Night.

Mu Qianxia suddenly felt that her wound was so painful that she left, as if it was inflamed. Although the medicine Gu Li gave her was good, it could only speed up the healing of the wound, as if it could not cure inflammation, she suddenly remembered that Gu Li had told her that there was a flower in the backyard that could reduce inflammation, so Mu Qianxia endured the pain and went out.

Liuli slept soundly, Mu Qianxia didn't want to disturb her rest, so she walked to the backyard alone with a lantern.

Although the candle was lit in the black light, Mu Qianxia forgot the exact location of the flower, so she searched for a long time in the backyard before she could barely find the flower.

But her hand had just stretched out, and before she could pick the flowers, she was disrupted by the sudden sound of footsteps behind her.

Mu Qianxia suddenly turned around with the lamp, and when she saw Gu Li's dark eyes staring at her, handsome and beautiful, even at night, she couldn't hide his grace. At this moment, Gu Li was staring at her deadly, and her eyes were staring at her a little dazed.

Mu Qianxia frowned, "Gu Li, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you running around?" Is it scary here? ”

Gu Li's disordered breathing seemed to have been silent for a while, "shallow......"

Her breath faltered, and her eyes widened.

"Gu Li, what's wrong with you?" Her keen intuition told Mu Qianxia that the Gu Li in front of her was different from what she thought she had seen.

"Nothing. I just couldn't sleep and walked around, but I didn't expect to meet the princess here. What is the princess doing here? Gu Li quickly returned to normal, as if what he had just done was just Mu Qianxia's illusion.

"The wound is a little painful, it seems to be inflamed, thinking of the flowers you told me before to cure inflammation, I thought of coming over and picking a few."

Gu Li looked at Mu Qianxia's thin figure, pale cheeks, and good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, "It's good that the princess leaves this kind of trivial matter to her subordinates, you still have injuries on your body now, if something happens again, who can afford this responsibility?"

"It's nothing, it's just a small injury. They are sleeping soundly, I can't bear to disturb them, and I can still see this beautiful night scene when I come out, why not? Mu Qianxia smiled lightly.

Gu Li stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pick the flowers she needed for Mu Qianxia, and after carefully telling Mu Qianxia the precautions, he sent Mu Qianxia back.

When he arrived at the door, Mu Qianxia looked at Gu Li with a worried look, so he stopped, raised his head, looked at Gu Li's dark and deep eyes, and said softly, "Gu Li, do you have anything on your mind, if you can say it, I can be your tree hole." ”

Gu Li was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Princess, what will you do if your marriage is canceled?"

Mu Qianxia murmured softly, as if she was muttering to herself, "What will I do?" Well...... Maybe I will obey the arrangement of the royal brother, be an obedient pawn, and marry the person that the imperial brother needs to woo, isn't this the fate of our princesses? ”

"Princess, what if I say that I can change your fate? Would you want to marry someone you like? ”

"Maybe." Mu Qianxia said lightly.

"Why?" Gu asked puzzledly, "Isn't it good to marry someone you like?" ”

"Well, it's good, but I'm a very selfish person, if the person I like doesn't like me, or he doesn't marry me voluntarily, then I'd rather not marry, I don't want to keep someone who doesn't love me for the rest of my life. My mother, uh, my mother said when I was a child that if a woman wants to marry in the future, she must marry someone who likes her, so that she will not feel very tired. Men have three wives and four concubines, if he doesn't like you anymore, you will have a hard time in the future, and every day is like a year. So, if the person I like doesn't like me, then I don't like him, because it's really tiring to like someone. If I had to choose, I'd rather marry someone who likes me than someone I like, but doesn't like me. Maybe you'll call me selfish, maybe you'll laugh at me for being cowardly, but that's who I am, that's what I decide. Mu Qianxia's voice was very light, but it showed unhesitating determination.

The phrase "this is me, this is my decision" has been lingering in Gu Li's ears, so is this the reason why you married my "good" imperial brother without hesitation and without hesitation?

The corners of Gu Li's mouth hooked and laughed at himself.

What a "don't marry someone I like, but don't like me", Mu Qianxia, your heart is really ruthless. Before you have done anything, you have sealed the road ahead and eliminated that person forever.

"Gu Li, why are you suddenly asking this?" Mu Qianxia asked puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's just that I thought of it when I saw you."

"Oh." Obviously, this sentence is perfunctory to her.

"Princess, the night is cold, and the dew is even deeper, and the princess should still be nervous. Also, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, let them do it, you are a princess, they are subordinates, this is what they should do. I know that the princess is kind, but I can't break the rules and lose her dignity because of this, and let people laugh at it for nothing. The princess should remember that you represent not only yourself, but also the entire Western Chu royal family. ”

"Oh, I know, I won't be like this in the future."

"Princess, go back and rest, good dreams."

"Hmm. You should go back early, too. With that, Mu Qianxia pushed open the door and walked in.

Just as Mu Qianxia was about to turn around and close the door, behind him, Gu Li's voice came faintly, "Princess, if one day, you find out that I deceived you without permission, will you forgive me?"

Mu Qianxia's body stiffened for a long time before he said lightly, "No." ”

Although there are only two words, it reflects Mu Qianxia's inner resoluteness.

