Xiao Yizheng's face became warmer and warmer under the cover of the lights, and the soft words brushed through Qingxi's heart like a feather, and the slight uneasiness caused by waiting was instantly soothed. Her eyes softened, and she smiled: "Your Highness sometimes makes me forget that the person who said coldly on Baoding Mountain that day that he wanted to live and not speak out was not you. ”

Xiao Yizheng was slightly stunned, and then laughed heartily. "Uncle Nine has been stripped of his military power, your life is safe."

"Since I made an agreement with His Highness, I have never worried about this issue."

Qingxi said firmly, Xiao Yizheng stared and smiled.

"It's just that although Prince Guang has been cut from military power, things are even more tricky, right?" Her tone was light, as if she had her own answer, and she wasn't asking anything.

Xiao Yizheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you know?" ”

The corners of Qingxi's mouth hooked: "The Holy Lord's disposition is not fatal, but it also hits the key point of Prince Guang." I think Prince Guang finds it both acceptable and unbearable. This state is actually very delicate. Left or right? Accept the decentralization, everyone is happy, if you don't accept it, then ......" She stopped at the right time, smiled playfully and continued: "So I think that the Holy Lord's doing this is not so much tolerance as further temptation, so isn't the next step to be more step-by-step?" ”

Xiao Yizheng looked at her deeply and didn't say a word.

Qingxi stroked the broken hair in his ears, and continued in an indifferent tone: "Your Highness doesn't need to look at me like this. Isn't this the tacit understanding of the Manchu civil and military forces? ”

Xiao Yizheng was silent for a while, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You are not a Manchu dynasty civil and military. Not everyone in the court and the central government can understand their father's thoughts, and not many can look at this issue in this way. Lizhi said that they don't want you to know about the complicated battle, which doesn't seem to be true. ”

Qingxi shook his head: "He didn't say anything wrong, father and mother, he really didn't want to." As for the elder brother, sometimes he is willing, sometimes he is not. It depends on his mood. What I just said, Your Highness should not take it seriously, there is no trace of it. With that, she got up and prepared to summon someone to come in and clean up.

"I'm going to leave for the Southwest Army soon." Xiao Yizheng looked at the oil lamp in front of him and spoke in a low voice.

Qingxi, who was just about to speak, immediately swallowed his voice, blinked twice, and asked in surprise: "You?" Southwest Army? Why? ”

Xiao Yizheng raised his eyes and looked directly at her: "What do you say?" I'm sure you can figure it out. ”

Qingxi frowned slightly, sat down slowly, thought for a while, and said suspiciously: "To be the coach?" ”

Xiao Yizheng instantly smiled, his hands were folded around his arms, and the whole person seemed to be relaxed: "It seems that there is going to be a princess Zhuge in my palace." ”

Qingxi had no intention of laughing with him, and asked, "Why?" How could it be you? Isn't it possible for the Holy One to let you go? ”

"Why not me? Why couldn't my father choose me? ”

"Everyone can see that the commander of the Southwest Army is now a dead knot, and not only will it not make a profit if the imperial court sends someone there, but it is also very likely to accompany the future." Qingxi clenched the silk handkerchief in his hand, and his brows were locked deeper: "Especially you!" Once Prince Guang makes a move, then you ...... in the southwest" Her tone was hurried, and when she said this, she stopped abruptly.

Xiao Yizheng sighed with a smile: "Then I am the best hostage in the Southwest Army, worth my life, and I am in turmoil." Seeing that Qingxi showed a serious face, he was worried and worried, and he continued with a gentle smile: "Why don't you think about another possibility?" ”

Qingxi's eyes focused more deeply.

"Uncle Jiu, he will not rebel, and I can reorganize the Southwest Army into an army that is loyal to the imperial court without the orders of Prince Guang. Or, Uncle Nine will rebel, but I can still make the Southwest Army a force that guards the southwest border of my Dacheng and is loyal to the central government. He said it calmly, as if it were as simple and easy as dusting off a layer of dust.

The lights flickered, and his face was warm and comfortable, peaceful and peaceful.

Qingxi looked at him incredulously, she wanted to ask, are we discussing the same thing? Are you serious? But when it came to his lips, he felt that this question was a bit unserious.

"You, don't you believe me?" Xiao Yizheng smiled lightly, his eyes looked at her leisurely, and his tone was still light.

Qingxi opened his mouth, and suddenly remembered that he had said: Ah Heng also trusts me. Trust? Naturally, it's trust. Trust him to protect himself and the Ling family, and trust him in his one-year gentleman's covenant with himself. But the problem now, if she says trust, she is just gambling. "Do you really have to?" She asked rhetorically.

Xiao Yizheng lowered his head slightly, and his smile decreased slightly: "How can I say it, it's not that I have to be, but also that I have to be." ”

Qingxi was a little confused by him, but quickly calmed down, thought in his direction, and became clear and clear: "So, when to leave?" How many people are on board? When will I return to Beijing? ”

Xiao Yizheng raised his head again: "Maybe this Duanyang Festival can't be spent in Beijing." ”

Qingxi's heart trembled, and somehow, he remembered the wormwood purse.

