This voice is too familiar, but it is too far away, so far that even if he really hears it at this moment, Xi Cui will wonder if it is an illusion. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info But what's wrong with his face?

Xi Cui unconsciously stepped forward a few steps to the man, reached out and groped for the cold silver mask on his face, "What's wrong with your face?" They all said you're dead, huh? What's going on here? ”

Speaking of his face, the man couldn't help but take a few steps back, covered the mask with both hands, and twisted his head to the side, "It's ugly, isn't it?" ”

"No, it's not ugly, as long as it's alive, it's good to be alive!" Xi Cui went up and turned his head over and stared into his eyes, "That's right, it's really you!" Xi Yunjian! It's great that you're alive and you're alive! Yun Ting should be so happy! It's time for the third brother to let go! It's good that you're alive......"

"I'm alive, what do you think?" Xi Yunjian threw the long sword on the ground and pinched Xi Cui's shoulders with both hands, "Yun Ting, Duan San, I naturally know what they think, but I want to know your thoughts the most!" ”

Xi Cui smiled and held his hand, broke his fingers one by one, and then slowly pulled his hand and put it on both sides of his body, "As a friend, I am naturally happy." ”

Xi Yunjian let out a laugh, but his face was hidden under the stiff silver mask, making it impossible to see his truest expression.

Xi Cui was suddenly a little scared, and instinctively walked over to Yufeng's side.

"Are you afraid of me? Because of this face? Xi Yunjian's hoarse voice came from behind, as if he was suppressing extreme anger.

"Enough! Xi Yunjian didn't know anything about Xi Cui at all, you came at me when you were angry, don't treat Xi Cui like this! Yu Feng protected Xi Cui behind him, "I know I'm sorry for you, but this is the only thing I can do!" If you ask for it, I promise you won't blink your eyes, but Xi Cui can't! ”

"When did you receive my letter?" Xi Yunjian bent down to pick up the long sword on the ground, and gently flicked the dust off the blade with his hand.

"Five days ago." Yu Feng said bluntly. When he said these words, he felt an obvious shock to Xi Cui's hand, and he knew that Xi Cui finally understood the truth of his forced marriage at that time.

"Have you read the letter?" Xi Yunjian clenched the hilt of the sword and slowly pointed the blade of the sword to this side.

"Content? I, I saw that it was your handwriting at the time, and my heart was a little ......confused" Yu Feng was asked by him before he really remembered, and he didn't seem to have time to look at what was written on the letter.

"You don't even pay attention to what I say, just worry that I'm going to rob you of Xi Cui, right? Nangong Yufeng, did I mislook at you, or did you never really think of me as your friend! After Xi Yunjian finished speaking, he swung his sword and flew away, pointing directly at Yufeng.

Facing his sword blade, Nangong Yufeng did not dodge or dodge, threw away Xi Cui's hand, and rushed forward to meet his body, Xi Yunjian's long sword was pressed against his chest, although he retracted his strength, the sharp sword blade still pierced into Yu Feng's body.

"What do you mean by that?" Xi Yunjian slowly pulled out the sword little by little, but the cold light in his eyes did not weaken.

Yu Feng glanced back at Xi Cui, "I owe you so much, I always have to find a way to pay it back, but I can't think of any other way for the time being." ”

Xi Yunjian also set his eyes on Xi Cui, and asked loudly, "Xi Cui, if I hurt him today, what would you do?" ”

Xi Cui walked in front of Yu Feng, looked at the wound on Yu Feng's body, and made sure that it was okay before turning to look at him, "Since he feels that he owes you, and he can't find any other way to pay it back, then I can only have nothing to say." But since then, we have nothing to do with it. Xi Cui took Yu Feng's hand, "You hurt my husband, you completely ignore my feelings, why should I care about a friend like you?" ”

Xi Cui's words shocked the two men present at the same time, although she knew that her determination and decisiveness never lost to any man, but when she really encountered her own affairs, she was still a little shocked to accept it.

"Hehe, Xi Cui is really still Xi Cui." Xi Yunjian put down his long sword, "That's it, this ending was what I expected." As long as you don't regret it, what else can I say? ”

"I've never been smart enough emotionally, so I'm always extra careful when making a choice, but once I do make a choice, then I trust my choice completely! I can't promise that I won't ever regret it, but even if I do regret it one day, I will never look back to you. I think you understand, whether it is you or Qi Yu, I have given you a chance, maybe our miss is a little involuntary, so I have never resented, and please relax your mind. After Xi Cui finished speaking, he pulled Yu Feng out of this courtyard.

