The carriage went straight to the palace gate. Su Li sat in the carriage absentmindedly, not knowing where his eyes were falling. Before leaving, Dongfangze's desperate scream kept echoing in her mind. Only she knew how difficult it was to control herself from looking back at him. She closed her eyes and squeezed her hands, reminding herself that she must not waver.
"Miss, are you... okay?" Wan Xin asked worriedly.
Su Li suppressed the dull pain in her heart and slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes seemed to have regained her composure. She said softly: "Dongfangze's ability to find Xanting Pavilion proves that his people are gradually infiltrating Biandu and Shenmen." He will pay close attention to every move he makes. You ask Xiang Li and the others to be careful and don’t let him discover any clues!"
Wan Xin left in response.
When we returned to the palace, it was getting late, and the sky was gray, covering the entire palace, which inevitably made people feel depressed.
In the Zhaohua Palace, the palace maid and eunuch stood in front of the door with their heads bowed respectfully. Their faces seemed uneasy. When they saw Su Li, they hurriedly came to greet her and said, "Miss Ah Li, you are back! The emperor is in the room, waiting for you. It’s been a while!”
Su Li frowned slightly and walked quickly into the house.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yang Xiao raised his head from the hill-like memorial, his eyes were filled with joy, and he immediately came forward and said with a smile: "Where have you been in such a cold day?" He seemed to ask casually, looking at There is some exploration in it.
Su Li said calmly: "I haven't gone anywhere. I'm a little bored staying in the palace. I just went out for a walk."
He came forward and took her hand, and said with a smile: "Come, come and sit." The cold touch on his hand made him frown slightly, and he pulled her to sit on the soft couch, and thoughtfully took the fox fur cloak. He turned to her and said softly: "The winter in Biandu is very cold, and you may not be used to it yet, but don't worry, I have ordered people to install a few more heaters in Fengxi Palace. When you live there, you won't be so cold." cold."
Su Li smiled faintly and said, "Thank you." She was still a little absent-minded, playing with the belt on her cloak with her fingers.
Suddenly she heard Yang Xiao calling softly in her ear: "Ali." She turned around suddenly, only to find that his face was so close to hers.
In the bright candlelight, Yang Xiao's eyebrows were straight, his eyes were dark and bright, shining brightly. There was a smile on his lips, but the color of his lips was unusually bright red, as if they were painted with rouge, and they had a soul-stirring enchantment.
Her heart skipped a beat, how could the color of his lips be so special? He was too close to her, and she stepped back unconsciously, saying slightly unnaturally: "What are you doing so close? You scared me." She was about to stand up and avoid his approach. But he didn't expect him to pull along, and the two of them immediately lay down on the soft couch.
A trace of anger flashed across Su Li's face, but she saw Yang Xiao gently caressing her eyebrows with his fingers, and asked softly: "Ah Li, we are getting married tomorrow, why are you still rejecting me thousands of miles away?"
He seemed to be joking, but he was so careful, and he couldn't hide the slight disappointment in his words. Su Li paused for a moment, avoiding his focused gaze, and forced a smile, "No, I... I'm just not used to it yet." She frowned secretly, agreeing to the marriage was just forced by the situation, a temporary measure, and she wanted to leave here after all. .
She was just thinking about how to explain the truth to him, when suddenly her eyes went dark, and Yang Xiao's palm gently covered her eyes, with a suffocating warmth, and she heard him say softly: "I have something to give." Here you go, don’t open your eyes.”
Su Li's heart softened inexplicably and she responded softly.
There was a rustling sound in her ears, as if he was taking out something. After a while, Su Li felt a thin rope falling from the top of her head and hanging around her neck.
"Okay." Yang Xiao said happily.
Su Li opened her eyes and saw a strange pendant hanging from the lower end of the delicate red rope on her chest. It looked like the teeth of some animal, like a pale moon, about an inch long. She took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, and found that it was engraved with the secret text of the Bian royal family. The font looked a little immature and had already aged. The traces were obviously not carved recently.
"What is this?" She was a little curious.
"Tiger cub's teeth."
Su Li frowned slightly. Although she didn't like pearl hairpins and green rings like other women, accessories that were too rough were not suitable for her.
"You don't like it?" Yang Xiao asked carefully.
"No. Where did you get it?" She couldn't bear to spoil his interest.
"When I was nine years old, I went hunting with my father. I hunted a white tiger cub that was a few months old and brought it back to the palace to raise. I play with it every day when I have free time." Speaking of the past, Yang Xiao There was a bit of sadness in his expression, "The white tiger grew up in the mountains and dense forests. It didn't take long before it died. I was very sad at that time. I held it for three days and three nights and refused to let go. Finally, I fainted from exhaustion. My father ordered me to Someone took its tooth and made it into a pendant for me as a souvenir."
Su Li once heard someone mention that there is a custom in Bian State. The trophy a man gets from his first hunting is a symbol of the glory of the warrior. The white tiger is a rare species and is regarded as an auspicious animal by the world.
"This thing is too precious, you should keep it for yourself." Seeing the infinite nostalgia in his eyes, she wanted to take it off and give it back to him.
Yang Xiao held her hand, held it together with the tiger tooth pendant, and said seriously: "To me, it is indeed of extraordinary significance. Look at the words on it, I carved them myself, representing the ancient times. The charm is used to ward off evil spirits. It is very effective. It will definitely keep you safe."
Su Li sighed: "Then I can't take it anymore. If you give it to me, what will you do?"
Yang Xiao stared at her and suddenly smiled, a little naughty and proud, but also extremely happy because of her slightly caring words. He pulled out another tiger tooth necklace from his lapel, which was almost identical to Su Li's. Only the words engraved on the teeth are slightly different. The inscriptions are still new, and they were clearly engraved recently.
Su Li was stunned, they were still a couple. For some reason, she had the intuition that this pendant was not as simple as he said, it was just an amulet. Her mind was suddenly a little confused, and she suddenly realized that Yang Xiao had come behind her without knowing it, and stretched out his arms to wrap her in his arms.
In the past, the two of them had been slightly intimate, but the feeling at this time had obviously changed. Su Li felt vaguely uneasy in her heart, but she heard him sigh in her ear: "The tiger tooth pendant is something I have treasured for many years. Now that I give it to the person I like the most, it can be regarded as... getting what I wanted. Ah Li, you will do well." Is it for safekeeping?"
Su Li was very uncomfortable with how gentle he was. She frowned secretly and was thinking of what to say to change the subject.
Yang Xiaofu smiled again and said, "Ah Li, do you know what my greatest wish is in this life?"
Su Li thought for a while and said: "The country will be strong forever, and the country will be prosperous."
Yang Xiao sighed softly and said softly: "That's my duty. My biggest wish in this life is to hold you like this and never let go." He spoke softly, with the utmost gentleness, almost to the point of almost Water drips out.
His hand covered hers, his fingers clasped hers tightly, and he slowly brought it to his eyes, "Holding your hand, we will grow old together. Ah Li, I held your hand and I will never let it go again." .”
Su Li took a breath. He showed his love so straightforwardly, and she didn't know how to respond.
"Yang Xiao..." She was a little weak.
"Sh-don't talk!" His fingers touched her lips gently, and after a while, he said softly: "Did you hear that?"
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Su Li was a little confused, "What did you hear?"
"Listen, our hearts are beating equally fast." He sighed softly in his ear.
Su Li's heart was shocked, and her mind went blank for a moment. Those words of farewell that she had thought about countless times rolled on the tip of her tongue and she couldn't utter a single word. Perhaps she would never be able to tell him face to face.
"What's wrong?" He gently pulled her face, his eyes bright.
Su Li came back to her senses and noticed the hidden emotion in his eyes. She was startled and left his arms without leaving a trace. She walked aside to pour tea on an excuse and said, "It's okay. It's late at night, so you should too." Go back and rest."
Yang Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, pointing to the stack of memorials on the table, and said with a smile: "I won't go back tonight, there are still many memorials to read. You should rest first and keep yourself up, you will be very tired tomorrow. "As he said that, he actually sat down at the desk and began to review the memorial seriously.
Su Li was in a state of confusion, looking at the piles of memorials on the table, wondering how long he would have to review them? After finding a book, she flipped through it casually, but couldn't read a word.
