Early in the morning, Huo Yunsi and Li Jieyou had just finished their meal when they heard the report from the servant outside.

"There was a female corpse floating outside the moat. People from the government salvaged it and said it was Lian'er who left the mansion yesterday. Look, my lord, what should I do?"

Huo Yun frowned, and cleaned his hands, "What did the people from the county government say?"

"Returning to the prince, the autopsy in the yamen said that he slipped into the water and drowned."

The hand that was swimming in the water paused, Huo Yunsi closed his eyes, and sighed, "I didn't expect it to be so fast, it's all life."

Li Jieyou was not much better, she didn't like Lian'er, but she never thought of letting her die in this way, and there was an indescribable emotion in her eyes, both sadness and pity, and then Turning to the boy, he said, "Find some people to carry her back, after all, she used to be a member of the palace."

"and many more--"

Just as he was about to retreat, he was stopped again, only to hear Li Jieyou say: "Let the maids find some clean clothes and change them for her when she comes back."

The boy looked up at Li Jieyou, his heart was full of doubts, it stands to reason that Lian'er was the prince's maid, and the princess should hate her to the bone, but he didn't expect that after her death, it was the princess who arranged her funeral. It's rare for the princess to ignore the previous suspicions, and the servant stepped back while muttering: "The princess has a kind heart."

After the little servant walked out of the door, Li Jieyou turned his face away, looked at Huo Yunsi and said slowly: "Did you expect it a long time ago?"

Huo Yunsi was a little surprised at being calm, as if it wasn't a person who died, but a cat and a dog.

"This is her life. This king has tried to keep her, but she doesn't cherish it. Even if Huo Yunxin doesn't do anything now, sooner or later, if this king doesn't drive her away now, he will have to drive her out one day." Huo Yun frowned and continued. Said: "Her death was expected. She was originally a pawn, but she wanted to stay out of it. This is a big taboo in Huo Yunxin's eyes. To get rid of her until now, she must have endured to the limit. After all, it is her Overreaching."

"You are brothers, do you have to fight to the death?" Li Jieyou's eyes were shining, and his fingers were tightly clasped on the armrest of the seat.

"Brother? Hmph——" Huo Yunsi let out a disdain, and sneered, "Father has many sons, but there is only one emperor. The prince who grew up in the palace never knew what brotherhood is."

Li Jieyou looked at her straight, his throat seemed to be blocked, even if he had thousands of words, he couldn't express them.

"You are my wife, I don't want you to get involved in the past, I just want to leave you with the best." Huo Yunsi said affectionately, stroking her temples with his fingers.

"Yunsi, can't we not fight?" Li Jieyou took advantage of the situation and scratched his fingers on his face, "It's not that easy to be an emperor. It's not a world for one person, it's a world for all people. I only want a husband." , a husband who loves me and loves me, I don’t ask for the rest.”

Huo Yunsi frowned, his eyes were deep, he slowly pulled his fingers away, and looked at Li Jieyou with a helpless look, "It's too late, I have been fighting for more than 20 years, for the throne, I gave up everything, and finally left Now, I can't let it go."

"Even if it's for me, won't it work?!"

"no!"

Tears welled up in his eyes in an instant, Huo Yunsi looked at Li Jieyou's tears, but compromised, and stretched out his hand to embrace him in his arms, "Don't cry, it's my fault that made you sad."

"I just want to be an ordinary wife and have an ordinary husband. I don't understand all your burdens, but the only thing I know is that I can't live without you."

Huo Yunsi didn't know what to say, how could such crying keep her still, her arms tightened a bit, and she said with a choked sob: "I promise you, you won't lose me."

Virtuous home.

Fu Qing got up very early these days, and had to hand over another list to the dining room every day.

"It's so early in the morning, what's the noise?" Fu Qing was writing this in the study when he heard Fu Lixuan's voice coming from afar.

"You still think I'm noisy, but I want to ask you, what are you going to do now!" Fu Lixuan raised his sword eyebrows behind his hands, as if he wanted to teach someone a lesson.

Fu Qing glanced outside, didn't say much, but reached out and dragged Fu Lixuan into the study.

