The hot spring pool in the villa has a unique design. The pool is very large, but it is separated by a semi-transparent silk curtain. It does feel a little hazy.
Le Zhi took off all his soaked clothes, stepped into the hot spring pool, and submerged half of his body in the water. After a long while, her mind gradually regained clarity.
She remembered what Huo Du asked her just now, and the tone was so bewitching, she almost couldn't help answering—
"miss."
Then, Huo Du led her here.
Because of that tight hug, Huo Du's clothes were also dyed wet. Thinking of his inconvenience in his legs and feet, Le Zhi wanted to help him undress, but when his fingertips touched his belt, he held it.
Huo Du used the hand on her shoulder to gently push her into the half pool on the inside...
Le Zhi heard the sound of undressing on the other side of the curtain, slow and clear. She recalled in her mind that Huo Du didn't seem to have the habit of letting people undress.
why
After a while, the water ripples slightly, but soon the pool water returns to calm. Across the silk curtain, neither of them spoke.
But the storm outside was pouring on the windows, making terrifying noises. The courage to kill not long ago was long gone, and when Le Zhi thought that the bodies were not far from the hot spring pool, her heart thumped wildly.
At this time, there seemed to be a dark shadow flashing by the window, and the candles in the house shook.
Is it, ghosts take their lives
The chill climbed all over the body, and even in the warm pool water, the bone-chilling cold could not be eliminated.
Le Zhi subconsciously walked towards the end of the silk curtain, but when he raised his hand to touch the silk curtain, he didn't dare to move it away... What if Huo Du didn't like her disturbing him
But the fear in her chest was getting worse, she hesitated to raise her hand and put it down, then raise her hand and put it down again...
The silk curtain was originally semi-transparent, and Huo Du leaned against the stone wall of the other half-pond, staring at her struggling figure from beginning to end.
Finally, he said, "Come here."
The hand that was just lowered was lifted instantly, and Le Zhi hurriedly opened the curtain, with a panic-stricken look on his pale cheeks. She walked to Huo Du's side as fast as she could, found his hand in the water, and clenched it hard.
Le Zhi clearly felt that the frozen blood in his body began to warm up, and his fearful heart gradually calmed down.
She raised her eyes, looked at the pair of peach blossom eyes that were close at hand, and found that his eyes were also looking at her.
Her An Ran face was printed in the lacquer eyes, and after seeing her own appearance, Le Zhi's heart sank little by little. Because she realizes who is the source of her peace of mind at this moment...
She wanted to let go, but she couldn't let go.
Le Zhi closed her eyes weakly, she was really tired. It seems that every hour of today can be divided into several days to calculate, and now she is exhausted both physically and mentally.
She must be delirious, grabbing the only driftwood beside her, trying to catch her breath.
The mist in the hot spring pool was lingering, entangled between the breaths of the two of them.
Huo Du stared at Le Zhi earnestly, every expression of her tonight flashed through his mind. Calm, brave, timid, vulnerable, fearful, and even dependent and struggling.
Originally, he just wanted to appreciate her murderous appearance, but unfortunately he was delayed by her letter... The ghost knows how impatient he was when he arrived at the hot spring villa. Although An Xuan sent someone to watch the movement in the early morning, as she said in her letter, there are no absolutes in the world, what if
However, his spy trembled, saying that he was almost poisoned by the poison that the Crown Princess had spread all over the villa... If it weren't for the pills he gave the spy that could cure hundreds of poisons, the people he sent Probably the same as Yang Heng's dark guard, he died of poison.
Hearing this, joy instantly filled my chest.
She had a beautiful first fight, and for some reason he seemed happier than she was.
Huo Du felt sorry for missing the scene where she started. He hurried in, not wanting to miss her happy look again.
But he didn't see the joyous branches as he expected. On the contrary, what he saw was a weak figure in the rainstorm, his face turned up and his face turned pale.
