"The man told her that the python is a different species from humans. It is cold-blooded by nature and does not understand human nature. It does not eat or drink because it intends to eat the woman as food after its stomach is empty."
After Yuan Xingzhou heard this, his pale white lips suddenly tightened into a straight line. His eyes were dark and cold, and his two gazes were particularly poisonous.
But Zheng Quchi was immersed in his thoughts and didn't notice so much at all.
After Yuan Xingzhou was silent for a long time, his voice was almost like an angry laugh, and he said softly and strangely: "Really? Do you think that Yu Wensheng is like this python, and one day he will turn his back on others and lose his humanity to attack you? Is it right?"
Zheng Quchi remained silent.
It's obviously the default.
He seemed to have a wave of resentment blocking his chest, and his long neck leaned forward slightly. He unconsciously wanted his breath to infect her whole body and become his possession. He bit every word very hard: "He will not hurt you again." ”
After hearing this, Zheng Quchi said in a complex tone: "I know, he is dead now."
Yuan Xingzhou didn't mean that, but he didn't refute her words, but there was a layer of morbid gloom between his brows that was difficult to distinguish between true and false: "When he was alive, he didn't see you missing any arms or legs. What's wrong with you?" Is every piece of meat intact?"
Zheng Quchi choked when she heard this. She finally noticed something was wrong and raised her head to look at him.
The poison in Yuan Xingzhou's eyes seemed to be implanted on a certain occasion. When she looked at it, it was like the gathering fog. It came and dispersed quickly and silently.
There was nothing strange about that pale, world-weary face.
"You don't understand. Although he hasn't hurt me intentionally, it doesn't mean that I can trust him..."
In her understanding, a person may temporarily hide his nature and behavior for a whim, but it cannot be hidden for a lifetime. Just like the python, it is a cold-blooded animal that is murderous and cruel by nature. The woman Looking at it from a human perspective, she thought that as long as she was close to it and was good enough to it, she could change its nature and let it have human feelings without hurting her. But what was the result?
Yuan Xingzhou really couldn't understand her thoughts about Yu Wensheng. He asked her, "Have you said these words to him before?"
Zheng Quchi was stunned for a moment, and then asked doubtfully: "Why should I tell him this?"
"Then why can you tell this to me?" He asked again.
Zheng Quchi thought for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer: "Perhaps His Royal Highness happened to be standing in front of me, and I happened to be in a bad mood, so I wanted to find someone to talk to."
Yuan Xingzhou liked the flaw in her confusion that was revealed at this moment, because in this way, he could take advantage of it.
"Then do you want to hear my opinion?"
Her light brown eyes were like a butterfly flapping its wings, slowly closing its wings to rest on his charming petals that exuded a strange fragrance, unaware of the danger or the greedy and nibbling thoughts of the other person.
"I guess the reason you don't trust is not him as a person, but the way he treats you, right?"
Zheng Quchi was startled, and then the waves caused by these words rippled in her pupils.
But Yuan Xingzhou was not satisfied with her little heart-wrenching response. He asked for more, more...
"Zheng Quchi, the gap and barrier between you does not exist in him or your identities, but in your eyes and in your heart. It is you who built a wall specifically for him and did not allow him to come in. You won't let yourself step out and change to another person, even if it is my son, a person who has just met you, you can open your heart, but you will always have a stubborn prejudice against you and your husband."
"Am I... biased against him?"
While Zheng Quchi was thinking, he frowned and tilted his head, following the determination in his eyes, as if Yuan Xingzhou's meaningful words made him doubt himself.
There seemed to be two whirlpools of confusion in his eyes, and he calmly guided her to open her heart: "He is not that python, and you are not that woman."
Yes, she always looked at Yu Wensheng with such a biased attitude and wished she could stay away from him. Sometimes she would be frightened by the sinister paranoia in his eyes, although he usually hid it very well. , pretending to be harmless.
Why do you think he looks like a python?
Because pythons are creatures that never know enough, even the way they express their love is a selfish and cruel behavior. They will only wrap around their favorite prey tighter and tighter until the prey suffocates due to lack of oxygen. And his body was twisted into a knot...
How terrible, thinking about it, she felt that she might not be able to bear such a sick and dark love.
If this is love.
