On the day of the sacrifice, the momentum was great, the national teacher stood on the high platform, step by step to carry out the ritual of sacrificing to the sky, this was the first time Tang Xi saw this national teacher, the age was younger than imagined, about the same age as Huo Jinyan is the same age, the face is handsome, and the white clothes are fluttering like a fairy.

Then Tang Xi and the emperor slowly walked up to the high platform, facing the many people kneeling below, the emperor announced Tang Xi's identity loudly, and then took her to sacrifice to the sky, thanking God for returning her safely.

After that, the national teacher performed a series of rituals that she didn't understand very well, and then suddenly frowned, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Princess Xi can't continue to stay in Daqian." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at the national teacher in confusion.

The emperor was also puzzled, "What does the national teacher mean by this?" ”

When the national teacher heard this, he looked at Tang Xi with sharp eyes, "Back to the emperor, Weichen observed the celestial phenomena and found that the princess still had a catastrophe in her life, if she didn't resolve it in time, I am afraid that not only would her life be in danger, but also the safety of the entire Daqian!" ”

The emperor's expression changed suddenly, and he glanced at Tang Xi with doubts, while Tang Xi looked innocent, looking like he didn't understand anything, the emperor thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then according to the opinion of the national teacher, how should this catastrophe be resolved?" ”

"The princess has a bad fate, she needs to marry a person with a very heavy life to be able to suppress it, the best candidate is naturally the son of a country, but she is a princess, so the minister thought about it for a while, and felt that the emperor of Fengyuan was the most suitable candidate, and if the princess married in the past, it could also promote the friendly relations between the two countries, which is a way to kill one stone."

"Your Majesty, no!" As soon as the national teacher's voice fell, an old minister immediately stood up to oppose it, "Your Majesty, my country's tradition is to never get along, this is a rule passed down from our ancestors, how can it be broken casually?" This is a great disrespect, Your Majesty! ”

The emperor's brows furrowed, and he seemed to be hesitant in his heart, "This ......"

The national teacher pursed his lips, "Your Majesty, the tradition of our country is never to be friendly, but this matter is not to sacrifice the happiness of the princess for the sake of the country, but for the sake of the princess, it can be said that we are using the emperor of Fengyuan more, so naturally it is not a harmony." ”

"You ......," the old minister's face turned red, "you are simply messing around!" ”

The national teacher's face suddenly turned cold, "Otherwise? If this is the case with God's instructions, do you want Your Majesty to disobey God's instructions and insist on leaving Princess Xi behind to bring disaster to me? ”

"Of course not!" When the old minister heard that such a big hat was buttoned down, he hurriedly retorted with a red face, "The old minister is just ...... I just hope that the emperor can follow the rules left by the ancestors, your majesty! ”

The emperor pondered for a long time, and finally waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't quarrel anymore, this matter is very important, let's discuss it later, it's better to sacrifice to the sky first." ”

When everyone heard this, even if they had more opinions in their hearts, they didn't dare to say more.

The emperor's move today is just a foreshadowing for the future, and such a big thing can't be decided today, so Tang Xi is not in a hurry at all, what's more, if you want to get married, you should always ask the other party's opinion, if Feng Lie refuses to marry, it will be in vain...... Of course, unless Feng Lie is crazy, he will never slap Da Qian's face like this, but in the end, the scene still has to go.

After that, Tang Xi didn't have to worry about it anymore, just wait quietly for the result.

However, when she had nothing to do and asked the palace people about Shangguan Yu, she learned from them that after the sacrifice a few days ago, Shangguan Yu had already left Daqian again, and others naturally didn't know where she went, and she didn't explain to Tang Xi at all.

But in fact, needless to say, she also guessed that she had said so much to Guan Yu that day, and now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, she must be the first to go to Fengyuan, but I don't know if Cheng Nan has joined her.

However, with her current position, it is not good to ask too much, otherwise it will arouse the emperor's suspicion, and she will act in vain before.

