homecoming

"Tang...Fei?" Feng Chenying's voice trembled slightly, and she took two steps forward, with only darkness in her empty eyes.

"I'm back." With the familiar voice and familiar breath, Feng Chenying could feel that Tang Fei was right in front of her, only two steps away from her.

"You, it's not..." Feng Chenying's face was full of disbelief, and the corners of her mouth curled up in surprise.

"Yeah, I'll go in and ask that magic stick to get back my 1000 taels." Tang Fei touched the 1000 taels of silver note in his bosom, and said with a light smile, looking at Feng Chenying with distressed eyes.

"You mean, you're not leaving?!" Feng Chenying took a step forward based on her own feeling, approaching Tang Fei.

"I'll wait for your eyes to heal before leaving." Tang Fei said softly.

"But, Gu Yang said that my eyes would never heal for the rest of my life—" Feng Chenying paused after saying this, and looked at the direction Tang Fei was standing with empty eyes, with shock and surprise on his face.

"Yeah, so, I won't be able to leave for the rest of my life." There was no regret or regret in Tang Fei's tone, but a sense of relief.

"You, don't feel that you owe me because you feel sorry for me..." Feng Chenying still couldn't believe it, and said in a difficult tone.But before the conversation was over, Tang Fei interrupted him.

Tang Fei took a step forward, bringing Feng Chenying closer to him, and said softly: "Feng Chenying, I never knew what love is. I used to think that I loved Chen Chen, so all I could think of was to get out of here and go back to find Chen Chen." Him. But, slowly, I realized that my feelings for Chen Chen are not called love, but pure dependence and guilt." Tang Fei paused, and stroked Feng Chenying's cheek with one hand, his eyes were full of nostalgia and confused, "I still don't know what love is, but I am willing to stay for you, willingly, not for gratitude or because of guilt. Rather, I want to know if I love you. Stay Come down and find the answer I want..."

Feng Chenying didn't wait for Tang Fei to finish, and suddenly hugged him into her arms, hugging him tightly.

"Tang Fei, Tang Fei, my Tang Fei..." Feng Chenying's voice was very low and deep, and the word "Tang Fei" lingered in his tender tone, penetrating Tang Fei's heart bit by bit.

The carriage that came when it came gradually left along the previous track, and the two people in the carriage cuddled tightly together, and the warm spring lingered in their hearts.

Standing in front of the window on the third floor, Mu Zhuo and Tianxing watched the carriage drift away, with mixed emotions in their hearts.Tian Xing's heart ached because the 1000 taels he got flew away, and at the same time he scolded Feng Chenying, that big liar.Mu Zhuo didn't know whether it was right or wrong because he was helping the evildoers.

Mu Zhuo once said that Tang Fei's life was bumpy and he suffered countless disasters, but this is not alarmist talk.Tang Fei's fate is strange. He said that he is not from here but from the future.But the person who exchanged souls with him died, that is to say, Tang Fei's fate was cut in two. The first half is okay, after all, Tang Fei has already passed.But the second half is hard to say, he can't figure it out at all.He could only observe the strange star. Tang Fei's star was unstable, not to mention dim, and in danger of going out at any time.This shows that Tang Fei has a catastrophe in his life, and there is more than one catastrophe. What's worse is that all catastrophes are fatal!Alas, I just hope that Feng Chenying can treat Tang Fei well, and don't be like that person 20 years ago. Even if he got a glimpse of the secret, she still lost her most important person.

In short, the two senior brothers sighed very melancholy, and then turned away.But one wants to go to the gambling shop to try his luck and earn back the 1000 taels that flew away, and the other wants to recite the Tao Te Ching in front of the patriarch to repent.

Mu Zhuo obviously sensed Tianxing's thoughts, grabbed Tianxing by the collar and dragged him to the confession room, and said coldly: "You also repent to me! Next time you make trouble like this, I will directly punish you Take it off and throw it on Feng Chenying's bed!"

"Wow~" Tianxing screamed while struggling, "It's useless if you take me off! Feng Chenying looks down on everyone except Tang Fei!"

