[Zhili] stick to this one heart and never leave

A Qiong hugged a brocade quilt, pushed open the door of the study, and saw Zhi Ming sitting in front of the desk reading a book.

"It's already the fourth watch. Your Majesty will go to court tomorrow, so you should rest earlier." Arjun reminded.

Zhi Ming put down the book, rubbed the bridge of his nose with his thumb and index finger, his face was also stained with tiredness, "How is he?"

Aqiong knew that the only one Zhiming was worried about was the Lord Murong, so he replied, "The little one has already been served by Ah Hua, and the Lord has already rested in His Majesty's bedroom."

Zhi Ming nodded in satisfaction, tapped the scroll with his fingers, and asked in thought, "Ah Qiong, why do you think Ah Li cares so much about that Geng Chen?"

Arjun, who was making Zhiming's bed, paused for a moment, and then smiled, "I don't know, it's just..." Arjun glanced at Zhiming from the corner of his eyes, quickly retracted it, and continued to tidy up while replying, "It's just the little one. I think Lord Murong and His Majesty are the same people."

"The same person?" Zhi Ming was puzzled.

"Such a gentle person." Arjun made the bed, got up and walked to Zhi Ming and said with a smile, "If someone who was born and died for His Majesty was in trouble, His Majesty would also be anxious, wouldn't he?"

There is indeed some truth in what Arjun said, and Zhiming calmed down a little, but... Ah Li has always been cold-hearted when it comes to schemes, is it really so simple for Gengchen to him?

The reason why he returned late today is because he went to the prison.

In the dark and deep prison, the occasional wailing and the chattering of rats make people more and more frightened as they go inside.Except for those soldiers on duty in the dungeon, this kind of place is something that no one would want to enter once in his life.Zhiming has entered this kind of place twice in his life, the first time he was a prisoner, in order to avoid General Wei's eyeliner.The second time, he asked his teacher to inquire about the crime and killed Gen Mochi in the prison of another country.

Walking step by step, full of bad memories, Zhi Ming couldn't help frowning, if it was an ordinary assassin, he wouldn't even bother to interrogate him, he would just kill him, but this man...

Zhiming always felt that he couldn't kill him, although he was reluctant to admit it, but Zhiming knew that this person had something to do with Murong.

Yesterday, he easily heard a bit of Murongli from Ding Yuan's words. When he visited the academy for the first time, he had already heard the strategy described by Ding Yuan. They will not ignore him and recommend Su Tong, Xun Hui and his ilk.Although Ding Yuan has potential, his wisdom cannot make rapid progress in one day.

So he asked Ding Yuan if he was the only one who planned this strategy. Ding Yuan lied, even if it was only for a slight moment, he couldn't escape his eyes. The reason why he didn't expose him was because he didn't think Ding Yuan was On purpose.For some reason, the moment he was sure that Ding Yuan was hiding something from him, he didn't feel the slightest anger of being cheated, instead, only one person's name appeared in his heart.Except for the person who lives in Xunyou Terrace, he can't think of anyone else who can give advice from Ding Yuan's strategy and help him achieve a hundred miles of talent overnight, but refuses to let him know. Who cares about him so far.

Murongli, thinking of this person's name is a game that he cannot escape or win in his life.

Coming out of the academy, he went to see Ziyu.There are too many things hidden in his heart, and he can only tell a thing or two to this close friend who is separated by yin and yang. He wants to ask Ziyu for forgiveness, and he has been going around for a long time. He doesn't want to care about what Murongli has done in the past anymore. .

The cruelty towards Murongli was only limited to those days when that person first woke up. Zhiming now thinks whether he hates Murongli who only has Yao Guang in his heart, or hates his merciless strike with the sword that almost caused them to die forever. Seeing each other again, even he himself can't figure it out.

Zhi Ming also felt that Murong Li was becoming more and more different from what he thought. He thought Murong Li would hate him and even want to kill him, but he never even pushed him away. However, no matter whether he was afraid or embarrassed, he let him go. He was so submissive. He really wasn't like the Lord Murong, who had already planned his life and death, and the rise and fall of his country, while chatting and drinking.

