"Last month, my sworn sister Wen Zhiyun came to see me. Qiu Shuanghua seized the opportunity and stuck to her with all her strength. When she sent the Wen sisters away, I didn't know what she said. Wen Zhiyun is very wary of strangers.

People who didn't mix things up actually started to have contact with her. Within a few days, several Tokyo noble ladies learned from Baiyun Temple's practices and jointly held a charity meeting. As you can probably guess, Qiu Shuanghua was also invited.

help."

"To be accepted by a noble lady in the capital so quickly is indeed quite tricky." Xiao Shishi also did not hesitate to praise the enemy.

Liuli was disdainful, "From this incident, I can see that a 'perfect' person like her also has weaknesses."

"oh?"

"She is only friendly to those who can be used, but does not look at the overall situation. Now, although she has entered a small circle of aristocrats, most of the noble ladies in Tokyo hate her. In this way, she may be proud for a while, but sooner or later...

When we stand firm."

"Vision determines the future." Xiao Shiyi poured himself a glass and sipped it slowly, "There's nothing we can do about it. She's the kind of woman who only cares about profit. She just wants to desperately seize power and wealth, and she won't hesitate to do so.

All costs. This kind of person will be the biggest threat if he succeeds. If he fails..." He did not continue, but it was self-evident.

For a moment, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is the charity meeting organized by the noble ladies because the Qin Tian Jian predicted that it will be extremely cold this winter and that we need to make early preparations to help the homeless poor? Have you ever

I have thought that this is probably Qiu Shuanghua's suggestion? Otherwise, how could it be so clever? There have been years of disaster in the past, and ladies are not so active."

Liuli nodded. She thought of it.

Or, this is Qiu Shuanghua's purpose, and this is what impressed Wen Zhiyun. Qiu Shuanghua did not want to please the nobles, because she knew very well that her origin determined that she could not truly integrate into the noble circle.

Liuli is the future Princess of Jin, the younger sister of the leader of the Cao Gang, the adopted daughter of Marquis Ning'an, and the one who was personally granted a marriage by the Emperor. However, the noble ladies of Tokyo still half-heartedly admire Liuli.

Concubine Cui Shu came from a famous family, but she remarried as a widow. She was married to the current Holy Emperor and had been favored in the harem for more than thirty years. Even now, the genuine noble ladies still look down on her behind their backs.

Nobles, especially the nobility of the Great Zhao Kingdom, pay special attention to bloodline. You cannot understand it without being involved in it. It has become an obsession, to the point of morbidity. Even the emperor sits on the dragon throne because he has no orthodox origin.

I am uneasy, not to mention that Qiu Shuanghua is just a happy bride?

Qiu Shuanghua is arrogant at heart because she relies on her beauty, but that can only conquer men. For noble ladies, she must provide them with what they want. For Wen Zhiyun, it is reputation! It does not cost too much but can be achieved

What a good reputation they have earned! Speaking of which, the Wen family are really vain. They love fame extremely much.

As a price, Wen Zhiyun lured Qiu Shuanghua out and had a chance to go out. It would be fun for her to leave Shuifu! Otherwise, she would be a fool if she was trapped in the inner courtyard every day.

So, the question arises? Where did Qiu Shuanghua, a "weak woman", get the news about the Qintian Prison? How can she then come up with a feasible plan to lure the ladies to accept her temporarily?

It has long been judged that there is someone outside to support her. This makes it even more certain. Recalling what Xiao Shiyi said just now, the people around her are not from the world of quacks, but are engaged in quacks. So...could it be that the person behind her is a big shot?!

"What are you thinking of?" Seeing Liuli's eyes twinkling, Xiao Shiyi asked curiously.

"I was thinking, for so many days, we have been monitoring Qiu Shuanghua and her girl. Although they kept running out, they really didn't reveal any clues. Where did we neglect it?" Liuli frowned.

Until this moment, she had not realized that she had become accustomed to discussing serious matters with Xiao Shiyi and would no longer be overly guarded against him.

But when Xiao Shiyi heard her say "we" and knew that it represented Liuli and Shui Shiqiao, he felt very uncomfortable. He had tried his best to get closer to her in a way that Liuli could accept, but he just didn't understand. Shui Shiqiao

What's so good about it? Why does Shui Shiqiao always come first in Liuli's heart? He just appeared a step late in her life, and he will be left so far behind? So far that it seems impossible to catch up.

He can do everything step by step, including seeking to gain a kingdom. From his point of view, no matter how difficult the problem is, as long as he doesn't die, he will definitely be able to find a way to solve it. But for Liuli, he seems to have fallen into a nightmare. She is right in front of him.

, but he can never catch it.

"Have you ever thought that Qiu Shuanghua knows that you will keep an eye on her, so she is extra careful. The information she passes to people outside is not directly about what she said or did, but about herself or her girl?"

"Self?" Liuli was startled, and a ray of light suddenly flashed in her heart. Although the light quickly faded into darkness, it lit up part of the blind spots in her thinking, giving her a sense of enlightenment.

"I want to think about it." She stood up and started to leave.

