"It's just that King Chu Wen is not upright."

Xi Fei's voice was not heavy, but it was loud.

When Gonggong Wei heard this, he couldn't wait to step forward and cover Xi Fei's mouth, and quickly looked back and forth, left and right, fortunately, he was more thoughtful in advance, except for the two maids that Xi Fei brought from Xi Guo, the other slaves and maids were all following from a zhang away.

The purpose of this is only because Xi Fei has just arrived, and he doesn't know her yet, in case she says something unpleasant, it will be passed out by a slave who doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, which will make the king unhappy, and it will be difficult for her to do it herself.

Gonggong Wei lowered his sharp voice and whispered: "Madam, don't say that, our king has always been upright, I don't know why Madame said this?" ”

"In the Yunyan Pavilion just now, it was clear that the king was deliberately evasive, and he didn't have anything important to deal with at all, but he didn't want to answer Qingqiu's question."

Not only did Concubine Xi see that King Chu Wen was deliberately avoiding him, but of course Gonggong Wei also understood that the purpose of King Chu Wen letting him talk to his wife was to let him explain those words that were not easy to say to his wife on his behalf.

Father-in-law Wei looked sincere, and swore an oath: "Madam, you heard the old slave say that the king has been out for so long, and there are indeed many important matters that need to be dealt with urgently, and I hope that Madame will bear with me!" If you have any doubts, just ask the old slave, and the old slave knows everything and says everything. ”

When Xi Fei heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and her face was no longer so cold.

"Okay, let me ask you, Ji Qi from Xiguo, where did the king place him, and can my father-in-law take me to see him?"

Gonggong Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Madam is talking about the two marquis captured by the king from Xiguo and Caiguo?" ”

Xi Fei was suddenly a little excited, her eyes were fixed on Gonggong Wei, and there seemed to be tears flashing in her eyes, which was very different from the indifference she had shown before.

"Yes, exactly, where is Xihou now?"

"Madame's original two! , the old slave really knows. ”

Gonggong Wei covered his mouth with his hand and snickered, inadvertently cocked his orchid fingers and began to paint.

"Madam, those two were arranged by the king to guard the gate of Danyang! But Mrs. didn't know, between the two, there seems to be a deep holiday, especially the one from the country of Xi, although it looks like a sven, soft and weak, but like a fighting rooster, as soon as he saw the fat head and big ears Cai Hou, he wanted to pounce on it and fight, and that Cai Hou didn't know if it was physically exhausted, only the momentum of dodging, and there was no power to fight back, one chased behind, one hid in front, which made people want to laugh when they looked at it. ”

Gonggong Wei leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, and suddenly glanced at Xi Fei, and found that her face that had just shown a slight smile was like the winter sun, which was lost in a flash, and it was as cold as frost at the moment.

Father-in-law Wei hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, forcibly held back the smile that had not fully bloomed, and swallowed his stomach, why did she react like this? Am I not laughing?

Concubine Xi's voice was choked, and she looked at Gonggong Wei with begging eyes and said, "Gonggong Wei, can you take me to see Xihou?" ”

Seeing Xi Fei's expression, Gonggong Wei, who didn't know, seemed to be particularly concerned about Xi Hou, and thought: What is her relationship with that Xi Hou? How can it be done to let the woman favored by the king go to meet other men? So he pretended to be embarrassed, and muttered, "Madam, this ...... This...... I'm afraid the old slave can't do it. ”

Xi Fei muttered to herself, "Despicable! The eyes that were still shining just now suddenly lost their minds, and they didn't say anything to Gonggong Wei, they turned around and swayed, and walked towards Yunyan Pavilion with one foot deep and one foot shallow, fortunately Xiangming and Xiangling supported them so that they didn't fall.

Gonggong Wei saw the grievances, unbearability, resentment, helplessness and despair in Concubine Xi's eyes, and couldn't help but sink inexplicably in his heart, and he didn't want to say anything more, just silently sent Concubine Xi back.

