The guards loosened Fu Xian's ties again, with skillful movements and swift movements... After untying the hemp ropes, they hurriedly left the backyard as ordered by His Royal Highness.
Soon, only Le Zhi and Fu Xian were left in the huge yard.
Le Zhi stared blankly at the direction Huo Du had left, and was greatly puzzled. Just now, she clearly felt the anger in his eyes, but for some reason, after he staggered slightly, the lacquer eyes lit up again.
He hurriedly instructed the guard a few times, and then threw a word "you talk" to her, and left quickly.
That posture, quite a bit of escape.
Le Zhi frowned, more and more confused about what he was thinking.
"Twigs."
Fu Xian's call brought back Lezhi's thoughts. She raised her legs and took a few steps forward, asking, "Brother Fu Xian, what's the matter? Why are you here?"
Fu Xian looked at Le Zhi's face, and was shocked to realize that this little princess, who was so charming in everyone's eyes, now had an air of maturity in her eyebrows, but it was not because of her age, but the result of a dramatic change in her mood...
His heart was stabbed.
When the Qi soldiers attacked the city, he was not in the capital, but wrote local chronicles in Fengyang City. Later, when the Qi soldiers came, he desperately wanted to go back—
His loved ones and his relatives are all in the capital!
But the prefect of Fengyang City stopped him, and even knocked him unconscious and placed him in the secret room... When he came out, everything changed.
Country and home are gone.
These days, Fu Xian has gathered the people of Li who were scattered everywhere, trying to come to Daqi to rescue their relatives...
However, after lurking in Daqi for so long, Fu Xian understood how difficult it was to rescue him, seeing the strong force in Daqi and the few remaining soldiers of the Li Kingdom. However, ever since he knew the humiliation Xiao Jin had suffered on the day the capital was destroyed, his heart was twisted into unbearable pain all the time.
He hates himself and reads all the sage books. As of now, it's useless. If he had known earlier, he must have been practising martial arts and not writing since he was a child. If so, would he be able to protect his beloved
Xia Feitai was guarded by heavy troops, and Fu Xian went to investigate several times, but he couldn't find any breakthrough. However, he saw Le Zhi who went to visit his sister... He knew that Huo Xu was a bastard who brought Le Zhi back to Qi, but when he turned around, he married her to the prince of Qi.
Xiaojin's most beloved sister, I don't know how many horrible things have happened.
Fu Xian didn't dare to think about it.
He could only follow her quietly, but he didn't dare to come forward and recognize her. First, he was afraid that his appearance would bring trouble to Lezhi, and secondly, his guilt made him unable to face Lezhi.
When Xiaojin and Lezhi were in the most pain, he couldn't accompany them...
Until he was caught by Huo Du, Fu Xian thought he was doomed, but Huo Du just let him go after asking him a few questions.
Since he didn't die, Fu Xian had a bold plan in his heart.
- Breaking into Xia Feitai, saving Xiaojin.
Fu Xian has nowhere to go. He doesn't know what kind of crime Xiao Jin will suffer in it. What are you afraid of death? He couldn't bear to wait any longer.
This despair is endless.
When Fu Xian was about to act, he didn't expect someone to help Xiao Jin out of Xia Fei's platform and get on the carriage... The carriage was surrounded by guards, and Fu Xian, who was the leader, knew that he was with Huo Du that day. people.
Fu Xian knew that most people in Qi were lecherous, and those in the royal family were even more unbearable. So, when Huo Du picked up Xiao Jin, did he think...? He no longer hesitates, Xia Feitai is like an iron wall, since Xiaojin has come out, he must seize this rare opportunity and act on the way!
... But he still failed, and was even captured by Huo Du's people again.
"I'm sorry, Zhizhi." Fu Xian lowered his head, full of struggle and self-blame, "I'm useless, I can't save your sister... and I'm also implicated in you."
Le Zhi looked at his haggard expression and sighed. How could she blame him? What does the current situation have to do with Fu Xian
He... has done all he can.
"Don't be sad, Brother Fu Xian, we... have to look forward."
Hearing this, Fu Xian raised his eyes and asked cautiously, "How about you, Zhizhi, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. But sister she... "
"What's wrong with Xiaojin? Where is she, I want to see her!" Fu Xian was so anxious, but when he thought about where he was now, his eyes darkened, "Can I... go? That prince of Qi State …”
Le Zhi thought for a moment, thinking that it would be better to talk to Huo Du about this, and then said to Fu Xian, "I'll go ask him."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"Zhizhi..." Fu Xian called out to her, "If you go begging him in a low-key manner to see your sister, I'd rather die."
After a pause, he added: "I think Xiaojin will be the same as me."
Le Zhi shook his head and comforted: "Don't worry, he... He's not a bad person."
Hearing this, Fu Xian frowned, and he snorted, not believing it at all. This is probably Le Zhi's nonsense because he is afraid that he is worried.
When he was in the secret prison last time, Huo Du's aggressive, contemptuous and mocking words were truly unforgettable for him.
How can such a person be a good person
What's more, his surname is Huo, the son of Huo Changyun.
