When Mrs. Xiao left, she was still full of manners and graceful and luxurious, but the strong jealousy in her eyes that she couldn't hide still made Zhong Ziyuan feel frightened. It wasn't until she watched Mrs. Xiao walk away that she patted her pounding little heart and stuck out her tongue mischievously.

In any case, Zhong Ziyuan thought that he was an ant-like little person in this palace, but because of Yelu Tilie, he was concerned and hated by countless people. Lady Xiao and Talena are typical representatives, one of them is a noble lady with a strong background, and the other is a ruthless guard leader.

Zhong Ziyuan didn't want to be remembered by them at the same time, she also wanted to save a small life to live a happy life with Guo Chenghe, so she didn't mind stirring up trouble and letting them fight by themselves!

Knowing that Mrs. Xiao had temporarily focused on Talena, and at this moment, Talena and Yeluteri were entangled together, and it was estimated that the two of them had no time to estimate themselves these days, Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but feel good, and walked with a much brisk foot.

She hummed a little tune and wandered around, picking a lot of wild flowers along the way, until she even hugged the hands of the little palace maid behind her. Inadvertently, she walked to the most important confidential place of the Khitan Palace, near the main hall. The guards here became more and more tight, almost to the point of one post at seven paces and one sentry at ten paces.

As soon as Zhong Ziyuan approached the main hall, she swished, and three spears blocked her way.

The guards on the left glared at her and shouted in a deep voice in Khitan language: "Stand down!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan showed a blank expression, and she tiptoed to the grass in front of the main hall. said: "Let me go, I want to pick those crane grasses." ”

A guard on the right side snorted coldly: "Madame is moving forward, don't blame your subordinates for being polite." ”

Zhong Ziyuan saw that there were three guards. The other guards were also staring at her with vigilant faces, as if there was no room for accommodation at all, she sighed slightly and had to turn away.

However, with that hurried glance, she also saw an unexpectedly familiar figure, and for her, this trip was not in vain.

"Wait!"

Zhong Ziyuan turned around and only took a few steps when a familiar call came from behind him. Zhong Ziyuan turned around. I saw Jerodreth, who had just walked out of the main hall, surrounded by the guards.

It had only been one night, and Jeruteret had tiredness in his eyes, and his brow was tightly locked. The corners of his mouth unconsciously twitched, and his whole face was shrouded in a thick anger. He was accompanied by a tall, resolute-looking young man with luxurious clothes.

The young man frowned and glanced at Zhong Ziyuan. Then he gave a bow to Jeroderi on his chest. Said: "Khan, the marriage, even if we have decided it, I will go back to Shengjing to report the good news to the old Khan." ”

Yelutreh nodded, replied with a calm face, and said, "Then there will be labor." The young man stroked his chest again, then turned and strode away.

After watching the young man gradually walk away, Yelu Tilie returned his gaze to Zhong Ziyuan. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said suspiciously, "What are you doing here?" Zhong Ziyuan didn't say anything, only raised the bouquet in his arms.

Jerutheret didn't really seem to care why Zhong Ziyuan was here. He slowly walked down the steps and said, "If it's okay, come with me!" He didn't wait for Zhong Ziyuan to answer, and took the lead in walking out. Zhong Ziyuan couldn't, so she had to keep up with him slowly.

At this moment, the sun was setting, and a large area of fiery clouds almost stained half of the sky red. In the distance, there are faint green hills, and in the near distance, there are green grasses and flowers, and from time to time there are tired birds flying overhead. When the sun disappeared behind the clouds, the heat on the ground dissipated a lot, and the wind blew on the body and was not so hot and uncomfortable.

Although Yelu Tilie asked Zhong Ziyuan to accompany him, he kept walking by himself, and he didn't seem to speak. It's just that the confusion and anxiety on his face reveal that his mood at the moment is definitely not happy.

In just a few days, Zhong Ziyuan's feelings for Shang Yelu Tilie are very complicated, and her hatred is certain, but she seems to have some sympathy in addition to hatred. Especially the play he sang with Talena last night, which has fully exposed that this person's emotional intelligence is so low that he can't bear to look at it directly.

is obviously a man who has the intention of a concubine, but he wants to do this toss to death. It is estimated that he will not come to his senses until the day when Talena leaves in discouragement.

