"Shameless! What do you have to do with these despicable means? Li Mo Xiao turned around angrily, but when he met Zhao Zijin's eclipsed eyes, he was stunned, and he avoided his gaze with guilt and guilt.

"Ability? Hum! This king was born and died on the battlefield, wielding a sword to slash the enemy, which is comparable to His Royal Highness the Prince's merry and happy beauty? Li Zhenchen looked at the two of them coldly, a gloomy sneer crossed the corners of his mouth, and he picked his tail tip, and said: "If you play tricks, you will naturally not be able to compare with His Royal Highness the Prince's other garden." With that, he snorted coldly and walked away leisurely.

Li Moxiao moved his eyes to look at Li Zhenchen's back, his hands gradually clenched into fists, gurgling.

Zhao Zijin sighed secretly, laughed at himself bitterly, hid his sadness, and took a few steps forward and asked, "How could he know about Sister Ruo's in the other garden?"

"Looks like he's already visited the garden." Li Moxiao looked back when he heard this, surprised by her calm and calm expression, and couldn't help but slowly relax his fists and stare at her suspiciously. His lips squirmed slightly, but he didn't say anything, only sighed deeply, and swallowed the words that he was going to explain to her.

A few days ago, in the face of Zhao Zijin, who was panicked and crying, he immediately swore that he would never let Li Zhenchen's trick succeed, and would definitely prevent her from sending Rouran and kissing to let his father take back his fate. Unexpectedly, his father's attitude was tough this time, and as soon as he mentioned that Zhao Zijin's envoy to Rouran and his relatives was Li Zhenchen's strategy, his father was furious and angrily scolded him for ignoring the overall situation and making it difficult to take on the big responsibility. At this time, Gonggong Jiang secretly pulled him aside and quietly told him that His Majesty's body was not as good as day by day, and he often stayed awake all night...

After listening to Jiang's father-in-law's words, Li Moxiao had to leave in a huff. And today, it was not easy to catch Li Zhenchen, but he was fiercely threatened by him, at this time, Li Moxiao's heart was secretly annoyed, he did not want to lose his trust in Zhao Zijin, and he did not want to disappoint his father.

Zhao Zijin frowned and said, "That... Wouldn't it be dangerous if my sister was in danger? ”

Li Moxiao suddenly came back to his senses, calmed his eyes, turned around and walked away.

Zhao Zijin stared at his hurried back in a daze, her eyes were filled with mist, she pursed her lips, sniffed, and when Su Xiru approached, she said softly: "Let's go!" As he spoke, he wanted to turn around and leave.

"Why do you have to do that?" Su Xiru stopped her and stared at her indifferent face, "Do you know that Ruo'er has no intention of him, but wants to give it up?" It's not like you... Zhao Zijin? Besides, loving someone has always been selfish, and your generosity... will bury your love. ”

Su Xiru said categorically, mercilessly, and even in a sharp tone.

Zhao Zijin froze his back and turned around, and after a long while, he smiled with a desolate smile: "Chasing someone who doesn't love me will only make me tired, so... Why not let it go? With that, she slowly shifted her steps and walked away.

Su Xiru looked at her lonely back, and suddenly smiled bitterly and sighed, Zhao Zijin at this moment was very like Ruo'er, she seemed to see Su Liruo's sadness when she left the Moon Country, but she was so resolute! Sure enough, the closer they got, the more similar the two became, perhaps, Zhao Zijin saw some emotions from Ruo'er that she couldn't see clearly. As Zhao Zijin said, he let go because he was tired, not because he didn't love it.

Su Xiru's eyes suddenly appeared in front of her that indifferent and elegant figure, her heart trembled, frowned, and walked away.

Splendid Garden.

Su Liruo walked in the garden, and noticed that the flowers in the garden were thick, clustered and delicate. She raised her eyes and glanced at the few plum trees on the edge of the garden wall, which had already withered silently before the spring thunder, and only the stump branches were standing.

