The capital, the Imperial Palace.

Diligent Palace.

Under the leadership of the old eunuch, Si Li stepped into the hall that represented the power of the Great Jin Dynasty with a blank face, and it was empty, except for the majestic man who was more than half a hundred years old and gray-haired and gray-haired and sat on the highest seat, the entire hall was empty.

This was the second time Si Li had seen this man, and the last meeting was too coincidental and hasty, and he didn't take a good look at him. Look carefully, in fact, the eyebrows and eyes of the fifth prince Si Yu are more like him, sparse and atmospheric, hidden murderous intentions, and his facial features are upright and three-dimensional.

It's just that compared to Si Yu, the person in front of him is obviously more majestic, his eyes are as deep as a long abyss, just looking at him, it seems to be completely seen through, all the scheming, conspiracies, and secrets are not hidden, and the momentum of a long-standing position is difficult to resist even if it is a person with high martial arts - this has nothing to do with profound internal strength and experience, but a kind of wordless, but extremely heavy might.

Si Li subconsciously became cautious and met the man's gaze fearlessly.

“…… Good! Emperor Yanping suddenly laughed, "What courage, worthy of being my son!" ”

Seeing enough, Si Li silently looked away, stood with his eyes down, and did not answer, as if if he said something, it would be a solid relationship between the two.

"The Xuantian Sect Leader taught you well." Emperor Yanping sighed, "However, the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes is too much, and when I see me, I am unwilling to salute." ”

“……”

Hearing him mention the Xuantian Sect Master, the strings in Si Li's mind tightened even tighter, and finally knelt down slowly, and reluctantly spoke, "...... The grass people are separated and have seen the saint. ”

Emperor Yanping looked at him deeply, and he didn't know if he was dissatisfied with his self-profess, or because of his attitude, he lost his mind for a while before he was reminded by the old eunuch to be exempted. Seeing him stand up again, with a straight figure and a stern face, he couldn't help but sigh again.

"Li'er is blaming his father?"

Si Li hung his head and said dryly, "The grass people don't dare." The grass people just felt that it was too hasty to determine the identity of the grass people just by their looks and the bracelet. ”

"That's what I gave to your mother." Emperor Yanping's voice was low, "You are the same age as Li'er, and the days of your disappearance are also similar, and that face is also very similar to that of the queen...... You are my son, the crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, do you think that I dare to draw conclusions without investigation? ”

Si Li pursed his lips and was silent.

Of course he knew this, and even knew that the emperor had already asked Shen Qi about it, and carefully inquired about the scene when he picked him up back then. If it weren't for all of them, how could a dignified Jin monarch recognize an unidentified person?

He was just a fluke.

"What's more......" Emperor Yanping spoke, his tone a little more nostalgic, "Even if you don't have that bracelet, I can identify you with just your face." ”

Si Li pursed his lips, "It's not like there are similar people in the world without ......"

"No, that's different." Emperor Yanping interrupted him, "Liang Wende, bring that painting." ”

The old eunuch replied respectfully, came to the bookshelf, raised his hand and took a scroll from the top, carefully unfolded it and brought it to Si Li, it was the picture of a beautiful woman in the winter scenery that Xi Yutang and Yue Qingfeng had seen.

Si Li glanced at it indifferently, and in the next second, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked directly at the face of the woman in the painting, and instantly lost his mind.

Emperor Yanping looked at him in his eyes, and a trace of relief appeared in his eyes.

After a long time, Si Li came back to his senses, and Liang Wende didn't know when he had put the painting down and stood back beside Emperor Yanping. He glanced up at the emperor who was high above, opened his mouth, but failed to say a word.

He knew it was a foregone conclusion.

He has been by Xi Yutang's side for nine years in Xuantian, Xuantian is in a difficult situation, and he is naturally not a child living in an ivory tower. On the contrary, he knows a lot, and the reason why he has always been innocent is only because the sect leader likes him like this.

The sect leader has always hoped that he can have a carefree childhood, saying that when he grows up, he will be an adult, he has to face cruelty, face helplessness, and face many involuntary bodies in reality, and can no longer stick to her like a child, nor can he act as he pleases, so he cherishes his youth extraordinarily. But she is a very contradictory person, she does not object to her exposure to drugs, and she will teach herself to learn martial arts, and she never avoids it, and she wants him to keep a pure heart like a child, and she can't wait to instill in him all the ways of survival.

How can a child with a pure heart survive in the treacherous and dangerous rivers and lakes?