Just when Zhong Ziyuan was distracted, Yelu Tilie stopped and seemed to say something, she didn't hear clearly, so she had to ask helplessly: "What?" ”

Jeruthereth frowned, and he abruptly reached out and stroked the bun above her head. His gnarled fingers ran from top to bottom from her bun to her sun-tanned cheeks, then to her pointed chin, and finally to her slender swan-like neck.

Confused, he said, "I know you wanted to kill me because I killed your man." But why can't I see that monstrous hatred in your eyes today, did you forget your man so quickly? ”

As soon as his words came out, Zhong Ziyuan froze. Yes, after meeting Guo Chengsi last night, the hatred in her heart immediately dissipated a lot. Coupled with the fact that how to find the account book, almost all of her thoughts were occupied, and her hatred for Jeruthereth naturally dissipated a part. She never expected that this man's eyes would be so vicious, and she instantly noticed the change in her mood.

His fingers were distinct, rough and powerful, rubbing against the delicate skin of her neck, intentionally or unintentionally, giving her goosebumps all over her body. Zhong Ziyuan endured it, did not struggle, did not speak, and did not even raise his eyes to look at him.

Suddenly, Jeruthereth withdrew his fingers and began to exert force. He said with a hideous face: "Actually, whether you hate me or not, I don't care, because your life and death are between my thoughts." ”

Zhong Ziyuan felt a pain in her throat, her little face was almost suffocated into eggplant purple, and the maid behind her was startled, she couldn't help screaming, and the flowers in her arms were scattered on the ground. Yelu glanced at her suspiciously, and the maid immediately knelt down.

Zhong Ziyuan finally raised her eyes to look at him, she sneered, gritted her teeth with great difficulty and said, "You, you." Also, it's really pitiful! ”

Jeroderith let go of his hand suddenly, and a large amount of fresh air poured in. made Zhong Ziyuan start to choke violently. But Jerutheret raised her smooth chin with her index finger, and said contemptuously: "I really don't know, where did you get the courage to say that I am pitiful." ”

Zhong Ziyuan held her head high, although the bruises on her face had not completely faded, she clearly showed the pity in her eyes: "Whether it is life or death, I know that my man loves me." In his heart, he has only me in his eyes, just as he is in my heart. There is only him in his eyes. But what about you? You are a powerful khan, you have countless wealth, power and beauty.

But thy riches have been robbed, and thy power is spying on by countless people. Even those beauties you're holding. How many of them truly love you as a person? If one day, you have nothing, or you are killed by your enemies, who of your ladies will shed a tear for you? I'm afraid you don't even know about it.

You make a profit like this every day, calculating and calculating, and no one dares to believe it. Living with such trepidation, you can't even tell the difference between sincerity and falsehood, you dare to say that you are not pitiful! ”

She spat it out. As if his hand had been burned, Jeruthereth immediately withdrew his fingers. His deep eyes narrowed slightly. His thin lips pursed, and the wind blew the light robe on his body, raising slightly. At that moment, Zhong Ziyuan saw a strong vibration in his eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally asked, "What do you know?" Or did Talena tell you something? ”

Zhong Ziyuan rolled her eyes and said angrily: "I don't know anything, I just know that Talena has decided to leave you." ”

"No, it can't be, she wouldn't have gone if I hadn't taken that wolf tooth necklace." Yelu Tilie scolded excitedly, Zhong Ziyuan's words, he didn't want to believe a word.

Zhong Ziyuan snorted coldly and said, "Do you think that a woman with a strong temperament like Talena will really be bound by a wolf tooth necklace?" The only thing that binds her is the heart that loves you, and maybe some kind of guilt. You consciously or unconsciously stimulate her with other women, cruelly watching her suffer in pain, watching her heart dripping blood. You don't know that the clotted blood scab is also hard, and when an originally soft heart is covered with blood scabs, it will also be forced to harden. ”

Yelutreh froze completely, he was motionless and stunned, and after a while, he suddenly flicked his sleeves and sneered: "Nonsense! ”

Zhong Ziyuan didn't say a word, still looking at him with that kind of pity. His eyes wandered away from hers, and he turned around in embarrassment and left, still shouting in his mouth: "Nonsense! It's all nonsense! Without paying attention, he stumbled and almost fell.

