At night, the lights are dim, and in the Ruiwang Mansion, in stark contrast to the lively Xiyun Temple, is the Qingfeng Residence with a cold atmosphere. The flowers at the entrance of the courtyard are scattered, and the emerald green flower stems are swaying straight in the wind, but they add a bit of gloom to this quiet and dark courtyard.

Su Ziran tightly clenched the purple jade lotus hairpin in her palm, and the corners of her mouth pulled almost imperceptibly, overflowing with a bitter smile.

Even the hairband that has been around for so many years has been ruined, but I didn't expect that in the end, I still can't bear this hairpin.

She remembers every grass and tree that day clearly, and all the person's demeanor and movements seem to be lingering in front of her, especially the pair of obsidian-like bright black eyes, shining stars, and the arc of the lips, like doting and loving.

Suddenly, as if she suddenly thought of something, her expression changed, and she fiercely stuffed the hairpin back into the purse around her waist, and stepped forward without stopping for a moment.

There was a "squeak", and the courtyard door opened.

Su Ziran was taken aback, and her slender figure was almost imperceptible.

Outside the door, a man dressed in white stood tall and jade, and under the dark and scattered stars, he looked particularly eye-catching. The bright red dress had been replaced by him at some point, and the white corners of the robe swayed quietly in the night breeze, creating layers of ripples, like a stone that had broken the calm stream on her heart.

The moment they looked at each other, one of the two of them had a slightly stiff face, the corners of the other lips were pursed, and there were all kinds of emotions in their eyes, which were complex and deep, and neither of them could understand what the other party was thinking.

After staring at each other for a long time, Su Ziran really couldn't stand this weird silence, and finally took the lead in speaking: "What is the prince doing here?" ”

In fact, she doesn't care what he's doing here, it's just that he's in her way at the moment.

The man's gaze wandered up and down her body for a week, although she still didn't apply powder, her clothes were no longer the embarrassing and thin bedclothes of the day, and the uncombed green silk hung loosely on her shoulders and was tied up with an inky hairband.

After a long time, his eyes froze slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "It's so late, you want to go out?" ”

"Does this have anything to do with the prince?" She raised her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and her smile was full of mockery and coldness.

The man's face changed, and he was about to speak, but she seemed to suddenly think of something, and let out a soft "oh", revealing a look of sudden realization: "Look at my memory, how can I forget, now I am the side concubine of Lord Rui." ”

The word "side concubine" is like a sharp double-edged sword, which not only pierces the man, but also pierces her own heart.

Bloody.

"Su Ziran, do you have to talk like that?"

There was a trace of obvious pain in the dark phoenix eyes, the man wrinkled his eyebrows deeply, his eyes twisted her slightly sideways face for a moment, and the thin lips were tightly pursed into a cold straight line.

The smile on the corner of Su Ziran's mouth stiffened slightly, and then he sneered disdainfully, and said coldly: "It's strange, why am I talking?" Am I not right? ”

The man's eyes flashed, and a low voice with a slightly hoarse voice slowly fell: "Okay, since you know your identity, can you answer the king's question?" ”

Unexpectedly, he would be so aggressive, Su Ziran was stunned, and after a moment, he smiled softly: "Yes, I do want to go out." ”

"Where to go?" There was a palpable eagerness and tremor in his voice.

In front of him, he was dressed in a happy dress and worshipping with others in the daytime, and the question she asked him seemed to have an answer.

Why chase her?

Maybe he didn't want to chase her, he just couldn't let his things be snatched away, and a proud man like him must not be able to bear that crazy feeling.

But why now?

Obviously tonight is the candle in the cave room between him and his beloved, why did he suddenly come here to care where she goes?

Su Ziran bent her lips, knowing that she would not have any results if she continued to stalemate with him like this, anyway, she said that she wanted to go out, he would definitely not agree, and even if she asked the doubts in her heart, he might not necessarily answer - this man, only what he wants you to know will tell you, and what he doesn't want you to know, even if you take great pains, in the end you will not know anything, so after her eyes dodged for a long time, she finally raised her head slightly.

At the man's gaze glued to her, she smiled slightly, cold and detached.

"Does it matter?"

She looked at him steadily, the emotion in her eyes touched the man's deep phoenix eyes, paused, and repeated the words as if she was not satisfied: "Lord Wang, is this important?" ”

The man was shocked, his forehead jumped a few times, and the back of his clenched hand was faintly exposed.

He wanted to say, how is it not important?

