Chapter 105: Old Enemies
Dinner was naturally still used in Rongshouju, and it was late at night when the two of them returned to Ling Dengju after dinner.
Qingwei took the two big maids and beans to wait for the two to wash, made the bed, and then retreated.
When the room was quiet, Xie Hengxu leaned on the bed rail, put one leg on the side of the bed, and looked sideways at Di Lian, who was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, as if she had been contemplating for a long time, and whispered, "Lian'er, you say, will Feng Xie still think about revenge?" β
Knowing that he remembered what Chu Xi said today, Di Lian looked at him in the mirror when she heard the moon's clear eyes, she never thought that Feng Xie was such an open-minded person, although the Feng family was destroyed by Xiahou, but they were also the source of the indirect destruction of the Feng family.
Becoming a king or defeating a king, a gentleman who really stands up to the sky and the earth may be able to grasp these four words clearly, can afford to take them, and can put them down.
But the people who can afford it and put it down do not include Feng Xie.
The bad thing is that this narrow-minded old enemy is still a scheming and city government.
Without waiting for her reply, Xie Hengxu laughed at himself, lowered his eyelids and muttered, "You're right, I'm too conceited and gullible to what I think I think." β
Tillian inevitably sighed, got up from the embroidery stool, paced to the edge of the bed and sat down, and when she saw him raise her eyes, she smiled lightly and spoke softly.
"The friendship between men can always be remembered for a lifetime, I can understand these, after all, you and he have fought side by side in the blood and rain to live and die together, it was my superior skills that beat him that day, and the Feng family will be destroyed because of this, even if he will not hate us, he will be tormented by demons in the second half of his life, it is better to let him hate us, if revenge can become the pillar of his life in the second half of his life, this is fine."
The black phoenix eyes rippled slightly, and the big palm gently stroked her plain face, Xie Hengxu lightly hooked her lips, "I'm not afraid that he will seek revenge, I'm just afraid that he will target you with all the faults, I can't stand it." β
Hearing this, Di Lian's smile softened, and she gently rubbed his palm, "Your subordinates are defeated, why be afraid?" Don't worry about me, you're right there for me, and no danger can get close to me. Whether it is Xie Hengxu's wholehearted protection of her, or her inner tenacity because of Xie Hengxu's company, it is enough to face all the wind and rain.
Under the bright candle, her beautiful face was soft and quiet, Xie Hengxu was fascinated by it, bent down and took her into his arms, and whispered for a while, "Lian'er, you say, if Xiahou Xi wins Xiahou'an that day, what will be the ending?" Will the Rongguo Mansion and the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion end up like the Feng family? β
What kind of uneasiness would make him so low that he imagined such a tragedy.
Dai frowned slightly, and Tillian hugged his lean waist back, and gently followed it soothingly, "Naturally not." You think, if Xiahou Xi succeeds to the throne, he will naturally reuse the Feng family, but even if he has the intention to kill us, he has no choice but to help. Don't forget, his enemy will also be the Su family of the Chengguo Mansion. The Su family and the Xie family occupy such a powerful position in this Xia Lan, if he is stupid enough to make a move against one of our families, and move his whole body, just one Feng family and the Xiyue Marquis Mansion will not be able to protect the throne that he has not yet sat on. At that time, Xiahou Xi would only be a short-lived emperor. Even if the new emperor is not Xiahou An, no matter what, this emperor has no long-term fate with Xiahou Xi. β
Xie Hengxu's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, holding her shoulders and looking at her, his eyes were a little confused, "Really?" It's true? β
Tillian pursed her lips and smiled, bowing her head sincerely, "It's naturally true, is it possible that I will bluff you?" Otherwise, why didn't I choose to cooperate with Xiahou Xi that day, wouldn't it be much easier to do so, he wouldn't target us, and you and Feng Xie wouldn't have to turn against each other. As for Xiahou'an, do you think I will really help Princess Shenghua in front of him? If I choose to help Xiahou Xi, think about it, will my father and the Xie family disobey me? β
Her words went around and around, completely circumventing Xie Hengxu, and when she heard it, the depression between her eyebrows instantly dissipated, and she muttered, "In this way, the mighty general's choice of Xiahou Xi that day was the wrong bargaining chip, no matter whether Xiahou Xi succeeds or fails, it is only a matter of time before the Feng family perishes?" β
The moon's eyes lowered, and Tilian climbed onto the bed sideways, lay down on her own, closed her eyes and said, "That's nature." β
Xie Hengxu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then lay down as well, casually pulled off the red bed curtain, and looked at her sideways, "Today, but tired?" β
Hearing this, Tillian opened one eye to look at him, turned over and looked at him with the brocade quilt, pursed her lips and said coquettishly, "I was tired all day yesterday, and I didn't rest well at night." β
Seeing her delicate and resentful appearance, Xie Hengxu couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and extinguished the candle with internal force, the room was dark, he comfortably took Tillian into his arms, accurately imprinted a kiss on her eyebrows, and said softly, "Since you're tired, let's go to bed early." He patted her on the back.
Tillian hummed, rubbed in his arms, found a comfortable spot and fell asleep.
However, her mind did not stop.
Those words just now were just to eliminate the inexplicable guilt towards Feng Xie in Xie Hengxu's heart.
All she said was that if Xiahou Xi succeeded to the throne, he would attack the Xie family and Zuo Xiangfu like Xiahou An's governance of the Feng family, but this was only an unlikely guess.
However, the reason why Xiahou An had no scruples about governing the Feng family at the beginning of his ascension to the throne was because the Feng family suddenly lost ground due to Xiahou Xi's defeat and was isolated in the capital. It also happened to become the target of Xiahou'an's 'killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys' to establish the prestige of the king.
In fact, if Xiahou Xi was really replaced to succeed him, when the throne was unstable at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he would not only dare not attack the Xie family and the Zuo Xiangfu, but would treat him with good courtesy.
Jiang Luo's cultivation is tilted towards the government and the opposition, seven out of ten in the temple are his protΓ©gΓ©s, and among the remaining three points, there is a high-status but low-power old minister, and one point is the emperor's sons and daughters, and finally the remaining courtiers are either grass on the wall or a mediocre.
The Xie family is a century-old noble, in charge of an army of 300,000, this military power has been passed down for several generations, and to say something against his will, he has already become the private army of the Xie family.
In addition, if Xiahou An dies, the Su family, who is the crown princess, will also be buried with him, which indirectly provokes the Su family, they will not take the initiative to attack the new emperor, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will not lend a helping hand when the Xie family and the Zuo Xiangfu are suffering.
The combination of these three forces is enough to shake the foundation of Xia Lan's country.
Xiahou Xi will not be so stupid and self-destruct the hard-earned country.
But these words can't be said to Xie Hengxu.
She just wanted to make him feel that the demise of the Feng family was the end that he would eventually come to the end one day if he didn't know the master and asked for his own death, so that he could be relieved of the residual guilt in his heart.
As for Feng Xie who refused to settle down.
The closed eyes in the darkness moved, and her bare hand gently held the placket of Xie Hengxu's clothes, and Tilian lightly hooked her lips.
She has never been able to tolerate him, no matter sooner or later, one day she will have to take his life to be at ease. (To be continued.) )
