Chapter 778 Gu Doesn't Like Being Threatened
This menacing tone stunned the two people who were confronting each other.

Zhao Ziyi withdrew her outstretched hand, and took a step back slowly: "Eldest Princess, please speak up if you have something to say, Your Highness doesn't want you to hurt Miss Wei."

"Really?" The eldest princess sneered, "I think you forgot what the crown prince said just now? Your Highness just said that no matter what, I am from the Li family—" She looked at Li Xuanye, her tone unhurried Xu, "Your Highness, is this still true?"

There was silence all around.

The guards held their breath and waited quietly.

Zhao Xi held his breath slightly, while quietly looking for an opportunity, while staring at Li Xuanye——

As long as he gives an order, she can save herself with one blow!
however……

Li Xuanye didn't look at her.

He stood there with indifferent eyes, falling outside the encirclement, as if he was deliberating whether to withdraw the guards...

Like pouring cold water, the glimmer of hope in Zhao Xiwei's heart was instantly extinguished.

What is she expecting...

Li Xuanye is a person who cares more about power and status. He only wants to be a good emperor in the future, so why would he give up his bargaining chip for her?
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his neck.

It was the nails that cut her skin!

The situation is out of control, life and death cannot be avoided!

Gritting his teeth hard, Zhao Xiwei just bent his elbow when he heard Li Xuanye suddenly speak again: "Take the sword!"

"Yes!"

With a response, a guard stepped out of the queue.

It was Yuan Ce.

He came out, turned around, then bent his knees, half-kneeled in front of Li Xuanye, raised his hands flat, and presented a gleaming object——

A sword!
The eldest princess' pupils shrank suddenly.

This sword has the power of life and death.

Li Xuanye took the long sword, looked at it for a moment, then stretched out two fingers, brushing the blade inch by inch.

His movements were very slow, so slow that everyone felt that they were in torment, until the eldest princess opened her lips anxiously, and his movement of wiping the sword suddenly stopped!
"Wow—"

It was too late to say it, but then it was too fast, with a twist of the wrist, the long sword came out horizontally, with the tip of the sword like a light, stabbing at Zhao Xiwei fiercely!
There was the whistling of the wind in my ears, and Zhao Ziyi's almost uncontrollable call: "Miss Wei! Get out of here!"

Zhao Xiwei didn't dodge, she stood motionless, staring at the sharp blade, if...

If he really wants to take this opportunity to kill himself, then she...

A cold light flashed past, making her lose her mind for a moment. The sword tip came towards her, like flowing clouds, like lightning, within an inch of her eyebrows, she suddenly retracted her movements.

Zhao Xiwei suddenly raised his hand——

A cold light crossed between her brows, and the cool feeling against her skin made her blink reflexively.

Between the trembling of the eyelashes, there was a lightness between the neck.

Then there was an exclamation, and Zhao Xiwei looked closely, and saw the eldest princess clutching her neck, and took a step back.

Blood oozed from between her fingers, staining most of her palms red. She staggered and took several steps back, and didn't stop until her body was against the pillar.

"Prince, you..." She stretched out her palm, looked at the blood on it, and then at the person in front of her, her tone was full of disbelief: "You actually... want to kill me?" After muttering such a sentence, she Suddenly his eyes widened, and his expression became fierce: "You actually want to kill me! I'm your aunt! I'm your father's biological sister! You actually want to kill me for Zhao Xiwei!"

"Father's own sister?" Li Xuanye repeated, smiled, and then sheathed his sword, "If it wasn't for Father's sake, how could Gu be merciful?"

Saying that, he casually threw the sword to Yuan Ce, and then looked at Zhao Xiwei.

"Prince!" The eldest princess stepped forward unwillingly, "How can you be partial to this..."

"Huh?" Li Xuanye flicked his sleeves, turned to the eldest princess, and suddenly smiled.

His tone can be said to be gentle, and even somewhat inexplicably close: "Auntie, I know you feel wronged, and I don't want you to lose the face of the princess, so I mobilized the whole hospital. But, Everything should be done in moderation, and you must not overdo it. Otherwise, even if I don't mind, the emperor's side can't justify it, don't you think so, aunt?"

This is said in a friendly manner, but the meaning of admonishment is very obvious. The eldest princess has always been smart and decent in her life, and she has never been refuted like this in person, let alone her own nephew?
But she wasn't really in a daze, she hurriedly explained: "Prince, aunt doesn't mean that, aunt just thinks..."

"Okay!" Li Xuanye didn't want to continue this topic, so he just waved his hand and said in a low voice: "My aunt's thoughts, my father and I both understand. Since you donated Jinshan for the urgent need of the national treasury, it is enough to prove that He is a person with the whole world in mind, how could he hurt the peace of the court because of these petty fights? Of course, then again—”

He chuckled, turned his eyes to Zhao Xiwei's face, and said, "I just don't like being threatened, especially when it comes to women." After a pause, he turned his eyes to the eldest princess, "Auntie understands. ?”

The eldest princess clutched her injured neck, unable to speak a word.

Li Xuanye looked at Zhao Ziyi again, his eyes were cold: "Prime Minister, you are also a smart person, so you don't have to say it a second time alone, right?"

A contest gained the upper hand, Zhao Ziyi was folding her sleeves and lowering her eyes, pretending to be respectful and humble, when she was called out suddenly, but she didn't panic at all, she just arched her hands and bowed solemnly: "Your Highness has taught you well. , I must be cautious in my words and deeds."

Li Xuanye glanced at him again, then raised his hand and said, "Let's all step back."

"Yes."

After all the guards retreated, he turned his attention to Zhao Xiwei again.

And Zhao Xiwei was looking back at him for a moment.

A few steps away, the two just stared at each other without words or expressions, as if time had frozen.

It was almost midnight, and there were bursts of chill in the air, and it happened that the wind picked up, and it was blowing straight into the sleeves.

Zhao Xiwei came out in a hurry, and didn't have time to put on a cloak. At this moment, he felt chills all over his body, and couldn't help but shivered.

"Ah-choo—" With a sound, she suddenly became dizzy and fell down.

Li Xuanye's face suddenly changed, and he rushed over and embraced her whole body: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Xiwei was half embraced by him, trying to raise his face, but only saw a hazy halo.

I opened my eyes wide and searched for a long time, but I couldn't find a clear line of sight, only vaguely saw his familiar outline, and heard an anxious voice: "Wake up! Zhao Xiwei, wake up!"

"a bit tired……"

She opened her mouth, spat out these words with great effort, and let herself limp in his arms.

When I woke up again, it was already afternoon.

The sun shines through the tulle, sprinkling a patch of mottled.

The air exudes a cold fragrance of flowers, accompanied by the faint smell of medicine, which makes people feel doubly comfortable.

Zhao Xiwei lay on the bed, staring at the bed curtain for a while.

　It's too late, I'll go to bed first, Chapter 2 will be updated during the day
