Chapter 173: Acting on the spot

Chu Yanzhi looked at the snow-white soft wattle pulling the corner of his clothes, and looked at Xiao Xiweizai carefully from the bottom to the top.

The concern and joy in her eyes looked very real, and it didn't seem to be fake, if it wasn't for her deep thoughts, then in her heart she really thought that Chu Xizhi was dead. And at this moment, although Chu Yanzhi was more suspicious of the former in his heart, he desperately hoped that it was the latter in his heart. Because, only if that person is really dead, then he can really trap her by his side.

After that moment of joy, Xiao Xiwei seemed to come back to her senses, she let go of her grip on Chu Yanzhi's hand, and took two steps back without a trace, a bright smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, and her originally indifferent eyes seemed to suddenly come to life, rippling with smart water waves, "I knew he wouldn't die so easily, I'm still alive, how can he be willing to die?" With that, she held her stomach and laughed out loud.

The voice was full of joy and cheerfulness, but it was extremely harsh in Chu Yanzhi's ears.

"Xiwei, do you know why I followed you to Chao'an Temple?" Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xi and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly to look at Chu Yanzhi, and his voice was extremely cold, "Didn't His Royal Highness come to incense Concubine Li?" ”

Chu Yan's eyes narrowed, and a cool smile flashed across his lips, "Xiwei, how can you not understand if you are extremely smart?" ”

Xiao Xi looked at Chu Yanzhi slightly, noncommittal, without a trace of expression on his cold face.

"He tried his best to get you and Concubine Yan to Chao'an Temple, and he didn't have to think about it to know that he must want to take you away from the capital. Xiwei, since I know this, the best way is to plan and secretly set up a big net in Chao'an Temple just to wait for him to be caught, but I didn't do it, do you know why? Chu Yanzhi's eyes stared at Xiao Xiwei and said word by word.

Chu Yanzhi's words did not move Xiao Xi at all, and even Xiao Xiwei was stingy with an expression.

"Because of you."

Xiao Xi's slightly slender eyebrows unconsciously picked.

She had to admit that Chu Yanzhi's words were indeed beyond her expectations.

How could a person like him, who is bent on cultivating power and power, who does not compromise means, and can even use his brothers and siblings mercilessly, do such a stupid thing.

"Heevi, I won't let you leave me. Even if you startle the snake just like that, in this life, you are destined to be my woman. Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei and said with burning eyes.

"The prince's words are really surprising." Xiao Xi lowered her eyes slightly, and the corners of her lips slowly rose with a clear smile, "The concubine is just an insignificant woman, not only a wife, but also a mother, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a 'broken flower and a willow', how can it be in the eyes of the prince?" ”

Chu Yanzhi looked at her, and the heavy cloak couldn't hide her slightly bloated body, but even so, the moment she lowered her eyes and smiled, a familiar picture came to her face......

Yes, she smiled at him when he lifted the bright red hijab in his dream.

At this moment, Chu Yanzhi's heart swelled with ecstasy.

It was as if a dream had reappeared, but it wasn't a dream, it was real, and she really smiled at him.

"Xiwei, I'm sincere to you. I don't care who woman you used to be, and I don't care about the child in your belly, as long as you are willing to follow me, I can do nothing. Chu Yanzhi grabbed Xiao Xiwei's hand and said urgently.

Xiao Xi raised it slightly, his clear eyes were rippling, and the smile on the corner of his lips slowly bloomed like a lotus flower.

At this moment, Chu Yanzhi seemed to be able to smell a faint lotus fragrance floating on the tip of his nose.

He had never seen Xiao Xiwei like this, and for a while, he looked at Xiao Xiwei like a demon, and he was reluctant to blink his eyes.

"The prince can ignore the background of the concubine, but the emperor? Can the emperor not care? Even if the emperor agrees, the civil and military officials in the court are afraid that they will not agree. Xiao Xi looked up at Chu Yanzhi slightly.

The words were both light and shallow, like a gentle feather, silently slashing across Chu Yanzhi's heart, making him itch unbearably, and subconsciously leaned over to Xiao Xiwei, opened his mouth and said, "Xiwei, don't worry, no matter who is against it, as long as it is determined by this king, no one can stop it." It doesn't matter who it is. So, you can just relax. ”

He knew that she couldn't be unmoved by him, it turned out that she was afraid of these.

"Isn't the prince afraid of offending the emperor and the courtiers because of this?" Xiao Xi looked at Chu Yanzhi and said with a smile.

"If it's for the sake of others, it's naturally afraid, but for you, then I can't care about it." Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was unprecedentedly hearty.

Now that he is in power, even if there are some opposing voices, he will make them disappear completely.

Now, no one can stop him anymore.

Not even the emperor.

"It seems that the prince is really interested in the concubine." Xiao Xi slowly lowered his eyes and laughed softly.

"Of course. Xiwei, do you still doubt the king's sincerity at this time? Chu Yanzhi stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Xiwei's fingertips and said softly.

"Can the concubine ask the prince one thing?" Xiao Xiwei still lowered his eyes, but his voice was faintly trembling.

