Chapter 123:-for-tat

Li Moxiao didn't care about the broken tiles all over the ground, just looked at her with a misty gaze, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, reached out and stroked her delicate and tear-rippling cheeks, and said softly: "Don't cry!" I won't let you go out to be gentle and kind, and this time my promise to you will never fail..."

Zhao Zijin looked at him fixedly through hazy teary eyes, as if she wanted to imprint this moment deep into her heart, like the eternity of the seal, warm her lost heart, and rekindle her infatuation and love for him.

Suddenly, Li Moxiao held her face, looking at it tenderly, in his memory, the lively figure always followed him, until one day, he took her hand and solemnly promised that when she grew up in the future, he would allow her a red wedding dress. Perhaps, at that time, he was young and ignorant, and he was infatuated with her simple loveliness. Maybe he was young and frivolous at that time, thinking that he was in a position of power and omnipotent, but he experienced a lot of helplessness and lost the promise he made back then.

Ever since he had completely recognized that he couldn't help himself, he had never gazed at her face so closely, maybe he was drunk! He laughed bitterly at himself, his fingertips twitching, and his hand wiped away the tears from her face. sighed: "Zijin, if there is an afterlife... I'm just a normal person, so... I will definitely protect you until you are old..."

"Zijin don't want to be born in the next life!" The tears that Zhao Zijin had just held back were surging down in an instant, wetting his hands, and she trembled as faintly as the echo of the silent valley: "I just want to be able to advance and retreat with His Highness in this life, and accompany him..."

Her tears swept across Li Moxiao's palm, burning his palm, and although her voice was faint, it still floated into his ears without falling a word. Suddenly, there were countless ripples in his heart, and the innocent and lovely little girl grew up, no longer the innocent and innocent and ignorant of the world that he knew. He read sorrow in her teary eyes, and was her sorrow because of his indifference? Sure enough, he still hurt her.

"A man's heart can only be borne by a woman, since I promised Li Ruo's heroic pride and domination of the world, how can I go against it again?" Li Moxiao gently withdrew his hands and hung down weakly. He frowned, his eyes were deep, and he said gloomily: "Let yourself go!" Stop being stubborn, I don't deserve you like this..."

"Why didn't Your Highness let yourself go?" Zhao Zijin hurriedly interrupted him, over the years, she was used to waiting and waiting, silently expecting. Never been more eager to win his heart, perhaps... It was wine that braved her humble and cowardly love for him. "Zijin only loves one person in His Royal Highness in this life, even if he goes to make Rouran and kiss and wanders the world, he can't change his original intention, and he will not change until death!"

"You..." Li Moxiao stared at his slightly smoky eyes, some red eyes flashed in shock, Zhao Zijin's resolute tone, and this shocking straightforwardness made his heart ripple again, round by circle, rippling and rippling. At this time, she did not have the shyness and twisting of a girl, and her frankness made him dizzy, breathing until he was stagnant, and he was speechless.

Zhao Zijin secretly breathed a long sigh in her heart, the whole person relaxed, finally, she poured out her heart to him, calmly, no matter what decision he made in the end, she did not regret the bravery at this moment, after all, she worked hard for love and fought for it.

Li Moxiao held her breath, her confused and hazy eyes stared at her in a daze, her face reflected a resolute and unusual dazzle, what kind of love is this? caused her to shine brightly.

Li Moxiao stroked his heavy forehead, no longer able to raise his eyes to stare at her, and couldn't say anything to her, so he slowly lowered his head and threw himself on the desk.

Zhao Zijin was stunned, and after half a sound, she suddenly smiled bitterly: It turns out... He's really drunk! He got up and took his robe and put it on for him, sat back down in his seat, and looked at him quietly with his hands on his cheeks. Her mind was in a mess, Li Moxiao was so abnormal today, I was afraid that she had suffered a big blow from Sister Ruo...

The sky was getting dark, Zhao Zijin slowly got up and left, and when she came to the door, she stopped suddenly, looked back, looked around the bedroom nostalgically, and finally fell on the handsome face that was drunk and unconscious, and froze for a long time before she looked away.

