After Huo Jinyan left, Tang Ximei slept well, and was woken up by Bai Lu and Qingshuang the next day.

Tang Xi rubbed his eyes, looked at the nervous white dew Qingshuang, and couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of expression do you have?" What's wrong? ”

Seeing that she was awake, Bai Lu hurriedly asked, "What was wrong with the princess last night?" ”

Tang Xi was stunned, "Strange? What's unusual? I just got a good night's sleep, what's wrong? ”

When Bai Lu heard this, his face became even more strange, looking at Tang Xi's ignorant appearance, so he leaned over and said mysteriously, "Last night, all the people in our palace seemed to be on the road, and they all fell asleep without knowing why, and a few people still spent the night in the corridor outside!" A bag that was bitten by a mosquito! ”

When Tang Xi heard her say this, he realized that this was Huo Jinyan's masterpiece last night...... Really, I don't know how to move people back into the house? Now everyone is panicking......

She didn't know that Huo Jinyan had rushed all the way here after coming down from the battlefield, and there were several wounds on his body that had not yet healed, where did he have any other strength and mind to carry people? It's just that Tang Xi can burst out with the strength of a princess's hug.

In order not to let the two of them notice anything unusual, Tang Xi suddenly showed a look of surprise, "There is such a thing?" What's the loss? ”

Bai Lu shook his head, "This is the strange place, after all of us found out about the abnormality in the morning, we all hurriedly checked the belongings in the palace, and also counted the number of people, neither anyone was killed, nor was there any loss of property, so I came over to see if there was anything wrong with you." ”

Tang Xi also looked puzzled, "Then what's going on?" It's weird...... Speaking of which, I woke up in the middle of the night last night, and then felt a little uncomfortable in the wound, and I wanted you to come in and change my medicine, but after shouting twice and there was no movement, I got up and changed it myself, but except for no response, there was really nothing else special. ”

Qingshuang frowned and said, "This matter is a bit weird, why don't we report it to the emperor and let him deal with it?" ”

Tang Xi was taken aback, this can't let Feng Lie know! So she hurriedly said, "There is no loss except that everyone sleeps a little deeper, so don't disturb the emperor, right?" Recently, it's a critical time, so it's better not to make things happen casually. ”

Qingshuang thought for a while, and said, "But you have just been injured at this time, and this is the time when the emperor feels most sorry for you, if you talk about this matter again, the emperor will not care about you even more?" Wouldn't it be better? ”

"You know what? Things are too much, this is just right, if I do it again, the emperor will start to think that I am deliberately making a show, understand? ”

Qingshuang thought about it and felt that what Tang Xi said was not unreasonable, so she finally didn't make a big deal about it, as for whether Feng Lie knew about it, Tang Xi didn't know, after all, this was Feng Lie's palace, who could say for sure if anyone was secretly observing?

At noon, Tang Xi was eating lunch, Feng Lie suddenly came over, Tang Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, "I've seen the emperor, but my body is not very convenient, so I won't salute the emperor." ”

Feng Lie glanced at Tang Xi, who was sitting on the chair and didn't mean to move for a moment, but he didn't reprimand, just sat opposite Tang Xi, and said lightly, "It's okay." After a pause, he said, "How do you feel today?" ”

Tang Xi put down the spoon of drinking porridge and replied, "As the emperor can see, with the support of the maid, I still have the energy to drink a bowl of porridge on the ground, but I still don't dare to move too much, for fear that the wound will collapse." ”

Feng Lie said "um", and then said, "I have sent Li Linglong out of the capital, and she will never appear in front of you again, you can rest assured." ”

Tang Xi nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Then the two of them fell silent, Tang Xi was ready to leave, so he really didn't care about dealing with Feng Lie any longer, and naturally there would be no more politeness when talking to him, the whole process was just a polite answer, and there was no meaning to talk deeply at all.

And Tang Xi's non-cooperation also made Feng Lie's face slightly gloomy, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so the two of them fell silent.

Tang Xi sat there for a long time, and he felt very tired, so he simply didn't care about Feng Lie, he just turned his head and said, "Bai Lu, help me back to bed, I can't sit still." ”

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Feng Lie, with a look of hesitation on her face, she didn't know what Tang Xi was doing, Feng Lie was obviously a little unhappy by her attitude at this time, but she didn't care so much, but asked her to help her back to bed? Tang Xi is a princess, but she is just a slave, I am afraid that as soon as she passes, she will anger Feng Lie and wipe her all at once.

