After the cannon fodder prince collapsed, the country will not perish

There is no need for the prime minister to tell, Brother An has already learned about this from the doormen.

The first reaction he heard, instead of being angry, he laughed loudly: "Are you sure it's Xie Qingci?"

The doorman was already in a hurry: "Yes, my lord, I heard from the people in the household department that His Highness will take people to our field to re-divide the land tomorrow, and the surplus will be returned to the imperial court."

"Let him come, and I'll see what he can do." Brother An sneered, "Long time no see, I really miss our little Highness."

So what if those fields were not written in the imperial decree?

He gathered those farmers, and the irrigation equipment was repaired with his own money. Now Xie Qingci wants him to spit out the money he wants to get. Wuyi is just a dream.

Xie Qingci tightened the cloak on his body, lowered his eyes and opened the small drawer of the desk.

In the few days since autumn, his chin has become a little bit sharper than before.

Coupled with the hard work of collecting food, the body became weaker.

Xie Qingci stared at the letter in his hand.

Or the previous suicide note.

It has been hidden in the book case here for a long time, and he also informed his two elder brothers. Presumably, if there is really... something wrong this time, with this letter, many things may be avoided from happening again.

Thinking of the matter about Xiao Di in the letter, I couldn't help but feel a heavy pain in my chest.

After a long time, Xie Qingci put the suicide note back in place again, covered his lips and coughed a few times.

Xiao Di stood in front of the window, his eyes darkened a little.

Since Xie Qingci was angered that night, he has moved out of the bedroom and slept alone for several nights.

Standing by the window at this time, I saw two young eunuchs approaching from a distance, whispering to each other.

"You said... why did His Highness take out the suicide note again?"

"Your Highness's health is not good, why do you think this time is more than good..."

"His Highness is in this state, and he is still worrying about raising food for the household department. It's ridiculous to say that, even if he has made meritorious service, so what, does he still want to be a prince with this body..."

Xiao Di's eyes trembled, and he looked in the direction of Xie Qingci's residence.

What came to my heart turned out to be a touch of regret.

If... hadn't had that night of Chao Yue, he would still be with His Highness in the bedroom at this moment.

Then Xie Qingci can also sleep soundly in the past few days.

Xiao Di lowered his eyes.

He knew that Xie Qingci always couldn't sleep well at night, and he didn't know what happened these few days?

Even though his health was already in distress, he still tried his best to mediate with the people from the household department...

She thought that he always wanted to possess His Highness, and could hardly restrain the raging possessive desire, but recently followed him through the Yamen for training, and watched the slender waist try to straighten up, but felt more and more distressed and missed.

At night, Xie Qingci was lying on his side on the bed, the moonlight reflected on his slender white wrist, making him look more and more fragile.

Looking at the koi lantern by the bed, he couldn't help shrinking his head under the quilt again.

Maybe it's because of the heavy autumn dew, maybe it's...Xiao Di's departure, he felt more and more cold in his bedroom these past few days, and he even always felt that the next moment, his soul would go out of his body and repeat the same mistakes.

Xie Qingci clutched the quilt tightly, and was about to turn over, when he suddenly found a tall figure outside the window, flickering with the candlelight, looking terrifying like a giant beast at this moment.

Xie Qingci immediately became vigilant and said sharply, "Who is it?"

He was just getting ready to start working, and he must not be caught by the so-called plot at this moment, and his success falls short.

"Your Highness, don't be afraid, it's me." The figure outside the window opened his mouth heavily, but it was Xiao Di's voice: "I am worried about Your Highness, and want... to stay with Your Highness for a few more days. If Your Highness disagrees, I will never step on the ground this time." Half a step into the room."

Hearing Xiao Di's voice, Xie Qingci was inexplicably relieved: "..."

Hearing that there was still no sound in the bedroom, Xiao Di's palms could not help sweating.

Previously, he overstepped his limits with Xie Qingci, and he acted rashly and uncontrollably when his mind was hazy, but now they are both sober, and his heart beat faster when he said these words.

Xie Qingci was silent for a moment, staring at Xiao Di's shadow. Xiao Di's tall and slender figure became more and more oppressive like a mountain in the candlelight, but his voice was tentative and tense, even with his figure Warm and tamed.

He really... missed the days when he could see Xiao Di on the couch under the bed when he opened his eyes.

