35. I owe him after all
Tang Xi carefully walked around the black coffin, and kept muttering, "Don't blame it, I didn't bother it, if you have a spirit, don't come to me, I'll leave as soon as I finish reading!" ”
When she walked to the place where the tablet was placed, she carefully lit the white candle on the side, and then hurriedly read the words on the tablet by the candlelight.
At this glance, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes were full of disbelief, and she saw that only a few big words were written on the black tablet: Fengxi's position.
That was her tablet, and Huo Jinyan secretly offered it in this mansion, and it turned out to be her.
When she came back to her senses, she took a few steps back, her heart was in a mess, she only felt as if she had seen something extraordinary, and there seemed to be a veil in her heart that was about to be pierced.
Because she retreated too quickly, she accidentally knocked on the coffin behind her, hitting her waist, and her face turned pale in pain, but then she felt that something was wrong, since the person enshrined here was her, then what was in this coffin should not be her own charred bones, right?
Her heart was pounding, and she didn't know what kind of psychology it was, she suddenly wanted to open the lid of the coffin and take a look.
It just so happened that the coffin was not sealed, but only covered with a coffin lid.
She swallowed a little nervously, and the ghost almost reached out to push the lid of the coffin.
"Smack!"
At the moment when he was about to push open the lid of the coffin, Tang Xi's hand was suddenly held.
The hand holding her wrist was slender and beautiful, but it was very cold, holding it on her wrist, the cold piercing her wrist hurt, she looked at the white and slender hand in a daze, the hairs on her body stood up again, and she screamed regardless of it.
"Ahh There are ghosts! She screamed, her whole body a little weak, but she didn't know where she got the strength to struggle, and closed her eyes to slap the "thing" standing next to her.
Shadow One and Shadow Two, who were outside, were shocked by this scream, and then they couldn't help but look at each other, Shadow Er twitched the corners of his mouth, "Are you sure she sneaked over to investigate?" ”
Ying Yi covered his face, "If someone sends such a person to be a spy, it must be a brain pump." ”
In the underground secret room, Huo Jinyan frowned and dodged Tang Xi's attack, and said coldly, "Have you made enough trouble?" ”
Tang Xi's brain was messed up at this time, and she was even more afraid to death, she didn't expect to really meet a ghost for her, and she really couldn't think of any other way to vent the fear in her heart than screaming at this time.
However, screaming, he suddenly heard a cold man's voice beside him, Huo Jinyan? She opened her eyes immediately, and after seeing that the person in front of her was indeed Huo Jinyan, she suddenly cried out with a "wow", and at the same time, the whole person hugged Huo Jinyan's body like an octopus, "Woo woo...... Huo Jinyan, it's terrible! There are ghosts here, woo woo woo woo ......."
Huo Jinyan, who was caught off guard, was hugged with a full embrace, and the fragrant fragrance on the woman's body came, coupled with her words, which instantly calmed down Huo Jinyan, who was angry in his heart, because he thought of Feng Xi again.
At that time, he had only been the prime minister for a short time, and Feng Xi was already sixteen years old, so some people began to stuff people into Feng Xi's harem, and all kinds of men were stuffed into Feng Xi's harem.
One of them actually thought of a way to pretend to be a ghost in the palace to scare Feng Xi in order to let Feng Xi go to his palace, and then he came forward and said that he had learned some methods of exorcism when he was a child, so that Feng Xi, who was frightened, would naturally do what he wanted.
That person's idea was good, but unfortunately he was intercepted by Huo Jinyan halfway.
In the middle of the night that night, there happened to be a rebellion of the vassal king, and Huo Jinyan immediately entered the palace to meet the emperor when he got the news.
However, standing outside the emperor's bedroom, the door opened not long after someone went in to report, and the moment the door opened, Huo Jinyan was pounced, the empress who was extremely majestic in the past, but now she is as weak as an ordinary little girl.
