"Your Majesty!" Just when she was about to lose her support, Li Yao's surprised voice came from above her head, "Your Majesty, please save Sister Su..."
no respond.
Her hands gradually left the stone slab, the wind blew past her ears, and her body fell quickly. When she was almost in despair, a tall figure suddenly flashed in front of her eyes. Someone grabbed her waist and lifted her up, and her delicate body was immediately drawn into a warm embrace. The man's breath stirred silently in his ears, and the man's chest rose and fell violently, as if he was frightened and angry, and as if he was afraid that the most important thing in his life would leave him.
Su Li couldn't help turning her head to look. The man's stern brows and eyes were somewhat blurred as he jumped rapidly. The hands around her waist were so tight that it was difficult for her to breathe. Until she was brought to a safe place, those hands still did not loosen. open.
"Sister Su..." Li Yao rushed over quickly, choking and crying before she could say a word. The coachman standing aside was even more frightened and trembling.
The man finally let go of her, stood up and looked at the broken carriage and horse at the bottom of the cliff. The gravel rolled down from the mountain was as big as a stone plate. His thick eyebrows suddenly wrinkled and he ordered in a deep voice: "Wang An, go Go up the mountain and see what’s going on.”
The bodyguard Wang An responded and left. Su Li took a few breaths and quickly comforted Li Yao before standing up. She cast her eyes on the familiar handsome face across from him. He was obviously the person she hated the most, but he saved her life at a critical moment. She couldn't tell how she felt in her heart.
"Thank you, King Jing'an, for your rescue!" With thousands of emotions in her heart, she lowered her head and saluted, her tone calm and smooth.
Dongfang Zhuo didn't say anything. He tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, pulled her bleeding finger, and wrapped it tightly. Then he took a look at the injuries on her body, and without saying a word, he picked her up on the horse without any resistance, and was about to turn the horse's head back to the city. Su Li's heart sank, and she quickly turned around and said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment!"
The cold breath hit his face instantly, Dongfang Zhuo's face was as heavy as water, and he said angrily: "Where else do you want to go like this? You forgot what I told you that day, don't run around if you are not well. It's only been a few days, and you've..." Anger couldn't stop surging in his chest. He stared at her and didn't say anything.
.
Su Li felt his strong anger and couldn't understand where his anger came from. His tone was as if she was a disobedient child next to him! Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes gradually became cold involuntarily. She heard Dongfang Zhuo say again: "If I hadn't arrived in time today, you would have been buried here. You only have one life, and once you die, you will live again." It’s over... you know what?”
His voice was a little excited, and there was an almost imperceptible tremor. Two points of vague pain were tightly locked between his eyebrows. His eyes were complicated, and he wished he could stare into her heart from her face.
Su Li looked at her and suddenly smiled softly. There is only one life for a person, but God gave her a second life, just to let her come back and see how he will regret it in the future! Although he saved her today, it cannot offset the hatred and harm he once brought her!
"Your Majesty is right. From now on, I will cherish my life even more and try to avoid putting myself in danger again! Thank you very much for your life-saving grace today. Su Li is a person with a clear sense of grudges. Everything you have given me by your Majesty will come to you." One day, I will repay them one by one." Including kindness, including hatred... one day, she will repay everything with interest.
She said with a smile, her tone sounded very gentle, and there was no hint of hostility or indifference. However, Dongfang Zhuo's eyebrows twitched unconsciously, and there was a vague uneasiness in his heart, but he did not delve into it, and only gave what she said. Think of it as the things he gave her, as well as the string of Fuyun beads. So he lowered his head to look, only to find that his white wrist was empty. His eyes darkened, he grabbed her hand and asked, "Where's the Fuyun Pearl? Why don't you wear it? Are you simply turning a deaf ear to what I said?"
Su Li's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and replied: "My lord, please calm down, the Fuyun Pearl is a treasure in this world, and the lord has your heart so much, how can I not like it! It's just... because it's too precious, I don't dare to wear it on my hand, I'm afraid that if I accidentally damage the treasure, I would be very sorry for the prince's thoughts!" After saying that, he quietly raised his eyes, Dongfang Zhuo's cold face had softened a lot.
"You don't have to worry about that. I ask you to wear it, so just wear it. As long as you don't destroy it intentionally, I won't blame you!" He let go of her hand, put his strong arm around her body, grabbed the reins, and pulled the reins. The woman is trapped in front of her.
Su Li frowned secretly, his aura was so overbearing, so overbearing that when she saw him, she couldn't help but think of the shame and harm he had brought to her. She wanted to get out of his arms, but her reason told her that it was not appropriate to anger him at this time, so she could only secretly squeeze her palms and remain silent.
