Looking at Lu Zheng standing in front of him, Tang Xi was dumbfounded for a while.

Tang Xi subconsciously looked away, pursed his lips tightly but couldn't say a word.

At the beginning, he deceived Lu Zheng and made him think that he was dead, but now he has to return to Fengyuan again, Lu Zheng is not stupid, he must have guessed that she directed and acted in that good play at the beginning.

Yan Ning in the carriage saw that Tang Xi hadn't moved for a long time, and couldn't help but open the curtain curiously, "What's wrong?" He glanced at Tang Xi and then at Lu Zheng, "Who are you?" ”

Lu Zheng's eyes always looked at Tang Xi, expecting her to say something, but to his disappointment, she never spoke, without an explanation or an apology, and after a while, he pulled the corners of his mouth, "I recognized the wrong person, disturbed, and said goodbye." ”

Tang Xi looked at Lu Zheng who turned to leave, and subconsciously opened her mouth, but thinking that she was still on the road at this time, and Yan Ning was still beside her, she couldn't say anything to Lu Zheng, so she finally watched Lu Zheng go away.

In fact, when she came back to Feng Yuan, she had been thinking about how to explain to Lu Zheng, she knew that it would probably be difficult for him to forgive her for what she did, so she had never thought about what kind of posture she wanted to appear in front of him, until today he suddenly appeared in front of her, and she didn't know how to deal with it, and finally she could only watch him leave sadly.

Tang Xi pursed his lips, sat back in the carriage, and said lightly to the coachman, "Let's go." ”

Anyway, she won't leave the capital, and there will always be a chance to find Lu Zheng to explain clearly.

But she didn't expect that there would be no way to explain this one miss.

Early the next morning, as soon as she got up, she heard Qingshuang say that the people from Beiyang would come to the capital today, Tang Xi calculated the days, there were eight days left before Feng Lie's birthday, after thinking about it, she turned her head and asked, "Are you ready for my congratulatory gift to the emperor?" ”

Qingshuang was slightly stunned, then shook her head and said, "The princess and Daqian are one, so the congratulatory gifts are counted together, and the princess has not prepared a congratulatory gift to the emperor separately." ”

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows slightly dissatisfied when he heard this, "If you want to capture the emperor, you can't give up this little thing?" If there is no outstanding gift, how can the emperor remember me? ”

Qingshuang also felt justified when she heard this, so she hurriedly said, "Then I'll ask someone to prepare." ”

Tang Xi waved his hand, "No need, since there is no preparation, then I will prepare it myself, and I always have to choose something special." ”

Tang Xi squinted her eyes and thought in her heart what gift Feng Lie hated to receive the most, and it couldn't be seen at a glance that it was deliberate, this thing was not a good choice for others, but she was the one who knew Feng Lie best, so she just used her brain, and immediately thought about it.

I still remember that on Feng Lie's sixth birthday, he gave it a little white cat, but his father felt that he was discouraged, and ordered the kitten to be killed within a few days, and the corpse was thrown under a pear tree.

Since then, he has hated pear blossoms from the bottom of his heart, but under the strict requirements of his father, he never dared to be willful, so he never said anything, but he never planted a pear tree in his palace.

Later, she slowly realized this, so she ordered all the pear trees in the palace to be cut down, and since then there has not been a single pear tree in the palace, so that except for so many people, no one will know about Feng Lie's dislike of pear blossoms.

She hooked the corners of her lips and said to Qingshuang, "I was idle yesterday and seemed to see a pear blossom blooming in the garden?" ”

Qingshuang nodded, "That's right, six or seven pear trees, the flowers are blooming brilliantly at this time." ”

"Really...... Then I will personally draw a picture of pear blossoms and send it to the emperor, and the painting by myself will show sincerity. ”

Qingshuang did not doubt him, and echoed, "It is indeed more meaningful to draw it yourself, what good things have the emperor not seen?" The painting she painted herself was fresher and more refined, but ......," she hesitated, "how did the princess draw it?" ”

Tang Xi stretched, "Reluctantly, let's go." ”

In fact, Tang Xi's painting is very good, but it's a pity that if he paints according to his original technique, Feng Lie will definitely be able to recognize it at a glance, so he has to change his technique, and I'm afraid it won't be much better if he paints it like this.