Huo Du realized that Le Zhi was only sixteen years old, and she should be as heartless as Qingyu... But she has endured so much.
It takes multiple injuries to deploy such a meticulous killing plan tonight.
Huo Du closed his eyes, trying to recall how he felt when he killed the first time, but unfortunately, it was so far away that he couldn't remember it for a long time.
He just stood there, not daring to go forward for a while. Because he knew very well who brought Le Zhi to such a situation.
—It is Huo Changyun, Huo Xu... Daqi Huo's sin.
And Huo's evil deeds, what more than that
Huo Du knew very well how much he hated the Huo family and Da Qi as the prince of Qi. Even now, what a crazy road of no return he is walking.
As early as when he had decided on the path he was going to take, Huo Du ruthlessly watched everything in the world with a cold eye. Anyone's pain is rejected by him. Including himself.
Because he regards himself as a pawn.
But at this moment, his dead heart seemed to be awakened, and then torn apart heavily. More than ten years after he broke his leg, he felt the dull pain again...
The micro mahjong between his fingers pulled Huo Du's thoughts back. The hand hanging in the hot spring was probably held by Lezhi for a long time, and it started to go numb. But he curled his lips and smiled—
It was not only his hand that was tightly clenched by her.
Huo Du looked down at the small distance between him and Le Zhi. He knew that although Le Zhi grabbed his hand tightly, he was no longer close to him. And her tightly closed eyes, her slender crow's eyelashes trembling slightly, all of them are talking about the contradictions in her heart.
Not long after, Le Zhi's eyes were stained with red.
Huo Du pulled her in front of him, pressed his cool lips to her slightly swollen eyelids, and then took her into his arms. With the whole body sticking to each other, he had to use his inner strength to suppress his lust.
He stroked Lezhi's back with the palm of his hand, his movements unbelievably soft.
"Cry if you want to." Huo Du lowered his voice and coaxed softly.
Le Zhi buried his face in Huo Du's neck, opened his eyes slowly, and obeyed his words no longer. Let the tears flow, lightly rubbing against the skin of his neck. At first, she just sobbed softly, but the more she cried, the more grievances she felt in her heart, and gradually she cried louder and louder.
In addition to grievances, there are self-blame.
After a while, Le Zhi stopped crying and slowly opened his eyes. She stared blankly at the hand she put on Huo Du's back, and an absurd thought floated in her heart—
The heavy rain just now must have been mixed with medicine, otherwise how could she be so greedy for Huo Du's embrace
Yes, it must be so. Even Huo Du, who was stained with her wet clothes, lost his mind. Such a gentle gesture, a coaxing tone, and a kiss that just leaves...
It seems that they should both be seriously ill.
That being the case... Why don't you get sick for a while
Le Zhi closed his eyes, tightened his arms, and hugged him tighter.
The wing room is located next to the hot spring pool, and the room is full of fragrance.
The two changed their clothes and sat side by side on the slump. Maybe it was because the two were too close in the hot spring pool just now. At this moment, when he recalled it, Le Zhi felt a little nervous after realizing it.
But Le Zhi didn't forget, and now he has to get out of here quickly.
—Five corpses outside will be found tomorrow morning. This hot spring villa should be blocked by the government soon.
"Your Highness." Le Zhi reminded in a low voice, "Let's go back to the manor?"
"Not urgent."
Huo Du slowly leaned on the embroidered pillow, took the clean cotton towel by the bed, and wrapped Lezhi around him, letting her lie down on his lap. Then began to wipe her half-wet hair.
Le Zhi looked at his eyebrows in surprise, and seemed to be a little gentle at the moment.
This is too abnormal!
She couldn't help but feel a little panic and timidity in her heart. She put her hands on the collapse, trying to hold herself up. Who knew that Huo Du took one step ahead of her and held her shoulders to prevent her from getting up.
"Take a good rest."
Le Zhi blinked suspiciously: "Didn't you take a break?"