Yang Xiao glanced at the absent-minded woman and suddenly asked, "I heard that the regent of Sheng Kingdom has arrived. Have you seen him?"
Su Lixin was immediately startled and looked up at him warily.
Yang Xiao said with a smile: "Why are you nervous? This is Biandu, and a very important figure suddenly came here. If I don't even know about this, how can I be the king of this country?"
Su Li sighed, this world belongs to him, and everyone's every move is under his control. Of course, that includes her and Dongfang Ze. He lowered his eyes and said, "The regent is here to see me, so you don't have to worry."
Yang Xiao smiled and said, "With you here, what do I have to worry about? Besides, what can he do if he comes alone with only a few guards? Ah, that's right." As if he suddenly remembered something, he turned towards her He asked, "I haven't seen your four envoys for several days. Where are they?"
Su Li's eyes flickered and he replied calmly: "I asked them to return to the main altar. Their status is not suitable for staying in the palace for a long time."
"Oh..." He nodded and said, "I see, Ah Li, you are more thoughtful." He smiled, did not ask any more questions, and continued to review the memorial, as if the previous sentences were just his unintentional questions.
Su Li put down the book and looked at him slightly startled. For some reason, she always had a feeling in her heart that Yang Xiao already knew that she wanted to leave. Yang Xiao suddenly said again: "Ah Li, where do you think Lang Chang went?"
A worried look appeared in Su Li's eyes, "I don't know, there is no news yet."
"The spies reported that Lang Chang left Dingdu more than 20 days ago and disappeared as soon as he left the border of Dingguo. This matter is a bit strange. I have ordered people to investigate near Liaocheng, but there is still no news. I am afraid there is trouble. .”
"What's the trouble?" Su Li was suddenly shocked.
"It's not clear yet. But..." He suddenly paused, and Su Li became nervous unconsciously. He just heard him say: "With Lang Chang's ability, even if he encounters any trouble, he must have a way to solve it."
Su Li's heart sank. An unknown premonition slowly enveloped her heart. Where is Lang Chang now
In the middle of the night, Yang Xiao fell asleep on the table. He seemed to be sleeping deeply, his brows were frowning slightly unconsciously, and his face was full of exhaustion.
Su Li felt an inexplicable pain in her heart and couldn't bear to wake him up, so she put a warm fur coat on him. Unexpectedly, he still held her hand tightly in his sleep. Su Li struggled slightly, and he frowned and held her hand tighter. Su Li had no choice but to sit next to him. I don't know when I fell asleep.
When the sky was dim, she opened her eyes in confusion, and saw Yang Xiao staring at her without blinking, with gentle eyebrows. When he saw that she was awake, he immediately grinned, his lips becoming more red and his teeth white.
Su Li was puzzled by his smile and said angrily: "Why are you still here? Why don't you go to court?"
Yang Xiao laughed and said, "Are you stupid? Today is our wedding day, and we will go to the ancestral temple to worship our ancestors soon."
Su Li suddenly woke up and suddenly noticed a faint aroma in the room. She turned around and saw that the incense burner in the corner had lit a piece of soothing incense at some point. Her heart sank. The best time to leave had already been missed! She stared at him in confusion.
Yang Xiao saw that she looked a little strange and couldn't help but said in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"Who ordered this incense?"
Yang Xiao's eyes flickered, and he smiled slightly and said: "I saw that you were not sleeping well, so I asked someone to light the soothing incense. Did you sleep well?"
Su Li didn't speak, just stared at him silently.
Yang Xiao stood up, walked over and hugged her waist, and said with a smile: "Today is a good day for us. I don't want the bride to be exhausted before she has finished her ceremony. It's getting late, you Go take a bath and change clothes quickly, I will pick you up later." After saying that, he called out in a loud voice: "Come here, help the queen freshen up and dress up."
Ten maids entered in response and all knelt in front of Su Li. The leading female officer was a bit unfamiliar, she had never seen her before, but her expression was respectful and her behavior was generous. She had obviously undergone strict training. She said respectfully: "I respectfully invite the Queen to go to Muqing Palace."
Su Li was silent for a moment, then stood up and followed her. A faint smile flashed in Yang Xiao's eyes.
The decoration in the Duqing Palace is more luxurious than other palaces. White jade carved cloud patterns surround the faucets around the Yunchi. Hot spring water is poured from the faucets into the Yunchi, and the steaming hot mist fills the entire room, making this bathhouse It looks like a fairyland in the clouds.
As soon as they entered the room, the female officer wanted to help Su Li change her clothes. Su Li frowned and said, "I'm not used to being served by others. Go call the messenger!"
The female officer hesitated for a moment, but seeing her firm attitude, she had no choice but to send someone. In less than a moment, the break came. Su Liping withdrew the palace maid, but the female official did not go out. She only stood guard inside the door. Su Li winked at Wan Xin, and they both stepped into the pool. The cloud pool is filled with hot fog, and the people and objects in the room become blurry and difficult to distinguish.
Su Li and Wan Xin walked straight to the deep end of the pool before stopping. Wan Xin took off his mask and looked very ugly. Su Li asked anxiously: "Why are you asleep too?"
Wan Xin glanced at the door and whispered: "For some reason, the main altar suddenly caught fire last night, and there was a problem with the secret passage mechanism leading to each branch. After everything was solved, it was already dawn!"
Su Li was shocked when he heard this. The Saintess Cult's main rudder was built on a green lake and the climate was humid. How could it suddenly catch fire
"Can the cause of the fire be found?" Su Li asked with a frown.
Wan Xin shook her head in confusion, "We haven't found any clues yet."
Su Li's heart sank immediately, and she heard Wan Xin ask in a low voice: "What are you going to do now, Miss? I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in another hour!"
Su Li said nothing, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then whispered a few words into Wan Xin's ear, took her mask and put it on her face.
Wan Xin said in a deep voice: "Miao Miao, go and get my Baijiaolu."
Su Li smiled faintly, and now Huan Xin imitated her voice, which was 90% similar. She got up and walked straight to the pool. Put on the clothes you wore when you came to win your heart, and stride out.
The female officer at the door stared at her for a few times, a little confused, but Su Li and Wan Xin were quite similar in height and body shape, so it was difficult to tell who it was.
The female officer frowned and was about to go into the pool. Wan Xin then said in a deep voice: "You are waiting outside the door. There is no need to come over to wait."
The female officer's expression froze, she hesitated for a moment, and had to retreat.
Muqing Palace was some distance away from the Emperor's study, the Jingxin Hall. As Su Li walked along, she felt that the surroundings were unusually quiet. When she reached the door, she took out her belt and whispered to the guard at the door: "The saint ordered me to come and collect some things."
The waist badge specially given by the emperor allows unimpeded access in the palace. After the guards saw it, they quickly and respectfully stepped aside. Su Li successfully entered the palace door and walked directly to the inner bedroom.
There was a large desk on the left side of the room. She took out a letter from her arms, pressed it under the inkstone, and sighed softly. This is the farewell letter she left to Yang Xiao. She hopes that he will be relieved when he reads the letter.
Time was running out, so Su Li stopped delaying and walked quickly to the large nine-frame bookshelf on the right. The secret passage leading to the main altar of the Saintess Cult was behind this bookshelf. I remember when I came with Yang Xiao for the first time, although the mechanisms he opened along the way were different, they seemed to have one thing in common. The bookshelf in front of her has nine large squares and nine small squares. It is filled with all kinds of miscellaneous books, some of which she has never heard of.
She tried to classify various miscellaneous books and wrote down the order. Then she found the hidden compartments in the small nine-square grid, and activated them one by one in order. Only hearing the "crowding" sound, the bookshelf slowly moved to the side.
Su Li's heart skipped a beat, waiting for the secret door to appear. However, when the bookshelf was completely removed, a new stone wall firmly sealed the tunnel entrance!
Su Li was stunned for a moment. She couldn't believe her eyes and her mind went blank.
There seemed to be a pair of eyes watching her from behind. She turned around warily, and it was Yang Xiao!
He was dressed in a bright red wedding robe, his hair was tied with a golden crown, his eyes were as black as jade, his lips were brightly colored, and his expression was cold and stern, but there was something unspeakably evil about it. He stood silently at the door for an unknown amount of time. Yang Xiao stared at her and said lightly: "If Miaoshi is not waiting for the queen to bathe and change in Muqing Palace, why is she in my study?"
