Chapter 84

Si Kouxi established his prestige for Jin Shen in the court, and also created a ruthless image for himself, and in the people, Si Kouxi, as the princess of Tengxiao Kingdom, brought economic development to the Jianian Dynasty and won the praise of the people. It is estimated that only Mu Xi's old department hates Si Kouxi now, but they are also very aware of Si Kouxi's strength, so they will not do the matter of eggs touching stones.

The most important thing Si Kouxi did when he came here was to see Mu Xi, so he took Si Kouxi to see Mu Xi in the dungeon at night after taking care of the matter at hand. The two of them walked on the deep road, Si Kouxi looked at the huge palace, except for the soldiers guarding it, there was no life, and she looked at the still very young Jin Shen beside her. She said slowly: "Jinshen, do you feel lonely in this huge palace?" Jin Shen did feel that this palace was a little deserted, but the thought of having to deal with so many political affairs every day made him feel a headache, he shook his head and said, "Sister, there are so many political affairs every day, I shouldn't have time to be lonely." Si Kouxi thought about how he had been busy dealing with political affairs in the past two days, and felt that it was right, there should be no time to be lonely.

"Sincerely, what is the situation with Princess Geyan?" Si Kouxi suddenly thought of that lively and lovely girl. Jin Shen didn't expect his sister to ask, but when he thought of Ge Yan, he thought of the way she turned over and dismounted in armor that day, and the corners of her mouth inevitably rose: "She led thousands of iron horsemen from the northwest to support me, and now she is playing here, and it is not that the palace can't afford to raise a girl, so I will let her stay here." ”

Si Kouxi noticed the corners of Jin Shen's raised mouth, and she said meaningfully: "If you like it, don't let others go back." Jin Shen was confused by his sister's sudden words, and he was a little embarrassed. Si Kouxi didn't look at whether his brother was embarrassed, but said directly: "When you ascend to the throne, there will be people who are worried about the queen's position, it is better for you to find a queen who you like and is strong, then no one will interfere with your feelings." ”

I would like to buckle my head and say, "Sister, it's still early." Si Kouxi glanced at him and said, "Yes, it's still early, but some people won't think it's early." I think you can last two years at most, and after two years, it will be a good choice. "I know that there are some things that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry. Sister's words are not wrong, he will last for two years at most, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Sister, you say these ministers are so idle?" Si Kouxi smiled and said: "The emperor has a child, which means that there is a successor, and the people below will feel at ease." ”

Jin Shen thought of Lan Qiong, who was also the emperor and was alone, and asked about his situation, Si Kouxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you still care about others?" He's got a goal, Yan Sook. Jin Shen was surprised by the "tsk" in his mouth, he felt that Lan Qiong and Yan Shu had something to do at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to be true, Jin Shen looked at his sister's thin but resolute figure, and suddenly said affectionately: "Sister, you have worked hard!" Si Kouxi was also a little moved by Jinshen's sudden sensibility. But she was more of a joke.

"Yes, great work! The lifelong events of the two emperors have fallen on my head, one is the eldest sister like a mother, and the other is the eldest sister-in-law like a mother, can I not be tired of having two more sons out of thin air? "I want to touch my nose, whether I can meet the person I like is not my own problem.

After chatting, the two of them walked to the front of the dungeon, and signaled the guards to open the door. Si Kouxi felt the damp and cold of the dungeon, thinking that a pampered person like Mu Xi should be unable to endure such an environment. Si Kouxi and Jin Shen walked to a cell door, and the jailer lit the candle and retreated. Mu Xi had long been accustomed to the dark environment, and suddenly someone lit a candle. It made him a little difficult to adapt, Mu Xi raised his head and saw the two people in front of him.

