Looking at Xue Zhen's expression, Li Jiao'er's hands trembled, not only did she forget what she was going to say later, but she almost threw the box on the ground.

But Xue Zhen's angry eyes were fleeting, and when she saw that she almost dropped the box, she called out a little nervously:

"Be careful."

The emotions of resentment and anger were once again well hidden by Xue Zhen, so that all Li Jiao'er could catch was the same disgust as always.

Li Jiao'er knew what he cared about, hung her head bitterly, and swallowed the fear and anger of that moment.

She already knew that Xue Zhen must care about this thing, and she thought that by this time, she would be able to negotiate with Xue Zhen about the conditions.

But he didn't want to even if he saw his own ability, he still had an attitude, disgusted with her identity, and couldn't even listen to the three words of Karakura Pavilion.

The self in his heart is as small as dust, where is it worthy to negotiate conditions?

Li Jiao'er laughed self-deprecatingly and muttered: "It turns out that the son of the world is not hard-hearted, and there are also things that he cares about. ”

Xue Zhen's face was stiff, as if there were thousands of troops fighting in his heart, and it took him a long time before he reluctantly nodded, not answering Li Jiaoer's words, but saying, "What you did is really stronger." ”

Li Jiao'er only felt that he was standing in the clouds, looking down at the Karakuri Pavilion behind her and her, and gave a comment.

She was extremely unhappy, the corners of her mouth turned downward, and she simply hugged the box and said, "Since the prince looks down on Karakuri Pavilion like this, why should I offer treasures?" It's just that I haven't been here. ”

With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Although her heart was beating suddenly, she didn't believe that Xue Zhen would let her go like this.

Ten days ago, Xue Zhen entered Beijing at the same time, it was Chen Guolai's envoy to congratulate the empress on her birthday, and on the third day after entering Beijing, they presented the emperor with a treasure called Palm Treasure.

It is said to be a wooden figure in a box, and when the box is opened and the mechanism is triggered, the little man can dance.

As soon as this thing came out, the courtiers knew that this was a show off and a ploy.

Jokhang's craftsman skills are world-famous, especially good at all kinds of strange firearms, only in today's world of great contention, there is a faint strength to dominate the world, but now Chen Guo took out a gadget to make Jokhang difficult, so if you think about it deeply, who knows if Chen Guo will have more powerful weapons?

Moreover, Chen Guo knew that the old emperor of the Jokhang hated the queen and did not like the crown prince, but they wanted to offer such a treasure when the empress was in her prime, making it clear that they wanted to provoke the empress, make the emperor hate the empress even more, and make the Jokhang unstable.

Xue Zhen is the prince's accompaniment, he was classified as the queen and the prince's party, even if the emperor admires him again, he has been more dissatisfied with him in recent years, and the mission is escorted by Xue Zhen, and then he will be made a fuss by someone with a heart, then Xue Zhen is in a dilemma.

So at this moment, the noble prince is much more anxious than her.

Therefore, Li Jiaoer seized this opportunity to talk to Xue Zhen about the conditions, even if she didn't talk about the righteousness of the family and the country, she didn't want to accompany the Xue family every step of the way when the Xue family was in danger.

"Li Jiao'er."

Sure enough, Xue Zhen eagerly stopped her behind her.

Li Jiao'er stopped, turned back to meet his disgusted and eager gaze, and the pear vortex on her face was about to flatten.

He's just that.

She said frankly: "The prince has such an attitude, and it is not interesting for me to offer treasures." It's not as good as this, the merchant is very profitable, and the prince of the world will exchange things for this box with me, how about it? ”

Xue Zhen had something to ask for, so he had to ask patiently: "What do you want?" ”

Li Jiao'er looked directly into his gaze and calmly said seven words:

"I want to be reconciled with the world."

Where did Xue Zhen expect such a request, he was stunned at first, and then became angry: "Nonsense, how can the affairs of the family and the country be mixed up with the private affairs of marriage?" How can it be child's play? ”

After Li Jiao'er said the request, most of the big stones in her heart had been unloaded, her temperament was a little smaller, and her tone returned to calm:

"Since the prince has another heart, why can't the little girl let the virtuous? Do you have to be a grudge? I don't want to be a wicked person, and I don't want other people's children to call me mother. As long as the prince agrees and leaves, I will naturally offer this thing. Think about it. ”

She said that, after bending her knees slightly, she hugged the box, turned around and left.

She won't quarrel with people, and she still can't raise much temper in the face of people who have been cowardly for three years, so she can only hurry up and leave, not giving him a chance to fool or even hurt herself.

Xue Zhen looked at her back, his face couldn't hold back anymore, he wanted to say a thousand words in his heart, and wanted to chase after her to stop her, but his feet were as if he was nailed to the spot, and in the end he only drank two words: "Stop!" ”

Li Jiao'er really stood still, looked back at Xue Zhen, and asked, "The prince made a decision so quickly?" ”

Her heart was beating hard, she hugged the box tightly, and her gaze at Xue Zhen was more fearful.

What if he is rough?

However, Xue Zhen didn't move, and even his tone was about to soften a little, and he only said: "Li Jiao'er, you and I can still discuss family affairs in the long run, but the affairs of the two countries are not child's play, although you are a woman, you should also know that the matter is big." ”

Li Jiaoer didn't reply, just looked at him, didn't say a word, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Xue Zhen couldn't understand her smile, and when he was stunned, his appetite suddenly spasmed and throbbed.

He frowned slightly, his hanging hand clenched into a fist under the cover of the table, refraining from letting her notice anything unusual.

Li Jiao'er didn't look at him again, but looked down at the box, gently rubbed the carved phoenix on it, and sighed lightly: "After three years of marriage, today is the day I have been alone with the prince for the longest time, and it is also the day when the prince and I talk the most." ”

No matter how much she comforted herself, her tone still carried a strong sense of grievance.

Xue Zhen did not speak.

"It seems that there is always a first time in everything, so I am waiting for the day when the son of the world will come to me for this box." Li Jiao'er used up her eighteen years of courage and anger, said what she thought was cruel, thought about it, and added, "Also, don't let Mrs. Chen cry in front of my courtyard in the future, whether she is a wife or a concubine in the future, she will be the biological mother of the eldest son of the world, if this continues, how can she be a person in this mansion in the future?" ”

With that, she bowed respectfully to Xue Zhen and left the study.

Xue Zhen, who endured the pain and sweat oozing from his forehead, looked at Li Jiaoer's weak back, and somehow, the little girl in plain clothes suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a piece of candy, and said to him:

"I'll give you candy, don't cry."

She had a pair of pear vortices on her face, with the best smile he'd ever seen.

The little girl grew up quickly in his mind, overlapping with the current Li Jiaoer.

The moment the unchanged pear vortex coincided, Xue Zhen only felt that there was a huge whirlpool in front of him, and he wanted to pull him in, and the center of his mouth was covered with the bloody sweetness of the dragon's whisker candy, and he was dizzy, nauseous, and his stomach hurt even more.

He couldn't hold back any longer, bent down and began to retch, and because he hadn't eaten, he couldn't vomit anything, retching to the end, and he couldn't wait to vomit all his internal organs.

But he knew that Li Jiaoer was at the door, he didn't want her to hear it, and he didn't want her to see his weak appearance, so he only suppressed his voice and endured, and all he thought about in his mind was the "deal" proposed by Li Jiaoer.

and ...... Is it?
