Wei Yanxi remembered that her hand trembled at that time, and the ink brush fell directly on the painting, staining a piece of her clothes red, but it was no reason. Ruined a good painting.

Later, because while taking care of Qi Yaoqing's body, he wanted to thoroughly investigate the poisoning incident at the same time, even Wei Yanxi herself forgot that such a painting existed.

It's just that I didn't expect that when I saw it again today, this painting would be completed by Qi Yaoqing.

"Well, that's a nice drawing."

Wei Yanxi's brows and eyes could not help softening, and even the anger caused by what Liang Wei said before calmed down a lot.

"The red clothes are like fire, and the sleeves are fluttering. I wanted to paint a picture of your current appearance, but I didn't know that after going around, I returned to the Yanqiu Mountain ten years ago."

Wei Yanxi held Qi Yaoqing with one hand, couldn't help but gently put the other hand on the scroll, and gently stroked the beautiful face and red skirt of the person in the painting with her fingertips, as if she saw the squatting man through it again. The little seven sister who smiled at him in front of him, the little seven sister who has been deeply missed by him for ten years.

Of course, that is the person in front of you.

Crimson was once such a gorgeous and beautiful color.

A thought suddenly popped up in Wei Yanxi's mind, what would it be like if Qi Yaoqing put on that crimson dress again?

It should... be even better looking than he was ten years ago.

As soon as this idea had a little momentum in Wei Yanxi's mind, it grew uncontrollably. He found that he wanted to see Qi Yaoqing wearing scarlet clothes again, and even the Qi Yaoqing in his eyes was already dyed Crimson.

How he wished that one day, he could see his Yaoqing wearing scarlet clothes again.

And he also swore that in this life, he would see Qi Yaoqing wear the scarlet robe again, only once, and completely for him.

Feeling the hotness of his eyes, Qi Yaoqing moved around uncomfortably, not understanding what Wei Yanxi was trying to do.

"My lord, what's the matter?" He called tentatively.

"Ah... ah?"

Hearing this, Wei Yanxi blinked her eyes, her expression froze, and when she finally regained her senses, she smiled apologetically at Qi Yao: "No, it's nothing, I just can't help but think of ten years ago, when you appeared in my sight like this Yes. After ten years, I finally... can hold you in my arms."

Hearing what he said, Qi Yaoqing's expression softened a lot, as if he also remembered what happened ten years ago.

At that time, Wei Yanxi was still a half-grown boy, and she was only two years older than him.

Time really flies, and in the blink of an eye, the little boys from that year have grown taller and stronger than him...

The room was quiet, as if time had stood still, and the years had cast mottled marks on the two of them, which could not be wiped away.

"By the way, Yaoqing, how are you feeling today? Does your stomach still feel bad?" After a pause, Wei Yanxi suddenly remembered the purpose of her trip.

"Well, it's much better, and I'm worried about you." Qi Yaoqing nodded slightly and replied.

"Ah, that's good, that's good." Wei Yanxi heaved a sigh of relief, nodded, his eyes drifted to the table involuntarily, and lost his mind at the person in the painting staring at him and smiling slightly.But after a while, he suddenly turned his face away as if thinking of something.

"Oh, by the way, and, I heard from Liang Wei that you went to Wu Ranyue's place today, why, but what happened?"

Wei Yanxi asked casually, but Qi Yaoqing couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this.If he remembers correctly, it seems that he just came back from Wu Ranyue not long ago, how did Wei Yanxi know so soon?

It seems that the intelligence network of Prince Yong's Mansion is really not to be underestimated, and I don't know how many people Wei Yanxi has privately ordered to keep an eye on his activities.

However, although the process from being ignored to attracting attention jumped a little fast, Qi Yaoqing felt a faint warmth in his heart.He knew that the purpose of Wei Yanxi's sending people to watch him closely was to prevent him from being tricked by others, and he would follow the tricks of villains in vain.

This kind of thoughtfulness and cherishment is really commendable.

"Well, my lord, I did go to Wang Ji's place this afternoon."

Qi Yaoqing hadn't planned to hide this matter from Wei Yanxi at first, so since he asked now, he didn't want to hide it anymore.

"I thought, thanks to Wang Ji's telling me about the camphor last time, otherwise I might not have escaped that catastrophe, so let Meng Qi accompany me to visit Wang Ji's courtyard today, I should thank you."

