Since returning to Luoyang from the underground palace, two days have passed, and Gao Chen has also fallen asleep in a daze for two days.

This is not because she has been unconscious because of her injuries, but because she ......

Finally, when there was no one to take care of the room, I hurriedly slipped off the bed, moved to the side of the table with pastries and tea, and after making sure that no one came in, I began to gobble up pastries with tea and water, so as to fill my stomach, no way, pretending to be sick or something is so tormenting, this is also my own doing!

It's not that I deliberately deceived Sister Ah and Jue, I was really angry that time in the underground palace, and I didn't eat well for a few days, so that my stomach was uncomfortable, and I was so angry that I vomited blood on the spot, but the condition was not so serious, and now I have no choice but to pretend that I can't afford it, and it's just a delaying tactic to delay the army for the time being.

Because I'm worried that my sister will ask me directly, and I can't lie to her once she asks......

While thinking about eating pastries, he was also a little anxious, and the person almost choked, so he hurriedly poured himself another glass of water and swallowed it in one gulp.

Hey, this time it's really a big deal!

I sighed, lest I cough, and as I stretched out my hand to smooth myself, I realized that the few things I had with me were not far away along with my robe.

Stretched out his hand to open the leather pouch tied to the belt, and after groping for a while, he touched the "desperate" that Jue gave me, and when I saw this elixir again, my mind became complicated.

Jue said that this "desperate life" is highly poisonous, and after taking it, I will definitely die, if I eat this thing, no matter how blessed I am, I should be dead!

I suddenly had an evil thought, if I didn't die after taking this medicine, then I really could be regarded as a real blessing and a great life!

Just when I was stunned when I looked at the pill in my hand, I suddenly heard movement outside the house, I'm afraid someone is going to come in?!

I put the pill back in a little panic, got up and wanted to run to the bed to continue pretending to sleep, but for a while the pill in my hand had nowhere to put it, and when I saw the teapot on the table, I threw the pill into it, and hurriedly lay back on the bed, and did not forget to wipe the pastry crumbs from the corner of my mouth......

Sure enough, not long after, the door was pushed open, and listening to the light and steady footsteps, I knew that it was Jue and not Sister A, and I was slightly relieved.

I felt Jue slowly sit beside me, reaching out to caress my forehead, taking care of me, trying to resist the urge to laugh, for all the pretense was in vain in her pretenses.

I think she would have known that I was faking my illness, otherwise she wouldn't have bothered to prepare those pastries and tea for me.

Suddenly I felt that my behavior was too childish, and I wanted to laugh, plus I was in too much of a hurry to eat, so I couldn't help coughing.

broke the gong in an instant, and suddenly the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and I felt that I couldn't pretend this time......

I slowly opened my eyes, with a weak look on my face, pretending to be tired after recovering from a serious illness, and said a word weakly.

"Water...... I thought, drink water. ”

Seeing that I woke up, Jue's face was also calm, even if she could thwart the scam in front of her, she still chose to tacitly accept it, after all, she prepared pastries and food for the enemy in front of her, which was also indirectly conniving at the enemy's act of pretending to be sick.

"Okay, lie down, I'll pour you a glass of water. ”

Not only was she not angry, but she was also gentle and virtuous, and she took care of her wholeheartedly, which actually touched me so much that I was a little carried away......

After refilling the glass of water from the table, Jue walked back to my bedside, helped me to my feet, and slowly fed me the water.

Being treated so gently by Jue made me feel guilty at this moment, and I felt that if I didn't confess to Jue honestly, I might be able to get her leniency.

But at this moment, Jue suddenly blurted out a sentence that made my face turn pale in an instant......

"Eh, why does this tea smell of 'death'?"

"What, desperate?!"

I sat up suddenly, and I looked like a seriously ill person, staring at Jue with a stunned look on my face for a long time.

Jue looked back at me with a simple and harmless face, an incredible look, blinked, and asked suspiciously:

"Why is there a 'desperate life' in this tea, oops, you, you just drank this cup of water, how is this good, desperate, poisonous, no solution, quickly spit it out......"

There was also a frightened look on his face as he spoke, and he immediately scared me out of my mind!

