Chapter 27: Alcohol

Feng Zhige's gaze was like the cold moonlight.

Xiao Jingbei's doubts were not strange, of course he wouldn't know why Zhao Tiannan would attack the loyal Xiao Li, after all, it involved the most secret thing in Zhao Tiannan's heart more than twenty years ago, and it was something that could never be known to outsiders.

A few insiders back then, Imperial Doctor Hu thought that if he returned to his hometown and never set foot in the capital again, he would be able to dispel Zhao Tiannan's doubts and spare his life, but in the end, it affected the entire Hu family.

There is also a Zhao Youjun who learned about Zhao Tiannan's plans by mistake, and also played an extremely important role in the death of Han Su, if she was not Zhao Tiannan's own sister, and the Queen Mother was protected, I am afraid that she would have died as early as that year, even so, Zhao Youjun also embarked on a path carefully selected by Zhao Tiannan for her, and finally ended up being sent to Ciyun Nunnery, and the result of not seeing the light of day in the second half of her life.

And by chance, Xiao Li, who suspected the death of Imperial Doctor Hu's family, investigated the events of that year......

Even if Xiao Li was the most loyal courtier of the Great Wu Dynasty, once there was a possibility of knowing about that matter, even if it was just a possibility, Zhao Tiannan would definitely not be kind to him.

Only those founding fathers who experienced the establishment of the Dawu Dynasty will know what kind of prestige Han Su had among the soldiers of the Dawu Dynasty back then, and if the cause of Han Su's death leaked out......

Zhao Tiannan definitely didn't want to try that consequence.

complained, I can only complain about why Xiao Li was so curious to inquire about Imperial Doctor Hu back then.

Speaking of which, Xiao Li can be regarded as suffering from the pond fish.

Feng Zhige stood up and took a few steps towards the window, and the bright moonlight poured in through the window, coating her with a thin layer of clear light.

The girl is slender, with a green silk shawl, and the somewhat weird middle clothes on her body are even a little exposed, looking at Xiao Jingbei's eyes hidden in the dark, just a glance at it made the roots of his ears a little hot and red.

Xiao Jingbei subconsciously opened his eyes, and the depression in his heart before dissipated a lot unconsciously.

Feng Zhige's eyes accurately found Xiao Jingbei's location in the dark. "Xiao Shizi, as for the cause of An Guogong's poisoning, since you already know something, it's best not to investigate it further. Although you now have the errand of the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Pacification Envoy, before you gain a firm foothold, acting rashly will only expose you, and even put yourself in it. You don't want to, before you get justice for An Guogong. Just fold yourself in, right? ”

Xiao Jingbei was a little surprised in his heart, he wanted to avenge his father, even the two closest friends, he never confided.

His goal is the current emperor, even if his friends will be on his side and can be the emperor's enemy, I am afraid that no matter who he is, he will think that he is killing himself.

He hid his thoughts so deeply, how could Feng Zhige guess it so lightly?

"What's so surprising about that?" Feng Zhige rolled his eyes very unsightly, "If it weren't for that." Zhao Youjun has no grievances with you, why did you target her? ”

Xiao Jingbei was silent.

"This is also the last time that Mrs. Yang volunteered to block you in front, if people find out that the news was actually released by you, do you think, our wise and martial emperor, will you guess what you want to do, and the reason why you do these things?" Feng Zhi said.

In the final analysis, although Xiao Jingbei has suffered a lot since he was a child and has developed some skills, he has no guidance from his elders. His means are somewhat lacking.

Feng Zhi sang suddenly.

Is she putting herself in the position of Xiao Jingbei's elder?

Although this idea was a little difficult for her to accept, it counted. At the age of his three lives combined, it is indeed more than enough to be Xiao Jingbei's elder, so he also let go of this thought.

After listening to Feng Zhige's words, Xiao Jingbei was silent for a while, he had to admit that what Feng Zhige said was true, and Feng Zhige's guidance. It also allowed him to discover his flaws.