It's okay not to enter the study room, but as soon as he entered, Fu Lixuan saw a soft couch next to the desk, and the quilts of blue and white mandarin ducks were folded squarely.

"You, you are using this as your bedroom!"

Fu Qing frowned, and said displeasedly: "Yes, so what?"

Fu Lixuan's eyebrows were already on fire, seeing her still calm and calm, he was so angry, pointing to the bedside, he said: "You are still a girl who hasn't left the court! Let a man live in your boudoir. Is it plausible! If Daddy finds out, you will live or not!"

"Are you so angry because of these things?"

"Otherwise! Is there anything more serious than this!" Fu Lixuan crossed his hips and looked at Fu Qing in disbelief.

Fu Qing brushed off his sleeves, walked to the side desk and sat down, picked up the pen again, and did not look up until he finished writing, "She saved me. "

"People really need to be saved, but you don't have to do it yourself, do you?" Fu Lixuan held back for a while, and finally couldn't help it: "I think you have other plans."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Fu Qing threw the pen on the table with a snap, her brows raised high, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own discretion, if you want to tell daddy, then you go!"

Fu Lixuan saw that Fu Qing was a little angry, so he restrained his words a lot, and frowned, "How could I tell daddy! Don't you know which side I'm on! It's just, just—" Fu Lixuan went back and forth Pacing around the room, she finally stopped, looked at Fu Qing and sighed, "She is not good enough for you."

"Whether it is worthy or not is my own business."

"you--"

Fu Qing interrupted what Fu Lixuan was about to say, and shook her head, "You don't need to say more, she and I are not what you think, saving her like this, I just don't want to owe her, you know, I don't like it the most It's just a favor, not to mention that she saved such a big favor from me, when she recovers, I will naturally not keep her."

Fu Lixuan looked at Fu Qing thoughtfully, and after a while, he nodded, "It's best." After speaking, he opened the door and went out.

Fu Qing took a deep breath, turned his gaze to the paper on the table, and called the maid outside, "This is today's meal, let the dining room prepare it."

"Yes, Miss." The servant girl took the paper from Fu Qing and left obediently.

In fact, what Fu Qing did was just what she wanted to do, but to Jiang Li, she didn't like it. After all, the two of them had different identities. One underground, if you do too much, you will only fall into gossip.

"Why don't you drink the medicine?" Fu Qing walked to the bed, but looked at the medicine bowl on the table, it was not steaming anymore, it must be cold.

"If I drink it, will you come?" Jiang Li's body was still very weak, as if she wasn't the one who fought against three that day.

"If you want to see me, just go and tell the maid, why use this way."

Although Fu Qing did everything by himself, they rarely met each other. Those who were sure to go said that Fu Qing didn't see her. Even if he wanted to see her, he just stood at the door and wandered. .

"Cough-cough-"

"Drink the medicine first. If you have anything to say, let's talk after drinking the medicine. I won't leave." Fu Qing took the medicine, but thought it was wrong to feed her, so he just held the bowl in the air.

Jiang Li seemed to see her difficulty, took the initiative to take the bowl over, and said with a smile, "I drank it by myself these days, it's not that serious, miss is interested, ahem—"

A bowl of medicine soon bottomed out.

Fu Qing took the empty bowl and saw that there was soup overflowing from the corner of her mouth, so he picked up the silk handkerchief in his hand and wiped it for her.

"Cough—I, come by myself."

Fu Qing didn't know why his face felt a little hot, he loosened the silk handkerchief, turned around with the medicine bowl in his hand, and said slowly: "What's the matter with you, tell me."

Jiang Li struggled to support his arms and sat up straight, "I want to go back to the palace—"

Fu Qing just said something like being shocked, turned around suddenly, his eyes widened, "Do you still think I want to harm you?"

"no--"

"There is no poison in that wine. If I had known that you were poisoned and could not drink alcohol, I would never have done that!"

Jiang Li didn't speak any more, but patiently waited for Fu Qing to finish his words, a smile seemed to flow from his eyes, and he said after a long time: "I know there is no poison in that wine, but I just don't want to live, with you It’s nothing to do, it’s my fault for causing you to misunderstand like this.”

Fu Qing seemed to have expected her to say this, and even retaliated, "You don't want to live, it has nothing to do with me, so it has nothing to do with you if I save you."

