( ) Yongtai five years winter, Jingshan.

The sky outside was already covered in silver and dripping into ice, and although it had snowed in Jingshan, the cold was not so heavy.

Yan Li lit the letter that he had already read in his hand with a candle flame, and discarded it casually on the side of the table leg, and then looked up at the blue tree on the side of Mo Li.

Seeing Yan Li looking, Lan Ying stepped forward, "Young master." ”

"Li Kai is defeated." Yan Li said lightly.

Lan Ying's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, "Defeated?" ”

Yan Li bowed slightly, raised his hand and rubbed his slightly frowning brows, "The letter was written by Li Yuan, Li Kai has returned to Dengzhou, Feng Yiping suggested to Li Kai that he could borrow troops from Northern Qi in a friendly way." ”

When Lan Ying heard this, her originally calm face suddenly became a little ugly.

"Borrowing troops from Northern Qi?"

Yan Li nodded.

"How could he figure it out!" Lan Ying lost his voice and said: "Borrowing troops from Northern Qi, isn't this leading the wolf into the house?" ”

Yan Li raised the corners of his mouth, got up and walked to the window, raised his hand to push open the lightly covered window sash, the cold wind howled into the room, and instantly swayed a cold of brickwork, but he didn't realize it, his eyes stared faintly in the direction of the east, and his eyebrows raised a sharp arc.

Li Kai was able to fight against Li Xi for five years, which was already unexpected, and today's defeat was naturally not surprising to him. He just didn't expect that Feng Yiping would give Li Kai the idea of borrowing troops from him! If it weren't for the fact that he had already made arrangements for Northern Qi, he would have really let him get his wish.

Yan Li shook his head, people say that they would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, and this is really the case, thinking that he Feng Yiping also read poetry and books and was born in the second list of Jinshi, but for his own hatred, he did not hesitate to overturn the entire Dongxia, such a person...... Yan Li groaned slightly, turned back to Lan Ying and said.

"Aunt Lan, Feng Yiping can't stay!"

Lan Ying nodded.

It really can't be stayed, if it weren't for the young master who disintegrated the forces of Northern Qi that day, how could Northern Qi refuse to be sent such a piece of fat to the door? Revenge is one thing, but pulling the people of two countries into a war over personal feuds is also not what she wants to see.

"What is the young master going to do?" Lan Ying looked at Yan Li and said softly, "Or, I'll go myself." ”

Yan Li shook his head, and a slight smile suddenly bloomed between his handsome eyebrows, "The doctor said that Jin'er's delivery date is in March next year, and only you are older around us who have experienced it, and you are gone, who will take care of her?" The words fell, but he smiled, and said in a deep voice: "Besides, I had planned to go to the imperial city a year ago, so it's time to leave." ”

Lan Ying had a smile on her face at first, and when Yan Li said that she was going to the capital, the smile on her face couldn't help but freeze. However, it was only a matter of moments. After all, from the day Li Kai and Li Xi were arranged, Yan Li had said that Li Kai would not be Li Xi's opponent, and the reason why he would give his full support was just to buy time.

Now Li Kai and Li Xi have been fighting for five years, and for the young master, time is enough.

Besides, the young master has always had a thorn in his heart, and she knows it.

On the same day, there was an interception outside Jingshan arranged by Li Xi with full authority, fortunately Lan Yu helped, but Lan Yu died, which was a thorn buried in the young master's heart.

If it weren't for Madame, maybe the young master would have decided to enter Beijing a few years ago!

Lan Ying sighed softly, thought for a while, and said softly, "Madam, did she agree?" ”

Hearing Lan Ying mention Rong Jin, Yan Li's already slightly heavy eyebrows tightened more and more.

After a few years of marriage, Rong Jin has never been pregnant, and finally diagnosed with pregnancy in the middle of spring this year, but I don't want to, but Rong Jin's pregnancy is extremely bad, and he has been having morning sickness since the day he was diagnosed with Ximai. Drinking saliva can spit out in the dark, and he can see that his heart seems to be entangled in cobwebs, if it weren't for the small birth injury, he almost wanted to be the master of this child.

Yan Li rubbed his heavy forehead and nodded gently.

Lan Ying suddenly let out a long sigh and said softly: "Madame is already having a difficult heir, this is your first child, according to my wishes, the young master still stays for Madame to give birth safely......"

