91. It's not easy for him
Feng Lie pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at Yan Ning and the others, "You guys were on the boat just now, tell me what you saw." β
Li Feng and the others didn't mean to speak, after all, he had already guessed the result, so why bother to say more? can only become Tang Xi's personal witness, as for Yan Ning, as Tang Xi's elder brother, it is naturally not suitable to say more at this time.
Qi Yufeng saw that neither of them had the intention of speaking, so he stepped forward and said, "When a few of us were chatting just now, Princess Xi and Brother Jiang had a few disputes, and then Princess Xi said that it was too stuffy inside, so she went to the deck to blow the wind, and then a few of us were chatting happily, and suddenly I saw Brother Jiang stand up suddenly, and then rushed to the other side of the deck...... Due to the location, I happened to not be able to see the situation on the deck, and when we hurriedly chased out, I only saw Brother Jiang's hand stretched out in the air, and Princess Xi ...... has already fallen overboard. β
Feng Lie glanced at Jiang Zizhong with a smile, and then looked at Li Feng, "Li Feng, is that so?" β
Li Feng pursed his lips, ignored Jiang Zizhong's eyes for help, and said lightly, "Brother Qi is right, the situation at that time was indeed the case. β
"Jiang Zizhong, you are a femme fatale and murder Princess Daqian, so what else do you have to say?"
Jiang Zizhong's face turned white at once, but the matter had come to this point, no one would believe him if he said anything more, he glanced at the poor Tang Xi, his eyes flashed with strong hatred, and then he gritted his teeth and knelt down, "...... But with the emperor's fate, there are no complaints. β
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Feng Lie's mouth, "This matter is a big matter, why don't you just listen to what Princess Xi means?" β
Tang Xi's face stiffened, he gritted his teeth and scolded secretly, Feng Lie was too shameless, he had already handed the knife in front of him, but in the end, he even asked her to put the knife into the other party's heart, and in the end, she was the only one who became a bad person? But the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible for her to let go of Jiang Zizhong in order to fight for this breath, anyway, she has already offended people to this point, and she doesn't care about a few more points.
So Tang Xi's face was full of pity, and he bit his lip slightly and said, "Today I was indeed seriously frightened and threatened with my life, so I really can't say that I will leave it at that." β
Feng Lie pursed his lips, "It's okay, just say it as you want." β
"Jiang Zi is reborn and vicious, I think...... Such a prince is really difficult to use, and I implore the emperor to order the emperor of Shenggu to remove his rights, so as not to continue to harm others in the future! β
Jiang Zizhong was so angry when he heard this, "You poisonous woman! Slut! Just frame me, and even want to ruin my life so viciously! β
Feng Lie gave his subordinates a look and made him gagged, and then said quietly, "Just now you said that you would never complain, why did you regret it before I said anything?" So it seems that you really have no intention of repenting. After a pause, he looked at Tang Xi, "I have agreed to your request." β
As soon as Feng Lie's voice fell, Jiang Zizhong, who was still struggling violently, suddenly softened, his eyes were empty, and he knew that he was really finished now.
Hearing this, Tang Xi showed a slight smile on his face, and then tightened the blanket on his body and said, "Besides...... I have been weak since I was a child, and now I have fallen into the water, and I am afraid that I need a lot of supplements to nourish my body. β
Feng Lie looked her up and down with a smile, "Well, it looks like she is indeed weak and sickly, so let Sheng Gu send someone to pick up Jiang Zizhong and bring some hearts to come over to comfort Princess Xi by the way." β
Tang Xi was really a little happy when he heard this, "Then thank the emperor!" With that, he got up from the ground, turned around and ran back to the cabin to change clothes.
Well...... I just seemed to hear her say that she was frail and sickly? cough, this living dragon must be wrong!
