Xue Zhen took a step closer and could feel Li Jiao'er's breathing, uneasy and flustered.

He grabbed the awl in one hand and gently broke her fingers with the other.

He didn't speak, his fingers warm and strong, but not rough, more like some kind of tenderness that could not be refused.

Feeling the power of his fingers, Li Jiao'er finally woke up completely, and saw clearly that the person who saved him in front of him was indeed Xue Zhen.

Her voice trembled slightly, but the first thing she said was:

"Clouds...... What about clouds? ”

Xue Zhen's hand paused.

Her voice was in his ears, too close, close enough to remind him of who she really was.

He took a half-step back and let go of the awl.

Li Jiao'er, who lost her strength, let go of her hand at the same time, the two phases were staggered, the awl fell to the ground, and the voice was very muffled.

Yun Tuan, who had been rescued by the man in brown, heard Li Jiao'er's words as soon as he woke up, and immediately pushed away others and cried and threw himself to Li Jiao'er's side, his legs staggered, and he kept saying: "Miss, Miss!" ”

Li Jiaoer hurriedly hugged her, and her tears couldn't hold back, and finally flowed.

She whispered to comfort Yun Tuan, until Yun Tuan's cry was a little lower, she looked at Xue Zhen and said, "Thank you, Shizi." ”

Xue Zhen looked at her, and his overriding softness disappeared without a trace.

As if he was remorseful for his soft-heartedness, he sneered coldly: "I said that the world's major affairs can't be related to you and my private affairs, can Madam understand now?" ”

Li Jiao'er's heart was still beating hard, and Xue Zhen's words made the gratitude in her heart dissipate a lot.

She looked sideways at him.

The tall Hou Shizi of Anyang, who is very tall, is now standing in the alley at dusk, with the light on his back, and he can't see clearly.

How long has he been with him? How long have you been standing here?

She retracted her gaze, gently patted Yuntuan's back, comforted the person who was still trembling in her arms, and asked Xue Zhen when she opened her mouth: "The prince has long suspected Chen Guoren's purpose, right?" ”

Xue Zhen didn't speak.

"Shizi has been with me for many days, hasn't he?" Her voice was soft, peaceful, not like angry.

"......" Xue Zhen was still silent.

"My departure from the Hou Mansion is also within the calculation of the prince, right?" The third question.

The voice is calmer and calmer each time, and the heart of the questioner is disappointed more and more every time.

And Xue Zhen never answered her question.

But Li Jiaoer has already got her own answer.

She didn't know if her mother and Chen Guo had a secret agreement, but Chen Guo's move was indeed for what her mother left behind.

Xue Zhen knew it early on.

He confronted Chen Guo on the border for three consecutive years, and he must have been able to find out many things.

That's why he came back, that's why he let himself leave the Hou Mansion.

After all, under the protection of the Hou Mansion, Chen Guoren couldn't make today's scene.

Wrong.

The mother should have nothing to do with Chen Guo, and the origin of Chen Guo's palm treasure is afraid that it will not be his mother.

Otherwise, according to Xue Zhen's calculations, if he knew that his mother and Chen Guo might have a private relationship, then according to his ruthlessness to himself, he would directly lock her up, take away the codex, and "kill relatives with righteousness".

Why bother?

Li Jiao'er smiled bitterly, but his ruthlessness made the big stone in her heart fall to the ground.

"It turns out that Shizi guessed a long time ago that I am very important to Chen Guoren." She sighed, "The prince could have told me earlier, even if he was wronged...... I have also read some books on the righteousness of the family and the country. ”

Why bother? twists and turns, and finally sees blood.

This sigh knocked on Xue Zhen's heart.

He looked at Li Jiao'er, who was hanging her head and comforting her, and suddenly felt that the self in her heart was unbearable.

Li Jiaoer was so tired that she didn't want to talk anymore.

There are many neighbors here, and I am afraid that both sides of the family know what is going on.

