On the second day, the moment Xiao Xiwei came out, he saw at first glance riding on a horse wearing a straight-lined robe with dark embroidered dark patterns, embroidered gold thread auspicious clouds at the corners of the sleeves, half a jade pendant tied around his waist, and a gray coat on the outside.

"Princess, it's okay, the slave has already spread the news, I believe that the prince must have dealt with it." Ziyan lowered her eyes and whispered to Xiao Xi in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

In fact, what she was worried about was not that she didn't think about how to deal with it, but that since Chu Yanzhi appeared here, he must be suspicious, if he made a move at that time, even if he did it neatly and without leaving any flaws, according to Chu Yanzhi's caution, he would definitely be able to infer that he was still alive, and it would not be very unfavorable to his future plans.

The heavy curtain was lifted, and Xiao Xiwei, holding Hongyu's hand, was about to get into the sedan chair, when Chu Yanzhi's voice behind him sounded.

"Princess."

Xiao Xi turned around slightly and blessed Chu Yanzhi.

Chu Yanzhi jumped off the horse and walked in front of Xiao Xiwei in a few steps.

At this time, the snow was clear, the sun was soft overhead, the sky was blue, and countless lights and shadows fell, shattered in those clear pupils, but they couldn't bring out half a ripple.

In those beautiful pupils, there was only a piece of nothingness from beginning to end.

Chu Yanzhi's gaze slowly slid over Xiao Xiwei's body, the corners of his mouth gradually curved into a soft smile, and his voice was a little intimate, and said, "Why didn't I see you bring a jade pendant?" ”

Xiao Xi raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Chu Yanzhi, and after just one glance, she lowered her head, "Is there anything else with the prince?" ”

Although there was only one glance, it was enough for Chu Yanzhi to see the tiredness and pain in her eyes.

Chu Yanzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "There is a long way to Chao'an Temple, you are heavy now, I am afraid that you will be hungry on the road, so I specially asked someone to prepare some snacks." After that, he took a food box with yellow pear and apricot blossom from the attendant behind him and handed it to Xiao Xiwei, "There are red date cakes, assorted mille-feuille cakes, walnut cheese, jade bean cakes and chestnut cakes, if you are hungry, please pad them first." ”

He really thinks that our prince is dead, so this is the idea of the princess?

As soon as Ziyan heard Chu Yanzhi's words, her heart immediately exploded, and without waiting for Xiao Xiwei to speak, she smiled and blessed her body, and said to Chu Yanzhi, "Lord Lao is concerned, in fact, the slave maid has prepared snacks for the princess, and besides, my princess doesn't like to eat these snacks." ”

Chu Yanzhi didn't seem to hear it, and didn't take the box food back, but only looked at Xiao Xiwei with a smile.

Xiao Xi turned around and got into the carriage weakly, and at the moment when the curtain fell, her hoarse and tired voice came from inside.

"Purple smoke, take it."

Although Ziyan was angry in her heart, because of Xiao Xiwei's words, she still reached out and took the food box in Chu Yanzhi's hand. Back in the carriage, Ziyan looked puzzled, "Wang Shan, why did you accept this snack?" ”

Xiao Xiwei slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on the delicate food box in Ziyan's hand, "Then what reason do you think I don't accept it?" ”

Ziyan was still puzzled.

Xiao Xi hooked the corners of his lips with a slight sneer, reached out to open the food box in Ziyan's hand, pinched a piece of assorted mille-feuille cake from it and took a look, "Do you think that a woman who has a dead husband and wants to give birth to a child safely and protect her has the ability to refuse a powerful prince?" ”

"But the prince, he ......" Before Ziyan finished speaking, Xiao Xiwei swept over with a cold look. Ziyan was startled, and the remaining unspoken words were immediately swallowed back, "Princess......"

"Princess, it's a bumpy road, you better lie down for a while." Hongyu helped Xiao Xi slightly support the pillow behind him, and said softly.

