Chapter 39:

When Wei Lan was in a daze, Xie Zichen had forgotten everything.
It was a momentary impulse full of anger, but when the tongues were entangled, the wonderful feeling invaded the whole body in an instant, and it made him remember nothing for a while, like a ignorant newborn child who maintained the original Posture, carefully and curiously, outline every detail in the opponent's mouth with the tip of his tongue, every bit of softness.
He was ignorant, but Wei Lan couldn't help but feel a little short of breath. She used great restraint to repeatedly tell herself that this was Xie Zichen's abnormal state and that she could not take advantage of others, but the young and obsessed appearance of the other party greatly challenged her restraint. Fortunately, Wan Rong's broken hands reminded her that she used the last one to be sober, and suddenly broke away from Xie Zichen's hand, and then shouted: "Zichen!"
Xie Zichen’s sanity rushed back, and the dark guards rushed forward. The two men and horses pretended that they hadn’t seen anything, and generally kneeled on the ground to give salutes. It’s just that Wei Lan’s people were quicker and directly put the cloak on Wei Lan. Then he knelt down.
The fascinating feeling still lingers on his lips, but Xie Zichen has always been self-disciplined, and Wei Lan's sudden push has made him sober enough. He pursed his lips, turned his head and jumped into the lake without hearing anything.
Wei Lan: "..."
Isn't it just a kiss? As for! !
At any rate, she was also the first lady who was undesirable back then, how could she be rejected like this!
While Xie Zichen was in the lake, his mind was completely awake.
After he was sober, he realized how ridiculous he had done.
Why is he angry, why is he angry, why does he do such a thing?
If it's just for the other's face, why is his heart calm when facing Wei Hua?
He didn't dare to come up at the bottom of the lake, Wei Lan's dark guard hesitated and said, "Shi Ziye, do you want to get Xie Gongzi up?"
"How's the matter going?" Wei Lan knew that Xie Zichen would be able to get water, so she asked the key points first. Ye Yi looked stern, and immediately said: "We have cleaned up the two dancers' rooms. I also wrote down the people, and I will find a chance to clean up before tomorrow."
Wei Lan nodded and said coldly: "Change clothes."
The dark guards immediately took out the black cloth and set up a dressing room for Wei Lan on the spot.
And after Xie Zichen calmed down, he walked out wet from the water and saw Wei Lan, a simple dressing room, and his guard knelt aside, holding his clothes and said, "Master, please change."
I don't know why, at this moment, Xie Zichen felt a class gap.
After the two quickly changed their clothes, they hurried back to the palace.
At this time, the curfew had not yet begun, and the two entered the palace with the East Palace token, and then returned to the room. After Wei Lan and Xie Zichen hurriedly exchanged confession, Wei Lan rushed to the Imperial Study Room.
After Wei Lan left, Xie Zichen didn't have time to think, and immediately rushed to the East Palace.
After Wei Lan confessed the solicitation of the three princes, she briefly mentioned Xucheng Water Conservancy, but she concealed the fact that her father had invested in Xucheng Water Conservancy and told the emperor that her source was Wang Xi.
Saying half-truths, the emperor didn't doubt that he had him, and after asking her to step back, Wei Lan finally felt that the day was over. The rest can only wait for the movement of the three princes the next day.
On the Prince's side, there was much more chaos.
In the East Palace, the prince, Wang Xi, and Xie Zichen were sitting in front of the case. The prince's face was completely dark: "Is there no other way besides leaving the magistrate Zhang?"
"Yes," Xie Zichen knelt respectfully and said earnestly: "The third princes were extremely quick and violent this time. If it weren't for Wei Shizi's reminder, I'm afraid that even the chance of Shezhang's magistrate would be gone.
"But if you do this, will the people below feel chilly?" Wang Xi looked at Xiao Fan, very worried. Xie Zichen didn't change his face, and said calmly: "If you don't give up the magistrate Zhang, let the three princes move the entire prince's line in Jingzhou, I am afraid that then everyone will not be chilly, but fearful."
Such a case can't protect the prince of the people below, who dares to press Bao on it?
"Okay." Hearing this, the prince finally made up his mind and said coldly: "Tonight, let people rush to Xucheng overnight, and be sure to let them catch Zhang's family before Shengjing sends someone to Zhang's family."
"In addition to water conservancy matters, there is also Wanrong's crime. I beg the county magistrate Zhang to top it all."
Both the prince and Wang Xi frowned, and the prince worried: "Will this be..."
"His Royal Highness," Xie Zichen's voice was full of warnings: "Zhang County has committed enough crimes, and more of this one is nothing. But if this one is missing, Wei Shizi will only become our eternal enemy."
