Neither of them noticed that Tang Xi, who was standing on the side, lowered his head, his face was faintly pale, and he bit his lip tightly and didn't dare to make a movement, as if he was enduring something.

At this time, the room was very quiet, and Lu Zheng held back for a long time before he asked sullenly, "Then third brother, do you still want to check?" ”

Huo Jinyan was silent for a moment, and finally spit out a word, "Check." ”

Lu Zheng sighed lowly, he didn't know what he should think at this time, his mind was too messy at this time, so he turned to something else, trying to divert his attention, "By the way, I heard my father say that the emperor asked you to start the case of Yu Shi Zuo Zongsheng forming a party and killing his colleagues for personal gain yesterday." ”

"Hmm." Huo Jinyan responded, and then took a fold on his right, "Actually, the investigation is almost complete, and the case should be closed soon." ”

Lu Zheng was a little surprised when he heard this, "So fast? ”

Huo Jinyan pursed his lips and explained, "Before I went to the border gate, I had already secretly started an investigation. ”

Lu Zheng was slightly stunned, and the ghost envoy asked, "...... Ordered by the first emperor? ”

Huo Jinyan glanced at him and did not answer.

However, this glance was enough for Lu Zheng to know the answer, and he didn't dare to ask anything more at this time, for fear of asking something that would be unbearable for him.

So he suddenly got up, "Third brother, I'll go back first today." ”

"Well, Tang Xi, send the little marquis." Huo Jinyan didn't keep him, and directly asked Tang Xi to send him away.

Tang Xi lowered his head, replied sneeringly, and then walked out behind Lu Zheng.

The two walked silently for a while, Lu Zheng suddenly stopped, he looked at Tang Xi with a complicated expression, "Hey, you say...... It can't really be what I thought it would be, would it? ”

Tang Xi raised his head with a blank expression, "What?" What do you think, little marquis? ”

Looking at Tang Xi's stupid face, Lu Zheng couldn't help but be speechless, feeling that his brain must have entered the water, so he would ask Tang Xi such a question, but just now there were just the three of them in the room, Huo Jinyan made it clear that he wouldn't say anything more, he was panicked in his heart, and he could only ask Tang Xi.

Lu Zheng didn't want to say anything more, after all, he also felt that it was not very reliable to ask Tang Xi about this kind of thing, but after holding it for a while, he still couldn't hold back, he looked sideways at Tang Xi, "You said, if a person you have always thought was bad and stupid, and suddenly one day you find out that she is actually not so bad and not so stupid, these are all misunderstandings of the world, but she has never explained, why would this be?" ”

Tang Xi lowered her head, Lu Zheng couldn't see her expression clearly, she was silent for a moment before she answered, her voice was unexpectedly tinged with a hint of depression, "Either she doesn't care, or it's to protect herself, or it's ......" She paused slightly, took a breath before continuing, "Or, it's to protect the people she cares about." ”

I didn't think that Tang Xi would give any useful answers, but after listening to her, Lu Zheng fell silent, didn't he care? It's impossible not to care, she is the king of a country, what emperor doesn't love his reputation?

Is that to protect yourself and the people you care about? Lu Zheng stroked his forehead with a little headache, he had already listened to Huo Jinyan, don't think about it so much, this matter, the more he thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes, the truth may be heavier than he imagined.

After that, the two walked silently all the way to the gate, and Tang Xi saluted in a proper manner, "Little Hou Ye go slowly." ”

Lu Zheng replied absentmindedly, obviously still thinking about what had just happened, Tang Xi didn't care, and watched him go out of the gate, then let out a long breath, and then walked towards his residence.

She was really tired at this moment, not only did her butt hurt, but her heart was also slightly aching.

She lay on the bed, her eyes looked at the ground a little blankly, Huo Jinyan, why do you want to find out the truth? Some things may be better buried in the past.

Tang Xi felt that after today's incident, Lu Zheng should not come to the Prime Minister's Mansion again in a short time, and she could breathe a sigh of relief, no longer being forced to listen to those words that would kill her, and it was really a bit torturous to follow Huo Jinyan.

And what surprised her a little was that in the evening, Yan Qing, the housekeeper next to Huo Jinyan, came over in person to deliver medicine to herself, "This is what the prime minister asked me to bring over, the girl is very blessed, and the girl is very unusual." ”

When Tang Xi heard this, he immediately took the ointment with a look of surprise, and then said with a wistful expression, "Oh, you said that the prime minister shouldn't like me, right?" ”

Yan Qing suddenly twitched the corner of her mouth and didn't speak, she was just polite, why did she fantasize? He shook his head slightly in his heart, it seemed that he was thinking too much, how could such a woman be a prime minister?

However, his silence did not dispel Tang Xi's passion, and he continued beautifully over there, "When do you say the prime minister will marry me?" Hmm, what's our child's name? ”

"......" Yan Qing was really speechless, what is this? He felt that Tang Xi's brain was sick, and he suddenly didn't want to stay longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