She only hurriedly put on a coat, which looked a little messy, the whole person shrunk in his arms and cried, crying in his heart, he was a little helpless for a while, he exhaled a long breath to suppress the irritable anger in his heart that almost wanted to kill, and then raised his hand and patted her back a little awkwardly, his voice was a little stiff but revealed a strange gentleness, "It's okay, it's okay......"
After a long time, he felt that Feng Xi's mood gradually stabilized, and he dared to ask cautiously, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”
She lifted her little head buried in his arms, the corners of her eyes were still filled with tears, and her eyes were full of uneasiness and panic, she sniffed, and said angrily, "Huo Jinyan, there is a ghost ......"
Huo Jinyan's cold gaze immediately looked at Gonggong Li, who was serving in front of the palace, Gonggong Li was shocked by the gaze, and immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty forgives me, the old slave will let people investigate, but I want to see who is so bold that he dares to pretend to be a ghost!" ”
Huo Jinyan snorted coldly and didn't speak, and Gonggong Li immediately got up and asked people to check.
He looked down at her with a gentle look in his eyes, then raised his hand and touched her head, and said comfortingly, "There are no ghosts in this world at all, Your Majesty don't be afraid." ”
Feng Xi shook his head violently, and tears fell from his eyes, "No, no, no, there are really ghosts, it's them, it's them who came to me for revenge, it's me who killed too many people, so they came to take revenge!" ”
Huo Jinyan's heart was pierced by the tears, and then he glanced around vigilantly, then took her with one hand and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's cold at night, let's go in and talk." ”
He wanted her to look like this, this fragile like an ordinary little girl, probably because he didn't want to be seen by others.
Huo Jinyan poured a cup of hot tea for Feng Xi, and Feng Xi's mood gradually eased after drinking it, and then he probably came back to his senses and remembered what he had just done, and couldn't help coughing lightly, and said in a majestic voice with a tiger face, "The prime minister shouldn't have seen anything special just now, right?" ”
Huo Jinyan didn't speak, only glanced at her crying face and messy clothes lightly, at this time she still had to maintain some majesty in front of him.
Feng Xi was swept away by his gaze, and couldn't help but look down, only to find that his messy clothes suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly sorted them out, Huo Jinyan didn't shy away from it, just sat there and watched with burning eyes.
After tidying up his clothes, Feng Xi felt that he was already embarrassed and wanted to get into the cracks in the ground, and he didn't dare to look up at him at all.
Fortunately, Huo Jinyan finally looked away, his voice was as cold as before, and he couldn't hear any tenderness, "Your Majesty should thoroughly investigate the harem." ”
Feng Xi hummed a little uncomfortably, in fact, she was scared just now, so her brain was not very good, but when she calmed down and thought about it, she also felt that someone was deliberately messing up, so she was not so afraid.
So she then changed the topic and said, "Is there anything important for the prime minister to enter the palace to find me so late?" ”
So Huo Jinyan told Feng Xi about the vassal king's army, Feng Xi immediately became serious, and explained what he should do next to Huo Jinyan one by one, and Huo Jinyan, who had not expected it, immediately reminded him.
At this time, Huo Jinyan and Feng Xi no longer have the ambiguous atmosphere of a man and a woman together, one of them is the prime minister, the other is the empress, and all they should have is the humility of the courtiers and the majesty of the emperor.
Since this is what Feng Xi wants, Huo Jinyan gave it.
After talking about this matter, the sky was already white, Feng Xi didn't sleep all night after crying, Huo Jinyan's eyes flashed with a hint of pity, and before leaving, he thought about it again and again and said, "If Your Majesty is scared again, you can summon Weichen at any time." ”
After Feng Xi blocked the news of what happened that day, and found out the culprit and executed him, since then the empress's fear of ghosts has become a secret between the two.
At this moment, Tang Xi's frightened look immediately evoked Huo Jinyan's memories, that was the only time Feng Xi took off his mask in front of him in his memory, and the only time he was so close to her, but unfortunately it was only for a short moment.
The fragrance of women is still the taste of memory, but people are different.
