accomplice

For the next few days, Zuo Ji didn't see Li Xi again.

I didn't feel anything at first.

But after a long time, Zuo Ji inevitably began to feel strange.

He asked the servant who brought him meals, and they all said that Li Xi was busy recently and had been staying overnight in the study. At first Zuo Ji was willing to believe it, but as time passed, the more he felt that Li Xi was actually avoiding him.

But why?

Before, Li Xi teased him so much that he didn't want it.

Could it be because something really happened that day, so I have no face to see him now?

I'm not shy at all.

No, Li Xi was very proactive when he woke up that day!

By the way, did the two of them...?

Thinking of this, Zuo Ji frowned.

This doubt has been lingering in his mind.

After thinking about it, he decided to go and see what Li Xi was up to.

Think about it and act immediately.

After dinner, he slipped out of the room after the servants cleaned up.

He swayed all the way with his hands behind his back, looked left and right, pretended to be careless and came to the window of the study, squatted all of a sudden, and sneaked his head into the half-open window to peek.

The agile eyeballs moved left and right, observed for a long time, and came to the conclusion that there was no one in the study.

He frowned.

Didn't it say that people are in the study and are very busy?

What about people?

He was agile and got in from under the window.

There is really no one inside.

He wandered around in the study, came to Li Xi's usual seat, and sat down there too.

Look at the table, nothing special.

The paper is paper, the inkstone is the inkstone, and the arrangement is so neat that it is impeccable.

No one was there, and they said they were busy.

Zuo Jibai took a walk, regretfully pursed his lips.

Bored, he took a pen and paper, pretending to practice his hands, when he heard a "thumping" sound, and looked back, it turned out that a pigeon came by the window next to the pond on the side of the seat.

He frowned slightly.

He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but suddenly a vigorous orange shadow rushed in from outside the window and rushed towards the pigeon. With his sharp eyes and quick hands, he rescued the pigeon.

"Little thief!"

Zuo Ji gave Fat Ju a warning.

The fluffy fat orange was disappointed that he didn't pounce on the pigeon, so he flashed his small fangs at him. Finally, taking a leisurely fat catwalk, he jumped under the window and went to the lotus pond.

Zuo Ji knew it was a carrier pigeon, and he thought it must be very expensive to save it.

I planned to put it away, but I was a little curious when I saw the small metal cylinder tied to its feet.

What will be written inside?

He wants to see it.

But I also feel that it is not good to read other people's letters privately.

But what if there was something written about him in it?

Wouldn't that just fill his memory?

He wanted to know more anyway.

Eyes aimed at the metal cylinder.

Brilliant and golden, it has been tempting him all the time.

Do you want to see it or not?

Look, look.

With strong curiosity, he pulled out the small cloth strip from the cylinder, spread it out and examined it carefully, but he didn't think about it, the contents inside shocked him.

[The prime minister and his party members have been secretly moving recently, I hope you and Mo Jia seize the time to find out the whereabouts of Princess Zuo Ya from his son Zuo Ji as soon as possible.After finding Zuo Ya, take Zuo Ji as a hostage and take him to Beijing for safety. If necessary, kill him. 】

The door was suddenly pushed open, he looked up in panic, when Li Xi came in and saw what he was holding, his expression changed drastically.

Mo Jia, who came in with him, glanced at Li Xi, took a quick stride, grabbed Zuo Ji by the throat, and lifted him up.

His feet left the ground in an instant, his breath was cut off, Zuo Ji scratched in panic, his strength suddenly loosened, he fell to the ground, only to hear Mo Jia sternly questioning: "You want to betray the second prince?"

Zuo Ji looked up in embarrassment, and found that it was Li Xi who rescued him.

Li Xi and Mo Jia restrained each other, glared at each other, and fought like two tigers, arguing: "Nothing!"

"If you strangle him to death, how can we find Zuo Ya?"

