the one who lives in my body

The next morning, I couldn't get up early.

Vaguely, I only know that Xie Dongrong got up and left. Before he left, he seemed to leave a kiss on my forehead and on my lips, but because I didn't know how to face it, I chose to close my eyes and remain silent.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw my mother with slightly red eye sockets.

Sitting up, I only felt drowsy, and after realizing that this is a ward, I smiled to myself, obviously I was not sick, but in the end I woke up from this place like a sick person.

"Dongrong left a note for you..." Mom's voice was not loud, and the gesture of handing it over was quite trembling. I don't know what she was afraid of, maybe she felt embarrassed just like me.

Xie Dongrong's handwriting is still so recognizable——

"Thank you for your willingness to come back. I'm much better. I've been too busy recently. The delay these days is fatal. An Boyan has already returned to the capital against the Queen's order. I have to see him. I'm sorry I can't stay long. After I wake up, I think a lot , First of all, I am ashamed of my gaffe, but I am sincere in every sentence, and I am absolutely not lying.

Regarding our matter, I would like to talk about it in detail after this period of time. My mother... I'm afraid you will be embarrassed, I have already asked her to leave. If you think my problem has been resolved, you can go back to Nancheng first.

Many things have happened, and it may not be safe to meet me. If you are willing to stay in the capital and feel that you have no place to live, you can go to my house temporarily. I have entered your information, and the door lock has been opened for you. You You can move in at any time. I don’t have time to go home. You can rest assured. If you want to know about my situation, you can also contact me by email. Although the reply may not be timely, I will read every item.

I am still fine, if you are worried, please think of me more. "

It’s hard to imagine that this is what Xie Dongrong would say. I stared at the letter in my hand. For a while, I didn’t know how to feel. My mother also sat by the bed silently. Finally, I gently put down my hand and asked her: “Now everyone knows right?"

"Yes, Wenyan still blames me..." She smiled, which was not a funny joke to me.

"The princess originally planned to stay until you woke up, but Dongrong was afraid that she would talk too much, so she dragged her away, and Namin's condition is not very good recently...she told you not to blame her."

Is there anything strange about this?I don't think I'm a big man who needs to be supported by others, but the "facts" of today have made me a little confused about how to face the princess.

"What happened to Namin recently?" I sat up straight and straightened my face.

"The people in the palace have surrounded Naming, guarding them all night, and taking turns to investigate. The queen may be a little suspicious..." As if afraid that she might say something wrong, the mother glanced around slightly, "I plan to make a move."

"Isn't Tao Wenyan on good terms with the queen? Didn't he say he wanted to help Naming earlier? What about others now?" The corners of my lips curled up, and my tone was all ironic.

Hearing the meaning of my words, my mother's face turned pale, "Wen Yan is also actively clearing up the relationship. The past few days because of Dong Rong's incident, I haven't slept well..."

Yeah?Tao Wenyan is not like that kind of person.

The situation of Naming also worries me, in my mind, it is considered half of the family, not to mention the princess has always been so kind to me, and the general can be regarded as tolerant... "Is there anything I can do?" I asked. ask.

"Actually, if you marry Dongrong, it will be a lot more legitimate for the Tao family to help Naming." After speaking, my mother looked up at my expression, as if she had made up her mind, and added: "Dongrong's father and princess That's what it means."

I was silent, and I couldn't believe the one-sided words of Tao Wenyan represented by my mother. Although Xie Dongrong's crisis has been resolved now, I seem to have lost the reason to stay in the capital for the time being, but... I think I still have to stay. it's here.

In the note, the proposal to live at Xie Dongrong's house is impossible to accept. My mother originally suggested that I live at Tao's house first, but I also refused. After parting ways with her, I randomly found a hotel and tried to contact her first. An Jingtong.

"Brother Shu." It sounds like An Jingtong's condition is not very good, too... After all, he has such a close relationship with the First Prince.

"I heard that the eldest prince has returned to the capital?" I asked tentatively.

An Jingtong was silent for a moment, "No, he didn't come back."

"is it?"

"How did Brother Shu know?"

"Someone told me."

"...Is it Xie Dongrong?"

"Ah."

The other end was silent again, for a long time, perhaps after finishing the psychological construction, An Jingtong said: "I met him last night."

"Eldest prince?" I sighed secretly, the current situation has forced An Jingtong to learn to lie to me.

"Ah."

Realizing that the next topic will be very sensitive, for a moment, I don't know how to speak.

"Brother Shu," An Jingtong obviously had the same predicament as me, "That..." It seemed difficult to speak, An Jingtong's voice was very low.

"Say it, I'm on your side."

"He showed me a set of photos." An Jingtong paused, "Let's come out and talk about it."

"There are no restrictions in the palace?"

"No, I'm out to live."

It is probably the eldest prince's arrangement. Indeed, in An Jingtong's capacity, it would be too dangerous to stay in the palace.

I directly asked An Jingtong to come to this hotel.

·

He stood in front of me, carrying a schoolbag, looking like a student.

I told him to sit down, and he sat on a stool indoors with his schoolbag on his lap.

"Is there anything you want to show me?"

I found that An Jingtong was exceptionally quiet today, maybe he was holding something in his heart.

"Hmm." As he said, he slowly took out a paper bag from his bag, hesitated again and again, and finally moved it to my eyes.

