In the main hall.

Nalan Zhi frowned, hesitantly looked at Chu Yuli's side face, and said worriedly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the princess still refuses to eat, if it continues like this, His Majesty is worried that something will happen!" ”

Hearing this, Chu Yuli paused for a moment, and her slender jade fingers gently lifted up, plucking the strings under her fingers, bringing out a burst of empty sound.

The sound of the piano was sparse, and it resounded in the main hall.

With a sigh, he asked, "Who is that man?" ”

"Shangguan Zifeng, the prince of the Guangling Palace, we sent someone to assassinate him today, but it didn't work." Nalan replied respectfully.

Chu Yuli laughed, seemingly gentle and elegant, but in fact, there was a hint of coldness: "Shangguan Zifeng, I don't have the courage to marry my Chu State, but I still want to provoke Qiqi." If it hadn't been discovered by the main palace earlier, I don't know what it would have become. ”

As soon as he said this, Nalan was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has already checked, Shangguan Zifeng is indeed very good to the princess, especially these days, and he has not done anything wrong with the princess, but the ministers think that they are probably sincere, but why do you think that they are unwilling to marry the Chu State?" ”

Chu Yuli lightly hooked her lips, looked at Nalan Zhi, and said softly: "If you Nalan Zhi, now the princess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty wants to marry you, do you dare to marry?" ”

As soon as the question came out, Nalan Zhi fell silent. The Nalan family is also a big family in the Chu State, almost similar to the Guangling Palace, but it is not as famous as the Guangling Palace. However, if he wants Nalan Zhi to marry the princess of another country, he really doesn't have the guts, it is tantamount to asking for trouble, provoking the suspicion of the king, and even joking with the lives of the entire family!

Thinking like this, he immediately shook his head sincerely: "If it is a subordinate, the subordinate will not dare!" However, has His Royal Highness ever thought about it, if Shangguan Zifeng is willing to withstand these pressures for the sake of the princess? ”

"He is willing, and neither are the Guangling kings and his wife." Shangguan Jinrui is such a rational and cautious person, and has absolute political acumen, and Mu Yueqi is undoubtedly a smart person, both of them will definitely not let such a thing happen.

So, Nalan Zhi finally fell silent. What His Royal Highness said is indeed the truth, and he has just received the news...... "Your Highness, someone has already found out the news, Shangguan Zifeng was punished by Princess Guangling to kneel in the ancestral hall, and it has been half a day." And the Guangling Mansion has invited someone to the Prince De's Mansion to hire, and the Prince and Princess De heard that the Princess Guangling has been unhappy recently, and she also made a post, and will take the county lord to visit in person tomorrow morning! ”

He originally thought that the other party did this because he was assassinated by their Chu people and was unhappy, so he deliberately did it for them. It means that there are many people in the world who are willing to marry Shangguan Zifeng, but they don't want their princess. But now, when His Highness said this, he realized that the other party was playing really.

And such a thing was naturally expected by Chu Yuli. sighed softly: "The Guangling King and his wife thought of Shangguan Zifeng's thoughts, of course they would start early." Therefore, this palace must not let Qiqi see her again, and must not let Qiqi know about this matter, if she knew, she would be even more sad. ”

Nalan Zhi nodded in agreement, looking at the princess's determination to go on a hunger strike, she could probably understand that the princess was sincere, and if she let the princess know that Shangguan Zifeng was going to get married soon, I am afraid it would be even more sad. "But if you lock up the princess like this, she will have a grudge against you!"

"It's better to be resentful of this palace than to be sad and desperate. Just let her think that it was the palace stick beating the mandarin ducks, at least it was not unbearable. "A relationship can't get a result in the end, and the reason is that the interference of the outside world leads to the inability to be together, which is much better than the inside.

As soon as these words came out, Nalan Zhi sighed and stopped talking. Your Royal Highness This is indeed for the good of the princess, the princess is simple, if you know that Shangguan Zifeng's parents don't want to be her daughter-in-law, and Shangguan Zifeng himself will marry the county lord of Prince De's mansion, I'm afraid ...... Alas! Is it really good to just let the princess resent His Highness like this?

