The warm sun rises, and the sun shines on Le Zhi, making her whole person sparkle.
Huo Du watched her expression earnestly. He liked her the most, full of vigor and vitality. But when he thought that her vitality stemmed from full of hatred, his heart sank again.
"Have an idea?" he asked casually.
Le Zhi nodded, his eyes turned slightly, "If Brother Fu Xian makes a lot of noise when he robs the carriage, it's impossible for Huo Xu not to notice, he just wants you to make a mistake!"
After a pause, she cast her gaze on Huo Du's face and asked with certainty, "Your Highness didn't declare Fu Xian's identity as a saint?"
Huo Du hummed slowly.
Hearing this, Le Zhi's lips curled into a faint smile.
If it was just an ordinary gangster, and Huo Du's identity was handled at will, naturally no one would intervene. But Fu Xian's identity is special—
He is the nobleman of Li Guo who was arrested.
The influence of Qi's extermination of Li was considerable, and Emperor Qi was very cautious about the remaining royal family members and nobles of Li. He ordered as early as a month ago that if the remnants of the Li kingdom were caught, they must be handed over to the imperial front, and he would personally interrogate them.
First, he wanted to win over the old people of the state of Li to quell the anger of the neighboring countries; secondly, he was also worried that the old people of the state of Li would gather together and form a counterattack.
Huo Changyun was cautious about them.
Therefore, as long as Huo Du doesn't report, it is equivalent to giving Huo Xu a chance to turn defeat into victory. If the remnants of the Li Kingdom are found in the Prince's Mansion, Huo Xu can make a big fuss about life or death—
If the person is dead, he can spread the news that the prince of Qi State has brutally killed the people of Li State, in order to arouse public anger; if the person is still alive, he can say that Huo Du is hiding the remnants of the Li State, and he doesn't know what he has in mind. Huo Changyun was suspicious, so Huo Xu could take advantage of it.
However, Huo Xu did not act for a long time.
Le Zhi knew that the failure of the last assassination and the recent unhappiness made Huo Xu hesitate. Isn't hesitating and not being decisive enough the biggest weakness of Huo Xu
If he is decisive enough, on the day he captures the capital of the Li Kingdom, he should slaughter all the Le family.
Since he forced her to survive, Lezhi will live up to his good intentions.
Ah.
The breeze blew up Lezhi's broken hair and gradually blew away the smile on her face.
Huo Du pinned the corners of her cold lips, and he couldn't bear it in his heart. He was originally a person who liked to play with cruelty, but he asked unprecedentedly: "That bastard, why don't you just kill it?"
Why bother so much.
At first, he was a bystander, leisurely watching Le Zhi's plan step by step. But now, as he watched her worry and worry, the suffocation in his chest became worse.
Those deep in the quagmire of revenge know this feeling best. When the blood of the enemy is stained on the hands, and the heart is full of joy, at the same time, I will become less and less aware of myself.
With the disappearance of the enemy, there is also the former self.
Once, it was my own self.
Huo Du didn't want Le Zhi to get deeper and deeper, just because he knew that he was trapped inside, he wanted to push her out even more.
With light on her body, she should not fall into darkness.
Therefore, Huo Du was willing to slightly change his plan and give Huo Xu a happy death.
But-
"No." Le Zhi shook her head firmly, and she said coldly, "How can he be so cheap."
The resentment in her chest pooled, and she couldn't breathe. If Huo Du had said this earlier, she would have been very happy. At that time, she simply wanted Huo Xu to die.
But that day, after she personally killed Yang Heng, the joy in her imagination did not last long... Especially every time she saw her sister, Le Zhi felt from the bottom of her heart that Yang Heng died too easily. .
Even Yang Heng made her feel that way, let alone Huo Xu.
Huo Xu owes Dali, how much more is he to pay off with his life
Death is the easiest thing to do. Le Zhi hoped that Huo Xu would lose the things he wanted most, power, the throne, and the woman he thought he loved. The taste of empty bamboo baskets will make him completely collapse... Until then, he will be eligible to die.
There seemed to be a layer of water mist in front of her eyes, and Le Zhi lowered her eyes to prevent Huo Du from seeing the wetness in her eyes.
The coldness emanating from his heart made Le Zhi tremble all over. She knew very well that she couldn't look back. If someone told her a year ago that she would become like this one day, she would never have believed it.
Not only her, the father, mother, queen, and elder brother would not believe it.
The happy branch, who used to be soft-hearted, warm, and did not care about anything, will now become hard-hearted, cold, and vindictive.
A person who grew up surrounded by love since childhood can actually grow up like this.
Lezhi suppressed the sourness in his eyes, and his heart was gloomy—
She knew exactly why she had changed.
It is because of growing up in love and kindness that once these are destroyed, her heart twists uncontrollably. The demon devoured the warmth around her, so she had to become fierce and fierce in order to fight the demon.
Even after winning, those loves will never come back. She also wants to use the blood of the devil to pay homage to all this...
