It was getting late, Zhao Xueyang pulled Zhao Xi to sit down by the desk, and ordered people to watch tea.
"No need, I won't be able to sleep if I drink strong tea at night." Zhao Xi refused.
Zhao Xueyang glanced at him, turned his head and said, "Then make a cup of scented tea."
Zhao Xi smacked his mouth, the roast goose was really salty after eating at night, he touched the corner of his mouth subconsciously, worried that he didn't wipe his mouth clean.
The other party smiled, stretched out his hand to pick up the letter on the table, and said, "Just now there is news from the palace, saying that the queen mother wants to take Jin Wangfei into the palace to have a baby. This is an opportunity for us. What do you think?"
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old maidservant brought a cup of fragrant tea and put it in front of them, then went out with her head bowed.
They were all familiar people, Zhao Xi raised his head and smiled at her, then he left and reached for the cup.After opening the lid, a bitter floral fragrance hits the nostrils. "Before Princess Jin came out of the cabinet, the Empress Dowager kept her by her side all the time, and she loved her the most. This kind of decision seems to be reasonable. It seems that Li Tong asked us to take care of Princess Jin?"
Why did Li Tong have that entrustment? He has never been able to understand. The two of them should not look like they have anything to do with each other. Besides, he is in the north, and he pays attention to Anjing's movements three times and four times. It is thanks to Tiangou that he was able to go to Huaiyang last time. he.But such a character that was not described in the original book, seems not that simple.
Zhao Xi rubbed his head, took a sip of tea, and Zhao Xueyang looked at him with hesitation.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"It was Li Tong's news just now, saying that he wanted us to pay more attention to the movements of the Queen Mother and the Ji family."
"... His news is quite well-informed." Zhao Xi said.His heart skipped a beat. He knew the plot of the original book in advance. How did Li Tong know about it?
"Does he still want us to take care of Princess Jin?" He asked uncertainly.
Zhao Xueyang nodded and showed him the letter directly.
Zhao Xi took it over, carefully scanned the content above, the letter was not long, carefully traced the thoughts of the Queen Mother and the Ji family, and unexpectedly coincided with what was in the novel.Finally, by the way, protect the safety of Princess Jin.
The candles in the room swayed with a sound of 'Bi Bo', and Zhao Xi's eyes also swayed.
Outside there was only the chirping of insects in Xia Ye, and the cicadas were simply disturbing, adding to the excitement.
"Li Tong shouldn't know so much," Zhao Xi said slowly after a while, and handed the letter back. "I think he's a bit strange, why he always pays attention to Princess Minglan's affairs."
At this time, I don't know why there is always an inexplicable feeling, as if there is some message in front of him that sends out the signal of "you come to me", but he is always disturbed by something, and he can't understand the mystery.
"Minglan and the fourth princess are boudoir close friends, right?" he asked suddenly.
Zhao Xueyang blinked and shook his head slowly. "I know what you mean. My people have indeed obtained some news about Lu Yao, but none of them are of any practical use. They are mostly catching wind and shadows."
"But think about it, Lu Yao disappeared in the north, almost under the nose of the Zhenbei Army, and Li Tong was ordered to investigate the case of the princess. He is not in the officialdom, so he must have found a way to stay in the army When he was in the palace before, Li Tong taught the princes and princesses to ride and shoot, so he should be familiar with them, and he really has nothing to do with Princess Minglan, the only one he has in common with is the fourth princess."
"You think deeply," Zhao Xueyang only said, without showing any agreement with his point of view.The hand with sharp phalanges supported the chin, and the long eyelashes cast a shadow. "Lu Yao is in the north, but she didn't return to the North Li tribe when she contacted Li Tong, so what is the significance of her?"
"The matter makes sense. Concubine Qi must have had her own way to inquire about outside news over the years. It was she who passed the news from the palace to the fourth princess. She asked Li Tong to give you the information, but she didn't come out in person. In the north, everyone is looking for her, if she didn't go back to the Li people, she probably hid in the Zhenbei army!"
