Concubine is always vicious

Chapter 34

"Because you look good."

"Heh...you look good too." It seems that Huo Tianxiao doesn't care that much about appearance. Although he heard An Huan's praise, Huo Tianxiao didn't show any emotion, and walked away, "Let's go, supper should be ready , accompany me to eat something."

"En." He nodded absent-mindedly, trying his best to guess Huo Tianxiao, but he still felt that he couldn't figure it out.

Supper is very simple, a pot of wine, a few light stir-fried vegetables, the table is set in the yard, with bright stars overhead, the atmosphere is very good.

Huo Tianxiao is very restrained. He drinks in small cups. After drinking one cup, he has to pause for a long time before drinking the second cup.

He is a person with a firm heart. This kind of person will not change easily once he makes a certain oath.Just like when he angrily threw the wine glass at the feet of the first emperor at a palace banquet, saying that he would never get drunk again in this life... In the many years after that, he really never got drunk again.

On the other hand, An Huan is a killer, wandering on the edge of darkness and light, living a life of no fixed place, and licking blood on the edge of a knife, he must have his head pinned to his belt, and his belief is that there is wine today and drunk today, so If you have wine, you can drink it, and if you have meat, you can eat it. This is very different from Huo Tianxiao.

The night was very quiet, except for the occasional chirping of insects, there was no sound at all. The two sat facing each other. Huo Tianxiao spent most of the time eating food, while An Huan spent most of the time drinking. .

When the cup and the chopsticks touched each other, they raised their heads and smiled at each other.

Huo Tianxiao asked, "How is this wine?"

"Very good, the wine tastes fragrant and tastes sweet, it's a rare good wine." An Huan said.

Huo Tianxiao picked up the cup and took a sip, "Yes, it's a rare and good wine. This wine has a name, it's called Peach Blossom Brew."

"Peach Blossom Noodles, what a beautiful name, is there any allusion in it?"

Shaking his head, Huo Tianxiao said, "There is no allusion, it's just wine brewed from the dew on peach petals, but there are only ten jars of this wine left, so every sip is less."

"Why?" An Huan asked puzzled.

"Because the person who brewed peach blossom wine is no longer here." After a pause, he drank a small glass of wine before Huo Tianxiao continued, "That person is my concubine mother."

After being silent for a while, An Huan said slowly, "I'm sorry, I made you sad."

"It's nothing...Sometimes, I get used to the pain when it hurts." Huo Tianxiao said, reaching out and patted his chest, "You know what? Many times, I can't feel my heart beating. Think, if there is no power of hatred to support me, I would have died long ago."

"Have you lived in hatred all your life? After you have avenged yourself, what are your plans?"

"I plan to...hehe, if I don't die, I will naturally be a good courtier in peace. When I get old, I will disarm and return to the field. I will go to the field every day to grow vegetables and drink wine. I think, at that time, I You should be able to get drunk." Huo Tianxiao said with a slight smile, when talking about this wish, the corners of his mouth curled into a beautiful arc, looking very yearning.

It turns out that this cold and cruel man outside, his wish is actually so simple?

All his life, he has been living for others. He obviously has amazing talent and wealth, but he is not enthusiastic about power and status at all.Could this be the reason why he abdicated the throne Zen to Huo Tianchen after he became famous?
An Huan expressed her confusion, she couldn't believe it was true, because if it was true, then Huo Tianxiao's actions were very different from his personality.And this kind of gap, no matter from which point of view, it is impossible to coexist in one person.

So, she couldn't hold back her curiosity right now, and asked, "Is this why you don't want to be emperor?"

His eyes lit up slightly, and Huo Tianxiao glanced at An Huan, as if he wanted to see through her purpose for asking this question. After a while, he said, "Why, are you interested?"

An Huan felt the scrutiny in Huo Tianxiao's eyes, nodded bravely, and said, "I think it's not just me who is curious, everyone in the world really wants to know what's going on."

With a faint smile, Huo Tianxiao said, "Actually, it's nothing, because I know very well that I may be a good official, but I will definitely not be a good emperor."

"It's that simple?" An Huan couldn't believe that the confusion that troubled thousands of people was actually such a sentence.

"It's that simple." Huo Tianxiao picked up a piece of green vegetables, chewed a couple of bites, and said with a smile, "Otherwise what do you think it is?"

"I thought..." At this point, An Huan's words suddenly stopped, realizing that he seemed to have fallen into a kind of inertial thinking, and Huo Tianxiao had all the right to speak.

"Why didn't you say it?" Huo Tianxiao asked with interest.

"Nothing, I think I'm a little drunk."

"When you're drunk, go back and rest." Huo Tianxiao didn't ask much.

"Okay..." Although she was still extremely surprised, An Huan stood up and walked towards the wing.

After walking two steps, Huo Tianxiao's gentle voice came from behind, "An, you are beautiful tonight."

"I……"

"I used to think that the concubine mother is the most beautiful woman in the world, but now, I want to change this view. You are as beautiful as her, and you are very similar. Moreover, her clothes suit you very well."

"Thank you." After saying these words in a low voice, An Huan returned to the wing with inexplicable thoughts.

