Zhao Xi always looked at the situation in front of him coldly, in his opinion, even if this Chang Xian'er really had an outstanding appearance like a fairy, he would not look at her more, so no matter how Chang Xian'er secretly sent Qiu Bo to him, he would not receive it.

It's just that it's one thing for him to look down on Chang Xian'er, and it's another thing for Zhao Heng to be unwilling to let this Qinglou woman seduce him.

It seems that this stinky boy still has a bit of a conscience, knowing that he is not good at this mouthful, he directly drove the ill-intentioned woman away from under his nose, and it was not in vain that he came to this Qinglou for this stinky boy.

Zhao Xi's face was a little better, looking at Zhao Heng, who was still sitting on the bed bare-chested, and his tone was not as stiff as before: "Put on some clothes, now that the weather is getting colder and colder, even if you have good physical fitness, you can't toss yourself like this; The third brother has already worried a lot about his father's body, if you also fall down at this time, won't you be asking for trouble. ”

Hearing Zhao Xi's words of concern, Zhao Heng sneered: "Am I sick or alive, can I really make the third brother worry?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean, Brother Seven, you understand, don't you? In the eyes of the third brother, there is only the third sister-in-law he likes, how can there ever be a younger brother like me? I'm afraid that in the third brother's heart, even Chu He is much more important than me. ”

Hearing that this stinky boy was talking more and more outrageous, Zhao Xi walked a few steps forward and said, "Are you really stupid?" Can you even say this kind of nonsense? Aren't you worried that if the third brother listens to these words, he will be sad? ”

"He's sad? All of you are only concerned about him, have you ever thought that I will be sad too? ”

Speaking of the grievances, Zhao Heng suddenly got up from the bed and stood in front of Zhao Xi barefoot: "Although I am cynical, although I don't have a positive shape all day long, I am also a human being, and I know that it hurts." The first time I liked a woman when I was so old, she was killed, but I had no way to avenge her, because the person who killed her was my brother's brother-in-law; Okay, all of you want me to wait, you want me to hold back, then I will endure it, but what do I get by enduring it? What I got was pushed out of the circle by all of you, you and the third brother are the brothers with the best relationship, you hid everything from me, didn't tell me anything, let me stumble around you like a fool, and finally hurt and hit stupid, and you rushed to me to rebuke me like now; Lao Qi, you are not me, you will not know the discomfort and pain in my heart. Do you think I really like this capital to stay until now? I want to be with you, I want a brother to care about me, so I will stick to me; But now I know how ridiculous my ideas are, you have never thought of me as a troublemaker, and have never really accepted me. ”

This is the first time Zhao Xi has heard this kind of words from Zhao Heng's mouth, he didn't expect that in the heart of this brother who has been hanging all day long, there are such delicate and sensitive thoughts; You know, he has always maintained a chaotic attitude, as if only getting into trouble is what he is best at, so they never pay too much attention to him; has even acquiesced in his heart that causing trouble is his style.

But now it seems that these previous thoughts were all misunderstandings and prejudices against him, and it turned out that this kid was also eager to be accepted by them.

"Lao Jiu, why didn't you tell me these words earlier?"

"What if you say it sooner? Is there really anything else that can change? Anyway, in your hearts, I am a child who has been spoiled by my father, causing trouble, and losing talents to the Zhao family is my destination, how can you really care about me? The people I care about can only be protected by myself, and you don't care what is going on in my heart. As he spoke, a layer of water vapor appeared from the corners of Zhao Heng's eyes, and his eyes were clearly aggrieved to the extreme, but he still stubbornly bit his lip and refused to let the tears in his eyes fall.

Looking at Zhao Heng like this, Zhao Xi didn't feel good in his heart, he looked back at the empty door, and then pulled the awkward Zhao Heng to sit on the round stool, thought for a moment, and said: "Actually, the most important reason why I came to you is not to scold you for your absurdity, but to tell you who is the real murderer of Zhou Yanran by the mouth of the third brother." ”

Zhao Heng, who was lowering his head and feeling uncomfortable, heard Zhao Xi mention Zhou Yanran, and immediately raised his head to look at him: "Isn't the real murderer who killed Zhou Yanran Chu He?" Why are you still exculpating him until now? Do you really think I'm stupid enough to be deceived by you? ”

Looking at this stinky boy with tendons, Zhao Xi raised his hand and slapped this guy on the shoulder, and reprimanded: "Muddy goods! Could it be that in your heart, my third brother and I are the kind of people who fabricate falsehoods to cover up the facts in order to protect others? ”

"It's hard to say, after all, this matter involves the eldest brother of the third sister-in-law, and the third brother loves the third sister-in-law so much, so naturally he has to protect the Jingbei Hou Mansion in everything."

