Mu Qianxia has looked very haggard in the past two days, and when she dreamed back at midnight, she was awakened by nightmares again and again, lying on the bed covered in sweat, lying with her eyes open until dawn, and could no longer fall asleep.

As soon as she closes her eyes now, Shuo Feng will appear in front of her with her eyes closed, lying cold in her arms, she even dreamed more than once that Shuo Feng appeared in front of her covered in blood, saying that he died so miserably, saying that if she didn't listen to Gu Li's words and leave, he wouldn't have to die, he really wanted to live, he was still so young, and he still had many wishes that had not been fulfilled.

On this day, the sun was sunny outside, and Mu Qianxia had been lying in bed for so many days, and she was almost useless, so she planned to go out for a walk.

Walking and walking, Mu Qianxia involuntarily walked to Qingquan Pavilion. Mu Qianxia hesitated for a moment, but finally raised her legs and stepped in.

There is no doubt about entering the forest and seeing people in the forest. Gu Li was lying comfortably on the bluestone platform in the courtyard at the moment, his eyes half-closed with a comfortable expression, enjoying the warm sunshine. But Mu Qianxia knew that he was not asleep, so he stepped forward and stood next to the stone platform.

After a while, Gu Li opened his eyes as if he was aware of it, but he didn't make any moves, just smiled softly at Mu Qianxia, and that smile bloomed in the fragrance of green shadows and bamboos, like moonlight: "Princess, is there anything wrong?" ”

Mu Qianxia looked down at him and was silent for a long time before he asked the question he had held in his heart for a long time: "Gu Li, Shuofeng is dead, why have I never seen you sad?" "Anyway, Shuo Feng has also followed Gu Li for a long time, protected Gu Li for a long time, and also done a lot of things for him.

Although she was trapped in her heart knot before, she couldn't notice Gu Li's abnormality, but after reminiscing about it these days, she still couldn't help but feel a little chilled for Shuo Feng: Shuo Feng was given up like this? Gu Li accepted it calmly? No worries and no pain?

Gu Li was still smiling, and said: "Princess, I'm not sad or sad, you can say that I am ruthless, or you can say that I am ruthless, but if I make a grief-stricken look, it will be ridiculous, and I will be seen as a joke in vain." ”

Gu Li smiled leisurely, his eyes were black and white, but they reflected the ruthlessness like ice and snow: "Princess, I am a ruthless person, and all I can care about now is you, princess." ”

Mu Qianxia stared at the ice and snow in Gu Li's eyes fixedly, and only slowly spoke for a long time, and said softly: "Gu Li, you said that you are a ruthless person and don't care about Shuofeng's life and death, but is everything you say to me true?" ”

Who knows, if he also said anything to Shuofeng in the past. Did you say exactly the same thing you just said to her?

Now that she is standing in front of Gu Li, he can naturally and calmly say that he cares, and he can also show an affectionate appearance, but if she unfortunately dies one day, will he also be so casual and indifferent, smiling indifferently and ruthlessly, saying to the other person standing next to her, "I am a ruthless person"?

Mu Qianxia's heart contracted slightly, and the faint chill slowly but firmly surrounded her, even if she was surrounded by the sun at the moment, warm, she also felt a bone-chilling cold, radiating from the inside out.

Mu Qianxia couldn't help but want to hug herself tightly.

There was a biting coldness in his chest, but Mu Qianxia's face was calm, and he looked at Gu Li's eyes without blinking.

Gu Li's expression remained unchanged, and his movements did not change in the slightest, he lay on the bluestone platform with a leisurely expression, his posture was lazy to the extreme, but his eyes were overflowing with material and lonely cold, he still chuckled coldly, and said softly: "Princess, do you want to see me heartbroken for the sake of Shuofeng, crying liver and intestines?" But the princess ......," his voice was soft and low, but there was a sharp edge in his words, "even if I was heartbroken and grieved, what was the use? And who shall I regard as my enemy, and whom shall I regard as my enemy? What am I going to avenge for? And what will you use to wash away your resentment? Even if I do my best to avenge Shuofeng with my own life, what is the use? The deceased is gone, and the wind will never return. ”

Mu Qianxia was shocked by Gu Li's series of rhetorical questions, and was speechless. yes, what's the use of his sadness? Even if you hate it, what if you hate it? The person who killed Shuo Feng is the one who buried ** under the stage, and she is the most important reason for it, and whether she can find the mastermind behind the scenes, even if she finds it, does she want Gu Li to really go to these people for revenge? Could it be that in her subconscious, she actually hoped that Gu Li would resent her?

