Chapter 202: False Promise
Such a charming and tactful Xiao Xiwei, how could Chu Yanzhi have ever seen it. Like an epiphany blooming in the dark night, it is incomparably beautiful, and people can't help but want to kiss Fangze.
So, he smiled, and there was a bit of perfection in his smile.
He knew that as long as he Chu Yanzhi wanted it, he would definitely be able to get it, even Xiao Xiwei.
What about her refusal in the first place? Now, don't you want to laugh tactfully in front of him?
Thinking of this, Chu Yanzhi's heart couldn't help but float a little happy.
"Looking at His Royal Highness's appearance, I don't think I believe the words of the concubine."
Looking at Chu Yanzhi's expression, Xiao Xiwei couldn't see his thoughts, although there was a smile on his face, there were bursts of disgust in his heart.
"If you don't say it, how do you know that this palace won't believe it." Chu Yanzhi suddenly reached out and took Xiao Xiwei into his arms, and the corners of his thin lips were almost attached to Xiao Xi's slightly fair face.
In an instant, countless complex emotions of disgust and anger quickly swept through Xiao Xiwei's clear phoenix eyes, but in the blink of an eye, they dissipated cleanly.
A charming smile crept up the corners of his lips, "But do you want Your Highness to say this after listening to the concubine's words?" ”
Although the beautiful woman in front of him was charming and coquettish, the strange light flowing in her eyes made him gradually cool down. Thinking of the emperor's expression on the Zichen Hall just now, Chu Yanzhi finally let go of the hand holding Xiao Xiwei and took a step back.
"The concubine told the emperor that compared to Tianye, the concubine is more suitable to contain His Royal Highness the Prince." Xiao Xi looked up at Chu Yanzhi slightly, and the sparkle in his clear phoenix eyes flowed, but the words he said made Chu Yanzhi's heart suddenly cold. Then, before she finished her words, "The concubine also told the emperor that the future owner of this Dayue Jiangshan should be Tianye." ”
"You ......" After listening to Xiao Xiwei's words, Chu Yanzhi was almost furious, but when he saw Xiao Xiwei's charming and charming appearance, even though his chest was full of anger, he still endured it and did not have a seizure.
"Does Your Highness still believe in concubines?" Looking at Chu Yanzhi's expression, Xiao Xi lowered his eyes and smiled.
This kind of Xiao Xiwei was too charming, and for a moment, Chu Yanzhi only felt as if he was sucked into her heart, and the anger in his chest dissipated strangely.
If a person as smart as her really had such a thought, how could she say it in front of him?
Thinking of this, Chu Yan's heart couldn't help but relax, and a little smile appeared on his face, "Wei'er, what did you make this palace believe?" Believe what you said to your father in the Chongde Palace? Or do you believe that your words actually have another meaning? ”
The corners of Xiao Xi's lips pursed slightly, and then, she took a step closer to Chu Yanzhi, her slender snow-white fingers slowly stroked Chu Yanzhi's chest, only to see her lips slightly opened, and a tactful and low voice slowly overflowed from between her lips, "If the concubine said that the concubine is actually doing this for the good of His Royal Highness the Prince, does His Royal Highness believe it or not?" As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xi's phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he looked up at Chu Yanzhi, and the smile on the corner of his lips suddenly looked like an epiphany blooming in the dark night.
At that moment, it seemed that the beauty of the whole world bloomed in front of his eyes, and he could even smell the seductive scent of flowers on the tip of his nose.
His chest couldn't help but beat violently.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
Looking at Chu Yanzhi's obsessive and shocked appearance, Xiao Xi smiled slightly, then took a step back, and slowly took back the hand on Chu Yanzhi's chest, "Concubine guess, Your Highness believes in concubines." ”
When the slender hand left his chest, he felt a little lost inexplicably.
Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei with low eyes, smiled indifferently, and said, "Oh, how can you see it?" ”
"Since His Royal Highness has already promised to help the concubine send Tianye out of the palace, how can he believe that the concubine will think that this Dayue Jiangshan will fall into the hands of Tianye?" Xiao Xi smiled slightly.
Chu Yanzhi looked at it.
Indeed, Xiao Xiwei wants to get Chu Tianye out of the palace, the only way is to cheat death, since he is a person who is already 'dead', how can he fight with him for this country? Therefore, she is also using this method to force him to help her.
"Tianye is really blessed to have a mother like you who is planning for him everywhere." Chu Yanzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth and said lightly.
It's just that the truth is really what she says? She really just wanted him to help him get Chu Tianye out of the palace? Although she understated the conversation between Chongde Hall and the emperor, just the two points she said on her lips, he could also think of the tension in Chongde Hall at that time. Just for the sake of a Chu Tianye, she dared to risk her life and dare to confront the emperor? Really, just to let Chu Tianye out of the palace? Or did she have other plans?
If he were replaced by a woman next to him, he wouldn't think much about it, but the woman standing in front of him was Xiao Xiwei!
Chu Yanzhi's thoughts, how could Xiao Xiwei not guess.
The man in front of him, no matter how much he likes her, as long as it is in his interests, he will never be able to fully trust her.
That's the biggest difference between him and Xizhi.