A few days later, the emperor's holy decree came down, but the strange thing is that this holy decree did not specify that she should go to Fengyuan to make peace with Feng Lie, but said very euphemistically that Princess Xi will go to Fengyuan with the envoys who went to Fengyuan to congratulate Feng Lie on his birthday in January, the purpose...... is to pick a wishful man.

Tang Xi was a little puzzled by this, so he personally went to ask the emperor, and as soon as he mentioned this matter, the emperor frowned slightly and said, "This matter is the opinion of Emperor Fengyuan." ”

"What?" Tang Xi was surprised.

The emperor was obviously very dissatisfied with this, but he still explained it clearly to Tang Xi, "I sent someone to ask for Feng Lie's opinion, I thought he would agree directly, but I didn't want the other party's reply but said euphemistically, Princess Xi is very welcome to go to Fengyuan to choose a Ruyi Langjun...... That Feng Lie is afraid that he is not very satisfied with the fact that you married him. ”

When Tang Xi heard this, his heart was simply happy, and for the first time, he felt that Feng Lie was so reliable! However, she is still playing a woman who wants to be on the throne at this time, so although she is very happy in her heart, she has a bitter and resentful look on her face, "Although my Daqian is a vassal country of Fengyuan, it is a big country, how dare he treat the emperor so lightly?" ”

The emperor was obviously more dissatisfied than her, but he was calm, and after listening to her, he only waved his hand lightly and said, "Okay, the matter has come to this, what's the use of just complaining?" It's better to think about the solution. ”

"What does the emperor mean...... Is there room for maneuver? ”

"Naturally, since the emperor asked you to choose a wishful man, it at least gave you room to choose, and as long as you have the ability to make the emperor fall in love with you, then this matter will naturally be."

Hearing this, Tang Xi's face suddenly became a little happy, "The emperor has a point!" After finishing speaking, he couldn't help frowning, raised his hand to touch his cheek, and said with a somewhat shy face, "But...... I know that my appearance is mediocre, can I really make Feng Lie fall in love with me? ”

The emperor smiled and comforted, "It's a good thing to have self-knowledge, but don't be too inferior, although you are not a person with outstanding appearance, you can look at it for a long time, not to mention that according to my understanding, Feng Lie is not a person who only looks at it...... So, as long as you can do what you like, it won't be too difficult. ”

After a pause, he added, "Moreover, I have already arranged a horse pawn for you, and when you go to Fengyuan, she will also help you." ”

Tang Xi frowned and said, "Horse pawn? Who is it? Is it credible? ”

"It's natural and credible, you can rest assured, when you go, she will take the initiative to contact you."

Tang Xi knew that the emperor didn't want to say more, so he didn't continue to get to the bottom of it, so he nodded and asked, "What about ......now?" Now that the matter has been decided, the emperor should let me know what I am going to do, right? ”

The emperor smiled when he heard this, "Don't worry, it is not contrary to your purpose." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the people around him, and then all the people withdrew, and only when there were only two people left in the room did he speak, "You should know that my Daqian has been a vassal of Fengyuan for many years, and although it is very peaceful under Fengyuan's protection, I Daqian also has to pay tribute to Fengyuan every year...... In this way, you will always be inferior. ”

Hearing this, Tang Xi understood, she really didn't guess wrong, this emperor of the big dry had the ambition to put his hand into Fengyuan to do things.

"But now that my country is prosperous and the people are safe, why should I be inferior?" Saying that, he smiled slightly contemptuously, "Since the death of Feng An's old fox, the Feng Yuan Dynasty has been tossed for a while in the hands of the lascivious empress, and then Feng Lie succeeded to the throne, although everything is stable, but in the end it is not as good as before, the strong are respected between the dynasties, so, why can't I replace Feng Yuan?" ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, his eyes showing a little confusion, "But...... What does this have to do with my marriage to Feng Lie? ”

The emperor smiled, "Silly boy, as the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, if I face Feng Yuan head-on, it will definitely suffer heavy losses, for the sake of my people, then I must find another way, find some simple way, and this method ...... It's you. ”

Tang Xi's eyes showed a little uneasiness, "But...... I'm just a little woman, can I really do such a big thing? ”

The emperor was very satisfied with the uneasiness she showed at this time, if she could still not move like a mountain when she heard such a big secret, she would really be jealous of him, ambitious, but her courage was very limited, and such a person would be easy to be used.