And at this moment, Chu Yuli's slender fingers were withdrawn from the famous qin, and he turned his head to look at Nalan Zhi in vain: "The person who blew up the mountain, have you found it?" ”

"Nope! The other party's power is also extremely huge, and our people have just found a little clue, and they will soon be cut off! And the strange thing is that when such a big thing happened, there was no movement at all in the Northern Prince's Mansion, and there was no investigation of who was secretly making trouble. His Majesty felt that if it weren't for the fact that they didn't care about this killing, they should know who the murderer was, and the latter might be the majority! After Nalan Zhi finished speaking, he continued, "Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with us, why do you bother ......"

Why meddle with it!

He didn't dare to finish the rest of the story.

Chu Yuli said for him: "Why is this palace so nosy, isn't it?" It's just that if she doesn't get rid of this hidden danger for her, this palace can't return to China with peace of mind. If Jun Jinglan is ruthless, then only this palace will do it for him. ”

Nalan sighed.

After Chu Yuli finished saying this, she slowly got up and strode towards Chu Qiqi's room.

When the subordinates guarding the door saw him coming, they hurriedly opened Chu Qiqi's door, bent down respectfully, and welcomed him in.

"Get out! I don't eat! I won't eat anyone who comes! Chu Qiqi yelled with his back to the door.

Chu Yuli stepped in slowly, her picturesque eyebrows and eyes were quickly placed on the body of the girl in the house, her eyes were full of concern, but her voice was completely cold: "Since you refuse to eat, then the imperial brother doesn't have to be polite to that person!" ”

"Brother Huang!" When Chu Qiqi heard this, he knew that it was him, stood up and turned his head, and his eyes were already crying like rabbits. She really couldn't understand why the imperial brother locked her up, since she returned to the Chu Palace, the imperial brother has been very good to him, no matter what she wants, the imperial brother will also help her achieve it, she made a mistake The imperial brother has not scolded her, but this time the imperial brother's attitude is simply terrible!

Seeing her stand up, Chu Yuli was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Eat, and then let the next person pack up your things for you, and leave for China within half a month, you are a princess, golden branches and jade leaves, you should take care of your reputation and honor even more, and you must not go out to meet that man privately!" ”

These words became more and more severe, and Nalan stopped aside, almost unable to bear to listen. After today, the princess is afraid that she will hate Her Highness to death!

Chu Qiqi's eyes were hot again, he took a step back, and said loudly: "I won't go back, I won't go back!" I have made an oath with him, and I just want to see him! ”

This is also the first time that Chu Qiqi has resolutely disobeyed Chu Yuli's meaning!

As soon as she said this, Chu Yuli's voice was also a lot colder, and she said word by word: "Qiqi, the imperial brother hopes that you understand that you have the responsibility of the royal family on your shoulders!" Your marriage is not only related to your personal problems, but also related to the ...... of the Chu State."

"Nope! I don't listen! Chu Qiqi covered her ears and stepped back, in the past few days, she only knew that she was very happy when she was with Brother Zifeng, and it wasn't until Brother Huang began to interfere with her and didn't let her go to see that person, she finally understood that this was not just about having fun together.

However, now she is suddenly asked to give up all this for the responsibility of the Chu royal family! She can't do it!

She kept retreating, bumped into the bench behind her, and almost fell, Chu Yuli stepped forward and wanted to hold her, but she avoided her, her voice was extremely sharp: "I don't want to be the princess of Chu State, I'm not a royal family!" I'm still that little girl in the mountains, I don't want any responsibility of Chu State, I don't want my father and my brother, I want Brother Zifeng! ”

At this time, Chu Qiqi almost couldn't find her mind at all, and even she didn't know what she said, especially the sentence that she didn't want her father or her brother, she was stunned after yelling.

Immediately, he raised his eyes to look at the injury in Chu Yuli's eyes, and the stunned look in Chu Changge's eyes who had just arrived at the door, staring at the big watery eyes, and began to regret it. The royal brother was so kind to her, how could she say such a thing!