Dongfang Zhuo suddenly lowered his head in good temper and asked, "Where were you going just now?"
Before Su Li could answer, Li Yao said first: "Go back to the prince, we are going to the princess's tomb."
. "
Dongfang Zhuo's expression suddenly changed, as if he just realized that Li Yao was standing next to him! Staring at Su Li, he asked: "You are a daughter of the prime minister's house, what are you doing there?"
Su Li said calmly: "Yao'er said that today is the princess' Sanqi, and she wants to go to the grave to pay homage to her as a filial piety for the princess. Today is the first day that Yao'er and I recognize each other as sisters, so I want to accompany her. Go. Please grant your permission."
"You... recognized the sisters?" Dongfang frowned and looked at Li Yao suspiciously. When Li Yao nodded in confirmation, his eyes became more complicated when he looked at her again. He raised his hand to brush away the hair that fell on her left cheek, and stared silently at the red birthmark covered by the hair for a long time, as if confirming something, and then said after a while: "Your injury... really doesn't matter?"
Su Li shook her head gently. Although the pain in her body and mind made her want to tremble, she still had a relaxed smile on her face. When the mother-in-law’s funeral was held, she didn’t even know what day it was! As the mother's only child, it was extremely unfilial to cause her mother to die tragically. Now that her mother was buried, she could not go to pay homage to avoid arousing suspicion due to her status, which was even more unfilial. This time was a rare opportunity, how could she miss it just because of this injury
Sitting up straight, she suddenly turned over and dismounted when he was not prepared. After all, the injury was too severe. This originally neat movement almost caused her to fall to the ground. Reluctantly standing up straight, the look above her head was full of anger. Before he could get angry, she said quickly: "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty! Su Li... I have a grudge, I hope Your Majesty can lend us a Horse."
"You know how to ride a horse?" Dongfang Zhuo was quite surprised.
Su Li lowered her eyes and said, "I can barely get on the road."
Dongfang Zhuo said: "Then you'd better come up, I will give you a ride."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but Su Li..."
"You dare to refuse this king?"
"Su Li doesn't dare."
"Come up when I ask you to, there are so many excuses!" He finally lost his patience, stretched out his hand towards her and gave the order, with an unhappy look on his face, as if if she dared to say another word "no", he would attract the wrath of thunder.
At this time, a man galloped up the hillside and shouted: "Your Majesty! Someone pushed down that stone on purpose!"
Everyone was shocked, but Dongfang Zhuo said urgently: "Who is so vicious?"
Wang An rolled off his horse and stepped forward to report: "When I went up to the top of the mountain, I found someone escaping to the woods on the back mountain. There were wear marks on the cliffs caused by big rocks. The point where they fell was exactly the road the carriage passed.
. So the subordinates speculated that the stone that hit the carriage must have been done intentionally. It's just that the man escaped too quickly, and his subordinates... didn't catch him in time. I hope the prince will forgive me. "
Dongfang Zhuo said angrily: "How courageous! Zhao Xun and Wang An immediately sent people to pursue the murderer with all their strength. No matter life or death, there will be a reward for catching him!"
Wang An responded and left, but Su Li's heart became heavier. Li Yao became even more frightened and murmured: "How is it possible? I, I came to pay homage to the princess today, not many people know about it."
Su Li thought deeply: "Has Yao'er ever mentioned it to anyone?"
Li Yao shook his head, "No, I didn't even tell my father. I went out today to visit Sister Su. I just saw that it was still early, so I decided to come to pay homage to the princess. Sister Su and Yao'er went out together, even if it was No one in the prime minister's house asked about my sister's whereabouts."
Su Li frowned. If Li Yao had never mentioned coming to the princess's tomb, she had never told anyone, including Mo Xiang, who was the one who plotted the plot... With a thought in her mind, she couldn't help but look at the coachman. Before he could speak, Dongfang Zhuo shouted: "Come here, take down this thief!"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Regarding Li Yao, I want to say a few words here.
Some people think that Li Yao is a villain, and they find it hard to understand when the heroine treats Li Yao well. In fact, this is very simple. They are sisters. Although they have the same father and mother, they are also close relatives. Their relationship for more than ten years is extraordinary. Just like in life, if we are wrongly accused and framed, the first thing that comes to mind is the outsider who has a conflict of interest with us, not the close relatives around us! Who is her murderer will be revealed later, so please be patient.
Su Li is not a holy mother. She has died once. She can be cold-hearted, but she does not deny her relatives. So far, Li Yao seems to have never done anything that really warrants her suspicion. She loves her sister as a matter of course, but love does not mean that she is completely defenseless! Not telling others your true identity is a way of protecting yourself and distrusting others.
