Chapter 15
Hearing this, Zhong Wan took the initiative to take two steps back, leaving space for the princess and Tanhualang who seemed to have a lot to say.Li Xingchui noticed his little movements, and felt his breath stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down.
"Where have you been for more than two years?" Princess Qiluo stared at Li Xingchui intently, and the nurses and maids who accompanied her were all watching her heart, as if she was used to such situations.
Li Xingchui was annoyed by what she said, and couldn't think of any excuse to explain it, so a pair of cat eyes stared straight at Zhong Wan.After Princess Qiluo's anger passed, she calmed down a little, and immediately noticed Li Xingchui's abnormality.That's right, the long-lost Tan Hua Lang suddenly appeared now, isn't it because of this little villager!
She sneered, and said, "Li Xingchui, what are you looking at, no one will remember you."
Zhong Wan nodded hastily, and was just about to ask himself when he would be able to return to Jinzhou, when suddenly he heard another sentence from Princess Qiluo: "He has lost his soul, no matter what you say now, he can't remember gone."
"Hey..." Li Xingchui felt embarrassed when he heard Princess Qiluo's baseless guess, poured another cup of tea to finish, and turned his head to explain to Zhong Wan that he went to Yingman Village for something else thing.No matter what, he couldn't be allowed to be used as a raft by Princess Qiluo inexplicably.
Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he saw Zhong Wan's expression of being struck by lightning, pinching the satin of the blue robe uncertainly.
At this moment, Zhong Wan suddenly understood why he had no impression of Li Xingchui. If it was said that he did not pass through his body, but his soul passed through a person who looked exactly like himself, then everything would be explained. pass.When he woke up in the haystack beside the road, no one could tell where he was from, and it was very likely that he was thrown there after all.So when he arrived in Yingman Village, no one knew him.
Skynet is so sparse and not missing, I didn't expect that someone who knew the original owner would appear at this time, and it's the famous Tanhualang who is famous all over the world!
Zhong Wan immediately became very guilty, afraid that Li Xingchui would tell all about his hometown, and when he went back to meet his relatives, he would not know anyone, so it would be exposed immediately.Before he had time to think deeply, in order to save his life, he immediately pushed the boat along and said, "I really can't remember many things clearly, especially what happened three years ago..."
"Ha ha."
Li Xing directly ignored Princess Qiluo's malicious sneer, excitedly pulled Zhong Wan's shoulder, and asked, "You really can't remember what happened three years ago?"
In a rage, Zhong Wan nodded dizzily, thinking that this person looks quite happy, is he really a friend of the original owner?
After Zhong Wan made the decision to "pretend to have amnesia", Li Xingchui also made a decisive decision and explained vaguely: "I...I knew you before, maybe you don't remember, it's okay, we can start all over again."
Zhong Wan, who was still in a guilty conscience, didn't delve too deeply into it. In short, it's enough to fool around temporarily during the time in the capital.
Now that the purpose of coming to the Reclining Buddha Temple has been achieved, Princess Qiluo doesn't want to stay longer.She looked thoughtfully at Li Xingchui and Zhong Wan with different expressions, thinking of what Master Cai Huiming said just now, "Fate has come", her heart moved suddenly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"Zhong Wan, let's go, I have to take you back and give Brother An an explanation."
When Zhong Wan heard this, he was overjoyed. Maybe An Wang would let him go back to Chengwu County tonight when he learned that Li Xingchui had returned!
He thought carefully as he walked, fortunately he brought some silver taels when he came out, so he wouldn't be unable to go home now.However, King An is rich and powerful, since he brought him to the capital without any explanation, after the goal is achieved, he shouldn't just throw his hands away and ignore his life or death, right?
When they went down the mountain to take the carriage, Li Xingchui walked away for a while, and bought a horse at a high price from the rich family who came to worship Buddha.Just now because he was too anxious, he came directly on the cloud, but now he has to put on a show.
But Zhong Wan didn't even notice the time he was going back and forth, and walked with his head down, without giving him a look, and got into the carriage directly.
The cat owner was completely ignored, and it was painful to learn from it on the way back on horseback.That imperial gift mansion that I haven't lived in for two days should be used...
King An of that side received the news as soon as he left the palace, and rushed back to the mansion non-stop, ordered the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and asked Shu Ming, the personal servant, to wait at the porter, and report as soon as he saw someone.
Princess Qiluo did not follow Zhong Wan and Li Xinghui into the door, she lifted the curtain of the car window, and said to Li Xingchui: "Brother Emperor will probably announce you into the palace tomorrow, and then I will separate you from the palace." explain."
Li Xing smiled, and after saying goodbye to Princess Qiluo politely, he got off his horse and went to Zhong Wan's carriage to pick him up.When Wang An hurried out, he saw Li Xingchui approaching Zhong Wan with a smile.
"Ah Wan, how is your stay with His Highness King An? It stands to reason that we are old acquaintances. Now that I come back, I shouldn't bother Your Highness. I should pick you up to live in the mansion. But it hasn't been lived there for a long time, and it still needs to be repaired. , you wait for a few days."
