When saw her, there was a little complexity and hesitation.

But then he silently and lightly salutes: "Madam, Tingzhi is disturbing."

Chapter 211 The old enemy will fight

"How will you be here?"

Lu Jinxi almost couldn't believe his eyes, and stood up from his seat at once, with a look of horror on his face.

"Xue Kuang will enter the palace from Zhuozhou tomorrow, you are—"

"Madam, we secretly picked up His Highness the Seventh Prince from Zhuozhou." Seeing her so shocked, Meng Ji couldn't help but stand up and explain, "After you gave that book of Anti-Classics to His Highness, His Highness has already Shake it up, and then wait for the opportunity to get on our dark nails, so that we can come to the mansion without knowing it. At dawn tomorrow, I am afraid that there will be a tough battle to fight, and Your Highness will be safer in the Taishi mansion.”

"God doesn't know, ghost doesn't know?"

Lu Jinxi only felt that her body was a lot colder, there was an indescribable fear and concern in her eyes, and she only stared at Xiao Tingzhi.

"Meng Ji, does the eldest son know about this?"

When she heard the words "eldest son", Meng Ji also reacted. After all, she used "eldest son" to address Xiao Tingzhi before, and then realized that this time it was Gu Juefei.

So he replied, "I know."

"Yes, he actually knew..."

That strange uneasy premonition, more and more came up.

Lu Jinxi suddenly felt a little weak, and sat down again, just looking at Xiao Tingzhi, it was already complicated.

should not.

Xiao Tingzhi should not have come to the Taishi Mansion.

At such an important moment, he should have followed Xue Kuang and waited for the moment when Tianming departed from Zhuozhou. Xue Kuang is not a fool, and it is impossible not to send someone to watch Xiao Tingzhi. After all, if he really wants to come to the capital, he will definitely be optimistic about his bargaining chip.

However, Xiao Tingzhi appeared, so easily.

He raised his slightly cool fingers and pressed his forehead. Lu Jinxi couldn't understand Xue Kuang's intention for a while, and he didn't understand why Gu Juefei would so easily agree to Xiao Tingzhi's visit to the Taishi Mansion since he knew it. !

The expression on her face was not concealed, it was a little obvious.

Xiao Tingzhi saw it.

He was still wearing that dark cloak, with a dark blue brocade robe inside, a delicate and small jade pendant hanging around his waist, and his face was slightly stained with dust from the Tao. Look at her frown.

I haven't seen each other for many days.

In the past, he was still the son of a concubine Tingzhi that everyone in the General's Mansion would ridicule, but now he is the heir to the throne who can affect the overall situation of the world, the seventh prince aloof.

Only, she is the same.

The one who didn't show a little bit of joy when she saw him, and the one who didn't seem to welcome him when she looked into it carefully.

They are very different.

He didn't even know what kind of mood he was in to rush back to the capital from Zhuozhou, step into the gate of the Grand Master's mansion, which he had never stepped into before, and come to her again.

Perhaps out of the most rational and comprehensive consideration, he was afraid of Xue Kuang's wolf ambitions, and felt that Gu Juefei's faction had his teacher and was no better than Xue Kuang's side.

But maybe...

In this heart, there is still a little selfishness that even he himself does not want to admit.

because of her.

Because she is here.

Because she wants to come by herself.

Because can see her again when return to the capital.

But when he saw her again, he didn't see the slightest surprise in her eyes, only a sudden suspicion and fear.

yes.

Doubt, fear.

This made Xiao Tingzhi's repressed and deeply buried emotions surge up again, but today he has gone through a lot of world events, and he is much more familiar than before, and he can already cover up this emotion.

He stood in the hall and just smiled faintly.

"Isn't my lady welcome?"

"how come?"

Hearing this voice, Lu Jinxi suddenly had a headache, but remembering that his identity is different from the past, after all, he is the seventh prince, so he has to give face. So she put on her smile again and instructed Meng Ji who was on the side.

"The Seventh Prince's coming down to his honor will make the Grand Master's mansion flourish. Mr. Meng, since His Highness has come, please take the time to arrange a suitable residence for His Highness, so that His Highness will be protected. ."

"Yes."

Meng Jilao felt that the atmosphere between his wife and the seventh prince was a bit strange, but after listening to her instructions, he didn't have time to think deeply, and only quickly led the way for Xiao Tingzhi.

"Your Highness, please."

Xiao Tingzhi took a deep look at Lu Jinxi and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Just follow Meng Ji and leave.

Lu Jinxi stood in the flower hall and watched, only to see his slightly swaying figure, walking through the light and shadow of the lanterns in the corridor, slowly disappearing.

But she didn't go back to the room.

Just sitting in this flower hall and waiting.

When the ugly bangzi just knocked, there were footsteps outside, and it was Gu Juefei who came back.

As he walked into the hall, he threw the cloak he was wearing outside to the entourage beside him, frowning tightly.

But when he walked in the door and saw Lu Jinxi, he laughed.

"It's so late, why don't you go to bed and wait for me here?"

"I was going to sleep, but just now Meng Ji brought Xiao Tingzhi." Lu Jinxi sat on the delicately carved rose chair and looked up at him quietly, but the fingers pressing on the armrest could not help but withdraw. Tension, "What are your plans, and what are Xue Kuang's plans?"

"He's the opposite."

Gu Juefei's eyes flashed, but he sighed, and there was a bit of surprise in his tone, and then he caught Lu Jinxi's eyes and added another sentence.

"This time it's really the opposite."

real?

What is "really"?

Lu Jinxi was dazed by these two words that didn't touch the sky or the ground. He was about to ask for a clearer question, but when he thought of Xiao Tingzhi, he suddenly jolted: "What do you mean—"

"Tomorrow is a tough battle."

Gu Juefei knew that she wanted to understand, so she didn't explain much. Seeing how she waited in this flower hall for a long time, she only stretched out her hand to hold her hand, and felt a cool feeling at once.

"You too. In the early spring, when it's warm and cold, even if you want to wait for me, you should go back to the house and wait."

He blamed his mouth, but his heart was soft and slightly sweet, and regardless of the expression on her face, he just pulled her up from the seat, accompanied him, and walked along the corridor into the house.

Dao Zhong, Zi also explained the latest situation clearly.

"Today, we have set up defenses at all the gates of the capital, and even the palace is full of murderous intentions. Liu Jin is guarding the west of the city, and Fang Shaoxing is responsible for the deployment of the main roads in the capital and the transfer of the guards in the palace. I am a civil servant, Zuo is only one or two advisors for them. But tomorrow morning, we have to check everywhere to avoid any omissions. If there are no accidents, there should be results in these two days.”

This is really going to be a tough fight with Xue Kuang.

Lu Jinxi was walking on the road, listening to him detailing these trivial matters, only what he said just now was "really reversed".

So when he finished speaking, she only said: "I thought I had understood Xue Kuang. But Xiao Tingzhi easily arrived at the Grand Master's Mansion, and you told me that this time he really did the opposite. I can't understand more and more what he is thinking and what he wants..."
