In the fog, I heard Long Xiao ask Yun Ying about my food, clothing and daily life, Yun Ying briefly answered one by one, in the end, it was the maid chosen by Chen Fu, she was not timid in the face of the emperor, she was calm and calm, and when she heard it, Long Xiao's face became more and more gloomy, and Yun Ying retreated silently after speaking, and did not forget to bring her to the door when she left.

Long Xiao walked towards me step by step, every step with an astonishing sense of oppression, I could even feel the anger surging in his chest when he looked at me, he stood still in front of my bed, and said in a non-reluctance to say: "If you want to know something, you can ask me, and if you practice yourself like this, it is plain for people to look down on you." ”

I knew that he had guessed the purpose of my call, and when I looked up, I asked, "Did he leave me a message?" ”

After a few days, I have accepted the fact that Li Xuan left me to lead the troops to fight, but I am still unwilling, without Long Xiao's instructions, it is useless for me to ask anyone, so I have to make this decision and listen to him tell me the whole story of the matter in person.

My voice was so hoarse that I was startled when I heard it, and now he didn't even bother to hide his anger, and his voice became fierce: "You are so stubborn that you don't eat or drink for a few days for his words?!" ”

He almost shouted, "You're going to die!" ”

I waved my hand at him weakly, frowned uncontrollably, and said, "Long Xiao, you are quiet, your roar makes me have a headache." ”

Hearing my words, the corners of Long Xiao's mouth twitched, and she couldn't get angry, and her expression became uncomfortable.

He caught a glimpse of the bowl of medicine placed at the head of my bed, and ordered, "Drink this bowl of medicine, and I will naturally tell you what you want to know." ”

I have to say that this trick is very effective, Yun Ying is busy with the medicine that I don't want to drink, just Long Xiao's words, I obediently picked up the medicine bowl, I didn't care how bitter this medicine was, I didn't even use the soup spoon, I just drank it all, and the right was to give him a step down. The medicine is bitter, and this medicine is so bitter that the roots of my tongue are numb.

The painful appearance of my appearance made him feel very good, and he fulfilled what he had just said, and said bluntly: "I have been thinking about this day since I ascended the throne. ”

I was puzzled: "The southern country has fallen, and the two countries have been at peace for the past few years, so why should there be another war?" "In the battle of the battlefield, how many families will be separated, and the sky will be separated? How many orphans and widows are dependent on each other? He is the king of a country, and he should put the welfare of the people first.

He looked at me with a woman's kind gaze, and openly laughed at my childishness: "I am not so dull. ”

"Three years ago, the Southern Emperor took the initiative to provoke a war and was defeated by Qi, and then the Southern Emperor sued for peace, sent Chu Hong to Great Qi as a hostage, and ceded five other cities; In private, he has never stopped his ambition to embezzle other countries, but he can't attack Daqi for a while. ”

"Chu Hong's gentleness and forbearance are no different from those of the Southern Emperor, how many people have been arranged to infiltrate Daqi behind his bewilderment of me, Qin Xi, this is not something that you can imagine as a woman living in a room."

I looked at him in confusion, and before I could digest his words, I heard him say slowly: "Concubine Li is a fine work sent by the southern country, how long do you think I can endure the southern country?" ”

When he said this, he was like a poisonous snake spitting red letters, which made people shudder, and a terrible thought flashed through my mind, and my voice trembled: "The child in the womb of Concubine Nali—"

He said coldly: "A small child, do you think I will let her give birth?" ”

I didn't dare to say any more, Concubine Li's almost crazy appearance in the secret room appeared in front of me, no matter how bad she was, she was the mother of a child, and she hated me so much because she thought I was the murderer who caused her miscarriage, it turned out that it was her pillow person who really caused her to lose her child.

I looked at Long Xiao like a monster, this is also his child, how can he judge the life and death of this child so calmly?

Long Xiao saw that I looked at him with this kind of eyes, and understood what I was thinking at the moment, so he said disapprovingly: "Even if she doesn't have a miscarriage, someone will take out this child, and it won't be my turn to make a move, this is the power of power." ”

I snorted coldly and said angrily: "According to what you mean, is Concubine Li herself not wanting this child?" ”

He disdainful: "Motherhood, she has no way to keep the child, but she can't protect herself, leaving the child will only be a drag, with her cleverness, she won't not understand this truth." gave birth to a child, whether it was Daqi or Nanguo, there was one more handle to contain her. ”

"If it were you, would you keep this child?"

