In the dark of night, the lights in the Pavilion had been extinguished, and all the maids had fallen asleep. From time to time, there was a slight snoring.

Ji Rui, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. She didn't get out of bed, but stared blankly at the ceiling with a glimmer of light.

"What should I do?" This question filled Ji Rui's mind.

She thought more than once about agreeing to cooperate with Tong Xi. It's just that she really doesn't want to betray Tong Huan. Although she was bent on being in the City Lord's Mansion and had great power. But it can't be said that she doesn't love Tong Huan in her heart. It is precisely because of this that she does not want to betray Tong Huan.

"I'm sorry, young master." In the end, Ji Rui's thirst for power defeated her love for Tong Huan. Betrayal is inevitable.

As Ji Rui made up her mind, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes and eventually dripped onto the pillow.

Ji Rui closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep in helplessness, reluctance, pain and anticipation.

…………

As the sun sets, so does the afterglow. Qinggui City ushered in its dark night again.

It has been three days since Tong Xi and Ji Rui discussed cooperation, and today is the day when Ji Rui finally replied to Tong Xi.

"Miss Ji Rui, how are you thinking about it?" In a remote corner, Tong Xi asked confidently.

Ji Rui raised her head and looked at Tong Xi, then lowered her head and said slowly, "I promise to cooperate with you." Ji Rui was in turmoil at the moment, she finally betrayed Tong Huan.

"Haha, I knew that Miss Ji Rui would not let me down." Tong Xi walked over with a smile and picked up Ji Rui.

Ji Rui didn't struggle, just buried her head deep in Tong Xi's chest.

Tong Xi hugged Ji Rui and evaded the guards in the palace and returned to his room.

Then, there was a muffled gasp and moaning in the room......

…………

The sky had completely darkened, and a slender crescent moon had hung flickering in the sky.

Tong Xi lay on her back on the bed, Ji Rui was tightly held in his arms, she curled up, like an injured kitten, in need of the owner's care. A quilt covered her body, but it only covered the lower half of her body, revealing her pink back.

Tong Xi stroked the soft skin on Ji Rui's back, her eyes full of pride and dissatisfaction. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't do it anymore, he really wanted to do it again. And now, he can only caress the tenderness of his palms to soothe the helplessness in his heart.

Feeling the scrub on her back, Ji Rui calmed the pain of betrayal in her heart, and at the same time endured the tears that could slip at any time.

"What are we going to do next?" Ji Rui asked uncomfortably. She had betrayed, and she could no longer afford to lose.

"Don't worry, I've already thought about it, you and my fourth brother have a close relationship. As soon as he comes back from his cultivation, you will poison his food. As long as he dies, everything in this city lord's mansion will be ours. Tong Xi said confidently.

"No way!" Ji Rui sat up abruptly and said, "You're cheating me like that." I can't promise you. You also know how much the lord dotes on him. If he dies in the City Lord's Mansion, then the City Lord will definitely try his best to arrest the murderer. When the time comes, not only me, but you will also suffer. ”

Tong Xi smiled and hugged Ji Rui into his arms again. "Don't worry, you'll be fine. That poison is a poison that can be latent in the human body, and it has an incubation period of up to three days. You can avoid this crisis by lying that you are going home after being poisoned. In this way, who else will doubt you? ”

"I see, so it couldn't be better." Ji Rui was immediately relieved, obviously thinking in her short-sighted gaze that she would naturally win.

In fact, Tong Xi will have the kind of poison that can be hidden in the human body for three days? These are just deceiving Ji Rui.

And Tong Xi never thought of making Ji Rui the wife of the city lord. After all, which city lord would let his wife be a maid, and she was once someone else's maid? He's just using Ji Rui.

All Tong Xi wanted was for Ji Rui to poison 'Tong Huan' to death. Of course, after Ji Rui poisoned "Tong Huan", he would inevitably be arrested. But that's no longer about Tong Xi.

Even if Ji Rui really poked Tong Huan out, it didn't matter, after all, Tong Xi would not be stupid enough to let Ji Rui get your father who could Zhilong.

Moreover, even if the city lord believed Ji Rui's words, at that time, it would be impossible for him to kill Tong Xi, the only heir to the city lord.

This was Tong Xi's plan, and Ji Rui was just a tool for him to step onto the throne of the city lord. It's just that these Ji Rui don't know at all, and she is still dreaming of becoming the wife of the city lord.

"Ji Rui baby, I have one more thing I want you to help with." Tong Xi looked forward to it.

"We're already in the same boat, so I'll help you with anything." Ji Rui said sweetly.

"I'm going to ask you to help me get Butong." Tong Xi's eyes were full of obscenity.

"Hmph, just got me, just thinking about that little ****, you are really insatiable. Do you want to abandon me and make her your lord's wife? I'm not going to help you. Ji Rui resolutely denied it. She already had a sense of crisis in her heart.

"Don't worry, baby, how could I let you down? I just want to do it with Miss Butong once, just once, can you help me? Tong Xi asked expectantly. He really wanted to get Butong. Just like Tong Huan at the beginning.

Butong is really perfect. Even in the entire Mengbeixing, there may not be a more beautiful woman than Butong. This also makes countless people want to surrender under her pomegranate skirt.

Tong Xi is one of them. Ever since he met Bu Tong by chance in the mansion, he has always wanted to have fun with Bu Tong. But he didn't dare to use force on Bu Tong. If he did that, he would be expelled from the City Lord's Mansion and would never have lost his position as City Lord from now on.

Since then, he has been thinking about how to get Bu Tong all the time, and finally he finally decided to kill Tong Huan. In that way, he can not only get the position of the lord of the city, but also get such a unique beauty.

Yes, Bu Tong is the direct reason why Tong Xi wants to kill Tong Huan. Even if Qin Ying pretended to be Tong Huan to cultivate with Tong Lian, Tong Xi didn't think that Tong Huan was really a prodigal son. Even if the prodigal son really turned back, it was impossible to change so quickly. As long as Tong Huan is not really a prodigal son, there is not much hope of inheriting the position of city lord, and he will not really kill Tong Huan, after all, they are also brothers.

It's just that the position of the city lord can wait, but the beauty can't. In the face of a perfect woman like Butong, Tong Xi waits for a day is a torment. So he couldn't afford to wait, and finally decided to kill Tong Huan.

"You really just want her once?" Ji Rui said distrustfully.

"Of course. Moreover, if my fourth brother came out and knew that his favorite woman no longer belonged to him, then he would definitely expel Butong. In this way, it can be regarded as giving you the evil anger in your heart. Tong Xi said half-truthfully.

Women are always deceived by rhetoric, and Ji Rui is no exception. She already believed Tong Xi's words at this moment, "Okay, I'll help you once." ”

"Thank you so much, baby." Tong likes to be very happy.

Ji Rui didn't continue to fight with Tong Xi, she got dressed, and quietly left Tong Xi's room with the help of blood. Her relationship with Tong Xi cannot be known by others for the time being.