Zhong Ziyuan stared at his back with sparkling eyes, and it wasn't until after he left that the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile. Her counters were accurate and effective, and she grabbed his soft underbelly and stabbed him hard. When the shrewd and terrible Jerodreth panicked, she was able to fish in troubled waters.

Zhong Ziyuan squatted down and began to pick up the flowers that had been scattered all over the ground. She picked these flowers all afternoon, but she was reluctant to throw them away. Just as she was busy, a pair of delicate brown embroidered shoes suddenly appeared in front of her, Zhong Ziyuan raised her head in surprise, but there was a silver-haired old lady in a gorgeous dress standing in front of her.

The smile on the old lady's face was very warm, the wrinkles on her face witnessed the hard work of her youth, and her cloudy eyes were carefully looking at Zhong Ziyuan.

Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly stood up, and after a little blessing, he hesitated: "May I ask who you are?" ”

The old lady was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "The old body is the mother of Yelu Tireh." ”

"I've seen the Queen Mother."

"Son, get up!"

"Empress Dowager Xie."

The Queen Mother looked at Zhong Ziyuan, who was restrained, kindly, and motioned to the maid behind her to bring a handkerchief. She personally wiped the beads of sweat from the corners of Zhong Ziyuan's forehead with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Whose child are you?" How come I have never met you? ”

After Zhong Ziyuan hesitated for a moment, he said calmly: "I was captured by the Khan, and I was locked up in the cold palace for several months, and I was only released yesterday. ”

The Queen Mother was obviously taken aback, and then she continued to wipe her sweat as if nothing happened. It wasn't until she wiped the beads of sweat off her forehead that she handed the handkerchief to the maid behind her, and then said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've met an old man from the Central Plains, are you willing to have dinner with the old man?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan had no choice but to lower her eyebrows and say, "It's such an honor, it's really unbelievable." ”

"It's so sweet."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but say, took her hand, and walked towards the main hall. Zhong Ziyuan had no choice but to turn around and gesture to the maid to pick up all the flowers scattered on the ground.

Zhong Ziyuan was led by the Queen Mother, and by mistake, she finally stepped into the scope of the main hall, and her heart couldn't help jumping up excitedly. Of course, the Queen Mother would not take her to important places such as the study and the main hall, but took her directly back to her bedroom.

The queen mother's dormitory is unexpectedly simple, and there is not too much decoration, just look at the wide stepping bed, the long collapse under the window, and the large cabinet with soft inlaid luodian in vermilion lacquer standing on the wall. There is also a shrugging plum vase full of flowers, which makes Zhong Ziyuan feel very cordial, like returning to his home in Chang'an City.

A maid has set a table full of food, mostly meat and dairy products, but also some vegetables, preserved fruits and pastries. The Queen Mother smiled and signaled, "Eat!" I don't have to be inhibited. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie." Zhong Ziyuan was indeed a little hungry, so he was no longer polite, and ate with relish.

The Queen Mother looked at her with a smile, suddenly sighed softly, and said slowly: "The old body heard what you said to the Khan before. ”

"Poof" Zhong Ziyuan's milk tea in her mouth almost squirted out, she hurriedly put down the silver spoon in her hand, covered her mouth and coughed embarrassedly.

"Silly boy, why are you so careless!" The Queen Mother hurriedly reached out and gently patted her back until she gradually calmed down.

Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly stood up and blessed him, and said with tears in his eyes: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins!" Of course, her tears were choked.

The Queen Mother withdrew her hand and sighed: "The old body didn't mean to blame you, but I should thank you, thank you for waking up my stupid child who was blinded by hatred." In fact, Talena also grew up with the old body, and no one knows her feelings for the khan better than the old body, but unfortunately because of some misunderstandings, the two have been torturing each other all these years, and the old body is really worried when she looks at it from the side! But it's not easy to intervene. I listened to what you just said, and I felt very happy. Zhong Ziyuan's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's just a pity!" After a pause, the Queen Mother sighed faintly: "You said it late, if only it could be earlier." Today, the Khan decided to marry in Shengjing and marry the granddaughter of Yeluye Zhuo Khan, Akzhen, as the Great Clan, and these two children are destined to be inseparable after all.
