The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

Chapter 143

In the third prince's mansion, Xiao San is discussing with his staff.Mu Hongcheng was escorted into the sky prison, guarded by layers of guards, and no one was allowed to visit and interrogate. Although the prince was in jail at the moment, but with the protection of the emperor, Xiao San still couldn't do anything about the prince, let alone interrogate Mu Hongcheng. He also planned to find evidence of the prince's crime from Mu Hongcheng, but he couldn't do it now.

A staff member stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Your Highness, the emperor is protecting the crown prince and will not allow His Highness to interrogate Mu Hongcheng. I might as well interrogate his father. Maybe there will be unexpected gains?"

Xiao San was dressed in brocade and rusty clothes, embroidered with python patterns, and wearing a jade crown on his head. He was not angry but majestic. He was sitting in the study, and when he heard the words of his staff, he shook his head, "He doesn't know anything more detailed." Mu Futai knew that he had already learned from Mu Wu that he would not wait until today.

Another staff member stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness, Mu Hongcheng once hunted and killed His Highness, and now, few people from the prince's line are protected by the emperor and are not allowed to interrogate, but Mu Hongcheng is not allowed to interrogate him, dare to ask His Highness, Does the emperor know that he once chased and killed you?"

Xiao San sneered when he heard the words, "The old man just knows that he is like this. Corruption and bribery, forming a party for personal gain, even the crime of opening the city gate of Chuzhou can be put down lightly, but the old man who kills brothers is absolutely not allowed to be made public. That is Slapping him in the face, the old man is protecting Mu Hongcheng, not the prince, but his own reputation!"

This... All the staff hesitated, and someone asked: "Since this is the case, why don't your highness take a step back and endure the momentary hatred in exchange for the emperor's favor? Now, it is more important to re-establish the crown prince. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

Xiao San shook his head, "If I let Mu Hongcheng go, the old man may not make me the crown prince. The old man has spent his whole life playing the game of balance, how could he smash the chess game at the most critical moment? The weaker the crown prince, the more the old man will The more I know how to help, since that's the case, I might as well fight for it myself, I have to pry Mu Hongcheng's mouth open, as long as he tells the fact that the prince is chasing and killing his brother, the prince will never have a hand in this world."

The staff pondered for a long time, and the question seemed to have returned to the original point. Interrogating Mu Hongcheng, prying his mouth open, and now it is difficult to even see him, so what about interrogation?All the staff have a headache.

Wei An came back from Huaizhou, and entered the study after the servants informed him. Xiao San's expression changed instantly, he narrowed his eyes with a smile, waved his hands and said to everyone: "You all go down!"

"Yes!" After bowing their hands and saluting, the aides greeted Wei An again, and they left one after another, each going back to think of a solution.

"You're back!" Xiao Sanxi stood up from the desk with a smile on his face, and walked towards Wei An. The saber on Wei An's waist had already been untied at the door and handed it to the servant of the Third Prince's Mansion. Seeing the Third Prince walking over, Wei An He bowed and saluted.

"We met the third prince, Wei An was fortunate enough to not disgrace his life, and he has already verified the identity of that person."

"Get up!" Xiao San gave a support, "There is no need to salute to me from now on, let alone there is no outsider at this time."

"Courtesy cannot be abandoned." Wei An said lightly, stood respectfully, let Xiao San pull him to sit down, but refused to sit down.Although the third prince has practiced martial arts, he is not as strong as Wei An in terms of inner strength, and he can't sit Wei An on a chair at all. Speaking of which, he and Wei An have known each other since childhood, grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and are now even more fiancés. He didn't even do anything like cuddling his waist and being intimate, only once when he took advantage of Wei'an's drunkenness and sneaked a kiss.

Thinking about it, it is also sad, why does Xiao An always behave so politely towards him?The two are clearly in love with each other, so what's the harm in indulgence in private?He doesn't expect Xiao An to throw himself into his arms, but at least there is no need for this kind of behavior in which he still cares about the courtesy of the monarch and his ministers in private!

"Xiao An..." Xiao San took the initiative to put his head on Wei An's shoulder again, tried to hug his waist for countless times, and was grabbed by Wei An's wrist for countless times.

"Your Highness, it doesn't conform to the etiquette." Wei An said helplessly: "Your Highness, I'd better report the matter in Huaizhou first. Your guess is correct. Han Shi is indeed Chu Ci's parent and son. I have already concealed this matter. Evidence that Chuci's parent and child have suspended animation."

"Xiao An, let's not talk about business, okay? How about we talk about ourselves, you will marry me in a few months, Xiao An, are you happy? Do you remember what you said when you were young? You said you liked it Me, you want to marry me in the future, and fight the world for me!"

Xiao San's eyes revealed some prayers that he hadn't noticed. Ever since the two grew up, although he had always been firm and Wei An still loved him, Wei An seemed to be drifting away from him, not as close as he was when he was a child. , Sometimes he couldn't help feeling flustered, does Xiao An really still love him?

There was some fluctuation in Wei An's eyes, and he lowered his eyes to cover up his emotions, "Your Highness, there is no need to be suspicious. I naturally love Your Highness, and I am very happy to marry His Highness."

"Really?" Xiao San was very happy. Even though Wei An refused to get close to him again, he still felt very happy. Sure enough, Xiao An was just too shy and a person who was too polite. That's okay. Well, they are not husband and wife yet, after they get married, he can cuddle and hug Xiao An openly without worrying about being rejected by Xiao An because of being impolite.

Whenever Xiao San thinks about his marriage, he can't help but want to dance twice in place to vent his uncontrollable excitement, but he can't, he has to be reserved, reserved.Xiao San coughed lightly, concealing his exaggerated smile, trying to make himself serious, "Xiao An, don't worry, I also admire you, and I will treat you very well."