"Gu Li, you are the only person I trust with all my heart, so, please never deceive me, otherwise, I will never believe you again." After speaking, Mu Qianxia didn't wait for Gu Li to make any response, so he closed the door and walked into the house.

It's just that when Mu Qianxia turned around and closed the door, he seemed to meet Gu Li's dark gaze, but the sky outside was too dim, like an illusion.

Outside the house, Gu Li stood motionless at the door for a long time, until the dew wet his clothes, and he didn't turn around and leave until the sky broke slightly.

Princess's Mansion, Qingquan Pavilion.

"Childe, let's do it now, isn't it a little early?" The one who spoke was Shuo Feng, who died in the explosion to save Mu Qianxia at that time.

"No, it won't. Everything is ready, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid my "good" imperial brother will turn this capital upside down. ”

"What Childe said is that his subordinates are not considerable. The subordinates infiltrated Prince Yi's mansion and Prince Layi joined. ”

"Hmm." After that, Gu Li waved his hand and let Shuo Feng retreat, as if he was tired and didn't want to talk more.

It's just that after Shuo Feng left, Gu Li sat there alone, and the words "If you lie to me, I will never believe you again" kept echoing in his mind, and when he thought of Mu Qianxia's decisive words, Gu Li's heart felt a faint pain.

He has never been an emotional person, and it is impossible for him to give up because of Mu Qianxia's words. Therefore, even if she will hate him and never forgive him, he will still do it, because he has long represented more than himself. This game, from the very beginning, there was no turning back.

…………

Prince Yi's Mansion.

Prince Yi was awakened by Xiao Si outside the door when he arrived at the time of the daily court, and the sky outside was still gray at the moment, Prince Yi got up and lit the candle, and found that there was a person standing in the house at some point.

The man was wrapped in a large black cloak, his face unclear, and the cold air that emanated from his body made him look more like a messenger from hell.

Prince Yi's original residual sleepiness was also completely awakened at this moment, and he took a deep breath to suppress the fear in his heart. He used to be a martial arts practitioner, and after changing his god from the initial fright, he took a vantage point while not moving, and asked loudly, "Who is coming?" Why are you looking for this king?"

Shuo Feng watched Prince Yi's every move, but he didn't stop it, just stood aside and stood quietly. At this time, hearing Prince Yi's question, he replied in a suppressed voice: "It doesn't matter who I am, the prince just needs to know that I am the prince's person." Now there is an excellent opportunity in front of the prince, which can not only let the prince avenge the killing of his beloved daughter, but also allow the prince to leap to the position of one person and above ten thousand people, and be admired and worshiped by ten thousand people, I wonder if the prince is willing?"

"The prince wants to rebel?" Prince Yi exclaimed.

"Shhh, keep your voice low, if you let outsiders hear it, you'll be killed." It's just that Shuofeng's casual attitude doesn't seem to be afraid of spreading the news.

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the emperor?" Prince Yi asked rhetorically.

"How could it be, such a good opportunity was placed in front of the prince, how could the prince refuse? Besides, the prince has long had such an idea in his heart, but he suffers from not having such an opportunity, isn't he?" Shuo Feng hooked his lips and smiled.

Faced with the other party's idea of seeing through him, Prince Yi was secretly shocked in his heart, but he who had been in the upper position for a long time already clearly knew how to control his emotions, and he continued to say quietly: "This king is loyal to the emperor, and the sky can learn from it, how can he have such disloyal thoughts?" His voice was sonorous and powerful, as if to show that what he had just said was true.

Shuo Feng secretly scolded "old fox" in his heart: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty is indecisive now, favors Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and even sacrifices your daughter for her. He has no ambitions and is content with one side, but Dong Qin is watching from the sidelines, at this critical moment, if there is no prince to come forward, I am afraid that the people will be in dire straits. Presumably, with the kindness of the prince, he can't bear to see the people displaced and their wives separated due to the war. Therefore, for the sake of the people's peace and contentment, I hope that the prince will not hesitate to join the prince's camp, and now His Majesty has been sitting in this position for too long, and it is time for a change. ”

Prince Yi pretended to hesitate, but finally closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and sighed, "That's it, for the happiness of the people in the world, even if this king is infamous as a rebellious minister and thief?" This king once promised his father that he would firmly guard this picturesque country and not let the people live a life of exile again. This is the king's promise to his father, and it is also a promise to himself and to the people of the world. ”

Heh, Shuo Feng secretly sneered. If he hadn't understood Prince Yi's inner thoughts, he would probably have been moved by his impassioned feelings.

"I once again thanked the prince for his great kindness on behalf of the people. Now, I still need to go back to regain my sight to the prince, and I will ask the prince for the specific details. ”

"Okay."

After that, Shuofeng didn't stay long, and as soon as his figure moved, he disappeared from this room out of thin air. Prince Yi looked at Shuofeng's departing figure, and his eyes were secretive.

Prince's Mansion.

"Prince, Prince Yi has agreed to join our camp, and now everything is ready, just wait for your order, Prince."

"Hahaha, it's done, this palace really didn't mistake you. Send someone to tell the queen mother that she can do it. ”

"Yes"
