Chapter 175 The Meaning of Living
After running all the way back to Biyou Pavilion, Zixi went straight to the inner room and locked the door. Hearing footsteps, she quickly blew out the candles in the room.

She didn't know why she felt so panicked.

Before, in order to take care of Teng Xuanyi's feelings, Zixi told his sisters not to use spiritual power, but since then, he seems to no longer care about this matter, and even when encountering problems, he will naturally use this advantage .

It's not that there's anything wrong with doing this, but it's too different from the Teng Xuanyi I know and understand. He shouldn't be like this...

Seeing that the lights in the inner room were off, Xin Ruo just wanted to open the door to take a look, but was stopped by Teng Xuanyi: "Don't bother her, Xin Ruo, you go back first, what's the matter, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Looking at the tightly closed door, Xin Ruo nodded and said, "Okay, then you guys should hurry up and rest too!"

After finishing speaking, Xin Ruo glanced at the inner room again, walked out with a smile.

Zhu Lan walked to the stove, picked up the copper pot that was breathing white gas, poured a bowl of tea and put it aside, and said, "Have a cup of hot tea first to keep you warm."

Staring at the inner room and sighing, Teng Xuanyi understood what Zixi was thinking, but how should he explain it...

Walking to Zhulan's side, Teng Xuanyi picked up the tea cup and took a sip, saying, "Let's have a drink!"

Zhu Lan didn't speak, but glanced at the door of the inner room, turned around and took out two jars of wine from the cupboard and put them on the table.

This night, Biyou Pavilion was exceptionally quiet, the two men were drinking in the outer hall silently without any conversation, while in the inner room, Zixi lay on the bed tossing and turning for a long time before falling into a deep sleep...

The next day, Zixi woke up in a daze until the sun was high. She stretched herself, thinking: How long has it been since I slept so well?So cool!

After getting up, getting dressed, and brushing her hair casually, Zixi gently opened the door.

Zhu Lan and Teng Xuanyi were sleeping soundly lying on the table, unaware that the door they had been staring at for a long time was finally opened.

After tiptoeing to the back of the two, Zixi smirked, "Boom Boom" twice, and gave them a cordial greeting on the back of their heads.

The two sat up awkwardly, turned their heads, looked sleepily at the smiling face, and rubbed the back of their heads in unison.

Zixi said: "I said you two are really good at it. It's not like there is no other room in this yard to rest. Sleep here every day, aren't you tired?"

Rubbing his face, Teng Xuanyi said: "Sleep well here."

Rubbing her eyes, Zhu Lan said, "Sleep well here."

……

Unbiased, after each of them gave them a supercilious look, Zixi shook his head, and helplessly cleared away the empty wine jars beside him.

Teng Xuanyi stood up, straightened her waist and said:
"I'll get you some water to wash up."

Zhu Lan grabbed his sleeve and said:

"You have a shoulder injury, let me go!"

Putting down the wine jar in his hand, Zixi said:
"Okay! You two wake up and take a nap, I'll go! Why don't you just boil some hot water!"

Squeaking, the door was gently pushed open, Xin Ruo walked in carrying a bucket of steaming water, and said:

"You guys are awake."

Zhu Lan said: "Xin Ruo? When did you come?"

He took two empty copper basins, put them in front of Teng Xuanyi and Zhu Lan respectively, poured hot water on them and replied:
"It didn't take long. I heard that the room was very quiet. I thought you were all still asleep, so I went to the kitchen to boil the hot water first."

After finishing speaking, Xinruo picked up the bucket with her right hand and Zixi with her left: "Go in and wash, and then I'll comb your hair for you."

Holding Xinruo's arm with a smile, Zixi leaned on her shoulder and said coquettishly, "Xinruo, you are the best! If I were Miyuan, I would marry you quickly... Eh? Eh, ah..."

Xinruo blushed, and dragged Zixi to the inner room, the girl staggered and refused to shut up: "Why are you blushing? I'm telling the truth, you can't find it even with a lantern Good girl, hurry up..."

Boom!
The door of the inner room was closed again, followed by Zixi's exaggerated scream.

Teng Xuanyi and Zhu Lan suddenly woke up, you looked at me, I looked at you, the atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate.

yes!If such a good girl can be married, no one would want to marry her home immediately, but... the four words of taking it for oneself are really a luxury for Teng Xuanyi and Zhu Lan.

After dressing up, Zixi opened the door and said, "Let's go! Go and see that hapless bastard!"

Luo Yiyao prepared the antidote overnight. Fortunately, he recorded the order of the Gu worms' generation, otherwise, Zixi would feel guilty for a long time.

Teng Xuanyang took the antidote, and his health improved a lot, but his spirit was still not good.Last night, when he heard someone yelling "Get out of the water", the Gu poison was taking place, so he had no choice but to open the secret door and hide in the secret prison.He knew in his heart that it was definitely not a coincidence that something happened in his mansion at this time. He thought those people would come at him, but he didn't expect...

Luo Yiyao felt for his pulse, secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "The poison has been cured, but it will take some time to recuperate."

Teng Xuanyang remained silent, still looking extremely painful.

The door was gently pushed open, Zixi bit her lip and walked in, seeing Teng Xuanyang's appearance, felt a little sad, she turned her head and said to Xinruo: "Go and prepare some light food."

