Huo Du's eyes were burning, and Le Zhi faintly felt a little heat between his brows.

ask?

Actually, I've always wanted to ask.

only--

"Your Highness trusts me so much?"

Le Zhi slowly got up and looked at him. She finally knew what she was afraid of. It's not that Huo Du won't tell her, nor is he that he will lie to her, but that he will tell her everything.

She was afraid that he would let her know every detail of the plans, the loopholes and all the uncertainties.

If Huo Du didn't say it, she could follow her own plan, and even if they walked different paths in the end, she could still walk her own path firmly.

Even if it hurts the feelings between them, even if it hurts him.

Le Zhi told himself repeatedly.

It doesn't matter, as long as you are hard-hearted you can do it.

But if Huo Du had told her all, if she had known his shortcomings earlier, would she still be able to continue in such a dignified manner?

she does not know.

"What do you think?" Huo Du asked her back, with complicated emotions in his calm lacquer eyes.

long silence.

Le Zhi gradually lowered his eyes, daring not to look at him, nor to answer his questions.

"Le Zhi." She heard Huo Du's moody tone, deep and cold, "You don't know anything."

Not only do not know, but also do not trust him. He doesn't even believe his place in his heart.

Not even to ask a question.

Huo Du looked at her shrinking appearance, like a small snail shrinking into its shell. He glanced at her one last time, no longer hesitated, and turned forward.

He walked in such a hurry that he didn't even notice that when he turned around, the person in front of him stretched out his hand and tried to pull his sleeve... Maybe the corners of the crystal cotton were too silky, or maybe he walked too far Passing decisively, the sleeve quickly slid across his slender fingers without stopping.

Le Zhi's eyes were red and tears were shed. She retracted the hand hanging in the air, turned her eyes to look at the hurrying back, sad and aggrieved.

She clenched her little hands tightly, letting her fingernails sink into her palms.

Can't wait a little longer?

Still so bad temper.

At this time, Li Yao came in a hurry with a solemn expression: "Master, something happened."

Le Zhi's heart sank, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sir Shen went to the Third Prince's Mansion and wanted to take Miss Shen away, but Huo Xu refused to let her. She pushed and shoved for some reason, and in the chaos, Miss Shen was pushed to the ground...a lot of blood was shed."

"What!" Le Zhi swayed, thinking that Shen Qingyan was pregnant now, her tone trembled slightly: "How is she?"

"Sir Shen took her back. I don't know what happened."

Le Zhi frowned, and said, "You can ask someone to check it out later. If possible, I would like to go to the Shen residence."

Li Yao Shensheng should agree.

Yongning Palace.

"You bastard!" The queen was in a hurry, leaning on the soft chair and panting while covering her heart, looking helplessly at Huo Xu who was kneeling in front of her.

"How did I know she would fall..." Huo Xu said with an innocent face, "It's all to blame for that old Shen Huai, if it wasn't for him, how could things become like this!"

"You know that Shen Qingyan is pregnant, why are you provoking her?" The queen frowned, "If she has three strengths and two weaknesses, Shen Xiang's help will probably become your resistance!"

After a pause, she murmured again: "If I had known this, it would be better not to let you marry her that day."

It's better than grumbling now.

"I shouldn't have married her in the first place, and I don't like her." Huo Xu lowered his eyes, a little aggrieved, "I always only want branches."

"What branch!" The queen was so angry that her eyes turned red, she couldn't believe her son would be so stupid, "She's already from Huo Du, what are you dreaming about? She wants you to die now!"

The harsh words made Huo Xu frown.

"Impossible!" Huo Xu was very firm. "Empress mother, you don't know her. She is just for Huo Duxu and the snake."

The queen stared blankly at the man in front of her who looked like a demon, and didn't want to talk to him any more. Yesterday, Huo Changyun called her to the imperial study and showed her the edict that made Xu'er the crown prince.

It should have been very joyful, but she couldn't help trembling all over.

It went so well.

It went too smoothly.

Is the throne of the crown prince and the emperor really so easy to hold?

She didn't believe Huo Changyun.

"The queen mother is too unreasonable." Huo Xu smiled suddenly, and he brought up a triumphant smile, "My father and emperor have been complimenting me recently, and the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty are tacit, and the position of the prince must be the son's minister."

"What is Shen Huai, after I enter the East Palace, the old man will still send his daughter over?"

Huo Xu, who was originally worried about Shen Qingyan's affairs, suddenly thought about it. It is naturally good that her fetus is preserved. After all, it is his first child. If it is really gone, it will be fine. Just letting Zhizhi live for him, it should be like this.

At that time, if Shen Huai still doesn't know each other, then his position as prime minister is not a matter of his words?

"Okay, go back."

After Huo Xu left, Lin Wanning slowly got up and walked to the window, looking at the scattered white snow.

Yesterday, Huo Changyun's words were still in his ears. He smiled and said to her, "The position of the crown prince will be yours, don't worry."

But until now, instead of letting go of her heart, her heart has been in a state of serenity.

I hope she really thinks more about it.

