116 Don't leave anything to chance (and updates.)

Shi Feng coughed lightly: "Did you hear what I just said?" ”

The brothers have a tacit understanding, Qi Hui asked on purpose, it is obvious that Pang Qianyou does not want to see Qi Hui, if she wants to see Qi Hui, she should let Shifeng find Qi Hui. In the past years, Qianyou didn't think much about Concubine Xian, if she wanted to see Qi Hui, she would entangle Shifeng and wait outside the palace with her eyes open.

Therefore, the person she wants to see is Xiangxiang, she just wants to enter the palace to see what the woman around Qi Hui looks like.

"You obviously know what she means, and you still ask me what to do, she just wants to see Miss Xiangxiang." Shi Feng sighed lightly, "But don't worry, I'm not forcing you, and no matter what the situation is, I can't tolerate any trouble for her." But I got to the point, and I had the confidence to speak in front of her, and she pulled Mr. Shen into the water, and I had to give Mr. Shen an explanation. Besides, I didn't even say Xiangxiang's name, I pretended to be confused about my father, how could I still tell Qianyou? If you can't trust me, I can't do it. ”

Compared to himself and his mother, who depend on each other for their lives, now that he has just had Xiangxiang, Shifeng has been maneuvering among the big family, Qi Hui knows that it is not easy for him, but he can't let Qianyou bully Xiangxiang, no matter how you think, the eldest lady will not be as simple as just looking at it.

"You tell her first, I know, and I'll see her later." Qi Hui replied calmly, "Don't mention the matter of Xiangxiang for the time being, just use the strengthened guards in the palace and the cold palace being surrounded by layers as an excuse, which she can easily confirm from others, and she will not make trouble with you." It's just that she wants to see Xiangxiang, and I may not be able to fulfill it, but I can't really completely ignore her affection for so many years. The reason why he never gave her any affectionate response was because he was afraid that she would misunderstand something, and when she waited for such a day, she would not be able to tell. ”

Shi Feng nodded again and again: "She also understands in her heart that she is unwilling." Even if she chooses the crown princess, she dares to resist with death, although there are still many things that cannot be as she wishes, but most of those things are dispensable, she is not stubborn, but if it is something she wants to do, or something she wants, I have watched her grow up, and she has been sensible for more than ten years, and she has never said a word. Think about how important you are to her. I also don't believe that she will give up easily. ”

Something similar, Concubine Xian once said to Qi Hui. Even though Concubine Xian has faded all the light, she is no longer the eldest lady of a century-old family, nor is she no longer a favorite concubine with infinite scenery, but she still has the pride that these riches give her in her bones, it is easy to understand the arrogance and stubbornness of Qianyou, it is not that the child is a bad person who is difficult to deal with, she may not want to be born with such a personality, it is that she was born with Xiangxiang is a person from a different world, in her life, it is right to do this.

Qi Hui understands that if you have to compare Qianyou with Xiangxiang, it is unfair to Qianyou, and it may not be able to show how good Xiangxiang is. He simply doesn't like Qianyou, and has always been reluctant to have a real family relationship with the Pang family, and has treated Qianyou as a sister for more than ten years, he will not see Qianyou as useless because he fell in love with Xiangxiang.

Everything that should be said was said, Shifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief and was able to go back, full of hope that his sister would not toss anymore, and after Qi Hui said goodbye to him, he went to Concubine Li's palace. But I only saw Concubine Li quietly guarding the third prince who broke her leg on the roof, and it seemed that the matter of changing guards outside the palace gate had nothing to do with her.

Qi Hui went all the way back to the Cold Palace, passing through countless palaces, he knew who lived in each room, passing by the East Palace from afar, and seeing the lights there, his heart tightened, as if he realized something. There is no doubt that even if the prince has no evidence, he must suspect him when he saves the third prince, and the tacit understanding between them is indeed very delicate.

When he returned to the cold palace, Xiangxiang was guarding Concubine Xian motionlessly, and her mother was already asleep. Xiangxiang asked him softer than usual: "In the future, we can't cook with another fire, but fortunately, after Jingshu came a few days ago, I dismantled the stone stove, otherwise they should be suspicious." ”

Qi Hao bowed: "There are a lot of people outside the door, and there is nothing special to see us in a while, and we may be a little relaxed." I have to deal with it in the past few days, and my mother's medicine will be fried and delivered, so you just stay by her side. ”

Xiang Xiang nodded, not even daring to say more, and Qi Hui said: "If the people outside are not good, you have to listen to me, let me send you out of the palace first, we can't all be trapped here." ”

"But......" Xiangxiang was willing to do it, but Qi Hui's firm gaze made her understand that she couldn't be emotional, "I listen to you." ”

But things have not become complicated, although the people in front of the door are aggressive, layers of guards and chains, but they have never come in to disturb the life of the mother and son of the cold palace, and after looking around on the first day and not finding the second prince, they continued to look for him all over the world, and did not enter the door again to confirm.

