It is said that a companion is like a tiger, and now Zhu Xi is facing Zhao Yan, who is unstable, and he deeply understands the true meaning of this sentence: Zhao Yan is a tiger who is only waiting to be sent at the moment, and he may take her life at any time.

And at this life-and-death juncture, a strange thought popped up in Zhu Xishi's mind, she seemed to want to figure out the twists and turns more than her own life, what kind of person was she risking death to cover up?

Zhu Xishi's nature dictated that even if he died, he wanted to understand.

"Your Majesty, before telling you what the people know, can I dare to ask you a question?"

"Say!" In the crisp and neat answer, Zhao Yan's impatience was full.

"If the woman you know is the person you are looking for, then dare to ask the emperor, who is she?"

In the past eight years, the palace has been very secretive about Concubine Huo Chen, and no one dares to openly mention her affairs in Zhao Yan; You know, the slightest inadvertent cause Zhao Yan's disgust is a matter of losing his head, who wants to break into the knife? Obviously, at this time, Zhu Xishi was the first person to mention the courage to eat crabs.

The atmosphere of the Chaoyang Hall was about to freeze in this unusual quiet, and it was so cold that it was chilling. And after a cloudy sunny day rose and fell on Zhao Yan's face, he washed away the anger on his face and replied with a stunned expression.

"She is the most important person in my life. But I carelessly lost her, and I never found her. ”

This answer was also unexpected in Zhu Xishi's speculation, after all, in the face of the only answer to the truth, no one could turn around. The person most cherished by the emperor in his life, the terrifying feeling of the jade lady spread quickly in Zhu Xishi's heart like a plague. His face was shocked and worried.

"What about what I asked you?"

After a short period of silence, Zhao Yan jumped out of her memories and asked Zhu Xi solemnly again, as if the answer in her mouth was too dangerous at this time.

To say or not to say? Once this big lie comes out. It's a matter of life! But it was difficult to ride a tiger, and Zhu Xishi was not sure what would happen next, so he could only gamble on his luck.

"Your Majesty, the people's daughter is going to disappoint you, the woman who gave the people's daughter the jade pendant is no longer there."

It was only half a cup of tea before and after, and it was already the second time that a huge shock hit Zhao Yan. The disappointment of sudden rise and extinguishment of hope is undoubtedly the most overwhelming and crazy! And once man loses his mind. Then there will be no distinction between the important and the serious.

"You're lying!"

Zhao Yan, who was suddenly furious, pinched Zhu Xishi's throat with lightning speed, and a strong force tightly blocked Zhu Xishi's voice, making her unable to move.

"Xiao Yu, she's not dead! One by one, you are trying to deceive me. I want to hide it from me. You all deserve to die! ”

As he spoke, the strength between his hands increased a little more, making Zhu Xi gasp.

"The women of the people did not deceive the emperor. Now that the life of the people's daughter is in the hands of the emperor, the power of life and death is just a matter of your words, why did the people's daughter lie for a deceased person and lose her life in vain"

His face was flushed, and Zhu Xi's breathing became more and more rapid, if he couldn't persuade Zhao Yan in time. I'm afraid I'm going to die before I was pulled out and beheaded.

For today's plan, Zhu Xishi can only go deeper into this set. I hope to make Zhao Yan change his mind.

"Doesn't the emperor want to know what happened to that woman when she met the people's daughter?"

This sentence of self-preservation suddenly had a miraculous effect, and it immediately made the out-of-control Zhao Yan let go of his hand, like a helpless child, staring at Zhu Xishi with a frightened expression.

Breathing again, Zhu Xishi's whole person was lying on the cushion like a puppet and coughing violently, this taste of going back and forth between life and death really reduced her longevity by ten years!

"When did you meet her? What happened to her?! What an encounter, you say! ”

The other party's patience was very short, and Zhu Xishi didn't care about his discomfort, so he stabilized his trembling voice and said.

"The folk girl met the owner of the jade pendant in Taiyuan Mansion eight years ago."

Eight years ago? The time coincides, wasn't it the weird fire in the Star Hall eight years ago that took Huo Xiaoyu's life? Why did the owner of the peach blossom jade pendant appear in Taiyuan Mansion again?! Zhao Yan was shocked to hear that there was a lot of article in it, and restrained his impatience and listened to Zhu Xishi.

"The folk girl said that I was an ordinary person who was doing steamed buns in Taiyuan Mansion. One day after the beginning of autumn eight years ago, a beggar came up to the bun stall of the people's girl, probably because he hadn't eaten well for many days, and he fainted before he could talk. When the folk girl came forward to investigate, she found that the other party was actually a woman, and for a while she took pity on her, she temporarily left her in her own house, and gave her some food to survive. ”

"What does she look like? Describe me! ”

"Your Majesty, forgive me, that woman's appearance is indescribable."

In the face of Zhao Yan's request, Zhu Xishi suddenly showed a sense of helplessness, and Zhao Yan on the opposite side was even more suspicious.

"Why? Since you kindly took her in, why don't you know what she looks like?! Isn't that inconsistent? ”

"The emperor is good, and the people's daughter has seen the woman's appearance while she is unconscious, and her appearance has been completely ruined. The face wrapped in sackcloth looked as if it had been burned by fire, and it was full of festering pus scars, and it was impossible to distinguish its appearance. ”

According to the situation when Yu Niang was poisoned by "born like a summer flower" in her body, Zhu Xishi simply described the appearance of the woman to Zhao Yan; Although it was just a narrative, it was undoubtedly heard in Zhao Yan's heart, and an uproar was set off in Zhao Yan's heart, and a majestic and angry dragon face was constantly alternating between blue and white.

As for whether Zhao Yan was more distressed or angry, the anxious Zhu Xishi had no intention of distinguishing.

The water walk in the Hall of Stars took place in the summer of eight years ago, and the woman with burns on her face appeared in Taiyuan Mansion after the beginning of autumn, and the time is quite consistent. Zhu Xishi has never been told any details about Huo Xiaoyu, and the truth in her words at this time can naturally be distinguished, and what Zhao Yan can be sure of is that Huo Xiaoyu survived the fire.

It's just that I have to continue to listen to the rest of the story.

"Go on!"

"Yes. When the woman woke up, she was surprised that she did not want to stay in the girl's house, as if she had been greatly stimulated by some great stimulus, and insisted on leaving. After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and the people's daughters couldn't stop her from going after all persuasion, so they gave her some food to fulfill her wishes. Perhaps it was a coincidence that the woman at the foot of the slope left this jade pendant with the folk girl when she left. The folk girl and her father had learned some jewelry appraisal skills, so they naturally knew that this jade pendant was extraordinary, and they were quite relieved, so they set out to chase the woman. ”

At this point, Zhu Xishi's voice entered an adjustment, and it seemed that something big would happen next. (To be continued......)