The prince's face was stunned, and Wang Xi's eyes were a little tranced.
Although Wei Lan hasn't fully demonstrated her talents yet, her ability to enter the palace as a companion in the dilapidated state of Changxinhou's Mansion is enough to prove her majesty's expectations of her. If such a person who has been trained as an important tool by the current emperor turns against him, this is by no means a good thing.
"That's it." When the prince was still unable to make a decision, Wang Xi sighed and responded on behalf of the prince: "Zichen is right, the county magistrate is destined to abandon it. It doesn't matter if there is one more crime and one less crime. But Wei Shizi can’t. Wei Shizi is telling us this time, which shows that he is more inclined to us. If Wei Shizi can be our dark man on the side of the Third Prince, that would be great."
"Brother Xi meant," Xie Zichen's expression darkened, "I will convey it. It's just success or failure, it depends on what the son thinks."
"This is natural," Wang Xi smiled and stood up and said: "Zichen, I will go back with you."
Having said that, Wang Xi stood up, and after saluting the prince with Xie Zichen, he walked out.
Walking to the forest path, Wang Xi said clearly: "Alan was the one who went out of the palace with you today, right?"
Wang Xi screamed intimately, and Xie Zichen nodded, not knowing why, there was such a vague displeasure in his heart.
Wang Xi sighed and said with some regret: "Actually, I have always admired Wei Shizi very much. If I can work with her, this is probably Xi's happiest thing in these years. Zichen and Alan are roommates together, and I hope to work harder. "
"Yeah." Xie Zichen responded and said indifferently: "I will work hard."
The two returned to the courtyard together. When they came to the door, they didn't know where the panic came from. Xie Zichensheng stopped his steps and said blankly, "I'm going around.", and then turned back to Taolin on the road. .
At this time, Xie Zichen finally had time to start thinking about what happened tonight.
The biggest impact is the kiss.
Xie Zichen has never kissed anyone, and the only object in life is Wang Wanqing from the previous life.
Wang Wanqing was a shy girl. When she was not out of the pavilion, almost every time they met, they were separated by a screen. He knelt and sat outside the screen, listening to her soft and gentle voice and saying those encouraging words.
After he was lame, everyone laughed and ridiculed him. Only this girl, as always, encouraged him: "How can the intelligence of the fourth brother be covered by this little ordeal?"
He almost cried at that time. He was still too young and still a teenager. When everyone told him that he couldn't do it, the young girl's whispers became his only motivation at the time.
At that time, he wanted to marry her with all his heart, and treat her well after he married her. But apart from treating her well, he didn't seem to have more affection in it.
He never thought of pulling her, let alone kissing her.
Even if she married the third prince later, he was happy for her in his heart.
But how about Wei Lan?
It was not once in his dream that he had seen her. The dream is always her slender waist, with her back facing him, and he is holding her waist, moving slowly or quickly. From the beginning to the end, the dream was full of lewdness and overwhelming desire, which made him scared.
But that was in a dream after all, and he told himself time and time again that it was just because the other person was too handsome.
What about now?
No matter how he deceived himself, he had to avoid such a thing.
He will be jealous, he will be angry, he will lose his mind for her and do things that should not be done.
And when this undesirable thing happened, he actually forgot to stop it, and even produced an extra pleasure from it. Even when he knew that it shouldn’t be, he actually brought so much joy, and thought to himself. Now, you can do it again.
Such thoughts scared him.
He can't help thinking, does he like Wei Lan?
Wei Lan is born with broken sleeves and has no interest in women at all. And he hasn't really been tempted by women for so many years, is he like Wei Lan, is actually a broken sleeve? ?
As soon as this idea came out, he kept thinking about what was wrong with him before.
For example, he has always felt that many women are annoying, except for Wang Wanqing, but even Wang Wanqing will later make him feel annoying in some places.
For example, he has many admired men, such as Wang Xi, Huan Heng...
For another example, he used to feel that he could be single for a lifetime...
Thinking about it this way, he immediately found that he was becoming more and more like a broken sleeve, and the most important evidence was that.
He seems to like Wei Lan a little bit?
Will be happy or unhappy because Wei Lan likes who does not like whom, and will have desires for Wei Lan.
If he probably continued to deceive himself when he was a teenager, this is inconclusive but like.
But he is already in his 40s, and the problem has arisen, he can't escape, he can only face it.
Xie Zichen stood at the gate of the courtyard and took a deep breath.
So how can this problem be solved? Could it be that they broke their sleeves together?
Thinking of this, Xie Zichen couldn't help but ridicule.
Sleeve-breaking is not big or small. Everyone doesn’t think there is anything, but it’s not a problem. But if everyone wants to make a fuss about it, it’s something that can hold you back for a lifetime.