Chu Yanzhi, who was immersed in joy, didn't notice that Xiao Xiwei was wrong, he just looked at Xiao Xiwei gently, and said with a smile, "You say." ”

He ...... Is it really not dead? ”

The voice was very low, so low that Chu Yanzhi didn't even hear it clearly, but there was no trace of temperature in the cold fingertips of his palms.

Suddenly, it was as if a basin of ice water had been poured on the head.

The joy just now receded like a tide, and reason gradually returned.

Holding Xiao Xiwei's hand, he finally let go slowly, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Xiao Xiwei finally raised her head, her eyes were still clear, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was still clear, but there was a bit of forbearance in her eyes, "I just want to know if he is still alive?" ”

She said so many words and laughed so much, in the end, it was just to confirm whether Chu Xizhi was still alive?

"Lord Wang, I will do what you wish, it's just that I really want to know if he is really alive." Seeing Chu Yanzhi's answer, Xiao Xi took a step forward and reached out to grasp the corner of his sleeve tightly, looking up at him with a faint trace of longing in his eyes.

A chill of disappointment crept up to his heart like vines from the soles of his feet.

It turned out that his sincere confession was just an excuse to get her in her eyes, but I was afraid that even if he came to Chao'an Temple and said that Chu Xizhi was still alive, in her eyes, it was just a means to get her, and the gentle smile she had just given him was even more of a joke......

Chu Yanzhi stretched out his hand and slowly broke Xiao Xiwei's hand holding the corner of his sleeve one finger at a time, and his voice was as cold as broken ice slag, "Even if he is still alive, then he won't live long." With that, he turned around resolutely, and the wide cloak made a sharp arc in the air, with a cold wind coldly brushing Xiao Xiwei's cheeks, and soon walked away.

Xiao Xi, who stayed in place, stood quietly by the pool, calmly watching the mountains in the distance swallow up the last trace of afterglow.

It's going to be dark.

She let out a long breath and climbed up with the countless tiredness in her eyes.

"Princess." Ziyan walked quickly to Xiao Xiwei's side, and was relieved to see that she was fine.

Xiao Xi smiled and looked down at the calm pond in front of him, "You said that I have been standing here for a long time, why haven't I seen a single fish." ”

Ziyan glanced at the pool, frowned, and said puzzledly, "Princess, it's so cold now, how can the fish come out?" ”

"Yes, the fish know that it doesn't appear when it's cold, how can people not know?" Xiao Xi sighed slightly, meaning something.

Ziyan was stunned for a while, and then lowered her voice and said to Xiao Xi, "What the princess said won't be ......."

"I'm talking about fish, of course." Xiao Xi turned his face slightly, and his eyes swept the purple smoke like butterfly wings.

Ziyan suddenly came to her senses, she raised her voice slightly, and said to Xiao Xi with some embarrassment, "Princess, didn't you say that you can't smell fishy, why do you suddenly want to eat fish again?" This is Chao'an Temple, where do you let the slave go to get you fish? You're not going to be able to jump into the pond in the middle of winter and catch a few fish for you, right? ”

Xiao Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, "I'm just talking casually." With that, he put his hand on Ziyan's hand, "I'm a little tired, let's go back." ”

"Yes." Ziyan bowed his head and replied respectfully.

I don't know if the scene just now made Chu Yanzhi's doubts disappear a little.

He had always been suspicious, and even when he received the news of the success of the assassination by the secret guard, he was still suspicious, and even came to test her.

Unfortunately, this move is really not good, if one is not careful, all the previous plans will be in vain.

"Princess, you can talk here." Ziyan suddenly lowered his voice and whispered to Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi swept around without a trace, and saw that the surrounding area was empty, and it was indeed not easy to be followed and monitored, so he said in a low voice, "There is news over there." ”

Ziyan lowered her eyes and pressed her voice tightly, and spit out four words very softly, "The day after tomorrow, the time after tomorrow." ”

So fast......

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Xi's eyes.

At this time, it was the time when Chu Yanzhi's defense was the deepest, was he crazy? He wouldn't not know that Chu Yanzhi was in Chao'an Temple, and he wouldn't know that he had already laid a big net in Chao'an Temple and was waiting for him to come? How could he do such a self-contained thing!

The hand hidden in the sleeve unconsciously clenched into a fist.

"Ziyan, I want to see King Qin." Xiao Xi pursed the corners of his lips slightly, and looked at Ziyan firmly word by word.

She thought that Xi Zhi must have guessed Chu Yanzhi's intentions, but he knew that this was a trap, but he had to jump for her. And although Chu Muzhi saw that it was wrong, he never doubted and opposed Xizhi's decision, so he didn't stop Xizhi.

"Princess, ...... you are"

"Ziyan, you don't want anything to happen to the prince." Xiao Xi held Ziyan's hand slightly, and unconsciously used a little force.

Ziyan was stunned, looked at Xiao Xi's slightly determined gaze, and finally nodded slowly, "The slave will try to arrange it." It's just the princess, now Chao'an Temple is full of people from King Shen, and His Royal Highness King Qin is only afraid that it will not be easy to come in. ”

Xiao Xi slightly lowered his eyes, "It's not good to be dark, then it's clear." ”

"The princess means ......"

"I haven't seen a dango in a while." Xiao Xi looked at Ziyan slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
