The harem and the court have always been inseparable. Several forces in the court are currently undercurrents due to political affairs.Those concubines who are not favored and content with the status quo can still hold back their thoughts of rushing to Anjing Palace to test, but the concubines who have a prince and urgently need to find a way out for the prince can't sit still, and can't help but use the name of giving gifts Go to Anjing Palace immediately to inquire about the news.
Xia Xi is still sleeping at the moment.But he didn't sleep well - this room always reminded him of the past when he was trapped and Jiang Zhanwei's desperate expression, he even had a dream without thinking in a daze, and finally in Jiang Zhanwei's painful and desperate Woke up with a start in his eyes.
Then with his keen hearing, he heard the noisy voices outside, and said to the eunuch waiting in the corner: "Who is here?"
The eunuch looked unremarkable, but his demeanor was restrained and composed, and his breath was steady and vigorous. When he heard Xia Xi's voice, he immediately replied: "It's not someone important, just some people who came here to give gifts."
It is estimated that those who work under Jiang Zhanwei have also inherited his calmness in dealing with things, and only use the three words of "gift-giving" to summarize those pampered concubines, and continue to say to Xia Xi respectfully: "But it's disturbing your rest? The servant is going to clear people away."
"No need," Xia Xi couldn't sleep anyway, sat up, "I'll go out and have a look."
The originally noisy environment quieted down immediately after Xia Xi appeared, so quiet that only the sound of the wind blowing leaves could be heard.Those concubines didn't expect to see someone so easily, let alone a young man who looked far less than a weak crown, they were all stunned, and it was Xia Xi who pretended to be puzzled and asked first: "...Are you here?" ?”
For so many years, Jiang Zhanwei has neither been close to women nor accepted wives and concubines. It has long been rumored that he likes men, so the time everyone was in a daze was not too long.Concubine An, who was standing in the front, was the first to react, and walked forward with a smile, without mentioning a word of her original intention, and temporarily changed her words, saying that she dreamed of the scene of enjoying flowers and chatting with Concubine Xu last night. It is nostalgia, so I want to go to Anjing Palace today to remember the old man.
When she spoke, she kept observing Xia Xi quietly, and so did the others present.I saw the boy's eyes were clear and bright, and he looked careless. When he looked up, the black and white pupils seemed to be talking, making people unable to move his eyes away.
After everyone observed the appearance, they looked at the clothes,——Xia Xi's robe today was worn by Jiang Zhanwei himself, and it was specially ordered by Jiang Zhanwei two days ago. The materials and embroidery are extremely expensive and exquisite. The jade pendant hanging is even more valuable, and the quality of the jade is exactly the same as the one worn by Jiang Zhanwei.
Men have always been generous only to those they like and care about. Just by looking at this piece of jade, one can see the status of the young man in Jiang Zhanwei's heart.It's unbelievable that someone like Jiang Zhanwei would be tempted by someone.
Thinking of this, An Bin's smile widened even further.In fact, she has no friendship with Jiang Zhanwei's biological mother, and Xia Xi nodded her head just now, "It turns out that, if Empress Concubine Xu knows about it, she will definitely miss you." The scorching sun said politely, "It's too hot outside, do you want to come in for a cup of tea?"
——Not only did they not have any doubts about An Bin's words, but they even invited them in. Everyone felt that the boy was as innocent and innocent as they thought.However, due to the prestige of the King of War, everyone still had to pretend to be respectful, and at the same time began to talk and test without any trace.
And the more they tried, the more they felt that the boy was extremely naive.
It must be because he is still young and has not been deeply involved in the world. He almost believes what he says and answers what he asks. Although he can't answer because he doesn't know much, the look on his face does not seem to be fake.
Men who have been on the battlefield have gone through too many killings and touched too much blood. Perhaps the most irresistible thing is this kind of innocence.
Everyone at the scene had a pair of piercing eyes trained in Gongdou, and they all felt that they could not make mistakes in judging people. Seeing Xia Xi like this, they couldn't help but relax their posture.They were not supposed to stay for a long time, and they got the news they wanted. Seeing that it was almost noon, they all prepared to leave. He kindly asked Xia Xi if he had prepared a birthday gift.