"One person, one horse, one Zhao Xin, and no one else accompanies him."

"What?" Qingxi shouted and stood up with a table, what kind of operation is this? Going to the meeting alone? Oh, no, no, no, he doesn't even have a knife. Zhao Xin's martial arts, she is convinced. But that's not worth tens of millions of military horses!

Xiao Yizheng's smile continued: "As for returning to Beijing, there is no fixed date, maybe three or five months, maybe a year and a half, or three or five years." He looked up at Qingxi's eyes wide and round, as if he was listening to some fantasy. He sighed, got up and walked in front of her, leaned over and put his face in front of her, deliberately swaying from side to side, looking at her and saying, "You seem to be afraid that I will never return." ”

Qingxi instinctively reacted and immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth.

Xiao Yizheng suddenly felt a soft warmth on his lips, and this soft warmth quickly spread out and flowed all over his body. However, Qingxi felt that there was a hot source in her palm, which instantly burned her ears and cheeks.

The oil lamp crackled, the two looked at each other, and the room was quiet for a while, but there was clearly an unknown emotion tumbling and flowing.

Qingxi hurriedly removed his hand, quickly lowered his head and turned his back and whispered: "Although I am not very superstitious, I still don't want to hear some words. ”

Xiao Yizheng looked at her slender figure, and under the reflection of the candlelight, there was a sense of weakness and beauty. But she is obviously not an ordinary weak woman. After a while, he said, "Don't worry. Word by word solemnly.

Feel relieved? There's really nothing uneasy about her. Even the father who dotes on his son so much is willing to let him go to the battlefield where there is no gunpowder smoke but is dangerous and abnormal, what is she worried about? Even he himself said that he was so confident and confident, what was she worried about? They are just collaborators of a one-year contract couple, what is she worried about? He has so many people worried and worried, what is she worried about?

However, she couldn't lie to herself, at the moment, she couldn't let go.

If he had made a mistake, wouldn't she have become a widow for some reason? If he had made a mistake, how would she end the year's appointment? If he makes a mistake, who will protect the Ling family? If he makes a mistake, what will happen to him?

She suddenly felt an inexplicable gathering of heat in her eyes, as if it was about to gush out. This feeling was very bad, so she quickly took a few deep breaths, pinched her fingers, and forced these strange and real emotions back.

Xiao Yizheng saw that she had stood like that for a long time without speaking, so he said softly: "I'm not in Shangdu, you can also go back to Ling Mansion to live." ”

When Qingxi heard this, he actually knew that this was his kindness and thoughtfulness, but he felt uncomfortable hypocritically. What's the matter, you let yourself leave the palace so quickly? So, she turned around and asked, "Your Highness said that the return date is uncertain, if you don't return in two or three years, how can it be good?" ”

When Xiao Yizheng heard this question, his face froze. After a while, he said in a low voice: "The agreement between you and me remains the same." ”

Qingxi was stunned, she didn't mean to mention that year's appointment. So he quickly looked up and looked at him with a complicated expression, wanting to explain, but he didn't know how to explain or how to explain.

But Xiao Yizheng turned his back, paced to the window, gently pushed open the window, the night breeze was cool, he raised his head to look at the moon, "I just said, I don't want you to wait, a year is a year." ”

Qingxi looked at his silhouette, tall and soft, listening to him say that a year is a year, but there was no peace of mind in his heart. She felt she had to say something. "Chengzhan, you said that waiting is both a loving and fearful thing, right?"

When Xiao Yizheng heard her call him, he immediately turned his head and stared at her.

Qingxi raised a warm smile: "I can't control the major affairs of the national dynasty." I will wait for you in Shangdu to untie that dead knot and wait for you to triumph. Her eyes were steadfast and bright.

Xiao Yizheng's eyes were dark.

"You have to be quick, though. It's too long, I can't wait. Qingxi raised his eyebrows, and his words were brisk.

Xiao Yizheng's expression was stunned, and he immediately smiled happily.

The attendants who were waiting outside the house to be sent at any time listened to the laughter of the prince in the house, looked at each other, and laughed.

"Why is the prince so happy?"

"Although the prince often greets people with a smile, but is it really rare to hear such a happy laugh tonight?"

"Because of the princess."

……

Outside Chaolan Garden, a figure heard the whispers of the attendants, paused and turned to leave.

This night, Moon Shadow's mood was also beautiful. Because before her girl went to bed, she seemed to ask her casually: "You say that if I make a purse for a few days, I can do it?" ”

She immediately stopped what she was doing, blinked her eyes and asked, "Really?" Does the girl really want to do it? Soon, soon, three days, oh no, maybe two days will do. I'm going to prepare everything tomorrow......"

Qingxi smiled and lay down, and said lightly: "You don't have to be so happy, I may not be able to finish it." Try it......" he said, turning around as if he were about to sleep.

Moon Shadow tiptoed down the curtain for her and exited the room.

Try it, maybe you can make a decent purse, maybe the purse can make him feel the good blessings of the festival even if he is not in Shangdu.
