I was a salted fish in ancient times

On the way back, Xie Zhui glanced at Xiao Shan from time to time, he still had no expression on his face, but the entangled look in his eyes gave him away.

He obviously took the matter of Xiao Shan lighting the ever-burning lamp for him to heart, and was a little worried.It's just because of his dull personality and he didn't know whether Xiao Shan would like to bring up these past events, so he hesitated, not knowing whether to ask or how to ask.

They are a close couple, but at the same time they are relatively strangers.

Once again catching Xie Zhui's gaze, Xiao Shan put his elbows on his bent legs and propped his chin with his hands: "If you have anything to say, just ask, I'll never stop talking."

Xie Zhui was slightly taken aback, and then his face became calm.He is not a person who is too twitchy, since Xiao Shan opened his mouth and looked like he was waiting for him to ask, then there is no need for him to be entangled.

So he said bluntly: "Why did the prince light the eternal lamp for himself?" This kind of thing doesn't sound very auspicious.

Xiao Shan blinked those beautiful eyes, showing a thoughtful attitude: "Let me think about it, it seems that when I was a child, I was six years old but not seven years old. That winter when I was playing in the Imperial Garden, I fell into the In the lake, although I was rescued by my second brother and others, my fever persisted. The imperial doctor who treated me said that I was powerless and sentenced me to death. All the imperial physicians from the hospital came to treat me. Of course, there are also reasons why I was so desperate. After having a high fever for four or five days, I managed to get over it, and my brain was not burnt out."

"Probably after a life-and-death catastrophe that I didn't understand, I felt that it was not easy to get my life back, so I lit a long-burning lamp for myself at Antai Temple, thinking that Changming Changming is Changming. Fate." Xu thought of the past, Xiao Shan lowered his eyes and smiled: "At that time, I was young and ignorant and didn't think so much. When I grew up, I let it go. After all, everything was ordered, and the money was also donated. Quite a lot, and it’s not easy to cross the river and tear down the bridge to put it out.”

After hearing this, Xie Zhui groaned for a long time and choked out a sentence: "My lord has a lenient heart, which is beyond human reach." Also, can crossing a river and demolishing bridges be used in this way?Did he bully him for reading less?

Xiao Shan raised his eyebrows with a smug expression: "That's right, my king has always been magnanimous and peaceful, and others can't match even if they have two hearts."

Xie Zhui: "..." It is true that he has little reading and experience, and this is the first time he has heard these fresh metaphors from Xiao Shan.He was sorry for the miscellaneous books he had passed countless times in Xie's house.

Seeing Xie Zhui's appearance, Xiao Shan had a smile in his eyes, and he took the initiative to change the subject: "You lived in the capital when you were young, do you think the capital has changed?"

Xie Zhui thought about it seriously, and said honestly, "There are more people than before. I don't remember the others clearly, so I can't compare them."

He was telling the truth, and he really didn't have a deep impression of the capital.

He and Xie Chen went to the northern border with Xie Sui when they were about seven years old. The northern border was bitterly cold, the people were tough, and there were endless wars.They were not used to it at first, but gradually got used to it.

For him, the prosperity of the capital is far more than a family together.

The capital in memory was also buried by the sandstorm on the border.

Xiao Shan hummed lightly, if he only faced his lord, he could say that it was okay, there would be plenty of time in the future to compare the differences between the capital and the past.But to an eagle whose wings have been cut off, these words are equivalent to an invisible but extremely sharp knife.

Xie Zhui was the general of the northern border first, and then his king.

Xie Zhui has seen a world wider than a deep house. He has gained freedom, power and respect from others, but now he has lost these because of his status.But he didn't complain about others, and he has even been trying to adapt to life and find his own place to live.

Xiao Shan can't become that kind of person, but it doesn't mean he doesn't like such a person.

On the contrary, he admired such a person in his heart.

Therefore, he will do his best to protect Xie Zhui.

The two chatted with each other one sentence at a time, and soon returned to the palace.Xie Zhui had one thing on his mind, and Xiao Shan was also in a good mood.

I thought this day would be as calm as usual, but within an hour, Concubine Lan sent someone to report that Xiao Jin had been poisoned and passed out, and the concubine was frightened.

