"ah!!!"
Different from the scream just now, it was miserable and unwilling.
Under the cold moonlight, the glistening sword body was stained with warm blood, just like its owner, as ruthless as Shura who was seeking his life.
The night wind blew, and when the lantern swayed, the weak light just shone on his face. His eyes, which were darker than the night, showed cold-blooded and decisive killing.
By the way, a weak light shone over the woman. The woman opened her mouth and screamed, but she couldn't make a sound. The bright red blood flowed like a fountain.
Fu Yuanxiao stared at the scene blankly and didn't react for a long time.
Xiao Ji looked at the woman kneeling on the ground coldly. She was a good-looking maid, but she was the emperor's spy. If he hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"This king is giving you one last chance. Who is it that you are meeting with?"
The maid was so painful that she could not speak. Her eyes were full of fear as she looked at Xiao Ji in front of her, as if she could not believe that this was the legendary and romantic King Yu.
Liu Yun sensed that the maid was about to faint and said, "My lord, I see that she is about to faint."
Xiao Ji sneered, "Then gouge out her eyes and make her sober."
"It's the prince," Liu Yun took out the dagger, raised the cold-gleaming blade in his hand expressionlessly, and raised the knife with his hand.
The maid let out a miserable cry from her throat and passed out.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yun raised his head and looked at the prince, "Your Majesty, I'm really dizzy now."
Xiao's eyes like a cold pool glanced at the maid on the ground, "Throw it to the mass grave to feed the wolves."
Liuyun responded: "It's the prince."
"Princess!" When Xu Yan rushed over, he saw Fu Yuanxiao standing there. Needless to say, he guessed that Fu Yuanxiao had seen this scene, so he reminded the prince on the third day of the Han Dynasty.
Xiao Ji stiffened when he heard this, turned around and looked behind him, and saw a petite figure standing less than two feet away from the pavilion.
Under the soft moonlight, the girl's face was a little pale, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes looked at him without blinking. Under her thick eyebrows, the moonlight formed a shadow, making it difficult to see her eyes clearly at this time.
He could guess that there were frightened eyes under the shadows.
Xiao Ji couldn't help but clenched the long sword in his hand and walked towards her. Thinking that his appearance might scare her, his steps became hesitant.
"Xia'er."
Fu Yuanxiao's body froze in place, looking at the man slowly walking over, his eyes looking at the sword in his hand. The closer the distance, the stronger the smell of blood.
Xiao Ji noticed that Fu Yuanxiao was looking at the sword in his hand, and subconsciously threw the sword out, as if the sword did not belong to him.
The long sword made of cold iron weighed a hundred kilograms. The moment it hit the ground, it made a heavy sound, which was particularly frightening in the night.
Xu Yan was stunned when he saw this scene. After following the prince for so long, this was the first time he saw the prince throw away his sword.
Xiao Ji slowly walked to a place ten feet away from Fu Yuanxiao and stopped. His slender figure would block the moonlight and shroud her in a shadow.
At the same time, it also blocks the pavilion behind it.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the frightened Fu Yuanxiao. He did not dare to get closer for fear of scaring her.
Fu Yuanxiao's body seemed to be frozen there, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
Looking at Xiao Ji who suddenly stopped, she stared blankly at the man in front of her who was carrying the moonlight, and then glanced at the long sword that Xiao Ji had thrown away. The moonlight shone on the blade, shining coldly.
Xiao Ji opened her mouth, "Xiao'er, why are you here?"
"I..." Fu Yuanxiao glanced around. It was pitch black and there was nothing except the sound of wind.
She withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiao Ji, "You just..."
She had just witnessed Xiao Ji holding a long sword and destroying the maid's face. A piece of her good face was gouged off.
She had seen all kinds of ghosts, but she was still frightened.
"Why do you do that?"
Xiao Ji never thought of letting her see him like this. Today, she saw him and felt a little uneasy.
"Let's go back first."
Xiao Ji said, reaching out to grab her hand, as if he was afraid that she would shrink back, quickly and accurately.
Fu Yuanxiao looked back at the pavilion. Liuyun had already taken away the fainted maid, and she knew that the maid was not dead yet, but she would die soon.
She squeezed Xiao Ji's hand, "Do you really want to feed her to the wolves?"
Xiao Ji paused and looked down at her. She was raising her head, her eyes filled with confusion and more shock.
"She deserves to die."
After Xiao Ji finished speaking, he held her hand tightly and continued walking back.
Fu Yuanxiao looked back again and found that Liu Yun's figure had disappeared. Looking at the dark night, he could not even catch Liu Yun's tail.
You were there just now, why did you disappear in the blink of an eye?
At the door of the study, Baozhu looked at the closed study with confusion and worry.
Just now she saw that the prince's face looked very bad.
Will the girl make the prince angry again?
She looked at Xu Yan who was as calm as a pine and asked, "Mr. Xu, will my girl be okay? The prince seems unhappy."
Xu Yan heard the words and reassured her: "Princess will be fine, don't worry."
