Prime Minister, he just refuses to usurp the throne

After the guards rushed to hunt down the assassin, Xie Anshuang continued to pour wine for himself slowly, glanced at Xing Wenshu who was still standing aside, and said, "Why, our precious Second Young Master Xing is scared out of his wits by this mere assassin? "

Xing Wenshu consciously ignored the sarcasm in his words, and asked: "Your Majesty has long expected that there will be assassins coming?"

Xie Anshuang replied disdainfully: "There is no need to expect this kind of thing. People who want to kill Gu can line up outside the capital from the gate of the palace. If Gu didn't even have this precaution, he would have been stabbed to death by an arrow from a traitor gone."

Xing Wenshu couldn't help asking: "That's why His Majesty is so alert when he is resting, right?"

Xie Anshuang filled a glass of wine, but did not answer.

In fact, as early as seven or eight years old, he was used to being vigilant at all times.

Since he was a child, he has been trained by Yuangui as a secret guard.

If he did not dare to kill people, dare not drink poison, or if he was not vigilant enough or obedient enough, what awaited him would be Yuan Gui's beatings.

Xie Anshuang drank the wine in his hands in one gulp, the strong aroma of the wine lingered on the tip of his nose, and he felt a little drunk.

Seeing this, Xing Wenshu stopped staying on the topic just now, and stepped forward to remind: "Your Majesty, you should also pay attention to drinking in moderation, and don't be too greedy."

"Okay." Xie Anshuang waved his hands impatiently, "Gu is not such a person who can't drink too much, Gu has his own measure."

Xing Wenshu looked at the half-empty wine jar beside Xie An, seemingly helpless, and went up to pick up the wine jar, and said, "Forgive me for overstepping the rules, but I don't really believe in your majesty's propriety. For the sake of your majesty's health, Your Majesty, it is better not to continue drinking for the time being."

Xie Anshuang clicked his tongue lightly, without saying anything, and slowly finished the last bit in his hand.

At this time, Xing Wenshu sat back beside him again, and suddenly said: "The reason I went to Dali Qing today is to win Dali Qing's cooperation and jointly track down the masked thief."

Xie An gave him a sideways look, as if he wasn't very interested.

Xing Wenshu continued: "So it is my fault that I failed to give priority to your majesty's needs today. I will explain to your majesty first next time."

"Second Master Xing has a lot of things to do every day, so I dare not ask Second Master Xing to report everything." Xie Anshuang sneered, and was not satisfied with his words.

Xing Wenshu still just smiled and said: "Your Majesty is joking, no matter when and where, I always give priority to His Majesty's affairs. As long as His Majesty needs it, I will rush to His Majesty's side at any time."

Xie Anshuang listened to his words, his expression didn't soften much, and he lowered his eyelashes to play with the empty wine glass in his hand.

He really hated hearing Xing Wenshu say such things.The better Xing Wenshu treats him, the stronger his sense of guilt.

How much must he go too far for Xing Wenshu to hate him?

Xie Anshuang withdrew her thoughts and yawned Youyou.

He seldom drank too much wine at one time, and every time he drank a little too much, he was easily confused and fell asleep when he was confused.

Xing Wenshu reminded again at the right time: "It's cold at night, and it's about time for Your Majesty to go back to his room. Be careful of catching a cold."

This time Xie Anshuang didn't refute anything, stood up and patted the hem of his clothes, ready to go back to his room.

Xing Wenshu followed behind him, performing his duties as a bodyguard dutifully.

And on their way back, the guards who had gone to catch the assassin happened to come back to report.

The head guard handed over the three throwing knives, and reported politely: "Your Majesty, the assassin committed suicide by biting his tongue, and my subordinates found the three throwing knives on the assassin."

Xie Anshuang glanced at the surface of the flying knife, it didn't look like it was soaked in anything, so he didn't pick it up.

Xing Wenshu, who was following Xie An's side, stepped forward consciously, took a look at it, frowned and said, "This throwing knife seems to be the same as the one used by the masked thief to hurt people before."

