Tang Xi stood below, watching the two of them come and go and settle the matter like this, she couldn't help but interject, "Prime Minister, you can decide such a big matter like this without the consent of Emperor Fengyuan, I'm afraid it's not big, right?" ”

Huo Jinyan's gaze swept coldly over her face, "What? Princess Xi doesn't seem to welcome me as a lifesaver? ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, "Yan Xi doesn't dare, I'm just afraid that I will affect the Prime Minister." ”

Huo Jinyan narrowed his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, "There is Princess Laoxi who is concerned, but the matter is urgent, I am also for the safety of the envoys, and then it is my Feng Yuan's territory, if something happens to you, Feng Yuan is really to blame, so I believe Your Majesty will understand." ”

Seeing the two of them looking at each other, Yan Ning didn't know why, he always felt that the atmosphere between the two was not quite right, and it didn't look like the life-saving benefactor and the rescued person at all, so he spoke out to ease the slightly embarrassing atmosphere, "Prime Minister Huo Cheng is for the country and the people, even if the emperor of Fengyuan wants to blame, I will intercede for Prime Minister Huo Cheng, and I will definitely not let Prime Minister Huo Cheng bear this charge in vain." ”

Tang Xi was reluctant in her heart, Yan Ning's words were all said to this point, and she couldn't continue to object, so she glanced at Yan Ning, "Since the third brother said so, then I don't have any opinion, it's just that the third brother ...... The third brother is really to blame for such heavy losses in this attack, and Qingshuang has truthfully told the emperor...... I hope that next time I can take this as a warning and not let this happen again. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Ning's eyes suddenly sank, and she looked at Tang Xi's eyes with obvious resentment, but because Huo Jinyan was here, she didn't have a seizure, but Tang Xi knew that he completely hated her this time, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely not mind stepping on her.

But she didn't mind this, the emperor's reply would arrive soon, she was sure that the emperor would warn him, as long as he didn't want to die with her, he would definitely not do anything on this road, not to mention that now that there was another Huo Jinyan in the team, he would not act rashly.

Since he didn't dare to make a move on this way, then he went to Feng Yuan, he was not her opponent, after all, no one knew Feng Yuan's powerful families better than her, now she had the right in her hands, and no one could easily fight her when she went to Feng Yuan, so she was not afraid of him, so naturally she would immediately scold him verbally, she was not happy now, and naturally she couldn't make Yan Ning too comfortable.

So she smiled provocatively at Yan Ning without restraint, "In this way, third brother, then I will go back to rest first, and I can continue to rush tomorrow." ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for them to react, she turned around and left the tent, remembering Yan Ning's dark face, she was in a much better mood, so she walked briskly all the way to her tent.

"Princess, you're back!" The first one to catch up was Cheng Nan, who had some injuries to his arm, which had already been bandaged with a white cloth at this time, but he probably bled a little more, and his lips looked a little pale.

Tang Xi frowned slightly and said, "Why are you injured?" Is it serious? ”

Cheng Nan saw her return safely, his face showed some joy, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard her ask, "Those people are all strong in martial arts, they are besieged by them, we have killed a lot of brothers, if it weren't for the third prince who came back later, I'm afraid that the lives of a few of us would also be lost." As he spoke, he hung his head a little guiltily, "I'm sorry, I said I wanted to protect you, but I ...... today."

Tang Xi hurriedly shook his head, "It's not your fault, you don't need to blame yourself." At the same time, his heart sank, this matter was planned by Huo Jinyan...... If he wanted to, he would definitely not be able to hurt their lives, but he killed so many people in order to have a reason to return to Beijing with the team...... She felt a chill in her heart, and she thought that she had probably never really known this person.

Cheng Nan thought about it and mentioned another thing, "That's right...... After you were kidnapped, I met Huo Jinyan. After a pause, he hesitated a little and said, "Can't I be discovered by him?" ”

Speaking of Huo Jinyan, Tang Xi's eyes sank again, and then he pursed his lips and said, "It's okay, he won't do anything to you when you're by my side, and he won't reveal your identity, you can rest assured." ”

Cheng Nan nodded, and then stopped talking, "Then you ......?"

