"What are you going to do?" Xu Xiujin looked at him worriedly.

Xiao Qi still ignored him and walked directly outside the house.

Xu Xiujin was anxious and stopped him, "It's midnight, don't tell me that I'm going to find her!"

"Get out of the way." Xiao Qi looked at him impatiently.

"Don't let it go." Xu Xiujin looked as if he was ready to die, as if he was saying: If you want to come out of this door today, you must step over my body!

Xiao Qi was too lazy to mess with him, so he pushed him away with his hands, "I'll go find Xiao Ming, please calm me down."

Xu Xiujin was stunned, and then suddenly realized, "Is the letter talking about Xiao Ming?"

Xiao Qi nodded. He knew that Xu Xiujin would ask questions, so he handed him the letter, "Xiao Ming's illness is fake."

"Ah?" Xu Xiujin was also surprised, quickly took the letter, glanced at it briefly, and jumped up excitedly, "Whatever I said, what if I said, I knew that Xiao Ming was unfathomable, and he was not as simple as his appearance!"

Xiao Qi frowned, "Don't make a conclusion so quickly, this matter has not been found out yet." He still didn't want to believe that Xiao Ming would deceive him.

Xu Xiujin snorted disdainfully, "You just keep deceiving yourself! I know you are not favored by Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao, but you can't be heartless about Xiao Ming just because he didn't bully him, right? Is this letter still fake? He can't even notice that he is not sick? Or is it because Lin Zhaoyan deliberately lied to you with the goal of provoking your brothers' relationship?"

Xiao Qi's eyes flashed, and he turned his mind: "Zhao'er won't lie to me."

"But Xiao Ming wouldn't lie to me, either." Xiao Qi said again: "There must be something wrong with this."

Xiao Qi is not a person who will change his original intentions because of a few words from others. He believes that Xiao Ming will not regard him as his enemy without substantial evidence.

In a person's life, rights and status are important, but since he is a human being, he has feelings for Xiao Ming.

Xu Xiujin frowned and stared at him helplessly and angrily.

"Mu Qing, you have a wide connection. Go and help me check who Prince Xiao has been close to recently, and Princess Xiao, so I will investigate her carefully." Xiao Qi did not give Xu Xiujin a chance to refute it again, so he simply left him the opportunity to find the truth, otherwise he would still not want to believe Xiao Ming. "For this matter, maybe Xiao Ming is also a victim. Even if he is not, he will have to wait until the truth is found out before he can talk about it."

After working together for so many years, how could Xu Xiujin not understand what Xiao Qi was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Since you are not giving up before the Yellow River, I will go and check it for you, but you'd better be mentally prepared."

"I understand." Xiao Qi patted his back. His mood was self-evident, "I'm going."

Xu Xiujin didn't say anything else and watched him leave.

When Xiao Qi arrived at Xiao Ming's yard, the banquet in the front yard had not yet ended.

When the maids who left behind saw him, they hurriedly took him to the inner room to wait, and then served tea and poured water, which was very attentive.

When Xiao Qi sat in the warm room holding the hot tea, smelling the incense that was floating in the air, the mood that was shocked by the letter gradually calmed down.

This is a treatment that is not available in other places in the royal palace.

He is with Xiao Ming, so he doesn't have to inform him, don't have to wait, and don't have to suffer hypocritical perfunctory, because they have been very good brothers since childhood. Even the maids know it.

If he had been to Princess Xiao today and Princess Xiao was not here, he would not even be able to step into the yard for a second, which would have been a waste of time.

"Master, this incense slave has helped you extinguish it. Do you want to open the window for breathing?" The sudden voice recalled Xiao Qi's thoughts.

When he came to his senses, he realized that it was a maid in Xiao Ming's house. He didn't remember the name, but he often came in to serve.

Seeing that Xiao Qi seemed a little confused, the maid explained, "Don't the eldest young master don't like this kind of incense? I don't know you're coming, so I kept burning it for the second young master to return. But now you're here, I'll wipe it out, but there's still a smell in the room. Do you want to open the window for some breath?"

Xiao Qi then suddenly realized.

In the past, whenever he came back to Xiao Ming's house, he was so irritated by the smell of incense. It is said that Princess Xiao specially paid a lot of money to collect incense from the Western Regions, which could be solid. Xiao Ming kept burning because he didn't want his house to be full of Chinese medicine. However, every time he came, he would ask the maid to extinguish the incense, and he could see how he didn't like it.

I didn't expect that this maid could remember such a trivial thing. It seems that Xiao Ming is really popular.

Yes, it was Xiao Ming who won the hearts of the people, not him, Xiao Qi.

He believed that if Xiao Ming had not shown his dependence, trust and closeness on him, this maid would never have taken the initiative to extinguish it just because he didn't like incense.

After all, it is personal to know which position is more important to the royal palace.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi's trust in Xiao Ming was a little more.

He never questioned his vision of looking at people. Maybe Xiao Ming's scheming was indeed serious, but he would never use it on him.

"Big Young Master?" Seeing that he had not responded for a long time, the maid spoke tentatively. After all, in this winter, there was a cold wind outside, and she dared not make decisions without authorization.

Xiao Qi came to his senses completely and waved his hand and said, "No need, this smell is not very heavy."

He really felt that the smell was still the same as before, but for some reason, it was not as unbearable as before.

He couldn't help but ask, "Second Young Master has changed to incense?"

The maid shook her head, "I didn't change the words of the eldest master, but it was the Western Regions incense they used to incense."

