"Isn't Guanxie just you?" Gao Jingxi opened the distance between the two, with a doting smile in his eyes.

"I..." Lian Liejin was at a loss for words, his eyebrows gathered even tighter, and he said it all at once, "Then what if Guan Xie is not me?"

Seeing Lian Liejin's twisted expression, Gao Jing teased, "Liejin, are you jealous of yourself?"

"Jealous? No, I just want to make things clear. After all, we may have to live a lifetime."

"Maybe?" Gao Jingxi put away her smile, "Do you think so?"

Lian Liejin buried her head and didn't notice Gao Jingxi's expression. When she thought about what happened last night, she became more and more angry, "Yes, there is no need to live a lifetime anyway."

Gao Jingxi couldn't restrain her gloomy mood, her voice also cooled down, and she deliberately said: "Kanxie is you, isn't it?"

"If not, I..."

"Whether it's true or not, what I'm looking for is a person, not Guanxie, not Lian Liejin." Gao Jingxi hesitated to speak, wanted to say something more, but suddenly felt that it would be useless to say more.

Lian Liejin heard it in his ears and took it into his heart, but he still wanted a more certain answer, "I don't understand what you mean."

Gao Jingxi had a complex look in her eyes, she raised her head slightly, revealing the curves of her neck and head, exuding an indescribably beautiful style, "When we get married, it's a lifetime, no matter what you think It’s not necessary, it’s still impossible.”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little heavy, and Lian Liejin felt a little hot in his heart, and finally looked up and found that the princess looked different.

Just then, there was another hasty knock on the door.

"Your Highness, there is an urgent report from the palace. It seems that His Majesty is about to interrogate He Cheng, Captain of the Sunshine Guard, again. Captain He's life is at stake."

Gao Jingxi woke up from her emotions, and looked at Lian Liejin deeply again, "Ah, prepare the car, Captain He is in trouble, I can't stay out of it."

"Your Highness, what happened?" Lian Liejin sensed Gao Jingxi's anxiety, and pulled her back.

Feeling the heat from Lian Liejin's palm, Gao Jingxi softened again, patted the back of the man's hand, and comforted him: "I have to deal with some things, you obediently wait for me at the son-in-law's mansion. Then He Cheng is rare It will be useless to the country and the people if the talented people who get it die under the wrath of the Queen Mother."

"Then you are in danger?"

"No, don't worry." Gao Jingxi picked up a black dress with gold thread embroidered with white cranes and put it on Lian Liejin, "You are not allowed to come to the palace with you, your star map is different, if you meet again He Xingguan, maybe she can really see something."

As soon as the words were finished, Gao Jingxi went out directly, got into the carriage, and left the Princess Mansion.

"My son-in-law, your highness the princess may not be back until very late today, you can go back to the son-in-law's mansion first, and I will call you over when your highness is free." People sent her back to the consort's mansion.

Just like that, Lian Liejin finished his lunch in a daze, hugged the little black cat, and was sent back to the lonely and deserted consort's mansion.Little Carrot has not returned yet, only a few servants and housekeepers are sweeping the courtyard,

Seeing her come back, they all saluted her respectfully.But at this moment, her mind was full of confusion. She overheard what Gao Jingxi and Ayou said before, what Gao Jingxi said last night and today, and all kinds of things filled her mind.

Worried, sullen, apprehensive, happy, all kinds of feelings are in my heart.This was the first time she was so convincing for a person.

In the palace, Gao Jingxi waited for a long time outside the palace before being summoned.

"I see the Queen Mother, I wish the Queen Mother a healthy body." Gao Jingxi bowed her head obediently with a respectful face, glanced at the person in the high seat, and then slowly knelt down, her every move was very orderly. "Why is Concubine Lian here too?"

"Ankang? I can't be healthy now." The emperor leaned on the pillow, put his hand on Concubine Lian's shoulder, and kept stroking it. "Tell me, what do you want to do if you insist on coming in?"

He Cheng, who was kneeling beside him, was covered in bruises all over his body. Gao Jingxi glanced and saw He Cheng's hands were bruised and swollen. Was this torture?

"My son, of course it's to plead guilty."

"Apologize?" The emperor sneered, and the light in his eyes became even more attractive, "Your news is well-informed. You jumped out before I dealt with you."

"My son knows that he is guilty, and he is anxious day and night. In the end, he does not want to involve others, and is willing to bear it with all his strength."

"You are kind and righteous," the emperor sneered, "If it comes to the assassin in the poetry conference, you, Gao Jingxi, will naturally bear the brunt of it. But this He Cheng, dared to do that wrong thing to my concubine Lian, it can be said It's audacious."

"Emperor Mother, Mrs. He has always been devoted to her duties. Although my son and minister have only met her a few times, they still admire her very much. There must be some misunderstandings."

The servant in blue hurried in from outside the palace again, and whispered a few times to the emperor, who immediately showed a strange smile, "Let her in."

This is Lian Liejin's first visit to Chengqian Palace, the smell of ambergris in the hall is extremely strong, and mixed with a faint smell of blood, dozens of dragon-headed palace lanterns in the hall are dazzlingly bright.

Before going in, Lian Liejin saw Gao Jingxi kneeling upright in the center of the hall, kneeling straight.