Without waiting for Tang Xi to answer anything, Bai Lu came back from outside with some food, and when she saw the two of them standing outside the tent, she couldn't help but wonder, "Why is the princess standing here?" I heard that you are back, so I went to make a meal, go in and have a bite, Qingshuang should make the bed inside. ”

So the two of them didn't have a chance to speak, so Tang Xi nodded, and then said to Cheng Nan, "Okay, since you are injured, go back to rest earlier." ”

"Yes, thank you princess for your concern."

Cheng Nan left, Tang Xi and Bai Lu entered the tent together, and then ate a little casually and prepared to sleep.

However, Qingshuang didn't go out, "Princess, today's things are a little strange, those mountain bandits are well-trained, they really don't look like ordinary mountain bandits, I'm afraid someone is deliberately targeting the princess, what does the princess think about this?" ”

Tang Xi glanced at her and said lightly, "I've only been here for a few months?" There is definitely no personal vendetta, and such a big battle is not like revenge, it is better to let the emperor think about it, whether there is anyone who does not want me to reach Fengyuan safely. ”

Hearing this, Qingshuang was silent thoughtfully for a while, and then with a look of inquiry on her face, "That princess...... Have you experienced any strange things? ”

Tang Xi's face suddenly sank, and he looked at her coldly and said, "You might as well ask me directly if I have lost my virginity?" ”

Qingshuang suddenly lowered her head, "Qingshuang doesn't dare!" ”

Tang Xi snorted lightly, "You also saw it, I have only been missing for less than six hours, Huo Jinyan came in time, I was rescued before I even saw any important person, so you can rest assured." ”

Qingshuang arched her hand a little uncomfortably, "It's good that the princess is safe, then the princess is resting, and Qingshuang won't bother much." ”

When the people were gone, she lay alone in the tent, but she couldn't sleep anymore, her mind was full of Huo Jinyan's various expressions, and the past he said she never knew.

If she just didn't want Huo Jinyan to taste losing her again after a year, then now she has another layer of concerns...... Huo Jinyan's obsession was stronger than she imagined, just because he chose to take revenge on the entire Feng Yuan for her without hesitation, she had no doubt that if he knew that he was calculated by Emperor Daqian, he would definitely not hesitate to launch a war to attack Daqian!

He is the prime minister of Fengyuan, and his power is already very great, not to mention that with his strategy, he can definitely provoke all countries to attack Daqian together! Although she knew that Emperor Daqian was ambitious, she never wanted to start a war, what she wanted to do was to make Feng Lie aware of Emperor Daqian's ambitions, and then find a way to eliminate his ambitions, instead of plunging the world into war!

It doesn't matter if she's cowardly, or if she's kind, it's just that she was once the king of a country, and those feelings for the country and the people have long been deeply engraved in her soul, and she never wants to let the whole world fall into the abyss because of her own selfish interests!

Therefore, she must keep this secret firmly, but in this case, she has to continue acting in front of Huo Jinyan...... Coupled with the emperor and Feng Lie of Daqian, she will struggle to survive in the gap between these three parties, and her situation is really getting more and more difficult.

Tang Xi's abduction was over, and as for whether Emperor Daqian could track down anything later, she didn't know, in short, they joined a Huo Jinyan in their group, and then continued to go to Fengyuan Capital.

Along the way, Tang Xi's heart was always raised, worried that Huo Jinyan would do something again, but Huo Jinyan didn't make any movement as if the flag had died down, and he didn't even have any intersection with her along the way, as if he was really just a good prime minister who impartially enforced the law and escorted the envoys.

It's just that Tang Xi still noticed that since Huo Jinyan came, there were more guards around her carriage, and her food was obviously much better, but he didn't ask about these little things, just didn't know anything.

After walking quietly for nearly a month, their team arrived safely in the capital.