With a crisp sound of "Boom", the world finally became quiet.Mu Zhuo withdrew her hand, and dragged Tian Xing, who was covering her head and pouting, into the repentance room.It seems that there is no month that I can't get out of the customs.

When He Xi returned to the Prince's Mansion, it was almost Zi'hour.The concierge who opened the door for him was stunned by the smell of alcohol on his body and his downcast appearance, and asked with concern: "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

He Xi was startled, smiled at the porter, and said drunkenly: "It's okay, I went out and had two drinks with my friends, and I'm a little drunk. I want to go back to my room." After finishing speaking, he walked away with flamboyant steps.The concierge watched He Xi leave suspiciously, then shook his head and locked the door.

He Xi staggered back to his small courtyard, and the servant who was serving He Xi hurried over when he saw him, and said anxiously: "My lord! Why did you come back?! Your Highness has been looking for you all day God!"

"Huh? Your Highness is looking for me?" He Xi reached out and tapped her confused head, shook her head to try to wake herself up, and said, "Did Your Highness say anything?"

"My lord, why have you been drinking?" Seeing that He Xi was not in a good condition, the waiter quickly supported him and said, "Your Highness didn't say anything, only that no matter how late it is, as soon as you come back, I will let you go." See him in the study."

He Xi was taken aback for a moment, and finally regained consciousness.Standing in place for a while, He Xi smiled wryly and said, "Well, I'll go now."

The little waiter wanted to help He Xi, but He Xi shook his head and refused, saying, "It's okay, you go and rest." The little waiter looked at He Xi in embarrassment, and finally nodded and left.

He Xi turned around and walked towards the study.What should come is still coming. During the assassination incident, the crown prince didn't explain anything to He Xi, and he didn't even tell him that he still had that plan.And their relationship with the emperor of Langxuan Kingdom, he didn't notice it at all.Apart from Qin Yi himself, only Chunyu Jue knew about all this.On the morning of that trial, He Xi finally knew that she was already being judged by Qin Yi when Qin Yi was imprisoned in the cold palace.Qin Yi has already begun to doubt his identity, all this is too coincidental.There are only ten tokens in the Prince's Mansion, one is in Qin Yi's own hands, one is in He Xi's hands, and the rest are in the hands of Chunyu Jue and his guards.Chunyu Jue's dark guards were the people he brought with him when he came to Huangye. They were not from Qin Yi, nor did they obey Qin Yi's orders. They were only loyal to Chunyu Jue.At that time Chunyu Jue was only ten years old when he came to Langxuan, and at that time his name was not Chunyu Jue, but Yu Jue.He was accompanied by seven guards with extremely high martial arts skills. At that time, he was living in a famous family of Huang Ye.Later, through the recommendation of the patriarch of the aristocratic family, coupled with his own strength, he moved into the Prince's Mansion at a young age and became the Prince's right-hand man.No one knew Chunyu Jue's details, until he became Huang Ye's youngest general and Huang Ye's most popular figure for a while, then he changed his name to Chun Yu Jue.Unfortunately, no one can really understand who he is.Except for Qin Yi.It turns out that Chunyu Jue is the younger brother of Empress Langxuan, while Qin Yi and Emperor Langxuan are cousins.He Xi only learned about all this after the fact.Only then did he know that he had been by Qin Yi's side for nearly ten years, but he still hadn't gained his complete trust.Those fake tokens can almost resemble the real ones, and it is impossible to be so realistic without the real ones as templates.It is impossible for Qin Yi to harm himself, and it is even more impossible for the loyalty of Chunyu Jue and his guards to be doubted.And He Xi became the biggest suspect.That's why Qin Yi didn't tell himself anything during the seven days in the cold palace, and didn't even let himself investigate this matter secretly!

Your Highness, I really don't believe him...

While thinking about it, He Xi realized that she had already reached the door of the study.

Knocking on the door lightly, He Xi opened the door and walked in after hearing the sound of "come in".

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?" He Xi asked with a faint smile.

Smelling the pungent smell of alcohol, Qin Yi frowned unconsciously, and said, "Well, I have something to discuss with you." After speaking, Qin Yi looked a little helpless, and said, "But it seems that your condition today It's not very good, why don't we talk about it tomorrow, you go back and rest first."

