Opening the door, she walked out. At the other end of the corridor, a purple-clothed figure stood quietly. She suddenly raised her head and ran into the man's deep, dark eyes.
Her breath froze, and the misty morning light turned against her, making it difficult to see the person's appearance. She could only see a pair of eyes in the shadow, as bright as stars.
In a daze, she told herself that it was an illusion and that she had recognized the wrong person.
Pursing her lips, she turned and left.
"Mo Shuang!"
A low cry came from behind, the voice was hoarse and tired, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Her heart trembled, and she paused.
It's really him!
He actually came to Meng Zhao too!
Did you find the beads stolen and come looking for them
I can't describe the feeling in my heart. It's very strange. I feel guilty, angry, disappointed, and also a little surprised.
After closing her eyes and adjusting her mood, she turned back and looked at him without saying a word.
In fact, she didn't know what to say.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The man curled his lips, as if he didn't know what to say.
"how long?"
She regretted it as soon as the words came out of her mouth. She should have ignored him, right
The man smiled silently, but his dark eyes became brighter and sparkling.
Actually, it’s not that long.
Just one night!
However, he didn't want to tell her, just as he wouldn't tell her everything he had done for her.
He had long known that her appearance had a purpose, but he told himself that he would never ask.
In Yaohua Palace, she hid the map in her sleeve and he didn't ask.
That night, she deliberately seduced and used the pleasure and love between the two of them to make him faint, but he didn't ask.
The next morning, he noticed strange fine mud in his nails, but he didn't ask.
On the day of the sacrifice, she suddenly lied about feeling uncomfortable, but he still didn't ask.
Later, when she appeared in the imperial mausoleum, he asked for the first time. He had no choice but to ask. He asked her against his will, and it hurt her and him even more.
He asked her if he could only do it with her, and would he be content with other women
He said she was a jealous woman!
He knew he had hurt her!
But, he had to hurt her.
Although, from the beginning, he knew that she must have a plan, he did not know what it was until that night, when she proposed to sacrifice the ancestors of Shiyi's children, he suspected that her target was the resident in the imperial mausoleum. Yanzhu.
Later, after a night of lingering, the fine mud in his fingernails, the restlessness on the way to the sacrifice, and the sudden discomfort before the sacrifice began, he confirmed his guess.
He was thinking at the time, in fact, why bother to be so deliberate? As long as she directly said she wanted it, he would give it to her, even if it was something his ancestors had in his mouth.
For her sake, why not be an unfilial son for once!
However, she didn't speak.
In the side room of the palace, seeing her pretending to be uncomfortable, he almost brought it up himself, but in the end he still held it back. He didn't want her to feel guilty or shameless, so maybe it was best to pretend that she didn't know what to do. of.
"Is Qin Zhaoyi awake?"
The woman spoke suddenly, pulling him back from his thoughts.
He was stunned for a moment before he realized what she asked and nodded, "Yeah!"
A hint of bitterness flashed across his eyes, and Zizhuo smiled softly, "That's good!"
I think so, otherwise, he wouldn't have the intention to be here, right
"Does the Emperor have a problem with me?" She stared at him, trying her best to look calm. However, seeing his eyes fixed on her face, she felt guilty again and hurriedly looked away.
"What do you want beads for?"
Leng Qisu pursed his lips and finally asked.
Yes, he came here just for this matter. All the time, he only wanted to avoid asking questions and only wanted to fulfill her, but he actually forgot the most important thing.
What is she going to do with the beads
Because Zhuyan Pearl has a strong preservation effect on corpses, but it is highly toxic to dead people, but to living people.
He was worried, so he came.
Zizhuo's heart stopped for a beat, and she turned her eyes in shock to meet his eyes.
It turned out that he really knew.
Curving her lips, she smiled softly, "The Emperor is here to arrest me?"
Hearing this, Leng Qisu also smiled, showing helplessness and a hint of sarcasm, "Why wait until now to arrest you?"
Zizhuo was startled, not quite understanding what he said. After a moment of silence, he said: "Yes, I took the beads. As for what I did with the beads, it has nothing to do with the emperor. If the emperor wants to take me back or kill me, I have no complaints, but I will never return the beads to the emperor."
She couldn't say it was to save Chu Xunmo, because except for her, Lu Ping and Chu Xunmo's eldest brother Chu Xunyang, no one knew about it. Not even Meng Zhao's civil and military officials knew about it. Besides, if this man knew it was For the sake of Meng Zhao's monarch, it is very likely that he will fight with Meng Zhao.
She didn't want to see any of this.
"So important?" Leng Qisu slowly narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a moment.
"Yes! It's very important!"
"More important than your life?"
"Yes! More important than my life."
Leng Qisu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at her quietly for a while, then turned to look at the sky in the distance. It was already bright.