The envoys of the Great Cadre visited, and the welcome ceremony given by Feng Yuan was also very spectacular, the hundred officials greeted each other at the city gate, Tang Xi looked at the familiar land and familiar people outside through the car window, and suddenly had a sense of solidity in his heart, which was the intimacy of finally returning to his hometown.

The carriage went all the way to the palace, with the privilege given by Feng Lie, and there was no need to get off the carriage at the gate of the palace, until it arrived at the gate of the main hall, someone opened her sedan curtain, "Princess Xi, it's here." ”

She slowly got out of the carriage with the support of the palace people, and today she knew that she was going to enter the palace to face the saint, she deliberately dressed very grandly, coupled with the role of rouge during this period of time, when she first appeared, she also amazed a lot of people.

Staying in the main hall, the moment Feng Lie saw her, a hint of different color flashed in his eyes, but at the moment of state affairs, he didn't say anything immediately, and after finishing the scene, he seemed to unintentionally pull the topic to Tang Xi's body, "Princess Xi and I are the first time to meet?" What do I think...... Something familiar? ”

The reason why he just said that he was familiar was because Tang Xi's changes were a little big, although his skin was much whiter than before, but after many years of wind and sun, where could he be fully raised in a while? So if compared to other ladies, it is still darker, but now her skin is whiter than snow, and it is not that sickly white, but ruddy white, in the case of good skin, the delicate facial features have suddenly increased a little color, under such a change, Feng Lie hesitated for a while and was not sure that it was normal.

In contrast, Huo Jinyan met her a month in advance, and at that time she had just changed a little, which did not make Huo Jinyan hesitate, and the next month was even more together, looking at it every day, naturally she couldn't see the change for a while.

Hearing Feng Lie's question, Tang Xi stepped forward and said, "Yan Xi is not humble or arrogant, and it is my honor to meet the emperor and make the emperor feel kind, but it is indeed the first time we have met." ”

The reason why she dared to say this was that Tang Xi's identity was dead when she fled the capital, and the emperor did not waste time on her at that time, and then the emperor of Daqian deliberately sent someone to erase these traces, claiming that the news that the princess was in Fengyuan Capital was fake, in fact, the princess has been living in the territory of Daqian, but she is in a remote place, so it will take so long to be found.

The reason why Emperor Daqian did this was naturally because he knew that she had cheated to death and escaped from marriage, and if the emperor knew that it was her, he would definitely have a bad impression of her, and it would be a troublesome matter in case he was investigated.

With this premise, coupled with the fact that her appearance has also changed a lot, she dares to say that she doesn't recognize Feng Lie at all, so even if Feng Lie suspects, he can't find the slightest evidence and there is nothing he can do with her.

Feng Lie looked at her for a while, and seeing that there was no half-distracted expression on her face, he pursed his lips slightly and said, "Really?" Princess Xi's name is also very similar to one of my friends. ”

Tang Xi smiled slightly, "Because I was just recovered, the emperor named me Yan Xi, which means that Yan is returning, which is a beautiful implication." ”

Of course, this was just made up by Tang Xi, in fact, the Daqian Emperor was obviously too lazy to change her name, and directly changed her surname and pulled it down, mainly because he didn't know that he had intersected with Feng Lie, so he didn't care about these details.

Her answer was basically impeccable, Feng Lie couldn't find any flaws in her, fortunately, she just smiled faintly at her, "Princess Xi came to Fengyuan to choose a son-in-law, and I will introduce you to the talents in the capital, hoping that the princess can choose a good son-in-law." ”

"Then borrow Your Majesty's auspicious words."

After talking to Tang Xi, Feng Lie put the spearhead on Huo Jinyan again, the reason why he felt that this Yan Xi was likely to be Tang Xi was also because of Huo Jinyan, it was strange that he took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Daqian, and what was even more strange was that he came back with this team before he arrived in Daqian, which made him have to suspect that Huo Jinyan's trip was basically going to this princess.

During Huo Jinyan's departure from Beijing, he transferred several Huo Jinyan's henchmen, and now he is also a little tougher, "Huo Jinyan, you took the initiative to ask to go to Daqian a few days ago, and I agreed, but now you are returning halfway, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate, right?" ”

"Your Majesty is aware that the previous ministers have reported it, and the matter is urgent, so the ministers are in charge, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins."