My whole person is like falling into an ice cave, and my intuition is chilling all over my body, Concubine Li took advantage of the miscarriage to destroy the alliance between Long Xiao and Li Xuan's monarchs and ministers with the layout of the white fox fur, and then led me into the palace, and played a painful scene of losing my child in front of me, which almost cost me my life.

What kind of scheming woman is this?

These many associations were entangled in a mess in my mind, and I only asked: "Li Xuan, all this, he knows?" ”

No wonder in the face of my worries, Li Xuan was as calm as a pool of water from beginning to end, he knew everything, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to see me fall into the hands of Concubine Li, no wonder he blamed me so much.

Long Xiao did not deny it: "King Xuan took the initiative to enter the game, intending to test the courtiers close to the southern kingdom for me, and you are the only place where he miscalculated." ”

I said to myself, "He knew my worries, but he hid them from me, and it turned out that I was the only one who was a fool from beginning to end." ”

My pale face and frightened expression all fell on Long Xiao's eyes, he seemed to be unbearable, and finally he was reluctant to tell me more conspiracies.

"The ambition of the Southern Emperor is obvious, and even the crown prince who he abolished with his own hands many years ago has ventured to Daqi." Speaking of the three words of the abolished prince, he deliberately dragged out the tail note to check my reaction, but my brain was messed up and I didn't have time to take care of these: "It is only a matter of time before King Xuan goes to war, and this time I didn't force him to go with a knife on his neck." ”

The implication is that Li Xuan took the initiative to ask for war and crusade against the southern country. We know that he is both civil and military, and his indifference in playing with power has benefited from the iron-blooded training on the battlefield. My good husband, how many things are there that I can't even see?

I haven't come back to my senses after Long Xiao has been gone for a long time, and I have been kept in the dark for so long, and I suddenly knew the cause and effect, and I couldn't react for a while. The undercurrent of the court, Li Xuan's deliberate concealment, and Long Xiao's peace and discernment, I seem to have been caught in a big whirlpool, and I can't digest it chaotically.

I clenched the piece of paper in my hand, Li Xuan's vigorous handwriting was engraved in my heart, and these ten words made me inexplicably sad: I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head is inseparable.

In the afternoon, the sky was clear, Yunying prepared a table of snacks for me, she was busy and spent a lot of thought, I have always been lazy, and I was pampered by Li Xuan, looking at those delicate and delicious pastries and not interested, so I went to the bath, so I lived the life of a "prisoner".

The fragrant soup of the bath here is also living water, which is very similar to the natural hot spring in the mountain behind the Xuanwangfu, and even the taste of medicinal herbs in the pool water is exactly the same.

When I came back from bathing and changing, there was no cloud shadow busy in the room, but there was an extra half-old child, a boy about eight or nine years old, with a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes blinking and looking straight at me, as if he had to see flowers on my face.

Looking at his energetic appearance, he got rid of a little adult, and said in a "I know" tone: "They all said that the emperor hid a beautiful sister in the Hidden Moon Palace, so I secretly came here to see if my sister was really as beautiful as they said." ”

In less than three days, the news that I was "hidden" in the palace by Long Xiao has spread, and such a secluded Hidden Moon Hall prohibits outsiders from entering, making it mysterious and embarrassing, which really makes people think about it. No wonder some people wanted to find out, but they didn't expect that a child was sent over, and the child who grew up in the palace was a little simple?

Who made this kid come to listen to me, I couldn't guess and didn't bother to guess, I just sat down and picked up the soft and glutinous bird's nest dumplings and tasted it, the food in the palace seemed to be not much better than the Xuan Wangfu, but I haven't eaten much, I'm really hungry at this time, I eat seriously, and I don't pay attention to the little guy standing in front of me.

