She fell into a chair, unable to move or say a word.
Dongfangze!
It's him!
How could it be him? !
No, in fact, she should have thought of it a long time ago. He went through all the trouble to deliver the "black pearl", so how could he not see her reaction with his own eyes
She made a mistake in her practice, and he was nervous and scared, fearing that something might happen to her...
She almost went crazy, he quietly rescued her, and then secretly hid...
She has lost her appetite, and as the king of a country, he cooks it himself!
There was thunder and lightning, and he couldn't sleep at night, silently watching outside her window...
In all of this, besides him... who else could there be
In this world, there is only one man who knows everything about her preferences
! There is only one man who would go to all the trouble to come here to approach her and test her!
Xiang Li is right, he is really crazy! Not only was he crazy, he was getting crazier and crazier. He was so crazy that he didn't look like the Dongfang Ze she knew!
"Where did the real Xia Fu'an go?" She tried her best to calm down her emotions and let herself ask some questions that she should be concerned about.
Dongfangze said calmly: "It was placed in a very safe place."
Su Li stared at him, speechless.
"Do you know what you are doing?" After a long silence, she said this, her voice trembling slightly. Last time, she had tried her best to send him away from this place, but he tried his best to sneak in here. She wanted to forget him and bury everything between her and him, but he didn't give her the time or chance!
Dongfangze sighed softly: "I didn't expect you to see through it so quickly. It shows how superb the disguise is. No matter how the voice or identity changes, as long as the person is still the same person, he can always feel that he cares about her!"
He made a pun, and she naturally understood it. Her heart felt suffocated, and she felt that this thing was indeed wonderful. Even though the face she saw, the voice she heard, and the breath she smelled were completely different from those in the past, she couldn't help but think of him every time she faced him. It turned out that He...it's just him!
As the king of a country, for a woman who could never change his mind, he actually deigned to become a housekeeper in a foreign martial arts sect. This is simply unbelievable!
Su Li closed her eyes slightly, trying her best to calm down the turbulent emotions in her heart, but the hands in her sleeves clenched tighter and tighter, "I don't understand what you said!"
"I want to take you back." He held her hand calmly and firmly, locking his eyes tightly with hers.
Anger surged into his heart instantly, but Su Li couldn't help laughing: "I'm not the person you're looking for! You're so persistent, and you're not afraid of the ridicule of the world?"
"I, Dongfang Ze, never care about other people's opinions when I act! From the beginning to the end, all I care about is you! Don't you understand yet?" He held her hand tightly, even though he was sad, even though he was laughing at himself, but at that moment The aura he exuded was so powerful that it was heartbreaking. However, when he said the last sentence, the tenderness in his eyes was like a thousand threads of love, binding her tightly, leaving her unable to resist and nowhere to hide.
Su Li's heart was shocked, as if she had been run over by a steel needle, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't help it.
. His temperature on her fingers was as cold as water, and it was no longer as warm as before. She took a slight breath, withdrew her hand forcefully, stood up and turned away, "I don't know what you are talking about!"
Even now, she still refuses to admit it! Dongfang Ze's eyes dimmed and he eagerly wrapped his arms around her body again. She unexpectedly did not refuse, but just looked at him coldly, as if looking at a stranger.
Looking into her cold eyes, his heart ached. During the time he came to the Saintess Cult, he dressed up as Xia Fu'an and guarded her every day. Every detail of her daily life told him that she was Su Li! Hu Erdu went to Sheng State to say that she was an acquaintance and tried every means to investigate her life experience. Now that she has come to Bian State, Yang Zhen has a niece. All this cannot be a coincidence!
And Yang Xiao's attitude towards her, Yang Zhen calling her Ah Li...
Dongfangze closed his eyes gently. He really hoped that she would admit that she was Su Li and that she was still alive. However, looking at the slender figure and cold eyes of the woman in front of him, all the words in his heart were stuck in his throat. Can't spit it out either.
"Let's eat, the food is cold." After a long silence, he finally let her go and sat her down on the chair. He only said this lightly, as if nothing had happened.
Su Li was stunned. She clearly saw the turbulent emotions in his eyes just now. He seemed to have a lot to say, but in the blink of an eye, he only said this? I think he tried his best to lurk next to her and approached her many times to test her. It's impossible that he didn't see some clues, but why didn't he use them to question her? Instead, he let her go so easily!
Su Li was slightly surprised, a little confused, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, watching him serve her rice and dishes with his own hands. She didn't know he was Dongfang Ze before, but now she knew, and seeing him behave like this, she felt a lot of emotions in her heart. Indescribable.