Feng Lie noticed Bai Lu's gaze, so this time he didn't continue to be silent, looked up at Tang Xi, and asked softly, "Are you angry with me?" ”

Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, and said inexplicably, "No, why am I angry with you?" My injury has nothing to do with you. ”

Tang Xi said this sincerely, but in Feng Lie's eyes, he only felt that she was duplicitous, so he pursed his lips and said helplessly, "Just think it's bad for me, I should have sent her away earlier, and this incident wouldn't have happened, it's my fault." ”

"...... "What is this?" Tang Xi was a little crying and laughing, "Your Majesty, I'm really not angry with you, if I were angry, I wouldn't let Bai Lu go over to intercede yesterday." ”

"I know that you are thinking about me, and I am afraid that I will kill Li Linglong in a fit of anger and have a stiff relationship with Beiyang, I understand......" Feng Lie sighed, "But now that it has become like this, I can only give you more compensation, do you have what you want?" ”

...... "Can you listen to me?" Tang Xi really didn't expect that in just over a day, Feng Lie had already made up a love and hatred in his brain, and he couldn't listen to her explanation at all, he was really helpless!

But at this time, she didn't have the heart to explain anymore, because she really couldn't sit still, her lips were a little pale at this time, and she said weakly, "Bai Lu, help me back to bed......"

However, the next moment, Feng Lie had already gotten up and walked to her side, picked her up with a confused face, and then walked to her bed.

Bai Lu stood aside and saw this scene, and immediately withdrew with a smile on her face, and did not forget to help them close the door.

...... "Sister Bailu, what do you mean by closing the door?" Your master and I are still injured right now, what do you think we can do?

Tang Xi looked helpless, but she didn't say anything pretentiously, but after Feng Lie put her on the bed, she shrank back quietly, distanced herself from him, and then said indifferently, "Thank you to the emperor, but this kind of trivial matter will not trouble the emperor in the future, I am really a little tired today, the emperor should go back." ”

For an emperor, it is really rare to be able to do Feng Lie like this, of course, if it is Feng Xi, he can naturally do more, but now for him, the person in front of him is just a princess of another country with bad intentions, and they have only known each other for a few months, so it is really the limit to be able to pull down his face to do this kind of thing.

So at this time, Tang Xi didn't give him a good look, he was a little angry, and looked at her with a dark face for a long time, seeing that she didn't want to change her words to thank him in the slightest, let alone keep him, he suddenly turned around and left with a cold "hum", and the compensation he said to her before was naturally gone.

Seeing Feng Lie leave, Tang Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that he would be excited, so she said that in order to compensate you, I decided to make you a concubine or something...... It's really going to be a bad end.

Now that Huo Jinyan has returned, as long as she persists for a while, Huo Jinyan can make all preparations and take her away, so there must be no mistakes in the past few days.

Bai Lu outside was still secretly happy, but suddenly saw Feng Lie walking out angrily, and then strode out of Jingyang Palace without looking at her.

Bai Lu entered the house confused, "Princess, what's wrong with the emperor?" ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, "Probably menopause is early?" ”

Bai Lu was stunned, "What? ”

"Nothing, leave him alone."

"Oh......" Bai Lu replied with a little loss, and didn't speak anymore, alas, I thought I would have a result today, but it turned out to be like this all of a sudden?

Feng Lie, who left Jingyang Palace, walked for a while, and his anger disappeared a lot, only then did he feel that something was wrong, and after thinking about it for a while, he realized that Tang Xi deliberately interrupted his words and didn't let him open this mouth?

But why? Didn't she always want to marry him? He then thought about it again, it seemed that Tang Xi had always said that, but in fact, sometimes the way he did it was a little strange, saying that he wanted to get away with it...... But isn't that a bit too much?

He frowned and instructed the dark guard, "Go and check if there was anything unusual in Jingyang Palace yesterday." ”

The dark guard left, and he sighed lightly, "Li Sheng, go back to the palace." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't get a response, he couldn't help but glance back, Lin Quanzheng, the great eunuch who had just been brought up behind him, bowed his body and didn't dare to say a word, he just remembered that Li Sheng was already dead in that assassination.

He has been busy investigating and dealing with it for the past two days, and he didn't care about Li Sheng's death for a while, and it was only now that he felt a sense of loss for a moment.

Sad? I can't say, but in the end, Li Sheng has also been with his sister for ten years, and he has been with him for more than a year, so he will have some feelings, he died so suddenly, how can he not be completely indifferent, especially ...... Li Sheng's death will make him feel that the last thought between him and his sister seems to have been broken, and those memories with his sister are really starting to get farther and farther away from him...... Maybe in a few years, no one but himself will remember her.

