Chapter 27 Showdown
"Oh, yes, yes, look at my memory," Uncle Tai patted his big head and laughed:

"But their names are really hard to pronounce. Just like His Highness, let's call them Qiao'er and Xiang'er..."

Uncle Dong stood aside and ignored his companion's chatter.

His eyes fell on the endless night in the distance.

I do not know how long it has been.

The clatter of horse hooves broke the silence of the night, coming from far to near, coming from the ancient road with scattered yellow leaves.

The two people on the side of the road looked at each other, and then they set off to meet them together.

Xilulu~~

The driver stopped the carriage and saluted the two people coming towards him.

Sensing the movement outside, the thick car curtain was opened by a pair of small white hands.

As the crisp bell rang, a fair and delicate little face poked out of the curtain.

After seeing the faces of Uncle Dong and Uncle Tai, the alert look on her face suddenly disappeared.

"Uncles, long time no see."

The beautiful girl subconsciously shook her waist-length silky hair and greeted the two of them with a sweet smile.

Uncle Dong nodded slightly.

Uncle Tai responded enthusiastically: "Qiao'er, long time no see. Where is your sister Xiang'er?"

Hearing this, Qiaoer turned around and glanced into the carriage, then replied with vigor:
"She's sleeping inside. Do you want to wake her up?"

"No need," Uncle Dong said calmly and asked with his true energy:
"There is nothing wrong with what the prince asked you to bring, right?"

When it came to business, Qiaoer suppressed his smile and shook his head vigorously.

And the silver bell she wore around her neck made a beautiful sound of jingling and jingling.

Seeing this, Uncle Tai next to him couldn't help but find it interesting and asked with a smile:

"It's so late at night, why aren't you sleepy?"

"Because I'm so excited that I can't sleep at the thought of being with my master."

After Qiaoer replied matter-of-factly, he thought of something and blinked at the two of them with big eyes that were inquisitive:

"I heard that Master has found a husband. Is this true?"

Uncle Dong remained silent and didn't speak.

Uncle Tai nodded lightly: "It's true. If nothing else happens, you will be able to see him at dawn."

"Okay," Qiaoer said happily, and then asked casually:
"The master's husband, is he good-looking?"

Hearing this, Uncle Dong snorted very slightly and straightened his straight sleeves, seeming to be a little contented.

Uncle Tai shook his head first, thought about it, and then replied:
"Well...Although that young hero looks a bit ordinary, he is very confident and very..."

"Okay," Uncle Dong interrupted, sat next to the coachman, and urged:

"Since Qiao'er is so curious, you won't know until you take a look in person."

……

……

The warm morning sun shines through the window lattice and onto the wood-colored floor.

Xiang Yi, who was leaning over the desk by the window, slowly opened his eyes that turned back to obsidian.

After raising her head, she rubbed her painful temples with her wrist, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong with her body.

Looking down slightly, Xiang Yi immediately saw a knife of white paper spread out on the case.

This was something she and Li Xiaobu bought at the town market before.

On the surface of the white paper at the top, there are a few large characters written in beautiful handwriting:

"Xiang Yi, long time no see"

Seeing this, the girl had already expected it and turned to the next page expressionlessly.

But what came next couldn't help but make her eyes darken.

"I drank rice wine last night. It was very sweet. I drank it with Brother Xiaobu."

silence for a moment,

She reached out and picked up the paper, crumpled it into a ball bit by bit, and held it firmly in her palm.

Under this piece of paper, which is also the last piece of paper with handwriting, there are only a few numbers written on it:

"I said what needed to be said, good luck to you."

Sign it, Xiaoyi.

Xiang Yi stared at the paper silently for a while, then stood up and hurriedly walked out of the room.

In the small courtyard, smoke curled up from the kitchen diagonally opposite.

Holding a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, Li Cheng stepped out of the room and happened to look at the cold and pretty face of the girl he met.

"Good morning," with a slight smile on his lips, Li Cheng said calmly:

"I cooked some porridge, which will help relieve hangover and nourish the stomach. You can eat it while it's hot."

After hearing these ordinary words, Xiang Yi's already cold expression turned even colder.

The relationship between the two seemed to be back to the same state as when they first met.

Li Cheng had foreseen this in his heart, knowing that the other party would be angry.

He walked silently across the yard, walked into the main room, and passed by Xiang Yi outside the door.

When he was putting the hot porridge on the dining table, a cold voice came from behind him:
"Why...why did you drink with her?"

"Sorry, I shouldn't have entered your room last night...huh?"

Li Cheng was slightly taken aback, then turned around suddenly, staring at the seriousness of the other party, he couldn't believe it and asked:

"Are you angry because of this?"

Hearing this, the girl glanced at him, then turned her head away, pretending to be harsh:

"I am not angry."

Li Cheng:......

Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile to himself, and then explained:

"She insisted on drinking. I couldn't stop her, and what I drank was water."

"Are you serious?" The girl lowered her eyes and her expression softened a bit.

"Of course it's true. She asked me to drink and I didn't even drink."

On this point, Li Cheng didn't lie.

However, he was purely worried that Xiaoyi would add spices to the wine, so he didn't drink it out of caution.

call out!
Slightly dazed, Li Cheng saw the other party throwing the ball of paper in his hand out of the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Yi turned around and walked over, pulled out his chair and sat at the dining table:
"Sorry, I was deceived by her."

Seeing the other party picking up the spoon and starting to drink the porridge one after another, Li Cheng couldn't help but ask:

"You don't have anything else to ask me?"

"No," Xiang Yi pursed his red lips and looked up at Li Cheng with a calm expression:

"That Xiao Yi should have said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.

Since you haven't left yet, what else do I have to ask? "

After saying that, she silently drank the remaining porridge in the bowl, put down the bowl, and after a long silence said slowly:
"I'm sorry, it's because I'm too greedy that I want to marry you..."

After a pause, a bit of struggle and nostalgia flashed through her peach blossom eyes, and she finally said in a deep voice:
"I'm not that kind, and I'm not worthy of your love.

Before I regret it, if you want to leave, I won't stop you.

Just think that you have met a bad woman. "

After finishing speaking, Xiang Yi deliberately did not look at the other party's expression and tried his best to put on a free and easy posture.

When the beautiful shadow disappears behind the screen,

Li Cheng, who was sitting at the table, stared blankly at the clean pottery bowl in front of him and couldn't help but reveal a bit of a wry smile.

It seemed that my guess was right.

Ever since he heard Xiao Yi's enchanting voice last night, he had felt something was wrong.

If Xiang Yizhen really wanted to hide another personality, she would never act stupidly and let Xiaoyi have the opportunity to transmit her voice with her true energy.

And last night, Xiaoyi's seemingly casual remarks further confirmed his guess:
"Xiang Yi, she has a medicine that puts her in a state of suspended animation. The medicine is only effective for a few hours.

People haven't come out before, it's because of this medicine..."

In other words,
This amounts to a showdown in disguise.

Tell Li Cheng through Xiao Yi's mouth the secret she hides.

As for the curtain with the formation engraved on it, it was probably to prevent Xiao Yi from harming him.

And at this moment,
Hiding in the room silently, Xiang Yi seemed to be waiting for his decision...

 Thank you Ge Xian for taking you flying for the big reward, thank you Bility for the big monthly ticket, readers have a happy weekend, and I would be grateful if I could read the latest chapters.