It's naïve, it's actually the sect leader and not him.

Now the Sect Master has put the choice in his hands, but in reality, he has only one way to go. He can recognize the reality, how can the sect leader not be able to recognize it?

Push him away, just for his good.

Emperor Yanping has no shortage of sons, but he still chooses to recognize himself openly and honestly, and the meaning of this is obvious.

Si Li couldn't resist.

Xuantian couldn't resist.

Looking at the ever-changing face of the young man standing straight at the foot of the steps, Emperor Yanping waited patiently with his feet in his chest.

He has always been very patient, and now when it comes to his sister-in-law, who has been missing for many years, he has paid more attention to it.

Si Li is his son, and he knows that he will eventually recognize the reality.

I don't know how long it took, Si Li exhaled a long breath, as if he had decided something, and said in a dumb voice, "...... I haven't said goodbye to the sect leader in person, she is ...... to me There is a life-saving grace. ”

When the words fell, Emperor Yanping knew that he had waited for an answer, and the power between his eyebrows and eyes was retracted, and he smiled. He got up and walked down the steps, came to the young man, patted his thin but solid shoulder with his big hand, knowing that his son, who had been living in the folk for many years, was talking to him about the conditions, and decided to give him a reassurance.

"Don't worry, I will be grateful to Xi Yutang, if it weren't for him, my son would not be so good."

＃＃＃

Xi Yutang didn't know that the right protector of his family had invisibly eliminated a very likely disaster for her, after Si left, she was in an anxious, irritable, extremely impatient, no matter who was in a state of being on the spot, the whole person was restless, couldn't eat, couldn't drink medicine, went out, walked to the door and walked back, and finally could only sit silently in the house and sulk without saying a word, while despising that his heart was not broad enough, saying that he would let Si leave, and now regret it, while convincing herself that she was doing the right thing.

…… But after all, there are still some regrets.

What is the palace compound?

Now is the time when the momentum of seizing the heir is in full swing, is it too dangerous for Si Li to restore his identity and recognize his ancestors at this juncture?

She should have taught him better. At least, it's better to have some scheming, isn't it?

With only a good kung fu and a talent for making drugs, is it enough to play?

If something happens to Si Lizhen, can she protect it?

That's the child she's been raising for almost a decade......

The more Xi Yutang thought about it, the more he regretted it, and the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, but he couldn't intercept people from the palace, so in anger, he not only dropped the medicine bowl, but even the things in the house were messed up.

Knowing that she was worried, Shen Qi, Leng Yi and Shaoguang were also worried, but no one dared to show it in front of her, for fear that when she saw Xuantian's people, she would miss Si Li even more, and she would be more anxious, so she had to hide far away. Originally, the three of them discussed and asked Young Master Lan to come over to deal with her, but since Xi Yulan heard Shen Qi finish talking about the origin of Xi Yutang's cold poison, she was so guilty that she almost wanted to commit suicide to apologize, she had no face to see her sister, and she was reluctant to stay too far away from her, so she simply lived in the stronghold of Tingyu Pavilion in the capital.

He's finished his needle, and now he's at the stage of self-recovery, so if he can stand up and walk in front of his sister normally, she will be happy, right?

Si left, Shen Qi and the others didn't dare to shake in front of Xi Yutang, Xi Yulan hid out again, and in the end, only Yue Qingfeng was left in the entire courtyard to face the irritability from his sweetheart.

…… The less the Lord said, the heart is so tired.

What's even more intoxicating is that on the night of the Lantern Festival, because of Xi Yutang's delivery of the lamp, the rumors finally rose.

As the most prosperous city in the entire Great Jin Dynasty, where three powerful officials were killed by a fall, there is never a shortage of gossip. Compared with those powerful people who live on the cusp of the storm all the year round, the young master of the first family of the Great Jin Dynasty is simply a silt but not stained, clear ripples but not demons. As the young master of the Yue family, even if he is not in the capital all the year round, and has lived in a simple place for many years, but every move still cannot escape people's attention, not to mention being given a lantern, that is, the young master accidentally says that he likes a certain dish in Wangxiang Tower, which can attract the attention of countless people.

And the young master of the Yue family was given a lantern by a man in front of the public at the first lantern meeting in early November, and as soon as the thing he accepted came out, it almost swept the entire capital like a whirlwind, and even more, the news was spread on the rivers and lakes, and for a while, everyone in the world knew about the young master of the Yue family's habit of breaking his sleeves, and at the same time began to ask the person who gave him the lantern in a different way.