Thinking about it, she tilted her head again and said, "In this way, you go and recruit someone who can draw to teach me, there are still eight days before the emperor's birthday, and it is a little bit to be able to learn a little." ”

"......" Qingshuang was speechless, and only after a while did she cautiously propose, "Why don't you ...... Princess for the same? Is there anything else you're good at? "Otherwise, if this painting is really too bad, I am afraid it will be a shame."

But Tang Xi shook his head and said, "No, painting is already my best, don't worry, I can draw, I just want to be as good as possible before I want to learn again." ”

Qingshuang wanted to persuade again, but after thinking about Tang Xi's temper, he didn't dare to speak again, so he answered and went down to recruit painters.

Tang Xi felt a little bored after sitting in the courtyard for a while, so he said to Bai Lu, "Beiyang's team is almost here, right?" Let's go out and see how about it? ”

Bai Lu thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, but don't run around, the princess doesn't run around, this capital is now mixed, and it is really dangerous." ”

So Tang Xi changed into a light dress and went out of the door with Bai Lu.

The place where they live is a very lively place in the capital, and walking through a street is the main road of the capital, so the two of them did not take a carriage, and walked directly to the main road, at this time the main road is guarded by officers and soldiers, if you only stand on the side of the road, you really can't see anything.

So Tang Xi pulled Bai Lu into the restaurant on the side of the road, but unfortunately the restaurant was also full at this time, Tang Xi didn't find a vacant seat for half a day after entering, and when he regretted wanting to leave, the shopkeeper suddenly stepped forward and said, "This girl, a private room has just been vacated upstairs, the window is facing the main road, the view is excellent, it's a little more expensive, but I don't think you look like you're poor, so I came up and asked you, do you want to charter?" ”

Of course, Tang Xi immediately responded and happily pulled Bai Lu upstairs, but as soon as he entered the private room, the smile on Tang Xi's face froze.

Huo Jinyan glanced at Tang Xi and said to the little er, "Go down." ”

Tang Xi glanced at Huo Jinyan and turned around to walk out, but Ying Yi and Ying Er stood directly at the door and stopped her.

Bai Lu's face suddenly sank, "What do you mean by this?" Prime Minister, don't you want to put my princess under house arrest? ”

Ying Er smiled, "Not only will I have to put your princess under house arrest, but I will also stun you!" After saying that, Bai Lu immediately fainted with a hand knife, and then Ying Er picked up Bai Lu with one hand and turned around and walked out of the private room.

And Ying Yi continued to guard the door dutifully, Tang Xi saw this, pursed his lips, and sat down opposite Huo Jinyan in resignation, and then said angrily, "Shouldn't the Prime Minister be in charge of everything?" Why did you come to embarrass me as a weak woman? ”

Tang Xi slandered in his heart, this damn Huo Jinyan seems to be waiting for himself here on purpose, since he was touched into the room last time, she specially instructed Qingshuang to strengthen her vigilance, and now even Huo Jinyan can't sneak into Tang Xi's room unnoticed, but I didn't expect him to come directly if he couldn't get in, it's really infuriating!

