A life disappeared from his eyes, and Feng Zhiyao was so shocked that she trembled with a pair of frightened eyes, and covered her mouth hard to keep herself from exclaiming.

Tang An clutched his chest and struggled to prop himself up, kicked the corpse to the ground, closed his eyes and muttered, "Ji Chen, Lao Tzu finally got some justice for you." Don't worry, I'll let them all bury you sooner or later! ”

"Ji Chen?" Mu Rong was slightly stunned, "What's wrong with him?" ”

Tang An said: "Isn't he dead?" ”

"Dead?" Mu Rong blinked and said, "That day in Taiqingguan, his injuries were not too serious, and now he is already fine." ”

Tang An was dumbfounded, thinking about the scene when Ji Chen's arm hung down that day, and then thinking about the bad tricks that this kid had learned from him all the way from the Western Regions, and finally understood that this bastard was pretending to be dead and deceiving himself. Although he knew that this guy was trying not to be a burden to himself, he would be tricked with his own ingenuity, which made him hate it so much: "Good boy, don't let Lao Tzu catch you!" ”

Hearing the two of them talking nonsense that were not related to each other, Feng Zhiyao weakly pointed to the ghostly corpse and said, "I said-shouldn't we think about what to do with him now?" ”

Tang An and Mu Rong looked at the corpse at the same time, and the former frowned and asked, "Sister Fairy, it seems that you have dealt with him, what is the origin of this person?" ”

Mu Rong said with disgust on his face: "He is the leader of those killers. ”

Ringleader? Tang An groaned slightly, and said with a face as heavy as water: "There are only two possibilities for this person to appear here. The first possibility is that he followed Sister Fairy all the way to this ......"

"Impossible." Mu Rong said categorically, "I have carefully investigated along the way, and there is absolutely no one to follow me." ”

"Then there's only the second possibility." Tang An sighed and looked at Feng Zhiyao with some guilt: "Xie Yuan has already begun to doubt you!" ”

Feng Zhiyao was shocked when she heard this, she had been manipulated by Xie Yuan for many years, which made her instinctively feel fear after learning the news. But thinking about the depression of life and the confusion about the future, he smiled miserably: "Doubt is doubt, I am worthy of my conscience, what am I worried about?" ”

The more calm Feng Zhiyao behaved, the stronger the guilt in Tang An's heart. He knew very well that it was because of himself that her peaceful and comfortable life would be disrupted.

She saved her life and took her in, but she was forced to confide the truth to her because of Qi Guo's schemes. And right now, this kind woman is very likely to fall into a situation from which she will never recover.

Recalling the figure who bit his lip and said the words "I'm afraid" under the walls of Jixia School Palace, Tang An clenched his fists and secretly swore that he would never let the tragedy happen.

He pondered for a moment and said, "If Xie Yuan had conclusive evidence, he wouldn't wait until now to do it. He should just be suspicious, or maybe it's because of your rising status that he's afraid you'll be unfaithful. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the ghostly corpse: "Since this person is the leader of the killers, his status is definitely not low, this kind of person will not report everything in detail, and for a while, Xie Yuan should not know that he is dead." If I'm not expecting it bad, his attention will soon be distracted by another thing. And this time is enough for us. ”

Feng Zhiyao asked curiously: "What's the matter?" ”

Tang An got out of bed, dragged his ghostly ankles and prepared to walk out, saying as he walked: "One thing that allows me to unload the burden of my heart......"

After Liu Tingge and the Avengers made such a fuss, how could the court that wanted to save face resist the pressure from the bottom? When the imperial court sends a piece of paper to Xie Yuan's desk, can he still thwart this duel of peak dancers with his own strength? When the time comes, he will reveal his identity and show his intentions, Xie Yuan will definitely do everything possible to prevent himself from reaching an agreement with the King of Qi, how can he have the leisure to pay attention to Feng Zhiyao again?

Hope...... King Qi will make up his mind a moment earlier!