After soaking in the hot spring pool for a long time, it is enough to rest!
Hearing this, Huo Du glanced at her, threw the cotton towel away, raised his hand and stroked her forehead, then pressed it gently. He smiled lowly, obviously, "Have you rested here?"
Le Zhi's body was instantly tense, and she unnaturally rubbed the corners of her eyes to cover up a little wetness. She couldn't deny it. These days, her heart has never been truly calm, and even in her sleep, she is still worried about many things.
Is it so obvious? She was still too immature to hide her emotions well, so Huo Du could easily see through her.
Her eyes darkened, and the ends of her eyes drooped.
This is Lezhi's habit, every time he thinks about it. A habit she didn't even notice herself. But Huo Du had long remembered it in his heart.
Seeing that she was silent, Huo Du lifted her up and sat facing him. He stretched out his fingers and tucked Lezhi's broken hair behind his ears before laughing, "It's okay to keep going. It's still early anyway, let's settle the accounts."
In an instant, all the charm and tenderness disappeared!
Le Zhi closed her eyes hard, and then opened them again. The person in front of him had a playful smile on the corners of her lips. The soft color between her brows and eyes had long since disappeared, as if it was just her illusion.
She pursed her lips, thinking that this person is too uncertain.
Settlement? What's the deal with her
She didn't mess with him!
Although he was certain in his heart, when he met Huo Du's gaze, Le Zhi still felt guilty for no reason. She shrank her head and moved to the side of the bed, unwilling to continue to look at him. After sitting next to him, he murmured: "It's scary again, what's the account..."
Huo Du took her hand, rubbed the back of her hand with his fingertips, and said coldly, "Don't remember?"
After getting along for so long, Le Zhi would not be easily fooled by him. She sat upright and hummed in dissatisfaction: "There is no such thing!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Huo Du hooked her pinky finger and smiled softly: "Unlucky devil."
Le Zhi was stunned, with a look of astonishment.
How did he know what was on that letter
According to her plan, if she hasn't returned by Yin Shi, the letter will be handed over to Huo Du. But he had obviously seen it. So there is only one possibility, that is, Li Yao handed the letter to him in advance.
"Li Yao is disobedient." Le Zhi pursed her lips aggrievedly, she held Huo Du's hand and shook it gently, "Your Highness should not have seen it..."
Huo Du ignored her.
Le Zhi blinked, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized. She bent her lips and smiled, her eyes slyly: "So Your Highness read the letter and was worried about me?"
Huo Du laughed, he stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, preventing her from taking a closer look at the emotion leaking from the bottom of his eyes. He is very clear that his little fox can always find information that is beneficial to him in the fastest time.
She took every step of the way, using everything she could. But he is very measured, never crossing the line and endangering the interests of others.
Even the last words left to him are full of planning. Huo Du has never forgotten that letter since he was a child.
"Your Highness, if you read this letter, then I should no longer be alive.
In fact, I am 90% sure of the plan to kill Yang Heng tonight. It seems unfortunate that that 10% accident happened. I'm such an unlucky person.
Fortunately, it is considered a clean death, and it will not implicate His Highness.
But I'm dead, and it's not entirely useless. Now it should be just over Yin Shi, Your Highness can send someone to the Hot Spring Villa to find my body, in case Yang Heng destroys the corpse and destroys the traces... Then please Your Highness quickly enter the palace, get the first move, and put all the blame on Huo Xu On the body, Yang Heng is Huo Xu's person, he is not clean...
This is the last thing I can do for Your Highness. As for my wish, Your Highness should be very clear.
I have not known His Highness for a long time, but it is time to say goodbye. By the way, don't break the bride's arm during the next big wedding, it really hurts!
In Huangquan, I will bless His Highness that everything goes smoothly, and everything I want will come true.
-Lezhi"
This unique letter, like her own, is crisp and not sloppy at all. Even death, she could take advantage of... She was right, he knew exactly what she wanted.
