His fingers caress the side of his pale face unscrupulously, and he said quietly: "What I like the most is the broken beauty, and the fragmented desperate situation makes people feel that they can't take their eyes off." ”

Gently set aside his malicious gentleness, his eyes closed lightly, and he blinked again, revealing a pleasant color: "Your Highness's love, Gu Qingwan still doesn't dare to be." ”

She is actually not sad at all, after all, she has no love for Ji Xu. She was just too surprised, she thought that Ji Xu and Guo Guifei should have been cut off as soon as the concubine entered the palace, but she didn't want to still have an inextricable connection.

What she didn't expect was that Ji Xu, such a free and indifferent person, would really lose her sense of proportion because the old love was unforgettable.

Now, Ji Xu and the Guo family are only temporary allies, and once they defeat the common enemy, they will definitely turn against each other. After all, there are only long-term interests and no long-term friends, once the two parties tear their faces, if Ji Xu is soft-hearted for a while and can't bear to compete for power with the five princes and the Guo family, then it must be Ji Xu who loses in the end, if he loses, his fate may not be better than in his previous life.

No matter what, Gu Qingwan can't sit idly by, and when she finds an opportunity, she must remind Ji Xu that at the moment of the great cause, she must not sink into the private feelings of her children.

"Madame, have you forgotten that you lost your bet? With such a bold refusal of this palace, are you really so disregard for life? ”

"How dare Gu Qingwan be so indifferent to her own life," this feminine and unpredictable demon will pinch his weakness if he loses his sense of proportion, "What His Highness ignores, others regard as treasures." ”

The one who really cares about people's lives is the person in front of him.

"Madame is still so eloquent, it seems that she has not yet reached a desperate situation?" How can you push her into a corner? He suddenly had an urge to break her wings, erase her faint smile, and completely ruin her unobtrusive pride and self-confidence.

couldn't help it, and whispered: "This palace is very much looking forward to seeing Madame's struggle in a desperate situation......"

"His Royal Highness's interest really makes Gu Qingwan sigh, but it's a pity that my mortal body is difficult to share His Highness's happiness." That kind of extreme cruel fun, I feel chilled in my ears when I hear it, and the kind of cold that is so cold in my heart that it rushes into my heart and "freezes" people in every way.

"Then what should the lady do if she loses today?" changed his method and embarrassed the other party again, just wanting to appreciate that moment of despair again.

Touched his shoulder with one hand, pulled up the broken collar, his face remained unchanged, and he was still calm: "Is it me who lost today?" His eyes turned lightly and stared at the other party, "Today can only be said to be neither losing nor winning, Gu Qingwan doesn't know what she has done to make His Highness have such a big misunderstanding." ”

"Huh?" Ji Sheng raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

"My beloved has always been just my husband, we have grown up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, he is my wishful husband. As for His Royal Highness King Yujiang, he is just my friend, and we have no personal affection for children, so I am afraid that he has disappointed His Highness. Gu Qingwan was leisurely and calm, and said eloquently, "It's Your Highness, I heard that before the concubine entered the palace, His Royal Highness pursued the concubine." ”

Ji Sheng snorted lightly: "So what? At most, it is an important chess piece, which can affect his mood.

"Royal face, even if His Royal Highness doesn't care, presumably many people will care, such as ...... Emperor. ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Qingwan looked at the other party's suddenly gloomy face with a light smile, smiled secretly in her heart, and continued: "Your Highness, if you wait until the emperor comes to care about this royal face, won't Your Highness be embarrassed?" After all, in the eyes of the world, that is the woman that His Royal Highness once pursued. ”

With the pride of Ji Sheng's prince, how can he become the laughing stock of the world.

"Madame is sharp at the moment, and it seems that she has great confidence in getting out of here safely." The light flashed slightly, because of the other party's refusal to surrender, displeasure rose again with the killing intent.

"Your Highness, tell you a secret," the innocent tone was like an innocent girl, under Ji Sheng's slight smile, Gu Qingwan approached the other party, "There were two people under the dragon chair just now, do you believe it?" ”

His expression froze, Ji Sheng seemed to be shocked and angry, and said coldly: "You think you can deceive me with this?" ”

"The world is like chess, Your Highness, one wrong step, one wrong step. Your Highness is so wise that he should know what is right to do. Today, she has exhausted all her skills in this battle, so she can get out of this palace safely, and she is so down, her heart can't help but be a little desolate.

Ji Sheng was silent, staring at Gu Qingwan's face, wanting to see whether what she said was true or false, she locked her eyes for a while, and regained her smile: "Interesting, madam, this palace has really benefited a lot from meeting you in the Imperial Cadre Palace today." ”

"Please Madame, remember, there is a gambling contract between us, as for what kind of price Madame will pay in the end, this palace tells you today, you will regret it for the rest of your life...... The moment you regret stepping into the Imperial Palace, you can't help yourself. ”

"Today's incident, if this palace hears half a rumor, the consequences will be catastrophic, and it is not something that Madame can bear. Don't forget, be cautious. ”

Until the moment she walked out of the palace, the cold voice seemed to be still echoing in her ears, Gu Qingwan unconsciously circled herself, and when she stepped out of this quiet palace, there was no one around, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and the silence made her heart palpitate.

