101. The post-closure ceremony

Tang Xi pursed her lips, she didn't know how to explain, she was naturally not a savior, but she was still used to thinking about problems as Emperor Fengyuan, so in the face of those evil officials, she had no way to pretend not to see it, let alone leave it alone, An Yuanhou matter, it can be said that she had avoided it because of Lu Zheng, if it wasn't for Fu Jinglan forcing her to face it head-on, she probably wouldn't have interfered in this matter.

But how did she explain it to Lu Zheng? There were so many things she couldn't say that she couldn't explain.

So in the end, she could only say very weakly, "I have nothing to say, if you want to avenge your father...... You can choose to kill me. ”

Lu Zheng stared at her tightly, "Do you think I don't dare?" Or do you think I'm going to let you go with my old feelings? Scold...... Tang Xi, don't think that everyone else is a fool, you must know that when you choose to fake your death and leave the capital, our love relationship will be completely broken! ”

"I know, I didn't expect you to be soft on me because of that...... I'm also serious, if you want revenge, come and kill me. Tang Xi looked up into his eyes and replied calmly.

Lu Zheng looked at her, and the time they spent together in the past came to mind, but at the same time, another voice was shouting in his head, don't believe her Lu Zheng! She didn't hesitate to use your feelings in order to recognize her identity in order to return to Daqian, knowing how painful you would be, but she still chose to lie to you, what else do you have to be nostalgic for such a person? What's more, now she's killing your father! The revenge of killing his father is not shared!

In the end, he still looked at her and said, "Don't worry, I will avenge my father...... Don't think that the emperor can bless you for the rest of your life in the palace...... Tang Xi, I will make you pay. ”

Lu Zheng left, Tang Xi's emotions also sank to the bottom, if she didn't want to help Huo Jinyan for the last time, she really didn't mind giving this life to Lu Zheng on the spot, as long as she could calm his anger......

Since she was reborn, Lu Zheng was the first person to release kindness to her, even if she was always unforgiving at that time, but he was still very good to her, so she lied to him, she would be so guilty, if she could really do it in this life and never see her again, it would be fine, but she made people, she appeared in front of him again, and finally killed his father.

So in fact, now that Lu Zheng hates her, she has done it herself, and she should bear it head-on, no matter what he does in the future, she can only back down...... It wasn't until half a year later that her life came to an end.

At night, Tang Xi sat on the bed in a daze, and Huo Jinyan, who had not been seen for a few days, reappeared.

She was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Your news is really well-informed." Huo Jinyan should have heard the news that Lu Zheng came to her, so he was a little worried about her.

Huo Jinyan pursed his lips, "When Lu Zheng arrived in the capital today, I knew about it, and I guessed that he would come to you." ”

Tang Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Feng Lie, this kid, I don't know when he learned so badly, he treats me like a woman so badly, Feng Lie can appear on my side, no matter how you think about it, it's Feng Lie's acquiescence." ”

Huo Jinyan looked at her lost look, and couldn't help but raise his hand and pat her head, "It's me who is not good, if I had solved An Yuanhou earlier, you would not have been so embarrassed." ”

Tang Xi couldn't cry or laugh, "How can I blame you?" No one is to blame for this...... If you really want to blame, you can only blame the creation for making people, why is An Yuanhou a wicked person? ”

"Do you care so much about Lu Zheng?"

Tang Xi wanted to nod, but the desire to survive made her pause, and then she reacted, although Huo Jinyan seemed to be unfazed, but in fact, she was obviously jealous when she asked this sentence!

So when the words came to her mouth, she immediately turned a corner, she took Huo Jinyan's hand with great sincerity, and said seriously, "The person I care about the most is of course you!" After speaking, he glanced at Huo Jinyan's face, and when he saw the corners of his slightly upturned mouth, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued, "It's just that Lu Zheng is also my friend, and I was sorry for him in this matter, and I was already ashamed in my heart, and I couldn't explain anything, so I could only watch him hate me...... Naturally, I'm in a bad mood. ”

Huo Jinyan sat next to her, pulled her head over with one hand and put it on his shoulder, and said lightly, "It's okay, when I take you away from Fengyuan, even if he hates you, he can't do anything anymore." ”

Tang Xi pillowed on his shoulder, and the depression in his heart seemed to dissipate a little, but after thinking about it, he still said, "But...... Isn't he your friend, too? Now it's drifting away from you...... Won't you feel sad in your heart? ”

Huo Jinyan was silent for a while before speaking, "Indeed, Lu Zheng is special to me, in the years since I came to Fengyuan, I have not had much sense of belonging here, and I will not have any feelings for most people, only two people are special to me, one is you, and the other is Lu Zheng." ”

