Speaking of the past, Cheng Nan's face softened a lot, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Do you remember that time when you saved me?" I was seriously injured at that time, and although you helped me to bandage it, I could not stay overnight because I was in the mountains, otherwise the smell of blood would definitely attract wild beasts, so I did not care about serious injuries, and walked out of the forest overnight, but unfortunately I did not go far before I fainted again. Speaking of this, he paused, "When I woke up later, what I saw was Shangguan Yu." ”

Tang Xi was stunned, and then asked a little tangled, "Both of us saved you, and I can only be regarded as saving half of you, why did you kidnap me as Mrs. Zhai, and avoid Shangguan Yu?" ”

Hearing Tang Xi mention the past, Cheng Nan's face turned red, and he said, "That's different...... I don't just like you because you saved me. ”

Tang Xi was even more surprised when he heard this, "But apart from saving you, we don't have anything else to intersect?" ”

"I like someone, naturally because I like her character, you are gentle and kind, obviously a little afraid and defensive of me, but you are still willing to save me, and ...... You're the only one who doesn't show any special expression when you see my face, you ...... It's special. ”

After saying this, Cheng Nan's face was already red, Tang Xi couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw him like that, and said in his heart that he didn't expect Cheng Nan to be such an innocent thief, but it was quite cute, no wonder Shangguan Yu was so persistent.

"You think I chose to save you because of kindness, but in fact, I was just worried that the smell of blood on your body would attract wild beasts to affect us, so I saved you." Tang Xi said earnestly, "And what you said I was not moved by your skin, it was just because I had seen a better skin, so in fact, you thought about it from the beginning, but Shangguan Yu, I think she is the real kind person." ”

Cheng Nan couldn't help frowning after listening to Tang Xi's words, and said in a sullen voice, "I know you don't like me, but you don't have to smear yourself like this to reject me, and Shangguan Yu...... She's just a crazy girl, her mouth is very black, where is she kind? ”

Tang Xi shook his head and said indifferently, "You can't help but think too much, whether you like me or not actually has no effect on me, and I can't be guilty of discrediting myself to cut off your thoughts, what I said is the truth, if you don't believe me, I can't help it." ”

"As for Shangguan Yu, you only saw her on the surface, she just had a darker mouth, but in fact, she was kind-hearted, just said that Fu Jinglan at the beginning, she said that she didn't care about her, but didn't she default to save her? Besides, when I was in the capital, Shangguan Yu seemed to help me for my three thousand taels of silver, but in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that three thousand taels of silver was just three thousand taels of silver, and it was impossible to make her take such a big risk, especially her special identity, if she was arrested and found out of her identity as the county lord, it was likely that she would be regarded as a fine work, and the consequences would be unimaginable, I didn't know her identity so I begged her, but she couldn't have thought of this, but even so, she still agreed to me, isn't it too kind? ”

After Tang Xi finished speaking, Cheng Nan fell into deep thought, in the past, he only felt that Shangguan Yu was annoying, and he couldn't get rid of it like a dog skin plaster, but he never thought about it deeply, and now that Tang Xi said this, he realized that he had ignored too many things......

Although Cheng Nan is very arrogant and his EQ is also lower, but in the final analysis, he is not stupid, he is just lazy to think about it, and now that Tang Xi is like this, he thinks about it deeply, and suddenly understands a lot of things.

"She ......" Cheng Nan's face was solemn, mixed with a hint of chagrin, "Why didn't she say it earlier?" ”

Tang Xi saw that he had finally opened his mind, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, "It's not that you don't know her, it's just a little girl who doesn't grow up, she has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and she will never defend if she is misunderstood, it is absolutely impossible for you to expect her to say it herself." ”

After saying that, she patted him on the shoulder, "You can think about it alone." ”

Tang Xi left Cheng Nan alone in the house, and she went out to look for the cane, just after she finished speaking, she suddenly felt that the next thing might not be very good, as she said, Shangguan Yu is a kind girl, and kind people are always easier to be pinched by others...... If King Yi came to her with the safety of the entire Yiwang Mansion, and told her with her responsibility as the county lord, she was afraid that she would ...... Will compromise.

In her previous life, she was bound by the responsibilities brought by her identity, and now she doesn't want to see Shangguan Yu follow in her footsteps, so she must figure out the current situation as soon as possible, and it would be great if she could think of any way to help her.

"Cane." Tang Xi walked into the small kitchen in the courtyard and saw at a glance that Xiangsu was busy cooking.

