Kou Yuanqi unhurriedly finished eating the shepherd's cabbage bun in his hand, took out the silk handkerchief he carried with him, and wiped his mouth calmly, and then under the relative silence of the three of them, he spoke.

"Yunxi, this time it was indeed planned by me."

His face was heavy, "I want to see your decisiveness." ”

Rong Yunxi said: "Uncle wants to see if I still need to be protected?" ”

Kou Yuanqi smiled lightly and shook his head, "No matter what time it is, Yunxi needs protection. ”

"It's just that I want to know, Yun Xi, or not the Yun Xi of the past, what will your choice be this time."

Rong Yunxi always felt terrified when she heard this, except for Rong Yunxi, no one present could understand Kou Yuanqi's words, or was it just that she was thinking too much?

Rong Yunxi frowned, "This time? ”

Kou Yuanqi smiled, "But Qi Zhan can't do it, at least, not now." He's too dangerous. ”

"Where am I in danger, where am I in danger?" Qi Zhan glared at Kou Yuanqi dissatisfied.

"Gentleness and cuteness are just the appearance of deception, rhetoric is just a trick to use, Yunxi should be very clear, right?"

Kou Yuanqi ignored Qi Zhan, Qi Zhan was like a rabbit with his ears down, squatting to the side to plant mushrooms.

Rong Yunxi glanced at Qi Zhan, her heart sank slightly, and she still asked, "Uncle has been staring at me?" ”

Kou Yuanqi didn't intend to hide it at all, he turned his gaze to Cuiwei, "Cuiwei is my eye by your side." ”

"Yunxi, you shouldn't trust anyone too much in this world."

Rong Yunxi was completely stunned, she couldn't accept this matter for a moment when she reacted, and even couldn't help but argue with Kou Yuanqi impulsively, "But you are my uncle, my dearest person, can't I trust you completely?" ”

Kou Yuanqi's eyes drooped, he didn't say anything, as if there was something unspeakable, under Rong Yunxi's sharp pressure, Kou Yuanqi finally smiled bitterly, but still chose to answer, "Of course, you can choose to believe me, anyone can harm you, but I won't." ”

"Then let's get down to business now."

Rong Yunxi's eyes became serious, "I won't doubt my uncle until I die this time, don't let me doubt you." ”

In her previous life, she didn't listen to her uncle's persuasion, insisted on marrying Qi Mingshu, and finally died tragically in the fire, and she will never forget it until she dies.

Although what happened in this life is not the same as in the previous life, at least, she also distinguishes who should be trusted and who should not be trusted.

Kou Yuanqi shook his head a little helplessly, muttered to himself that he didn't know something, his eyes became serious, and he looked at Rong Yunxi squarely, "The murder in the capital, now Jingzhao Mansion Yin can't investigate, and has been suppressed and even threatened by the people on the Huo family's side. ”

"So Jingzhao Mansion Yin wants to investigate." Rong Yunxi is sure to arrive.

"Jingzhao Mansion Yin is much more upright than Ah Xi imagined." Qi Zhan didn't know when he was getting up, but he still leaned his chin and put his arm on the table, looking frivolous, but he looked extremely charming.

Rong Yunxi only glanced at it and immediately turned his head, "So Jingzhao Mansion Yin is still from here?" ”

Kou Yuanqi hooked his lips, "No, Yin Jin Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion has offended Qi Zhan because he is too honest in the court." It's a well-known thing. ”

Rong Yunxi was aroused and asked casually, "Oh? Why offended? ”

"Because of a murder."

Qi Zhan's face was not as heavy as expected, and he still looked relaxed, Rong Yunxi couldn't help but feel a little uneven in her heart, but she didn't say anything.

"I definitely didn't cover up any bad people in this case, and I didn't do it, Ah Xi, don't secretly write it down for me in your heart."

Qi Zhan raised his eyes and explained to Rong Yunxi in a salty way, he really had a clear conscience.

Rong Yunxi's heart was inexplicably relaxed, but he still didn't give him any benefits, "I'm not interested in your case, Lord Seven." ”

Qi Zhan unexpectedly didn't answer this time, but Zhengse began to talk about things, "Jin Shao led me to investigate, he is a righteous person, and he is not willing to participate in the faction struggle at all." ”

"He only promised that he would do his part within the scope of his duties."

Rong Yunxi lowered his eyes and thought about something seriously, "This Jin Shao is ...... Who put it in Jingzhao Mansion in the first place? ”

"Your Majesty."

Kou Yuanqi replied.

"That's amazing." Rong Yunxi sneered, "Putting a character who will not be swayed by anyone, even I can't shake him at all, it's a tricky and troublesome existence for everyone." ”

"And Jin Shaoyin is indeed doing quite well, and he has a good reputation among the people in the capital, if anyone makes a move on this person, he will definitely be scolded by the people."

"The so-called, the world of those who win people's hearts." Kou Yuanqi added.

"I didn't expect this emperor to be a faint king." Rong Yunxi rolled her eyes.