Huo Jinyan's voice also seemed to have a faint melancholy, and the bits and pieces since he met Lu Zheng were quickly replayed in his mind, and he sighed softly, "I just helped you casually, but Lu Zheng thought that I saved him, so he was quite stalked, even though I always treated him coldly, but he never gave up, until one day, he suddenly called me." Third brother', at that moment I had insight into his intentions, he felt that I was too lonely, so he called me like this, he wanted me to feel that I still have a family in this world. ”

He chuckled, "Actually, I think he's stupid, but it was also at that moment that I suddenly had a little different feeling about this teenager, and it was also the first time that I had the concept of the word 'friend' in my life...... I think he'd be a good friend. ”

Tang Xi listened very seriously, and from his words, he seemed to be able to imagine what he felt at the time, the former Lu Zheng was a lively and cheerful teenager, who did he really want to approach, probably no one could really refuse, right? Because he is like a blazing sun, his passion is like fire, and no one can resist such temptation.

So in the same way, when you have to say goodbye to this friend, it is inevitable to feel sad in your heart.

Huo Jinyan's voice was faint, but Tang Xi still heard a little regret from it, "Maybe I shouldn't have approached from the beginning, if I didn't get closer, I wouldn't be in the trouble I have now." ”

"When he came back, he was very sad to hear that I had resigned and left...... I probably felt the same way that I was deceived, and I thought that I had never regarded him as a friend, so I didn't tell him when I left, and he would definitely hate me, right? The friend who was sincerely treated by him abandoned him like this. ”

Tang Xi felt uncomfortable, she raised her head to look at Huo Jinyan, and said seriously, "You don't need to blame yourself, I know you are for his good...... After all, it is a big trouble for anyone involved in the affairs of South Vietnam. ”

Huo Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Now that you comfort me, you are talking about the Tao, what about you?" Don't you have the same troubles? It's all because I don't want my secrets to affect others, so I chose not to say it, since I have already made such a choice, why bother to be sad again? ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, "Okay, I know." ”

"Well, we are just a passerby in Lu Zheng's life, although An Yuanhou has fallen now, everyone still remembers An Yuanhou's contribution to Feng Yuan, especially Feng Lie, he will not forget, plus Lu Zheng is now performing very well at the border, Feng Lie will not treat him badly in the future, his future is very good...... There will be a great future. ”

Tang Xi let out a "hmm", and knew that it was useless to dwell on Lu Zheng's issue, so he didn't think about it anymore, and asked instead, "How have you prepared these days?" Take me away from Feng Yuan...... Probably more troublesome, right? ”

"It's okay, leave this matter to me, you don't need to think about it, just take care of your injuries, is the wound still painful these days?"

Tang Xi shook his head, "It doesn't hurt too much, the wound is not too deep, it just looks scary, and in another five or six days, there will be no problem in hurrying." ”

"Okay, then wait another six days, and then I'll take you away."

Tang Xi saw that what he said was so light-hearted, but he also knew in his heart that this matter was definitely not simple, so he couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry...... It always seems to be causing you trouble. ”

"If you feel sorry for me, you will be kind to me in the future...... Stop thinking about leaving me. ”

Tang Xi smiled lightly, "Okay, if you don't leave, even if you die, the ashes will follow you." ”

In the dark, Tang Xi didn't see the change in Huo Jinyan's expression at that moment when she said "dead", he looked at the top of her head with deep eyes, his voice was very soft, but it showed a different kind of firmness, "You won't die." ”

Somehow, his tone gave people a strange feeling, and Tang Xi's heart jumped when he listened, and he couldn't help but raise his head to look at him, "What did you say?" ”

Huo Jinyan smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Why is there such a big reaction?" I said that you won't die, and with me by your side to protect you, how could I make you have trouble? ”

"Oh......" Tang Xi smiled reluctantly, but he was shocked in his heart, carefully observing his expression, wondering if he knew something, but seeing that his expression was normal, there was no worry or anger, and it didn't look like he knew anything at all, so he had to let go of his suspicion and comfort himself that he was just thinking too much.

The two sat for a while, Tang Xi said that he was sleepy, Huo Jinyan didn't say anything, just let her rest and left.

In the night, no one knew that there had been a pair of eyes staring at Jingyang Palace, from Huo Jinyan's coming to his departure, they all fell in that person's eyes, but he didn't make the slightest move, let Huo Jinyan come calmly, and left calmly.

