The breath on Huo Jinyan's body turned cold in an instant, and even Ying Er, who was standing a few steps away from him, instantly felt the coldness on his face, and his heart suddenly trembled, Damn, what did Ying Yi say in the letter? Unexpectedly made the master react so much?

Huo Jinyan stared at the last line of words for a long time, then put the letter away, turned around and strode back to the camp where he had discussed the military situation with everyone before, "According to the tactics mentioned before, I will personally lead the troops to capture Sichuan City tomorrow." ”

Several generals were stunned when they heard this, "Your Highness can't be so anxious!" It should be observed for a few more days! ”

"Yes, besides, it's too dangerous for you to lead the troops yourself, so let me go!"

Huo Jinyan shook his head, "No need, it's settled." "He couldn't wait.

Tang Xi felt that the time was almost up, and finally decided to go, but Li Sheng stayed with Feng Lie on weekdays, and it was really not easy to find him alone, Tang Xi waited for a few days, and finally waited for an opportunity, and this opportunity was sent to her by Feng Lie in person.

Seeing Li Sheng and the little eunuchs rushing in with a bunch of delicacies, Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "Gonggong Li, what is this for?" ”

Li Sheng smiled slightly, "This is sent by His Majesty's servants, Princess Xi is so blessed, she is so favored by Your Majesty, I think there will be happy events soon." ”

Tang Xi glanced at Li Sheng, "Then I have to borrow Gonggong Li's auspicious words, but ...... I still have something I would like to ask, could I take a step forward to talk about it? ”

Li Sheng's eyes moved slightly, glanced at Tang Xi, and then waved his hand to send the little eunuch under his hand out first, and Tang Xi also let Qingshuang Bailu and the others go down first.

There were only two people left in the room, Tang Xi and Li Sheng, Tang Xi bent the corners of his mouth, "Today I want to ask Gonggong Li, I used to help Fu Jinglan bring down Marquis An Yuan, did this matter make the emperor feel different?" And is it ...... Have other actions? ”

Li Sheng glanced at her and smiled meaningfully, "It seems that the princess knows my identity?" ”

Tang Xi smiled lightly, "Gonggong Li's identity is really hidden, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have to worry about many things, right?" ”

Li Sheng shook his head, "The princess doesn't understand, the old slave can stay in Fengyuan's palace for more than ten years, and he has been able to serve the two emperors successively, relying on being cautious, the fewer people know my identity, the better, and I have only done a few things for Daqian in the past ten years, if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself, I am just a eunuch in Fengyuan Palace most of the time, that's all." ”

Tang Xi looked at him, and the past things came to mind, Li Sheng has been by Feng Xi's side for ten years, and he is also extremely dedicated to Feng Xi, Feng Xi naturally has feelings for him, but he didn't expect it...... He turned out to be a spy of the great cadres.

She lowered her eyes, her voice was faint, and she couldn't hear any emotion, "Fool yourself first...... I don't know, every time you do something for Daqian, do you feel guilty of betraying your master? ”

Li Sheng seemed stunned for a moment, probably not expecting Tang Xi to ask such a question, but then he smiled bitterly, "The princess is right, this is the situation that every spy will have...... They often lose themselves in the enemy's kindness, and they feel painful when they betray, but in the end, they still choose to betray, so for the master, this will not cause any effect, painful ...... It's just us. ”

Tang Xi stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the window for a long time, and then said lightly, "You should answer my question." ”

"The emperor is very suspicious, although I am the big eunuch next to him, but he will not tell many things in front of me, he trusts the most is the secret guard who grew up with him since he was a child, many things are secretly ordered by him, I can't know."

Tang Xi frowned, "In other words...... It is very likely that Feng Lie has already become suspicious of Da Qian? ”

Li Sheng shook his head, "I can't know about this kind of thing, but I can see one thing clearly...... Princess Xi has done a very successful job, you have really entered the emperor's heart, and not as a substitute, the master chose you, but he really chose the right person. ”

Tang Xi let out a faint "um", and then said, "But Feng Lie is a person who can't easily see his heart, I think he should just think I'm special now, and want to explore, even if he has the idea of marrying me, he will have to be awkward for a long time...... And I don't want to wait for him to see the knot on his own. ”

Li Sheng frowned slightly, "What does the princess mean?" ”

"The afternoon after tomorrow, find a way to take Feng Lie to the lotus pond."

