My eyes flickered for a moment, and I couldn't avoid exposing all my feelings to his eyes, and by the time I hurriedly lowered my eyes, I already knew in my heart that it was too late.

And Pei Yuanhao didn't ask or get angry, he just looked at me so calmly.

He asked, "Did you really do it?"

I was confused for a while, I don't know why at this time, he wanted to ask something that had been sealed for a long time, and after being silent for a long time, I said softly: "Didn't Your Majesty come to ask at the beginning? ”

"But I want to ask again. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward, and although my gaze did not meet his, I could feel that his gaze was as hot and hot as ever, and when he looked at me intently, it was as if a fire had been lit in this cold night, and when he saw there, my skin was burned.

He said: "Light, now, she has also left, and you have already confessed your guilt, I will not be punished for one crime." ”

“……”

"I just want to know, is it really you?"

“……”

"You tell me the truth. ”

I glanced up at him, then slowly withdrew my gaze, only this time I didn't lower my eyes, but looked to the side, as quiet as the lake at night.

He asked like this, is it, he has already noticed something, or knows something, so he will say that the premise is that Nangong Lizhu has left, and I have been punished for confessing my guilt, and all the pressure that scared me is gone, and he wants a word of truth from me.

But can I give him this truth?

After telling the truth, if he asks for details, what should I say if he asks me to tell him how it came to be in the first place?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel numb, even looking at the calm lake, my eyebrows slowly twisted into a pimple. Sensing the urgency of my breathing, he looked at me and didn't open his mouth to urge, just waited quietly.

I don't know how long it took, I finally spoke, and said with some heaviness: "Majesty, I want to ask Majesty to promise me one thing." ”

"You say. ”

"Tonight, in this pavilion, I will tell the truth to His Majesty. ”

“……”

"But, out of this pavilion, please don't pursue it again. ”

“……”

"Enough blood has been shed, tears, more. ”

He looked at me deeply: "Okay. ”

I sighed lightly, and then said, "At the beginning, Concubine Li's miscarriage was not done by me. ”

His eyes flickered, and he was about to say something, but I didn't wait for him to speak, and then said, "But I'm not completely innocent." ”

“……”

"I did move a little, otherwise, Ding Jieyu would not suddenly go crazy and start attacking Concubine Li. ”

Pei Yuanhao looked at me, his eyes shrank slightly, he didn't ask me how I made Ding Jieyu crazy, but asked in a deep voice: "Who did you want her to attack?"

"Concubine, Shen Rou. ”

“……”

"She killed my first child, and I hated her to the core, but at that time, my name tag fell into her hands, and I didn't dare to act rashly, who knows, she actually used that thing to threaten me, asking me to help her get rid of the child in Concubine Li's womb. ”

"So you-"

"So, I did think of some ways and did some things, but the target was not Concubine Li, but her. ”

"Then why, the victim will be Lizhu?"

I took a deep breath and said slowly, "Self-inflicted, no one else." ”

Pei Yuanhao's breath sank for a moment, as if he didn't expect me to say such a thing, he glanced at me in surprise, and I also looked at him, without the slightest guilt, just spread his hands calmly, and said with a faint smile: "Look, the truth is not so beautiful, and the truth is ugly many times." I haven't said it, does Your Majesty understand my kindness?"

“……”

"I'm not the one who is completely innocent. ”

“……”

"Come to think of it, there are really few completely innocent people in this world. ”

This is the most I have said in front of him, but he didn't speak again, just looked at me quietly, I calmly endured that kind of gaze, but I couldn't bear the cold of soaking human muscles and bones at this moment, and reached out to hold my arms and shrank slightly.

Pei Yuanhao suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his hands towards me.

I thought he was going to hit me or choke me by the neck, so I hurriedly took a step back.

His hand had just touched my shoulder, and when he saw me retreating in almost fright, he didn't come any closer, but just put his fingers lightly on my shoulder, and said, "I just see you cold." ”

“……”

"After all, you're still guarding against me. ”

“……”

I looked into his eyes, and I didn't know what I could say for a while, but I saw the bright eyes in the dark night, which flashed with tenderness, helplessness, and even a little dazed gaze, as if it was also a little painful, and his hands gently stroked my shoulders and said, "You just didn't finish your words." ”

“……”

"Are you still protecting someone?"

“……”

After all, it came to this point.

If I tell a lie, he will not believe it, and if I tell the truth, he will implicate others.

The painting in Chang Qing's studio, although it has been destroyed by me, but in her heart, how many portraits of that man have been sketched inextricably, if Pei Yuanhao really wants to ask, can she hold on?

Maybe she can hold on, after all, she has endured it for so many years, but the emperor and queen have a dislike at this time, and it will not benefit anyone.

I was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, even if you are the emperor, rich all over the world, and powerful in the world, but you also live such a thing - the world is unpredictable, and people's hearts are difficult to return. How difficult is it to have someone around you who treats you sincerely?"

“……”

"Isn't it good to keep her and protect her?"

He looked at me in some amazement, as if he couldn't believe that I could say these words, and when I had said these words, I was a little discouraged, and let his hand around my shoulder, and the wide robe and sleeves almost enveloped my whole body, revealing only a somewhat pale face, and a pair of large, dark and empty eyes staring at him.

I said, "Your Majesty, these are things that I would never have said in the past. ”

“……”

"With that said today, it's really time for me to go. ”

His fingers trembled slightly: "Light ......"

I reached out and gently took off his hand on my shoulder, then looked at him and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will leave for Xichuan, and I will think twice about these things in the palace." ”

“……”

"Think again. ”
