Shangguan Candle looked at Feng Xiyan coldly, looking like she was making trouble unreasonably, and there was even a chill on her face.

"Your Majesty is tired, I won't take the nonsense you say, I'd better rest early, and when I calm down, I'm coming to visit Your Majesty."

Shangguan Candle didn't want to talk to her more, although there was a faint anger in his heart, but thinking of what Feng Xiyan had encountered before, he endured these angers and wanted to wait for her to calm down.

"What are you running away from? Am I not right? I trust you so much, where were you when I needed you most? Where were you when my life hung by a thread? When Tan Yunyan blocked that arrow for me, where were you? ”

"You are good at layout, calculating people's hearts, and never doing things that you are not sure of, Changning Hou, I don't believe you don't know? Don't believe you don't know Tan Yunyan's identity? I don't know if the Queen Mother and the Marquis of Changning are going to attack me? ”

None of this is what Feng Xiyan wants to say, she actually wants to ask, why are you so late? Why didn't it show up sooner?

However, there is no position to question, because there is only a cooperative relationship between them, and she seems to have an inexplicable sense of dependence on him, and this dependence cannot appear between her and Shangguan Candle.

After listening to her questioning, Shangguan Candle laughed angrily, looking at her and sneering.

"Since Your Majesty knows, why do you need to ask, this matter is indeed a good arrangement by me, but I am not as omnipotent as Your Majesty said, I can calculate anything, I know that the Marquis of Changning brought the orphan girl of the Tan family to hide by his side, but it is limited to this, and other things are also known after His Majesty went to investigate."

"I did say that I would protect Your Majesty, and I also arranged for a master to be by Your Majesty's side, this time I was negligent and put Your Majesty in a dangerous situation, but there will be no next time."

Feng Xiyan looked at Shangguan Candle in a daze, tears still hanging on her eyelashes.

"It's true that I never do things that I'm not sure of, but this time, I really don't have any calculations, I just told Wang Rong to guide you to investigate this matter, and I don't know about the rest, including the fact that the Queen Mother and the Marquis of Changning want to kill you, I only learned about it later, and you should blame me."

Shangguan Candle does anything, never cares what the outcome is, what he does is what he does, even if he is wrong, he will never say a word to any explanation, that is not his style of doing things.

However, when facing Feng Xiyan's red eyes and haggard face, his heart was extremely sour for some reason, like a pair of invisible hands clenched tightly, and he was very uncomfortable.

Feng Xiyan was completely stunned, and it took a long time before he broke down and cried, and the whole person was like a helpless child, holding his chest and criing.

"Shangguan Candle, I hate myself so much...... I hated myself for being powerless, I could only watch Tan Yunyan die in my arms, I couldn't do anything, she was so pitiful, I promised to give her a good ending...... to avenge her family's grievances. ”

"Reunite her with her son...... But I couldn't do it anymore, she died, she died to save me, it was me, I was too arrogant, I thought how great I was, so I killed her...... It's me...... I killed her ....... ”

Shangguan Candle looked at her speechlessly for a long time, sighed silently, walked to the side of the bed, held her in his arms, comforted her back, and slowly comforted.

"It has nothing to do with you, it's not your fault, even if there is no Your Majesty, she won't live, these years, she has been tired, and it is already her biggest limit to endure it until now, rather than continue to live and be tortured, it is better to go down to atone for her sins, this is her wish, Your Majesty should fulfill it."

In such a scene of life and death, Shangguan Candle has become so numb that he doesn't feel anything, and even regards all this as normal.

It's just that, looking at the person who broke down and cried in his arms, his already cold heart was overflowing with empathy again.

In this life, he has seen too much blood and indifference, and has been tortured too much, he lowered his head and stroked Feng Xiyan's hair, and had a strong desire in his heart, no matter what the outcome is in the future, he must protect this innocence from being changed.

Feeling the warmth coming from Shangguan Candle's body, Feng Xiyan threw himself into his arms and vented recklessly.

After Shangguan Candle helped her unravel the crux of her heart, Feng Xiyan returned to her silly and happy appearance.

It's just that her temperament is not as lively as before, and she seems to be calmer, which is what Wang Rong and Mo Lan accidentally overheard when they were whispering.

If it had been placed in the past, Feng Xiyan would have rushed over to reason with him, but now, when he heard it, he only smiled slightly, and did not step forward to theorize.

Because the emperor caught the evidence that the Marquis of Changning framed the Tan family, when the emperor made a private visit to investigate, he jumped over the wall in a hurry and made a big rebellion, wanting to assassinate His Majesty to cover up the crimes he had committed.

But in the end, he was caught by His Majesty, who had arranged everything a long time ago, and then apologized for his crime on the spot, and His Majesty was also injured in it, and was sent back to the palace for first aid, and after a few days of recuperation in bed, His Majesty finally appeared in front of the minister safe and sound.

During His Majesty's bed rest, rumors spread in the palace that the reason why the Marquis of Changning was so bold was because of the support of the Queen Mother, and that the Queen Mother wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill His Majesty, and then take sole power, otherwise, if he gave the Marquis of Changning ten dares, he would not dare to assassinate His Majesty, which was a great crime to exterminate the Nine Clans.

However, such a rumor was that the Queen Mother, dressed in white and wearing a cloak with a sick face, rushed from Cining Palace to the Yangxin Palace and clamored to stay by His Majesty's side, and threatened that if anything happened to His Majesty, she would not live anymore, and go down with His Majesty to see the emperor.

In this way, those rumors are self-defeating, and no one dares to spread such rumors anymore, even if they really come out, no one believes them, because the Queen Mother has already released her words.

If Your Majesty has any three longs and two shorts, she will never live alone, such a deep mother-son relationship, who would believe that the Queen Mother wants to kill her son.

When Feng Xiyan knew that Empress Dowager Li used this trick to break the situation, she was so angry that she wanted to rush out of the Heart Nourishing Hall and scold angrily, but apart from being angry in the palace, she didn't have any way to take Empress Dowager Li.

But when I thought of it, although Empress Dowager Li escaped with a bitter trick, she finally broke her arm, so even if she pulled back a game, it didn't hurt.

Shangguan Candle only smiled at this, although the Empress Dowager Li stopped the rumors, but the Marquis of Changning has followed her for so many years, which is intertwined, and there are too many tricks of the Empress Dowager Li.

So, what if Empress Dowager Li escaped a catastrophe?