Xiao Xi nodded slightly, and then took Hongyu's hand and slowly lay down.

The carriage came all the way to the foot of the mountain of Chao'an Temple, and the abbot of Chao'an Temple, Master Chen, had already led the monks and nuns in the temple to wait at the foot of the mountain. When Concubine Yan and her party arrived, she hurriedly greeted her, "Amitabha, the poor nun has come to greet the concubine." After that, he saluted Chu Yanzhi and Xiao Xi respectively, "I also said hello to the prince and princess." ”

Chu Yanzhi smiled faintly, "The teacher is too polite." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Lichen smiled kindly.

"Why didn't you see Mrs. Hui?" Yan Guifei glanced around, and then said lightly.

"Recently, the weather has been cold, and the senior sister is not very infected with the wind cold, and she is also afraid that the wind cold will come to the concubine Niangniang, so I have never gone out to welcome the concubine Niangniang, the prince, and the princess, and please forgive a few nobles." Lichen folded his hands and made a Buddhist salute, saying.

"Have you asked the doctor to see it?" Yan Guifei asked with concern.

"I've asked the doctor to see it, please take a break for a while." He replied kindly.

Concubine Yan nodded, "Back then, the palace was sent to this Chao'an Temple, and I was not accustomed to the water and soil, and I often got sick, thanks to Master Hui's enlightenment of the palace." After that, she looked sideways at Ruo Su who was supporting her and said, "You go to ask Imperial Doctor Song, and after a while, the palace will go to see Mrs. Hui." ”

"Yes." Ruosu made a palace salute sideways.

Lichen smiled, and then stepped forward to guide Yan Guifei and his party.

Since the nobles in the palace want to come to live in Chao'an Temple, naturally all idle people must avoid taboos. The courtyard on the east side of the mountain behind the temple has already been cleared out, the courtyard is spacious and quiet, and it will not be disturbed by the pilgrims who come to offer incense, plus the scenery is very good, it is suitable for a distinguished guest like Yan Guifei Yan and Princess Yan to live.

After separating from Concubine Yan, Xiao Xiwei led the palace maids back to their courtyard, and Hongyu and Ziyan led the other two palace maids to summarize the salutes they brought.

The garden prepared by Lichen for Xiao Xiwei is in the southeast corner of the yard, and the yard is paved with bluestone paths, and a few clumps of green bamboo are planted on the side of the road, and this green bamboo happens to be facing the warm couch in front of the window. When the weather is fine, sit on the couch, make a pot of good tea, and feel a little more comfortable in front of this green. And Xiao Xiwei was sitting in front of the couch at the moment, quietly looking at the bushes of green bamboos.

"Master Lichen is also attentive, but it would be nice if you planted a few more plum blossoms in this yard." With this voice for a long time, a long figure slowly walked towards Xiao Xiwei.

Hearing the voice, Ziyan, who was summing up the salute, hurriedly walked over, and when he saw Chu Yanzhi, he was really bored in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he only blessed him slightly, and then stood in front of Xiao Xiwei vigilantly.

Chu Yanzhi glanced at Ziyan lightly, and then smiled, "Why didn't you see the girl next to you who likes to wear blue shirts?" ”

"Is the prince talking about Biyun?" Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Yandao coldly.

Chu Yanzhi nodded, and said with a smile, "Yes, I usually see her by your side all day long, why didn't you see her when you came out this time?" ”

"Recently, Tuanzi has been reluctant to eat, so she went back to Yanwang's Mansion to take care of Tuanzi." Xiao Xiwei looked at Chu Yanzhi with an expressionless face.

"Dango?" Chu Yanzhi frowned and looked at Xiao Xiwei with some puzzlement.

"Dango is a tiger." Xiao Xiwei spoke again, looking at Chu Yanzhi's expression was still cold.

Chu Yanzhi smiled.

He had heard that Chu Xizhi had sent a tiger cub to Xiao Xiwei last year, but he didn't expect this tiger cub to be alive.

