The night soon darkened.

Xiao Xiwei was not worried about the old lady, and personally went to Jingyuan to stare at the old lady after taking the medicine and falling asleep before coming out of Jingyuan, just walked a few steps, but saw his father's personal servant Changgui anxiously waiting at the gate of Jingyuan, and when he saw her come out, he hurriedly greeted her.

"Second Miss, the master is waiting for you in the study."

Xiao Xiwei couldn't help frowning.

Didn't my father enter the palace? Could it be that the matter has not been resolved? It's impossible, it's a pity that he promised himself.

With a hint of anxiety and doubt, Xiao Xiwei stepped into Xiao Yan's study.

In the study, Xiao Yan walked around anxiously.

"Father." Xiao Xiwei walked into the house, and was about to salute but was pulled up by Xiao Yan.

"Wei'er, something happened." Xiao Yan, who has always been calm and cold, flashed a trace of panic and anxiety in his eyes at this moment.

Xiao Xi was slightly stunned for a moment, a little confused, "Father, what's wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty King Yan, he has been assassinated." Xiao Yan said with a calm face.

He still planned to enter the palace overnight to face the saint to present his feelings, but he didn't want to, and suddenly a eunuch came to report that His Royal Highness King Yan had been assassinated, and he didn't believe it until he went to Jingren Palace with the emperor and saw the hideous wounds on Chu Xizhi's body.

Xiao Xi's heart sank slightly, and he subconsciously grabbed Xiao Yan's hand, and his sharp nails pierced Xiao Yan's palm deeply, "No, it's impossible!" Dad, how is he? Where's the injury? Does it matter? No way...... I'm going to enter the palace now. Xiao Xi muttered a few words slightly, and suddenly turned around and wanted to go out.

"Wei'er." Xiao Yan shouted vigorously.

Xiao Xi paused slightly, turned his face to look at Xiao Yan blankly, and his eyes that had always been cold were filled with tears of grief.

Such a look made Xiao Yan's heart soften, and in a trance, he remembered that Qing Wan had also looked at him with such eyes before leaving......

"Wei'er, you calm down first. Now that the palace door is locked, even if you want to enter the palace, you have to wait until tomorrow. ”

Xiao Xi's chest ached slightly, "Then, what should I do?" ”

He clearly said that she would rest assured, just wait at home with peace of mind, but how could this happen.

"Wei'er, you don't need to panic first. I wonder if maybe this assassination will be ...... The plan of His Royal Highness King Yan. Xiao Xiyan frowned slightly, and said in a low voice.

"Father, what do you mean by that......"

"I'm just guessing...... Xiao Yan took a deep breath, but his frowning brows didn't stretch out, "I heard that King Yan was besieged by twelve masked black-clothed men on the way back to the palace, and the four personal guards around King Yan were desperately guarded, and later alarmed the commander of the Nine Gates who patrolled the city, and those black-clothed people retreated as soon as they were defeated, and finally, those black-clothed people seemed to disappear near the Zhengguo Mansion." Xiao Yan said and paused, "The emperor has already sent someone to search the Zheng Guogong Mansion." ”

Listening to Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Xi gradually calmed down.

The prince has been grounded in the prince's mansion since he came back from winter hunting, even if Zheng Guogong Lu Guogong was blocked by the emperor several times to intercede, not only that, but the emperor suppressed the power of Zheng Guogong Lu Guogong several times, and vigorously supported Chu Xi to compete with Zheng Guogong Lu Guogong. Zheng Guogong and Lu Guogong have been standing in the court for many years, and naturally know the emperor's plan at this moment, one is sick and bedridden, and the other is serving the old mother at home, obviously planning to be quiet and not let the emperor grasp the handle. But now that this incident comes out, regardless of whether the assassin was sent by Zheng Guogong or not, the emperor will let Zheng Guogong sit on the charge, and then use this to pull out Zheng Guogong, a thorn that has been rooted in his heart for more than ten years. Because of this, the emperor naturally will not have the time to pursue these rumors that have no real evidence.

"His Royal Highness King Yan's move is really killing two birds with one stone!" Xiao Yan walked to the couch and sat down, looking at Xiao Xi's faint opening, and something of unknown meaning floated in his eyes.

When he saw Chu Xizhi covered in blood in Jingren Palace, he was shocked and frightened, Sihao did not suspect that he was really assassinated. Because, the knife in his chest was cut to the bone, and if he went in one more point, he was afraid that he would be killed on the spot. No one would be so themselves. However, on the way back, he calmed down and thought for a long time before suddenly thinking that maybe the assassination was just a bureau of Chu Xizhibu, in order to give the emperor a reason to uproot the Zheng Guogong Mansion, and as soon as the Zheng Guogong Mansion fell, he waited until one of the prince's arms was cut off.

For the first time, Xiao Yan was a little afraid of Chu Xizhi's heart.

His mind is so deep!

"Kill two birds with one stone?" Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly and repeated it in a low voice, and a little indescribable horror suddenly welled up in his chest.

The marriage between her and Chu Xizhi was secretly agreed to by the emperor, as long as her father showed her affection, the emperor should reprimand at most and then push the boat to expose this matter, Chu Xizhi shouldn't risk his life like this? Do you really want to kill two birds with one stone and take this opportunity to get rid of the Zheng Guogong Mansion? However, he and she both knew that it was only a matter of time before the emperor wanted to get rid of Zheng Guogong and Lu Guogong, so why did he have to do it in such a hurry?