Huo Jinyan didn't answer, but said lightly, "Ying Yi said, you have become a lot more beautiful." ”

Tang Xi froze for a moment, and then tucked the hair on his ears casually, "Really?" I think so too, Eichi is very discerning! ”

Huo Jinyan was not fooled by her, squinted his eyes and said, "Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a person to change so much in just a few months, what happened to you?" ”

"What can it be? I used to be a fire girl, I couldn't eat enough and didn't have enough clothes, isn't it normal to be stunted? But after becoming a princess, the food and clothing are the best, and the cultivation is naturally beautiful. ”

Huo Jinyan stared at her for a long time, and suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, "What kind of food has such a good effect, and such a big scar can be so faint that it can't be seen in such a short time?" ”

Tang Xi's face changed, and then he immediately struggled and said, "Hey, you let me go!" It hurts! ”

Huo Jinyan was not deceived by her weakness this time, and still grabbed her wrist tightly, "Then tell me, what happened to you?" ”

Tang Xi struggled to no avail, but fortunately let him hold it, "What can happen?" It's just that the emperor of Daqian gave me some home remedies for beauty and beauty, and if I want to marry Fengyuan, I must at least clean up more beautifully, right? ”

Huo Jinyan frowned, "It's just a medicine for beauty?" ”

Tang Xi nodded, "Naturally, otherwise what else could it be?" Please, I'm the only daughter left by Emperor Daqian's wife, who doesn't know that Emperor Daqian has a good relationship with the former empress, her only wish before she died is to find me, otherwise he wouldn't have looked for me for so many years and didn't give up, and now that I've finally found it, are you still worried that he won't kill me? If I hadn't proposed it myself, he might have been reluctant to send me to Fengyuan. ”

Huo Jinyan stared at her tightly, and her face was natural, not showing any flaws, so he finally let go slowly, Tang Xi immediately took his wrist back, and did not forget to condemn him, "Look at you, let you not use so much force, right?" My hands are red! ”

Tang Xi snorted for a long time and saw that Huo Jinyan didn't react, so she secretly raised her eyes to look at him, but she didn't want to meet his gaze, she immediately looked away, coughed lightly, and said, "You just asked me this today?" Now that I've asked, can I go? ”

Huo Jinyan looked away from the window, "The people from Beiyang are about to arrive, aren't you curious?" When I heard that Beiyang came this time, I also brought the princess here. ”

Tang Xi immediately frowned when he heard this, "What? What did they bring the princess over? ”

"Naturally, I have the same mind as you."

Tang Xi choked, then rolled his eyes angrily and said, "What am I thinking?" Am I for the country and the people? If you can save the people of Li from fire and water, if you really have to ask me to marry Feng Lie...... It's not impossible. ”

When Huo Jinyan heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but then he was well suppressed, looked at Tang Xi and said, "If you choose me, I also have the ability to stop all this for you." ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, "Now that you are a thorn in Feng Lie's side, it is difficult to protect yourself, why bother talking big words, besides, you pushed me to Lu Zheng in the first place, don't you think it's too late to say these things now?" If you insist on keeping me because you know that I am Fengxi, I don't think you have to, now that I have changed my identity and body, I am no longer the original me, since you didn't like me when you didn't know who I was, it means that you like the past me instead of the new me, so you tell me again to let me choose you, don't you think it's very unfair? ”

Huo Jin stopped talking, and finally didn't say that she liked Tang Xi at the beginning, after all, if she said it at this time, no matter how she looked like she was quibbling, she wouldn't believe it.

So he only said, "I told you at the beginning, I am not Huo Jinyan, and I also have my own identity." ”

Tang Xi was slightly stunned, could it be that his identity was anything special?

Huo Jinyan seemed to see her doubts, pursed her lips and said, "My identity is a little special...... There's no benefit to knowing too much, just if you need to...... I can settle the dispute between Da Qian and Feng Yuan. ”

Tang Xi looked at Huo Jinyan's expression and knew what kind of attitude he had towards his past identity, and since he was chased and killed by the enemy at the beginning, it was conceivable how dangerous it would be if it was exposed, and she was unwilling to let him force himself for his own sake.

That's her ideal ambition, how can she involve others? What's more, even if he can really solve it, the emperor of Daqian is not necessarily willing to give her all the remaining medicine, she has secretly inquired, rouge is the secret medicine of the Daqian royal family, it is extremely difficult to match, and there is no antidote.

In this way, if she is useless, why should he give her the dozens of rouge that he has not won easily? Is it by the love of father and daughter? The moment he fed her rouge, she knew that he had no affection for her.