Gu Li didn't hate her, she would be unwilling to Shuofeng's death, but if he hated her, she herself would be sad because of it.

On the one hand, her unwillingness, on the other hand, her sadness, how should she let Gu Li choose?

Mu Qianxia stood beside him in a daze, and said silently: Yes, in fact, she is the least qualified person among all of them to question him. At that time, why did she choose to keep her distance from Gu Li because of the words of the imperial brother? Why didn't she listen to Gu Li's words and leave with him?

If she wasn't so useless and self-righteous, such a tragedy wouldn't have happened, right?

Gu Li caught a glimpse of Mu Qianxia's slightly changing expression, he suddenly smiled softly again, and said, "Princess, I won't do those useless things, and I will be extremely stingy to give excess love and hate." He stood up calmly and slowly, and the place where he was standing was almost close to Mu Qianxia.

Mu Qianxia looked at Gu Li, who was almost close to herself, her eyes looked at the white and smooth chin and thin and sexy lips in front of her, as well as his beautiful neck line, but her expression was blank.

Gu Li took two steps back, turned around, and said lightly: "Princess, I think you must know very well the truth of constantly suffering from it, those who hold authority and stand at the tip of power will inevitably hold a sharp sword of life and death. And the sword has two edges, one side faces the enemy, and the other side is towards itself. Even though we have all kinds of reluctance and helplessness in our hearts, when we want to achieve a certain goal, we should still abandon some unnecessary things. If you can't be ruthless right now, I think you'd better get out of this place as soon as possible. ”

If you want to be gentle and kind, you want to be in a high position, and you want to protect everyone, where in this world is there such a cheap thing?

Even he and Mu Chenyi couldn't do this. What's more, just a little summer?

Mu Chenyi foresaw these early, so he didn't want to be involved in these too many rights, and turned a blind eye, but now he was still forced to enter the game. This is the helplessness of those in high positions, even if you are unwilling to do it, someone will force you and push you to do it. And he has already seen through this truth, and he was involved in this power struggle too early, and now he has entered the game too deeply, and he can't retreat, and he is also unwilling to retreat.

What's more, there are nine times out of ten things that are unsatisfactory in life, and nothing can never be perfect. Everyone gains something and loses something, and he knew it a long time ago.

Gu Li's words seemed to linger in this air for a long time before they reached Mu Qianxia's ears. After that, it came to mind again and around When Mu Qianxia realized the meaning of his words, Gu Li's figure had already disappeared, and he didn't know where he went.

Mu Qianxia didn't look for him again, she stood motionless in place, and stood silently for a while, until the fragrance and loneliness of the bamboo forest surrounded her, and the clear breath washed away her chaotic soul for many days, and after a long time, she turned around and walked briskly towards the place where Shuofeng lived before.

A side courtyard of Qingquan Pavilion is where Shuofeng lived before his death, and at this time there is Shuofeng's clothes mound in the courtyard. In that fire, although Mu Qianxia was rescued by Gu Li, Shuo Feng's body was left there. She had asked people after the fire had been extinguished, but no one had ever seen Shuofeng's corpse, presumably his corpse had already been reduced to ashes with the raging flames.

And after coming back, Gu Li asked people to sort out Shuofeng's relics before his death, took a set of clothes, shoes and socks, Shuofeng's commonly used utensils and his favorite items, and set up a mound in this side courtyard.

Originally, it was just arranged by Gu Li, but now, this clothed mound seems to have become an excellent object for Mu Qianxia to confide in.

Mu Qianxia stood in front of the tomb, lit a cigarette about half a foot thick, and inserted it in front of his tombstone, so that the fragrance slowly dispersed in the air along with the smoke.

When the smoke was about to burn out, Mu Qianxia slowly opened his mouth and said softly: "Shuofeng, this is the first time I worship you, and it is estimated that it will be the last." Shuofeng, because of my willfulness and self-righteousness, let you die to save me, I can't stand you. But I'm about to be sorry for you again, it's my incompetence, not only can't protect myself but also affects you, and I can't even find the mastermind behind this matter, let alone avenge you? I'm a princess, but I don't have the ability to match my status, am I a bad princess? In the eyes of others, I, the princess, have nothing but the favor and protection of the royal brother, just a joke and a waste. Shuofeng, this is what I owe you, and I am afraid that only the next life will be able to repay you. You can blame me, hate me, because it's my choice. "She won't come back to this place in the future.

After saying that, Mu Qianxia bowed deeply, then turned around and left categorically.
