Xia Rin and Xia Xun glanced at Xia Mi worriedly, but saw that she looked thoughtful.

A pair of clear peach blossom eyes had no other emotions at all, only full of calm and clear. Meeting her gaze, Xia Rin and Xia Xun glanced at each other, and a silent sigh fell leisurely in the courtyard.

As soon as Xia Xun wanted to say something, Xia Mi stopped him first: "Dad, brother, I have something I want to say to himself." ”

Xia Mi's demeanor was extremely resolute, Xia Rin and Xia Xun were shocked, and after thinking for a moment, they nodded and agreed.

With the approval of the two, Xia Mi raised his feet and walked out directly. The little girl respectfully followed her slowly, and followed all the way to the apricot orchard, and then stopped.

"General, the Overseer is inside, and the slave will go down first."

Nodding his head to signal him to leave on his own, Xia Mi pushed open the door and walked in directly.

The apricot orchard is full of apricot trees, and every spring it is full of flowers, and it is beautiful from afar. In her previous life, she had described the beautiful scenery of the apricot orchard of the City Lord's Mansion to Chu Li several times, and when she was in love, Chu Li also said that she would take her back to see it again in the future.

Unfortunately, time has passed, and everything has ceased to exist. Chu Li came, and their mood changed.

Not only are people in this situation, but the environment has also changed. By the end of autumn, the apricot trees had already turned bare.

The sunset-like apricot blossoms have disappeared, and the yellow and clear apricot fruits have already been picked. The bare branches of the trees are entangled, and at a glance, they look like ghosts in different poses.

Xia Mi's steps paused slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before he raised his feet again and walked inside.

The brown earth has a thick layer of fallen leaves, which makes a crisp creak when stepped on.

Xia Mi wanted to go inside, but heard a low voice coming from behind the apricot tree on the side.

The hairs on the back stood up, and a layer of coolness spread from the root of the neck all the way down the tail vertebrae.

The moment his fingers touched the hilt of the sword, a familiar voice came again, "Seeking." ”

The killing intent in his heart did not decrease but increased, Xia Mi hummed quietly and did not turn around. By the time Chu Li came out from behind her, Xia Mi had already collected the emotions in her heart.

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

Gentle and courteous, more respectful than close, even the strictest of courtesy officials can not find the slightest fault.

Chu Li's face was a little haggard, and the smile on her face narrowed slightly when she saw her like this. Reaching out to pull Xia Mi up, he pulled out a smile again.

"No need to be polite."

Raising his head slightly, Xia Mi happened to meet Chu Li's gaze. The slightly sharp phoenix eyes implied a touch of heaviness and heartache at the moment, Xia Mi was cold in his heart, but his eyes drooped slightly, and he took half a step back without a trace.

Chu Li heard the slight sound of the leaves breaking on the ground, but there was a heavy color in the phoenix's eyes.

Raising his feet forward, he seemed to sigh and said with emotion: "You told me about this apricot forest before, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to come. It's hard to come at this moment, but I didn't pick the right time. ”

Although it seems that he is just reminiscing about the past, Chu Li's words are obviously like there are words in his words.

Xia Mi only thought that he didn't understand, and went on: "Your Highness is also on a mission now. ”

Chu Li chuckled a little meaninglessly, and the fatigue that he had been holding on to rose like a raging flood. Reaching out and rubbing his forehead, for the first time in his tone, there was a hint of weakness.

"I didn't know in advance of the queen mother's decision."

The corners of Xia Mi's mouth moved slightly, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard Chu Li continue: "The day you left, I originally wanted to send you." But the concubine suddenly gave an order, and I happened to meet her when I was out of the city......"

Xia Mi keenly caught that there was a hint of sharpness in Chu Li's always warm and jade-like voice. Even if he didn't see the look on his face, after getting along in the previous life, Xia Mi knew in his heart that Chu Li's appearance at the moment should also be a look of hidden anger.

Before...... In the past, whenever he encountered a similar difficult situation, she would be the first to comfort him and do her best to help him accomplish what he wanted to do.

Thinking about it now, it's a little funny.

This man was clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing, but she was blinded by love, only that this man was really a harmless and weak sheep.

Come to think of it, if you can survive in the palace that eats people and don't spit out bones, and grow to such a big size intact, where can there be truly good people?

When Chu Li tilted his head, he happened to catch a glimpse of the soft smile next to the corner of Xia Mi's mouth.

He and Xia Mi have known each other for many years, and they know better than she knows the coldness of her personality than she does. treats everyone else, Xia Mi is cold and cold, only in the face of him, only for him, Xia Mi will give him and the concubines a gentle look.

He has always been clear in his heart, but he has always unconsciously ignored it. Seeing the smile on the corner of Xia Mi's mouth at this moment, the softness in his heart was hooked.

One didn't hold back, Chu Li directly stretched out his hand and hugged Xia Mi into his arms. Even through a layer of heavy armor, Chu Li still felt the softness of her body.

At the same time, her resistance can be felt.

The first time he was rejected by Xia Mi, Chu Li's heart was extremely painful, but he faintly felt a kind of indignation.

It's all those people in the palace! Xia Mi is obviously his, they should have been a match made in heaven, but because of the game of power, the relationship between the two of them became a victim.

What does it mean to be a queen? It's obviously the emperor's intention!

Without his approval, how could the queen assert her own ideas?

The resentment in his heart continued to evaporate like layers of steam, Chu Li's eyes seemed to have magma rolling through, and there was a faint sign of collapse on his face buried in Xia Mi's neck. Xia Mi felt those slight moist and hot, the corners of her mouth pressed down, but the smile in her eyes involuntarily revealed slightly.

After calculating for so long, but in the end I didn't get anything, I feel very uncomfortable, right? It must be uncomfortable, right?!

Xia Mi knew that something was wrong with her state, her current state was blinded by hatred, but in the face of Chu Li, who killed her father and brother and herself in the previous life, she couldn't restrain her inner emotions.

Her fingertips were accumulating, a hint of dark red swelled under her eyes, and her wrists were forced, almost slowly lifting upwards.

Just when she wanted to attack Chu Li, a clear voice sounded.

"Sister!"

The killing intent in his heart was washed away like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and as soon as Xia Mi looked up, he saw Xia Xun's nervous face, his smile was half relaxed and half extended, and it became a different picture in Xia Xun's eyes-

The eye circles are red and pitiful, and it is clear that he has been wronged!
