Under Xie Qingshen's urging and encouragement, Xu Xilu finally climbed onto the window sill in humiliation, and with a light push, the window opened.He flipped in lightly, and when he turned around, he met those familiar eyes.

Compared with when he was first rescued, Xie Qingsu's condition is much better, and his face has turned a little bloody.He sat quietly on the bed, as always, alone and out of the crowd. The moment he saw Xu Xilu, the coldness around him turned into a pool of tenderness, as if a fairy descended to earth and was contaminated by the fireworks in the world.Obviously Xie Qingsu was the one who was more embarrassed, but now Xu Xilu looked at him and felt that he was even more embarrassed than him when he opened the window in the middle of the night.

Xie Qingsu looked at him, there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, and finally condensed into one sentence, "Xi Lu, you are here."

Xu Xilu went to his bed and sat down, his whole body was stiff, and he didn't know where to put his hands.Looking at the scar on Xie Qingsu's collarbone, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, wanting to touch it, but Xie Qingsu held his hand and clasped it between his fingertips.

Really holding hands with Xianjun, Xu Xilu thought wildly and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Xie Qingsu shook his head, as long as the person in front of him was by his side, he would not feel any pain.

The two shook hands, and no one spoke for a while.Xu Xilu met Xie Qingsu's intoxicating gaze, and found a sentence without words, "How have you been in the past six months?" As soon as he asked, Xu Xilu regretted it. If Xie Qingsu lived well, he would It won't be what it is now.

Xie Qingsu's palms were slightly warm, he nodded lightly, "It's okay." When you can't hold on, take out the person you have in your heart and think about it, and it won't be so difficult.

"I've always wanted to ask you." Xu Xilu said softly, "Why haven't you sent me a letter for so long?"

Xie Qingsu held Xu Xilu's hand a little harder, "I thought I couldn't go back."

Xu Xilu felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Xie Qingsu smiled faintly, "I don't want you to be sad for me in the future."

"You..." For some reason, he always had nothing to do with Xie Qingsu, he could always soften his heart quickly, probably because he owed him in his previous life.Xu Xilu sighed and tried to cheer up, "Facts have proved that you can still go back. Don't think too much about it. Take care of your wounds. When you recover, Qingxin and I will take you back to Beijing."

Xie Qingsu's eyes flashed, and he said: "The Holy Majesty's order is to let me stay in Huaishui to find the whereabouts of the stolen evidence. If I haven't found it, I have no reason to return to Beijing."

Xu Xilu comforted him, "There will always be clues. The people in Tianji Camp are really capable. With them, the matter will be resolved smoothly."

Xie Qingsu chuckled, "At the beginning, I thought so too. I hid the evidence pointing directly at the manipulator behind the scenes in an absolutely secret place. In that place, there was no one else except me and the secret guards from the Tianji Camp. Know."

Xu Xilu's complexion changed, "You mean, the Tianji camp is guarding itself?"

"I'm just guessing." Xie Qingsu said in a deep voice, "Xi Lu, you have to know that the Tianji Camp will always only listen to the orders of the Holy One. Many times, the people of the Tianji Camp are by your side, called protection, but actually monitoring. Back then, My father went south, and there were many secret guards from the Tianji Camp by his side, but in the end he died tragically in a foreign land. I have been thinking about what kind of assassin can assassinate a court official under the nose of the Tianji Camp. This kind of person , does it really exist?"

Xu Xilu fell into silence.He had heard a lot about the current Holy Majesty from Xu Taihe and Yu Rongbei.In their mouths, Jinshang is a gentle gentleman who is as gentle as jade and approachable.But after all, he is the king of a country, and he cannot be all gentle and harmless.As Xie Qingsu said, maybe each of them is surrounded by the eyeliner of Tianjiying, and everything they say and do is under the control of today.Thinking of this, Xu Xilu couldn't help but shudder in his heart—does he know that Xu Qingyang, who has been named Concubine Xu Yuan, is not the person he is looking for?If he knew, what happened to Xu Qingyang these days... Xu Xilu suddenly felt a little creepy.

Xie Qingsu noticed that his expression was wrong, and asked with concern: "Xilu?"

Xu Xilu forced a smile and asked, "Qingsu, what is that evidence?"

Xie Qingsu said slowly: "After I came to Huaishui, I bought a housekeeper of Du's house. The Du family deposits a large amount of money in Yinzhuang every month, and the housekeeper copied every bank note. For me, as long as I take this manuscript to the Yinzhuang in Shangjing to investigate and compare, I can find out which Beijing official Du Jinglun is secretly communicating with. After Du Jinglun found out about this, he humiliated and killed the housekeeper. The housekeeper Before he died, he couldn't stand the torture and told him that the evidence had been handed over to me, which forced Du Jinglun to tear his face and attack me."

Xu Xilu was thoughtful, "That is to say, without that evidence, the dog official hiding in Shangjing would not be found?"