Wei Lan didn't care, it was because she was still young and she didn't know what would happen in the future.
But he knew that the imperfect court had undergone several changes in the past twenty years, and that Wei Lan with such a huge handle was too dangerous.
He would not put himself in such a dangerous situation for a Wei Lan. He liked her, but he did not like her to such a degree.
It's like Wei Lan keeps saying that she likes him, but she just does it.
This is a sincere feeling that cannot be delivered. What he has to do is to put this feeling in his heart and quiet down silently. Then try to correct Wei Lan, let Wei Lan go back to the right path, marry a wife and have children.
They should become allies and work together to empower the world for life.
After thinking about this, Xie Zichen finally had the courage to go back.
He opened the door and entered the room, and saw Wei Lan sitting on the couch, she was reading with Erlang's legs tilted, and dyed ink behind her to help her wipe her hair.
Xie Zichen stood at the door, looking at the young man under the lights.
She really brought a kind of thrilling beauty, which was originally a stunning facial features, but still has such a romantic bearing, the whole person Shi Shiran sits on the side and makes people unable to look away.
Xie Zichen stood at the door for a while, Wei Lan couldn't help but feel a little strange, raised her head, and smiled: "Why didn't Zichen enter the house?"
Xie Zichen didn't speak, he lowered his eyes and walked into the room. After Xie Tong helped him change and wash, he finally returned to the bed.
Seeing that he was going to sleep, Wei Lan put down the book in her hand and asked Ranmo to remove the lamp, so she lay down on the bunk with Xie Zichen. The screen was removed that night, and the bed curtain was not closed yet, and the two of them lay on the bed neatly at a distance of one foot, and no one mentioned the hurried kiss today.
However, after a while, Xie Zichen couldn't bear it, and said slowly, "I'm sorry."
Wei Lan knew what he was talking about, so she twitched her mouth: "It's Lan's honor to see Zichen look like this. Why can't I be sorry?"
Xie Zichen was accustomed to her teasing words like this, and felt that such words shouldn't be taken to heart. If you really believe in Wei Lan, you don't know what it is like to be sad.
Fortunately, he never believed it.
He turned the subject and slowly said: "The bed curtain is still not used, and a bed curtain can't stop my sleeping position."
"Follow Zichen's preferences."
"Wei Lan," Xie Zichen opened his eyes. He felt that whether as a friend or an admirer, he had to remind her: "Do you know that it is a stain that a man loves another man?"
"Huh?" Wei Lan never thought that he would suddenly ask this question. She was a little curious, turned her side, looked at Xie Zichen's face under the moonlight, and said softly: "What does Zichen want to say?"
"I mean, if you plan to walk a long way," Xie Zichen also turned sideways and turned to look at her. The two of them looked like two young boys, hiding in the blankets, whispering in detail, but this topic was exceptional. Seriously, Xie Zichen's eyes are full of worry: "You are the best, you can still like a woman."
Wei Lan: "..."
If she likes women, this is the biggest problem, right?
Seeing Wei Lan's silence, Xie Zichen felt a little bit sorrowful. He lowered his head and didn't know whether he was telling Wei Lan or telling himself: "Why does a big man suffer from being wifeless? Compared with Qing Shi's name, these are things that can be discarded. A Lan As a brother, I can’t watch you step into the quagmire like this."
"So," Wei Lan felt a little hairy in her heart, frowned, and said seriously, "What are you going to do?"
"Alan," Xie Zichen looked up at her and said very seriously: "I will help you correct this mistake and fill in this shortcoming. You are still young. When you grow up, you will understand that women are better in this world."
Wei Lan: "..."
"Don't worry," Xie Zichen looked at Wei Lan's entangled expression and made up his mind: "I won't let you sink into the mud and get close to those inconsistent men."
The inconsistent men Su Cheng, Huan Heng, Wang Xi, and Lin Che sneezed in his room at the same time.
And Wei Lan's heart collapsed.
Very good, there is another old mother in this world, Huanheng.
"Zichen," Wei Lan still wanted to struggle, and sighed: "I think I probably won't like women in my life. I can only like men."
"How do you know if you don't try?" Xie Zichen said with a stiff face: "You should at least take your first step and find a woman to try, so that you will know how good a woman is."
Wei Lan couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
"Then what if I can only like men?"
"Then stand at the peak of the imperial court. You become the ruler of the imperial court. No one dares to say anything else if you say anything. At this time, you like whoever you like. But before that, you shouldn't do it again. Challenge this secularity this time, you have to know that the people at Yushitai are not vegetarian, and your enemy is not vegetarian."