At this point, Su Li had no words to distinguish. He took off his mask and said, "It's me."
"Ah Li?" Yang Xiao opened his eyes wide, as if he was very surprised. He rolled his eyes as if he thought of something, and smiled: "We haven't seen each other for a while, and Ah Li misses me like this? But you seem to be in the wrong place, here It's a study... not a palace." He walked over and looked at her with a smile, as if in his eyes, she really came here just to find him.
Su Li's eyes darkened and he asked bluntly: "Why is this secret passage sealed?"
Yang Xiao walked to the desk and sat down. Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the letter under the inkstone. His eyes immediately darkened, and then he regained his composure. He peeled off a longan and threw it into his mouth, and said lazily: "It's very dangerous if you don't seal it. Now everyone knows that the Saintess Cult belongs to the royal family of Bian State. If someone sneaks in one day, it will be a disaster." I'm sorry." He looked natural and answered without missing a beat, but there was a trace of resentment deep in his eyes as he looked at her.
At this moment, Su Li's heart has sunk to the bottom. This secret passage leads directly to the Saintess Cult, which is the best way for her to leave Biandu without being discovered by Dongfangze. And he might have guessed that he might leave, so he ordered someone to quietly seal the secret passage!
She walked up to him and said solemnly: "Yang Xiao, I can't marry you. I have to leave." The words came to her lips several times, but she could not leave them. At this moment, she could no longer delay.
Yang Xiao's expression changed immediately, and he shouted nervously: "Why? You want to abandon me!"
Before Su Li could answer, he had already stood up quickly and held her tightly, like an abandoned child, afraid that she would just disappear. His actions were still a bit inappropriate, but the loss and concern in his eyes were real. He asked eagerly: "Is it...that I didn't do a good job somewhere, or that the wedding was too hasty and you're not satisfied? Just say it, I'll tell them to do it again right away!" As he said that, he pulled Su Li away. Go outside the study.
Su Li's heart was shocked and she quickly grabbed him. Yang Xiao turned around in confusion. She couldn't look directly into his eyes and whispered: "Yang Xiao, I agreed to marry you. It's just a matter of convenience and expediency. You must understand in your heart..."
Although I knew what I was saying was cruel, I had to say it. She looked at the smile on the corner of his lips and slowly froze, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, and her heart began to ache uncontrollably.
The illusion of happiness that he had been trying to maintain was ruthlessly broken by her. He always thought that as long as his heart was sincere enough, there would be a glimmer of hope. However, she was so determined to leave, and it seemed that no matter how hard he tried or how hard he tried to stay, he could not change her determination to leave.
The suffocating silence was like a tide drowning him and her.
Yang Xiao just stared at her blankly, without speaking, his face gradually turned pale, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were desolate. He slowly let go of her hand and smiled slightly, "Let's go."
Su Li was shocked. Just now he tried every means to try to keep her, why did he suddenly let her go happily
He looked at her deeply, turned around, and walked away quickly and urgently.
Su Li was shocked and was about to call him out. But when Yang Xiao just stepped out of the door of the study room, his back froze, and his hand tightly covered his heart, as if he was enduring indescribable pain! His figure swayed and he fell to the ground!
Su Li was shocked, and immediately rushed to help him, asking anxiously: "What's wrong with you?"
Yang Xiao's face was pale, his lips were trembling and he couldn't speak. The color of Xianyan's lips was shocking, as if they were stained with blood! She was anxious, so she used her strength to help him lie down on his bed. She turned around and wanted to call for the imperial doctor, but he held him back.
As if he was afraid that she would never come back, he grabbed her hand hard and said tremblingly: "Ali... don't go!"
Yang Xiao tried to sit up with difficulty, but there was a begging look in his eyes. Su Li's heart softened and said: "I won't leave, I'll call the imperial doctor."
"The imperial doctor...can't save me." The beauty of his handsome face was completely lost, and his eyes were helpless.
Su Liqi asked: "Do you know where you feel uncomfortable?"
Yang Xiao didn't speak, but slowly took out an exquisite white jade bottle from his arms.
Su Li asked doubtfully: "What is this?"
"Medicine." Yang Xiao gently opened the bottle cap, and a strange aroma came out, with wisps of refreshing cool fragrance. Su Li suddenly felt refreshed. This aroma... why was it familiar to her? But can't remember
"What medicine?" She was extremely frightened.
Yang Xiao sighed and said: "This is... the antidote to the Heartless Pill. I wanted to give it to you during the wedding tonight..." He leaned on the bedside and couldn't help but tremble slightly again.
"How come you have the antidote to the Heartless Pill?" Su Li turned pale in shock. Emperor Bian once said that the Jueqing Pill had no solution at all. Could it be that he was lying to her
"Father, record the recipe for the antidote in encrypted Bian script and hide it in the box of the edict." Yang Xiao took a breath and said, "It took me a lot of effort to find all the medicinal materials and refine it. .”
"You!" Su Li's heart sank, and she quickly checked his pulse. After checking it, she found that his pulse was chaotic and there were signs of poisoning! No wonder the color of his lips looked unusual. She already felt something was wrong last night, but when she wanted to ask, she changed her words.
She couldn't believe it, and asked in shock: "You were poisoned when you were making the antidote?" The royal family of the Bian Kingdom was the best at poisoning. How powerful could a poison that he couldn't even cure himself be? ! She couldn't imagine it for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I'll call Jiang Yuan!"
Yang Xiao sighed softly, his breath seemed to be a little weaker, "It's useless, no one can save me." His eyes were dim, as if the next moment was the end of his life.
Su Li felt suffocated and asked urgently: "How come it can't be saved? The Jueqing Pill has an antidote! Do you know what kind of poison you have been poisoned with?"
Yang Xiao said nothing. The usually laughing and playful person suddenly fell silent. His eyes looked at her quietly, full of nostalgia and reluctance.
Su Li was very anxious, "Speak quickly? Do you want to die?"
Yang Xiao moved his lips, but hesitated to speak. A bit of embarrassment flashed across his expression, as if he had something unspeakable to hide.
"If you don't tell me, I will never forgive you!" Su Li said sternly. What is he still worrying about when it comes to life and death? What could be more important than life
Seeing that she was angry, Yang Xiao couldn't help but his face fell, and he smiled bitterly: "There is an antidote to this poison, but... there is only one person who can help me." His voice suddenly stopped, as if he realized that he had made a mistake.
Su Li keenly caught the hidden meaning in his words and asked in a deep voice: "Who?"
Yang Xiao dodged to avoid her gaze, but she straightened his face hard. His eyes had nowhere to hide and he had to look straight at her sharp gaze. He suddenly felt heart palpitations and replied in a daze: "You..."
Su Li was speechless and let go of her hand involuntarily.
Yang Xiao laughed softly, "It is extremely easy to be poisoned during the production process of the antidote to the Heartless Pill, and this poison belongs to the same family as the love flower. Once poisoned, you must have sex with the woman who has the Heartless Pill in her body to detoxify it, otherwise within ten days Death...certainly."
Su Li looked up at Yang Xiao blankly, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Yang Xiao looked embarrassed and smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, I'm willing to prepare the antidote for you. You don't have to feel guilty about it."
Su Li felt extremely heavy, "I have never thought about antidoting the poison of Jueqing Dan, so why do you bother to take the risk of developing an antidote?"
Yang Xiao looked at her and said frankly: "As long as you are a human being, you will have seven emotions and six desires, and the poison in your body is always possible. In the long run, it will cause damage to the body. How could I ignore it? I was poisoned at that time. I didn’t really care. I originally thought that after we got married... we would be able to figure it out. Unexpectedly... "
Su Li felt unspeakably sour in her heart. He wanted to marry her wholeheartedly, so he naturally wanted to detoxify the Heartless Pill in her body. And if she really wants to marry, he can resolve it even if she is poisoned. It's a pity that Lang is a true concubine without any intention, but the wedding day is the time for her to leave! Even though Yang Xiao sacrificed everything, he only got a certain death!
Yang Xiao's eyes flashed slightly, and he grinned: "Don't worry, I can't die. All the strange poisons in the world are in my country, Bian. I don't believe that I can't find the antidote to this poison! Let's go quickly, you can take this... !”