Too much to figure out made Xiao Xiwei feel flustered inexplicably.

She always felt as if there was an invisible net in it, and she couldn't see who was holding it.

Late at night.

Gyeongin Palace.

The candlesticks on the lampstand were half burned, and the dim light flickered slightly, reflecting the pale and handsome faces of the people on the bed.

"Father, is the mother gone?" Chu Xizhi leaned in front of the bed, raised his eyes and pulled out a pale smile at the emperor.

The emperor stood in front of the bed with his back to the light, looking at Chu Xizhi with a gloomy expression, and after a long time, he said, "You are so old, it is time for your mother to save snacks." ”

Chu Xizhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Yes, Erchen wrote it down." ”

"Does the wound still hurt?" The emperor asked again.

"Originally, in order not to let my father laugh at me, I gritted my teeth and said that it didn't hurt, but ......" Chu Xizhi gasped, the two good-looking sword eyebrows were tightly twisted, and said with a bitter face, "Father, why did you say that those guys have no sense of proportion at all, it really hurts me to death." ”

The emperor looked at Chu Xizhi, and finally sighed lightly, "You, you deserve it, who made you make such a self-assertion." ”

"Isn't this worrying about my father?"

The emperor snorted coldly, "Is it for me or your fiancée!" ”

Chu Xizhi grinned, "Both." ”

"It's a pity, is that girl from the Xiao family really so important to you?" The emperor looked at Chu Xizhi, and his deep pupils were as deep as bottomless lake.

"Yes. She is a woman recognized by her sons. Chu Xizhi put away the cynical smile on his face, and his expression gradually became solemn, "In this life, I will identify her." ”

The emperor stared at Chu Xizhi.

The eyes of the two intertwined in the air, and for a long time, neither of them spoke.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Guogong shouted that he wanted to see you." Zhang Gonggong, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, walked in and said in a low voice.

The emperor's eyes moved, and he looked at Chu Xizhi and finally spoke, "You can take care of your injuries." With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Father, she ...... that little"

The emperor stopped and raised his eyes to look at Chu Xizhi, "You have identified her all your life, what else can I say." ”

Chu Xi smiled, "Father, in fact, the son has a reluctant request." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "What else do you have to do?" ”

Chu Xizhi raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed lightly, "Father, can you announce that Second Miss Xiao will enter the palace tomorrow?" You see that Erchen is so badly injured, you can't have someone around you to take care of. ”

The emperor glanced at Chu Xi, and finally threw down a sentence, "Whatever you want." Then he led Gonggong Zhang out of Jingren Palace.

As soon as the emperor left, a black shadow quietly appeared in Jingren Palace.

"Your Highness." Ye raised his eyes and walked to Chu Xizhi's side, stretched out his hand to lift the quilt, leaned over and sniffed Chu Xizhi's body for a while, and then covered the quilt for Chu Xizhi and retreated a few steps before shaking his head at Chu Xizhi.

Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, right now, he won't do anything to me." With that, he raised his eyes and looked at the night again, "How is the Zheng Guo Mansion going over there?" ”

"According to what His Royal Highness said, Zheng Guogong has been taken, other female dependents have also been imprisoned, and Zheng Lin, the son of Zheng Guogong, has escaped from the capital." Ye lowered his eyes and replied calmly.

Chu Xizhi hooked the corners of his lips, "That's very good." ”

As soon as Zheng Lin left the capital, he would immediately go to the Northwest Horse City to bring the news of Zheng Guogong's arrest to his eldest brother Zheng Lu, and the only choice of the two brothers Zheng Lin and Zheng Lu was to take the Northwest Horse City to the Northern Desert King. And the emperor will never allow this to happen, so he will send people to secretly hunt down Zheng Lin on the one hand, and quickly send people to recapture Northwest Ma City on the other hand. And the one closest to the northwest and has enough troops to take down the Zheng family brothers is the only one who is loyal and brave to wait for Xiao Qi.

"Your Highness." Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at his master.

Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled, "What, you still have something?" ”

A rare trace of embarrassment appeared on Ye Bing's cold and stiff face, he pursed the corners of his lips, and finally said, "Ziyan sent a message to me, saying that Second Miss Xiao already knew the news of His Highness's injury. ”

Chu Xizhi frowned.

Xiwei, like him, is a reliving life, with the memories of her previous life, although he doesn't want her to be involved in many things, but in this life, she is smart and calm and shocks him. Perhaps, she had sensed something.

He turned his eyes slightly sideways, looking at the white cloak hanging on the hanger, and a few faint sighs suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Tell Ziyan that someone will take her into the palace tomorrow."

"Yes." The night answered, and then the body shook, and the house fell silent.

Wei'er, many times I would rather you be like in your previous life, ignorant and innocent, and shut off all the calculations and darkness outside. However, we who are reborn with memories are destined to bear the shackles of fate heavier than others. However, as long as you are by my side, no matter what stands in my way, I will be desperate to smash it and tear it up.

Since it has been against the sky once, then, I am not afraid to go against the sky a second time!

For you, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of me, I will not hesitate to jump!