Leaving the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Zijin came to the Splendid Garden and knocked on Su Liruo's door.

Su Liruo saw that her eyes were red and swollen, she was slightly stunned, looked at her suspiciously, and was about to ask, but Zhao Zijin threw herself into her arms, wrapped his hands around her waist, and choked up: "Sister Ruo, thank you!"

"What's wrong?" Su Liruo stroked her back and asked in a low voice, but she guessed in her heart.

"After His Royal Highness left my sister's place, he took me to his bedroom for a day of drinking, and poured out many heartfelt words that Zijin had never heard." Zhao Zijin buried his head in Su Liruo's chest, his heart was full of joy and sorrow, sad that Li Moxiao seemed to be arrogant and noble, but in fact, he was full of pain and couldn't help himself. Glad he hadn't forgotten the promise he had made, and though he had spoken out through the strength of his wine, and had advised her to forget his youthful frivolity, she at least knew that he had always taken it to heart. Of course, Zhao Zijin is more sober than ever, if it weren't for Su Liruo's indifference and persecution, Li Moxiao would never let off his guard so easily and confide in her without warning.

"That's great!" Su Liruo smiled when he heard this: "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little reckless and arrogant, his heart is always good, and he is by no means a merciless person."

"If sister, he is so obsessed with you, isn't my sister moved at all?" Zhao Zijin remembered that he had traveled thousands of mountains and rivers to follow the Moon Kingdom, and did not hesitate to take the risk to bring Su Liruo back from the palace of the king of Yi, and he was not afraid of King Luo's party eyeing him, and took the opportunity to fan the flames. In the face of imminent danger, he still wholeheartedly protects her, and allows her to reign in the world and be a song.

"Since you have listened to his heart, you will understand his heart." Su Liruo lightly grabbed her shoulders and said lightly: "Although he was reckless and impulsive for me, he made a lot of mistakes, so that he fell into the grip and was subject to King Luo's attack. In fact, you are the real guardian in his heart, perhaps, he treasured you too deeply, blocked for too long, even he didn't dare to touch himself, because he wanted to protect you from any harm. ”

"I often hear my father marvel at my sister's exquisite intelligence, no one can match it." Zhao Zijin easily opened the hands around her waist, looked up at her face, and couldn't help but praise: "Sure enough, if my sister has extraordinary human wisdom, Your Highness will do everything she can, and she is not afraid of losing her future, any woman will be moved by His Highness's infatuation, but my sister can be extremely calm and understand it, and really understand the world!"

"Who did you learn from such flattering rhetoric?" Su Liruo pretended to be angry, poked her forehead lightly with her fingertips, and then said with a gentle face: "Why don't you stay by his side, but what are you doing here with me?"

"Your Highness confessed his thoughts through the strength of wine, but I am afraid that he will wake up and be embarrassed by me!" Speaking of Li Moxiao, Zhao Zijin remembered that he wiped her tears for her, looked at her stupidly, couldn't help but have a shy cheek, and pursed his lips and smiled. "Besides, if my sister has good intentions for me, how can Zijin not know!"

Su Liruo smiled slightly: "You ghost clever!" She was very relieved in her heart, a few days ago, she was still in tears, crying helplessly about Rouran and her relatives, and now she looks like she is full of energy and shy answers, and it seems that she knows Li Moxiao's intentions, so that she has nothing to fear and is happy. After thinking about it, she said softly: "Okay, it's getting dark, you should go and rest, think about how to face the prince tomorrow!"

"If my sister is making fun of others!" Zhao Zijin lowered his eyes, buried his head in her chest shyly, and said in a muffled voice: "Zijin is sleeping in my sister's room tonight, talking about my heart..."

"Okay, you and I will talk tonight." Su Liruo smiled lightly and hugged her to the inner room. "Zijin should have saved a belly, so let's talk about it in a hurry!"

Two slender and petite figures embraced each other and walked away, leaving a graceful drift of reflections scattered on the ground.

