Cheng Jingxi stood under the porch, looking up at the cage-like walls around her.

On the night of the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, Cheng Jingheng had a long talk with her until late at night, in addition to brainwashing her in a deep circle, he also forced her to set a rule - she was not allowed to leave the capital for two years after leaving the palace.

She didn't know what the two-year period meant, or what fate would meet her after two years.

But she could only thank Lord Longen, and she didn't dare to have any objections.

Bi'er took a robe and put it on her body with a living look in her eyes, "Your Highness, seeing that it is late autumn, the sky is starting to get cold. ”

It seems to be a little cold.

"Your Highness, do you have anything you particularly want to eat at noon? The slave told the kitchen to do it! ”

Cheng Jingxi was silent for a while, shook her head and said, "No, I'll go out." ”

Bi'er said quickly: "Where is Your Highness?" Do you need slaves to follow? ”

Cheng Jingxi stared at her with her eyes, Bi'er realized something, and hurriedly put a seal on her mouth.

"Go and prepare the carriage, and remember to give orders to the coachman."

"Yes, slave and maid will do it." Bi'er answered and trotted away.

Cheng Jingxi entered the palace twice in a row, and the road was wild both times, Cheng Jingheng had just left the morning court, and the old eunuch who followed him hurriedly came forward to report, saying that the eldest princess Jiayue ran to the door of the study and knelt again.

Cheng Jingheng's dark face was instantly covered with 10,000-year-old frost, he took two quick steps, suddenly turned around and took out the dust in his little father-in-law's hand, and threw it out rudely.

The father-in-law hurriedly knelt down.

Cheng Jingheng snorted coldly, and walked forward alone without much patience.

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly went to pick up the dust, waved his hand to several fathers-in-law and signaled that he would go down first and not follow, and he walked a few steps to catch up.

At the door of the study, I saw someone kneeling there upright from a distance, the whirlpool under Cheng Jingheng's eyes seemed to be bound to roll up all the things he saw, but he was still silent, and even the breath exhaled was very peaceful, like the calm of the wind and waves wrapped in the storm carelessly-

If you're not careful, you'll explode.

Cheng Jingxi heard the footsteps, and her upper body straightened up, until the footsteps stopped behind her, and she suddenly realized that her breathing seemed to have been frozen for a long time.

"Sister Huang." Cheng Jingheng spoke softly, with a sigh in his words.

Cheng Jingxi knelt in place and turned in a circle, kowtowing to him, "Jingxi see the emperor." ”

Cheng Jingheng's eyes flashed with anger, and there seemed to be anger in his heart, but there was nowhere and no way to vent.

This time, he didn't let Cheng Jingxi kneel for too long, and when he walked past her and walked inside, he left a calm and waveless voice behind him, "Sister Huang, come in and say something, Gonggong Gao is guarding outside!" ”

Father-in-law Gao is the old eunuch.

Cheng Jingxi entered the palace for two days in a row to put a bitter gourd face on him, Cheng Jingheng had every reason to be angry, and in fact, his anger was indeed very obvious.

He didn't even have his usual steadiness and self-control, and his words were snarky.

"Sister Huang is still here for your wasteful husband?"

Cheng Jingxi lowered her eyebrows and said slowly: "Yes." ”

"Oh?" Cheng Jingheng smiled lukewarmly, "What did the imperial sister guess this time?" Yesterday, the imperial sister asked for a call from me, and only said the purpose, but did not tell the reason, can you think about it today? ”

Cheng Jingxi's reply was very stingy, and when she heard it, she said, "I've thought about it." ”

Cheng Jingheng burst out of an evil fire in his heart, he forcibly suppressed it, and said coldly: "Say it!" ”

"Jingxi is going to save his life."

Cheng Jingheng smiled angrily, "How can the imperial sister save it?" Is there someone in the hands of the royal sister, or is there something to rely on? ”

"Jing Xi has nothing in her hands, only one life."

"Ridiculous!"

"If he dies, Jing Xi doesn't want to live either!" She said quickly, "But if he is lucky not to die, Jing Xi wants to accompany him." ”

Cheng Jingheng suddenly sneered, "Does the imperial sister want to take my words as a deaf ear?" ”

"Jing Xi doesn't dare," Cheng Jing Xi was neither humble nor arrogant, and said respectfully, "It is precisely because Jing Xi remembers what the emperor said that he will come to intercede several times, Ye Huaiyu can't die, at least now is not the time!" ”

Cheng Jingheng didn't speak for a long time, he was silent for a long time, and he asked her: "Why does the imperial sister think that I want to kill him?" ”

"Jingheng," Cheng Jingxi suddenly slowed down her voice, and boldly called the current emperor's name, "Do you think that after so many years in the palace, I am just an arrogant princess who kills innocents indiscriminately?" ”

Cheng Jingheng froze the moment she called out his name, the pen in his hand was dipped in ink, but it was hanging in the air, and it couldn't fall for a long time, the rice paper dripped a little thicker, and after fainting, it spread infinitely, and the twigs and vine-like things seemed to grow directly from the paper into the heart, and instantly crawled all the corners.

