In the prince's tent, the man's men sent away the barracks guards before he turned to light the lamp on the table.

The woman in black watched as the fading lights slowly illuminated his handsome face, just as the last time she saw him in the luxurious palace, just as she had seen him in the rain outside the temple a long time ago.

The man turned around and smiled softly at her, "It's okay now, Mi'er." ”

Wen Miqing was stunned, although she already knew that the man had guessed her identity, but she couldn't help but be surprised when she heard her name come out of the man's mouth.

"How do you know it's me?" Wen Mi's brows furrowed, still maintaining a trace of vigilance.

The man approached her, Wen Mi immediately dodged to the other side, and the man paused again, with a layer of loss in his eyes: "Mi'er, with the relationship between you and me, how can I not recognize you?" ”

Scenes of those quiet years flashed in front of me, Wen Mi's heart was slightly sour, time flies, and those beautiful pastes can never go back.

"Li Xu, what is the relationship between you and me? It's just a king and a minister, and it was and is and will be in the future. If you save me today, then there will only be a little more friendship between you and me, and I will repay you in the future, thank you. ”

Wen Mi's words were resolute, just like the reunion in the East Palace that day, her eyes were full of strangeness and alienation towards him, which made him feel cold. Li Xu stepped forward a few steps forward and grabbed Wen Mi, who was leaving, and hugged her into his arms, reluctantly, as if panicked, as if begging: "Mi'er, don't treat me like this, you weren't like this before!" In the past, you would only smile at me, reluctant to be angry with me, you said that if you are angry, as long as I coax you, I know that I broke the appointment, but I was delayed by important matters, if I knew your family......"

"Something important?" Wen Mi pushed Li Xu away fiercely, staring at him coldly, "The important thing is that you are going to marry your virtuous princess!" I'm just a folk girl, how can I be qualified to let the virtuous king ...... Oh no, now it should be called His Royal Highness the Prince, how can he let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come down to the appointment? ”

Li Xu was stunned, Wen Mi had already opened the curtain and left. He knew that Wen Mi hated him and would not forgive him again, otherwise when they met again in the East Palace, Wen Mi would already be his.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," a figure suddenly appeared on the curtain, "The Crown Princess sent someone to ask, when His Highness will pass, it is not early, it is time to rest." ”

Li Xu waved his hand and did not answer. It should be such an attitude, and the person outside the curtain should also leave clearly, but the figure did not move.

Li Xu asked unhappily: "What else is the matter?" ”

Only then did the people outside the curtain cautiously say: "Your Highness, tonight's assassination plan failed, and the queen mother is already angry, and now she is going to His Royal Highness King Ning." ”

Li Xu frowned, he should have asked about this matter earlier, but he didn't expect to meet Wen Mi in the camp, so he delayed for a while. But how could such a seamless plan fail?

*

Originally, the bottle of medicine found from Yu Fang's body was not poison, and Zhao Jiu and Guo Qi thought that intercession with Li Yun would save Yu Fang. Unexpectedly, after the two of them came back from the woods, a guard came to report that Yu Fang still had a bottle of medicine hidden on his body, which was a highly poisonous thing.

Guo Qi took Zhao Jiu to see Li Yun immediately, but was stopped by the guards guarding the tent, saying that Li Yun only let Zhao Jiu go in alone.

Zhao Jiu entered Li Yun's camp, but she didn't see Yu Fang, and Li Yun didn't speak, so she had to kneel all the time and couldn't get up. I don't know how long it took, she knelt so much that her legs began to go numb, so she took advantage of Li Yun's inattention to sit on the ground and work loosely.

At this time, Li Yun suddenly put down the things in his hand and raised his head, Zhao Jiu and a spirit as if he had been caught in class, and quickly returned to his knees and erect, pretending that everything had not happened just now.

"All right, this king has seen it."

Li Yun supported the corner of his forehead with his hand, and his gaze fell lightly on Zhao Jiu. Zhao Jiu's eyes lit up, and he vibrated and said: "Your Highness, I'm not tired, I just scratched an itch!" ”

"Really?" Li Yun hooked the corners of his mouth lightly, picked up the booklet in his hand again, and said casually, "If you are not tired, continue to kneel." ”

“？！” Zhao Jiu hurriedly changed his words, "But, Your Highness! ”

"Huh?"

Li Yun raised his eyelids and looked at her again, Zhao Jiu didn't pretend anymore, squeezed out an embarrassing smile, and said curtly: "Tired or not, it's just a little ...... Sour ......"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Li Yun finally spoke slowly: "Get up." ”

"Hey, Your Highness Xie!"

Li Yun only heard Zhao Jiugang say something excitedly, and there was a "plop" sound. He looked up again, only to see Zhao Jiu sitting on the ground, his smile even more embarrassed.

"Hahaha...... Hemp, numbness......"