"Really?" Baozhu looked at the closed study door, still very worried in his heart. The girl is not as good at making men happy as other women. What if she makes the prince angry again?
In the study room, there were only two people, Xiao Ji and Fu Yuanxiao, standing in front of the desk, so quietly they could hear each other's heartbeats.
After a long silence, Xiao Ji spoke: "Xiao'er, forget everything you just saw."
The unquestionable tone made Fu Yuanxiao even more confused, "You haven't told me why you did that."
Xiao Ji said: "You don't need to know the specific reason, you just need to know that she deserves to die."
Fu Yuanxiao retorted: "No one deserves to die. I just want to know the reason, but you don't want to tell me. You don't want to say anything."
Xiao Ji looked at her quietly, listening to her dissatisfied tone. There was no complaint, only grievance.
Facing Fu Yuanxiao, who didn't understand anything, it was no longer possible to coax her as before.
He couldn't tell her the reason why he did it.
Too dangerous.
Fu Yuanxiao raised her head and looked at Xiao Ji, who was a head taller than herself. I wonder if it was her imagination, but she always felt that Xiao Ji had grown taller again.
"Don't you like me?"
Fu Yuanxiao had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he never had the chance.
This was the only reason she could think of.
Only if you don't like it will you be reluctant to say anything.
Xiao Ji was startled when he heard this, and almost without hesitation he hugged her into his arms, stroking her soft hair one after another with his big hands, and comforted her in a low voice: "Xiao'er, don't think too much, how could I not?" like you?"
Fu Yuanxiao's face was close to his chest. She, the Rabbit, raised her head and looked at him, "You like me, why are you hiding it from me?"
Xiao Ji looked down at the person in his arms. From this angle, he could see her clear eyes, which were full of grievances. He said warmly: "Xiao'er, if I don't say anything, I will naturally have my reasons."
"Is this all you can say?"
Xiao Ji looked at her quietly, thinking that when she first married into the palace, she believed everything he said.
Now, she had to question everything he said.
"What I say is only good for you, not harmful. If I don't tell you this, it's not because I don't like you. Don't think too much about it."
Fu Yuanxiao lowered her eyes, knowing that Xiao Ji didn't want to say anything.
"You are the prince."
Xiao Ji looked at her doubtfully when he heard this, and heard her say: "Are you vying for the throne?"
When Fu Yuanxiao asked this question, he raised his head and looked at him, waiting for his answer.
Xiao Ji frowned when he heard this, and a cold and cold light flashed in his eyes, "Who told you?"
No one told her and she couldn't possibly know.
Fu Yuanxiao did not answer, but continued to ask: "By marrying Tang Wanqing, do you want to win over Tang Xiangguo?"
When Xiao Ji heard this, there was a hint of panic in her eyes. Who told her this?
He grabbed Fu Yuanxiao's hand and said, "Xiao'er, who told you?"
Fu Yuanxiao said: "No one told me, you just need to tell me, is what I said right?"
Xiao Ji couldn't believe that no one told her that she didn't understand anything, so how could she understand this?
Someone must have told her on purpose.
"Xiao'er, these are all nonsense said by others, don't believe it."
Fu Yuanxiao corrected: "No one else said it, I thought of it myself. If princes want to compete for the throne, they will marry the daughters of ministers, so that they will help him. Am I right?"
Xiao Ji was stunned.
Fu Yuanxiao said again: "You have never told me why you want to marry Tang Wanqing. In my eyes, only people who like someone will think of marrying her. But if you don't like her, then why marry her? Not to let her Will Xiangguo help you?"
Xiao Ji's face turned gloomy after hearing this, and he hugged Fu Yuanxiao into his arms again. In a place where she couldn't see, a murderous intention flashed in his eyes that were like a deep pool.
"Xiao'er, don't think nonsense, these are all nonsense."
"Isn't it?" Fu Yuanxiao paused here, "You are the prince and have the right to compete for the throne, but..."
Fu Yuanxiao pursed his lips. What he heard from the storyteller should be very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will...
She didn't dare to continue thinking.
Xiao Ji also said that he was doing something dangerous.
"Xiao'er, don't think about this." Xiao Ji didn't want to continue this topic, let alone let her know what she was doing.
Her world should be clean, simple, without undercurrents or bloodshed.
"I will send you back."
Xiao Ji held her hand, opened the study door and walked out.
Fu Yuanxiao was like a child, letting him lead her out.
When Baozhu saw Fu Yuanxiao come out safely, with the prince holding his hand, Baozhu finally fell to the ground with his heart in his hands.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
On the way back, I was speechless.
Fu Yuanxiao looked at the moon above her head, hanging on the treetops like a jade plate. She then looked at Xiao Ji, whose face under the moonlight could not be seen clearly.
Xiao Ji still didn't want to say anything.
Xiao Ji walked at a steady pace, with a seemingly calm face, but he was indeed uneasy in his heart.
Fu Yuanxiao knew that this was not a good thing.
She doesn't know anything, just in case she is targeted by someone with intentions.
Good night, babies!
