Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 320
Zhao Xi's eyes widened in confusion.

It took so much effort to reveal the truth, and the emperor didn't investigate in the end?

Li Xuanye was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "Father also saw it?"

"Yeah..." The emperor glanced at Zhao Xiwei again, and said meaningfully: "If this matter continues to be investigated, it will not only embarrass me, but also embarrass you."

Li Xuanye also looked at the person beside him, but did not speak.

The emperor smiled softly: "The front court and the rear palace are originally one. If you can turn a blind eye to some things, just let them go!"

Seeing that Li Xuanye didn't answer, the emperor sighed, and said earnestly: "I know your temperament, and I never like to be controlled by others. But sometimes, those who want to control you are the ones who really revolve around you." People... Although this kind of people are full of tricks, as long as you grasp their weaknesses, they will become your most suitable weapon."

Li Xuanye thought for a while: "Then today's matter..."

The emperor said lightly: "Let the imperial concubine bear it, anyway, the Pei family has upset me recently..."

Listening to the father and son's charade-like conversation, Zhao Xiwei had a thought that he had never dared to think about, and suddenly popped up like this.

Is it...

Her heartbeat suddenly stopped.

At this time, the emperor suddenly changed the subject: "That child Pei Zhenzhen, I think he looks pretty good, why do you—"

"Father!" Li Xuanye interrupted before he finished speaking.

He frowned, and said solemnly: "I don't want to!"

The emperor's gaze turned to Zhao Xiwei again.

Feeling the scrutiny and exploration in his eyes, Zhao Xiwei lowered his head even lower.

Li Xuanye's tone was very displeased: "Father, I don't want anyone to meddle in the private affairs of the inner court!"

Zhao Xiwei groaned secretly.

The emperor's attitude was clearly that Li Xuanye rejected Pei Zhenzhen because of her.

Wouldn't it make the emperor even more dissatisfied with his tough attitude?
However, she seemed to be wrong again.

"Understood!" The emperor laughed twice, and his tone was very indulgent, "When did I intervene in your private affairs? Who do you like and who don't, that's your freedom, I don't bother to ask!"

Li Xuanye was still a little dissatisfied: "Then Father still agrees with the Pei family?"

"Back then, the old man of the Pei family lost an eye in order to defend Liangzhou. Without him, I would not be in peace and stability now, so I always feel indebted." The emperor explained in a good-tempered manner, "Besides, that kid really You have a solid heart, and you grew up watching them grow up. I see that you both rode horses and shot arrows together when you were young. There is always a bond between you..."

Li Xuanye listened quietly at first, but then frowned again, and couldn't help but interrupted: "What's the father talking about? It's just riding a horse and shooting arrows, what does it have to do with being in love with each other!"

He added disapprovingly: "I'm not the kind of person who doesn't have my own opinions. If I have any thoughts about a woman, I can just ask Father for an order. Why do I need to cover up and wait until Father comes to worry about it?"

"It's my fault." The emperor laughed, "I forgot that you were the one who decided to marry the princess back then!"

"..."

Li Xuanye coughed, and suddenly fell silent.

Zhao Xiwei had always lowered his head, but now he felt a little strange, so he couldn't help but raise his head.

I saw His Royal Highness looking at him.

The four eyes meet, some are at a loss, some are deep.

But just looking at each other like this, the blank one blushed, and the deep one moved his eyes away.

Like a meteor falling and lightning in the sky, in an instant, Zhao Xiwei felt a "bang" in his heart, beating violently uncontrollably.

The emperor looked at this, then at that, and suddenly narrowed his eyes with a smile.

He has no pretensions of an emperor, just like an ordinary father, he said very lovingly: "Speaking of this matter, A Wei, do you know what he said when he asked me for an order?"

"Ah?" Being called suddenly, Zhao Xiwei couldn't react, "What?"

"Look at this kid!" The emperor smiled again, and said to Li Xuanye: "Just now he was eloquent, now he's stupid!"

Li Xuanye glanced at her again, deeply convinced: "Father is right."

What is this nonsense?

Zhao Xiwei is not happy about this!
He glanced at him quickly, then looked at the emperor, and asked obediently: "Your Majesty, what did His Highness the Crown Prince say at that time?"

The emperor held back his smile: "He said at the time..."

After only five words, His Highness the Crown Prince next to him coughed heavily again.

The emperor stopped the conversation at the right time.

Zhao Xiwei was still waiting for the next sentence, when His Royal Highness suddenly cupped his hands and bowed: "Father, I have some important matters that I have not dealt with, so I will go back first!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the emperor to speak, he directly took her hand: "If the princess wants to know, go back and tell you alone!"

Zhao Xiwei was dragged by him and strode out of the palace.

Along the way, the left and right palace people lowered their heads and avoided him. It was not the first time that Zhao Xiwei and him had made such an intimate act in public, but it was the first time that they held hands so openly in the palace with strict rules.

Instinctively, she withdrew her palms, but unexpectedly, he clasped them even harder.

Turning through one palace gate after another, Zhao Xiwei didn't dare to speak, so he could only bite the bullet and follow him forward.

It wasn't until he got out of Chengtian Gate that Zhao Xiwei protested in a low voice: "There is a censor in front patrolling!"

"Li Xuanye! I can go by myself!" faintly annoyed.

"Hey, did you hear that? The censor saw that he was going to impeach us again!" His fingers struggled again.

"..." Li Xuanye ignored her, and led her to the sedan chair.

Yuan Ce led a group of guards and immediately stepped forward: "Your Highness!"

"Get off!"

After dropping two words, he dragged her into the car, and suddenly let go of her palm.

"Li Xuanye..." Zhao Xiwei immediately withdrew his hand, muttered something, and was pressed against the wall of the carriage by him.

"..."

Zhao Xiwei looked at him nervously.

Just when she thought he would make a move, he sighed, withdrew his hands on her shoulders, and said something very unpleasant: "Go back and check what happened today."

Zhao Xi was taken aback for a moment: "Didn't Your Majesty say that it's all over?" It took only a moment to realize, "You want to deal with it privately?"

"Yes..." Li Xuanye sat upright, and said in a deep voice, "This matter is related to Nan Xing's life, how can it really be forgotten?"

Zhao Xiwei thought about it, so he nodded and said, "Then call Gu Hansu here, Your Highness! He must understand that colorless flower!"

Li Xuanye was silent for a moment.

"Zhao Xiwei..." He took her hand, overlapped their palms, put them on his knees, and asked slowly: "If... the truth is not what you deduced today, what would you do? response?"

Zhao Xiwei's eyelids twitched: "Your Highness thinks someone else poisoned you?"

"Hmm." Li Xuanye stared at her with complicated eyes.

really!

Thinking of the emperor's words, Zhao Xiwei felt his whole body stiffen, "Your Highness... are you doubting Concubine Shu?"
