In Chu He's opinion, it must have happened to her a lot, so she slowly changed her personality and made her mature day by day; You must know that the word naïve only appears in children who have been well protected since childhood; His little sister, once protected by him and his father, was as young and clear as the purest stream of a mountain stream.

But now, looking at her bright smile as before, he could see her transformation, and although the stream was still clear, there was already a lot of things in it; Such a stormy growth is undoubtedly not an indication of the setbacks she has experienced.

To this day, in his spare time, he still can't help but torture himself, was it really the right choice to send her to the capital alone and get involved in this battle for succession?

Looking at him like this now, he inevitably still has some regrets; If he could, he really wanted his sister to live a carefree life for the rest of her life, not knowing what the pain was or what to do to hide it.

It's just that although he is heartbroken by the change in his impression of his sister, he has to admit that when he sees his younger sister who is becoming more and more mature, he can't control the thoughts of honor in his heart; Suddenly, Chu He felt that his brother didn't look like a brother at all, but like he had brought the role of a father into it.

I am glad that my 'child' has finally grown up and can be independent, but I am also distressed that the 'child' who has been in the arms of the baby for more than ten years has lost the purity and innocence of the past, and has been dyed with the inevitable taste of the world.

Thinking of this, Chu He couldn't help but laugh dumbly, shook his head lightly and shook off those weird thoughts in his mind, looked at Chu Xingyue again, and said, "You don't have to worry too much about my affairs, right now, I think your affairs are the most important." ”

Chu He said, and put his eyes on Chu Xingyue's still flat lower abdomen, with a touch of gentleness in his eyes that was quite similar to Chu Xingyue, "You really decided to hide it from the prince like this?" I heard that in order to leave the capital, you deceived him that this child is gone, Yue'er, do you know what you mean by doing this? Although we don't need the title of 'Crown Princess' in Jingbei Hou Mansion to get anything, what my father and I want to see most is that you can live happily; I don't know what you're doing this for, but I know that you are a woman, and the most important thing for a girl is to find the right person to marry, and then live a simple and happy life in her husband's house; Neither my father nor I want to see you alone, who has suffered. ”

Chu Xingyue knew that Chu He was trying to persuade her, but she really couldn't go back to that capital.

Therefore, compared to Chu He, who began to look a little excited as he spoke, Chu Xingyue seemed much calmer.

looked at her brother who really cared about her, and said, "Big brother, I know what you are worried about, you are worried that if I leave Zhao Ling, I will have a bad life in the future, and I am worried that I will leave the capital and I don't know where to go in the future; In fact, in your heart, you have tied me to the capital of Great Wei, haven't you? I won't hide it from you, this thought and this idea used to exist in my heart, I did tie myself to Zhao Ling in the past, and I felt that his side was the biggest destination in my life, and the capital of Dawei would be my home; But many things that happened later told me how narrow and ignorant I was in this idea. ”

"I am me, I am independent, I don't need to be attached to anyone to live strongly, I never need to be tied to Zhao Ling to live, even if one day, only I am alone, I can live well. In the past, I 'kidnapped' myself in the name of love, made myself cowardly and timid, wrapped around the tall and tall Zhao Ling like a silk grass, let him rely on me, and enjoy the sense of security he brought me; I feel that this is my life, a life closely connected with him. However, the moment when I was alone in the Ling Wang's Mansion waiting for the judgment of fate, when I was desperate and could only help the person I wanted to help by hurting my own body, I woke up in pain. I saw my weakness, my own predicament, and the humility and unbearability in my heart; Big brother, you know what? I wasn't like that before, I wouldn't let myself be so passive, I wouldn't let myself be like a baby, pitifully looking around for help with a pair of frightened eyes, waiting for help like a waste fool. ”

"This kind of me makes me feel disdainful, I don't even look down on myself like that, so I don't kidnap myself anymore, I want to be back to who I used to be, the real me."

When Chu Xingyue was in trouble, Chu He was not around, but he could imagine the shock and shock she received at that time; Surrounded by the royal army of the Son of Heaven, she was just a little girl, how could she not be afraid in the face of such a fierce battle? Not afraid?