"Li Kai is defeated, I'm afraid that if I don't look for Li Xi, he will also come to find me." Yan Li interrupted Lan Ying's words, "It's time to make an end, don't worry, I will definitely rush back before Jin'er gives birth." ”

Lan Ying saw that he had made up his mind, so he no longer dissuaded him.

Yan Li glanced at the sky outside, got up and said, "It's not early, Aunt Lan, you go to rest, I should also go to accompany Jin'er." ”

The two said goodbye to each other.

Yan left the main courtyard of him and Rong Jin, and walked all the way, and the red lanterns under the eaves of the eaves were three steps and one red lantern to decorate this cold season with a little more warmth.

In the house, Rong Jin was directing Linlang, Xingyu and others to take care of Yan Li's travel, and a few people packed a big box and came out after a short time.

Linlang looked at the camphor wood box, and couldn't help but say: "Madam, such a big box, can the young master really bring it?" ”

Rong Jin looked at the box placed in the middle of the room and couldn't help but stroke his head, this is already streamlined and streamlined, but who would have thought that there were so many things.

Linlang didn't wait for Rong Jin's answer, shook his head and said: "I think we are cleaning up in vain, the young master has always gone out in the past, and he has always left with a few clothes and horses, you let him bring such a big box......"

"But it's all about using!" Xingyu said softly on the side.

Rong Jin looked down at his high bulging abdomen, leaned slightly, a shallow smile on the corner of his lips, and gently stroked the little fart child in his stomach who was not moving back and forth with one hand, and said to Linlang and Xingyu: "Forget it, it's better to simply pack up a few clothes and come out." ”

Linlang, Xingyu and the others answered yes before they started to clean up again, but at this moment, the voice of Xinghua sounded in their ears, "Madam, the young master is back." ”

Rong Jin left the people in the house, picked up his feet and went out, and when he reached the door, he collided with Yan Li, who entered the door with a cold wind.

"It's so late, why don't you stop?" Yan Li frowned, and did not step forward immediately, but turned around and went to the charcoal basin in the corner of the house, and when the chill on his body dissipated, he welcomed Rong Jin forward, raised his hand to cover her high bulging belly, and asked, "Is the little guy well-behaved today?" ”

Rong Jin nodded, "It's very good." ”

A light smile bloomed at the corner of Yan Li's lips, and she said softly: "It should be a girl, they all say that a girl is a headache." ”

Rong Jin couldn't help but pouted when he heard this, and said angrily: "Hurt mother? Her mother was almost tossed to death by her before. ”

Yan Li remembered the scene when Rong Jin was pregnant at the beginning, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Rong Jin threw it away after saying that, stepped forward and took Yan Li's hand, and asked softly, "Have you discussed it with Aunt Lan?" ”

"Well," Yan Li nodded as he took Rong Jin's hand and walked inside, "It's just that Aunt Lan and I don't worry about you." ”

Rong Jin thought of this.

Although Aunt Lan and them are the main servants, in fact, to a large extent, she has always played the role of an elder. It is very difficult for her to conceive this child, and it is difficult to say how things will progress and what the outcome will be when she and Yan leave. As Aunt Lan, who has been looking forward to Yan Li's future, she is very worried.

After thinking about it, Rong Jin said softly: "Didn't you say that you came back before I gave birth?" So what else is there to worry about! ”

"Well, that's what I told her." After a pause, he said: "Maybe it's because people are getting older, and there are always more things to worry about." ”

Rong Jin echoed a few words of relief.

The two of them had already entered the inner room, and several people in the room had already cleaned up again, and were carrying the camphor wood box to put it back in the storeroom.

Yan Li couldn't help but be surprised: "What is this for?" ”

"It's nothing, I packed your luggage for you before, but then I thought that you wouldn't have much time to go anyway, so you don't have to make so much trouble, so I asked them to pack a few clothes for you again, and put away everything else that is useless." Rong Jin said.

Yan Li nodded when he heard this, and didn't ask any more.

Seeing that it was not early, let Xinghua order to go down and get hot water to come in, and waved Linlang back, and he sat down in front of the bed, took off her shoes and socks for Rong Jin and served her to wash her feet.

Rong Jin half leaned on the side of the bed, massaging the acupuncture points on his feet lightly and heavily, while babbling about some things, he was pressed by Yan Li and drowsy, but because he had something in his heart, he didn't dare to fall asleep.

