Xi Die's body trembled violently, and the warmth all over her body immediately faded away. Her body felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and was cold from head to toe. She struggled subconsciously, but Ouyang Chenfeng's voice rang in her ears again.
"I did not let Concubine Yun harm you. She made her own decision. I have already sent her to death! Clean up the harem for the Queen!"
"you……"
Xi Die stared dumbly at Ouyang Chenfeng's charming face, but doubts came over her heart one after another. Why did he tell herself?
If he keeps silent, Xidie will investigate on her own, so she may still believe it, but is what he says really the truth?
"Xiuyun's true identity is the princess of the Kingdom of Hades. I rescued her when I was on patrol in disguise five years ago, so I brought her back to the palace. At first, she was just a little palace maid, and she successfully climbed up to the position of noble concubine step by step.
I accidentally overheard her murmuring in her sleep and got some clues, so I sent someone to investigate deeply and discovered her identity. I have always wanted to see when she would kill me, and at the same time get the secrets of the Kingdom of Hades from her.
Xunxi, but after waiting for several years, she did not take action. Later, I married Li Guo, so I sent her to Lingfeng Palace to serve you. I just wanted to monitor you. Firstly, I wanted to force her to take action earlier. Secondly, I also wanted to
Let her have a taste of serving a princess from another country, but she never expected that Xiuyun would feel resentful and secretly poison you!"
The luan phoenix lamp in the hall was filled with sandalwood, overflowing with a clear scent. When Ouyang Chenfeng spoke, his tone was light and deep, as if he was telling someone else's story.
It seemed that the person who could be killed by conspiracy and assassination at any time was not himself.
But Xidie just raised her head and listened carefully, thinking that it would be good to find some clues from his mouth. She just listened with an angry look on her face at first, and then unknowingly slowly faded away and replaced it with
A layer of surprise and inexplicability.
The heart is also undergoing earth-shaking changes.
Why does she feel that there is an inexplicable sadness between Ouyang Chenfeng's eyebrows?
Is it the helplessness of being an emperor and the scars accumulated along the way?
He should have never said these words to anyone else, right? But why did he insist on telling them to himself?
"Whether you believe it or not, if one day I want your life, I will not hurt anyone in secret. I will tell you clearly that I want your life!" A trace of cruelty flashed across Ouyang Chenfeng's handsome face, and he said
The confusion and surprise on Xidie's face was replaced by a faint smile
In fact, Ouyang Chenfeng was also very surprised. These words were buried deep in his heart. He thought they would never be dug out, but for some reason, he was actually willing to tell her everything.
Maybe two enemies standing on the top of a snowy peak with the same aloofness, fighting each other every day, will develop an inexplicable feeling and trust for each other because of their loneliness and sympathy for each other, right?
Because both he and she knew that proud people always fight openly and never shoot secret arrows!
"Your Majesty, is it that important whether I believe it or not?"
Xidie pouted her red lips that glowed in the dark night, turned around, and her slender back and thin shoulders suddenly appeared in Ouyang Chenfeng's eyes!
He wouldn't know that there was an inexplicable conflict in Xidie's heart. One of them was saying not to believe him, that he was using mind-attacking techniques, just to make her surrender.
One of them said, believe him, maybe he is telling the truth.
But no matter what methods he used, they could not obliterate the fact that Ouyang Chenfeng was a wise king.
In this case, how could he resort to such despicable methods just because she is a little girl?
However, even if this one can be justified, how should I explain the reminder of my death in the Qilong Palace?
It's not like he was in a nightmare, a poison popped up, fell into his mouth, and was poisoned, right?
Moreover, she remembered that the sandalwood in Qilong Palace at that time had the effect of calming the mind and sleeping peacefully, indicating that everything had been prepared in advance to let her fall into the trap.
"Xi~die~"
Ouyang Chenfeng was not sleeping, he just opened his sharp black and white eyes and quietly looked at the woman lying next to him with her back to him.
This is the first time so far that a woman has slept with her back to him. In the past, as long as a woman got into his bed, she would do whatever she could to make him happy, and he would also be happy and free.
!
"I'm here!" Xidie closed her eyes and relaxed slightly, but her ears and body were always on guard.
"If one day, Yang Kingdom and Li Kingdom are on the battlefield, which side will you stand on?" Ouyang Chenfeng said casually, looking at the carved beams and painted buildings looming in the charcoal fire.
"Of course it is the Li Kingdom. Your Majesty should know that my concubine married to the Yang Kingdom to protect the health of the people of the Li Kingdom. If I can get a harmonious relationship by sacrificing my concubine, I will die without regrets!"
As soon as Ouyang Chenfeng finished speaking, Xidie's heart trembled for no reason, but she still spoke the unwavering truth in her heart without hesitation. She didn't want to please him, nor did she want to lie to him. If a war really started, maybe,
On that day, she will no longer be weak and will really raise her knife and strike at Ouyang Chenfeng!
"What if I am willing to be kind to the people of Li Kingdom?" Ouyang Chenfeng asked immediately, his eyes were calm and he couldn't tell what his emotions were.
"What if Li Kingdom is allowed to treat the people of Yang Kingdom kindly? Your Majesty~" Xi Diehao retorted rudely, not giving Ouyang Chenfeng any way out, and his heart gradually calmed down, he turned around, and the two of them
Lying face to face, Xidie glanced at Ouyang Chenfeng lightly and continued.
"At present, the four countries seem to be unevenly matched, but there is no guarantee that the other countries are not hoarding their talents and hiding their strength. Although the Yang Kingdom seems to be the best among the four countries on the surface, there is no guarantee that once they fight, they will not be completely defeated!"
"Well...what the Queen said makes sense!"
Ouyang Chenfeng stared at Xidie with admiration, reached out and gently pushed the hanging black silk on Xidie's face behind her ears, hoping that she would continue talking. Seeing that the emperor was not as angry as before, Xidie suddenly felt like
As if I had discovered a treasure, I was as surprised as I could be, so I boldly continued.
"The kings of the four countries can be regarded as heroes, capable of military and civil affairs, training and formation of troops, and can do everything. I believe that each country has sent many scouts and various masters to the other three countries to deliver the latest actions and news of each country at any time.
Returning to the country, he remained unchanged in response to all changes and changed his strategy at any time. The Yang Kingdom was the most outstanding among the four kingdoms. The Li Kingdom showed its sincerity with its concubine and entered into a marriage alliance with it. The concubine did not make any rash remarks. As for the Eagle Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom,
They seem to be the two weakest countries among the four countries, but when the powerful Yue Kingdom attacked these two countries, they failed to win repeatedly. Has the Emperor ever thought about the reason?"