According to insiders, the person who delivered the lamp was the younger brother of the master of the same school, and some people said that the other party was a woman dressed as a man, and her real identity was the Xuantian Holy Maiden, and some people had a big brain, and they actually thought that person was simply the master of the Xuantian Sect!

Although many people subconsciously chose not to believe it, they couldn't stand the fact that there were so many people present at the time, so Miss Xie Wan left crying, and it is unknown whether Miss Xie likes the younger master or the 'junior brother'.

Although the atmosphere of this dynasty is open, this matter is still a little too shocking. People's eyes are bright, that night lantern festival, the younger Lord took the lantern with a smile on his face, and then did not shy away from the 'junior brother' hand in hand, then the table, if you don't like it, what else can you have?

But in this way, the rumors that he was courteous to the saint in order to fight with Xi Yutang were confirmed again, and for a while, everyone began to sympathize with Lan Yulai again, although he didn't say it on the surface, he still couldn't help but scold the two sentences in private, how could the less master live up to his daughter's heart so frivolously.

In just a few days, the reputation of the young master of the Yue family is like a lightning rod at the tip of the pyramid, and it is already crumbling.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the torrent has gone straight down 3,000 feet.

In the front hall of the warm jade room in the courtyard, Si Nian's eyebrows danced and said all kinds of sayings from outside to Xi Yutang pouring beans, next to Qiu Yuan ignored his master's black face, and added oil and vinegar to mend the knife, listening to Xi Xiaojiao's stunned, eye-opening, when he heard that the families knew about Yue Qingfeng's habit of breaking sleeves, there were all kinds of handsome and unique teenagers at the door of the courtyard in the past two days, either came to visit or pretended to be lost, or simply fainted at the door, the whole person laughed and fell on the soft couch, almost out of breath.

Seeing that she finally smiled, Si Nian and Qiu Yuan glanced at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

As bystanders, they had long seen the turmoil in this courtyard. From the moment they accidentally discovered that Sect Leader Xi Xiao was his daughter in Yanyutai, Jiangnan, they understood their master's thoughts, and now it seems that others don't know all the way, can they still not know? His own master is taking Xi Xiao's sect leader as a pain in his eyes, no, it may be more precious than his own eyeballs, he can't wait to dig out his heart and liver, and he will almost die.

If nothing else, the female daughter of their Yue family will not be able to run away in the future.

For those of them who are subordinates, they don't care who will be the master, what they care about is whether the young master likes it or not. But if it is really the leader of Xi Xiaojiao, it is simply to raise his hands and feet in favor - handsome, strong, no shelf, treat people very well, and he is a faction in charge, and the most important thing is that he can still eat the master to death, saying that if you go to the east, the master will not go to the west! Such characters, oh my God, begging to enter the door of Yue's house!

…… It's really not good, it's okay to be a young master!

All the secret guards of the Yue family like Xi Yutang, especially Si Nian, who has been messing with her for so long, and always accompanies her to practice swords, and has already regarded Xi Xiao Sect Leader as his own person, if Xi Xiao Sect Leader is not their hostess, he will definitely be very sad!

However, since the day when the cold poison of the Xi Xiao sect leader recurred, their master never said a word to anyone again, and he didn't climb into bed every night, so he quietly came over in the middle of the night to stand in the courtyard, standing all night, waiting for the cold in the warm jade room to dissipate, and then went back to rest in obscurity, worried and angry, and didn't know who he was torturing.

Now that Si is gone, Sect Leader Xi is in a bad mood and injured, and even the atmosphere of the entire courtyard is extremely depressing. Young Master Lan and Doctor Shen were afraid of making her angry, so they could hide, but only their young master was left, and after thinking about it, they still couldn't help but come over to accompany them, even if they were thrown coldly, they had to take it.

As a subordinate, shouldn't you share one or two with your master?

…… So there's the scene above.

Si Nian and Qiu Yuan can see it accurately, as long as the little sect leader Xi is happy, their master will be happy, so what's the point of telling the truth......

"There have been a lot of young men at the door lately?" Xi Yutang's eyes looked at Si Nian brightly.

The latter nodded bitterly.

On the other side, Yue Qingfeng, who was silently playing against himself, had a darker face.

"Hahaha......" Xi Yutang couldn't help but burst out laughing, "No, no, no, hey, I'm laughing to death...... Si Nian, help this seat, this seat wants to go out to see beautiful men! Let's see which one you young master likes, I'll help pick one, hahahaha......"