He put the white jade bottle into her hand, and looking at his pretending to be relaxed smile, Su Li's heart hurt inexplicably, "Yang Xiao..."
He had done so much for her, how could she just ignore him and leave
Su Li's heart suddenly calmed down, and she walked slowly to the bedside and looked at him steadily, "Yang Xiao, I will not abandon you." We have been together for several months, experienced life and death, and shared weal and woe. In her heart, he is no longer the unrelated foreign prince he was at the beginning! He is her relative and an indispensable existence in her heart!
Yang Xiao's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be infinitely happy, but he couldn't be sure. He said uneasily: "You..."
"I will cure the poison in your body. But you must promise me to let me leave."
Su Li's calm words were like a basin of ice water being poured down the head, and the light that had just lit up in Yang Xiao's eyes was instantly extinguished. His expression was changing, and he had no idea that she was willing to sacrifice her innocence to save him, but still refused to stay by his side!
He couldn't help but catch his breath and looked at her in disbelief. Watching her calmly put down the curtain, slowly take off her outer robe, middle coat...
"Have you... thought it through?" His breathing was tight and his voice was a little hoarse.
Su Li didn't speak, but gently leaned down and took off his bright red wedding clothes. His silent movements said everything.
Inside the curtain, the light and shadow were dim. Although her figure was slender, she was well-proportioned. She was close before his eyes, endless temptation. This was Ah Li whom he missed day and night, and wanted to grow old hand in hand with her!
Yang Xiao's expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish, his heart was ups and downs, and there was a moment of hesitation in his eyes. Finally, he held her heart in his arms, turned her over and pressed her on his chest. () Since I can’t get your heart, my life will not be in vain if I get your heart!
Although she had made up her mind, Su Li didn't expect him to be so eager and violent, and couldn't help but be surprised. But he closed his eyes gently and waited for what was to come.
His eyes exuded a compelling light in the dim light and shadow. He was still unwilling to give in. He didn't believe that they had experienced so much together and there was no place for him in her heart!
The next second, his kiss fell, warm and soft. Kiss her gently on the lips.
Su Li's body stiffened unconsciously, but she held it back. As if aware of her inner resistance, his movements became more gentle, fearing to hurt her. His kissing was not skillful, even a bit green and immature.
He flicked the tip of his tongue and carefully passed her lips, slowly increasing the force, trying to awaken the passion hidden in her body. However, the woman under him always passively endured his demands, without any sexual reaction, let alone Symptoms caused by the poison of Jueqing Dan caused by emotion.
Yang Xiao suddenly paused and saw that she had her eyes closed, her face was calm and peaceful, and the faint light and shadow shone on her face, as if it was coated with holy light.
No woman would be so calm as if she had lost her life under the man she likes!
She doesn't love him! She really doesn't love him!
He was panting rapidly, the desire in his body had not completely subsided, but his eyes were filled with a desperate light. He turned over suddenly, sat on the edge of the bed, and took a deep breath to calm down.
Su Li opened her eyes and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with you?"
After a long time, Yang Xiao turned around, looked at her, suddenly smiled and said, "I lied to you."
Su Li seemed to understand something, her eyes suddenly became horribly cold. She stared at him closely and asked expressionlessly: "What did you say?"
Yang Xiao stared blankly at the bright red silk in front of the window. Such festive and bright colors stung his eyes inexplicably, "I had guessed that you were leaving a long time ago, and I have been thinking, how can I keep you?"
Su Li was stunned for a moment, and a strong feeling of being fooled rushed into her heart.
"Now I understand, no matter what I do, I can't keep you. Your heart has never been here." He looked at her with dark eyes, bright lips, and a smile full of helplessness and self-deprecation.
Su Li stared closely at his unusually beautiful lips, remembering his unstable pulse before, and said suspiciously: "You are obviously poisoned!"
Gently grazing his lips with his fingertips, Yang Xiao grinned and said, "I was poisoned, but it's not serious, and I don't need this method to detoxify."
"You!" Su Li was furious. She almost got married to him just now. She wished she could step forward and slap him to death, and shouted angrily: "Yang Xiao, how dare you lie to me?!"
Yang Xiao took the initiative to come over. Although he was smiling, he could not hide the deep loneliness in his eyes: "I lied to you, just because I wanted to keep you so much. I thought that with your temperament, you would not Watch me die. If you agree with me, you will be my queen in the future and stay with me forever. But I didn't expect... your body can be handed over to me, but your heart is still not mine."
Su Li gritted her teeth, but was speechless.
Yang Xiao sighed, "It turns out that he has penetrated so deeply into your heart!"
"What do you know!" Su Li shouted angrily: "I took the Jueqing Pill to suppress the conflicting internal forces in my body. Now that the two internal powers have been combined into one, I don't care at all whether it can detoxify. You are so self-righteous that you insist on making an antidote. What kind of poison have you been poisoned by? Tell me!"
Yang Xiao chuckled and immediately held her hand: "Ali, you still care about me!" Seeing her face suddenly darken, he quickly added: "I'm really fine, it's just an ordinary poison. After a while, Just take some medicine!”
Su Li was dubious and said, "Seriously?"
"Of course." He immediately raised his hands, his eyes extremely serious: "I will never lie to you again."
Su Li breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing him sitting by the bed while she was still disheveled, she immediately waved her hand and drove him out of bed. Yang Xiao screamed in pain and shouted: "Hey, I'm kind enough to help you." Is this how you repay me for making the antidote?"
Su Li arranged her clothes, got out of bed, stared at him and said angrily: "You deserve it, who told you to lie to me?" Seeing that his face was still pale, she finally couldn't bear it, and reached out to help him up, "How are you? Where is the medicine? Take it quickly."
"Don't worry, I've already taken it. It's just that it will take some time for the medicine to take effect." His smile returned to his face, and he put the jade bottle into her hand again, "You take this, don't My hard work on medicine is in vain."
Su Li sighed, "Why are you doing this? Doing these stupid things!"
Yang Xiao said happily: "I don't care, anyway, I'm not the only one who does stupid things!"
Su Li's heart skipped a beat, "What did you say?"
Yang Xiao knew he had made a mistake, but he could only murmur: "Do you remember when someone invited me to enter the carriage for a detailed discussion at the gate of the imperial city? At that time, he said that there would be civil strife in the Bian Kingdom soon, and he would never take advantage of it, and When necessary, help me with all your strength to quell the chaos."
Su Li's heartbeat quickened: "What about his conditions?"
Yang Xiao pursed his lips towards her, "It's what you have in your hand."
Su Li's heart was shocked, and she raised her head almost in disbelief, "You mean... the reason why Dongfangze gave up the opportunity to attack Bian State and fully helped you was just for... the antidote to the Heartless Pill?"
Yang Xiao said with a complicated expression: "I didn't take this seriously at first. Even without him, I would have tried to get rid of the poison in your body. At that time, I had tried my best to find evidence to expose the emperor's conspiracy, but I didn't expect that it was still slow. In the end, when there was a civil war, he kept his word and did not take the opportunity to send troops. He also tried his best to help me... "
Su Li lowered her head, her mind suddenly became confused and complicated, and she was speechless for a while.
Yang Xiao continued: "I once asked my father if there was an antidote to the Jueqing Pill, but he remained silent until a few days ago, when I found the formula for the antidote to the Jueqing Pill in the box where the posthumous edict was placed. After looking at it carefully, Only then did I understand why my father refused to tell me!"
"Why?" Su Li asked subconsciously.
"Because in his eyes, there is no solution to the Jueqing Pill. To make the antidote to the Jueqing Pill, you need a medicinal material that only exists in legends."
"What is it?"
"This thing grows in extremely cold places. People in the world only know that it can restore the martial arts of a disabled person, but they don't know that its greater use is that it can cure all poisons in the world!"
Su Li's heart was shocked, the extremely cold place... She suddenly thought of the border of Liaocheng, the Snow Dragon Peak that never melted with snow all year round, the ice pool on the top of the peak, Dongfang Ze's unusually pale face... and his hand The jade box that I hold tightly...
She suddenly raised her head, opened her eyes wide, and said in shock: "Millennium Cold Heart Grass!?"
Yang Xiao nodded.
Su Li took a breath and asked with difficulty: "Dongfang Ze went to Liaocheng... also for this antidote?"
