"Easy to say. This Xiao family is the mother of the Queen Mother, Xiao Yan is the uncle of the current emperor, even if he makes a big mistake, our emperor cannot punish it. Everyone in the court knows about this, you don't see how often the ministers in the court run to the Xiao family during the New Year's holidays. Even the supreme Yue Guifei asked her personal guards to send gifts several times, so that she could get closer to the Xiao family and keep her status. ”

"The Xiao family is now dominant in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with supreme glory, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the country will be in danger!"

"Don't talk nonsense about this, if someone with a heart hears it, I'm afraid it will be a capital crime of losing your head."

"Recently, it has been rumored that the Xiao family is secretly training dead soldiers, although it is a rumor, it may not be groundless."

"If this word is going to reach the ears of the emperor, I'm afraid that it will be angry again, so we should not know."

The footsteps gradually drifted away, and from a distance, both of them were wearing court clothes, and they were in a hurry.

The words just now kept recalling in Xia Qingxi's mind. It stands to reason that the Xiao family is Ling Yan's backer, and Ling Yan is extremely kind. But when he was by Ling Yan's side for a long time, every time he encountered something about the Xiao family, he always felt that Ling Yan was very sensitive, especially after the last letter, Ling Yan was afraid that he had already had a dislike for the Xiao family, but because of the face of the Queen Mother, he didn't dare to act rashly.

As soon as Xia Qingxi arrived at the door, he saw Caiyue holding a heavy coat, anxiously looking left and right at the door, seeing Xia Qingxi's figure, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Niangniang, the slave just went to get the clothes, where did you go?" It's icy and snowy, cold and slippery, and the slave is afraid that something will happen, so it's good for you to come back. ”

Xia Qingxi raised her hand, and Caiyue hurriedly helped her up, "Niangniang, why don't you find an excuse and go back to rest!" The scene inside is afraid that it will hinder your eyes. ”

Xia Qingxi smiled coldly, "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”

The curtain was lifted, and Xia Qingxi entered, and saw Ling Yan holding Su Qianyue's hand, with a burst of intimacy, if it weren't for the presence of the minister, Su Qianyue would have been sitting in Ling Yan's arms a long time ago.

"Your Majesty, you love your concubines so much, Sister Xi should be unhappy!" Su Qianyue squinted at it and said deliberately. The five-point smile between the eyebrows was full of show-off.

Ling Yan glanced at Xia Qingxi casually, "Who I favor depends on my intentions." ”

Xia Qingxi originally thought that he could not care at all, but now that he heard Ling Yan's words, he still felt embarrassed, and he was completely redundant again, so he got up and made an excuse and left the table in a hurry.

"That concubine was really arrogant, as soon as she was favored, her tail was about to rise to the sky." Caiyue was indignant and muttered along the way.

Xia Qingxi was much more indifferent, there was no love in his heart, and naturally he never had hatred.

"Niangniang, you still have to plan early, now that Concubine Yue is in the limelight, if she gives birth to another prince, I'm afraid that it will be just around the corner to ascend to a high position." Caiyue's words made Xia Qingxi's heart skip a beat, he didn't care about Ling Yan's love, but he was bound to win the position of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Caiyue wanted to say more, but was stopped by Xia Qingxi's "Don't say more", so she had to shrink her neck and follow the entourage.

Hanxin and Situ Lie frolicked in the plum garden for a while, feeling a little tired, so they left the palace early. It seems that he has not been so happy and wanton for a long time, and he only feels tired and panicked. Soon after getting into the carriage, he fell asleep.

Looking at Hanxin's body swaying from side to side, Situ Lie's eyes were warm, and he raised his hand slightly to take Hanxin into his arms, and the familiar daughter Xiang burst into his arms, only to feel that his heart was beating extremely fast.

Hanxin fell asleep, his face was quiet, and his narrow eyelashes vibrated slightly from time to time, like a butterfly fluttering its wings, wanting to take off.

Situ Lie stretched out his hand and took off the cold face towel, only to see a fair and delicate little face come into view, and his small facial features were green and beautiful.

At this time, the cold heart was like a child, so warm that she wanted people to hold her tightly in her arms and not let go.

Situ Lie stretched out his white five fingers and gently stroked his cold eyebrows, nose, lips, and chin, rubbing them over and over again, wanting to carve her into his mind.

"Lord Wang, it's here." The sound of the remnant wind came, waking up the chill. Opening his hazy sleepy eyes, "Situ Lie, I just had a dream in which I saw a dog licking my face. ”

Situ Lie was stunned for a moment, "You dog meat has eaten too much, so they came to take revenge." ”

Coldly frowned, "Next time, I should find a good stick and let it come and go." With that, he sat up from Situ Lie's arms, lifted the curtain and walked down.

Before he stood up, he saw a group of people next to him pointing at him, whispering, and coldly reaching out to touch his face, only to find that his face towel was gone. Turning around, he glared at Situ Lie resentfully, "Where is my face towel?" ”

Situ Lie suddenly showed an innocent and aggrieved expression, and he had to hurriedly trot back to Fengxian Tower.