When Yan Li took her feet clean and dried them, and began to wash her feet with the water she had washed her feet, Rong Jin asked while lying down on the bed, "There won't be an accident over there in Northern Qi, right?" ”

"No, I have already given King Wen Jin and Cui Jinyan a letter to each of them earlier, King Wen Jin may have ideas, but Cui Jinyan doesn't want this world to be in chaos more than anyone else, with him, even if King Wen Jin has ideas, it is in vain." Yan Li said.

Rong Jin was silent when he heard this, but he leaned a little but laughed "poof".

Yan Li, who was wiping her feet, couldn't help but look back at her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Rong Jin shook his head, looked at Yan Li with a smile and said: "I heard Linlang say that Concubine Li originally wanted to let the emperor marry the niece of Lord Cui, but she was opposed by King Wen Jin, and Cui Jinyan was even more anxious to set a door for her niece, is this true?" ”

"It's true." Yan Li nodded.

Rong Jin half-stood up, looked at Yan Li with burning eyes, and asked, "Why does Lord Cui refuse this family business?" The future queen is from the Cui family, and since then the Cui family has become the first family in Northern Qi, isn't this good? ”

"But then the previous balance is going to be broken, isn't it?" Yan Li asked with a smile.

Rong Jin smiled evilly and moved in, giving up the position next to him, "Wouldn't that be better?" In this way, whether it is Northern Qi or Dongxia, they are all too busy to take care of themselves, and no one should fight anyone's idea! ”

Yan Li lay down in the place that Rong Jin had given up, raised his hand and rested on Rong Jin's bulging abdomen, and let out a long sigh. Yes, if Northern Qi and Eastern Xia are in chaos, Jingshan will naturally be the best for them, and no one will have the heart to trouble them again. However, in this way, how many people will die in this world?

"I just want to accumulate some merit for our children." Yan Li's voice sounded slowly in the dark night, "You know, although it is the common people who are suffering in the prosperous years, they can still survive, but the war is chaotic, and they are the first to be unlucky, the family is ruined and the wife is separated, I don't want our children to come to this world, the first thing they see is this miserable image of hell on earth!" ”

Rong Jin stretched out his hand to cover Yan Li's hand, "I understand, that's not what I want." ”

Yan Li smiled sideways and glanced at Rong Jin beside her with warm eyes, raised her head and lightly imprinted a kiss on her starry eyes, "Sleep." ”

"Hmm!"

The next day, Rong Jin, who had been getting up late during this time, got up early in the morning.

But she deliberately got up early, but Yan Li was also dancing a set of swords outside, and when she returned to the house, she saw that Rong Jin was not still asleep as usual, so she couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

"When you wake up, you can't sleep, so you get up."

Rong Jin said as he handed over a warm handkerchief for Yan Li to wipe his sweat, and Xingyu, who had arranged breakfast, came in and asked the two of them to have dinner at this time, or wait a while.

"It's now, use it up sooner, and get on the road sooner." Rong Jin said.

The apricot rain went down to make people set up breakfast.

Rong Jin followed Yan to the clean room, and said softly: "I've thought about it, let's follow you." ”

Yan Li's plan before was not to bring Linlang, but when he heard Rong Jin's words, Yan Li paused, and couldn't help but look back at Rong Jin, "Isn't it already good?" Linlang stayed with you, and I'll take Yeli and Feng Wei there. ”

Rong Jin shook his head, "I'm still not at ease, you bring Linlang, I'm in Jingshan anyway, there are so many people guarding me here, you have rearranged the secret room secret passage, there will be nothing wrong, but it's you ......"

"I'm going to be fine." Yan Li said categorically: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back before you give birth, Linlang is still as we agreed before, and she will stay with you." ”

Rong Jin wanted to persuade again, but he didn't say anything to Shang Yanli's undoubted face and nodded.

After breakfast, Rong Jin got up and said, "Let's go, I'll send you off." ”

Yan Li hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and took Rong Jin's hand and walked out.

Outside, Yeli had been waiting outside with the prepared Feng Wei for a long time, and when she saw Yan Li and Rong Jin, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Young master, ma'am."

Rong Jin smiled and nodded to Yeli, "Be careful all the way." ”

Yeli nodded, "Madam, don't worry, we will definitely return triumphantly." ”

Yan Li took the horse rope brought by Feng Wei, looked back at Rong Jin, and was reluctant to give up, and could only say, "Go back, it's cold outside." ”

Rong Jin smiled and waved his hand.