Yang Xiao said: "Only in the Ice Pond at the top of Snow Dragon Peak in Liaocheng City can the Cold Heart Grass grow. However, the cold air in the Ice Pond will cause the blood in the body to quickly coagulate. Without the assistance of special drugs, ordinary people will not be able to grow the cold heart grass after entering the water. , it is absolutely impossible to come out alive. This is the reason why no one has obtained it for many years. It’s just that I didn’t expect that Dongfang Ze could find this unique medicinal material that is rare in a thousand years! I thought that the love I have for you is unprecedented in the world. Everyone can match it, but I didn’t expect someone to do it better than me... I am convinced that I have lost... "
Su Li was shocked beyond measure. She had always known that everything Dongfangze did must have a purpose, but she never expected that it was for her!
When he first ascended the throne, he stayed away from Sheng because of her; when he stopped fighting and was willing to accept a rude treaty, it was because of her; when he gave up the great opportunity to conquer the enemy's country and helped his opponent, it was because of her; when he was suffering from cold poison, he went to the extremely cold place, regardless of My own safety... or for her!
The whole country's strength, the whole country's soldiers, even the risk of being put into danger, all for her! Even if he was misunderstood and accused by her, he never gave up on her for a moment! Su Li's heart... was as sharp as a knife in an instant!
"Ah Li?" Yang Xiao couldn't help being startled when he saw that her face suddenly turned as pale as paper.
Su Li seemed to be unable to hear his voice, and Yang Xiao's face gradually blurred in her sight. She seemed to be back at the edge of the ice pool that day, Dongfang Ze's heartbroken expression, the moment he fell to the ground... She His whole body was shaking uncontrollably. Thinking back on everything that had happened in the past few months, she had been trying hard to ignore him and stay away from him, but he was pursuing her and saving her at all costs!
Su Li suddenly remembered that day when he persuaded Yang Xiao to let Yang Zhen go, he once said that there are always choices in life, otherwise, the gains outweigh the losses... And what did Dongfangze take for her, and what did he give up
Her heart tightened, causing her heart to ache, and she could hardly breathe!
Yang Xiao saw her expression was different and hurriedly wanted to call someone over. Suddenly Bada's anxious voice came from outside the study door: "Your Majesty, I have just received news that Prince Dingguo was ambushed at the border of Liaocheng and his whereabouts are unknown!"
Lang Chang was ambushed and killed? ! Su Li's face changed in shock, and Yang Xiao stood up suddenly, waved his hand and pushed open the door, and asked angrily in a deep voice: "Who is so bold? How dare you ambush the crown prince of Ding in the Bian Kingdom!"
Bada shook his head solemnly, "It hasn't been found yet."
Yang Xiao's face suddenly became frighteningly gloomy, and Su Li's heart sank to the bottom. Thinking that the gentle and elegant man was in danger at this moment, she was extremely anxious.
"Bada, I order you to immediately take people to find the whereabouts of Prince Ding. No matter what the cost, we must find him! We must not let anything happen to him in Bian territory!" Yang Xiao said in a deep voice.
Bada looked calm and quickly retreated after receiving the order.
Su Li was so confused that she stood up and said firmly: "Yang Xiao! I can't marry you!"
Yang Xiao sighed secretly: "I understand, I will let someone come and reopen the secret passage. You can leave or stay, it's up to you."
Su Li was startled for a moment, heat welling up in her eyes. He was three months younger than her, but he always protected and loved her like an older brother, never neglecting her in the slightest. He risked his life to save her many times at the critical moment of life and death. Even though he loved her very much, he still refused to force her. He had thought of everything and done everything for her, but at this last moment, he would rather become the laughing stock of the world than fulfill her wish!
He stepped forward with a smile and held her hand. He still looked cynical, but far from the original frivolity. "The wedding is coming soon, and I have to deal with the aftermath. You... take care!" Yang Xiao hugged her. He hugged her tightly, kissed her deeply on the forehead, suddenly smiled brightly, turned around resolutely, and strode out of the study.
Su Li felt a little dazed. This scene was like when he left Tianmen Inn without hesitation. No matter how reluctant you are to give up, you will never look back.
We are separated from each other, maybe... we will never see each other again in this life.
Her hands trembled slightly, and she couldn't help shouting: "Yang Xiao!"
The sun is shining brightly today, and it shines particularly brightly on the bright red carpet.
The wedding ceremony of the new emperor of Bian State was very grand, and the roar of joy spread out from the palace, adding a bit of joy to the capital city that had been reborn after the disaster. There was a sea of people inside and outside Chaohui Hall. Envoys and civil and military officials from various countries who came to congratulate the emperor lined up to greet him, and they were full of joy.
At this moment, Emperor Bian Yang Xiao was dressed in a luxurious groom's wedding dress, carefully supporting the dressed-up bride beside him, and walked slowly to the front of the palace with a spring breeze on his face.
The ministers knelt down to greet him, and envoys from various countries rushed to congratulate him. Only Dongfang Ze stood aside with gloomy eyes and said nothing. He looked steadily at the woman beside Yang Xiao. She was seen wearing a bright red wedding robe, and all the embroidered ornaments were perfect and exquisite, which set off the noble aura of the mother of a country. She lowered her head slightly, and the bright red hijab covered her beautiful face, but it could not hide her dazzling elegance.
Dongfangze clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles. How many times had he wished in loneliness and isolation? What kind of satisfaction would it be if she could walk beside him like this? However, at this moment, she was following Yang Xiao calmly, slowly walking towards the high position in the palace step by step.
Yang Xiao glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and suddenly he stopped, raised his eyebrows slightly, and raised an incomprehensible smile on his lips, as if he was mocking his failure.
Dongfangze's eyes suddenly sharpened, he turned his palm and slapped Yang Xiao directly on the chest!
Yang Xiao's expression changed. He never expected that he would dare to take action. He ducked and barely avoided the attack. Unexpectedly, Dongfang Ze's move was false, he changed his palms faster, grabbed the bride beside him, pulled her into his arms, and quickly hit several large acupoints on her body.
His movements were as fast as lightning, so fast that everyone felt as if their eyes were blurred, and the bride had already left Emperor Bian's side!
Everyone was stunned and speechless. Emperor Sheng Dongfang Ze openly snatched the bride in the Bian Palace!
The bride was held in his arms, her body stiff and unable to move. Dongfang Ze quickly shouted in her ear: "You are not allowed to marry him! Come with me!"
The bride was shocked and looked at him blankly. His handsome face was not clear through the red silk hijab. Only the cold breath reached her heart through the red silk hijab, and her heart trembled uncontrollably. Before she could speak, he had already grabbed her waist and rushed straight out of the palace door.
Yang Xiao's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Stop him!"
The guards outside the palace drew their weapons and quickly blocked the door of the palace, blocking Dongfang Ze's way. The bright weapon was extremely dazzling under the strong sunlight. Seeing this, Sheng Qin, Sheng, Xiao Shengjin and the others shouted, "Guard me!" He immediately rushed forward and stopped in front of Dongfang Ze. With his naked body exposed, he stared unblinkingly at the guards surrounding him.
Yang Xiao took a step forward and said angrily: "Dongfang Ze! What are you doing? Let her go!"
Dongfangze narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "She is mine, no one can take her away from me!"
Yang Xiao's face turned green with anger, and he shouted angrily: "You are really crazy! You failed to propose marriage, and you openly robbed her! Aren't you afraid of the ridicule of the world?"
Dongfangze laughed loudly, "What does the world think of me? What does it have to do with me? I only want her!"
"Haha!" As if he heard a huge joke, Yang Xiao actually raised his head and laughed twice, with the cold light in his eyes like ice blades, "Whoever dares to take away my queen, I will make him leave this palace without his life! Come on! Man! Catch him!"
He shouted in a deep voice, and with a wave of his hand, countless Yulin guards emerged from both sides of the hall, all with cold faces and cold guns. They stood at the door, and immediately aroused a formidable and murderous aura.
Dongfang Ze's face darkened, he suddenly fired both palms together, and rushed straight towards Yang Xiao with an astonishing amount of internal energy! The guards were shocked and shouted "Protect the Emperor!" and rushed towards Yang Xiao. At this moment, Dongfang Ze hugged the woman in his arms tightly, stood up from the ground, passed over the heads of the guards, and flew straight out of the hall.