Leaving Xi Yunjian standing alone in the sun, his long flowing hair held up by the breeze, swaying out of the wind, lonely and persistent.

Since it was a marriage given by the emperor, today it must be to enter the palace to thank him, Xi Cui pulled Yufeng back to his courtyard, helped him bandage it, changed his clothes, and the two went out.

The emperor seems to have a lot of things going on recently, and when he sees them, he is always absent-minded when he talks, so he casually dealt with a few words and sent Xi Cui to the queen mother, leaving Yu Feng to discuss things.

As for why the Queen Mother wanted to see her, Xi Cui couldn't quite figure it out. It stands to reason that she has left the Wang family, and the Queen Mother should not continue to care about her.

But as soon as she saw Princess Chaoyang sitting next to the Queen Mother, Xi Cui suddenly understood.

The Queen Mother's attitude towards Xi Cui was quite polite, although her tone was cold, she didn't mean to be embarrassed, but she only said two words and went back to rest under the pretext that she was tired, leaving Princess Chaoyang to accompany Xi Cui to talk. As soon as the Queen Mother left, Princess Chaoyang immediately changed her face, and looked at Xi Cui's eyes that could spew fire.

"You've finally become Yufeng's wife! Xi Cui, why you? Princess Chaoyang retreated, and she and Xi Cui were left in the entire hall, and they didn't even bother to do basic disguises. Shouted directly at Xi Cui, "Isn't Xi Yunjian already back?" Why are you still rushing to marry Yufeng? With your identity, with a Xi Yunjian is already considered a high climb, why are you still not satisfied, and you have to rob Yufeng with me? ”

Xi Cui probably understood some things when she said this, but the ins and outs of the matter were not very clear, so she simply didn't speak, waiting for Princess Chaoyang to continue.

"Obviously, my people have already sent the information to me, and they told me that Xi Yunjian's letter has been delivered to the Liwang Mansion, and Xi Yunjian will be able to enter Beijing in two days, why don't you wait any longer? Haven't you always liked Xi Yunjian in your heart? You protected Xi Yunting so well for him, and even you went to the southwest border to see him in person. Haven't you always been a person who values love and justice? Why can you leave your beloved Xi Yunjian behind and pass it on to others in just a few months? Or are you actually pretending all the time? The more Princess Chaoyang spoke, the more angry she became, and when she said this, she stepped in front of Xi Cui in three or two steps, raised Xi Cui's chin, and stared at her eyes, "Okay, you sinister and cunning Diao slave, now that you have deceived all the Xi family's property, you kicked Xi Yunjian away and changed the target to Yu Feng." You say, what do you want to take from Yufeng? ”

Her jaw was pinched, Xi Cui frowned, Princess Chaoyang's behavior now really made her feel pitiful and pathetic, and even a little hateful! "Princess, you have lost your temper......" Xi Cui endured the pain in her jaw, trying to arouse Princess Chaoyang's reason.

"Gaffe! I'm just out of shape, what can you do? Princess Chaoyang shook Xi Cui to the ground with a hard flick, "Do you know that I used to think that we could be friends, although you are lowly, but I don't despise you at all." But you actually took advantage of the weakness when I couldn't help myself and didn't have time to take care of Yufeng, and took my favorite! You are the most shameful betrayer I have ever met! I hate you! ”

Seeing that the more she talked, the more outrageous it became, and even delirious and even crazy, Xi Cui didn't dare to respond directly, so she had to continue to be silent.

But her silence turned Princess Chaoyang's eyes into the pride and disdain of the victors in the face of the losers. Annoyed and angry, Princess Chaoyang casually picked up something and smashed it at Xi Cui.

Xi Cui hurriedly dodged, only to hear a piercing loud noise, followed by the sound of bouncing beads scattered and rolling. The palace maid who was guarding outside ran in when she heard the sound, and was first startled when she saw the broken porcelain jars on the ground and the Buddhist beads scattered all over the ground, and then knelt down with a pale face, crawling on the ground trembling with both hands carefully picking up the beads one by one, carefully placing them in her arms, and counting them while picking them up.