Huo Jinyan looked expressionless and pulled down the miserable person who was crying on top of him, and then took a step back to keep a distance from her.
After the frightened Tang Xi finally started to spin again, especially after glancing at Huo Jinyan's hand, he immediately understood that the person who had just held his wrist was Huo Jinyan and not some ghost.
This is embarrassing, not to mention that I was caught doing bad things, I was still so scared to cry...... Tang Xi couldn't help but cover his face, what did he do just now? She glanced at the position of the front of Huo Jinyan's clothes, which was reflected by the candle flame at this time, and she could vaguely see some shiny things, she subconsciously raised her hand and wiped it...... Forehead, tears and snot on the hand.
Huo Jinyan naturally noticed her small movements, and his face suddenly darkened, and he couldn't wait to take off his clothes immediately and throw them on the ground and step on his feet, but it didn't seem appropriate to do this kind of thing at this time, so he endured the anger in his heart and whispered, "Come out with me." ”
Tang Xi drooped her head and followed Huo Jinyan out pitifully, and when she walked to the door, she couldn't help but look back at the coffin, she thought with some regret, she still couldn't open it to take a look.
Maybe it's because she knows that she is enshrined here, or maybe it's because Huo Jinyan is walking in front of her at this time, in short, this road that almost scared her to death before doesn't feel how terrible it is.
It's really a coincidence to say, it seems that every time he encounters a ghost, Huo Jinyan happens to appear by his side, Tang Xi felt for a moment that it would be good if he could always follow Huo Jinyan in the future, at least he would never be afraid of ghosts again, right? But this idea was fleeting, in her previous life, she was bound by the palace for a lifetime, and in this life she just wanted to have a free life.
followed Huo Jinyan all the way to his bedroom, the first thing Huo Jinyan did as soon as he entered the room was to take off his clothes and change them, and then he walked out of the inner room, sat in front of the table and looked at Tang Xi for a long time, "Say, what are you going to do?" ”
Tang Xi glanced at him cautiously, "My lord, I'm just ...... Just a little curious. ”
Huo Jinyan narrowed his eyes and looked at her with scrutiny, "It's just that curious?" ”
Tang Xi bit his lip and confessed as if he was deflated, "Okay, okay, to be honest, I know that you don't have too deep trust in me now, and I don't know what you are going to do at the border this time, let alone what you want to take me to, I feel uneasy, and at the same time, I also feel that I know too little about adults, so I can't help but want to explore the secrets of adults......" After a pause, she said again, "Not to mention that it was a little inexplicable for adults to ask me to clean that room at the beginning, The only reason I can think of is that you told me to wear filial piety for my sister for two years, so I can't help but wonder if it is related to my sister, so I want to go and ......see it even more."
The last sentence was made up by Tang Xi, she didn't think of it so much before, but after seeing the tablet dedicated to her, she only thought of these on the way back with Huo Jinyan, no matter what, it is right to lean on Feng Xi when she encounters things in her current identity.
And Huo Jinyan was indifferent, but when he heard the last sentence, his heart suddenly warmed, and he looked at Tang Xi, "You have deep feelings for Feng Xi?" ”
Tang Xi pursed his lips, then shook his head, "If you say that the feelings are very deep, it would be too fake, after all, I haven't seen her a few times at all, and obviously she hasn't changed much in my life." She shrugged her shoulders as she spoke, as if complaining about her current situation.
Huo Jinyan's eyes were dark, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Then why do you think it has something to do with her?" ”
Tang Xi looked lonely, "Because of curiosity, I haven't met her much, and I don't know much about her, and the things I know are all told to me when she found me at the beginning, she said that she really feels lonely, otherwise she may not recognize me at all, after all, recognizing me can't bring any changes to my life, and may even bring me death......" She smiled when she said this, "She's quite selfish when she says this, isn't she?" But I have been lonely and adrift in this world for a long time, and I am actually quite happy to find a sister in the end. ”
After Tang Xi finished speaking, he didn't give Huo Jinyan a chance to ask questions, but asked anti-guest, "I'm done, shouldn't the adults also explain why the adults set up a private mourning hall in the mansion?" ”
Huo Jinyan's movements paused slightly, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "What do you think?" ”
Tang Xi's heart trembled, subconsciously avoided his gaze, and stammered a little, "I...... I don't know? ”
He hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a self-deprecating smile, and then suddenly got up and walked inside under Tang Xi's expectant gaze, "You go back, get up early tomorrow." ”
"......" for a moment, Tang Xi felt a little lost inexplicably in his heart, as if there was a small insect crawling in his heart, itching but not being able to catch it, it was really uncomfortable.
