Covet

Chapter 29

At night, when everyone was falling asleep, the farmer's Ah Huang was walking around holding a chain. Suddenly, two dark shadows appeared in the distance, and Ah Huang yelled twice. He said "dead dog" and went to sleep.

"Master, the matter has been settled." Xie Qiao knelt down and said.

Xie Ran looked at the bright moon in the sky and asked, "What's the matter with the third prince recently?"

Xie Qiao got up and said, "Nothing happened." The third prince Liu Xiu has been very quiet recently, and according to the news from Qianmian and Yuyue, the third prince didn't make any big moves.

Xie Ran didn't think so: "You guys underestimated him too much. At the time of the change of imperial power, no movement can only show that he is engaged in a big event."

If you keep it a secret, there will be no news.

"The subordinate asked them to continue to investigate, as well as the master, who appeared in Zhaoshui Town after Liu Ke robbed his wife last time." Xie Qiaohui reported.

"Zhaoshui Town? The genius doctor Feng Ru is also there, go get ready, let's go to Zhaoshui Town." After Xie Qiao finished speaking, he quietly returned to the room.

Ah Huang yelled again, and the night became quiet again.

The next day was a fine day. Meng Tan woke up early. When he got up, Xie Ran was no longer in bed, and he didn't know what to do. Meng Tan was worried about Meng Tong, so he went to the doctor's clinic. He opened the door and went in. He saw Xie Ran. Qiao Shou was dozing off beside Meng Tong's bed, and opened his eyes when he heard him come in.

Seeing it was Meng Tan, Xie Qiao stood up and saluted.

"lady."

Meng Tan nodded, walked over to look at Meng Tong, put his hand on his forehead, the fever had subsided, Meng Tan was relieved, turned to look at Xie Qiao and said, "Go down, I'll take care of him."

But Xie Qiao said: "Don't bother Madam with this kind of thing, just come down."

After hearing this, Meng Tan looked at Xie Qiao blankly for the first time and said, "He won't want to see you when he wakes up, you'd better go."

Xie Qiao's eyes darkened. In the final analysis, Meng Tong's suffering was all because of him. After Meng Tan said so, he had no choice but to leave, but he was a little unwilling.

"Xie Qiao resigns!" After saying that, he went out.

Meng Tan guarded Meng Tong, and at noon Meng Tong finally opened his eyes.

"Master..." Meng Tong said hoarsely, his lips were pale and dry, and his eyes were swollen.

Meng Tan poured him water and helped him up: "Come, drink some water."

After Meng Tong drank the water, his dry throat was finally moistened. He immediately said, "How can you let the young master take care of me?"

"Don't say that, we grew up together, you are different from others, this time you are sick, I am also responsible."

Meng Tong couldn't refuse, so he could only swear in his heart that he would be more loyal to the young master in the future. He was sweating and was so sticky, so he wanted to wipe his body. Meng Tan wanted to do it for him, but this time Meng Tong firmly disagreed. Just let it go.

"Master, you go out first." Meng Tong begged.

Seeing his embarrassment and embarrassment, Meng Tan couldn't force him, so he went to the hot water and went out.

Meng Tong took off his clothes. The cloth of the clothes was very thick, which made him a little stinging. He gritted his teeth, took off his clothes, wet the water and wiped every part of his body with a handkerchief. Seeing those bruises and marks, Meng Tong He couldn't help but increase his strength, he felt ashamed, especially when he saw those clear finger marks, he closed his eyes and quickly wiped them away.

After applying the medicine and putting on his clothes, Meng Tong heaved a sigh of relief, those marks kept reminding himself of what he had experienced.

"It doesn't matter, it's fine in the past." He told himself.

At this moment, the door opened suddenly, and Xie Qiao came in with a meal.

As soon as Meng Tong saw him, he showed a frightened look in his eyes, leaned back against the bed with a pale face, and turned his head away from him.

"Get out!" he said weakly.

Xie Qiao put down his plate and said, "I don't feel well about that, we're leaving soon, let's eat."

"Get out!" Meng Tong's voice became louder.

Xie Qiao clenched his hands, turned and left, stopped in front of the door, said without looking back: "Sorry!" After speaking, he left the door.

After he left, Meng Tong calmed down, got out of bed and sat in front of the table. There were three dishes, one bowl of rice and one bowl of soup on the plate, which should be considered rich in this village. It might delay the schedule, but Meng Tong picked up the chopsticks and stuffed food into his mouth like a puppet.

Meng Tan didn't know all this. After he left the room, he saw Xie Ran leading a horse coming from outside the village, so he walked over.

"Xie Ran, what are you doing early in the morning?" Meng Tan asked.

"Arrange other masters to go to the next town." Xie Ran replied while leading the horse.

"Aren't we going back?" After what happened in that village, Meng Tan was a little uncertain about the next study tour, and he missed his father a little.

Xie Ran glanced at him and said, "If you want to go back, I'll send someone to send you."

After hearing this, Meng Tan pouted and asked, "You don't want me to stay by your side, don't you want to see me every day?"

Xie Ran indulged and said: "Even if you are husband and wife, you don't need to see each other every day."

