Chapter Seventy-One: The Truth Revealed
Li Chu faced the questioning of the two of them and confessed to his actions, Feng Jiu saw that he had already expected a look, and the stone in his heart became heavier and heavier. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But when Chen Zizhu offered to take her away from the Rite Mansion, Feng Jiu flickered and euphemistically expressed his unwillingness.
No matter what she said, Feng Jiu could find all kinds of reasons to refuse, and Chen Zizhu had no choice but to spread his hands and say, "Then I'll stay here and accompany you." ”
"Zizhu, you're crazy, go home quickly." Feng Jiu raised his eyebrows, his face was a little more anxious, and he couldn't help but pull her.
Chen Zizhu gently broke away from her hand, put away her frivolous expression, and said with a straight face: "Cousin, Brother Wen Lu is not here, I have to take care of you instead of him." ”
"No, Zizhu ......"
"Ahem...... I said," Li Chu covered his mouth and coughed lowly, reminding the two sisters in front of him, "Zizhu, you plan to live here, do you also want to ask me if I agree, is there any vacant room in the house?" ”
Although Feng Jiu was a little surprised, he still followed Li Chu's words and said: "Yes, you should also ask the master's family if it is inconvenient, and the room in the house is also ......."
Before the words were finished, the indifferent person now smiled at Chen Zizhu with a flattering smile: "There are vacant rooms, how long do you like to live." ”
Feng Jiu was so angry by his words that he almost vomited three liters of blood, glanced at Chen Zizhu at the end of his eyes, and after signaling her to go out, he raised his voice and asked, "Are you setting up such a big game just to put me under house arrest in the mansion?" ”
"Don't forget, you are reluctant to leave." Li Chu smiled very openly, but unfortunately there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
She really wanted to stay in every possible way, because she knew that the person in front of her was not simple, and she wanted to spy on his secrets and find out his purpose.
Feng Jiu saw that he looked defenseless, and deliberately stimulated him: "Aren't you afraid that I will give you another knife?" ”
"You won't." Li Chu raised his hand and pointed to the low table behind him, which meant a long talk.
Feng Jiu saw that he took the lead in sitting on the ground, and also followed, and saw that he was not in a hurry to make tea, holding his sleeve to pour tea for himself, and simply said straight to the point: "Just say what you want to say, what are you doing with all this time?" ”
"Is it that no matter what happens, you are unwilling to leave the Western Capital and refuse to give up the idea of revenge?" Li Chu leaned on a few points, and he couldn't see any emotion in his deep eyes.
Feng Jiu naturally had no need to be false with him, and said in a firm tone: "Yes, I know you have always wanted me to give up, but this is impossible, unless I die." ”
"You don't have to die, I'll take revenge for you." Li Chugu poured himself a cup of tea and drank it lightly.
"Heh, you help me get revenge? How funny does that sound, but how can I trust you based on what you've done before? ”
"Who doesn't know your unparalleled resourcefulness, and who else in the world can be cunning against you? You don't want to calculate that I can't get my hands on it, don't you think I'm being held back by you now, and I don't even have a helper? ”
Feng Jiu didn't stop breathing, and said a few words in a row, as if she wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction in her heart, but after she finished speaking, she suddenly realized a very strange thing.
That is, until now, she can sit in front of this person well, sighing and mocking him, and all those messes seem to have disappeared out of thin air.
"It's because no one can be cunning against me, so these things have to be left to me to do, do you think you have a better chance of succeeding or I have a better chance of succeeding?" Li Chu's response to her various reactions was always indifferent.
After a short silence, Li Chu suddenly straightened up, moved the wooden box on the side to Feng Jiu, and asked her to open it.
This wooden box is different from ordinary wooden boxes, it is actually dark, and there is a dragon and a phoenix climbing on the wooden box, and the carver is obviously the best she has ever seen.
Feng Jiu's index finger was slightly raised, and he opened the lock of the wooden box, opened it, and saw that it was the beautiful phoenix hairpin, and his heart couldn't help but froze, frowning and pushing it away: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Li Chu pushed the wooden box in front of her again, but her eyes were firmly fixed on Feng Jiu and said, "This is not for you, but a congratulatory gift prepared for you by the first emperor early in the morning." ”
Hearing the word Xianhuang pop out of Lichu's mouth, Feng Jiu felt that he had misheard, and tilted his head slightly and asked, "What did you say?" Which emperor? ”
"Emperor Wenzhao Xifan."
These five words are like five thunders, one after another slashed into Feng Jiu's chest, that is her most beloved imperial brother, the imperial brother she has guarded the imperial tomb for nearly three years, how can she forget?
"It can't be." Feng Jiu didn't dare to look at Feng Hai more, and only shook his head at Li Chu.
Li Chu took Feng Hai out of the box, moved the wooden box in front of Feng Jiu and said: "There is a letter on the inside of the wooden box, which was left to you by the first emperor, in fact, I should have shown it to you." ”
Although Feng Jiu's face showed disbelief, he still didn't have the patience to find out, reached out and picked up the wooden box, and took out the letter from Li Chu's mouth from the mezzanine.
When he was about to open it, Feng Jiu suddenly paused, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Have you read this letter?" ”
"No, since it is something left to you by the first emperor, what qualifications do I have to see it?" Li Chu poured tea for himself as he spoke, so as to pass the time waiting for Feng Jiu to read the letter.
Feng Jiu only looked at two lines, and the hand was already shaking, and her face was full of shock as if she had seen the most terrible thing in the world, she didn't want to believe it, but she had to believe it, because she recognized the words of the first emperor.
Tears continued to drip on the letter, Feng Jiu didn't even have the courage to raise his eyes to look at the person sitting in front of him, he closed his eyes and bit his lip tightly, and every word in the letter jumped out and pressed heavily on her chest, making her breathless.
She didn't know that the first emperor was poisoned and killed violently, and she didn't know that the emperor's uncle had collaborated with the enemy and treason before the death of the first emperor, and she didn't know that the first emperor entrusted himself and the rivers and mountains of Southern Chu to Song Chaozong, and she also didn't know how much pain Song Chaozong endured for the crime of betraying the country......
But now she knew everything, she suddenly understood everything, even if she closed her eyes, she could feel the weak breath and firm heart of the person in front of her, but she didn't know before, and even didn't hesitate to hurt him.
Despite this, at this time, Feng Jiu still took care of the last trace of his face, and reluctantly got up and said, "You let me think about it." ”
"Feng Jiu ......" Li Chu didn't look at her, lowered his head and said to the teacup, "You don't have to be so sad, you have to know that no one will blame you." ”
This sentence completely crushed Feng Jiu's last trace of defense, the tense nerves of these days, the viciousness of the disguise, and the revenge she had been thinking about when she had nightmares all these years completely collapsed in an instant.
The pain that hit in an instant, breaking directly into her heart without any cushioning, made her barely have the strength to support herself, and she clenched her teeth to try to stand.
She turned around with all her strength and said in a deep tone, "Why? Why didn't you tell me early in the morning? Why wait until I've done these irreparable wrongs before telling me the truth? Song Chaozong, is this your revenge on me? Will I carry these painful guiltes forever?! ”