"Fu Qing!" Jiang Li called her abruptly. This was the first time she had used her first and last name. She looked deeply, with a different meaning in her eyes, and she shook her head: "I don't deserve it."

"Whether you deserve it or not is not up to you, it's up to me to decide!" Fu Qing's strength and stubbornness are innate, and no one can change what she decides.

"I'm not worth it. I've defiled you once, and I don't want to hurt you again." This was what Jiang Li said in his heart. What happened that night was not only a knot in Fu Qing's heart, but also a knot in her heart.

"No matter what you think of me, I have to admit that I was different that night, at least to you. I once said that if I had to choose again, I would still do it. It's not just Because I don't want you to die, and because you are too beautiful, but I am a thief, I stole your beauty, so I am not worth saving, do you understand?"

"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand." Fu Qing deliberately let himself ignore what happened that night. If Jiang Li hadn't been poisoned by him, maybe they wouldn't meet again, but now Fu Qing can't let himself sit idly by. Ignore "You stay here, and when you recover, I won't stop you wherever you want to go, but now you can only stay here."

"Oh, you are really domineering."

Fu Qing didn't bother to talk to her, and didn't want to think too much, so she turned around and walked out. When she just stepped on the door, she heard a faint voice behind her, "Don't you like me?"

"dream!"

After speaking, the door slammed shut with a bang.

Jiang Li leaned against the head of the bed, carefully watching everything in the room, clutching the quilt tightly in his hands, and took a deep breath, it was her fragrance.

Fengyi Hall.

"Look at it." Xie Zhaorong pointed at the portrait on the table, his eyes were full of contempt.

Huo Yunsi probably guessed what it was, but he was still not sure. He walked over and opened the scroll with a folding fan. It was a woman with a delicate face, frowning slightly, "Rouge?"

"Do you know her?" Xie Zhaorong's voice raised a little, and then fell down again, "That's right, she was presented by Huo Yunxin, and you should know what she says, but I'll tell you one more thing, you definitely don't know thing."

Xie Zhaorong turned around and took a sip of tea, "Yun Xin got this rouge from Lingshan. He said he was talented. Even Qin Tianjian said that the astrological changes came from blessings, and your father's health is indeed better than before. There are many, so I firmly believe in this, and the two brothers Yun Xin and Yun Li also took the limelight. A few days ago, I played chess with your father. The meaning behind the words is probably to restore Yun Xin and Yun Li Throne."

Huo Yunsi stared at the portrait in the painting. Speaking of which, this Rouge was not as big as Li Jieyou, but emperors always liked young and beautiful women, how could Huo Zheng be an exception, no matter how beautiful Liu Huan was, she was already late.

"It's still Yun Xin and Yun Li who are very good, and they can find a woman from a long distance. Compared with this, my son can only bow down."

Xie Zhaorong was not annoyed, looked at Huo Yunsi and said: "If you have this spare time, don't play tricks here in this Palace, if you are capable, you can find a woman here, maybe your father will treat you differently."

"Hehe——" Huo Yunsi laughed and shook his head, "I really want to find a woman, can you let me go?"

"There are so many women in this harem that I can't count them. How can I care if there are one or two more? The biggest thing I can do to be able to sit on the position of empress is not to be jealous."

Not jealous?Ha - I'm afraid she is the most jealous person in the world.

If it's not speculative, it's more than half a sentence, and the conversation between myself and Xie Zhaorong is over. If we continue to talk, I'm afraid it will cause unpleasantness again.

Huo Yunsi got up and inserted the folding fan into the collar of the nape of his neck, and brushed off the gold-rimmed dragon claws on his sleeves, "Let's stop talking for today, I'm a little tired, so I'm going back home first."

How could Xie Zhaorong not understand her, waved his hand, and turned his face away, "Let's go, let's go, you don't want to see Bengong again, well, you won't be upset if you leave."

Huo Yunsi didn't say any more, because what Xie Zhaorong said was indeed the truth. Most of the time, she didn't want to see her mother. After all, this is the way they get along with each other. Maybe it's very sad to outsiders. But in Huo Yunsi's eyes, this couldn't be better, what she wanted was to get rid of Xie Zhaorong.