Then Tang Xi didn't fall asleep all night, and he kept thinking about the reason why Huo Jinyan secretly hid her tablet in the mansion, you must know that if this is discovered, it will be a serious crime, and the nine clans will be destroyed.
In fact, she had an answer in her heart, but she didn't dare to be sure, and she didn't dare to think about it.
The next day, she stared at the two dark circles under her eyes and went to the front yard with her luggage, the carriage was ready, Tang Xi counted them, a total of three, she couldn't help but ask the little guy next to her suspiciously, "One for me and one for the adult, whose other one is it?" ”
"Naturally, it's me!"
Tang Xi followed the voice and looked over, only to see that Lu Zheng was wearing a big red bag today, and he was walking towards her with his chin raised at this time.
Tang Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but say cheaply, "Yo, didn't the little marquis guard the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few days before the adults were relieved?" ”
Lu Zheng, who was suddenly stimulated by this sentence, shouted in an angry manner, "Why is your little girl's mouth so damaged?" Master, I have obviously helped you many times, why are you so ungrateful! ”
Tang Xi rolled his eyes, "Let's be with each other." If it weren't for the fact that Lu Zheng despised her at the beginning, she wouldn't have treated him like this, wouldn't she? Doesn't he know that women care most about their looks? Every woman is just as cautious about this matter!
The two were arguing when they heard Huo Jinyan's voice with a hint of helplessness, "Lu Zheng, how old are you?" ”
Tang Xi bared his teeth and answered casually, "At most three years old!" ”
Huo Jinyan glanced at her, "Then you will be two years old." ”
"......" Tang Xi suddenly stopped talking.
Huo Jinyan glanced at her warnly again, and whispered in her ear, "I still remember yesterday's events, if you do anything wrong, I don't mind cutting off your legs or cutting off your tongue, even if she wants me to protect you for the rest of your life, and wants to let you break your arms and legs and feed you for a lifetime, she won't blame me too much." ”
Yes! She's going to blame you so much! She shouted in her heart, then shrunk her neck and said obediently, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely be very honest!" ”
Huo Jinyan snorted coldly and crossed him into the carriage.
Tang Xi looked at Lu Zheng with a gloating expression, and immediately stepped on him angrily and got into a carriage behind, listening to Lu Zheng's screaming when he was stepped on, Tang Xi felt a little more comfortable in his heart, hum, damn Huo Jinyan, sooner or later escape from his clutches!
So on this morning when chickens and dogs were jumping, a group of three people left the capital with more than a dozen guards.
After getting into the carriage, Tang Xi suddenly reacted, he shouldn't be angry with Lu Zheng at this time, he doesn't know anything now, and he doesn't expect Huo Jinyan to explain the current situation to her at all, only Lu Zheng is better at talking, why did he offend him with a hot head? What a mistake! It seems that we still have to find an opportunity to coax Lu Zheng.