Wei Lan didn't speak. She looked at the man's expression, and felt that the appearance of this man discussing this with her so seriously was so cute.
She understood his words, but she didn't care.
Who has no shortcomings? As long as you are strong enough and your abilities are strong enough, who cares about these innocuous little things?
She worked so hard to make a woman disguise herself as a man to this day, isn't it just to not be bound by the rules of this world?
She can pursue which beauty she likes, and get it. If she wants to be together, just wait for her to work hard to reach the top, and then marry him on the red carpet for ten miles.
If you don't even have the courage to pursue a person, what kind of society can you talk about?
But naturally she wouldn't say these words. A man's vision is so little. If she speaks such pride, it will probably only scare him.
So she smiled, turned over, and lay upright: "Fine, go to sleep."
In fact, Xie Zichen still had a lot to say, but these words were blocked by this sentence, so Xie Zichen stopped saying more.
I just don’t know why. When everything calms down, his senses become extremely keen, as if the effects of the medicine in Tianjifang have not disappeared. He listened to her breathing, smelled her, and felt her Existing, I feel that all this has become particularly tempting.
He couldn't sleep a little, and froze, feeling the changes in his body.
And she still didn't know it, she didn't know anything.
He listened to her breathing become even and fell into a deep sleep.
Her sleeping posture is always standard and elegant, with her hands naturally placed between her abdomen, without moving half a minute.
The moonlight fell on her face, gentle and holy. He just looked sideways and looked far away, and he seemed to have great satisfaction.
He breathed heavily, stretched out his hand to hold himself, and looked at each other quietly.
When everything was over, Xie Zichen leaned on the bed, and his whole body fell into depression.
He stood up, walked out quietly, walked around to the side of the dry well behind the yard, and poured buckets of well water from himself. While drenching, recite the Tao Te Ching these meditation and nourishing scriptures.
After he was cleaned, he put on a chill, changed his clothes and returned to the house.
His movements have been very light, and he has never been able to disturb the opponent. He was lying next to her, just looking at her in silence. They were separated by ten feet, but he could not touch her.
So Xie Zichen suddenly understood what is meant by Zhi Chi Tian Ya.
Perhaps the moonlight was too gentle and the night was too sultry. When the sorrow and sorrow overwhelmed his heart, he approached her in a ghostly manner, and carefully and solemnly kissed her on the forehead.
Like a dragonfly, she never noticed it.
After doing all this carefully, Xie Zichen finally calmed down. He lay on the bed and looked straight up until his eyes were sore and he finally closed his eyes.
When Wei Lan woke up the next day, she felt very relieved.
Because she opened her eyes with the realization that she would be awakened by Xie Zichen, she actually found that Xie Zichen's sleeping posture was much gentler this time.
He still rolled into her bed, but this time, he was not too bold, but like a little animal, curled up slightly, leaning his head on her shoulder, sleeping soundly and earnestly.
Wei Lan couldn't help but smiled and said gently, "Zichen, get up and study."
Xie Zichen opened his dim eyes. The moment he saw Wei Lan's face, he froze. But soon, he adjusted himself, straightened up, and got out of bed blankly.
After washing, the two of them went out of the room together. Everyone was obviously absent from the lesson this morning. Su Cheng seemed to be very happy, letting the fan keep spinning in his hands. He was happy, and his companions were naturally happy. The whole morning All are in high spirits. But Su Cheng was happy. The prince was obviously nervous and serious. From time to time, the prince glanced out the window, as if waiting for something.
Xie Qing also noticed everyone's absent-mindedness, so he left early morning class for everyone. As soon as Xie Qing left, the prince hurried away with people, and Su Cheng gave everyone a wink, and his people quickly left.
Only the two of them were left in the room for an instant. Wei Lan pretended not to know anything, and usually packed up the books. This is a little and hurried in, with a calm expression: "His Royal Highness, Master Zhang participated in Xu Cheng this morning. Regarding water conservancy, Your Majesty has asked the Criminal Ministry to file a case."
Hearing this, Wei Lan didn't change her face, put the book aside, looked up at Su Cheng, with a smile: "His Royal Highness thought that a mere Wanrong could threaten me?"
"Oh?" Su Cheng showed curiosity. "Shizi has a countermeasure?"
"This is of course." Wei Lan smiled: "How can I be willing to let my relationship with His Highness be dusted? I will help His Highness." She half straightened up, approached him, and lowered her voice: "It was never because of threats. ."
"What's the reason for that?" Su Cheng raised her eyebrows, and Wei Lan raised her hand, touching Su Cheng's Ruyu face, and said softly, "Because of you."
"His Royal Highness My Heart, does your Highness ever understand?"