The north wind howled, ruthlessly dragging away the few yellow leaves from the street trees, leaving only the bare trunks to whimper in the wind.

The sky was gloomy, like a child about to cry, holding back its unhappiness, and the tears seemed to fall if they shook slightly.

Father-in-law Wei looked up at the sky, walked a few steps to follow, and did not dare to slack off for half a minute, in case it rained, so that his wife fell ill in the rain, it was not a small sin.

Who knew that when he was about to reach the Cloud Smoke Pavilion, snowflakes suddenly drifted in the sky.

It seemed that except for the snowflakes that were flying, everything seemed to be enchanted, and it was still, and only the sound of falling snow could be heard.

The fluttering snowflakes piled up into Xi Fei's heart one by one, extinguishing the long-awaited hope in her heart, calming down, and gradually losing temperature, cold, and icy.

When she stepped into the gate of the Yunyan Pavilion, Xi Fei looked around the not very spacious courtyard, although the withered weeds had been uprooted, revealing a well, the leaves of the black locust trees had fallen, and there were two crows parked on the withered branches as if no one was around, looking at it, it always gave people a sense of desolation.

Since returning to Yunyan Pavilion, Xi Fei just stood quietly in front of the window, watching the snowflakes flying, the slaves and maids persuaded her to eat, she turned a deaf ear, what her father-in-law said, she didn't hear it at all, her mind was full of the sweet past with Ji Lin, the two were carefree together, riding horses and archery freely, hunting in the forest, stepping on the snow to find plums, maple forest carving, and sleeping in the plum garden.

Xi Fei's stop was a few hours, Xiangming and Xiangling looked distressed, but persuasion was useless, so they had to take turns to accompany her.

Until Xiangling couldn't stand it anymore, she glanced at Xiangming, and forcibly helped Xifei to sit down in front of the brazier, her feet were numb, and her hands were as cold as iron Xifei did not resist like a puppet, and the two maids continued to use their warm hands to caress Xifei's cold and stiff hands.

It was late at night, and the snow was falling non-stop outside the house. After a long time, Xi Fei's hands and feet finally regained consciousness, the corners of his mouth smiled sadly, looked sideways at Xiang Ming, and said weakly: "Xiang Ming, pen and ink are waiting!" ”

"No! The slave will go to study the ink! ”

After Xiangming finished researching the ink, Xi Fei suddenly took Xiangming and Xiangling's hands in her hands, smiled softly and said: "Xiangming, Xiangling, these days, you two have suffered a lot with me, it's cold today, let's rest early, I'll write a few words and rest, I don't need you to serve." ”

Xiangling, who usually doesn't like to talk, hurriedly said: "What did Madam say! As long as the lady is well, the slaves and maids can rest at ease, the master has not rested, how can there be a reason for the slaves and maids to sleep first? Every sentence is reasonable, Xiangming listened and nodded again and again.

"I said let you go to sleep, you just go, I just want to write quietly alone for a while, obedient, go quickly!"

Xi Fei didn't allow Xiangming and the two to insist any longer, so she pushed them out directly, plugged in the door bolt herself, and came to the table to write with a pen.

Xiangming and the others have been by Xifei's side since they were children, and they know her temperament very well, and Xifei has always been very gentle on weekdays, and occasionally stubborn, no one can resist her.

Xiangming had to lie in front of the window, her eyes were attached to the window paper, and she dimly saw that Xi Fei was indeed writing, and she couldn't insist anymore, because it was very cold outside, and it was not realistic to stand outside the door and wait, so she had to go into the house to rest.

When it snowed, the night was like day, and just after the hour had passed, a figure dragged its heavy steps in the snow, and moved forward with difficulty, leaving two deep, chaotic trails in the snow a foot deep instead of footprints, as if it was not the feet that sank, but the heart.

But in the blink of an eye, the figure suddenly disappeared without a trace.
