Chitose words

At night, Xie Zhao's ears were slightly twitching with his eyes closed, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

The next moment, she sighed with disapproval and said:
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on Princess An Ning and avoid entering the palace and putting yourself in danger?"

The door was gently opened and closed, and a figure flashed in quickly and almost silently, and then quickly closed the heavy palace door.

The heavy agarwood door of Zhaohua Palace seemed to be light in the hands of the visitor, just like a light paper fan. It made almost no sound when it was opened and closed.

Ling or quickly walked into the inner hall with three steps and one step at a time.

After seeing Xie Zhao's unattractive face under the bright candlelight of the palace, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Why are you fighting with someone?"

Hasn’t she already returned with the emperor honestly?
If that's the case, why would you still use your true energy to fight against people in the palace?

Xie Zhao's eyes were as warm as before.

But Ling You had a vague feeling that "Xie Zhao" in the Nine Layers Palace seemed a little different from the heartless woman he had been seeing day and night for two years.

As for the difference, it was difficult for him to describe it accurately.

The girl "Xie Zhao" who traveled around the world was always sick and frail, but she was full of energy.

She is full of energy all day long, as if she is happy and bright every day, which makes people happy and makes life happy.

At this time, "Xie Zhao" still seemed to be exactly the same as the person in the past, but it seemed that his whole person was immersed in the bottomless sea water.

It was a kind of elusiveness that was invisible and intangible - she looked extremely calm, and it was almost difficult to detect her mood swings and changes in mood.

Whether he is happy, sad, happy or annoyed, there is nothing.

In this huge city that never sleeps, she seems to have locked away everything alive in her body, and has completely hidden all her true emotions, just like the precious ancient treasures that have been passed down in the dynasty for thousands of years.

Ling You frowned slightly.

He didn't know what Xie Zhao had experienced in the city that never sleeps in just one day.

Why was she a little colder than the woman who stood at the door of the mansion in the early morning and asked them with a gentle smile to put the common people first, protect Peng Xiao and his wife, and prevent King Yong of Western Xinjiang from causing trouble to the world.

Of course, Ling You knew that her "coldness" was not towards him, but more like a protective color she forcibly put on herself after she became cold-hearted.

So he couldn't help but ask again: "Did the emperor bully you?"

Xie Zhao burst out laughing after hearing this, and the coldness in her eyes seemed to dissipate a little.

She just smiled and shook her head, and her smile seemed to blow away the cold frost.

"No, I don't care. I'm the only one who can bully others. Who can bully me? But why are you here?"

Xie Zhao seemed to have returned to normal, and had transformed from the powerful Princess Tianchen in the deep palace to the ordinary person with flesh and blood and warmth.

Ling You said seriously: "Of course I'm here to rescue you."

Xie Zhao subconsciously smiled when she heard his childish answer. The next moment, she cast her eyes thoughtfully on the palace window and suddenly asked:
"On the palace road thirty meters away from Zhaohua Palace, someone seems to be guarding you. It is actually half a step into the void."

She paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "Did Lu Shangque follow you into the palace?"

He actually returned to the heavenly realm from the previous half-step of the void profound realm? It can be seen that Lu Shangque's martial arts talent is indeed extraordinary.

Ups and downs, only day and night.

Ling You nodded slightly.

"We are indeed surprised that 'Golden Platform' is willing to help. Although we don't know how trustworthy he is, in order to fight against the two half-step void realm old men in the palace, we have no other way."

A flash of understanding flashed in Xie Zhao's eyes, and she sighed:

"Have you gone to find Nanxu? Does he know that I am in the Nightless City?" Ling You nodded again.

Xie Zhao obviously didn't agree very much.

She said: "Nanxu's temperament seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is a bit uncontrollable. You really shouldn't go to him about this matter. He is also here in Zhaoge?"

If things get into a situation that is not conducive to the stability of the court and people's livelihood, this is not what she wants to see.

Yao remembers that last autumn, in order to persuade Nanxu not to act impulsively, she tried her best to convince Nanxu not to act impulsively. She was half-reasonable and half-threatening, and then she reluctantly persuaded Nanxu not to act impulsively.

But at that time, she thought that Emperor Jing Fu Jingyan only had some personal grudges against her over the years and was generally a good emperor, so she did not agree with Nanxu's suggestion of deposing the emperor.

But now it seems that Emperor Jing has long been dazzled by the imperial power and lost his mind.

He is no longer the virtuous young prince who devoted himself to serving the people and studied the books of sages.

Ling You paused slightly when he heard the words and replied honestly:
"The high priest has indeed come to Zhaoge, but he is not traveling with us. I don't know where the high priest is and what he is doing now."

He puzzled and said: "The high priest is the Tianchen State Master. He puts the country, the country and the country first in his heart, so he won't do anything wrong, right?"

Xie Zhao shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything in detail.

It is true that Nanxu is Tianchen's Imperial Master, but he is by no means a pedantic, ignorant, loyal, mediocre person who is dedicated to helping the Fu family.

Although the ancestral precepts of Shentai Palace cannot be violated, he is too smart and is very good at finding loopholes in the rules.

All in all, Nanxu is definitely not a layman who can be deduced based on common sense.

Ling You looked at the woman in front of him with a steady expression.

"Never mind these things, I'll take you out of here first.

Lu Shangque said that if we encounter a strong enemy, he can temporarily stop the two masters of the Half-Step Void Realm for us. With your Qinggong——"

"I can't leave yet."

Xie Zhao's eyes were warm and he interrupted him softly.

"The emperor acted rebelliously and his power grew day by day. Now because of his marriage to Queen Bai, the Minghe Bai family's attitude is also ambiguous. There are very few people in the court who can check and balance the emperor."

In fact, strictly speaking, in terms of having the power to restrain the emperor at court, Xie Huanzhang, the king of Xunyang County, could barely be considered a figure.

But Xie Zhao didn't want to drag the Xie family into this chaos unless he had to.

Hearing that the Princes of Xunyang County who had recently taken up posts in the Ministry of Rites, had actually begun to go to court, Xie Zhao knew that his uncle's behavior must be very different from before because of the matter between their siblings.

If it weren't for their brother and sister's failure, Prince Xunyang, who was afraid that Xie's power would be too conspicuous, would have kept a low profile and tried not to appear in front of others.

Therefore, if possible, Xie Zhao does not want to implicate the Xunyang Xie family, who has endured for more than ten years and has finally hidden his merit and fame, because of their junior affairs.

Ling You frowned and said, "But you"

He was about to speak but stopped for a moment, and then spoke quickly:
"You have little ability to protect yourself now. Even if you stay in the palace or know the emperor's movements and intentions, what can you do?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhao smiled.

"Who said I have little ability to protect myself? Don't you think that the mechanical bird that flew from the Wulan Mountains a few days ago really only brought back Min Xiaoyao's smelly and long 'foot-binding cloth' A letter?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Ling You's eyes.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked ecstatic the next moment!
". Could it be that he, he sent you the elixir to suppress 'Sad Flowers and Suffering Moon'?"

Xie Zhao didn't say "yes" or "no".

She just chuckled and winked at him silently.
