Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 312
But in the final analysis, her surname is Wang, not Li.

No matter how powerful she is, she is also a relative.

The imperial power of the Li family only recognizes Li Xuanye.

Even if he holds the military power and holds the national treasury, but——

According to the prince's rebellious behavior, it is not impossible to hijack her with an order...

Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. Thinking of this, the queen mother smiled in an instant, and said sadly: "It's just a few court ladies. If the prince wants to arrest him, he can arrest them! He just arrested the people of Ai's family. If Princess Nanxing hasn't woken up What? What can the prince do?"

Before Li Xuanye could speak, the emperor who had been silent all this time coughed out anxiously.

The Empress Dowager's lazy voice sounded again: "Prince, you should have thought about it and arrested those who committed offenses in Aijia Palace. Nan Xing's illness is still not cured, so it's not true that the Crown Princess—Princess Xingke! "

When the last word fell, a sneer suddenly sounded outside the hall.

The laughter was very soft, not too forceful, but it sounded very ostentatious when it sounded after the Queen Mother had finished speaking.

Everyone thought it was some court lady who didn't understand the rules, so they turned their heads to look outside the palace.

The main hall has a high platform, and there are two lifelike white jade stone lions squatting on the left and right.

The door of the palace was wide open, the sky was shining like snow, and a woman appeared at the door.

The corners of the concubines' mouths twitched, their expressions changed from anger to disdain.

Is it amazing to have a prince backing you?This is in the Imperial Palace, not the Eastern Palace!

Concubine Pei was the first to hold back, and sternly reprimanded: "Princess Concubine, you have made the princess like this, and you can still laugh!"

"The imperial concubine's words are so unreasonable!" Zhao Xiwei refuted without hesitation, "Why did I harm the princess like this? The imperial doctor and the court lieutenant are still kneeling here, the imperial concubine, please be careful!"

The imperial concubine choked with anger: "I don't know what to do!"

Li Xuanye frowned, just as he was about to say something, Zhao Xiwei had already entered the hall.

She saluted the emperor without haste, and blessed the empress dowager politely, and finally stood by his side.

His gaze stayed on her face for a moment, and seeing her expression was full of confidence and calmness, without any fear or uneasiness, the trace of worry in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

His princess is really not a little sheep at the mercy of others!
Zhao Xiwei met his eyes, saw the flash of surprise, couldn't help pursing the corners of his lips, and smiled knowingly.

How else can you say that His Royal Highness is smart?

With just one expression, she can already understand the truth...

Li Xuanye smiled slightly.

She was standing beside him, her sleeves just falling on the arm of his chair.

With a light hook of his fingertips, he got into his sleeve and held her hand without leaving any trace.

Zhao Xiwei couldn't help but glanced at him again.

He was sitting on a chair, holding a teacup with his slender fingers, his face was calm, his eyes were fixed, no one could see that this man's other hand was hidden in her sleeve.

Sometimes Li Xuanye would deliberately do some tricks in front of people.

At first she thought it was a prank, or childish, but then she gradually discovered the clues.

Every time he did this, it was a time when she was exposed to external threats.

These small actions of his have nothing to do with those romantic thoughts, they are usually just an expression of support and protection.

He was telling himself that no matter what happened next, he would be by his side.

Just as Zhao Xiwei was thinking, his palm covered the back of her hand, and his thumb rubbed lightly along the inside of her wrist.

The movements are gentle and courteous.

One, two, three...

Even if he didn't say anything, he could feel his intentions.

Zhao Xiwei's heart skipped a beat, and when he rubbed it next time, he spread his fingers and clasped his palm.

Li Xuanye's fingers stopped suddenly, and he raised his eyes to look at her.

In fact, her action didn't mean anything else, it was just to respond to his concern...

But for some reason, when she met his eyes, she still blushed inexplicably, as if she was caught in the act of being a thief, she quickly turned her head away.

When she turned her head, that shy and pretty look fell into Concubine Pei's eyes.

Concubine Pei Gui is a very powerful and domineering person, but in the past she was not of a nature of doing evil, otherwise the emperor would not have entrusted her with the management of the harem.

It's just that it's different now.

Concubine Shu's child was ill, and Concubine Gui became the first object of suspicion.

She was so angry that even looking at the emperor was a bit unpleasant, let alone Zhao Xiwei like this?

In front of so many people, he flirts with the prince, is he showing off his coquettish methods!
Concubine Pei gritted her teeth with hatred, and couldn't help but reprimanded coldly: "Being spoiled makes you proud!"

She felt that her voice was already very low, but Zhao Xiwei could hear it clearly.

Within two days, people scolded everywhere he went. Zhao Xiwei's ears were already numb from hearing the word "beautiful".

The censor scolded, the maid scolded, and the concubine also scolded?

She countered all the scolding in front, and the imperial concubine had no special reason.

"Who does the imperial concubine scold for being arrogant?" Zhao Xi said with a smile, his voice was clear and crisp, and everyone in the hall looked over in shock.

"You..." Concubine Pei Gui has never been so embarrassing to step down from the stage, so why was she ever a fearful person?Then he smiled again coldly, and replied forcefully: "I will scold whoever is arrogant!"

"Oh?" Zhao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes swept over the concubines, "Then I don't know, who is the one who is arrogant?"

All the concubines are usually suppressed by Concubine Pei. Now seeing the concubine touch the ashes on the nose in front of a little girl, it is of course a good thing to hear and hear!
They all laughed happily.

This smile was tantamount to adding fuel to the flames, Concubine Pei's complexion immediately sank, and she said angrily: "In front of so many people, she is flirting with His Highness the Crown Prince, does the Crown Princess still have any virtue at all?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes instantly fell on Zhao Xiwei's sleeves like torches.

Zhao Xiwei was immediately amused, and simply raised his hand, but with a flick of his sleeve, the two intertwined palms fell under everyone's sight.

Everyone took a deep breath.

Only the corners of His Royal Highness's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at her indulgently.

Zhao Xi pursed his lips and smiled, and looked at Concubine Pei provocatively: "It's just holding hands, why is there no virtue?"

Concubine Pei was so angry that her face turned blue: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want with the support of the prince! The princess is mainly awake, and you cry sometimes!"

It’s okay not to mention this, but Zhao Xi’s smile became brighter when he mentioned this: "The imperial concubine and empress swear by it, do you know the truth? If so, let’s talk about it, what kind of poison is the princess? Who gave the medicine?"

The word "also" immediately caught the emperor's eyes shining, and when he was about to ask a question, his eyes flicked past Pei Guifei's, and he held back again.

As the first person to be suspected, Concubine Pei didn't have the time to think about anything else, she just opened her mouth and refuted: "Presumptuous! I don't know, do you know?"

Zhao Xiwei caught the emperor's expression in his eyes, and immediately lifted his skirt and knelt in front of the throne: "Your Majesty! The poisoning of the princess was planned by the imperial concubine!"
