But Liusu avoided it without leaving a trace, and stood up holding on to the stone table beside him. The iron chains on his hands and feet made a sound due to the collision. They had not seen each other for two days, but it seemed like a hundred years had passed in between.
She always kept a close distance from him, not looking at him.
Now, she is the "Princess of the former dynasty", he is the prince of the current dynasty, she has the "Ming Yue Sect", and he has the Sun Yao Dynasty.
There is an unbridgeable gap between them.
She no longer wanted to explain the matter of time travel. It was not a matter of belief or disbelief, but that she herself could not understand time travel, so how could she let ancient people understand it.
Therefore, she is bound to bear the title of "Princess of the Former Dynasty" and borrow Hua Xiangu's body to help her pay off her debt.
Emperor Zhuyao slowly took his hand back and hid it in his sleeve, his chest rising and falling slightly:
He looked at her. In just two days, she had become much more haggard. Her black hair was scattered messily on both sides. Her eyes were red and swollen and had lost their former luster. Her originally plump and rosy lips were now
It was pale and chapped. There were obvious scars on the wrists that were shackled by iron cuffs.
Embarrassed, exhausted
His eyes were condensed, with no expression on his face. The deep distress in his eyes flashed past, almost imperceptibly——
"Come here, bring the key and open the chain for Princess Hua Xiangu." Emperor Zhuyao ordered calmly, his tone was stiff, cold, and his eyes were cold and distant.
It seems that it is exactly the attitude that the prince of the current dynasty should have towards the princess of the previous dynasty.
"Yes, Your Highness." After hearing the order, the jailer bowed forward and unlocked Tassel.
Unexpectedly, Liusu took his hand back, took two steps to the side, pulled up the corner of his mouth and pretended to smile casually, and said nonchalantly, "Thank you Hua Xiangu, King Lanling for being so kind, but no need, it's easy."
It brings trouble to King Lanling. Besides, this little injury is nothing. I am not that delicate, and I don’t have the luck to let King Lanling show mercy to me."
He was cold, and she was equally indifferent and distant.
These two people suddenly became like the strangest people in the world, as if they had never known each other before and would never have any intersection in the future.
After hearing her words of self-destruction, Emperor Zhuyao squeezed the hand hidden in his sleeve and smiled coldly——
"Princess Slimbone, since you are a prisoner, you have no right to disobey the king's orders! Get the lock!"
Liusu raised her eyes and looked at him. She had never seen him so indifferent.
He took her hand and opened the iron lock. Her flesh was so tender that her hands were trembling slightly in pain. Even after the iron lock was unlocked, she was still trembling uncontrollably in his hand.
Emperor Zhuyao felt it, and his throat bulged.
"It is no longer allowed to be locked in the future. It would be bad if word spread that I abused the orphans of the previous dynasty."
"Yes! I obey." The jailer picked up the chain and key and left the cell.
"Thank you King Lanling for your grace." Liusu said.
"Sit down." Emperor Zhuyao asked Liusu to sit on the bed, then picked up the ointment thrown on the ground and opened it. A strong smell of medicine came out.
He grabbed the fingers of both her hands, dipped his fingertips in ointment and applied it on her bruised and reddish areas without saying a word. He didn't know if he was afraid of hurting her, but his movements seemed a little clumsy.
.
Liusu wanted to pull her hand back, but Emperor Zhuyao held her hand tightly and she couldn't pull it out. He tried harder and harder, but still couldn't pull it back. His hand seemed to be glued to hers.
"Hiss..." The ointment was a bit irritating, and there was a spicy feeling as soon as it was applied. She couldn't help but make a sound of pain in her mouth.
"You'll be fine if you just bear with it." Emperor Zhuyao's voice became softer.
When he says it's okay, does he mean hands or people?
Suddenly, there was a pop, and her tears fell on the back of his hand. He was startled and stopped applying the medicine.
The crystal-clear and hot teardrop flowed from the center of the back of his hand to one side, burning him like a soldering iron.