Yan Ning is not particularly smart, otherwise this thankless thing would not have fallen on him, at this time, he couldn't see that Feng Lie was deliberately targeting Huo Jinyan, and when he heard Feng Lie's tone was wrong, he immediately pleaded for Huo Jinyan and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Huo's generosity is all for our safety, and please let Your Majesty know." ”

Feng Lie's face sank slightly, and he glanced at him with a smile, "The third prince has gotten along very well with my prime minister all the way." ”

Although Yan Ning is not particularly smart, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that Feng Lie's tone was not quite right, especially the question just now, Huo Jinyan is Feng Yuan's prime minister, what is the matter with him getting along very well with a prince of another country? But in front of so many people, he couldn't say badly, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Your Majesty...... Lord Huo helped us, and I just stated the situation to the emperor...... There is no intention of interference, and the emperor does not dare to discuss how to execute us. ”

Feng Lie snorted coldly, and then withdrew his gaze from Yan Ning, "Huo Jinyan, no matter what the reason is, this move is always wrong, if it is not punished, and the others will not take my words seriously?" As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, "But you saved the princess of Daqian again, which can be regarded as meritorious...... In this case, the punishment will only be one year. ”

Huo Jinyan did not have the slightest objection to this result, and knelt down to thank him, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Tang Xi, who was watching from the side, was not in a good mood, punishing Feng for a year was not a punishment in his eyes, but this represented Feng Lie's attitude, it seemed that even if he dispelled Huo Jinyan's hostility to Feng Lie, but Feng Lie was determined to rectify Huo Jinyan, she could understand Feng Lie's thoughts, her secret favoritism over the years made Huo Jinyan dominate the family in the court, of course, this is only because he trusts him, but this is only because he trusts him, but this time he changed Feng Lie, but Feng Lie didn't believe him, so in the face of this overpowered prime minister, he naturally couldn't tolerate it.

And at this time, Tang Xi was not worried about Huo Jinyan, but Feng Lie, as long as she remembered the look when Huo Jinyan said to help her, she shuddered a little, no one knew Huo Jinyan's ability better than her, although Feng Lie was cultivated by her, but in the end she was still young and vigorous, he ...... I can't fight Huo Jinyan.

If Huo Jinyan is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, it is fine, but he does not have the slightest affection for this monarch or this country, plus Tang Xi said that he wants to take revenge on Feng Lie and revenge on Feng Yuan, then Huo Jinyan is likely to be ruthless to Feng Lie......

Thinking of this, she faintly regretted what she said to Huo Jinyan at the time, but she couldn't find any other good excuse for not saying that, which was really nerve-wracking, and now she can only use the excuse of "her own revenge to avenge herself" to delay for a while.

After that, you have to find a way to make Huo Jinyan die for yourself, and then find a way to get Huo Jinyan to leave Fengyuan...... It was the perfect ending she could think of.

Visited the emperor, specially received the envoys of the Honglu Temple Qing Yin Lord personally led them to the reception of the envoys of the post house to settle down, because the great dry is a vassal of Fengyuan, so there are a lot of contacts with the Fengyuan country, the emperor ordered someone to build this post house exclusive to the great Qian, not much extravagant and luxurious, but also quite chic.

In fact, it stands to reason that when the prince and princess visit, they should arrange another place to live, after all, the post house is generally only for receiving envoys, and the specifications used by the prince and princess are still a little worse, but at this time, Feng Lie deliberately ignored this point, and directly arranged them here, which is a bit of a slap in the face, especially in addition to Tang Xi, the three princes still came to congratulate Feng Lie on his birthday.