After a long time, Xiao Jingbei said in a low voice: "Thank you." ”

It seems that since the first time he met Feng Zhige, he has been inheriting Feng Zhige's love.

While in Huzhou, she saved his life.

Not long ago, in the rumor incident about the eldest princess of Qingping in the capital, it was Feng Zhige who pushed the lady Yang out, which saved him from being discovered.

Now, when he came uninvited at night again, he got Feng Zhige's guidance again.

In terms of these, Feng Zhige is his out-and-out benefactor.

But......

When the word "benefactor" crossed in his heart, Xiao Jingbei was inexplicably reluctant.

It's not that he is unwilling to repay his kindness, but he is unwilling to treat Feng Zhige as a benefactor.

This is a very contradictory psychology, and even Xiao Jingbei himself doesn't know why he has this kind of psychology.

In Xiao Jingbei's heart, the eldest girl of the Feng family is a very wonderful person, although she is still young, she always shows maturity and spiciness, far beyond her age, and she also knows many secret things that most people don't know, such as the meaning of the jade unicorn in Xiao Jingbei's hand, and Zhao Youjun's original matter, and even she has a very elite force in her hand.

A little girl at this age, shouldn't she think about what clothes are beautiful and what jewelry is beautiful, how can Feng Zhige do so many things that are incredible in the eyes of outsiders?

Compared with Feng Zhige, he has been obsessed for so many years, but he can't catch up with her achievements at all.

Faintly, Xiao Jingbei was a little ashamed of himself, and then slowly lowered his head.

At this moment, Feng Zhige suddenly moved two steps towards Xiao Jingbei's side, which was not far away, so that the distance between the two was less than an arm's length.

Feng Zhige's sudden approach made Xiao Jingbei's head tilt back reflexively, and only when he realized that his reaction was a little big, he pursed his lips in disagreement.

Xiao Jingbei's reaction made Feng Zhige's eyes flash with some interest.

"What are you ......" Feng Zhige moved closer, looking at Xiao Jingbei's appearance of wanting to retreat and holding back, she forced a smile, and suddenly reached out to touch Xiao Jingbei's ear, "Are you shy?" ”

Even for men, their ears are soft and tender to the touch, especially the increasingly hot temperature coming from their hands.

didn't expect Feng Zhige to make such a move, Xiao Jingbei was stunned at first, and then his eyes were full of embarrassment.

If two people change roles, it can still be said that a little hooligan is molesting a girl, but a girl who is not yet a teenager is molesting an adult man in his twenties, what is going on?

Feeling the temperature from the hand that was gently holding his earlobe, Xiao Jingbei only felt hot all over. If you put an egg on his face at this time, probably, it will be directly baked, right?

Xiao Jingbei's reaction obviously pleased Feng Zhige.

It is easy to see from Xiao Jingbei's obvious jerkiness. He was afraid that he had never been so close to other members of the opposite sex.

What an incredible thing this is in this day and age.

The children of the family in this era have been waited by groups of maids since they were young, and when they grow up to be teenagers, their mothers will arrange a room for them to know the personnel. When he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he became a relative, and when his wife was pregnant, he had a dowry maid brought by his wife to have sex with him, and when his wife gave birth to an heir, he could also carry a few more young and beautiful concubines.

Like Xiao Jingbei, not only did he not get married at the age of twenty, but he never let a woman get within three steps, even if he was carrying a lantern, he might not be able to find a second one.

But thinking about it, Xiao Jingbei has been hovering on the edge of life and death since he was a child, and he also won the crown of the most assassinated person in the capital, and all his time was spent thinking about how to avoid the next assassination. Where do you have time to pay attention to what children's affection is?

Moreover, his titular "mother" acted so viciously that he almost made him a little misogynistic, and how could he be close to women.

Moreover, even if his identity is one of the best in the capital, but with such a "mother" here, how can a family with a daughter in the capital let their daughter marry such a person, if he really marries into the Anguo Mansion, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to be the Duchess of Anguo, but he will also have to worry about whether his daughter will be a widow at any time.