It's a pity that Xia Xi used "I haven't known Jiang Zhanwei for a short time, so I don't know what he likes" as an excuse, shook his head and answered no, but instead asked Concubine An: "Do you know what Zhanwang likes?"
No one knows what the King of War likes.
Princess Hua'an mustered up the courage to ask face to face but was prevented from coming down from the stage. I still remember how many people who wanted to curry favor with him were rejected, and how many people who wanted to put him to death couldn't find any loopholes to take advantage of. Otherwise, everyone would not have the courage to come to Anjing Palace today.But there was a voice from far away, "Is it the birthday gift of King Zhan?"
The one who spoke was Concubine Liu Gui who had caused trouble in Anjing Palace but didn't get half a cent of it.As the most beloved concubine of the old emperor, she also had two outstanding princes. She did have the qualifications and reasons for making troubles. Her eldest son, Nan Wang, was the number one enemy of the Zhan Wang in court.
Of course, in Jiang Zhanwei's opinion, the word 'strong rival' is far from qualified, but the word 'number one' is barely worthy.Concubine Liu Gui stepped into the room calmly, and continued: "I have something to recommend here. It is a black bear dog that both the emperor and the emperor liked. The emperor himself raised two dogs when he was alive, and this one is their offspring. , a pure breed, smart and alert, and has been specially trained, especially when hunting, it is the best helper to round up prey. In a few months, it will be autumn hunting, and the king of war is brave and good at fighting and is good at riding and shooting. He should give this gift would like it."
These words sound very reasonable, and there are no loopholes to be found, but Xia Xi narrowed his eyes slightly where Concubine Liu Gui couldn't see, "Black bear dog?"
Concubine Liu Gui nodded, "Yes, purebred black bear dogs are rare, should the dog supervisor bring them over to have a look?"
Xia Xi didn't answer immediately, but bent his fingers and tapped the table lightly with his knuckles.This is a gesture he only makes when he is unhappy, but unfortunately no one at the scene can understand it. After knocking, he raised his head, raised his lips and smiled sweetly, "Okay."
Xia Xi knew that Jiang Zhanwei didn't like dogs.The bullying that Jiang Zhanwei received during his childhood was not only simple pranks, but also fatal events such as being surrounded and bitten by dogs. The breed of dogs was black bear dogs.
The black bear dog was quickly brought by the dog supervisor. It was tall, with thick bones, and its black coat shone brightly under the light. Its sharp minions seemed to be able to tear people apart easily, and every part of its body was full of strength.Fortunately, they were indeed trained as Concubine Liu Guifei said, and they were obediently tied by ropes, without any aggressive behavior or overreaction.
—— Xia Xi agreed to the dog supervisor to bring the dog over because he thought of a scene to deal with Concubine Liu Gui, but he didn't expect Jiang Zhanwei to come back at this time.He obviously rushed to Anjing Palace before he finished his work, and his pace was so fast that the attendants who followed him were left far behind, but he froze when he saw the black bear dog.
But in the end, he held back his disgust and repulsion towards the wolf dog and continued to walk towards Xia Xi, just like a giant dragon was born to guard its treasure.But the change occurred in this second. When Jiang Zhanwei approached, the black bear dog suddenly became restless.
It started roaring and writhing like an inexplicable outbreak of rabies, with unimaginable force, the dog prisoner couldn't control it at all, and broke free from the dog prisoner's grasp in the next moment, rushing forward like a headless fly.Jiang Zhanwei was the first to bear the brunt in front of him, but Jiang Zhanwei, who had always reacted quickly, stopped in place at this moment and did not move, but in the blink of an eye, the aggressive wolfhound had already rushed to him.
Manic low growls and drooling fangs also rushed forward, and the sealed childhood memories rushed to his face, reappearing in Jiang Zhanwei's mind.Everyone knows that the bite disease is severe. It is possible to be rescued if bitten by a normal dog. Once bitten by a mad dog, there is no cure. So not only Jiang Zhanwei was stunned, but also the frightened palace people, and even Including the bodyguard who pounced on the former Savior.