So at noon, when everyone found a flat place to rest and eat dry food in the wild, Tang Xi changed his previous arrogant attitude, rubbed next to Lu Zheng with a smile on his face, and then handed over a glass of water and said, "Little Hou Ye must be thirsty just by eating dry food, right?" Come and drink some water! ”
Lu Zheng, who was complaining that the dry food was too unpalatable, was startled by Tang Xi, and suddenly the scum of the dry food choked into his throat, and he coughed violently, Tang Xi hurriedly handed him water to drink, and then thoughtfully patted him on the back, "Look at you, I just finished speaking, why are you so careless!" ”
Lu Zheng's coughing face turned red, and after drinking a few glasses of water, he suddenly glared at Tang Xi and said, "Master, I have a grudge against you, don't I?" Why are you doing things to hurt me? ”
Tang Xi looked innocent and aggrieved, "Where can I be!" You were careless, how can you blame me? I handed you water and patted you on the back, why are you still murdering me! ”
Lu Zheng grinded his teeth, "If you hadn't suddenly scared me, how could I have choked?" ”
Tang Xi touched his nose weakly, but his mouth was still stiff, "I'll just say something casually, where is it so easy to scare people?" After saying that, she didn't know where she got the courage, and suddenly stretched out her paw and patted Huo Jinyan, who was sitting on the other side, and shouted in her mouth, "Look at you, adults are not scared!" You blame me for your own uselessness! ”
After speaking, she turned her head disdainfully, but as soon as she turned her head, she met Huo Jinyan's cold eyes, she suddenly froze, and then immediately changed to a flattering smile, "My lord, you are also thirsty, right?" Come and have a glass of water! ”
As she spoke, she handed over the water cup in her hand, but halfway through it, she remembered that Lu Zheng had used this water cup just now, and the water in the water cup was also left over by Lu Zheng, she suddenly smiled awkwardly and withdrew her claws.
Huo Jinyan didn't embarrass her, just glanced at her warningly and got up and went back to the carriage.
Lu Zheng gloated on the side again, "You deserve it!" Who made you not look long and always provoke the third brother! ”
"......" Tang Xi endured and endured it again and again, but did not go back, only pursed his lips and lowered his head to eat the dry food in his hand.
But Lu Zheng probably belongs to the physique of not being scared and uncomfortable, seeing that Tang Xi did not jump back to him as before, he became entangled, and after a while, he pulled the corner of her clothes a little awkwardly, "Hey, you won't be really angry, right?" ”
Tang Xi rolled his eyes, "How dare I, a little slave, be angry with the little marquis." ”
Lu Zheng felt more and more awkward when he heard her speak like this, so he simply raised his butt and sat next to Tang Xi, "You, when did you pay attention to these things with me?" The two of us don't know each other anymore, just now you choked me and spared you, say, what do you want me to do this time? ”
Tang Xi glanced at him, and felt a little embarrassed when he was broken by a word, so he coughed and covered up, "Who asked for you." ”
Lu Zheng looked disdainful, "Thanks to you, we've only fought a few times, how many times have you cheated me?" When did you treat me well, weren't you trying to trick me? People say that eating one embedding grows one wisdom, do you think I'm stupid? ”
Tang Xi suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh, and said in his heart, I really thought you were stupid...... But to be honest, she is used to seeing the hypocrisy of officialdom, and when she meets someone like Lu Zheng at first glance, she really thinks it is quite interesting, especially with her current identity, there is no real conflict of interest between the two, so she is more sincere.
So she stopped pretending, approached Lu Zheng and said in a low voice, "Hey, what is the matter with this trip?" ”
Lu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, "The third brother didn't tell you?" ”
Tang Xi pouted, "The adult is too stingy, I accidentally offended him yesterday, so he didn't tell me." ”
Lu Zheng suddenly laughed muffledly, and patted her shoulder after laughing enough, "Yes, we are difficult brothers, and I will be embarrassed when I see you, I feel much more comfortable, master!" ”
Tang Xi was speechless, and waited until he had laughed enough before he said, "Don't make trouble, say it quickly, this matter is not a secret, adults just see that I am curious, so it is nothing for you to tell me secretly." ”
Lu Zheng glanced at Huo Jinyan's carriage and saw that there was no movement in the carriage, so he cleared his throat and said, "Then the young master will be merciful and tell you, in fact, this time it was the third brother who took the initiative to ......."
"Don't eat, get up and hurry."