Yuzhao Palace, the imperial capital of Eastern Xia.

Li Xi listened to the secret agent's report, was silent for a while, leaned slightly and waved his hand, and said lightly: "Go down." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The agent retreated.

The snow was still falling, but not as dense as before, and the goose feather snow was gone, replaced by a light snow like cotton wool. But in this way, because for a few days in a row, the palace was already covered with heavy snow, and the eyes were full of whiteness.

"Koyong ......"

"The minions are here." Gu Yong, who had been promoted to the position of chief administrator, replied softly.

But Li Xi was speechless for a long time after that sentence.

Gu Yong secretly glanced at Li Xi suspiciously, Li Xi leaned back in the dragon chair slightly, his slender eyes were half-closed and half-closed, and he didn't know where he fell. Gu Yong couldn't help but speculate in his heart, but this Ninety-Five Venerable was something he grew up watching since he was a child, but it was difficult to see the slightest emotion on his face.

At this moment, Li Xi's voice suddenly rang in his ears, "I heard later that it was such a heavy snow that year. ”

That year...... Gu Yong was stunned for a moment, and his mind was quickly thinking, which year is this and that!

"He must hate me, right?" Li Xi didn't wait for Gu Yong's answer, but said to himself: "It seems that the person who died is some kind of high priest, and it is said that he has a strange relationship with the princess of the country back then." After a pause, the corners of his lips curled with a sneer, "How could Grandpa Huang like such a woman?" ”

Only then did Gu Yong understand what year the so-called year meant! It's just that this topic has changed too quickly, how did it change from the Jingshan ambush to the princess of the Northern Qi Protectorate in an instant? Also involved with the Zhengde Emperor of Daxing? When he was hesitating about how to reply, Li Xi stood up suddenly.

"Your Majesty!" Gu Yong hurriedly followed.

Li Xi paused, squinted at Gu Yong and said coldly: "I want to go alone, you all retreat." ”

"But the emperor ......"

Gu Yong wanted to say more, but Li Xi had already strode out.

Li Xi knew what Gu Yong was worried about, a moment ago, he learned from the secret agent that Yan Li had left Jingshan and was rushing to the imperial capital, but at this moment, he still insisted on walking alone here, which was absolutely safe for others, but for him it was the inner hall of the deep palace full of dangers, and it was no wonder that Gu Yong was worried.

What Gu Yong didn't know was that danger always coexisted with opportunities, whether it was Jingshan or Yan Li, it was a big trouble for him, even if Yan Li didn't come to him, he still wanted to find Yan Li.

Can you let others sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

Let's not say that Yan Li has secretly supported Li Kai to fight with him for many years, let's just say that the existence of Jingshan is like a stalk in his throat for him, and there is only one choice between him and Yan Li, never die!

Only, but I don't know what kind of situation that beautiful woman like autumn water is now?

Li Xi's eyes unexpectedly appeared in front of a beautiful figure with a light on her skin and picturesque eyebrows.

He knew that it was not only himself who loved her, but also his intended eleventh emperor uncle, Li Huan. What's more, Uncle Eleven gave up his life for her! I just don't know, whether it's the eleventh emperor uncle or him, can he have a place in her heart?

A wistful chuckle bloomed on Li Xi's face again.

He is not as stupid as the Nine Emperor Uncles, as far as he is concerned, he can't get it, he would rather destroy it.

But he only regretted it......

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, slow down, fall carefully."

An abrupt female voice sounded.

Li Xi looked up in amazement, only to find that he didn't know when he walked to the old palace, the Mingde Palace. And since the queen gave birth to her eldest son four years ago and was crowned the crown prince, this Mingde Hall has become the residence of the crown prince Li Shen.

In front of him, the three-year-old prince Li Shen was wrapped in a small black mink coat, rolling happily in the snow, followed by a long list of waiters, those people were the elderly grandmother sent by the queen Zhou, and the clever little palace people sent by the former Jiangcheng and now the Zhenguo Gong. Everyone's eyes were closely following the little man who was really happy on the snow, and he didn't dare to relax with Sihao!

I don't know who suddenly found Li Xi standing under the eaves of the porch, and a panicked and slightly frightened voice sounded, "The slave has seen the emperor." ”

In an instant, one after another, the salutes rang out in unison, followed by the black crow kneeling on the ground.

