Qi Huang

Chapter 14

Li Zheng's hidden hatred reminded Xie Xuan of the hatred he had faced Li Jin in his previous life.

That is indeed a deep-seated hatred.The nobles of the sky, the man bestowed by heaven, are walking on thin ice in the struggles among nobles and officials from all sides.

There are many people coveting this position, and Li Jin is the final winner.

After Xie Qingshan's death, in Li Jin's eyes, many princes were no different from pork waiting to be slaughtered in the butcher's case.As abandoned sons, they were all locked in a deep harem, and then given a glass of poisoned wine.

Standing in the hall, Li Jin's face was filled with the joy of being in charge of life and death.Later, that pleasure distorted his human face, and together with the cries of his brothers dying, they frequently appeared in Xie Xuan's dreams.

Li Jin was arrested, and all the people who were closely related to the Li family were imprisoned. Naturally, the upper and lower nine families were not spared.And where was Li Zheng at that time?

He killed the Li family, and he had never heard of Li Zheng.

Presumably, in his previous life, he died early in that difficult environment.

After regaining power, a palace attendant asked him: "Lord Li is waiting for His Majesty to deal with in prison, what does His Majesty plan to do?"

Xie Xuan turned the wrench in his hand without raising his head: "Who?"

"Li Da..." The palace suddenly came to their senses, and hurriedly changed their words, "The guilty minister Li Jin."

Only then did Xie Xuan laugh and said, "Divide the corpse by five horses and expose it to the sun for ten days. After ten days, throw the corpse into the wild and let the beasts have a full meal."

Before he was alive, Li Jin loved power the most, and he did not hesitate to kill his wife, son, king, and friends. After his death, Xie Xuan wanted him to be scolded by thousands of people, and he would have no peace in hell.

No one in the hall dared to speak out to dissuade him.Xie Xuan thought, he must have also fallen into madness at that time.

There are so many hatreds in the world, Xiao Ling hated the royal family for letting him lose his father when he was young, and his good years were held hostage by his enemies, like a trapped animal.What did Li Zheng hate?Is it his vicious elder brother, his indifferent father, or his own destiny?

Before leaving, Li Zheng returned to his calm and relaxed appearance. He stared at Xie Xuan for a while with a gloomy expression, and said, "We will see you again soon."

"What are you thinking about?" The tenth prince stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, bringing Xie Xuan back to his senses.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly want to be a good person."

"..."

The tenth prince choked for a moment, but he was obviously used to it, and continued to scold him when Xie Xuan was talking about the horse-drawn carriage.

"Where did you go just now? Seeing that you were not here, Li Yu's face turned green."

"The hut, I lost my way."

The tenth prince was blocked again: "...how could Li Yu fall in love with a vulgar person like you."

He muttered a few words, deliberately not letting Xie Xuan hear clearly, and he also felt that it was disgusting and embarrassing for someone like Li Yu to look at him.He is a few years older than Xie Xuan, and when facing outsiders, he feels that he should protect his younger brother, which is also to protect the face of the royal family.

After the two got into the carriage, the rain from the sky quickly fell like beads and hit the roof of the carriage with a crackling sound, making both of them sleepy.The tenth prince leaned against the side of the carriage, his head rolled left and right, as if he was falling asleep, but his eyes were wandering like ghosts.

Xie Xuan could feel his scorching gaze even with his eyes closed, and when the Tenth Prince turned his hesitant eyes again, he suddenly opened them: "Have you seen enough?"

"..." The tenth prince swiped his head and turned his head, with a sneaky look that wanted to hide.

Xie Xuan: "..."

Why didn't he know that this cheap ten brother likes to pretend to be stupid so much?

Xie Xuan rubbed his brows, and said helplessly: "Do you want to ask why my clothes are so messed up?"

The Tenth Prince immediately had an expression of "You actually know what I want to say": "It's just clothes, what's the matter with the red mark on your neck?"

Red Seal?

Xie Xuan followed the Tenth Prince's gaze and looked down.Because of the loose neckline, half of the collarbone leaked out, and just below the collarbone, there was a red mark the size of a fingernail. The shape was irregular, but it was still eye-catching against Xie Xuan's unusually fair complexion.

Maybe it was the mark on the handle of the dagger that was hanging around his neck when he was pulled into the house by Li Zheng.Or when the consul revealed his secrets, Li Zheng pressed him to the corner, and the marks on his fingers were scratched.

Facing the searching eyes of the Tenth Prince, Xie Xuan pulled up his collar calmly: "Mosquitoes bite, the hut in Li's mansion is not as clean as the one in the palace."

Tenth Prince: "..."

If he can believe it, there are ghosts.The tenth prince stretched out his hand and pointed again: "What about your hairpin?"

Men only tie their hair when they are fifteen, and princes add many more accessories than ordinary people.Before leaving, the ten princes remembered clearly that Xie Xuan spent half an hour picking out hairpins, and now the bun was bare, with only one decorative bead left.