When I thought that I was going to die at a young age, I suddenly felt jealous of the talent, and this hatred was indefinite.

Suddenly, I felt a tumbling in my stomach, and I lay on the edge of the bed, and I wanted to vomit all the contents of my stomach.

Just when I was so frightened that I coughed violently, ready to empty my stomach desperately to relieve the toxicity, the people next to me looked at me so panicked, and finally couldn't help laughing.

Poof.

This time I knew, I was thoroughly teased by Jue again.

What she gave me was not a "desperate life" at all, in fact, I already had doubts in my heart, because Jue would never have put the highly poisonous thing in my hands anyway, even if our situation at that time really reached such a desperate situation, she would only try to let me live......

I had a bitter face and a deep hatred, unwillingly slapping on the side of the bed, but I couldn't have a seizure because I was at fault, but I was more fortunate than that, glad that this was not a real 'desperate', and glad that I was still alive this time......

It feels so good to be alive!

"I said, how can anyone be so stupid as to throw the pill directly into the teapot? If this is really 'desperate', even if you really have nine lives, I'm afraid it won't be enough. ”

She smiled a little heartlessly, but I could hear all the embarrassments I had when I was stealing food, and she immediately wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury herself in it.

Whining......

I fell back on the bed in frustration and buried my face in the futon and didn't dare to look at Jue's face anymore.

Seeing that I was quite depressed, she couldn't bear to tease me anymore, so she straightened up, pulled the futon, and asked:

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you, when are you going to pretend to be asleep?"

I know that I can't fool these little tricks of my own, but I can imagine that I can't fool Sister A, not to mention how smart and wise the two of them are, plus they are all masters of Xinglin, and they know it clearly if they are seriously ill.

And Jue also knew that I was hiding and didn't dare to see my sister, so she let me go and didn't say anything about it.

"Sister...... What about her?"

I cautiously asked.

Seeing that I was afraid that my sister would be afraid of such a situation, I was also a little helpless.

"Sister, she still has important things to deal with, and she said that she would come to see you in a few days, and she has already left. ”

Hearing this, I slowly poked my head out of the futon and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it would be good to be able to drag on for a few days.

"That's good. ”

Although he said this, he felt an irrepressible sense of guilt in his heart.

"Don't you really want to tell the truth to my sister?"

Jue thinks that Sister A is still a very reasonable person, and she also has great respect for her life.

"I can't tell the truth, at least ......not yet."

I'm worried that if Sister A really knows the reason for this, I'm afraid that if I'm as strong as her, I can't easily accept it, and if Sister Ah is hurt because of this, I can't easily forgive myself!

Jue sighed a little helplessly.

"You said that you were afraid of death, I didn't believe it at first, but now, I believe it......"

In the face of Jue's sarcasm, I can't resist at all, who makes me want to pretend to be sick to hide from the world?

I pouted and replied unwillingly.

"I'm greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Then you still dare to throw 'Death' into the teapot?"

Jue still felt a little strange about my behavior, and it didn't seem like my behavior was self-defeating and didn't want to live, but it was a little bit like trying to test something.

Could it be that this enemy wants to test whether he is really hard-fated and can't die?

"That's not a 'desperate life' at all!"

I sat up straight and looked back at Jue with a bit of puff wrapped in the futon to express my displeasure that she had lied to me, even though it was my fault in the first place.

Jue was not angry, looking at my angry appearance, he just gave me four words lightly.

"Childish. ”

Well, I'm just childish!

"That's right, I just want to see if I'm really so blessed and fatal, why can't I die?! Now I'm sure that the reason why I can save the day every time I'm in danger is not only because of that bit of luck, but most importantly, there are many people who don't want me to die!"

Jue finally understood the reason why I had been depressed and unable to let go of my feelings for the past few days.

Jue frowned and said:

"So, you come to the conclusion that ......"

"I'm a very important pawn in someone else's hands!"

Because I still have value, I can have such good luck, I can overcome difficulties and obstacles again and again, and my value is constantly deepening because of these, and this is the most important thing that this has taught me!

Who is this person referring to?

His mind was deep, and he vaguely realized that what this enemy said might mean something else.

