I smiled at him, "I really don't understand. What's wrong with you? Is it that you are too full for dinner and want to find someone to quarrel? ”

"Why did you ask your father to let you be my companion?" Cen Xi's eyes were cold, and he looked at me fixedly.

I thought it was funny, "You didn't ask me to come, why are you questioning me now?" ”

"Really?" Cen Xi looked at me coldly, "Because I said, you didn't hesitate to argue with Pei Lu, turn against the ministers, and even ignore my father's face?" ”

My smile stiffened for a moment, but I still insisted that I had no other purpose, "I call this a word, and there is righteousness." ”

"Huh." Cen Xi sneered and stood up, he set his gaze on the vast night behind me, "You want to steal the condensation branches in the Treasure Pavilion, don't you?" ”

This time I was really frozen, and I didn't know how to answer his question.

"You want to stay with me, it's just that you want to stay in the palace overnight." Cen Xi curled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, and there was a moment of paleness on his cold face, "But I don't understand, you clearly have so many ways to achieve your goal, why do you choose this?" Is it because I'm easier to deceive? Or do you think it's easier to do it with me? ”

"It's not." I subconsciously retorted, but I had nothing to say other than this 'no'.

"Why?" Cen Xi suddenly looked into my eyes again, "Why are you doing this?" Is Gu Yuancheng really worth it for you to do this? Is it worth warning you with a suspension from your father's office? "After so many years of planning and calculation, you would rather give up all of them for one him?"

I didn't dare to look him in the eye, and I took several steps back before I could barely stop.

Lowering my eyes slightly, I shook my head, "I didn't do it because of him, Cen Xi, I didn't do it because of him." ”

Cen Xi sneered, completely disbelieving my words, "Who is that?" Who is worthy of this? ”

"Because of me." I mustered up the courage to look up at him, "I'm doing this just for myself." ”

"What do you mean?" Cen Xi squinted.

I smiled bitterly, "Cen Xi, you know my past, why I want to climb to the position of prime minister, you also understand." Gu Yuancheng will be succeeded by your calculations for my safety, I know, you are not wrong, I don't want to blame you for anything, you are taking an imperial road, you have what you have to do, but I ...... I don't want to be like the people in Wei Yinghou's mansion, even if I have the same blood in my body as them, I also want me to be different from them, even if it's only a little bit. ”

"If I am destined to be unable to shake off their shackles for the rest of my life, just this little is enough for me to sleep in the grave."

"Well, my obsession ......"

Cen Xi was stunned and didn't say anything for a while.

It's been so many years, and he's known her for almost ten years. In the past ten years, he has watched her transform little by little, watching her change from a child who was bullied to the current powerful imperial prime minister, watching her endure and be strong, and drink happily...... However, after so many years, he didn't see the real knot in her heart.

Maybe she didn't understand it herself, that's why she wanted to do one thing like this.

"Father Emperor has sent heavy troops to guard the Treasure Pavilion, you can't get in." Cen Xi turned his face away and spoke in a dry voice.

I lowered my eyes and whispered, "I'll be alive." ”

Cen Xi stiffened his body and nodded, then turned around with his sleeves back, "You go, I won't stop you." ”

I was silent, and then I made a big bow to Cen Xi very seriously, and when I got up, I heard Cen Xi's deep voice in the night wind.

"Don't forget what you promised me, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay."

People are used to lying, but this time, I don't want me to lie to him.

The long night is mostly ruthless hatred, how can there be an old man with a sigh.

Cen Xi looked up at the hazy and cold moon under the dark night sky, and didn't turn around to see if the person had left. He knew that she had left, but he was afraid that he would suddenly regret letting her go tonight, and he didn't know if he was making a big gamble.

"Your Highness, the Praetorian Guards of the Treasure Pavilion, I have already sent someone to do a good job." Lu Ding suddenly appeared and told Cen Xi.

Cen Xi didn't speak, just nodded lightly.

"Your Royal Highness, if you do this, if the emperor finds out......" Lu Ding was always not very worried about Cen Xi's approach.

Cen Xi sneered, "He will acquiesce." ”

"But if you take such a big risk for Shen Xiang, Shen Xiang may not take it to heart." Lu Ding felt that his master should not do such a meaningless thing, "In Shen Xiang's heart, it seems that it is difficult to save something." ”

Cen Xi was slightly shocked, and raised his eyes to look at Lu Ding, "Why are you so determined?" ”

Lu Ding lowered his head. hugged his fists and replied, "Your Highness, as the saying goes, 'the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear', you care too much about Shen Xiang, so you didn't understand this." ”

"Does the main hall care about her?" Cen Xi muttered, and there was a moment of confusion in a trance.

If he really cared, how would he care? 62

"Get out of the way of this princess, if you dare to stop this princess, this princess will ask the royal brother to clean you up!" The noisy and noisy sound came from behind the rockery, Cen Xi frowned, and heard the respected Royal Highness of the Sixth Princess shouting into the garden, "Brother Huang, it's me, Yuhe!" Xiao Gezi, get out of the way of this princess, why do you always have to block this princess? Hongling, pull him away, and the father-in-law will go in. ”

Cen Xi also had a headache for this sister, and waved his hand to Lu Ding, "Bring her in." ”

"Yes."

