Aunt Yun's voice trembled slightly, and her smile was unnatural: "Princess, let's go." ”

She even grabbed my arm, as if she was afraid that I would not be able to stand on my feet the next moment.

I stubbornly broke away from her hand, pointed my finger at Chu'er and asked, "Auntie, is what she just said true?" "How can I believe that the little leaf that has accompanied me through so many days and nights, the little leaf that is as tricky as a fox...... How dare I believe it?

Aunt Yun looked at me in embarrassment, but still avoided my eyes, she sighed and didn't say anything, but she acquiesced.

My questioning eyes turned to Ah Shi and Bai Yi again, one of them bowed his head and was silent, the other was indifferent, and none of them refuted me.

I was suddenly enveloped by a mood called despair, and rushed forward with a gloomy face, and even Chu'er was frightened back by my fierce voice: "Tell me every word you know, if you dare to say half a lie, I will kill you immediately." ”

Chu'er smiled like a flower: "Half a month ago, Xiao Ye was locked up in the riot room and died that night. ”

The smile on her thin face stung me deeply, and I slapped her with a wave of my hand, and my palms were numb with pain: "You are talking nonsense! Xiao Ye is my maid, who dares to move her without knowing me? ”

Aunt Yun hurriedly walked over and turned over my hand to examine it carefully, and said distressedly: "Princess, you are-" and turned to Chu'er and said: "You are already a substitute, and if there is another incident, the prince will not spare it." ”

As soon as I heard this, I became even more angry, gritted my teeth and said, "Heh, it's all said and done, can you still hide it from me, auntie?" ”

I have never spoken to Aunt Yun in this tone, although I know in my heart that she is for my good, but I am still carried away by Xiao Ye's death, and I feel bad when I see her face red and white.

Chu'er continued to laugh and said: "A spy in the south, it is already a great gift for the prince to leave her whole corpse, but unfortunately, even if the body is thrown into the residence of the prince of the south, there is no one to bury it, and the body is eaten by wild beasts." The princess rushed to the mass grave at this time, but she was afraid that she could still see a few bones that had been gnawed. ”

These vicious words came like a mountain of seas, and every word fell on the tip of my heart, the spy of the southern kingdom...... The body was thrown into a mass grave...... Heh, it turns out that this is what Li Xuan is trapped in. It was as if a piece of my heart had been dug out raw, and the blood kept flowing out, drowning me so much that I couldn't stand up.

What kind of place is the violent room, no matter how stupid I am, I will never know, it is the darkest and most terrifying hell in the world, not to mention that the person in charge is a bloodless and ruthless person like Qingluo. His method is that even Bai Yi can smell the color change, in the dark and terrifying violent room, where can the delicate Xiaoye withstand the torture tools of flowing water?

Half a month ago, when I had just escaped from the palace, at that time I couldn't protect myself, Xiao Ye's identity was exposed, and I was tortured to death; When I picked up a life, I was still immersed in the twilight with Li Xuan, and I didn't know anything about it.

When Xiao Ye is alone, she must be hoping that I can stand up for her and protect her. But I didn't even see her last time, how sad is that?

The pain hit my heart, and a heavy pain came from my chest, and I couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and the fishy sweetness in my mouth couldn't be dispersed. I heard the shouts of Aunt Yun and Ah Shi in my ears, and the white and moving expression reflected in my eyes, I waved my hand at Aunt Yun, signaling that she could still hold on, and when I looked up, I was still the flourishing hibiscus, but I was no longer in the state of mind when I came.

I moved my steps and walked out of the flower and wood house with grief, and the placket of my clothes was dyed a bright red, which was shocking. It didn't take long for Steward Li to appear, I don't know who said what to him, his expression was very solemn, and he spoke to me cautiously: "The prince has not returned to the house this morning, the princess, please go back to Mozhuju to rest first, and when the prince comes back to explain to you in person, your health is fine, you must not be able to-"

"What can't be more?" The bitterness in the smile on my face is known only to me: "If he really cared about my life or death, he wouldn't hurt me like this." ”

The relationship between me and Xiao Ye's inseparable master and servant, he clearly saw it in his eyes, but this man who kept saying that he loved me a moment ago executed my maid as soon as he turned around, and he also seduced me to stand in his position with clever words, I dare to say that Li Xuan didn't even frown when he had murderous intentions. Isn't he the one who is accustomed to holding the life and death of others in his hands?

No matter how disdainful I was to listen to Steward Li's persuasion, I would not go back to Mozhuju, so I returned to Moyuan with a sad heart and went to the room where Xiao Ye lived. Aunt Yun and Bai Yi have been following behind me, I pushed open the door with my bare hands, Chu Lan was packing up Xiao Ye's things before her death, she had her back to me, her shoulders trembled slightly, she seemed to be crying, she and Xiao Ye stayed together the longest, and the pain in her heart was no less than mine.