Tang Xi was listening intently, and the curtain of Huo Jinyan's carriage behind him was opened, Huo Jinyan's cold voice interrupted Lu Zheng's words, Tang Xi turned around angrily, and happened to see Huo Jinyan looking at him with a meaningful look.
Lu Zheng stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say more, so he got up and got into the carriage.
Tang Xi saw that the routine was fruitless, so he could only walk towards his carriage dejectedly, but halfway through, he suddenly heard Huo Jinyan's voice coming out of the carriage, "Tang Xi, come and share a carriage with me." ”
Tang Xi's body stiffened, and his eyes widened and looked at Huo Jinyan's carriage, but Huo Jinyan didn't say anything more, Tang Xi incredulously pulled the groom who was driving and asked, "Just now...... Did you let me get into his carriage? ”
The groom smiled innocently, "That's right, I heard what the adults said. ”
Tang Xi, who was affirmed, got into Huo Jinyan's carriage with a tangled expression, and when she entered, Huo Jinyan was closing her eyes and recuperating, and she didn't open her eyes to look at her when she heard the voice, so she had to shrink into the corner on the side and didn't dare to lean towards him.
Lu Zheng in the back looked at the carriage in front of him in surprise, and didn't understand what Huo Jinyan's move meant, didn't he dislike women the most? Why is it ...... today? He scratched his head in confusion and sat back in his carriage.
Sitting in Huo Jinyan's carriage, Tang Xi was careful all the way, for fear that Huo Jinyan would be cut off again, but she didn't provoke Huo Jinyan, but Huo Jinyan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her.
Tang Xi was taken aback by Huo Jinyan's gaze, and suddenly became sleepy, and hurriedly asked, "What do you have to say?" ”
Huo Jinyan raised his eyebrows, "You're afraid of me?" ”
Tang Xi smiled wryly, "My lord is extremely majestic, how can I not be afraid?" ”
Huo Jinyan thought for a moment, and then asked as if puzzled, "Then why aren't you afraid of Lu Zheng?" ”
The corners of Tang Xi's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, where is Lu Zheng so ferocious as you, and you want to look at my legs at every turn? But how dare he anger Huo Jinyan at this time, so he said euphemistically, "Probably...... Is the little marquis more approachable? ”
Huo Jinyan pursed his lips and suddenly asked, "Then if you want to marry, will you choose me or him?" ”
"......" This is a proposition, Tang Xi said that he didn't dare to choose any one!
Huo Jinyan looked at her with a tangled expression, so he withdrew his gaze and looked straight ahead, and said in a light tone, "But it's okay to say it, I promise I won't blame you." ”
Tang Xi glanced at Huo Jinyan, and saw that his expression was faint and did not seem to be fake, so he said tentatively, "Then I said it?" ”
"Say."
"Ahem...... That, it's not that you're bad, adult, it's just that I think you're too cold, and ......," she considered her words, "Well, it's a little fierce, just a little bit, it belongs to the kind of bright moon hanging high in the sky, and probably only a proud girl like Mu Yao, the first beauty in the capital, dares to think about it." ”
Although Tang Xi said it tactfully, the implication was already obvious, if she had to make a choice between the two, at least she would not choose Huo Jinyan.
I don't know if it's Tang Xi's illusion, but for a moment she felt that Huo Jinyan's eyes dimmed a little, as if she was talking to herself and as if she was saying to her, "Is that so?" ”
When Tang Xi saw him like this, he suddenly felt a little guilty, and felt that he had accidentally hurt Huo Jinyan's heart? But Huo Jinyan was a little strange at this time, she touched her chin, suddenly her eyes lit up, stretched her neck and said cautiously, "My lord, you shouldn't like someone, right?" ”
Huo Jinyan glanced at her and replied, "It seems that I am still not fierce enough." ”
Tang Xi suddenly retracted his neck and shouted in his mouth, "My lord, you are like this to make people feel bored." ”
Huo Jinyan was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "If it were your sister, would she think like you?" ”
Tang Xi subconsciously wanted to say yes, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it back, and said that chatting with Huo Jinyan was really tiring, there were pits everywhere, she had said before that she didn't know much about Feng Xi, wouldn't it be a bit contradictory if she answered at this time?
