Chapter 264: On the Eve of the Storm

Sima Rui was dressed in a black fox fur, and he stood motionless in the cold wind and looked at Xie Langhua intently.

Seeing Xie Langhua turn to look at him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he walked towards Xie Langhua.

Xie Langhua looked at Sima Rui Yingying and said, "Why is His Royal Highness King Rui here?"

"I'm here to see you. Sima Rui looked at Xie Langhua and said softly, he didn't have any expression on his face, but it was difficult to look away when his eyes fell on Xie Langhua.

"His Royal Highness King Rui, who is freezing and cold, come with me into the house and have a cup of hot tea!" Xie Langhua actually had something to say to Sima Rui.

"Good. Sima Rui didn't even think of a response.

Xie Langhua lifted the lantern, she took a deep look at the place where Cui Su's ashes were, a touch of unspeakable sadness flashed in her eyes, and she turned around and left with Sima Rui.

Xie Langhua and Sima Rui stood side by side, Xie Langhua was on the left and Sima Rui was on the right.

Sima Rui glanced at Xie Langhua intently, took the lantern in her hand, and illuminated the road under Xie Langhua's feet.

It was Xie Langhua who took Sima Rui to follow the road.

This is how it should be.

Xie Langhua glanced up at Sima Rui, she slowly lowered her eyes and didn't say much.

The charcoal fire in the house was very warm, and there was boiling water on the charcoal fire.

Xie Langhua made a pot of tea very skillfully, and she didn't know what tea Sima Rui liked to drink, so she brewed the rain before the dragon well that she drank every day.

The two sat next to each other, and Xie Langhua raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for Sima Rui.

Sima Rui took the tea and took a sip.

Xie Langhua raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Are you feeling better?" asked Sima Rui as he looked at Xie Langhua intently.

Under Sima Rui's gaze, Xie Langhua smiled faintly: "Thank you for your care, Your Royal Highness King Rui, my body is much better." ”

This is very polite, but it is also very alienated.

Sima Rui slowly put down the teacup in his hand, he frowned slightly and looked at Xie Langhua and said, "I thought we were at least friends now." ”

Regarding Xie Langhua's alienated appearance, he didn't feel very good in his heart.

"Naturally. Xie Langhua looked at Sima Rui and said.

Sima Rui stretched his brows at this time.

Xie Langhua then said: "But you can't forget about humility." ”

Sima Rui glanced at Xie Langhua speechlessly, and his eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Say whatever you want!" he knew she had something to say when she invited him in for tea.

Xie Langhua raised her hand to add some tea for Sima Rui, she looked at Sima Rui intently and said, "Your Highness thinks that the scholars and the royal power may be safe?"

Xie Langhua always knew that there would be a battle between the scholars and the royal power.

In the previous life, whether it was Wang Xuan or Sima Rui, it had nothing to do with her, and she didn't care about their life and death at all.

But this life is different, Wang Xuan is kind to her, Sima Rui is also kind to her, she doesn't want to watch the two of them fight.

If that day comes.

How will she choose?

This incident really worried her.

Today, Wang Xuan said very clearly, their scholars hope that Sima Yi will succeed to the throne.

But she knew that without the help of her and the Xie family, Sima Rui would have sat in that position, and it was impossible to disobey her destiny.

"The nobles and the kingship are like two tigers lying on a mountain. Sima Rui said without hesitation, he didn't want to deliberately hide something, this was what he really thought.

The scholars stick to the rules, sit on huge wealth, and have the ability to cover the sky with one hand, which has always been a major problem for the royal family.

In just a few days, Wang Xuan changed the world in Xiliang, and he did not stir up a little wave, and his heart was also very shocked.

In addition to being shocked, he was also a little frightened.

Xie Langhua slowly lowered her eyes, and she said softly: "Two tigers must be injured when they fight!"

She died early in her previous life, and she didn't know whether it was the royal power that won or the scholars who won, but no matter who won, the process must be extremely bloody.

Sima Rui didn't speak.

Xie Langhua is right, but no one can change this status quo.

"Can't we coexist in peace?" Xie Langhua looked at Sima Rui and asked, she really didn't want to watch Sima Rui and Wang Xuan fight.

"Even if I want to be a clan?" Sima Rui said word by word, the expression on his face was extremely solemn.

Xie Langhua smiled desolately: "You and Wang Xuan are both kind to me, how do you want me to choose at that time, do you want me to watch one of you die?"

Sima Rui's heart moved slightly, he sighed and said, "Whether it's me or Wang Xuan, we can't change this status quo." ”

Xie Langhua was silent, she knew that Sima Rui was telling the truth.

The Cui family and the Chen family have already intervened, and the Wang family will not sit idly by, and no one will take a step back when it comes to life and death.

"No matter what people do in this life, as long as they have no regrets, if it really comes to that day, you don't need to be in a dilemma for us, since there is no way back, life or death depends on the destiny of heaven. Sima Rui didn't know Xie Langhua's thoughts, but many times they had no choice but to follow the trend.

"I don't want to watch Wang Xuan die, and I don't want to watch you die. Xie Langhua's request is so simple, but it is as difficult as the sky.