Xie Qingsu nodded.After talking for so long, his face was already a little pale. Xu Xilu saw it and said, "Don't think too much, first take care of your body before you can plan for the future. It's getting late, so I'll..." As he spoke, he tried to take his hand out of Xie Qingsu's palm, but Xie Qingsu refused to let him do so.

"Qingsu?" Xu Xilu asked in confusion.

Xie Qingsu seemed to bear it for a long time, and finally broke the precept, "Prince Duan, do you want you?"

Xu Xilu was taken aback, not knowing how to answer this question.Before he regained his composure, Xie Qingsu stared at him suddenly, then turned over.

When the two were within walking distance, another person's shadow flashed in front of Xu Xilu's eyes, and he suddenly got up as if waking up from a dream.

Xie Qingsu looked at him, his well-like eyes showed a trace of grievance and unwillingness.

"I, I'm leaving first." Xu Xilu didn't dare to look at Xie Qingsu's expression, and almost ran away to the door, then remembered that he came in through the window, so he could only bite the bullet and go back into the house. Under his gaze, he turned the window and went out again.

Xie Qingshen was still watching by the window, when she saw Xu Xilu coming out, she winked and said, "How is it?"

Xu Xilu calmed down his restless heartbeat, glanced at him, and said in a calm tone, "It's nothing, just... let's talk about Du Jinglun."

Xie Qingxin was dumbfounded, "In the middle of the night, lonely and widowed, you guys are actually talking about business?"

Looking at the silhouette cast by Xie Qingsu on the window, Xu Xilu knew that some people and some things could not go back.There is a saying that... this feeling can be regarded as a memory, but it was already at a loss at that time.

Early the next morning, Xu Xilu followed Song Yanqing and others to return to Beijing, while Xie Qingshen stayed in Huaishui to take care of Xie Qingsu.Xie Qingsu couldn't get out of bed yet, he sat on the bed, drank the bitter soup, and kept looking out of the window.

Not long after, Xie Qingshen pushed the door open and walked in, he asked: "Has he... gone?"

Xie Qingxin nodded, "Let's go."

Xie Qingsu stopped talking and slowly closed his eyes.

On the way back, because they were escorting Du Jinglun and others, the speed of Song Yanqing and others was twice as slow as when they came, and it took five days to return to Shangjing.After returning to the city, Du Jinglun and others handed it over to Dali Temple. Song Yanqing didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he went directly to the palace to meet the saint.When Xu Xilu returned to Xu's mansion, he saw Mrs. Xie waiting at the door from a long distance away.After Xu Xilu left Beijing, she learned the news that Xie Qingsu was seriously injured. She was so worried that she didn't close her eyes for days and nights. Now that she saw Xu Xilu, her eyes turned red.Xu Xilu helped her into the mansion, and comforted her a little bit, then she stopped crying, and said with distress: "Qingsu, this child, was born with rich clothes and good food since he was a child, and now he has been to Huaishui for only half a year, and he has been tortured to the point of death. I can't even get out of bed..."

Xu Xilu said warmly: "Mother, don't worry, the doctor has already said that as long as Qingsu rests in peace, he will recover soon."

"It's hot and humid in the south, and the miasma is heavy. How can Qingsu recover from his injuries in such a place?" Xie sighed, "Now that the matter is almost resolved, when will Qingsu return to Beijing?"

Xu Xilu remembered what Xie Qingsu said to him that night.If the evidence is really in Shengshang's hands, and he wants Xie Qingsu to stay in Huaishui to track down his whereabouts, then Xie Qingsu's return date... Naturally, Xie cannot let Xie know about it. Xu Xilu stretched his brows and said, "Qingsu's body is really It's not easy to travel long distances. When he recovers from his injuries, it's not a matter of wanting to return to Beijing? Mother, please relax. Last time, my mother asked for a lottery for Qingsu, so it means that his career will go smoothly in the future and he will be able to rise all the way. ?”

Xie smiled through tears, "You're right, the lottery of Qingcheng Mountain has always been effective. It's a pity that Qingcheng Mountain has been repaired for half a month, and the mountain has been closed. Otherwise, my mother would like to take you up the mountain to fulfill the wish."

"Repair?" Xu Xilu asked curiously, "Hasn't Qingcheng Mountain been repaired for a few years? My son looks like it's new inside."

"It's not inside, it's outside." Speaking of this, Mrs. Xie also felt strange, "I heard that all the peach blossoms on Qingcheng Mountain will be pulled out and replaced with apricot blossoms. You said, the peach blossoms are blooming well. It has become a scene in spring, and it was gifted to the Queen Mother by the late emperor, so if the emperor says what to do, pull it out?"

Xu Xilu stayed where he was, as if a thunderbolt had landed on him, and his whole body was split to nothing but bones.

Mrs. Xie was frightened by his expression, and wanted to go over to help him, "Xi Lu? Are you okay?"

Xu Xilu waved his hands, supported the table, and sat down slowly.He finally realized that he seemed to have provoked some great person.
