Chapter 197 turned out to be all about utilization.
Yes, I deliberately went to the Thousand Bird Palace with the Elixir in front of everyone, and my purpose was only to confirm my guess. Yes, I've been suspicious of Xiao Jincheng, and he arranged all of this.
"Xiao You actually wanted to push his child onto the dragon chair, this is a rebellion, shouldn't he be killed?" Xiao Jincheng's mood suddenly fluctuated, and his voice rose a lot.
"You should be killed, but you shouldn't take advantage of her feelings for you, trust in you, it's more painful than killing her with your own hands."
"So on that day I had already decided not to use her anymore, and I was going to let her go."
"Then you found Yin Shijing, a woman who is as brilliant as her, to complete her unfinished business in her place?"
Until this moment, I couldn't hold back any longer, covering my trembling lips and suppressing my crying to keep my voice from coming out.
It turned out that the stupidest one was actually me, I was delusional that feelings and hatred could coexist, and I naively thought that his feelings for me were pure and clean.
It turns out that the relationship between us is still not as important as the imperial power, and it turns out that our relationship is so humble and vulnerable.
Everything he did for me was purposeful......
"As long as the Yin family helps me remove all obstacles, I will tell her the truth, and she will eventually be my only queen and the only woman."
"Do you think she would forgive you if she knew the truth?"
"Then I...... and did not tell her the truth. There was a momentary pause in the voice, and then the voice spoke.
"Xiao Jincheng, you don't deserve to love her at all, let alone get her love." An angry roar resounded through the hall, and several of the guards standing with me shivered, and I sneered silently.
Love?
His love for me is far less important than that of the imperial power.
Love?
Use me with promises and make me guilty by telling me not to touch anyone.
Love?
Regardless of whether I could bear it, he resolutely poisoned me.
Love?
Perhaps, he loves himself more.
I only heard a loud "creak" sound, and the slightly hidden Zhumen was pulled open by force, and a cold wind blew on me, and I didn't see that the wrist of the person who came had been held, and I was pulled away, and I had to let go of the pace to catch up with his pace.
The verandah is brightly lit, scorching and shadowy, and the sound of footsteps is sounding. I don't know how long it took him to slow down and lead me step by step through the silent and sad verandah. His steps were heavy, and he held my hand and never let go.
I kept staring at his back and smiled bitterly, "Aren't you afraid of hitting him like that?" ”
I noticed that the address between them was not a courtesy.
He smiled bitterly, "If I were afraid, I wouldn't have brought you here." ”
Follow him, vainly stepping on that step, very rhythmic.
"If I have this throne, I have to exchange it for you, and I'd rather not."
When you didn't have the throne, you weren't willing to trade me for it. Now that you have the throne, are you willing to trade me for it?
I can't believe what happened tonight, I guessed it, didn't I? Why do you have to be so heartbroken, Xiao Jincheng, if you want to use me to pull the Xia family, you can say it to me clearly. I'll help you, but why would you use such a method? Have you forgotten that you said you would no longer use me, and that the promise between us was like a cloud of smoke? As long as the wind blows, it will drift away without a trace?
You are willing to give up the entire harem woman in order to take advantage of me, should I applaud you for such a sacrifice?
The day I woke up from poisoning, the tears you shed for me turned out not to feel sorry for me, not to be afraid of losing me, but to feel guilty. Your favor for me is just to push me to the cusp of the storm, to blind my heart with hatred, and you want to use me to deal with the forces of this harem. Is this how I am worth in your heart?
Since you've pulled me in, why did you kick me out halfway? Because reluctantly? Maybe it's really because I'm not ruthless enough to live up to your standards, so you're going to give up on me. Yin Shijing is indeed a very smart and ambitious woman, you are very good at picking people. And I'm like a monkey from beginning to end, being played by you.
Originally, I thought I knew you very well, but today, I realized that I was wrong, completely wrong, and my legs suddenly lost sensation, and as soon as I went weak, I squatted on the ground, and my whole body was cold.
Jeruzi's pace stopped. The hand holding me let go and looked down at me quietly.
I restrained my trembling voice and asked, "Am I ridiculous?"
He exhaled heavily, and also bent his knees and squatted, "Falling in love with an emperor like Qingshu, you are destined to be hurt." ”
"It was my mistake...... I choked my voice and forced myself back with tears welling up in my eyes. However, tears eventually fell into the palms of his hands.
"Cry out." He took me into his arms and patted me on the back to soothe me.
His hands couldn't stop pulling the placket on his chest, and he cried, wiping all the tears on his chest, "How can he trample on our love like this, how can he!" "I can't go back, I even went back to my own home for him......
There was a sudden desolation in my heart, but where should I go back? Where do I come from? Why do you feel like you have nothing left at this point......
His arms increased a little harder, comforting me with his warmth, and my tears poured out my hatred like a river bursting its banks.
"King Qi, what are you doing!" The light voice came from the elegance on our left, with a bit of sharpness.
I was startled with him and looked at him in unison.