Looking at his expression, I suddenly realized that what I was about to face next might be far more serious than I imagined.

What was sealed in the kraft paper bag was a stack of photos.

It is a photo of the queen and Tao Wenyan having a private tryst.

When I saw the first picture, I thought, given the relationship between the Queen and Namin, this level is not surprising.

Then I flipped through one by one.

The content is getting more and more explicit.

Until I can be sure - Tao Wenyan cheated again, and this time he cheated with the queen who is now in power.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should praise him for his ability, and I was also very confused, what kind of charm he had, so that he could win a woman like the queen.

It's hard to imagine that the queen would be so ambiguous with a man with a family, not to mention that this man held a wedding not long ago. Isn't this a slap in the face of the royal family?Why is she doing this?Is she out of her mind?

"Actually, they met when Mr. Tao first returned to the capital." An Jingtong said in a low voice.

...If Tao Wenyan and the queen have already established that kind of relationship, then his support for Naming is open to question?After all, if he can hold the queen firmly and prevent Naming from splitting with the royal family, wouldn't he, who has a close relationship with both families, become the ultimate beneficiary?

I suddenly felt creepy. From this point of view, the ultimate reason why Tao Wenyan has been supporting and planning Xie Dongrong's marriage with the son of the Tao family is because of this.

Tao Wenyan doesn't care at all who has a more reasonable political opinion today, all he cares about is his own interests.

And why would the queen follow Tao Wenyan's tricks?In fact, it is very simple, because being an enemy of Na Ming itself is a high-risk and high-cost matter. If she can make Xie Dongrong, who was originally swayed by the eldest prince, turn around and help her through her relationship with Tao Wenyan, Even just maintaining a neutral attitude can save her a lot of effort and worry.

I said how could Tao Wenyan be so kind. On the surface, everything was for Naming, but in fact it was just to maximize his own interests.

Originally, An Boyan, who got this group of photos, could immediately expose the queen's various behaviors, but in the end he didn't do so. The reason is very simple... It's possible, because Xie Dongrong on his side considered me and my mother.

If this continues, the trust between Xie Dongrong and An Boyan may be shaken. If An Boyan loses... I can't help but look up at An Jingtong who is standing in front of me.

Although he hesitated several times, in the end, he was still willing to tell me all this. This is unreserved trust, which is more valuable than anything else.

Moreover, if the queen and others continue to be in power, then the disaster of Amut star may happen again.

Putting my hand on An Jingtong's shoulder lightly, I stared into his eyes, "Thank you for being willing to tell me."

"...I just think Brother Shu has the right to know."

After sending An Jingtong away, I began to think about whether to tell Xie Dongrong all this. Although it is very likely that he already knew about this matter, his concerns... and some of my opinions, I think it is necessary to let Xie Dongrong know. he knows.

The sky is over, and I wanted to get some sleep before contacting him.

It turns out that when things start to go bad, it can get even worse.

Before I could send any message to Xie Dongrong, I woke up the next morning and saw the news that the princess had been arrested and imprisoned.

At that moment, my mind was numb, staring at the short-sentence news headline, I just felt as if a big stone was pressed against my chest.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a bolt from the blue.

Sitting on the bed, holding the communication device, I didn't know what to do for a while. Xie Dongrong must have known the news earlier than me. He is undoubtedly very busy now, and it is reasonable for me to disturb him at this time.

Mom is calling.

Her tone was not very good either, she just said "something went wrong" and then told me that Tao Wenyan had thought of a solution, and she wanted me to meet with Tao Wenyan immediately.

It was nothing more than wanting me and Xie Dongrong to get married as soon as possible. When I boarded the car and looked at the Tao family compound approaching, I felt an unprecedented nausea and chill.

Sitting in front of me, Tao Wenyan seemed to be in a good mental state, anyway, he was very different from the one his mother said he couldn't eat.

"I found letters from the princess and the suspect who killed the king in Naming." No nonsense, this time Tao Wenyan got straight to the point, "This time Naming is difficult."

"Tao Wenyan," staring at him coldly, tearing off his hypocritical face, I felt my hands were dirty, "There is not enough evidence, so it is not certain whether that person is the murderer."

It seems that the Queen has already begun to work hard to eliminate all the insiders that night.

Tao Wenyan smiled, and didn't deny my words, but said: "The queen said whoever is, then whoever is, we have nothing to do, Tao Shu, the princess has been growing up since she was a child, and she seems to treat you well. This time you... Will not stay out of it."

"Stop beating around the bush, just say it straight." I would feel disgusted if I flirted with him for a second.

"I have already pleaded with the queen. She said that if she can be guaranteed and the Xie family boy agrees not to fight against her again, if the princess wants to, she can consider letting her go."

According to this, these villains directly sentenced Mr. Meng to death?

"To be honest, Dongrong's actions are too big recently, and the queen can no longer ignore them." Tao Wenyan's face was falsely dignified, as if he was really worried about Naming, "I only knew about you before." The relationship with Xie Dongrong is just right, after you marry him, let him stop, Naming is still the same Naming as before, there will be no change."

The tail that the fox finally leaked, indeed, such and such, Namin will not change in any way, but he has become a benefactor, a planner, and a vested interest in all interests.

How could such a good thing happen in the world?