It is said that since that day, Li Moxiao pulled Zhao Zijin to drink and confide in his heart, and there have been subtle changes between the two. After waking up, Li Moxiao was as gentle and casual as when drinking, as if the arrogant person in the past no longer existed. And Zhao Zijin tried her best to suppress the joy and sorrow in her heart, speculated and was uneasy, and tried to pretend that nothing happened, but her eyes betrayed her heart, facing Li Moxiao, her flickering eyes that had nowhere to glance made Su Xiru easily detect that something was going on between the two? Especially the embarrassment when she lowered her eyes, showing the shyness of her daughter's family. But more often, it was Li Moxiao who silently condensed Zhao Zijin's depression that made Su Xiru suspicious.

She found Su Liruo and asked her directly, did she match Li Moxiao and Zhao Zijin?

Su Liruo wrote lightly: "Your Highness already has a child in her heart, I am just the beauty of an adult, why is my sister angry?"

"Don't you forget our plans?" Su Xiru held back his anger and said in a low voice: "If you can't borrow Li Moxiao's power, if you want to restore the country, how easy is it?"

Su Liruo looked at her fixedly, her eyes were deep, she knew that her sister's anger was not entirely because of Li Moxiao and Zhao Zijin's affairs, but more because of Feng Xuanjing, who was far away in the Moon Kingdom.

The day before yesterday, Zhao Zijin rushed to the garden, and as soon as they met, they talked endlessly, King Ling of the Moon Kingdom abandoned the title and gave up the title of king, and the strangest thing was that he actually carried the former princess away from the court, traveled all over the world, and wandered.

Su Liruo immediately stopped pruning the flower branches, wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, squinted her eyes, and was stunned against the scorching sun of early summer.

Seeing this, Zhao Zijin pulled her to hide under the shade tree, "This King Ling is really shocking, he is willing to be prosperous and glorious, wandering ordinary, how can he still take the former crown princess away, wouldn't he fall into the hands of the people and laugh and talk?" ”

Su Liruo pondered for a moment and sighed: "Xu is that he knows that the world does not tolerate it, so he gave up his title, but he has always been indifferent to glory and yearning for freedom, so he doesn't care about the madness of the years."

"If my sister knows King Ling very well, it can be seen that he is a casual and easy person." Zhao Zijin looked at her depressed face, and said in a snort: "Actually, I still heard about King Yi from my father, but last time Zijin said a lot and made my sister so sad, so I don't know whether to say it this time..."

Su Liruo was shocked, and hurriedly raised her eyes to look at Zhao Zijin, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught the pink clothes next to the rockery, and her heart moved: It's my sister! Then he looked sideways, but there was nothing. After a moment of stunnedness, she said in a low and lonely voice: "But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Zhao Zijin looked at her hesitantly, trying to see some clues from her obscure face, so as to figure out whether to say it or not, but in the end she didn't see anything, so she had to whisper: "My sister is so bitter in my heart, it must be for the king of Yi, Zijin still don't make my sister sad..."

Su Liruo looked at her back running in a hurry, her throat was tight, and she couldn't make a sound to call her.

After thinking about it, Su Liruo's deep eyes looked directly at the indignant Su Xiru, and said in an accentuated tone: "Sister is so angry because of King Ling?"

"Nonsense!" Su Xiru was stunned, frowned, and said sharply: "What does his business have to do with me?"

"My sister always likes duplicity to hide her feelings for King Ling, is it so difficult to face her inner thoughts?" Su Liruo slowed down her eyes and sighed.

Su Xiru bit her lip tightly, her eyes were full of anger, it seemed that she had always been in charge of other people's hearts, when would it be someone else's turn to figure out her thoughts? What's more, this person is still her angry sister, and now she actually persuades her in turn, which is ridiculous! Su Xiru lowered her gaze and said coldly: "Ruo'er is too naΓ―ve to think, Feng Xuanjing... He can't get into my eyes yet. ”

As she spoke, she smiled, her anger was gone, and between her eyebrows, she was extremely charming and confusing.