That figure was like a generous and warm wall, giving him infinite stability.

But the confusion in the middle of the night made him dare not take any more risks.

"No need," Xie Qing said, "Go back."

"Your Highness doesn't trust me?" Xiao Di said, "This time, I just want His Highness to sleep well. If Your Highness... is really afraid of me, then after the matter of storing food is over, I will move out of the bedroom immediately."

After saying something, what responded to him was a long silence.

Xiao Di lightly hooked the corners of his lips.

In this way, he can only... regard it as his brother's acquiescence.

The door opened, and the moonlight slanted down.

Xie Qingci's black hair was disheveled, she was wearing a moon white tunic, wrapped in a quilt, only one head was exposed outside.

During the day, he is vigorous and resolute and kills all directions, but at night, he is like a caterpillar full of timidity about the surrounding environment.

Looking at Xie Qingci on the bed, Xiao Di just wanted to run over and hold that furry head tightly in his arms.

It has nothing to do with lust, I just want to pamper and take good care of her.

But he knew that this move would alarm Xie Qingci instead, so he forced himself to stop and suppress his heartache and said: "Your Highness, don't be afraid, I will accompany you here."

Xiao Di even took a futon and sat directly on the floor of the outer hall, his face full of innocence.

Xie Qingci: "..."

The moonlight shone on Xiao Di, making him look extraordinarily lonely.

Xie Qingci looked at the empty couch beside him, moved his lips, but did not make a sound after all.

Xiao Di's silent back gave him infinite stability, Xie Qingci finally gradually forgot the terrible plot in the familiar atmosphere, and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Xie Qingci got up, ready to go to the household department, and then went to the suburbs of Beijing to re-divide the fields.

Xiao Di had already dressed and waited outside the door, his eyes were faintly bloodshot, presumably he did not sleep well last night.

He looked at Xie Qingci: "The minister will accompany your Highness down."

As soon as the two left, the little eunuch in Liuyun Palace hurried to the corner when he saw Xie Qingci's suicide note.

"The servant has seen what the master told the servant to pay attention to." The little eunuch said softly to the outside of the wall, "It's in the drawer of His Highness's desk, locked with a lock."

"Are you sure?"

"The slave has spotted it." The little eunuch said: "Your Highness is very cautious, there are still a few letters inside."

There was silence outside the wall for a while, and then he whispered: "Keep staring, don't startle the snake."

On the outskirts of Beijing, on the endless field ridges, more than a dozen farmers are bending over to hoe the ground.

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes, and everyone raised their heads.

Suddenly, a group of stewards flew out of the sky, with smoke and dust billowing from their clothes, they came straight towards them.

"Look, it seems that the butler is here!"

Everyone raised their heads in whispers, and found that these people were indeed coming towards them.

They stopped their work and stood on the ridge of the field to look around.

"According to the orders, to follow the orders, quickly! Come out and stand in a row!" An official got off his horse and said, "The imperial court wants to re-measure the fields, so stop the work in hand first."

"Remeasure?"

"What does that mean? Is our work for nothing?"

"You officials have misunderstood, this is the land of the elder brother of the imperial concubine..."

"It's his land." The curtain of the carriage was gently lifted by fingertips that were as clear as white jade, and Xie Qingci walked down the carriageway lightly: "You don't need to panic, even if this land is taken back by the court, it will be the same for you." Good thing, this king promises, you will only get more and more food."

Everyone was stunned, and no one answered.

In front of him is a young man in white clothes with black hair and jade hairpin, his eyes are moist and his eyebrows are moving. The wind blows his jade pendant, causing shallow ripples and a very light herbal fragrance.

It's like a fairy in a painting...

The officials of the household department have already started to measure the fields, and they plan to allocate only a hundred acres of fertile land to Brother An according to the imperial decree.

"Wait!" As soon as everyone started to measure, there was a loud laughter from a distance: "Since you are from the court, why don't you say hello to me when you come to this king's territory, and let me treat you well?" ah."

The people from the household department stopped and looked at Xie Qingci.

Xie Qingci and Brother An looked at each other for a moment, then said calmly: "We meet again, Prince An."

"It's Your Highness," Brother An arched his hands with a smile on his face, and said in a strange way: "Your Highness is a nobleman carved with gold and jade, why did you come here in person? And dealing with such a rough person, if His Highness is injured here , I can’t bear the charge.”
