Chapter 504: Returning Home
"Since it wasn't sent by Empress Dowager Li, who could it be?"
Shangguan Candle's expression was too serious, which made Li Mao unconsciously nervous.
"Since this man has quietly intervened in our midst, he has come to do nothing but stun me, and his purpose is the same as yours, and he does not want me to leave...... So, I thought it was your guys? ”
After speaking, Shangguan Candle lifted the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
Li Mao opened his mouth and wanted to deny it, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, his expression suddenly became uneasy, and his thick eyebrows frowned.
"No, what do you mean by that? Do you suspect that the man in black who stunned you is my man? ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Candle raised his eyes and glanced at Li Mao, and then lowered his voice quietly.
Yes, he did think so at first, so he tested Li Mao like that just now, but the result was not what he predicted, so he carefully inquired about the clues left by the person.
"Yes, it was like this at the beginning, I thought that General Li had cultivated such a master without my knowledge, and he wanted to draw a line with me and do it alone?"
This is not false, he did think so before, Li Mao has long been dissatisfied with his and Feng Xiyan's affairs, and this time he blatantly sent someone to assassinate Feng Xiyan, and after the assassination failed, he blatantly sow discord, so it is inevitable that people will not have a sense of suspicion.
Li Mao was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shangguan Candle and sneered, "I, Li Mao, am not the kind of ruthless and unrighteous despicable villain, I can't do this thing of raising my subordinates privately, let alone using it to deal with my own people, you Shangguan Candle doesn't look down on me too much, even if you want to draw a clear line, you don't use this way." ”
"So, you can rest assured, I, Li Mao, can still find a way to get you back to your original position, which means that there is no idea of starting a new stove yet, even if there is one in the future, I will make it clear to you on the other side, and I will not make these small moves behind my back."
Shangguan Candle put the teacup in his hand back on the table, glanced at Li Mao quietly, lowered his eyes, and a touch of guilt flashed.
Although Li Mao is stubborn, he is loyal and righteous, and he will not do this kind of thing in front of him and behind his back, otherwise, he will not find himself to confess after assassinating Yan'er, and he still trusts him more about this.
"I know, you don't have to be angry, I just said casually, don't take it to heart, it's just that this person appeared inexplicably, plus his skills should not be underestimated, he approached us without either of us noticing, and his purpose was not clear, so people had to be on guard."
Some topics are good to stop at the point, and if they are too much, there will really be a gap, so Shangguan Candle shifted the topic to the man in black.
Although Li Mao still has a diaphragm in his heart, he also knows that Shangguan Candle has always been vigilant, even for the people around him, such a good character is very reassuring, but when it comes to his own people, it will inevitably make people feel a little chilled.
"I think the same way, this person came inexplicably, the purpose is not clear, and I don't know whether he is friend or foe, since I can't find any clues now, it is better to wait and see, he can appear once, and he will definitely appear a second time, so we just need to wait patiently."
"Well, that's what I thought, too."
Shangguan Candle nodded and replied.
Outside the window, the night is thick.
Feng Xiyan didn't sleep very deeply, she was in a trance, as if she saw someone sitting on the edge of the bed, and this familiar person was someone she had never seen since she came here all the way out of the palace.
All the complicated emotions such as sadness, anger and sadness came to her heart at once, and her nose was sore, and tears were about to fall, but the sore pain in her eyes reminded her that she couldn't shed tears.
Therefore, the tears that had welled up in her eyes were held back by her alive.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you planning to meet at the meeting? ”
As soon as he spoke, Feng Xiyan was surprised by his hoarse voice like a duck.
Is this still your own voice? Why is it so ugly?
"Shangguan Candle...... In the future, we will return to the road and the bridge, and from the moment you connived at Li Mao to set up a plot to assassinate me, there is no more possibility between us, the child's business...... Regardless of it, you say you have a hard time, and I believe you...... Although I was angry, I didn't think about cutting off all ties with you. ”
"Even thinking, if you come to coax me, if you coax me, I won't be angry, I'll forgive you, I won't be angry with you, and we'll be reconciled...... However, it's different now, it turns out that after all, I blocked your revenge plan, you were tempted for a while, and now you're sober, right? ”
"But why? Do you know I can help you? Why do this to me? Why is that? ”
said that he would not cry, but the tears fell down again, and the position of his heart was sore and painful, like pressing a heavy stone, which made him breathless.
But no matter how she broke down and questioned, the figure beside the bed never said a word, and she couldn't even see the emotions on her face clearly.
In an instant, Feng Xiyan was like a basin of cold water, completely calm and sober, and his heart was quickly cold.
"You go!"
The man beside the bed sighed imperceptibly, and then stretched out a hand towards her, and after that, Feng Xiyan only felt that his upper and lower eyes were like fighting, heavy and unable to open, and his consciousness became more and more chaotic.
In a moment, she fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, there was still a figure around me, looking at the empty bedside, as if the figure last night was just a dream, and I never seemed to be emotionally out of control.
Because the sore eyes have recovered, there is no more discomfort, she is still her, nothing has changed.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Just when Feng Xiyan was sitting on the bed with the quilt in his arms, looking at the position where the figure had stayed last night and losing his mind, Xiao Dezi rushed in in with a panicked face.
Feng Xiyan came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's the Queen Mother...... The Queen Mother sent someone to take you back to the palace. ”
Xiao Dezi said in embarrassment, at this moment he couldn't figure out what Feng Xiyan thought, after all, the matter between the master and the son was not something he could ask about or interfere with.
"Oh, really? It just so happens that I also feel that it is time to go back, since the plague has been controlled, and it has been dealt with almost the same, the country cannot be without a king, I really have to go back to deal with other court affairs, so I will leave it to them here, serve me to wash and change clothes, and let's go back to the palace. ”
"Yes."
Obviously, Feng Xiyan's mood is normal, his tone is also normal, everything is normal, but Xiao Dezi feels that something is wrong in it, and he can't say anything specifically, he just feels very strange.
