Tang Xi's steps froze, and he looked back at him curtly, "Huh? Is there anything else Your Majesty is up to? ”

Feng Lie looked at her with a smile, "It should be something wrong with you, right?" I don't think you're going to be courteous, say, what's the matter? ”

Belch...... Is it so obvious? Tang Xi pursed his lips, he had already said that he didn't need to go anymore, so he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, it's nothing...... It's just that I'm very bored in the palace, and I want to say if the emperor wants to go out of the palace with me? ”

"Out of the palace?" Feng Lie frowned slightly, he didn't expect Tang Xi to want him to accompany her out of the palace, "I don't see you running out on weekdays, why did you think of pulling me with me this time?" ”

"It's nothing, I just heard that there is a new restaurant that tastes good, and it's not interesting for me to eat alone, so I asked the emperor to join me, but I don't know if the emperor is willing to reward this face?"

Feng Lie looked at her for a long time, and finally a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face, "Then let's go." ”

Tang Xi naturally couldn't take people directly to Chunhelou, but took him to a newly opened restaurant, after the two asked for a private room, they sat inside and ordered some wine and food, and then Tang Xi chatted with Feng Lie without words, "Your Majesty, you see that the tree outside is so big, it must be many years old, right?" ”

Feng Lie glanced at the willow tree outside the window and smiled faintly, "Yes, it's about fifty or sixty years old, but in recent years, somehow, the degree of lush branches and leaves is far less than before, and it looks like it's going to die." ”

"Ah...... That's a shame. Tang Xi said regretfully, "Look at it like this, maybe it's hollowed out by insects and ants, there are some things, the appearance looks glamorous, standing there for decades, but it's hard to say that the inside has long been rotten and unrecognizable." ”

Feng Lie raised his eyebrows and cast a meaningful glance at Tang Xi, "There seems to be some deep meaning in what you say." ”

Tang Xi smiled, "What's the meaning?" It's just a feeling of looking at the scenery in front of you. ”

The two casually said a few other words, and suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the private room next door, and a man with a rough voice said, "If you want me to say, this Lord Zheng's death is really unclear, they all said that they have done too many bad things in the past two years, and they were killed by the enemy, but if you want me to say, most of them are still killed by people, you think about it, he is a Dali temple, where does he have such a great ability to embezzle so much money and never be discovered?" If you want me to see, there must be a more powerful character behind this, and he is definitely being pushed out as a scapegoat! ”

Tang Xi's eyes moved, he looked at Feng Lie, and a smile appeared on his face, "I didn't expect Feng Yuan to have a lot of talents, and he could meet a person with unique insights into political affairs in the market." ”

Feng Lie pursed his lips with an inexplicable smile on his face, "I thought I shouldn't have such good luck. ”

Tang Xi smiled noncommittally at Feng Lie's words, she didn't think that Feng Lie would not suspect her at all, she just had to make it not so obvious and let people catch the handle, and the rest was just this kind of plausible feeling, so that Feng Lie could be more attentive to Daqian.

The conversation over there continued, and after the man had said that, the rest of the people responded one after another, and then several people were guessing who was standing behind them, and there were different opinions, but for a while none of them were reliable.

Suddenly, a slightly lowered voice said, "If you want me to see, the most likely is An Yuanhou, he and Lord Zheng don't seem to have much friendship on weekdays, but in fact, I accidentally saw a secret meeting between the two in a restaurant, most of them have some secrets!" ”

"Huh? Really? No way? An Yuanhou is such an upright person, how could he do such a thing? ”

"Many people don't seem to have any problems on the surface, but who knows how dark and dirty their hearts are?"

"That's right, I've also heard that although An Yuanhou has always been very low-key, once when a friend went to his house as a guest, he accidentally found that An Yuanhou's bedroom was quite luxurious, maybe it was more luxurious than some palaces in the palace!"

"Where did you get all the news? I'm going to believe what I say......"

Feng Lie glanced at Tang Xi, "So you were waiting for me here?" ”

Tang Xi looked innocent, "What did the emperor say?" Why can't I understand? I just asked you to accompany me out for a meal, as for what happened just now, it was just an accident, the emperor just listened to the remarks of these small people in the market, you don't have to take it seriously, right? ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Er came over with the dishes, and Tang Xi grinned, "Come on, come on, the dishes are up, let's have a good meal!" ”

Tang Xi raised his hand and put a piece of pork ribs in the bowl for Feng Lie, Feng Lie stared down at the ribs for a long time, and then said lightly, "I really can't see through you more and more, what is your purpose?" ”

Tang Xi wanted to say, of course, the purpose is to marry you, but thinking about the previous events, she felt that she couldn't flirt casually at this time, so she only said with a serious face, "What purpose can I have as a princess?" It's not a heroine like Emperor Fengxi, my only thought is to make myself happy, that's all. ”