Jiang Zizhong was taken away by Feng Lie's people, Feng Lie glanced at Li Feng, "I have heard that you and Jiang Zizhong hit it off at first sight, today, I don't know if it will make you sad?" β
The corners of Li Feng's mouth pulled up a smile, "The emperor is serious, he can't afford it at first sight, it's just a little bit of chatting, and now that he has done this kind of thing, he is to blame for any result, and there is nothing to be sad about." β
A smile appeared on Feng Lie's face, "Just look at it." β
After speaking, he looked at Huo Jinyan, who had been silent, "Today, it is rare for the prime minister to invite me to come boating, but I don't want to have such a thing, it's really disappointing, since the person is okay at this time, let's go back." β
Huo Jinyan's body was still wet, but his calm and relaxed expression made him not look embarrassed at all, and his expression did not change much when he heard Feng Lie's words of selling him directly, he just glanced at the closed cabin, and then said lightly, "Yes." β
Several people watched the emperor's painting boat leave, and it happened that Tang Xi also changed his clothes and came out, seeing that Feng Lie and Huo Jinyan had left, they were slightly relieved, and then looked at Li Feng, with a smug smile on the corner of their mouths, "Fifth prince, it seems that I can't get together again today." β
Li Feng looked at her, with an unconcealable gloomy look on his face, although he was smiling, he was extraordinarily infiltrating, "Princess Xi is really clever, and I admire it." β
Tang Xi looked at him calmly, pretending to be stupid and said, "What are you talking about, Fifth Prince?" Why don't I understand well? β
The corners of Li Feng's mouth slowly hooked a smile, "It's okay, you'll understand later." β
After a party broke up unhappily and sent off Li Feng and the two, Qi Yufeng looked at Tang Xi and saluted her, "I should thank Princess Xi today." β
Tang Xi smiled, "Thank me?" I didn't do anything. β
Qi Yufeng smiled, "Anyway, thank you, and ...... Li Feng is not as easy to deal with as Jiang Zizhong, and it is better for Princess Xi to be careful in the future and leave. β
After everyone was gone, Yan Ning looked at Tang Xi and said uncertainly, "Are you really okay?" You're working too hard, and when I saw you unconscious, I thought you were playing off! β
Tang Xi pursed his lips and said, "If you don't fall unconscious or wake up, how can you reflect Jiang Zizhong's ruthlessness?" Don't worry, I drank those few sips of water on purpose, and I just pretended to pass out. β
Yan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." After speaking, he remembered what happened just now, and said strangely, "By the way, why did Qi Yufeng thank you just now?" β
"Because...... I gave him a chance not to offend anyone and to show his loyalty. Tang Xi smiled mysteriously, and then didn't want to explain more, turned around and got into the carriage, leaving Yan Ning alone and thinking seriously about the meaning of Tang Xi's words.
In fact, this reason is very simple, just now Qi Yufeng came out to testify, at that time, he would not let Jiang Zizhong or Li Feng be jealous at all, and at the same time made his position clear to the emperor, so that their Yonghe good old man image remained stable, can he not thank himself?
Qi Yufeng is a smart person and a good person, this time he has a good relationship with him, maybe there will be good results in the future, even if she can't eat it, it will always be recorded on Yan Ning's head, this cheap brother is still good to her, but people are stupid, now help him bury a Qi Yufeng, a Cheng Nan, and his life will not be too bad in the future.
Jiang Zizhong is a waste this time, she has helped Feng Lie do everything, Feng Lie just needs to bite this problem and not let go, then no matter how much Jiang Zizhong is valued by Emperor Sheng Gu, it will be difficult to turn over in the future, and Sheng Gu got this warning, it will be difficult to jump up, and it is completely impossible for Li Feng to use Sheng Gu, Yonghe or Daqian to deal with Feng Yuan in the future.
And the confrontation between Beiyang and Fengyuan has existed for many years, Tang Xi can't solve it by himself, unless Beiyang is on the throne of a non-belligerent monarch, it is really difficult to get along peacefully, so Tang Xi has only one task left, that is, to solve the aspect of Da Qian, oh, there is also a South Vietnam who is suspected of standing behind Da Qian.
Tang Xi, who thought that he could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, could not let go of this breath, because that night, Tang Xi's room ushered in a familiar regular again.
Tang Xi, who had just drunk the ginseng soup and was about to fall asleep, sat on the bed and looked at Huo Jinyan who appeared in his room speechlessly, "Are you a flower thief?" Do you have to go through the window if you don't go through the door? I said that I won't hide from you in the future, so you can't come over tomorrow openly? β
Huo Jinyan was unmoved, and slowly approached her, "I can't wait for tomorrow." β
Tang Xi shrank in a little weakly, "cough...... Don't say such unlucky words, what is the matter with coming to me in such a hurry? β
Huo Jinyan glanced at her with a smile, "You don't know? β
Tang Xi shrank back inside, pretending to be stupid, "What do I know? β
Huo Jinyan snorted lightly, "Confess and be lenient, if you pretend to be stupid again, I'm welcome." β
Under this naked threat, Tang Xi still coaxed, "cough...... What, don't worry, I admit my mistake, can't I admit my mistake? β
"What's wrong?"
"Hmm...... I shouldn't lie to you, and I shouldn't have risked it myself. After a pause, she added, "Although it sounds a bit like a quibble when I say it at this time, I still have to tell you that the reason I changed my plan is that Yan Ning can't swim, and I can swim, so it's relatively safe!" β
It's okay not to say it, but Huo Jinyan seems to be even angrier when he says it, "Can you swim and just mess around?" Well? What if you get entangled in aquatic weeds? What if no one comes down in time to save you? In case ......"