When the bride saw that her body had actually left the ground, she screamed in fright. Dongfangze's face changed with shock. He pulled off the hijab of the woman next to him and was immediately stunned.
The civil and military officials and envoys from various countries opened their mouths in surprise, and everyone's eyes were focused on the face of the woman whose hijab was lifted! That face, unpainted and mediocre in appearance, was completely different from the beautiful saint they had seen!
Dongfang Ze's hand around her waist was withdrawn in pain as if it had been burned, and he took three steps back in shock, his face gloomy and uncertain. No wonder he always felt something was wrong when he saw her today. It turned out to be a fake! He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the woman's arm, and asked sharply: "Who are you? Where is Su Li?"
The woman's face turned pale with fright, she was trembling, and she couldn't say a word.
Dongfang Ze tightened his fingers slightly and said with anger like a knife, "How dare you pretend to be her! Where is she? Tell me quickly! Otherwise I will make your life worse than death!"
"Dongfang Ze, let her go!" Yang Xiao walked up behind him step by step and smiled slowly: "How can you be so rude to my people?"
Dongfang Ze's expression changed instantly, he threw the woman away suddenly, turned back and glared at him: "Is this your arrangement? Where is she?"
"Yes, I arranged it." He casually dusted his sleeves, completely ignoring his overwhelming anger, and smiled maliciously, "I knew you would definitely come to rob someone if you jumped over the wall! So I didn't let her Come… "
"That's nonsense!" Dongfangze was so worried that he grabbed his collar and said angrily: "You did everything just to marry her! How can you change someone so easily? Tell me, where is she?!"
When the guards saw it, they immediately stepped forward with their swords. Sheng Qin and others were shocked when they saw this. Their palms flew. Wherever the wind of the palm struck, the swords were broken and the guards fell down. Everyone was shocked when they saw this and retreated one after another. Bada shouted angrily: "Protect the emperor and capture the thief."
"Everyone, retreat!" Yang Xiao shouted in a deep voice. Everyone was stunned and stayed in place.
Dongfangze stared at him, not missing any subtle expression on his face, "Let me ask you again, where is she?"
"I don't know." Yang Xiao shrugged and smiled brightly.
"Do you believe that I will destroy your Bian Palace?!" Murderous intent suddenly appeared in Dongfangze's eyes, and the panic and pain in his heart almost made him lose his mind.
But Yang Xiao laughed heartily, and actually walked to the side and sat down, spreading his hands, "You don't believe me when I tell the truth, then fine, you and I will have a fierce duel here, and at worst, we will go to hell together, okay?" Let her regret it for the rest of her life!"
There was a mocking look on his face, and he always smiled frivolously. Even though he was smiling, there was a deep sense of loss hidden deep in his eyes.
Dongfang Ze's heart froze and he couldn't help but take a step back. He let go! On the wedding day, everyone in the world knew that she would become Yang Xiao's queen! From then on, they stayed in the middle palace and stayed together for life. Why did he just let it go? From Shengdu to Biandu, Yang Xiao spent as much thought on her as he did. Even though she was not very interested in marrying him, he dreamed of getting her! What made this person change his mind? !
"You... you are willing to let her go, but I can't..." Dongfang Ze gasped, in unbearable shock.
The smile on Yang Xiao's face disappeared and he sighed: "If you care deeply about her, you should understand that you should let her go when it's time to let her go."
"No!" His eyes darkened and he stared at him and said, "She wants to leave because she had no intention of truly marrying you in the first place! In her heart, from beginning to end, there is only me! How can I let go?"
Yang Xiao's face turned cold, Huo Di stood up and mocked: "It doesn't matter who she has in her heart. What's important is that she left because she didn't want to see you."
The moment she turned around, she called out to him. Her heart was filled with passion, but he didn't dare to look back. If the person in her heart is not him, even if he keeps her by his side, she will only be left with pain for half her life. So why bother? Sure enough, she asked him to take care, and even if she was away in the future, he would promise her that he would always have a happy heart. Even though his heart was cut by a knife, he could only agree with a smile. From the moment he stepped out of the study, he knew that she would never belong to him...
She's gone, gone... Yang Xiao's cruel words were like a sharp sword, piercing into Dongfang Ze's heart. A tearing pain made him almost unable to stand. The fake bride standing aside was so frightened that she couldn't stand still and lay on the ground trembling. Dongfang Ze suddenly raised his head and stared at Yang Xiao. He controlled all the ways out of Biandu City except the imperial palace. She never left the palace after returning to the palace. Yang Xiao found this fake bride, most likely to delay time. If she wants to leave... it can only be one place!
Thinking of this, he immediately spread out his body and flew towards the Jingxin Hall.
Yang Xiao's expression suddenly changed with shock, and he quickly said: "Stop him!"
The Yulin Guards rushed forward like a tide. Dongfangze split the person in front of him with a palm, and countless more Yulin Guards rushed forward. The human walls are layer upon layer, seemingly endless. Sheng Xiao and others rushed over, but were unable to get close. Dongfang Ze was in agony and pain, and suddenly he let out a long roar, his waist shook, and a stream of light flashed across his hand. He saw the sword light shining, and the Yu Linwei in front of him was like a dead tree in the wind, and he immediately fell down. Without any hesitation, he gathered his energy and ran forward.
Yang Xiao was so shocked that he couldn't speak. With his status and carrying a peerless sword, how could he easily unsheath it? Unexpectedly, Dongfangze would not hesitate to show his murderous intent for her. He would kill gods if he stopped him, and he would kill the Buddha if he stopped him.
Dongfangze ran all the way with his sword, and soon arrived at the Jingxin Hall. The guard outside the imperial study room was knocked unconscious by a palm before he could react. Dongfang Ze kicked open the door to the inner room with his eyes. He scanned the room and found traces of fresh soil under the bookshelf. He was moved in his heart and stretched out his hand on the bookshelf. After searching, I found the hidden mechanism tentacles. I opened them one by one. I heard a "creeping" sound and the bookshelf moved aside.
A dark secret passage appeared in front of her. The entrance of the secret passage seemed to have just been smashed open. There were still a lot of gravel scattered on the ground. It was obvious that she had just left! Dongfangze didn't hesitate any longer and jumped into the secret passage!
"Your Majesty!" Sheng Qin, Sheng Xiao and others finally broke through the guards' obstruction and caught up. Dongfangze frowned and said, "You guys stay here and guard!"
"Your Majesty! Let's go!" Lin Tianzheng and Yu Qianji also rushed in, slammed the door, and shouted with a pale face: "Yang Xiao is here with Yu Linwei, let's go!"
At this moment, the imperial study room was surrounded by Yulin guards. Yang Xiao stood in front of the door with a gloomy expression on his face.
"Your Majesty, I will rush in with my men. They won't be able to fly even if they have wings!" Bada's hand holding the knife was eager to try.
Yang Xiao raised his arm slightly and shook his head: "No hurry, just wait."
"Your Majesty!" Bada was a little anxious.
But Yang Xiao just stared at the door and smiled lazily: "Can you resist his flowing light?"
Bada was stunned and shook his head solemnly. Yang Xiao smiled and said, "What's the point of trying? I just want to see if he can fly. The Yulin Guards obeyed the order and surrounded the imperial study. No one is allowed to move without my order!"
"What should I do?" Yu Qianji was closest to the door. He was frightened and looked towards Dongfang Ze involuntarily.
Dongfang Ze glanced at the door, thousands of thoughts passing through his mind, but he already understood everything. He turned his head and looked at the deep secret passage, gritted his teeth and said, "You guys come with me!"
The dark secret passage was narrow and winding. Dongfangze rushed to the front alone, and everyone behind him concentrated on fearing any accident. This secret passage is directly connected to the emperor's royal study by the Saintess Cult. In order to prevent the Saintess Cult from revolting one day and endangering the palace, many mechanisms were set up when building the secret passage. If you are not careful, you will die without a burial place!
Knowing this, Dongfangze still couldn't control himself and kept chasing after her, fearing that if he was a little slower, he would lose her traces!