***************************************************

The spring breeze in March was as cold as a knife, at least Xie Yuan felt very cold at this time.

He is a cautious man, and he believes that as a Guardian you should maintain this basic quality. It's a pity that he can't leave the court left and right, and Wu can't immediately wave Fang Xuan with a horizontal sword, and attack the city all the way west without the king's order. He could only hide in the darkness and silently devour those unstable factors that could affect the stability of the Qi country.

In his opinion, Tang An belongs to this kind of factor. Although he didn't know what Tang An's purpose was, he had the instinct to sense danger. And now, he sensed that things were moving down an uncontrolled path.

Two well-planned assassination attempts, both ended in failure. And in this city, which was even more familiar than his own courtyard, he couldn't find Tang An's hiding place.

Not only that, but the small actions in secret have angered the court and the common people, and his position is already in jeopardy. The actions that thought it was foolproof failed again and again, and gave those Tang people a reason to fight back. Liu Gong's party, which is not in harmony with his own political views, has to find opportunities to bite himself all the time.

There are fierce enemies outside, and there are slanderers inside. His Majesty's impression is getting worse and worse, what strength does he have to protect this kingdom?

Xie Yuan rubbed his temples, only feeling tiredness in his heart. Just when he was thinking about how to deal with the predicament in front of him, the old butler offered a cup of fragrant tea and said with some worry: "Master, Grandpa Huang is here." ”

Xie Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze was like a knife.

The people in the palace came to him at this time, what other good thing could they do? It must be that Wen Lianghou, who relied on a clever mouth to tell right and wrong, entered some slander again, and counted his own wrong! Sadly, His Majesty is now not even interested in seeing himself, and has appointed a confidant eunuch to deliver the message.

"Got it."

Xie Yuan warmed his hands with the teacup, then squeezed the cup and saucer, and slammed the delicate Ruyao porcelain cup to the ground with all his might, as if pouring out his anger!

Hate weakness, anger and indisputability.

"Whew!"

With a long breath, Xie Yuan tried his best to suppress his anger and walked out of the house calmly.

Ding Guogong, who came to the front hall, had already put on a warm smile, and strode over to the chief eunuch who was holding the dust in his hand and had a pale face and a proud expression, and beckoned: "Yo, what kind of wind blew Huang Gonggong here today?" Come on, come on, first drink a bowl of hot tea to warm up. Li Mo, go to Changxiang Pavilion to book a private room, and invite your father-in-law to have a drink at noon! ”

"No need!" The Huang Gonggong pinched the orchid finger and waved it gently, and said softly: "Thank you Grandpa Guo for your kindness." But our family didn't come here today to eat and drink. Your Majesty asked the old slave to give you a message to Grandpa Guo, and after that, our family has to go back to the palace. ”

Xie Yuan's heart sank, and he asked next to Gonggong Huang: "I don't know what Your Majesty is doing, I want Gonggong Lao to come in person?" ”

Huang Gonggong sneered, and did not have a good face for this prince who His Majesty did not want to see, but arched his hand to the roof, and said: "Your Majesty said, Phoenix Terrace has stood for decades without falling, and it is not a mouthful, Feng Zhiyao's dancing skills are outstanding in the world, and it is not obtained for no reason." Let's all know the world, why be timid? Taking the opportunity of the challenge of the Tang State to show the national prestige, wouldn't it be a good talk? The emperor has appointed Wen Lianghou as a special envoy, and he is scheduled to dance in the 'Dongque Terrace' three days later, so that our family will come to inform the grandfather of the country. ”

Xie Yuan's face was bloodless. With His Majesty's indecisive nature, if no one had instigated him, would he have answered the challenge so resolutely? And it is not difficult to see from the attitude of avoiding himself that all this is clearly Liu Gong's villain behind his back!

The black sheep, the traitor of the country, nothing more than this!