Xiao Shan's expression changed after hearing this, he stood up and said to Xie Zhui: "I am entering the palace now, you stay at home and don't go anywhere."

Xie Zhui stood up with a solemn expression: "Then be careful."

The poisoning of the crown prince is by no means a trivial matter, and if it fails, a large number of people will be implicated, especially the concubine and prince.

Xiao Shan said: "Don't worry, it's fine."

Xie Zhui nodded, looking at the back of Xiao Shan leaving in a hurry, he suddenly thought of what Xiao Shan said on the way back. When he fell into the water, Prince Xiao Jin saved him.

Xiao Shan was said by the world to act absurdly and be naughty, but after getting along with him these few days, he knew that Xiao Shan was not a foolish person.Because of his status, he doesn't like to be angry, so he likes to say things that others don't listen to, but he has never vented his anger on innocent people, and he has never done anything harmful.

Such a person at least has clear grievances and grievances, so he is sincere to Prince Xiao Jin.

He has never called Xiao Jin the prince, because he regards Xiao Jin as his elder brother, and he has always been an elder brother.

Xie Zhui also knows that people's hearts are unpredictable, especially in the royal family, it's not surprising that he has a few eyes, what he sees may not be true.But based on his intuition, he believed that Xiao Shan had no ambiguity towards Prince Xiao Jin.

***

What Xie Zhui was thinking Xiao Shan didn't know, he entered the palace with the token and went straight to the East Palace.

Because of Xiao Jin's poisoning, the Imperial Forest Army stepped up inspections in various places, and the surrounding area of ​​the East Palace was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army so that even a fly could not fly in.

When Xiao Shan arrived, Emperor Xiao Sheng, Empress, Concubine Lan, Concubine Xian, mother of Fifth Prince Xiao Xian, and Princess Rui among the juniors were there.

The eldest prince Xiao Rong, the fourth prince Xiao Yi and the fifth prince Xiao Xian arrived half a stick earlier than him.

These princes should have stayed at their residence to wait for the news about this matter, mainly because Princess Rui was in the East Palace, so Xiao Rong had no choice but to come.

He was also afraid of being caught in this troublesome matter. After entering the palace, he happened to meet Xiao Yi, who was reciting poems and painting in the imperial garden, and Xiao Xian, who was watching Xiao Yi reciting poems and paintings. Xiao Rong hurriedly told them about Xiao Jin's poisoning and coma Then, before the two of them could react, they used the slogan that they and Xiao Jin were good brothers, and dragged them to the East Palace to visit Xiao Jin.

Standing together, he doesn't look so obtrusive anymore.

At this time Xiao Sheng, the Empress and Concubine Xian were sitting in the upper positions, Princess Rui Gu Linglong was standing there awkwardly, Concubine Lan was kneeling on the ground and crying so hard that she was out of breath and couldn't stop.

Lan Fei's eyes were swollen from crying, and her chest heaved even more, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

As soon as Xiao Shan came, everyone's eyes fell on him. Concubine Lan wanted to purse her lips and not cry, but she couldn't stop her tears no matter what, so she could only whimper.

Xiao Shan first knelt down to pay his respects, and then looked at Concubine Lan with two sharp eyes: "Mother Concubine, what's wrong?"

Concubine Lan was choked by her crying, and she continued intermittently: "The imperial doctor...the imperial doctor said that the prince...the prince was poisoned by eating the pastries I gave me...but...but I didn't poison him, I personally make pastries for the Crown Princess every day for Cuishu to deliver, and nothing has happened to me, and I don’t know how it happened today.”

After saying this, she sniffled her nose, looked at Emperor Xiao Sheng and Empress Gu Ruya pitifully with misty eyes, "What I said is true, don't you believe it."

Xiao Shan grinned like a toothache, with a word of "fucking" floating on his face, and said in his heart, your words have hammered yourself to death, how can others believe it?There is no evidence in hand to prove his innocence, so it is of no use to say that I did not do it.

If it were him, he wouldn't believe it either.

Besides, even if this kind of thing is really investigated, it may not be able to wash away the suspicion.