I was satisfied, so my tone was much softer, "Don't worry, what you have to do won't make you too embarrassed, I just hope that you can marry Feng Lie and then gain his trust to sit on the throne of the queen, and then you have to work hard to give birth to an heir for him, and you must ensure that you are the only heir......"

Tang Xi's brows jumped, and his voice trembled faintly, "...... And then what? ”

The emperor narrowed his eyes, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he sneered, "And then? Then naturally get rid of Feng Lie and ensure that your young son ascends the throne, then you will be the queen mother of Feng Yuan, and the young son is ignorant, and you will become the person who really controls the government! ”

Tang Xi's expression was even more frightened when he heard this, but he faintly had a trace of yearning for the situation described by the emperor, and gradually, that trace of yearning grew stronger, and then gradually swallowed up the panic, replaced by excitement on his face, "Your Majesty...... Is it really possible? ”

The emperor saw the changes in her eyes, sneered in his heart, and then said softly, "Naturally, it's okay, as long as you have the means to deceive Feng Lie, everything about Feng Yuan will be yours!" ”

After Tang Xi was excited, his eyes flashed again, "That'...... What can the emperor get? ”

The emperor smiled lightly, "After controlling Feng Yuan's country, you just need to be a queen mother who is greedy for pleasure and corrupts the superordinate, and then I will infiltrate Feng Yuan little by little, and when Feng Yuan has internal strife under your profligacy, we can sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Tang Xi frowned and thought about it, but he looked a little hesitant.

The emperor looked at it in his eyes and smiled coldly, "I advise you not to think about something else, otherwise I am afraid that you will have the life to plot but not the life to enjoy!" ”

Tang Xi's face changed slightly, and he said vigilantly, "...... What does the emperor mean by this? ”

The emperor got up, picked up a brocade box on the table and walked towards her, "We are all smart people, and smart people naturally know how to do things, do you think I will leave you with such an important matter?" ”

As he spoke, he handed the brocade box to her, "Eat it, and you can do whatever you want." ”

Tang Xi's gaze fell on the brocade box, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, but obviously she couldn't resist the temptation described by the emperor just now, her eyes were full of struggle, after a while, she gritted her teeth and picked up the pill in the brocade box, and then paused, pursed her lips and looked at the emperor, "This medicine...... What are the benefits? ”

The emperor smiled, "This medicine is called rouge, long-term use can make your skin gradually better, exquisite, and the body will also emit a strange fragrance, and men will definitely fall for you." ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, with some expectation and fear in his eyes, and said cautiously, "...... What else? "And ...... Oh, this kind of miracle medicine has such benefits, naturally there are also disadvantages, and its biggest disadvantage is that you can't stop after taking it, you have to take it once a year, if it's late...... will festered all over the body and die. After saying that, he smiled again, and then patted her on the shoulder, as if to comfort her, "Of course, you can rest assured, I have already ordered someone to make you a rouge color that is enough for you to take for the rest of your life, as long as you successfully complete the task, I will never let you die, after all...... You're my daughter, too. ”

...... "Who would be so cruel to their daughter?" This situation reminds Tang Xi of his father, he will treat himself like that or because he is just an adopted daughter, so it is insignificant, but now Tang Xi is really the daughter in front of him, but people still have no softness when they pit their own daughters, are all emperors so ruthless?

She thought that the emperor would use some means to control herself, but she didn't expect that he would be so ruthless as soon as he shot his own daughter, she had never heard of such a miracle medicine, but it was conceivable that she would not be able to find an antidote except here.

