In the largest restaurant in Xijiang, there are usually no empty seats, but now it closes the door early, and the well-informed people are silent, but the ordinary people's houses are only used for talking after dinner.

In the private room of the Tianzi Hall in Linglong Pavilion, Zhu Lu's knees were hurting, his complexion was slightly gloomy, but he stubbornly held back the resentment in his heart, not daring to show it.

The maid came in and changed two ice basins, and the scent of a woman was so charming and sweet that it was very sweet.

Huo Qiu sat on the grand teacher's chair, closed his eyes and said nothing, only the movement of stroking his sleeves revealed the turmoil in his heart.

She was too intelligent, more perceptive than he could have imagined.

Standing beside him was Tang Zhuozhuo, petite and exquisite, his vermilion lips opened and closed with sharp words that approached Zhu Lu: "I have always been suspicious, and today I happened to talk about it in front of His Highness."

After Zhu Lu heard this, he only wanted to scold others. If he had always dared not point at her and scold her, he would never give him a good face. But now, how dare he kneel in front of the prince

Tang Zhuozhuo had already figured out that he had some fears in his heart, and he had the upper hand from the very beginning.

Zhu Lu rationally told himself that he should admit his mistake at this time and let go of it was just a joke, but he didn't allow it in his heart.

Obviously Tang Zhuozhuo betrayed Wang Yi, but now she is qualified to stand here and speak plausibly, does she still have some conscience

But when he saw Huo Qiu who was sitting calmly, he had no choice but to take a deep breath.

That's right, married into the royal family, how can there be any conscience at all

What's more, the one who married was the most scheming and most heartless.

In fact, Tang Zhuozhuo was also a little bit drummed. He regretted the flamboyant words earlier, but the water that he couldn't take back when he said it, really reminded him of many things in his previous life, and he couldn't control himself for a while.

She shouldn't have come out.

After all, it was too deeply influenced by the previous life.

Zhu Lu finally opened his mouth with difficulty, lowering his eyes and saying word by word: "Your Majesty's words are serious, and my young and ignorant minister contradicted me..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Zhuozhuo stopped him with a tender finger. The woman's body was slender, and the begonia-colored skirt was extremely gentle, making her even more charming. She lowered her head and fiddled with the agate bracelet in her hand, which made a slight crisp sound, which was incompatible with the atmosphere at this time.

There seemed to be a layer of fog in front of her curly eyelashes, impatient to listen to such official words, she couldn't be more clear about what Zhu Lu was thinking, and coincidentally, she really wanted to talk about it today.

"You don't need to say anything, I won't use my status as a princess to pressure you today. Let's discuss the matter. After all, everyone in the capital knows that I, Tang Zhuozhuo, have a bad temper that can't be wronged."

Zhu Lu raised his head in surprise, and caught a glimpse of Huo Qiu still looking the same, he didn't even open his eyes, and there was no slight fluctuation on his face.

Tang Zhuozhuo walked to the window, his expression was gloomy, and he said with a light snort, "You just think that I seduced His Highness and put Wang Yi in the center of embarrassment."

"Marriage, parents' order, matchmaker's words, neither his general's mansion nor my Tang family have ever said such a thing, but I am grateful for his life-saving grace and met a few times at the tea party to enjoy the flowers. That's all. Has the private life in your eyes been fixed for life?"

Zhu Lu frowned fiercely, and opened his mouth to explain, but found that it was indeed as she said.

Tang Zhuozhuo came from a famous family, no matter what he did, he couldn't make a tryst with a man, even if he met Wang Yi, it was only when the general's mansion held a banquet, and there were also young ladies and wives around him.

Tang Zhuozhuo wiped the dust on his hands with the handkerchief. Seeing that Zhu Lu had nothing to say, the corner of his eye twitched and he continued: "The Tang family is not a person who does not repay their kindness. In order to repay his kindness for saving me from falling into the water, My father personally taught him how to set up a martial arts formation, and my second brother blocked the knife when the bandits were in trouble, and even my Tang family secretly helped him when he finally asked to marry the second daughter of the Marquis of Ningyuan, how could he be sorry for him, Wang Yi?"

Otherwise, in a run-down general's mansion, how could the more than one hundred dowry be paid for

Tang Zhuozhao was so angry that his eyes were sharp. He walked up to Zhu Lu and said, "On the contrary, he has been spreading rumors to ruin my reputation and put himself in the position of an infatuated person. Arrange people into the East Palace and tell me some things to provoke the relationship between me and His Highness."

"He wants me to have a bad life so he can be comfortable?"