Why could the king of a country stoop so low
Dongfangze handed the bowl and chopsticks to her hands, with an unusually gentle look on his face, and said with a smile: "I have only cooked for two women in my life, so don't waste it."
Su Li's eyes suddenly became hot, and many past events suddenly came to mind, making it difficult to control. The better it was in the past, the more unbearable it is now when I think about it. Su Li's fingers clenching the silver chopsticks couldn't stop trembling. His breath was lingering around her, and all the memories she recalled in her mind were sweet and painful, tearing at her nerves. The feeling of suffocation made her feel Out of breath. Looking into his eyes, her vision suddenly blurred. She quickly put down the bowl, stood up and wanted to run away.
Before I even took two steps, I was suddenly hugged tightly by him.
. As soon as she struggled, she felt wetness coming from his left shoulder, and a faint smell of blood floated in the air. Her breathing suddenly became stagnant, and her whole body became a little stiff.
"Do you remember what day it is today?" He suddenly asked in her ear.
Since she left Shengguo, she no longer had any expectations or enthusiasm for life, and she was not very interested in life. When he suddenly asked her, she was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that today was the fifth day of August!
This day a year ago was his birthday. It was the first time she accompanied him to pay homage to Concubine Liang in the Imperial Mausoleum of Sheng Kingdom, the first time she tasted the cakes he made by himself, the first time she fell into his tender and sweet kiss, and it was also the first time... she clearly realized that she Really like him.
Time will never stop for anyone. In the blink of an eye, it has been a year. The sweet heartbeat and hazy expectations are as clear as yesterday. However, in the blink of an eye, she and him have changed forever and can never go back to the past.
Su Li closed her eyes sadly, and his voice came to her ears again: "I want to ask you for a gift."
Gift? Su Li's heart trembled slightly, and she unconsciously remembered that kiss. Before she could refuse, he had already turned her around, quickly lowered his head and covered her lips...
His speed was so fast that she had no time to react. All her breaths were filled with his familiar breath, and Su Li felt that her mind suddenly went blank. The tender memories of the past were like a flood that burst a dam, completely submerging her. She remembered that night a year ago, when the stars fell like rain and the night wind was like drunkenness. He and she kissed passionately under the moon, intoxicated in each other's breath, and experienced the deepest throbbing in their hearts that the other party brought to them! The fragrance of the surrounding vegetation turns that moment into eternity.
He once said that it was the best gift he had ever received...
"What...are you doing?!" Suddenly, a shocked shout came from outside the door. Yang Xiao stood at the door with his eyes wide open, looking at the man and woman embracing each other intimately, speechless.
Su Li was shocked, and all the memories receded from her mind in an instant. Her whole body was cold, she grabbed his lips, bit them, and pushed him away violently.
The salty blood spread in her entrance, making her tremble with anger, but he looked at her eyes with unspeakable fright and anger, and couldn't help but smile softly.
Yang Xiao's eyes were horrifyingly gloomy, and his whole body was exuding cold murderous intent. His fingers were like hooks, clawing straight at his throat.
Su Li couldn't help being startled. Seeing the cold light flashing in Dongfang Ze's eyes, Yang Xiao's hand was almost in front of him, but he refused to dodge. Su Li stretched out his hand to pull Yang Xiao away and slapped him hard with his palm. On Dongfangze's face
!
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and several people inside and outside the room were all stunned.
Dongfang Ze slowly raised his head, and the red marks on his fingers were clearly visible. He didn't even frown, he just looked at her blankly, his eyes were sad and difficult to distinguish, and he didn't say anything.
The king of a country could be slapped in the face. I am afraid he has never thought about it since he was a child! Su Li frowned secretly, feeling a numb pain in his palm, and yelled at him: "You are so brave, how dare you offend me! Come here!"
Wan Xin came forward immediately, "My subordinate is here."
"Xia Fu'an is audacious and has no master. He is immediately taken to the darkroom and awaits punishment! No one is allowed to get close to him without my order!" After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and turned away with a puff of sleeves. My chest was rising and falling violently, and I couldn't control myself. For some reason, she remembered the time when she was ordered to be imprisoned in the Forbidden Garden by Dongfang Ze, and suddenly felt that maybe that day and this day were strangely similar to some extent.
"Manager Xia, please." Wan Xin looked at him calmly, her tone still somewhat polite.