Hearing Tang Xi mention Feng Xi, Feng Lie's eyes sank, but he didn't turn his face, only said lightly, "I thought that you had a good relationship with Lu Zheng, but I didn't expect that you would choose to stab his father in the back...... Moreover, I don't know how An Yuanhou offended you? Since you dare to say this in front of me, you must have investigated it very clearly, right? Or, Marquis An Yuan was wronged, you just set up a trap and waited for me to step on it? ”

Tang Xi still looked innocent, "I really don't understand what you're talking about." ”

Regarding Tang Xi's pretending to be stupid, Feng Lie just snorted coldly and continued, "I originally thought that you had bad intentions towards Feng Yuan, but after a few times, I vaguely felt that you were helping me, but I don't know if this is just your disguise or if you have any troubles?" ”

This time, Tang Xi pretended to be lazy, just winked at Feng Lie and didn't speak.

Feng Lie stared at her for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "I think that if I want to find this answer, maybe I just need to marry you as you wish, what do you say?" ”

"......" The cold hairs on Tang Xi's body stood up when she heard this, but she reacted quickly and controlled her expression, and she didn't know if Feng Lie saw that something was wrong, she blinked, "But...... The emperor just rejected Princess Sanssouci in the morning, marrying me at this time is too bad for Beiyang, right? What's more, the envoys are still here, if you really have to do it, then you have to be careful that Beiyang is angry. ”

Feng Lie narrowed his eyes, "That's right, so...... Then I'll talk about it in two days. ”

...... "So you little bunny still want to marry me?" Tang Xi felt that her hands were a little itchy, and she wanted to pinch his ears and reprimand him like before, but thinking about her identity now, if she dared to be so presumptuous, I am afraid that she would not be able to see the sun tomorrow, so in the end, she could only say with a smile, "Hehe, the emperor is wise." ”

Feng Lie looked at her expression, there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, and even his mood seemed to be much better, glancing at the table full of food, Feng Lie said lightly, "Your goal has been achieved, I won't accompany you to eat this meal, you eat more yourself, I invite you to this meal." ”

With that, he put a gold ingot on the table, and then turned and left the private room.

Tang Xi didn't chase her out, just sat alone in the private room and was stunned for a while, although Feng Lie's words just now had the element of testing her, but she believed that Feng Lie really had the idea of marrying her.

Her eyes looked out the window, Huo Jinyan, what's wrong with you? If you don't come back, she won't be able to play on her side.

The next thing was all in Tang Xi's expectations, after reminding Feng Lie of An Yuanhou, Feng Lie checked along this line, and sure enough, he found a lot of things that he didn't know before, and at the right time, the human and physical evidence were also sent over, and An Yuanhou was taken down immediately.

As soon as An Yuanhou was arrested, many of the things he had done before were naturally exposed little by little, and Feng Lie was angry and stabbed him a capital crime, but in the end it did not affect his family.

As soon as there was an accident on An Yuanhou's side, someone immediately sent a message to Lu Zheng, who was at the border, and Lu Zheng immediately put down what he was doing and rushed back, so that he could still have time to see An Yuanhou for the last time.

Seeing that all this was a foregone conclusion, Tang Xi went to Fu Jinglan, "It's time for you to fulfill your promise." ”

Of course, Fu Jinglan's side had already heard that An Yuanhou was sentenced to death, and she was naturally happy in her heart, and when she saw Tang Xi coming to ask, she naturally didn't hide it at the moment, "Okay, let me tell you, Daqian has also installed a person in the palace, this person has been lurking for many years, and he will not act easily unless he has to, he is ......" Her eyes looked directly at Tang Xi, and she spit out two words lightly, "Li Sheng." ”

Tang Xi's pupils shrank suddenly, "What did you say?" ”

Fu Jinglan pursed her lips, "I'm surprised, right?" But I didn't lie to you, this person is Li Sheng, he was sent to the palace many years ago, and later he became the great eunuch of the first emperor with his ability, and later became the great eunuch next to the emperor now, and what I said before was that he stole a eunuch from the palace, and it was only through his help that it was so smooth. ”

"I didn't rush to tell you about this before, just because I found out that this person is you, I don't think you will be a person at the mercy, so I want to keep a back hand for myself, but I didn't expect that in the end, you will help me avenge my blood revenge with this matter."

Tang Xi was very shocked in her heart, she had always trusted Li Sheng before, but she didn't expect that he had been inserted into the palace as a nail by Daqian so many years ago! She suddenly remembered that day in the peach forest, she and Huo Jinyan were hiding behind the rockery, she accidentally made a little noise, and finally Li Sheng led Feng Lie elsewhere, she thought it was just an accident, but she didn't want Li Sheng to find her at all, so he deliberately let her go!