Su Liruo stared at the lonely plum branches in the garden full of colorful flowers, lonely and isolated by the wall. It's just that the people who planted the flowers were careless, how could they coexist with the proud and mundane things in the same garden? Doesn't it break its pride?

Or perhaps, the person who planted the flower has another deep meaning, in order to weaken its awe-inspiring arrogance, contaminated with some vulgar powder, so that it can not be quietly left alone and easy for the world to appreciate.

However, is the warm season greenhouse its essence? It was born arrogant, and would rather be cold and open in the snow, just for this piece of jade and ice. It is born stubborn, even if it does not melt into the world, it is still proud in the vast world, lonely and lonely, waiting for someone who is destined.

Su Liruo retracted his eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart: spring flowers and autumn moons, summer and winter snow, the four seasons change, the stars change, the day alternates, things are not people.

A rush of footsteps came suddenly, and Su Li looked back suddenly, only to see Li Moxiao approaching in a hurry. She was slightly stunned and frowned, I don't know what made him break the agreement again? But she was silent, and fixed her eyes on him.

Li Moxiao ignored Su Liruo's cold gaze, waved his hand back from the panicked Jiu'er and Xiaoyue, strode forward, and asked anxiously, "Has he been to the other garden to disturb you?"

Su Liruo's eyes sank: Damn Li Zhenchen, the prince's frivolous and irritable temperament was almost pinched to death by him, and her existence became his fatal weakness in attacking the prince, but I am afraid that this weakness will hurt Zijin's heart.

Su Li unconsciously clenched her hands in her sleeves, and after a moment, she let go of her hands, lightly opened her lips, and said calmly: "Even if he has been to the other garden, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats it indifferently, what can he do?"

"No way!" Li Moxiao was furious, and said with a gloomy face: "If you are watching the throne and fighting for the power of the court, you can bear him." But... If I dare to do it to you, I will never spare you! ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, he can't touch me." Su Liruo understood that Li Moxiao had been angered by him, and she was secretly worried in her heart, so she had to persuade in a low voice: "King Luo is scheming, he just wants to use the method of agitation to disturb it, Your Highness must not be gullible, so as not to be fooled."

"You're wrong!" Li Moxiao's face became even deeper, "He is ruthless and vicious, as long as the person he is targeting, it will be difficult to escape his palm, and the ministers will not suffer from him and be controlled by him." ”

"Since Your Highness is clear, why do you let him act recklessly?" Su Liruo was a little surprised, she didn't expect Li Moxiao to see through all this a long time ago, in her impression, he was always rash and reckless, too self-dictatorial. Perhaps, this is just her perception of Li Moxiao, in fact, he can survive in a deceitful and bloody regime, and he naturally has something extraordinary. If he hadn't had a careful mind and extraordinary means, how could he have been in peace so far? It seems that she is clumsy, as the heir of the royal family of the Sun Kingdom, I am afraid that she has experienced unimaginable life and death tribulations behind her, how can outsiders understand it? She laughed to herself and asked, "Is there no one to cure him?"

"In the first war of the Xiongnu, Li Zhenchen's reputation was greatly enhanced, and his meritorious deeds were unparalleled, and he was deeply loved by the border people and supported by the courtiers." Li Moxiao's face eased, and he said in a deep voice: "In order to obey the will of the people, my father summoned him back to the court, conferred a knighthood, gave him a mansion, and added glory. Unexpectedly, he was a wolf with ambitions, spying on the power of the court, forming a party for profit in private, and working step by step! ”

Su Liruo stared at Li Moxiao, his eyes flashed with deep meaning, and he thought for a moment and said, "In this way, his position in the government and the opposition cannot be defended?"

