Meiqiang miserably uses herself as a substitute

An order from Emperor Mingde.Both are dead, the emperor is more ruthless than the prince, they would rather take a gamble, betting that the prince has a sense of proportion and knows the importance.

But they don't know that once the prince is in front of that person, he has no sense of proportion.

They underestimated this obsession.

After Xiao Li finished smashing things, the person lying on the bed frowned impatiently when he heard the noise.

Xiao Yan closed and opened his eyes, swept away most of the darkness inside, walked to his side and leaned over, saying, "Are you waking up?"

Xie Yan didn't answer, but opened his mouth to rave.

Xiao Zhan: "What did you say?"

Xie Yan murmured a few times, turned over, and exposed his back.It was covered with sweat, sticking sticky to people.

Xiao Li's hands trembled, the figure from his back was clearly so close, yet so strange.

He stretched out his hand and saw a hole cut by broken porcelain, and blood flowed out of it.

"Your Highness!" Someone shouted from outside the door again, but this time the tone was more urgent than before. When Xiao Zhan heard the familiar voice, he raised his heart.

Ah Deaf pushed open the door: "Your Highness!"

Xiao Ran was displeased, but he knew that Ah Deaf would not be as rude as those people outside the house—something must have happened.

Ah Deaf didn't have time to catch his breath, thinking of the many people kneeling at the door, he lowered his voice and said, "Something happened in the palace...the imperial doctor said it was an epidemic!"

Xiao Yan frowned and looked at him.

A Deaf said: "Li Feng died suddenly in prison. The guards responsible for packing up his body were greedy for alcohol, and the body was not disposed of until the next day. That night, several people who had contact with the body started to have fever one after another...Sickness changes in different seasons. People didn't pay attention to it before, until nearly half of the prisoners were suffering from this disease, and the imperial doctor was invited..."

It has been rainy in Kyoto recently, the air is humid and stuffy, and there is no sunlight in the prison. Under such a temperature, the corpses will start to produce corpse spots within a few hours, and then the whole body collapses and gradually rots.

The imperial prison is humid, which is the most likely to breed pollution.

Xiao Yan's eyes sank, and he looked at Xie Yan who was at the side.The man was still asleep, but he was restless, his brows were tightly furrowed, and they never relaxed from the beginning to the end.

"Your Highness." Ah Deaf said, "The imperial prison has been closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave. The news has been blocked quickly, and it has not yet spread outside."

Beiyi has always coveted Daliang, but was afraid of Daliang's military strength and dared not do anything.If the news of the plague in the capital spreads out, it will not only disturb people's hearts, but also give Beiyi a chance to attack.

Xiao Zhan said: "The prison is sealed and ordered to send more people to the imperial army."

Ah Deaf replied: "Yes."

Ah Deaf said, "Your Highness."

Xiao Yan didn't speak.

Ah Deaf shifted his gaze to the wound on Xiao Ji's hand, and said, "Those people outside the house..."

Xiao Ran's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "If they want to kneel, they should kneel for Gu!"

Ah Deaf stood there and paused, saluted and exited: "Yes."

"Stop." Xiao Yan called to him again, and said, "Bring me a jug of wine."

"Uh..." Although Xiao Zhan didn't say anything, Ah Dean understood that he was talking about the wine under the pear tree in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. ...I was drunk by Mr. Xie last time."

Xiao Yan was startled: "Did you finish drinking?"

Ah Deaf nodded.

Xiao Yan closed his eyes, and said to himself, "He doesn't know how to drink."

Ah Deaf was silent, waiting for his order.

After a long while, Xiao Li laughed softly and said, "Just drink it."

He said to Ah Deaf: "The East Palace is so big, you can find some to drink."

Ah Deaf said, "Yes."

In the Fourth Prince's Mansion seven years ago, it had been snowing for many days, and it was a rare sunny day.Xie Yan was bored and recuperated in the house, finally looking forward to a sunny day.

Once the snow starts to melt, the temperature gets lower and lower.Xie Yan wrapped up a fox-fur cloak given to him by the butler and went out to bask in the sun. After walking a few steps, he saw a man with his head bowed under the pavilion.

Xie Yan paused and turned around silently.

Today, it seems that it is not suitable to go out.

Forget it, the front door of his small house can also be exposed to the sun.

I just didn't want to be stopped by the man when I was about to leave, "Stop."

"Uh..." Xie Yan rubbed his hands hidden under the cloak to warm them up, and turned to look at him.

The young man Xiao Li didn't even look at him, he just said, "Come here."

Xie Yan said no a hundred times in his heart, thinking that this person is seeing a good day, bored with reading, and wants to fight with him again?

There are so many martial arts guards around him, why should he look for him?

Xie Yanchu complained in a low voice, "Weird too", Xiao Yan raised his eyes, and approached him coldly.Xie Yan shivered for a moment, and reluctantly walked towards him.

When he arrived at the pavilion, Xie Yan had completely lost the mentality of rejection that he had before. After a few short steps, he figured it out: he can't escape after all, even if he loses in a fight, he can't lose in terms of momentum.

He walked with his head held high and his chest held high, never bending his back a little.Xiao Zhan didn't call him, so he stood aside.

