Chapter 649: Rough skin and thick flesh
At the end of the sentence, he added softly: "That's all." ”
Su Xi was slightly stunned.
The man looked cold and unsmiling, but when he was gentle, even every strand of hair on his head was gentle.
For beautiful men, she still has resistance, but for a beautiful man like him, she was provoked by him without any defense.
"Actually, if you're afraid of the heat, just stay in the Heart Cultivation Hall and approve the folds, and I'll go by myself." Looking at Ling Juncheng's burning eyes, she pursed her lips and changed the topic: "The place in the torture room is stuffy, and even the wind is difficult to penetrate. ”
Ling Juncheng's eyes froze.
He obviously didn't expect Su Xi to change the topic so quickly and was caught off guard.
The deep eyes narrowed.
That's when she shouldn't have responded with something.
It must be deliberate, not cleaned up!
"I'm going with you, aren't you happy?" He lowered his magnetic voice, and the words stirred up his eardrums, "I don't want to accompany you, so who do you want to accompany you?" ”
"When I didn't say that." Su Xi pursed her lips, "I'm just worried that you're uncomfortable with the heat." ”
It was all good just now, but suddenly his face changed.
"No," Ling Juncheng turned his face away, his expression faint, "I have rough skin and thick meat, and I can endure it." ”
"Ahem," Su Xi pretended to cough twice, leaned towards him to ease the atmosphere, and said, "Why did Mama Li die suddenly?" Do you find it strange? ”
"I'll know what's going on when I go to the torture room for a while," the man held back the soft color on his face and returned to his usual seriousness and coldness, "The person behind her is well hidden, and you must be more careful in the future." ”
Su Xi nodded: "But when I was about to know something, the clue was suddenly broken, starting with Xianrou's mother and daughter, then Concubine Ming, and now Mama Li......"
"I don't know who it will be in the future, that person can't be found in a day, and things will continue."
She frowned, not having a clue.
"And Concubine Li and the man who died in the well," Ling Juncheng added, "These people's deaths should have been done by the same person." ”
In a word, he said it neither salty nor light, and there was a coldness in his half-narrowed phoenix eyes.
"I heard that you appeared in Qingtan Pool with all the concubines that day, and you were going to pray for the Queen Mother...."Su Xi lowered her eyes and asked softly.
Speaking of Concubine Li and that man, she couldn't help but think of those days when he was so busy that he disappeared, and it was so coincidental that he appeared there that day and witnessed the scene of Ling Yuan hugging her....
Although she didn't believe what Concubine Wen said on the edge of the Green Lake, the doubts floating in her heart at that time were never dispelled.
"Well," Ling Juncheng nodded slightly, "The Queen Mother didn't always pretend to be a mother and a filial piety, she pretended to be sick and bedridden in those days, and I also cooperated with her in a play, so I took all the concubines to the temple to pray for her blessing that day." ”
"It is reasonable to be reasonable, I have done what I should do as a son, her usurpation of power this time can be said to make her own reputation ruined, even if I imprison her, the world will not talk about me, only she will be criticized."
After that incident nineteen years ago, he wanted to kill her more than once.
This time he had the opportunity to kill her, especially after Su Xi told him that she was not her biological mother, he couldn't suppress the urge to kill her.
Just because she and Hou Ye are siblings, Hou Ye secretly helped him through crises during the years he was in exile.
Leaving her alive was just to ease the Hou Ye's heart, and it was all for the sake of the Hou Ye's face.