So at this time, Yan Ning's face was dark, and he held his breath in his heart but it was not easy to spill out, until Feng Yuan's people were gone, he swept the table angrily, threw all the tea sets on the ground, and then said angrily, "Feng Yuan is too deceitful!" ”

Tang Xi sat next to him with an indifferent face, "What is the third brother's anger, the left and right are just a dismount, this is Feng Lie's first birthday after ascending the throne, all countries have to send people here, if he has been placing us here, it will be his own face, so if nothing else, it will take less than two days to change places for us to live." ”

Yan Ning's face was still angry, although she felt justified after listening to Tang Xi's words, her indifferent appearance was really eye-catching, plus Liang Zi before, so he didn't appreciate it at all, and sneered at her, "You returned to the royal family halfway, naturally you don't understand anything, this is a matter of the dignity of the Daqian royal family, shouldn't I be angry?" ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, what he said was right, because he really didn't have any sense of belonging to Daqian, so he didn't feel at all about Feng Lie's slightly naïve dismount, and after thinking about it, she said, "Instead of being angry here, it's not that you want to think about why the emperor is like this, it stands to reason that our Daqian is a vassal of Fengyuan, how can we be courteous, and now we behave like this...... I'm afraid you're dissatisfied with some of my big guys, right? ”

She mainly said this to Qingshuang, do you say that this big guy wants to do things so obviously? Feng Lie was already wary of them, and sent her to confuse you, as long as she wasn't stupid, she wouldn't be easily fooled, right?

Thinking about her, she said earnestly, "The third brother can persuade the emperor when he goes back then, and the etiquette on the surface must still be done well, especially in terms of tribute...... It's too obvious, I'm not a good person here. ”

Yan Ning scoffed at her words, "How important do you think you are to your father?" Since my father threw you here, he won't care about your life or death! ”

Tang Xi looked away speechlessly, and then glanced at Qingshuang, at this time she was thinking thoughtfully, thinking that she had already listened to what she had just said, she was not ready to say anything more to Yan Ning, stretched her waist and said, "I'll go back and rest first, there is a banquet at night to catch the wind and wash the dust, I have to sleep enough." ”

If she said it directly, it was because Qingshuang had always been a little wary of her, if she said it directly, she might have suspected that she had ulterior motives, and she might not be willing to be this microphone, but she took the opportunity to talk to Yan Ning and say a few words, so that she could listen better.

She didn't really plan for Daqian's words, but Feng Lie, who was doing it now, was too wary of her, she wouldn't have a good life in Fengyuan, and everything was just for herself in the final analysis.

I slept in the afternoon, woke up energetically in the evening, looked at the hour, and hurriedly got up to let Qingshuang dress herself, and when she was busy, Bai Lu hurriedly entered the house, "Princess, I just heard a news." ”

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "What news made you panic like this?" Isn't it that Feng Lie has already made a queen? ”

"It's pretty much there!" Bai Lu said anxiously, "I heard that the emperor brought back a woman from his tour half a month ago, and this is the first time he has favored a woman since he succeeded to the throne...... And it is said that she is very pampered, a folk girl, in less than half a month, has been promoted to the concubine position, and others want to offer beauties again but he refuses them one by one, so to speak...... All the emperor's favor is only for this one person! ”

Tang Xi looked up in surprise, she was really surprised to hear the news, when she was still the emperor in the past, he refused to persuade Feng Lie to marry a wife, and he never spoiled any woman on weekdays, she once felt that he had some hidden disease, and secretly poked and poked the imperial doctor to show him...... Of course, the result is that he is not sick, but he has always stubbornly not been interested in a woman, and now he suddenly opened his mind?

To be honest, Tang Xi's heart was overjoyed when he heard the news, but he still had to pretend to be worried on his face, frowning slightly, "How can this be?" Didn't you say before that there was no woman in his palace? Who is this woman sacred? ”

Bai Lu shook her head, "I don't know about this, I can only hear so much, but since it is a palace banquet today, I think that Concubine Lan will also attend, and the princess can pay more attention to it at that time." ”

Tang Xi nodded solemnly, "I know, it seems that this matter will not be smooth sailing...... I'm afraid this Lan Concubine will be the biggest stumbling block. ”

And her heart at the moment is: Oops, oops! My brother has finally gotten his senses! Where is my brother and daughter-in-law? Show me!
