"What is this?"

Su Yingxue pointed to the piece of paper in surprise, as if she had seen something terrible.

Zhao Xuan, who was wiping the table with a handkerchief, paused when he heard Su Yingxue's words, followed her fingers to look at his hand, and immediately became vigilant, anxious to put away the things in the book.

But Su Yingxue's reaction speed seemed to be stimulated, and a few arrows stepped up and grabbed Zhao Xuan's arm tightly, stopping his movements: "Zhao Xuan, tell me, why do you have a map of the imperial city in your hand?" ”

Zhao Xuan knew that Su Yingxue had seen it, but he couldn't tell her the truth: "What do you care so much about?" Is it strange that this king has a map of the imperial city in his hands? Don't forget, this king is a prince, ordinary people can find a map of the imperial city through their own doorway, this king wants one, can't it? ”

"Naturally, it is possible, but Zhao Xuan, your map is different, I clearly see that this map is marked with various imprints, and it is also marked with various colors, especially the Tai'an Palace, where my father lives, is drawn by you with key symbols; Zhao Xuan, tell me the truth, what are you doing? The atmosphere in the house is very different during this time, do you really think I'm stupid? ”

Zhao Xuan looked at Su Yingxue, who seemed to know something, and used a little strength to push her away: "Su Yingxue, before there is no factual basis, this king advises you not to talk too much, and be careful to say too many mistakes." ”

Su Yingxue was pushed away by Zhao Xuan and hit the corner of the table hard, she almost screamed out in pain, but this was not as shocking as her at the moment, which made her feel at a loss.

"Zhao Xuan, don't do stupid things, you are the son of your father, the eldest prince, you must not do anything that you regret."

"I don't know what you're talking about. Well, you are tired, and this king is tired, so go down. ”

Seeing Zhao Xuan, who was unwilling to face herself, the more Su Yingxue thought about it, the more scared she became: "Are you in such a hurry to urge me to leave, is it because you have a ghost in your heart, Zhao Xuan, you want to kill ......?"

"Shut up!"

Before Su Yingxue's last word could be spoken, she was cut off by Zhao Xuan, who was suddenly angry and angry: "Su Yingxue, do you really take the words of this king as the wind in your ears?" The king has warned you not to talk nonsense or talk too much, do you really want to die at the hands of this king? ”

Tears flowed out of Su Yingxue's eyes again, she thought of the crazy things he might be going to do, so she threw herself up and hugged his waist tightly despite the pain in her body, begging bitterly: "Zhao Xuan, I beg you, don't!" Really don't! Do you know that if you do this, you will kill yourself, if you kill me, you can stop, I am willing to die at your hands. ”

Zhao Xuan looked at the woman who hugged him tightly in disbelief, and was shocked by her last words: "Su Yingxue, this king doesn't love you, why did you do this for this king?" ”

"I know, I know you don't love me, and I want to tell myself not to love you anymore, but I can't watch you make mistakes just by the thought of you doing that kind of thing. Zhao Xuan, while things haven't happened yet, shall we stop? Don't worry, I'll forget what I saw today, and we'll treat it as if nothing happened, okay? ”

Zhao Xuan stretched out his hand and gently and slowly wiped away the tears on her face, this was the first time he wiped her tears, he really didn't expect it to be in such a situation.

"Su Yingxue, do you know? There is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, and the king can no longer turn back; This king knows what you are worried about, rest assured, if this matter ends in failure, this king will judge himself and beg his father to spare you innocently. ”

"Nope! No! Zhao Xuan, don't treat me like this, I want you to live too; Who said there is no turning back when you open a bow? We just have to start from scratch, I always know what you want, okay, you want to be the prince, I'll help you; My father, my brother, I go and beg them, and they will definitely do everything in the Su family to help you; It's just that I beg you, don't pursue what you want in this way, if you do this, you will kill yourself one day. ”

Zhao Xuan suddenly laughed, but at this time, his smile did not have ridicule and sarcasm, but with a faint temperature: "What a fool, do you really think that this world is as simple as you think?" Actually, it's not like that at all; The law of the jungle is the truth of this world, if this king can't get what he wants, when Zhao Ling gets it, this king will still die in his hands. ”

While speaking, Zhao Xuan slowly broke Su Yingxue's hand holding her waist, and her warm and dry big hand held her shoulder, "Don't be stupid, once you start something, you can't turn back, and this king doesn't want to turn back; Originally, the king wanted to hide this matter from you, but now that you know, this king has to rearrange it. Su Yingxue, I may have to wronged you, from today onwards, you can't take half a step out of your own room, except for your personal maid Xiangling, you can't get close to anyone, rest assured, as long as this king succeeds, he will let you go. ”