When she arrived at Xi Cui, the palace maid knew Xi Cui's identity, so she quietly stopped and whispered to Xi Cui, "This is a gift from the emperor to the queen mother, saying that the emperor personally went to Huangjue Temple to ask for it, and there are a total of ninety-nine Buddha beads in it, and there are relics that have opened the light in these Buddha beads." The Queen Mother has to take a look at it every day, and now it's like this, how can I explain it when the Queen Mother wakes up! ”

Xi Cui hurriedly helped to pick up the beads, but Princess Chaoyang was only frightened just now, and then changed to a high-minded face, and said coldly, "Xi Cui, one person does things and one person is responsible, things are broken because of you, don't bother others, and when the queen mother comes out, if you take the initiative to admit your mistake, this palace will definitely intercede for you in the face of the Liwang Mansion, but if you insist on not admitting your mistake, don't blame the palace for not helping relatives!" After speaking, he smiled and said to the palace maid, "It's none of your business here, the princess will naturally explain it to the queen mother, you go down." ”

The palace maid looked at Xi Cui and hurriedly withdrew.

Xi Cui ignored the palace maid's departure and continued to pick up the beads on the ground. Princess Chaoyang sat back in her seat contentedly and drank tea leisurely.

"Chaoyang, what are you doing here?" Suddenly, a cold female voice came into her ears, Xi Cui only felt that this voice was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was. Before she could look up, a pair of pink embroidered shoes had come to her, followed by a pair of slender white and delicate hands, and a bloodstone bracelet on her wrist was particularly eye-catching. Putting his hand on it, Xi Cui looked up and saw the appearance of the person who came.

Wang Shaoju! She is still as beautiful as she was at the beginning, and now she appears in front of Xi Cui with anger, and she is still so beautiful that Xi Cui loses her mind.

After helping Xi Cui get up, Wang Shaoju turned to face Princess Chaoyang, "Chaoyang, you are a princess, how can you act arbitrarily here from the Queen Mother?" ”

was said by Wang Shaoju, Princess Chaoyang may be at a loss, and she did not refute it, but she kept silent.

Only then did Xi Cui react and salute, hurriedly blessed herself, and said, "See Concubine Ju Niangniang." ”

seemed to be accustomed to such rules, Wang Shaoju naturally accepted her salute, and immediately ordered a few palace maids who followed her in to pick up the beads on the ground, and she herself pulled Xi Cui to sit down, "I heard that you have left the Wang family?" Without you by your side to take care of you, is my sister-in-law okay? And my sister, did my grandmother help my sister to see her relatives? I've been in the palace for so long, and the emperor and the queen mother don't seem to want me to know too much about the outside world. It's good now, you and Yufeng have become relatives, and now you are also the princess of King Li, with such an identity, I can often call you into the palace, you can tell me more about family matters. ”

"Concubine Ju's mood Xi Cui understands, it's just that I have already left the Wang family, even if I know some things over there, it is mostly hearsay, and I don't dare to speak in front of Concubine Ju. Besides, the emperor and the queen mother are your closest relatives, since they don't want you to be bothered by the idle things outside, it must be for your own good, why should you live up to their kindness? Xi Cui looked at Wang Shaoju's face that was captivating the country and the city, and he really couldn't deceive ruthlessly. But is it true? Knowing the tragic end she was bound to face, why did she rub salt in her wounds? Just let her live without knowing anything, it's almost over anyway......

"I naturally know that they are good for me, but how can you tell me not to worry, the house was like that before I entered the palace...... Wang Shaoju's expression was gloomy, and his voice was as light as a cicada.

Xi Cui sighed in her heart, and had to admit that Wang Shaoju was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen, but such a beautiful life was betrayed by her relatives like this. Looking at Wang Shaoju, Xi Cui was even more determined in her decision, no matter what, she must separate the Wang family from this political conspiracy, and she can't let Yun Ting become the next person to be sacrificed......