"Father."

Prince Li Shen didn't seem to expect to meet his father here, raised his face sticky to the snow grains and looked happily at Li Xi, who was striding towards him, and stretched out his little hand to hug him.

Li Xi didn't hug Li Shen, but reached out to help him up from the ground, patted the snow slag on his head and body with a pleasant face, and asked with a smile: "Brother Shen, are you having fun?" ”

"Happy!" Li Shen replied crisply, leaning only slightly, but pouted and pointed to the group of people who were still kneeling behind him, and said unhappily: "It's just that they are too annoying, they follow everywhere they go, father, can you help Shen'er drive them away?" ”

A group of people suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Your Royal Highness the Prince, what are you really that......

"That's because you're still too young, it's too dangerous in this palace, and they're afraid that something will happen to you, so they're so careful!" Li Xi took Li Shen's hand and waved his hand, signaling everyone kneeling to get up.

Li Shen looked up at Li Xi with a puzzled expression, "Father, isn't the palace the safest place?" How can you say it's dangerous? ”

Li Xi took Li Shen's hand and walked towards the Mingde Palace.

As he walked, he explained good-naturedly: "What my father means is that the palace is so big, and you are still so small, if they don't follow, what if you get lost and get lost?" ”

"However, there are people everywhere, as long as Shen'er tells them that Shen'er is the crown prince, they will send Shen'er back to his father and mother, right?" Li Shen looked up at Li Xi with his face that resembled Zhou's and asked.

Li Xi smiled noncommittally, "What if, some of those people have bad intentions?" What about smuggling you out of the palace? ”

Li Shen's little face suddenly turned white.

He never thought about this question, although he was young, he also knew that he was unique in the palace, could anyone really dare to take the risk of raiding his family and exterminating the clan against him?

Seeing that Li Shen no longer spoke, Li Xi let go of his hand and explained softly again: "Have you forgotten, your second emperor uncle has always been eyeing his father's throne, although he was defeated by his father, but he is not dead, this palace is also where he grew up, if he buys off the people inside to be obedient to his father and your mother, he doesn't notice, kidnaps you, and uses you to threaten his father, what will my father do?" ”

Li Shen's little face suddenly wrinkled, and he frowned and said, "Shen'er understands, Shen'er won't drive them away again." ”

The palace people standing solemnly everywhere sighed in unison, and they all looked at Li Xi who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe with gratitude.

Li Xi pinched Li Shen's face with kindness on his face, and praised: "Our Shen'er is really a good child." ”

A happy smile bloomed on Li Shen's pink face, and his eyes, which were the same as Li Xi's, were even brighter.

Leaving the Mingde Palace, Li Xiyi went to the Empress Zhou's dormitory, Fengyi Palace. Since his wedding, the Empress Dowager Lu has moved out of the Fengyi Hall and moved into the Shouning Hall in the south, while the previous Fengyi Hall was given to the current Empress Zhou.

Although Queen Zhou was born in a family of military generals, her temperament is happy and quiet, and because of a few snowfalls, the palace people see that the master is generous, and they are naturally lazy when they get on errands.

No, the man who was supposed to be standing outside the temple gate shrank under the eaves of the corridor to hide lazily, so Li Xi walked all the way, but no one noticed.

Until, when he was about to enter the main hall, the small palace people standing under the eaves of the corridor were shocked, and hurriedly shouted inside with a white face, "Niangniang, the emperor is here." ”

There was a sound of ringing in the hall, and after a while, the Zhou family hurriedly greeted the curtain raised by the palace people, "The concubine has seen the emperor." ”

Li Xi took a step forward, personally helped Queen Zhou and exempted the surrounding palace people from the courtesy, and then walked to the inner hall with the Zhou family, and asked as he walked, "What are you doing?" ”

"It's nothing, let's talk to a few of them."

"Why didn't you take Shen'er over?"

Empress Zhou sat down with Li Xi, and personally took the hot tea newly brewed by the palace people and stepped forward, hearing this, she said with a smile: "He, where can I sit, I came here in the morning to show my face, and I was clamoring to go to Huo What snowman." ”

Li Xi smiled slightly, took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Boy, always be naughty." ”

"Your Majesty, you have to take care of him, once this temperament is released, it will be difficult to take it back in the future." Empress Zhou said softly.

