I govern the country by beauty

173. I don't really know what happened after that, but I just feel that every inch of skin on my body, from the tips of my ears to my toes, is unbearably hot.A piece of softness on my side collapsed, and someone sat beside me, stroking the end of my eyebrows with cold fingertips, moving down inch by inch, and finally stopped on my neck.

He stared at it for a long time, stretched out his hand to close the quilt for me, and then did not move again.It wasn't until evening that I gradually became conscious that I realized how embarrassed I was.Thick cloth strips were wrapped around his shoulders, his lips were already chapped, and his nostrils were full of the smell of blood.I rolled my eyelids, the candles had already been lit in the house, and the light was shining, but I didn't feel dazzling.

The man in the wheelchair sat beside my bed for an unknown amount of time, casting a large shadow on my face against the candlelight.

The eyes that are always full of smiles are full of helplessness and hesitation until they meet my eyes.His straight back suddenly collapsed, his fingers on the armrest clenched into fists, and then slowly loosened.He covered his face with his hands, and seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

"It's good to wake up, otherwise I will go crazy."

174. Only then did I know that many things will change drastically in just one night.

"I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to conspire against her."

"Hey, the fourth prince is really pitiful. It must be uncomfortable to personally put his mother and concubine in shackles."

Before I opened my eyes, I heard these two sentences. They probably thought that I was not awake, so those gossips poured out all at once.The sound of the wooden wheel outside the door was getting closer and closer, the eunuch in the room suddenly fell silent, lowered his head and concentrated on the work in hand.The ebony wheel stopped by my bed, he lifted the brocade quilt, and looked at my shoulders before he felt relieved.

"Do you want to eat something?"

"Let them all go out." The hoarseness of the voice even startled me, like an old woman who hasn't spoken for many years, mixed with unpleasant roughness.

175. The little eunuch retreated with his waist down, and only my fourth brother and I were left in the room. I endured the pain in my shoulder and sat up with my arms propped up.Facing the Wu Qing in the eyes of the fourth brother, even though the corners of my mouth were chapped, I still smiled at him.

"Fourth brother knows, right?"

176. The hot tea in his hand was steaming hot, he handed me the cup, lowered his head suddenly and smiled.

"He really left the mess to me to clean up."

When Shi Yu recalled the events of that day, he couldn't help feeling amused.Qi Zhi stood in his room, the boredom and murderous intent in his eyes were undisguised, even showing the blade hidden in his cuff, shining coldly.Shi Yu put down the book in his hand and raised his eyebrows to look at him.

"You know all about it." Qi Zhi's tone didn't show any turmoil, without revealing any clues.

"A killer who has been trained for many years would actually bury his body in the yard. I really don't know what you think." Shi Yu said while making tea, narrowing his long and narrow eyes slightly to hide his thoughts.He had long felt that something was wrong with Qizhi, and he just went to Yueer Palace to check casually that day, but he did not expect to find dozens of corpses in the woodland in the back garden.Except for a bloodstain on the throat, there is no wound, clean and neat.

He didn't care about the turmoil in the court, so he found a carriage and drove all the way to the border that night. He was full of fear, for fear that he would see Shi Yue covered in blood.But when he saw that Qi Zhi was pressing Shi Yue under him, he was obviously dizzy with jealousy, but he was still relieved, it's okay.

"Who is the person buried in the backyard?"

"It was sent by the queen mother." The fourth brother narrowed his eyes, lowered his head, paused, and continued, "Perhaps I saw that Qi Zhi hadn't moved for a long time, so I couldn't wait."

177. Qizhi has been working for the queen mother for a long time, so long that I can't believe it.At that time, the fourth brother's leg would have recovered, but someone sneaked into the fourth brother's bedroom and poured some powder into his medicine jar.Later the imperial physician came to see him again, but he just shook his head.

The person who administered the medicine was Qi Zhi.

The fourth brother said that Qi Zhi had never missed a job, so the task of assassinating me naturally fell on him.The queen mother found out that the fourth brother put the thread in the box, so she asked Qi Zhi to do what I had done before, so that I felt that I was in the same sympathy with him.

Xi Zhi said in the water that she was looking for someone, said in the corner that she was lost, and even clutched my cuff pitifully, all pretending.

But later, he stopped pretending.

178. "I didn't expect Xi Zhi to show you the thread." The fourth brother looked up at me, and he laughed silently, "That day he came to look for me and told me that he was the one who poisoned me. "

"I thought he still had a conscience and came to ask me to forgive him."

"Who knew he was here to threaten me." The fourth brother's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of his lips were curved into a beautiful arc. "He stuck the dagger on my desk fiercely, and said expressionlessly, if I You are not good, he will definitely come and kill me."

Obviously the corners of my mouth were dry and chapped, but my smile grew bigger and bigger. I lowered my head and took a sip of tea, and murmured to myself: "Qi Zhi always says I'm stupid, and I know I won't live long." , and ran to threaten others."

"He's not very bright either."

I'm not very sad, but I feel like a hole has been opened in my heart, and the wind is blowing right now, blowing people to pieces.

179. Shi Yu no longer looked at the person on the couch, his eyes fell on the white jade finger in his hand.

He still hid his shady selfishness, he didn't tell Shi Yue, that night Xi Zhi stood by the door, silent for a long time before speaking.

"I want to take him to see the lantern." He leaned his head against the door frame and said slowly, "I'm full of sins, but I don't think about dying well."

After saying that, he lowered his head and smiled, without the coldness of the past.

"But I want to see him so badly."