Le Zhi didn't know the reason, and he was puzzled. How could Fu Xian have such a big resentment against Huo Du? If it was simply because Huo Du caught him, it should be more than that. After all, Huo Du hasn't treated him yet!
"Brother Fu Xian, why do you hate him so much?"
Fu Xian didn't intend to tell Le Zhi about the secret prison, but when she asked, he didn't hide it... With what Fu Xian said, Le Zhi's face became more and more surprised.
"He ridiculed Xiaojin, saying that she was no longer a high-ranking princess of the Li Kingdom." Fu Xian said angrily.
It doesn't matter how Huo Du humiliates him, but he can't stand someone saying that Xiao Jin is unpleasant!
Le Zhi was stunned, and after rationalizing her thoughts, she roughly understood.
- So that day in the secret prison, these two men talked for a long time, but they were not talking about the same princess...
She suddenly understood why Huo Du left in a hurry after she called out "brother-in-law".
"He must have misunderstood..." Le Zhi muttered.
"what?"
"I can't explain it for a while." Le Zhi sighed softly, "Brother Fu Xian, sit here for a while, and I will definitely let you see my sister."
Fu Xian nodded.
Now that people are under the eaves, he cannot act rashly and implicate Lezhi.
Le Zhi went from the study, the main hall, to the bedroom all the way, but Huo Du was not seen. She thought he was out of the house, so she went to the gate and asked, but the guards all said that they had never seen His Royal Highness.
Where did Huo Du go
"Is the Crown Princess looking for His Highness?" An Xuan came from not far away and said in a deep voice, "Please come with me."
Le Zhi nodded, followed An Xuan's footsteps, and didn't stop until he reached the flower house in the north corner.
"here is?"
"When His Highness is upset, he will come here alone. This is a restricted area in the mansion, no one can enter without authorization. The Crown Princess can wait here for His Highness to come out."
After Lezhi nodded, An Xuan walked away.
When the north wind picked up, Le Zhi tightened the placket of his clothes, sat down on the steps, and waited slowly.
-Since this is his restricted area, she will not go in. Everyone has their own way of resolving their worries, and she respects him and will not disturb him.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Huo Du to come out... Seeing Le Zhi sitting on the steps with his knees in his arms, he was obviously stunned, then turned to frown.
Le Zhi rubbed his hands and stood up, ran a few steps towards him, and said half-jokingly, "Your Highness has been in it for a long time, you won't hide any beauties in it, right?"
The cold wind blew in the ears, and by the way, the dress was blown up. Le Zhi was wearing a warm apricot-colored skirt today. At this time, the hem of the skirt was blown by the wind, and it was tightly attached to Huo Du's Shanghai Molan robe...
Huo Duqi's eyes were deep, but he didn't speak.
Suddenly, his wrist tightened, and Le Zhi was pulled by Huo Du into the flower room together. As the door was closed, the cold wind outside was blocked, and the warm fragrance in the flower room spread all over the body.
Le Zhi stared blankly at the unknown flowers of various colors. He didn't expect Huo Du to like flowers and plants? She quietly looked sideways and found that he was still staring at the flowers in silence.
She also lowered her gaze to the petals, and said to herself, as if speaking to the flowers, "Fu Xian, the son of Li Guodiange, a high school senior, made a marriage contract with my sister since childhood. People are also in love with each other. Although they are not married yet, in private, I will call him brother-in-law... "
Le Zhi blinked and felt that he had nothing to miss, but he still added, "Is there anything else Your Highness would like to know?"
This time, Huo Du smiled, but there was a slight sneer in his smile, "What are you talking about with me? Who is Fu Xian and what does it have to do with me?"
Le Zhi turned to face his profile and smiled softly, "Well, Your Highness doesn't want to know at all, I want to say it myself."
In an instant, Huo Du clearly realized—
Her own emotions, anger and sorrow, had long been easily held in her hands and moved at will.
Le Zhi lowered her eyes and looked at his hand hanging beside him. Then, reaching out to hold his palm, he said softly, "Thank you..."
Huo Du smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
- She only thanked him, didn't she
Le Zhi suddenly felt like crying.
Just now, she saw everything clearly. She knew that what Huo Du wanted was more than just gratitude... but the sourness in her heart forced her to face her heart honestly.
What is hidden in that heart, wrapped in the coat of gratitude
Le Zhi raised his eyes and looked around. The flower house was very large and quiet, and it seemed to be isolated from the world in the north corner. An absurd thought suddenly occurred to her mind—
Intense and involuntary.
She walked slowly to Huo Du, raised her arms around his waist and embraced him, pressing her face gently against his neck. Feeling a momentary tension in his back, a slightly suspicious cool breath came from his ears, "You..."
"Don't talk." Le Zhi stopped him from speaking.
She leaned on his shoulder and meditated in her heart.
—Half a quarter of an hour, just a quarter of an hour is fine. She only allowed herself to be greedy once.
During these half-hours, there was neither the Princess of Li State nor the Prince of Qi State.
Just him and her.
He stroked a hand on his back and pressed slightly to make her stick to him even tighter.
Le Zhi felt the temperature on his body and Huo Du tend to be one, and quietly listened to the entangled heartbeat of the two. She closed her eyes slowly, hiding her tears well.
