Chapter 204: Relief
The tea on the desk was cold, and the person who came with the tea also died, Chu Zikai had nowhere to vent his anger, and his lips were dry, holding Yu Zhao tightly with both hands, and he couldn't spare his hand or heart to pick up and drink the herbal tea that could quench his thirst.
This sound was abrupt, not only frightened the people in the palace into panic, but also frightened Yu Zhao's body. Chu Zikai hurriedly collected his movements, softened his voice, comforted the person in his arms, hugged her and sat down, looked at Jiao Ju's corpse on the side, felt that it was an eyesore, and turned his head and ordered the guards to come in and pull it down to dispose of it.
Yu Zhao froze at the moment, only feeling Chu Zikai's gentle comfort, and couldn't see that he was sad in his heart at this time, and his face was ugly as if he was about to kill at any time.
The rest of the people in the tent did not get the order, did not dare to leave, held their breath and did not dare to breathe heavily, full of fear and secretly prayed that God could give a way to live, and the surroundings became quiet and abnormal, it was clear that the sun was shining at this time, but the atmosphere around was as cold as an ice cellar, which made people shudder.
"Feng Yun, get up dead, and if you pretend to be dead again, I will drag you to a mass grave and bury you!"
With Chu Zikai's cold warning, Feng Yun, who had just fainted with fright, woke up from a dream at this moment, and after opening his eyes blankly, he saw Chu Zikai hugging Yu Zhao with a cold face and not saying a word, pretending not to know what things had developed, and immediately got up and knelt down, eager to ask something, but heard Chu Zikai scold angrily: "Take them, get out and kneel!" ”
Although it was a reprimand that made people's souls tremble, everyone felt as if they had been pardoned, and they couldn't wait to retreat.
After everyone was gone, Chu Zikai looked at Yu Zhao again, and saw that she still refused to let down her guard, looking frightened and afraid, and suddenly understood from her heart, why did she react so much when she was suspected by herself before, it was really hurtful.
There was a little guilt mixed in the distress, Chu Zikai apologized softly: "I'm sorry, Zhaozhao, I shouldn't have said those nonsense words to anger you before, but you know it, how can it be true?" How could I ever blame you for punishing you, and think about it? This matter is obviously not careless, let someone take advantage of the loophole to provoke our affection. ”
"And what you and your mother suspected, the group of assassins in Fengyang who chased and killed you, I admit, they were my subordinates, and they were ordered by the East Palace to act correctly, but at that time, my father was in danger, I didn't take care of the whole situation, and only sent someone to the west to inquire about your whereabouts, I didn't expect you to go to Fengyang at all, and I haven't found out who forged the Zhu Yin letterhead."
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Wen Luo right now, she knows everything, the Criminal Division is still secretly filing a case, if it is really me who did it, what else can I do to investigate it?"
A large series of explanations calmed down Yu Zhao's emotions a little, and he didn't feel that Chu Zikai did it, but the fear was still unabated, the discomfort of losing sight had not been completely relieved, he was weak and helpless and refused to relax his vigilance easily, his hands and feet became cold due to fear, and he couldn't respond to Chu Zikai's reassurance, and he felt that he couldn't get real safety.
Seeing this, Chu Zikai only thought that the doubts in her heart were still unresolved, and her heart was sad and weak, she looked at her with lowered eyes, and muttered in frustration: "Zhaozhao, are you afraid that I will hurt you?" ”
While speaking, Chu Zikai took out a hand, untied his clothes, and took Yu Zhao's cold hand, reached in, and touched the scars all over his body, and the large and small marks on his lean and compact body were all over the place, especially the arrow wound from the hollow bowl on the side of his chest.
All along, the injury was like engraved on Yu Zhao's heart, there was no need to see how shocking it was, as soon as he touched it, or even heard it, Yu Zhao could feel the pain that almost killed Chu Zikai at that time, and the feeling in his heart swelled up, even if he calmed down.
Chu Zikai's tone was full of sadness and sighed: "You are a girl who I have to protect at the cost of my life, how can you have the heart to suspect that I will harm you?" ”
As he spoke, Chu Zikai led her hand down again, and above her abdomen, there was another dagger wound, and the more she talked, the more sad she became. "Here, you gave it yourself when you left. Do you remember, on the outskirts of Luoyuan City, Rao was so ruthless that you stabbed the knife in, do you know that I was really angry at that time, and my hands were on your neck, and in the end I couldn't use any strength to ......
Skin-to-skin love, he did not hesitate to gamble with his life, even if he thought that he would lose and suffer thousands of pains, what hurt for her, what she gave and hurt, Chu Zikai did not take this as a lesson, and even intensified his love, how fortunate it was to be able to get the emperor's affection.
His words, his injury, made Yu Zhao feel a little more ashamed in his heart, completely disarmed and surrendered, abandoned the defense line, and confessed his guilt.
Indeed, as Chu Zikai said, even if Yu Zhao personally presented the blade, he couldn't hurt her for half a point. In fact, if you think about it, the soft-hearted shelter he gave was not only vividly reflected in that time, Yu Zhao in the past, most of the injuries he suffered along the way were caused by others framing, and all of them were unexpected.
And what was expected to be saved was not all blocked by Chu Zikai rushing forward desperately for her. Looking at the fight on weekdays, even if Yu Zhao is in a hurry and can't control the severity, he scratches, bites and scratches him, Chu Zikai is the son of heaven, he doesn't care if he loses face, he often sees injuries on his body, even if it hurts, but he never sees him really willing to use half of his real strength to fall on her.
Big and small things all reveal Chu Zikai's intimate care, looking back on this matter, he made up his mind, Yu Zhao calmed down and thought about it carefully, Chu Zikai is good at using stratagems, he is not a stupid person, if he really wants to settle accounts with himself, and he doesn't want to leave him, how can he be in a hurry while he is still in the West, and how can he let all kinds of evidence flow out so easily.
This flawed scheme doesn't look like Chu Zikai's handiwork at all, but it does make him suspicious and can't explain it. And the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes, from this moment, is not to kill Yu Zhao, but to distract Yu Zhao's trust in Chu Zikai, so as to disrupt the plan of harmony.
It almost fulfilled the man's wish, thinking like this, Yu Zhao really felt that Chu Zikai himself was wronged enough for him to be annoyed, and he should not have such an attitude towards him anymore, his body gradually softened in his arms, his hands folded around him, and the tears that poured out of distress when he buried his head in his chest and rubbed it dry before touching his wound.
These soft actions made Chu Zikai feel that Yu Zhao was relieved again, lowered his head and rubbed her face in response to her overtures, and when he saw her godless eyes, he was also very distressed, and secretly swore that he would dig three feet into the ground to find out, close his eyes and meditate on the whole thing, he really had no clue. Fortunately, the two hearts broke through the barrier and reconnected to each other, so that the troubled thoughts had some comfort and could steal a moment of peace.