Su Liruo was stunned and faintly uneasy, in her eyes, her sister's bewitching smile at this time was as bloodthirsty and terrifying, and she unconsciously clenched her slightly trembling hands.

Sure enough, Su Xi bit his bloodstained lip lightly, and said in a voice as moving as the crisp chirping of a nightingale: "If I, Su Xi, the man I want to choose, must be eloquent and strategic, dictatorial life and death, how can I be a person who sings poems and caresses the qin?" My goal has always been Feng Xuanyu, and there is nothing about Feng Xuanjing at all..."

"You...", Su Liruo's heart stabbed through her heart, staring at her with her eyes, her clenched fingertips almost poking into the flesh of her palm.

"Why, didn't Ruo'er already know? Why are you so surprised? Su Xiru gritted her teeth, hid her smile, and said hatefully: "Could it be that Ruo'er thinks that if you cut off Li Moxiao's thoughts and push him to Zhao Zijin, you can return to Feng Xuanyu's side?" You're wrong! In the restoration plan, it is necessary to borrow the power of Li Moxiao, and even more importantly, to borrow the hand of Feng Xuanyu, there is no choice..."

"So what?" Su Liruo's angry eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't help but roar: "Li Moxiao is a chess piece, King Ling is stepping on the board, and then... Feng Xuanyu is the ultimate target of your use..."She seemed to roar with all her might, staggering and almost falling to the ground, barely standing firm with the help of the delicate carved wood cabinet. His eyebrows were stained with sad decadence, and he muttered to himself: "In that case, why do you go around in such a big circle..."

"There's no way, just tricking you away from Feng Xuanyu is the best control over him." Su Xiru's indifferent words pierced Su Liruo's heart like a sharp blade, causing her five muscles and six lungs to ache. And Su Xiru's voice sounded in her ears again, "You don't have to be so depressed, take out the murderous aura when you played to eradicate Li Zhenchen, then, everything is for you... Easy! ”

Su Liruo raised her eyes in shock, during the period of coming to the Sun Kingdom, she thought that she had unloaded her hatred and scheming, and even felt her change, the stubborn water chestnut was no longer so sharp, and it seemed to be a lot softer. However, at this moment, Su Liruo suddenly realized that she was wrong, in fact, she had been calculating all along, she had never given up using Feng Xuanyu, and she had never resolved her resentment against Feng Xuanyu. This resentment included his indifference to her at the martial arts conference, his cruel murderous aura towards her later in the Moon Kingdom, and the hatred that fueled the destruction of the country.

"The moment I left the Moon Country, I had already given up on him." Su Liruo endured the pain that permeated his whole body, forced himself to stand firm, hid his grief and indignation, and said with a cold face: "I'm afraid everything can't go as you wish..."

"It's okay!" Su Xiru said indifferently: "You said it doesn't count, what Feng Xuanyu did, this... That's the most important thing! ”

Su Liruo closed his eyes in despair, and after a while, he said quietly: "You have worked hard all day long, calculating so many people, even Senior Bai and Shitai can be spared, but you even calculate your own heart, it is very cruel, I am afraid that one day, you will regret it..."

Su Xiru sneered, and said with a disdainful expression: "You are really confused, no wonder you are tired all day long, if you don't realize it, it seems that no one can solve your heart disease." After saying that, she suddenly remembered something, squinted her eyes and said, "You are afraid that I will not be involved with Feng Xuanyu in the future..."

"No, I'm talking about King Ling!" Su Liruo slowly opened her eyes and stared at her, cutting the railroad to the point.

"Foolish opinion!" Su Xiru's face changed greatly when she heard this, and she brushed her sleeves away angrily, and the chaotic back betrayed the panic that she couldn't hide in her heart.

After the two of them confronted each other, for a whole day, Su Liruo's mood could not be calm for a long time, and in the evening, she relaxed a little, and heard Xiaoyue's anxious voice outside the door: "Girl, Mr. is here, saying that there is something to do, and the girl must enter the palace..."
