Dai Ziling

Chapter 207
The cold wind was bitter, like sharp knives scraping against his cheeks, and the heavy cloak was rolled up by the wind, as if something was pulling him back forcefully.

Pushing away the hand that was supporting her arm, Zixi wrapped her cloak and said to Qinrao: "I'll go by myself!"

The three men behind him lined up in a row involuntarily, fearing that this frail body would be blown down by the wind, Qin Rao clung to Zixi's side, and from time to time glanced at this little girl with a mortal body without any spiritual power. My heart felt sour.

Along the way, the guards and maidservants who came and went saw the Fourth Highness and the Sixth Highness walking behind a strange woman, they were all shocked and curious. After saluting, they whispered something in twos and threes. After all, in the In this dynasty where men are superior to women, the queen is the only woman who can let the dignified son-in-law follow behind her.

Walking to a clean place, Zhulan gently held Zixi and said, "Wait a minute."

Zixi turned her head and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Looking at the faintly visible blue ribbon on Zixi's wrist, and then at the blood-striped sword tightly held in her hand, Zhu Lan slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said, "You're going to see King Nandan, this sword... I'm afraid it won't work. Bring it in."

Subconsciously pressing the sword close to her chest, Zixi said unwillingly, "I don't!"

Looking around, Zhu Lan stretched out his index finger and lightly tapped on the blood-striped sword. In a blink of an eye, the blood-striped sword was like a soft snake, wrapping around Zixi's wrist along the blue ribbon, and then took a closer look. , many bright red lines appeared on the pure-colored ribbon, Zixi said in surprise: "This..."

Zhu Lan said in a low voice: "This way you can carry it with you, and it will automatically appear when you encounter danger."

Zixi swallowed her saliva, and after a while, curled her lips and said:

"I mean, this color scheme...is too ugly!"

puff!
Teng Xuanyun nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, the sword is obviously blue with purple patterns, how did it turn into red patterns when it was attached to the ribbon? It's so ugly!"

Teng Xuanyi said: "This sword is extraordinary, and it is easy for the demons to find it. Zhulan is just a seal. I...I think it looks pretty good!"

Teng Xuanyun said: "I said fourth brother, when did your taste change? This green and red..."

Teng Xuanyi's face darkened, and said: "I say it looks good, it looks good!"

Teng Xuanyun frowned, and decided to argue again, only to hear Qin Rao coldly throwing a sentence: "Shut up!"

Biting his lip, his brows stretched, Teng Xuanyun kept Zixi's orders in mind all the time, he tilted his head to look at Qin Rao, twitched his mouth, nodded with a smile, and finally stopped talking nonsense.

Touching the ribbon on her wrist, Zixi said to herself: "It's pretty..."

Although this girl looks the same as usual on the surface, everyone understands that deep in her heart, there are too many heavy and complicated things accumulated. Worry.

Teng Xuanyi sighed softly, and suddenly saw a figure running towards him not far away, it was... the servant next to King Nandan!
"Fourth Highness, Sixth Highness!"

Teng Xuanyi nodded and raised his hands: "Excuse me, I see you are in a hurry, but where is the father..."

The servant lowered his head and replied: "If you go back to the Fourth Highness, the little one is to go to the palaces to pass the decree on the order of His Majesty."

Teng Xuanyi said: "Oh? What's the purpose?"

The servant buried his head a little deeper, hesitating a little bit: "Return...to the words of the Fourth Highness...it is..."

Teng Xuanyun was a little impatient: "Say it! What is it?"

The servant took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said: "Today in the hall, Your Majesty...he has decided on the crown prince..."

Teng Xuanyi showed an imperceptible smile. This servant was so nervous in front of him that it was difficult to speak. This person must not be himself. It is well known in the imperial palace that the third and fourth princes are incompatible, and the person who can make the servants so terrified, except the three Brother, who else?
"Who is it?" Teng Xuanyun wished he could open the servant's mouth and let him finish speaking quickly.

Boom!

The servant knelt down again, and replied tremblingly, "Yes...it's His Highness the Third Prince..."

The two armies confronted each other on the border, Prince Yanyou disappeared, His Royal Highness's family was destroyed, and the main hall of the Central Palace caught fire...

Who would have thought that the things that the ministers of the DPRK and China have worked so hard to ask for in the past few years have actually been settled under such complicated circumstances!What is even more frustrating is that the position of the prince at this time is not a name of glory, what it needs to bear and face is a burden that his father can no longer bear.

Teng Xuanyi's tone was still calm: "Understood, let's go!"

The servant seemed to have received an amnesty, and after saying "retirement", he hurriedly got up and ran away.

Teng Xuanyun couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, patted his hands lightly, and said with a smile: "Oh! Finally, something goes well! The third brother has become the prince, don't we need to find the father? Wait for the third brother to succeed , then the Thunder Army will be able to justify their grievances!"

Qin Rao glared at him and said, "Shut up!"

This time, Teng Xuanyun didn't obediently obey, but made a face at Qinrao: "Slightly slightly...don't go! The young master is no longer under your control! Hmph!"

Without raising her eyelids, Zixi turned around and continued to walk forward. Teng Xuanyi and Zhu Lan glanced at each other and followed immediately. Teng Xuanyun stood in place, scratched her cheeks, with a puzzled expression on her face: "Isn't it supposed to be?" Back to Yunying Palace? They... ouch!"

Suddenly feeling a sharp pain in the ear, Teng Xuanyun's face twisted and said: "Let go! It hurts!"

Twisting that red ear even harder, Qin Rao gritted her teeth and said, "How about I take you back?"