But not including Xia Xi.
Xia Xi had already come to Jiang Zhanwei's side at the fastest speed, raised his hand and pushed Jiang Zhanwei behind him, and at the same time drew out the sword from Jiang Zhanwei's waist with his other hand.
The Dayu Dynasty emphasized martial arts, and it regarded gentlemen wearing swords as an elegant practice. From the royal family down to the common people, they all had the habit of wearing swords. With Jiang Zhanwei's current power, he even ignored the rule of "no weapons are allowed when going to court". This sword is unparalleled in sharpness, cutting iron like mud.When Jiang Zhanwei came back to his senses, his expression changed drastically, but he had already been pushed behind by Xia Xi, and it was too late to protect Xia Xi anyway, only to see Xia Xi gracefully and quickly pulled out the sword at his waist, and the cold light flashed. Dodge, at the critical moment of being bitten, a sword cut off the head of the wolf dog to the ground.
Blood was also spilled on the ground, the dog's corpse fell down suddenly, and the surrounding palace people belatedly exclaimed, only Xia Xi remained unchanged, and turned his head to show Jiang Zhanwei a slight smile.The young man's eyes were still clear and bright, he seemed to have no intentions, his hands were clean, as if he was not the one who killed the life just now, and his smile was as beautiful as when he said goodbye to Concubine Liu Gui.
But it was too clean, but gave birth to an evil spirit, just like there is no absolutely clear water in this world, nor is there absolutely pure whiteness. Only then did everyone see the ruthlessness in the young man's bones and the indifference in his eyes.There is something unpredictable at the end of those clear eyes, like a monster hiding under the calm lake, a forest monster hidden in the depths of the mist.
Recalling that they secretly laughed at his innocence before, only now did they realize that the most terrifying thing is this kind of innocence.You can like something for no reason, or you can turn your face and give up unreasonably in the next second, and you can't find any weaknesses or logic.
Jiang Zhanwei also didn't change his face, but no one knew the ups and downs in his heart.
When he was bullied and ridiculed, when he was surrounded and bitten by vicious dogs, he had countless dark thoughts, and he once wanted to use poison to kill all the vicious dogs that besieged him.But what's the point of using animals to vent your anger?The ones who really deserve to be damned are the ruthless royal family and the injustice of the world, even the incompetent self.
So he went step by step to today, those who bullied him were retaliated, and the old emperor was not spared, but he still had doubts in his heart, and he still couldn't let go.
And Xia Xi gave him the answer today, if you kill him, you will kill him, there is no need for meaning.
Jiang Zhanwei stared fixedly at Xia Xi. Under the sun, the smile on the young man's lips was beautiful and dazzling. Jiang Zhanwei felt as if he suddenly had the ability to empathize with him that was impossible to have. He just looked at him for no reason, and his heart was full of emotions. You will experience unprecedented ease and satisfaction.Those counterattacks of the past faded away layer by layer, the dark vines retracted one by one, the black shadows were dispelled, and even the disgust and rejection of dogs faded. From then on, when he recalled today, he would not think of the old bullying and madness The wolf dog, he remembers the deepest, only Xia Xi smiled at him.
He even thought it was so good that he didn't dare to look at it more, fearing that if he looked at it too much, he would never be able to let it go, and he just wanted to monopolize it.Jiang Zhanwei lowered his head slightly, and found that Xia Xi's shadow overlapped with his shadow because of the angle, so he couldn't help but move closer to the young man until his own shadow completely covered and wrapped Xia Xi's shadow, Only then inexplicably settled down.
Rabies is mainly transmitted through the virus in saliva, and contact with dog blood without a wound will be fine, so the guards quickly disposed of the corpse, and Jiang Zhanwei raised his head again, looking around.
He is a person who is used to killing and killing. He has a cold and hostile look in his eyes, and the enemy will be terrified when he sees him, let alone an ordinary person.Everyone at the scene felt that something was wrong. They wished that they hadn't been to Anjing Palace today, or could disappear immediately. Concubine Liu Gui was also shocked. She almost couldn't stand still because she couldn't bear the coldness in Jiang Zhanwei's eyes. Only after wearing a veil did he manage to maintain his composure on his face.
