Looking at the direction where the third brother's finger was pointing, Zhao Xi's entire face turned snow-white.

He knew that he had committed a capital crime in front of the third brother, but all this was something he had done wrong, he didn't want Luo Qing to fall victim to this whole thing, let alone watch the third brother hurt the woman he loved the most.

Zhao Xi protected Luo Qing tightly behind him, looking at the third brother's eyes that were red from anger, and a voice sounded in his heart; If the third brother really wanted Luo Qing's life at this time, then he might really make a move on his closest brother; And all this is definitely the last thing he wants to see.

Seeing Zhao Xi's desperate actions to protect Luo Qing, Zhao Ling's face showed a sneer that seemed to hurt to the bones: "Old Seven, you also know that the guardian is distressed, right?" I'm just going to say a couple of words that might hurt her, and you'll be nervous to this point; Compare your heart to your heart, think about it again, how do I feel if you hurt your third sister-in-law so much? ”

Zhao Xi looked at the third brother's painful eyes, and paused slightly in protecting Luo Qing's arm behind him, he knew that he had committed an unforgivable capital crime, and he knew that he was despicable and shameless, so he had a bad conscience and confided the truth to the third brother; Looking at the third brother's painful appearance now, listening to his words that made him die of shame, Zhao Xi lowered his head; He really didn't know what to do except cry silently.

Luo Qing understood the bitterness in Zhao Xi's heart at this time, if he hadn't hurt his closest relatives in this world, Zhao Xi would not have tortured his spirit so sluggishly in just a few days; Today, she pulled him to confess to His Royal Highness the Prince, just to unravel this knot in Zhao Xi's heart, if this goal cannot be achieved, then her beloved man will live in pain and regret for the rest of his life.

Luo Qing likes to see Zhao Xi smiling, she likes to see his sunny appearance, she doesn't want to see pain between his eyebrows, especially if this pain is indirectly brought to him by her.

Thinking of what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said just now, Luo Qing had a plan in her heart, and with a look of determination in her bright apricot eyes, she walked out from behind Zhao Xi and knelt in front of Zhao Ling; is obviously just a slender and weak girl, but at this time, she has the courage and courage to not lose to any man.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the courtiers know that the courtiers and the prince have hurt His Royal Highness and the mother, and they also know that no matter how much they say now, no matter how many sins they have, they will not be able to make the prince angry; Your Highness, you are right, when this kind of thing happens, someone always has to jump out and pay for this matter, the prince is His Royal Highness's younger brother who has been hurting since childhood, and no one knows his temperament and character better than you, if it weren't for the courtiers, the prince would not have done anything that chilled His Highness; Therefore, the courtiers are here to ask Your Highness, if Your Highness really wants to find someone between the courtiers and the prince to vent her anger for the departure of the mother, then let the courtiers atone for their sins. If there is no courtier, the prince will not be coerced by the emperor, if there is no courtier, the prince will not hurt his own sister-in-law, in the final analysis, it is the courtiers who hurt the prince, His Royal Highness and the mother, the courtier's crime is unforgivable, and it is natural to be punished in any way. ”

When Luo Qing said this, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Ling's red eyes, her snow-white little face was like a small flower in the cold wind, she looked so fragile, but she was so tenacious: "It's just that the courtier wants to ask His Royal Highness to give the prince a chance, the prince has been suffering because of this matter in the past few days, it can be seen that in the heart of the prince, His Royal Highness's weight is very heavy; Please also ask His Royal Highness to tolerate the prince's lost path with a generous mind and rebuild the brotherly relationship. ”

After speaking, Luo Qing kowtowed three times to Zhao Ling, her movements were decisive and neat, without any mud and water; Such a Luo Qing made Zhao Xi deeply shocked, and Zhao Ling was a little impressed by her.

Suddenly remembered that when Yue'er was by his side, he praised Luo Qing's words, saying that she was a rare gentle and affectionate person in the world, at that time, he had not taken Chu Xingyue's words to heart, and felt that he was just a stranger who had met in a hurry, so easy to judge, and the assertion was more or less unbelievable.

However, today I saw her kneeling in front of herself, neither humble nor arrogant, shouldering all the responsibilities on her shoulders, and still as a daughter; Sure enough, his Yue'er is really good-looking, the Luo family has an excellent daughter again, and his bastard brother is really lucky to be able to get Luo Qing's heart.

The quiet needle drop in the study can be heard, and the three people in the room all have their own thoughts.

Luo Qing took all the mistakes made by Zhao Xi on herself, to tell the truth, she was gambling, although His Royal Highness the Prince in front of her was angry, but she still had brotherly love for Zhao Xi that was difficult to give up, so even if he said it very ugly, she would bet on the prince's unbearableness; What's more, the prince in the gambling hall will never make a move on a woman who is powerless, not to mention that she is still from Heluo Mansion, for the sake of the face of the deceased eldest sister Luo Yao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should still have some concerns.

