After Xi Chi left the palace, he naturally went back to Xi Xiuyuan's mansion first. Before he could sit down and have a sip of tea, Xiao Jing suddenly said that King Cheng invited him over.

Because it was a bit hot and the sun outside was quite strong, Xi Chi was also lazy and tired: "Did your father say what it is?"

Xiao Jing said: "The people of His Highness King Cheng said, you can go if you want, son, and if you don't want to go back, it's a small matter."

Naturally, Xichi didn't want to go again, it was noon, and it was a good time to rest: "I won't go, just say I'm sleeping. If anyone wants me, let them wait in the living room and see you after waking up." .”

Xiaojing nodded: "Okay, I see."

King Chen always thought that Xi Chi was living with King Cheng, but he didn't expect that Xi Chi was in Xi Xiuyuan's new house.

With a smile on his face, he dealt with the old guy Cheng Wang for a long time, and finally the person sent by Cheng Wang replied: "Young master said that he is resting and doesn't want to come here now. Everything will be discussed after he wakes up."

King Cheng stroked his beard: "This child is spoiled and has no rules."

Chen Wang was very worried now, Zhong Pu was in Zhong Ye's hands for more than a day, he was not at ease, he was afraid that after a long time, Zhong Pu would enter the prison of the Ministry of punishment vigorously, and finally be carried out with a skeleton corpse.

"Where does the prince live now? This king waits for him," Chen Wang said with a smile, "Young people, it's normal to be greedy for comfort."

King Cheng said: "He lives in Xiuyuan's mansion."

King Chen was very upset: live in Xi Xiuyuan's mansion?Didn't he make a trip in vain?The old guy Cheng Wang has a stinky face and a bad voice, Chen Wang really doesn't want to associate with Cheng Wang.

King Chen hurried to Xi Xiuyuan's mansion, and got the same answer: the young master is sleeping, and everyone is gone.

Even if the person who came was Chen Wang.

If it were normal times, King Chen would have been angry long ago. No matter what he said, he could be regarded as a person under one person and above ten thousand people. with...

But thinking of the life and death of the son of Chen Wang, for the sake of his son, Chen Wang had to swallow this breath, and waited for nearly two hours, and the sun was almost setting.

Xi Chi slept for a long time, and after waking up lazily put on his clothes, Xiao Jing told him that King Chen was waiting outside, and he was getting impatient.

Xi Chi had already expected this.

The news that King Chen got from Zheng Ru was true. If he wanted to release his son, he had to ask Xi Chi to be useful.But - without Zhong Ye's order, how dare Zheng Ru reveal it?

Xi Chi came out lazily, this was the first time that King Chen looked seriously at this young master of the Xi family.

Xi Chi was wearing a snow-white robe, embroidered with the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, as elegant as a painting with ink splashed on it.

He really deserves to be the son of Mrs. Yao who is known as the most beautiful woman in the world.

Xi Chi doesn't have much experience in relationships, but he has dealt with people like Chen Wang a lot, he has rich experience in handling affairs, and he looks decent when acting.

Except for the emperor, King Chen seldom spoke to people in a begging tone, but today he was more polite to Xi Chi, at least more polite than his lawless and bullying son.

"Xiao Shizi, the dog Zhong Pu offended you, and this king personally came to make amends."

Xi Chi sat down and took a sip of tea, and raised his eyes lazily.Even in the face of King Chen, the powerful minister among the powerful ministers, he didn't show any fear or respect on his face, just like seeing an ordinary servant: "It's His Royal Highness Chen Wang."

When King Chen saw Xi Chi being so rude, he became angry instantly.

Even if King Lao Zicheng of Xichi saw him, there was absolutely no reason for him to sit and talk to him.

Xi Chi is not rude, he just doesn't like Chen Wang.

Two years ago, there was a war in Yingzhou. How many people were displaced and how many soldiers died in the war. However, King Chen and the people of the household department took this opportunity to amass money and sold the imperial weapons to the rebels.

Such a villain, no matter how high his status is, Xi Chi will not look at him.

