Chapter 21: I Won't Stop You
Xue Zimu let out a loud sigh, "Father, you naturally understand the thoughts of the sons, I want to prove my strength to share the burden of the court for you, as long as I find out this matter clearly, my ability will be recognized by everyone, even if my identity is exposed, those old ministers who don't distinguish between right and wrong will have nothing to say." ”
Li Xuan looked at the crown prince who had high hopes, and a trace of unbearability appeared in his heart, "An'er, although you are the crown prince, your father has never wanted to persecute you, even if you find a scapegoat at random, they can't say anything, King Nanyang is not a person who can be killed casually." ”
Li Xuan's gaze became deeper and deeper, and Xue Zimu didn't dare to look at it directly.
He gave birth to a bold speculation in his heart, could it be that his father also knew about the fake death of King Nanyang?
"Father, I want to know the whole truth of the matter, please allow me to investigate thoroughly. The Nanyang Palace, which is lonely, is ambitious, and the King of Beijing is a neutral attitude, and the internal worries of our country have not been solved, and in the future, the neighboring countries will lead troops to attack, and our country will eventually fall into a situation from which there will be no return! ”
Xue Zimu couldn't kneel down, and his eyes flashed with a burning fighting spirit.
The corners of Li Xuan's mouth raised a very shallow smile, his deep gaze turned into a touch of softness, and he helped Xue Zimu up, "An'er, my father is not wrong about you, among these children, you are still the most ambitious, and you are the most suitable to be the overlord of the world, what the hell is going on in Nanyang Wangfu, I don't know, but I once had an agreement with Nanyang Wang, he will definitely not die easily before he fulfills his promise, since you are so insistent, everything will be left to you, I hope you will not let your father down." ”
Xue Zimu stood up slowly and clenched Li Xuan's hand, "Father, rest assured, Erchen is not a reckless person, and Zhou Cheng is by his side, he can mobilize the Twelve Ling Guards, which is enough to protect the child's thoughtfulness, but the queen mother still needs his father to maneuver a lot, and I must not reveal my whereabouts and make her worried." ”
Li Xuan patted Xue Zimu on the shoulder, "An'er, you are still grown up, you know that you are afraid of your mother's mood, with me, I won't let her know, but you also have to promise your father that no matter whether things have a result or not, you will come back safely, and plan for the worst, and find a suitable scapegoat as your alternative pawn." ”
Xue Zimu leaned over slightly, saluted his father, and walked out of the imperial study.
Li Xuan glanced at Xue Zimu's back and sighed faintly.
......
Nanyang Palace.
Qingdao and Mengyi exchanged a look with each other, and neither of them would take the initiative to step forward.
Ouyang Xue also muttered to herself, "These clothes must be brought, I heard that the scenery over there in the south of the Yangtze River is excellent, and the weather is much warmer than here, I must go boating on the lake with my brother, watching the rippling blue waves, it must be beautiful." ”
Qingdao looked at Ouyang Xue without the slightest intention of stopping, and gasped, "Miss, although we are going to relax, you don't need to move the entire palace away, right?" ”
Ouyang Xue turned her head and flashed an innocent gaze, "Is there one?" I just bring some everyday use, very ordinary things, do you need to make such a fuss? ”
Very usual?
Qingdao looked at half the room of silk and satin, not to mention the countless knick-knacks.
Mengyi raised her eyebrows, clasped her hands around her chest, and laboriously bypassed a box, "Miss, we didn't want to hit you, but you just want to do this, we have to remind you that there are so many things, the little prince will definitely not let you take them all, I advise you to screen it carefully, let him see it, maybe he threw all the things to you." ”
Mengyi deliberately put on a straight face to prove the seriousness of the matter.
Ouyang Xue's fingers stopped, she casually pulled her clothes aside, leaned on a big red pillow embroidered with peony, stroked the delicate pattern on it, and felt the delicate touch, "You always treat me as a child, although I don't know what you are hiding, but I understand that in the short term, we will not come back, and besides, let me get close to Lord Xue, it is my brother's handiwork." ”
Qingdao's hand that had just pushed open the box suddenly relaxed.
Mengyi didn't expect the eldest lady's mind to be so exquisite, and she had already guessed the little prince's intentions.
"It's mine, so what?"
Ouyang Yi was dressed in pure white clothes, his face was like a crown of jade, and his lips were like condensed fat, he was even more handsome than the girl in the boudoir, he gently shook his fan, and slowly walked towards Ouyang Xue.
