Chapter Twenty-Three: Face Saint

Li Xin got out of the carriage, stood on the rut, looked at the wide open city gate, and frowned coldly.

"Let all the carriages and horses stop against the official road, don't get in the way of others, give me a horse, and wait for you to enter the palace with me."

"Yes, master."

The guards at the gate of the city were also cold, and looking at the stretch of procession that had suddenly stopped, they saw a woman in red wearing a silver fox and riding a tall horse. The tall and handsome guards beside her did not have the slightest glimmer of light.

The woman's black hair was tied behind her and she wore a half-silver mask. Riding a BMW, I came slowly.

Luoyin took out the token, "Yunzhou Champion Hou." ”

The soldier guarding the city woke up from the beauty and hurried to let him go.

At this time, twilight fell, and there were not many people in the city.

Li Xin followed the path in his memory and ran all the way to the palace wall.

Dismounted, Luoyin handed over the token, and revealed his identity.

I saw that the man glanced at Li Xin, who was leaning on the white horse, and then invited his boss.

The boss just glanced at it and walked straight to Li Xin.

"Long time no see, Champion Miss Hou Liwu."

"It turned out to be the deputy commander of the forbidden army, Meng Temple."

The two smiled similarly, one probing, the other cold.

Meng Si looked at the woman in his memory, pursed his lips, felt a little guilty, and said, "According to the rules, Fifth Miss, your mask must be taken off, and for the safety of Your Majesty, the lower officials must make sure that Fifth Miss herself can be released." ”

A sword was horizontal between the two, and Li Xin, who was half blocked by the voice, glared angrily at the high-ranking official in Beijing in front of him, "Presumptuous!" ”

Meng Si looked at this man who dared to move his sword in front of him, and the inviolability in his eyes was self-evident.

The two sides are tense, and no one will let go.

"Falling sound."

"Master?" Luoyin looked at Li Xin, and under his feet, he didn't take a single step.

Li Xin tugged at his sleeve and said, "Stand down." ”

Luoyin was helpless, so she had to retreat with her sword in her hand, staying behind Li Xin, glaring angrily at the imperial city commander who asked her master to take off his mask.

Just as Li Xin reached out to take off his mask, a bright yellow appeared in his field of vision.

"Commanded."

With a familiar voice, Li Xin's heart stopped for half a breath.

Stunned, he returned to the dead silence and saluted sideways with the Meng Temple.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Commander Meng," Prince Chen Chen's gaze turned to the woman in red, "cousin~sister"

"Commander Meng wears many hats, doesn't he still have to go to Lord Liu's mansion to deliver the decree? If it's late, I'm afraid it will delay my father's major event. ”

"Your Highness, the ministers will go later, and there won't be much delay."

Meng Si looked at Li Xin, "Lady, please take off your mask." ”

Li Xin didn't notice this sentence at all, she just looked at this suddenly appeared figure, his hand in his sleeve was still clenched into a fist, she could feel it.

She wanted to stop it, but it was just a mask, and she never cared.

Seeing Zhao Chen whisper a few words, Meng Si left, looking panicked.

"Commander Meng is gone, take your cousin with you."

Zhao Chen glanced at the guard behind Li Xin who was looking at him vigilantly, "He can only stay here." ”

Li Xin nodded, motioned for Luoyin to wait, and then followed Zhao Chen into the palace gate.

Zhao Chen walked in front, and Li Xin walked behind.

The footsteps of the two were not in a hurry, and the palace people along the road avoided saluting from afar.

Li Xin glanced down, where he looked,

Suddenly, the person in front of him stopped, and Li Xin also stopped.

"Don't you have anything to tell me? Ah Wan~"

Li Xin looked at him, and in four years, he had changed a lot.

At the age of seventeen, at the age of twenty-one, she was not there when he and the crown were married.

"Back to Your Highness, no."

"Do you have to talk to me like that? Ah Wan~"

Li Xin didn't say anything, just said, "There was no need for His Highness to make a move just now, it was just a mask." ”

"It's not just masks."

If it weren't for that scar, they wouldn't have been thousands of miles away.

Zhao Chen looked at Li Xin, wanting to see a trace in her eyes, even a little bit.

Unfortunately, no, those eyes were so cold that they didn't have temperature.

Seeing that someone was walking towards here, Li Xin took two or three steps back, and then saluted.

"Your Highness still has business, and the officials in the palace still remember."

"Remember, but you'll never go to the East Palace again~"

"The lower official is a foreign minister, if the land of the East Palace appears, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate."

"Yes, you are the general who guards one side, if you walk with Lone, I am afraid that you will be suspected of forming a party." Zhao Chen was a little self-deprecating, unwilling to touch these cold eyes.

Li Xin looked at Zhao Chen and sighed in his heart, he clearly knew, why is this so?

Looking at the palace woman who was walking towards here behind her, Li Xin saluted and said goodbye and left directly.

Zhao Chen wanted to stop him, but he didn't have any reason.

And, as she said, if she was too implicated, her father wouldn't do anything to herself, but what about her?

There are a lot of border generals who have been pulled off their horses, and he can't let her get into such trouble.

It's good to protect her, and watching from a distance always feels better.

"Your Highness~"

Zhao Chen turned around, and it was the crown princess Wei who spoke.

"How did you get here?"

Wei's face was stunned, thinking of the woman he saw from a distance just now, he couldn't really see it, and he didn't know if it was the woman.

Now that she had received the news, she somehow ended up here. Along the way, she kept comforting herself, isn't she just a woman, there will be more in the future, why care.

But she still couldn't hold back her heart and walked over with someone.

"The concubine is about to visit the queen mother."

"Hmm." Zhao Chen looked at Wei Shi and saw that she had a real smile on her face, thinking that he had been busy with the snow disaster in the two lakes recently, and he hadn't seen her for a long time.

"Lone with you."

Wei Shi was a little surprised, and obediently stepped forward and followed the prince's side, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Zhao Chen took the umbrella and opened his thin lips lightly, "Come here." ”

Wei slowly approached, only to feel that this winter was not so cold.

--

Li Xin went to wait outside the palace, and the eunuch and palace maid on duty brought her a stove.

There are many eunuchs and palace maids watching the excitement under the corridor, whispering.

After waiting for a while, the chief eunuch came out, waited for those palace maids and eunuchs who didn't know what to do, and then walked to Li Xin's side, "Female marquis, please come here." ”

Li Xin's entry was in the side hall, and there was still a voice in the main hall, and it seemed that Emperor Xuan was still dealing with state affairs.

"The maid waits here for a while, and the old slave has to enter the palace to wait."

Li Xin arched his hand, "It's troublesome to Gonggong Wan." ”

"The maiden is still as polite as when she was a child."

Li Xin smiled and did not speak.

After seeing Wanquan leave, he looked at this side hall.

The soft collapse of the two sides can rest, and there is a place for Huan to wash his hands. Li Xin sat down, and immediately a little eunuch stepped forward to serve tea.

The tea was changed twice, and the voice of the hall was about to fall.

Slowly someone walked over here, and seeing the bright yellow slightly old figure, Li Xin got up and knelt down, "Your Majesty." ”

"Get up, I didn't see how polite you were when I was a child~"

It's still that kind voice, but it's a little tired, and the snow disaster in the two lakes is indeed a bit tricky.

Li Xin got up.