"Isn't this the Holy Imperial Princess!" He uttered another joking remark, his gaze was unfathomable, and I broke free from Yeluqi's arms, wiping the tears from my face in a panic.
I saw a strange man in green clothes, looking at the two of us with an elegant smile, I don't know why, but in his eyes I felt a hidden coldness. This man...... Who is it?
Jeruzi smiled at him, but didn't explain.
"After all, the prince still has to take into account some of the etiquette of our people, you and the imperial concubine are so interested, and in front of the verandah in the middle of the night, it is inevitable that people will not have reverie." He leaned over to the two of us, the breeze blowing the hair of his shawl, and he looked dashing.
I looked at Jeruqi and I coincidentally, but no one spoke, for we knew that everything we said at this time was to cover up.
In the end, the man smiled lightly without saying a word, and did not ask for warnings and threats, and I couldn't guess what he would think. The slightly strange smile I had as I left made me very uneasy, who was this person? he
You even know who I am?!
But when I saw Yeluqi's contemplative face, I didn't ask, who it was and had nothing to do with me.
I took off my armor and handed it back to Yeluqi, leaving only a thin scarlet brocade coat on my body. It's a little chilly in the early spring. I said thank you hoarsely and left alone, my steps like a thousand pounds.
I began to sort out the twists and turns of my thoughts one by one. The thirteen minions of Zhaofeng Palace, Chunlan and Xiaoxue are the emperor's people, so why did Xia Guang Qiufeng actually tell me that they are Xia Yu's people. So now it can be determined that the two of them are also the emperor's people...... No, the four guards should all be the emperor's people.
The sudden breaking of the string of the Fengqipo kite will definitely not be accidental, it must be man-made. Just to lead me to discover the adultery between Xiao You and Mrs. Ya. So, the kite must have been hung on that tree beforehand, who could it be?
Thinking back to the scenes of that day.
"Imperial Princess, the wind is beautiful today, let's go kite flying."
This proposal was made by Zhi Tao, and it was she who found me in the Waste Garden, could it be her?
"Fengqi Slope, open and windy on all sides, is the best place to fly kites."
Going to Fengqipo was requested by Xinyue, could it be her?
Gradually turned into the main corridor of the West Palace, but saw a large number of guards escorting two people towards here, I looked at it strangely. As they got closer, the candles hanging on both sides flickered and shone on their faces. I could see their faces clearly, it was Mrs. Ya and Xiao You.
I was stunned, and then rushed forward to block their way, "Mrs. Ya? What's going on? "I saw that their hands and feet were clasped with iron locks, and the placket of their clothes was a little messy, which should have been torn after struggle.
She glanced at me, and a cold snort came out of her mouth, "You ask me what's the matter?" I drank the bowl of medicine, why didn't my words count, and still refused to let us go? ”
His body stiffened by her words, and he asked strangely, "What did you say?" ”
"Apart from you, who else would know that we met in the abandoned garden of Fengqipo." Xiao You's indifferent pupils were bloodshot, and the gaze staring at me made me frightened. There was a thunderclap in the air, and lightning flashed, and half of his face was green.
I hurriedly explained, "It's not me ......."
But the pale explanation is no longer weak. Mrs. Ya suddenly hit her body hard, and I was defenseless and tried to stabilize my body, but I still couldn't stabilize my body and fell heavily to the ground.
There was another thunderclap that resounded through the night. I watched them pass me by, staring at Mrs. Ya's back and I shouted, "It's really not me!" ”
Xiao turned around and looked back at me on the ground, his eyes flashing with complexity. opened his mouth to say something, but was pushed away by the Praetorian Guard, "Hurry up......"
He stared back at me frequently, and a glimmer of light faded and rose, full of doubt. It wasn't until they escorted the two of them away and there was no trace of them that I suddenly withdrew my gaze, it was the emperor...... He will kill both.
Not long after I returned to Zhaofeng Palace, it began to rain heavily.
Crescent Moon and Zhitao had been waiting outside for my return, looking at the unpretentious anxiety in their eyes, I was extremely complicated.
Both of them are probably sent by the emperor to my side. Why are there so many falsehoods, exploits, and conspiracies in this palace? Is it my fault why I got involved in this bloody struggle? I shouldn't have met him in the first place, I shouldn't have married into the Zhenbei Palace, and I shouldn't have been involved with him.
I swept past their anxious eyes and turned into the dormitory, "What's the matter with Mrs. Ya and Lord Xiao?" ”
Zhi Tao didn't know much either, and shook her head lightly, "I only heard that a group of guards suddenly broke into the ruined garden...... By the way, this is where you picked up the kite, Princess. They caught Mrs. Ya and Master Xiao doing ...... It's a matter of reluctance. ”
I chuckled sarcastically, but in a terrible tone, "How would the Praetorian know they were there?" ”
The crescent moon put a few lamps in the palm of the palace, illuminating the originally dim dormitory more brightly, "Who knows, maybe someone will tell you." ”