At the beginning, he would warn himself to be wary of him, but after only half a year, he was completely defeated when he confronted that person.It's that kind of submissiveness that always makes him unbearable, it's that kind of reticence that makes him feel bad.Even though he knew in his heart that that person might just see through his heart and pretended to be like this, he admitted it, the only thing he asked was for Murong Li to have some sincerity and not to hurt Tianquan again.

He hadn't been able to kill him at the beginning, only seeing that he was injured, he panicked.He would never tell Murongli that during the month when he was injured and comatose, the reason why he hastily ascended the throne and became the co-lord of the world, apart from adapting to the situation, was that he wanted to unify Zhongyuan. Gather the world's best medicine and wake him up.

The round with Murongli had already been lost before it even started.

The sound of the whip whistling came from the depths of the prison, and there was a faint gasp of someone who was in extreme pain but could not bear it. The jailer who led the way reported that Zhi Ming was in front of the place where the assassin was being held. Zhi Ming retreated from the crowd and left alone. go in.

The jailer who was whipping inside saw that the person who came was the co-lord, so he hurriedly saluted. Zhi Ming stared coldly at the blood-stained "assassin" with disheveled hair, and said coldly, "Everyone get out."

It is obviously inappropriate to leave the assassin and the monarch alone in the same room, but Zhiming's attitude makes people shudder. Thinking about the assassin being tied up and wounded all over his body, the jailers should not be able to make waves. out.

Zhi Ming walked in front of Geng Chen unhurriedly, like a cat admiring a mouse in its palm.

Still, no one who has been whipped will have much energy. Geng Chen lowered his head and was not interested in looking at the enemy king.

Zhi Ming went straight to the point, "Why did you assassinate Lord Murong?"

Geng Chen sneered, spat the blood out of his mouth, "I'm going to kill you."

"Oh! So that's the case." Zhi Ming nodded in agreement with a look of sudden realization, and then a cold light appeared in his eyes, "Then why are you hiding in the Xunyou Terrace?"

Geng Chen was taken aback, this is indeed a problem, Xunyou Terrace is not Zhiming's bedroom, if he wants to assassinate him, Xuanwu Terrace, the emperor's bedroom, or even on the way to Xuegong, where is not the place to commit murder?

"Can't figure it out?" Zhi Ming put his fingers on his forehead, thinking, "Why don't you help me think about it, um... I guess it's because I always go to Xunyou Terrace alone without guards, so you think you can take advantage of it."

Geng Chen frowned uneasy, he didn't think that Zhi Ming would be so considerate to find a reason for him.

Zhi Ming ignored Geng Chen, and still analyzed it logically, "Although that's the case, how do you know when the widow will go to Xunyou Terrace? You must have troubled you to lurk there for a long time, right?"

Gengchen couldn't bear to talk nonsense with Zhiming, and said cautiously, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Master Murong is so alert, how could he not even know about the Tibetans in the house." Zhi Ming smiled leisurely, full of evil charm, he said bluntly, "You belong to Lord Murong."

Geng Chen was well-trained, although he was startled, he acted as if he had heard a big joke on his face, and said provocatively, "That's right, it was Murong Li who asked me to hide in the room, wait for the opportunity, and kill you."

Zhi Ming frowned slightly, a trace of suspicion flashed across his eyes, he grabbed Geng Chen's lapel, and said harshly, "You'd better think it through before you talk."

"Whatever you want to hear, I'll just say what you want, isn't it to your liking?" Geng Chen said angrily, "It's useless for me not to be able to kill you."

Zhi Ming smiled lightly indifferently, his tone eased, and he seemed to be chatting leisurely, "There must be a reason for killing, why did you assassinate the widow?"

Geng Chen said coldly, "I don't need a reason to kill you."

Zhiming is funny, he admires the person in front of him a little bit, it is really a good "no reason".Apart from other things, this sentence is quite in line with his temper.However, the smile faltered slightly when the corner of Zhiming's eyes touched Geng Chen's skirt, Zhiming squinted his eyes to look at Gengchen, and grabbed a small round token from his skirt.

"Open?" Zhi Ming frowned and looked at the word "Open" engraved on the token, and said to himself, "Open Yang?"

