"marry" to your nemesis

Ding Yi obediently took A Yao and Tang Xiao away, and then Feng Ling entered the Princess's mansion alone, walking in a familiar direction.

"Ling'er is back." Li Ruo sat in front of the mirror, looked at herself, and smiled broadly, "Come and have a look, I haven't seen you for dozens of days, am I getting old again?"

"The eldest princess will never grow old." Feng Ling stepped forward and sat down respectfully.

Li Ruo smiled, "Is there anyone in this world who is not old? I... definitely can't compare to you little girls in their teens and twenties."

"Look at the eldest princess, she is only in her early twenties."

"You girl, why are you so good at talking all of a sudden?" Li Ruo was in a good mood, got up with a smile and walked to Feng Ling's side, looked carefully and said, "It seems that the improvement is not bad, it seems that this trip to Luocheng, Apart from helping Bengong find the gold and silver, you seem to have gained something else?"

"The subordinates have found out evidence of Mr. Zhang's corruption and breaking the law. If the eldest princess is willing, I can—"

"That person has only been in office for two or three years, no matter how greedy he is, how much money can he have? Besides, it's not good to scare them with his actions recently." Li Ruo hooked his lips and smiled, charming all living beings.

She walked in front of Feng Ling, bent her fingers slightly, and lifted Feng Ling's chin, "How about the two little girls I met in Luo City this time?"

"I came here this time because I wanted to report this matter to the eldest princess."

"Ok?"

"I think...the two of them don't really have any real skills, and the suppression of the bandits this time is just luck. There is absolutely no need for them to come to Yuyang City."

"Oh, if you really don't have the ability, just let them go back." Li Ruo smiled relaxedly, "Besides, there are many uses for girls. I heard that the two girls are very good-looking. Beautiful."

"Yes, she looks pretty good, but my sister is crippled, and my sister's character is a bit rebellious."

"Heh, it doesn't matter if you're lame or disobedient, there will be a way to discipline you when the time comes." Li Ruo lowered her eyes, and her smile gradually faded, "By the way, it's just the right time for you to come back. There is something to do here. I'll do it for you."

"The eldest princess ordered."

"Recently, I heard that the people in the Li family are a little disorganized, as if they were secretly investigating what happened back then. You know, I don't like such troublesome people."

"The Li family that the eldest princess mentioned...is Prime Minister Li's family?"

"Otherwise? They are the only Li family that can make me feel uncomfortable." Li Ruo helped Feng Ling straighten his clothes, and then said softly, "In two days, you go and get rid of them all for me." .”

"……Yes."

After explaining some trivial matters, Li Ruo and Feng Ling went to the banquet place together.

In the living room, Tang Xiao and A Yao were already sitting there.

"Hey, are these the Xiao sisters from Luocheng?" As soon as Li Ruo entered, she saw Tang Xiao.

She clearly recognized Tang Xiao's appearance, but her expression remained calm, without any sign of surprise or shock.

She looked like she just met Tang Xiao just now.

After Tang Xiao clasped his fingers secretly, he came back to his senses under A Yao's slapping secretly.The two nodded gracefully, and said softly, "I have seen the eldest princess."

"The little girl is quite obedient." After Li Ruowu took his seat, he waved his hand towards the servant.

Everyone retreated, and there were only four people left in the hall.

"The two of you have come to Yuyang City, what are your plans?" Li Ruo took a sip of the tea she had prepared earlier.

Tang Xiao didn't know what to say, so he looked at A Yao nervously.

A Yao answered calmly, "If you come to Yuyang City, if you can get the appreciation of the eldest princess and give us two sisters a meal, it will be the best. But if the eldest princess dislikes our sisters' stupidity, then we two sisters will be happy." Thinking about doing some small business in the city to make a living."

"You are not stupid, you helped the emperor to recapture the gold and silver, and wiped out the bandits. It is a great achievement." Holding down the tea bowl, Li Ruo smiled brightly, "The emperor clearly rewards and punishes, and the reward has already been sent to me. Here you go. As for the future..."

Li Ruo raised her eyes and looked at Tang Xiao.

For a moment, the expression in Li Ruo's eyes changed unpredictable.

In the end she smiled slightly and said, "You are so likable, I naturally want to keep you by my side. It's just...the court has court rules, even if I want to keep you, you have to follow the rules. "

"What is the eldest princess' order?" A Yao is a smart person, and she answered without ambiguity.

Li Ruo likes smart people, so she couldn't help but look at A Yao more.

Immediately she laughed and said, "You have to help me complete one thing. If it is completed, I will keep you. If it cannot be completed... I have nothing to do."

"it is good!"

"..."

A Yao answered too quickly, so fast that Tang Xiao didn't even have time to raise any doubts.

And right now, she has even less chance to speak.

Tang Xiao pursed his lips and lowered his head without saying a word.

Li Ruo noticed her and smiled, "It seems that sister is not very happy?"

