Zheng Boyou's midnight visit was unexpected, and he could never have imagined that such a scene would happen, he sat at the head of the bed and she sat by the window. Zheng Boyou hadn't fully woken up from the dinner party, he almost couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, and he couldn't imagine how Bao Xi got out of the palace, but he couldn't ask her, all he could care about at this moment was why Bao Xi came here?

What is she going to say?

"In the afternoon at Dazai Palace, did my uncle tell you about Qin Hou Yingde sending troops from Qin State?" Bao Xi asked, finally bringing the topic back to the topic, Zheng Boyou nodded, and Bao Xi continued to ask, "What about borrowing Jiuding to revitalize the monarch's prestige?" ”

"I didn't mention it," Zheng Boyou shook his head, his brows tightly locked together was a deep Sichuan character, "What Jiuding did Qin Hou borrow?" Isn't it...... The soldiers of the Qin State borrowed the pickaxe capital to ask for the king's Jiuding? He took a deep breath when he said this, the Great Zhou etiquette system is strict, the hierarchy is not allowed to be transgressed, Qin Hou is just a prince, but he wants to ask the king for Jiuding, isn't this to expose his ambition to the world?

Bao Xi nodded.

"In this way, the heart of the tiger and wolf of the Qin State is not going to be hidden?" Zheng Boyou was a little worried, at this time, there were not many princes who could listen to the dispatch and dispatch of the court, and there were not many who would be loyal to the lord, "You...... But that's why I was called to Beijing. ”

"Yes, but not really." Bao Xi said.

"What do you mean?" Zheng Boyou was a little confused by what Bao Xi said, and suddenly remembered something, and his pupils suddenly began to shrink, "Yingde wants to lend Jiuding from your hands?" ”

"Yes," said Bao Xi, "the king left the palace that day and handed over the right to manage the harem to me. Now this Jiuding should be in charge of the queen, and the queen decides this matter, but now because of the king's decentralization, Yingde has decided to open up to me! ”

"Is the information accurate?" Zheng Boyou asked.

"* Not far from ten," said Bao Xi, "it would be best if it was false information. ”

"It's despicable to win virtue! Killing your father is in the front, rebellion is in the back, and you will be dragged into the water! Zheng Boyou clenched his fists, "If you borrow this Jiuding, then how will the king explain to you in the future?" If you don't borrow it, how can you explain it to the world! As he said this, he stood up angrily and shouted, which startled Bao Xi, and turned to look at Zheng Boyou, who was only wearing a white coat, Zheng Boyou was stunned at first, but when he saw Bao Xi look at himself and don't turn his head, he suddenly remembered something, and dragged his clothes and hurriedly put them on his body, although he was still disheveled, it was better than just now.

Bao Xi let out a pang of breath gently, which became more and more obvious in the quiet room, Zheng Boyou tied up his clothes and turned to look at Bao Xi, she pressed the back of her cold hand against her cheek, her every move was exceptionally clear in the moonlight, such a shy gesture was particularly cute, Zheng Boyou forgot that he and Bao Xi were a minister and a king, and coughed twice, "Let you see and laugh!" ”

Bao Xi pursed her lips and turned around again, shaking her head, "It's not the right time for me to come." ”

Zheng Boyou walked towards the window, the sound of dragging footsteps made a "rustling" sound, the atmosphere in this room at the moment made people feel weird, no one spoke, let the time be quiet. Zheng Boyou leaned on the window frame, looking down at the silhouette of Bao Xi in the dark, and muttered for a long time, "I haven't seen you for half a year, you have lost a lot of weight." ”

"In the past six months, there have been too many things happening in the palace," Bao Xi said softly, sitting in front of Zheng Boyou, he always felt a little cramped and uneasy, and constantly adjusted his posture.

"Is it difficult to bring Nian'er?" Zheng Boyou asked.

"He's very well-behaved," Bao Xi shook her head, "I can't speak now, but I've learned to read people's faces first." When she said this, her face glowed with a soft white light, although she was not her own son, but it could inspire the motherhood in the depths of a woman's heart.

"I heard Zhao Shangqing say, Nian'er grabbed a wooden bowl when he drew lots?" Zheng Boyou asked.

"Well, because of this, my uncle has lost his temper with me a lot," Bao Xi sighed.

"It's not because of this that there is a conflict with Zhao Shangqing, right?" Zheng Bo comforted him with his words, "Now that you are alone in the palace, it is equivalent to fighting alone, if you lose Zhao Shangqing's life-saving talisman again, I am afraid that this road will become more and more difficult!" ”

"So, when I can, I endure it." Bao Xi is aware of her situation.