"I understand, you go down!" Xiao Qi nodded, feeling a little strange. He clearly felt that the smell was different.

But he didn't think much about it, thinking that it might be because the smell of medicine was gone in the house.

After sitting there for a while, Xiao Ming returned to the yard after the banquet.

He wore a moon-white robe, a jade belt, a jade hairpin on his head, and a silver mask specially made by Princess Xiao for him, covering half of his face that was burned by the fire. He recovered from his injuries and looked a little weak and thin, looking tall and upright, and handsome.

Anyone who sees it, I have to praise you, what a handsome young man!

It was not until this moment that Xiao Qi suddenly realized that his younger brother had grown up, and the younger brother who had relied on him and liked to pester him since childhood had grown up.

In the past, it was probably because he was sick and was innocent and didn't understand the world, so he felt that he was young and ignorant, and he was still the child who would never grow up.

But I ignored the fact that he was already seventeen years old.

At the age of seventeen, you can get married and have children.

"Brother? Why are you here?" Xiao Ming was shocked when he saw him. He hurriedly ran up to him. "Have your illness been cured? I originally wanted to see you, but my mother said you were very sick and afraid that it would be transmitted to me. I couldn't resist her. So I wanted to wait for the guests who have been dealing with these few days to secretly see you!" As he said that, he looked at him up and down, "But brother doesn't feel sick at all! Is the medicine so effective? He will be cured so quickly!"

Judging from his chirping, there was no trace of the handsome and handsome guy that had just come to the wind.

Xiao Qi looked at him seriously, and there was no trace of hypocrisy or pretending in his eyes.

So he bent his lips and smiled, "Yes. It's probably the doctor I hired. Just like you, I've been sick for more than six years, so I'd better be fine."

Xiao Ming smiled at him, "Brother is right. But I'm actually very surprised why I suddenly recovered from the illness! The eldest grandmother of the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion is really amazing. I used to feel so dizzy that I couldn't use my strength, but since I took her medicine, I felt refreshed and strong. I wish I could go out for a few laps, and I had endless strength all over my body."

"That is to make up for all your losses in the past six years!" Xiao Qi smiled and joked, but his eyes became darker.

Intuition told him that it was not Xiao Ming, definitely not Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming may have really thought he was sick before, and he was also kept in the dark. After that, who used the hands of the eldest grandmother of the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion to make Xiao Ming recover gradually, giving people the illusion that the eldest grandmother of the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion cured Xiao Ming.

If it weren't for Zhao'er's letter, he would have believed that Ma's medical skills were really superb. After all, she had a case of successfully treating Concubine Wan in the palace.

The person behind this scene cleverly took advantage of this opportunity and could be said to be seamless!

So who is behind this?

Xiao Qi almost didn't have to think deeply, and a figure appeared clearly in front of him.

Princess Xiao.

No one except Princess Xiao has such ability.

But what is the reason for her to do this?

Just to cover up the eyes and make it easier for Xiao Ming to act behind the scenes and not let the royal family be afraid?

Since that's the case, why is she trying to get him healed now?

Xiao Qi frowned unconsciously, and felt an indescribable complex feeling in his heart.

He used to think that Princess Xiao really loved Xiao Ming, and even when he was a child, he thought that it was because of Xiao Ming's birth that he stole his maternal love.

But now it seems that it is not the case at all.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but feel a chill, and a chill came from his bones.

Princess Xiao, what exactly does she want to do?

"Brother, brother!" Xiao Ming pulled his sleeves, still very excited. "You have been elusive and I have not seen you for many days! I have something very important to tell you!"

Xiao Qi was still immersed in new cognition and could not extricate himself.

If all this was really done by Princess Xiao, then Xiao Ming would be a pity, and should he tell him?

"Brother, I'm going to get married!" Just as he was struggling, Xiao Ming suddenly shouted loudly in his ear.

Xiao Qi was startled, "You, what did you say?"

"I'm going to marry a wife!" Xiao Ming repeated, smiling with a naive and brilliant look on his face. "It's Zhou Jingyu, the eldest lady of Chengnan Bo Mansion. She promised to marry me. I will marry her as soon as possible! I haven't told my mother about this yet, you are the first one!"

Xiao Qi looked at him in shock, and when he looked at his heartless and unconcealed smile, he knew that he was really moved this time.

"Do you know what it means to get married?" However, when he knew, he did not agree.

As Prince Xiao’s son, even if he is the second son, his marriage matters must be carefully considered and the greatest interests must be considered. What’s more, his eldest son is mediocre, and Xiao Ming’s second son whose reputation will soon be resounding throughout Shengjing is the top priority. His marriage matters cannot tolerate any carelessness.

Zhou Tingchen of Chengnanbo Mansion is a member of the third prince. Moreover, holding military power is of no benefit to the Xiao Mansion. Unless Prince Xiao wants to win over them, this is simply impossible according to his understanding.

Therefore, it is impossible to marry a girl from the Nanbo family.

"I know!" Xiao Ming nodded seriously, his eyes as clear as a lake, shining with moving light, "I love her, and she loves me, and we will spend the rest of our lives together in the future! Well, in the words of the book, it is called "being married and married. Being both affectionate" or "holding your hand and growing old with you" or "but getting one's heart, never getting together forever" and..."

"That's in the book!" Xiao Qi interrupted his words with a serious expression, "What you said is the most ideal love without any obstacles. But in real life, where does so many beautiful love come from? If you want to marry her, the mother will be the first to disagree."