Xiangcane was washing vegetables, and when she heard the voice, she turned around and saw Tang Xi standing at the door, she hurriedly put down the work in her hand and walked over quickly, "Miss Tang, what are your orders?" ”

Tang Xi smiled and shook his head, "I just want to talk to you for a while, you continue to be busy, and I will help you too." ”

"How does this work?" Xiangcane hurriedly waved her hand, "You are the county lord's honored guest, how can I let you do it?" ”

Tang Xi smiled slyly when he heard this, "That's what you don't know, I used to be a fire girl in a big family, this little thing is nothing, don't be polite to me." ”

After speaking, she ignored the cane obstruction, rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen, fortunately, when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she often helped others to help, although it was not good to cook seriously, but it was still difficult for her to wash the vegetables or something.

Seeing that she was insistent, Xiangcane didn't stop her anymore, but said with a smile, "Then thank you Miss Tang." ”

Tang Xi was talking to Xiangcane while washing vegetables, "Speaking of which, it's the first time I've come to Daqian, and I don't know much about this place, and I've never heard Shangguan Yu talk about her family before I came to Yiwangfu. ”

Xiangcane is a smart person, and when she said this, she understood what she wanted to ask, so she said directly, "The girl can just say what she wants to ask, but there are some things that we are inconvenient to talk about, and please forgive the girl." ”

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, if there's anything bad to say, I'll go directly to your county lord." Tang Xi likes cheerful people, and her smile is much more sincere when she says this, "I'm just a little worried about her, so I want to ask about the situation here." ”

Xiangsu breathed a sigh of relief, anyone can know this kind of thing casually, and there is no difference between her saying and not saying it, so she also said the situation of the Yi Wangfu to Tang Xi, "You just went over with the county lord to ask for peace, the old lady, the king of Yi and the princess, you have probably seen it, the old lady is the best one for the county lord in this mansion, as for the prince, the county lord has not had a good relationship with the prince since the death of the princess, especially after the prince married the current princess." ”

Tang Xi nodded, she could see these things at the time, as the so-called stepmother also has a stepfather, then Princess Yi is not a good character at first glance, and she is especially coquettish, although Shangguan Yu is smart, but her temper is also a little short-tempered, it must be easy to suffer a loss when dealing with someone like her, so it is not surprising that she is misunderstood and disgusted by King Yi, but she is a person who does not like to explain, which causes the current situation to be normal.

"I saw a few young men and women on the concubine's side, presumably other children of King Yi, right? Can you talk to them to me? ”

Xiangsu nodded, "In addition to the county lord, the prince also has two daughters and two sons, the second miss is from the current princess, the third miss is from the princess, the eldest young master is from the princess, and the second young master is also from the princess." ”

In this way, the pink-clothed woman who ridiculed Shangguan Yu at that time should be this second lady, and she would never dare to be so presumptuous, thinking of this, Tang Xi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Speaking of which, your second miss is also a concubine, why was she not named the county lord?" ”

Xiangsu frowned slightly, looking very disgusted with the second lady, and said in a slightly lowered voice, "Although our King Yi is the emperor's younger brother, he is not favored, and the emperor's attitude towards him is very general, so our county lord can be named the county lord, relying not on King Yi but on the first princess, the first princess is the sister of the first queen, when the first queen did not pass away, the emperor was very respectful, after the first princess died of illness, the first queen was very sad, in order to appease the first queen, our county lord was given the title, As for the second lady later, naturally she didn't have that blessing. ”

"The first queen died immediately after the first princess?"

Xiangsu was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "How does the girl know?" ”

"Guess." If the first queen had not passed away, King Yi would not have blatantly sent Shangguan Yu away, so it is obvious that the lives of their sisters were not very good, and they all died one after another at a young age.

"That'...... What is your emperor's attitude towards the county lord? ”

Xiangsu paused and said apologetically, "I don't know about this, I have been with the county lord for a year after all, and then the county lord left the house in anger with the prince, and I didn't come back until today, so I don't know much about this kind of thing." ”

Tang Xi was not disappointed when he heard this, he just asked casually, in fact, the emperor's attitude towards Shangguan Yu was also vaguely visible, if she was favored, King Yi would not have left her elsewhere for so many years.

After talking to Xiangcane, she felt that this level was not good, Shangguan Yu's situation was too bad, grandma didn't love her uncle and didn't love her, basically no one could help her say a word, and in her case, if she really told her about her family, then the family matter would definitely not be good, it was really a dilemma.

Just as she was thinking about walking out, she saw Shangguan Yu enter the courtyard, Tang Xi was slightly stunned, she had never seen Shangguan Yu so worried, it seemed that the situation was worse than she thought.

"Shangguan Yu." She called out to her, "How's it going?" ”

Shangguan Yu watched Tang Xi walk towards her, she pursed her lips, "What about Cheng Nan?" ”

"I'm in the house, I'm going to call him?" Tang Xi said that he was about to go to Cheng Nan's house.

