Chapter 97: Entangled

Li Xuanye's eyes fell faintly on Zhao Xiwei's face.

Unlike last time she met, this time she had a nice look, charming eyes and tender cheeks, as tender and rosy as a crabapple after the rain, and a large shy rouge color was dyed in the water.

He stared at her condescendingly, without saying a word for a while.

Zhao Xiwei raised his head and stared at the person in front of him. His eyes that had always been calm gradually became warm and lingering, like a pool of green spring water, which was about to make people indulge in.

The remaining reason in her mind kept reminding herself that she had to leave quickly. But a raging fire broke out in her body, which made her dizzy and unstable.

This kind of battle between heaven and man is extremely painful. Even Zhao Xiwei's powerful willpower was defeated by this torment of disturbing the heart.

But her mind and nature are different from ordinary people's tenacity. Even if every pore in her body is not controlled by herself, she still stood there firmly without making any moves of transcendence.

Li Xuanye is not an ignorant boy. Seeing her expression, she already understood most of the time.

With a clang, the sword was sheathed, as if he felt that she was far more serious than he thought. He suddenly reached out and put it two inches on her neck.

The hot skin suddenly felt a cold feeling, and Zhao Xiwei felt numb all over her body, and the rouge color on her cheeks had spread to her neck.

The remaining reason made her take a step back, avoiding his fingertips, and a pair of sparkling almond eyes stared at him alertly, like a frightened young deer.

Such a moving look, Chuchu looks like she is still soft even if her heart turns around her fingers. However, Li Xuanye felt her disordered pulse with her fingers, and her voice was cold: "What have you drunk?"

"Yes... it was the wine given by the Queen Mother..." Zhao Xiwei opened his mouth and felt that his voice was much softer than before. He was gasping for a slight tremor, with a breathtaking tremolo. Even if he didn't have that teasing, it was better than thousands of styles.

The fire on her face was like a soldering iron, and the strangeness in her body became even more obvious. As if she said one more word, all the suppressed thoughts would surge out.

Li Xuanye frowned, and saw that she was still a little distracted, with only those pair of affectionate eyes staring at him motionlessly.

Li Xuanye followed her gaze and landed on his collar.

He coughed slightly, put away his collar, and then said in a deep voice: "You retreat first, and later, I will send you antidotes to you. When you recover your consciousness, I will send you back to Changxin Palace."

The tone has undeniable majesty and firmness.

Zhao Xiwei's consciousness was a little clearer, and then he remembered that the lonely man and widowed woman lived in a hot spring together. If someone broke in at this time, even if she and the prince were innocent, they would be unable to explain clearly.

Thinking about my situation again, no one would believe me if I didn’t throw myself into my arms.

Shame and embarrassment surged up. She didn't dare to say anything more, nor did she dare to take a look. She just replied in a low voice: "Yes, my daughter is up to your Highness."

Turn around and quietly retreat to the side.

"Catch her! The assassin is there!"

Suddenly a cold shout came!

Then the sound of weapons jingling, accompanied by a burst of rapid steps.

"It's so good, why did you make an assassin?" It was the Queen Mother's voice!

"Yes, the third girl from Zhao's family has not come back yet. I wonder if there will be any accident." Concubine Xian's voice rang slowly, making it difficult for people not to connect the two things.

Zhao Xiwei's whole body trembled, and a cold suddenly rose from the soles of his feet, and even the heat inside his body cooled down.

I thought kneeling outside the palace was a punishment, but now I realized that it was just a motion picture. What the empress dowager really had to do was to ruin her reputation, and at the same time, to let the prince bear the infamy of losing his virtue!

She tensed up and stood beside the pond.

In an instant, countless ways to save myself flashed through my mind, but I felt that none of them could work.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up, and then her body was hugged by someone. With a "thump", water splashed, and she was taken into the pond by Li Xuanye.

at the same time--

A group of people rushed in.

"According to the Queen Mother's order!"

The head guard held up the token and said loudly: "Assassin appears in the palace and search it at the order of the Queen Mother!"

Zhao Xiwei suddenly fell into the water, and felt his throat itchy, and a hot spring was poured in. Before he could make a sound, a slender hand covered her mouth, and his voice was low and tough: "Hold it."

Zhao Xiwei was stunned. Before he could understand what the word "完" meant, he then took his hands, hugged her waist, swept his legs, and held her tightly under him.

Zhao Xiwei knelt in the pool with his legs, his upper body tightly pressed against his chest, and his sleeves scattered, covering her shoulders.

Such a shameful posture and such close contact, not to mention that she was poisoned.

Even if she is indifferent to human affairs, she still understands what he refers to as “forbearance”.

In an instant, the sense of shame surged like the water in the pool, flooding her whole body.

The Queen Mother and her party had arrived at the entrance of the hot spring pool.

Li Xuanye sat in the pool with a calm expression, facing the guards, and his face became a little cold: "Assassin in the palace, why did he track down Gu's hot spring soup? Or did the empress dowager think Gu is an assassin?"

He said this very disrespectful, but no one dared to say anything.

The crown prince of a country is favored by the emperor. No matter how dissatisfied the empress dowager is, she cannot take the initiative to depose the prince.

The empress dowager was very unhappy with her heart, but her face was still breeze: "A eunuch saw the assassin running here, and the Ai family led someone to check it out in person. This is also for the sake of the prince's safety. If something happened, the prince would have a few shortcomings. How could the Ai family explain to the ancestors and ancestors?"

Li Xuanye smiled faintly: "Since the Empress Dowager insists on investigating, please give me some advice."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and ordered: "The pond is surrounded by trees, which is the easiest place for assassins to hide. I have carefully inspected it for the Ai family. A leaf or a stone cannot be spared, do you know?"

"yes!"

The guards scattered into the surrounding forest.

The Empress Dowager stood beside the Tangquan Pool, staring at Li Xuanye with a steady look, as if she wanted to see through his heart.

The women and concubines also followed, and all their heads drooped down and did not dare to look at them.

Mrs. Zhao was thinking about Zhao Xiwei, but she was not easy to ask someone to look for it, so she looked at the ground absent-mindedly.

Only the eldest princess looked at the Tangquan Pool with thoughtful expression on her face.

Shortly after Zhao Xiwei left the seat, she suddenly called for the assassin. She already understood that this was the situation set by the Queen Mother.
