On the carriage driving towards the imperial city, Qi Xiao quietly stared at Feng Xi.
With bright eyes and white teeth, and smooth snowy skin, when he blinks his eyes to look at people, he looks like a little fox with white fur and snow.
Qi Xiao had always known that Feng Xi was good-looking.
Even if the Feng Xi before her had the same bewildering face, her demeanor and energy were completely different.
They were all willful and reckless, but the one in front of him was even more outrageous than the former in addition to being vicious. When he asked her if she was Feng Xi, she dared to answer him ambiguously.
However, he had carefully observed the other person, especially the other person's face, and all the details on Feng Xi that he had noticed before.
Although he couldn't get very close, he could touch the other person's face with his own hands. With his ability, he could still tell that there was no trace of disguise on this face.
Of course, it may also be that the other party's disguise skills are too advanced, far beyond what he has learned so far.
But what about height?
What about the size of his wrists and ankles, and the small mole that occasionally showed up on his sleeves when he was whipped and humiliated in the past?
In the past two years, he has been able to observe too much.
Comparing these details with Feng Xi today, he found that nothing had changed...
Nothing has changed except her personality.
Therefore, no matter how she escapes, slaves like Tianxi will not speculate, and outsiders have no time to think deeply. After all, most people in the Tian family are moody.
When they thought about this, they probably all thought the same as Qin Zhui, that they had suffered too much, grown up, or finally went crazy...
Leaning against the carriage with complicated eyes, Qi Xiao felt that he probably already had the answer.
"Why do you have to drag me with you?"
Looking directly at Feng Xi, he asked indifferently.
Just now, Feng Xi, who had clearly rejected Eunuch Zhao's absurd idea, still captured him.
"Because when I think that you are enjoying the good things at home and drinking spicy food, but I have to go to the palace to suffer, I feel a little bit at a loss."
Qi Xiao: "..."
Okay, he shouldn't have asked.
But he had already asked, but Shi Chengru Feng Xi felt that she should say more.
"Although I can't be rich and powerful with you, I can suffer with you."
Qi Xiao: "..."
"Qi Xiao, do you know what you look like now?"
Qi Xiao didn't know and didn't want to know, but Feng Xi still smiled and said:
"A Siberian giant cat that was so angry that it wanted to scratch the wall but couldn't."
Qi Xiao: "..."
He didn't know where Siberia was, but the big cat might be a tiger.
So, is this a compliment to him?
Qi Xiao felt like he was crazy when he thought about it like this.
Feng Xi was angry.
The royal carriage entered the imperial city with great force. Feng Xi lay on the carriage window, and all she could see were red walls, green tiles, white jade and ivory.
There was nothing to say about the grandeur, but to Feng Xi, who had seen high-rise buildings before the apocalypse and experienced various horrific scenes after the apocalypse, there was nothing shocking or awe-inspiring.
At most, I was curious, so I took a second look.
As for Qi Xiao's obvious behavior of observing her recently, she didn't bother to stop it. She didn't care at all.
The palace has a palace system, so the carriage cannot be used when it reaches the outskirts of the palace complex. The original owner made frequent mistakes and was removed from the ceremonial guard, so Feng Xi and Qi Xiao could only follow Zhao Xi on foot.
Although there were many palace people passing by to pay homage along the way, it could be seen from the fear and contempt in these people's eyes that the original owner was really unpopular.
And Feng Xi looked through her memory. Good guy, although there were not many killings, there were quite a few scenes of torture.
Looking further, well, it was all the result of the concubine surnamed Fang's habit, not only not punishing her but also indirectly approving her.
This deep palace compound is indeed not a place where a fool should stay.
"Princess, the emperor is still discussing matters with several courtiers. You and the consort are waiting in the side hall of the royal study. As soon as the emperor comes out, the old slave will come to report."
As the chief eunuch of Emperor Shengde's side, Zhao Xi was respectful and polite all the way. In addition to his age, he seemed a bit kind.
He has been accompanying Emperor Shengde since he was a child. It is not an exaggeration to say that he watched Emperor Shengde and Feng Xi grow up.
So Feng Xi didn't embarrass him and nodded to express her understanding.
Even when Zhao Xi winked at Tianxi and asked him to follow him out, she had no intention of intervening.
However, Qi Xiao picked up the tea cup on the table and said casually:
"Tianxi was once the godson of Eunuch Zhao. I heard that Eunuch Zhao gave him this name."
As a result, Feng Xi said:
"Fortunately, he is not his biological son, otherwise he would have been a eunuch. Eunuch Zhao would be so sad."
Qi Xiao: "?"
Is this really the point?
"What I mean is that Tianxi beside you is actually half an emperor."
Although the other party basically does not inquire about any information, his role is mostly to take care of and accompany him...
Feng Xi nodded and said with a dispensable "oh":
"So what? You are still a member of this palace."
Qi Xiao shook his head. Although he didn't know what the connection between the two sentences was, he was still amused by Feng Xi's indifferent attitude.
However, the journey for the two of them came smoothly, but the waiting process was very long.
In the imperial study room, it is inevitable that there will be endless discussions, especially if they are important matters.
Feng Xi acted like she didn't know anything and just wanted to lie down and sleep on the spot, but Qi Xiao asked a few more questions when Zhao Xilai came to comfort them.
"The news that came today is that there was a snowstorm in the north. Many houses collapsed, and many people and crops were frozen to death. Now the emperor and the adults are discussing who to send to the north. It’s disaster relief.”
Jozhao has a vast territory, and major and minor disasters are not uncommon. The snow disaster in the north happens every few years.
There was no need for Zhao Xi to hide something like this that was not a secret.
In particular, he also knew that the Prince Consort's family had been stationed at Hanyuguan for many years, and Hanyuguan was the far north of Dazhao.
Naturally, Hanyuguan won't be able to survive the disaster in the north.
Sure enough, Qi Xiao frowned immediately after hearing this and didn't speak for a long time.
However, Feng Xi knew that the actor was acting again.
Is it possible that the male protagonist Long Aotian doesn't know this information that can be told from the mouth of the palm print eunuch?
Not only did he know, the book also described in detail how he judged in advance that this year's snowstorm would be serious and the situation between the DPRK and China was unstable, so he arranged his men in advance to send life-saving things to Hanyuguan, and once again won the hearts of Hanyuguan soldiers.
The 150,000 troops at Hanyuguan were brought out by Qi Commander Qi Yuanming. Even if more than half of them were lost, the veterans would still support Qi Xiao.
A living sign, a solid one.
But it is undeniable that Qi Xiao's timely help indeed saved many people's lives.
In comparison, the two Tian brothers fighting to the death were a bit disgusting.
No, there was a sound coming from outside the Imperial Study Room soon. From what Zhao Xi called him, it was Crown Prince Feng Jing and Concubine Fang Guifei and Concubine Chu Shu, the mothers of the fourth prince Feng Yu.
