"Yes, Your Majesty is weak, and the crown prince is reused. Now that the national disaster is at hand, everyone has seen the wind and steered the rudder, and they have fallen to the side of the prince. ”

"The Qiang people rebelled, what is the prince going to do with it?"

"The prince also summoned other clans, but the effect was not ideal." Feng Huang's expression was cold, she had already experienced this kind of thing once, and it was not surprising that the trees fell and scattered.

Hee-po was silent, eventually sighing deeply.

"However, if you want to say most of it, the Murong clan took the initiative to ask the prince for war."

"Active?" Xibao's thoughts moved slightly, and he thought of something, "Could it be that the father's joint marriage has had an effect?" ”

A sneer inadvertently flashed at the corner of Feng Huang's mouth, "Not necessarily, but in order to show sincerity, His Majesty has already ordered Murong Chong to be sent back." ”

Xibao was slightly surprised, her father was never convinced, "When did it happen?" ”

"This morning." Fenghuang's news is new, but it's not a secret anymore, "He should leave in the afternoon." ”

"Did my father mention the marriage contract again?" Xibao asked lightly, as if asking an ordinary thing.

Feng Huang shook his head, "It's not clear, but it shouldn't be able to dodge." ”

Yes, unless the army is defeated, it can't be avoided, and it can't be avoided from the beginning.

But even though she knew that she couldn't hide it, Xibao still hid a glimmer of light in her heart, so faint that even she didn't notice it.

She wanted to discuss something more with Feng Huang, when suddenly a maid came quickly, saluted and reported, "Princess, Tuoba Gongzi asks to see you." ”

Tuoba?

Xibao groaned slightly. What did he do in such an embarrassing moment?

After hesitating for a moment, Xibao finally relented, "Let him in." ”

"Yes."

After the maid quickly retreated, Feng Huang also saluted, "I'll come back later." ”

Hee-Po nodded.

The palace in the depths of winter was gloomy and cold, although the sun was still shining on the eaves, but it was just as weak and powerless as the northern kingdom at this moment.

Tuoba Jue came from the depths of the corridor, the monarch Lei Lei was outstanding, and in the deep winter of the drowsy and cold, he exuded a rare and precious masculine atmosphere. Xibao watched him approach step by step, and couldn't help but stand up in this lonely pavilion.

I haven't seen him for a long time, he has lost a lot of weight, but he looks much stronger. His gaze was also on Xibao, his gaze was burning hot, as if some emotion was about to overflow, but it was covered up by Shengsheng.

"Princess Xibao."

The man walked up to him and saluted, and the change of title caught Xibo a little off guard.

After being at a loss, Xibao quickly came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with Tuoba Gongzi?" ”

Tuoba Jue pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head, "It's nothing, just to see the princess." ”

A princess called Xibao was inexplicably upset, and inadvertently changed her tone, "A princess who is about to die is also worth your visit?" ”

"The princess is serious."

Xibao smiled bitterly and slowly sat back down, "You're here to see me for the last time, right?" ”

Tuoba Jue was slightly startled, and the hand under his sleeve tightened silently, "Why did the princess say this?" ”

"When the northern kingdom dies, my woman can only die to die for the country. When the time comes, Don't laugh at Tuoba Gongzi. "When it comes to life and death, she says it very plainly.

It's not intimidation, she's trying for the best, but she's also preparing for the worst.

Tuoba Jue looked at Xibao, she seemed to have grown up a lot, and her temperament became more strong. People will change, especially under the shroud of imperial power, if they are not strong, they will die.

"Does Shang Yang's death have anything to do with you?" Tuoba said something else.

Xibao's eyes were slightly cold, "Shangyang stumbled and fell into the well, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"Everyone in the palace said that it was the queen's meaning."

"That's not my fault."

"But she offended the queen with you." Tuoba Jue accentuated his tone, "There are many people in the palace, and Princess Shangyang herself is also open-mouthed, you are so dignified, invite them to come to Xianghe Palace for tea one after the other?" ”

Xibao's gaze suddenly awe-inspiring, "Is that Tuoba Gongzi here to ask about the guilt?" ”

"Don't dare." Tuoba Jue laughed at himself, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a hint of helplessness, "I just want to see what the old friends have become?" ”

What does it look like!?

It's serious.

Xibao's cheeks were suddenly hot, and his white fingers gradually tightened, but he still forced himself to say clearly, "That's her own fault, like her, she is brainless and arrogant, and sooner or later she will hand over her life." ”

Tuoba Jue sighed, did not argue, but teased a little, "Yes, she could have lived longer, but it was not good for her to offend anyone, but she offended Ziqi Gongzi." Naturally, some people can't sit still and want to clean her up. ”

Xibao was shocked, Tuoba Jue and Ziqi have always been good friends, how could he say such strange things.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything." Tuoba Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending to explain meaninglessly, "I heard that Ziqi was injured before, so I went to ask. Although it is a person sent by Princess Shangyang, in the end, it is to protect Princess Xibao, and Princess Xibao will do something for Prince Ziqi, and that is also the way it should be. ”

"You ......" Xibao frowned slightly, wanting to justify, but didn't know what to justify.

"Forget it." Tuoba Jue slowed down his words, as if he had to admit a stubbornness in his heart, "Ziqi has a deep affection for Princess Xibao, and it is also appropriate to give something back." ”

"Giving back?" Xibao looked at him and felt a pain in his heart, "What do I give back to him?" It's he's been busy with me! ”

"Yes, he's been helping you." Tuoba Jue repeated silently, and then said in disgust, "It's like me, locked up under the red wall and green tiles, and I can't do anything." ”

"Tuobaju......" Xibao suddenly realized his grief and indignation, and called his name lightly. Complex and contradictory emotions came to his heart, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

He has been locked up in the deep palace by Emperor Fu Jian as a proton since he was a child, and his freedom has been restricted for more than ten years, except for hunting, he has never stepped out of the deep palace like a slave.

He is no longer a child, he has become a man par excellence. But he is still in invisible shackles, living under the swords of others. He holds the blade of enlightenment, but he can't control his own fate, and he can't even protect the woman he loves. He couldn't save her when she was in danger.

can only watch his good brother do what should be done by himself. What about the trek, what about the injury...... Sadly, he didn't even qualify to go and get hurt.

After a moment of silence, Xibao returned to calm, hummed, and looked gloomy, "Whether it's Ziqi or you, it's useless to say anything so far." I am Murong Chong's fiancée! ”