Xie Anshuang looked in his direction, and Xing Wenshu continued to explain: "I specially collected the murder weapons used by the masked thieves to hurt people, all of which were flying knives, and there was a small leaf pattern on the handle of the flying knives." .”

While speaking, Xing Wenshu showed Xie Anshuang the leaf pattern on the handle of the knife.

Xie Anshuang raised his eyebrows lightly, and said: "Xing Aiqing means that the one who came to assassinate Gu today is the masked thief you want to track down?"

But Xing Wenshu shook his head and said: "Without definite evidence, I dare not jump to conclusions. And after two days of simple investigation, I speculate that the so-called masked thief may not be one person, but a group of people."

Xie Anshuang seemed to be rarely interested in this matter, and asked, "Why did Xing Aiqing say that?"

"I have already asked Dr. Xian Guanglu and several victims who were sober." Xing Wenshu dutifully explained, "According to different people's descriptions, the appearance and characteristics of the masked thief are slightly different. Therefore, I speculate that behind this should be a human organization." A conspiracy."

Xie Anshuang recalled what Dr. Yuan Guanglu had said and didn't say to the masked thief in the previous memorial, and was a little skeptical of his statement.

However, he still chose to believe in Xing Wenshu's ability, without showing it on the surface, and continued: "I don't care about any conspiracy, since Xing Aiqing should find out within six days, I can look forward to Aiqing's results."

Xing Wenshu smiled lightly, and there seemed to be some determination in his eyes: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, for the sake of His Majesty's safety, I will do my best to find the person behind it for Your Majesty."

Xie Anshuang didn't say anything else, and ordered the guards to deal with the assassins tonight, then waved them away, and went back to the room to get ready to sleep.

At this time, Xing Wenshu temporarily resigned on the grounds of other matters, Xie Anshuang ignored him, and continued to walk back, just taking advantage of this emptiness to think about the masked thief.

Today, Xie Anshuang also learned from Ru Nian that the only nanny of the former Third Prince who was killed by the masked thief, the real cause of death was the poison soaked in the flying knife.

Then it is very likely that the "masked thief" that day was the one he met back then.

Based on what Xing Wenshu said just now, he speculated that maybe it wasn't that the masked thief had a group of people, but that there were other people as a cover-up.

The real "masked thief" should be the one with Qianxiao poison in his hand.

So what exactly is the Empress Dowager Yuangui trying to cover up, and what is she really trying to do?

Xie Anshuang couldn't figure it out, and his head hurt because of drinking, so he decided to stop thinking about it for now.

Let's find some time another day and go to Yuangui's side to see if we can find anything.

He breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to gently rub his temples, and hurried back to the room.

But it was only at this time that Xie Anshuang realized that he was only thinking all the way, and unknowingly deviated from the direction of the room, and walked to the dining room on the other side, and there seemed to be lights on in the dining room.

Maybe some of the servants are hungry now, let's make some food.

Xie Anshuang was going to pretend he didn't see him and leave, but when he turned around, he suddenly noticed Xing Wenshu's figure inside the door.

Why is Xing Wenshu in the dining room at this time?

He paused, still unable to hold back his curiosity, he quietly walked to the half-opened window of the dining room, and then heard the conversation inside.

"...It's almost done."

"I see, thank you for your advice."

"My lord, you're welcome. It's my good fortune to help you. But why do you suddenly want to learn how to make hangover soup?"

"Your Majesty seems to like to drink alcohol, but falling asleep after drinking at night is easy to cause headaches. It's good to learn a lesson so that His Majesty can sleep more comfortably after drinking in the future."

"..."

Xie Anshuang did not listen carefully to what was said later.

He looked in from the window at Xing Wenshu, who was smiling gently under the warm yellow light, and clenched his hand hanging on one side slightly.

It's just... hopelessly stupid.

How could a person like him deserve to be treated like this.