Before changing back into men's clothes, Wu Xu knocked on the door and entered.

"Is the gambling house normal for the past two days?" Chill asked casually.

Wu Xu reported truthfully, "Back to Gongzi, everything is normal, and the business is getting better and better, today Xiao Ao, the grandson of the Xiao family, brought Jin Wan to the gambling house to play, but he had no luck but was too bad, and he lost a fine light in just one hour." ”

When Han Xin heard Xiao Ao's name, he smiled lightly, "Come and be a guest, greet him well." The Xiao family is the leading family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, if Xiao Ao comes to play again tomorrow, as long as he opens his mouth, it doesn't matter if he wants to borrow money, how much will be lent to him, there is no upper limit. ”

Wu Xu was a little puzzled by the cold words, "Childe is saying, no matter how much?" ”

"That's right." got a cold affirmative answer, although Wu Xu had questions, he didn't ask anymore, so he did it. Because he knows that Childe has his own ideas for everything he does.

In the past few days, a few strangers have come to Fengxian Tower, all of whom went directly to see Situ Lie, and they were cold to see that they were all extraordinary, and their expressions were in a hurry, thinking that they were only afraid that something would happen to Xuanwu. Moreover, a large number of official documents from Xuanwu have been sent to the Eastern Jin Dynasty by fast horses and whips for Situ Lie to deal with.

"Situ Lie, you seem to be quite idle!" Hanxin hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question. In fact, what I wanted to ask was: "Why don't you go back to Xuanwu?" "I'm afraid that if I ask this, I will be suspicious of driving people away. After all, people have helped themselves again and again, and they have even done the thing of forging dragon robes, and it would be too unkind to go and drive people away by themselves.

Situ Lie gently put down a son on the chessboard, "This king is an idle prince, he has no soldiers and no power, so he is naturally idle." ”

Han Xin was slightly surprised, "Didn't you say that this Situ Lie was a god-like existence in Xuanwu?" How can he be an idle prince with an empty title but no real power? ”

"Also, looking at your well-fed and well-dressed appearance, you are a master who has a life to enjoy happiness and no life to work hard." Hanxin teased.

Situ Lie didn't care, "When this king was suffering and tired, Ah Xin was not born yet. ”

"Look at what you say, it's like you're in your seventies and eighties!" Chilling laughter. A pair of eyes as bright as the stars, unique.

Situ Lie was dazzled, "When you laugh, this king thinks of a person." ”

"Who, your childhood sweetheart? Or a confidante in the pink? Chill chuckled.

Situ Lie sighed thoughtfully, "It's a little girl I met in the killer camp when this king was a child. ”

The smile that had not yet dissipated suddenly settled on his face, and he wondered: "Killer battalion? How can you, a prince of noble status, be in the Killer Camp? ”

Situ Lie glanced at the cold heart, and recalled thoughtfully: "In order to live! I was only eight years old that year and was sent to the killer camp for training. I saw a little girl, who, like you, has a pair of unique eyes, and seems to be able to see all the things in the world and the vicissitudes of the world. In the killer camp, where you die and the weak eat the strong, she still has a trace of conscience. I don't know what I was thinking, maybe it was because of her specialness, maybe because of her kindness, maybe because of her beautiful eyes, I actually rescued her once, and it was out of instinct. However, I left the Killer Camp two years later and never saw her again, so maybe she would have died a long time ago! ”

Hanxin had never heard Situ Lie talk about himself, and this was the first time. But I was so surprised.

If there are two lines destined to intersect in the trajectory of fate, it must be himself and Situ Lie. The person who has hidden in his heart for many years, the person who lives forever in the depths of his memory, actually sits in front of him, isn't this fate?

Coldly listened to Situ Lie's whisper, and the memory suddenly returned to the thin figure, the cold world, it was he who gave himself a trace of warmth.

Hanxin looked at Situ Lie a little sadly, and said: "Maybe that little girl has grown up back then, slim, and even more beautiful than you remember, and now she is starting her new life somewhere, and she doesn't have to live the days of licking blood on the sword again." ”

Situ Lie nodded approvingly, "It should be, I never believed she was dead." ”

Hanxin also nodded by default. Looking at Situ Lie's eyes, he unconsciously felt a little more happy.

"Half a month later, it is the 80th birthday of General Xiao Chong, the head of the Xiao family, I want to give him a gift, you say, what should I give?" Hanxin held his forehead and thought.

Situ Lie looked at Han Xin's pretending to think, and put down his son again, "Didn't you already prepare a big gift?" Such a valuable gift is hard to find. Also, you lose. ”

Hanxin reacted suddenly, his chessboard had already been defeated and retreated, and he was surrounded by Situ Lie. Suddenly a little annoyed, "It seems that my chess skills still need to be learned, and I can't do it at all." ”

Situ Lie saw that Hanxin had lost so badly, and he was overjoyed, "Remember to concentrate on doing things in the future." ”

Cold-hearted glanced at the chessboard, he had never won a game of chess with Situ Lie, it should be said that his chess skills were too high, or his skills were not as good as others.