This kid is self-cooked, seeing that I don't care about him, he is not annoyed, pretending to choose a bench to sit opposite me, his body is straight, his big dark eyes purr, staring at my face pondering, looking carefully for a while, Tong Yan Wuji said: "No wonder the emperor ran to the Hidden Moon Palace as soon as he went to the court, Sister Beauty, you really seem to be a fairy, I have seen so many women, none of them can compare to you." ”

I laughed, I almost didn't spit out a mouthful of soup, how old a child, talking like a woman in the world, who taught him to be such a scoundrel? I have to say that the deserted Hidden Moon Hall is a little more interesting because of the arrival of this little ghost.

Yun Ying brought me the water that she rinsed her mouth with, obviously amused by this little person, covered her mouth and smiled: "The eighth prince is still a child, and he looks like a merry genius when he speaks it, and he will definitely like his daughter's family when he grows up in the future." ”

I know that this good-looking little ghost is Long Xiao's blood relative, the eighth prince Long Tuo.

In the year of the death of the first emperor, although Long Xiao was set as the crown prince early in the morning, he still started a cruel battle for the throne with other princes, and when he ascended the throne, all the princes were either executed or exiled, leaving only the young eight princes to stay in the palace, I heard that Long Xiao was very conniving with this only brother, except for the throne, he would be satisfied with whatever the eight princes wanted, so Long Tuo was still small but no one dared to underestimate him.

I secretly looked at the appearance of the Eighth Prince, Meiyu is somewhat similar to Long Xiao, and most of them look like the first emperor, but what overflows from the Eighth Prince's body is a warm feeling, not as cold as Long Xiao.

Compared with Long Xiao, my impression of the Eighth Prince is a little better, I asked Yun Ying to serve him evening bird's nest porridge, Yun Ying smiled and boasted: "The Eighth Prince is really a lucky star, you are here, even the princess is no longer a cold look." ”

I don't know if she is pleasing me or pleasing Long Tuo, I am still faintly silent, Long Tuo did not see it, picked up the spoon and drank a few sips obediently, his demeanor showed the good upbringing of the royal family, and the grade was immature but had an inviolable demeanor, which showed Long Xiao's teaching to him.

I said, "Is it delicious?" It was clear and tasteless, but he said sweetly: "With a beautiful sister with you, it is naturally delicious." ”

Originally, Yunying also prepared fresh melons and fruits, but Long Tuo smiled and pulled me out of the house, he was lively and very close to me, compared to me, he seemed to be more familiar with the Hidden Moon Palace, and soon found an open courtyard, the flowers in late autumn were shining, the falling flowers were colorful, and the petals of various colors were spread all over the ground, but it was a different kind of beauty.

He looked confident, waved his hand and summoned the guards standing beside him: "Sister Beauty, do you *shoot* arrows?" I saw him skillfully take out an arrow from the quiver, put it on the string at will, pull the bow out of a perfect arc with both hands, and did not hesitate to aim at the bull's-eye of vermilion a few feet away.

Only eight or nine years old to have such a good skill, thinking of his little hand when he pulled the cocoon in my palm, I couldn't help but pause slightly, smile away, Yingying learned his appearance on the bow with an arrow, effortlessly pulled the bow to aim, an arrow was issued, the action was like flowing water, the arrow split the arrow that Long Tuo had just *shot* out, and it was also deeply *inserted* into the bull's-eye.

Seeing that I am a step ahead, his eyes suddenly lit up, obviously the arrow I *shot* aroused his competitive spirit, and he wrote the battle book majestically: "I thought that the beautiful sister was weak, but now the prince has to have a competition with his sister, and my sister should not let me." ”

His small body burst out with fresh strength, I took a deep breath, exhaled the turbid breath that had been suffocated in my chest for a long time, and suddenly felt refreshed and in a better mood: "You say that you will compete." "Quan should play with this child for a while.

Yunying has also arrived at this time, and we have agreed to compete with one big and one young, and she has the mentality of watching a good show, so she almost clapped her hands.

Long Tuo's two arrows this time together, it is bound to win, the two long arrows seem to be one, flying forward together, he is proud, but unfortunately the arrow has not touched the target in the air by my arrow intercepted, both fell to the ground.

Looking at the empty bow in my hand, he stomped his foot fiercely, not convinced, and then took out three arrows and put them on the bow, and pulled the bow to the fullest, trying to win me by it, but the bowstring was broken before the clinker could let go, and what was worse was that the three arrows that were sent out flew in different directions, one of which went straight towards the cloud shadow, and it was about to cut her face.