Early the next morning, Fu Jinglan, who hadn't seen her for a long time, suddenly came to the door, she didn't see her for a few days, she seemed to have calmed down, and this time she came to apologize to Tang Xi, "I'm sorry, I didn't have a good attitude that day, I hope the princess won't meet me in general." ”

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "What?" Suddenly figured it out? ”

Fu Jinglan smiled bitterly, "I can't leave the palace in a short time, and I still have to rely on the princess to take care of me in the future, how dare I be rash again?" ”

Tang Xi smiled, "It's best if Concubine Lan can figure it out by herself, and it will save me trouble." ”

"In order to show my sincerity, I will remind the princess, a few days ago I contacted the master, he knows everything you are doing here, you killed Li Sheng, the master is very dissatisfied, so let me pay more attention to you, if you are really disobedient...... My master allowed me to take my place. ”

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "Oh? She looked Fu Jinglan up and down, "Why haven't you seen you for a few days, your thinking and consciousness have changed?" If you can replace it, it should be a good thing for you, right? Shouldn't you be watching my actions and then find an opportunity to take the position? Why are you running to remind me that you're here? ”

Fu Jinglan smiled, "The princess laughed, I still know in my heart how many catties and taels I have, I must admit that you are right, a substitute is destined to not go far, now I have lost my freshness in the emperor's place, if necessary, he can also find many people similar to that person, I will never be the only one." ”

"So, you think I'll be the only one?"

"Isn't it? I have been in the palace for a few months, and I have received a lot of grace at the beginning, but I feel that the emperor's love for me is completely different from that for you, when he is with me, it is always as if he is looking at another person through me, and you are different, your joys, sorrows, and sorrows are just you in his eyes, and you are the one who really won his heart. ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, "So you think you can't replace me, so you simply surrender to me?" ”

"Yes, so does the princess accept it or not?"

Tang Xi shrugged his shoulders, "To me, it seems that one more of you is not too much, and one less of you is not a lot." ”

Fu Jinglan pursed her lips and forced a smile, "It's all ...... Or maybe it's useful, right? ”

Tang Xi paused, and suddenly thought of something, so he pretended to be careless and mentioned, "I remember, the people in your palace will go out of the palace to purchase, right?" If you take more people out, it shouldn't be too difficult? ”

Fu Jinglan glanced at her with some surprise, and hesitated, "Who does the princess want to take out?" ”

Tang Xi knocked on the table thoughtfully, and then replied casually, "It's nothing, it's just that I want to go out of the palace in a few days, but I don't want the emperor to know." ”

Fu Jinglan frowned, "This ...... The princess's injuries are not yet healed, what are you doing out of the palace? ”

"If you have my own intentions, you can say yes or no."

Seeing that Tang Xi was already a little impatient, Fu Jinglan could only nod and say, "It's not difficult...... But I'm afraid it won't take long for the emperor to find out, after all, what happened in this palace, the hardest thing to hide is the emperor's eyes. ”

"It's okay, I won't be out for too long, I'll naturally come back before he finds out."

"Alright then, just say it when the princess needs it."

Tang Xi said "um", "This thing is done, I owe you a favor, and I will naturally not treat you badly in the future." ”

Fu Jinglan nodded, then said a few more casual words to Tang Xi, and then said goodbye and left.

After Fu Jinglan left, Bai Lu couldn't help but ask, "What is the princess going to do when he leaves the palace?" ”

Tang Xi said lightly, "I'm going to see Lu Zheng, that day he came to me with the emperor's acquiescence to find trouble with me, just to force me to be soft, but at this time, you can't lose, so I deliberately didn't say anything, but after all, I don't want to make enemies at will, I still have to find a chance to make it clear, and I can't let the emperor know, starting from Fu Jinglan's side is naturally the best way." ”

Bai Lu wondered, "But...... Is this explanation clear? ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, "It's just to let him divert his attention, I just need to tell him that I am entrusted by Concubine Lan, and he will naturally deal with the culprit first." ”

Bai Lu was taken aback when she heard this, "Are you going to push Concubine Lan out?" But didn't you just say ......"

"Concubine Lan is useless now, and it is better to kill her with the risk of being exposed again."

Bai Lu was shocked when she heard this, and for the first time felt that Tang Xi was such a ruthless person, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she changed the topic and said, "But Lu Zheng hates you to the bone, if you rush to find him, what if he can't help but do something to you?" ”

Tang Xi chuckled, "Isn't that better?" I can't hide it for long when I leave the palace, if he does it to me at that time, I will stage a bitter trick again, with the secret guard that Huo Jinyan left for me before leaving, I can't do anything, but Lu Zheng...... But you will surely die. ”

Bai Lu knew the relationship between Tang Xi and Lu Zheng, so when she heard her thoughts at this time, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, she could treat her former friends so ruthlessly, it seemed that the master really chose the right person...... It's only fitting that Princess Xi should complete this task.