King Chen said cheekily: "Now the dog is being imprisoned by the emperor. The reason for this matter is that Zhong Pu was rude to you. Can you ask the emperor for mercy? If Zhong Pu is released, the king will thank you very much in the future. "

"Oh?" Xi Chi smiled, "His Royal Highness, how do you want to thank me?"

King Chen said: "My son, as long as you mention it, I will definitely do it if I can."

Xi Chi put down the teacup and leaned against the couch: "I haven't made up my mind yet, His Royal Highness, why don't you come back in two days."

Hearing what Xi Chi said, King Chen didn't know whether Xi Chi would help or not, as if he wanted to deliberately embarrass himself.

Except for the current emperor, King Chen has never seen another person who puts on airs in front of him.

He narrowed his eyes, and said dangerously: "Is the son going to delay? This king told you that this incident was caused by you. If the king's beloved son can't come out alive, the son will make an enemy. It’s not going to end well in the future.”

"Rites first and soldiers later, Chen Wang and Chen Wang's sons are similar in style, as expected, like a father, like a son." Chichi said with a smile, "Are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat. You are too young. This king will reason with you." Chen Wang said coldly, "You have to remember, you are not the only one who offends this king, but also Master Chen Guangchen, Liu Weiliu, etc. Your Excellency is waiting for a few powerful officials, and their sons have also been detained by the emperor. The Yao family and the Tie family are not very powerful in the capital, you have offended so many people, can the Xi family keep you safe?"

Xi Chi shook his head: "I'm not afraid. His Royal Highness Chen Wang, you should go back and wait for a few days. After I have figured out what to exchange for the life of Chen Wang Shizi, I will negotiate terms with you. Please wait patiently."

Seeing that Xi Chi's face remained unchanged and he was not afraid of his threat at all, King Chen was extremely anxious.

No matter how much trouble his son caused, he would have a measure of punishment when punishing him.Now in Zhong Ye's hands, Zhong Ye broke his tendon in just one night. I don't know if he will be alive after two days...

Chen Wang said: "My son, it was this king who spoke a little more seriously just now. If you think about conditions now, this king will agree to you. I am really worried that the dog will fall into the hands of the emperor. The princess at home has been crying all day long. Gouzi has three strengths and two weaknesses, please experience the feeling of being a father."

"It's okay for me to raise the conditions now, I'm afraid His Royal Highness Chen Wang can't do it."

King Chen hurriedly said: "My lord, please tell me."

"It's really good that the emperor rewarded my brother with this mansion. It has all kinds of pavilions, towers and pavilions. I am very envious. It's a pity that I am too shy to afford a house in the capital." Xi Chi said with a smile, "I have been very tight with money."

King Chen heaved a sigh of relief, it turned out that he wanted money, and the prince was also an ordinary person: "I have some savings in my family, maybe I can help the prince for a while—"

For a mansion like Xi Xiuyuan, 10,000+ taels of silver is enough. King Chen has been corrupted a lot over the years, so he can easily take it out.

Xi Chi whispered a few words in King Chen's ear.

King Chen didn't know how he got out of Xi Xiuyuan's residence.

Xi Chi slept for a long time, now the sun is setting, and the red afterglow is covering the whole body of Chen Wang. Chen Wang's footsteps are weak, and he is helped by a servant after he walks out.

He gritted his teeth.

Xi Chi said just now: "Is it okay to buy everyone's life for 300 million taels? If you can't do it, there is nothing I can do to help you."

300 taels.

This is to spend more than half of the savings in Chenwang Mansion and several other mansions.

Chen Wang was able to do it, but he just felt pain in the flesh.

How many years it took him to accumulate these family properties, and he was about to be ruined by an unworthy son.

Xi Chi gave him three days to think about it, except for the families involved, this news cannot be spread outside.

Now Chen Wang has to discuss with various families, and everyone has to pool 300 million taels together.

Chen Wang and Chen Guang have the richest families, and they have the most greed. The children of other families also follow the children of their two families. Therefore, if Chen Wang and Chen Guang want to get the most money, they must each get 100 million taels.