He stood there for a long time, and he couldn't tell whether he was remembering Li Sheng or Feng Xi, and finally, he exhaled lightly and said lightly, "Let's go." ”

Outside the palace, Huo Jinyan was preparing to take Tang Xi away, if he was still the prime minister before, this matter would not be difficult for him at all, but now he has no power in Fengyuan, the minister who once followed him, since he resigned from the post of prime minister, he is destined to be no longer a person all the way, he can't and doesn't want to involve them, so the only thing that can be used is some of his own cronies who stayed in Fengyuan.

At the beginning, most of the people were taken to Nanyue by him, and only Ying Yi and a dozen people were left for Tang Xi to use, and now he didn't bring many people when he came back, that is to say, now in the capital, there are only about two dozen people who can be used, and Feng Lie's hands are all kinds of troops, compared to this, he is really not enough.

Although Tang Xi didn't say it, he can probably understand the current situation, the current Feng Lie is nothing more than just like him at the beginning, even if he didn't recognize Tang Xi as Feng Xi, he was still instinctively attracted to her, but while being attracted to her, he had to compete with himself, and easily refused to admit that he had her in his heart, so he didn't make a decree to make her a concubine.

So even if Feng Lie has no intention of marrying her for the time being, but the importance of her is undoubted, he believes that if he takes Tang Xi away, he may only take people out of the gate of the capital with the front foot, and Feng Lie's people on the back foot will catch up, and then they will not be enough to see at all.

Now if they want to take Tang Xi away, there must be someone who can help them drag Feng Lie's footsteps, as long as he catches up later, he is sure that he can take Tang Xi away, but such a person ...... But it's hard to find.

In addition, he also needs a little time, one is to let Tang Xi's injuries recover, otherwise she can't rush like this, and the other is that he needs his cronies from South Vietnam to come to pick him up, otherwise he always feels uneasy when he has so few people with Tang Xi.

So one of what he has to do now is to wait, and the other is to hide his whereabouts and make all arrangements.

Tang Xi also knew that with her injury, she was afraid that she would not be able to walk for a while, and it would take at least half a month to complete the battle, so she was not in a hurry, and she was in the palace every day to recuperate leisurely.

And Feng Lie was probably also angry, after that day, he didn't come to Jingyang Palace for five days to show his face, Bai Lu and Qingshuang sighed, and they probably began to have opinions about Tang Xi in their hearts, thinking that she was too ignorant of advance and retreat, and didn't know the truth of accepting it when she saw it.

In order to stabilize them, Tang Xi didn't talk a lot of nonsense, and finally coaxed the two of them, so that the two of them sincerely felt that Feng Lie would definitely see it by himself, and then find him again, after all, this is true love!

Tang Xi thought that his last time in Fengyuan should be spent so leisurely, until Bai Lu walked in with a frown and said to her, "Princess...... Lu Zheng asked to see him. ”

Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, "Lu ...... Zheng? ”

Bai Lu's face was a little solemn, "Yes, it's Lu Zheng, the son of Marquis An Yuan, I think he was afraid that the person who came would not be good, so he didn't dare to come to disturb you, I thought I would send him away, but he always refused to leave, and bluntly said that I have to see you today, and now I have been standing outside for three hours......"

"What did you say?" Tang Xi suddenly looked at her with a cold look in his eyes, "Who gave you the courage to dare to call the shots?" ”

Bai Lu was startled, probably because Tang Xi had become much calmer little by little during this time, so she forgot for a moment how terrible it was for Tang Xi to get angry, until she saw Tang Xi's fierce gaze at this time, she began to be afraid, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Princess forgive me!" Slaves...... The slave just didn't want to disturb the princess...... It's the slave who did something wrong, and I won't dare next time! Princess, just spare me this time! ”

Tang Xi's face is still very ugly, it is the height of summer, but she actually let people stand outside for three hours? Even if it's iron, it's going to fall!

Thinking about it, she couldn't care about reprimanding Bai Lu anymore, and struggled out of bed by herself, "You won't take me over?" ”

Bai Lu didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly walked over to help Tang Xi to the gate of Jingyang Palace.

Tang Xi has been cultivating for a few days, and the wound has scabbed, not like at the beginning, the wound will crack open if he is not careful, so it is still okay to walk a few steps, as long as he does not walk too fast and too far.

When Tang Xi walked to the door, he saw Lu Zheng standing at the door at a glance, he hadn't seen him for a long time, now he is very different from the past, in the past, he was a white and pure, standard gentleman, and now he has tanned a lot, his complexion has become bronze, the whole person has also lost weight, his face is a little more angular, and the whole person looks like he has more of the vicissitudes of time.