Dongfangze didn't speak and left the room in silence. Before going out, he took a deep look at the back she left behind with a faint bitter smile and self-deprecation at the corner of his mouth.
Silence returned to the house. The moonlight and candle shadows could not be distinguished inside and outside the windows, and not a single sound could be heard from the surroundings. I don't know how long it took before Su Li regained some composure. When she turned around, she saw Yang Xiao staring steadily in the direction Dongfang Ze was leaving, with a suspicious look in his eyes, as if he was thinking.
Su Li asked: "What are you looking at?"
Yang Xiao's eyes flickered, he turned around and smiled suddenly at her: "Have you ever felt that his back looks like the same person?"
Su Li was startled and looked up at him. Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes. His expression didn't seem too serious, but she clearly felt that he was extremely serious at the moment. The prying eyes seemed to want to see through her. Su Li couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat, but she just said calmly: "Really? Xia Fu'an is Xia Fu'an, who else can he look like?"
"Don't you see?" Yang Xiao turned his head to look at her, obviously not believing it, and smiled again: "With your current martial arts, it is difficult for even me to take advantage of you. If you don't regard him as another person, I I don’t believe he can get close to you!”
Su Li was slightly startled and said nothing. A gust of wind blew outside the window, and the candlelight flickered in front of her. The light reflected in her eyes flickered on and off.
.
Yang Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "You're not going to fall in love with that guy just because he has a similar back, are you? Are you so anxious to shut him down, are you worried that I will be detrimental to him?"
He suddenly came closer, and his handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes.
Su Li raised her head and looked at him coldly. She seemed to be very calm, and there was no other emotion in her eyes except indifference, but Yang Xiao felt that she was not calm in her heart. He suddenly smiled and said: "It's just that the backs are similar, so you treat him differently. Then I'll find someone to make a human skin mask based on his face, and wear it in front of your eyes every day. Then will you want to marry me?" ?”
Su Li didn't know whether he said this intentionally or unintentionally, but her eyes turned colder as she looked at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? If I want to marry him, why do I have to go through all the trouble to come to Bian Country?! "
Yang Xiao's face was smiling, but his heart sank. After all, Dongfangze was still her taboo. She couldn't touch or talk about it. He sighed secretly, turned his eyes, and shouted with a grin: "I'm joking with you, do you take it seriously?" !”
Su Li had a sullen face and said nothing. Yang Xiao pulled her to sit at the table, glanced at the cold food on the table, his eyes flashed, and he smiled at her: "Come on, come on, come and eat with me, I'm starving." After that, he went Get the bowls and chopsticks.
Su Li's face changed slightly, and she quickly stopped her: "I'll ask the kitchen to make new ones for you. These are already cold." After that, he called Mo Xiang and removed the food.
Yang Xiao quickly stopped and said, "No, these look delicious. I ate cold rice and cold dishes when I was helping my father review memorials in the palace. What are these? This is what I will eat."
Su Li secretly exclaimed that this was not good, Dongfangze cooked all this himself. Yang Xiao had stayed in Shengguo for a while, and if he really ate it, he would definitely taste that this was an authentic Shengguo dish. How could it be that the people of Bianguo had become famous in a short period of time? Can you succeed
Seeing him taking the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, her eyes darkened, and she stood up and said, "Then you can eat slowly. No matter how delicious the cold food is, I'm not interested." After that, she walked away.
Yang Xiao's face suddenly fell. He quickly put down his chopsticks and grabbed her and said, "No, don't leave. If you leave, there's no point in eating alone... Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Come on, this table The dishes were removed and redone.”
Half an hour later, a table of new meals was put on the table, steaming hot, and Yang Xiao helped her put the rice and vegetables on it. Su Li didn't have much appetite, but she had to force herself to eat some. Yang Xiao had repeatedly said that he was starving, but he didn't eat more than her.
That night, he pulled Su Li and talked and laughed. He never mentioned the unpleasantness during the day. He also pretended that the scene he saw at night had never happened.
.
He kept talking, regardless of whether she responded or not, he just kept making her happy, seeming to occupy her thoughts, so that at least at this moment she only had him in her eyes, and had no time to think about other people or other things. .
Su Li tried her best to support him. Although she said few words, she did not drive him away. It wasn't until after the third watch that two layers of masks could not hide her fatigue, so Yang Xiao reluctantly let her go back to the house to rest.
Watching her figure disappear from the end of his sight, the smile on his face gradually faded. Her heart is not here. No matter how hard he tries to make her happy, it can't affect her mood more than a person's back!
