Chapter Seventy-One: Catching the Snake

The room was silent, so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing, and the cry of the pearl falling under the window seemed to be louder, but at this moment, their hearts were calm and peaceful.

At this moment, fingertip to fingertip, it was the closest distance between hearts, as if the previous ones were flying away, as if they had happened a long time ago, and those angers, those hostilities, and those quarrels were all whistling away into the distance like lightning flashing.

Leng Yixiu remembered the black shadow last night, he didn't startle the snake yesterday, he wanted to see what the other party wanted to do, but he didn't expect that something happened in the Red Sleeve Garden first.

"What are you thinking?" Rong Xi saw that he was slightly distracted, and his eyes became deeper, and he couldn't help asking.

"Someone came to visit the house last night, you went to bed early, you were already asleep when I came, and you went to the back garden by yourself without disturbing you, and you met it," Leng Yixiu's tone was a little annoyed, and a little guilty, "That person fell in Su Ting's yard, I didn't alarm them, I wanted to secretly move, who knows......"

Rong Xi immediately understood what he meant, "You mean, today's incident is related to last night's?" ”

"It's just a guess, it's not sure yet," Leng Yixiu turned his eyes to look at her, his eyes shining, "What do you think?" ”

Rong Xi smiled slightly, his gaze fluctuating like water ripples in the sun, "Just like you, the dark soldiers don't move, just wait and see." ”

"But," Leng Yixiu's gaze swept over the bowl of soup, and suddenly sharpened, "These bad tricks have been used in your eating, it's really hateful!" ”

"Don't worry, tomorrow at the latest, it will definitely come out," Rong Xi said firmly, "Just remember to watch the show then." ”

"Rong Xi ......" Leng Yixiu's voice softened a little, and his eyes could swing out of the water affectionately, "Is this your invitation to this king?" ”

"Do you believe it yourself?" Rong Xi rolled his eyes, and the sly smile on the corner of his mouth was like a smug fox, "Every time you have a weak heart, you will talk about this king, not me." ”

Leng Yixiu was slightly stunned, and then he was ecstatic in his heart, he leaned over slightly, and his face was closer to Rong Xi's, "You even noticed this?" ”

His warm breath was close at hand, a faint and refreshing fragrance rushed to his face, and his eyes were soft, like a green bamboo on the clouds, slowly overflowing with a cool fragrance.

Rong Xi wanted to hide back, his palm flipped over, his big hand supported the back of her head, her hair was simply pulled up, the tentacles were silky and slippery, black waterfall flowed down between his fingers, hair fluttered, blooming gorgeously between his fingers.

How could her head be so round and so small? The strength of his fingers couldn't help but be soft and soft, for fear that one would accidentally touch her, his gaze looked into her eyes, her eyes were extremely black and bright, like black agate soaked in spring water, crystal bright but wrapped in a layer of moist luster, he could even see his own shadow in her eyes.

"Are you going to starve me?" Just when Leng Yixiu wanted to add another romance to this rare moment of warmth, Rong Xi looked at him and suddenly spoke.

Leng Yixiu's fingers trembled, his straight waist seemed to have been punched in the waist, he looked at her mischievous smile, and couldn't help gritting his teeth with hatred, "Rong Xi, your kung fu is really getting more and more sophisticated." ”

"Where, where, not as good as one of the prince's shameless thick black." Rong Xi curled the corners of his lips in response.

The two of them kept arguing, but the meal was relaxed and happy, Rong Xi was a little sleepy after eating, yawning again and again, Leng Yixiu saw that she was really sleepy and wanted to rest, and she no longer bothered her.

He went back to the study, closed the door, and the sunlight came in through the window, casting speckled shadows on the ground, and the faint shadows on the bluestone bricks floated, like Leng Yixiu's eyes at the moment.

He clapped his hands, and a shadow shot in through the window.

"Master."

"Go check the details of that mother-in-law." Leng Yixiu commanded in a cold voice.

"Yes." The man stooped back the way he came, as if nothing had happened.

Leng Yixiu's heart at the moment is like a cold stone, he has never been an amorous person, the softness in his heart is only for the person who should be facing it, he takes care of it carefully, but some people are deliberately trying to destroy, so how can he endure it?

The wind was gusting outside, the leaves rustled, he sat in the wide chair with his eyes closed, his fingers gently caressing the armrest, the rustling sound outside reminded him of the guns and knives on the battlefield, the two armies fighting, the spears and swords collided with sparks, blood splashed, stained all over the battle robes.

Now, the years of blood and fire on the battlefield are gone, and he is always in the capital and calculates as an enemy, and there has never been a moment of relaxation, Rong Xi's appearance made him have an unexpected surprise, and his tense nerves were slightly relaxed, but now, the tip of those conspiracies is aimed at Rong Xi.

He absolutely does not allow it!

