Although I don't know if it's good news or bad news, after reading the letter, she felt a little better in her heart.

Tang Xi didn't know how long his days of house arrest would last, and he didn't know when Feng Lie would be able to figure it out, but after a big quarrel that day, Tang Xi also got a little benefit, that is, Feng Lie allowed her to go out of the palace at the twelfth of every month, but in the same way, there were many more people around her, and they didn't leave an inch, even if Tang Xi had the intention to escape, it was destined to be difficult to succeed.

But it is not easy for Tang Xi to have a little more freedom, and she doesn't dare to ask for too much, but fortunately, now that she has stumbled for more than a month, as long as she is patient for another two months, the rouge color should be able to get it.

But when she left the palace, she didn't dare to go to Chunhelou, with Feng Lie's suspicious temperament, if she found the return pavilion, in order to cut off her back road, she would have no place to cry.

So every month when she leaves the palace, she is really walking around, eating something here, listening to small songs there, enjoying the flowers and the moon and the sunrise, every time she has a very wonderful life, or in other words, as long as she is not in the palace, she is always a little happier than usual.

Feng Lie came to see her less and less, she felt that probably this cold war was diluting his feelings for her, and when he jumped out of the identity of family affection, he would naturally slowly find that as a woman who didn't love her, she was not welcome at all.

Counting the days, three months have almost passed, she stayed up from the end of summer to the beginning of winter, and now Feng Lie has not been here for about half a month, and after another month, he got the rouge color, and then talk to him, maybe he will let himself go.

Tang Xi really thought that Feng Lie had begun to give up on himself, until he ...... One day in the middle of the night, feeling thirsty, she sensed a gaze in the darkness, and was looking at her tenderly.

She didn't dare to move anymore when she just woke up, and in an instant, several thoughts crossed her mind, is it an assassin? Or is it Huo Jinyan? But the other party never moved, I don't know how long it took, the other party slowly approached her, her heart beat like a drum, nervous, until the other party walked to her bed, she smelled the familiar incense, and suddenly understood the identity of the other party, it was ...... Feng Lie.

He stood in front of her bed for a moment, his hands seemingly reaching for her cheeks, but then stopped in mid-air, and finally only helped her tuck the corners of the quilt before turning and quietly leaving the room.

It wasn't until the room became silent again that Tang Xi slowly opened her eyes, she lay there in a daze and looked at the top of the bed for a long time, Feng Lie ...... Do you come to see her every night? Without her knowing, while she was asleep?

Suddenly, she felt a sour and sour pain, Feng Lie, a stupid child, when will she really understand that it is impossible between them?

Tang Xi didn't say anything about this, just pretended not to know anything, and when Feng Lie came, he was still just doing his own thing quietly, just as if Feng Lie didn't exist.

I don't know when it started, the way they get along with each other has become so indifferent, and she even feels that as long as Feng Lie is there now, she won't show the slightest smile anymore...... Their sister-brother relationship finally slowly faded in this long-term house arrest and cold war, and treated Feng Lie, even if she felt guilty or distressed, she would not show half a point on her face.

Until the night of the New Year, Feng Lie had a Chinese New Year's Eve meal with her, she was still indifferent the whole time, and when she got up to leave after eating, Feng Lie suddenly called her, and her tone was indescribably lonely, "Sister is ...... Do you really hate me like that? I hate it, and I refuse to finish the last Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with me? ”

Tang Xi paused, and when he turned his head, his face was stunned, "You...... What did you say? For a moment, Tang Xi thought that Feng Lie knew about the poison in his body, and his heart suddenly panicked, with Feng Lie's paranoia, if he knew that he was poisoned, then the country of Daqian was afraid that it would be directly destroyed.

The reason why she refused to tell Feng Lie was because she was afraid that he would do something impulsively, she didn't want to be the trigger for provoking the war, and she didn't want to be the red face in people's mouths.

Feng Lie looked up at her, a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes, revealing endless sadness at this time, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "Isn't my sister leaving?" I will fulfill you. ”

Tang Xi's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face, and he grabbed Feng Lie's arm at once, "You mean it really?" ”

For a moment, Feng Lie seemed to be stung by the surprise in her eyes, and suddenly turned his gaze away, no longer looked at her, and said in a very soft voice, "Really, I just ask my sister to give me a month at the end, I ...... I'll let you go. ”

After Tang Xi's surprise, he looked at Feng Lie's sad and lonely appearance, and suddenly realized that his performance just now seemed to have hurt him, so he put away his smile a little wryly, but he was still a little uncertain in his heart, so he said cautiously, "Do you really want to let me go?" You won't lie to me, will you? ”

Feng Lie glanced at her, "You have no jokes. ”

Tang Xi suddenly made up his mind, "Okay, that word is a certainty." ”

Feng Lie didn't speak again, looking at the food in front of him, he no longer had half of his appetite, so he put down his chopsticks and prepared to go back, but when he walked to the door, his footsteps stopped again, and he didn't look back, just looked sideways slightly, "Actually...... You already knew about my coming at night, didn't you? ”

Tang Xi was slightly stunned, but did not answer, only pursed his lips and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

Feng Lie paused, and then left without looking back.