Zuo Ji was terrified and hurried away.

He climbed and scrambled, got up and wanted to escape, but he didn't want to get hit on the back, his eyes went dark, and he passed out directly.

When he woke up again, he was lying on the bed.

Mo Jia is gone.

Li Xi was by his side, seeing that he was awake, he smiled lightly and asked, "Are you okay?"

Touching the back of his sore head, Zuo Ji glared at him, sat up with difficulty, seeing Li Xi wanting to help, directly: "Don't touch me!"

Seeing him like this, Li Xi knew that he blamed him, so he didn't bother with him.

The two sat there in silence.

After sitting for a long time, Zuo Ji took out the blue gauze handkerchief hidden under the pillow and threw it on Li Xi.

Li Xi was a little confused, so he took it to have a look, and finally handed it back to him.

Zuo Ji didn't answer.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while.

Li Xi put down his hands, wanting to break the estrangement, and asked him: "It's late at night, are you hungry?"

"Stop acting."

Zuo Ji raised his eyes coldly: "I'm not a fool."

He already knew that Li Xi had a problem.

He already knew what Zuo Ya was looking for.

But I didn't expect it to be so big.

In the past, Li Xi treated him well, teased him in all kinds of ways, and even saved him, but now it seems that it is very ridiculous.

Save him because he can't die here.

Everything else is actually trying to confuse him and win his trust.

He felt that he was still too young.

I don't know people's hearts.

Facing Li Xi's various flirtations, he was always stunned for a moment. He knew that something was wrong but never thought of leaving. Now it is impossible to escape.

He was depressed, and after serious consideration, he regretted taking out the gauze rashly.

He said to Li Xi: "To tell you the truth, Zuo Ya and I got separated, so I came back here to wait for her. I don't even know where she is."

Li Xi didn't speak.

Zuo Ji didn't look up at him either.

"Anyway, this is the truth. Believe it or not, it's up to you to kill or slash."

After finishing speaking, Zuo Ji angrily pulled back the blue scarf, stuffed it back into his pocket, pulled the quilt over, and muttered: "If I knew it, I would have left with that..."

It's okay not to say this.

As soon as he said that, his face was turned by Li Xi vigorously.

This strength is really great.

Extremely rude, it made Zuo Ji's jaw hurt.

Zuo Ji met Li Xi's eyes in panic, and found that his eyes were full of anger.

Fear suddenly rose in my heart.

Zuo Ji wanted to push his hand away, but he forcibly dispelled all the resistance and suppressed him on the bed.

Eyes widened.

The panic kept escalating.

Just at the right time, a voice from outside the door rang out, and the outside hurriedly knocked on the door: "...Third Master, Third Master, something happened!"

Li Xi frowned when he heard the old servant's voice.

He had a bad feeling in his heart, and immediately let go of Zuo Ji and got out of bed.

As soon as he left, Zuo Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

His cheeks were burning, his heart was pounding, he sat up, and was about to scold his mother, but when he thought that the man just now was an old servant, his curiosity arose again.

Could it be that something happened to Li's mansion?

He also got out of bed, wanting to sneak a look, but unexpectedly, Li Xi didn't go far, just stood at the door of the room and talked with the old servant.

Li Xi read the piece of paper that the old servant brought him, and angrily grabbed the paper into a ball.

The old servant was very anxious, and asked him: "Third Master, this...how can this be? Or...or I..."

"You don't have to do anything." After Li Xi said, he turned his head, glanced at Zuo Ji who was hiding aside sneakily, and said, "Let's just go."

Now that he was discovered, Zuo Ji walked out generously.

But he was very inexplicable, because he didn't know where he was going.

Seeing the way Li Xi looked at him, he was puzzled.

Li Xi approached, stared at him worriedly, and said, "Tomorrow, if you dare to go with Zhong Sheng, I will kill you."

Zuo Ji didn't know why, he was startled when he heard what he said.