Wei Yanxi had heard Qi Yaoqing talk about Wu Ranyue's side-talking and Qi Yaoqing's replacement of camphor before, so it wasn't surprising to hear that he was going to thank him now.only……

"Why do you thank her, she is... not going anywhere clean."

Wei Yanxi frowned uncontrollably, and a gloomy look flashed across her eyes.He remembered clearly what Liang Wei reported to him before coming here. The owner of Jisheng Pharmacy said that the person who ordered the medicine was from the Jinghe Gold Shop in the north of Kyoto, because all the clerks in this gold shop would wear it on their waists. A small white ring-shaped jade pendant was used as a marker, and the daughter-in-law of the pharmacy shopkeeper had just gone to Jinghe Jinpu to give her newborn son a longevity lock, so she recognized it at a glance.

Jinghe Gold Shop is not a well-known gold shop, but Liang Wei still found out after some tips. This gold shop belongs to the He family of Wu Ranyue's mother.

Once the owner is found out, everything can be deduced slowly.

Therefore, I'm afraid it's not just camphor, even the killer who killed Qin's mother in the end has something to do with Wu Ranyue.

Just thinking of Qin Ma, Wei Yanxi couldn't help but feel a little headache again.

The mystery of Qin Ma's identity has not yet been solved. Although she yelled Xue Hanxue's name before she died, based on the current evidence, it seems that Wu Ranyue is more suspicious.That being the case, what is it that made Qin's mother misunderstand Xue Hanxue and think that she was killed by Xue Hanxue?

It has to be said that Mother Qin was the key person in this matter. Once she died, many clues were cut off.This is really annoying.

"What is your lord worrying about?" Qi Yaoqing couldn't help asking when he saw that Wei Yanxi had just said a few words to him and then returned to silence, standing there sullenly, with eyes not knowing where to look. sentence.

"Ah, no..."

Hearing the sound, Wei Yanxi came back to her senses, met Qi Yaoqing's worried eyes, forced a smile, and waved her hand.

Yaoqing has already suffered enough from the poisoning, there is no need to add more troubles to him, let him do the time-consuming and labor-intensive task of finding out the real perpetrator.

Wei Yanxi's thinking like this is naturally for the good of Qi Yaoqing, but he didn't consider that this princess of his own is not a soft persimmon who just knows how to grit her teeth and endure that she won't fight back.

Just like what Zhu Yaozi said before, a man has to be a bit bloody, how can he just be a coward after being bullied to the top?

After talking about Wu Ranyue, the two casually chatted about other unimportant things. Seeing that it was almost evening, Wei Yanxi stayed in the room to finish dinner with Qi Yaoqing, and then told him to take care of himself for a long time. Only then reluctantly left the main house and returned to the study.

Watching Wei Yanxi go away, Qi Yaoqing turned his eyes back into the room, waved to Meng Han who hurried back from the door, and asked: "What, did you get out of the way?"

Meng Han nodded, "Well, young master, Liang Shiwei said that he ran for a day today, took the little steel ball that the prince found in the teapot last time, ran to several pharmacies, and finally found the source at the Jisheng pharmacy in the west of the city. .Not only the camphor, but even the dick in the dim sum are from his family.”

Immediately afterwards, Menghan recounted Liang Wei's answer to her to Qi Yaoqing, adding the information Qi Yaoqing got from Wu Ranyue today as an aid, so that in the end Qi Yaoqing's information was better than Wei Yanxi's. more.

So just like this, the information that the prince worked so hard to hide from the princess was completely shaken out by his brainless guard Liang.And His Royal Highness Prince Yong seems to be completely unaware of this...

Only by slowly digging out hidden clues one after another can the final truth be found.

In the following days, Qi Yaoqing lived in seclusion every day, and spent most of his time in the main courtyard, either reading and writing, or lying on the rocking chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun, resting his body, but he was at ease .And Wei Yanxi would come to accompany him for dinner every night, and it was unshakable, and it became a habit over time.

I thought that life would go on peacefully like this, until the real killer was found, but it was early in the morning, Wei Yanxi had just stepped out of the courtyard gate to go up to court, and the empress wanted Qi Yaoqing to meet her in the palace Then he went down to Prince Yong's Mansion.