"Please make it clearer, princess."

"The day after tomorrow, I'm going to have someone assassinate me, and then I'm seriously injured, so Feng Lie bumps into me...... When the time comes, I don't believe it, and his heart still can't soften when he sees me dying. ”

Li Sheng hesitated a little, "Is the princess sure?" ”

"Naturally, there is, don't worry, with the guards in the palace, when I am injured, people should rush over."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Sheng felt that this matter was feasible, so he nodded, "The princess who made the assassination must be ready, don't let the emperor find any clues." ”

Tang Xi nodded, suddenly stepped forward and shook his hand, looking at him with a little sadness in his eyes, and disappeared in a flash, "Gonggong Li, then the emperor will ask you." ”

Li Sheng was stunned, and for a moment he seemed to see the appearance of Feng Xi holding his hand to get rid of him in the past, his eyes darkened, and then he came back to his senses, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, princess, I will naturally handle this little thing." ”

Li Sheng walked for a long time, and Tang Xi was still standing in place, with sadness in his eyes, but more ruthless.

Just now, she suddenly had another idea, rather than going to great lengths to let Feng Lie discover Li Sheng's true face, it would be better to ...... Kill directly.

It's just that if she wants to enter the palace to kill people, there must be no return, so she can't use the people who have returned to the pavilion, but is going to use the group of dead soldiers who are going to use Daqian, so she must have a reason, so she will pretend to use bitter meat tricks in order to win Feng Lie's heart, so that even if Li Sheng dies this time, no one will doubt her motives.

"Qingshuang, let's go out of the palace."

Although Li Linglong was hit last time, she was really stubborn, and she stayed in the palace to hold on, but it just gave Tang Xi a chance, and this assassination, she was ready to push it on Li Linglong's body.

So she first went to Chunhelou and asked Shangguan Yu to send someone to pay attention to Li Linglong's movements, to see if there was a chance to bring the assassins into the palace with her manpower in the past two days, and then asked Qingshuang to take her to the foothold of the group of dead soldiers in Daqian.

She needed ten people for this mission, and after the team leader selected ten people, she told these people about the task, and at the end she added, "When the time comes, take advantage of the chaos and kill the great eunuch Li Sheng next to the emperor." ”

That's how good the dead soldiers are, they only listen to orders and never ask more, so Tang Xi doesn't need to explain anything to them at all, and he ...... afterwards The fate of these people will only be suicide on the spot.

Thinking of this, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but as an empress, she had killed not 10,000 but 8,000 people, what kind of mercy at this time was too ridiculous, her time was running out, and she did not hesitate to sacrifice some people in order to achieve her goal.

Soon, Shangguan Yu also had news that she had bribed a female official in Li Linglong's palace, and when the time came, she would hide the person in the carriage that would send things to Li Linglong, and enter in batches.

After making all the preparations, Tang Xi just waited for that day to come.

On the same day, after lunch, Tang Xi took Qingshuang to the lotus pond, along the way she was relaxed and casual, talking with Qingshuang, today go to the lotus pond to pick a little lotus root back, make a lotus seed soup to drink, on the way to meet the palace maid eunuch did not see the slightest nervousness, behaving as in the past.

When he arrived at the lotus pond, Tang Xi also went to the boat in person, held the boat and picked up the lotus root with Qingshuang, and when the two were having fun, suddenly a man in black fell from the sky, and a sharp sword pointed directly at Tang Xi, Qingshuang's face was solemn, "Be careful, princess!" As he spoke, he drew the soft sword at his waist and blocked the assassin's sword.