After today, I don't know if there are more people who start chewing her tongue.

Qi Da is not a coincidence, and it is so.

"The treasure in the palm of your hand has been prepared, and the prince will come to Renxin Hall to get it the day after tomorrow. My mother's codex is a thought she left for me, and I will not give it to anyone, and if anyone wants to take it, I would rather destroy it. The negative words were undeterred by the tired tone, "Shizi, let's get along, okay?" ”

When she finished speaking, she looked at him, her eyes stained with pleading.

Xue Zhen's expression darkened, and his emotions were fleeting.

He had a lot to ask her, and he wanted to tell her, Tang Ying's, Chen Guo's, and his father's.

But in the end, he only said one word:

"Okay."

There has been no actual marriage for three years, in an environment that Li Jiaoer is familiar with, and in the bloody atmosphere that Li Jiaoer is not familiar with, it is broken on the word "good".

Li Jiaoer was not happy, even her dimples were much shallower, let go of the clouds, and squatted in her clothes: "Thank you for saving your life today." The day after tomorrow, I am in Renxin Hall, waiting for the son of the world to leave the book. ”

With that, she and Yun Tuan supported each other, and in the afterglow of the sunset, there was only a glimmer left, and they walked through the alley and went home.

Xue Zhen stood in place, looking at her back, and wanted to say: I'll send you back to Renxintang.

But it was just a thought, Xue Zhen couldn't hold back any longer, leaned against the wall with his back, searched his intestines and just wanted to vomit.

There was a smell of blood in the air, and it was heavy, mixed with the unique woody smell of Li Jiaoer's body.

Just because he thought of Tang Ying and his father and brother again, these smells were more uncomfortable for him than death.

He had no appetite today, so he only ate half a snack and drank a stomach full of tea, so all he had was water and the smell of stale tea.

It was so disgusting that Xue Zhen wanted to go home now and threw away all those tea leaves.

That's enough.

Xue suppressed his voice, especially not wanting Li Jiao'er to hear it.

He wanted to say to Li Jiaoer's back: "I'll give you the book of harmony and separation now." ”

In this way, let yourself go, and let her go.

In the future, life and death will no longer be relevant.

On the contrary, he didn't want to, didn't want to, didn't want to.

Seeing this, a man in brown immediately came over to smooth his back, and said strangely: "Shizi? Do you want your subordinates to go to the doctor? ”

"No, you don't." Xue Zhen pushed him away.

At both ends of the alley, there were people who were stopped by the brown-clothed people, who were sticking out their heads and looking this way.

Only Li Jiaoer, the figure who left was very resolute and refused to look back.

"Go back to the camp, I'm going to interrogate that spy myself."

"Yes!"

*

Li Jiao'er, who was extremely tired, did hear a strange voice behind her, but she didn't want to care anymore.

Yun Tuan supported her, her legs were still weak, and her eyes were red, she glanced back and said to her, "Miss, Shizi seems to be sick." ”

Li Jiao'er only looked ahead and asked, "What do you have to do with me?" ”

If Xue Zhen, who had just fallen from the sky when he was in danger, overlapped again with the figure of the young man who gave her a box of candy, then every word he said later, every silence, made Li Jiaoer peel off the shadow hidden in his heart from his body little by little.

She was fed up with her own delusions and weakness, fed up with his indifference and calculation.

If you have no heart, I will leave.

My mother saved your grandfather, you saved me, Li Xue's second surname, two clear.

Li Jiao'er's steps were fluttering at first, but by the time she reached the alley, her steps had steady.

There is only a glimmer of light left in the sky, and the waning moon climbs into the air, as usual, and the cycle repeats.

The brown-clothed man at the mouth of the alley gave way to her.

The people who looked out also retreated, but because of the brown man and the blood on her body, they looked at Li Jiao'er with fear, and they lost their previous closeness.

Li Jiaoer didn't go to see them.

When tomorrow comes, she will not hesitate again.