A smooth warmth suddenly came from his palm, and Le Zhi suddenly returned to his senses. She hid the stern look in her eyes, showed an ordinary light smile, raised her eyes to look at Huo Du, and shook his hand, as if acting like a spoiled child.
"understood."
Knowing that he promised her that he would cooperate with her actions. Le Zhi curled her lips, "Thank you..."
Then, she leaned towards Huo Du's shoulder and deliberately put her head on his shoulder to prevent him from seeing the emotion in her eyes. Her eyes darkened, because she knew that Le Zhi, who Huo Du liked, was disguised by her...
Maybe it can't be called a disguise, but except for the hot spring villa, what she showed in front of him was mostly the former self, soft and obedient.
If Huo Du knew about the huge dark side she had hidden in her heart, and her ultimate plan and goals, 80% of them would be shocked, and maybe even kill her easily...
No matter what the road ahead is, they are always on opposite ends of the spectrum.
A lunatic and a lunatic are incompatible after all.
Huo Du stared at Le Zhi's profile for a long time.
In all fairness, she concealed her expression well and the emotions in her eyes very well. However, he could sense her struggle and pain through her heartbeat.
Because they are the same kind of people.
He sighed silently—
Well, if you are determined to step into the darkness, then come.
Anyway, I am protecting you.
Jingxian Palace.
Huo Xu was smashing things irritably in the study. He didn't even know what happened to him last night to do those things to Shen Qingyan... Although he didn't like her, he was definitely not someone who treated women harshly.
It's all Shen Huai's fault!
Also, get drunk!
Otherwise, he would never have done such an outrageous thing.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the study, and a sweet voice came, "Your Highness—"
Just listening to the sound can make one's body numb. Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, he coughed lightly, "Come in."
Jiang Man pushed open the door, twisted her waist and slowly entered the room. She put the tray in her hand on the desk, and untied her cloak and put it aside. Then he walked to Huo Xu's side and said, "I heard that the lord didn't even use breakfast, so he locked himself in the study. My concubine was so worried."
The rich fragrance wafted away, and Huo Xu's heart fluttered slightly. He raised his arms around Jiang Man's waist and let her sit on his lap.
"Your Highness..." Jiang Man put his hand on his shoulder and pretended to push him away, but his body was closer to him.
Huo Xu couldn't help but start to get distracted. At Shen Qingyan's place last night, although he tossed a little too much, he wasn't enjoying himself at all. How can a noble girl like Shen Qingyan know how to serve people
It's so dumb!
Holding Mianxiang in his arms, Huo Xu's hand on his soft waist gradually moved down, then his eyes darkened and he took a deep breath. He leaned close to Jiang Man and nibbled at her earlobe, "Are you not wearing a hakama?"
He was answered by a low murmur.
"Fairy!"
Huo Xu eagerly carried her to the table, lifted her thin skirt, and was about to put his hand in when there was a knock on the door—
"My lord, the slaves are in a hurry to report!"
"Go away!" Huo Xu blushed, his desire was hard to dissipate.
"My lord, it's... a secret letter to you."
In an instant, the heat on his body was extinguished, Huo Xu calmed down and carried Jiang Man off the table, "You go back first."
But Jiang Man was aggrieved, pulled at the front of his shirt, and shook his head reluctantly.
"Go back!" Huo Xu raised his voice slightly.
Seeing this, Jiang Man had to bow down and retire. When he opened the door and saw Qin Yu, he gave him a displeased look. Jiang Man knew who wrote that letter, and she knew who she was as a stand-in.
She pretended to be obedient for so long, but she still couldn't shake that person's position in Huo Xu's heart.
She is not reconciled!
Gritting his teeth, Jiang Man tightened his cloak and walked out of the study.
After getting Le Zhi's letter, Huo Xu hurriedly opened it. After reading the contents of the letter, he felt that most of the anger in his heart had disappeared.
"Qin Yu, pass my order to rectify the soldiers of the government!"
There was a happy smile on his lips, and tonight, he will definitely raise his eyebrows.
Originally, she was worried that the embarrassment during the last meeting would make Zhizhi unhappy, but fortunately, she always had him in her heart.
But also, in Daqi, besides him, who else can she rely on
No, in order to save Fu Xian, she had to ask him for help.
In fact, Huo Xu received the news yesterday, but because of Huo Du's cunning, he didn't dare to act rashly. But with this letter from Zhizhi, he knew exactly where Huo Du imprisoned Fu Xian in the Prince's Mansion.
Rescue Fu Xian was second, what he wanted was to catch Huo Du.
Huo Xu smiled and continued to focus his eyes on the stationery, looking at the familiar handwriting, thinking of that terrifying face, his heart was agitated.
He felt that Zhizhi would soon be able to return to her side.
At that time, he will definitely embrace her to sleep every night, rubbing his ears and temples, lingering lingeringly.
He swore that he would never let go of her hand again, never let her take half a step away from him.