There was a familiar and unfamiliar figure in front of him, which made Tang Xi's footsteps pause, and he didn't dare to recognize it for a while.

Lu Zheng stood there and looked at Tang Xi, who was a few steps away from him, and he was also in a trance, the person in front of him was much worse than in his memory, the former Tang Xi could only be said to be beautiful-faced, smiling all day long, just like the naughty sister next door, there was no barrier between them, and even once made him have the idea of marrying her.

But today's Tang Xi, whose skin is like condensed fat, is still extremely gorgeous without powder, which is impossible to ignore, and the outstanding momentum on his body is even more like a royal person, just standing there gives people a sense of majesty.

He looked at her, looked at it, and his eyes gradually became clear, yes, the person standing in front of him was not the Tang Xi who had nothing to talk to him and made him want to marry home for a while, but the princess of Daqian, Yan Xi.

For him, they should be two people.

"I've seen Princess Xi."

In the end, what broke the silence was Lu Zheng's respectful greeting.

There was no expression on his face, and his gaze at her was even more without a trace of warmth, just like ...... It's like looking at a complete stranger.

Tang Xi opened his mouth, but he felt like a fish bone was stuck in his throat, and his throat hurt as soon as he moved, and he couldn't say half a sentence at all.

Bai Lu still felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and he estimated Tang Xi's body, so he said, "General Lu Xiao, my princess was injured a few days ago and is not well, so she can't stand for a long time, or ...... You come in and talk? ”

Oh, by the way, Lu Zheng went to the border to fight this time, and now he is back with a meritorious service, although the official rank is not too big, but he is also a fourth-grade general.

Lu Zheng nodded expressionlessly, "Yes." ”

The two sat in the living room, and then Tang Xi lowered his eyes and said, "Bai Lu, you all go out, I want to say a few words to General Lu Xiao alone." ”

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Lu Zheng, who was sitting there and made people feel full of evil, and hesitated a little in her heart, "But, ......" she wanted to speak and stopped, "Why don't you let me accompany you?" ”

She knew what role Tang Xi played in An Yuanhou's case, and now that An Yuanhou's son has found her, how dare she let the two of them stay alone? What if Lu Zheng suddenly goes crazy and kills Tang Xi?

However, Tang Xi shook his head, "No need, you guys go out." ”

Tang Xi said resolutely, Bai Lu was helpless, so she had to go out step by step, but she didn't dare to go far, just outside the door not far away, if Lu Zheng really went crazy, she would be better even if she went in to save people.

There were only two people left in the room, Tang Xi and Lu Zheng, and the atmosphere was dull for a while, and after a long time, Lu Zheng spoke, "I came, I just want to ask, what is in your father's way to let you kill you like this?" ”

Tang Xi pursed her lips, understanding that Lu Zheng knew that she had asked Feng Lie to investigate the matter in the first place, and Tang Xi had every reason to suspect that Feng Lie had deliberately told Lu Zheng, in order to avenge her disrespectful attitude a few days ago, and also to ...... Let her take the initiative to find him.

Yan Xi is Tang Xi, although no one has investigated this matter on the surface, everyone actually knows Tang Xi's identity, so Feng Lie naturally knows what kind of friendship she had with Lu Zheng at the beginning, so he deliberately told Lu Zheng the truth and made her fall into pain and guilt.

Tang Xi closed his eyes, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, "Lu Zheng, I'm sorry." ”

She owes him this sentence for too long, and now she can only make people feel ridiculous when she says it.

She used to think she had a lot of time, but now she realizes that time is the scariest thing, you never know what will happen in the next moment, and you never know, if you don't say it at the beginning, it will have no meaning when you say it again.

Sure enough, when Lu Zheng heard these three words, he laughed all of a sudden, not a happy laugh, but a contemptuous laugh, a mocking laugh, and the expression on his face was very cold, "Do you think I'm here to listen to this sentence today?" If you didn't say it at the beginning, why say it now? Don't you think it's ridiculous yourself? ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, "I know you hate me, and I have to admit that I did deal with Marquis An Yuan in order to achieve my own goals...... But you also have to admit that An Yuanhou was indeed wrong, he took advantage of the royal trust in him to bend the law for many years, and countless people died under his hands...... He should pay for their lives. ”

Lu Zheng sneered, stared at him tightly with a pair of cold eyes, and asked word by word, "Do you think you are the savior?" Do you want to punish evil and promote good? So why don't you punish yourself first? Or do you feel like you're absolutely kind yourself? ”