In this world, the only thing she can't worry about is her sister who is behind bars.
Huo Du didn't know that Le Zhi didn't trust him, but he had to put the final bet on him. Therefore, she will not tell him the plan, nor will she implicate him in the slightest, or even let him suffer a little. Even if he fails to kill and dies, she can plan a perfect plan to attack Huo Xu for him.
Qi's despicable method of destroying Li has already aroused the anger of neighboring countries; at this time, if Le Zhi died at the hands of the Daqi royal family, it would definitely cause an uproar among the countries, and Huo Xu would also become the target of criticism from neighboring countries. .
Such people are destined to miss the throne.
Let him sit firmly in the position of the Crown Prince and take the throne justifiably. This is Le Zhi, in exchange for his bargaining chip to save Le Jin.
Huo Du understands, he understands too much.
- Tonight, whether life or death, Lezhi can win.
He watched what she was doing out of playfulness, not interfering or blocking, just watching quietly. But when he saw the letter, the blood flowing in his body froze in an instant.
The suffocation in the chest is getting heavier, and a fear that has never been raised in my heart...
The long silence made Lezhi a little uncomfortable. Huo Du ignored her and just picked a strand of her long hair and wrapped it around his fingers to play with. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at his face from the corner of her eye, but she still couldn't guess what Huo Du was thinking.
"Those nonsense are not allowed to be written in the future."
Le Zhi was a little dazed, and this dissatisfied tone seemed to have some distressed meaning.
It was so weird tonight.
Her abnormality can also be attributed to the stunned after the murder, but what happened to Huo Du's abnormality? She thought to herself that this hot spring villa would never come again in the future.
"What nonsense? I've been thinking about it for a long time..." Le Zhi muttered softly.
"No more writing." Huo Du let go of her hair, put his hand on her back, and said solemnly.
"Okay." Le Zhi was the most observant, she pulled out of Huo Du's embrace, reached out to hold his gloomy face, and smiled obediently, "Don't worry. Your Highness also saw it, how smooth it was tonight. I don't care at all. Not bad luck, maybe still a lucky star!"
Huo Du put away all the emotions in his eyes and stared at her quietly. He knew that she had pulled away from her terror, and began to pretend to make him happy again. She was smart enough to know how to advance and retreat, and she approached him deliberately but not completely. She controls the distance between them extremely well, not too close, not too far away, not too distant but not too close.
He understands that a heart riddled with holes cannot carry too many emotions.
No problem, then let him heal her.
He's very good at medicine, isn't he
Thinking of this, Huo Du took her into his arms again and repeated her words in a low voice: "I'm quite lucky."
I don't know if I'm talking about her, or I'm talking about myself.
Negative is positive.
Huo Du thought that if the two unlucky ghosts were together, they might actually be able to produce some luck.
The wind and rain outside became less and less, and there was only the sound of rain dripping from the eaves.
Le Zhi still remembered the business, she rubbed Huo Du's neck and asked, "Are we really not leaving yet? People from the government may come as soon as the sun rises..."
Rao is the prince, so he can't be so arrogant, can he
"What's the hurry. Don't want to take shortcuts?"
"Ah?" Le Zhi widened his eyes, sat up, and looked surprised.
Although she knew that Huo Du would not talk casually, but it was too fast, right? How did he suddenly become so good
Huo Du laughed and said slowly: "There are conditions for taking shortcuts. You don't think you can go in vain, do you?"
really! She knows it!
This person is very shrewd, even borrowing money has to pay him three times the interest, how can he help her in vain!
However, Le Zhi felt more at ease.
"What are the conditions?" Le Zhi asked softly, pulling his sleeves.
"Don't worry, it's easy for you." Huo Du didn't say it explicitly, but pulled her to lie down together, then pulled the quilt over the two of them, "Sleep for a while, and the shortcut will be laid when you wake up. already."
