Chapter 193: Guilt

Cao Han suddenly understood-it turned out that what made him so angry was not Yongyue's death, but Chu Zhaoying's distant marriage......

When Cao Han finally figured this out, she suddenly laughed, but the smile was full of mockery, I don't know if she was mocking herself or others.

And this smile suddenly gave Luo Liyao a sense of foreboding in her heart.

This smile...... She's seen it before.

When she talked to Luo Chengjuan about whether Zhao Tianyuan and the child deserved to die, when Luo Chengjuan decided to tear his face with Luo Xizheng - Luo Chengjuan also showed such a smile.

At that time, Luo Liyao couldn't understand, let alone understand, why they had such a strange smile.

Yes, it's weird.

said it was a mockery, but it was more like self-deprecation; It is said to be conformist, but it is very out of place...... After thinking about it, it can only be described as "strange".

And according to the previous lesson, once this "strange" smile appears, something big is about to happen.

It doesn't seem to be a surprise at this point.

Cao Han smiled strangely, in addition to attracting the attention of Luo Liyao and others, it also attracted Chu Zhaoxi and Yongye to look sideways slightly-the former had a faint disgust in his face of boredom, and the latter had already made no secret of his hostility towards her, only staring at her fiercely, as if he wanted to use his gaze as a sharp blade to pierce and kill her.

"Black and white, clearly written—what else do you have to say?!" Chu Zhaoxi was furious, as if he didn't want to talk to her more nonsense, so he directly scolded her, "There is also the matter of Ah Yue's difficult birth-what else do you have to say?!" There are all human and material evidence, and you can't deny it at all! ”

Even when he was so irritable and asked, Cao Han did not stop the smile on his face, as if he was a different person, he sat on the ground a little out of shape, holding the yellowed letter he had just picked up from the ground with one hand, and gently stroking the gold brick on the ground with the other, but his eyes kept looking at the unclear reflection in the gold brick.

“...... Can't deny it? Cao Han tilted his head slightly, as if he had listened carefully to his two questions, and smiled slightly on his pale face, laughing at himself, "But Your Majesty's appearance of asking the guilt of the deputy Xingshi has never thought of giving the concubine a chance to justify......

Chu Zhaoxi frowned, as if he wanted to yell at her a few words, but when he met her slightly raised gaze, he suddenly lost his words.

That's a look that you can describe in words......

The unspeakable helplessness, the affection that cannot be easily expressed, the grievances buried deep in the heart, the self-sentimental ridicule - all emotions are condensed into a kind of sympathy at this moment

The complexity of the set.

The moment he saw her eyes, Chu Zhaoxi suddenly remembered the night when the snake tide broke out, and she stopped herself deadly.

What Cao Han's appearance was when he was young, and whether he was also like the eternal night and Luo Liyao who are now in their prime, Chu Zhaoxi can't remember it clearly. The impression of Cao Han seems to be because she has been working hard for the harem for a long time, her figure is thinner than he remembers, her shoulder blades are also a little prominent under the cloud sleeves of the queen's dress, and her face also shows an old state that cannot be covered by some good fat powder......

Thinking of this, a few tangled emotions appeared in Chu Zhaoxi's heart.

yes, they're not the younger ones anymore.

People born in the royal family are born with the knowledge that their marriage is closely related to the fortune of the country, and they can't make their own decisions at all. So when Chu Zhaoxi knew that his future wife was Cao Han, he didn't have any special emotions - for him, it would naturally be good if his wife could be dignified, but after all, he just needed a woman worthy of being his future queen. Who this person is, whether it is Cao Han of the scholarly family or Yongyue of the military general's family, there is no fundamental difference for him.

But on the day of the wedding, the person he saw first was Yongyue.

I don't know if it's because of the shocking glance of lifting the hijab, or because of the puzzled eyes of the shy girl under the hijab, knowing that many years after Yiren's death, Chu Zhaoxi will often recall the appearance of seeing her for the first time that night, and the sound of his violent and chaotic heartbeat at that time - the brilliance of the cloth, the brilliance of the Yaobi. Wear gold and emerald jewelry, decorated with pearls to show off your body (1)...... Probably only such a beautiful sentence can be used to praise a beauty like Yongyue.

When I was young, I didn't know what love was, and I only had a preconceived idea that the person I saw at first sight was the most exciting for me.

At that time, Yongyue was already famous in Cangxia City for her outstanding appearance and demeanor - maybe she was not the most beautiful woman in the world, but when she was dressed up and shy and timidly unveiled by Chu Zhaoxi in the newlywed cave room, for Chu Zhaoxi, her dazzling elegance was already unparalleled and unparalleled.

At that time, he only seemed to know Yongyue, even when he knew that this was the fiancée of the imperial brother, he felt a little glad that he was wrong in the end.

For Cao Han, he was also ashamed in his heart - so after Yongyue, Cao Han became the best candidate for the queen's position, even if Yongye was favored again later, he never thought of shaking Cao Han's queen's throne.