Xiao Jingbei thus became an older unmarried young man today.

was approached like this by Feng Zhige. Xiao Jingbei could almost faintly feel the faint air flow between her breaths brushing her hair.

Just such an imagination was enough to make him feel so hot that he even breathed rapidly.

Listening to the sound of breathing that was much more obvious in his ears, Feng Zhige wanted to continue to tease. But he smelled the faint wine between Xiao Jingbei's breaths.

"You've been drinking?" Feng Zhige asked.

Then withdraw your hand.

The departure of the soft fingers made Xiao Jingbei breathe a sigh of relief, but what followed was a sudden upsurge of loss in his heart.

"Hmm." Xiao Jingbei replied in a somewhat dull voice.

Hearing Feng Zhige's question, he remembered why he came here in the middle of the night today.

"No wonder they come to me in the middle of the night to pretend to be a sculpture." Feng Zhige said suddenly, "Also, if you don't know how to drink, drink less, and you have to take care of your mouth in the future." The next time you drink something, tell someone what secrets, and see what results you will have? ”

She said, how could Xiao Jingbei, an iceberg, tell her the secrets in her heart for no reason.

After all, if you really want to count it, the relationship between them is limited to a few faces, and they are only slightly more familiar than strangers.

cough, when Feng Zhige positioned her relationship with Xiao Jingbei in this way, she obviously deliberately forgot how she teased Xiao Jingbei.

Xiao Jingbei pursed his lips, wanting to explain for himself, but he didn't know where to start.

He really doesn't drink, in the past twenty years of his life, he must always stay awake in order to survive in the midst of many dangers, if he is really drunk one day, I am afraid he will not have the opportunity to open his eyes again.

However, the reason why he told these things that had been buried in his heart for many years was not because he drank alcohol.

Over the years, Xiao Jingbei has kept these secrets alone, which is really hard, but even if he drinks, even with his most trusted friends, he has never confided even a word, not that he doesn't trust them, but he is afraid that it will bring them danger after telling them.

However, when the person opposite became Feng Zhige, he easily told all the things he thought he would hide in his heart for the rest of his life.

Even, he didn't worry about whether Feng Zhige would bring him danger after he said it.

When did he trust the girl in front of him who had only met a few times?

When Xiao Jingbei was thinking about it secretly, Feng Zhige also had such a question in his heart.

However, it is always a good feeling to be trusted like this.

In short, I have heard Xiao Jingbei say so much today, and Feng Zhige doesn't mind playing the role of a confidant sister again.

"Well, is there anything else you want to say?"

Xiao Jingbei was silent for a while before he let out a soft "um", and then his somewhat hollow voice continued to sound in the darkness.

"I don't know what a father is like in other people's hearts, but in my heart. When he was young, his father was vague, and the only thing that was clear was the appearance of his father lying in bed all year round and unable to speak or move. "I think of my father's appearance on the hospital bed, and then compare it with the vague memory of my childhood. When the tall father lifted himself high, Xiao Jingbei only felt a dull pain in his heart, "Since my father can open his eyes......"

Since Xiao Li opened his eyes again, and later every month when someone came to the palace, Xiao Jingbei would let Xiao Li fall into a coma in advance. The medicinal materials given by the palace were also accepted by Xiao Jingbei himself, but these medicinal materials never entered Xiao Li's mouth again.

Since then, Xiao Li's condition has improved at an extremely slow rate, at first he can only open his eyes, then slowly blink, and then his hands and feet can move slightly......

Until this afternoon.

"You know, this afternoon, my father finally spoke, and this is the first time I've heard him speak since I was a child." Xiao Jingbei's voice suddenly became low. The strong emotions suppressed in it made the observers couldn't help but feel a little sour in their hearts.

His father, who had been lying unconscious on the hospital bed for more than ten years, was finally able to speak, and until this time, remembering the scene at that time, Xiao Jingbei still felt his heart surge.

At that time, Xiao Jingbei happened to visit Xiao Li in the main courtyard, and it was still a little cold in spring, worried that Xiao Li was cold, so Xiao Jingbei stepped forward to put Xiao Li's hand back in the quilt.