Reliving a life, in fact, she has seen through a lot of things. Whether it is Chu Yanzhi or regret it, they have to fight even if they are in this position, so what Chu Yanzhi did to her in the previous life was just to increase the bargaining chips in her hands in order to compete for the throne for herself, but she couldn't see through it herself, wishful thinking that those scenes were so-called love? Later, she ended up like that, except for Chu Yanzhi's ruthlessness, she could only blame her for not knowing people clearly. So, even if she hated him, she didn't blame him.
It's just that today, putting aside those factors in the past, the love in his mouth is still full of suspicion.
She couldn't help but wonder, does this man know what love is?
Or, did he love someone else besides himself?
"Motherhood is strong, Your Highness is not a mother, naturally you will not understand how far a mother can go for her children." Xiao Xi looked at Chu Yanzhi slightly, and his originally charming eyes were filled with a hint of forbearance at this moment.
Motherhood is strong.
At this moment, Chu Yanzhi's heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, and he suddenly thought of his mother.
Even at the moment when she was dying, she tried hard to keep him by her side......
"Maybe you won't believe these words, Your Highness, as a mother, I actually don't want Tianye to be involved in this whirlpool of succession, I have already gambled with my own eyes and lost my life for this, and I don't want my son to repeat the mistakes of the past. If he could, I just wanted him to grow up peacefully somewhere, never knowing how dark and bloody this road to succession would be, even if he could only be an ordinary person forever. ”
Maybe Xiao Xiwei's eyes were too sincere and sad when she said this, and at that moment, Chu Yanzhi almost believed her words.
"Xiwei, is there a smarter woman in this world than you?" Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei, he raised his hand and stroked Xiao Xiwei's flawless white jade cheek, and his voice sounded in a low voice, "If this palace is really as you wish, and you have no worries, how will you deal with this palace?" After all, you love Chu Xizhi so wholeheartedly, do you know that he died in the hands of this palace? How do you want to avenge him? Well? ”
The rough touch from the fingers rubbing her cheeks on her face made Xiao Xiwei shudder slightly, she lowered her eyes, and her long and thick eyelashes covered the disgust in her eyes, "Even if Tianye is out of the palace, he is still under your control, Your Highness, so, in order to let him live well, does Your Highness think that the concubine will do something that angers His Highness?" As for the ...... of pity" Speaking of this, Xiao Xi smiled slightly, raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yanzhi, "Does Your Highness think that I will compensate myself for the sake of a dead man and all the loyal and brave mansions?" ”
Chu Yanzhi rubbed the hand on Xiao Xiwei's cheek, and his dark eyes stared at Xiao Xiwei's eyes motionlessly, and his burning gaze seemed to penetrate her entirely.
He had to admit that her words were very convincing.
Even if Chu Tianye left the palace and went to Wucheng, as long as he lived, he was still pinched in the palm of his hand, and even his life could become his best weakness to grasp Xiao Xiwei.
As for Chu Xizhi......
"Xiwei, you say, should this palace believe you?" Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile again.
"The deceased is gone, although the concubine is resentful, but the concubine is just an ordinary woman after all." Xiao Xi lowered her eyes slightly and smiled faintly, and then, she raised her hand and slowly held Chu Yanzhi's hand caressing her cheek, her eyes were tactful, and a charming smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "Compared to these, the concubine wants to know if the promise made by His Highness that day still counts?" ”
At the corner of his lips, a smile slowly crept up.
I see.
He knew that no woman in the world would refuse his offer.
Even Xiao Xiwei can't.
Chu Yanzhi slowly lowered his head, his cold lips were ambiguously close to Xiao Xiwei's ears, and the warm breath hit her ears, "Of course it counts." The place next to Hongu will always be left to you, so you will be satisfied. ”
Xiao Xi smiled slightly, suddenly let go of the hand holding Chu Yanzhi, and took a few steps back, "I hope Your Highness can keep your promise to the concubine today." As soon as he leaves the palace every day, the emperor will presumably secretly support His Royal Highness the King of Qin, if His Royal Highness can use it, the concubine will volunteer to do her part for His Royal Highness. With that, she lowered her eyes towards Chu Yanzhi's Yingying body, then turned around and left.
"Xiwei ......" Chu Yanzhi was filled with ripples by Xiao Xiwei's smile before leaving, and couldn't help but call out.
Xiao Xi stopped slightly and turned back suddenly.
The faint light of the sky hit her body, and the purple jade plum hairpin on her head swayed lightly, making that face shocked.
"Your Highness still has something to do?" The smile on the corner of Xiao Xi's lips swayed slightly.
"That day...... You tell Hongu that you once believed in a man with all your heart, but he set a fire...... Hongu wants to know, who is that person? Chu Yanzhi heard his voice trembling slightly, "As far as I know, the Zhongyong Houfu has not lost a fire, and you have never been burned by fire......"
The smile on the corner of Xiao Xi's lips seemed to be frozen, and it condensed at once, and even the original smiling eyes were gradually replaced by sadness and resentment, and after a long time, her voice slowly sounded, "Your Highness won't want to know who that person is......" After speaking, she turned around and left.
The wide corners of the robe drew a sharp arc in the air, and Chu Yanzhi suddenly felt that something was stabbed somewhere in his heart.