"It's probably because they lived too leisurely, and they all came to Anjing Palace." Jiang Zhanwei directly ordered his guards to drag the derelict dog prisoner down for torture. Since you are so free, just stay in the room and copy the scriptures, when you have some insight, when will you come out."
This is obviously the meaning of foot restraint, and there is no specific time for lifting the restriction, because whether or not to comprehend is entirely up to Jiang Zhanwei.The concubines at the scene were obviously Jiang Zhanwei's elders, but none of them dared to speak out. In the extremely dull atmosphere, only Jiang Zhanwei continued: "But Concubine Liu Gui is not in a good state of mind, it may be useful to go to a temple to practice. "
Concubine Liu Gui was stunned for two seconds, trembling with anger and panic, and then she opened her mouth to argue: "I didn't do it! I just donated the dog out of kindness. I don't know why it went crazy. Someone must have set me up!"
She really had nothing to do with the sudden madness of the wolfhound——although she wasn't smart, she wasn't so stupid. Someone else wanted to kill two birds with one stone.Jiang Zhanwei also knew this, but he didn't pay attention to Concubine Liu Gui's words, as if he was not a real person in front of him, but a disgusting and insignificant worthless thing.
Concubine Liu Gui's well-maintained face was distorted, and she threw away the maid who was supporting her and the guard who tried to 'invite' her back, "Let me go! No one can touch me until I find out!"
In the quiet environment, her shrill cry was particularly obvious, "Dignified King of War, doesn't he even make sense? Your Majesty hasn't convicted me yet, let alone I'm not wrong at all!"
Jiang Zhanwei raised his eyebrows when he heard the word 'reason', "It's interesting, you want to reason with me."
There is no joy or anger on his expression, but those who know him well know that he is angry, "Come to Anjing Palace to make trouble, and you still have to reason with me-then the king of Nan brought money to relieve the disaster, but the disaster money If he lost it, should the court and the disaster victims reason with him?"
The flood in the middle of the river has reached the south of the Yangtze River. It was originally Jiang Zhanwei's cronies who went to relieve the disaster, but Jiang Zhanwei left suddenly during the discussion yesterday.At this time, the disaster relief team has not yet set off, how does Jiang Zhanwei know that the disaster relief money will be lost?
Concubine Liu Gui showed a frightened and panicked expression as if she had seen a ghost, but Jiang Zhanwei had already walked into the hall of Anjing Palace when she finished speaking, forgetting all her panicked shouts.
Jiang Zhanwei was angry not because of Concubine Liu Gui, nor because of the black bear dog, nor because of the mastermind behind the scenes, but Xia Xi.Anger and panic filled his heart at the thought of the teenager being bitten by a raging dog only a short distance away.
Until Anjing Palace returned to its previous emptiness, Jiang Zhanwei's anger still persisted.Xia Xi could clearly see the tight lines on his face, and that stiff and angry expression seemed like someone had violated his valuables.
Xia Xi took the initiative to speak: "Are you angry?"
Jiang Zhanwei checked Xia Xi's wrist that was almost bitten by a wolf dog with a sullen face, and without speaking, Xia Xi continued: "I'm fine, don't be angry, okay?"
Seeing that Jiang Zhanwei still didn't speak, Xia Xi deliberately said: "If you are so stingy, I will ignore you."
Jiang Zhanwei was stimulated by the words 'ignore you', his brows were furrowed, and his grip on Xia Xi's wrist also subconsciously increased, "That wolfhound is obviously poisoned, once it is bitten, do you know it will hurt?" What are the consequences?" He paused, as if he was trying to control his emotions, but his tone still sounded scary, "In the future, you must take care of your own safety when you do anything, and don't be so impulsive again, remember? !"
Obviously Jiang Zhanwei's expression was serious and fierce, but Xia Xi couldn't help laughing.Xia Xi tilted his head and stared at Jiang Zhanwei for a while, then blinked suddenly, showing an aggrieved expression: "You are fierce to me."