Meng Tan didn't want to see these words. If the husband and wife could not see each other every day, what's the point of marrying Xie Ran?

"But I don't want to leave you for a moment." Meng Tan said bluntly, looked at Xie Ran after speaking, Xie Ran stopped, bowed his head and said.

"A man should aim everywhere."

"I don't agree. Women can focus on their husbands every day, why can't men." Meng Tan retorted.

"You can say whatever you want!" Xie Ran dropped such a sentence and left Meng Tan in place.

Meng Tan is really not suitable to follow him. Everything he does is full of danger. Keeping Meng Tan will only distract him. Now there is no need for the past. In the past, Meng Tan had nothing to do with him. It doesn't matter, but it doesn't work now.

"Xie Ran, stop!" Meng Tan angrily chased after him.

At this time, in the imperial palace in the capital, the prime minister Meng Huo was having a secret talk with the emperor in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, are you really determined to pass on the throne to the Third Prince?" Meng Huo asked seriously.

The old emperor's eyes were cloudy, and he couldn't help feeling sad when he said it was this matter.

"What can I do, the crown prince is dead, who else can he be?" Thinking of his life, he was worthy of the people of the world, and at the end of the day, there was no successor who would satisfy him.

Meng Huo hesitated for a while and said, "Could it be that you forgot the second prince."

"He...cough cough..." When mentioning the second prince Liu Ke, the old emperor became angry. Back then, the second prince's mother was his favorite woman, and he personally taught the second prince since he was a child. Originally, he had intended to pass on the emperor to him from the very beginning, but who knew, who knew that he would directly abandon the throne for an eunuch, and there was no news of him leaving since then.

This made the old emperor feel very cold. After that, the second prince seemed to be a taboo, and no one dared to mention it in front of him.

Having had enough coughing, the old emperor took a deep breath and said to Meng Huo: "What do you want to do with him? Let this matter be like this. Don't worry about it."

Seeing that the emperor was displeased, Meng Huo didn't mention it again, but although he didn't stand in line, he still cared about the world. The third prince would not be a benevolent master. In troubled times, he would be the most suitable person, but now is the time of peace and prosperity Well, if he succeeds to the throne, this prosperous age still doesn't know how much blood will be licked.

"This old bastard, it really is him who is obstructing it!" Liu Xiu kicked over the stool, and Wang Ying next to him lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, you don't need to be angry. Now that the emperor has recognized you as the heir, no one will be able to shake it." your status."

Liu Xiu calmed down because of his words, but he was still worried.

"You go out first, let me be quiet!" Liu Xiu ordered, Wang Ying squinted his eyes, these days, Liu Xiu spent a lot of time alone in the room, he felt that it was tricky.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Ying backed out with a bowed body, closed the door but was careful, and found that the guards were far away, so he took a few steps and retreated back.

After Wang Ying went out, a door opened in the center of the room, and an old nun slowly walked out. She looked about six or seventy years old, and the wrinkles on her face were like tree bark, but her eyes did not look like a monk. Share calculations.

"You are too impatient." The old nun said in an old voice.

Liu Xiu rubbed his hands, and said impatiently: "I don't need you to teach me yet."

The old nun pursed her lips and said, "You can't even deal with spies, what big things can you do!"

Wang Ying outside the door didn't hear well, and was about to run, when a steel needle flew out from inside with a "swish", piercing his neck.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiu in the room immediately opened the door, and saw Wang Ying, who was lying on the ground, slam the door angrily.

"It turned out to be him, I treat him well!" Wang Ying has followed him for many years, if he is a spy, it would be really scary.

"It's Xie Ran, it must be him!" Liu Xiu said bitterly.

The old nun twirled the beads and sat down to look at Liu Xiu: "He is a strange man, you can't beat him."

"Then what should I do?" Liu Xiu asked eagerly, without Xie Ran, he would not be where he is today, but obviously Xie Ran wants to control the tower, he is not willing to be a puppet emperor, before he thought he could get rid of Xie Ran, but now It seemed so naive.

"Cooperate with our Wen Family, and we will help you!" the old nun said calmly.

Liu Xiu showed a distrustful expression. This old nun is the real head of the Wen family. She has been practicing in Jing'an Temple. After the death of the crown prince, she left the mountain and contacted him. If you don't hate yourself, how can you help him?

"I don't believe you don't know how the prince died." Liu Xiu said suspiciously.

The old nun smiled: "The prince is alive, and the Wen family is his backing. If he dies, it is useless to the Wen family. I only want the glory of the Wen family to continue. Now that someone is fighting against the Wen family, I have to See if I agree or not!"

Liu Xiu calmed down at this moment, thought about the pros and cons, and said: "Okay, I agree to cooperate, but I can't wait any longer. If the emperor is not dead, I will not be able to sleep peacefully."

The old nun laughed sarcastically.

"He's a ruthless person." After speaking, he got up and saluted.

"I hope His Majesty will ascend the throne in the future, don't forget me."

Liu Xiu's eyes showed a fierce look, the throne, he wants the throne, no one can stop him.