"Liruo!" Li Moxiao shook her hand and said solemnly: "The throne is powerful, prosperous and glorious, if he wants it, he will get it, I don't care." But you... But I can't let him do anything wrong and hurt you! ”

Su Liruo was stunned, only to feel a shock in her heart, she heard Li Moxiao degrade herself more than once, but this time she looked at him in a trance. The memories that sealed her heart came flooding in an instant, and she was arrogantly dressed in moon-white clothes, and her handsome appearance was as cold as frost, but she was willing to depreciate herself in front of her and surrender her identity. At that time, she was deeply indulged in tenderness and indulgence, and she only felt full of joy. Now that she heard that Li Moxiao was degraded to self-proclaimed, she felt dazed for a while, which was very harsh. After a long time, she came back to her senses and said with an indifferent face: "Your Highness, did you forget the agreement?" Or do you want to break your promise? ”

Li Moxiao was stunned, staring at her fixedly, disappointment filled his heart and disturbed his heart. In the end, he sighed and said, "If you want it, how can I forget!" As he spoke, he easily opened her hand, turned around slowly, and muttered to himself: "Since you like heroes and pride, and you reign in the world, I will allow you to be a song and a horse, and you will have no worries in your life..."

Su Liruo stared blankly at him and walked away, his eyes were gloomy, he shook his head and smiled helplessly: You are not my lover after all, and I am not your destination, in this case, why be involved and add to the sadness? Now you complain that I am indifferent and ruthless, and if you find your love one day, you will be grateful to me for my cruelty today.

After thinking about it, Su Liruo had no intention of watching the thousands of purples and reds in the garden, and turned back to the room.

Li Moxiao left the garden in a dejected manner, but met Zhao Zijin, who was also depressed, at the gate of the other garden, he stepped forward quickly, suddenly grabbed her hand, and walked out.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Zhao Zijin was startled in a trance, and when she fixed her eyes and saw that it was Li Moxiao, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What is this for?"

"Let's go! Drink with me. Li Moxiao didn't stop, held her delicate little hand tightly, and said without thinking: "If you don't get drunk today, you won't return!"

Zhao Zijin frowned and squirmed her lips, but she never said anything, and involuntarily followed his footsteps, she knew in her heart that he had hit a wall with Sister Ruo again.

Zhao Zijin originally thought that Li Moxiao would take her to the restaurant to pour a big drink, but he didn't think that he actually led her to his bedroom? When Zhao Zijin was still at a loss, Li Moxiao leaned over and took out two jars of wine from under the bed, put them on the desk, and waved away a bunch of articles and books on the desk, and the pounding sound startled Zhao Zijin, she was making a speech, but Li Moxiao made a silent gesture with a solemn face, and then beckoned to her and motioned for her to come over.

Zhao Zijin looked at him with some laughter, isn't he just drinking? How do you make it look like you're plotting something, nervous? Although she was puzzled, she still moved over.

Li Moxiao carried a jar of wine in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Do you dare to get drunk? ”

Zhao Zijin pursed his lips, flashing his dark eyes, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, Zijin will accompany His Highness to have a drink!"

Li Mo Xiao Suqing's face eased, showed a gentle smile, grabbed the wine jar and poured two glasses, moved it to her, and said loudly: "Come, dry this glass first, see how much you drink?"

Zhao Zijin picked up the cup, stared at the mellow fragrance in the cup, smiled slightly, and said a little bitterly: "Earlier, you could drink a few cups freely, but later, my father and brother didn't allow it..."

"You're in too much of a hurry." Li Moxiao picked up the cup, but he also drank it all, half a sound, he smiled bitterly: "This wine is the best Biqiong, but there is no sense of sweetness and refreshingness, it seems that you and I are too heavy on our minds, and we have ruined the good wine!"

Zhao Zijin was stunned, his heart swelled with indescribable shock, and his eyes stared at him blankly, today's casual and gentle Li Moxiao is completely different from the past. Maybe it's because she is always used to looking up to him and persistently following him, so he has always been high and noble in her heart, and she can only look at him from a distance and admire him, but she doesn't dare to get close, for fear of blaspheming this sacredness. When the disappointment accumulates into a wall and collapses, she finally calmly faces her wishful thinking failure, although it hurts her heart, but she has awakened years of obsession, and it collapses in an instant, although she is embarrassed, she can only let go with tears. After all, she has been in love and worked hard, even if she has wasted her cardamom years, she can be infatuated with one person, and she has no regrets in this life.

