Chapter 1975 [Shangxie] How should he deal with it?

"Leave that to your majesty!"

Lian Tang frowned and urged her,

"Don't worry about it, just follow me."

"How is he going to deal with it?"

Xia Fuyi is not a fool. The days of eating and sleeping have been enough for her to figure out some things.

For example, why did the cough of the emperor Changsun Chi in the middle of the night cause no commotion, why did the loud fighting that night not attract any palace servants, and why did she never see Changsun Chi leave the Purple Palace in the few days since she arrived - just as the storyteller had suspected a long time ago, the person who can really call the shots in the Chiwei Kingdom now is the regent Changsun Qingzhao, and the real emperor is just a puppet tied to the dragon throne.

Xia Fuyi couldn't guess the more specific situation, but everything she knew was enough for her to make a choice.

The girl looked at Lian Tang quietly and continued,

"If I'm not mistaken, his condition was already dire. And if, as you say, this secret passage is one of the palace's greatest secrets, then it must be his life-saving talisman at a critical moment. If this secret passage is exposed now in order to save me, this life-saving talisman will be completely useless."

"You are his bodyguard, so you should know this."

Lian Tang didn't seem to expect that the usually silent God of Killing who only knew how to fight would actually think so much. He was a little dazed for a moment, and then when he reacted, his eyebrows and eyes had a dejected look, and he lowered his head and muttered,

"Of course I know this, but this isn't the first time he's given up his lifeline for you..."

Xia Fuyi was stunned for a moment and asked uncertainly,

"What did you say?"

"nothing!"

Lian Tang reacted immediately and denied what he had just said, looking at her with a serious expression.

"Have you thought it through? If you don't leave now, you'll have fewer opportunities later."

Xia Fuyi was silent for a moment, but then asked another question.

"What does he need now?"

Lian Tang was stunned for a moment, seemingly not understanding what she was asking. After a moment, he thought about it and uttered two words with certainty.

"The military talisman can at least be used to save your life."

Xia Fuyi narrowed her eyes and thought for a while. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps outside the door. Lian Tang immediately shrank back alertly.

Xia Fuyi also hurried forward to tidy up the messed up bed sheets. At the same time, when the tunnel entrance was about to close, she lowered her voice and said,

"Come here at midnight. I have something to ask you."

There was no time to say more. After the tunnel closed, she immediately lay down on the bed, covered half of her face with the quilt, closed her eyes and looked like she was sleeping.

A pair of black boots with gold edges slowly walked to the bedside, and a slender hand casually lifted the layers of curtains, revealing a pair of deep eyes.

Changsun Qingzhao put one hand behind his back and looked indifferently at the girl who was sleeping in a mess on the bed. His eyes slid from her hair to her eyelashes, nose bridge and teardrop mole, and finally stopped at her tightly closed eyes.

He remained silent, even his breathing was so light that it was almost inaudible, just like his cold eyes that seemed reluctant to leave.

He stood motionless behind the curtain for a long time, until the sleeping girl turned over unconsciously and faced away from him. Then he withdrew his gaze as if he had woken up, lowered the curtain with his eyelashes, and turned around and left silently.

It was not until there was a gentle knock on the door that Xia Fuyi turned over and lay down, opening her eyes.

She was thinking about what Lian Tang muttered before he left.

"It's not the first time..."

Although she didn't know what it was referring to, she roughly understood that it must be something that the man had done for her when he was Li Chi, and he had never told her from beginning to end.
