"King Jue has been ill for a long time, and I'm afraid he will soon die.

Feng Chen understood most of it right away, his hands kept moving, but his brows frowned involuntarily, and complained: "Why did everything happen at the same time? It's too coincidental."

"It's not all a coincidence." Li Xiruo blinked at Huo Miao, as if he was thinking about his words: "King Jue has been suffering from a chronic illness, and his condition worsened in the early spring of last year, and now he is barely supported by medicine stones. I went to see him once , the gas is still there, but most of the time he is asleep, not to mention governing the affairs of the state, even recognizing people is a bit difficult, and now the affairs of the court are basically taken care of by the prince."

"Oh." Feng Chen nodded: "Then who wants to seize power with the prince now, the prime minister? Has he compiled the crimes of all officials? If not, you can tell him that we have ready-made ones and give them to him. Send a copy and change the name of the official to use it.”

Li Xiruo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he patted his leg hard, telling him not to make jokes, Feng Chen shook his knee twice in dissatisfaction, Li Xiruo held him down, and continued, "Do you know King Juelian of Jinshan?"

"I know, the ninth son of King Jue, the prince's younger brother."

"King Jue won't last long. The prince has recently started to consolidate his power and eliminate dissidents."

Feng Chen smiled comprehensibly, and jokingly said: "The little prince is afraid that he won't be able to play with his elder brother, so he came here to cry for his father?"

Li Xi Ruo laughed, and said: "Almost. In fact, the reason why the prince chose to act at this time is because he thinks that Li Guo is too busy to take care of himself and will not care about Jue's affairs, and I didn't intend to interfere too much with Jue's affairs at first. internal affairs......"

Feng Chen had a mocking smile on his face: "This prince is really clever but was mistaken by his cleverness. He thought he chose a good time, but he didn't expect this time to be the worst."

"Hmm..." Li Xiruo didn't have the slightest smile on his face, his deep eyes were covered with a thin light gold on one side by the flames, but there was still a deep trace of worry that couldn't be dispelled: "I At first, I didn't want to pay attention to these things, at most I just took Jinshan King to Liguo and settled him down. But now, I want to support him on the condition that..." Li Xiruo stopped, as if not quite Wanting to say the following, he pondered for a moment, then sighed softly: "The condition is that he helps me get rid of Lin Qingyan."

Feng Chen's eyebrows moved, as if he had finally heard something he was interested in.

Li Xiruo: "In two days, I will ask King Li to send an envoy to the Kingdom of Jue on the grounds of visiting King Jue, and Lin Qingyan will go there together. If he didn't take the opportunity to try to win over the prince or other princes and heirs, I would not Kill him, if he..." Li Xiruo stopped suddenly, and after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't continue the topic, but changed the subject and said lightly: "So there are no coincidences in this world. It happens for a reason."

Feng Chen didn't ask any more questions. After the two were silent for a while, Feng Chen raised Li Xi Ruo's hand and wrapped the braided slender grass rope around his wrist.

There are delicate patterns on the thin rope, and a circle of green grass is inlaid on the edge. It is rough and casual with some delicateness. Although it is woven from dry grass, it also has a unique beauty, which is very beautiful. .

Li Xiruo turned his wrist and said in surprise, "How did you make up this?"

"Yannuo taught me. Xiao'er weaved it to coax him to play when he was young. In fact, weaving it with straw would be stronger and look better, but now there is no straw, so we can only make do with weeds."

"That's right." Li Xiruo stared at the rope carefully, then hooked it with his fingers and pulled it lightly, as if he liked it very much.

Feng Chen couldn't help smiling: "You are easier to coax than Xiao'er."

Li Xiruo said with a smile: "Yes, otherwise, how could you have deceived Yanhan Mountain so easily back then."

Feng Chen sneered: "It's easy to say. It took a lot of effort to convince you at the beginning, and I was tossed hard when I persuaded your master. It's not an 'easy' thing."

Li Xiruo remembered that Feng Chen was injured all over his body, but he still ran to his and his master's residence every day. It was the rainy season in Xunguo at that time, and the continuous drizzle wet his clothes and wrapped him up. The cloth strips of the wound were soaked with dye.

In the end, Li Qi simply avoided seeing her, and Feng Chen stood motionless outside the door, letting the rain pour him into a drowned chicken.Li Xiruo stood by the door and looked at him. She couldn't bear to look at him for a while, she turned her head to look at Li Qi and wanted to plead, but seeing Li Qi turned a blind eye, knowing what she said was useless, she rushed in without saying a word. In the rain, standing with Feng Chen, Feng Chen smiled brightly, took off his clothes to cover Li Xiruo's head, then hugged him in his arms, covering him from the wind and rain with his body.

The two stood in the rain for a full two hours, Li Qi finally sighed softly, got up and opened the door, then turned around and went into the back room.

The two standing in the rain smiled at each other, Feng Chen blew a whistle, picked up Li Xi Ruo, and rushed into the house covered in rain.

After a while, Li Qi came out from the back room, holding cotton cloth, medicine and cloth strips in her hand, put down her things, and went back into the kitchen.

The two wiped off the rainwater on their bodies, Feng Chen sat down at the table, and Li Xiruo changed his dressing, the unhealed wound was swollen and white due to soaking in the rain for a long time, Li Xiruo took off the cloth, looked at those The white wound, the nose is sore, and I can't speak a word.

Looking back at the beginning, it was really not easy for Feng Chen, but Li Xiruo felt that what really moved his master was not these, but a sentence - when Li Qi returned to the main room with the medicine to dispel the cold, Feng Chen held Li Qi Xi Ruo's hand, said to Li Qi: "I can use my life to keep Ruo'er safe, let him come with me."

It is this sentence that makes Li Xiruo feel that Feng Chen is a person worthy of his life and death, and Li Qi, perhaps from this sentence, feels that Feng Chen really regards his apprentice as very important. In the end, I will definitely have the heart and enough ability to protect Li Xiruo, so I didn't say the phrase "If you really care about Ruo'er's safety, you shouldn't take him away", but sighed softly, and nodded silently. nod.

Thinking of this, Li Xiruo couldn't help being moved, took Feng Chen's hand, and intertwined his fingers.

Feng Chen squeezed his hand, and said: "In a few days, I may have to part with you for a while."

Li Xiruo's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at him.

Feng Chen also happened to be looking at him, and their eyes met.

Li Xiruo frowned and asked, "Why?"

Feng Chen gently pressed his brows with his knuckles, his eyes were full of infatuation: "I plan to let the army of Xunuo escort me to Beiling, and the rest of the army stay in Lonely City, you and Yan Nuo guard city."

Li Xiruo was still very puzzled: "Why separate the army? And even if we separate, I don't have to stay in the city, I can go with you."
