The long, deep kiss was like a gust of wind and rain, and the hands holding Huo Du's cheeks fell weakly, resting on his shoulders. Although it wasn't as short of breath as last time, but the breath was still a little suffocated, Le Zhi gently pushed his shoulder, trying to let him loose...
Feeling her refusal, Huo Du loosened the hand around her waist, but there was a deliberate smile on the corner of his lips. When his lips were about to leave, he suddenly leaned over to embrace her upper lip, bit her lightly and backed away.
Le Zhi's snowy cheeks were crimson, and her slightly swollen cherry lips were also glistening. She coughed lightly, her eyes flickered but she pretended to be calm and said, "Let me push your Highness to sit in the yard?"
Huo Du chuckled, but didn't even open his mouth to tease her. He reached out and pressed her soft lips with the pulp of his fingers, and said hello.
The warm sun shone on his body, and the sickness seemed to dissipate unconsciously.
Le Zhi held a large stack of account books, and sat at the stone table to read carefully.
- I've been ill for several days, and I have a lot of accounts to settle!
As she read, she used a pen to excerpt some of the questions, and every few moments she reached for the preserves and candies on the table... After drinking the bitter medicine for so long, she wanted to eat more sweetness Make up for it!
The orange candy in her mouth melted, and before she could get it, a crystal clear grapefruit candy appeared in front of her. Almost without thinking, she opened her mouth and took the sugar into her mouth.
The sweet taste spreads in the mouth, and the mint flavor also seems to pass into the nose. Only then did Le Zhi realize who was feeding her candy...
She raised her eyes in a daze, looking at the person beside her.
Her heart was full of panic and confusion, which made her tremble uncontrollably, and she suddenly felt a little helpless.
What is the relationship between them now? She felt like she was caught in a huge vortex, going around in a circle, almost engulfing her.
Turning her head to the side, Le Zhi deliberately avoided his gaze, and she couldn't look at him calmly anymore...
At this time, Li Yao's figure gradually approached, but when he reached the corridor, he stopped and did not dare to come forward to disturb him. Le Zhi saw the anxious look on her face, and her heart sank.
- Li Yao's appearance must be an important matter.
Le Zhi got up and walked down the porch. When she approached, Li Yao lowered his voice and said, "Master, I have a letter from you." Li Yao took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Le Zhi, "This morning, the servants and servants Jing Xin went to the shop, and when she came back, she saw Lu Ying lingering outside the mansion gate. She didn't dare to let anyone pass it on, so she kept waiting for me there. It should have been a long time... "
After receiving the letter, Le Zhi put away the smile on his face. Since it was Lu Ying who came, this letter must have been written to her by Shen Qingyan.
"The slave maid looked at Lu Ying, and she was very haggard. When she gave me the letter, she faintly showed her wrist, and there was a dark green on it..."
"what?"
Le Zhi was stunned, Lu Ying was Shen Qingyan's personal maid anyway, no one should dare to embarrass her. Then her injury should be Huo Xu...
Shameless!
She nodded heavily, letting Li Yao back down.
Turning around and walking back, Le Zhi lowered his eyes and stared at the letter in his hand, not daring to open it for a while to look at it...
"Yo, which little lover's letter is it?"
The familiar sound of teasing made Le Zhi's thoughts converge. She raised her eyes to look at Huo Du who was sitting in the white jade wheelchair, glared at him, and threw the letter directly into his arms.
Huo Du chuckled lightly and put the letter on the stone table, "The illness has healed, and his temper has grown."
I didn't learn it from you!
Le Zhi sat down and sneered in his heart. Then he opened the letter, took a deep breath and read it carefully...
"Beast!" She whispered, her brows knitted tightly.
Huo Du turned his head and set his eyes on her gloomy cheeks. It happened that Le Zhi also raised her eyes and turned around. She was entangled in her heart, and after thinking about it, she still said to Huo Du: "It's Shen Qingyan's letter, and what she said that day at Fuxi An was not everything. But in this letter, she will Everything was written down. It turned out that after she married Huo Xu, she lived like this... "
The fingertips tightened suddenly, and the thin letter paper was crumpled—
Cursing, cold words, abuse in matters of husband and wife, pinching... Le Zhi couldn't even think about how much Shen Qingyan suffered.
"Have you figured it out?" Huo Du took her hand and patiently pulled her stiff fingers into his palm. Then he took out the letter, glanced down and asked, "Do you really want to help her?"
"Well..." Le Zhi nodded, but there was some hesitation in his expression, "but I'm worried, in case..."