Tang Xi saw that he was so angry that he hurriedly interrupted him, "Isn't there still you!" β
Huo Jinyan was slightly stunned, and forgot to continue for a while.
Tang Xi saw that there was a play, and hurriedly made persistent efforts, "I believe you, I know that you jumped down when you came, even if others can't save me, you will definitely not let me be drowned, don't you say?" β
Huo Jinyan pursed his lips and stopped speaking at all, just when Tang Xi was thinking about whether he had said something wrong, he heard Huo Jinyan say again, "Even if I have it, I can't risk yourself again." In a word, there were some emotions that Tang Xi couldn't hear.
But at this time, she had to continue to follow her hair and not go against the grain, so she hurriedly responded, "Okay, okay, I promise that I will never put myself in danger next time, okay?" β
"Can I still believe your promise?" As soon as he heard Tang Xi's assurance, he didn't know which nerve Huo Jinyan touched again, and the words he said sounded like a hint of gunpowder.
"Princess? Is something wrong? Why do I seem to hear someone talking" At this time, Bai Lu's voice came from outside, and she got up to go to the bathroom, but she heard that there seemed to be movement in the house, so she came over to ask.
Huo Jinyan was still a little angry at this time, Bai Lu came to disturb at this time, he subconsciously wanted to shout "get out", but Tang Xi reacted in time, jumped off the bed and covered his mouth, and then pretended to be confused and shouted, "Huh? Are you alright? I'm talking in my dreams, right? β
"Oh......" Bai Lu replied without doubting him, "Then I'll go back and continue to sleep." β
"Uh-huh, go, go, get some rest!"
It wasn't until he heard Bai Lu walking away that Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, the hand that was holding Huo Jinyan's mouth loosened, and then patted his chest and said, "You scared me to death!" If someone finds out you're on my side in the middle of the night, I won't be able to explain it enough! β
However, after finishing speaking, she found that Huo Jinyan didn't make a sound, so she looked down at him a little strangely, and then saw his eyes staring straight ahead, she followed his gaze and looked down at herself, only to find that because Huo Jinyan was sitting, she was standing in front of him at this time, with her chest facing his face...... I was in a hurry just now, and her clothes were a little messy by her, and the neckline was slightly open, revealing a looming spring light......
She jumped back with a snort, her hands tightly protected her chest, her face turned red, and she forced herself to pretend to be fierce, "You...... You rascal! β
Her big move also recalled Huo Jinyan's sanity at once, and he coughed lightly and looked away, "Obviously, you jumped in front of me by yourself, besides...... Is there anything about your figure? β
Well, it sounded like a righteous word, if he didn't have that suspicious flush on his face.
Tang Xi almost cried angrily, "You are not allowed to enter my room without permission in the future!" β
Huo Jinyan pursed his lips, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, "Then you ...... in the future"
"That's my teacup!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Xi's embarrassed voice.
Huo Jinyan stiffened slightly, and then put down the teacup casually and said, "What are you shouting?" It's not that I haven't kissed, what about using your teacup? β
"......" sounds so plausible that I can't argue with it.
Huo Jinyan coughed lightly and continued what he hadn't finished saying just now, "Then you are not allowed to put yourself in danger in the future, then I won't come." β
"Okay, okay, I promise you that you can't do it!" Tang Xi was about to die of embarrassment now, he just wanted to send people away, and he responded very quickly, and then stepped forward and pushed Huo Jinyan out.
As soon as Huo Jinyan lowered his head, he saw Tang Xi's smooth instep on the floor, and his face suddenly sank again, and he suddenly grabbed Tang Xi's hand pushing him, and frowned, "Who let you go to the ground barefoot?" I fell into the water and caught a cold today, and you don't care about your body so much? β
Tang Xi was about to defend herself, but Huo Jinyan suddenly hugged her horizontally, she couldn't help but exclaim, her hands subconsciously wrapped around his neck, and then met his eyes as soon as she raised her head.
Her face suddenly looked like a ripe shrimp, and she said nervously, "You, you...... You let go of me! β
Huo Jinyan's eyes seemed to have a fire beating, she almost suspected that he was going to turn into a wolf in the next moment, but after looking at her for a while, he restrained himself from turning his head, and then strode towards her bed, throwing her up, Tang Xi, who had fallen so hard, couldn't help but let out an "ouch" and rubbed his fart. looked up pitifully, and saw Huo Jinyan's slightly guilty eyes.
But when he saw her coming, he immediately turned his head away, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Rest well, I'll go first." β
"......" Before Tang Xi could say anything, she saw Huo Jinyan jump out of the window as soon as she turned around, she sat on the bed in a daze for a while, remembering what had just happened in her mind, her heart couldn't help but beat again, and a trace of blush climbed on her face, but there was still a little bit of joy and excitement with it.