Wei An didn't speak, just stood quietly, the corners of his mouth hooked unconsciously, and then covered it up as if he was afraid that others would find out.

"Xiao'an, you have worked hard this time. Next, take a good rest for a few days and watch me avenge you. Mu Hongcheng personally planned the Chuzhou incident and seriously injured you. I will definitely not let him live well."

Wei An raised his head, "Your Highness, you promised the Mu family..."

"Yes! I promised, but I still won't let Mu Hongcheng go. He hunted me down. Now that I'm alive and well, I can tolerate him, but he was the mastermind who once murdered you. I won't let him go, even if I break my oath." Xiao San gritted his teeth.

Wei An paused, looked up at Xiao San, and remained speechless for a moment.

"Don't worry, I won't know what to do to him, and I won't let him die in my hands and be caught by someone. I will do it quietly, and I won't be honest. I will never watch people bully You still want to get out of your body."

Wei An lowered his head slightly to prevent the people in front of him from seeing his emotions, and said in a flat tone, "Your Highness, the spy among the staff, you want me to do it..."

"No, it's still useful for me to keep him." Xiao San said with a smile, taking advantage of Wei An's unpreparedness, patted his head, stroked his hair, quickly withdrew his hand, pretending to be indifferent , When Wei An wanted to stop him, Xiao San had already finished this set of movements, so he couldn't say anything.

Wei An didn't want to be alone with Xiao San for too long, so as not to let others talk, he left after reporting, Xiao San couldn't keep him for dinner, so Wei An rode back to the Wei Mansion, and when he was walking in the mansion, he met Wei An Jing walked towards him, "What's the matter? Doesn't your mind look like it?"

Wei Jing saw that Wei An seemed to be distracted, and he didn't find him when he walked past him, so he stretched out his hand to stop him from walking, and asked with some doubts.

Wei An froze for a moment, then smiled, "I'm fine."

"Lie to me." Wei Jing smiled, "You and my brother, even though you have restrained yourself these years and become more and more like a dull little master, your demeanor and behavior still cannot hide from me, what happened? "

Wei An was stunned for a moment, and smiled helplessly. At this moment, there was no one else around except him and Wei Jing, and he was at his own home. Wei An was rarely relaxed. Seeing Wei Jing's inquiry, and today, Xiao San would rather For him to break his oath, he knew how serious it was for a man who aspired to be a king to break his oath, and he couldn't help but want to say something.

"Hmm...Brother, do you still remember the story that my father told me about breaking the sleeve and dividing the peaches?"

Wei Jing thought for a while, then nodded, "I remember." According to the records in the ancient books, in order to prevent Wei An from admiring the third prince, his father told this allusion to Wei An, who was still young at the time, and split his sleeves and split his peaches. This is two stories, one of which is the broken sleeve. It is about the subjugated king Ai Di and Dong Xian. Ai Emperor loves Dong Xian. When he woke up, Dong Xian was still sound asleep, but Emperor Ai's sleeve was held down by Dong Xian. Emperor Ai couldn't bear to wake Dong Xian up, so he cut off his sleeve with a knife and was able to get away. There was an allusion of the broken sleeve. After Emperor Ai died, Dong Xian also He was called Ning Xing and was reviled by the world.

The peach is divided into two. It is about Wei Linggong and Mi Zixia in the Spring and Autumn Period. Mi Zixia picked the peaches, tasted the sweetness first, and then gave the rest to Wei Linggong. Wei Linggong was very happy and felt that Mi Zixia treated him Love is deep, but after Mi Zixia got old, his appearance and love were no longer there. Wei Linggong remembered the past, and said that Mi Zixia had given him leftover peaches, and he hated him.

When Marshal Wei told Wei An these two allusions, he actually wanted to tell Wei An that if the king is affectionate, the other party will be called a sycophant, and if the king is not affectionate, then the other person will have nowhere to go up.

Marrying two sons is already difficult. In ordinary wealthy families, the twin sons are not considered as the main mother. Even in the royal family, it is even more difficult for the royal family to marry the twin sons as their heirs. Throughout the ages there is no such thing.

Xiao Sanzhi was in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, Marshal Wei didn't want Wei An to get close to Xiao San at the very beginning, that's why he told these two stories to Wei An back then.

Wei An lowered his head, "When my father told the allusion of breaking the sleeve and dividing the peaches, I was deeply shocked, but I also took it for granted. I don't want to be a sycophant. For this reason, I can practice martial arts diligently, make great achievements, and use my own strength to make great achievements. The merits are based on the court, in order to be worthy of the third prince."

Wei Jing nodded, "I know." He has always understood Wei An's plan.

"Father talked about dividing peaches, so I understood how important it is to follow etiquette. Whether in private or in public, you must be cautious in everything you say and do, and follow etiquette in every move. In this way, even if the love is not there in the future, you can still respect each other. Not to fall into such a miserable situation.”

Wei Jing nodded again, "You did the right thing, this way you can leave a good impression on others, and feel that you are worthy of that position."

Wei An sighed, "But, I'm really tired. For so many years, I dare not relax for a moment and strive for perfection. I thought it was because I loved him so much and gave a lot. Today...Brother, maybe I was wrong, third prince, he also treated me very well."

Wei An raised his lips and smiled, revealing a little joy, and his whole body was full of vivacity. Wei Jing actually saw some shadows of Wei An in his childhood at that moment, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

"Brother, I'm very happy." Wei An said with joy in his tone.

Wei Jing was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, and nodded with a smile, "Just be happy, as long as you feel good."