Xie Yuanzhi felt a cloud of anger burning in his chest, but in the face of the old eunuch who was playing with tea with his tail fingers, he couldn't attack at all, and said stiffly: "It's not that I want to go against Your Majesty, it's just that this matter is too strange, and I have to guard against any shady conspiracy of the Tang people." No, I have to go and see His Majesty in person. ”

"Hey-" Huang Gonggong pinched the lid of the cup and screamed angrily, and said seriously: "I said Grandpa Guo, it was inconvenient for a minister of our family to say anything about this matter, but for the sake of being an old friend with Grandpa Guo, I have to nag two sentences." Do you think that, if Your Majesty had not been decisively decisive? This is a good thing, and you are an exception. The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military praise is clear, what do you use to cover it? Besides, what Your Majesty means by entrusting the old slave to speak, don't you still understand Grandpa Guo? ”

The words are not finished, but with Xie Yuan's shrewdness, how can he not see that this is the emperor saving face for himself? The subtext of these words is nothing more than that: It is imperative to fight, and in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, the widows do not directly refute your opinions, but secretly look for you in private, and the face has been given enough, and you should also know how to advance and retreat.

Xie Yuan clenched his fists, hesitated for a while, and finally sighed and said, "Your Majesty's meaning, I understand." ”

Grandpa Huang finally showed a smile on his face, stroked his clothes and got up: "Our family knows that Grandpa Guo has always been a reasonable person. The Feng family is the person of Grandpa Guo, and there is Phoenix Terrace, and I hope that Grandpa Guo will say hello in advance. Okay, Your Majesty still has orders, so our family won't bother and say goodbye! ”

"Father-in-law, go slowly!"

Sending Huang Gonggong away, Xie Yuan could no longer hide his anger. He doesn't hate King Qi, because King Qi has now been carried away by "love". The one who really led all this was the gentle Marquis Liu Gong from beginning to end!

From the moment he learned of Grimace's assassination, Liu Gong found a way to crush Xie Yuan. Although he didn't know why Xie Yuan was hostile to this song and dance troupe, none of this mattered, the important thing was that Xie Yuan's actions would lose the holy family, annoy the courtiers, spurn the people, and fall into the abyss.

After thinking about it, Xie Yuan finally turned his heart on the side and immediately drove to the Wenliang Marquis Mansion.

Liu Gong, who had been asleep all night, had just gotten up and felt a splitting headache. He couldn't figure out why he was the one who fainted. Shouldn't it be Feng Zhiyao?

This kind of humiliating thing, he will not say it to outsiders, let alone anger Tang An. Because in his opinion, "Ni Daye" reminded himself out of kindness that Feng Zhiyao was not fooled, perhaps out of trust in "Ni Daye", thinking that there was no problem with the food he served, while he thought that the simple question was too complicated.

Alas, failure, what a failure!

At this time, I heard a report from the next person, saying that it was Xie Yuan, the Duke of Dingguo, who came to visit.

Liu Gong smiled disdainfully, he had always been with King Qi during the day yesterday, and listed all the benefits of accepting the challenge. As Xie Yuan expected, didn't you Xie Yuan have the idea of fighting this song and dance troupe? I'm going to go against you, I'm going to ruin you!

Calculation is calculation, nominally Xie Yuan is still the prince of the country. So Liu Gong slowly changed his clothes, pretended to come out, and said with a false smile: "Yo, I don't know what Grandpa Guo is doing when he comes to the cold house?" ”

Xie Yuan obviously lost the interest in making peace with him, waved his hand and retreated, and said straight to the point: "Liu Gong, don't say dark words in front of celebrities." Those Tang people came to challenge in name, but behind the scenes, they had an ulterior conspiracy. This dance is incomparable! ”

Liu Gong "looked embarrassed", clasped his nails and said: "What Grandpa Guo said, this matter is what His Majesty meant, what is the use of you and Ben Hou saying this?" ”

"I understand that most of your hostility towards me comes from Feng Zhiyao." Xie Yuan Huo Ran got up, hesitated for a moment, and finally said with a calm face: "As long as you promise me this, Feng Zhiyao ...... I'll give it to you! ”