Hearing what he said so confidently, Le Zhi heaved a sigh of relief and closed his eyes obediently. But the sound of raindrops outside made her unable to sleep. She frowned, tossing and turning. Suddenly, a pair of cool hands covered her ears, and the noise in her ears disappeared instantly. She opened her eyes, met familiar eyes, and saw his silent mouth-"Sleep."
She hummed softly and closed her eyes again. She was exhausted from the long day's work, and soon fell asleep.
Le Zhi never imagined that she would dream of her mother. She didn't expect that the mother who had always loved her would look at her with unfamiliar eyes and say to her with a cold face: "Zhizhi, do you still remember the beliefs of the Dali people?"
"Of course I remember!" she replied.
Dali people believe in the God of Leshan.
- Gentleness, kindness, benevolence and obedience.
"Then what's in your hands?"
Le Zhi suddenly lowered her head and saw her blood-stained hands... Her heart was shaking, she was flustered and at a loss.
"Zhizhi, people who are covered in blood cannot be blessed by the God of Leshan." The queen mother looked sad and wanted to cry, "You and we will not meet in Huangquan in the future."
"No, no!" she shouted, shaking her head.
But as soon as the screen turned, the figure of the mother disappeared. The surroundings suddenly darkened.
There was low evil laughter behind him, Le Zhi turned around in surprise, saw Yang Heng and the four dark guards, they grinned, "You are not a good person like us! Hahaha, we are here waiting for you!"
As they opened their mouths, black blood flowed down the corners of their mouths... terrifying!
Lezhi kept retreating, but there was a sticky feeling under his feet. She lowered her head and found that more and more blood had collected on the ground, almost over her ankles.
She struggled, but her feet couldn't move, she could only watch the blood come up little by little.
There is only despair left in my heart...
"Lezhi, Lezhi... Wake up!"
Who is calling her
Who else could it be, there is only one person in this world who will call her by her first name and last name.
Le Zhi opened her eyes, and there was a mist in front of her. She saw the familiar silhouette from the haze. She couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality, or she didn't tell the difference on purpose.
"Do you want to drink water?"
Le Zhi felt that her throat was burning with dryness, but she shook her head. Because she saw that there were some drops of water left on Huo Du's lips, he should have just drank water. Out of nowhere, she approached him, and from those lacquered pupils, she saw the way she was kissing her hard...
She didn't dare to look anymore, she closed her eyes with a guilty conscience, letting the residual tears in her eyes fall.
No doubt she was crazy.
For fear of being dragged into hell by evil spirits, she chose to hold a wolf. It seemed that as long as she held him, those evil spirits would not be able to get close to her.
It's crazy and dangerous.
Undoubtedly, drinking poison to quench thirst.
After a long time, she released the hand around his neck and ended the unexpected kiss.
Le Zhi opened his eyes cautiously, and raised his eyes timidly to look at Huo Du's face. I saw that he raised his hand and gently pressed the lips that were kissed red by her with the pulp of his fingers, and then looked at her.
She quickly lowered her eyes and dared not continue to look at her "masterpiece".
"Not bad." Huo Du leisurely commented, "Compared to the last time, it is very beneficial."
"Thank you..." Le Zhi bit her lip, thinking that this is the case anyway, it's useless to stand up and face, so she generously took the compliment, "It will be better next time."
Huo Du was amused by her, he stretched out his fingers and lifted Le Zhi's chin, focused on the tears on her cheeks, and then gently wiped them away with the pulp of his fingers. Remembering her just now at a loss, he asked, "Have you had a nightmare?"
Le Zhi hesitated for a moment before nodding lightly.
"tell me the story?"
Although it is a questioning tone, it has a coaxing meaning.
Le Zhi lowered his head, leaned his body softly against the embroidered pillow, and said in a daze, "Has your Highness ever heard the legend of Dali Le Shanshen?"