One of them was a son he was familiar with, and the other was a woman, but she stood in the shadows and couldn't see clearly. Si Kouxi slowly stepped forward and stared coldly at Mu Xi, who was unkempt and skinny in front of him. Mu Xi looked at the face of the woman in front of him who was getting clearer and clearer, those eyes were very similar to He Shu's staring at himself before he died, and he suddenly had an illusion that He Shu came back to settle accounts with him. Suddenly, a chill rose from the soles of my feet, and my body couldn't help but tremble.

Jin Shen wondered why he was trembling suddenly, Si Kouxi looked at Mu Xi's trembling body and sneered: "Mu Xi, you see that you are thin." She grabbed Mu Xi's shoulders as soon as she could, and her strength was very heavy. Mu Xi used to be strong in martial arts, but when he was locked in, he broke his tendons and feet, and now he can only endure it silently. "Do you often dream back at midnight that I am coming to you, and dream that I am looking at you in the fire?" The strength of the hands is heavier.

Mu Xi trembled even more, and some painful whimpering sounded between his teeth. Jin Shen, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but sneer, Mu Xi trembled so much that he was afraid of his mother, afraid that his mother would come to him to ask for his life. What a sad thing this is, it is sad that his mother actually paid for such a man.

Mu Xi noticed that the woman's voice was not quite right, he suddenly raised his head, stared at the woman in front of him, and found that it was not He Shu at all, he was annoyed and angry and slammed Si Kouxi away, Si Kouxi was already on guard and was lightly bumped. Mu Xi grinned and asked, "Who are you?" "Maybe it's because I haven't spoken for too long, and my voice is hoarse.

Si Kouxi slowly stood up, looked down at Mu Xi and said, "Have you forgotten the little girl who came to accompany her aunt every year?" I've seen how you killed your aunt. Mu Xi thought about it carefully, and then remembered that little girl ten years ago, there was indeed such a little girl, and He Shu loved to teach her very much back then.

Mu Xi was not interested in this little girl, but sneered: "He Shu burned himself back then, and it has nothing to do with me." Si Kouxi sneered and said: "You can clear your name if you have nothing to do with me, you can cover up the facts, and you can be at ease?" If you hadn't forced your aunt to hand over the Fire Talisman, how would her aunt have died? Mu Xi was not to be outdone even if she was dying, and shouted: "Then wouldn't it be good if she handed it over?" I am the emperor of this country, what is she doing with a woman holding a military talisman! ”

Si Kouxi said lightly: "Because she saw your face clearly. And you're already a prisoner. Mu Xi didn't want to listen to this woman talking nonsense to herself here, sprinkling salt on her wounds. He snorted coldly: "It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs." What kind of messy people come here and shout at me, Mu Jinshen, you are a waste, and I still have to find a woman to deal with. I have the ability to kill me with a knife. ”

The more Mu Jinshen looked at the person in front of him now, the more he felt that he was stupid and that he was hopeless. He leaned into Mu Xi's ear and said in a ghostly voice: "Do you know that it is the woman in front of you, who reorganizes the Flame Army, and it is her husband who helps her bring troops from Tengxiao Country to support me and deceive you!" Mu Xi looked at Jin Shen in disbelief, and then looked at Si Kouxi. Before Jin Shen finished speaking, he continued: "Your fate today is all thanks to her, although I will also deal with you, but with her help I can deal with you more easily." Do you know why all this is? It's because you killed your mother that we want to avenge her! After speaking, he grabbed Mu Xi's neck, Mu Xi felt like he was going to suffocate, and his eyes began to roll.

Jin Shen suddenly let go, he took a step back and tidied up his shirt and said, "Don't worry, you can still live for a while, and you should always be allowed to take another look at your country before you die." Jin Shen's tone was so light that it seemed that the person who had just choked Mu Xi's neck was not himself. Jin Shen whispered to her sister, "Sister, go back first." Si Kouxi nodded, followed Jin Shen and left the dark and damp cell.

