From Chao'an Temple to the capital, although this section of the road is not far away, but it is definitely not close, coupled with the heavy snow covering the mountain, the road is not easy to walk, and it is dusk when the carriage arrives in the capital.

In the pale golden sun, the splendid palace was already in front of you.

Xiao Xi looked down slightly at the baby who was sleeping soundly in swaddling clothes, and only felt soft and distressed in his heart.

She was supposed to give him a stable and warm environment, so that he could grow up without worry, but now she can only watch him step by step into danger.

The sound of the carriage rolling across the bluestone paved road seemed to remind her that the brief calm had been gradually left behind, and countless bloody storms awaited her in front of her.

At this moment, she looked at the sleeping child in her arms, her eyes were inexplicably moist, and she suddenly began to miss it like crazy.

It would be nice if it was a pity.

Finally, the carriage stopped.

"Princess, it's here." Outside the carriage, the slightly shrill voice of the eunuch sounded.

Before Xiao Xiwei could move, he heard a series of sounds outside.

"The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

A few glances in the carriage looked at Xiao Xiwei, Xiao Xi raised his head slightly, hugged the baby in his arms, the softness and confusion in his eyes just now faded cleanly, and the eyes after the fog receded were like a winter lake, although they were clear but there was a cold.

Ruo Su glanced at Xiao Xiwei, and finally got out of the carriage first, and then opened the curtain, and the red rain, blue clouds, and purple smoke in the carriage got off the carriage one after another, and finally Xiao Xiwei.

I only saw that she wore a fox fur cloak embroidered with lilac embroidered plums, this color made her cold eyebrows and eyes faintly flow a trace of charm, like plum blossoms blooming in the wind and snow, although the cold has its own dark fragrance to attack people, teaching people to take their eyes off at all.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly, holding the child Yingying.

Unlike other women's soft whispers or crisp and pleasant voices, Xiao Xiwei's voice will always be maintained at a certain level, since it will not be high or too low, it will be smooth and people can't find the slightest mistake, and it is impossible to hear from her voice whether she is happy, sad, or hateful? He suddenly wanted to know, did she also talk like this in front of Chu Xizhi?

Chu Yanzhi's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but then they unfolded, "You have lost weight......

Xiao Xiwei's delicately trimmed willow eyebrows were lightly raised, and a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his lips, "Your Highness said with a smile." ”

Chu Yanzhi's eyebrows moved, and for a moment he felt that he was dazzled, because the woman in front of him had never smiled at her so softly.

Suddenly, the faint smile suddenly disappeared, and Xiao Xiwei's whole person shook slightly.

"Princess." Ziyan was shocked and hurriedly reached out to hold her, while Hongyu neatly hugged the child in Xiao Xiwei's hand.

Chu Yanzhi suddenly let out a cold sweat, and hurriedly stepped towards Xiao Xiwei, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Highness, you don't have any orders, it's better to let the princess go back and rest first. The princess had just come out of confinement, and her body was weak and she couldn't see the wind. "Ruo Su is blessed by Chu Yan.

Chu Yan was stunned, looking at Xiao Xi's slightly pale and somewhat weak face, and suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, "Then what are you doing in a daze, don't help the princess get into the sedan chair." ”

Ruo Su blessed his body, then turned around and instructed Biyun Dao, "You go to the Tai Hospital, and ask Tai Yi Wu to come to Yongchun Palace immediately." ”

Biyun nodded, and then ran towards the Tai Hospital at a trot.

Yongchun Palace.

Imperial Physician Wu stood in front of Chu Yanzhi respectfully, "Your Highness, Princess Yan is suffering from postpartum blood deficiency, she must take care of it well, and she must not see the wind, otherwise she will ......."

The latter words, Imperial Physician Wu did not continue, but looking at his expression, he could know how serious the result would be.

In fact, although Xiao Xiwei's birth was difficult to give birth and injured her body, she went into the mountains for her to find rare medicine regardless of life and death, and then there were all kinds of ginseng and swallow porridge prepared by Yan Guifei for her, as well as the medicinal materials that the Chen family spent a lot of money to buy. Therefore, although she has some blood deficiency, it is not as serious as what Imperial Doctor Wu said. It's just that the emperor wants to hold a full moon wine for the prince of Yan, and he ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to draft Chu Tianye as the prince, and now, the crown prince Chu Yanzhi wants Princess Yan's condition to be so concerned, all kinds of signs make Imperial Doctor Wu feel that it is better to say this carefully.

"How else?" Xiao Xi leaned slightly on the warm couch, looked sideways at Imperial Physician Wu, raised his delicate willow eyebrows slightly, and then smiled, "Will you die?" ”

The nobles in the palace have always tabooed the word 'death' and never said it. This was the first time that Imperial Physician Wu had heard this word come out of the mouth of a nobleman, and for a while, his face was both surprised and a little frightened, but more of a little confused. Because, he didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only hang his head in embarrassment.

