When Li Xiuye sat firmly on the high platform and heard the news of Qu Xiaonan's death, he only felt his heart twitch a few times, and an indescribable emotion filled his chest, indescribable!

"How could she die? Don't you know who is who? Even she would have been killed by manslaughter? Li Xiuye's hands were clenched into fists, his nails sinking deep into his palms, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.

Many courtiers in the audience lowered their heads and did not say a word.

One of them dared to speak: "Your Majesty is angry, Concubine Qu, as a princess and a princess, since she is married, the dispute between the two countries will inevitably ......"

"Shut up!" Li Xiuye interrupted the other party's words, and looked at the other party with eyes as sharp as knives, "How are you staring at people?" ”

"Your Majesty, we haven't found Concubine Qu's body yet, we only know that the tribe where she lives has been burned clean by us, and now it's ...... Now... When he said this, the courtier was obviously a little lacking in confidence, fine beads of sweat were rising from the corners of his forehead, and his voice trembled.

"Bastard thing!" Li Xiuye slapped the table and stood up, and roared angrily: "What are you guys eating?" To let a living person disappear under your noses? “

“

Li Xiuye was irritable, he stepped down from the high platform, a group of courtiers retreated, the victory in this battle was a good thing, and the whole country should celebrate together, but he couldn't be happy.

Obviously, it was his personal will, personally marrying her into that dangerous place, and personally letting her into the wolf's mouth, but why is he anxious and irritable now!

Li Xiuye kept walking in place, his heart was in turmoil, and he kept thinking of the bitter smile she had last looked at him.

Li Xiuye's eyebrows were furrowed, and there was a deep sadness in his eyes.

"Xiu Ye." Suddenly, a soft, watery cry came.

Li Xiuye looked up and saw Zhao Qingshuang standing by the door, looking at him with a smile, Zhao Qingshuang walked in, hugged Li Xiuye's arm, and asked softly: "Xiuye, are you thinking about Xiao Nan?" “

Li Xiuye shook his head: "I didn't miss her." ”

Zhao Qingshuang smiled like a flower, "Xiu Ye, the matter has passed, this battle has been won, but our henchmen are in great trouble, why are you still depressed, Xiao Nan can be regarded as making up for her merits, she is in the spirit of the sky, and she can be regarded as blind, you should be happy!" “

Li Xiuye pushed Zhao Qingshuang away, only to feel as if something was blooming in his heart, and he was a little out of breath, but he quickly pressed it down, "Don't worry about it, I'm just worried about something else." “

Zhao Qingshuang's face was a little surprised, but she immediately returned to normal, she deliberately approached him, wanting him to care more about herself.

Zhao Qingshuang looked at Li Xiuye with a smile: "Xiuye, although we won this battle, Xiao Nan is no longer there, I think, should we make up for her." “

"Can you please not mention her all the time?" Li Xiuye glared at her angrily, and his tone was extremely cold.

Li Xiuye rarely lost his temper with her, Zhao Qingshuang was frightened by him like this, his face was a little pale, but then he strengthened his spirits, bit his lip lightly, and his eyes moistened: "I'm sorry Xiuye, I didn't know you didn't want to mention Xiao Nan's ......"

Zhao Qingshuang bowed her head and obediently admitted her mistakes, not daring to be disobedient.

Li Xiuye also felt that his attitude just now was a little wrong, he took a deep breath and softened his tone, "Shuang'er, it was me who was wrong just now, I shouldn't have talked to you like that, don't mind, okay?" ”

Zhao Qingshuang nodded vigorously, and a sweet smile appeared on his face.

"Shuang'er, I still have some things to deal with, can I accompany you later?" Li Xiuye coaxed Zhao Qingshuang softly, with a gentle smile on his face.

Zhao Qingshuang obediently agreed, and then withdrew, Li Xiuye's smile was fleeting, and his eyes were full of haze.

I don't know if it's an illusion, he seems to see Qu Xiaonan still standing in front of him, smiling brightly at himself.

But the next moment, the face disappeared without a trace, and in its place was a darkness, which weighed heavily on his heart like a boulder.

He felt suffocation, an indescribable feeling of suffocation spread from his heart, as if all the wrong things Qu Xiaonan did didn't matter at this time, even if she wasn't pregnant with his child, even if the person she loved wasn't him, even if she betrayed him.

Li Xiuye felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, the whole world became blurred, this world only had Qu Xiaonan's delicate face, he looked at Qu Xiaonan's smiling cheeks, and suddenly stretched out his hand to touch it.

It's a pity that before his hand touched Qu Xiaonan's face, Qu Xiaonan's face suddenly changed, and he kept retreating, always deliberately avoiding himself, Li Xiuye's pupils contracted violently, and he called her name in panic.

It turned out that in just a short time, he had a ridiculous dream, and when he woke up, he found that there was no one around him, only he was left to sit alone on the high platform he wanted most.

"Your Majesty, the tonic soup is ready." A father-in-law brought a bowl of tonic soup and put it on the table, Li Xiuye's thinking seemed to be frozen, he sat on the chair in a daze, looking at the tonic soup on the table, which Qu Xiaonan reminded him to take care of his body every day before.

His mood was actually much calmer, but his heart was still heavy.

After thinking about it, he still picked up the bowl of soup and drank it.

The father-in-law suddenly took out a secret fold from his sleeve: "Your Majesty, this secret fold was specially handed over to the slave by Concubine Qu and her relatives before, so that I can deliver it to Your Majesty in the future." ”

Li Xiuye took the secret fold suspiciously, and after opening it, he saw the content of the secret fold, his expression became a little weird, and he couldn't help muttering: "Xiao Nan, after all, I blame you by mistake." ”

Li Xiuye sat alone on the dragon chair, looking at the dense fold in his hand in a daze, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable emotions.

Finally, he closed the fold.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" The father-in-law watched Li Xiuye stand up and asked a little puzzled.

Li Xiuye didn't speak, and walked straight outside, his back lonely and sad.

"To atone for a man's sins, to keep a man's covenant." He muttered a word, not loud.

It was drizzling, dripping, and a drop of rain fell on Li Xiuye's body, and he didn't feel cold at all, because the pain in his heart was even worse.

Li Xiuye's cold thin lips were pursed, a pair of dark eyes were deep and bottomless, and he came to a place, but this place had become ruins and was barren.

"Xiao Nan, I was wrong."

When Li Xiuye saw this, everything from three years ago seemed to be fresh in his memory......
