Chapter 68 Well, in

Wei Xingzhen suddenly felt that his heartbeat seemed to be faster than usual.

He wanted to look down at Feng Yan's expression in his arms, but he always turned his eyes forward, and he was reserved not to look at her.

He listened to Feng Yan's breathing as if he was sighing, feeling the ups and downs of his body brought by her breath...

Even if he didn't go to see her, he could still see her.

Wei Xingzhen suddenly felt a little sad.

No matter how slowly he walked, the lights of Taichu Palace in the distance had already entered his vision.

Before he could have the idea of ​​hope that this road would never end, the end points were already far away.

"Mr. Wei, you can let go now." Feng Yan reminded softly.

Wei Xingzhen carefully placed Feng Yan on the ground.

The palace servants who had been carrying lanterns for them quickly ran up the eighty-one steps outside the Taichu Palace. The two of them quietly waited for Sun Youwei's communication in the night wind outside the hall.

Feng Yan turned her back to tidy up her clothes and hair, but she avoided Wei Xingzhen's gaze more.

Her face was indeed getting hot.

...

It was late at night and Feng Xiaoqi couldn't sleep at all.

She has not gone to the Imperial College for the past two days. Even if the autumn examination of the Ping Yao Office this year will be in half a month, she is completely unwilling to prepare.

Yesterday evening, after news came from the Wei Mansion, my father and mother rushed out, so they didn't tell her about the accident with her sister. In the end, they heard some second-hand news from Huai Qing at night.

Feng Xiaoqi was worried and frightened, thinking that it was because of her poor voice that implicated Feng Yan at this point. Finally, she could not wait until dawn, and she ran to the Wei Mansion to visit her sister, but was turned away.

My mother came into the Buddhist temple since she came back last night and didn't come out all day - it can be seen that there was no way out.

A knock on the door suddenly came from outside.

"who?"

"Me." Feng Yishu's voice came, "I guess you didn't sleep. Open the door, there is good news."

Feng Xiaoqi ran to open the door, "Is there news from my sister?"

Feng Yishu's face also looked a little haggard. He forced a smile, "I'm fine, I've woken up, I just entered the palace... Don't blame yourself."

Feng Xiaoqi was stunned there, but she could no longer hold back her tears.

The two entered the room and sat down to talk.

Feng Xiaoqi was even more swallowed, and when he opened his mouth, he was like a rooster crowing, and he burped with one sentence.

At the end of the talk, Feng Xiaoqi simply stopped talking and sat there alone and cried for a while.

Feng Yishu didn't know how to persuade him, so he sat next to his sister without saying a word.

When Feng Xiaoqi recovered, she whispered, "Where did the news from Brother Fifth come from? Is it reliable?"

"It's from the Wei Mansion." Feng Yishu looked unhappy, "I said I went to the palace to plead for Cen Lingju... How about your neck?"

"Minor injury."

"I'll take a look."

Feng Xiaoqi raised her head a little, and she cared about the wound, and did not dare to lift it too hard - she saw three deep red scabs from behind her ears to front of her neck,

"This Cen Lingju has two dog paws, and she is scratching so hard!" Feng Yishu's voice suddenly rose, "That is, Wei Xingzhen will not let you enter the mansion this morning. If Sister sees you being scratched like this by her, she will go to the palace tonight to sue the emperor!"

Feng Xiaoqi burst out laughing, and she wiped her tears, "Sister won't be so arrogant."

"You are still talking to my sister? No, I can't figure it out. No matter what Cen Lingju did, it's always a sure thing for my sister to be injured by her? Now that she is being locked up in Dali Temple, my sister is going to plead for her. What's the reason?"

Feng Xiaoqi sniffed and said softly, "Sister, I really told me this before."

Feng Yishu was suspicious, "…what?"

"It was three years ago, I just came - not long after I woke up, and when the Imperial College was having a quarrel with her again, my sister told me not to have any head-on conflicts with this person."

"Why?" Feng Yishu stood up in anger, "Are we still afraid of her?"

"Not afraid," Feng Xiaoqi said softly, "It's Cen Lingju, who is alone, and has the relationship between the three families."

"What's the meaning?"

"Let me talk about the Tian family first. Among all the descendants of the royal family, Cen Lingju is the one who is most loved by His Majesty. Even though she was a foreign family member after her father's surname, His Majesty still gave her the title of the county monarch, which shows her importance and love.

"There is the eldest princess's mansion. Her mother died shortly after she was born. The eldest princess also loved her granddaughter for this reason. She brought her from the Cen Mansion to raise her since she was a child. Over the years, she has been in the eldest princess' mansion for longer than in the Cen family.

"Then it is her father's family, the Cen family. Although the Cen family is getting worse now, in the past twenty years, apart from marrying the eldest princess' daughter, there has been no more splashes.

"But the centipede worm dies without being stiff. Since Cen Lingju has won the favor of His Majesty, this favor will benefit the other branches. Not to mention her father and a few brothers, even her uncles and cousins ​​have ascended to heaven and received a good mission from His Majesty.

"When a conflict with such a person is too big, the Tian family will not tolerate you, and when the trouble is too small, the Cen family will come to disgust you." Feng Xiaoqi said softly, "So the gain is not worth the loss."

"Then let others bully this way?"

"It's not that you can bully me," Feng Xiaoqi grabbed Feng Yishu's sleeve, "Sit down first? I can't remember what my sister said at that time - but in short, she taught me that she sat with Cen Lingju in front of Lord Jijiu and all the other classmates.

"Although she is naughty, she still has a little bit of arrogance. If she tied the beam on the surface, she would no longer make any moves in the dark.

"As for today's incident, what happened to Cen Lingju now is the Cen family. I don't know which young man dared to copy Cen Lingju into Dali Temple, but in this way, it was a coincidence."

"How can I do it right?"

"The Feng family and the Cen family are both prominent families. If they really get upset because of this matter, it will not be just the grudge between Sister and Cen Lingju." Feng Xiaoqi whispered, "Your Majesty changed his usual partiality in this matter, and gave us and Sister enough face, but this kind of face needs to be rewarded."

"Since my sister and I are not seriously injured, the best ending is that she takes the initiative to clear the grievances of Cen Lingju, and then the two families will rebuild the old."

Feng Xiaoqi looked at his brother, "Sister dragged on for one more night, so that Cen Lingju would suffer more nights in the prison of Dali Temple, and there would be more trouble in the future - although I'm not sure, I think that's what Sister thought."

Feng Xiaoqi didn't say something, but she already vaguely felt that the relationship between her sister and the emperor Sun Youwei over the years had become as solid as a rock in the subtle advance and retreat.

Feng Yishu might have understood, maybe not. He still sat there with an angry face, then took out a small jar from his sleeve, "I took the medicine for you from the master. If you apply this, you won't leave any scars."

"Thank you," Feng Xiaoqi smiled bitterly, "but it's better to stay."