"I know," Tang Xi lowered his eyes, "I'm fairly satisfied with this answer, and we'll be clear." ”

"Wait." Fu Jinglan raised her eyebrows, "Although this matter is clear, for the sake of my task, I am still willing to help you create an opportunity for Feng Lie to agree to marry you." ”

"......" Tang Xi was speechless for a while before he replied lightly, "No need for the time being, the emperor just rejected Li Linglong clearly, no matter what I do at this time, Feng Lie will not marry me immediately, so let's wait for the turmoil in this matter to subside before making plans." ”

Fu Jinglan felt that what Tang Xi said made sense, so she nodded and didn't speak again.

After Tang Xi returned to his residence, he sat quietly alone for a long time, and finally felt that Li Sheng could not stay.

It's too dangerous to put him next to Feng Lie! But how to let Feng Lie replace him unconsciously is a big problem, because of Feng Xi, she can see that Feng Lie still has some feelings for Li Sheng, unless it is a big event, it is impossible for him to replace him easily.

And with Tang Xi's current position, no one can know that she is making a mistake, especially Fu Jinglan's side, as soon as she told her the secret, Li Sheng had an accident, she will easily associate all this with her, and then notify the emperor of Daqian, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat and walk around.

She rubbed her eyebrows with a little headache, now she should have reminded Feng Lie enough, he must have begun to pay attention to Da Qian's movements, she doesn't have to worry about this for the time being, and finally pull out the potential trouble of Li Sheng, she can retire.

When the time comes, she will find a way to find Huo Jinyan, she has already figured it out, instead of staying here and worrying about Feng Lie, just to ask for an extra year of life, it is better to use the rest of the time to help Huo Jinyan.

At this time, the people sent to the South Vietnamese side finally sent back the news.

When Tang Xi left the palace, Ying Yi told her that Shangguan Yu was looking for her, and she knew that there should be news from Nanyue, and she didn't dare to let Ying Yi be the microphone for this matter, so she immediately went to Chunhe Tower.

This time, there was no need to see Shangguan Yu in person, so Tang Xi just had a meal there with peace of mind, and the shopkeeper found an opportunity to hand the note to her, she held the note in her hand, and felt that she couldn't wait for a moment, so she didn't delay any longer, and immediately put down her chopsticks and said to Qingshuang, "Don't eat, let's go back to the palace." ”

Qingshuang glanced at the meal she had only eaten a little, and doubts flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything after all, she could see that Tang Xi had not been in a good mood in the past few days, so she only thought that she was in a fluctuating mood and did not delve into it.

Tang Xi sat in the carriage and immediately opened the note to read it, but the more she looked at it, the more her face became heavier, until after reading all the contents, her face was completely full of worry.

The spies sent to South Vietnam said that there was indeed turmoil in South Vietnam recently, first a group of assassins entered the palace to assassinate the emperor, and after the failure to escape, the whole city was under martial law, and everyone who came and went was strictly investigated, and it can be seen that the emperor of South Vietnam attached great importance to this matter, but the investigation was unsuccessful for more than ten days.

At this time, a group suddenly rebelled in northern South Vietnam! Moreover, the young man who was established as the king by the other party, claiming to be Ji Yuncheng, the eighth prince of the first emperor, held the holy decree of the first emperor in his hand, which was the edict of the first emperor back then, and the book was passed on to the three princes at that time...... This proves how unjustifiable the current emperor of Nanyue is to come to the throne.

The young man who claimed to be the eighth prince was menacing with soldiers like a god, and captured several cities in less than a few days, and because of the current emperor Ji Yuntian's loyalty and treacherous behavior, many people dared to be angry and dare not speak, and Ji Yuncheng was even more under the banner of justice, so there were gradually more people who took refuge in it, and the scale gradually expanded, and now it has occupied a quarter of the territory of South Vietnam, and the momentum is unabated, I am afraid that it is a matter of time before South Vietnam changes.

The time was such a coincidence, Tang Xi was even more suspicious that this Ji Yuncheng was Huo Jinyan! Thinking about it like this, she became even more uneasy, although the news brought back by the spies seemed to have a good momentum on Ji Yuncheng's side, but Tang Xi understood that Ji Yuntian had been on the throne for more than twenty years, how could it be so easy to deal with? At the beginning, he was able to achieve such success, just because he caught Ji Yuntian off guard, and now he occupies a relatively remote position in Kyoto, and the closer he gets to Kyoto, the more difficult it will be.