*****

The cool breeze carries the sweetness of the green leaves and herbs, blowing across the surface of the lake and blowing through waves of shallow waves. Guo Guifei stood in the courtyard, infinitely weak, and said tactfully to the people in front of her.

Graceful and tender, the frowning eyebrows are like a crescent moon, the lips that are more delicate than flowers open and close, and the laughter like a warbler cries from time to time, the beautiful posture is enough to soften anyone's heart. Why is it that when I see it at this moment, my heart is not shocked?

A long time ago, he had been moved by this woman, and he had thought about sincerely asking for marriage, but now his heart had long been filled by another woman, and that woman brought him a heart that he had never experienced.

Ji Xu smiled, a little surprised by his mentality, this woman who once touched his heart, but now it is close at hand, far away in the world. With a smile, it is already a matter of fact.

Suddenly, a beautiful shadow rushed into his arms, Ji Xu looked down at the delicate and peerless face, frowned, and said coldly: "Niangniang, what are you doing, let go." I wanted to reach out and push it away, but I found that she was so tightly entangled, and for a while, I couldn't break free.

Ji Xu...... How ruthless are you, you left me alone in this jackal's den, but you don't care about my life or death, knowing that someone is going down to our mother and son, I can't rely on you for a while? ”

I saw a gesture of pity, and I was touching.

With more strength in his hand, Ji Xu grabbed her arm, pushed away a foot away, and his indifferent eyes flashed sharply: "Niangniang, since you know that this is a world of deceit, you should know what is appropriate." ”

Guo Guifei was in the autumn water, but at the moment, she was full of tears, and looked at Ji Xu with resentment: "What do you mean by that?" There was a little tremor in the soft voice.

The handsome young man stood in the courtyard, calmly stroked his sleeves, wiped away the traces of the entanglement just now, and showed his elegant demeanor, taking a closer look at Guo Guifei, as if he sighed.

"Guifei Niangniang, just now from the female official who tested the medicine, it has been found out that it is Concubine Li, who is in the medicine of the five princes," stopped Guo Guifei's move of wanting to interject, Ji Xu's voice was a little colder, "At the same time, I found a very interesting thing. ”

"What's the matter?" The soft voice also regained its composure, and asked gracefully.

"Don't you know, it's strange," Ji Xu laughed lowly, "She said that she once looked for your concubine Niangniang and reported to you about Mu Canglan in the medicine, but you gave her a sum of money and asked her to keep it a secret, and you personally brought this medicine to the little prince." ”

The wind suddenly stopped, and the tenderness on the still ethereal and beautiful face of the concubine remained unchanged, but there was more hidden pain, the smile spread, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a beautiful arc: "I want to harm my own child, give my own child and poisonous medicine, so you will condemn me now?" ”

sighed lightly, took a look at the scenery in the courtyard again, and the last trace of affection seemed to dissolve into this invisible year, lowered his eyes, and groaned coldly: "Don't worry, that female drug tester will never speak again." You are very safe, I warned Niangniang for the last time, in the harem, it is changing rapidly, even if you want to do it yourself, you must erase all traces and save people from talking. ”

The words are serious, teaching the art of fighting, but the more the concubine listens, the more frightened she becomes, her eyes widen, and she looks at each other in astonishment......

"I won't be able to help you anymore, I'll do it myself."

No, the only light in her world seemed to be about to dissipate into invisibility, and there was a panic in her heart, she suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Ji Xu's sleeve that wanted to turn around: "Have you forgotten your previous promise, and you will shine on me for the rest of my life......"

"Do you still need me to take care of it? Every time I come to this backyard, all the palace maids and chamberlains are nowhere to be seen, and no one else intrudes, Niangniang," grabbed her hand and slowly shook it off her sleeve, "Your power in the palace has reached such an unbreakable point, where do you need external help?" ”

The last entanglement has been cut, and she glanced at the woman in front of her deeply, Ji Xu frowned, smiled lightly, and the coldness in her eyes prevented the concubine from wanting to step forward to stop her again, and finally turned around and left.

Ji Xu quickened his pace a little, anxious to leave Jingyi Palace, and saw the palace maid who came to hold up the palace lamp for him, only to find that it was late, and secretly sighed that the stay was too long, turned his head, looked at the right side in a little surprise, his eyes were cold, and asked the palace maid beside him: "What is that palace?" "I had never noticed that there was such an inconspicuous palace directly opposite this courtyard.

The palace maid looked to the right in surprise, and after a glance, she replied with a smile: "Lord, that is the Chonghua Palace, which used to be the place where the former Queen Mother worshiped the Buddha." ”

"Can you see the view of the courtyard from that hall?"

"The prince laughed," the palace maid laughed innocently, "how can you see the scenery here from such a distance?" The prince was too worried. ”

On the steps in front of the Jingyi Hall with a cool breeze, Ji Xu's sharp eyes were hidden in an indifferent smile, illusory and unreal, and he brushed his sleeves away.