She tried every means to pull Sima Hong off the throne, firstly, to avenge Ah Xuan, and secondly, she was afraid that Sima Hong would make a move on Wang Xuan.

But if she is replaced by Sima Rui, she still can't change the situation, what should she do?

"I promise you, if the Shi clan doesn't take the lead, I will never make a move, okay?" Sima Rui looked at Xie Langhua intently and said, this is the only way he can promise her.

Xie Langhua glanced at Sima Rui deeply, she didn't speak.

Sima Rui has already said this, what else can she say?

The gentry have already struck.

They will do everything they can to put Sima Yi on the throne.

"Listening to Wang Xuan's tone, the Cui family and the Chen family have already stretched their hands to the court, you have to be more careful. Xie Langhua said slowly, her voice full of deep powerlessness.

"You have to be careful, too. Sima Rui stood up as he spoke, he looked at Xie Langhua and said, "I should go back too." ”

"Your Highness be careful all the way. Xie Langhua also stood up.

She sent Sima Rui to the door.

Sima Rui paused, he turned his head and glanced at Xie Langhua deeply and said, "It's cold outside, you don't have to come out." ”

Xie Langhua nodded lightly.

Sima Rui turned and disappeared from her sight.

Xie Langhua was lying on the couch, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for a long time.

I don't know when it started to snow again.

When Xie Langhua opened the door in the morning, the whole world was white at a glance.

After breakfast, Xie Heng got into the carriage and went to the He Family School.

Xie Langhua talked to Xiao Shi for a while, and then went back to the room to practice the secret of longevity.

Until Xie Heng came back from the academy today, Xie Changan did not show up, and no one asked more.

The days were as plain as water, and only Xie Langhua knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

This tranquility will be followed by a huge wave.

Days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Neither Wang Xuan nor Sima Rui appeared in front of Xie Langhua.

Only Yu Ye came to visit Xie Langhua once, and the two of them didn't say anything else, Yu Ye sat for a while and left, and when he left, he told her that everyone has their own destiny and let her not mind too much, and asked her for a few pots of Mr. Su's daughter red.

Hearing Fang Huanyun say that Xie Yaohua has been running to Xie's house very eagerly these days, she is only trying to persuade Xie Changan to help Sima Yi through the old lady.

Sima Hong has been ill for more than ten days, and he has never woken up, without the slightest complexion.

The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the courtiers are saying that it is time to set up a new king.

Sima Yi is the crown prince, and it is reasonable for him to succeed to the throne, so the courtiers strongly advocated that Sima Yi succeed to the throne, and they have already chosen a date, just two days later.

The succession of the new monarch is not a trivial matter, and the people who are busy with civil and military officials are turning their backs.

Xie Changan hadn't been here for several days.

Xie Langhua was not worried at all, whether he couldn't stand the old lady's chatter, he had already chosen to help Sima Yi, she had already shown him the way, and it was his business how he chose.

This battle was a tough battle for Sima Rui, and it was extremely difficult, but no matter what, Xie Langhua knew that he would definitely win.

A few days have passed, and Fang Huanyun still hasn't found any news about Cui You.

Xie Langhua was even more shocked, so he could only let Fang Huanyun continue to investigate.

Cui You didn't make any more moves on her, as if he had disappeared from her life, but only Xie Langhua knew that she had never forgotten for a moment that he was the murderer of Ah Su.

She didn't do anything, but she didn't dare to make a rash move.

Another day has passed, and tomorrow will be the day when Sima Yi succeeds to the throne.

Wang Xuan couldn't rest assured that Xie Langhua was relieved, and specially ordered Wang Li to send a letter to Xie Langhua, and he told her not to do anything anyway.

Xie Langhua only glanced at Wang Xuan's letter, and then asked Fang Huanyun to put it away.

She lowered her eyes slowly, she knew Wang Xuan's kindness, even if he didn't tell her, she wouldn't do anything, she just had the heart and couldn't do anything.

Success or failure depends on Sima Rui's creation.

After lunch, Xie Langhua practiced the secret of longevity again.

It took her an hour before she lifted her legs and got off the bed.

"Miss, let's have a cup of tea to moisten your throat!" Chun Tao walked in with a smile and poured Xie Langhua a cup of tea.

Xie Langhua took it and didn't drink it yet.

Fang Huanyun suddenly walked in, looked at Xie Langhua and said, "Miss, Xie Yaohua is here with Xiao Mo, but do you want to let her in?" ”

Xie Langhua took a sip of tea, she looked up at Fang Huanyun and said, "Let them in!"

"Yes. Fang Huanyun turned around and walked out.

Chun Tao frowned and looked at Xie Langhua and said, "Why did the eldest lady let these two wicked people in, she should let Aunt Fang blast them out." ”

Xie Langhua hooked his lips and smiled coldly: "Anyway, there is nothing to do, so I should pass the time." ”

Xie Langhua's voice fell, and Xiao Mo grovelled and helped Xie Yaohua and walked in.

She looked at Xie Langhua with a red face and said, "Sister, is she better?"
