"Your Highness doesn't need to blame yourself!" Xi Yao smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I am calm in my heart, there is nothing sad and wrong?" Although I am a weak woman, I also know a little about seeking power, I should not care about personal gains and losses, and it is my honor to do a little bit for you! ”

Chu Zheng raised his eyes and looked at the weak but calm and sincere woman in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned, although she was not as heroic and sassy as Lord Wenyin, but her temperament was graceful and generous.

When Chu Zheng was sluggish, Xi Yao got up and said, "Your Highness, I am here to make you feel inconvenienced, it is better to do this!" You get a reclining chair in front of the bed, and you and I can sleep instead? ”

"I should have said this, but I let you say it." Chu Zheng came back to her senses, her eyes were full of admiration, her appearance was thin and thin, which was pitiful, but her bones were high and tenacious, which showed that she was a very strong woman in her heart. "I'm a big man, what's the inconvenience? Okay, I'll go get a reclining chair tomorrow, and I'll sleep on the chair for the night tonight, or the people in the house will chew their tongues again! Saying that, he stepped forward to let Xi Yao sit down and help remove the crown of golden hairpins, he was a little in a hurry, and said embarrassedly: "You bear with it first, it hurts and says, these things are other tight, the hair is messy, simply... I'll put it down for you! ”

Xi Yao responded lightly, sat quietly, and felt strange in her heart, and she couldn't see that this Chu Zheng was thick and fine. A big man must be unfamiliar and busy with the beaded hairpin on a woman's hair bundle, and she also understands that he doesn't let the maid into the room for fear that it will cause unnecessary suspicion, but it's so difficult for him. Xi Yao thought about it and said, "It's okay if your hair is messy, you can rest assured, you don't have to worry about anything!"

Chu Zheng smiled when he heard this, and began to find the trick, he carefully removed the bead crown, the tension in his heart also relaxed, and said casually: "It will be better to get it later, and there is more!" In the future, every night I will sleep in a recliner, and you will sleep on the bed..."He saw that Xi Yao wanted to speak, and immediately stopped: "I am a man, how can I let you suffer such grievances?"

Xi Yao squirmed her lips, and finally nodded and said nothing.

Chu Zheng tied her up and the long hair that was messed up by him fell, and suddenly a long flowing and soft hair poured down, covering half of her body. Chu Zheng looked at the black and bright hair in front of him in a daze, his eyes were soft and melodious, and he seemed to be stuck in the memories of the past, and after a while, he muttered to himself: "The queen mother also has such soft hair, when I was a child, I nestled in her arms, and I could always smell the fragrance of flowers coming out of her hair... It was my happiest and carefree day, and later, the rooster crows and dances the sword, the sunrise learns the text, the night art of war, and the three watches will rest. I don't have time to chat with the queen mother, the queen mother always says that you should be determined when you are young, and the strong should be self-disciplined, and how to achieve great things without hard training? And later... There's no chance! ”

Xi Yao's heart was shocked, and it hit the bottom of her heart, she thought that her heart was like stagnant water, and she could no longer have a ripple. However, the lonely tone of the man behind her still aroused her trembling, he was born for the royal family, bearing the suffering and happiness of the people, and achieving a great cause. But his heart is like ordinary people, there is also fragility and pain, and when he is helpless and depressed, he has nowhere to confide in but to endure. He is more than thirty years old and has not yet set up a concubine, and he is still struggling alone, so he will get married tonight, but it is still a ploy, and it has nothing to do with love, which shows the loneliness in his heart.

Xi Yao listened silently, this night, accompanied by the bright and jumping red candle fire, she listened to the weakness of a strong man and understood the fragility of a man.

Although the queen was not his biological mother, she gave him unforgettable maternal love and care in his life, causing him to miss the unattainable warmth for the rest of his life.

That... Many years later, whenever Xi Yao thinks of the wedding night, she is always confused, is Chu Zheng drunk that night? But not drunk? Perhaps, this is fate, destined to be inescapable. However, without Feng Xuanjing's honest confession that night, she would never have crossed paths with him.

It is said that after Su Xiru turned around and left that night, Feng Xuanjing came back with a calm face, and Xi Yao hurriedly greeted him, and said regretfully: "Are you back?" The county lord has just left, if it is a moment earlier, maybe he can still meet him. ”

Feng Xuanjing glanced at it and said lightly: "I know!"

"You... Did you know the county lord was coming? Xi Yao was stunned and puzzled: "Then why don't you keep her?" She came to you specially because she was concerned about you, and if there is affection between you, you should not bear each other. She paused, seemed to understand something, and said, "Are you worried that Prince Chu will not let go!" Although I don't know the depth of the friendship between you and him, before the county lord and the prince of Chu are entangled, you have to think carefully! ”

Feng Xuanjing paced the courtyard with his hands in his hands, and the lantern under the eaves pulled his figure on the ground slender and melodious. After a long time, he finally said loudly: "I went to negotiate with Chu Zheng just now, I'll stay and let her go!"

"What?" Xi Yao was stunned for a moment, and she was even more puzzled, she frowned and asked, "She is a princess who is close to the county, how can you ask Prince Chu to let her go?" If she returns to her own country, she will definitely cause a storm, and I am afraid that she will be punished and imprisoned. You... Are you hurting her? Xuanjing, how can you be so confused? If Prince Chu can let her go, it means that he has no shackles, then... Why don't you ask him to fulfill you and leave the county lord..."

Feng Xuanjing slowly raised his head and smiled bitterly: "He let her go, not because he was unfettered, but because he focused on the overall situation. If she stays, she will only fall into a desperate situation, and she can only be reborn when she is gone..."He sighed: "Actually, I can't keep her, so it's better to let her go!" She has lofty goals, not just ordinary women... Husband and child..."

