Raid

Chapter 110
"Naturally, if you are a traitor, you can kill your concubine yourself." Li Shengxi's eyes were pure and sincere.

Looking at Li Shengxi, Rong Zhi burst into tears suddenly, but he didn't cry, instead he smiled, "With the lady here, everything Rong does is worth it."

He didn't doubt that Qu Yingxiao was sent by Guan Zhi to test him.Because at this moment, he has nothing to fear.Furthermore, I'm afraid that Guan Zhi is having a hard time at the moment, so is there still time to manage him?
"Is it worth having a concubine?" If someone knows him, is what he does worth doing?What if not?If no one knew about him throughout Northern Qi, would he still feel that everything he had done was worth it? "What if there is no concubine? What if the concubine also misunderstands the gentleman like others? Is it worth it for the gentleman?"

Rong Zhi's expression froze, he couldn't help rubbing his thumb on the quilt, and he couldn't help thinking along Li Shengxi's words, but soon, he suddenly smiled, "I've already done it, even if the world doesn't know that Rong , everything has become a foregone conclusion, and it is meaningless to discuss whether it is worth it, isn't it? And there is Mrs. Qu, isn't there? No matter how many assumptions and ifs, it can't be worth a fact. Rong is in this world, If you already have a confidant, that's enough."

He avoided this question, and Li Shengxi captured it keenly.In the past, Rong Zhi would definitely say "worth it", but now he avoids this question.

This shows that his originally unwavering heart has been shaken at this moment.Why are you shaken?Is it because of the student who died under Miyagi?

"Best friend?" Li Sheng tilted his head.

Rong Zhi nodded solemnly, and suddenly realized whether his words were too abrupt for Li Sheng, but people who have been in the dark for too long often yearn for the light like this. He looked at Li Sheng in front of him. Sheng Xi, "A bosom friend, a lady who can see through appearances is naturally Zhi's bosom friend."

Li Shengxi's eyes were complicated, and she said softly, "As long as you can understand the gentleman, can you be considered a confidant? Does the gentleman know who the concubine is, how old is the concubine, and who is her last name?"

"It's the same as before. I'm so lucky. It doesn't matter who it is?" Rong Zhi shook his head.

Li Shengxi's eyes moved, and after a while, she nodded with a smile. In this way, she is indeed a confidant.

Rong Zhi regards her as a confidant because she can see and understand Rong Zhi's ambition.The world doesn't know him, but she knows, understands, and respects his ambition.So for Rong Zhi, she is a confidant, even if they just "meet each other by chance" now.

But as far as she is concerned, is Rong Zhi not a confidant?Every time she faced Rong Zhi, she felt like she was looking at herself in a mirror.To her, Rong Zhi is like Li Shengxi in another situation.

He is not a high-ranking princess, but a descendant of Li Shu who weaves and sells shoes.He was not so lucky. He had an elder brother who protected him from the wind and rain along the way. After growing up, the country has gradually entered the right track.

Li Shengxi had a vague feeling that if she and Rong Zhi were to change places, he would be the grandson of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and she would be the Li Shu of the Northern Qi Dynasty, they would make the same choice as the other party.

In this way, how is it not considered a bosom friend?
Now that Rong Zhi has been shaken, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, let her, Rong Zhi's only confidant, shake Rong Zhi completely.

"If you have a confidant in life, you should understand it." Li Shengxi was also happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but said with emotion.

"Fortunately, it should be like this." Rong Zhi said sincerely, the suffocation in his heart was completely dissipated, and his heart suddenly became relaxed.

Li Shengxi was about to pour wine, but couldn't help but glance at Rong Zhi, Rong Zhi's face was pale, and he was afraid he couldn't drink.

Li Shengxi didn't know what came to mind, he looked at Rong Zhi narrowly, "It's just that Mr. Lang is in a hurry and hurts, I'm afraid he can't drink alcohol."

After Li Shengxi finished speaking, he took out a jug of wine, poured himself a glass, and then went to bring a bowl of medicine to Rong Zhi, "Drinking tea is not suitable either, since that's the case, replace the bar with medicine."

Rong Zhi: "..."

How does it feel, the person in front of him feels like he has been waiting for this day for a long time.

He picked up the medicine bowl, touched Li Shengxi's wine glass lightly, and the two drank each.

Li Shengxi felt happy in his heart, but after Rong Zhi drank the medicine, his complexion became extremely weirdly distorted.

Why is this medicine so bitter?

Because of the student's advice, Emperor Yuan Jia handed over the matter to King Wu from Rong Zhi's hands.There is the ancestral precept that there is no doubt about the crime, and the King of Wu will naturally release water if he can. Among these deputy examiners, the most severe punishment is nothing more than deprivation of his official position.

This sentence can be described as a lose-lose situation.Although Zhi could not dominate the family, the Qing officials were never completely preserved.

In addition, because of the empress, he didn't dare to talk more about political affairs at the moment, so the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment that Rong Zhi had promised to be was also in vain.

Although Rong Zhi was "dissatisfied", he also knew that the matter was caused by himself, so he did not dare to complain.

The disturbances from the outside world continue, and the disputes between politicians will never end.

The first thing Xu Yi did after he was released from prison was to take his wife Yan Shi to visit Zhan Qirui.Zhan Qirui has been seriously ill since the Imperial City Pleading Meeting came that day.

When Xu Yi saw Zhan Qirui again, Zhan Qirui lost a lot of weight and his face was also pale.In contrast, Xu Yi's complexion was much ruddy at that time, and apart from some bruises on his face, there were no other scars.Looking at it this way, it seemed that it was not Xu Yi who was imprisoned, but Zhan Qirui.

"Brother Zhan, how is your health? I heard that you were ill as soon as I got out of prison, are you okay?" Xu Yi looked at Zhan Qirui worriedly.

Zhan Qirui shook his head, the pain in his eyes could not be concealed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't know how long he hadn't rested.

Standing by the side, Mrs. Meng couldn't help wiping away tears.

"Brother Jiashan, are you okay? Those cruel officials didn't do anything to you, did they?" Zhan Qirui looked at the bruise on Xu Yi's face.

Xu Yi shook his head, "I'm fine. Apart from punching me a few times on the day they arrested me, they didn't do anything to me. After I was imprisoned, they only locked me up for a few days. Harsh treatment. But Brother Zhan, why did you become so sick after seeing you for a few days?"

How high-spirited Zhan Lang was back then, why was he so decadent now?

Zhan Qirui didn't care what he looked like, but his past sensitivity allowed him to quickly catch a trace of strangeness, "Rong Zhi's reputation as a cruel official spread far and wide. After you went to prison, didn't he do anything to you?"

Xu Yi shook his head, "I also find it strange, but maybe he didn't notice me as an ordinary scholar then?"
