On such a night, she didn't sleep and was still drinking here. She wasn't worried about the mountains and rivers in this big summer, nor was she worried about the soldiers fighting all over the city. She was just... worried about Gu Juefei.

The man who was regarded as a strong enemy by Xue Kuang, the man who forced her to marry her in the Golden Palace.

He knew that this was not just heartache and hatred, but also a kind of jealousy that made him burn and suffer. This kind of emotion drove him, making him approach her at such an extremely delicate and extremely drunken moment.

Every minute you get closer, your heart beats faster.

In the past twenty-two years of his repressed and forbearing life, he had never had such a wonderful and intense experience, secret sweetness and dangerous tension.

For Lu Jinxi, it was the temptation that he could see from far and near, but couldn't pick it up no matter what, making him suffer from the pain of being tormented by the youthful thoughts... It was finally near.

Xiao Tingzhi bent his head and approached him, his slightly trembling lips gently pressed against his soft, wine-stained lips.

At this moment, he felt himself drunk too.

But in the next moment, the eyes that were suddenly opened and the projected gaze, like a white shadow on a sword, woke him up... She didn't fall asleep.

So all the thoughts of those invisible people he wanted to hide were spread out in front of her defenselessly, putting him in a kind of embarrassing dilemma.

However, after the predicament was over, it was a sudden impulse that made him unable to stop himself.

He grabbed her hand and stared at her with that kind of forbearance and eagerness. On such a night that could be called "arrogance", he declared the feelings that were destined to be unacceptable - "Lu Jinxi, I like you."

At the moment when the voice fell, Xiao Tingzhi even felt an unprecedented joy, as if he could finally face up to all his thoughts and desires, so he also gained a great courage.

This kind of courage made him say more.

"I know you don't care about me, but you married Xue Kuang first, then Gu Juefei, first the general of the dynasty, and then the great scholar of the dynasty! What you want is not Glory and wealth? Why can't you consider me? If they can give it, I can give it too! If you want to be a queen someday—"

"Snapped!"

A cold slap landed on his face, interrupting all the inappropriate and unpleasant words he was about to say below.

Xiao Tingzhi covered his face and looked at her.

Lu Jinxi looked back calmly, got up from the seat, and before turning to leave, she just reminded indifferently: "Do you know that with a single word from me now, I can make you die?"

Chapter 213 The Finale (Part 2)

Lu Jinxi didn't know whether Xiao Tingzhi fell asleep that night. Anyway, she went back to her room. After washing up, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep with the pillow on her head.

It was noon the next morning.

The streets all over the capital are strangely absent from the previous noises, and even the sound of throwing stones outside the city gate has disappeared.

She always felt that such a situation was really unusual, so she only sent someone to climb up the courtyard wall quietly to see what was going on outside. But there was only chaos in the streets, blood was occasionally seen, and even a soldier could not be seen.

The old housekeeper Wan Bao often stayed in the house and didn't leave.

Since Gu Chengqian left, he also looks more and more old-fashioned. For him, the Grand Master's Mansion was his home, and as he got older, his life and death would be taken lightly, and he didn't care about what happened in the city.

He didn't sleep last night either.

When the guards in the mansion went to investigate and report back, he listened by the side and interjected: "Last night, there was a lot of noise outside, one after another, it seems that three waves of people went in the direction of the palace. It wasn't until this early morning that it became quiet."

Some headaches after a hangover.

Lu Jinxi held the wind chimes in her hands and cooked the hot soup. When she heard this, she only looked up at Wan Baochang: "Three waves of people?"

In this city, Xue Kuang and Gu Juefei are two factions. Where did the three waves come from?

She was horrified for a while, and almost knocked over the soup bowl in her hand.

For a while, didn't know what direction to guess: Is it an ordinary mobilization of troops, calculating each other, or is there really a third wave of people involved?

Today's sky is drowsy.

It looked like it was going to rain again.

Lu Jinxi suddenly felt nauseated, and the hot soup she had just drank seemed to have turned into greasy grease amid the sudden tension and anxiety, which made her have the urge to vomit.

But she forcibly suppressed the urge.

At this time, even though she was already the mistress of the mansion, she would not let others worry about her own risk.

His face was slightly cold, and he only commanded: "Tell the people below, I'm afraid it will only take a day or two, so be sure to cheer up and continue to pay attention to the news outside."

"Yes!"

The guard took the order and retreated.

Feng Chi saw that Lu Jinxi's face was a little pale, but she was a little worried: "You haven't slept well these days. You drank wine last night and the wind was blowing. You should go back to the room and sleep for a while."

"No, I can't sleep."

Not only could he not fall asleep, but he couldn't even read a page or a word.

Lu Jinxi waved his hand, indicating that the wind chimes should not be concerned about himself, but got up and stood under the porch outside, looking at the gloomy sky.

Wait, it's another afternoon.

After nightfall, Lu Jinxi thought she couldn't fall asleep, but she still fell asleep, the kind who fell asleep peacefully with her head on the pillow.

Until a shocking explosion in the middle of the night woke her up.

"Boom" came from the direction of the Southeast Palace!

Not only Lu Jinxi, but inside and outside the Grand Master's mansion, all those who were asleep and those who were not asleep were disturbed, and their silhouettes flickered for a while.

Lu Jinxi got up in her clothes and stood in the courtyard to take a look—

In this dark and miserable night, the sky in the southeast actually revealed a dark red light, as if it was dizzy by the dumped dye, and it burned into a thrilling color.

She heard someone shouting: "It's burning, it's burning in the palace!"

My heart was suddenly in chaos, and as soon as lifted footsteps, almost subconsciously walked towards the door of the mansion.

The servants and guards in the mansion gathered here when they heard the movement. Seeing her like this, they hurriedly called someone to stop her.

The wind chimes were about to cry.

She grabbed Lu Jinxi's sleeves tightly with both hands, and shouted tremblingly, "Madam, you can't go. Both adults and Mr. Meng have explained it, and unless the outcome is known, the house will never be opened. .You calm down, everything will be fine, adults, they will be fine."

No matter how much Lu Jinxi wanted to rush out to see what was going on, there were so many people who were holding her on guard, and she couldn't get out.

She stood still for a while, and finally gave up.

Without saying a word, he stopped and was surrounded by him and went back to the house to sit.

But in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep anyway.

All the people in the Grand Master's Mansion were worried.

At this time, the difference between the master and the servant also disappeared in the apprehension and fear of the final result. Everyone was standing or sitting, waiting inside and outside.

Xiao Tingzhi also walked in at some point, but only sat down in the corner and did not speak.

Lu Jinxi glanced at him and looked away.

The crowd just waited for the middle of the night.

At the beginning of Yin Shi, a voice suddenly came from outside, and then a guard who had been quietly watching the situation outside hurriedly reported: "There is a group of people here!"