Jiang Zhanwei was stunned for a moment, and this moment, he lost the best opportunity to establish his prestige, and the severe criticism and education could no longer be sustained.Xia Xi, on the other hand, was unreasonable and strong, and even his tone was full of grievances, "And the voice was so loud, it hurt my ears."
Jiang Zhanwei didn't know what to say at all, his eyes even showed obvious helplessness, and then Xia Xi pulled his hand out of his.
Just like this, he watched Xia Xi's hand relentlessly slipping away from him, the movement was very slow, but he didn't linger in the slightest.The feeling of panic came to my heart instantly at this moment, making Jiang Zhanwei's face even uglier than before.The atmosphere then cooled down, neither of them spoke, only the soft sound of wind outside the window could be heard.
In the end, it was Jiang Zhanwei who couldn't hold his breath first, and it has always been Jiang Zhanwei.
"I didn't mean to kill you, I..."
"It's okay," Xia Xi seemed to have been waiting for Jiang Zhanwei to speak, and the moment Jiang Zhanwei spoke, he raised his head and smiled at him, and even flung himself into his arms softly, "I forgive you."
Jiang Zhanwei was instantly overwhelmed by the color and soul, and the matter just now was forgotten.And Xia Xi not only anesthetized him with a sweet smile, but also anesthetized him with sweet words: "At that time, I only wanted to protect you, so I didn't care about so much. Don't worry, I'm very powerful, and I will protect you in the future." Always protect you."
Xia Xi's coaxing and love talk are definitely inborn skills. Jiang Zhanwei has only heard others say how powerful and ruthless he is, but it is the first time he has heard someone say that he should protect him, as if something melted in his chest, it was so soft and unbelievable.
Hmph, he's not a three-year-old kid, so he doesn't need someone to protect him.
Jiang Zhanwei raised his chin uncomfortably, wanting to look elsewhere so that he could look away from Xia Xi. His lowered eyelashes looked very cold, as if covered with a layer of frost, with a strong sense of oppression feel. ——If you ignore the movement of his chin and the red earlobes, this is definitely an extremely majestic expression, and his tone is also particularly blunt: "I don't need protection, and, let me go."
Xia Xi let go of his hand according to his words, making Jiang Zhanwei instantly feel indescribably disappointed.But in the next second, Xia Xi reached out to hug Jiang Zhanwei again, and leaned his head against his chest, "I let go, are you obedient? Should you reward me?"
Looking at Xia Xi, Jiang Zhanwei felt that somewhere in his heart was filled and he got endless satisfaction because of it, but at the same time he felt a rush of restlessness that made him restless. He had to work hard to suppress this contradictory emotion.Jiang Zhanwei put his arms around Xia Xi's shoulder unconsciously, "What reward do you want?"
"I want you to eat with me," Xia Xi said, rubbing his belly, "I'm hungry."
Jiang Zhanwei, who thought that Xia Xi would take the opportunity to ask for money and power, and made plans to agree to any request, was slightly taken aback.
In fact, he has already realized that Xia Xi was not sent by some political enemy or enemy. The other party seemed to appear out of nowhere, following him without asking or rewarding, just like a gift from heaven according to his imagination, lonely. The compensation given to him for so many years.
But for Jiang Zhanwei, this is more disturbing than having other plans.A person like him does not deserve to have any surprises and surprises, and this kind of surprise can appear without warning, so one day it will disappear in the same way.
Jiang Zhanwei subconsciously tightened his grip on Xia Xi, and Xia Xi rubbed against Jiang Zhanwei's arms, rubbing his forehead against the stubble that he hadn't had time to take care of, probably a little prickly, so he raised his hand to grab Jiang Zhanwei's stubble .
The palace people next to him sneaked a glimpse, and they were all shocked, but they didn't see any sign of Jiang Zhanwei's anger. They just raised their hands and grabbed the hand that dared to squeeze the 'tiger's beard', and said in a low-pitched tone, " OK, what do you want to eat?"
Xia Xi rubbed again, Jiang Zhanwei grabbed the back of his hand, looked at him with moist eyes and said, "I want Jiuniang Xiaoyuanxiao, and red bean cake."