Although she has never experienced that kind of thing, but as a lustful empress, there are still a lot of little yellow books dedicated to her by the people below, and she is also curious to peek at it, so she still understands a little bit about the scene just now, and she also knows what it means for Huo Jinyan to leave in a hurry just now, he ...... I don't want to hurt myself, so I'd rather restrain my desires.
Tang Xi thought about it, he is now twenty-nine, as an old man with the body of a child...... Well, it's not easy.
Don't ask her how she knows that Huo Jinyan is a child, she has heard the gossip in the house countless times, even if she doesn't believe it, but Yan Qing, who has been with him for more than ten years, will not be unclear, he Huo Jinyan, for so many years, there has never been a woman.
Tang Xi fell asleep in these chaotic thoughts, and maybe it continued in his dreams.
And Huo Jinyan is not so lucky, after he returned home, he practiced swordsmanship all night, and finally let the boiling blood in his bones fall silent, not that he didn't want to, but he couldn't.
If it was before, he might have obeyed his mind impulsively, but now...... After he chose that path, he knew that if he failed, only death awaited him.
If he died, then Tang Xi would have to continue to live, if he possessed her, how would she deal with herself? No matter how much the man she married in the end loved her, it was impossible not to care about the fact that she had belonged to someone else.
His single-mindedness is a gamble, if he survives, Tang Xi can only belong to him; If he died, then Tang Xi would naturally be free, he ...... It's a possibility to gamble their lives between them.
Without Jiang Zizhong's-stirring stick, Li Feng took over his shift, brushed up his presence in front of Tang Xi all day long, sent someone to send a little gold and silver jewelry today, and asked someone to send rouge gouache tomorrow, even if everything was returned by Tang Xi, he was still not discouraged.
In this way, in less than five or six days, the rumors in the capital are boiling, and the five princes of Beiyang, who have fallen in love with the princess of Daqian, are now pursuing frantically, sending some rare things all day long, envying others.
In addition, in order to make this fragrant anecdote more legendary, some people say that in fact, Princess Xi knew Li Feng when she was still in the people, and the two had a sadomasochistic relationship in the end, but because of Princess Xi's identity at the time, she gave up, and now she is reunited in Fengyuan Kingdom, Princess Xi has become a princess of a country, and even if she can't forget the Li Feng who disliked her identity in the past, she didn't want to give him a good look, and only let him regret his past behavior.
After Tang Xi heard this story, he was amazed, "It's a pity that the person who made up this story doesn't tell the story!" What is this? It's like seeing it with his own eyes, and he doesn't think about it with his pig brain, I'm in Daqian, and the wind is in Beiyang, how could the two of us meet in the people? If Li Feng conceals his identity and sneaks into Daqian, he will immediately die as a sieve as soon as he is discovered, believe it or not! β
Qingshuang looked worried, "But princess, even if this statement is no longer credible, where will those people think deeply?" These anecdotes are just their after-dinner conversations, as long as they are wonderful, where does it matter, is it true? β
Bai Lu answered on the side, "And Ah Princess, the person who made up this story did go to tell the story, and specifically changed your name and surname to Li Feng, and turned it into a story, which is a lot of people who listen to it every day!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Tang Xi slapped the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Is it tolerable or unbearable!" Li Feng is determined to kill me! I'm going to settle accounts with him! β
Qingshuang frowned, "Princess, calm down, you went to Li Feng to settle accounts at this time, and I don't know what it will become, isn't it just what he wants?" In my opinion, we should take a long-term view. β
Tang Xi naturally knew this truth, but he was really angry and couldn't say this, and he had to sit down again after being surrounded by Qingshuang, "Then how do you think about it in the long run?" This kind of rumor is the most difficult to manage, you can't let people arrest everyone who talks nonsense, right? Wouldn't that be even more insignificant? β
Qingshuang pondered for a moment, "In my opinion, the best way is to let Li Feng leave the capital immediately, so that after a long time, the rumors will be gradually forgotten by people, and it will not have any impact on you." After a pause, she frowned again and said, "Actually, speaking of which, it won't have any impact now, and only the people will believe these loopholes everywhere, and other civil and military officials or the emperor will not be gullible, at most, they just feel that Li Feng is indeed pursuing you, why is he so troublesome?" β
Tang Xi has been disgusted to death in the past two days, and she can't think about it at all, she just thinks that Li Feng is just going to disgust her and ruin her reputation, but at this time, Qingshuang said that she immediately reacted, yes, to be honest, his little tricks really don't have any big lethality, Li Feng is not such a naΓ―ve person, he is so troublesome, what is it for?
She frowned, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in her heart, "You're right, then I won't go out next!" β
