Chu Xingyue looked at Yao Niang, who was gradually losing her breath in her arms, and looked at her face seriously for the first time.

I still remember that when this petite and thin face first appeared in front of her, with panic and helplessness, trembling with surprise, like a rabbit cornered, looking at this ruthless world with red and swollen eyes.

She said that she gave her the warmest light in her life, and she was the one who redeemed her from despair, but only Chu Xingyue herself knew that in her heart, she had never given this Pingshui woman a little hope.

She chose to save her at the beginning, but she was just clingy and pitiful, and in the end she even negotiated with others to send her away, although she told herself that she had arranged the best future for her; However, she never asked her if this was what she wanted in the future?!

It can be seen that in her heart, she has never really cared about her, and the most she treats her feelings is just pity.

But this stupid woman ended her life in such a resolute way in front of her for this insignificant affection.

Chu Xingyue was not stupid, of course she could see why Yao Niang chose to end her life at this time, because she had already guessed what Luo Rou, who was full of malice, was going to say next; In Dawei, although the people are civilized, after all, they still can't allow private affairs between two women.

She is Princess Ling, the daughter-in-law of the Son of Heaven, and Zhao Ling's wife, if one day it is rumored outside that she is entangled with other women, I am afraid that her life and reputation will be affected; Yao Niang chose to commit suicide by hitting the table in order to protect her; In order to block Luo Rou's mouth.

Chu Xingyue felt that her whole body was trembling, and tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes, and the big ones smashed on Yao Niang's bloodstained face; Who would have thought that the woman who was always weak and timid would become so strong and stubborn in the face of love, without hesitation.

Luo Rou also looked at Yao Niang, who suddenly committed suicide, in shock, she obviously didn't expect that this worthless woman in her eyes would not even care about her own life in order to save Chu Xingyue.

Thinking that her plan had failed again, and she had missed a handle to control Chu Bingyue in vain, Luo Rou's heart was full of unconvinced.

Looking at Chu Xingyue, who was crying sadly while holding Yao Niang's corpse, the corners of Luo Rou's mouth pursed an evil smile: "Chu Bingyue, what are you crying about now?" You should be happy, because the death of this woman has preserved your reputation as Princess Ling; Speaking of which, she is just a lowly pariah, and a person of her status dies every day, so why do you show guilt and pity at this time? ”

Chu Xingyue glared at Luo Rou deadly: "Shut up!" ”

Looking at Chu Xingyue, who was really angry, Luo Rou suddenly felt that her sullen mood was immediately much more relaxed: "Do you pity her?" Think she shouldn't die? But Chu Bingyue, the one who really killed her was you! ”

"Luo Rou, while I still have some sense now, you'd better shut up obediently, otherwise, this princess will definitely be unkind to you."

Luo Rou laughed out loud: "Will you still be polite to me?" Didn't you say it yourself, whether I admit it or not, whether I admit it or not, you won't spare me, in that case, why should I look at your face and ask for tolerance. ”

"Okay, that's what you said."

Chu Xingyue looked towards Yuan Feng: "Kicking this woman out of the Li Mansion, whether she lives or dies outside, it has nothing to do with us." ”

Yuan Feng has been staring at Luo Rou coldly after seeing Yao Niang commit suicide, if it weren't for his rational restraint, he would have rushed up and demolished this woman who forced others to die alive; Hearing Chu Xingyue's order right now, it was just right for him.

Therefore, in the midst of Luo Rou's struggle and shouting, he stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed Luo Rou's collar from behind, and dragged her out like a dead thing.

Luo Rou had thought about what would happen if she fell into the hands of her Chu Bingyue, but she never expected that this woman would be so vicious that she would throw her out of the Li Mansion and leave her to fend for herself?

Thinking of the * she had almost suffered before, Luo Rou began to struggle and shouted: "Chu Bingyue, you just kill me!" Kill me! ”

Chu Xingyue hugged Yao Niang in her arms tightly, and looked coldly at Luo Rou, who was struggling, and was extremely ugly: "Killing you will only dirty my knife; At the beginning, Zhao Ling rescued you from the hands of thieves, originally to give you a chance to live, since you don't cherish it, then you go back to where you should go. ”

"Chu Bingyue, I am the daughter of the Luo family, even if I am an inconspicuous concubine, I am also a child of the Luo family, if you treat me like this, are you not afraid that one day the Luo family will settle accounts with you?"

Chu Xingyue sneered: "The capital is hundreds of miles away from Jeju City, if something happens to you here, if no one makes a special trip to report the news, how can they know; In the future, if you are lucky enough to be found by the Luo family, they will also think that you are self-inflicted, and you will not be treated in the capital mansion, but you just ran away like this; Luo Rou, you have today's fate and can't blame others, everything is your own fault. ”

Luo Rou still wanted to struggle and shout, but she was tightly gagged by the strip of cloth that Chunxing rushed up to stuff.

