Lin Zhaoyan was carried back to the other courtyard by Xiao Qi.

She knew that she was reckless, and she didn't dare to take a breath under the pressure of Xiao Qi's eyes, so she could only hang her head the whole time and pretend not to exist.

However, Xiao Qi had no intention of letting her go, and was quite restrained along the way, and as soon as he returned to the house, he said with a cold face, "Say, if you don't make it clear, don't think about seeing Rui'er again in the future." ”

"You!" Lin Zhaoyan raised his eyes in shock.

Xiao Qi had an expression of "why are you still reasonable", and continued to say coldly: "You are so reckless, what can Rui'er learn from you?" ”

Lin Zhaoyan was frustrated, and he also understood that he was indeed reckless, if it weren't for Xiao Qi today, she might really be arrested as a spy or strangled to death by that guard.

However, she was just in too much of a hurry to think of it at all!

"I'm just worried about you." Thinking like this, the words became much more confident.

"I don't need you to worry." Xiao Qi replied like this, his voice was still cold, and he could see that he was still angry.

Lin Zhaoyan was deflated all of a sudden, and couldn't help but slander in his heart, does the person in front of him really like himself? How it feels like interrogating criminals!

"Who told you that I was in King Xiao's Mansion?" Xiao Qi saw that the deterrence had been achieved, and he didn't want to overdo it, so he got to the point.

Lin Zhaoyan raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Xiujin, seeing that this thing was pretending to look at the scenery, he despised him fiercely in his heart, and said: "A maid said that she said that you had a fight with the prince of Xiao Wang, and I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I ......."

Xiao Qi understood as soon as he heard it, turned his head and glared at Xu Xiujin fiercely, "You still don't think things are messy enough, do you?" I don't care about Rui'er's affairs anymore, if you hit her with your idea, don't blame me for being merciless! ”

Xu Xiujin opened his mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said in frustration: "That's it." If you want to put her first, let her go, I don't know the hearts of good people! ”

Lin Zhaoyan stared at his departing back, and vaguely understood something.

I'm afraid that Xu Xiu's purpose in telling her in the past was not to stop Xiao Qi from dealing with Xiao Ming, but to prevent Xiao Ming from dealing with Xiao Qi......

As for the role she played in it......

Thinking of Zhou Jingyu's hostile and fearful eyes every time she saw her, it was not clear what was going on.

This Xu Xiujin is really a ruthless character.

Fortunately, he is Xiao Qi's ally, if he is an enemy, it will be a real headache!

"What questions do you want to ask?" Xiao Qi had already sat on the chair next to him and asked casually.

Lin Zhaoyan was stunned, "Huh? ”

Xiao Qi pursed his lips. "I know you're not going to leave it at that, so I'll tell you myself instead of risking your chances to investigate." As he spoke, he paused, and said, "If you are willing to listen to me obediently, it will not cause me trouble, I am really afraid of you." ”

Lin Zhaoyan's face flushed, knowing that he was not only talking about today's incident, but also about the fact that she had smashed Lu Qiao and fled to Yanling.

Xiao Qi looked at her and sighed. "Zhao'er, I understand you and respect you, but you also have to think about it for me. Don't get an accident, live well, stay by my side, as long as that's it. Is that possible? ”

His eyes were indescribably sad and lonely, but he looked at her with a hint of anticipation and longing, as if a man on the verge of drowning was trying to grasp the last piece of driftwood.

It's hard to be an emperor. Standing on the top of the mountain, but so cold and lonely, who can understand him?

Lin Zhaoyan's heart was sour, and he nodded almost uncontrollably, "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”

She didn't want to think about it in the future, at least at this moment, she wanted to accompany him and heal the scars in his heart.

Xiao Qi smiled, and he could see that he was really happy, but he had a little more restraint and caution.

He didn't dare to laugh too presumptuously, for fear that God would deprive him of happiness if he found out.

"Well, why did you and Xiao Ming get into such a quarrel? If there is a way, we will solve it together. Lin Zhaoyan sat opposite Xiao Qi and asked with sincere concern.

"I put my mother and father under house arrest, Xiao Ming never knew, I lied to him that my father and mother went to the fiefdom, but unfortunately, the paper never contained the fire." Xiao Qi replied lightly, "Not only that, but he also knows the secret I have been hiding for nearly ten years, so he thinks I am going to kill his mother......"

Xiao Qi didn't say any more, but Lin Zhaoyan understood what he meant.

Because I am afraid that Xiao Qi will kill Princess Xiao, do you have to strike first?