Not only that, in the previous life, he even tried his best to hide from her by sending a maid to tell her how Huo Qiu made things difficult for him, and deliberately made her feel guilty and stubborn to keep herself in the cold palace.

What does it feel like to die? Even though he is clearly full of medical skills, he can still toss himself vigorously. The only way to get rid of that feeling is to die.

This last sentence, Tang Zhuozhuo said very seriously, but there was still an extremely frivolous smile on his face.

Zhu Lu's eyelids twitched violently, these... Wang Yi never told him.

Tired of talking, Tang Zhuozhuo clapped his hands and returned to Huo Qiu's side. The man had already opened his eyes at this moment, and he didn't know what kind of deep emotion was hidden in his eyes, which was very suppressed.

Zhu Lu opened his mouth with difficulty, and he couldn't hear what his own voice was saying.

"The minister and Wang Yi definitely never thought about it this way, your empress calm down."

After Tang Zhuozhuo finished speaking, he seemed a little tired, sat on the soft stool, rubbed his forehead and said softly, "Your Highness, my concubine lost her composure."

Huo Qiu raised his chin slightly, and for the first time looked squarely at the prince of Nanping who was kneeling on the ground and never got up before. After a few glances, he smiled contemptuously, and then said to Tang Zhuozhuo: "Gu ask someone to take you back."

He didn't want her to see what happened next.

Tang Zhuozhuo looked at him with almond eyes for a moment, squeezed his handkerchief and said hello slowly, then straightened his dress and was invited into the carriage by Li Desheng.

She lifted the curtain on the carriage with her bare hands, looked at the three big characters on the restaurant and became absorbed, then slowly turned her eyes away.

Linglong Pavilion, there was also one in the capital of the previous life, which belonged to Huo Qiu.

Linglong dice An Hongdou, lovesickness deep in the bones.

It took her two lifetimes to understand his thoughts.

An Xia didn't know what was going on inside, but when he talked about Zhou Jian with a fat head and a fat face, he was full of anger, "Mother, I must not forgive that person lightly, and I don't even look at what virtue I have, and I dare to covet him." The empress is beautiful!"

Tang Zhuozhuo pursed her lips and smiled softly, her expression was both lazy and charming, but her heart was in a mess, the wind outside brought heat waves to her face, and when she closed her eyes, all she could think about was what she said to Zhu just now. What Lu said.

If she did it all over again, she might not have the guts to say those words.

After returning to the Youqu Pavilion, Tang Zhuozhuo nestled down on the beauty's couch, and the faint cool air lingered around her after she calmed down, and the wafting fragrance made her brain ache.

"Take down the censer." Tang Zhuozhao waved his hand and hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of lunch.

An Xia and Zi Huan were a little worried. After looking at each other, they lowered the bed curtains layer by layer, and walked out lightly.

"What do you think is wrong with your mother? Could it be that you were pissed off by that apprentice?"

Zihuan shook her head, frowned and said: "Your Majesty is not the kind of person who can be easily pissed off, but I don't know for sure. I will go to the small kitchen and order to cook some things that I like. My wife must be hungry when I wake up."

Tang Zhuozhuo fell asleep slowly, and the scene in the dream was very clear. Wang Yi was not willing to be arranged to guard the mausoleum for a long time. Over time, he and other generals became rebellious. When the banquet was the coldest, they became king and declared war on the court.

At the beginning of spring, he was finally captured by Tang Zhuozhuo's elder brother Tang Su and returned to the court.

Huo Qiu wore a bright yellow dragon robe, dignified and dignified, and walked up to Wang Yi in a noble suit. The latter laughed wildly, knowing that his fate was not long, and wanted to stimulate the emperor in front of him.

He looked ferocious like a ghost, with a terrifying expression, and said to Huo Qiu, "Didn't you just do everything possible to force me? Now my rebellion is fulfilling your wish?"

Huo Qiu's expression remained unchanged, even his eyes did not fluctuate, which aroused Wang Yi even more, he raised his head and laughed wildly: "Your Majesty is for that woman Tang Zhuozhao?"

Huo Qiu finally spoke out, extremely indifferent: "She is my queen."

Wang Yi laughed so hard that he spat out a mouthful of blood, and said: "Everyone is dead, why should your majesty be so concerned?"

"Hahaha! Your Majesty probably doesn't know yet? That bitch is very skilled in medicine, how could he die of illness?!"

"Since I'm going to die, why don't you tell Your Majesty some old things. You rescued Tang Zhuozhuo from falling into the water that year, right? It's a pity that I was taken away by the minister. The Tang family is very grateful to me."

