Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 222
In the silence of the night, Li Xuanye's voice suddenly sounded: "The conversation between Nanny Sun and me just now, you obviously found it very strange, why didn't you ask?"

Zhao Xiwei just took a look at him, but his usually star-like eyes were now a little sad.

The guess in her heart was confirmed somewhat.

There must be some unpleasant memories between Nanny Sun and Li Xuanye.

After thinking about it, she said, "Because I think, if His Highness wants to tell me, he will definitely find an opportunity to tell me. If he doesn't want to tell me, he won't tell me even if I ask."

"You..." Li Xuanye sighed lightly, but continued after a long time: "You guessed right."

Zhao Xiwei's heart tightened, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just held his breath and listened to what he said.

Li Xuanye remained silent for a long time, until Zhao Xiwei was about to give up, and then he said: "Back then, my mother had a difficult labor when she was giving birth, so Sun Shangyi was invited to the delivery room."

Zhao Xi trembled slightly.

Li Xuanye held her hand and took it away again, letting her head rest on his chest, and his voice was so flat that he seemed to be talking about a past event that had nothing to do with him: "When the father arrived, the mother had already passed away. It's just my last breath."

Zhao Xiwei only felt that a string in his heart suddenly became taut, and if he didn't pay attention, it would break.

Did Li Xuanye suspect Grandma Sun?
Or do you think Nanny Sun is a very important clue?

After thinking about it, she finally reached out and hugged him gently: "Your Highness is so smart, he will definitely find out the truth."

Li Xuanye did not speak.

Zhao Xiwei couldn't help but glanced at him, his expression was calm as usual, and he couldn't see any emotion.

She hid her head in his chest again, so as to listen to his heartbeat.

It is also stable as usual.

Li Xuanye saw through her worry, so he smiled lowly, and couldn't help pinching her cheek: "I'm a big man, so I'm so fragile."

Zhao Xiwei also felt naive for his little actions.

Yes, Li Xuanye is the true son of heaven, he grew up in the palm of the emperor.

However, the fact that he can take the initiative to talk to himself, does it prove that he has more trust in himself?

Zhao Xi thought for a while, then decided to tell him about the Empress Dowager today: "I met the Empress Dowager in the palace today."

To her surprise, Li Xuanye's face was still so calm, without any ripple.

Zhao Xiwei hesitated for a moment.

If he doesn't trust himself, then telling him these things will only get him charged with "inciting dissension and disobedience".

Although the prince and the queen mother are opposites, they are all members of the royal family after all.

And myself is an outsider.

Li Xuanye's voice interrupted her wild thoughts: "Why don't you say anything?"

Zhao Xi looked at him slightly, and said softly: "I also met Concubine Xian, and Fang Jieyu."

Li Xuanye let out a "hmm".

Zhao Xiwei couldn't figure out what his attitude was, so he could only say in a daze: "Fang Jieyu didn't recognize me at first, and asked me to kneel down for her. Concubine Xian just arrived and slapped her. Then the Queen Mother Also here..."

Seeing that she suddenly stopped talking, Li Xuanye looked at her.

Zhao Xiwei had no choice but to say: "When the Queen Mother got angry, she dragged Fang Jieyu down."

After finishing speaking, she thought of those eyes again, and shivered involuntarily.

Li Xuanye hugged her even tighter, and put his palms lightly on her back. This posture immediately made her feel much more at ease.

"Are you still afraid?" He didn't ask further, but only asked this question in a soft voice.

Zhao Xiwei looked at him in surprise: "Your Highness knows?"

He hummed lightly.

What happens in the palace cannot be hidden from his eyes and ears.Besides, the queen mother didn't want to hide it at all, so he received the news when he returned to the East Palace.

However, he didn't want her to know how he fought back.

Although she has a tough and brave personality, she is a delicate woman who has never seen the darkness and blood in the palace.

It was just a pair of eyes that had already frightened her like this.

He rubbed her head with his chin, smelled the faint fragrance of her hair, and said, "The Queen Mother made this for me, don't take it to heart."

"For you to see?"

"Yeah." Li Xuanye said lightly, "A few days ago, I sent Wang Fan to the Internal Guard."

"..." Zhao Xi was slightly surprised, "You really put Wang Fan..."

Having said that, she already took a deep breath.

Wang Fan is the only child of the Empress Dowager's natal family. Doesn't this mean that the Wang family is about to end...

No wonder the queen mother has to make life difficult for herself.

Li Xuanye looked calm: "I think so, but it's a pity that the Queen Mother stopped me."

"Prevent?"

"Hmm." Li Xuanye's mouth curled up, and a slight smile appeared: "The Empress Dowager handed over the power of water transportation."

Zhao Xi was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood something.

The queen mother used Wang Fan to deal with the Zhao family.

But Li Xuanye simply took a slanted sword and threatened the Queen Mother directly with Wang Fan.

It's a good trick, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.

Li Xuanye's move was ruthless, and all the risks were borne by the Zhao family.

The queen mother can ignore the Wang family, but he is not responsible for the Zhao family.

He suddenly decided to marry himself as the crown princess, probably because of his promise to the Zhao family.

If so, he and she came together because of their interests...

Thinking of this, she suddenly became uneasy.

If one day, the queen mother wants to eradicate the Zhao family, will he come forward to protect himself?
But this kind of words, she can't ask, and she won't ask, she can only think about it in her heart.

Li Xuanye felt her body suddenly turn cold, so he hugged her again with both hands.

The waist was as slender as a wicker, and he could barely hold it with one hand.

The whole person is nestled in his arms, her body is as soft as a cloud, it seems that with just a little force on his arm, she can float up.

He couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

How could such a delicate body withstand his fierce attack last night?

What's more, she was still hungry at the time.

I was so frightened in the palace today, I almost vomited up my internal organs, and I didn't eat anything when I came back.

After being tossed like this again by him, I'm afraid I won't be able to support her for a few days.

Thinking of this, his voice was filled with guilt: "Are you hungry? Can I have someone bring you supper?"

"I don't want to eat, I have no appetite." The man in his arms muttered.

Li Xuanye smiled slightly.

After a while, he said again: "Then let the kitchen make you something light tomorrow to nourish your stomach."

"Hmm." The person in his arms answered casually in a daze.

"It will be New Year's Eve soon. There are many entertainments in the palace. I will reject them for you. You will stay in the East Palace during this period. It is important to take good care of yourself."

But never heard her response again.

Li Xuanye lowered his head in surprise, he did not expect that she had already fallen asleep.

She curled up in his arms, a small ball, as docile and obedient as a cat.

A head of blue silk covered his chest, shining like satin.