And Zhao Xi looked at the third brother vigilantly at all times, for fear that the third brother would accept Luo Qing's words and really vent all his anger on her alone; He had seen with his own eyes how the third brother cleaned up the old nine who dared to tease the third sister-in-law, although Luo Qing said that he was weak and delicate, but he knew very well that the third brother who was furious was really likely to attack her in extreme anger; If it really came to that time, he would definitely rush forward and protect Luo Qing tightly in his arms.

Anyway, the person who did the wrong thing in this matter is also him, and it should be that he was beaten to death by the third brother.

And Zhao Ling calmed down slowly and unexpectedly under extreme anger.

Luo Qing Bingxue is smart, she won the bet on Zhao Xi's weight in Zhao Ling's mind, but even if Zhao Xi did such an excessive thing, Zhao Ling hated to pick off his skin, but at the last moment he still relented; However, the sibling rift has already arisen, and it seems a little impossible to make Zhao Ling trust Zhao Xi as usual.

Zhao Ling staggered back two steps, his red eyes were still rolling with anger, but at this time, the anger had already moved from Zhao Xi's body to the palace.

Luo Qing said that she was the culprit who killed Zhao Xi who had to betray him; However, Zhao Ling felt that the culprit was not Luo Qing, but his biological father who was lying in Tai'an Palace and deceived him for more than 20 years.

He will not forget that day in the palace, his father personally promised him that he would not do anything to Chu He, nor would he do anything to the Jingbei Hou Mansion; However, those promises are still in the ears today, but the reality has changed beyond recognition.

He couldn't imagine how stubborn and shocked Yue'er must have been when Zhao Xi brought his father's words to Yue'er; In this huge capital, he is her only support, and he will not forget that after knowing that Chu He was in trouble, she helplessly threw herself into his arms and cried and begged him to help save her brother.

At that time, he knew that although she was not the real daughter of the Chu family, in her heart, she had already regarded the Jingbei Houfu family in Qingzhou as his real relatives; In the face of the sudden distress of her relatives, she regarded him as the only person who saved her life and relied on him wholeheartedly; But what about him? fell into the trap that his father had already laid for him, and let his father take advantage of it, and deeply hurt her.

He should have realized that when his father provoked the courtiers of the previous dynasty to choose a concubine for him, he should have thought of his father's dissatisfaction with her; But at that time, he was anxious to repair the father-son relationship that he had missed with his father for so many years, and ignored the dangers that might cause harm to her again and again, until due to his neglect, those dangers piled up more and more around her, and little by little the little conspiracy became a net under the control of people with intentions, netting them all and hurting the most innocent her.

The fatherly love and affection that I most longed for since I was a child has become an unrecognizable hurt and deception; He swore to protect the love of his life, and abandoned him again under misunderstanding and despair; Even the brother who has been raised by his side since he was a child will stab him in the back while he is not back.

Zhao Ling felt that his whole world had collapsed at this moment, and all the persistence, glory, hard work, and power he had gained had turned into powder at this moment, and he laughed mercilessly at his failure.

He has lived in this world for more than twenty years, and the reason why he has become strong for more than twenty years is that he will have the ability to protect the people he wants to protect in the future; But what about now? His dearest relatives hurt him, his beloved ones left him, and his most fraternal brothers betrayed him.

He has worked hard for many years, but in the end it was like a joke, accompanied by the low sobbing sound from the study, Zhao Ling's eyebrows were cold, and he laughed coldly.

Zhao Xi was full of remorse, if he could, he really wanted to give his life to repay the damage suffered by the third brother.

However, before he could explain his guilt to the third brother, he suddenly heard the third brother's cold laughter coming from above his head.

The laughter, cold and hoarse, almost like squeezed out of the throat, makes people feel quite stressed just by listening to it.

Zhao Xi subconsciously grabbed Luo Qing, who was kneeling in front of him, held her cold fingers tightly in his palm, then raised his head and looked at the third brother in surprise, his lips trembled, and said, "Third and third brother......, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Ling looked at his younger brother kneeling in front of him with a pair of red quiet, the whole person was like a fierce beast about to be released, and suddenly he turned around and walked to the sword stand, and took down the long sword he wore when he went to the battlefield from the sword stand.

Then, he walked towards the outside of the study with dark eyes.

As soon as he saw Zhao Ling's posture, Zhao Xi noticed that the situation was not quite right, and he didn't care that he was pleading guilty now, so he hurriedly stood up and caught up with Zhao Ling's steps, and asked anxiously: "Third brother, what are you doing with your sword?" Where are you going? ”

Suddenly thinking of the place where the third brother might go, Zhao Xi's whole face turned white, and he had the courage to spread his arms and stop in front of his third brother, and said, "Third brother! I won't let you go! ”