Teng Xuanyun begged for mercy: "No, no, no... I'll shut up, I'll shut up, you let go first!"

Qin Rao let go of her hand, looked at the red ear, and said distressedly: "Teng Xuanyun, don't make trouble, the matter is not as simple as you think, I beg you, don't talk too much, okay?"

Teng Xuanyun covered his ears and took two steps back. Just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly met Qin Rao's eyes. For some reason, his anger was instantly extinguished. On the back of the person, he said incoherently: "It's far away! Chase, run!"

After finishing speaking, he rubbed his ears and ran forward, Qin Rao shook his head, thinking: What should I do with him?
When they came to the entrance of the imperial study room, several people stopped in their tracks. The guards guarding the gate saw Teng Xuanyi, and their expressions became somewhat unnatural. He bowed politely, thinking that Teng Xuanyi was dissatisfied with the candidate for the crown prince, so he came here to ask for an explanation, and said tremblingly:
"Fourth Highness, Your Majesty is busy with official duties, I'm afraid now... I don't have time now..."

Teng Xuanyi pointed at Zixi, and said: "I won't go in, she wants to face the saint, you just go in and report."

The guard froze for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Yes."

After a while, the guard ran out and said to Zixi, "Miss, please."

Wrapped in a cloak, Zixi strode forward into the imperial study room without even turning her head.

Teng Xuanyi smiled, glanced at the window, and thought she stood aside, but Zhu Lan immediately understood, and after flicking her fingers, she held Teng Xuanyi with her left hand and Teng Xuanyun with her right hand. Teng Xuanyun just wanted to shake her Then, Qin Rao coughed lightly, and he instinctively stopped all his movements. At this moment, King Nandan's voice sounded clearly in his ears. He stared at Zhu Lan with wide eyes. It turned out that this The kid wants to eavesdrop with himself...

"What's the matter with finding a widow?"

King Nandan didn't expect that it was Zixi who was looking for him at this juncture. Of course, he thought that this silly girl was here to complain for Teng Xuanyi.

After staring at King Nandan's beard for a long while, Zixi asked inappropriately: "It's really a good job! You can't tell it's fake at all!"

King Nandan was at a loss: "What? What's fake?"

After waving his hands, Zixi went to the side and sat down, saying: "It's nothing, I mean you have a lot of capable people and strange people around you, and they are first-class in making troubles and making troubles!"

It's fine to salute irregularly. She sits casually in front of the monarch as if she is in her own home, and even crosses her legs. This girl is unprecedented.

King Nandan suppressed his anger, put down the pen in his hand, and said: "Girl, the widow will bear with you for the sake of the queen and Yi'er's face, so don't push yourself!"

After shaking her upturned legs twice, Zixi gave a long "hmm": "Coincidentally, me too!"

Suspecting that something was wrong with his ears, King Nandan stood up slowly: "What did you say?"

Patting the dust on the cloak that was blown by the wind, Zixi also stood up slowly: "Didn't hear clearly? Then blame your own bad ears, your bad ears, why waste my tongue and repeat once?"

The veins on both sides of his forehead popped up, King Nandan slammed the table and said loudly: "Presumptuous! Come..."

"What are you here for? Someone? You can do this kind of thing. You call people at every turn. Relying on your unique status, order this and order that. Hey! Do you dare not call people?"

Dare or not, these three words were like a fly stuck in King Nandan's throat. He knew that the little girl in front of him was unusual, but he couldn't even imagine that she was a desperate "lunatic".

Closing his eyes to calm down, King Nandan clenched his fists and said in a muffled voice, "Bai Wei! What exactly do you want to do?"

Recalling the first time they met, King Nandan still asked his name kindly, remembering that at that time he lied about being Luo Yiyao's younger sister, who would have imagined that in less than a year, everything would be completely changed.

Zixi smiled helplessly: "What do I want to do? I want to go to the imperial garden to catch butterflies, eat snacks in the queen's palace, drink wine and play games with the soldiers of the Yiqi Army, and see the loyal and loyal man who once terrified the enemy." The unswerving general of the Lei family, of course, I want to gain insight into people's hearts, understand human nature, and understand human feelings."

The angry eyes gradually turned into astonishment and uneasiness. King Nandan knew that at this moment, the arrogant girl in front of him represented Teng Xuanyi, and her words obviously meant something else.But how much she knew about the past, I still don't know, if I answer rashly, I'm afraid I will fall into her trap.

King Nandan thought for a moment, sat down slowly, and regained his calm posture: "Oh? It seems that you really have a lot of ideas."

After taking two steps forward, Zixi nodded: "That's right, you've done a lot, so I naturally think more."

King Nandan sneered and said: "You have heard that the widow has made Xuanxiao the crown prince, so you should be wronged for the fourth child! Girl, you are taking yourself too seriously."

Rolling his eyes, Zixi pretended to be thinking: "Well... yes! But this person, who can not take himself seriously? Do you?"

The anger that had just been suppressed was ready to move again, King Nandan took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it! Don't test the patience of the widow!"

"Oh, so your Majesty, you also like to go straight and straight? I thought that people in this position like to beat around the bush! It's hard for me to twist my intestines here, it's so uncomfortable!"

"you……"

"Hengcang is dead! The Yiqi army is gone! The bloodline of the Lei family is still alive, and the incense of General Lu Feng continues. How about it, is it straightforward enough?"

Every word struck Nandan King like thunder from the sky, he stared at Zixi intently, his head was buzzing, and in a trance, he suspected that he was dreaming, having the nightmare that often appeared...