"Oh, including later, I bribed the servant girl to tell her that Wang Yi has not married yet, and told her that it was Your Majesty who sent someone to cut off the arm of her third brother. That woman values affection the most, and it is even more impossible for her to have any affection for Your Majesty." You look good!"

Wang Yi was extremely proud, and he was very happy to see the expression of the Nine-Five Lord, who used to be aloof, break down.

Huo Qiu was really furious, but Wang Yi held his head up and spit blood and continued, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the time Tang Zhuozhuo argued with you before entering the cold palace? Before that, she sent someone to tell me that the Tang family could help me." Marry a wife, she's already married, don't contact me any more in the future."

Huo Qiu's eyes turned red, and he lifted Wang Yi up by the collar, gritting his teeth word by word: "You, what, what?!"

The picture stopped abruptly, like glass exploding in front of Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes. She clutched her chest and woke up in shock. When she got up, she silently wiped the crystals from the corners of her eyes.

This dream was too real, Tang Zhuozhuo stroked the frame on the window sill in a daze, the clouds in the sky were like silk, but her tears fell one by one, and she couldn't stop it no matter what.

How strange, she thought, that it was only a dream, and that sadness could be so real.

And this afternoon, Zhu Lu didn't have a good time, he didn't come out of the private room until 10:00 at sunset, he was no longer as calm and composed as when he entered, even his footsteps were a little vain.

Huo Qiu's face was also as cold as ice, Li Desheng hurried forward and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has returned to Youqu Pavilion, Master Mu, the governor of Xijiang County, is waiting outside with the young master of the Zhou family, Your Highness wants to pass it in?"

Huo Qiu glanced coldly, his footsteps seemed a little anxious, and said: "Tell him, I'm waiting for the King of Nanping to come in person."

It's just a Zhou family, and it's not interesting to see him.

Li Desheng understood it, and sent someone back to the sheriff, and when he turned around, he saw only a piece of the master's clothes, he hurriedly followed, and heard Huo Qiu say: "Go back to the other courtyard."

Li Desheng couldn't come back to his senses, so... the master didn't care about all these things

The Crown Princess has too much influence on the master.

Tang Zhuozhao originally expected that Huo Qiu would not come back tonight, and he was extremely perfunctory with the dinner, he took a few mouthfuls of egg custard and put it on the spoon, it is extremely rare to be sullen.

This is what Huo Qiu saw when he arrived at Youqu Pavilion.

The little woman rested her chin on her hands, staring at a place in a daze, and took a long time to take another spoonful of custard and swallowed it. The sound of the spoon colliding with the bowl was very clear.

He stood there for a while, until Tang Zhuozhuo looked over and said, "Don't you have a good meal?"

Tang Zhuozhuo blinked, Huo Qiu in her previous life overlapped with her current appearance, she wanted to speak, but she found her voice was hoarse when she uttered a word, so she grabbed her sleeves to keep silent, tears fell silently.

The serving maids retreated a long time ago, Huo Qiu sighed lowly, walked over to straighten her face and wiped away the tears one by one, with a gentle tone: "Didn't you just ask you to show off your prestige today? Why did you do this?" Do you still feel wronged?"

Tang Zhuozhuo wiped his tears all over his clothes, showing a delicate appearance: "I just feel uncomfortable, and my heart hurts from anger."

Huo Qiu stroked her soft and black hair with a big palm, his voice was a little tense and hoarse: "Is what Jiaojiao said today serious?"

Tang Zhuozhuo didn't understand what it meant, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Huo Qiu took a breath from the bottom of his heart, his eyes were as deep as two ancient wells, but the beating sound in his blood was getting stronger and stronger.

"You used to..." He paused, then slowly closed his eyes and said, "The love for Wang Yi is all because he saved you when you fell into the water?"

Tang Zhuozhao felt that his body was terribly stiff, and wanted to look back at his expression, but his hands firmly held his shoulders, so he nodded and hummed in a low voice.

At that time, her clothes were all soaked, how important is the reputation of her daughter's family? What's more, Wang Yi was also born well, which made her fall in love with him blindly.

The man's body completely relaxed with this sound, and he gave a low and low laugh, the meaning was unclear, but Tang Zhuozhuo clearly felt a hint of gnashing of teeth.

At this moment, Huo Qiu was so angry that his heart ached, and even his eyes felt a little sore.

This little thing looked smarter than anyone in the past, why was he so stupid then

After going around for so long, he lost to his substitute