The scene was silent for a moment, Chu Yuli looked at the tears on her face, and still forced herself to be ruthless and said coldly: "It doesn't matter if you want to be a princess, or if you don't want to do it." As long as you are alive for a day, you are the bloodline of my Chu royal family, and you must take on the responsibility of being a princess! ”

"You are selfish!" Chu Qiqi stood up, glared at him angrily, and roared loudly, "You are selfish! Why do you like Sister Huang, you dare to pursue it, obviously she has already married the prince of the Northern Underworld! But you still don't hesitate to offend Mobei and Beiming, and set up a lot of schemes, why didn't you even give me a chance when you came to me! Don't give me a chance! You're selfish, you're selfish! ”

Roaring like this, Chu Qiqi's whole person had almost collapsed!

Chu Yuli was stunned for a moment, listening to her accusation, but was speechless.

It was Chu Changge at the door who laughed: "Okay Qiqi, you eat first, and you will go out early tomorrow morning to see Shangguan Zifeng, there is the eldest brother to support you, see who dares to stop you!" But if you don't eat it, don't blame the eldest brother for not helping you! ”

As soon as he said this, Chu Yuli didn't move, but Nalan Zhi glanced at Chu Changge very disapprovingly, the eldest prince is ignorant, Prince De and Princess De will take the county lord to visit the Guangling Palace early tomorrow morning, and he asked the princess to go tomorrow, isn't it ...... I don't know if the princess can bear it if she can bear it after seeing something she shouldn't see!

At this moment, Chu Qiqi finally laughed, wiped the tears on his face, and glanced at Chu Yuli timidly, seeing that he didn't speak, he ran to the table and began to gobble up.

Seeing this, Chu Yuli sighed softly and turned around to go out. and gave Chu Changge a look, motioning for the other party to follow. Chu Changge smiled casually and followed him out of the door......

entered Chu Yuli's dormitory. The picturesque beautiful man slowly walked to the window, turned his back to Chu Changge and said, "Brother Emperor, you know what will happen tomorrow, why bother to let Qiqi see it?" ”

He really would rather let Qiqi hate him than let her go out and suffer this kind of injury. Shangguan Zifeng is very filial, no matter how unwilling he is in his heart, he will do things according to his parents' wishes. What Qiqi will see tomorrow, he doesn't have to think about it!

"If she doesn't let her see it, how can she die?" Chu Changge smiled extremely gracefully, and saw Chu Yuli's back stiffen. Then he spoke, "If you want to protect Qiqi's intentions, I can naturally see clearly!" It's just that if she doesn't see it clearly, she will never die for the rest of her life, and she will never be happy for the rest of her life! It's like, if I don't have a clear understanding that I can't pull her after all, and slide down the cliff with her, I will never understand that I have no ability to protect her! And you, if she hadn't stabbed a knife into your chest with her own hands, you would never have known that you couldn't have been able to! ”

Chu Changge said, first paused, and then said with a smile: "That's why you deliberately opened one eye and closed one eye, and let me steal the leaves." Because I don't want to admit defeat, I don't want to give her the leaves in person, and I don't want her to feel that she owes you a favor. But he couldn't bear to embarrass her anymore, so he borrowed my hand, am I right? ”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Yuli laughed. said slowly: "Yuli has long known that the eldest brother has a pair of eyes that can see through the world, but I didn't expect that I couldn't hide it from you after all!" ”

That knife didn't kill him, but it was really...... It completely sobered him up. It doesn't hurt in my body, but it hurts in my heart!

When Chu Changge heard this, he smiled again: "I can understand, Jun Jinglan may not understand, so he will thank you for your final fulfillment." You and I are like this, I saw it with my own eyes and experienced it myself, and then I decided to quit, why should I deprive Qiqi of the right to know the truth? Hiding from her, whether it is good or bad for her, who can know? Her own affairs, let her make her own decisions, let's just watch! ”

As soon as he said this, Chu Yuli finally sighed and nodded slightly.

But he suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Emperor, you are wrong, you quit, but Yuli did not quit." Although there is no longer a chance to join hands with her, Hongu will be there at any time when she needs it, and will do anything for her that Hongu can do, and protect her for the rest of her life. And this kind of guardianship does not need anyone's approval, only in my own way! ”

Chu Changge looked at him for a while, smiled in vain, didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.

When he went out, Chu Yuli suddenly realized that she hooked her lips and smiled. On this day, they seemed to get along with each other most calmly in years......