"No!" Tang Xiao was a little nervous, and answered a little too quickly.

But when she raised her head and met Li Ruo's eyes, her mind flashed everything that she had experienced in the prison that day.

Darkness, pain, despair...

Everything is intertwined together, making her heart tighten suddenly, and then——

"No, it's just that the girl is a little uneasy, afraid that she will be too dull and not be able to do what the eldest princess asked her to do." Tang Xiao answered calmly, with an even more indifferent expression.

When Li Ruo saw it, he immediately laughed out loud.

"Little girl, don't underestimate yourself, I know you are capable. But..." Li Ruo dragged out the ending, and turned to look at Feng Ling, "But it's really inconvenient for you to come here for the first time, so you all follow Feng Ling Let Ling do it together, okay?"

Li Ruo's words made Tang Xiao, who had just straightened his back, suddenly have the urge to run away.

But think about it carefully, for such a long distance from Luo City to Yuyang City, they are all in peace with each other, so why bother to think about it?

Thinking of this, Tang Xiao nodded, "Okay."

But when she withdrew her gaze and turned her head to look at A Yao, she faintly felt that the smile on the corner of A Yao's mouth was fading.

Didn't Ah Yao think so?

But Tang Xiao didn't care to think about it, because at this moment, Li Ruo said lightly from the side, "Just in time, I want Feng Ling to fetch some things these few days, so you can go with her."

"Get something?" Tang Xiao raised his eyebrows, faintly feeling that this matter seemed too simple.

But with Li Ruo's status, she definitely won't break her promise.

So Tang Xiao nodded, then looked at Feng Ling and said, "If there is anything wrong along the way, please forgive me, Lord Guan."

Feng Ling pursed her lips, her handsome face couldn't express any emotion.

But her eyes.

Especially the way she looked at her.

Tang Xiao faintly felt that he might have missed something.

what is it then?

Tang Xiao didn't think about it until the banquet ended.

"Ding Yi, send the two of you back to Lingxi Palace." Li Ruo wiped her mouth and gave orders as usual.

Feng Ling nodded to Ding, and Ding Yi followed suit.

After watching everyone leave the door, Li Ruo turned his head and told Feng Ling, "Remember what I told you today."

"Yes."

"Remember!" Li Ruo's eyes suddenly darkened, and the coldness struck, making people shudder, "If someone dares to stop you, you will kill that person too! Do you know?"

"……Yes!"

Feng Ling answered decisively, without any omissions.

But Li Ruo could feel the fluctuations in Feng Ling's body. She couldn't help but curl her lips and smiled, "I taught you since you were a child that you shouldn't be too emotional. What's more, most of your tasks are related to killing , if you have emotions, it will only hurt yourself, you know?"

"I... know!"

"Feng Ling, I have always treated you like a daughter, you must...don't break my heart, let me down..."

"Feng Ling remembers the eldest princess's kindness in nurturing, and vows to follow the eldest princess to the death, and will never let the eldest princess down!"

The wind is blowing slowly, and the heat of summer is gone, only the coolness of the autumn wind is left.

"You're too impulsive." On the way back, Ayao lowered her voice and sighed slightly.

Tang Xiao was puzzled, "When you promised her, you should have known that she would not trust us easily."

"But follow Feng Ling to act..." A Yao raised her head and looked at Tang Xiao.

Her eyes were submerged in the night, making it difficult to be seen.

But Tang Xiao could feel that Ayao at this time didn't seem to be as indifferent as before.

"She is familiar with you, and the task given by the eldest princess sounds so simple this time, she probably wants to use Feng Ling to test you." A Yao frowned slightly, "I'm afraid that there will be a business trip in the middle."

"No." Tang Xiao said firmly, "With you here, nothing will go wrong."

Hearing this, the corners of A Yao's mouth raised.

But the bitterness is more than comforting.

When dealing with Feng Ling, there are still some painful spots to grasp.

But that eldest princess Li Ruo...

The fear that shrouded A Yao's heart like a demon, and it took her three whole years to calm down, now climbed to the heartache again.

It turns out that sometimes hatred cannot cover up fear.

Such a woman is really chilling.

"Ayao, do you think I said something wrong tonight?" Tang Xiao felt a little uneasy when he saw that Ayao hadn't spoken for a long time.

A Yao smiled and shook her head, "There is no limit between right and wrong, but I haven't figured out what the eldest princess's intentions are. After all, for such a trivial matter as fetching things, it is overkill for the master of Lingxi Palace to come forward, so why bother to let the two How about going alone?"

This matter is indeed a bit strange, Tang Xiao also considered it before.

It's just that guessing is meaningless, I can only stare at the arrival of the next day, and then make plans...

In the end, after A Yao and Tang Xiao moved into the guest room of Lingxi Palace under Ding Yi's arrangement.

Just when Tang Xiao was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on her door.

"Who?"

"I."

Tang Xiao could hear the sound alone.

It's Feng Ling.