"Do you really believe what she said?" Chaoyang originally listened to their conversation quietly, and when he saw that Wang Shaoju was perfunctory by Xi Cui, he sneered, "Although this woman has left your Wang family, she holds all the family affairs of your Wang family in her hands. I've heard that even your brother's aunt's deed of sale is still in her hands. I think you are so well protected by the emperor and the queen mother that you are still so naïve after entering the palace for so long, you will believe whatever others say! ”

"Really?" Wang Shaoju stared at Xi Cui and held Xi Cui's hand excitedly, "So grandmother can't be the master of my brothers and sisters?" That's what I've been worried about, and if you can really help them, I'll be relieved! I won't tell you that in fact, I have always hoped that you could be my brother's aunt, and I can rest assured that you are at home, and now it seems that although you did not do what I wanted, you did not really give up on our Wang family! It's, it's great, Xi Cui, thank you! ”

didn't expect Wang Shaoju to react like this, Xi Cui was naturally startled, but the most unacceptable was Princess Chaoyang. She pulled Wang Shaoju up, "Are you crazy?" She's just a subordinate, and you're glad that she's interfering in your family affairs? Wang Shaoju, you ......"

"Princess, how is the wife of my Nangong Yufeng Ming Media being married a subordinate?" Nangong Yufeng broke in with an angry voice without warning, and Princess Chaoyang took Wang Shaoju's hand and shook violently, hanging in the air at a loss. Wang Shaoju hurriedly took the opportunity to break free, straighten his clothes, and took Yu Feng's salute, and then left.

"You're actually protecting her?" Princess Chaoyang was furious after reacting, and stood in front of Yu Feng, "Are you defending her in front of me now?" Have you ever thought about my feelings? ”

"The princess is self-respecting! You are now the wife of the hard-working lord of Laoke, and I, Nangong Yufeng, have become Xi Cui's husband, and I will ask the princess to think clearly about this kind of rhetoric in the future. Yu Feng avoided her approach, turned sideways, walked quickly to Xi Cui's side, and took Xi Cui's hand, "I'll send you home first, and I'll enter the palace later, the matter here is not over yet." ”

Xi Cui nodded and followed him past Princess Chaoyang.

Princess Chaoyang stood there, watching them walk out without looking back, tears rolling in her eyes, but she bit her lip so hard that she didn't let them fall, so that she faintly felt a fishy sweet taste coming from the tip of her tongue......

The Queen Mother listened to the movement outside through the screen, sighed, and closed her eyes again......

On the way back to the palace, Xi Cui learned from Yufeng that the Zhenyi Kingdom had sent an envoy to the Great Xia Kingdom this time, and also sent their princess Huali, wanting to take Princess Huali as a hostage so that the two countries would never go to war. The emperor intended to appoint Princess Huali as a concubine, and they wanted this Princess Huali to marry the third prince. Because Princess Huali is the most beloved daughter of the lord of Zhenyi, even if he had to send Huali as a hostage this time, in order to ensure that Huali is not despised in the Great Xia Kingdom, he handed over the golden seal of the wolf master who can command the most brave and good wolf master in the Zhenyi Kingdom to Huali.

Even if you rush this army, the emperor will never give up Huali to the third prince, right? Xi Cui said in her heart, it seems that this matter is enough for those old foxes to have a headache for a while.

Back at the palace, Yu Feng didn't even enter the courtyard, only sent Xi Cui to the door and turned around and went out again. There is no need to think that Xi Cui knows that he must have rushed to discuss this matter with Master Zhang and them.

Xi Cui changed his clothes and rested for a while, and Yu Feng didn't come back after dinner, so he simply rested by himself.

As soon as the lights went out, I heard Ling Xiang report that Duan San was coming.

Xi Cui had no choice but to put on his clothes and come out, Duan San came over to speak for Qi Yu, and it turned out that Qi Yu also knew what Yu Feng said. Although he met with the three princes through Xi Cui's introduction, the three princes didn't seem to really trust Qi Yu, and after this incident, Qi Yu's request to see the three princes was refused. He wanted to tell Xi Cui that he already had the idea, but he needed the cooperation of their side, but now it seemed that he could only ask Xi Cui for help.

After listening to this, Xi Cui asked Duan San to tell Qi Yu to wait for her news.

After sending Duan San away, Xi Cui lay on the bed and thought, what excuse should he find to leave the house? According to the rules, the bride can't walk out of her husband's house within three days, but the current situation doesn't seem to be able to wait for three days, right?

I fell asleep thinking about it, and when I woke up, Yufeng was already lying next to her again, and she didn't know when she came back last night. (To be continued.) )