He Xi shook her head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I just blew on the wind on the way here, and my mind cleared up a lot, and I also sobered up from the wine."

Qin Yi sighed helplessly, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit."

"Thank you, Your Highness." He Xi calmly sat on the chair on the right.

"You must be clear about what happened in the hall that day, right?"

He Xi was startled, not knowing why Qin Yi asked such a question, and said slowly, "I know."

"I haven't told you about the relationship between this king and Langxuan, and I haven't even told you all the plans. It's not that I don't trust you, but that the more people know about this matter, the less safe it is. That's why I kept it from you." You. This king hopes that you will not hold grudges because of this."

He Xi looked at Qin Yi with a face full of astonishment, His Highness is here, explain?That's right, He Xi was really uncomfortable when he found out about this.However, when he thought that he was...he felt that he had no right to be hurt by Qin Yi's suspicion.Qin Yi is the right one.

"Your Highness, I understand. This is a big matter, and there can be no mistakes. Xiao Jue has military power in his hands, and I am just a civil servant. There are some things that I can't do." He Xi said lightly, The guilt in his heart was getting heavier and heavier. Of course, he would not really believe Qin Yi's explanation, but he had always failed Qin Yi's trust.

"It's good if you can think so. I'm afraid that you will feel unhappy because of this matter. It seems that I'm overthinking." Qin Yi smiled with relief, and then changed the subject, saying: "By the way, what do you think about this king being framed?" Qin Yi also sat down, looked straight at He Xi and asked.

He Xi was taken aback for a moment, he thought Qin Yi just wanted to explain.Keeping an eye out, He Xi looked at Qin Yi cautiously, and said carefully: "I think it may be a good show jointly performed by King Xian and King Fu. It is intended to make His Royal Highness lose the position of Prince, and even cause death .”

"Oh?" Qin Yi raised his ending, but He Xi couldn't guess what he was thinking.

"What about Fengqi Pavilion? Do you think Feng Chenying's assassination has something to do with Qin Yan?"

"This..." He Xi hesitated, "I don't know."

"I remember that this matter was entrusted to you to investigate at the beginning. After so long, you haven't found anything?" Qin Yi glanced at He Xi lightly, "And those tokens, where did they come from? Come here? It’s actually possible to confuse the fake with the real.”

He Xi was startled, got up from the chair and knelt down in front of Qin Yi, and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness! I just started to investigate, but something happened to His Highness, and his movement was restricted later, so no one has been found so far. matter."

"Ah, that's right." Qin Yi propped his chin with one hand and looked at He Xi coldly, his voice was indifferent, "I even forgot about this matter. So, I don't blame you for this matter."

"Your Highness, if you need, I can start to investigate now."

"Forget it, anyway, it's been so long, and there's no need to know the truth. The battle between this king and Qin Yan is inevitable. In the future, it's better for you and Tang Fei to avoid it."

He Xi smiled bitterly, and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, Tang Fei has already left..."

"What?" Qin Yi was also obviously taken aback, and said, "Tang Fei left? When did it happen?"

"Probably today, the proprietress of Fanghua Building handed me the letter he wrote to me." He Xi's brows were full of desolation, "It's okay to leave, this place is not suitable for him."

Doubts flashed through Qin Yi's heart, and he said calmly on the surface: "Yes, it's good to leave, you don't have any worries, and this king doesn't have to worry about how to deal with Tang Fei because of your relationship."

He Xi bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Thank you? After all, Tang Fei is just an outsider. This king will not really take a knife on someone who doesn't even know martial arts." Qin Yi raised his eyebrows and said.

"Okay, you are tired today, go down and rest."

"Yes, I'm leaving." He Xi stood up, and just about to turn around, Qin Yi said seemingly unintentionally: "By the way, your token is still with me."

He Xi trembled, clenched his fists subconsciously, but still said calmly: "Ah, I forgot." Before Qin Yi was imprisoned in the cold palace, the emperor took away the token from him, and later the truth came out. It was returned to Qin Yi.

"Hold it." Qin Yi got up and handed the token to He Xi, who took it with his head down.