"What nonsense." Imperial Physician Wu didn't answer, but Chu Yanzhi on the side wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xi with some displeasure.

Xiao Xi hooked the corners of his lips slightly, raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yanzhi, "People are going to die, sooner or later." Besides......" At this point, the smile on her lips was a little more, "There are too many people here who want me to die." ”

These words were not something that he could hear as a physician.

Imperial Physician Wu's face became a little pale, and besides, Xiao Xiwei's eyes were too obvious, and he was suddenly a little worried about how the prince next to him would react.

"You know again."

No, the crown prince Chu Yanzhi was not as embarrassed or angry as he imagined, his eyes were as deep as ever, but there was something faintly floating under this depth that he couldn't understand.

Xiao Xi met Chu Yanzhi's deep gaze slightly, the smile on the corner of his lips remained unchanged, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Thank you for your concern." However, as for how long I can live, there is no need for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bother. ”

Knowing that she would return to the palace today, he ordered someone to pay attention to the movement early in the morning, and when he knew that she was returning to the palace, he immediately left a bunch of important things in his hand and ran to pick her up, but as a result, he waited for her to say such sarcastic words. Supposedly, he should be angry, but he only felt distressed when he looked at the stubbornness that vaguely floated on her pale face.

Thinking of this, Chu Yanzhi suddenly felt a little funny.

Because, he suddenly realized that perhaps, Xiao Xiwei was not just an obsession for him, but his inner demon.

Before he knew it, she had become his demon.

Perhaps, as Xiao Xiwei himself said, because he can't get it, he is always worried about it. However, under her repeated refusals, and even cold ridicule, he still couldn't let go, and he still remembered, what else could he be besides the demons in his heart.

"Xiwei, do you think I owe you anything in my previous life?" Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei, the corners of his lips suddenly hooked up a smile, and there was a trace of pampering in his dark eyes that even he didn't notice.

Xiao Xi was slightly stunned, and a trace of complexity crossed the bottom of his clear eyes.

It's just that Chu Yanzhi had already turned his head and instructed Imperial Doctor Wu, so he didn't notice this strangeness in Xiao Xiwei's eyes, "Go down and prescribe medicine." ”

"Yes."

Imperial Physician Wu couldn't wait to get out of here quickly, because this prince's attitude towards Princess Yan was too ambiguous. It seems that the rumors about the crown prince and Princess Yan in the palace are really not groundless. However, it's just a matter of listening to these rumors, if a careful heart rolls over, then what awaits him, he really doesn't dare to think about it.

Therefore, when Chu Yan spoke, Imperial Physician Wu lowered his head in response, and hurriedly walked out in a few steps.

When Chu Yanzhi turned around again, Xiao Xiwei's expression had returned to normal, and even, a sneer had lifted on the corner of her lips, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really joking." ”

Chu Yanzhi smiled, not caring at all about Xiao Xiwei's cold words, "It may be a joke to others, but to you, this palace will never joke." ”

As soon as his words fell, the sneer on the corner of Xiao Xi's mouth gradually faded, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of complexity appeared in her indifferent eyes, "Chu Yanzhi, what do you want to do?" ”

Obviously it was just a questioning word, but I heard too much of her cold ridicule or false response to him, such a question suddenly seemed precious to Chu Yanzhi, as if, under the endless blows against the wall, he finally saw a faint light in front of him.

For the first time, she finally faced herself.

Although, just a questioning sentence was enough to make him ecstatic.

"Xiwei, what I want, you have always understood ......" Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei, and the joy in his eyes was undisguised.

The eyes are staggered.

For a long time, no one looked away.

Finally, Xiao Xi lowered his eyes and smiled, this time, there was no sarcasm in that smile, but there was an indescribable bitterness, "Before, I believed a person wholeheartedly, I believed everything he said, and I did whatever he wanted me to do, but do you know what he did to me?" ”

Looking at the bitterness and self-deprecation on Xiao Xiwei's face, Chu Yanzhi only felt an inexplicable stagnation in his chest, and he subconsciously spoke, "He, what did he do......"

Xiao Xi hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and the coldness and resentment at the bottom of his eyes seeped out bit by bit, "He put a fire ......"

The resentment at the bottom of his eyes was like a poisonous snake spitting a letter tightly around him, and at that moment, Chu Yanzhi suddenly felt that he couldn't move. He wanted to say that no matter what the man had done to her, but he wouldn't, he would definitely protect her. But the moment he touched the light of her eyes, he suddenly couldn't say anything.

At this time, Xiao Xiwei had already stood up, she walked to Chu Yanzhi step by step and stood still, then stood on tiptoe, put her lips to Chu Yanzhi's ear, and opened her mouth gently.

The warm breath and nose sprayed into Chu Yanzhi's ears, but there was no red heartbeat as he imagined, and even he felt that his heart was tightly pulled by a pair of invisible big hands, and the soles of his feet also had a cold coldness.

Because, what she said was—and then, he stood outside and watched mercilessly as the fire burned everything, including me.