Zhong Wan was a little dazed after hearing this. He never thought that after Tan Hualang got back, he would still live in the capital.However, Li Xingchui seemed to be very familiar with the original owner when he stretched out his hand without hitting the smiling face. If he wanted to say no, he had to choose his words carefully.
Before he could figure out what to say, King An came over like a whirlwind, pulled Li Xingchui's sleeve, and expressed his excitement, "Xingchui! You are really safe, I knew it! I knew it!"
Just hearing the address, Zhong Wan could feel the unusual intimacy Wang An had for Li Xingchui.The latter patted King An on the shoulder, smiled, and said: "It was indeed a serious injury at the time, and it took a while to rest, which made you worry."
A group of people entered the palace and sat down at the banquet.Zhong Wan's eating and drinking in the past few days were the rules of the leader's kitchen, neither shabby nor out of order, now seeing the sumptuous dinner on the table, he didn't know how to serve chopsticks for a moment.
Li Xingchui was telling King An about his escape journey after the assassination, and he did not mention Yingman Village in his words. He only said that he had recuperated in a safe and remote village for more than a year before he came out to track down the assassin.
King An frowned and said, "Why do you bother to act alone? You should come back to the capital after recovering from your injuries. Brother Huang will definitely send someone to help you and me investigate this matter."
Li Xingchui was a little helpless, and lamented that King An was straightforward and righteous, but unfortunately he was not smart enough, "The enemy is in the open, and I am in the dark. It is much more beneficial to investigate many things in secret. His Highness must have noticed it. The incident two years ago The matter is actually aimed at His Highness..."
Wang An's expression turned ugly, and Li Xingchui didn't say any more, but turned around and prepared dishes for Zhong Wan, "This bird's nest shredded chicken is a specialty of the chef of Prince An's Mansion, try it quickly. "
Zhong Wan hurriedly thanked him, bowed his head and ate the food seriously.On the side, Wang An's right hand froze in shock, and he came back to his senses after a while, looking at Zhong Wan with serious eyes.
It was night, Li Xingchui proposed to stay in the Wang Mansion temporarily for two days, and he would bring Zhong Wan to move there after the Li Mansion was settled.King An strongly agreed, and even held a conversation with Li Xingchui Bingzhuye.He didn't know much about what happened before Li Xingchui went to Beijing, and he thought Zhong Wan was Li Xingchui's fellow villager in Jianzhou, "Qin Feng just reported back, saying that Zhong Wan was assassinated in the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, thanks to your rescue." When you were in Kyoto before, I never heard you mention this person, he is your fellow countryman? But why did he say he didn't know you?"
"Probably. Ah Wan lost his soul for some reason three years ago, and can't remember the past clearly. I plan to take him by my side to take care of him, and see if he can recall the past." That's what he said, Li Xingchui was still skeptical about the whole thing.Judging from the first encounter two years ago, Zhong Wan definitely does not look like a person who has lost his soul, and occasionally mentions his parents when chatting with Sanhuang.
Although Wang An is arrogant, his heart is not bad.Hearing what Li Xingchui said, he naturally developed a heart of compassion, and felt that it was pity that Zhong Wan had no relatives and no reason.The two changed the wine, and only rested when they were ugly.
Early the next morning, sure enough, the palace sent someone to announce Li Xinghui's entry into the palace, but this time they actually called Zhong Wan.Seeing that no one in the palace showed any surprise, Zhong Wan knew that the matter of his temporary stay here must have been heard by Datian.In just one month, from a small mountain village to the inner courtyard of the palace, the contrast should not be too great.
Li Xingchui kept comforting him along the way, saying that the current emperor is a good emperor who is diligent in government and loves the people, and he will never make things difficult for him.
It's a pity that Zhong Wan's trust in Li Xingchui is also limited. Although he thinks that other people seem to be nice, he always feels that the other party looks at him strangely.
When the two of them arrived outside the Imperial Study Room, several ministers happened to come out in a file. The youngest one who walked last looked up at Li Xingchui as soon as he came out, with undisguised hostility in his eyes.
Li Xingchui turned a blind eye to him, and stood waiting for the little eunuch to go in and report.
"It's been two years since I left, how is Master Li doing?"
"Very good." Li Xingchui replied expressionlessly, without even looking at him.Zhong Wan had known him for a day, and all he had seen was his smiling face. Seeing his cold face, she subconsciously felt that the person in front of him should be Tan Hua Lang's enemy.
The other party waved his sleeves and said angrily: "That's good. I hope that Tan Hualang can explain to the emperor completely in a while, why, as an official of the imperial court, why he has recovered from his injuries but has not returned."
Li Xingchui was still not in a hurry, and said, "Don't worry about being second."
This Lord Ning was even angrier when he heard the words, he gave Li Xing a lowered look, and left quickly.Zhong Wan's doubts were plainly written on his face, Li Xingchui immediately laughed, and said: "Ning Junde is the second place in the same period as me, and because he failed to win the prize, he has always had quarrels with me."
Zhong Wan was puzzled, "But his ranking is higher than yours!"
Li Xingchui nodded at the little eunuch who came out to announce their audience, and said calmly, "I look better than him."
Zhong Wan: "..."