Tomorrow, after the edict proclaims the world, her heart will be settled.

Shen Qingyan's child was still not saved.

Le Zhi handed over the invitation, but he had no hope, but Shen Xiang agreed. Huo Xu's people found out that she was the Prime Minister's mansion who entered through the side door after dark.

Led by Lu Ying to Shen Qingyan's boudoir, a distinct **** smell overflowed into her nostrils. Le Zhi walked slowly to the side of the slump and looked at the man with a pale face and dazed eyes.

Lifeless, like a ghost.

"The day the Qi army attacked Dali, my relatives left me in an instant." Le Zhi sat down on the soft slump and tucked the quilt on Shen Qingyan's behalf, "I was the same as you at that time. Think about how heartbroken your relatives will be if they see you like this."

"Think of your father."

The dead pupils trembled slightly, and then the eyes filled with tears and rolled down. Gradually, she cried louder and louder.

Le Zhi picked up the clean silk handkerchief, wiped Shen Qingyan's tears quietly, and then patted her back gently.

"I, I thought I didn't like that child, but...but when he really left me little by little, I was really in pain." Shen Qingyan burst into tears and sobbed: "Yes I'm not good, he must think I don't love him, so he left..."

"No, it's not! It's not your fault, don't blame others on yourself."

Hearing this, the tearful Shen Qingyan gradually stopped crying. I have to say that what Le Zhi said was very convincing. It was not her who caused her to lose her child, but Huo Xu.

"I hate him." Shen Qingyan clenched her fists tightly.

"Huo Xu, he is a **** that everyone hates." Le Zhi sneered and said concisely, "Have a good rest, you have to take good care of your body, and then watch his end with a smile."

"You mean?" Shen Qingyan murmured.

"Go to sleep." Le Zhi smiled and helped her lie down, "I heard that your embroidery is very good, but don't bury your talent. Don't worry, you will have a bright future."

future?

Will she still have it?

Before Le Zhi came, Shen Qingyan was in despair. But now, some hope is gradually rising in my heart. With these hopes, she closed her heavy eyelids...

When he closed the door, he saw Shen Xiang not far away.

Le Zhi stepped forward and gave a farewell ceremony. But Shen Huai suddenly joined hands and gave a big gift to Lezhi.

"Sir Shen, you are..."

"For the little girl, thank you princess."

Princess......

Le Zhi was taken aback for a long time, and he hadn't heard anyone call him that for a long time. She smiled lightly, nodded slightly, and then stepped forward to leave.

Can--

"As long as the wish of the little girl can be fulfilled, the old minister is willing to listen to the dispatch."

......

On the carriage back to the mansion, Le Zhi looked blank and suddenly lost his mind. Obviously everything went according to her expectations, but her heart seemed to be empty.

"Master, the elder brother will act according to your instructions."

Le Zhi turned his eyes, looked at Jing Xin, and said in a low voice, "Jing Xin, am I bad?"

"Master, what did you say!" Jing Xin frowned in disapproval and shook his head: "You are a very good person."

"But when I asked you to be by my side, it was selfish. I wanted An Xuan to owe me favor." Le Zhi laughed at himself.

She is not a good person, everything she does has a purpose. Whether it was Jing Xin or going to the Shen residence today, she had selfishness.

It is true that he wants to persuade Shen Qingyan, and it is true that he wants to use this matter to win over Shen Xiang.

Le Zhi knew that she was no longer the pure and kind princess of Li Kingdom from before.

She is not a bad person, but she is not simply a good person.

"Even if you are selfish, you are a good person." Jing Xin took her hand and said, "Those who are good to us are true."

Le Zhi didn't answer, just lowered his eyes.

Jing Xin felt that the master was good in everything, but he demanded too much of himself. Is this the innate sense of morality and responsibility as a princess?

Master...it's really tiring to live.

Back at the house, it was late at night.

Le Zhi asked Jing Xin to rest first, but instead of going back to the bedroom, he walked towards the backyard.

Rarely did the snow stop, and the bright moon and the stars all over the sky showed in the night sky.

She stared blankly at the moon, shining the cold light down. Just like her and Huo Du, how can two people who are cold all over stay warm?

After going through all kinds of things, learning about what happened to Huo Du in his childhood, Le Zhi was distressed but could not do anything, nor could he promise him anything.

Just like although she likes him, she will not let go of hatred because of this love.

Even if she liked it, she would still kill his father.

She is like a cold moon that does not warm up.

If possible, Le Zhi hoped that the bright warm sun would be standing beside Huo Du.

Year after year, warm him.

Let him come out of the pain of childhood and have no worries for the rest of his life.

rather than her.

Even basic frankness and trust are not dare, what a selfish coward.

Suddenly, the waist tightened, and the back was pressed against a warm chest. Under the familiar atmosphere, Le Zhi slowly lowered his eyes and used his long eyelashes to cover the dark red at the corners of his eyes.

Reason told her not to indulge, but her heart uncontrollably leaned towards him.

I want to hold it longer.

a little longer.