And Gao Jingxi also looked back with a feeling, when she saw Lian Liejin, she felt both joyful and helpless.This child is just disobedient.

"I see the Queen Mother, I wish the Queen Mother a healthy body." Lian Liejin strode forward, brushed off the hem of his clothes, and knelt down to salute.

When the emperor saw Lian Liejin, his serious face suddenly became kind, "Jin'er, you came just in time, are you injured this time? Xi'er didn't take good care of you and let you be captured by an assassin. I was thinking about how to punish her."

Lian Liejin straightened up and knelt beside Gao Jingxi, raised his head, and looked at the emperor's father-in-law on the dragon chair.The smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth is not pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.Especially in her long and narrow eagle eyes, there was a fierce light, like a vulture waiting to prey in the dark.

Regarding the emperor's disposition, she has always only stayed on the word "hearing".His Majesty came to the throne at a young age, worked with a group of ministers to assist the government, and made great efforts to govern the country, making the people of Lan Geng rich and strong.

After that, a large number of soldiers were recruited, and soldiers were recruited according to the attributes of the star map, which led to the direct formation of the star map contempt chain.

A large number of people with star charts in life, business, and agriculture have been excluded.

Fortunately, successive years of conquests have confiscated a large number of spoils, vast land and population, and delayed the negative impact of the decline of industry, agriculture and commerce.

However, in recent years, the national treasury has become more and more empty, and the national policy has only just focused on cultural governance and people's livelihood, and it is far from receiving any good results.

After thinking about it for a while, Lian Liejin guessed that the emperor must be very happy and value face very much.

What's more, Lian Liejin is the one who is responsible for the assassin, how can she let the Seventh Princess take the blame for herself.

Thinking of this level, Lian Liejin replied loudly, neither humble nor overbearing: "Thank you for your concern, my son... My son and the princess can return safely this time, thanks to the mother's Sun Yaowei, who is brave and courageous, called my son. The ministers and the people admired him very much.

"Really? I haven't practiced for a long time, and the muscles and bones of those guys have long been loose. However, the Sun Yaowei is naturally to blame for letting the assassin escape alive." The emperor waved his hand, making Lian Liejin stand up and stand aside.

Concubine Lian, who was in the emperor's arms, suddenly smiled and said to the emperor: "Oh, I was lucky enough to see the son-in-law once at the last banquet, and I thought the son-in-law was very handsome, but unfortunately the distance was too far, so I couldn't really see it. This time, Why do the concubines look around and feel that the son-in-law looks very much like a person."

After hearing Concubine Lian's words, the emperor observed Lian Liejin closely as expected, staring at her intently, from eyes, eyebrows, to nose and lips.

Until Concubine Lian in her arms teased and patted the emperor, "Look, Your Majesty also thinks that the eyes of concubines and concubines are very similar."

"Yeah, those eyes are exactly the same as hers." The emperor lowered his face and echoed, "Really, they are exactly the same. But it's no wonder..."

Seeing the emperor's expression, Gao Jingxi was very surprised, and inexplicably felt a bad feeling, and instinctively put his sleeve robe on Lian Liejin's hand, and held the man's hand.

"Xi'er, I remember you will be nineteen next year, right?"

"Back to mother, my son will indeed be nineteen next year." Gao Jingxi raised her head and replied, her phoenix eyes were extremely calm.

The emperor raised his eyelids slightly, and with just one glance, he felt furious in his heart. When her daughter was born, the sky was full of stars, showing a scene of flying dragons in the sky, and her star chart was also for dragons in the abyss.

That year, the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful, and the weather was good.The Lan Geng Kingdom, which has suffered from wars for a long time, has finally gradually recovered from years of drought and floods.

All the people in the world said that she, the emperor, gave birth to a good daughter, and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was truly a lucky star.

And the star-shooting supervisor even predicted that Gao Jingxi was a natural born emperor star, which is beyond words.

She originally loved Gao Jingxi very much, but...

If one day, this stubborn child can't wait anymore, what will happen?

But this child has always been law-abiding, sometimes arrogant and self-willed, sometimes dull and clumsy.

This time, even with Sun Yaowei, he still couldn't catch an assassin.Perhaps, she, the daughter of a born emperor star, is not to be feared.

"Xi'er, although the leader of the assassin escaped under your hands, her accomplice is still in prison. I pity you and your son-in-law. We were newlyweds and fell in love with each other. Then you will personally interrogate the accomplice of the assassin. , to force him to confess, I will forgive you the crime of ineffectiveness."

"Forcing him to confess?" Gao Jingxi said solemnly, "Your Majesty mean torture?"

"What? What objection do you have? I have decided to absolve you of the crime of incompetence, and just punish Sun Yaowei. Are you going to disobey me?" The anger in the emperor's heart came back again.

Gao Jingxi smiled lightly in his heart, with a gentle and firm expression on his face, "I think that under heavy punishment, it is too inhumane. Although those assassins deserve to die, the court is not a place to abuse lynchings. In addition, Sun Yaowei followed his son-in-law and tried his best to rescue the son-in-law. He should not be punished, but should be rewarded."

The candles in Chengqian Palace dimmed a lot, the emperor laughed back in anger, and almost forgot that his son-in-law Lian Liejin was still there, "Gao Jingxi, according to your sophistry, I should reward you well, It's all because you saved your husband, isn't it?"