Xiao Zhan lit a censer beside him, burning incense inside, which has the effect of concentrating and meditating.Xie Yan smelled this smell, his eyelids became heavy, and he yawned calmly.

Xiao Yan paused and looked sideways at him.

Xie Yan stared at his pen, and saw a drop of ink falling on it, destroying the paper and the words on it.

"Go back to sleep when you're sleepy, come out in such a cold day, do you hate your own life?" Xiao Li put the piece of paper aside and started writing again.

Xie Yan ignored him, this man couldn't say anything nice to him, so he simply went in one ear and out the other.

He waited at the side for a long time, but Xiao Zhan ignored him for a long time, as if there was no such person at all.

Xie Yan smelled the fragrance of concentration, stood sleepy, and yawned again, then Xiao Yan said, "Come here."

Xie Yan went over in response, and heard him say again: "Deaf, come here."

"Uh..." Xie Yan squinted at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Zhan said, "Take this away."

He was referring to the censer.

Xie Yan rubbed his eyes, and inadvertently glanced at the scrap of paper just now.Although he was illiterate, he could see that the characters were extremely beautiful.

Xie Yan asked: "What are you writing here? What's not... what..."

Xie Yan felt that even if he knew these words, he still couldn't understand the meaning.

To be a prince, do you have to learn these boring things from an early age?

He looked at Xiao Zhan with a kind of pity and gaze, but he aroused the contempt of that person and said, "You can't read?"

Xie Yan suddenly froze: "..."

"What's wrong with being illiterate!" Xie Yan turned his head and said, "Do you think everyone is like you, did someone teach you how to read since childhood?"

In saying this, he was actually jealous of Xiao Zhan.He has been a prince since he was born, so many people surround him at his disposal, he can get whatever he wants, and some people teach him how to read.

But these words are always in my heart, and it is impossible to really say them.

Xiao Zhan ignored him again, and just wrote by himself.

Seeing his ignorant attitude, Xie Yan held back his anger, walked to him and said, "I live like this every day, and I don't feel bored!"

"Uh..." As soon as the words fell, Xiao Li made the last stroke, then raised his eyes and met Xie Yan's eyes.

Xie Yan was startled by his eyes, took half a step back, and said, "What are you going to do?"

38. Chapter 38

Xiao Li stood up, put the pen on the inkstone beside him, and picked up the book beside him.

Xie Yan: "..."

Xiao Zhan said: "The Book of Songs, Zheng Feng."

Xie Yan: "Huh?"

Xiao Yan turned the page and looked at Xie Yan.

"Uh..." Xie Yan thought to himself that he shouldn't talk too much and cause trouble for himself.

Pointing to the words above, Xiao Zhan said patiently: "There is Fusu in the mountains, and lotus flowers in Xi. If you don't see Zidu, you will see Kuangqi. There are bridges and pines in the mountains, and youlong in Xi. If you don't see Zichong, you will see Cunning boy."【1】

Xie Yan narrowed his eyes: "..."

ha?

The corner of Xiao Ran's mouth raised slightly, Xie Yan naturally saw it, and after glaring at him, he just wanted to stay away from this person.

Xiao Zhan said, "Zidu and Zichong are old beauties."

Xie Yan listened reluctantly.

Xiao Zhan also said: "Kuangqi and Qiaotong are frivolous and cunning people."

Xie Yan: "..."

He is illiterate, but not stupid.After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, Xie Yan thought he understood what he was talking about, and before Xiao Zhan could continue talking, he interrupted him abruptly, saying, "You scolded me?"

Xiao Li didn't react for a moment, seeing that he didn't speak, waiting for someone to explain.

Xie Yan didn't say anything, Gu turned and left the pavilion by himself.

Xiao Yan didn't ask anyone to stop him, and after Xie Yan left, he turned his eyes to the book and thought for a long time in silence.

Ah Deaf watched Xie Yan go away angrily, wondering why Mr. Xie said that His Highness was scolding him.

Xiao Li called out, Ah Deaf walked over and heard him ask: "Where did I scold him?"

Ah Deaf shook his head, expressing that he didn't know either.

"If your Highness the Fourth Highness wants to make Mr. Bai understand, why do you use this method to cause people to misunderstand." Ah Deaf said, "Why not directly..."

"It's just his temperament." Xiao Yan looked at the calligraphy and painting he had just written and said, "If he said it, he would only think that I was laughing at him."

Ah Deaf: "But Mr. Bai doesn't understand this poem..."

Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "If you don't understand, forget it."

Ah Deaf: "Your Highness."

Xiao Zhan looked at the place where Xie Yan disappeared last, and said, "I taught him how to read, as long as he is here, he will always understand."

Xiao Zhan went to look for Xie Yan in the middle of the night, but before he reached the place where people lived, he heard the sound of something breaking from inside.

His heart beat faster, fearing that something happened to that person, he rushed in without saying a word.

The house smelled of alcohol.

Xiao Yan frowned, seeing Xie Yan drunk and lying on the ground, he walked over to help him up, but the man started drinking madly, hung on him and refused to leave.

Xiao Li lowered his voice: "Come down."

Xie Yan naturally couldn't hear it.

Xiao Zhan said coldly: "If you don't know how to drink, don't drink it. Who gave you the wine?"

This time Xie Yan heard it, opened his eyes a little, and looked up at Xiao Li for a long time, as if