"Your Majesty, be careful!" He rushed to a corner, and suddenly, two blue silver needles were aimed at his eyes and shot at him. Lin Tianzheng and others were shocked and couldn't help shouting in horror. Dongfang Ze's expression changed slightly, and he paused for a moment. At this time, the silver needle was already in front of his eyes. With a flick of his finger, the poison-quenched silver needle fell to the ground with a "ding" sound.
Lin Tianzheng said anxiously: "Your Majesty, there are many agencies here, so it's better to be careful! Even if you are anxious, you still have to live to catch up with the Queen!"
Dongfangze was shocked and took a deep breath, "I know it well."
The secret passage was as silent as death, as if no one had ever been there. Every time Dongfangze took a step, his heart couldn't control his despair. His steps were getting faster and faster, his eyes were getting more and more panicked, and the darkness ahead seemed to be endless, making his heart sink into the cold bottom little by little.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound from the invisible front, as if someone was tapping on the stone door.
Dongfangze was shocked, Susu! is her! It must be her! His heart was uncontrollably excited, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and he finally couldn't help shouting loudly: "Susu!" He rushed through the two turning secret passages like flying, and the sound of the stone door opening was vaguely heard, which made his heart skip a beat. Almost stopped beating nervously.
He used Qinggong to rush forward desperately, and the hidden weapon silver needles suddenly came densely. His true energy condensed in his palms, and his sleeves and robes danced. Wherever his palm force touched, the silver needles dispersed like rain in the sky, and exploded in the air. Countless sparks. This stretch of road seemed to be endless, and her breath seemed to be just a fleeting phantom in the darkness. Anger and despair enveloped him. His feet became faster and faster, and his palms became more and more urgent. The infuriating energy made his clothes rustle. His whole body was like a shooting star, traveling through the sparks. The stone door appeared in front, but it was tightly closed, as if the beautiful woman had just disappeared on the other side of the door. Dongfang Ze was very angry without hesitation and struck hard with both palms!
There was a loud bang and the stone door collapsed!
Sparks and dust scattered like mist and rain, and outside the stone door was the Sacred Heart Temple. The temple, which used to be bustling with people, was so quiet that not a single person could be seen. In the mist, all I could see was his frightened black eyes, which were darker than the night and colder than ice and snow.
"Your Majesty!" Sheng Qin and others caught up, gasping and shouting.
"Why is there no one? Walking away so cleanly?" Lin Tianzheng was surprised.
Yu Qianji couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the Saint has already planned to leave before..."
"Do you know which direction they went?" Lin Tianzheng couldn't help but asked anxiously when he saw that Dongfang Ze's face was ashen.
Yu Qianji shook his head: "The Sacred Heart Palace is built at the bottom of the eight peaks. Roads extend in all directions, and also secretly lead to the water system. There are no less than ten ways out..."
Lin Tianzheng was stunned and speechless. If you don’t know where you are going from, how can you chase after you
Dongfangze stood blankly, waved his hand for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse: "You guys go down. I want to be alone."
Everyone was stunned, but he took steps and walked forward slowly. This place was so familiar, and her breath was everywhere. The room she lived in was still the same as before, with a fine wooden comb placed on the dressing table, as if the owner had never left. He stared blankly, holding the wooden comb, and her face appeared in the bronze mirror, which was pure and beautiful, with a calm gaze.
At that time, he was Xia Fu'an. Even though his status was ordinary, he could see her every day.
At this time, he was the emperor of the Sheng Kingdom, but he had lost sight of her. It would be difficult to see her again in this life...
"Susu..." There was great pain in his heart, and heat surged in his eyes. The wooden comb in his hand had pricked his finger, and blood gushed out, dripping down. Together with the tears that came out unconsciously, it was as hard as ice. Blood flowers bloomed on the bluestone.
The moon-white gauze curtains at the doors and windows danced gently in the wind, and the air was suddenly filled with an imperceptible fragrance.
The shadows flickered, as if they were illusions and unreal. The gentle footsteps stepped on the ground, so softly that there was no sound at all. She walked slowly behind him and pressed her delicate jade fingers on his shoulders.
Dongfangze's heart seemed to suddenly stop beating. He turned around suddenly, and the face that haunted him was right in front of him! The shock was replaced by ecstasy in an instant, and the next second, he hugged her hard. He held her so tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, she would just be the moon in the mirror, a fantasy!
She didn't move, just let him hold her tighter and tighter, holding her delicate hands lightly, trying her best to calm the turmoil in her heart.
He suddenly looked at her intently, calling that name thousands of times in his heart, but he was too frightened to speak easily. She also looked at him quietly without speaking. Time flows behind you, like a complex that has been entangled for thousands of years. In the infatuated look at each other, the grudges are gone and the love grows...
"I'm waiting for you..." She suddenly smiled faintly, her bright eyes sparkling with brilliance that couldn't be concealed, and it hit his heart at once.
He seemed unable to believe it and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why didn't you leave?"
Su Li sighed softly: "I know you will definitely come, so I'm waiting for you here."
Dongfang Ze's heart immediately beat wildly, and joy surged, overwhelming his heart. "You... finally... forgive me?"
"From the Imperial Study Room to here, I have been thinking about whether I should forgive you?" She raised her head slightly and looked at the light above her head, seemingly lost in thought.
Dongfangze's passionate passion was accompanied by uneasiness, and he couldn't help but hold his breath.
"You are the most perfect man I have ever seen! I deeply admire your wisdom and agility, and your gentleness and carefulness make me extremely moved... I have wanted to forget you countless times, but I can't help but feel sad. You attract..." At this point, she smiled to herself.
This was the first time that she took the initiative to talk about her feelings for him. Dongfangze's heart was slightly shaken, and he looked at her with a deeper look.
Su Li looked at him deeply: "When you promised me in the hot spring pool that you would never break up, I knew that I couldn't escape... Even though I told myself over and over in my heart that I couldn't trust you easily, I still felt hopeless. Stuck in it..."
"Susu!" His excited eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but hold her hand tightly, "I know, I know you love me in your heart."
She lowered her head and sighed: "It's so difficult to not be tempted by you. However, the truth about Li Su's case has completely shattered all my feelings and trust in you!"
The deeper the love, the stronger the hate. The heartbreak and despair at that moment seemed to be vivid again, and her voice was suddenly filled with pain.
Dongfang Ze's heart shrank tightly and he couldn't help hugging her, saying heartbrokenly: "Susu..." There was a sob in his throat, but he couldn't say another word.
Su Li lowered her eyes and said: "I can't face my inner feelings for you, so as soon as we say goodbye to Lancang River, I devise a plan to hide the truth and stay away from you at all costs. I will never see you again in this life..."
"No! Su Su!" Dongfangze shouted nervously, his almost trembling voice revealing his inner panic, and he said hoarsely: "My wrong thought at the time hurt you so deeply. No matter how you treat me, I will not care. No complaints, just please don’t leave me again!”
This was the second time he begged her. In his whole life, he had only asked for her!
Su Li's heart ached, and she couldn't help but hug him gently. He immediately trembled all over and hugged her tighter, as if she was embedded in his bones.
She sighed faintly: "There are so many women in the world, why are you so persistent with me?"
Dongfang Ze said in a low voice: "In my heart, the world is not as important as you. No one can replace you. You are unique and unparalleled in the world!"
As if being hit in the heart, Su Li's heart trembled heavily! Her eyes suddenly became sour, and she couldn't help but choked up: "I set up a trap with death to break up with you. I have already believed that you and I have broken off our relationship and have no chance to renew our relationship. I never believed that you were sincere for me. You have repeatedly I doubt you, blame you, and abandon you. What good can I do? I am worthy of you devoting all your efforts and the whole country's troops, and even risking your life to go deep into the ice lake for me to get the Millennium Cold Heart Grass that may not even exist. !?"
Dongfangze was slightly shocked and looked at her in surprise.
Su Li took out the Heartless Pill antidote from his arms, his eyes were red, and he said with some sadness: "I thought that in your heart, the country and power are the most important, but Yang Xiao told me that if you cooperate with him, just It's for this antidote... I didn't expect that you would really give up the great opportunity to dominate the world for me!" Her eyes lingered on his handsome face, and she was a little crazy. She always thought that he and her had experienced So much, it is absolutely impossible to drop everything and start over. But he never expected that he would give up everything for the love in his heart and be persistent and determined.
Dongfang Ze hugged her, stroked her long hair, looked at her intently, and said softly: "What's the use of winning the whole world without you?!"