Li Yun stood up and walked up to Zhao Jiu, bent down and lifted one of her arms to pull her up. Zhao Jiu thought that he would be able to stand firm with Li Yun's strength, but he didn't expect that the strength of his leg numbness was quite large, and as soon as he stood up, he lost his support point and fell towards Li Yun, and happened to fall into Li Yun's arms.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and Zhao Jiu was pressed against Li Yun's warm chest, and only his heartbeat could be heard.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The rhythm is steady and powerful, the sound of a young man's heartbeat. Zhao Jiu's ears began to burn slightly, and even his breathing became rapid, and the good smell of the young man's body continued to linger on the tip of his nose, like an addictive drug.

"Are you going to strangle this king?"

A jewel-like voice sounded overhead, with a slight chill. Zhao Jiu came back to his senses, Mom, what the hell is she doing, the demon king's arms dare to pounce, don't die!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, Your Highness forgive me." Zhao Jiu hurriedly loosened the hand around Li Yun's waist and grabbed his two arms, raised his face and apologized aggrievedly.

Li Yun's heart moved slightly, which reminded him of the situation in the Cloud Shadow Hall that day. That day, Zhao Jiu also looked at him like this, a small face without powder was like a morning glow reflecting snow, his eyes were cut water, and he was as full as a lake, which was pitiful.

He was suddenly a little curious, what would this woman look like when she returned to women's clothes?

"Your Royal Highness, the queen is here."

At this time, someone outside the tent spoke. Li Yun lowered his eyes and glanced at it, Zhao Jiu reacted, and quickly let go of the hand that was holding his arm. Li Yun sat back in front of the case, and Zhao Jiu hurriedly wanted to step aside, but he could only limp away. When she stood up, Li Yun spoke again: "Then don't you invite the queen mother in." ”

The queen walked in gracefully, and her kind eyes looked like Guanyin Niangniang of Pudu sentient beings.

"Old Seven is tired? You all worked hard to find Xi'er tonight, but fortunately, you all came back safely, and the palace can rest assured. The palace asked the imperial kitchen to boil some soup, and now it is still cold at night, so I will drink some soup to warm up when I come back from a trip. ”

The palace maid who followed in presented the soup in her hand, and Zhao Jiu subconsciously went to take it, Li Yun didn't like the palace people to serve her, and the personal guards were not in the tent at this time, so she naturally did this work. It's just that his eyes inadvertently touched the queen's, as if a piece of flesh was about to be stripped of his body, which made Zhao Jiu's heart sink suddenly.

Could it be that the queen already knew about Yu Fang poisoning her?

No, if that's all there is, the queen won't even hide it......

Zhao Jiu suddenly realized something, and sighed in his heart, did the queen think that the failure of those killers in the forest to assassinate Li Yun had something to do with her?!

Li Yun raised the corner of one side of his mouth, and said with a little sarcasm: "This king has been back in the palace for a while, and I have never seen Niangniang step into the Cloud Shadow Hall on weekdays. ”

Li Yun's temperament, no matter what he says, can still talk to people with a smile is polite. Although the queen is angry in her heart, it is not the time to tear her face at this moment, and she still has to do enough work on the surface.

"Old Seven, are you blaming this palace for ignoring you on weekdays?" As if she had a sentence of disgust, the queen smiled dignifiedly, "When you were a child, your father wanted to send you to the palace to be raised, but you refused, and you only loved to go to the barracks in the wilderness, and you were not close to the palace." I knew that you were a grudge, and this palace should have tied you to your side since you were a child and taught you with my own hands, and I wouldn't talk to this palace like this today. ”

If you are not a close elder, how can you dare to say this? If he were an ordinary junior, he would have already gotten closer to the queen. But Li Yun is not that ordinary person.

"Niangniang is wrong," he smiled at the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes, "If you have tied this king to you since you were a child, where will you have the opportunity to teach this king?" This king is a grudge, and it will inevitably turn your Yong'an Palace upside down, in order to avenge your revenge for framing my mother. ”

The queen's face changed instantly, she knew that Li Yun would not leave any mercy, but she didn't expect to be so ruthless, and she didn't even bother to maintain the apparent calm.

"King Ning!" The queen's voice rose a few points, paused, and returned to her dignified appearance, "Is there some misunderstanding about this palace?" ”

Li Yun's tone also became impatient: "Niangniang doesn't have to act here, just say what the purpose is." It is reasonable to say that Niangniang is the queen mother of this king, and this king should be to meet Niangniang's request, but if Niangniang is here for the assassins in the forest, then this king can only tell Niangniang that they have all been killed by this king. ”

The queen's body trembled, and she was stunned for a moment, Li Yun's last sentence was too ruthless, like a knife out of the sheath, and the person she wanted to kill was her.

The eunuch on the side shouted at the top of his voice: "King Daring Ning, you dare to talk to the queen mother about some assassin!" ”

Li Yun sneered, didn't look at the eunuch, but said to the queen slowly: "So, this king is so bold, does the queen want to go to her father and cure this king for a big crime of disrespect?" ”

It's really arrogant.