So she thought about it for a moment before shaking her head and said, "I don't know either, I said I don't know her very well." ”
"Aren't you curious about who she likes?" Huo Jinyan asked again.
Tang Xi thought for a while and said, "I heard that my sister has countless harems, and the tastes are not the same." She was completely disgusting Huo Jinyan with this sentence, she didn't like to talk about herself with Huo Jinyan very much, so she deliberately mentioned the matter of her harem male pet at this time, as long as she was a man, she wouldn't like it in her heart, and if she wanted to come to Huo Jinyan to hear her say this, she wouldn't have the heart to continue talking.
However, Huo Jinyan suddenly laughed when he heard her say this, shook his head and said, "You are wrong, there are three thousand harems, but no one has ever entered her eyes." ”
In the past, he only thought that Feng Xi was busy with political affairs, but after hearing Tang Xi say many things he didn't know, he vaguely guessed a little, probably because he was hurt by the first emperor, saw through the essence of men, and understood that there could be no true feelings on the throne, so he didn't have any admiration for any man.
But Tang Xi was shocked when he heard Huo Jinyan's words, bit his lip and said, "My lord...... You seem to know your sister very well. ”
Everyone thinks she is lustful and arrogant, but only she knows that she has never touched any of those men in the harem.
She does recruit people to sleep in order to hide people's eyes, but she has never touched anyone, those people are always full of grievances after dawn, but in the face of the envious eyes of other people in the harem, they never want to tell half of the things in the night, because they think that only they have not been touched by her, so they are afraid that the spread of this matter will affect their status.
In this way, the group of intriguing men in the harem has never been broken.
She thought that she was the only one who knew about this matter, but now she heard such words from Huo Jinyan's mouth, how could she not be frightened? For a moment, the speculation in my heart was ready to move again.
She endured and endured, but she still couldn't help but ask, "There is one more thing that I have been thinking about for a long time in my heart...... The adult's attitude towards my sister seems to be different from what is rumored. ”
Huo Jinyan said a lot more today, Tang Xi thought that he would not answer, but he didn't want his slightly cold gaze to stay on her face, faintly making her feel that he seemed to be looking at another person through himself, "Then what do you think, what should my attitude towards her be?" ”
Tang Xi was a little uncomfortable by that gaze, and lowered his head slightly, "I thought that the faint monarch died and the Ming monarch ascended the throne, and the lord should be as happy as everyone else." ”
Huo Jinyan chuckled, "Faint Jun? But in my eyes, she is never a faint king. ”
Tang Xi's body trembled slightly, and sure enough, the last time she listened to his and Lu Zheng's words, she had a faint guess in her heart, and now she is completely sure that he has seen her ridiculous behavior in the past, more thoroughly than anyone else.
She lowered her head and closed her eyes, not daring to let the emotions in her heart leak out of her eyes.
He really knew everything, but he didn't say anything, and he was willingly used by her for ten years.
He was the sword in her hand, and even though she loved it for fear of it being damaged, it was still inevitable that it would be damaged when she stabbed it against the hard stones, and he had been assassinated by all these years, large and small, and repeatedly framed in the court, all thanks to her.
And how ridiculous is it that he said after her death that he would seek justice for her?
She opened her mouth slowly, and a hoarse voice squeezed out of her throat, as if it was not her own voice, "My lord...... You like your sister, don't you? ”
There was a long silence that answered her, and I don't know how long it was, until Tang Xi thought that he would not answer, and she heard a very soft but firm voice in this silence.
"Yes."
Tang Xi's heart trembled slightly, and then it was occupied by dense pain.
Oh, it should have been thought of a long time ago, wasn't it? It's ridiculous that she has been evading, she thinks that as long as she keeps avoiding, she can erase such a cruel truth.