"Zijin, you have a lively temperament and yearn for an unrestrained life, but it's a pity... Being born as a daughter blocks your steps of freedom. Li Moxiao poured wine to himself, and after drinking a few glasses in a row, he lowered his forehead, closed his eyes slightly, and said depressedly: "Actually, there are too many helpless people in this world, I was born as a descendant of the royal family, with a noble identity and a noble position. Can... So what? Endless intrigues, the urgent strong eating the weak, and the imminent plundering of power. Even my concubines were stuffed into the prince's mansion by those ambitious courtiers who were both soft and hard, ridiculous! My lifelong partner has become a victim of the government and opposition regime, no... It's sad, I don't have a choice, and I can't choose...", he grabbed the jar and took a few sips with his head up.

Zhao Zijin was taken aback, but he didn't have time to stop him, he had already put down the wine jar, wiped his mouth, and smiled at her: "Don't worry, this little wine can't get me drunk."

Zhao Zijin stared at her in astonishment, on the one hand, because he was honest with her and opened his heart to confide. On the other hand, because he actually derogated him, and showed an indifferent and easy-going attitude, he who was once arrogant and awe-inspiring seemed to no longer exist, and there was only a handsome boy in front of him, and he was so approachable.

Li Moxiao raised his head and drank a few more sips on the wine jar, and said in a low voice: "I have always wanted to break through many obstacles and long for the freedom to squander wantonly, however, from the moment I was born, I was destined to be bound for a lifetime... Do you know? Liruo... She is like a life-saving straw when I drowned, when I face the loneliness and boredom in my heart, I desperately want to escape and leave, but I can't break free from the shackles of this fate. The appearance of Liruo made me see hope, the hope of breaking the shackles of fate, if, fate trapped me tightly like an impregnable fortress, and Liruo is the gap in this impregnable fortress, which can allow me to breathe freely, do whatever I want, regardless of the consequences..."

As he spoke, he paused, and suddenly smiled bitterly, laughing sadly and sadly: "You must be very disappointed!" So I'm so unbearable... Hypocrisy... Debauch... Uninhibited... I am the future prince of Daylight, how can I destroy the country because of a woman? Buried the world of the day? But... Zijin, you know what? Don't hesitate to be yourself... Really happy... Very happy..."

Zhao Zijin quietly listened to his muttering to himself, and gently drank the bitterness in his cup, she didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing him, she finally took off her resolute disguise and became vigilant.

Unconsciously, with Li Moxiao's whispering voice, a jar of wine had bottomed out, he squinted his slightly drunken gaze, staring at Zhao Zijin with strange feelings, for a long time, he said in a hoarse and low voice, with an emotion close to sadness: "I'm sorry... Zijin, forgive me for making a rash promise, but I failed you... You are so innocent and immaculate, clear to the bottom, how can I bear to let you bear the calamity of this deep palace and fall into the abyss. I'd rather you hate me than dare to keep you with me, because I'm afraid... I'll hurt you if I'm close, so... I can't... I can't..."

Zhao Zijin's heartstrings seemed to have been hit hard, stinging her limbs, and tears were so sudden that her eyes were surging and puffing, her cheeks rolled down her chin, and her collar was wet.

She bit her lip tightly, her hands clutched tightly on her sleeves, her whole body was so stiff that she trembled slightly unconsciously, and she couldn't help but let her tears pour down like rain and sob.

"I'm sorry... Zijin, I thought that by protecting you in this way, you would be able to live a worry-free life, but unexpectedly... You are finally involved in this power struggle because of me..."Li Moxiao let go of his palm, and the wine altar fell to the ground with a bang, shattering to the ground,

Zhao Zijin raised his teary eyes in shock, and looked at him in a panic for a while.