"Wait!" Shangguan Yu suddenly grabbed her, and his eyes gradually dimmed, "Tang Xi, you can take him away early tomorrow morning." ”

Tang Xi's brows furrowed fiercely, and his tone became a little heavier, "Shangguan Yu, what happened?" Are you not going to tell us this? ”

Shangguan Yu's lips were a little pale, and after struggling for a long time, he still said to her, "Tang Xi, I'm getting married, so I'm going to ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you. ”

Sure enough, Tang Xi sighed slightly in her heart, as she thought, a kind person like Shangguan Yu was too easy to be grasped, even if she was dissatisfied with her own father, it was still impossible for her to watch him have an accident, so in this game, she must be the one who compromises in the end.

"Shangguan Yu, we are friends, even if you are going to get married, you can always tell me who you want to marry, right?"

Shangguan Yu lowered his eyes and grinned, "You probably won't feel strange when you say it, it's your Fengyuan's emperor - Feng Lie." ”

She raised her head and looked at Tang Xi, and said word by word, "Tang Xi, I'm going to be sent to kiss." ”

Rao had already made a lot of mental preparations, but she couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, "Heqin? ”

Shangguan Yu picked the corners of his mouth, "Yes, Heqin." ”

One of the reasons why Daqian is a very mysterious country is that Daqian has many traditional taboos, one of which is the tradition of Daqian never getting along, and Daqian has never broken this taboo in the hundreds of years of existence, and even as a vassal state of Fengyuan, Daqian has paid tribute to many things, but there are no beauties.

But now they actually want to send Shangguan Yu to make peace, why is this?

Shangguan Yu closed his eyes a little tiredly, "I know what you want to ask, but I am a member of the Daqian royal family, and there are some things I can't say." ”

Tang Xi pursed her lips, after all, she didn't continue to ask, she said well, they can be friends on weekdays, they can talk about everything, but it is related to royal secrets, she can't ask more, especially the secrets related to Feng Yuan, if she knows, it will only increase her troubles.

"I'll go back to my room and rest first, this matter is ...... It's up to you to talk to Cheng Nan, and you can leave tomorrow. ”

Shangguan Yu returned to the room, but Tang Xi's mood was very heavy, because of the tradition of Daqian never getting married, so for Daqian's women, it was even more shameful to be sent to get married, and the extent was ...... Probably no less than being bullied in public. Insult.

She pursed her lips and glanced at the room with the door closed, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart, knowing that Shangguan Yu must be very distressed at the moment, but she couldn't help anything, and she couldn't even say a word of comfort.

Then, she had to face Cheng Nan.

Tang Xi walked to the door of Cheng Nan's room and knocked on the door, and soon Cheng Nan came over and opened the door, and said with a hint of joy on his face, "Is she back?" ”

Tang Xi looked at the smile on his face, a little unbearable, but in the end, he still had to say that instead of letting Shangguan Yu say it and making them both sad, it was better for her to say it, at least Shangguan Yu would not be too uncomfortable.

"Cheng Nan, Shangguan Yu said let's leave tomorrow."

Shangguan Yu was slightly stunned, "Why?" Did I just make her angry by causing her trouble? This woman is just stingy, I'm going to accompany her now. With that, he crossed over to Tang Xi and prepared to find Shangguan Yu.

"Cheng Nan!" Tang Xi stopped him, "Shangguan Yu...... I'm getting married. ”

Cheng Nan's footsteps suddenly froze there, and for a long time, his voice trembled a little, "You...... Say what? ”

Tang Xi felt uncomfortable in his heart, and even didn't dare to look at his expression, he had just seen his heart a little clearly, and such bad news was coming to him, which was too cruel for him.

She repeated in a low voice, "Shangguan Yu is getting married, and she doesn't have time to accompany us next, so ...... She wanted us to leave. ”

Cheng Nan suddenly turned to look at Tang Xi, his eyes were a little red, "What are you talking about?" With a character like hers, how could she casually agree to marry? Even if...... Even if she agreed, it would certainly not be voluntary, so how could we leave her alone and leave on our own? Have you forgotten how she helped you when she was in the capital? ”

Tang Xi pursed her lips, a little unsure of how to answer, she didn't blame Cheng Nan for questioning herself at this time, but she didn't know how to explain to him, in the end, some words didn't work if she said it.

"Forget it, you better go to her and make it clear in person."

Tang Xi didn't follow along, because she didn't need to look at it, she knew what the result would be.

When it was time to have dinner, Tang Xi had already sat down, and after a while, Shangguan Yu and Cheng Nan came to sit down one after the other, Tang Xi looked up, Shangguan Yu's face was pale, as if nothing had happened, she sat next to Tang Xi, smiled and picked up a chopstick dish and put it in her bowl, "Come and try my cane craftsmanship, authentic local dishes, absolutely satisfied with eating." ”

Tang Xi smiled very reluctantly with her, and then put the dish in her mouth, but she was in no mood to care about what it was like, she raised her eyes and glanced at Cheng Nan, wanting to compare Shangguan Yu's casualness, his face looked very ugly, especially when Shangguan Yu was talking to her with a smile, he suddenly put down his chopsticks and said in a muffled voice, "I'm full." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left the dining room.