"Poof......" Qiu Yuan accidentally laughed.

Yue Shao's eyes were raised, and he looked at Qiu Yuan coldly, and the latter's body suddenly stiffened, and he didn't catch his breath, and he couldn't hold back his violent cough.

Helped by Si Nian to sit up, Xi Yutang didn't plan to really go to see the beautiful man, seeing that Qiu Yuan's pitiful little face was red, he couldn't help but laugh for a while, so tired that he panted, and then he looked at the man opposite him unhurriedly, the latter glanced at her angrily, and continued to drop on the chessboard without saying a word.

Two bunnies with their backs to their masters......

Xi Yutang stared at him teasingly for a long time, then raised his foot and kicked the purple jade chess box next to him, "Okay, who is this face for, you didn't make this matter yourself?" ”

The less the main head was raised, and silently reached out to take the chess box to the other side.

“……”

Seeing that he was in a temper, Xi Yutang was amused, "Yue Suxi, if you don't speak again, I will really go to the door to see the young man?" ”

Falling to the ground, Yue Qingfeng said coolly, "What can I say?" Didn't everyone finish the doxxing words? ”

"What kind of doxxing, it's gossip, not your old bottom." Xi Yutang glanced at him and said lazily, "You say, have you already sentenced these two boys to death in your heart?" ”

The less the Lord is silent.

Si Nian and Qiu Yuan suddenly looked at her pitifully.

Xi Yutang suddenly laughed, "Okay, don't punish me, they're also making me happy." ”

…… I've never seen anyone who makes people happy with his master's troubles.

Yue Qingfeng did not speak with a cold face.

Seeing his aggrieved appearance, Xi Yutang pouted, "If you don't speak, I'll let Shaoguang invite all those outside the door in." ”

“……”

Putting down the chess pieces helplessly, Yue Qingfeng looked at her unlovingly, "Can you not mention those outside the door?" ”

Xi Yutang pursed his lips vigorously and nodded, but he still accidentally broke his skills and laughed again.

Yue Qingfeng: "......"

Seeing that he almost threw off his sleeves and left, Sect Leader Xi hurriedly grabbed the cuffs of the person, and apologized while laughing, "Okay, don't talk about it, when did you become so thin-skinned?" ”

"You try?" Yue Qingfeng glared at her angrily.

"Me? Are you sure? The flirtatious master blinked at him.

“……”

The less the Lord felt that he was going to be to death.

Xi Yutang pulled the person back and comforted him in a good voice, "Okay, what's so angry about this, this shows that we are so popular, even men can't refuse your charm, right?" ”

…… Can you say that?

Yue Qingfeng had goosebumps all over his body, and after a while, he said coolly, "Really?" What about you? ”

Xi Yutang: "......"

Shoot yourself in the foot, deserve.

Grinning dryly, Sect Leader Xi began to change the subject, "You've been sitting here all day, just to quarrel with me and show your face?" ”

…… If you can't say it, just run, Xi Yutang, you can really do it!

Yue Qingfeng gritted his teeth, and after a while, he said lightly, "I don't know who doesn't drink or eat." ”

"......" Xi Yutang choked for a moment, seeing that he seemed to be really angry, he suddenly softened his temper again, "I don't have an appetite......"

Yue Qingfeng looked at her fixedly, and after a while, he sighed almost inaudibly, "Don't worry too much, at most tomorrow, there will be news from the Qinzheng Palace." ”

When the words fell, Xi Yutang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really? ”

The person opposite raised an eyebrow.

Reading the deep meaning in his eyes, Sect Leader Xi cleared his throat in embarrassment and looked at Qiu Yuan, "That, Xiaomei said that my medicine ......"

Qiu Yuan reacted very quickly, and when he landed his spine, he said loudly, "I know where it is, I'll go hot!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Si Nian without saying a word, and the two ran out in an instant.

Waiting for everyone to run away, Xi Yutang turned his head to meet the gaze of the person in front of him and blinked innocently.

…… It's also good!

The less the Lord rubbed his brow tiredly.

Unable to resist her insistence, Yue Qingfeng told the news he had gotten.

Xi Yutang listened silently, was silent for a while, and said unclearly, "...... Are you saying that you are planning to restore the status of the crown prince today? ”

The clearer the breeze.

"The other princes didn't object?"