It is not at all the same to use a person who knows nothing but is full of righteousness, and to use a person who sees more than anyone else but is willing to be used by himself because he is devoted to himself.
Just as she was thoroughly used by her beloved father, she also used a person who was sincere to herself.
No one is more noble than the other, they are all the same people, the same despicable people.
She always thought that they were fair trades, that he was the sword in her hand, that she gave him power and fame, that it was fair, wasn't it? But no matter what the deal, once it involves feelings, it can never be fair.
In the end, she owes him after all.
After a day's journey, when the sun was setting, the group arrived at a small town, and everyone rested in an inn, Lu Zheng looked at Huo Jinyan and Tang Xi, and faintly felt that the aura between the two seemed to be a little wrong, so he was very interested and did not bother.
Early the next morning, Tang Xi's face was a little haggard, and he hesitated when he stood at the door, but still got into his original carriage.
Huo Jinyan, who was getting into the carriage, noticed her movements from the corner of his eye, pursed his lips slightly, but didn't say anything after all.
Everything seems to be back to square one, but something is vaguely different.
Tang Xi didn't mean to throw her face at Huo Jinyan or anything, but after that day's conversation, she really didn't know how to face Huo Jinyan, she didn't have the intention of bullying Lu Zheng, and even faintly thought to herself, after all, she owed Huo Jinyan in her previous life, and now even if he wants his own life, he has nothing to say, so what is there to care about?
And Huo Jinyan didn't think about it so much, but Tang Xi didn't want to sit in the same carriage with him because he was afraid of him, and his behavior yesterday was indeed a little weird, and I don't know why, he seems to be more and more likely to treat Tang Xi as a phoenix recently, seeing that she and Lu Zheng are talking and laughing, his heart is inexplicably irritable.
Thinking of the question he answered Tang Xi yesterday, he pursed his thin lips slightly, that was the first time he confessed his heart to a person, he thought that if he said this feeling one day in the future, it must be when he was about to die, maybe that day he could really say the love hidden in his heart to Feng Xi without any guilt.
Feng Xi is the emperor, he is the prime minister, he can't give up a man's career and dignity for Feng Xi, and imprison the rest of his life in the harem waiting for her grace, and she will not break the rules for him, and have emotional involvement with a prime minister of the previous dynasty.
He has always understood the insurmountable gap between them, so he has never dared to have half an extravagant hope, but he never thought that she would leave the scene in such a tragic way, which is also the most unacceptable ending for him.
Tang Xi was wilting for a few days, and Lu Zheng finally couldn't stand such a strange atmosphere, and took advantage of the rest to quietly find an opportunity to move next to her, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Why do I think something is wrong with you and the third brother? ”
Tang Xi glanced at him weakly, "Let's play." ”
Lu Zheng glared, "Hey, I came here to comfort you, I see that you are unhappy and ready to answer your previous question to coax you!" ”
Speaking of this, Lu Zheng saw Tang Xi's eyes light up, so he immediately raised his chin, "But since you don't appreciate it, then forget it, the master doesn't have a hot face and a cold ass!" ”
Tang Xi looked at his arrogant appearance speechlessly, knowing that he was deliberately begging him, and he was not in the mood to ink at this time, so she fulfilled her wish, pulled his sleeve and said, "Don't, how can there be half a truth?" Isn't it okay if I owe you a personal favor? I'll definitely pay you back what you have in the future. ”
Lu Zheng was quite satisfied to see her like this, so he didn't continue to be embarrassed, and glanced around to make sure that Huo Jinyan didn't see this, and then said, "Let me tell you the truth, this time I came to the border pass, it was the third brother who took the initiative to ask for his life, and those restless ministers were ready to deal with the third brother one by one, and there were several twists and turns to impeach him, although the emperor didn't say anything, but the momentum was not very good for anyone with a discerning eye, so the third brother simply asked for his own order to go to the border pass to complete the punishment given by the first emperor to the end, and it was said that it was three months. But we have only been at the border for more than a month, so it is not surprising that we will have to stay here for two months before we can return to Beijing. ”