"Pap..." One of them landed on the back of my hand.
Emperor Zhuyao moved her hand aside and continued to apply medicine for him, while Tassel's tears kept falling on the back of his hand one by one.
Soon, his hands were wet with tears.
Liusu raised his sleeves, wiped away his tears, and said reluctantly——
"I'm sorry, this medicine is too stimulating, so spicy, it made me cry..."
Her heart hurt like a knife at the moment. He helped her apply medicine, and she understood that his indifference and alienation were probably out of necessity.
"Qiluo is here."
After applying the ointment, he put the ointment on the cold and hard bed of the cell and said.
When Liusu heard this, all her calmness and pretense immediately disappeared. She raised her head, her tears were not dry yet. She pulled his sleeve excitedly and asked, "She's here? How did she get here?"
Emperor Zhuyao looked down at the sleeves that were tightly held by her and said——
"She walked all the way from Yaojing to Sixteenth City with her book boy. She said she dreamed that you were in danger, so she ran out secretly."
After hearing this, Liusu's heart felt as if she had been severely cut by a knife. Tears burst into her eyes, "This silly child has walked such a long way. Don't her feet hurt? Tell me, is she okay? She has
She was not hungry, was she bullied on the road? Did she eat? Did she sleep? Has she lost weight or gained weight?..."
She asked eagerly, wanting to know everything about Qiluo. She really wanted to see her, but she knew she couldn't do it now. She had to endure it, even if her heart ached.
He stretched out his hand and put it down——
"She is very good. She is smarter than adults. I told her that you can meet in a few days."
Liusu was slightly startled after hearing this.
"That's good, that's good. By the way..." She suddenly seemed to remember something, "Qiluo is not your biological daughter. She was picked up by me. She has no blood relationship with you. There was Mingyue in the previous dynasty.
Teaching has nothing to do with her."
Emperor Zhuyao nodded, "I know, Yun Ni has told me."
Liusu was stunned for a moment. So, did he believe it?
When Emperor Zhuyao came, he didn't ask any questions about the previous dynasty and the Mingyue Sect. He just told Liusu some things about Xiao Qiluo, and then left.
When he left, she couldn't see his expression, only the tall and majestic white back -
Step by step, Liusu suddenly stood up and asked:
"Everyone thinks that I am deliberately trying to get close to you and alienate your brothers in order to regain my former dynasty. Do you believe it?"
After hearing this, Emperor Zhuyao stopped and said -
"Believe or not, you don't need to say it with your mouth, it's enough to put it in your heart."
Liusu listened and understood. He believed her and believed that she was not here to lie to them.
She was relieved immediately, he believed her, this was more important than anything else.
And what should she do?
*
Emperor Zhuyao walked out of the cell door, and the cell door was locked with a clang, and he was isolated from her again.
Xue Lan came up and was about to report the matter to Emperor Zhuyao, but found that his forehead was covered with sweat and his slender hands were obviously shaking!
"Your Highness! What's wrong with you..." Xue Lan looked at him in surprise. He went to the prison once to see why he was sweating and trembling all over. His Highness must have been deeply shocked to show his emotions so obviously.
After following His Highness for so many years, Xue Lan had never seen him look so out of sorts.
"Is Uncle Fang here?!" His fists in his sleeves were clenched, and his tone was hard and cold, as if he wanted to tear himself to pieces!
Liusu is actually... so haggard and tired!
In front of his eyes and in his mind, everything was the look of her crying just now. His hands, now cold and cold, were all traces of her tears.
His hands were shaking because of his tears.
He was sweating all over because he was in pain!
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, Uncle Fang has been caught, but he hasn't arrived yet..."
"Prepare your horses!" He ordered in a deep voice, and his cold murderous intent made Xue Lan shudder.
"Your Highness..."
“Ready your horses immediately!!”
"yes!"
A moment later, Emperor Zhuyao, dressed in black night clothes, rode out of Lanling Mansion.