Huo Du raised his hand and put her head on his shoulder, letting her rest comfortably on his shoulder. Then he hummed, "I heard some."
He lied, except for Daqi, he knew all the beliefs of the other four kingdoms and three tribes.
There is only Daqi, there is no god, and there is no belief. Even the annual ritual prayers of the royal family are nothing more than pretences.
A king without faith has nothing to restrain his actions.
"When I was a child, my father told me that since the establishment of Dali, the Le family has believed in the Leshan God. Because the ancestors of the Le family were always kind and charitable. After they passed away, they became the gods of Leshan in the sky. Bless the Le family and the people of Dali... Did you know? In Dali, every family can stay open at night, and the neighbors are like close relatives and friends. The people live and work in peace and contentment, theft and fraud rarely happen, and murder is a rare occurrence. This kind of evil has never been done before.”
Le Zhi suppressed his heart and continued to say: "Because the people of Dali know that if their hands are stained with blood, it will be difficult to obtain the protection of Leshan God, so no one dares to kill..."
When the conversation changed, she smiled sadly and choked her voice, "My Da Li's troops are not bad. Until the day when Qi soldiers attacked the city, Li soldiers did not intend to kill, but Qi soldiers were lethal. Brother Huang, he is very skilled in martial arts, but he can't bear to hurt people's lives... Do you know how many holes there are in his body when he closes his eyes
Huo Du's heart sank, he raised his hand and stroked her back, his tone was dull: "Don't talk."
He didn't want her to recall it again and cut the wound open again.
"Does your Highness think it's ridiculous? I think it's ridiculous too, it's ridiculous." Le Zhi curled his lips and smiled brightly, but his eyes were full of pain, "If there really is a Leshan God, why didn't you save us at that time?"
"It's fake, it's all fake. I don't believe it!"
Huo Du hugged her, feeling her body tremble and frowning.
"But just now, I dreamed of my mother, and she said... She said my hands were covered in blood. I won't be able to see them after I die."
Le Zhi finally cried. She is not afraid of killing people, nor is she afraid of losing the protection of the Leshan God. But she was afraid that she would not be able to see her relatives again after she died. She'll be in hell forever alone, with demons...
Thinking of this, she shuddered.
She knew that she shouldn't have said this to Huo Du.
Will he be laughed at
But her heart was so overwhelmed that she had no one to sue except Huo Du.
How sad. isn't it
Today, she actually wants to confide this to the prince of the enemy country.
That's it. Too much has happened today.
Le Zhi thought to herself, this time, she only allowed herself to be vulnerable this time. When the sun rises tomorrow, she will put away these useless fragility and never mention it again.
"You can see them."
Hearing the sound, Le Zhi raised her head, her face dazed, with tears still hanging from her eyelashes.
Huo Du approached her, pressed her forehead against her forehead, and said softly, "In exchange, I will also tell you a secret about the Daqi Huo family."
"Huo's descendants, after marrying a wife or a person, their fate will be linked to each other. We can transfer the sins of the other party to ourselves, and we can transfer the blessings of ourselves to the other party."
The four eyes were facing each other, and only the other was in the eyes of the two. Huo Du said seriously: "So all the five people you killed today can be transferred to me."
-What you're afraid of, I'll take care of it for you.
After he finished speaking, he got up and distanced himself from her.
Le Zhi touched his forehead suspiciously, a little disbelieving: "Really?"
Huo Du raised his eyebrows.
- Of course it's fake.
"Don't believe it?" He said casually, then leaned over to touch her forehead again, "Okay, then take it back."
Seeing this, Le Zhi completely believed it. She avoided it and whispered, "No..."
But after thinking about it, she was a little worried, "If it turns to His Royal Highness, then you, don't you want to..."
"Go to hell?" Huo Du sneered, disdainful at all, "I killed countless people, there is no difference between five more and less than five."