She bit her lip and suddenly said, "Stop!" ”

The carriage quickly stopped, she lifted the curtain and got out of the car, Qingshuang said uncertainly, "What's the matter, princess?" ”

Tang Xi looked at the shop selling pastries in the distance, and said lightly, "I want to eat that." ”

Qingshuang glanced at it and immediately said, "Slave maid go buy it." ”

After Qingshuang left, Tang Xi glanced up at the sky, and then called in a low voice, "Come out!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and got into the carriage, and after a while, Keichi got into the carriage through the window of the carriage, "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Xi glanced at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, is Huo Jinyan Ji Yuncheng or not?" ”

Eichi frowned, pursed his lips and said, "I can't tell you the identity of my master." ”

Tang Xi looked at him, his eyes deepened, "You say this, that is, you admit it?" He really is Ji Yuncheng! ”

Kageichi was a little at a loss, and replied dryly, "I'...... I didn't admit it, princess, just spare me, I really can't tell you about your master! ”

Tang Xi lowered his eyes, "I know." Ying Yi's reaction has explained everything, she guessed eight or nine is not far from ten, even if it is not Ji Yuncheng himself, it must be related to Ji Yuncheng.

She took a deep breath and looked at Keichi, "So, he suddenly went back, is it related to me?" ”

Shadow was expressionless, "I don't know. ”

Tang Xi narrowed his eyes, "What did Ying Er find?" ”

"I don't know."

Tang Xi looked at this Ying Yi, who was not in the oil and salt, and held his breath in his heart, and finally could only wave his hand weakly, "Quickly disappear from my eyes!" ”

Keichi probably didn't think he was welcome at this moment, so he didn't say anything, got up and prepared to leave.

However, Tang Xi grabbed him again, "Wait, help me pass the word to your master, tell him that Feng Lie wants to marry me, and if he doesn't come back, I will marry." ”

“！！！” Keichi's eyes widened, "Seriously? ”

Tang Xi glanced at him, raised the corners of his mouth with a slight mockery, and said word by word, "I don't know." ”

"......" is so eye-catching! Ying Yi left angrily, even though he didn't know whether Tang Xi's words were true or false, but he knew Tang Xi's status in the master's heart, so Ying Yi didn't dare to hide this matter, and immediately sent someone to send the news to South Vietnam.

As soon as the shadow left, Tang Xi exhaled lightly, the stone in his heart became heavier and heavier, Huo Jinyan had helped her so much in the past, and now that she chose revenge, it was very likely that it had something to do with her, at this time, she couldn't leave him alone anyway, so it seemed that she really had to help him.

But how to solve Li Sheng's matter? The things in the palace are not as good as those outside the palace, even if they are returning from the pavilion, it is difficult to find out anything, not to mention listening to Fu Jinglan's meaning, Li Sheng is quite cautious, and it is really difficult to catch the handle, so it is completely unfeasible to find out the truth of the matter and secretly hand the evidence to Feng Lie.

And directly told Feng Lie as the princess of Daqian, it was impossible for Feng Lie to believe her and tell her about his spies? Who believes!

Then there is only one feasible way left, find a way to let Li Sheng help her do things, and then let Feng Lie himself realize that Li Sheng has a problem.

She pursed her lips, calculating the days, it would take more than a month to come back from South Vietnam, and it would take down Li Sheng in more than a month, although the time was a little tight, but it was not impossible.

In order not to let Fu Jinglan notice anything unusual, she didn't contact Li Sheng for the next few days, she was not in a hurry, as long as she won with one blow.

At this time, Huo Jinyan, who was far away in South Vietnam, was studying the layout of the war with the soldiers, and Ying Er walked in and handed over a letter, "Master, Ying Yi handed it over and said that it was very important. ”

Huo Jinyan's eyes sank, what could make Ying Yi say that it was very important, it must be something related to Tang Xi, could it be that she encountered any danger? Thinking about it, he immediately put down what he was doing and walked out of the tent with the letter.

He didn't want anyone to know about Tang Xi's affairs, so he didn't open the envelope until he walked back to his tent.

There is not much content, first talked about some of Tang Xi's recent actions, Huo Jinyan frowned slightly when he saw Tang Xi knocking down An Yuanhou, he understood Tang Xi, if it was not necessary, she would not want to go to this troubled water, let alone leave no room for it, and directly let An Yuanhou be sentenced to death, and now that she has done this, there must be some reason to do so, but she should not feel good in her heart.

Then, Ying Yi said the questions that Tang Xi asked him, and he was not too surprised to see that Tang Xi guessed his identity, Tang Xi was already extremely smart, and it was completely normal to find it with clues, not to mention that she also had a return pavilion to help her do things.

It's just that he thought that he could hide it from day to day, otherwise she would be worried about it, but she didn't expect it to be exposed so soon.

Then next, he saw the last sentence, Tang Xi asked Ying Yi to tell him that Feng Lie had already had the idea of marrying her......