She is his woman, it is not the blue sky and daylight, but the middle of the night, she doesn't stay by his side well, what is she going out for?

It's just a matter of going out, she even said, does it matter where you go?

Taking in his reaction, Su Ziran shook his head almost invisibly, with three points of helplessness, three points of self-deprecation in his tired little face, and a touch of more complex emotions, which seemed to be resentment and hatred.

"Lord Wang, you know, I'm not a person who follows the rules, let alone abide by the female virtues of male superiority and inferiority of women, and husbands as wives, so even if the prince moves out these things at this moment, he can't help me at all." She licked her dry lips, finally lowered her eyes, and said solemnly: "Now I will tell the prince clearly, I want to leave, I want to leave." ”

I don't know if it's her illusion, after she said these words, she obviously saw the man's handsome figure swaying violently, no longer upright, replaced by a bit of loneliness and depression.

The man looked at her quietly, just as she did at the moment, waiting for his answer.

Half a sound, probably intimidated by the firmness in her eyes, the man's eyes froze, and finally slowly staggered the gaze that intersected with her.

"What if the king doesn't allow it?" His face turned pale and he said in a deep voice.

Su Ziran raised her eyebrows slightly, although she had expected him to answer this way, her heart still twitched irrepressibly.

He was already surrounded by flowers, so why did he have to keep her by his side and continue to torture each other?

Could it be that his feelings are love, and that woman's feelings are love, but only her thoughts are not within his consideration? Just because she is not the person in his heart, can she hurt so without scruples?

"As I have already said, there is nothing to stop me from leaving this courtyard. I don't need to leave the book, everything is as happy as the prince is, as long as I am let go. ”

Her voice was faint and silent, as if she was saying something insignificant, but with each more word she said, the pain in the man's heart deepened by two points, and in the end, his chest rose and fell irrepressibly.

He can threaten and imprison, but for a person who doesn't care about anything, what can he do to keep him?

He didn't want to see her like this!

But it turned out that the hurt he had done was so deep that she didn't want to stay by his side anymore......

But what should he do?

Su Ziran's face changed slightly, and she was startled by the almost vicious look on the man's face, but seeing that his eyes were red, before she could react from this shock, her body suddenly became heavy, and it was the man's arms that wrapped her tightly like a rope, with such great force, as if he wanted to rub her into his own bones and blood.

The slashed jaw rested on her shoulder, and she exhaled in pain: "Jun Luohan, what are you crazy about!" ”

"Finally willing to call Jun Luohan? I thought you had forgotten the name! He shouted in a hoarse voice, as if he was in great pain, and his tall body trembled slightly, "Su Ziran, you are not allowed to leave, this king has not agreed, who will allow you to leave like this?" ”

The surging emotions were rushing, the nose was sour, and the eyes were **** instantly, and she almost burst into tears.

She didn't cry when she learned that she was demoted to a side concubine, she didn't cry when she saw him worship with others, even if she didn't cry when she knew who that woman was, but at this moment, she couldn't help it anymore.

Tears flooded down, and all emotions urgently needed an outlet for catharsis, but she didn't want to be in front of him, not at all!

She has always disdained this kind of thing to win sympathy, and she would rather not give charity and pity, raised her hand and wiped it on her face twice, her eyes widened vigorously, and she tried to hold back all the tears that remained in her eyes.

Fortunately, the man only cared about holding her fiercely at the moment, with majestic emotions and chaotic behavior, so he didn't notice anything wrong with her.

"Su Ziran, this king will definitely treat you well in the future, and use everything to compensate you, as long as you want, as long as you want it, this king will help you do it, this king will promise you everything, okay?"

His voice was low, with a hint of obvious trembling, and even the pain and bitterness in it were clear, and his hands tightened more and more, as if he was afraid that she would say "no", that she would suddenly push away his embrace.

Exhausted everything?

Su Ziran smiled lowly, her undisguised mockery deeply pierced the man's heart, but she laughed louder and louder without hesitation, her shoulders trembled, and she finally stopped until she laughed almost out of breath.

"Lord, why bother? If you really say yes to everything, then let me go now. ”

"No!" The man roared, "This is the only one! You can do anything else, you can do whatever you want the king, but this is the only thing that doesn't work......"

Look, even now, he is still this affectionate appearance, as if he is really reluctant to her.

Is she ridiculous, or is he ridiculous? Is she pathetic, or is he pathetic?

She narrowed her eyes, buried herself in his chest, lowered her voice, and asked sullenly, "Is it really okay to do anything?" ”