Jiang Zhanwei's heart was numb from being rubbed, and he couldn't help but hug Xia Xi even tighter.He is so obedient, so kind, and so painful, lying on his heart can almost melt his heart.
Xia Xi is still sleeping at the moment.But he didn't sleep well - this room always reminded him of the past when he was trapped and Jiang Zhanwei's desperate expression, he even had a dream without thinking in a daze, and finally in Jiang Zhanwei's painful and desperate Woke up with a start in his eyes.
Then with his keen hearing, he heard the noisy voices outside, and said to the eunuch waiting in the corner: "Who is here?"
The eunuch looked unremarkable, but his demeanor was restrained and composed, and his breath was steady and vigorous. When he heard Xia Xi's voice, he immediately replied: "It's not someone important, just some people who came here to give gifts."
It is estimated that those who work under Jiang Zhanwei have also inherited his calmness in dealing with things, and only use the three words of "gift-giving" to summarize those pampered concubines, and continue to say to Xia Xi respectfully: "But it's disturbing your rest? The servant is going to clear people away."
"No need," Xia Xi couldn't sleep anyway, sat up, "I'll go out and have a look."
The originally noisy environment quieted down immediately after Xia Xi appeared, so quiet that only the sound of the wind blowing leaves could be heard.Those concubines didn't expect to see someone so easily, let alone a young man who looked far less than a weak crown, they were all stunned, and it was Xia Xi who pretended to be puzzled and asked first: "...Are you here?" ?”
For so many years, Jiang Zhanwei has neither been close to women nor accepted wives and concubines.

Men have always been generous only to those they like and care about. Just by looking at this piece of jade, one can see the status of the young man in Jiang Zhanwei's heart.It's unbelievable that someone like Jiang Zhanwei would be tempted by someone.
Thinking of this, An Bin's smile widened even further.In fact, she has no friendship with Jiang Zhanwei's biological mother, and Xia Xi nodded her head just now, "It turns out that, if Empress Concubine Xu knows about it, she will definitely miss you." The scorching sun said politely, "It's too hot outside, do you want to come in for a cup of tea?"
——Not only did they not have any doubts about An Bin's words, but they even invited them in. Everyone felt that the boy was as innocent and innocent as they thought.However, due to the prestige of the King of War, everyone still had to pretend to be respectful, and at the same time began to talk and test without any trace.

And Xia Xi gave him the answer today, if you kill him, you will kill him, there is no need for meaning.
Jiang Zhanwei stared fixedly at Xia Xi. Under the sun, the smile on the young man's lips was beautiful and dazzling. Jiang Zhanwei felt as if he suddenly had the ability to empathize with him that was impossible to have. He just looked at him for no reason, and his heart was full of emotions. You will experience unprecedented ease and satisfaction.Those counterattacks of the past faded away layer by layer, the dark vines retracted one by one, the black shadows were dispelled, and even the disgust and rejection of dogs faded. From then on, when he recalled today, he would not think of the old bullying and madness The wolf dog, he remembers the deepest, only Xia Xi smiled at him.
He even thought it was so good that he didn't dare to look at it more, fearing that if he looked at it too much, he would never be able to let it go, and he just wanted to monopolize it.Jiang Zhanwei lowered his head slightly, and found that Xia Xi's shadow overlapped with his shadow because of the angle, so he couldn't help but move closer to the young man until his own shadow completely covered and wrapped Xia Xi's shadow, Only then inexplicably settled down.
Rabies is mainly transmitted through the virus in saliva, and contact with dog blood without a wound will be fine, so the guards quickly disposed of the corpse, and Jiang Zhanwei raised his head again, looking around.
He is a person who is used to killing and killing. He has a cold and hostile look in his eyes, and the enemy will be terrified when he sees him, let alone an ordinary person.Everyone at the scene felt that something was wrong. They wished that they hadn't been to Anjing Palace today, or could disappear immediately. Concubine Liu Gui was also shocked. She almost couldn't stand still because she couldn't bear the coldness in Jiang Zhanwei's eyes. Only after wearing a veil did he manage to maintain his composure on his face.