After a while, the sixth princess trotted in with her skirt. She first looked left and right, then ran to Cen Xi, opened her mouth and asked, "Where is Shen Qingzhi?" Didn't the palace people say that she came to you to be a companion? What about people? ”

Cen Xi stretched out his hand and sat down the panting Sixth Emperor Sister, and then poured her another glass of water.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Cen Xi reprimanded slightly, "In this palace, who is like you?" ”

Cen Yuhe drank all the tea in the cup after a few sips, then looked up at Cen Xi, and said aggrievedly, "I'm not in a hurry, I have to block her every time, otherwise I won't be able to see her at all, I really don't know what she's busy all day long!" ”

Cen Xi shook his head helplessly: "Didn't you still hate her a few days ago?" Why haven't you seen her for a while, but you've been chasing her? ”

Cen Yuhe blushed a little when Cen Xi asked, and looked away and said, "Who, who is chasing her!" I am, it's just ......" After thinking about it, she really couldn't find a reason, so she simply let it go and said, "My father said that if you want to marry me to her, then she will be my husband in the future, since she is my husband, I can't look at her usual conduct?" ”

Cen Xi was shocked, and then a wave of anger flashed from his eyes, and he closed his eyes, trying to calm his mind.

"Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?" Cen Yuhe hadn't heard Cen Xi's voice for a long time, and looked up at him strangely.

"Nothing." Cen Xi's voice was a little cold.

"Something must be wrong." Cen Yuhe affirmed: "Brother Huang, don't you like me to marry Shen Qingzhi?" Then I won't get married, and I'll talk to my father tomorrow. ”

Cen Xi put his hand on Cen Yuhe's shoulder and comforted her, "Brother Huang didn't mean that, don't think about it." After a pause, he added, "Also, no matter what happens in the future, if you like anyone, don't care about the imperial brother, you are the imperial brother's own sister, and the imperial brother will definitely protect you." ”

Cen Yuhe buried his head in Cen Xi's arms, and said with red eyes, "I don't need the protection of the imperial brother, I just want the imperial brother to live well." ”

Cen Xi patted her on the back and didn't speak.

"By the way, what about Shen Qingzhi?" Cen Yuhe spoke: "Why didn't I see her?" ”

Cen Xi was just about to open his mouth to answer, when a fire suddenly appeared in the distance, followed by the panicked shouts of the palace maids and eunuchs, Cen Yu was stunned, and then stood up to take a look.

"Wait." Cen Xi stopped her.

Cen Yuhe looked at him suspiciously, "Brother Huang, don't you go together to see what's going on?" ”

Cen Xi said, "It's on fire, don't go, just stay here, just go alone for your brother." After speaking, Cen Xi ordered Lu Ding to stay and watch Cen Yuhe, and left alone.

"Lu Ding, you don't have to accompany this princess, go and follow the royal brother." Cen Yuhe waved at the black-clothed guard standing aside, "This princess just needs to be accompanied by Hongling." ”

Lu Ding didn't dare to take this ancestor's words seriously, if he really left with His Highness, she would definitely follow secretly.

"His Royal Highness ordered his subordinates to accompany the princess, and his subordinates could not disobey him, and asked the princess not to embarrass his subordinates." Lu Ding said with a tense face.

Cen Yu slapped the stone table angrily and muttered, "Why is the palace full of you wooden fish pimples?" ”

Lu Ding didn't say anything, and went with Cen Yuhe.

Cen Yuhe really didn't have a problem with the emperor's brother, so he said to Hongling beside him, "You go and see what happened, and come back and tell this princess." ”

Hongling answered and left quickly.

Cen Yuhe propped her head on the table boringly, and suddenly she seemed to remember something, and asked Lu Ding, "Where is Shen Qingzhi?" With such a big movement, why hasn't Princess Ben seen her people yet? ”

Lu Ding replied, "Lord Shen Xiang has already left the East Palace. ”

"What?" Cen Yuhe stood up in surprise, "But didn't the palace people say that she came to the imperial brother to be a companion?" ”

"Shen Xiang said that there was something, and His Royal Highness let her leave."

"Why?" Cen Yuhe was very disappointed, "I was thinking that she came back from Jiangnan, so I should see if her injuries are healed." ”

"Shen Xiang will still come back, and it will be the same if the princess will go to see him in the future." Lu Ding Dao.

"That's all it can be." Cen Yuhe sighed.

After saying something to Lu Ding without a stubble, Hongling came back, and she said to Cen Yuhe, "Princess, it is a fire in the Treasure Pavilion, the fire is not big, it has been extinguished, His Royal Highness the Prince asked the slave to come back and tell you that the night is dark, and it is time to go back to the palace to sleep." ”

"Okay." Cen Yuhe nodded.

Leaving the imperial brother's place, Cen Yuhe listlessly walked back to the Jade Heart Palace, when she walked into the dormitory alone, she suddenly saw the hall full of fluorescent flickering, as if the stars in the entire sky had been moved to her dormitory, she looked at everything in front of her in shock, and it took a long time to walk into the hall full of stars.

In front of her dressing mirror was a page of letters, on which were four words: Returning the Dream of the Emperor.