"In case she turns her face and refuses to recognize the person after the incident, and does not honor the terms of her promise to you; in case you help her, but she changes her mind halfway, and tells Huo Xu everything; Yan deliberately tested you in order to help Huo Xu."
"How, how..." Le Zhi was stunned, too shocked to speak.
—Is he the roundworm in her stomach? Why does he know everything she thinks
If everything in the letter is true, she really wants to help Shen Qingyan. But what if Shen Qingyan really chose to help Huo Du unconditionally after going through all this? She really couldn't believe it... She couldn't ruin her own deployment just because she was careless, maybe it would also affect Huo Du.
"Help me if you want." Huo Du smiled and took a piece of candied fruit and brought it to her lips.
Le Zhi bowed his head and took the candied fruit into his mouth. His casual tone reassured her a lot. She bent her lips, blinked again, and asked, "What if it's really a game?"
Huo Du glanced at her with cold eyes, but said nothing.
"Okay." Le Zhi pursed his lips, and said in a humming voice, "If it affects His Highness then, don't blame me..."
"Don't worry." Huo Du said in a flat tone, "It won't affect me."
Hearing this, Le Zhi pulled the letter on the table, stood up angrily, and turned to leave. But the wrist was tugged, so she had to turn her head and meet those peach blossom eyes with great interest.
"What a big temper." Huo Du tutted softly, and with a knife in his hand, pulled the man to his knees and wrapped it around him.
Le Zhi was frightened by his actions—
His legs have just been bandaged, are you crazy
She took care of his injured leg and only sat on one of his legs. In order to support her body, her hands had to wrap around his shoulders.
"You have to ask for it knowingly, right?"
In fact, Le Zhi expected that he would help her, so she felt more confident when she heard this, so she snorted softly.
"Lezhi." Huo Du put his hands around her waist, pinched her waist casually, and asked, "Does it feel good to be able to make an inch?"
Le Zhi raised his face, bent his eyes, and responded, "How can this be considered an inch?"
"Oh?" Huo Du laughed, "Then talk about it, how does it count?"
Le Zhi blinked, as if he was really thinking about it. After a while, she raised her hand to pick up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Today, in order to cover her sick face, she rarely used some lip gloss.
- The cherry-colored lip print is left on the rim of the cup, and the color is unusual.
She deliberately handed the teacup to Huo Du's lips, her eyes moving slightly.
Huo Du raised the corners of his lips, knowing his intentions, leaned against the rim of the cup, and drank the rest of the hot tea. Le Zhi looked at the disappearing lip print on the cup, her cheeks were hot, she put the tea cup back on the table, and looked at Huo Du again, "Is the tea sweet?"
He fixed her somewhat wet lips and said solemnly: "The mouth is sweeter."
Le Zhi was startled, she finally understood one thing.
To win over Huo Du in words is simply harder than reaching the sky!
After a pause, she smiled carelessly, leaned over to his ear, and said softly, "I want to find a safe place to meet Shen Qingyan, brother, help me?"
After she finished speaking, she backed away and looked at him with her eyes hooked.
That's what it's called.
The bright sun shines on Le Zhi's face, making the red at the end of her eyes extraordinarily bright. She smiled at him with the corners of her lips bent, a smile that was both well-behaved and cunning.
Huo Du raised his hand and moved up along her waistline, stopping when he touched the butterfly bone on her back. He made her whole body stick to him with a little force, and then said hello willingly.
— She softened her voice and called her brother with a sweet breath. Don't say do me a favor, even if he is asked to pick stars, he will not refuse.
The silhouettes of the embracing figures were elongated under the warm sun, and the curvature of the corners of their mouths became larger and larger.
When Shen Qingyan woke up from the nap, she saw a note on the small table beside the bed. She reached out and took it suspiciously, and when she saw the content on the paper, a look of surprise appeared on her face...
Until the moon rose and sunset, the house became quiet a little bit, and even Lu Ying went to rest. She followed the instructions on the paper, quietly walked out of the bedroom, and closed the door gently.
She hurriedly walked towards the backyard, and soon came to the corner of the dry well mentioned in the letter. She went around to the left rear of the dry well and squatted down, reached out to touch a raised mechanism, and pressed it down—
The sediment in the dry well sank instantly, revealing a long dark passage to...
Shen Qingyan was shocked, but in just a moment, she walked in with a deep breath.
