"You, you killed?" Chu Jun glared at him in disbelief.

"Yes."

"Why?" Chu Junxi suddenly thought of Lin Jikuo's identity, he was the emperor's personal guard, obeying the emperor's orders, if the emperor hadn't ordered him to kill, he wouldn't have made a move, "Yes, the emperor ordered you to kill him?" ”

Tears were already overflowing in his frightened eyes, Chu Jun cherished tears in his eyes, wanted to ask, but was afraid of hearing an answer that would break his heart, and looked at Lin Jikuo with hazy and pitiful eyes, hoping that she would deny it, "It's not like this, right?" That's not true? ”

Lin Jikuo stared at her indifferently, watching tears like beads with broken threads, sliding across his cheeks, silent.

"Even so, do you still believe him?" Chu Shize grabbed Chu Junxi's shoulders and forced her to look at him.

The branches swayed, the yellowed leaves fell from the branches, and fell on Chu Junxi's shoulders, and the three of them stood on the cobblestone path in the courtyard, their clothes fluttering.

"No, it won't, you're lying to me, you're lying to me." Chu Junxi broke free of his imprisoned hands, retreated again and again, and distanced himself from the two, with two clear tears on his face, "You guys are lying to me." ”

"You're hiding your ears and stealing the bell."

"I'll show you." Lin Jikuodao.

Chu Jun looked at him in a daze.

Lin Jikuo said, "Don't you believe it? I'll take you there, see with my own ears and hear these words coming out of his mouth, and then choose not to believe it. ”

"No, I'm not going." Chu Jun retreated, "I'm not going." ”

"Are you afraid to hear these words come out of his mouth? Don't you believe he wouldn't do it? Now let's go and see who we are right and let you see the truth of the matter. ”

Like a lifeless rag doll, Chu Junxi was almost carried forward by Lin Jikuo, and along the way, the palace people he saw avoided one after another, and he came to the imperial study after a while.

The inner prisoner, who was guarding the outside, did not know what to do, and was not guarding the door at this time. Lin Jikuo threw Chu Jun at the door and walked in by himself.

Lin Jikuo is the emperor's personal guard, although he is silent, he will never lie, and he has a deep understanding of the emperor's loyalty, he said that he killed Su Ao. In an instant, Chu Junxi heard the sound of her heart shaking, but despite this, she still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that the emperor would change the annexation of Hou Yan for herself.

"I should trust him, he won't do it." Muttering in a low voice, Chu Junxi stood up with the door frame, wiped the tears from his face, and ordered himself to cheer up.

The sound of the two of them talking came from inside, it had nothing to do with him, and Chu Junxi couldn't understand it, and finally, Lin Jikuo asked Hou Yan.

"Hou Yan's matter, what is the emperor's plan?"

After pondering for a long time, it was Yuan Yongyan's voice, "Send troops." ”

"Has the emperor decided?"

"Send troops." Yuan Yongyan said again, "One hundred thousand." ”

"Yes."

Chu Jun outside the door was like mud, his body slowly softened, and he couldn't stand up anymore, he really wanted to send troops to Hou Yan.

The wind rose and fell, and the golden leaves flew in the air, and the ground was thickly covered.

The gazebo was ventilated everywhere, and the sharp cold wind blew on her body, as if it was blown into her bones through her clothes, Chu Junxi had no intuition at all, since Lin Jikuo brought her here, she had always maintained the posture of being thrown down, motionless like a stone.

"Did you hear it all?" Lin Jikuo looked at her condescendingly.

Everything is fake, being good to yourself is fake, accompanying yourself to Hou Yan is fake, and he has been living in his deception.

Su Ao was killed by him, and even when he didn't know him, he kept hiding himself. Bringing himself back to Hou Yan, one is for Su Ao, yes, in order to let himself see the fake Su Ao, in order to make himself believe in him more and be better used by him. Second, in order to fulfill his own wish, but also for his wish, he took this opportunity to propose to his father that the two countries be one, but his father did not agree, so he threatened him.

Why are you always so stupid? He has never loved himself and has always been taking advantage of himself.

Why bother, she is just a princess of a defeated country, why bother to speak sweetly to herself, as long as he says a word, he has the right not to obey.

If you do this, it will only make me hate you even more, and I want to kill you. Chu Junxi's hands were clenched into fists, his hands were bulging with green tendons, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"Believe it now?"

Chu Junxi slowly raised her head, her eyes were unprecedentedly resolute, and her gaze staring at Lin Jikuo was like a sword, flashing with blood-devouring light.

She whispered, "Why are you telling me this? You're his personal bodyguard, aren't you? ”

******

In the imperial study, Chu Shize regained his previous elegance and warmth, "With the support of Emperor Gutuo, I believe that Hou Yan will soon get through this crisis." ”

Yuan Yongyan said, "I promised Ning He that I would keep Hou Yan peaceful." ”

"The emperor has a deep affection for Ning He, and he is really envious of others. Ning He can get the favor of the emperor, which is her blessing. Chu Shize sighed, "If it weren't for the menacing opponent, Hou Yan would not have borrowed troops from Gutuo, with Gutuo's 100,000 male soldiers, Hou Yan will repel the enemy, all thanks to you." ”

Yuan Yongyan was unimpressed by his compliment.

Chu Shize sighed and thanked him again, then left the imperial study, turned around, and the smile on his face disappeared suddenly. Love is stronger than gold, how strong can your relationship be? I couldn't wait to know Chu Junxi's reaction after hearing these words.

Yuan Yongyan put down the paintbrush in her hand and looked up at the window, if that little thing knew what she had done for her, how would she thank herself?

******

Chu Junxi stared straight at Lin Jikuo and asked again, "Why are you telling me this, you are his personal guard, aren't you?" ”

"I'm just taking back what belongs to me."

"Something that belongs to you? Something is yours. ”

Lin Jikuo's gaze aside, and after a long time, Chu Jun listened to him say softly, "Imperial throne." ”

Another bolt from the blue, "The throne? ”

"I am the third prince of Gutuo, the son of Xue Guifei."

Chu Junxi had never heard of Xue Guifei, if what Lin Jikuo said was true, it would be another bloody storm in the harem. A prince has been reduced to the emperor's personal guard, and what has happened to him, Chu Junxi is no longer able to think about it.

What he knows is that Lin Jikuo brought himself back again and again, and prevented himself from leaving again and again, not for the emperor, but for himself, he used himself, and made himself feel guilty and grateful to him.

"So, is that the inner response that Chu Shize said is you? You've already planned everything? "Lin Jikuo is the general in charge of the Imperial Forest Army, if he wants to rebel, Yuan Yongyan will be an empty shell emperor, and it will be easy for Lin Jikuo to win the throne." What are the benefits of doing this for Chu Shize? ”

"I promised him to help him ascend to the throne."

"What about my father? Are you going to kill him? ”

"Your father, the emperor, has long been in name only." Lin Jikuo turned around.

It turned out that this was the reason why his father didn't see him and kept letting him leave, he couldn't do anything but couldn't tell the truth, Chu Jun regretted it.