Geng Chen's face froze, as if a secret that had been hidden for a long time was finally discovered, he yelled at Zhi Ming fiercely, "I am the one who wants to kill you, the winner and the loser, if you want to kill, you have to listen to me?"

Zhi Ming looked at the token in his hand, then at Geng Chen, his eyes were filled with sarcasm, which turned into self-deprecating in the end, "Kill you? Do you think the widow will be stupid enough to make Ah Li sad again, and then Since then, you have hated the widow to the core?"

Geng Chen was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he forced himself to calm down and said, "Kill if you want, don't waste time talking nonsense that people can't understand."

"Don't understand?" Zhi Ming suppressed the smile in his eyes, and his eyes suddenly turned cold, "Are you a fool for Zuo Yi or a fool for a widow? Zuo Yi wants the widow to die, but he is not stupid enough to act now."

Geng Chen lowered his head, held his breath, and remained silent.

Zhi Ming clasped Geng Chen's jaw with his hands, forcing him to look at him, "Do you know that you will kill him if you act like this?"

Even though as a dead soldier, he had already disregarded life and death, Geng Chen was still frightened by the murderous look in Zhi Ming's eyes, his eyes visibly flustered, he didn't want to hurt Murong Li, he only acted in a moment of impatience, he..." Ming! You are also the king of a country, the king trusts you so much, why do you humiliate him? He never thought of hurting you, but you treat him like this, how are you at ease?"

"How do you feel at ease?" Zhi Ming sneered, "How do you know how the widow treats him? Does he tell you everything? How long have you been lurking in the Xunyou Terrace? Years ago, you left the widow's court and regarded the widow as forbidden." Are you the one who defends nothing? Or is there someone else? Are you really blind?"

"..." Geng Chen was completely stunned by the question, did Zhi Ming already know of his existence?It's not just the Xunyou Terrace's accident this time, when he went in and out of Xiangxu Terrace to deliver information for Murongli many years ago, he had already noticed it?

Thinking of this, Geng Chen suddenly realized a question, "Did you deliberately lure me out yesterday?"

Zhi Ming stepped back, folded his hands in front of his chest, and looked at Geng Chen amusedly, "So what?"

"mean!"

Zhiming seemed to have never heard of it, turned around leisurely, picked out his ears, and reminded, "How do you think your master will save you?"

Geng Chen's heart sinks, this is the last thing he wants to think about, he knows exactly what kind of person Murong Li is, although he always puts the overall situation first, but he also knows... A Xu's death is the most important thing in Murong Li's life After the death of his brother, this kind of regret was even worse, and more of it was passed on to him. What Zhi Ming said was exactly what he was worried about. Murong Li might really be coerced by Zhi Ming in order to save him. .

"Zhi Ming!" Geng Chen said angrily, "You can't treat him like that!"

Thinking back to that day when Zhiming spoke frivolously to Murongli, his actions were frivolous, and he even teased him like an actor, how could he bear it?That is the king of his country in Yaoguang, the person his old master would not hesitate to entrust with his life, how can he be so contemptuous and humiliated?

"Even if I die, I will never let the lord of the country be humiliated." Geng Chen's voice changed a little due to the excitement and roar, echoing in the lifeless prison cell, making the hearts of those waiting outside tremble.

The king, who was standing with his back turned, changed from his previous eloquence and became quiet.

Gengchen was like throwing a needle into a river, without causing any splash, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

In the final analysis, all he could do was speak harshly and be imprisoned in the sky prison. Murongli's life and death were still in the hands of the emperor in the black robe.Gengchen was so anxious that he hated himself for acting impulsively, and fell into Zhiming's trap so easily.

I don't know how long it took, the man in the black robe seemed to be tired from standing at last, he sighed softly, and was about to walk away, Geng Chen stopped him, "If you dare to touch the king, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost."

Zhi Ming seemed to remember that there was another prisoner behind him who he had been interrogating for a long time. He paused and couldn't hear any emotion, "The widow will let you go, remember what you said today, and protect him well. If he gets hurt In the slightest, if the widow can kill you once, he can kill you a second time!"

The author has something to say:

There is a kind of love, called I have seen through everything, but I still let you, just because I love you~~~

As Zhi Mengmeng said, he lost the game with Ah Li before it even started.