"The faint king is just the definition of history and the people, and the people will not care about the life or death of our people." Qi Zhan's voice was very low, "As long as the person in the highest position is good to the people, the people will praise him." Even if the one above is a devil, the people sing his praises. ”

Rong Yunxi looked at Qi Zhan with a straight face, "The people are not fools, Qi Zhan, you are thinking too much." ”

Qi Zhan sneered lightly and didn't speak, "Then this case, do you know how the people are talking about it now?" ”

When this topic was mentioned, Rong Yunxi also closed her mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Now there are almost all rumors that the security in the capital is not strong, which led to the bandits infiltrating the city and retaliating against the family, which led to the death of so many people.

Capital Security ...... Naturally, it was Jin Shaoyin's fault.

Rong Yunxi's silence gave Qi Zhan an affirmative answer, and he sighed softly, "People's hearts change, Ah Xi." ”

"No, I believe in the human heart."

Rong Yunxi still said so.

Although she has been betrayed and hurt, the existence of Uncle Kou Yuanqi and Cuiwei's company make her still willing to believe in people's hearts.

Kou Yuanqi's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say a word in the end.

He changed the subject, "So now, we can only do our best to let what Jin Shaoyin do is beneficial to us." ”

"Jin Shaoyin and we actually have common interests." Rong Yunxi followed up and analyzed, "Jin Shaoyin and we both want to bring Huo Ming to justice. ”

"It's just...... Our purpose is a little bigger. Thinking of this, Rong Yunxi couldn't help frowning, "Isn't it possible for the Huo family to defect?" ”

Kou Yuanqi chuckled and said, "With Rong Yuejin's existence, I won't accept the Huo family's defection." ”

“……”

Rong Yunxi was speechless for a while, but a layer of warmth rose in her heart, "Tomorrow is Rong Yuejin's birthday banquet, presumably Huo Ming and Jin Shaoyin will also come." ”

"Clever," Qi Zhan hooked his lips and chuckled, but stood up from his seat, "It's not appropriate to say too much here, how about Ah Xi coming to my house after that?" ”

Rong Yunxi glanced at Qi Zhan suspiciously, and also stood up from his seat, "I'd better discuss it with Uncle Yuan Qi, don't bother with the Seventh Prince." ”

"Hey, your uncle must still have to discuss it with me." Qi Zhan frowned, stepped forward directly and wanted to pull Rong Yunxi's arm naturally, but before his hand touched it, he was blocked in the middle by Kou Yuanqi's fan.

"Qi Zhan, don't be so blatant when I'm here."

The meaning of the extraneous ...... Uncle Yuan Qi knew what happened when he was away, but didn't he let Cuiwei stop it?

Rong Yunxi was stunned for a moment, completely ignoring Qi Zhan's dissatisfaction, and when Qi Zhan and Kou Yuanqi finished speaking, Cuiwei had already urged her to get into the carriage.

Qi Zhan wanted to rub the carriage very naturally, Rong Yunxi looked at him helplessly, "Didn't you have a carriage when you came by yourself?" ”

Kou Yuanqi still wants to go back to see a doctor for treatment, and he has already gone back to Yunshengtang first.

Qi Zhan looked down at his tattered clothes, and frowned dissatisfiedly, "You see me dressed like this, how can I look like I came in a carriage." ”

Rong Yunxi only noticed the large and small scars on Qi Zhan's body when he heard this, if his face was disfigured, the scars on his body ......

"Qi Zhan, the knife wound on your body ......"

She couldn't help but feel a trace of compassion in her heart.

"It's all true," Qi Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "I followed my father to the battlefield at the age of ten, and I have been fighting on the battlefield for more than nine years, and I have long been used to seeing large and small scars on my body. ”

Rong Yunxi's heart trembled, pursed her lips, and said, "Then you are still ......"

"Then Ah Xi can let me ride the carriage with you?"

Qi Zhan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Rong Yunxi's face fell in an instant, "Then you better go back by yourself!" ”

After speaking, she got into the carriage without looking back, leaving Qi Zhan in the same place and messy in the wind.

When he saw the carriage disappear from sight, Qi Zhan laughed helplessly, and Yinshuo walked out of the shadows, his eyes full of distress, "Lord, I have prepared a change of clothes." ”

"Hmm."

Qi Zhan replied coldly, and walked into a nearby booked inn with Yinshuo.

Behind the screen was filled with a warm and fragrant aroma, Yin Suo stood respectfully outside the door, his expression was complex and indescribable, after a long time, Qi Zhan's faint voice came out behind the screen.

"Something to say."

Yin Suo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied, "Yes." ”

But when he really said it, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Lord Wang, you obviously want Miss Rong to be your princess, why do you always deliberately show flaws so that she can realize that you are using you to deceive her?" ”

Qi Zhan's voice was still indifferent, "Are you talking about the carriage incident just now?" ”

Yinshuo lowered his head deeper, "The subordinates don't dare to talk about the prince." ”

"Nothing." Qi Zhan said, "It's just like this, if she meets a liar in the future, she will definitely not be deceived." ”

Sometimes, the loss of the ability to believe is a good thing, but it is also extremely sad.

Qi Zhan didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong, but if that was the best way to protect you.

"Ah Xi, don't trust anyone too much."
