A slender finger suddenly pressed against the corner of Chu Yanzhi's lips, and then, his arms were empty, and the light purple figure shook in front of his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, Xiao Xiwei was already standing in front of him, and there was a faint anger in his watery phoenix eyes.

"If Your Highness really wants the concubine to feel at ease, he will not make such an abrupt move. In the eyes of His Royal Highness, what is a concubine? Xiao Xi looked at Chu Yanzhi slightly, and a cold voice sounded.

Looking at the anger in Xiao Xi's eyes, Chu Yanzhi frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Wei'er, this palace doesn't mean to look down on you. ”

Xiao Xi slightly hooked his lips coldly, "Your Highness should keep these words for later." ”

Hearing Xiao Xiwei's words, Chu Yanzhi was already a little displeased, "Wei'er, what do you mean by this?" Don't you believe in Hongu? ”

Xiao Xi stared at Chu Yanzhi's eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips suddenly spread slightly, but those clear eyes were very cold, and even faintly revealed a trace of indifference, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, trust is mutual. Your Highness, how did you really trust your concubine? Miss Gu is one step forward, Your Highness, you are here on the back foot, Your Highness don't tell the concubine, this is just a coincidence? ”

Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei and didn't speak.

Yes, he likes Xiao Xiwei, but liking it doesn't mean that he completely believes in her. Because, she's so smart. She was always like a veil in front of him, so that he could never see it completely.

Seeing that Chu Yanzhi didn't speak, Xiao Xi lowered his eyes and smiled, "Your Highness, now you know why we can't go together......"

"So, are you blaming Hongu now?" Chu Yanzhi stood up as he spoke, his eyes faintly displeased.

She herself had never given him her sincerity, so why should she ask him to believe in her wholeheartedly!

Xiao Xi met Chu Yanzhi's suspicious and displeased gaze slightly, and after a while, she lowered her head and slowly blessed him, her voice was cold without even a trace of ups and downs, "Concubine, don't dare." ”

One sentence, three words, will pull the originally close relationship away.

Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xi's slightly indifferent and detached face, as if his chest was blocked by something, he frowned, and finally gave in, "Wei'er, this palace also wants to believe you, but you hide everything in your heart and don't say it, you are like this, how can this palace rest assured?" ”

"What is there to worry about now, Your Highness? His Royal Highness has many other choices besides concubines, but concubines are different......" Xiao Xi raised the corners of his eyebrows slightly, and his cold voice faintly revealed an inexplicable sourness and helplessness.

Think about it, if she is a woman next to her, if she is young and widowed, she can remarry and find a lover, but Xiao Xiwei is different, the person she married is a noble man of the heavenly family, the prince and the grandson of the dragon, even if she wants to remarry with such an identity, who dares to marry her. Come to think of it, he is indeed the only one she can choose.

Thinking of this, the suspicion in Chu Yan's heart dissipated a lot.

"How so? Wei'er, this palace is wholeheartedly devoted to you, otherwise you would not refuse your father's marriage. The promise to you, this palace has always kept it in mind. Chu Yanzhi walked up to Xiao Xiwei, stretched out his hand to take her hand, led her to sit down in front of the warm couch, and said to her in a gentle tone.

Seeing that Chu Yanzhi softened his tone, Xiao Xiwei's face naturally softened, and when he mentioned Gu Qingyou, he said, "Speaking of marriage? Why did His Royal Highness watch His Majesty marry Miss Gu to King Qin that day? Aren't you afraid that King Qin will take this opportunity to pull the Gu family away? ”

Chu Yanzhi's eyes flashed, "What do you mean?" ”

"Your Highness, is this a temptation of the concubine?" Xiao Xi looked at Chu Yanzhi slightly and raised his eyebrows lightly.

"Wei'er, don't think about it, this palace just wants to know what you think." Chu Yan's face does not change color.

"Presumably, His Highness already knows what the concubine said to Miss Gu." Xiao Xi looked at Chu Yanzhi slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked up a shallow smile.

Chu Yanzhi smiled, looked down at the tea cup on the black table in front of him, and said, "This tea is cold." ”

After listening to Chu Yanzhi's words, Hongyu came to his senses, stepped forward to bless him, and then removed the tea cup on the small table, and brought a new cup of tea again.

He didn't speak, so he naturally acquiesced.

After drinking tea, Chu Yanzhi finally moved his gaze to Xiao Xiwei again, "Wei'er, what are you thinking?" Do you really want to promote the marriage between Gu Qingyou and King Qin? ”

He wouldn't be naïve to think that Xiao Xiwei did this for him, after all, the relationship between Chu Muzhi and Chu Xizhi was there? Chu Xiyi died, maybe she was also attached to Chu Muzhi like those Chu Xizhi remnants in the court, and even helped Chu Muzhi deal with him.

Xiao Xiwei met Chu Xizhi's gaze without dodging, "The concubine will not be naïve to think that she can compete with Your Highness with the strength of King Qin alone. If His Royal Highness's promise to the concubine counts, then why did the concubine take such a big risk to help King Qin? Even if King Qin is really able to ascend the throne in the future, what will I get? If he doesn't succeed, then I will not only lose myself, but also the entire Loyal Warrior Mansion...... If you were Your Highness, which path would you choose? ”

Chu Yanzhi pursed the corners of his lips and smiled, "It seems that this palace really thinks too much." ”

He had to admit that Xiao Xiwei's every word spoke to his heart.

"Besides...... I don't want to let King Qin see hope because of this marriage. After all...... He called my sister-in-law for so long. When Xiao Xiwei said this, her long eyelashes trembled, and a trace of sadness crossed her eyes.

