after i found out my new wife was a man

At the same time, Xie Lingyu had already bid farewell to Xu Yaoling, and was sitting in the carriage returning home, staring at the curtains blown by the night wind in a daze.

Since he came back from the palace that day, he has been thinking about certain things, the emperor's inexplicable attitude and the coercion in his words, the hidden meaning behind it, and of course... the words of the Queen Mother.

The newlywed wife who I thought was a good match turned out to be a man, and she was designed and oppressed to have to marry. She couldn't and couldn't tell outsiders, so she could only bear it helplessly. Anyone who put this kind of thing on her would feel resentful and resentful , but no matter what, he couldn't express even the slightest bit of resentment towards the other party.

Because he only glimpsed a corner of He Yaoqing's past through a few words from others, and already felt frightened, how could he vent his anger?

Even when seeing that person and thinking of his past, he couldn't help wanting to be nice to him, but Xie Ling and he had never done such a thing in this life, and they didn't know exactly what to do. Re also snatched the younger brother's candy, which was extremely clumsy.

It was really like a coincidence, why did I do such a thing.

Xie Lingyu closed his eyes lightly, and the peach blossoms in the Shanquan Temple that day flashed before his eyes, and finally heaved a sigh.

It's a pity, the world is impermanent, but it's just like this.

The carriage stopped, Xie Linghe lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. The hem of his robe was blown by the sweltering night wind, and he walked all the way to Ling'an Garden. Because of He Yaoqing, Ling'an Garden never left attendants at night. So it was very quiet.

He looked at the sky again, guessing that the person in the room would have already fallen asleep at this time, and he was afraid of disturbing that person, so he opened the door cautiously.

But he never expected that there was still a dim yellow lamp burning in the room, and the figure with his back facing him under the lamp, and the figure who suddenly turned his head when he heard the sound, was of course He Yaoqing!

Xie Ling and the hand holding the door suddenly paused, even though they had already been mentally prepared, but seeing this scene with their own eyes, their minds were still blank.

He bit the tip of his tongue, and the slight tingling brought him back to his senses. The hand holding on to the door was tight and tight, and it took a long time before he turned around and closed the door.

Instead, he went directly into the study room. Xie Linghe walked to the desk, opened the hidden compartment under it, took out the wound medicine he had bought himself a few days ago, hesitated for a while, and picked up the little leftover candied fruit.

Seeing that He Yaoqing was still sitting there with his head down, without even changing his posture, Xie Lingyu walked in front of him, and the man's crow-green hair hung down to his waist, and his brows and eyes were still full of thick lines. Thick, but the enveloping gloom is lingering, reflecting the dancing candlelight, it can give people a thrilling feeling.

Xie Linghe bent down, put the wound medicine and candied fruit into his hands, and gently pulled the carving knife away.

This is what you really look like, right?Helplessly weak and docile, the gloomy pain born under it is like a gangrene, which cannot be eliminated. It seeps into the air like a ghost like a shadow, and cannot get rid of it. The barely covered surface is already riddled with holes.

Are you sad all the time?Xie Lingyu hesitantly stretched out his hand to caress He Yaoqing's long hair, even he didn't realize that his hand was trembling slightly.

He couldn't see He Yaoqing's expression clearly, but he figured that it would be the best choice to leave all the space for this person now, and this person would definitely not want to be seen like this by others, right?Thinking of this, he gently withdrew his hand, turned around and returned to the study.

Since He Yaoqing moved in, he has been resting in the study at night. Xie Lingyu stood in front of the desk for a while, put down the carving knife in his hand, and poured himself a cup of tea.

The entrance was cool, he turned over and sat on the window sill, staring at the distant eaves in a daze.

The two lived together and faced each other day and night. He knew that it would be a matter of time before he ran into these things, and he even prepared the wound medicine for backup, but seeing it with his own eyes tonight was still shocking.

Why on earth could the emperor do such a thing?No matter what He Yaoqing said, it was his first child, how could he do it, wouldn't he feel distressed?Xie Lingyu not only couldn't accept those reasons, but even felt it was weird.

It stands to reason that after a while, he should go out to see He Yaoqing again.

But since he was a child, he knew that he was the son of the Xie family first, the one who would take care of the Xie family in the future, and then Xie Lingyu, so he was doomed not to do what he wanted, and he had to put the interests of the whole family first in everything.

Not to mention the fact that this matter smacks of conspiracy from beginning to end.

He even thought about telling his father directly, but on the one hand, the emperor's warning and beating still lingered in his ears, which made him dare not take risks for a while, and could only rely on his own private investigation to figure it out; on the other hand...

Xie Lingyu tightly closed his eyes, trying his best to ignore the soreness in his heart, but He Yaoqing's face appeared in front of his eyes again.He shook his head vigorously. No matter what he thought in his heart, he would definitely fulfill his duties as the eldest son when things became uncontrollable.

As for He Yaoqing, as the carrier of the conspiracy, it is difficult to determine whether he is involved in it or not. What he did just now is already doing his best, and it is better not to get too involved in other things.

Xie Linghe thought this way in his heart, but his hands became tighter and tighter, his fingertips turned white with force, and his heart felt empty, but he didn't know why.

Suddenly, a faint sound came from outside the study room. The slight sound fell in Xie Linghe's ears, but it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, causing his whole body to shake violently.

To be honest, the voice was really hoarse and unpleasant, it was more like crying than laughing, but Xie Lingyu didn't think so at all, just felt as if an invisible hand grabbed his heart and clenched it tightly , he walked over to pick up the carving knife on the table just now, the remaining blood on it seemed to sting his eyes.

This blood is real, so is the pain of the people outside the door, and those unspeakable and unimaginable experiences are also real.

The most innocent... the most innocent person, shouldn't it be him? !

Xie Lingyu stared at the blood, and slapped himself hard for a long time.

Wishful thinking about others, willing to be indifferent, because of fear of escaping, only greedy for a moment of comfort, should not be the actions of a gentleman, when did I become like this?

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if that person is indeed inseparable in the end, has he discovered anything now?What's more, that person really doesn't look like he has anything to do with it. To speculate on things that have never happened with the dirtiest mind is simply the most disdainful look for him.

At least... don't let yourself regret it later.

Xie Linghe put down the carving knife and walked to the door, took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

The previous chapter was slightly changed yesterday afternoon (because there was a cute little reaction that I didn’t quite understand), interested little ones can look back~

In the future, the author will try his best to avoid such things from happening, and strive to be the first and last time, sorry sorry!