It was probably that night that he noticed that she woke up, but she still pretended that nothing had happened, and she was still indifferent to him, that he finally determined that Tang Xi's heart was something he couldn't hide.

The two reached an agreement, but Tang Xi didn't dare to be too nice to him, just afraid that he would be reluctant to give up on him, so he treated him like an ordinary person, not very flattering, but he no longer resisted.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, it is the day of leaving the palace once in January, and this time, Tang Xi will get the rouge color.

Now Qingshuang Bailu is also under house arrest in the palace in disguise, and it is difficult to get out of the palace, so he can only contact Daqian with carrier pigeons, so he can only inform Tang Xi that they have a shop in the capital, and let Tang Xi go to get rouge in person, after all, she is the only one who has such a chance to leave the palace now.

After agreeing with Feng Lie, there was no need to be afraid that she would run away, so finally, when she left the palace, she was no longer accompanied by a dense group of people, and this time there were ten guards around her, and her actions were much freer.

She found the shop according to Qingshuang Bailu's statement, it was a small shop selling rouge gouache, and the area was not prosperous, so it was not conspicuous.

The people in the store all knew Tang Xi, so as soon as they saw Tang Xi coming, they immediately walked towards her with a courteous face, "What does the girl want?" ”

Tang Xi turned around casually, and then said lightly, "Bring me the best rouge in your store and take a look." ”

The shopkeeper answered, and then took Tang Xi to see the latest rouge, enthusiastically introduced it to Tang Xi, and saw the gap, then handed Tang Xi a small bottle hidden in his sleeve, and whispered, "The master asked you to speed up the progress." ”

After getting the rouge, Tang Xi was a little excited, but naturally he couldn't say anything on his face, so he only said a faint "um", and then picked a few boxes of rouge casually, and then took people away.

In order not to show any abnormality, Tang Xi did not return to the palace immediately, but took people to listen to the story as usual.

However, Tang Xi never expected that this time she would actually meet an assassin.

As soon as Tang Xi left the bustling area, in an alley, dozens of black-clothed people suddenly fell from the sky, and the goal was very clear, and she only brought a dozen people this time! Even if they are all masters, they are a little too busy to take care of themselves under the siege of everyone.

Tang Xi was anxious to die, and finally waited until Feng Lie wanted to open it, and got the rouge color again, and he could go to South Vietnam after half a month, but as a result, she was going to die here?

But soon she found out that the other party wanted to arrest her instead of kill her! She suddenly made up her mind, although she didn't know who the other party was, as long as she didn't want to kill her on the spot, there was still hope!

Seeing that the guards were retreating, she gritted her teeth, took out the rouge-colored bottle directly from her pocket, and swallowed the pills inside!

I don't know who noticed her movements with sharp eyes, and suddenly shouted, "Not good! She's poisoned! ”

"......" Then Tang Xi was speechless and saw that those assassins suddenly became aggressive, and finally rushed over after being injured, and then slashed her with a palm, and hurriedly took her away.

The remaining half of the men in black entangled the remaining guards, so that they could only watch Tang Xi being taken away.

But in the end, this is the capital, and the people who support it soon arrived, and all the remaining black-clothed people were captured, but the other party was all dead, and if they didn't pay attention, they all took poison, so this last clue was also broken.

When Feng Lie heard the news of Tang Xi's abduction, her first reaction was that she didn't even want to spend the last half a month with him, but before she could get sad, the guards explained that Tang Xi and the other party should not know each other, because Tang Xi had been resisting violently.

Then Feng Lie's face suddenly turned white, "In this way, she is likely to be in danger?" Immediately, he couldn't sit still, Huo Ran got up and said, "No! I'm going to save her! ”

"Your Majesty! Their subordinates have searched the city for their whereabouts, so don't worry! ”

"Rest easy? How can you tell me to be at ease? You shit! If she has three longs and two shorts, you all go and bury her!" Feng Lie's emotions were very excited.