Xin Ruo nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

Teng Xuanyi and Zhu Lan entered the room one after the other, and closed the door gently.

Smiling towards Luo Yiyao, Zi Xi said: "You've worked hard, haven't you slept all night?"

Luo Yiyao pursed her lips: "Fortunately, I squinted for a while."

"Cut! Look at the bruises under your eyes, hey! Go back to sleep!"

This girl still cares about herself very much!Luo Yiyao smiled and said:

"Okay, then I'll go back first, he...worry too much, I'll go and make some calming medicine, and I'll take it for him later."

Zixi nodded: "Get a good night's sleep first, and then talk."

With a satisfied smile on his face, Luo Yiyao walked away briskly. Teng Xuanyi and Zhu Lan glanced at the closed door again, and said in unison in their hearts: I don't think he is sleepy at all!
Walking to Teng Xuanyang's side, Zixi sat down slowly, she kept thinking in her mind, what words of comfort should she say?

As soon as her buttocks were firmly seated, Teng Xuanyi gently pulled her up, pointed to the chair next to her, and said, "Sit there."

Then, he "occupied" the seat next to Teng Xuanyang.

Before Zixi could react, Zhulan stepped forward and pulled her to the position Teng Xuanyi pointed out just now, saying:

"sit."

Zixi looked at the two of them and thought: Does this mean that I am not allowed to speak?

Without any words of consolation, Teng Xuanyi looked at Teng Xuanyang expressionlessly, and said:
"Brother, get out!"

Eyelids slowly lifted, Teng Xuanyang stared at Teng Xuanyi with red eyes.

Teng Xuanyi continued: "Haven't you lost enough? You are not suitable for that position, so you can live if you stop thinking that you shouldn't have."

Teng Xuanyang, who had been silent since last night, finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Live? Tell me, what's the point of living?"

Teng Xuanyi was silent for a moment, and his tone softened slightly: "They are indeed innocent, but if you hadn't planned to hurt others first, how could it have caused today's catastrophe? You feel that you cannot accept and face the current situation. So do you want to escape with death? Who do you want to clean up after leaving such a mess? Who will clean up for you?"

Teng Xuanyang covered his face in pain, and was very emotional: "I don't know, I don't know!"

Teng Xuanyi shook his head: "You don't know? You don't need to know, but you can't act recklessly! Don't forget, you are the palace of Nandan! Even if you can't be king in the future, you will also shoulder the responsibility of protecting the country. The responsibility of the people! Why, the dignity and wealth that you should enjoy are not lost, but you turn a blind eye to the responsibilities that you should fulfill? If this is the case, let alone live, what face do you have to die? What face do you have to meet your ancestors! Live! , you can’t just seek your own happiness for the rest of your life, but also grit your teeth to bear the things that overwhelm you! Yes, you have the right to choose to die, to choose to escape, but you are defeated like this, big brother, are you willing?”

Putting down his hands slowly, Teng Xuanyang seemed to have calmed down, Nandan's main hall... Nandan...

"Well said!" Zixi stood up and clapped her hands in admiration.

Teng Xuanyi slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, patted Teng Xuanyang's shoulder, and said: "You are here to take good care of your body these few days. Remember, escaping can't solve any problems. It's not too late to look forward in everything."

Zixi echoed: "That's right! Don't forget about Ningfu! The grievances of your men's family must involve a woman as a backstop, what the hell!"

Hearing the word Ningfu, Teng Xuanyang frowned and asked, "Who is she?"

Zixi had already guessed that he would ask about this matter, after all, last night he had already seen that this was a game.

"Yu Ziguo." Zixi replied calmly.

"Is she the secret agent of Yu Ziguo?"

"Ah."

After a long silence, Teng Xuanyang nodded: "So it turns out that Yu Ziguo is looking for an opportunity to stir up disputes between Nandan and Yanyou and profit from it! Hmph!"

"That's right! How hateful! But Ningfu is mine now, hey! A girl's family, there are always times when she can't help herself, so don't worry about these, I will never hand her over to Heng Damn!"

Teng Xuanyang was very puzzled: "Your man? You want to protect a secret work of Yuzi Kingdom? Absurd!"

"I... I can protect whoever I want! A spy is also a human being! Don't you let her sneak into Heng Cang's side as a spy for you? Besides, it's you who tricked her first! Hmph!"

"I..." Teng Xuanyang knew he was wrong, and hesitated to speak.

Teng Xuanyi held back a smile, stood up and said, "Brother, I will try my best to help you solve this matter, but I guess my father has already become suspicious of you, and you will live in my mansion for a while because of your illness. , play by ear."

Teng Xuanyang clutched his clothes: Unexpectedly, when he was about to be cornered, it was Teng Xuanyi who helped him...

He twitched the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't say the word "thank you" after all: "Okay... I see."

Zixi opened the door with an expression of displeasure, and deliberately raised her voice: "I won't even say thank you! I should have known that Luo Yiyao would come back a few days later! Hmph!"

Teng Xuanyi smiled and said, "Brother, take a good rest, let's go first."

"……it is good."

When the door was closed and the footsteps faded away, Teng Xuanyang murmured, "Thank you..."