Daqi Huo, without faith, Huo Du doesn't care about this. Since she was afraid, he would coax her. If it is as she said, if she kills someone, she will fall into hell, then he will protect her.
With him, how could any evil spirit dare to approach
Le Zhi felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded, "Then... Thank you."
Huo Du's breath was slightly stagnant, he glanced at her, but did not speak.
- The little fox really has no conscience.
But so what
He was very happy.
"Boom boom-"
There was a knock on the door, followed by An Xuan's voice, "Your Highness, everyone is here."
Hearing this, Huo Du smiled lowly and said, "Let's go, the shortcut is paved."
Le Zhi stayed at the bed according to the words, tidied up his clothes, and then turned around to arrange it for Huo Du. Huo Du stared at her, and from this action, he actually felt a little bit of a quiet time.
"Okay!" Le Zhi smiled and went to help him by the arm. I don't know when, when the two were side by side, she always helped him unconsciously.
"Wait." Huo Du said leisurely, "Put on a cloak again."
Le Zhi let out an "oh" and turned around to get the cotton cloak on the hanger. She first put the dark green one over Huo Du's shoulders, and then carefully tied the straps.
Huo Du always wears little, and never likes to wear a cotton cloak. But because she was immersed in her focused eyebrows, she didn't make a sound to stop her.
Stove, cotton cloak... She always seemed to make him willing to make an exception. Huo Du laughed. He suddenly wanted to see what unexpected things he could do for her.
Oh, how interesting.
I came out of the wing, walked through the corridor, and gradually approached the bloody pavilion just now.
Le Zhi was a little afraid to look at the corpse left there, but he couldn't help but glance at it from the corner of his eye. But at a glance, she realized that something was wrong—
The corpses on the ground and on the eaves are all gone, not even a trace...
If it wasn't for her own hands, she would have doubted whether Yang Heng had never been here.
"Don't look at it, it's all dealt with."
As if Huo Du could see through her thoughts, he opened his mouth to remind.
Le Zhi sighed enviously.
It's so good, it feels so good to have someone under your hand. You don't have to do it yourself to achieve your goals.
She remembered the five teenagers she brought back from the slave farm, and thought that she would start training them when she went back. She cheered herself up in her heart—
One day, she will be as strong as Huo Du.
No no, she is stronger than him.
In the west courtyard of Hot Spring Villa, there is a dry shallow pool.
Lezhi has been thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't see anything. Could this be the shortcut Huo Du said
That's it
At this time, An Xuan, who was standing by the side, stepped in. He approached the depleted spring in the middle of the shallow pool, and pressed it with the scabbard...
In an instant, the wall of the pool in front of Lezhi sank, and a step leading to the ground was slowly spread out!
She was so startled that her cherry lips parted slightly, "This is...?"
"Shortcut."
Le Zhi followed Huo Du down in shock. She thought she knew everything about this villa, but she never thought that there was a secret passage here.
The slight confidence that had just been born just now dissipated. How powerful is Huo Du? If they become rivals in the future, will she really have a chance of winning
But at this time, she couldn't think so much.
The further she walked, the brighter the lights became—until she stepped into a huge secret room.
There were several secret guards standing inside, and when they saw them coming in, they nodded and saluted: "My subordinates see Your Highness and Crown Princess."
But Le Zhi's eyes locked firmly on the three people kneeling on the ground. She doesn't know their names, but she doesn't forget their faces—
A month ago, together with Yang Heng, they touched their sister's face and body with dirty hands.
The chest was ups and downs, and Le Zhi clenched the hand hidden between the sleeves into a fist.
Suddenly, a cold hand held her fist quietly, she turned her head and stared at him.
"Don't worry." With a smile in Huo Du's peach blossom eyes, he said slowly, "Since it's a shortcut, I won't bother the Crown Princess to do it herself."
After he finished speaking, he led her to the armchair and pressed her on her shoulder to let her sit down. Then he walked to the other side of the mahogany table and sat down. From beginning to end, Huo Du's attitude was unhurried. He even poured a cup of hot tea slowly and pushed it to her hand.