Tang Xi's face was pale, but he reacted immediately, and hurriedly rowed the oars to the shore, and at the same time, more people in black appeared, coming towards the two of them, Qingshuang fought against ten people alone, naturally he couldn't take care of it at all, and soon he was injured, fortunately, the two of them were just not far from the shore, and the boat had already docked at this time, Tang Xi immediately went to the shore and ran and shouted, "Help!" There are assassins! ”

Feng Lie, who was taking a leisurely walk not far away, suddenly heard a shout and frowned, "Li Sheng, is someone shouting for help?" ”

Li Sheng listened quietly for a moment, and his face turned a little pale, "It seems that yes, it's a woman?" ”

Feng Lie's pace quickened a little, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw ten black-clothed people not far away besieging the two women, his pupils suddenly shrank, "Yan Xi! ”

As soon as the words fell, he pulled out a guard's knife in one hand, and then rushed towards Tang Xi with light skills, Li Sheng looked at it, and hurriedly said to the guards beside him, "Why are you still stunned?" Don't hesitate to help! ”

At this time, Tang Xi was being chased by three people, she had a little kung fu herself, so she could occasionally avoid the opponent's attacks, but more often than not, she couldn't avoid it, and at this time she had already stabbed two holes in her body, and she didn't fall down by willpower.

When Feng Lie arrived, he just took the sword of an assassin, and then one turned around and killed the assassin, and the other two hurriedly turned around to run, but at this time, Feng Lie's four bodyguards had already arrived, blocking their way and entangled with people.

Feng Lie looked at Tang Xi, who was covered in blood, his face was full of anxiety, "Yan Xi! Yan Xi! Wake up! How's it going? ”

Tang Xi opened his eyes a little weakly, "Ah...... Your Majesty, I'm fine, but I was stabbed twice in the shoulder and calf......"

Feng Lie's eyes turned red, "I'll take you to the Imperial Doctor!" As he spoke, he picked her up and was about to rush out.

But where would the Assassins let them go so easily? In an instant, he was entangled in his footsteps.

At this time, Li Sheng, who was standing not far away and watching, didn't notice that a man in black was approaching him, only to feel a sudden stabbing pain in his heart, he widened his eyes and lowered his head, and saw a sharp sword with a cold light poking out of his heart, he subconsciously turned his head and saw a man in black standing behind him, and then the long sword was pulled out by him, and then turned around and returned to the battlefield.

His eyes widened, he slowly fell, and then he seemed to suddenly understand something, looked up in Tang Xi's direction, and stretched out his right hand towards her side hard, as if he was unwilling, as if he wanted to grab something, but everything was in vain, he finally swallowed his last breath slowly, but his eyes were still staring, as if asking Tang Xi, why?

Tang Xi looked at Li Sheng not far away and swallowed her last breath, and then many guards came from all directions, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then slowly closed her eyes.

Feng Lie noticed that the hand of the person in his arms holding his sleeve suddenly lost strength, and his heart jumped fiercely, "Yan Xi! Then he rushed out with her in his arms regardless of it, "Go and call the imperial doctor!" ”

When Tang Xi woke up again, he only felt pain all over his body, as if the whole person had fallen apart, he moved slightly, and his shoulders and calves were even more painful.

She couldn't help but hiss, and suddenly heard a person walking quickly to her bedside, and said in an anxious voice, "Are you awake?" What do you think? ”

She raised her eyelids with great effort, and saw Feng Lie standing in front of the bed looking at her with an anxious face, she reluctantly bent her lips, and her voice was slightly weak, "It's okay...... I just feel a little painful. ”

Feng Lie hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'm going to call the Imperial Doctor to come in and take a look!" After saying that, he hurried out.

Tang Xi looked at Feng Lie who walked out of the door, and only then did he realize that he didn't even seem to have time to change his clothes, and was still wearing the blood-stained dragon robe...... Is it that you have been guarding yourself without untying your clothes?

Her mind was slightly in a trance, and she remembered the past at once, every time she was sick, Feng Lie was so stubborn that she kept in front of her bed, refusing to leave half a step.