Therefore, it is better to use the rest of your time to deal with the relationship between Da Qian and Feng Yuan, rather than involving other people.

So after a while, she finally shook her head, "Huo Jinyan, I owe you enough, and I don't want to owe you any more in this life, so I don't want to have anything to do with you anyway, you just think Feng Xi is dead." ”

Huo Jinyan's eyes were dark, he wanted to say something but held back, and after a while, he turned to say, "Lu Zheng left the capital today." ”

Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered Lu Zheng's disgraced expression when he left yesterday, and suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart, "Leave the capital?" Where did he go? ”

"The nomads in the north have had a lot of trouble recently, and Lu Zheng took the initiative to ask for orders yesterday and went to the northern border to suppress bandits."

"But......" she frowned, "is he because of me......"

"Then I'm going to ask you, I heard that he went to look for you yesterday."

"I ...... Didn't say anything. ”

Huo Jinyan was silent for a long time, and then said lightly, "He was very sad after you died. ”

Tang Xi felt very uncomfortable, she thought she still had a lot of time to explain, but she didn't expect Lu Zheng to be so decisive, he went to the north, and he couldn't come back for a year and a half, so ...... I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again in the future.

"I'm sorry......" she muttered.

"It's better for you to explain this matter in person, and when he comes back to the capital in the future, I will let you meet alone." Huo Jinyan looked at Tang Xi's guilt and self-blame, and he still couldn't bear it in his heart after all, so even if he was obviously jealous of Lu Zheng, he was still willing to create opportunities for them to explain the misunderstanding clearly.

Wait for him to come back? It's a pity that she can't wait, she showed a bitter smile on her face, it's just that, after all, she will die in the future, how can Lu Zheng never hate a dead person anymore, right? What she owes to Lu Zheng, let's pay it back to An Yuanhou, Fu Jinglan hates An Yuanhou, and she will definitely attack him in the future, but no matter from the perspective of An Yuanhou's own contribution to Feng Yuan or Lu Zheng's affection for herself, she should ensure that he does not die in the end, but it is just that he will not die.

"Beiyang's team has entered the city." Huo Jinyan's eyes looked out the window.

When Tang Xi heard this, he immediately put away all kinds of chaotic emotions in his heart, walked to the window and looked out.

The Beiyang queue was very long, Tang Xi saw the most beautiful carriage at a glance, the curtain of the carriage was slightly lifted, and then Tang Xi clearly saw the appearance of this Beiyang princess.

Her eyes moved slightly, and she couldn't help but admire, "It's really a beautiful woman with a beautiful country." ”

Huo Jinyan only glanced at it before retracting his gaze, and hooked his lips slightly mockingly, "It's a pity that it's not half similar to you...... Feng Lie wouldn't marry her. ”

Tang Xi stiffened slightly, and then with a hint of anger, "Huo Jinyan, you did it on purpose, right?" Do you want to say something when you know I don't want to hear it? ”

"Huh...... It's just that he likes you, and you're so excited, so you, can you really overcome the psychological barrier to marry him? ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, "It's none of your business, but...... Unless I have to, I naturally won't want to enter the palace. ”

Huo Jinyan looked away and looked out the window, "Today's Fengyuan, although there are no internal worries, but the external troubles are becoming more and more serious, especially today, when a larger country gathers in the capital, there are more people, and it will naturally be chaotic, so you better be careful." ”

"Thank you, no matter how rest assured, I still have such a little ability to protect myself...... As long as the Prime Minister doesn't deliberately cause trouble for me. ”

"As long as you haven't made a choice, I won't really do anything to you."

Tang Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, which meant that once she chose to marry someone else, what would he do to her?

She pursed her lips, "I should go back." ”

"Okay." Huo Jinyan didn't stop him this time.

Then Ying Er sent Bai Lu back, Tang Xi helped Bai Lu downstairs, and then shook her for a long time before she finally woke up, it seems that Ying Er's subordinates are dark enough.