"Defenseless, Shen'er is a sensible child."

Queen Zhou originally said that, although she was happy and quiet, but she must have been born in a family of military generals, she understands that this boy is different from a girl, and Li Shen's responsibilities are different, and she can live happily in her life for these two years. Therefore, after listening to Li Xi's words, there was just a smile of honor on his face, but he didn't mention the words again.

Li Xi glanced at the people standing in the room, waved his hand, and said, "You all go down, you don't need to wait here." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The palace mermaid rushed out.

Empress Zhou's face changed, and she looked at Li Xi with a solemn gaze, "Your Majesty, but what happened?" ”

"I have something here, you can put it away." Li Xi took out a copy of the Ming Huang edict from his sleeve cage and handed it over.

Empress Zhou was stunned, and only reacted later, took the edict in Li Xi's hand, and asked hesitantly: "Is this ......?"

"Edict!"

With a "snap", the edict that Queen Zhou had just gotten fell to the ground, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly leaned over to pick it up, and said in a loud voice: "The concubine is rude, and the emperor forgives the sin." ”

"The queen need not be so alarmed." Li Xi looked at Queen Zhou with a blank face calmly, and the corners of her lips slightly pursed a clear smile, "Sooner or later, the queen will know about things, rather than knowing from others, why don't I tell you in person." ”

Queen Zhou's already white face became more and more white as paper in an instant.

She understood the meaning of Li Xi's words.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but she is full of honor and disgrace of the Zhou family, and she has the experience of the Queen Mother, how dare she deliver herself wholeheartedly?

Seeing that Zhou avoided his gaze, Li Xi pretended not to notice the uneasiness in her heart, and said slowly: "Yan Li has secretly entered Beijing, if I expect it to be true, the target of his trip is only me, and I am ...... with him."

Empress Zhou looked up at Li Xi in amazement, "Yan left and entered Beijing?" ”

Li Xi nodded, and then continued: "The queen should know that there is an endless game between me and him. ”

"The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he can ......"

Li Xi waved his hand, he guessed what Queen Zhou was going to say, and he had heard too much and was tired of hearing these words, he knew better than anyone that he had very few chances of winning against Yan Li, who came prepared!

"Who is he and what kind of power he has, I don't need to explain it to you, you should know a lot from the national office." Li Xi lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes were like a row of fans covering the brilliance in his eyes, leaving only a faint shadow.

Empress Zhou was silent, but she held the edict tightly in her hand.

At this moment, what she cares about in her heart is no longer Li Xi's life and death, but quickly calculates, once Li Xi has an accident, can the prince successfully ascend the throne?

"The queen can rest assured, I have arranged everything, if anything happens to me, the prince will fully support the crown prince to ascend the throne." At the end, he laughed and said as if self-deprecatingly: "After all, I have only one person under my knees, isn't it?" ”

was peeped into by Li Xi, and the Zhou family was not afraid, but groaned and said her worries, "The concubine is worried about Yan Li, if it ......"

"No!" Li Xi interrupted Zhou's words, "The relationship between him and me is just a personal grudge, if he really has this heart, he will not wait until now, he will do it a few years ago." ”

Queen Zhou's heart is slightly calm, she may not believe Li Xi's words, but at the moment she seems to have to choose to believe it.

For a moment, the two were relatively speechless.

After a long time, Empress Zhou suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, have you found Li Kai over there in Jingzhou?" ”

Jingzhou is the hometown of Yuan Guifei, in this battle that lasted for nearly five years, although Li Kai ended in defeat, Jingzhou has also been lost, but Li Kai escaped under the protection of a strong force. And if Li Kai doesn't die for a day, his danger will exist for a day, because in Li Kai's hands, he holds the real heirloom jade seal!

Li Xi shook his head, Li Kai has the protection of the dragon guard, and Feng Yiping has his plans, but the results are always unsatisfactory.

When Empress Zhou saw Li Xi shaking her head, she couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Perhaps, she should discuss with her father and let the Guogong Mansion send the dead soldiers!

"You don't have to worry about this, Li Kai's life and death are not enough to affect the overall situation." Li Xi said with relief: "Right now, our real opponent is Yan Li. ”

Empress Zhou nodded, and said without worry: "The emperor knows that the comer is not good, and he should prepare early." ”

Li Xi was noncommittal.

