The sky was getting darker, as if the night was coming, which was depressing. The tips of his fingers holding on to the window lattice were blue and white, and his heart seemed to fall into a bottomless black hole, sinking endlessly. She steadied herself, and through the gap in the window, she saw that Zongzheng had a calm and indifferent expression looking at the ripples of the water in the hot spring pool due to the wind, and she couldn't tell what he was thinking.

The Nine Emperor Princes hesitated and probed, "Seventh Brother, you and Liyue ...... You give her ......" He was still speaking, Zong Zheng turned around without worry, his face was unwavering, and said lightly: "It's her...... Willing! ”

What a simple and light-hearted sentence, as if talking about the most ordinary thing. The cold wind passed through the window, blowing on the woman's pale cheeks in the room, the woman's nails were unconsciously deeply embedded in the window wood, and her slender body trembled slightly in the wind. She opened her mouth and took a deep breath, and the cold wind was like an ice blade, instantly penetrating her internal organs, cutting off the heart that was so cold that it couldn't be worse.

Willing?! Yes, who is she resentful? She pressed her hand tightly, tightly on her suffocating chest, as if the force was going to crush her heart through her skin. She bent over, gasping for breath, not complaining about others, only complaining...... She can't see through people, and she can't see through that love is a flower in the mirror, illusory and unreal. She looked down at the gray-white and cold floor tiles under her feet, something was frantically surging into her eyes, eager to vent, she quickly raised her head, raised her chin, her eyes were wide open, looking at the beams at the top, the dark red delicate carvings seemed to be the marks left by dried bloodstains, reflecting a desolate expression in her eyes.

The Nine Emperor Princes always thought that the reason why the Emperor had no worries about bringing Liyue to the palace was because Liyue could play chess. He once deliberately went to learn because Seventh Brother liked chess, but he couldn't be interested in learning it, so he had to do it in the end. Thinking of the indifferent and intelligent woman, he couldn't help but ask, "Seventh brother, are you...... Will you marry her? ”

Zong Zheng was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at the black clouds in the distance, and did not respond half-loudly. The Nine Emperor Princes sighed, turned his face and saw a slender woman slowly stepping out of the small building next to him, that step seemed to be extremely calm, but it inexplicably gave people a sense of difficulty, he blurted out, "Liyue?!" ”

The moment she stepped out of the room, a smile rose to her lips, self-deprecating and cold. The clear eyes that used to be are as silent as water at the moment, and the bottom of her eyes is full of deep irony and sadness, she is so determined, she looks at Zongzheng from a distance, her lips are pursed as if a steel blade is cutting something, and her beautiful face is pale with blood faded.

Zong Zheng turned his head when he heard the sound, only to see that she was wearing only a thin single coat, the long jet-black clothes scattered on her shoulders were flying in the wind, and the white clothes of Shengxue were drumming in the wind, making her slender body look like she was overwhelmed and would fall down at any time. Zong Zheng suddenly felt his heart tighten, and involuntarily stepped forward, frowning slightly: "I came out with such little clothing, and I am not afraid of freezing?!" ”

How natural his care is, it is this naturalness that makes her unable to distinguish between the false and the real, and cannot distinguish the true from the false. Manyao looked at Zong Zhengwu's hand stretched out to her, smiled mockingly, took two big steps back, forcibly suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, and said, "Your goal, hasn't it been achieved?" Why put on a show. ”

Zong Zheng was stunned for a moment, knowing that she had already guessed a rough idea after listening to Fang Cai's words. Facing her piercing gaze, he frowned slightly, sank his eyes, turned sideways, and did not answer.

His silence is undoubtedly equivalent to confirming her suspicions, although Manyao has already counted it, but at this time he still can't help but feel a huge pain in his heart, his body shook, Zong Zheng reached out to help her without worrying and intuitively, but she dodged and avoided it. He lowered his hand, his face calm, and he couldn't see his expression.

When the Nine Emperor Princes saw this, they hurriedly said, "Liyue, don't get me wrong......

Manyao interrupted: "His Royal Highness the Ninth doesn't have to defend him, is it a misunderstanding, I ...... I know it in my heart. Her palms tightened tighter and tighter, trying her best to control the tears that wanted to rise in her eyes, raised her face, pulled her lips and said with a smile: "I want to ask His Royal Highness about something." ”

Regained his composure so quickly, and even changed his name, he felt harsh inexplicably when he heard it, Zongzheng frowned, looking at her light and cold smile, he didn't speak, only motioned to her with his eyes to ask.

Staring at his indifferent eyes, pain spreading in her heart, she smiled with difficulty: "The tea garden is sealed...... I was arrested and imprisoned, and it was all your arrangement...... Right? She kept thinking that very few people knew about the assassination in the middle of the night, so why was Ling'er arrested when she went to the tea garden in the morning? She thought that he hated Emperor Lin and would not like Emperor Lin to interfere in his affairs, however, she didn't know his purpose...... It's her at all!

Zongzheng's carefree and sharp eyes flashed, he looked at her for a while, and said without waves: "I said that it's not good for a woman to be too smart sometimes. If you are stupid, there won't be so many sad things. You are so smart, why bother to get to the bottom of it and ask for trouble. ”

This is the man who was so tender last night? It turns out that he is so affectionate! His words were like drumsticks slamming down on her heart, and the pain was piercing. She held back the tears that wanted to burst out of her eyes, smiled sadly, took a deep breath, and tried her best to calm her mind. Then he laughed at himself: "Clever? Scold... If I am smart enough, how can I fall into your plan and become the one you use to practice...... Prop?! "The word prop is like a sharp knife piercing the heart, and the pain is unbearable. Result...... Is she too stupid, or is his play too realistic?

Under the wrath of the emperor, the tea plantations were sealed, and all those involved were arrested and imprisoned; In order to clear the suspicion, the prince will look for a scapegoat; She can only rely on him to save the people in the garden from prison, all of this is in his calculations, he successfully let her live in the palace in the name of protecting her, and then seduces her heart with false affection to achieve his goal, this is ...... Her self-righteous love?! Ridiculous and pathetic!

Zong Zheng said without worry: "It's not that you are not smart enough, but because you have met this king." You don't have to worry since ...... You are the woman of this king, and this king will marry you. Reaching out to help her shoulder, the temperature from his hand made him slightly stunned, his hot body from last night was so cold now?

She shook, and immediately took a step back, sideways to avoid his touch. To this day, he still thinks that his willingness to marry her is a great gift to her? Zongzheng is worry-free, you don't know me too much! Her body trembled slightly, her hands clenched into fists, her sharp nails sank into her delicate palms, and she looked straight into his dark eyes with a cool sarcasm, those eyes, she could no longer see half of the tenderness of the past, only indifferent coldness, she picked up all the sorrow and hid it in the depths of the desolate corners of her eyes, and then smiled lightly: "No need, leave His Royal Highness!" Men and women love ...... Originally, you and I were willing, how can you talk about getting married? Last night...... Just wake up as a spring dream...... Nothing! ”