Rong Xi slept until the afternoon, and after waking up, she ate some snacks, and after a short lunch, she felt a little sleepy, which made her very puzzled, could it be that she was negligent and still moved? Otherwise, why are you always so sleepy? Even if your body was overtired some time ago, it won't be tired like this, right?

However, other than that, she didn't feel any other discomfort, was she too suspicious? Before Rong Xi finished thinking about it, he felt that the two layers of eyelids were constantly fighting, and he couldn't help but fall asleep again.

When she woke up again, it was already daylight, Rong Xi moved a little, and the feeling of sleeping was really very good, she experienced it carefully, and there was indeed no other discomfort, so she put her mind at ease for the time being.

The sunlight outside the window has shone in, and it is another bright morning, and she looks at the warm sunlight in the house, and she feels a little warm in her heart.

Hearing her movements, Xiao'er hurriedly walked over, lowered her voice and said, "Miss, the slave has seen it, today's soup is the same as yesterday's, and it still appears on the list you wrote yesterday." ”

"Well, in that case, let's get ready to catch the snake." Rong Xi jumped out of bed, so that those who wanted to assassinate themselves could get some due lessons, she had always been more interested.

After she washed, the rice had been put on the table, and she glanced at the soup, which was simmered pork with black plum, which was also fragrant, Rong Xi gave Xiao'er a look, Xiao'er understood, walked to the door, and whispered a few words to a little girl.

The little girl ran away, and there was not much time, so Mama Zhao walked in from outside, still glanced at the soup first, and then said: "I've seen the princess, I don't know if today's soup is to the princess's appetite?" ”

"It's not bad," Rong Xi nodded, his tone was light, and he couldn't hear anything.

Mama Zhao couldn't help but wonder a little in her heart, this princess always said that her soup was well done, but ...... Why hasn't there been a response yet? Is this not working? She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart.

"Mama Zhao, how many years have you been in the palace?" Rong Xi stirred the soup and asked softly.

"Back to the princess, it's been five years," Mama Zhao replied truthfully, although she didn't know what Rong Xi suddenly asked her what this meant, but she didn't dare not tell the truth.

"Oh, five years, not a short time," Rong Xi seemed to sigh something, she raised her head slightly, her eyes were far away, she didn't know what she was thinking, but her tone like this, the long tail note, made Mama Zhao feel as if there was a silk thread pulling the tip of her heart, pulling it painfully.

"How is the palace treating you?" Rong Xi's eyes looked faintly, the light under her eyes flashed, and Mama Zhao didn't know why, she suddenly shook slightly, as if she had been pricked by a needle.

"Okay," Mama Zhao lowered her head, her voice was slightly deep, "The old slave works in the palace, many people are greedy, and the old slave is also very grateful, and is willing to be a cow and a horse for the palace for a lifetime." ”

"Oh?" Rong Xi's voice was light and cool, like fine snow on a winter day, "So what? ”

"So ......?" Mama Zhao muttered a sentence, her eyes were confused, she really didn't understand what Rong Xi meant, why did she always feel that the princess's words were profound?

"So you're faithful to your master?" Rong Xi smiled faintly, and the ridicule in his eyes flashed.

"Exactly," Mama Zhao didn't understand the meaning of these words, she straightened her back, and her face was righteous and awe-inspiring, "The old slave will be loyal and will never give up." ”

Never give up......

Rong Xi narrowed his eyes, this is really not like a word that an old mother in the backyard can say, nor can a side concubine who was raised in the deep boudoir and married into the palace can say, it seems that this matter is indeed complicated.

"Is the master you are referring to this princess, or Su Ting?" Rong Xi was not interested in going around with her anymore, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he asked directly.

This simple and real question, like a knife flashing with a chill, "snorted" and went straight to Mama Zhao's heart, the piercing coldness instantly swept her, she opened her mouth wide in shock, her two eyes almost popped out, and only one voice roared in her head: "She knows?" She got it? ”

"Princess!" Mama Zhao knelt down with a "plop", her knees slammed on the bluestone bricks, and the dull sound made people's hearts feel bored, "Of course, the old slave is the master of the princess!" Don't dare to have two hearts! ”

As soon as Xiao'er heard this, her face turned red with anger, and her eyes widened, she was really ashamed of this old woman, and now she dares to talk nonsense with her eyes open!

Rong Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, a cold smile appeared on his face, there seemed to be a little smile in his eyes, and suddenly disappeared again, and the black clouds rolled in without warning, leaving only boundless darkness and coldness.

"Then Mama Zhao, you should explain to this princess, what is the blue and black on your fingers that can't be washed off this morning?!" Rong Xi's voice suddenly became sharp, and the gentleness between them changed, and the gentle spring seemed to be cold, mixed with a biting chill, which made people tremble.

When Mama Zhao heard this, the fingers that were tightly constricted in her sleeves shrank back.
