Chapter 166 Wen Hemian is hiding something from him
Xie Lang kissed her neck as if nothing had happened. The skin there was smooth and delicate. He had to force himself to look away so as not to leave any marks there.
It’s nothing, Wen Hemian would be angry.
As summer approaches, the weather becomes hotter and people wear thinner clothes during the day, which really leaves conspicuous traces. Firstly, Wen Hemian would be angry, and secondly, it would be not good if outsiders saw it.
Of course, there would be no second possibility. Xie Lang was too stingy to allow these traces to be seen by outsiders.
"Your hair isn't dry yet." Wen Hemian frowned and raised his hand to touch the wet ends of his hair. "Go dry it before going to bed."
Xie Lang came here in a hurry just now, and he felt a little more certain in his heart. He didn't want to rest with wet hair, so when Wen Hemian mentioned this, he took the initiative to go to the side to comb his hair.
I didn't go to bed until I was completely clean.
Ice cubes were placed in the hall to cool down the room. In order to hide his guilty feeling about hiding it from Xie Lang, Wen Hemian rarely refused his approach. Although it was still a little hot, he could still bear it.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to tell Xie Lang the truth, but the rules of the world stipulate that she cannot reveal it in any way, otherwise she will suffer serious consequences.
Sad.
Wen Hemian was so exhausted from handling official business during the day that he was so worried that he fell asleep without realizing it.
After feeling her breathing become steady and gentle, Xie Lang quietly opened his eyes in the darkness.
With the faint candlelight left in the hall, he could barely see the face of the person in his arms. She was sleeping peacefully, making people feel extremely peaceful.
But he became more and more certain that Wen Hemian was hiding something from him.
Perhaps, as he had once absurdly guessed, something was secretly watching them.
It’s not that Wen Hemian doesn’t want to tell him, but... he can’t.
Xie Lang's eyes darkened.
-
Speaking of the Imperial College, Wen Hemian has never been there properly.
She thought it would take a few more words, but she didn't expect Xie Lang to give in so quickly.
"Hanshuang, go ahead if you want to go. Those people inside also want to see you."
Wen Hemian was surprised: "You are so generous today."
Xie Lang said calmly: "This is your freedom. I, I must learn to control my temper."
"I can bear the name of a tyrant for the rest of my life, but I cannot let Han Shuang be implicated by me and have her reputation damaged."
Every word and sentence was truly written with her in mind.
Wen Hemian felt something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
After pondering for a while, she said, "It doesn't matter. You can be restrained or not in front of me."
She wanted Xie Lang to be a wise ruler, but she didn't intend to restrain his nature.
Anyway, she has seen all kinds of people, so it doesn't matter what Xie Lang does.
Hearing this, Xie Lang looked at her with a hint of sarcasm and smiled: "This is what Han Shuang said herself, you are not allowed to regret it."
"Ah."
Wen Hemian nodded and left the palace smoothly.
After she could no longer be seen, Xie Lang called in the secret guards outside the hall to ask her.
"Did you see anything sneak into the palace last night?"
The leader of the secret guards thought something was wrong, and after thinking carefully, he said, "Your Majesty, we have never seen anything sneak into the palace."
After ascending the throne, Xie Lang encountered many assassination attempts, both large and small. As the secret guards around him, they should not and could not make such low-level mistakes, not to mention that there were also the Imperial Guards defending the periphery.
Staring at the emperor's cold eyes, the secret guard broke out in a cold sweat: "...Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."
Xie Lang raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "A... cat?"
The leader of the secret guards' brain began to spin rapidly, as if something had suddenly been opened up. He was suddenly shocked: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, this is true!"
He and several of his men were on guard at the time, and they clearly saw the cat, but not only did no one think of stopping the cat, they even completely forgot about it afterwards.
It’s so evil!
The leader of the secret guards did not dare to think of excuses and could only recount everything they had experienced in detail, and then anxiously waited for his fate.
"I see."
Xie Lang narrowed his eyes and said, "Those of you who were on duty last night, go and catch all the cats in the palace. Remember, don't hurt them, and especially don't let the Master know."
Xie Lang thought carefully and realized that every cat that appeared around Wen Hemian over the years was different, but without exception, they were all very close to her.
Thinking about it now, it probably couldn't be called intimacy, but rather a disguise that I was forced to put on after he showed up.
It would be fine if you didn't doubt it, but once you start to doubt it, there are flaws everywhere.
Since the unknown being appeared in the form of a cat, he might as well take the initiative and find out what the other party wants to do.
I just don’t know if it’s the legendary ghost or a goblin.
Xie Lang must find out what is threatening.
"what?"
The leader of the secret guards was stunned for a moment, thinking that His Majesty was punishing them, and quickly thanked him: "I obey your order."
At the same time, he couldn't help but think that, as expected, with Lord Wen around, His Majesty's methods became more merciful.
Xie Lang saw that he had misunderstood, but said nothing: "Go ahead."
On the other side, Wen Hemian met the disciple of Lord Xu in the Imperial College.
The new successor to the position of Chief Academician is named Meng Hang. He is the type of person who does things quietly and has been in the Imperial College for many years. If Lord Xu had not resigned from his post and returned to his hometown to recommend him, Wen Hemian might not have noticed him.
When the other party saw Wen Hemian, he was very polite: "Sir Wen, please follow me."
After Xie Lang came to power, the Imperial College made many reforms, especially raising the admission threshold, which forced the children of nobles who had been living a life of idleness to be motivated to be more motivated. The academic atmosphere has improved a lot in recent years.
At least at first glance, they were all studying seriously.
Wen Hemian was very satisfied, and Meng Hang had a simple smile on his face: "After your majesty's reform, the Imperial College has improved a lot."
"That's right." Wen Hemian agreed.
They walked around and the class was almost over. The students went back to the dormitory or went to eat in groups of two or three. It was a lively scene.
Some people also noticed that the students were heading in one direction and took a few secret glances.
When they saw the woman standing next to the Lord Jijiu, they wondered quietly, could this also be their new female student official?
But just a glance was enough, no one dared to go near.
At the same time, Wen Hemian also met the two female school officials.
Both of them are daughters of officials, who have been well-educated since childhood and have extraordinary conversation skills.
One of them had just divorced her husband three years ago. Taking advantage of the favorable situation of women's enrollment in schools, she was fortunate enough to become a female school official. She was very grateful to Wen Hemian and said many words of thanks when they first met.
The other one was also full of admiration for Wen Hemian, and his eyes lit up when he spoke.
Wen Hemian said: "...There is no need to say more about these. In the future, you can teach more female students and let more women appear in the court. It will be a good thing."
The two female school officials looked at each other and nodded repeatedly: "Master Wen is right."