With his departure, the atmosphere in the room suddenly cooled down, Shangguan Yu was originally picking vegetables, with Cheng Nan leaving, her hand froze in mid-air, and it took a long time before she slowly put it down, and then smiled at Tang Xi, "Leave him alone, let's eat." ”

That being said, she was much more dull than she had just been.

Tang Xi sighed, "Okay, the person has already left, you don't have to force yourself to pretend to be nothing." ”

Shangguan Yu's chopsticks were slowly put down, and she laughed a little self-deprecatingly after a while, "Am I quite shameless?" Chasing when I like it, and kicking it away when I don't like it, I've always been wishful thinking, but I've never cared about his feelings. ”

"Shangguan Yu...... If you don't want to get married, we'll help you. ”

"Help me? How can you help me? If I escape, our entire Yiwang Mansion will suffer, or will you cheat to death? But my father is not Huo Jinyan, he is wary of me, how can he give me the opportunity to steal the beams and change the pillars? If I don't want to get married, probably the only way is for me to actually die. ”

Tang Xi was silent, if she didn't need to worry about anything else, Shangguan Yu could completely tell her about her situation, she might be able to help her come up with some ideas, but now with this layer of restrictions, if she wants to help her, she can only use such a crooked brain, but Shangguan Yu is right, since the moment she stepped into Yanjing, I am afraid that she will be strictly watched by her father, and it is impossible to find an opportunity to steal the beam and change the pillar.

"I used to think that since I left here since I was a child, I have never enjoyed the treatment of a princess in the name of the county lord, and no one has ever taken care of me, then I am naturally free, but I didn't expect that even if I didn't enjoy anything, they would have their own way to let me take on this responsibility."

"Huh...... If I had known, I wouldn't have provoked Cheng Nan. She smiled, "In the past, I always held my breath and thought that one day I would make Cheng Nan like me, and I was sad because Cheng Nan didn't like me, but now, I am very lucky, glad that he didn't like me, glad that this is always my one-man show, and now even if I leave the scene, it will not have any impact on him." ”

Tang Xi opened his mouth, wanting to say that Cheng Nan had already opened his mind, but he felt that saying it would only make her more sad, and in the end he didn't say anything, maybe Shangguan Yuben didn't expect her to say anything at this time, all she needed was a listener.

Tang Xi thought that he had finally escaped from that whirlpool of power, but he didn't want to fall into another whirlpool without paying attention, although the protagonist was not her, but Shangguan Yu was her friend, and she also felt the same way.

Shangguan Yu asked them to go, she naturally didn't want to go, but now Cheng Nan may have to do something impulsively, and it will only be a bad thing at that time, so at least she and Cheng Nan have to leave King Yi's sight first, and then see if they can help.

Early the next morning, Tang Xi got up early, went to see Shangguan Yu, and was about to take Cheng Nan away, but after knocking on the door outside Cheng Nan's room for a long time, he found that the person was no longer in the room.

She frowned, and hurriedly ran to find Shangguan Yu, "Cheng Nan is gone." ”

Shangguan Yu was taken aback, "What's missing?" ”

"There was no sign of a fight in the house, and I guess I walked by myself."

Shangguan Yu fell silent when she heard this, and she waved her hand for a while, "Okay, let's go...... It's good. ”

At least, she had said goodbye to him seriously, and she had no regrets.

Tang Xi stroked her forehead with a little headache, Shangguan Yu thought that Cheng Nan didn't like her, so naturally she wouldn't think that he would come back if he left, but she saw it clearly, she was sure that Cheng Nan would definitely come back.

Originally, I wanted to take him away, so I could watch him, but now it's good, he left silently alone, and he disappeared in the dark, she just couldn't watch it if she wanted to.

"Shangguan Yu, I'll accompany you."

Shangguan Yu was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "You don't have to be like this, this matter is very deeply involved, and I don't want to involve you as well." ”

Tang Xi pretended to smile relaxedly, "Don't worry, I definitely won't ask more about things that I shouldn't know, I just want to...... At least accompany you to the day of the kiss, as for the future, even if you let me accompany me, I don't dare, after all, I have already died in Fengyuan's capital. ”

Shangguan Yu was silent for a while, and finally said softly, "Thank you." ”

Tang Xi couldn't help but reach out and shake her hand, "This sentimental appearance is not like you, Shangguan Yu I know is a cynical girl who doesn't care about anything." ”