She couldn't help but smile lightly, she didn't expect that one day in this life she would be able to be taken care of by Feng Lie again, but it was a pity...... He is no longer the family affection she wants.

She didn't expect that even if she changed her skin, Feng Lie would still fall in love with her again, but unfortunately, she still couldn't give him any response.

The imperial doctor soon came, and after checking Tang Xi's pulse, he said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Princess Xi is no longer in trouble, the fever has subsided, and then you just need to change the dressing on time, in addition, she has lost too much blood, and needs to take more food that can replenish blood and gas." ”

Feng Lie breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and looked at Tang Xi's gaze softened a lot, "It's okay, you take care of your injuries, as for this incident, I will give you an explanation." ”

Tang Xi nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Feng Lie and the others left, and Qingshuang and Bai Lu dared to come in, "How is the princess?" ”

Tang Xi shook his head, "They are all measured, and they won't really hurt my life, it's just a little sin, it's okay." ”

"That's good." Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with joy on her face, "But the princess's injury is really not in vain, don't you see, since you were injured yesterday, the emperor has been guarding you every step of the way!" The worry on his face, now we are completely sure, the emperor just likes you! ”

Tang Xi curled the corners of his lips, "Expected." After a pause, he said to Qingshuang, "Are your injuries okay?" ”

Qingshuang shook her head and said, "It's all skin trauma, and if you apply the medicine, there will be no big problem, and you won't delay your activities." ”

Tang Xi nodded, and then asked, "What happened later?" ”

"After you were taken away by the emperor, under the siege of many guards, the remaining assassins quickly couldn't hold on, and then committed suicide one after another, and ......" she frowned, "Gonggong Li next to the emperor also died. ”

Qingshuang and the others didn't know Li Sheng's true identity, so although they were a little confused about the assassin's killing of him, they didn't mean to question her.

She nodded and didn't explain more, and then said, "Then the emperor can find Li Linglong's side?" ”

Qingshuang nodded, "It's been found, but the female officer has already run away, and this matter can't be found on our heads, this dumb loss, Li Linglong can only swallow it, and ...... Seeing that the emperor is so angry, I'm afraid he won't spare Li Linglong easily. ”

Tang Xi frowned slightly, what she thought was that Feng Lie only needed to send Li Linglong back to Beiyang, but at this moment, Feng Lie wouldn't kill Li Linglong directly in anger, right? That is bound to cause Beiyang's dissatisfaction, which is not what she wants to see!

So he hurriedly said to Bai Lu, "You go to the emperor quickly, just say that there is no need to pursue this matter too much, just send Princess Wuwu back to Beiyang, and there is no need to stir up trouble for me." ”

Qingshuang frowned slightly, "Master, isn't it just right to stir up trouble?" The more chaotic Feng Yuan is, the better it will be for us. ”

"You know what? If Beiyang is also involved, we will not be able to compete with Beiyang at all, and it will only put us at a disadvantage, so Li Linglong must not be killed! At least not for now! After Tang Xi finished speaking, he said to Bai Lu, "Why don't you go quickly?" ”

Bai Lu nodded hurriedly, "I'll go now!" ”

I have to say that Tang Xi's reaction was quite timely, this time Feng Lie was really angry, if it wasn't for Bai Lu's speed, he would really have ordered to kill Li Linglong.

It's just that after listening to Bai Lu's words, his face is still not very good-looking, and he pursed his lips and confirmed again, "Is that really what your master said?" ”

Bai Lu was also very scared when she saw Feng Lie like this, and lowered her head and replied nervously, "That's what the princess said." ”

Feng Lie exhaled, and then sneered at Li Linglong, who was kneeling below, "Count yourself lucky, since Yan Xi interceded for you, then you should go back to Beiyang, but I won't spend a single soldier on you, if you are unlucky and die on the road, you can't blame me!" ”

Below, Li Linglong's face was dead, she knew that no matter how she explained, Feng Lie would not believe her, she closed her eyes and kowtowed to Feng Lie, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Li Linglong turned around and went out, her steps faltering, the reason why she still relied on Fengyuan and didn't leave was that she knew that if she went back, the situation she would face would only be worse, so she would rather live in seclusion and not go to Tang Xi to have any disputes, but she didn't want the other party to be so unforgiving, just ...... This may be her life, she enjoyed the supreme favor of her father in the first half of her life, and she can only live alone in the second half of her life.