But at this point, she knew that she could no longer tolerate her refusal, and if she didn't agree, she wouldn't be able to leave this hall today.

After a long while, she closed her eyes, swallowed the pill as soon as she tilted her head, and finally she knelt down in front of him, "Tang Xi...... It will not be dishonored. ”

When she walked out of the main hall, she felt a little desolate in her heart, she didn't expect to live a new life, tossed it around, and finally stepped on the road of the previous life again, these people, even the means to control her are the same, can't you think of any other way except poisoning? Can she only be someone else's pawn? Could it be that she was reborn in order to relive the suffering of her previous life?

A wry smile appeared on her face, and she wanted to ask the heavens, is it not enough to torture her for one life, but for another life?

Moreover, this time, her situation is much worse than in the previous life, first of all, she can't marry Feng Lie, and secondly, she can't be unfavorable to Feng Lie...... In this way, she may only have one year left to live from today.

In such a situation, she still did not regret the choice she made, even if she guessed that it would end like this, she probably ...... There's still no way to leave Shangguan Yu alone, right?

Just thinking of Huo Jinyan, her heart suddenly ached again, she thought that this time she could stand in front of Huo Jinyan generously and admit her identity, but now she only has one year left to live...... How could she bear to let him suffer another death? That's it, she and Huo Jinyan are afraid that they are destined to have no fate.

Feng Yuan.

Huo Jinyan looked at the shapeless monk sleeping on the ground in front of him, his brows frowned slightly, and he suddenly felt that he had probably made a mistake this trip, how could such a monk with no behavior be a monk with great wisdom? I think it's just a rumor.

Thinking about it, he didn't say anything, turned around and wanted to leave.

However, the monk who was sleeping on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, yawned and asked lazily, "Is the donor leaving?" Don't you want to ask about what you want to ask? ”

Huo Jinyan's footsteps paused slightly, and then he looked back at the monk who was still lying on the ground and looking at him with a smile, "Do you know what I want to do?" ”

"Guessed, after all...... There is something special about the donor. ”

Huo Jinyan still had some hesitation in his expression, but he still asked, "What's so special?" ”

The monk glanced at him incomprehensibly, then got up from the ground, patted the ashes on his body, and said casually, "What's special is that your obsession is particularly heavy." ”

"Obsession?"

"That's right, so if the little monk doesn't guess, what you want to ask is probably what you are obsessed with?"

Huo Jinyan lowered his eyes slightly, nodded after a while, and said, "Master Quit Anger guessed well, I came to ask for advice...... Is there any way in this world to make one person's appearance completely different from another? ”

Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, then touched his chin and said, "Naturally, there are two ways that the little monk knows, there are many strange people and strange things in this world, and the little monk has seen a person who can move a knife in the face, and then change the person's face; There is a strange wood in the world, called rue wood, which can be burned to wake up in another corpse that has just died, I don't know what the donor asked, which is which? ”

Huo Jinyan's eyes flashed with a different color, he has never believed in gods and Buddhas, but he doesn't want to have such a bizarre thing in this world? Thinking of the birthmark on Tang Xi's body, if it was the first one, I am afraid that it would not be so detailed, not to mention, if Feng Xi wanted to leave the palace through this, he would definitely not choose a maid in his own house, so ...... It should be the second one.

He pursed his lips, "The second way...... When she is reborn, will she have all the memories of her past lives? ”

"Nature."

Huo Jinyan closed his eyes, so, Feng Xi, how can you bear to watch me suffer alone but refuse to reveal half a point to me?

"Thank you, Master for telling me the truth, in the next ...... Leave. ”

He didn't stop him, but after he left, he touched his chin thoughtfully and said to himself, "Tsk, the obsession is too heavy, and it's easy to fall into the magic barrier." ”

After Huo Jinyan returned to Beijing, he immediately went to ask Feng Lie for his life, although Feng Lie was surprised by Huo Jinyan's move, but he was not in the capital, he could take the opportunity to collect power, so he also happily agreed.