Preparing early?

Not only did he prepare early, as early as five years ago, after the defeat of the Battle of Jingshan, he was preparing for today!

"I still have a twist to approve, so I won't accompany the queen." Li Xi got up and walked out.

Empress Zhou hurriedly got up to send her off.

Until Li Xi's figure disappeared into the Fengyi Hall for a long time, Queen Zhou still stood under the eaves of the corridor for a long time and never moved Fenhao.

"Niangniang, the emperor has already gone away, and it is windy outside, so let's go back to the inner hall." The sound of the green beads of the henchman sounded beside him.

Luzhu is the only maid she brought into the palace from Yongcheng Houfu except for the nurse, and her loyalty to her is very comparable. After Empress Zhou was silent for a while, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said softly: "Luzhu, you go out of the palace and go back to the Guogong Mansion." ”

Lu Zhu was stunned for a moment and then nodded immediately, "Yes, the slave maid will change her clothes and leave the palace." ”

"Don't worry, I still have to write a letter, you can take it back." Empress Zhou turned around and slowly walked towards the inner hall.

Luzhu hurriedly followed.

The winter snow of Yongtai's five years seemed to finish the snow for several years, and it continued for half a month, and finally stopped on the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Not only did the snow stop, but a bright sun in the sky sprinkled warmth throughout the imperial city.

Although the snow on the street is quite thick and inconvenient to travel, but because it is Chinese New Year's Eve, whether it is a high-ranking official or a nobleman, or a flat-headed people, it is still a joyful appearance, after all, no matter how bad, the year is over, the next year is a new year to look forward to, and the hope of the coming year is the driving force of life, isn't it?

After the end of the day, there was no one on the street, and the market that was still bustling in the morning was already empty by this time, and although the shops along the street were still hanging with joyful lanterns, they all had their doors up, and only a few children were left running and playing.

When it was time to get the unitary, even the children who were originally happy were taken back by their families and had a lively reunion dinner. And night fell quietly at this time.

The palace is not like the folk, early in the morning is a ritual of complicated sacrifice ceremonies, not only the sacrifice to the heavens and the earth but also the emperors of the past dynasties, a round down, Li Xi and Queen Zhou have already been so tired that the bones are scattered, because the year is a day off, as the king of a country, Li Xi also has to deal with the backlog of several major events, and when he came out of the Xuanzheng Palace, the sky was completely dark. And the palace people sent by Empress Zhou to urge him to enter the table have come and gone several times!

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Li Xi walk out, the palace people who were waiting outside hurriedly stepped forward.

Li Xi glanced at the big red lantern that stretched out in the palace, tightened the heavy cloak on his body, and said to Gu Yong: "Several uncles have entered the palace?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, you have arrived, and you will be waiting for the emperor." Gu Yong stepped forward and replied.

Li Xi nodded and took the lead in walking towards the Lin De Palace, where the royal family was invited to a banquet.

The road from the Xuanzheng Hall to the Lin De Hall is not long, but because one is in the north and the other is in the south, and several palaces have to be bypassed in the middle, therefore, this short road is still quite wasted to walk.

Although there are palace people sweeping the snow every day, although the snow is swept, the snow left behind is frozen and makes a "click, click" sound when stepped on.

Li Xi furrowed his brows and leaned on the dragon, since he got the news that Yan Li had secretly entered Beijing, he never knew when that person would appear in front of him like a frightened bird. However, after so many days of hard work, it was safe. For a while, he couldn't help but wonder, was the intelligence wrong, Yan Li didn't leave Jingshan at all? Or, he went out of Jingshan, but his destination was not the Imperial City?

"What people!"

A shout suddenly rang out.

Li Xi suddenly straightened up, and looked at the empty courtyard in front of him with alert eyes.

The leader of the Praetorian Guard who accompanied him ran forward, "Your Majesty, the minister seems to have seen ...... just now."

Before the Praetorian Guard leader could finish his words, a snow-white figure floated down from the snow-covered palace, in a graceful posture like a flower blooming in the wind, and like the overwhelming snowflakes of a few days ago.

"Someone, escort!"

The leader of the Praetorian Guard didn't think about it, and fiercely drew his sword to guard Li Xi, staring sharply at the figure of a white crane standing upright like a jade tree.