And Tang Xi's side, not long after Bai Lu left, Fu Jinglan came.

Tang Xi waved away Qingshuang and struggled to sit up, "Concubine Lan came quickly. ”

Fu Jinglan glanced at the injuries on her body, then at her pale face, smiled lightly and sat down on the chair next to her, "You are really cruel to yourself." ”

Tang Xi hooked the corners of his lips, "In order to achieve the goal, why not be cruel to yourself?" ”

"The purpose? I don't know if your purpose refers to the task given to you by your master, or your own purpose? ”

Tang Xi glanced at her, "My own purpose? What is my own purpose? You're overthinking. ”

"Huh...... Am I overthinking? Then let me ask you, why did your assassin kill Li Sheng? ”

Tang Xi's face was pale, "I asked Li Sheng to take Feng Lie to the lotus pond, if he doesn't die, Feng Lie will definitely suspect me of colluding with him, and now that he is dead, there is no proof of death, and second, Feng Lie will no longer suspect that I am in the same group with Li Sheng, so ...... He had to die. ”

Fu Jinglan narrowed her eyes, "Your mouth is still sharp enough, no matter what gets into your mouth, you can say a little reason, but...... Have you ever thought about how important it is to pull out Daqian when you killed Li Sheng? Do you think the master will let you go easily? ”

Tang Xi smiled lightly, "A dead nail, and a living weapon with infinite possibilities in the future, who do you think he will choose?" Oh, Li Sheng has no use since the moment he died, he may let Qingshuang Bailu warn me, but he will not touch me at all, because now, all his reliance is on me. ”

Fu Jinglan's face was slightly cold, "Heh...... Have you forgotten that there is another me? ”

Tang Xi glanced at her and laughed, "Have you forgotten that Feng Lie hasn't been to your Changning Palace for a long time?" ”

Fu Jinglan's face turned ugly all of a sudden, "Don't be too proud, even if he hasn't been to my Changning Palace, I'm still the only concubine in the palace!" ”

Tang Xi had a hint of mockery on his face, "Fu Jinglan, you should have known that a stand-in can't go far, so he will send me another one, and now there is indeed only one concubine like you in the palace...... But soon, probably not. ”

Fu Jinglan got up suddenly, "I won't become an outcast!" With that, she turned away angrily.

Tang Xi smiled indifferently, Fu Jinglan's role was to help her lay the foundation in Fengyuan, and then rely on her obvious identity to prove Tang Xi's innocence, now her role has been played, in the Daqian Emperor, she has become dispensable, if she honestly stays until Tang Xi leaves, she will become the only chess piece in the hands of the Daqian Emperor, but if she can't wait and dies by herself, I am afraid that the Daqian Emperor will be the first to solve her.

After sending Fu Jinglan away, Tang Xi also felt tired, so he fell asleep again.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already pitch black, and she was a little thirsty, so she struggled to sit up, trying to pour herself a cup of tea, but just after taking two steps, her calf was spasmodic and painful, and she was about to fall down with a weak foot, but the next moment, she fell into a warm embrace.

She was shocked in her heart and hurriedly struggled, "Who? ”

A pair of slightly cool hands grabbed her struggling hand, and her voice was low and cold, "It's me." ”

The familiar voice made Tang Xi quiet down instantly, she raised her head, and by the moonlight, she could faintly see his face, and then she was stunned and muttered, "Huo Jinyan? I'm not dreaming......"

Wasn't he supposed to fight in South Vietnam? How could he suddenly appear in Feng Yuan's palace? Well...... She must not have woken up, she thought about it day and night, and only then did she feel that she saw Huo Jinyan!