It was only half a month after Huo Jinyan followed the envoy team on the road that Ying Er brought back a piece of news.

"Master, I'm afraid I don't have to leave this time, my subordinates just learned that after Miss Tang was recognized by Emperor Daqian, she was named Princess Xi, and then she was sent to Fengyuan and her relatives by Emperor Daqian."

Huo Jinyan's eyes suddenly sank, "Harmony? With whom to pro? ”

Ying Er was taken aback by Huo Jinyan's low pressure, and hurriedly explained, "Don't be angry, master, who the target is has not yet been decided, originally Emperor Daqian meant to send it to the palace, but the emperor did not allow it, and politely said that after Miss Tang came to Fengyuan, she would choose a wishful husband." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ying Er suddenly felt that his body was light, and the low pressure from Huo Jinyan disappeared without a trace, so he continued to say, "So don't worry, master, with the friendship between Miss Tang and the master, Miss Tang will definitely choose you, the master!" ”

Huo Jinyan's eyes gradually softened, and she suddenly remembered Tang Xi's kiss when he was asleep, she also had him in her heart, right?

But soon Huo Jinyan woke up from his memories, and then twisted his eyebrows and said, "No, Daqian has always had a tradition and never gets along, how can it suddenly change now?" ”

Hearing this, Kageji's heart jumped, and then he had to frown and reply, "It is said that ...... It was because the Great Qianguo Master received a signal from God when he sacrificed, and bluntly said that Miss Tang had a bad fate in her life, and she needed a person with a very heavy personality to suppress it, otherwise it would cause disaster to the Great Qian, and the person with the heaviest life in the world was none other than the Son of Heaven, so ...... That's why the emperor of Daqian wanted to send people over. ”

Sure enough, after Ying Er finished speaking, Huo Jinyan's face immediately changed again, and Ying Er hurriedly comforted him when he saw this, "Don't worry, master, these people are chattering, what they say is not credible, and Miss Tang will not go to her heart if you want to come, just look at Miss Tang's trick of cheating to death and escaping marriage, it can be seen that Miss Tang is not a person who is at the mercy of others, so she will definitely not care about this, she will still choose the master!" ”

But after Ying Er finished speaking, Huo Jinyan's face was still clouded, because Huo Jinyan knew that this matter would definitely not be so simple, he had seen the emperor of Daqian, that was a rather ambitious person, when Feng Xi first ascended the throne, he was a little impatient, if he hadn't found a way to scare him and dispel his idea of rebellion at that time, I am afraid that the two countries would have been inseparable at this time, such a person, marrying his daughter to Fengyuan, the purpose is definitely not simple!

In this way, Tang Xi may have been threatened by some pigtails he caught, but Tang Xi has always regarded Feng Lie as his younger brother, how could he agree to marry Feng Lie? In this way, I'm afraid Tang Xi's situation is not very good.

Thinking of this, his face turned grim, and he said coldly, "Shadow Er, inform everyone in the team and speed up." ”

He had to hurry to her side, for she must have needed him so badly at this time.

At this time, Tang Xi was still actively preparing to go to Fengyuan in the palace of Daqian, since it was to choose a son-in-law, the dowry must be brought well, so he watched this and that every day, and he was busy with the group, and he could rest for a while at night.

Now there is less than half a month before departure, her heart has calmed down, things are already like this, there is no need to feel sorry for herself, even if there is only one year left, she should hurry up and live a wonderful life, otherwise it will really be in vain.

It's just that when she looked in the mirror in the past few days, she found that her skin was a little different, not to mention that she was getting fairer and fairer, not to mention, even the scars left after the wrist burns in order to cover up before began to fade gradually, seeing this, she couldn't help but sigh that this medicine is really a miracle, as a poison, even the benefits are so magical, thinking that the emperor said that the whole body will festered and die, it must not be exaggerated.

So Tang Xi couldn't help but think, she couldn't die so ugly, so I'm afraid she would have to kill herself again at that time.