Zhao Xi exhaled, his eyes brightened.Consciously found the core point of the problem, all of these can be connected, and from this point of view, the fourth princess and concubine Qi are their allies.
They have the emperor's favor, but once the emperor dies, the love for so many years will become a thorn in the hearts of others, and neither Concubine Feng nor Concubine Hui will be able to tolerate them.They didn't have any objections when King Jin was here before. King Jin didn't have a mother and concubine, so they wouldn't live in a bad way.Now that King Jin has fallen, he has to leave a way out for himself.The Empress Dowager and the Ji family also thought the same way. Those two women in the palace were not good. No matter who came to power in the future, the aristocratic families behind them would inevitably follow suit. As the current An Jing
Even with the blessing of the Empress Dowager, the Ji Mansion of the First Family would never be able to survive alone.
Zhao Xi discussed this with Zhao Xueyang, and felt that Li Tong might know a lot more than them in the north.
"Concubine Qi is still able to send out news," Zhao Xueyang said with dark eyes, "my people can't find out. There are so many evils left in the Great Zhou Palace for so many years."
Zhao Xi knew that this was a disaster, but how should I put it, it was something that everyone knew.only
It's just the first time it's on the surface.Otherwise, why would Huaiyang have planted eyeliners in the palace like inquiring about his own family? This palace is really solid on the surface, but it is actually riddled with holes.
"We must protect Princess Jin well now. She is the bargaining chip between us and the fourth princess, and her child is also the only heir left by King Jin." Zhao Xi said.
Zhao Xueyang nodded. "I know, but I'm wondering if it's necessary."
He told him everything that King Rong had said to him before, and Zhao Xi was dumbfounded after hearing it.This is what the male lead said?
How can it be so unambitious for the domineering prince who is romantic and romantic Mary Su to fall in love with my hero, but according to their principle of love first, it seems that it is not impossible at all.
Zhao Xueyang looked at the unpredictable expression on Zhao Xi's face, he was very conflicted, and did nothing else, just looked at him with interest.
Zhao Xi undoubtedly had him, thinking about the authenticity of this matter.After all, after struggling for so long, the male lead and the female lead are most worried. If they really delegate power, things will be much easier.
He must have been a liar, a scheme to confuse them.There was a voice in my heart saying that all the time.But it's not incomprehensible that the male protagonist of romance novels focuses on love, but I don't know whether it is the protagonist of Qiong Yao style or Long Aotian style.
If the former is better, but for the latter, even if he voluntarily gives up, there will be some opportunity to force him to take up power.Hey, relying on others is worse than relying on yourself!
"Let's not trust him too much," he made up his mind. "As far as I know, he is not a good person. He has been pretending to be a pig and a tiger for so long, and he has a deep mind. His cousin is on duty in the inspector guard. He is a bitch. A mad dog who won't be let go, everyone is an enemy at this time, and this person can't be trusted."
"En." Zhao Xueyang nodded.
Only then did Zhao Xi realize that he had been sitting still and looking at him, and he felt a little awkward, "What, what are you doing?"
His eyes were dark, but he asked back: "You haven't been in contact with him, why do you speak like you know him well?"
Zhao Xi was taken aback, "It's...a slip of the tongue, I didn't pay attention either. Of course I'm not familiar with him, hehe."
Seeing that Zhao Xueyang was noncommittal, there was no expression on his face.He quickly took a sip of tea, hiding his annoyed expression.
Little did they know that Zhao Xueyang, who knew his nature well, knew his expression just by the arc of his eyebrows, and his eyes deepened.
"Let's not talk about that, what you have been doing these days is hard work, and you haven't suffered such tiredness in the palace all these years." Zhao Xueyang said, looking at him who had only seen him for two days, but seemed to be reunited after a long absence. .
"It's okay, Huimenglou is quite lively." Zhao Xi said indifferently.
"Ok?"