Suddenly there was a gust of cold wind outside the house, and the candle flickered twice and then went out. The room fell into a silent darkness, and the moonlight at the door glowed cool white, reflecting in the corner of his eyes, which made him feel a little lonely and a little sighing.
He sat there, motionless. Sometimes, he could be so quiet.
The saint's dormitory was now brightly lit and full of people.
Wan Xin has been waiting there for a long time, and Xiang Li, Jiang Yuan, and Qin Heng have all arrived. All of them had their heads lowered and their expressions were a bit solemn. Now the four of them were in charge of the eight branches. Someone from the main forum had sneaked in unnoticed. They were not aware of it at all. How could they not feel heavy in their hearts.
Seeing Su Li enter the door, the four people hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and asked worriedly: "Miss, the fourth prince didn't see anything, did he?"
Su Li shook her head and gently rubbed her eyebrows. Her head hurt a little. The person she was worried about was not Yang Xiao, but Dongfang Ze who would not give up until he reached his goal. She had tried so hard to send him away last time, but he still sneaked in so quickly despite being seriously injured. His persistence towards her was already extraordinary.
"The top priority is to find Sheng Qin and others as soon as possible and bring them to see me." Su Li frowned and ordered. Dongfangze is here, and those people must be lurking everywhere in the sect. She thought for a while and then said: "Let's start with Baiyun Duo."
Xiang Li was in charge of Baiyun Duo. Xiang Li was slightly surprised and didn't know why. His eyes moved with regret, he raised his head and said in surprise: "What happened to Mo Xiang last time, couldn't it be a coincidence?"
There are not so many coincidences in this world. He must have gotten the news first and deliberately mentioned Qin Sheng's purchase of "Black Pearl" in front of her to arouse her suspicion, so he went to Baiyunduo to rescue Mo Xiang. Su Li lowered her eyes slightly, her complicated and indistinguishable emotions hidden under her thick eyelashes. She calmed down and said, "There is one more place that needs to be checked."
. "
"Broken Moon Helm!" Wan Xin, Xiang Li, and Jiang Yuan almost said in unison. Only Qin Heng didn't react for a moment and looked at them strangely.
Xiang Li smiled and said: "Shattering Moon Duo is responsible for all drug and poison research in the sect. If he wants to take the sect master away, he will definitely try his best to find the antidote to the Heartless Pill."
"That's right." Jiang Yuan nodded, but then shook his head and said solemnly: "It's a pity that the Jueqing Pill is extraordinary. Even if there is an antidote, it may not be in Shattering Moon Helm."
Wan Xin darkened his eyes and sighed: "In any case, let's start with Bai Yun and Sui Yue to investigate. Now that others have been imprisoned, those people must be anxious. It shouldn't be difficult to investigate, as long as you are careful. Just being noticed by the Fourth Prince."
Jiang Yuandao: "This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. The dark room is dark and humid, which can easily cause cold poison in the body."
Su Li's eyes trembled slightly, cold poison...
"Speaking of this cold poison, he must have lied when he said he lay in the snow for three days when he was a child. In fact, it was planted in the Lancang River, right?!" Xiang Li seemed to be curious, but he quietly glanced at Su Li. .
"Needless to say! I, Qin Heng, rarely admire anyone in my life, but I really admire him! I remember back then, in order to support the sect master, I soaked in the river for less than half an hour, and my hands and feet became stiff from the cold. I didn't expect him In order to find the sect master, I was able to stay there for seven days and seven nights! It’s unimaginable!”
I don’t know how strong willpower it takes to support a person searching for someone in such cold river water for seven days without dying...
Su Li's heart was shocked. All along, she thought that if she didn't listen, think, or face, all her memories would fade away with time. But she didn't expect that those feelings that had been deeply engraved in her heart were like melting into her bones and blood. Once there was a chance to grow, they would appear quietly, leaving her defenseless. middle.
At this moment, Su Li's eyes felt sour when she heard what these people said to each other. Unable to listen any longer, she waved away the four people with almost no strength, and locked herself in the door. The only silence in the room was the sound of her breathing. Su Li closed her eyes, covered her heart, and half leaned on the table. The vague pain in her heart made her unable to move. She could only listen to her own breathing, letting the pain wreak havoc bit by bit, until she was too tired to hold on, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
At dusk the next day, Xiang Li found Sheng Qin in Baiyunduo. Before Su Li had time to summon him, a distinguished guest suddenly came to the Sacred Heart Hall.