When the father and son's hands were clasped together, Xiao Jingbei suddenly felt a little sad.

When, as a child, I remembered my father's big hand. Doesn't seem big anymore?

At this moment, Xiao Li, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

The eyes of father and son suddenly met.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then. Xiao Li blinked, looking at his son, who was somewhat similar to himself, there was some relief in his eyes, he was a little difficult, and even opened his mouth as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"Jing ...... North ......"

Because I haven't spoken for too long. The voice was almost hoarse.

Obviously, it was just two words, but it caused an undoubted hammer-like effect in Xiao Jingbei's heart.

He was stunned for a moment, but when he realized that it was Xiao Li who was speaking, his mind went blank due to the sudden surge of ecstasy.

Xiao Jingbei opened his mouth, and the word "father" lingered on his lips for a long time, but he never came out.

He has grown from a toddler to a young man who can now become a pillar, and in the years of his father's absence, he has long forgotten how to evoke the simplest word "father".

Then, Xiao Jingbei heard the second sentence that Xiao Li said.

"Kill...... Finish...... I ......"

Three more words came out of Xiao Li's mouth.

Different from Fang Cai's ecstasy, hearing these three words, Xiao Jingbei only felt as if his whole heart had been pierced with a sharp blade, he never thought that his father would actually make such a request to him.

Xiao Jingbei didn't know why Xiao Li made such a request.

Maybe it's because he can't bear the pain of all these years and wants to die for relief, or maybe he knows why he has been bedridden for more than ten years, and wants to use his death to eliminate the danger in the root for Xiao Jingbei and the Anguo Mansion.

But whatever the reason, when a father prays for his son to kill him, it is sad, but it overflows.

Xiao Jingbei didn't even remember his reaction at that time, he only comforted Xiao Li a few words, and instructed his subordinates to take a good look at the door, and then left the main courtyard in a hurry, locking himself in the room.

This whole afternoon, for the first time in his life, Xiao Jingbei had the idea of borrowing wine to dispel his sorrows.

And he did.

Afterward......

Later, he appeared on the embroidery tower in the Liuyun Pavilion of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion at night.

After listening to Xiao Jingbei's narration, Feng Zhige fell silent.

Xiao Liyu is her old friend back then, although the relationship between the two is not harmonious, and even there is a faint hostility because of the difference in positions, but in the hearts of both of them, the other party is undoubtedly an admirable person, and now that I hear that Xiao Li has become like this, how can Feng Zhige not be emotional.

There is no doubt that Xiao Ji can be called a man who stands up to the sky, and he used his body to shield Zhao Tiannan's sword from the enemy many times on the battlefield, if it weren't for a little luck, I am afraid that he would not have survived the establishment of the Great Wu Dynasty at all.

How could such a person be bent on seeking death because of the suffering he has suffered for more than ten years?

Feng Zhige could roughly guess Xiao Li's thoughts.

Just like Feng Zhige's perception of Xiao Li, Xiao Li actually admires Feng Zhige as well.

Back then, after discovering that Imperial Physician Hu had died strangely, Xiao Li had been secretly investigating the cause of Imperial Physician Hu's death.

After the Yuan Hou Hansu died violently overnight, Imperial Physician Hu told the emperor to return to his hometown on the grounds that he was too old to be in high spirits and could not bear the duties of the hospital.

Soon after the person who shouldn't have told the old man returned to his hometown, dozens of people died one after another, so how could Xiao Li believe that there was no greasy in this?

Xiao Li didn't actually connect the matter of Imperial Doctor Hu with Han Su's death at the beginning.

When Han Su died, Xiao Li was not in the capital, and when he returned to Beijing, Han Su had already been buried in the imperial tomb by Zhao Tiannan, after all, he had never experienced it personally, even if he vaguely felt that Han Su, the queen of the Yuan, died too bizarrely, Xiao Li did not doubt it much.

Until Xiao Li later found something from the dilapidated ancestral house of Imperial Physician Hu's family. (To be continued.) )