There was only a faint light in the dark passage, and after walking for a while, Shen Qingyan walked into a bright dark room. And Le Zhi was sitting in the dark room waiting for her.
No matter how surprised Rao was, Shen Qingyan still maintained her daughter's self-control and bowed respectfully to Lezhi.
"No need to be polite, sit down."
In fact, when Le Zhi first learned about this secret path, he was no less surprised than Shen Qingyan.
She could never have imagined that Huo Du had dug out even the secret passage leading to Huo Xu's mansion... Is there any place he can't go to in this great place
"Many thanks, Crown Princess." Shen Qingyan sat down according to her words, and said directly, "Prince Princess should have read my letter. Since you are willing to come to see me, does that mean..."
"I can help you." They didn't have much time to greet each other, not to mention that they were not close friends at first, so Lezhi also explained his intentions directly.
Shen Qingyan was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect her to be so refreshing.
"Thank you." She nodded slightly, and then said again: "Then how can I help you? How about I ask my father to help you leave Daqi?"
Hearing this, Le Zhi shook his head and refused, "I will not leave Daqi."
"Then..." Shen Qingyan was puzzled.
"If you really want to help me, you might as well do something else." Le Zhi smiled and said, "I hope you can convince your father to let Shen Xiang help the crown prince to successfully inherit the throne."
After hearing this, Shen Qingyan didn't seem too surprised. She had already thought a lot when she was in the secret passage just now. With Lezhi's ability, how could she have created such a long secret passage in these days when she first arrived in Daqi. Also, he was able to put eyeliner in Huo Xu's house and silently send the note into her bedroom.
As expected, she has long chosen to stand on the side of the prince.
It seemed that the most ridiculous thing was Huo Xu, who foolishly thought that his childhood sweetheart would always be on his side.
"I can't promise you about this. My father's behavior is to be a wise man. When I chose Huo Xu, he was deceived by his warm, kind and wise appearance. He would not choose anyone for his own selfishness." Shen Qingyan said sternly, "I won't beat around the bush, His Royal Highness has a bad reputation outside..."
Le Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, if Shen Qingyan agreed to her easily, she would be suspicious. Such a reaction is normal.
"Even if you don't help the crown prince, it's fine. However, Shen Xiang needs to stumble Huo Xu more in the courtroom. It shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Shen Qingyan nodded.
- After these days, she also saw clearly that Huo Xu was definitely not a Ming Jun. Even if the father does not assist the prince, he will never help such a despicable person to ascend to the throne.
"Everyone in the world is deceived by appearances, and my relatives and I were once too. Isn't the warm appearance we may see wearing a false coat? There are some people, although they have a bad reputation, they are not misunderstood by others. I don't want to argue." Le Zhi sighed in her heart. After so many things, she really realized that when it comes to getting along with people, it's not enough to see with your eyes, you need to pay attention to it.
Shen Qingyan smiled wryly, she didn't make herself embarrassed to see a person clearly.
"It's getting late today, go back and rest. I'll pass the news to you as I did today. If you have anything to do with me, I'll pass the message to Deshun, who works in the pantry in your house. Don't worry, I'll help you get out of this place as soon as possible."
"Okay." Shen Qingyan's eyes were slightly red, she stood up and choked: "Thank you."
She seemed to have nothing but to thank.
Le Zhi also stood up, shook her hand, and said, "It will get better."
It will be fine.
— She had said this to herself over and over again on countless nights where her heart was suffocating. Now, she sent this sentence to Shen Qingyan, hoping that she could survive it strong.
Shen Qingyan nodded gratefully, turned around as if she had remembered something, and asked, "I believe what you said will also make father see clearly what kind of person His Royal Highness is."
After a pause, she asked hesitantly: "Forgive my remarks, I have a question. Are you helping the prince now just because you think his character is worthy of a wise man, or because... you like him? "
Ever since Yu Xian was rejected by His Royal Highness, he has locked himself in the house all day without seeing anyone. Shen Qingyan was very worried, why didn't she hope that her friend could find a good match and not make the wrong payment like her.
But today it seems that the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess is not just a simple marriage
"I..." Le Zhi was stopped by this sudden question, and stayed in place for a while, speechless.
"I see." Shen Qingyan smiled, raised her foot slightly behind her back and left.
Le Zhi sat down annoyed.
Why did you ask her such a question all of a sudden
How did she know, what did she know
"So, do you like it?"
When the familiar voice came to her ears, Le Zhi raised her eyes in amazement, watching Huo Du push the wheelchair out of the shadows, her eyes blazing at her.