What about hairpins?Do you really think he is lame?

The tenth prince said firmly: "Did you secretly go looking for the little girl just now?"

Xie Xuan: "..."

The hairpin probably fell into a corner accidentally when Li Zheng dragged him into the house.This is really unexpected by Xie Xuan, if the hairpin is picked up by Li Zheng, it will be fine, if it falls outside, it falls into the wrong hands...

Xie Xuan lowered his head, and was about to make up another reason, but the driver outside the carriage suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Call-"

I don't know where the groom turned the horse, but the huge inertia caused the two people in the carriage to fall sideways.Xie Xuan quickly helped the window frame, but was still accidentally bent by the force.

But the Tenth Prince was not so lucky.When the accident happened, he was leaning half of his body in the direction of Xie Xuan, trying to find the truth from Xie Xuan's expression.There was no chance for him to react at all, and he fell backwards unexpectedly.

With a "bang", his head hit the crossbar hard.

For a moment or two, Xie Xuan saw the Tenth Prince rolling his eyes uncontrollably.

He frowned and turned his head, with anger in his eyes, he lifted the curtain of the car: "How do you drive?"

At this time, the carriage had stopped firmly on the side of the street.The sight was unclear in the heavy rain, Xie Xuan only had time to glance at the panic-stricken passers-by, and the groom knelt down in front of him, blocking his sight.

"Your Highness, forgive me! Your Highness, forgive me!" The groom slapped his face, "Your Highness disturbed the car, please punish me!"

Xie Xuan squinted at him: "You don't want to defend yourself."

"It's the lower officials who didn't control this beast. No matter what the reason is, the lower officials should be punished!"

He stared at the groom for a long time, and he didn't give up until he was sweating profusely.

The tenth prince behind him sat up ouchily, still cursing, but fortunately, his skin was thick and fleshy, so the collision did not cause any real damage.

Xie Xuan felt relieved, and raised her chin towards the groom: "You, get out of the way."

The groom was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded with an "ah", and quickly moved away.

The car curtain was lifted again, and Xie Xuan finally saw the culprit of the accident through layers of rain curtains.

That's another horse.However, compared with their vehicle, the color of the horse was very different.Even though half of the sight was blocked by the rain curtain, Xie Xuan could still clearly see the color and texture of the horse's hair.

And on the horseback, there was a young man wearing a red and white shirt, trying to control this beast that was so fierce that it dared to run amok on the street.

The rain hit him, but it didn't make him look so embarrassed.On the coat, the white is clean and the red is eager.The young man reined in his horse, and the red ribbon on his hair crown danced in the wind. In the hazy rain, this dazzling red and white color became the only vivid color in the world.

It's a pity that I can't see his face, Xie Xuan thought inappropriately.

The spring rain comes and goes quickly.

After a rain, it seems that all the cold in winter has been washed away.The tenth prince clutched his head and staggered off the carriage, Xie Xuan watched from the side, fearing that he would fall into a piece of cake the next moment.

"Did you see who did it just now?" The tenth prince took Xie Xuan's hand, "When this prince finds out who did it, he will definitely take his head off!"

Xie Xuan didn't answer, and waited for the groom to lead Ma Dada far away before asking him, "Where did you find the groom?"

"Ah?" The tenth prince was puzzled, "The Ministry of Rites is looking for a small official who handles the trivial matters of the parade, what's the matter?"

Xie Xuan nodded: "Do you know who in Beijing likes to wear red clothes?"

"That's too much!" The tenth prince rubbed his head and muttered, "Some young masters like to wear this kind of bright color, go to Yanyulou Hongxiuhao to drink, and have a spring night after drinking... you ask What is this for?"

"Then let me ask you again, who are those who have contact with the Ministry of Rites and who like to wear red clothes?"

"Department of Rites? Red clothes?" The tenth prince was confused, "You..."

He was stunned, and his chaotic thoughts finally became clear: "You mean, today's accident was deliberately done by someone together with the groom? To kill you and me?"

"uncertain."

Seeing that the tenth prince had stood still, Xie Xuan waved his hand away, straightened his cuffs and said, "No one dares to assassinate the prince in a grand manner on the streets of Bianliang."

Today's matter seems reasonable, but it is quite strange when you think about it carefully - the bloody BMW broke free from the reins and went into the street to hurt people, just in time to meet a man who is good at riding horses to resolve the crisis.

Where did sweaty horses come from?Who is this man?Why did he appear by such a coincidence after Xie Xuan and the Tenth Prince were attacked?

Only the tenth prince next to him suddenly said: "I really think of someone when you say the red clothes and the Ministry of Rites."

Xie Xuan came back to his senses: "Who?"

"The Patriarch of the Qin Family, Qin Ting, and Qin Huai Xu."