She clearly realized that when Huo Tianxiao said this just now, somewhere in her heart suddenly became so soft, it was really an extremely bad feeling.

If it is said that she just didn't dislike Huo Tianxiao before, then now, this dislike seems to be gradually changing, turning into a favorable opinion.

However, once a person who is destined to be at odds with each other has a good impression, does it mean that there is no redemption?

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

And this kind of emotion continued after returning to the palace the next day.

Seeing her in a daze in front of the dressing table, Xiyue stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes. After waking her up, she giggled, "What is the princess thinking about? She is so fascinated."

"It's nothing, what happened to the matter I ordered you to investigate?" An Huan calmed down and asked seriously.

Xiyue pursed her mouth and said dissatisfiedly, "I have traveled to several places, but once I asked about the prince or Bai Guifei, no one dared to speak."

"Oh." An Huan nodded, not surprised by the result.

Because of Huo Tianxiao's uncertain personality changes, An Huan felt like a thorn in her heart. She couldn't wait to learn more about him and Concubine Bai, so that in the future when something happened to her, she could Can get away with ease.

Asking Xiyue to inquire about this matter was not intended to get anything out of those people's mouths, but to attract Huo Tianxiao's attention.

If Huo Tianxiao is really concerned about this matter, he will definitely take some action. At that time, the real fun will begin.

Seeing that she seemed dissatisfied, Xiyue said shamelessly, "Princess, it's my servant who is not doing well, so I will go to investigate again."

An Huan took her hand and smiled sweetly, "Forget it, don't bother, just stay here."

"Then I'll comb the princess's hair." Xi Yue said with a smile.

An Huan nodded and sat up.

Xiyue skillfully untied her hair, picked up the mahogany comb, and combed it slowly.

After a while, she heard a familiar sound of footsteps in the room. She didn't need to turn her head to know that it was Huo Tianxiao who came, but she was slightly surprised that Huo Tianxiao came so fast.

"My lord..." Xiyue bowed.

Huo Tianxiao waved his hands expressionlessly, "Back off."

"Yes." Xiyue put down the mahogany comb and left quietly.

Huo Tianxiao looked at the bright and snowy figure in the bronze mirror, his mind was slightly in a trance, he took a step forward, took the mahogany comb, and combed it again and again.

An Huan always had a faint smile on his face, and asked, "I heard that the prince was in a hurry just now, but you have something to ask me."

"You guessed that I was coming." Huo Tianxiao said in surprise.

"No... It's just that I was thinking that if I did something that the prince doesn't like, the prince will definitely come, but I didn't expect the prince to come so soon."

"Since you know that I don't like it, why do you still do it?" Huo Tianxiao said with a stiff face. For him, the matter between Bai Guifei and the prince has always been a taboo. At least until the truth is restored, no one will Don't touch it, but, for so many years, he has been unable to find out what the truth is.

Smiling slightly, An Huan said, "Actually, there is no need for the prince to get angry. There are some things that the prince is unwilling to do, or it is inconvenient to do. Wouldn't it be great for me to help you do it?"

"What do you want to say?" Huo Tianxiao said in a deep voice.

"The concubine just wants to help the lord open his heart knot." In a word, a taste is enough, both parties are smart people, so there is no need to expose everything.

Sure enough, people flock together, and things form groups. Smart people are the ones who can best understand the thoughts of smart people.

Hearing this, Huo Tianxiao pondered for a while before saying, "Why do you make me believe you?"

Sometimes, it takes courage and perseverance to uncover the scars, especially if the scars have festered from the inside.

With a faint smile, An Huan said, "I think, what happened back then, the lord must know better than anyone else, right? And I also know that the lord has never let go of it all these years, and has been doing it in secret. The investigation is just the result of the investigation, which is not satisfactory."

"You know quite a lot." Huo Tianxiao mocked.

Both sides knew each other's hole cards, so Huo Tianxiao was not surprised that he knew so much about An Huan, it was just uncomfortable.

"Thank you, my lord, for your compliment." Ignoring the anger on Huo Tianxiao's face, An Huan smiled sweetly.

This smile was extremely pure, without any flaws at all, but Huo Tianxiao knew that it was just an illusion, a means she used to disguise herself. I'm sure I can investigate the events of the year, but what I'm most interested in now is that you deliberately attracted my king's attention, presumably not just out of curiosity. Tell me about your purpose." Even if An Huan was the one he was looking for The woman he had been with for ten years, but this did not affect his judgment and reason.

With a low sigh, he marveled at Huo Tianxiao's shrewdness. Sure enough, he couldn't hide anything from him. After pondering for a while, An Huan said, "Actually, I came up with this matter on a whim, but seeing how the lord treats me like this." Don't worry, why don't you just make a small request."

She spoke vaguely and unwillingly, as if Huo Tianxiao was persecuting her, Huo Tianxiao smiled wryly, but couldn't get angry, "Speak."

An Huan blinked her eyes and said with a faint smile, "My lord should know that since I came out of that place, I have been living a life of wandering and wandering, and I have always been insecure. So, if I help my lord to investigate what happened back then, then no matter what No matter how wrong I have done, the prince must give me immunity unconditionally."