As soon as Bai Lu woke up, he immediately got up, and when he came together, he touched the wound on his neck, and suddenly he felt pain, and then he remembered what happened before when he rubbed his neck.

She suddenly looked at Tang Xi nervously and said, "Princess, are you okay?" They didn't do anything to you, did they? ”

Tang Xi shook his head and said lightly, "He is the prime minister and not a bandit, what can he do to me?" Okay, don't ask, let's go back. ”

After Tang Xi and Bai Lu left, Huo Jinyan sat quietly in the private room alone for a long time, and then called, "Ying Er, you personally take someone to Daqian, and I will give you three months to investigate everything that happened to Tang Xi in Daqian." ”

After a pause, he said, "Also, by the way, check if there is any secret medicine in Daqian that has a miraculous effect and can make the skin more and more delicate...... Including poisons. ”

Ying Er was slightly stunned, and then understood that the master felt that Miss Tang had been poisoned, and during this time, he had already understood the importance of Miss Tang to the master, so he did not hesitate to receive this task, and immediately responded, "Yes, the master can rest assured, his subordinates will do their best to find out the matter." ”

Huo Jinyan nodded, "Emperor Daqian must have erased some of Tang Xi's experience, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult at that time, no matter what method you use, you must try to restore everything." ”

As soon as Tang Xi and Bai Lu returned to their residence, Bai Lu immediately continued to ask Tang Xi about what happened today, Tang Xi was not in a good mood, and simply said, "I have known him before, and he will naturally want to talk to me alone, don't worry, he will not do anything to me, and he will not have any impact on our plans." ”

Bai Lu wanted to ask again, but seeing Tang Xi's impatient face, he suddenly didn't dare to say more.

After getting along with Tang Xi during this time, she found out that she had to get along with her to a certain extent, and she could ask more within her tolerance, but once it passed, her temper was not so good.

Anyway, every time I will ask for a rough idea, and the rest will be better to check it out by myself, it is much better than offending Tang Xi.

The two were silent for a while, but Tang Xi spoke again, "Today, Beiyang's team entered Beijing, and I saw that they brought a princess to their team...... You go and ask what's going on. ”

"Princess?" Bai Lu's face changed, "Could it be that Beiyang is also paying attention to his relatives?" ”

Tang Xi nodded, "Most likely, but with me in front, the emperor will never agree to marry the princess of Beiyang, I'm afraid that Beiyang is not so easy to deal with, so it's better for you to inquire." ”

Bai Lu hurriedly nodded and went out.

Qingshuang was sent by her to find the painter before and didn't come back, but now Bai Lu left again, and it was rare that no one was staring at her, so she thought about it and went out to call a cleaning guy and asked him to find Cheng Nan.

Cheng Nan, as a guard who had just been promoted by her, was not in any danger when she entered the capital on weekdays, and the two maids around her were both good at martial arts, so Tang Xi really didn't want him to follow her when he was fine, and when the two maids were not there, she had a little reason to come over.

Cheng Nan came soon, and when he saw that Tang Xi was alone, he suddenly relaxed a lot, "Why did you suddenly call me over?" Is there something I need to do? ”

Tang Xi shook his head, "I just want to find someone to talk to." After a pause, he continued, "Have you ever gone to Shangguan Yu?" ”

Cheng Nan felt that Tang Xi seemed to be in a mood and wanted to ask a few questions, but she immediately pulled the topic to Shangguan Yu, and he was immediately diverted, "I've been there, I told her that I want to stay by your side to protect you, and she is also very supportive of my decision." ”

"......" Tang Xi was a little speechless, thinking that Shangguan Yu could make Cheng Nan shake a little, but he actually supported it? Hey, hey, your man has to protect another woman now! You're not even angry?

Tang Xi was really tempered by the two of them, and went with them completely, "How is she doing over there?" It's not convenient for me to go over, and I still want you to take care of her side a little more in the future, and if I need it here, I will also need your help to spread the word. ”
