It was only then that Xie Qingci realized that this was the scene of Xiao Di just entering Beijing in the previous life, and this Xie Qingci was himself in that plot.

Realizing this, Xie Qingci's heart immediately lifted.

For some reason, Xiao Di should have had his leg broken at this time, but facing the "Xie Qingci" that ruined him in front of him, he was still a little gentle: "Your Highness is still up so late?"

Like a magic trick, Xie Qingci took out a food box from behind: "I know you were punished for not eating at the dinner party, this king specially left it for you, open it and have a look."

Xiao Di hesitated for a moment, but still took the food box: "Thank you, Your Highness."

He wasn't actually hungry, but he didn't want His Highness' good intentions to fail.

Xiao Di opened the food box, but he didn't realize that "Xie Qingci"'s smile was getting darker and colder. At this moment, Yan Ming and others rushed forward and surrounded Xiao Di.

"Xiao Di, you are so courageous! It is His Majesty's order not to let you eat, and you dare to secretly resist the order here!"

Before the words were finished, these people swarmed up, punching and kicking Xiao Di.

If Xiao Di really fought back, these people would definitely not be his opponents, but for some reason, Xiao Di did not move at all, being humiliated in every possible way, his eyes were still fixed on Xie Qingci.

When "Xie Qingci" saw this look, he twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Xiao Di, do you think that I treat you well by rewarding you with a few mouthfuls of food, rubbing your medicine on you, and asking you warmly a few times? What did you say that you want to protect this king? It’s up to you! You deserve it! Heh, this king just sent a dog away before, but today I will let you wake up and let you recognize your identity!"

The beatings of those people never stopped, Xie Qingci couldn't make a sound in his dream, and could only watch helplessly as the light in Xiao Di's eyes fell like shooting stars, and finally died.

Xie Qingci trembled all over.

No wonder, in the previous life, I sometimes had moments of faint lucidity. Every time I regained consciousness, I could see Xiao Di being bullied by these people in every possible way. At that time, he simply thought that Xiao Di had saved his life. Standing up to protect Xiao Di, several times, even took Xiao Di back and gave him medicine.

At that time Xiao Di was just silent, but he was also docile and cooperative, and he couldn't see any violent murderous tendencies.

But when he regained consciousness, Xiao Di had returned forcefully and seized the throne, becoming a ruthless and feared tyrant.

After all, Xiao Di's twisted madness in the future must also be related to his own torture...

I don't know how much disappointment and pain Xiao Di has gone through alone, before he grows into the final madman. I have experienced humiliation and pain in his hands. In the beginning, Xiao Di was humiliated and played by him in every possible way...

"Xiao Di..." A few broken moans came from the corners of Xie Qingci's lips: "Xiao Di..."

The voice was full of guilt, which made people's hearts tighten.

Xiao Di couldn't help but hold Xie Qingci's fingertips tighter, only to see tears as clear as dew congealed in the corners of his eyes, falling down.

Xiao Di stretched out his hand, gently rubbed over the teardrop, his heart suddenly felt hot.

In the dream, brother would still feel ashamed of him because of the hesitation just now?

There was warmth in Xiao Di's eyes, and while Xie Qingci fell asleep, he pressed that soft palm to his cheek.

Xie Qingci coughed up blood in agitated mood, and he had it several times. He had no good way, but could only quietly wait for him to wake up.

When Xie Qingci woke up, it was almost late at night, he opened his eyes in a daze, and first took a habitual look at the koi lantern by the bed.

The warm yellow light shrouded him warmly, Xie Qingci calmed down a little, and was about to call out, when he suddenly saw a tall black shadow beside the bed.

He took a closer look and was stunned.

It's Xiao Di.

He leaned against the bed in silence, his eyes were slightly closed as if he was taking a nap, his brows were furrowed, and he looked exhausted.

But his hand was clasped firmly in his palm, as if holding a fleeting treasure.

Xie Qingci held his breath and stared at Xiao Di's face.

With long eyebrows drawn into the temples, long eyelashes outline the upturned eyes, a straight nose, and the side of the nose is shadowed by the candlelight, making her look even more cute.

Xiao Di in this life has never hurt himself.

Instead, he took risks again and again towards himself.

Why should I be trapped by the obsession of the previous life?

What Xu Huizhou said, he also heard it in his heart.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Di was too reckless and too docile and protective, Xie Qingci had no hesitation at this moment—he wanted to step forward and let Xiao Di stand in the light again.

Those hands that are capable of firing all shots should not be used only to fight bandits, and his agility and quickness should not be used in life-and-death struggles with slaves.