"If you don't fight for it, how can you say that you can't keep her?" Xi Yao said angrily: "Xuanjing, you have no quarrel with the world, you are indifferent to fame and fortune, and you are pretentious, but... What does this have to do with you fighting for a woman? You were like this before, and you still are—" She choked on her sideways and sobbed.

Feng Xuanjing was shocked, but he still didn't look back, how could he not hear the resentment in her words. Feng Xuanjing smiled lonely and said, "She is extremely arrogant, and it is indeed not something I can control." As he spoke, he sighed deeply, turned around slowly, seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said in a low voice: "You calm down and listen to me... Can? ”520

Xi Yao wiped away her tears, eased her emotions, and raised her head: "You said... I'm listening! ”

"Actually, she's not the princess of Wenyin, I think... The reason why she impersonated her name must have unknown hardships. Feng Xuanjing said in a deep voice: "Pretending to be the county lord to make peace with Rouran, this matter is not trivial, it is related to the peace covenant between the two countries, once it is exposed, it will be investigated for responsibility, and it will cause a war between the two countries."

Xi Yao was stunned, stared in disbelief, grabbed Feng Xuanjing's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "She... How could she be so confused? Ignoring your own life? Why is she so risky? ”

"The secret is unknown, and with her temperament, even if she asks, she may not be willing to tell it." Feng Xuanjing patted the back of her hand comfortingly, shook his head and said gloomily: "If this matter is exposed, I am only afraid that Chu Zheng will never let her go easily, this peace is one of Chu Zheng's means to compete for the throne." Gaining the support of the people of Rouran through political marriages, the support of the courtiers, this move made his brothers impatient and ready to move, and then... I'm afraid that one by one is about to fall into his scheme. ”

Regarding the royal family's struggle for power, how could Xi Yao not know? At this time, she finally understood why Feng Xuanjing asked Chu Zheng to let the county lord leave. After being stunned for a moment, she gradually came back to her senses and said, "It is precisely because of the true identity of the county lord of Wenyin that you made this decision when you negotiated the conditions with Prince Chu... Let her go? However, I'm worried... If you mention such a condition, will it make Prince Chu suspicious? ”

"At present, Chu Zheng will not be aware of it for the time being, so... The sooner she leaves, the better! Feng Xuanjing groaned and turned around, his steps slow and messy.

"Xuanjing, although I don't know how you met her? But I can see that... You're in love with her! Xi Yao said to his lonely back: "Just in case, next... I will replace the lord of Wenyin..."

"No way!" Feng Xuanjing's shoulders trembled slightly, and he said sharply: "It's too dangerous, you can't deal with it at all!"

Xi Yao suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe I will have some concerns in the past, and of course, I will also be afraid." However, don't forget, the past Xi Yao has been buried in the Moon Kingdom Prince's Mansion, and the current Xi Yao... It is the reborn Xiyao. These are all taught to me by you, Xuanjing, along the way, you have made me understand a lot, and I have also learned to let go of many unbearable pasts, get rid of sad and painful memories, I hope that my life will change from the moment I leave the Moon Country, is it... Don't you want me to do that? ”

Her resolute tone poked into his heart word by word, and he instantly sighed with emotion, and she finally walked out of the abyss of unbearable pain and completely got rid of the nightmarish shadow.

"Xuanjing, I also don't want you to keep carrying the shackles of guilt, I've been reborn, you can let it go!" Xi Yao stood behind him, not moving a single step, but her tone was sonorous and powerful, incompatible with her thin and slender body. "You have guarded me for many years, you have paid a lot, you have lost everything, this time, let me come... Do what you can to gain peace of mind! ”

Feng Xuanjing was always silent, but his heart was like waves, he should have been happy for Xi Yao's transformation, but he was a little caught off guard by her sudden change. Yes, she was right, he should have let go, she had imprisoned herself in the Prince's Mansion for many years, and the long and lonely days had caused her to be devastating both physically and mentally. Now, she can be reborn from the abyss of despair, and is he still in a mess of self-blame and self-guilt, cocooning himself?

Feng Xuanjing clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white, and it took a long time for him to have the strength and courage to say, "Okay!" It turns out that letting go of the shackles in your heart and the shackles on your body also require so much courage and strength. As if draining all his strength, he slowly released his fists, and he felt like he was in prostration. He said hoarsely: "You must be cautious, not reckless, and put your own consideration first."

"Hmm." Xi Yao was relieved, nodded and said: "Then tomorrow you ask Prince Chu to come out, the identity of the county lord must not be revealed, but I should talk to him about the county lord!" I believe that he will be worried about the importance in his heart, after all, if he finds someone to replace the county lord, there will definitely be trouble. He is a wise man, and he has always been strategic, and how can he not know that our actions will do him all good and no harm? ”

A smile of joy flashed across the corners of Feng Xuanjing's mouth, but she didn't expect her to see Chu Zheng in a hurry, and actually analyzed him so transparently, without leakage.

Needless to say, she was indeed reborn!

"Okay." Feng Xuanjing's tone finally relaxed and said, "I'll go see Hao'er!" As he spoke, he walked away quickly.

Xi Yao watched his distant figure gradually disappear from the bottom of her eyes, and her heart was filled with bitter sourness, he was her obsession, and it was also her catastrophe. But everything is gone, and the past is like the wind, vanishing.

There were tears in her eyes, but she looked up and smiled indifferently, from then on, she and him had nothing to do with Fengyue, no love, and no more worries!