Maybe she was really frightened at that moment, there was no one around who could really help her, no relatives, no lovers, in that situation like being imprisoned, she was like an island of exile, and in an instant, it seemed like she was abandoned by everyone.

Maybe this feeling is too unforgettable, so her mood has changed so much; Let her use words like 'sober from the sting' to describe her situation at that moment.

Chu He imagined Chu Xingyue at that time, and his distress was incomparable; Stretched out his hand and clenched her slightly cold fingers tightly in the warm palm, and couldn't help but apologize to her one after another: "Yue'er, I'm sorry, it's all my eldest brother's fault, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have encountered such a thing, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." ”

Chu Xingyue didn't want to see Chu He apologize to herself, because she knew that the reason why Chu He had fallen to this point was all because he wanted to protect her.

Chu Xingyue grabbed his hand tightly with her backhand, and looked at him with a sincere expression, "Big brother, I have never blamed you for this matter, let alone that this matter has nothing to do with you, even if it is really related, I don't blame you, because we are family." ”

Chu He was moved, but felt that Chu Xingyue's words just now were a little strange, and asked, "What does this matter have nothing to do with me?" Isn't it because of me that you were besieged by the Imperial Forest Army sent by the emperor? ”

Hearing Chu He say this, Chu Xingyue knew, and he shouldn't have fully guessed the truth behind this whole thing.

"Big brother, do you know that Zhou Yanran's death has nothing to do with you."

Chu He straightened his back in surprise, and immediately retorted: "Impossible, Zhou Yanran was really killed by me, Yue'er, I know you want to excuse me, but my Chu He's manly husband dares to act, I killed the person, I will definitely not deny it because I am greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

Saying that, Chu He described everything that happened that day in detail like Chu Xingyue, including the reason why he entered the palace to see Zhou Yanran, and Zhou Yanran wanted to blackmail him, so that in anger, he shot her directly.

"I know that killing people is to pay for their lives, but a femme fatale like Zhou Yanran, even if she is allowed to stay in this world, she will harm others; For a woman like her, it should be eliminated quickly. ”

Speaking of resentment, the murderous aura on Chu He's face appeared, which showed how much he hated Zhou Yanran in his heart.

"At the beginning, she threatened me with the affairs of the Tianding clan, if she directly wanted my life, maybe I would really be arrested, after all, there is this kind of blood full of temptation flowing in my body, after I knew that I was special, I never thought that I could safely hide from everyone, and slowly live to old age like a normal person; But she dares to attack your idea, which I absolutely cannot allow; That stupid woman, do you really think that I will be arrested under her coercion? Good! If he wants to be unfavorable to you, then I will let her go to Hades first, so that she can know that if she dares to hurt my Chu He's relatives, I will make her die extremely painful. Therefore, my shot was merciless, in that case, she was only certain to die, and there was absolutely no chance of survival. ”

Listening to Chu He's sworn words, Chu Xingyue fell into a tangle; No, Zhao Ling clearly said that there was a problem with the cause of Zhou Yanran's death, and a cautious person like Zhao Ling would never say such a thing without evidence for no reason.

So, Chu Xingyue told Chu He what Zhao Ling told her, and after Chu He heard it, he was also confused: "How is it possible?" I don't know how many people I've killed with these hands, how can I miss when I kill a helpless woman? ”

Chu Xingyue was running her brain quickly, looking at Chu He's puzzled face: "Big brother, you hit Zhou Yanran's heart with your own hands, didn't you?" ”

Chu He nodded and said, "Yes, I made it myself, it's definitely true." ”

Chu Xingyue suddenly had a very bold and interesting idea in her mind, and said directly to Chu He, "Big brother, I know that this may be very small, but this may indeed exist; In this world, some people's hearts are born a little to the right, and I wonder if Zhou Yanran's heart is like this. ”

Chu He looked at Chu Xingyue in surprise: "Really? Is there really someone whose heart is on the right side? ”

Chu Xingyue nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right, I can be sure that there are such people, but there are very few such people, big brother, if Zhou Yanran's heart is really on the right side, then you are not the real murderer who killed Zhou Yanran, and it is in line with what Zhao Ling told me that Zhou Yanran's cause of death is problematic." ”