"The girl inside has a delicate voice, and she speaks softly. It's just so fun." As if he didn't notice anything, Zhao Xi continued to publish the work summary without any hindrance. "It's just that I'm often in the back kitchen, and I don't have a chance to go to the front hall, haha——"
Looking at the expression, Zhao Xueyang completely forgot the previous doubts. He looked at Zhao Xi with a smile. That gentle face looked really beautiful, but the eyes were not smiling, and the curvature of the mouth was a bit stiff.
"I heard that cooking is mostly physical work, and you are very strong. Let me see if your body has really improved—"
"ah!"
Doubts disappeared indistinctly, Zhao Xi
The lower back was really sore the next day.Zhao Xueyang insisted that he must be in good health after exercising for two days, and he tossed and tossed for a long time.It was already very late, and when he fell asleep in a daze, he could faintly hear the sound of a cock crowing on the street.
When I woke up again, there was no one next to the bed, the doors and windows were closed tightly, and the bed curtains tightly blocked the not-so-bright light, and I didn't know what time it was.
He blinked, feeling as if his body had been hollowed out.Getting up slowly, he got out of bed and put on his shoes, slow like an old man.
He didn't know what time it was, his face turned pale, and he sat on the edge of the bed in embarrassment, not knowing how to get out of the room.
After struggling for a long time, I finally didn't go out at all, and lay down where I was.Looking up at the top of the window in a daze, it didn't take long to hear footsteps coming from outside.
The door was pushed open with a "squeak" and someone came in.
"Brother! Are you still awake?"
As soon as Zhao Xi got excited, he immediately turned his head, and A Tian was popping his head out from behind the screen to look inside.
"Ah Tian! When did you arrive?"
Ah Tian saw Zhao Xi's face through the bed curtain, and ran over when he saw that he woke up. , the door behind him was not closed, the sunlight came in, and the dust particles under the light were floating muddy.
"I came here with the prince and the others. I arrived last night, but they are all far away from the city. Brother Shizi sent someone to pick me up." Ah Tian dared not stretch out his hand to lift the curtain, and knelt beside the bed and said. "There are a lot of people here."
"What?" Zhao Xi struggled to sit up again and opened the curtain, the child with lowered head was looking up at him.
"Well, the lord has brought a lot of people here, and it's far away." The child's wheat-colored face had a strange blush, and his eyes were a little dodgy. "—Brother Shizi told you not to go to bed too late, and go to bed after eating."
Zhao Xi gritted his teeth, knowing that Huaiyang was ready.Dawan also said that those in the palace were in a hurry, but Huaiyang was even more anxious.
He was a little worried. Although Huaiyang is currently the most stable party, there is no need to send troops northward. It is really a bit aggressive.
"Do you know how many people there are?" He reconfirmed to Ah Tian worriedly.
Zhao Xi's hair was loose, the straps of his obscene clothes were all off, and there were suspicious red spots on his half-naked shoulders and chest.He didn't notice this, but almost blinded Ah Tian's eyes.
"I don't know, you can ask Brother Shizi." He turned his face away.
Zhao Xi looked at his glowing red ears, wondering if it's so hot outside, it's quite cool in the room.
Thinking of him grabbing his clothes, he realized that the clothes were not put on properly, so he quickly pulled them back up.
"Ahem——bring me some food, I, I'm a little hungry."
"Okay!" Ah Tian hurriedly ran away again.
"No need, I won't be able to sleep if I drink strong tea at night." Zhao Xi refused.
Zhao Xueyang glanced at him, turned his head and said, "Then make a cup of scented tea."
Zhao Xi smacked his mouth, the roast goose was really salty after eating at night, he touched the corner of his mouth subconsciously, worried that he didn't wipe his mouth clean.
The other party smiled, stretched out his hand to pick up the letter on the table, and said, "Just now there is news from the palace, saying that the queen mother wants to take Jin Wangfei into the palace to have a baby. This is an opportunity for us. What do you think?"