Every time someone brings food and medicine, it takes half a day to open the lock, compared to the news sent by the guards with their voices and words in the past, the big movement of unlocking the lock can make Xiangxiang hide in the dark compartment in a more timely manner. Two or three days later, Qi Hui and Xiangxiang both felt that the cold palace was now more peaceful than before. With these layers of chains alone, at least Concubine Li and the others must not break in casually.

Xiangxiang didn't dare to speak from the first day, but after two or three days, it was no different from before, except that she couldn't make a fire to cook, she almost forgot about the fact that the cold palace was surrounded, and secretly felt that Qi Hui would not send her away first.

After Qi Hui and Shi Feng met repeatedly, they found that although this group of guards obeyed the emperor's orders like everyone else, unlike the previous ones, they were all under Pang Jun and Shi Feng, and they had long been controlled by the crown prince.

Therefore, the cold palace was suddenly strictly guarded, it seemed that the emperor ordered it, but in fact, it was the prince's intention behind it, Shi Feng said: "He seems to have deliberately mentioned you and Niangniang in front of the emperor, Qi Hui, do you still want to continue to do things for him?" You must believe that he is the real tiger wolf, my father is here, and I am in the middle. ”

Qi Hui had long suspected that the prince had ulterior motives, but now that Shifeng had found out one or two, he didn't need to confirm it further, so he decided that it must be the prince. Because there is another thing, Xiangxiang once asked him why, and now if you think about it, it seems to make sense. That night, Qi Hui returned to the cold palace, and after his mother slept peacefully, he asked Xiangxiang softly: "The day Concubine Li broke in, the prince saw you, didn't he?" ”

After Xiangxiang recalled, he nodded and said: "They forced Jingshu to burn her mother's face with tongs, and I rushed over to block my mother's face, as if it was that time, the prince came." But we didn't speak, and he kept talking to Concubine Li. She asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Qi Hui said: "You said that Jingshu has no reason to come to you again and again, she once wanted you to be by her side, but she is not doing well, and there is no one to trust in Furong Curie." But now that the entire minions of the Furong House are in her hands, no one dares to be disrespectful to her, and even if she misses you, she doesn't necessarily have to need you so urgently. You have other sisters, and if she wants to have acquaintances around her, it will be much easier to find a dancer in the music workshop than to find you. I suspect that she didn't come to you on her own, but was forced to come to you, and because of that, she felt hatred. Maybe in the eyes of another person, you can't replace it with another dancer. ”

Xiangxiang listened to it tightly, she seemed to understand something, and Qi Hui had already said, "Do you have anything to take away?" ”

"Do you want me to go?" Xiangxiang was very disappointed, she didn't expect that the world outside the palace was now unattractive to her, but she promised Qi Hui to listen to him.

"Xiangxiang, the prince seems to have other plans for you, I can't keep you in the palace any longer, in case something happens, killing him can't make up for your damage." Qi Hui's face was grim, for fear that Xiangxiang would refuse, so he stopped looking at her and turned to protect his mother.

Xiangxiang didn't dare to entangle, but he was reluctant, the two of them sat and didn't speak, and each other's hearts were very tormented. In the middle of the night, his mother woke up, Qi Hui told him about sending Xiangxiang away, and Concubine Xian said repeatedly: "Don't hesitate, it's better to pick up the day than to hit the sun, and leave tonight." ”

Qi Hui looked back at Xiangxiang and asked her with his eyes, "Do you want to go?" ”

Xiangxiang pursed his lips tightly, did not respond, but walked to the bedside and said to Concubine Xian: "Mother, I will come back when I go, you take medicine and eat well, I will be back in a few days." ”

Everything came so suddenly, Concubine Xian understood that she might never see Xiangxiang again, she felt that she would not live to the day she left the palace, and Xiangxiang would not come back. Reluctance, heartache, but thinking that the children will soon have a free life, she is happy for Xiangxiang.

"You have to take care of yourself, don't worry about me here, we will be fine without you before." Concubine Xian trembled slightly, held Xiangxiang's hand, held back her reluctant tears, and said calmly, "Xiangxiang, you promised your mother that you would always be by your side, you can't regret it." ”

Xiangxiang couldn't hold back his tears and choked up: "I want to be by my mother's side forever, I'm waiting for you outside the palace, you must come out, okay?" ”

Concubine Xian smiled gently, touched her cheek, and wiped away the warm tears, "Good boy, remember what my mother told you, don't forget to ask when you see my family in the future." ”

Xiang Xiang agreed, and finally covered the quilt for Concubine Xian, put down the bed, every step under her feet seemed to be filled with lead, and she shed tears all the way out of the door with Qi Hui, trembling and putting on her night clothes, Qi Hui had never seen her cry for so long, and her heart was about to be soaked in tears. He gently hugged his beloved in his arms and said, "You will definitely meet again, my mother is reluctant to you, and you are reluctant to her, aren't you?" ”

Xiangxiang finally asked, "Do you have to go?" ”

Qi Hui nodded firmly, his eyes were so serious that he almost overshadowed his distress for Xiangxiang, "You must go, I was negligent before, I didn't realize at all, the prince may have that meaning, even if I misunderstand, I must not leave it to chance." Xiangxiang, I know him. ”

Xiangxiang wiped away his tears, sniffed and said, "I listen to you." ”