"Does the prince have anything else to ask?" Xiao Xi looked at Chu Yanzhi slightly, his eyes could not hide his tiredness, but there was a trace of impatience in this exhaustion.

Chu Yanzhi naturally understood what she was impatient about. If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to protect the child in her womb now, I was afraid that today, she wouldn't even be impatient to give him a look.

Subconsciously, Chu Yanzhi moved his gaze to Xiao Xi's slightly bulging abdomen.

It would be nice if the child in her womb was his.

Pity......

"Lord, my princess is tired all the way and has to rest." Ziyan stepped forward in a timely manner to face Chu Yan's way.

Chu Yanzhi retracted his gaze and smiled at Xiao Xi, "I heard that the scenery of the marriage pool in winter is very beautiful, so I just invited the princess to take a walk, but since the princess is tired, let's change the day." Chu Yanzhi said, turned around with a smile, walked to the door, and turned his head again as if he remembered something, "Although this garden is secluded, it is not as good as the palace, in order to prevent someone from colliding with the princess, this king has sent someone to guard outside the courtyard." After speaking, he hooked the corner of Xiao Xi's lips slightly, and then stepped out of the door.

"Princess, what do you think he is thinking?" Ziyan glanced at the door in disgust, then turned her face and frowned at Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xiwei didn't speak, but her originally clear eyes gradually became heavy.

If she was Chu Yanzhi, since she had already doubted her and Concubine Yan Guifei's trip, and suspected that she was still alive in this world, then she would definitely not come to Chao'an Temple with her. If it were her, she would definitely set up a net in secret, and if she was really alive, wouldn't it be better to catch it all at that time? But why did Chu Yanzhi come with him, if he really suspected that Xi Zhi was still alive, then wouldn't he be startling the snake by doing this? But Chu Yanzhi is not such a stupid person! So, why on earth did he do it?

At this time, Xiao Xiwei is not the only one who has the same question.

In the secret room of King Yan's Mansion, Chu Muzhi expressed his suspicions.

Chu Xizhi looked at the complex lines embroidered with silver dark threads on the silver cloak on the couch, and his ink-colored pupils gradually overflowed with a faint sense of anger.

"Brother Huang, why don't you speak?" Chu Muzhi looked at Chu Xidao with some concern.

Actually, he wasn't worried that Chu Yanzhi would suspect that Seventh Brother was still alive, as long as Seventh Brother didn't appear, then everything would be ignored peacefully, and everything could be carried out according to Seventh Brother's original plan. But now looking at the appearance of the seventh brother, it is bound to get the imperial sister-in-law out of Chao'an Temple, so that if he shows a trace of horses' feet, he will definitely be caught by Chu Yanzhi. Besides, since Chu Yanzhi dared to go to Chao'an Temple openly, he had naturally made all the preparations, and the seventh brother was afraid that he would ......

"Seventh brother, otherwise, let's wait a little longer." Chu Muzhi looked at Chu Xizhi and said cautiously.

Chu Xizhi's sword eyebrows raised, and he looked at Chu Muzhi with a clear gaze, "What did you say?" ”

"Seventh Brother......" Chu Muzhi wanted to persuade something more, but when he touched the firmness in Chu Xi's eyes, those words of persuasion couldn't be said.

He'd waited long enough, and if he waited any longer, he didn't know if he would go crazy.

He knew that Chu Yanzhi was already suspicious, and he also knew that he would be in danger of being exposed, and even everything he had planned before would fail because of this, but he really couldn't wait.

He lived his life again to keep her safe, but if he did it at the cost of putting her in danger, he would rather not.

Nothing is more important than her.

Moreover, the most important point is that there is only one reason why Chu Yanzhi appeared in Chao'an Temple, and that is - he is really in love with Xiwei.

He was afraid that if he was really alive, then Xiwei would completely escape from his palm, so he would rather take the risk of startling the snake than hold Xiwei firmly in the palm of his hand.

And this is what worries him the most.