In this way, in the midst of her whimpering and screaming, this cruel and innocent woman finally disappeared from her eyes.

When the room returned to quiet, Chu Xingyue put Yao Niang on the ground and gently wiped the blood stains on her face with her sleeve, she didn't want this kind and clean girl to leave the last scene in the world with a face covered in blood.

Xiao Ruiyuan had been quietly watching Chu Xingyue's movements, and after a long time, he slowly walked up and half-knelt in front of Yao Niang, his lips trembling slightly.

"Young master, I didn't know that she was really framed and wronged, just now, I kicked and injured her, and wronged her."

Thinking of what he had just done, Xiao Ruiyuan hated to pull the hair off his head, how could he be so confused, he couldn't understand the grievances in her eyes, and insisted that she had the intention of killing the young master.

Chu Xingyue had gradually regained her composure, and said rationally: "Yao Niang is a very gentle and kind person, she won't blame you." ”

"Young master, my father was poisoned to death."

Chu Xingyue looked at Xiao Ruiyuan, although she had already guessed his identity, it was the first time she had heard about his relatives from him.

Xiao Ruiyuan sat on the ground with a 'poof', and the pain in his already sad eyes was a little stronger: "My father is the most amazing man in the world, he is loyal and patriotic, and conscientiously guards his homeland, but he was caught in the whirlpool because of his disdain for power struggle, and in the end, he was coaxed by gangsters and drank poisonous wine; I have seen my father die of poison, and my mother and other relatives in the family have died tragically under the knife of the murderer. My sister and I survived because my father's friends sacrificed their lives to protect us from danger. ”

"After escaping, I concentrated on studying all kinds of poisons, which is why I noticed that something was wrong when Yao Niang brought the vegetarian porridge; Just like the young master, you said, Yao Niang is a very pure-hearted person, for people like her, she is born not to harm others, when there is a ghost in her heart, all mental activities will be manifested on her face, which can be seen through at a glance. It's just that I didn't expect that she would be so stupid, not only became a pawn in her hands, but also chose to end her life like this. ”

Chu Xingyue took Xiao Ruiyuan's words: "Yes, she is a fool, I am not very good to her at all, but she did such a stupid thing for me." ”

Chun Xing hurriedly walked up to support Chu Xingyue and comforted her: "Miss, don't blame yourself anymore, the person who really killed Yao Niang was Luo Rou, not Miss you; Don't worry, Luo Rou won't end well, she will soon go to Yao Niang to atone for her sins. ”

In this whole matter, is Luo Rou really the only one who is guilty?

In fact, how could she not be responsible?

Just when Chu Xingyue fell into deep self-blame, the slightly closed door was pushed open from the outside, and then, a dazzling light source shone in from the outside, Chu Xingyue squinted her eyes and looked over, and saw that in the light, Zhao Ling was standing there with a slightly pale face.

Chu Xingyue didn't know when Zhao Ling appeared, so she was stunned on the spot and hurriedly responded: "Why did you get out of bed?" Your injuries are so bad, you must recuperate. ”

Zhao Ling was not in a hurry to answer her question, but reached out and gently pinned the broken hair on her forehead behind her ear, looked at her slightly reddened eyes, and said in a low voice: "Such a big thing has happened, how can this king continue to rest with peace of mind?" ”

Chu Xingyue lowered her head: "You know everything?" ”

"Well, the Jingwei arranged by this king near the mansion is not an ornament."

Chu Xingyue grabbed Zhao Ling's hand, she had always been strong, she seemed to have suddenly turned into a child at this moment, her eyes were full of fragility: "Yao Niang died, she died to protect me." ”

Zhao Ling looked at Yao Niang, who was lying on the ground and was already lifeless, and his eyes fell back on Chu Xingyue's body: "Go out for a walk with this king, okay?" ”

"But your body ......"

"This king is injured, not lost, he still has the strength to walk."

With that, Zhao Ling pulled Chu Xingyue out of the room, let the warm sunlight shine on her body, and led her forward step by step.

"Yue'er, you should know that this king has basically never shed a tear since he became an adult, because this king knows that even if the tears are drained, what should happen will still happen; But even so, the king cried a lot, regretting his decision and regretting his powerlessness. ”

Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Ling in surprise, she didn't expect to hear such words from his mouth, "What happened to you?" ”

Zhao Ling turned his head and showed a faint sad smile to Chu Xingyue: "This king killed the person he regarded as his father, he was like Yao Niang, he fell in a pool of blood, and looked at this king with wide eyes until he died. ”