Zheng Quchi's eyes returned to silence little by little, and she said: "Your Highness, if people's hearts can be changed, then there won't be so many difficulties in this world. If I really exchange my hot heart for his difference, But in the end, it was discovered that he was a heartless person..."
Yuan Xingzhou intercepted her words. Because of her cold heart, she could no longer act as a trader calmly. His tone was a little angry: "Are you so sure that he has no heart? What if...he... Have you grown a heart?"
Thinking of how he protected her and saved her again and again in the Julu Kingdom, Zheng Quchi's heart felt like wet cotton, sore, swollen and heavy, and he became mute. Now everyone is dead. She suddenly felt that it was meaningless for her and Yuan Xingzhou to talk about these things now.
Yuan Xingzhou also discovered that Zheng Quchi might be born with a lack of love.
"Zheng Quchi, you should be the one who has no heart." The wave of rebellion on Yuan Xingzhou receded quietly.
Zheng Quchi is not heartless, it’s just that she looks cheerful and out of shape more often, but she always has a threshold in her heart that has been calculated long ago. What it protects is her persistence and bottom line. .
She just wants an ordinary relationship, a dutiful marriage. Those earth-shattering and heart-breaking relationships in TV series or TV series may sound enviable, but she doesn't yearn for it. She just wants to Focus on your studies and your career, and then your husband and family will be together, and you can work hard to save more for your family.
If a love interest like Yu Wensheng hadn't been accidentally killed, she wouldn't have gotten involved, because he was far from the future spouse she imagined.
But her thoughts are her thoughts, and she doesn't expect others to understand them.
"It's not that I don't mean it, it's just that the past cannot be recalled, and no one can turn back time. Now I just want to work hard to get his body back. Just thinking that he is still in the hands of those in Julu Kingdom makes me choke. It's in the throat, like a awn on the back, making it impossible to sleep at night, and food tastes bad."
At the beginning, Yu Wensheng married into their Zheng family. After all, he was actually a member of their Zheng family. How could she bear to have others humiliate his body even after his death?
Hearing her bitter words, Yuan Xingzhou felt that she was not as indifferent to Yu Wensheng as she said.
Or maybe she has "changed her past" now, but she just lacks a chance?
After thinking about it like this, Yuan Xingzhou's mood improved slightly. A faint dark red gradually appeared at the end of his slightly raised eyes, and he asked tentatively: "Zheng Quchi, if you could do it again, , or if Yu Wensheng is not dead yet——"
"That's not necessary." Zheng Quchi replied decisively.
Yuan Xingzhou's breath was blocked in his chest: "..."
He sneered from the bottom of his heart. She was so desperate to protect him even though he was dead. But she wasn't happy that he was still alive?
Could it be that Ye Gong is not a dragon? A good husband is like a dragon but not a dragon?
Seeing Yuan Xingzhou's pale face under the sudden shadow, she explained: "Don't get me wrong, what I mean is that people cannot be resurrected after death. Your Highness does not need to assume this specifically to comfort me. I am not that fragile. By the way, I have received the gold seal of the three armies, and I want to leave immediately for the Ordnance Supervision. Your Highness has made such a big bet for the Six Nations Trial Troops, and Qu Chi will definitely go all out."
She cheered up so quickly that Yuan Xingzhou thought that the fragile and sentimental emotions she had just shown for her late husband were fake.
Bubbles are all bubbles, and they break up when the wind blows.
She saluted him and said, "Your Highness, the ruler will take his leave first."
Yuan Xingzhou didn't want to say a word: "..."
A stubborn, stone-hearted woman.

After Zheng Quchi left, Yuan Xingzhou turned around and climbed onto the throne of the main hall step by step. He opened his robes, turned around and sat down leisurely. He put his chin on his hand and stroked the corners of his pale lips with his index finger, slowly A slow and enchanting scarlet stained her lips.
With a pale and bloodless face and shockingly red lips, he closed his lips and said, "Li Gang, how long are you going to hide there?"
From behind the thick and smooth green curtain, a slightly fat figure hurriedly walked out.
His face was white and hairless, but the grooves at the ends of his eyes and corners of his mouth showed that he was no longer young. He put his fly whisk on his arm, bent over and knelt on the ground, his posture was unprecedentedly respectful and surrendering.
"This servant dare not show up until Your Highness summons you."