Xie Qingci looked at Xiao Di's face quietly in the night.

I want to see him in armor leading the army, I want to see him riding on horseback excitedly, with his eyebrows raised and high-spirited.

Although...he also knew that Xiao Di had some crooked thoughts about him, and Xie Qingci's ears turned red, but it must be the distorted preferences of Xiao Di after his disposition changed greatly in the previous life.

If his life goes smoothly in this life, and his life goes smoothly, then... Even if he is attached to and covets himself at this moment, when he sees the vast world, he will not fix his eyes on him...

What should be a relief, but Xie Qingci felt sourness that he couldn't explain clearly.

Now that Xie Qingci had made up his mind, he directly explained it to Xu Huizhou, and the two began to secretly discuss how to use this matter to reverse the case.

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Huizhou sighed: "Actually, in the end, it's because I don't know who is behind the case that I have concerns everywhere."

Behind the scenes...

From Pang Zhang's startled horse at the beginning, to the Yan family's provocation, to the bandit's attack at this moment, Xie Qingci could sense that someone was behind the scenes, but there was no strong evidence to point it out.

"Then there's no need to point out who's behind it."

A strange man's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Xie Qingci was taken aback, and hurriedly opened the palace door.

I saw Xiao Di standing at the entrance of the hall with a handsome and handsome guard, and it was this strange guard who spoke just now.

Xie Qingci looked at Chunliu, with a slight reproach in his tone: "How do you see the door?"

Chunliu glanced at Xiao Di, moved her lips and said nothing.

Now Captain Flying Cavalry is the second master in their palace, if he wants to bring someone, he dare not stop him.

"Your Highness is planning for the minister, do you still want to keep the minister out?"

Xiao Di's eyes never moved away from Xie Qingci's body, and there was a bit of a playful smile in his tone.

Xie Qingci's heart trembled, he moved his eyes away and said: "It's not considered a plan for you, this king... this king is for the righteousness of the court..."

As he spoke, his voice lowered.

Xiao Di just looked at him with a hint of a smile on his face. For such a cold and cruel person, his eyes seemed to be full of sunlight at this moment.

Xu Huizhou coughed lightly and interrupted their staring: "Then... why don't you come in and talk."

Xiao Di led Yan Jing into the palace. Yan Jing was the chief guard in the palace. Although she was free to come and go in the palace, she seldom entered the hall, and she was still a bit cautious at the moment.

Xiao Di first thanked Xu Huizhou solemnly: "Since Mr. Xu came to Beijing, regardless of his identity, he is willing to take risks and devote himself to rehabilitating the Xiao family. Xiao Di thank you here."

Xu Huizhou was startled, and naturally began to compliment him.

Xie Qingci at the side: "..."

He thought he was not a stingy person, and it was impossible for him to say a few words of thanks, but his heart was uncontrollably filled with sorrow.

He also disregarded his identity, and he was willing to take risks to rehabilitate the Xiao family.

Why did Xiao Di ignore himself?

Seeing the eyes of Xiao Di and Xu Huizhou facing each other, Xie Qingci snorted and said, "Is there one less person to thank?"

Xiao Di looked at Xie Qingci, as long as his eyes fell on him, the line of his always indifferent lips could not help but curl up.

The awkward and jealous brother made his whole heart feel numb.

Xiao Di's eyes were deep and focused, reminiscent of the blue starry sky at night, he smiled after a while and said: "In the future... I will thank Your Highness in private."

Xu Huizhou and Yan Jing couldn't help but look at each other.

Why do you feel that both of them should disappear in place...

Yan Jing looked at the two of them, coughed lightly and said, "That... I'm done thanking you, let's move on."

Xu Huizhou looked at Xiao Di and said, "Did you also find Captain Nie?"

Yan Jing said: "Yes, it's just that he didn't want to cooperate, and it's thanks to Mr. Xu for coming forward."

Xu Huizhou murmured: "You said that there is no need to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but do you already have a rough plan?"

Xiao Di nodded and said: "The mastermind behind the scenes must be high and powerful, and it will be difficult for His Majesty to deal with it if a single stone stirs up a thousand waves. I did this, but it can arouse the suspicion of His Majesty and others, and it will slowly ferment afterward..."

Xu Huizhou thought about it carefully, and felt that this method was indeed safer than directly pointing out who it was.

What they want most right now is to overturn the case. As for whether someone is secretly plotting or those people are really blinded by the wrong person, the world must have a public opinion. After all the rumors are discussed, they must be able to guide the wind.