"It's probably because they lived too leisurely, and they all came to Anjing Palace." Jiang Zhanwei directly ordered his guards to drag the derelict dog prisoner down for torture. Since you are so free, just stay in the room and copy the scriptures, when you have some insight, when will you come out."
This is obviously the meaning of foot restraint, and there is no specific time for lifting the restriction, because whether or not to comprehend is entirely up to Jiang Zhanwei.The concubines at the scene were obviously Jiang Zhanwei's elders, but none of them dared to speak out. In the extremely dull atmosphere, only Jiang Zhanwei continued: "But Concubine Liu Gui is not in a good state of mind, it may be useful to go to a temple to practice. "
Concubine Liu Gui was stunned for two seconds, trembling with anger and panic, and then she opened her mouth to argue: "I didn't do it! I just donated the dog out of kindness. I don't know why it went crazy. Someone must have set me up!"
She really had nothing to do with the sudden madness of the wolfhound——although she wasn't smart, she wasn't so stupid. Someone else wanted to kill two birds with one stone.Jiang Zhanwei also knew this, but he didn't pay attention to Concubine Liu Gui's words, as if he was not a real person in front of him, but a disgusting and insignificant worthless thing.
Concubine Liu Gui's well-maintained face was distorted, and she threw away the maid who was supporting her and the guard who tried to 'invite' her back, "Let me go! No one can touch me until I find out!"
In the quiet environment, her shrill cry was particularly obvious, "Dignified King of War, doesn't he even make sense? Your Majesty hasn't convicted me yet, let alone I'm not wrong at all!"
Jiang Zhanwei raised his eyebrows when he heard the word 'reason', "It's interesting, you want to reason with me."
There is no joy or anger on his expression, but those who know him well know that he is angry, "Come to Anjing Palace to make trouble, and you still have to reason with me-then the king of Nan brought money to relieve the disaster, but the disaster money If he lost it, should the court and the disaster victims reason with him?"
The flood in the middle of the river has reached the south of the Yangtze River. It was originally Jiang Zhanwei's cronies who went to relieve the disaster, but Jiang Zhanwei left suddenly during the discussion yesterday.At this time, the disaster relief team has not yet set off, how does Jiang Zhanwei know that the disaster relief money will be lost?
Concubine Liu Gui showed a frightened and panicked expression as if she had seen a ghost, but Jiang Zhanwei had already walked into the hall of Anjing Palace when she finished speaking, forgetting all her panicked shouts.
Jiang Zhanwei was angry not because of Concubine Liu Gui, nor because of the black bear dog, nor because of the mastermind behind the scenes, but Xia Xi.Anger and panic filled his heart at the thought of the teenager being bitten by a raging dog only a short distance away.
Until Anjing Palace returned to its previous emptiness, Jiang Zhanwei's anger still persisted.Xia Xi could clearly see the tight lines on his face, and that stiff and angry expression seemed like someone had violated his valuables.
Xia Xi took the initiative to speak: "Are you angry?"
Jiang Zhanwei checked Xia Xi's wrist that was almost bitten by a wolf dog with a sullen face, and without speaking, Xia Xi continued: "I'm fine, don't be angry, okay?"
Seeing that Jiang Zhanwei still didn't speak, Xia Xi deliberately said: "If you are so stingy, I will ignore you."
Jiang Zhanwei was stimulated by the words 'ignore you', his brows were furrowed, and his grip on Xia Xi's wrist also subconsciously increased, "That wolfhound is obviously poisoned, once it is bitten, do you know it will hurt?" What are the consequences?" He paused, as if he was trying to control his emotions, but his tone still sounded scary, "In the future, you must take care of your own safety when you do anything, and don't be so impulsive again, remember? !"
Obviously Jiang Zhanwei's expression was serious and fierce, but Xia Xi couldn't help laughing.Xia Xi tilted his head and stared at Jiang Zhanwei for a while, then blinked suddenly, showing an aggrieved expression: "You are fierce to me."
Jiang Zhanwei was stunned for a moment, and this moment, he lost the best opportunity to establish his prestige, and the severe criticism and education could no longer be sustained.Xia Xi, on the other hand, was unreasonable and strong, and even his tone was full of grievances, "And the voice was so loud, it hurt my ears."