"Haven't you already known about this kind of thing since you entered the game?"

Jue was not surprised by my words, because in life, everyone is just a pawn in the hands of fate, let alone people like us who are close to the center of power and are swept up in the torrent of power desires and cannot control their own destiny?

I know I'm right, but I'm just not at ease......

Buried his head in the quilt and lay back on the bed, I was unwilling to beat, gritted my teeth and muttered:

"I know, but I'm just unwilling, I'm unwilling......"

This time I lost so completely, I really understand that I am a chess piece in the hands of others who can be manipulated at will, I am resentful, and unwilling, if I were still the Gao Chen who had nothing three years ago, maybe I wouldn't have such a big feeling, but now I'm different, I have someone I want to protect, if I can't even control my own life, how can I protect the person I want to protect?!

Feeling my resentment and unwillingness, Jue pulled open the futon on my body, pulled me over and pressed me directly under me, clasped my hands on the top of my head, and she looked down at me condescendingly, taking in all my expressions and actions.

"Then in whose hands are you holding a chess piece?"

Jue's tone was full of the might and domineering of the commander of the first army, and even his eyes were a little frightening.

The person who asked me this sentence now is the commander of the Yanyun Dragon Cavalry Guard-Xiao Jue!

She knows everything I say, so I can't deceive her, and she can't tolerate deception at this moment.

"That may be a thing called 'fate', a fate that is difficult for the people of the Xuanyuan Ye family to escape, I haven't been able to escape, Sister, and I don't have ......"

I smiled bitterly twice, and looked at Jue's eyes and felt a little more affectionate, because I knew that even if everything around me was false, only her affection was real, heartwarming, and it was also the real reason why I was so reluctant.

"Jue, do you know, there is such a chess piece in a game that is carefully arranged for people, this is a chess piece that they have carefully cultivated with all their efforts, and every step that this chess piece takes is in their plan, originally this plan is perfect, so perfect that this chess piece has never known that it is just a chess piece in the hands of others, they watched this chess piece step by step closer and closer to the center of power, but their biggest miscalculation is that as the most important chess piece carefully cultivated in their hands, they have the feelings and luxuries of people who should not have, because it has a relationship for a woman that should not be there, so the chess piece began to want to break free from their control, and they began to find that the chess piece was gradually about to break out of their control, and they panicked......"

"Enough, don't say any more!"

Jue interrupted me excitedly, as she had already gotten the answer she wanted to know.

They are a group of people who control a game of chess called "Tianxia", and if they want everyone to become a pawn in this game, they are also some people who claim to be gods, and in the name of the common people in the world, they play with everything, turn their hands into clouds, and turn their hands into rain;

She hurriedly stroked my face and made me meet her gaze, and her eyes were full of concern.

"Now this chess piece must learn to forbear, because its current strength is not strong enough, no matter how unwilling and resentful, it can only choose forbearance now, do you understand?"

Thinking of my difficult journey, thinking of my sister's suffering, and thinking of the people I care about being held hostage because of me, my emotions have lost control for a moment, and I want to break free but I am suppressed by Jue to death.

I only felt powerless, but extreme unwillingness and resentment occupied my thoughts, and I shook my head with great excitement and said:

"I can't bear ......"

Before the words could be spoken, he was sealed by a kiss......

This kiss was domineering and passionate, and it didn't even allow me to have a chance to slack off and breathe, I only felt that all the strength of my body was melted by this long kiss, and my consciousness began to gradually withdraw.

"No matter whose hand that chess piece is in control, I will take it away, and the long knife will not spin it! You remember, you are my person, and you can only be my person forever!"

If my life is just a mirror carefully designed by others, then Wan'er is the biggest variable in this, it is her appearance that makes me begin to have the idea of not surrendering to fate, and it is because of her that I have the power to change everything!

In the end, I may still not be able to defeat that terrible opponent who controls my life like a god, because I am the best work he has ever made, but even so, in this game, all I want to do is to do my best to defeat him, as long as I have one, with this son, I want him to know that even as a pawn, there will be times when I will resist the gods!

Holding her tight, I made a solemn promise in her ear.

"Yes, I'm your man, and always will be!"