"Emperor Yanping's attitude is very resolute." He shook his head, "Si Li is the only concubine of the former queen, and the incident back then was framed by someone, and now he plans to turn over the old accounts." I understand your worries, don't worry for the time being, since you can make this decision, that person naturally has a way to protect his boss. ”

Xi Yutang was silent about this.

After a while, she said softly, "Will Si Li live in the East Palace?" ”

There is a dungeon under the east palace, and there is Zhuo Zhengyang in the dungeon. Although their hard break had already alarmed Ziwei Tower, it was difficult to guarantee that Zhuo Zhengyang would not quietly transfer, but even so, if there was such a place, she would never rest assured that Si Li would enter the East Palace.

"It's up to Si Li." Yue Qingfeng also thought of this, "If the East Palace is in disrepair and needs to be renovated for a long time, it is reasonable to live in other dormitories temporarily." ”

Far water can't save the near fire, Xi Yutang sighed silently, and a sense of powerlessness swept through his body.

Yue Qingfeng took her look into her eyes, her eyes softened, and she leaned over and hugged the person into her arms, and her cool fingers passed through her waterfall-like hair on the back of her head, pressing the person on his shoulder.

"Every man has his own fate, and since you have made a decision, believe that he has this power. Even if you want to help, at least make sure you're alive...... Tang Tang, Shen Qi said about the cold poison, I think, are you thinking about the retreat again? ”

This is the first time he has spread out the matter of cold poison between the two, and the caution and hope in it made Xi Yutang feel a trace of guilt in his heart, and his forehead was against Yue Qingfeng's shoulder socket, only to feel tired.

"Actually, I'm a little scared of ......," she muffled.

Although she wants to retreat, she doesn't care about cold poison, but in recent days, every time she thinks about it, the appearance of the old monster in the cold pool always flashes in her mind. Although she told herself over and over again that it was because Zhuo Zhengyang had practiced the wrong exercises, so that others were not ghosts and ghosts, but when she thought that even if she practiced wrongly, it was the Taichu Chu Sutra, she couldn't help but feel extremely frightened.

The way of practicing martial arts has never been too careful. But no matter how careful she is, she may go on a business trip, not to mention the magic skill of Taichu, even if she doesn't make a mistake, in the end, if there is no good way to solve the hidden danger of going crazy, what awaits her is still a dead end.

Will she ever ...... Turned into an old monster too?

For the first time, she was hesitant and fearful about the path she was going to take.

Yue Qingfeng broke into the cold pool dormitory that day, killing all the way to numbness, and after saving Xi Yutang by luck, he didn't dare to hesitate to take people away immediately, only glanced at the scene inside, and the white air of the cold pool blocked people's sight, but in fact, he didn't see the whole picture of Zhuo Zhengyang. So at this time, Xi Yutang suddenly said that he was afraid, he was a little stunned, he only thought of the hidden danger of the primordial magic skill, but he never thought about what she was really afraid of.

Xi Yutang didn't want to sue him either. The appearance of the old monster, she didn't dare to say.

She was afraid of a prophecy.

The hand around her tightened, and Yue Qingfeng patted her back, "Then slow down, you said that although Zhuo Zhengyang went crazy, he won't be able to die for a while, so we still have time, right?" Besides, there is no Su Jiu Needle Decision in the palace, and I suspect that the lower half is actually in the Ziwei Building...... Shall I accompany you then? ”

Xi Yutang didn't answer, and nodded slightly after a while.

She broke free from Yue Qingfeng's arms and reluctantly hooked the corners of her mouth, "Then wait for Si Li to settle down first." ”

Feeling the residual temperature of his fingertips with a little regret, the younger the master nodded, and just wanted to say something, Si Nian suddenly showed his figure outside the door.

"Master, there is a guest, the subordinates did not stop it, and the person has arrived outside the hospital."

Hearing this, Yue Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and looked out the door. Xi Yutang was also stunned, slowly raised his eyelids, and looked at him in line of sight, slightly surprised.

I saw that at the gate of the courtyard, Wei Han, who was dressed in a navy blue suit, was standing with a sword in a murderous manner, looking at the row of Yue family secret guards who appeared in front of him with a cold face. As if sensing the sight of the two, he raised his head, his sharp gaze passed through the courtyard, skimmed over the jade face of Yue Qingfeng, and fell straight on the face of Xi Yutang, who was dressed in men's clothes.

That face, not wearing a mask.

He opened his mouth without hesitation, "Lan Yu, long time no see." ”