Jiang Zhanwei didn't know what to say at all, his eyes even showed obvious helplessness, and then Xia Xi pulled his hand out of his.
Just like this, he watched Xia Xi's hand relentlessly slipping away from him, the movement was very slow, but he didn't linger in the slightest.The feeling of panic came to my heart instantly at this moment, making Jiang Zhanwei's face even uglier than before.The atmosphere then cooled down, neither of them spoke, only the soft sound of wind outside the window could be heard.
In the end, it was Jiang Zhanwei who couldn't hold his breath first, and it has always been Jiang Zhanwei.
"I didn't mean to kill you, I..."
"It's okay," Xia Xi seemed to have been waiting for Jiang Zhanwei to speak, and the moment Jiang Zhanwei spoke, he raised his head and smiled at him, and even flung himself into his arms softly, "I forgive you."
Jiang Zhanwei was instantly overwhelmed by the color and soul, and the matter just now was forgotten.And Xia Xi not only anesthetized him with a sweet smile, but also anesthetized him with sweet words: "At that time, I only wanted to protect you, so I didn't care about so much. Don't worry, I'm very powerful, and I will protect you in the future." Always protect you."
Xia Xi's coaxing and love talk are definitely inborn skills. Jiang Zhanwei has only heard others say how powerful and ruthless he is, but it is the first time he has heard someone say that he should protect him, as if something melted in his chest, it was so soft and unbelievable.
Hmph, he's not a three-year-old kid, so he doesn't need someone to protect him.
Jiang Zhanwei raised his chin uncomfortably, wanting to look elsewhere so that he could look away from Xia Xi. His lowered eyelashes looked very cold, as if covered with a layer of frost, with a strong sense of oppression feel. ——If you ignore the movement of his chin and the red earlobes, this is definitely an extremely majestic expression, and his tone is also particularly blunt: "I don't need protection, and, let me go."
Xia Xi let go of his hand according to his words, making Jiang Zhanwei instantly feel indescribably disappointed.But in the next second, Xia Xi reached out to hug Jiang Zhanwei again, and leaned his head against his chest, "I let go, are you obedient? Should you reward me?"
Looking at Xia Xi, Jiang Zhanwei felt that somewhere in his heart was filled and he got endless satisfaction because of it, but at the same time he felt a rush of restlessness that made him restless. He had to work hard to suppress this contradictory emotion.Jiang Zhanwei put his arms around Xia Xi's shoulder unconsciously, "What reward do you want?"
"I want you to eat with me," Xia Xi said, rubbing his belly, "I'm hungry."
Jiang Zhanwei, who thought that Xia Xi would take the opportunity to ask for money and power, and made plans to agree to any request, was slightly taken aback.
In fact, he has already realized that Xia Xi was not sent by some political enemy or enemy. The other party seemed to appear out of nowhere, following him without asking or rewarding, just like a gift from heaven according to his imagination, lonely. The compensation given to him for so many years.
But for Jiang Zhanwei, this is more disturbing than having other plans.A person like him does not deserve to have any surprises and surprises, and this kind of surprise can appear without warning, so one day it will disappear in the same way.
Jiang Zhanwei subconsciously tightened his grip on Xia Xi, and Xia Xi rubbed against Jiang Zhanwei's arms, rubbing his forehead against the stubble that he hadn't had time to take care of, probably a little prickly, so he raised his hand to grab Jiang Zhanwei's stubble .
The palace people next to him sneaked a glimpse, and they were all shocked, but they didn't see any sign of Jiang Zhanwei's anger. They just raised their hands and grabbed the hand that dared to squeeze the 'tiger's beard', and said in a low-pitched tone, " OK, what do you want to eat?"
Xia Xi rubbed again, Jiang Zhanwei grabbed the back of his hand, looked at him with moist eyes and said, "I want Jiuniang Xiaoyuanxiao, and red bean cake."
Jiang Zhanwei's heart was numb from being rubbed, and he couldn't help but hug Xia Xi even tighter.He is so obedient, so kind, and so painful, lying on his heart can almost melt his heart.