Xiao Shiyi was reluctant to let go, but he also knew that he could not stay here for too long. Since the last incident with Qiu Shuanghua, he and Liuli had regarded Shuiyuexuan's Orchid House as a base for regular meetings. Even Shuiyuexuan

The big shopkeeper didn't know that he was the real boss behind the scenes, so it was really easy to conceal Liuli's whereabouts and let Liuli go in and out without being watched. However, in the end, it was a critical moment, and it was best to be more careful.

"What are you going to do with Jiulang?" Xiao Shiyi suddenly said when Liuli was about to step out of the room.

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he had never found a suitable opportunity. At this time, something went wrong.

Liuli was stunned, feeling confused in her heart.

Instinctively, he stabbed others out of fear of being hurt himself, so he asked, "What are you going to do with Kuro?"

After thinking for a while, he added, "Don't hurt him."

Xiao Shiyi also stood up, walked slowly behind Liuli, and stood there, very close, but never touching, "I have known clearly since I inherited the throne at the age of thirteen and took the initiative to go to Beijing as a hostage.

What do I want? I want that dragon chair, do you know why?"

"Why?" Liuli didn't want to ask, but she asked anyway.

She believes that the best allies are those who share interests and are honest with each other. They do not need to know each other too well, nor do they need to develop friendship. Once people have feelings, they cannot be absolutely rational. If they are too close, they will easily misunderstand.

But Xiao Shiyi seemed to have the power to confuse people, which made her suddenly curious. Although, she immediately regretted it and wished she could bite off her tongue.

"Because you can't help yourself when you're alive." Xiao Shiyi's voice suddenly felt a little cold, or rather, there was a bit of hidden sadness, "I can't control my own destiny. Only by standing at the highest level can I be my own master.

!”

Liuli tightened her shoulders and felt his breath hitting the back of her neck, making it numb.

That position represents supreme power, wealth in the world, and stunning beauty. It also represents the ambition, ambition, and desire that men of extraordinary origins are born with. She just didn't expect that his reasons were so abstract. When she thought about it carefully,

It's a bit pitiful. He climbed up by any means necessary, but it turned out that he just wanted to prevent anyone from hurting him.

"In order to achieve my goal, the entire Xiao royal family is my enemy." Xiao Shiyi continued, "So originally, I had no intention of making friends with anyone in the royal family. But Jiulang was an accident." He suddenly laughed at himself.

, "Look. No matter how cruel your heart is or how determined your will is, there will always be things that you can't control. Kuro, he is an honest and kind breed that is rare among the royal family. But it happened to you and me. You said,

If he is treacherous, no, even a little despicable. So, the most terrifying thing in the world is not the evil person, but the good person who you can't bear."

"so what?"

"So I won't hurt Kuro. I will find a way to prevent us from killing each other."

"I believe you." Liuli turned around and took half a step back to prevent her forehead from directly hitting Xiao Shiyi's beautiful chin. "But people are very complicated and will change. I think you should find a way to fix it now."

If he takes it out, don't wait until the time comes when the two evils come together."

"You still say you believe me?" Xiao Shiyi looked aggrieved.

Liuli shook her head, "I really believe in you, at least as you are now. But I don't believe in human nature, and I should never test human nature, because no one can test it."

Xiao Shiyi was stunned, speechless, and stared blankly at Liuli disappearing at the door.

In fact, Liuli was also very confused. Those words were not meant for her to hear.

She didn't want to hurt Jiulang, but at present, it seemed that the injury was inevitable. It was her fault. She planned the entire revenge incident and moved forward step by step. Everyone who had hurt her sister in the past could not escape, including Xiao Zuo.

She was guilty, but she neglected to calculate her feelings. She thought she could just give up herself, but she didn't expect to fall in love with Shitou. She didn't expect that Xiao Zhen was not as heinous and unforgivable as his father.

She had estimated the collateral damage and felt she could bear it, but facing Xiao Zhen, she was really at a loss. Originally, she could marry Xiao Zhen with peace of mind when Stone got married, but only now did she realize that her emptiness

Fake love is the greatest harm. Long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain, and it is better to cut it off in two.

She rationally told her that this was the right thing to do, but she was too cowardly to face it. As a result, the longer the matter was delayed, the more difficult it was to get out of it, and the greater the damage caused. Therefore, she was even more afraid to speak out.

Vicious cycle!

What's terrible is that Qiu Shuanghua fell from the sky! Regardless of whether Qiu knows about her and Shitou's revenge for their sister, or whether they know about their alliance with Xiao Shiyi. At least... Qiu Shuanghua knows about her and Shitou

They are fake siblings, true love! If she doesn't take the initiative to solve the matter, what will happen to Jiulang if he hears the truth from Qiu Shuanghua's mouth? Many things need to be confessed proactively and learned from outsiders, especially outsiders with ill intentions.

You know, it's a completely different effect.

Therefore, Xiao Shiyi helped her today. His sudden question made her finally make a decision! Xiao Zuo had already issued an order for Xiao Zhen to return to Beijing after the winter monsoon. At that time, she wanted to talk to Jiulang.

Break off the engagement!