Su Li's eyes were shocked, but she couldn't speak.
"Susu..." The slender and gentle fingers gently stroked her hair with affectionate feelings, which made her deeply addicted.
"Dongfangze," she called him softly with eyes like water, "can you really keep the promise you made to me at Yang Xiao's coronation ceremony?"
Dongfangze's eyes were bright and he said without hesitation: "I can. I, Dongfangze, will never abandon Susu and never betray her."
Su Li's eyes filled with warmth, she took a deep breath and snuggled into his arms. Excitement and ecstasy surged into his heart. He took the antidote to the Heartless Pill without hesitation, raised her face, fed her with his lips, and kissed her excitedly.
The pills had a calming aroma, the soft lips brought an intense touch, and the indescribable and wonderful taste spread through the body like electricity, and both of them were shocked. Once the emotions that had been suppressed for too long were released, they were no longer controllable. Under his passionate kiss, Su Li's whole body seemed to soften into water, her whole body was soft and she was a little unable to stand. She quickly hugged his neck, and her waist was immediately clasped tightly in his arms, either domineeringly and passionately, or gently sucking, tossing and turning, full of affection, and the tide of love surged like a torrent, wantonly and wildly.
He and she had no doubts about life and death, they were in perfect harmony, they were separated by mountains and rivers, they were obsessed with each other, and they were heartbroken. On the edge of life and death, every moment there is more hope, the next moment is deeper despair. Even though he was the enemy of the whole world, he never gave up and did not dare to give up. His Susu is finally back!
"Susu!" His breathing gradually became heavier, and his soft lips lingered next to her ear and down her neck, seeming to ignite her passion.
There was a faint fragrance floating in the air, and the cold space seemed to suddenly become warm. Su Li felt that her whole body was soft and weak, but there was a strange passion in her body, which drove her to hug him tightly and respond to him. But this could no longer satisfy him, so he picked her up and walked to the bed.
"Dongfangze..." She suddenly woke up, pushed him away quickly, and gasped, "Wait a minute."
"What are you waiting for?" Feeling that the person in his arms was a little uneasy, he suppressed the strong desire in his body and carefully put her down.
Seeing how considerate he was, Su Li's heart was filled with tenderness and she smiled unconsciously, "I'm leaving. Wan Xing and they are waiting for me outside."
Dongfangze's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, "Where are you going?" His heart that was burning like fire a moment ago suddenly seemed to have fallen into the ice again. He looked at her in disbelief, thinking that she was waiting here, forgive me. If you fall in love with him and accept him, you will stay with him for life. But he didn't expect that she would leave!
Seeing that his face was blue and full of hurt, Su Li couldn't help but chuckle and said: "I have something to do, of course I have to leave."
Dongfangze took her hand unhappily, "What's so important to you? I'll just handle it for you."
Su Li sighed: "I just got the news that Prince Ding was ambushed on his way to Bian and his whereabouts are unknown. I want to find him!" Thinking that Lang Chang might still be in danger at this moment, she became worried.
Dongfang Ze couldn't help frowning and said: "Lang Chang is in trouble, what does it have to do with you?" Thinking that Lang Chang had openly fought for her with him in the Shengguo palace, and even wanted to take her back to the country at any cost, and now that Lang Chang was missing, she was so nervous, He wanted to find her in person and break up with him cruelly, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Su Li stroked his eyebrow and said with a slight smile: "It has a very important relationship. I will tell you slowly in the future."
"No." He grabbed her hand, put it to his lips and kissed her gently, locking his eyes deeply with her, "You are mine, and I will never allow anyone to take you away."
She laughed, "You are too worried, I only treat Lang Chang like an elder brother!"
"That's not okay." His tone became more urgent, "Of course I know how you treat him, but I don't dare to believe what he has in mind!"
Su Li shook her head helplessly, "Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you. I want to find Lang Chang because I suspect that he knows my life experience!"
"What?!" Dongfangze opened his eyes in surprise.
"Aunt Jingwan told me before she died that I was not my father's biological daughter! My mother-in-law was already pregnant before she met my father. Because the saint could not get married and have children, she decided to stay away from Bian Kingdom in order to save me. "
Dongfangze was stunned. Everyone knows that Li Fengxian, the regent of the Sheng Kingdom, is very affectionate towards the regent princess and loves his beloved daughter Lisu like a treasure. Who would have thought that Lisu is not Li Fengxian's biological daughter? ! Dongfangze sighed in surprise and couldn't help but secretly admire Li Fengxian in his heart.
Su Li continued: "I don't know why, but my mother and concubine were not able to be together with my biological father. But I went to the hut where they lived and found a portrait. The seal pattern on it was the same as that of Lang. The jade pendant Chang gave me has exactly the same pattern. My mother-in-law must have loved my father so much that she left such a poem behind the portrait. For more than ten years, my mother-in-law suffered a lot to protect me, and she died in depression. I want to find My biological father, please ask me what happened back then." As she said that, she took out the jade pendant from her waist. The complex and exquisite patterns on it must not be copied.
Seeing that the jade pendant was of extraordinary quality, Dongfangze was slightly stunned and said, "Do you suspect that your biological father is from the royal family of Dingguo?"
Su Li shook his head in confusion, "I don't know. This jade pendant was given by Lang Chang. If I find him, I might be able to get some clues about my father."
Dongfang Ze wondered: "If Lang Chang knew about it, why didn't he mention it before?"
Su Li thought for a while, "Perhaps, he is not sure whether I am the person he is looking for? After all, both my mother and Li Su have passed away."
Dongfang Ze lowered his eyes sadly, and every time he mentioned Li Su, his heart felt like a needle pricking him. I couldn't help but hold her hand and said guiltily: "Susu, I'm sorry!"
Seeing that he was feeling guilty and sad, Su Li's heart hurt slightly, and she sighed softly: "It's all over..."
Dongfangze hugged her and pressed his cheek against her black hair: "I will accompany you to find him."
Su Li was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. You have been away from Sheng for a long time. It's time to go back. I once made an appointment with Lang Chang and went to Dingguo. He will definitely treat me with courtesy, no matter what. Whether or not the search for your family is fruitful, I will come back to you. Trust me."
She looked up at him, her dark eyes bright and clear. His mind was wandering and he couldn't help but said: "I believe you. But, I don't want you to leave my side."
He and she had just opened up their hearts, let go of the past, and exchanged sincerity, but they were about to separate again in the blink of an eye. How could he let go? But she was right in her thinking. As an emperor, being away from his country for a long time and drifting away would make people's hearts uncertain, which would inevitably lead to trouble.
Su Li smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely go back in half a year at most."
Dongfangze was silent for a moment: "Half a year is too long, three months! If you don't come back within three months, I will look for you."
Su Li sighed and nodded helplessly. He raised his hand and stroked the hair beside her ear. His reluctant eyes lingered on her beautiful face inch by inch, and he sighed reluctantly: "Susu, don't make me wait too long."
Su Li held his hand, raised her face and kissed him gently on the lips, "See you later." Suddenly she turned around and walked away lightly.
In the distance, a ray of light dyed the sky red, as gorgeous as flowers in bloom, and unparalleled in beauty.
He stared at her retreating back and murmured in his heart: "See you soon."
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
A while ago I was wondering, is it more annoying to write this article so slowly than to end it hastily? Yesterday, I heard from a friend that he reads a lot of books, and what he hates the most is that the author writes a bad book. He said that the books he likes are like Eunuchs, and at least he still has expectations, but the bad ending ruins the whole story. I felt extremely ashamed that I had ever thought of ending this story quickly.
Now at least I am still writing with my heart, and you are also waiting patiently. Even if there are occasional abuses in the comment area, I will not mind it. No matter what the reason is, it is definitely my fault to stop updating. As for the development of the story, it may not be to your liking, but I have my own reasons for this arrangement. If you are not pleased with it, I would like to express my regrets and apology.
The update of the Bianguo chapter has been completed. I am very ashamed but have to say that I am not sure how long I will have to wait for the update of the Dingguo chapter. I have deleted all the tens of thousands of words I wrote during this period due to dissatisfaction. I still need to reset some things and start writing again, so I have to stop updating again! For those of you who don’t want to wait any longer, please consider this one the finale, thank you~