"Zhao Shangqing and his ......" Zheng Boyou hesitated whether he should say this or not, and finally felt unhappy, and said eloquently, "Unscrupulous means are unscrupulous if the goal is not achieved, but since the original intention is for the good of the king, his methods are always useful methods, which are rough and unpleasant, and they cannot be denied." ”

"If it's not like this again...... Bao Xi said this, biting her lower lip tightly, if it wasn't like this again, I'm afraid that Ji Gongyan would have sneaked out of the palace to kill Uncle Zhao that day, why would he let him stay until this moment? But Bao Xi couldn't say this to Zheng Boyou, and even she gradually discovered that Ji Gongyan's fierce and ruthless wrist had become a secret that she and Ji Gongyu knew, and Bao Xi's hand pinched the arm of her other hand, "Uncle Zheng, we digressed." ”

Zheng Boyou had already realized this, but he didn't mean to take the topic back, his hands were propped up on the window frame, looking at the shadowy woods outside the window, showing his teeth and claws under the dark night, which looked particularly terrifying, "Sometimes think about it, you are just the same age as Twenty-seven, you are just a child, but you have such a heavy shackle on your shoulders." People often forget your age and forget that you shouldn't have to bear this. ”

"What do you think...... Twenty-seven days are easy? Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou and said, "She has paid too much for you, when I sent her to the sedan chair that day, she was still a girl who had one thing to say and two to say, as long as it was reasonable, she dared to refute it with the king, but now?" Is she still like this? ”

Zheng Boyou suddenly fell silent.

"She's changing for you, what do you do to her?" Bao Xi stood up and looked at Zheng Boyou and asked, "Every letter she sent me, the envelope only contained the news of how you were in distress, and she had only one purpose, to ask me to help you!" ”

"You help me because of Qin Guo!" Zheng Boyou suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Not bad!" Bao Xi nodded, "The Qin State is dominant, and there is no army in the world that can compete with it, Rao is the rich Chu State, but he doesn't know anything about the march and war." And Zheng State is located in the center, adjacent to the territory of our Great Zhou, and the vassal states bordering it are also the most, which can be regarded as an important place for soldiers to fight! ”

"So on that day, the king tried to depose me!" Zheng Boyou said.

"It's just that I didn't expect that everything was out of the king's expectations that day, so I couldn't help you in Uncle Zheng's position." Bao Xi continued Zheng Boyou's words and said, now that this incident has happened, there is no need to cover it up, and then say some high-sounding and nice things for Ji Gongyan.

"At first, I thought about replacing all the original scholars and doctors and using my own hands to take charge of Zheng Guo's internal affairs, but ......" Zheng Boyou paused, "I was ordered to go to the pickaxe capital, but you told me that Zheng Qizhi may not have died, which means that my position as a prince today is probably to give up the virtuous one day, so I didn't do anything!" Zheng Guo's internal affairs arrangements, if they can't move, they won't move, but they don't want these people to gain an inch and cross me to form an alliance with the Jin State! As he spoke, he slapped his hand heavily on the wooden window frame.

"Are you waiting?" Bao Xi understood the meaning of Zheng Boyou's words.

"Yes, I'm waiting for someone to let me finish!" Zheng Boyou turned around and looked at Bao Xi, "I didn't rely on your ability to gain a firm foothold in Zheng Guo, but because you and the king didn't dare to move!" If the king wants me to hand over power, I will do it, but not because I respect the king's ability and obey his arrangement, but because I can't let people who have nothing to do with this matter fall into conflict! ”

"Don't worry," Bao Xi said, "if the king is going to change in the future, I will also persuade him!" ”

"Does it work?" Zheng Boyou took a step towards Bao Xi, his breath hit his face, and the current scene was really ambiguous, "He is a king, and he is arbitrary, but his arbitrariness is usually right!" Let Zheng Qizhi be the prince of Zheng State, which may be conducive to him taking back all the rights from the princes as soon as possible and truly unify the land of Kyushu! ”

"Impossible," Bao Xi took a step back, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and did not say any more, if it weren't for this expedition for Ji Gongyan to find out that Zheng Qizhi was uncontrollable, I was afraid that Zheng Boyou would have to wait a while if he wanted to take the position. It is not appropriate to talk to Uncle Zheng about this, Ji Gongyan must have pinched Zheng Boyou's weakness in order to be so relieved, and this weakness is only afraid that it will be praised! Bao Xi felt that it was time for her to leave and she couldn't stay here any longer, so she turned the topic to the place where she hadn't finished talking just now, "Now I invite Uncle Zheng to Beijing, just to make a gesture for the Qin State, as long as everyone knows that Uncle Zheng has come to the capital with great fanfare, it will be enough!" ”

"Jiuding, do you borrow or not?" Zheng Boyou asked.

"Borrow!" Bao Xi smiled and pursed her lips, "Why don't you borrow it?" ”

"Aren't you afraid that the king will be harsh in the future?" Zheng Boyou asked, "Have you ever thought that this matter was designed to embarrass you!" ”

"If I borrow it, I also want him to hold it steadily!" Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou and said with a smile, "Yingde's move is nothing more than to trap me in injustice, I don't want to pull him into the water, if I want to die, how can I do it if I don't pull a cushion?" ”
