Chapter 24 Symptoms

Pei Anan was still recuperating, and it was not an exaggeration to say that his life or death was uncertain. Xie Chenghe was the regent on the surface, but everyone understood it tacitly and began to stick to him.

Only Yue Jinyan's face was extremely ugly. His two sons set off on a certain day and were exiled to the border. Once they left, they would never come back, and his family was also humiliated.

Yue Zhirou, an unfilial girl, defected to Ling Yun. As soon as he combined the things he had found out before, his eyes naturally changed again and again when he looked at Ling Yun.

However, Yue Jinyan was an old fox after all. Even if he had doubts in his heart, he did not act rashly. He only glanced at Ling Yun from time to time with his scheming eyes.

Xie Chenghe lowered his eyes and glanced in the direction of Chen Yanshu.

"I have something to report." Chen Yanshu stood up and said, "My lords also discovered today that Lord Ni Shan was not able to come to court because Lord Ni's son was poisoned."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Chen Yanshu with doubts in their eyes.

The Minister of Punishment understood clearly and stood up: "It is indeed true. Lord Ni's son had an emergency last night. The imperial doctor diagnosed him as poisoning."

"But this is Ni Shan's family matter." Someone frowned, "Even if someone poisons and murders someone, it should be handled by Jing Zhaoyin. Why is the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Personnel involved again?"

Chen Yanshu sneered: "This matter involves more than just the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Officials! This morning the imperial doctor returned to the palace, and after comparing symptoms, it was determined that the poison that Mr. Ni was poisoned by was the same poison as that by His Majesty!"

"This matter is not just as simple as Mr. Ni being poisoned. I suspect that there is an enemy spy in the capital, and this spy may be Lu Yuan!"

The charge of being an enemy's spy was extraordinary, and it directly pinned the label of collaboration with the enemy and treason on Lu Yuan's head.

Everyone was in an uproar, looking at Ling Yun for a while, and for Xie Chenghe for a while. The faces of these people were different, and the one with the darkest face was undoubtedly Yue Jinyan.

The only person who might have poisoned Pei Anan, Lu Yuan, has been released by Xie Chenghe.

Ni Shan was a man of Yue Jinyan, and almost everyone in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty knew about him.

Combined with the fact that Xie Chenghe had been in close contact with Ling Yun these days, and what he had found out in the past two days, Yue Jinyan gritted his teeth and wished he could give birth to Ling Yun now.

Who doesn't know that Nishan only has one young child? It's a treasure! If something goes wrong, I'm afraid the Ni family will no longer be able to get involved in court battles.

It seems like this is going to declare war!

Yue Jinyan looked at Ling Yun and Xie Chenghe angrily, feeling that these two people were working together in collusion. He was so angry that he became dizzy, staggered and fell to the ground.

After all, he was the imperial censor. Everyone gathered around and helped him up. Only Ling Yun sneered and said in a strange way:

"Oh, Mr. Yue's body is not very strong. Is he old? If so, why not go back and rest first? This man is old and useless!"

He was so precious to Yue Zhirou, and listening to his little sweetheart talk about how the old man treated her so harshly was like stabbing a knife in his heart.

It's just that Yue Jinyan is the imperial censor after all, so he can't directly target her, so he's just showing off his rhetoric here, and only wants to go back to coax his own little beauty.

However, this was completely blatant in Yue Jinyan's eyes, and he became even more angry and said viciously: "You will regret your words and deeds today!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight in the court, Xie Chenghe quietly spoke and stopped the dispute.

"This matter is very involved and requires long-term planning." He glanced at Yue Jinyan, then at Ling Yun, and nodded invisibly, "Let's leave it to the Ministry of Punishment, Associate Minister Jing Zhaoyin."

His movements were so small that they were almost invisible, but they could not escape Yue Jinyan's eyes.

Yue Jinyan finally confirmed that Xie Chenghe and Ling Yun had formed an alliance. He rolled his eyes in anger, chewed up the names Xie Chenghe and Ling Yun, and swallowed them hard.

After the court, Xie Chenghe went to Pei Annan's palace. He sat next to Pei Anan, picked up a memorial, flipped through it, and threw it aside:

"Boring."

Pei Annan glanced at it and saw that the memorial was submitted by Ni Shan. It was full of doubts about Lu Yuan and grievances for his precious son.

She didn't even need to ask, just one look at Xie Chenghe's deliberately pretending to be indifferent and the way he secretly glanced at her, she knew that this matter was his handiwork again.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Anan said slowly: "This is not the solution for the victims outside the city. The New Year is approaching, and even if they cannot be allowed to enter the city, they should be allowed to have a good New Year."

Xie Chenghe nodded: "It is really a bad idea not to let them enter the city, but if something happens if they enter the city, I am afraid that someone will make a fuss about it. With your current situation, you can no longer tolerate any disturbance."

"Yeah." Pei Annan didn't feel happy when he saw him saying what he was thinking. He just stretched out his hand and tapped the table, "Tomorrow, the warehouse will be opened to put out grain. You can supervise it."