Su Yingxue looked at Zhao Xuan in surprise: "You want to put me under house arrest?" ”

"Yes, this king knows your character very well, and if you don't do this, you may spoil this king's great affairs; Don't be afraid, even if you are under house arrest, it only restricts your freedom, and everything you eat is still the same as before; It's just that you want to settle down a little bit during this time. ”

After speaking, Zhao Xuan shouted outside: "Someone!" ”

Seeing that the door of the study was opened from the outside, and two of Zhao Xuan's subordinates walked in, Su Yingxue grabbed Zhao Xuan's sleeve nervously and fearfully, and kept shaking her head at him: "Don't Zhao Xuan, don't do this, don't treat me like this." ”

"Don't be afraid, this king won't treat you harshly, as long as you are obedient, you will be fine."

Zhao Xuan looked at his subordinates: "Take the princess down to take care of it, remember, from now on, no one is allowed to approach the princess except for holding the king's handwritten secret order, if you find it, you will be killed." ”

"Yes!"

The subordinate grabbed Su Yingxue's two arms and took her out of the study with an extremely tough gesture.

Su Yingxue cried and struggled, holding on to the edge of the door and refusing to leave, but her little strength was useless at all, and she was dragged out of the study by someone after tossing for long.

Outside the study, Xiangling had already heard the movement coming from inside, and was worried about whether the princess had made the princess unhappy again, so she saw the princess being taken out of the study by the princess's people.

Xiangling was loyal, seeing Su Yingxue like this, she didn't care that this was Zhao Xuan's territory, so she ran up and dragged Su Yingxue out of the hands of two powerful men, and asked anxiously: "Princess, what happened?" How could the prince treat you like this? ”

Su Yingxue hugged Xiangling and cried, she couldn't say a word, she knew that Zhao Xuan was hard-hearted, but she couldn't imagine that in the end, he would choose such a path for himself.

Zhao Xuan sat motionless in the study all the time, listening to the crying outside, from heartbreaking to crying, and finally, until Su Yingxue was taken away, he sat motionless, as if anything that happened outside had nothing to do with him.

The night was getting quieter and quieter, and under the bright candlelight, his figure was long projected on the ground.

Even if a long time has passed, he still feels as if he can still hear Su Yingxue's crying, that crying, for some reason, now he doesn't have the irritability and impatience of the past, but it sounds a little sad.

Maybe it's because of her words, in this world, even his father has never been so kind to him; A woman who is willing to die for him is really stupid and stupid.

Zhao Xuan quietly looked at the map of the imperial city in his hand, his slender fingers groped for the words on it over and over again, and muttered to himself: "It's a pity that this king can't fit other women in his heart, but don't worry, don't be afraid, if this king succeeds in the future, he won't treat you harshly, even if it's to thank you for those sincere words you said to this king." ”

The low and deep voice carried a rare tenderness, if Su Yingxue could see this scene at this moment, she would definitely be very pleased; Because, the man in front of her, who she regarded as more important than her own life, was finally willing to be kind to her.

But fate is like this, even if it is unfathomable, it will naturally not be affectionate.

……

At the same time, Zhao Ling and his entourage, who had already left the territory of Jeju City, were almost wearing the stars and the moon, day and night, and rushed towards the capital without a moment's delay.

In the end, the accompanying doctor was worried that Zhao Ling's body would not be able to bear such a rush for several days, and after several persuasions, he finally used Chu Xingyue as an excuse to finally get Zhao Ling to agree to camp on the spot tonight, so that the team that had been running for several days could have a good rest and take a few breaths.

To tell the truth, not only Zhao Ling has been holding on hard these days, but even Chu Xingyue has been holding on hard.

Even if she was sitting in the carriage, the bumps in the past few days were too strong, and she finally couldn't stand it.

She has become a noodle person, she is tired and leans on Chunxing's shoulder, her eyes are drooping one by one, and her small face is even more white and transparent, so that people can see the color of the blood vessels in her skin.

Zhao Ling returned to Chu Xingyue's side after turning around, and took Chu Xingyue from Chunxing's arms, looking at her weak appearance, he regretted and felt distressed in his heart.

He knew that he was too eager, so he tossed the whole team almost on their backs.

Especially Chu Xingyue, knowing that she was delicate, but he still hurried away; Now that he saw her become like this, he knew that he regretted it, and he really blamed himself.

Chu Xingyue finally felt more comfortable after leaning in Zhao Ling's arms for a while, raised her head to look at his worried eyes, smiled and stretched out her hand, and touched the corners of his eyes: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