Static.

The name has been gone for three years.

Since he was nine years old, no one dared to call him that way.

Now that he is only twelve years old, he often feels that his heart is dying, like a lonely old man who has not run out of oil and still covets the world.

And her soft call is like a return to the light.

But she is just a call, from the day he ascended the throne, they are no longer the happy sisters and brothers who shuttle between the palace gates.

He knew it, and she knew it better.

"Sister Huang, what does this mean?" It seemed that he had exhausted his greatest self-sustaining strength to squeeze these words out of his throat without waves.

Cheng Jingxi lowered her head, she hadn't raised it since she came in, "The emperor has recently brought up a lot of people who have belittled the emperor, what Jingxi said is right?" ”

Cheng Jingheng's heart gradually calmed down, and he even felt that he had almost lost his temper quite funny.

"The emperor deliberately let Jing Xi see the chapter, but it was the courtiers who recommended people to go to the Ministry of Rites to fill the vacancy, if Jing Xi guessed correctly, the stack of stacks thrown down yesterday should be about that incident." Cheng Jingxi's wording is not too sure, but some things are well known to each other, so they can understand everything with just a little dialing, and there is no need to waste words.

So she didn't need to say that he did it on purpose, and he knew that she meant it.

Cheng Jingheng did not deny it, "So what? ”

"More than half of the available people left by the emperor for the emperor are still degraded outside, even if they are hurriedly brought up from the place during this period of time, the available places are extremely limited," Cheng Jingxi spoke slowly, for fear that he would anger him if he said it quickly, "So, where did the emperor's thousand elite soldiers come from?" ”

The pen in Cheng Jingheng's hand suddenly broke and split into two.

Cheng Jingxi's lowered eyes instantly reddened, not for anything else, but for her own stupidity.

Yesterday, she was distracted, and she was fooled by Cheng Jingheng's words like a fool, and she really thought that he would send elite soldiers to Ye Huaiyu to help. But she forgot that Cheng Jingheng had only been on the throne for more than three months, even if he had secretly prepared for the three years he had been dormant, but the courtiers were staring at him like wolves, how could he be so blatant as to say that he had elite soldiers in his hands?

If it was really an elite soldier, then the Yuan family would never have gone to her yard again and again yesterday afternoon.

The Yuan family was not voluntary, but must have been entrusted by Ye Er.

Ye Er is an official in the court, and unless necessary, he can't get out of the capital. And in the past two days, she didn't find any new footprints on the wall, indicating that no one came to deliver the message, and he was in a hurry, so he happened to take advantage of the big black cat to come and find out.

The first time I came was just a little temptation, and after seeing that she had indeed entered the palace, she completely pushed the black cat out.

He may not know whether the elite soldiers are real or not, or the messenger may have told him that the elite soldiers were just a façade, but no news came back for three days, so that he had to doubt the authenticity of the messenger's source.

But he was disappointed, because at that time, Cheng Jingxi herself was still confused, and she didn't sleep all night to figure out the joints, and everything was still speculation and no real evidence.

In fact, Cheng Jingheng said that it was an "elite soldier" but it was not all fake, at least it should be a soldier carefully selected by him.

If the guess is right, seven or eight times out of ten those people are some waste.

The waste snacks that are inextricably linked to the courtiers may also be part of their relatives.

He is already pro-government, and all the decisions he makes have the right to be desperate, even if the courtiers are dissatisfied, they only dare to write excerpts, but it depends on Cheng Jingheng's mood or not, which is actually not of much use.

And these courtiers who were selected must only be shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but they were brought together by the situation, and Cheng Jingheng, the person who really had the final say, would not touch it.

Therefore, even if some people are dissatisfied with the boss in their hearts, they can only swallow their anger, thinking that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

Cheng Jingheng threw the broken pen to the ground irritably, looking angry after being exposed, "I do things, when will it be the turn of the imperial sister to comment?" ”

Cheng Jingxi knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Jingxi doesn't want to comment on anything, how can what the emperor do can be controlled by others, Jingxi just wants to beg the emperor to let Ye Huaiyu go." ”

She relied on her own blind guessing about the elite soldiers, and what really convinced her guess was the book that Cheng Jingheng seemed to mention casually before leaving the palace yesterday.

What could be interesting to him?

It's just watching the people below fight each other, and then he will be in charge and implement his own checks and balances in it.

It is also because of this that there is soft language persecution in today's study.

She was forcing him to come to his rescue.

She has no power to restrain the chicken, and all she can rely on is the emperor sitting above the court.

"Please let him go?" Cheng Jingheng suddenly got up and walked quickly to Cheng Jingxi, he looked down at her, his tone was quite irritable, "When did I want his life?" He is the husband of the imperial sister, the concubine, and my in-law, so why should I want his life? There were bandits in the east, and I had no one to use them, so it was the old marshal who recommended him to me. I really don't have anyone in my hands, but those soldiers are really all I can get right now, but what I didn't expect to get was such groundless accusations from the imperial sister, I am really wronged! ”

Cheng Jingxi was unmoved, her head slammed on the ground, as if she had sworn not to give up.