"So urgent?" Xie Chenghe frowned, "Yue Jinyan's side..."

"I'm not dead yet." Pei Annan interrupted him, "Yue Jinyan is busy dealing with Ling Yun and can't make any trouble. If the victims don't settle down and start making trouble, that will be a problem."

Xie Chenghe couldn't help but smile, looking at her eyes with infinite tenderness, but he was afraid that she would say he was frivolous, so he pursed his lips, trying to hide the smile.

Naturally, Pei Annan couldn't escape his eyes: "Why are you laughing again?"

Why does this man love to laugh so much? What's so funny that makes him curl his lips every day? Seeing this made her feel irritable and she wanted to tear his mouth apart.

"I am very happy that you have the common people in your heart." Xie Chenghe did not hide anything, "You will be a good emperor, better than them all."

Pei Annan was stunned for a moment. He was really not used to such straightforward praise. He raised his head and said contemptuously: "What do you mean?"

She had a heroic appearance, and there was naturally a domineering look between her eyebrows, but when she said this, Xie Chenghe only saw the panic she was trying to hide, and instead she looked playful.

He thought so and pinched himself, but he couldn't stop laughing.

Naughty, I actually used the word naughty to describe her! If she found out, I don’t know how to get angry.

Pei Annan didn't know what Xie Chenghe was thinking, but his expression was too rich, and his eyes never left her, sticky.

She couldn't bear it anymore, so she waved her hand and sent Xie Chenghe away, not wanting to see that face again.

Xie Chenghe drooped the ends of his eyes. He was still smiling just now, but he suddenly became depressed.

Yesterday we could still hold hands, but today we just said a few words and drove them away.

Strange people often say that the most ruthless emperor's family, look at Pei Annan, he really explains this sentence perfectly.

"Sigh." He lowered his eyes and became paralyzed, unable to regain his energy. "It's really worthless if you get it, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Anan's mind was filled with those comments that said she didn't recognize people when she pulled up her pants. Those people from other worlds spoke too wildly, which made her dumbfounded and couldn't bear to watch anymore.

At this moment, Xie Chenghe's words coincided with those comments. Although he didn't mention any offensive words, it still made Pei Annan's face turn red and his expression became quite flustered.

"What nonsense!" Pei Annan couldn't hold back her heartbeat. She didn't understand whether she was the only one who was so abnormal, or whether Xie Chenghe was able to face this kind of abnormality with ease.

There was only a small table between Xie Chenghe and Pei Annan. He curled up his legs and knelt straight, leaned forward, and forcibly closed the distance between them.

He admired Pei Annan's panic and panic, his eyes fell from her earlobes to her neck, staring at the crimson color with great joy.

How could he not know what these anomalies represented?

His heart also throbbed and beat wildly again and again, and he avoided looking at her, not because he didn't want to look directly, but because he didn't dare to look directly, for fear that once his eyes met, everything would be exposed.

It's just that he has accepted this emotion calmly, so he doesn't feel irritated, but finds happiness in it.

Until now, he already likes this kind of numbness from the bottom of his heart, because it is a symptom that belongs to Pei Annan alone.

"You have me in your heart." His voice was very soft, like a feather, brushing past Pei Anan's ears and blowing into her heart, turning it into a puddle of water.

"I'm very happy." He was obviously a scholar, but he abandoned all the circumlocutions of a scholar and opened up the most original thoughts in his heart without trying to modify them.

"An Nan, if I am willing to be nameless and have no status, are you willing to take me?"

Pei Annan's mind exploded with a bang. Xie Chenghe's gaze was more intense than ever before. He was obviously saying such thought-provoking words, but there was no lust in his eyes, only piety.

But at this moment, Pei Anan couldn't even avoid such sight. She was as stiff as a piece of wood, letting the fire named Xie Chenghe burn in her heart.

Pei Annan's face had never been so red in her life. For the first time, she knew that besides having a fever, a person's face could rise to this temperature. For the first time, she felt the pain in her heart, but she didn't feel uncomfortable.

For the first time, she didn't want to make any calculations. She just opened her mouth, and the word "good" was on the tip of her tongue, just waiting for her to let down her guard and slip out.

She bit the tip of her tongue hard, and the stinging pain woke her up. She pursed her lips and said nothing, and her blurred eyes just now regained some clarity.

Xie Chenghe saw it and didn't say anything. He just smiled, with a hint of helplessness and loneliness.

Pei Annan didn't understand. He gave up?

His eyes were like a poison, confusing her to lose the reason she was so proud of. As long as he hooked her again, just took one more step forward, just took a little more initiative, Pei Anan would do as he wished and completely forget that she was who.

If Pei Annan was doing this now, she would definitely not let it go. Instead, she would be more aggressive, more impulsive, and do whatever she could, vowing to make the other party sink deeper than herself.

Her doubts were written on her face, and Xie Chenghe could see it clearly: "If you don't want to do it at all, even if you do, I won't force you."