My feet seemed to be filled with lead, and I only called to her softly: "Chu Lan-"

Chu Lan turned her head suddenly, looking a little frightened, until she saw that it was me, she was a little less nervous: "Princess, the slave maid just wants to take some Xiaoye's things and hand them over to her mother, she once told the slave maid that if she makes a mistake and is punished, let me help her family more." ”

Her eyes were hazy with tears, her eyes were red and swollen, what made Xiao Ye most relieved was the food and clothing of a large family in the future, how could I bear to blame her?

I looked at Chu Lan before she had time to pack up the baggage, all the jewelry and silver taels that Xiao Ye had accumulated, each piece of jewelry was picked up by me on weekdays to give her, she was the age of Aimei, I chose the most beautiful jewelry, she laughed heartlessly every time, laughing at me, the dressing box of the real princess became more and more shabby.

Such a filial and kind Xiao Ye, how could he be the spy of the Southern Kingdom in Li Xuan's mouth?

My hand caressed these familiar hairpin earrings, Xiao Ye had never worn them in front of me once, so she hid the things I gave me well, each one was as shiny as new, and I couldn't help but feel a dull pain in my heart.

My fingertips rested on a delicate dagger, like a magic spell, and I couldn't take my eyes off it, and I couldn't help but be drawn to it. Before I could react, the dagger was already tightly held in my hand, as if driven by it, I pulled out the sharp blade, and the blue sky and white sun, its cold glimmer made people's hearts tremble.

I carefully looked at the dark lines carved on the blade, the lines were twisted like a dragon, and I looked at it, but it was so familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

Aunt Yun noticed that something was wrong with me, and shouted: "Princess? ”

There is indeed something wrong with this dagger, it can absorb people's hearts, but I can only be at the mercy of it at this time, and I can't extricate myself from it.

Li Xuan stepped into the room, Chu Lan stood up suddenly, and choked up with some fear: "Lord Wang-" She knelt down with a plop and bowed her head: "The slave is guilty." ”

Naturally, she sympathized with the "spy" Xiao Ye and made me sad, I looked at Chu Lan's voice, a trace of panic flashed on Li Xuan's cold face, and it crashed straight into my eyes, heh, is he hesitating how to explain it to me? At this point, what else is there to explain?

I couldn't figure out how if he cared about me, how could he hurt someone I cared about when I didn't know it.

If he has a deep affection for me, how can he not imagine my sadness and resentment? I really don't understand.

He walked in a few steps, took my hand that was hanging by my side and didn't hold the dagger, and tried to warm me with his hot palm: "Xi'er, I will give you an explanation, but I need you to believe me." ”

Li Xuan had never whispered to anyone like this, not even facing Qi Emperor Long Xiao, but at this moment, I was carried away by a wave of grief and indignation, thinking only about Xiao Ye's tragic death and his deception of me, and brushed his hand away without hesitation: "How can I believe you?" I believe that you treat me sincerely, but I lost Xiao Ye, who is the same sister as me, Li Xuan, what do you tell me to believe in you? ”

When he heard my words, he was shocked, and asked me, "Is not the friendship between me and you like that of a servant?" ”

"Xiao Ye is not just a servant girl!" There was a clear hatred in my heart: "She is a person who is really good to me, a person who really cares about me!" ”

For a person like me who has been cut off from the past, even if there is some warmth that is as sincere as a leaf, I will subconsciously grasp it, because deep in my heart, I need this clear and pure warmth so much to drive away that insecurity. How could Li Xuan understand? He wouldn't even tell me about my past.

In the past, I would have been disheartened with him, but I fell in love with him and became weak, and he hurt me, and I deceived myself to question him, thinking that he would give me a reason to convince myself, and in the end, I was really selfish. As an important minister, he and Xiao Ye are their own masters, and their positions are different, so why should I throw my emotional burden to him?

I failed to protect Xiao Ye, and I couldn't find a balance between my love for Li Xuan and my guilt for Xiao Ye.

Li Xuan's face was unbearable, he held my shoulder, and said firmly: "I'll give you time to face this change, but Xi'er, she entered the mansion as a maid, was willing to be a slave, and even approached you, all with the purpose of spying. I hope you can also stand in my position and think about it, I can't keep such a person. ”

I asked: "She has been with me for two years, how she treats me, no one is more qualified to comment than me, you erase these things with a sentence of 'prevention before it happens', when you executed her, did you think about my feelings?" ”

"Li Xuan, that's a human life." Human life is like an ant in his eyes, he may not care, but I do.

Li Xuan withdrew his arms, his deep gaze grabbed me, and he didn't say any more, Li Bo saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly motioned for Aunt Yun and the others to withdraw, and when the door was closed, he spoke again: "Xi'er, I just don't want you to be betrayed by someone you trust, but-"

Before he could finish his sentence, the dagger in my hand pierced into his abdomen, and the movement was so fast that he did not expect it, he snorted, probably sensing that something was wrong with me, and his puzzled gaze fell on me, I was speechless in shock, and looked at him with round and clear eyes, not knowing how to explain.