The other companies sold their iron and pot to make up another 100 million taels.

After King Chen left, Xi Chi drank all the tea.

Zhong Ye's move was really good.

After the military chaos in Yingzhou, the current treasury should be empty. Once natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, the entire Xuan Dynasty will be in trouble again.Chen Wang and others searched for countless people's fat and people's anointing, and it would be best to kill them to fill the treasury.

It is difficult to gather so much money for a short while, they have to sell some property, when Chen Wang and others are busy with these, it is much more convenient for Xi Xiuyuan to work in Yuejiang.

When Xi Xiuyuan came back, he traced him thoroughly, only Chen Guang was traced, and King Chen would leave everything behind.Right now, taking out half of Chen Wang's family property, and demoting Chen Guang in the future, without people and money, plus Zhong Ye's deliberate suppression, Chen Wang has no chance of making a comeback, and can only be an ordinary prince.

In less than three days, each family has discussed the results.They are willing to give Xichi 300 million taels, but the amount of money is too much, and they will not be able to get it together for a while, and it will take some time.I hope Chichi can ask the emperor to release him.

Chen Wang guessed that Zhong Ye was behind Xichi, and Xichi himself would never ask for so much.

Xi Chi only said "everyone is safe and sound", and asked them to continue to raise money.

King Chen was in distress, because he knew that Zhong Ye was behind everything, so he couldn't even file a complaint.

In more than ten days, the money was finally collected, and his son was released.

Chen Wang was annoyed when he saw this prodigal grandson, and wanted to kick him a few times to discourage him, but now Zhong Pu was tortured by Zhong Ye's subordinates, he was so thin that he became a bone frame, and his hands were bloody and crippled. He was so distressed that it was too late, so he quickly asked a famous doctor to treat Zhong Pu, and Zhong Pu was not allowed to go out to cause trouble again.

Without the obstruction of Chen Wang, Chen Guang and other forces, Xi Xiuyuan quickly found out the results of his investigation in Yuejiang and wrote a letter to the capital.

Xi Chi doesn't love money, as long as it's enough for him.

At that time, the prince of Qi State thanked him for the several 10 taels of silver that rescued the victims in a short period of time. The money of King Chen and others was the people's fat and people's anointing, so it was naturally filled into the treasury and used by the people in the future.

Xi Chi thought that the treasury was empty, but it was not as he imagined.

The Sheng family is the cancer of the Xuan Dynasty. The scene of ransacking the Sheng family was very spectacular. The whole basement was full of shining jewels and boxes of gold and silver.

The Sheng family did evil everywhere, forcibly exchanging saline-alkali land for the fertile fields of the people, causing countless people to leave their homes.In order to please the Sheng family, gentry officials from all over the country searched the people and gave countless gold and silver every year.

After the Sheng family was raided back then, the national treasury became abundant, and only a small part of the military expenditure was spent during the war in Yingzhou.

Zhong Ye has planned how to govern the country these years, and the soldiers, horses, money and food must be in the hands of the emperor. He wants officials at all levels not to dare to do what the Sheng family did back then, and wants everyone to fear and submit to him as the emperor.

In his opinion, puppet emperors like Emperor Ai and Emperor Cheng are not considered emperors at all, he is the emperor.

In the dead of night, Zhong Ye took care of all the government affairs.Zheng Ru said: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest."

Zhong Ye said: "There are also ministers who have written to let me be the empress. They are really courageous."

Zheng Ru hesitated for a moment, he pondered Zhong Ye's thoughts, and said cautiously: "Mr. Xi has both ability and political integrity, and the slave thinks he is the most suitable candidate. This time, if someone else handles this matter, he will definitely not be able to suppress King Chen." .”

"Yes, he is the most suitable." Zhong Ye played with his fingers, "But he refuses to face up to his feelings for me, his heart is too wild, he is unwilling to take responsibility, he doesn't want to stay in the capital, he just wants to leave .”

Zheng Rudao: "Your Majesty is so heroic, why would Mr. Xi not want to stay by your side?"