Li Xi suddenly had a feeling that the dust had settled, he lightly brushed aside the leader of the Praetorian Guard in front of him, and stepped forward, "Yan Li? ”

Yan Li raised his hand and slowly removed the hood on his head, and looked at Li Xi who was three feet away from him lightly, "Yes, it's me." ”

A smile suddenly appeared on Li Xi's face, "You're finally here!" ”

"Yes, I'm here." Yan Li nodded, his eyes still looking at Li Xi without emotion, "Are you ready?" ”

Li Xi was stunned, but leaned a little but laughed, nodded and said, "Ready." ”

"Okay, let's get started!"

As soon as Yan Li's words fell, the person shot towards Li Xi like an arrow from the string.

At this moment, Li Xi's body also burst out, and he hurriedly retreated like a streamer, and at the same time, he shouted sharply: "Where are the guards......?"

After he finished shouting, the originally empty courtyard suddenly sounded the sound of window sashes cracking, some guards came out of the house with knives, and some guards wrapped in white cloaks rose from the ridge of the house, each with a bow and crossbow, and in an instant Yan left the house in a circle.

At that time, Li Xi had been guarded by the Praetorian Guards and chamberlains who were ambushed everywhere, the corners of his lips provoked a sneering arc, his facial features were as sharp as a knife peak, his eyes looked directly at Yan Li, who was trying to break through the heavy guards, and slowly raised his right hand.

And as his hand was raised high, the bow and crossbow in the hands of the guards on the house were pulled to the limit, and the arrows that flashed with a faint blue light were all aimed at Yan Li in the crowd.

Li Xi's hand was lowered heavily, and the guard's fingers were suddenly closed......

However, at this time of a thousand equals, "bang, bang......" several sounds of the sky and the earth cracking sounded, and with the deafening sound, the palaces everywhere collapsed like a devastating collapse, and the thick flames accompanied by bursts of green smoke burst out.

The guards who had been living in high houses were now like kites with broken strings, falling into the flames as the collapsed houses fell, and the cries of terror were drowned out in the rumbling of the continuous collapse.

Li Xi looked at this scene in a daze, he could no longer imagine that Yan Li would repeat his old plan and blow up the palace!

Suddenly changed, and all the arrangements seemed to be nothing more than a joke at this moment.

He didn't have time to think about what to do next, and his heart was already cold.

He looked down in a daze, one hand resting on his chest, and at the end of that hand was a short sword that had been completely submerged, so cold, that bone-chilling cold, as if it had stuffed all the snow of the past ten days into his body.

"You...... Win! Li Xi slowly raised his head and pulled the corners of his mouth at Shang Yanli's cold face.

Yan Li bowed slightly, slowly pulled out the short sword in his hand, and said word by word: "You lost!" ”

Did he lose?

The smile on Li Xi's face became more and more bleak.

Yes, he lost!

Why?

It seemed to be snowing again in the sky, Li Xi heard the sound of heavy and uniform steps running towards this side from afar, he knew that it was a heavy army arranged by him, but so what?

His eyes fell heavily and slowly on the wound on his chest like exploding fireworks, and the blood seemed to flow endlessly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......"

Panicked shrill cries rang out in unison.

Li Xi slammed into the ground like a broken log, and in an instant he saw a lot of faces, those faces had strange expressions, some were fearful, some were unbearable, some were happy, and some were ...... Eventually, he froze on his perfect face, and opened his mouth to say something, but his throat was blocked by a sudden surge of blood.

Yan Li put the short sword back into the sheath, glanced at Feng Wei, who was fighting with the Praetorian Guard, and finally looked at Li Xi, who fell to the ground as if soaked in blood, and shouted softly: "Withdraw!" ”

When the words fell, he wanted to go away, but here, his feet seemed to be tight, he couldn't help but look down, and only then did he find that Li Xi's hand was on his toes.

She ...... She, how is she? ”

Although the sound was like a gnat, Yan's alien ear power still allowed him to hear Li Xi's words clearly.

She didn't have to ask, he knew who he meant!

Suddenly in his heart, it was as if he was being flapped by a fly flapping his wings, Yan Li's eyebrows and eyes were cold, his toes lightly shook off Li Xi's hand, and his slender figure was slightly vertical, and he fell three feet away in an instant.

The sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out all over the world, and after a while, countless fireworks bloomed in the sky.

Yan Li hurried all the way to the north.

Jin'er, I'm back!