If Chu Yanzhi still had some doubts in the first few sentences, then Chu Yanzhi really didn't have any doubts in the latter sentence.

It seems that she really doesn't want to see Gu Qingyou marry Chu Yanzhi.

"Your Highness, why didn't you stop this marriage?" Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly, looking at Chu Yandao with some suspicion.

Chu Yanzhi's fingers unconsciously stroked the white porcelain teacup painted with plum blossoms in his hand, "At that time, Xu Sheng and Zhang Ge were pressing forward step by step, if this palace insisted on stopping it, wouldn't it be to watch Gu An be charged with bullying the monarch?" Therefore, I can only push the boat with the current. Speaking of this, Chu Yanzhi smiled and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xiwei, "Actually, it's okay to sell Gu An's favor so that he won't be disgusted by the refusal of marriage in this palace, and you can also take this opportunity to install an eyeliner next to Chu Muzhi." ”

"But I don't think this Miss Gu is necessarily willing to be used by His Highness." Xiao Xi looked at Chu Yanzhi slightly, and lightly hooked the corners of his lips.

"It doesn't matter if she wants it or not, the important thing is to make Chu Muzhi believe that she is actually the person arranged by the palace." Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xi with a smile and said slightly.

Xiao Xi looked at Chu Yanzhi slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

Midnight.

Xiao Xi was half asleep and half awake, and suddenly Biyun's hurried voice sounded outside the door, "Miss, it's not good, little prince, he has a high fever." ”

Xiao Xiwei hurriedly got up from the bed, didn't even have time to put on his clothes, hurriedly put on a cloak and ran out.

In the room, Chu Tianye's voice was already crying hoarsely, Hongyu was squatting in front of the bed and putting the twisted handkerchief into Ruosu's hand, Ruosu took the handkerchief and immediately replaced the handkerchief that was originally covering Chu Tianye's forehead.

"What's going on, why do you have a fever? It's too doctor, why hasn't the doctor come yet? Looking at Chu Tianye, whose face was flushed, Xiao Xi was so panicked that tears were about to fall.

"Princess, don't worry, Miss Purple Smoke has already gone to pass the imperial doctor." Chu Tianye's nurse said busily.

Xiao Xi knelt slightly in front of the bed, reached out and touched Chu Tianye's hot little hand, and tears finally couldn't help but fall, "Ye'er, don't scare your mother!" Biyun, you, go and see if Ziyan is back. ”

"Yes." Biyun answered, turned her head and ran quickly towards the door, and as soon as she ran to the door, she caught a glimpse of Ziyan running in with a doctor dragging her, she was overjoyed, and raised her voice and said, "Princess, the doctor is here, the doctor is here!" ”

Hearing Biyun's words, Xiao Xi hurriedly let go of Chu Tianye's hand and stood up, "Quick, let's see what's wrong with Ye'er?" ”

Imperial Doctor Li didn't even have time to wipe his sweat, and was dragged to the bed by the purple smoke. He stretched out his hand to check Chu Tianye's pulse, and carefully opened his eyelids to look at it, and after a while, he suddenly stood up with a panicked expression, "Princess, Xiao, His Royal Highness King Ning's symptoms are like...... Smallpox! ”

"What do you say? You, you say it again......" Xiao Xiwei stared at Imperial Doctor Li in disbelief, his gaze was as sharp as a dagger, shining with a cold light.

Imperial Physician Li's face turned pale and pale, and he knelt on the ground, "Princess, Weichen's medical skills are slight, and he doesn't have much knowledge of smallpox...... But Lord Wu, the head of Tai Hospital, once diagnosed smallpox for King Xianlu, you can see ....... ”

As soon as Imperial Physician Li's words fell, Xiao Xi stumbled slightly, but fortunately, Ziyan and Biyun reached out to support her at the same time.

Xiao Xiwei grabbed Biyun's hand tightly with both hands, and the sharp nails pierced her arm deeply, she forced her breath for a long time before she spit out a sentence vigorously, "Go, go to Xuanwu Qi!" ”

"Princess, Lord Wu is not in the palace today." Ziyan frowned and said anxiously.

"Then go to his house and look for it!" Xiao Xi turned his head slightly, his eyes red and roared at Ziyan.

Ziyan's face turned pale and he was about to go out, when Ruosu hurriedly stood up, "Ziyan, you go to the palace gate first and wait, Biyun, you immediately go to Chongde Hall to ask for instructions." ”

Ziyan and Biyun glanced at each other, and then responded, "Yes." Immediately, the two of them hurried out.

"Ye'er......" Xiao Xiwei finally couldn't help crying, she stretched out her hand and was about to hug Chu Tianye, but was suddenly stopped by Ruosu.

Ruo Su's face was extremely condensed, "Princess, if the little prince is really out of smallpox, just in case, you'd better not touch him." ”

Originally panicked, Imperial Physician Li hurriedly responded when he heard Ruosu's words, "Yes, yes, it's best to have someone prepare wormwood and lime water right now, and it's best to isolate the place where the little prince lives......" Speaking of this, Imperial Physician Li looked at Xiao Xiwei cautiously, "Princess, right now, you'd better not stay here......"

Before Imperial Physician Li's words were finished, Xiao Xiwei swept over with a ruthless look.

"Princess! If you still want to protect the little prince, the most important thing at the moment is to protect yourself! Ruo Su stared hard at Xiao Xiwei's eyes, gritted his teeth and said word by word.

Xiao Xi was slightly shocked, and after a while, she slowly moved her gaze to Chu Tianye's body.

Crystal tears continued to roll down, she bit the corner of her lip hard, the snow-white teeth left a row of bright red teeth on the lower lip, and after a while, she finally took a difficult step away......