Le Zhi felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
Yes, in the attic of the mansion not long ago, he also invited her to kill together like this...
Obviously it was too late, she suddenly felt that her mood had also undergone a great change. Recalling the panic and fear at that time, it seems like a lifetime. Now, not only is she not afraid, she even... has faint expectations.
She lifted the teacup naturally and took a leisurely sip of the hot tea.
Huo Du retracted the gaze that fell on her face, and looked coldly at the three people with the cloth balls stuffed in their mouths.
"Then come one by one." He glanced at Le Zhi's clenched right fist, and said casually, "Start from the rightmost one."
Dark Guard ordered to say yes.
The man on the far right was dragged a few steps forward, and the dark guard took the cloth ball from his mouth. The man was shiny and disheveled. He took a few deep breaths and looked at Huo Du with a stern gaze.
He couldn't figure it out, His Royal Highness and King Jingxian were not on good terms. Although the Shenyi Army was under King Jingxian, he had never had a head-to-head confrontation with the Prince after all!
He tilted his head, looked at Lezhi's expression from the corner of his eye, and his heart sank...
Is it for that day
Impossible!
For so many years, the prince has never been close to women. Wasn't this Princess of Li Kingdom forcibly stuffed by His Majesty
But in the bottom of my heart, a gloomy feeling rose involuntarily.
"The laws of Daqi are strict. Does His Royal Highness want to use lynching?" The man pretended to be calm. After all, he was also the deputy forward of the Shenyi Army. What if he was ordered to do something to the prisoners of war
What's more, the princess of the country of Li, isn't it all right
Huo Du likes to see people who are still unrepentant before they die, which is very interesting. He hooked his lips, and his tone was even more natural: "Yes."
"You!" The man gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Don't forget, Your Highness, I am from the country of Qi. This woman is a foreigner. How can you be fascinated by her and kill your compatriots for her!"
"Mmmmmmm..."
Peach Blossom's eyes crawled with a thick shadow. The guard responded very quickly, quickly opened the man's mouth and threw a pill in, then covered his mouth with his hand.
After a while, the struggle disappeared in a low voice. The guard released his hand, and the man's mouth was dripping with blood, and there was also a corrupted and deformed tongue...
His face twisted and he collapsed to the ground. No more sound came out.
The pungent bloody smell diffused in the airtight dark room.
Huo Du appreciated this scene with satisfaction, he loved the scene of blood flowing very much. He turned his head to look at Le Zhi's cold and white profile.
- Wouldn't she like it too
"Drag down and let the blood dry."
damn thing.
who are your siblings.
The remaining two people, seeing this situation, reacted very differently. The one in the middle tilted his neck, looking like a madman, trying to rush forward... His hands were tied back and couldn't break free, but the cloth ball in the mouth fell down.
He scolded Lezhi like a madman—
"Demon girl! You seek revenge by seducing such a lunatic, and you will be attacked in the future!"
Huo Du almost immediately took the lid of the cup on the table and wanted to throw it at the man. But when he raised his hand, Le Zhi pulled him, "Listen to him."
Anyway, he couldn't survive, so the man simply went for it. He turned his head and yelled at Huo Du: "Have you never seen a woman with this disability? No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just a thing, but you are being led by the nose. !"
"Do you think she has you in her heart? Dream! Who likes disability, she is the person of the Third Highness!" He grinned wildly, "Wake up, this woman and the throne will belong to the Third Highness! Hahaha!"
Le Zhi frowned, such foul language couldn't hurt her, she just felt noisy.
If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't let him speak.
She looked sideways at Huo Du's reaction, and saw a smile on his gloomy face.
But she smelled dangerous...
"Come on! Feed me the medicine!" The man opened his mouth and shouted at the guard!
A laughter sounded - "Don't you like to bark?"