Zhao Xizhen felt that he was hurt by this stinky boy's liver, "Even if the third brother loves the third sister-in-law, the third brother is definitely not the kind of villain who violates his conscience and spreads rumors; I admit that the third brother is indeed a little partial to Chu He in this matter, but the third brother I know, even if he wants to be partial, he will be biased and fair, and he will definitely not distort the truth like a despicable and shameless villain, so as to achieve the purpose of helping others get rid of their crimes. We grew up with the third brother since we were children, don't you know what kind of character he is? ”

Zhao Heng was asked by Zhao Xi, calmed down and slowly thought about Zhao Xi's words; Yes, with the third brother's personality, even if he wants to protect the real murderer, he will frankly tell him that he is protecting a murderer, instead of trying to track down the case, and then let Zhao Xi run to him and say that Chu He is innocent; Could it be that Zhou Yanran's case really has an inside story?

How is this possible, even Chu He himself admits that he killed someone, doesn't it?

"Seventh Brother ......"

Looking at Zhao Heng, who looked sneering, Zhao Xi glanced at this unpromising guy and said, "Now you figured it out?" Think you may have really wronged someone else? It's not that I'm talking about you, your impulsive personality really needs to be changed; I can understand that you are sad and sad because of Zhou Yanran's death, but how can you doubt that the third brother will cover up Chu He without any basis? If it weren't for the insight that there was a problem with Zhou Yanran's death, how could the third brother be able to force you? You must know that Chu He's identity is not simple, he is the son of the Marquis of Jingbei, and Chu Yi, the Marquis of Jingbei, is in charge of the most powerful military power of the Great Wei Dynasty, even if his father wants to move him, he has to think twice; But what about you? For a woman who loses her mind, if you really hurt Chu He, even if you are the prince, I'm afraid no one can really protect you. The third brother has done so much, in addition to giving Chu He a clean slate, another point is to control you and not let you do stupid things; In the third brother's heart, maybe you have a lot of problems, but the third brother still takes care of you as a younger brother, doesn't he? ”

Zhao Xi hung his head, unable to say anything to defend himself; Yes, he was impulsive, and he complained about the third brother and the seventh brother in his heart, and he would not deny this.

"What the hell is that? What is the truth? Who killed Zhou Yanran? ”

Thinking of that person, Zhao Xi was also a little embarrassed, took a step closer to Zhao Xi, and whispered that person in his ear.

Sure enough, when he heard Zhao Xi personally tell the name of the murderer to himself, Zhao Heng almost immediately bounced up from the stool, and looked at Zhao Xi with wide eyes and surprise: "Seventh brother, are you crazy?" How can such a charge be put on the head of the father? ”

Zhao Xi hurriedly turned around and glanced at the door a few times: "Stinky boy, your voice is quieter, aren't you afraid of being heard?" ”

Zhao Heng opened his mouth to what he wanted or something, but at the critical moment, he endured it, lowered his tone, and said, "Seventh brother, I will never believe that my father is a person who would do such a thing; It must be the third brother who is mistaken, and you are mistaken. ”

"I hope we're mistaken, but the truth can't be changed at will."

Zhao Xi said categorically: "According to the investigation, it is true that Chu He did hurt Zhou Yanran, but Zhou Yanran's heart is not the same as that of a normal person, our hearts are born on the left, but Zhou Yanran's heart is born to the right, so he escaped Chu He's assassination by luck; But Chu He didn't know that Zhou Yanran's body structure was different from ordinary people, so he admitted the fact that he had killed people and was taken to the prison by the Imperial Forest Army. But in fact, when Chu He was taken away by the Imperial Forest Army, Zhou Yanran was still alive at that time, the Imperial Forest Army was his father's person, and his father had been trying to find a way to let the third sister-in-law leave the third brother, and at the same time, he was also thinking about taking back the military power from Chu Yi's hands. Zhou Yanran's injury made him see an opportunity, so he didn't let anyone announce the imperial doctor when he knew that Zhou Yanran was still alive, and watched the woman bleed too much and died; Therefore, the person who really killed Zhou Yanran was her father, and Chu Yi was just the one who injured her. ”

Zhao Heng's legs weakened, and he sat back on the stool with a pop, looking at Zhao Xi in front of him with a blank look that didn't look like a joke, he wanted to speak, but he couldn't make any sound when he opened his mouth.

The truth is too ironic for him, the murderer he thought from beginning to end was not actually the real murderer, but the real murderer was his own father.

Why?

Why him?

Doesn't he like Zhou Yanran the most? Why did he kill his favorite concubine?

Tears welled up in the corners of Zhao Heng's eyes, and he looked at Zhao Xi with a puzzled face, eager for him to give him an answer.

Zhao Xi looked at Zhao Heng, who was so fragile and sad, and his heart was also extremely moved, and he said that the man did not flick when he had tears, but he did not reach the sad place; From childhood to adulthood, it was always Lao Jiu who provoked others to cry, where did he ever see Lao Jiu shed tears himself; It can be seen that in his heart, Zhou Yanran really occupies an extraordinary position, otherwise, he would not have become like this.

Zhao Xi gently patted Zhao Heng's back and tried his best to comfort him: "Later, I heard that in fact, my father may have known about your relationship with Zhou Yanran for a long time, but my father never broke it, just like the messy thing you did before, my father silently covered up this matter; Maybe in the heart of his father, except for the third brother's mother, any woman in the harem is insignificant to him; That's why he doesn't care whether those women are ashamed or not, and he doesn't care if those women live or die. ”