Tang Xi made up a story to deceive Bai Lu, and after that, it was not difficult for them to cooperate with him, and with Fu Jinglan's help, they could still drag Feng Lie on for a while, and then they would be more sure of their actions.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Tang Xi thought that Feng Lie would not see her again in the last few days she had left in the palace, but she didn't expect that Feng Lie would come to Jingyang Palace two days later.

Tang Xi felt strange in his heart, but he didn't say anything on his face, he still said goodbye to Feng Lie with a faint expression, and then stood there without speaking.

Feng Lie didn't even get angry at her cold attitude, but after looking at her for a while, he suddenly said, "Get ready, five days later, I will hold a post-sealing ceremony." ”

Tang Xi's brain was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously asked, "After the seal?" Who is the queen? ”

Feng Lie looked at her expressionlessly, "What do you say?" ”

"......" can't be her, right? Her expression was instantly terrifying, this stimulation was too sudden, she really didn't control her expression, she grew her mouth, and said in surprise, "You want to make me the queen?" ”

"Yes, prepare well, after the sealing, the ceremony will be simple, and your injuries should not be any problems."

Do you know I have a wound? Tang Xi almost wanted to knock his head open to see what was inside, obviously he was still in a cold war, why was he suddenly about to be sealed? What kind of magical leap thinking is this?

She tried her best to control her expression and asked, "Your Majesty...... Are you sure? Don't you need to think about it again? And even if you're sure, you don't have to rush it, right? My injury is not healed yet, why don't you slow it down again? ”

A hint of gloom crossed Feng Lie's eyes, and then he sneered, "I thought you would be happy." ”

Tang Xi choked, and then squeezed out a smile, "I'm very happy...... It's just a little too sudden, and I can't slow it down......"

Feng Lie got up and said lightly, "I have already sent the edict down, you should prepare well." ”

...... "Okay, you, now you have learned to cut first and then play?" Tang Xi looked at the back of his head, and his hands were itchy and wanted to knock on it.

Feng Lie glanced back at her as if he had a feeling, "If you need anything, tell the palace people, and if you have any requirements, you can also ask for it, and I will meet you." ”

Tang Xi squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Feng Lie turned and walked towards the outside of the house, "Next time, don't thank me with such a gritted expression. ”

“……”

After Feng Lie left, Bai Lu and Qingshuang walked in, and when they saw Tang Xi's dejected expression, they hurriedly asked, "Princess, what did the emperor say?" ”

Tang Xi had a dreamlike expression on his face," he said...... Let me prepare for the ceremony, five days later. ”

"What?" Bai Lu exclaimed, a look of joy in her eyes, "Are you serious?" ”

Tang Xi nodded mechanically, "It's more real than real gold." ”

Qingshuang was also shocked, a little incredulous, she succeeded like this?

Compared with the ecstasy of the two maids, Tang Xi's performance seemed a little abnormal, so after Bai Lu finally calmed down, she remembered and asked, "Princess, are you unhappy?" ”

"Huh?" Tang Xi came back to his senses, and then hurriedly said, "No, how can you be unhappy?" I'm just a little weird...... It's so sudden, do you always feel like a trap? ”

Bai Lu said helplessly, "What trap?" It's clearly a pie! What does the emperor want to do and use traps? You're thinking too much! ”

Tang Xi had to squeeze out a smile, "Okay, I hope I'm thinking too much." ”

She was mainly thinking about it at this moment, looking at Feng Lie's words just now, obviously he also knew in his heart that he didn't really want to marry him, so why did he suddenly ignore the thirty-seven twenty-one and be sealed? Isn't that a bit like his style? So she always felt that something was wrong.

But fortunately, it was five days after the seal, and she was going to leave in three days, so it was destined to be unsealed, but she was a little skeptical, would Feng Lie be aware of her leaving? But it shouldn't be...... If Feng Lie knew that Huo Jinyan was back, then he would definitely arrest Huo Jinyan as soon as possible, there was no reason to deal with her.

And even if he found out that Huo Jinyan was in and out of Jingyang Palace, at most he thought that she was stealing people, and it was impossible to think that she would be ready to leave, no matter how he thought about the logic, it didn't make sense, so could it really be that she was thinking too much?

But no matter what, she can't change her actions after three days, otherwise she will really marry Feng Lie...... In that case, she would probably have to commit suicide on the wedding night to apologize!