But now Yongye told him that Yongyue's death was inseparable from Cao Han, and even Cao Han's long-distance marriage with the eldest sister was Cao Han's work behind his back.

At that time, Yongyue became his original wife, occupying the position that belonged to Cao Han

, if Cao Han has no resentment in his heart, I'm afraid no one will believe it. And it was Chu Zhaoxi and Yongyue who were ashamed of her back then, if it was really her attack on Yongyue in order to seek the position of queen, she would also think that it was to take back what belonged to her, in a sense, she didn't seem to be wrong at all.

So what really made Chu Zhaoxi angry was the fact that Cao Han wrote about the instruction to publicize the news of "Zhaoying's eldest princess is happy with the prince of Tianqi".

Cao Han also realized this, and when he looked at Eternal Night, the smile on his face deepened, as if to say, "It seems that you didn't really win in the end."

Yongye frowned, turned to Chu Zhaoxi, whose attitude seemed to have been somewhat loosened, and continued: "Your Majesty - the Cao family killed Empress Yuan, caused the eldest prince to lose his mother since he was a child, and also provoked the eldest princess to marry far away, causing her to die in a foreign country...... Such a poisonous woman should be killed immediately to set an example! ”

"Concubine Yong, let me remind you - no matter what, this palace is still the queen, so you call this palace 'Cao's so rudely?" Cao Han laughed and laughed, and sneered at each other without showing weakness, "Find an unknown woman, do you want to coerce the emperor and queen?" ”

"This is clearly Skynet's restoration but not leakage, it is you who have done something wrong, and sooner or later someone will expose it!" Hearing this, Yongye sneered and said fiercely, "Those letters written by you are the ones you coerced the eldest princess Zhaoying to marry behind your back, and single-handedly contributed to the tragedy of her death in a foreign country-how can you quibble?!" ”

"Single-handedly contributed to the tragedy?" Cao Han seemed to have heard something extremely funny, so he laughed a few times directly, and asked, "Do you think this is a tragedy?" Haven't you heard Princess Zhenli say - Princess Zhaoying is martyred! ”

Yongye really couldn't understand her train of thought: "If you hadn't fanned the flames behind your back, would the eldest princess Zhaoying end up like this?" ”

"A woman like you who lives only for the good of the family...... Where do you know what true feelings are? Cao Han only looked at her slightly, and didn't even tilt his head, he looked dignified and solemn, and only turned his gaze to Chu Zhaoxi again, "The concubine was just looking at the eldest princess Zhaoying trapped by love at that time, and she really couldn't bear to think about it day and night, and gradually lost weight...... The concubine was just a prince's concubine at that time, and she was soft-spoken, so there was really no better way, so she had to make this decision and do her part for the eldest princess Zhaoying——"

"Bunch of gibberish!" Yongye couldn't listen to it anymore, and interrupted her, "Do you still think that you are bent on the eldest princess?" You just resented the mistakes of the wedding ceremony back then, resented my sister for occupying the position of the crown princess that belonged to you, and complained that the eldest princess at that time failed to help you speak, so you came up with this way to take revenge on her! You have your own selfish intentions! ”

"Nonsense? So when you say these things, are you justified? Aren't you blindly speculating with your own villainous heart? Cao Han raised his eyebrows, he didn't even bother to look at her, he just thought she was a vexatious madman, and looked at Chu Zhaoxi fixedly, "Your Majesty, such a virtuous king, naturally you won't start to ask questions indiscriminately because of your nonsense......"

"You!"

Chu Zhaoxi's heart was so confused that he really couldn't listen to the conversation between the two, so he had to stop immediately: "Okay!" ”

Cao Han and Yongye were immediately silent, but Yongye didn't have the indifference of the previous victory, frowning tightly, as if thinking about what to do next.

Luo Liyao watched the reversal of the situation with cold eyes, and the dissatisfaction with Cao Han in her heart was faintly added.

"Look at this posture, this Shenchu monarch seems to have moved some kind of compassion......" Chu Yang whispered coldly behind her back, causing her to look back and stare at her.

But he didn't mind at all, and even smiled lightly at her.

Luo Liyao didn't want to pay attention to him, and continued to set her eyes on Chu Zhaoxi.

I have to say that although Chu Yang is too bad at looking at his face when he speaks, what he said is indeed true - Chu Zhaoxi's face is slightly condensed, occasionally frowning, opening his mouth to speak, and stopping, he looks extremely entangled.

You can see that he is shaken.

But what was he shaking for, Luo Liyao didn't know.

Not to mention Luo Liyao, even Chu Zhaoxi himself was a little confused - it stands to reason that Yongye had already clearly put all the human and material evidence of what Cao Han had done in front of him, and he only needed to think about how to solve these things in a logical and non-royal manner, and there was no need to worry about it at all.

But when he saw Cao Han's eyes just now, a sense of guilt for Cao Han suddenly appeared in his heart, which was even stronger than when he and Yongyue had just become husband and wife.