Yuan Xingzhou's eyes slid past him and fell outside the hall: "Li Gang, do you still remember where your name comes from?"
"My servant remembers that His Highness took it personally."
"After so many years, you have accomplished what you promised and climbed to your current position."
"Thank you for your support, Your Highness. If the eunuch chief eunuch who was the most trusted around King Ye had not died, I'm afraid it would have taken some time for me to become King Ye's most personal person."
"Li Gang, don't let King Ye die too early. I still have some very important things to ask him."
"Your Highness, it's just the queen's side..."
"Don't worry about her. I'm afraid she doesn't have the heart to focus on a person who was drugged by her and will die soon. The person she wants to get rid of most now is my son."
"Your Highness, this servant knows what to do."
"Back off."
"yes."
After Li Gang stepped down the steps, he looked back and saw a young man in military armor, a man in palace guard robes, and a man in government soldier uniform entering the hall together. Then the palace door was closed from the inside.
Li Gang recalled for a moment and remembered who those three were.
One is Lieutenant Wang Feichen who leads the imperial troops, Guard Zhao Deyu who guards the Changxu soldiers in the capital, and the Guards led by Yu Linwei Pang Min.
Normally, it would be impossible for the chiefs of these three departments to get together, but this time a Six Nations military trial brought these various military units that perform their respective duties together. Now that they are entering the palace to see His Highness, it must be for discussion. It’s about the Six Nations military test.
The little eunuch following behind saw Manager Li stopping and not moving away, his eyebrows were deep in thought, and he couldn't help but asked strangely: "Manager Li, what's wrong?"
Li Gang retracted his thoughts, shook his head, and said: "I just feel that it seems to be a lot clearer today..."
Hearing this, the little eunuch subconsciously raised his head: "Really? But, it's rainy today, but it will definitely be sunny tomorrow."
Li Gang smiled: "Yes, it will eventually stop raining and the sky will clear up. Let's go."
The little eunuch always felt that there was something in Mr. Li's words, but he didn't understand what he meant for the moment. He could only follow him and echoed: "Well, Mr. Li is right, there will always be sunshine after the rain."
——
Ordnance Inspector
The drizzle of light rain fell densely from the hazy sky diagonally, wetting several loquat trees planted next to the high maroon wall. The guard was staring at the puddle not far away in a daze when he suddenly heard the sound of someone treading water. "There was a sound, and I immediately raised my head alertly, only to see a woman coming holding an umbrella.
The rain gradually became heavier, and the front was covered with gray. The rain was blown by the wind like smoke, mist, and dust, and even the figure of the woman became blurry.
They frowned and stopped shouting: "The weapons prison is ahead of us. No one can get close to it. Please avoid it!"
This sound was righteous and awe-inspiring, meaning a stern warning. If ordinary people heard it, they would panic and run away. However, the other party seemed not to hear it and kept walking straight towards him. It didn't look like he had entered by mistake.
Seeing this scene, the guards in the weapons inspection department did not continue.
After they got closer, the guards saw clearly that the person who came was a young woman with a woman's hair in a bun. She was holding an oil umbrella with plum blossoms and a white background. She was slightly forward, and her facial features could not be seen clearly. But the clothes on her body seemed to have some origins. They hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who is coming? Can you tell me your name?"
The woman paused and raised her head. She looked at the plaque "Arms Supervisor" above her. The rain fell from the umbrella like a curtain and fell behind her, soaking the uppers of her shoes.
She signed up truthfully: "Zheng Quchi."
"Zheng Quchi?" This name was very unfamiliar. They filtered through the surnames of officials in the court in their minds, but they had never heard of any young lady with this name.
But no matter who she is, she cannot set foot in the "Arms Monitor" at will.
"Madam, please leave quickly. This is an important military area and no idlers can approach it. If you insist on refusing to leave, then we can only act according to the rules."
They thought that if they said this, the woman would be afraid to leave, but she suddenly said: "Were the guns in your hands designed by the weapons inspector?"
They were stunned.
She seemed a little disappointed and added: "The ratio of the blade to the handle is wrong. The angle of refraction of the blade shows that it is not sharp enough. Although it is blunt, it is not hard enough. The gun is made of wood and lacks strength and toughness. It cannot sprint at all." Along with the lethality, can’t we choose a better material to make the gun body?”
