The cold wind blew away the plum fragrance in the plum forest, but this plum fragrance could not hide the smell of plum wine on her body.
"Well..." Le Zhi lowered her eyes in embarrassment, her face flushed even more, she whispered, "Only three cups, not greedy."
One hand was held by her, but Huo Du didn't bother to break free. He stretched out the other hand, put the palm of his hand on the back of her neck, and forced her slightly closer to him.
The coldness on her neck made Le Zhi shudder, she raised her eyes in panic, Huo Du's peach blossom eyes were close at hand, and she could see her terrified look in his lacquered eyes.
Seeing this, Huo Du had a smile on his face, but there was still no emotion in his eyes. He looked at the fox eyes in front of him and asked, "Between the third emperor and me, do you want to choose me?"
He asked directly, but Le Zhi's heart was settled. She nodded heavily and answered firmly, "Yes."
Huo Du stared at her eyes carefully, as if trying to discern how true her words were. After a long while, he withdrew his hand, leaned lazily against the back of the chair, and sneered, "Huo Xu promised you what conditions, what do you want you to do for him?"
Le Zhi took out the medicine bag in his sleeve and put it on the stone table, "He rewarded him with the position of the queen, and asked me to wait for the opportunity beside His Highness until I took His Highness's life."
Huo Du glanced at her, but he believed it. but... ...
"Not even in the back seat?"
For women, the most honorable status in the world should be the queen's position. Even the back position is not moved, so what else can catch her eye
Huo Du laughed, could it be that she wanted to talk nonsense about falling in love with him at first sight
"If I want to succeed, His Highness is the crown prince. As long as I succeed in the future, I will naturally be the queen, so why bother."
After a pause, Le Zhi held Huo Du's hands slightly harder, and then said, "What's more, besides the back seat, I have more things I want."
"Oh?" Huo Du raised his eyebrows and motioned her to continue.
Le Zhi said frankly, "Huo Xu's life."
Hearing this, Huo Du really laughed. He naturally knew that Huo Xu had been a hostage in the Li Kingdom for many years, but in the end, he cooperated with the Qi army and destroyed the Li Kingdom.
It is normal for Le Zhi to hate him.
Hate, he has seen too many.
But how many people can really hate to the end and are completely ruthless
The woman in front of her made an oath at this time, and her eyes were full of hatred. But with the passage of time and Huo Xu's childhood sweetheart relationship with her, wouldn't her hatred gradually fade away
Huo Du believed what she said at this time, but did not believe that she would always be like this.
Totally disbelieving.
His face turned cold, and he raised his hand to squeeze her chin, "With the face of the Crown Princess and the ten-year friendship with the emperor's younger brother, it's not difficult to kill him, right?"
If she really hates it, with her ability, it is not difficult to kill Huo Xu.
She didn't kill, but she still had feelings for him.
The fingers pinching her chin tightened, Le Zhi frowned in pain, but her eyes were still firm, "Your Highness said that it is not difficult to kill Huo Xu alone. But I want to kill not only him, but also His henchmen. Besides that, I want to save my sister."
Le Zhi only spoke half of it. She wanted to take revenge, and her ultimate goal was to kill the Daqi Emperor. After all, he was the culprit who ordered the destruction of the Li Kingdom. Huo Xu was just an accomplice at best.
But she can't say.
No matter how much Emperor Qi attached importance to Huo Xu and despised Huo Du, blood was thicker than water, he was Huo Du's biological father after all. She didn't know how Huo Du felt about his father.
Looking at Le Zhi's reluctant expression, Huo Du let go of his hand and looked away, and stopped asking questions.
Le Zhi hesitated in her heart, not knowing how much Huo Du could believe what she said, but also felt that what she said just now was a bit blunt, too emotionless...
How to remedy this
She hesitated, her fingertips lightly squeezed Huo Du's hand, and asked softly, "Does your Highness have someone you like?"
The marriage between Huo Du and her was given by Emperor Qi, and he didn't even show up for the canonization ceremony. He was dissatisfied when he thought about it, maybe he already had a sweetheart in his heart.
After listening to her question, Huo Du didn't answer.
Le Zhi continued: "If Your Highness has a sweetheart, when things come to pass in the future, His Highness will ascend to the throne, and you can find any excuse to depose me. The latter position is naturally reserved for the person in Your Highness's heart."
sweetheart
Huo Du suddenly felt a little funny, he didn't even have a heart, how could there be someone in his heart
But he didn't deny it, he just asked indifferently, "What if not?"
"If not..." Le Zhi bent her lips and raised her eyes slightly, "Does your Highness believe in fate?"
After asking, seeing that Huo Du did not answer, he continued: "I believe in what fate said. My Highness and I have been separated by thousands of miles and now we are husband and wife, isn't it because of fate?"
"Fate?" Huo Du sneered.
What the hell is this, he doesn't believe it.
"Yeah." Le Zhi smiled brightly, "Although I didn't fall in love with His Highness at first sight, but I have spent the past few days with His Highness, I don't think it will take long before I will be tempted by His Highness. Although His Highness has no interest in me now, he said After a long time of love, maybe His Highness will gradually like me!"
Le Zhi blinked, saying that at the end there was a bit of coquettishness.
Huo Du looked at her with burning eyes.
Throughout the ages, how many heroes have fallen under the peony flowers.
Sure enough, beauty is hard to guard!
If what she said tonight were all lies, that would mean that Huo Xu had chosen the right person.
sharp.
awesome.
Whether true or not, at least now, he doesn't want to kill her. Because he really wanted to see what she wanted to do.
Looking at the medicine bag on the stone table, Huo Du asked, "What medicine?"
Le Zhi withdrew his hands holding his palms and went to get the package of medicine.
Huo Du couldn't help frowning as his palm suddenly lost its soft warmth.
The tea on the stone table was already cold, and Lezhi took off the tea lid and poured all the white medicinal powder into it—
In just an instant, the medicinal powder was completely dissolved in the tea, and the brown color did not change at all.
She picked up the teacup and sniffed it under her nose, but there was no odor.
Huo Xu didn't lie to her, this medicine is really colorless and tasteless.
Le Zhi handed the tea to Huo Du and said, "Huo Xu said that this is a colorless and odorless poison. Just add it to His Highness's diet ten times, and His Highness will..."
There was no need to say the rest, she knew that Huo Du would definitely understand.
Then, she saw Huo Du take the teacup from her and glance at it, then drank it.
"Such a powerful poison, how can you know if it's true or not if you don't try it." Huo Du put the empty teacup back on the stone table, and then looked at Le Zhi, who was stunned, "Does the Crown Princess say yes or no?"
He actually tried poisoning himself!
Le Zhi's eyes trembled, and her cherry lips opened slightly. It can be seen that Huo Du is still leisurely and determined, so he calmed down for the time being, "It seems that Your Highness has an antidote."
Huo Du didn't respond to her, just lightly clasped the armrest of the wheelchair with his fingertips. It didn't take long for a sharp pain to come from his internal organs, and black blood began to flow from the corners of his lips.
Le Zhi's eyes widened in surprise, and his voice trembled: "Your Highness has tried it, then take the antidote quickly!"
Huo Du took out the snow handkerchief from his sleeve and slowly wiped the blood from his lips, enjoying the pain as if his internal organs were torn apart. He looked at Le Zhi, his eyes sullen: "I don't have an antidote."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and bowed his head, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
Le Zhi stood up in fright, and his eyes quickly climbed to fear, bewilderment, and deep puzzlement.
No, no antidote? !
How dare he drink poison at will...
Is he crazy