I thought it was a deep brotherhood, but it turned out to be so fragile.

Lin Zhaoyan felt a pain in his heart, and immediately said: "No matter what, I believe in you, you will not kill your father and mother, you must have your reasons." ”

"Won't?" Xiao Qi laughed at herself, then looked at her and said, "Lin Zhaoyan, I will, if it weren't for you, I would definitely kill them mercilessly." ”

Because of her?

Lin Zhaoyan was taken aback, and was about to ask, but Xiao Qi said indifferently: "I hate them, I hate them to the core, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't be standing in this position today, so how could I let them go?" ”

"But Lin Zhaoyan," Xiao Qi looked at her firmly, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I'll become someone you don't know, I'm afraid that once I start, I can't even stop myself, I'm afraid that one day I will even hurt you, so I force myself to can't, no matter how much I hate, I have to keep the bottom line for you, I don't hurt my family, and I'm not afraid that I will hurt you one day." ”

"Xiao Qi ......" This is the answer that Lin Zhaoyan didn't expect, listening to him say these words in a few words, it is clear that everything is for her, but it doesn't seem to be worth mentioning.

"I ...... I won't blame you. She paused and said, "In the past, I suffered from gains and losses, and I thought too much and too complicated, and from now on I ......."

"I don't need to commit." Xiao Qi interrupted her, "As long as you can accompany me like this, it's enough." ”

He was afraid, afraid that she promised but couldn't do it.

Lin Zhaoyan's throat was astringent, and he opened his mouth and didn't say more.

Xiao Qi didn't speak again, and was silent for a moment before Lin Zhaoyan spoke again, "Then Princess Xiao ......"

"She's not my real mother." Xiao Qi replied succinctly.

Lin Zhaoyan's eyes widened instantly.

It's not that she hasn't guessed this reason, but because of the importance of the palace, the possibility of this matter is not great, so she didn't think about it deeply, and now being said so calmly by Xiao Qi is really unbelievable.

"I knew about it when I was nine years old, and my mother, who I always thought she had, only knew about it four years before me, because we were all kept in the dark by my father."

"Why?" Lin Zhaoyan was still incredulous, and hurriedly asked, "What about Princess Xiao and her own children?" ”

Since Princess Xiao has mistaken her for five years, it proves that she was pregnant with a child and gave birth smoothly.

"Dead." Xiao Qi tugged at the corners of his lips, "My father gave the child away in order to hide the truth, I went to check later, and said that he was dead, I heard that he was weak when he was young, and once he contracted typhoid fever, and he passed away after poor treatment, as if he was only three years old." The mother went to check after learning the truth, and knew that her child was very decadent for a while after the death, I didn't understand anything at that time, and I didn't know the time to appear in front of her to comfort her, but I didn't know that she had already hated me to the core. ”

It was also since then that his mother, who loved him the most, was gone, and she became a nightmare, destroying his body and mind all the time, and if he hadn't been tough enough, he would have died long ago.

He knew that Princess Xiao wanted revenge, wanted to avenge her dead son, so he took revenge on him.

Her life was probably distorted when he learned the truth, so he didn't blame her, he just had to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.

Lin Zhaoyan was speechless for a while.

If nothing else, that child should be Xiao Wangye's biological son.

He was willing to do it?!

It's no wonder that Princess Xiao hates Xiao Qi so much, after all, from another point of view, it was Xiao Qi who killed her child.

"Lord Xiao...... Why? ”

"Probably because of a past that even he doesn't want to look back on!"

Xiao Qi will never forget the past he heard when he was nine years old when he hid in the cabinet in the study.

That is the truth that he still remembers with nightmares.

Why did his mother, who had always loved him, speak ill of him, punch and kick him?

My father, who has always respected and worshipped, has done so many dirty things!

It almost overturned his nine-year perception in one fell swoop.

"My father loved a woman before, but the woman didn't love him, so he relied on his favor in front of his mother to snatch the woman into his hand, who knew that before he passed the door, the woman cried and begged him to fulfill her and her lover, and said that he already had the man's child, the father was naturally angry, but the woman forced him to die, he had no way to agree, who knows that the world is unpredictable, the woman was abandoned by her lover after that, and the only wish before her death was to hope that her father would take care of her child, In order to keep his promise, the father dropped the girl's child and the child, who happened to give birth on the same day as the family, and he probably thought that he could have both love and righteousness, but he did not know that when he used unclean means to break up others, the evil fruit had already been planted, and he would have to pay for it one day. ”

Lin Zhaoyan was speechless for a long time after hearing this.