Zhong Ye stood up: "Change clothes, I'm going out of the palace."

Zheng Ru hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xi is not at Xi Xiuyuan's mansion today, and the dark guard came in the evening to report that he has returned to Prince Cheng's mansion tonight."

"I'm going to Prince Cheng's Mansion."

Zheng Ru responded: "Yes, that's right, Your Majesty, the cage you want the craftsman to make is already ready."

"I'll see it another day." Zhong Ye suddenly remembered something, "Is it the one decorated with Hetian jade?"

"it is this."

Zhong Ye suddenly hooked his lips into a smile: "There is no need to change clothes, which one of the hidden guards is the best?"

......

Xi Chi fell asleep after blowing out the lamp, and soon fell into a dream.

Suddenly feeling something wrong in his sleep, Xi Chi got up instantly, took the fan on the table to block twice.A man in black took a few steps back, and quickly sprinkled a handful of drug in his hand.

The medicine was so strong that Xi Chi's body softened and he closed his eyes unconsciously.

When he woke up, he only felt that his eyes were resplendent and magnificent. Xi Chi raised his eyes with difficulty, and felt the warmth behind him.

Zhong Ye held him in his arms and whispered in Xi Chi's ear, "Brother stole you from Prince Cheng's residence."

There seemed to be a bit of a wicked smile in his voice.

Xi Chi's body was still soft: "Brother Yi, how can you make such a joke."

"I haven't seen you for many days, I miss you." Zhong Ye said, "In the future, when you go to the ends of the world, I will steal you like this, okay?"

If it was Zhong Ye, Xi Chi had no choice but to not mind: "What kind of medicine is this? Why can't I move."

"It'll be all right in a quarter of an hour."

Xi Chi closed his eyes.

At first he thought it was King Chen who sent someone to take revenge, but now that it was Zhong Ye, he felt relieved: "Brother Yi, I want to sleep for a while."

Zhong Ye pinched Xi Chi's chin: "Look, where are we?"

Xi Chi opened his eyes and found himself and Zhong Ye in a golden cage. The bottom and top of the golden cage were decorated with white jade, which was very gorgeous and elegant: "In the cage."

Zhong Ye said: "Is it okay to be here with me forever? You and I will be a pair of caged birds."

Xi Chi's eyelashes trembled twice. Zhong Ye's words seemed to be true, but he sighed: "Brother Yi, I will listen to you."

Zhong Ye pressed Xi Chi's forehead: "Good boy, I like Xiao Xi even more."

Chichi's collarbone and neck were warm, and the delicate bites made him feel a little pain.

Zhong Ye raised his head: "Xiaoxi, are we committed?"

Xi Chi knows well that the limit has been passed long ago, but he has been unwilling to admit it.

Ever since he discovered that Zhong Ye had desires for him, he should have known that all of this was inevitable.

Xi Chi closed his eyes.

Zhong Ye lowered his head and pressed Xi Chi's soft lips.

After a while, Zhong Ye raised his eyes: "Very soft."

He opened the cage door, and Xi Chi followed him out.Xi Chi tidied up his clothes, the bite marks on his neck and the front of his collarbone, because his complexion was too fair, these marks were too obvious.

Xi Chi pushed open a window: "It's too hot in summer."

People are restless and full of thoughts.

Zhong Ye hugged his waist from behind, his tall body completely covered Xi Chi, Xi Chi said: "Brother Yi, let's take it slowly."

Talking about love is not suitable for too fast, the distance is gradually drawn in.

Zhong Ye bit the back of Xichi's neck: Does this person really belong to him?Don't you think about other people?Always feel uneasy, always feel not enough.

It would be great if Chi Chi was really a little bird, he would eat Chi Chi with its feathers bit by bit.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, and the moonlight entered the palace room. Zhong Ye kissed Xi Chi's neck all over. Although he was not satisfied, it was time to stop now: "My brother, I offended you for my brother."

Xi Chi closed the clothes slowly: "Good brother, offend me next time, now I'm sleepy."