The chief of the guard who followed Tang Xi immediately knelt down in fright, "The emperor forgives the sin!" The subordinates will definitely recover the princess! ”

After speaking, he hesitated, a little afraid to speak, but he was afraid that if he didn't say it, the emperor would be even more angry when he found out, so he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Besides...... At that time, when the subordinates were fighting, Princess Xi suddenly didn't know what to take, and one of the assassins shouted badly, saying that it was ...... It was said that Princess Xi had taken poison, but I didn't see it clearly, and I didn't know what the situation was! ”

When Feng Lie heard this, his face became even more gloomy and terrifying, "Taking poison? Where did she get the poison? ”

The guard trembled in fright, "Subordinate...... My subordinates don't know! It stands to reason that it is impossible for Princess Xi to have the opportunity to come into contact with poison, not to mention that the other party did not mean to kill her at that time, and she has no reason to take poison! The subordinates felt that things were really strange. ”

Feng Lie narrowed his eyes, feeling that what he said made some sense, Tang Xi finally lived again, and he really gave up his life like this without a position, not to mention that he had already promised to let her go, she thought about Huo Jinyan in her heart, and it made no sense to give up like this.

So he said coldly, "Let people check, check the places she has been one by one, and see where the things she eats come from." ”

The guard immediately answered, did not dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly got up and left the room.

Feng Lie looked into the distance, with a faint melancholy in his eyes, sister, you must not be fine, I will save you, now...... I already have the power to protect you.

At this end, the whole city has been under martial law, and the city gate is also heavily handled, and the people who go out of the city are strictly investigated, and there are several squads that search the streets and alleys of the capital, including inns and residences, all of which have not been spared.

And Tang Xi's side, when she woke up, she felt that her eyes were blindfolded, her mouth was blocked, her hands and feet were tied, and people were also thrown on the ground.

Sensing the sound of two people talking not far from her, she didn't dare to move for a while, and listened to each other quietly.

A man's voice said with some anxiety, "What to do?" At this time, the whole city is under martial law, and according to their search method, I am afraid that it will not be long before we are searched. ”

Another man's voice said, "Yes, you can't get out, and if you stay like this, you'll be caught quickly...... I don't know what the master is going to do? ”

"Alas...... It is estimated that we will have to kill it in the end, and the master will take the men and horses outside the city to prepare to respond, let's fight for our lives, and probably people can also be taken out. ”

The other seemed to pat him on the shoulder, and his voice was a little helpless, "I want to open a little...... We are working for others, and sooner or later we will die, at least after we die, our family can still get a large sum of silver, and it is worth it. ”

After that, probably the two of them were not in a good mood, so they didn't speak anymore, Tang Xi couldn't hear any news anymore, so she struggled to sit up, after all, the ground was really too bright, and she felt that she couldn't stand it.

The two quickly noticed the movement here, heard her struggling, and immediately walked over, "Awake?" With that, he pulled the blindfold off her face.

The sudden light made her eyes feel slightly uncomfortable, and it took a while to get used to the situation in the room, it seemed that she had been thrown in the firewood room, and the two people should have been sitting at the wooden table not far away drinking tea.

She whimpered twice and motioned for them to remove the strip of cloth from her mouth as well.

The two glanced at each other, and one of them said, "It's been half a day, and I'm probably hungry, so get her something to eat?" ”

The other snorted coldly, glanced at her and said, "I don't know where she is good, she is worthy of such a liking from this Fengyuan emperor?" ”

The man scolded, "Okay, don't talk about it, go get something over quickly." ”

One person went to get something for her, while the other person was still looking at her, and seeing that she wanted to speak, he squatted down and removed the strip of cloth from her mouth for her, "What's wrong?" ”

Tang Xi glanced at the man, "Are you from Beiyang?" ”

When the man spoke just now, Tang Xi heard something from the man's words, he said "the emperor of Fengyuan", if they could talk like this, they should not be from Fengyuan, then it is likely to be from Nanyue or Beiyang.

If it is South Vietnam, then it can only be that they know about her relationship with Huo Jinyan, so they want to take her hostage; If it was Beiyang, either Li Feng and Li Linglong wanted to take revenge on themselves, or ...... also wanted to use her to threaten Feng Lie.

Thinking about what the man said, he only mentioned Feng Lie and didn't mention Huo Jinyan, so she was more inclined to the latter.

When the man heard her words, his eyes suddenly sank, and then he glared at her fiercely, "Be honest with me!" Who we are, you'll soon find out! ”

This person's performance is already obvious, it seems that she guessed correctly, but she doesn't know, is it the meaning of Li Feng or the meaning of Li Linglong?