"Keep it well, and don't lose it. If someone picks it up, there will be another bloodbath." Qin Yi patted He Xi on the shoulder and said.

He Xi was startled, not sure if Qin Yi meant something, so he could only force himself to calm down and say: "Yes, I will take good care of it."

"Go on." Qin Yi smiled lightly.

"Minister, leave." He Xi put away the token, bowed to Qin Yi, turned and left.After leaving the study, He Xi realized that she was covered in cold sweat.

Seeing He Xi's figure disappear completely, Qin Yi asked in a deep voice, "Do you think He Xi is still worth using?"

"It's hard to say now," Chunyu Jue walked out of the inner room of the study, his handsome face tensed, "At least he doesn't know that Tang Fei hasn't left." If He Xi is really Fengqi Pavilion or Xianwang Mansion No one would not know that Tang Fei hadn't left. "Also, according to the investigation news, although He Xiren was not in the Prince's Mansion or in the Fanghua Building the whole day Feng Chenying was assassinated, the spies we sent to follow him said that he stayed in the whole day. Xiaoxiang Residence never came down at all, and he didn't come out until noon the next day. He didn't know about Feng Chenying's assassination until he returned to the Prince's Mansion."

"That's why I find it strange. The thing about me being framed seems to be a traitor, and He Xi is the most suspected. But if he is really a traitor, why doesn't he even know about his own affairs?" Qin Yi said rather He curled his lips in distress.Feng Chenying was assassinated, and it was said that he was still blind. He said that someone wanted to kill him.But Qin Yi knew the truth, those assassins were targeting Tang Fei.The mysterious letter told him the whole story, so when he heard that Qin Yan and Qin Zhao were also assassinated, he was not surprised at all, and arranged everything well, and those who did not make any resistance were placed under house arrest for seven days.It was clear that Qin Yan and Qin Zhao were trying to frame him with bitter tactics, and they only decided to do so after Feng Chenying was injured.From this it can be seen that the two fake tokens that appeared later came from Qin Yan.So, what about the first fake token that appeared in Fengxi Pavilion?And who let it go?And who gave the other party a template to make such a realistic fake?

"Perhaps we are really overthinking. He Xi is not a traitor. He entered the Prince's Mansion earlier than me, and he has been with you ten years ago, but Feng Chenying and Fengxi Pavilion rose six years ago. No matter how you look at it, the two don't seem to be related." Chunyu Jue crossed his arms, with a rare expression of anxiety on his face.

Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment, yes, when He Xi came to him, he was still a 16-year-old boy in Tsing Yi. At that time, he was standing in front of his prince's mansion with a letter of recommendation, and said to him: "His Royal Highness, I He will be your best advisor." In his eyes he still has the unique youthfulness and self-confidence of a 16-year-old boy, but the smile on his face is so calm.Perhaps it was the arrogant and confident He Xi who moved me. He didn't ask him where his teacher was from, and he didn't investigate his background and details. He just let He Xi enter the prince's mansion and became his first adviser.He Xi is not only a retainer to him, but also a friend he has been close to for many years.

Since when did he stop trusting He Xi with all his heart, and began to test, doubt, and even send someone to follow him to monitor his every move?

"Do you think I am becoming less and less like the old me?" Qin Yi suddenly asked Chunyu Jue.

Chunyu Jue was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the blankness on Qin Yi's face, he suddenly understood something.She went up to hold his hand and said, "Don't think too much. Born in the emperor's family, the higher the position, the less you can trust anyone. Sometimes even your own wife and daughter can't trust you wholeheartedly. Because You know, if you take one wrong step, you will not only lose the throne, but also the world.” When his country was destroyed, he lost his parents and elder brother because of his uncle’s collusion with the enemy and treason.Even blood relatives are like this, let alone others?Qin Yi was burdened with too much helplessness, he had to change.He cared too much about the love between father and son, brotherhood, and he was the one who died.

Qin Yi's eyes darkened, and he said in a hoarse voice: "No, no matter what, I will never doubt you." Qin Yi held Chunyu Jue's hand with his backhand, "Only you, I will never doubt."

Chunyu Jue's eyes flashed, and he turned his head unnaturally, but he didn't break free from Qin Yi's hand.