He put down the fan, picked up a few clothes at random, and complained like a complaint, "It's not that I said you, your aesthetics are too bad, and when you get there, I'll buy you a few new clothes, so that you won't be able to marry in the future!" ”
Ouyang Xue was still waiting for Ouyang Yi's official answer, but when she waited for his sarcasm, she pushed Ouyang Yi away even more dissatisfied, "Brother, you're playing tricks on me again!" ”
Ouyang Yi's fan rotated dexterously and struck Ouyang Xue's head a few times, "With your IQ, if I don't exercise and train you, sooner or later you will be calculated by others, even if you know my thoughts, don't you still have no way at all?" You still stay with me honestly, ugly words ahead, there is no better than us, not every time someone can help you out, you are careful to be kicked out! ”
Ouyang Xue's big eyes were full of grievances, and her whole body trembled like chaff, "Brother, I knew that you must have done it, since you want me to avenge my grievances, you just say it directly, you have to make such a big detour, what if I don't go?" ”
"No way, how much you hate Wan Zibing, I've learned it."
Indeed, Ouyang Xue had never said good things about Wan Zibing.
Speaking of which, there is not much intersection between them, but every time Ouyang Xue sees Wan Zibing's cold and indifferent appearance, and then sees her brother sticking it like a pug, she is not angry.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, which is not a big deal.
But this time it's different, Wan Zibing is a murderer!
She couldn't have forgiven!
"Then you have to take a good look at her, in case I kill her one day, it's too late for you to regret it!"
Ouyang Xue didn't care about the nonsense, but Ouyang Yi was a little distressed, "Xiaoxue, I know that there are some things that you don't want to listen to me, but I have to tell you again, even if Wan Zibing has a deep hatred for her father, she will not use such despicable means as poisoning." ”
Ouyang Xue directly pulled down the curtains on both sides of the bed, isolating Ouyang Yi into another world, "You go, I don't want to see you again." ”
Ouyang Yi has never been a person who will admit defeat.
He calmly threw out the fan, and the whirlwind that the fan blew made the curtain open again, revealing Ouyang Xue's aggrieved little face, "Xiaoxue, don't mess with my brother anymore, I have something serious to ask you, this time when you go out, don't mess around like at home, you must let Qingdao and Mengyi accompany you, you know?" ”
Ouyang Xue buried her head in the pillow, like an ostrich trying to escape danger.
Ouyang Yi didn't intend to give Ouyang Xue a chance to retreat, he directly pulled Ouyang Xue out of the pillow, "Xiaoxue, how long are you going to mess around......
Ouyang Xue's tears seemed to be uncontrollable, rolling down her face.
Ouyang Yi suddenly panicked, took out a handkerchief, and wiped it gently for her, "Xiaoxue, don't scare my brother, brother doesn't mean anything else, brother just wants you to know that the outside world is not as fun as you imagined, and it may be particularly dangerous." ”
Ouyang Xue turned a deaf ear, and tears quickly wet her clothes, leaving an ugly mark.
Ouyang Yi turned his gaze for help to Qingdao and Mengyi, Qingdao turned his head, not knowing what he was looking at, Mengyi spread his hands, "Don't look at me, the status of our family, except for you, it's her, I can't think of any good way." ”
Just when everyone was at a loss, Ouyang Xue suddenly stopped crying, as if she had made up her mind, she stared at Ouyang Yi directly, "Do you have to defend Wan Zibing?"
"It's not maintenance, it's the truth, it's not what you think it is."
"Okay, I promise you, I will definitely let Qingdao and Mengyi accompany me, but you also have to promise me one thing."
Ouyang Xue's expression was unprecedentedly serious, making the fan in Ouyang Yi's hand stop.
"You say."
"Haven't you always disliked my martial arts? If one day, my martial arts are strong enough to kill Wan Zibing, I hope you don't be a stumbling block for me. ”
Ouyang Xue's eyes were burning, and she didn't look like she was joking at all.
It seems that overnight, Ouyang Xue has grown up.
But this sudden momentum makes people feel frightened.
Ouyang Yi frowned, "I won't stop you, if there is a day when the two of you have a duel, I won't help anyone." ”
The corners of Ouyang Xue's mouth finally bloomed with a relieved smile, and she seemed to be a completely different person from the murderous woman just now.
Ouyang Yi's heart didn't feel good, did he have to come to this point in the end?
......
Dongyu Palace.
Ye Zhi drooped his head, not daring to look at the East Feather King again.
Chu Rong's expression was calm, as if he didn't take King Dongyu in his eyes at all.
Gongsun Tuo sat there upright, constantly rubbing the jade wrench on his thumb, "Night Execution, Night Execution, how many times have I told you about this problem, you don't have a long memory at all, and you are not as good as your little apprentice." ”
"Lord Wang, I was wrong, I didn't expect that their vigilance was so heavy, and that little girl's skills seemed to have increased a lot."
Gongsun Tuo patted the armrest vigorously, his chest rising and falling, "How can it not grow, are you talking to me in the wind?" ”
Chu Rong stood in front of Ye Zhi and respectfully began to salute.