The jailer came in and took the menorah away, and the cell was plunged into darkness at once. Mu Xi has not yet reacted from his fear of dying, Mu Jinshen just now is too scary, he does not have the gentleness of He Shu at all, and the woman just now is too, she actually planned the plan to overthrow herself. Mu Xi suddenly felt a little ridiculed, in his life, he succeeded because of He Shu, but he lost because of He Shu. Although he never admitted in front of others that most of his thrones were taken back by He Shu in life and death, he deeply understood in his heart that maybe it was because of this that he couldn't tolerate He Shu.

In Mu Xi's memory, he didn't react to extinguish the fire and rescue He Shu, but the fact was that he watched the fire engulf He Shu, and only called someone to fight the fire when it was irreparable. It was precisely because he knew that he was the real culprit who killed He Shu that he was afraid that he forcibly reversed his memory.

After Jin Shen came out, he asked his sister why she didn't kill Mu Xi, Si Kouxi looked at the moon in the sky and sighed: "The moon was also so round on the day my aunt left, but it was not this color, but red." Jin Shen lowered his head, his eyes were a little red, he knew why the moon was red, because the fire of the palace reflected the moon red, and his mother's blood stained the moon red. Jin Shen no longer asked why he didn't kill Mu Xi, because Mu Xi couldn't die so happily.

Jin Shen didn't sleep all night last night, and practiced martial arts on the school field early, and his sword was played by him. When Ge Yan came to the school grounds, Jin Shen was already sweating profusely, but he obviously had no intention of stopping. Jin Shen's sword and sword were extremely fast, Ge Yan didn't dare to go up and disturb him, and when Si Kouxi came, he saw the girl frowning and looking at Jin Shen.

Ge Yan noticed Si Kouxi's arrival, she leaned over to Si Kouxi's side and whispered, "Sister, I don't think Brother Jinshen is in a good mood. "Si Kouxi knows that Jin Shen is thinking of his mother, Mu Xi's words last night should have stimulated him, he has not been so out of control since his mother left, but it is not impossible to vent by practicing the sword." He must have remembered some people from the past. Si Kouxi's tone was also a little nostalgic. Is it Queen Heshu? Geyan said unconsciously.

Si Kouxi glanced at Ge Yan in surprise, she didn't expect this little girl to actually know He Shu. Ge Yan noticed Si Kouxi's eyes, and suddenly realized that he might have offended Empress He Shu, and immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake. Si Kouxi didn't mind, just asked, "How do you know Empress He Shu?" Geyan immediately said what he knew.

It turned out that when He Shu visited the King of the Northwest, she had secretly seen it and had a deep impression of He Shu. "My father and queen mother often talked about this heroine, she was the only beautiful woman I had an impression of in my childhood. But it's a pity that I only saw her once, and for the last time. There was real pity in her tone. Si Kouxi knew that the last person she visited her aunt before her death was the king of the northwest, and then she stayed in the deep palace until she died. Therefore, this is also the reason why Jin Shen contacted the king of the northwest from the beginning to support his overthrow of Mu Xi's rule.

Si Kouxi asked Zhongmou, who was standing on the side, "How long have you been practicing like this?" Zhongmou sighed and said, "It's almost an hour." "It's also the first time that Zhongmou has seen Jinshen so out of control. Si Kouxi shook his head, drew his sword, and rushed forward to fight with Jinshen. After a few moves, Si Kouxi pressed down Jinshen's sword and said solemnly: "It's okay, if you continue like this, you will be injured." Jin Shen also stopped, gasping for breath all the time.

He actually felt his own detachment, but he just didn't want to stop, he wanted to vent the resentment in his heart. Si Kouxi raised his sword when he saw that Jin Shen had calmed down, and Ge Yan praised Si Kouxi even more than before. She leaned over to Si Kouxi and said, "Sister, you are really powerful, just like Brother Jinshen said, you are better than him." Before Si Kouxi could reply, he saw Ge Yan running to Jin Shen's side with a handkerchief, shushing and asking for warmth.
