Chapter 155: Self-blame

But Chunyin was very relieved to hand Xiao Ruoxi into Chu Xiuyan's hands, so she couldn't help but pull Lianxiang away.

After the two left, Chu Xiuyan entered the inner room, and before the person walked in, he heard the cry of "huh" from inside, and suddenly, the two sword eyebrows were wrinkled.

Walking in slowly, I saw the slender figure lying on the bed, trembling slightly.

Staring at the person on the bed for a while, Chu Xiuyan let out a long sigh, walked over slowly, and sat on the edge of the bed silently.

Looking at the person who was crying sadly in front of him at the moment, he stretched out his hand, wanting to comfort her, but he didn't know what he should say at this moment to comfort her.

The outstretched hand withdrew several times, stretched out several times, and finally suspended in midair.

"You ......"

He opened his mouth to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw the person in front of him suddenly sit up from the bed, and then threw himself directly into his arms, crying loudly.

Seeing this, Chu Xiuyan was a little helpless, his hand suspended in mid-air hesitated for a long time, and finally gently put it on Xiao Ruoxi's shoulder and patted it gently.

In his mouth, he said softly: "Cry! It's better to cry. ”

He didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only hold her quietly like this, and let her wipe his snot and tears all over him.

"Chu Xiuyan, why am I so useless, why, my father has an accident, but I can't do anything, I'm just a waste."

Xiao Ruoxi wailed and cried in Chu Xiuyan's arms.

She's really good and useless, she's always going to cause trouble to others.

"No, this matter has nothing to do with you, this matter is beyond your control."

Listening to the cry of the woman in his arms, Chu Xiuyan frowned heartbreakingly, perhaps wanting to alleviate the guilt in her heart, he comforted softly.

However, this matter is indeed not something she can control, this charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason has been confirmed, and the emperor will definitely not leave Prime Minister Xiao Cheng.

Moreover, even if there is no such crime, with Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's high and powerful position in the court, sooner or later, there will be other charges on him.

You must know that in the court, a place of right and wrong, if the status is low, it is not very popular, and it is usually impossible to say anything when discussing political affairs, but if the status is too high, it is easy to attract the jealousy and hatred of others.

Even if the status is high to a certain point, it is easy to arouse the emperor's jealousy.

And Chu Xiuran was originally the new emperor who ascended the throne, and his foundation was unstable, so he did not have a very firm grasp of the power of the entire court.

Chu Xiuran had some fears about Prime Minister Xiao Cheng from the beginning, Xiao Cheng was high and powerful, and his power in the court should not be underestimated, if Chu Xiuran could take it for his own use, it would certainly be the best.

But after these few things about Chu Xiuhan, Chu Xiuran obviously noticed that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was on Chu Xiuhan's side.

With Prime Minister Xiao's power and Chu Xiuhan's strength, Chu Xiuhan has always been Chu Xiuran's confidant, and Chu Xiuran has always wanted to kill him as soon as possible.

But because of the outbreak of war at the border, he had to save his life.

But it was precisely because of the outbreak of the border war that Chu Xiuran realized that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng had been deliberately defending Chu Xiuhan, which made him have to start to be vigilant in his heart.

If these two people are really combined, then in the future, they will definitely become his biggest threat, and with Chu Xiuran's careful eyes, he will never allow such a thing to happen.

In order to prevent future troubles, he has to preemptively kill all this in the cradle before it officially happens.

Therefore, even if there is no incident of Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's treason against the enemy, those so-called people with intentions will create some other things that are unfavorable to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and defeat him in one fell swoop.

Moreover, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's punishment for the crime of raiding his home this time also sounded a wake-up call to the ministers in the court who were still a little wavering in their thinking, so that they could see clearly how ruthless the current new emperor is.

Even a high-ranking and powerful minister like Prime Minister Xiao Cheng will one day fall to the fate of being beheaded by the raid of his family, so let alone these nameless people, if they dare to disobey Chu Xiuran's intentions, and directly come down with a holy decree, maybe it will be a big crime to punish the nine clans.

This court affairs are changing rapidly, but no matter how much they change, everything still has to be decided by the person sitting at the top.

If he is unhappy, who he wants to kill, it is just a matter of words.

Therefore, how could all this be controlled by her, a weak woman who can't intervene in the affairs of the court.

However, Xiao Ruoxi still buried his head in his arms as if he hadn't heard Chu Xiuyan's words, and kept sobbing:

"Auntie is right, I am a disaster star, it's all me, it's me who harmed the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, it's all me, if it weren't for me, there wouldn't be so many people killed, it's all my fault, it's all me, why didn't I die, why."

Extremely guilty and deeply remorseful, Xiao Ruoxi felt that she was a heinous sinner living in this world, she suddenly stretched out her hand and hit her body again and again, and her mouth kept muttering:

"Why? Why wasn't I the one who died? I'm damned, damn it's me who ......"

"Ruoxi, don't be like this, don't look like this."

Chu Xiuyan saw Xiao Ruoxi's crazy move, thinking that she still had old injuries on her body that had not healed, and was afraid that she would hurt her body again, so he immediately stretched out his hand, held her hand tightly, and controlled her to continue to fan herself.

"Why didn't I die the one who died, I deserve to die, I'm the one who deserves to die......"

"No, you're not, you're not wrong, it's not something you can control at all."

Chu Xiuyan looked at Xiao Ruoxi, his eyes were full of distress.

She should have been cared for in the palm of her hand, but why should she be a weak woman to bear these things that she shouldn't have to bear.

Maybe it was because he had been crying for too long, coupled with the fact that his body was already weak, and he had consumed too much physical strength at once, or maybe he really felt tired, Xiao Ruoxi suddenly fell weakly into Chu Xiuyan's arms, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he was still sobbing quietly.

Looking at Xiao Ruoxi, who suddenly quieted down and no longer cried like just now, Chu Xiuyan finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

However, when he looked down at Xiao Ruoxi's tired face at the moment, he couldn't help but feel distressed again.

He reached out and slowly wrapped her into his arms, holding her tightly little by little.

It was so tight that there was barely a gap between the two of them.

He stopped exerting his strength, just hugged her quietly, resting his resolute chin on her head, smelling her faint fragrance, and holding her quietly like that without saying a word.

It seems that as long as these two people are close enough, he can feel her sadness more accurately, and he can share more for her.