But obviously, the person in front of her was already a little annoyed when she guessed her identity, and if she asked again, the other party would probably be annoyed and angry, which was not good for her.

So she turned around and said, "Can you get me up from the ground?" It's so cold on the ground that half of my body is numb from the freeze now. ”

The man frowned slightly, but seeing that Tang Xi's lips were indeed pale, and he was afraid that she would freeze her body again, and she would have to find a doctor for her when the time came, which would be more troublesome, so he didn't say anything, dragged her up, and then pulled her to the place where they were sitting just now for her to sit down, and poured her a cup of tea, "Let's take a sip of tea to warm up first." ”

Tang Xi nodded gratefully, "Thank you." ”

After speaking, he drank a cup of tea with his hand, a cup of hot tea in his stomach, and he did feel a lot more comfortable.

Seeing that the person hadn't come back just now, and this person seemed to be a little easier to talk to, she thought about it and said, "We should still be in the capital now, right?" You've arrested me, how are you going to leave? ”

The man frowned, and said angrily, "Don't worry about you, don't think about playing tricks, otherwise I don't mind slashing at you." ”

Tang Xi saw that he was so fierce, but he was not discouraged, and only continued, "Don't be so fierce, you see that there are just two of us here, how embarrassing is it to sit there?" Wouldn't it be nice to have a chat? Hey, tell me why your master is arresting me? Even if you want to arrest me, you should have a foolproof plan, right? Isn't this the same as sending you to death? ”

After speaking, she discussed again, "Otherwise, if you let me go, how about I promise not to hold you responsible?" When the time comes, you can also be promoted and make a fortune. ”

The man sneered, "You treat me as a three-year-old? Not to mention whether they can survive to be promoted and make a fortune, even if they can, but our family members are still in Beiyang, and they will definitely die at that time! ”

Tang Xi sighed, "It turns out that it's really Beiyang?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he had been tricked, and he said it casually, so he suddenly became angry and slammed the table with a "snap", "Damn! You shut up! After saying that, he picked up the strip of cloth just now, and prepared to gag her mouth.

Tang Xi was startled, and hurriedly reassured, "Don't don't, I still have to eat in a while!" You've been blocked for a while and have to take it down again, how troublesome? I promise not to talk nonsense again, how? ”

The man's anger did not subside, but he was a little hesitant after listening to her words, so he hesitated for a moment, and just now the man came back with food.

Tang Xi immediately seemed to see a savior, "Look at you, people are back!" ”

The man snorted coldly, and finally put down his eager hand, and the other person saw it and suddenly wondered, "What's the matter?" ”

was tricked, and the man felt that he had no face, so he only snorted coldly and said, "It's nothing, untie the rope for her to eat." ”

Although the man felt strange, he didn't ask any more, so he stepped forward to untie the rope in Tang Xi's hand, and didn't forget to threaten, "Don't think about running away, this courtyard is full of our people, you can't run out." ”

Tang Xi believed this, there were thirty or forty people that day, even if some died, there would be at least a dozen people left, right? Anyway, her three-legged cat's kung fu is not to think about running out by herself, and because Feng Lie is watching closely, she has no self-control fan on her. Medicine, what she can do now is to wait for Feng Lie to save her.

So she moved her wrist and ate honestly, she didn't think that when she smelled the aroma of the food, she suddenly felt hungry, so she ate it in a big gulp.

Maybe she felt bored sitting down, but the person who had just brought the food over took the initiative to chat with her, "What did you eat that day?" ”

"Huh?" Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party was asking about the rouge she swallowed on the day she was arrested, she was afraid that she was going to be arrested, and she was afraid that if she didn't eat it again, she would have no chance, so she swallowed it on the spot, but in the eyes of those who didn't know the truth, it did seem strange.

So she swallowed the food in her mouth and said with a smile, "It's the jelly beans I just bought, I'm afraid that if you catch me, I won't give me food, so I'll make some of it myself, but I didn't expect that I was wrong to blame you, you are still quite human." ”

...... "I don't read much, don't lie to me, you still want to eat jelly beans when you're in danger?"

Looking at the other party's constipated expression, Tang Xi snickered in his heart, and then saw that the person who had been tricked by her before was secretly looking over here, with a good look on his face, and suddenly thought that the other party probably deliberately did not remind the person not to talk to her casually, just to see him laugh.

Thinking of this, she immediately knew that that person would not stop her from talking, so she said to this person who had not been tricked by her with a malicious face, "I answered you a question, should you also answer me a question?" After speaking, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he said to himself, "I heard that your master has a habit of wearing women's clothes, is it really fake?" ”
