Outside Xingqing Palace, He Lianjue had been waiting for almost two hours. Zhao Changde stopped him and refused to let him in. He said that the king had not gotten up yet and asked him to wait.
Two hours later, Helianjue's patience had been exhausted. Looking at the guards guarding both sides, he couldn't care less and directly knocked the guards down and rushed into the hall.
"Oh, Your Majesty, you can't barge in like this! Your Majesty and the beauty are still bathing..." Zhao Changde wanted to stop He Lianjue, but the look in his eyes suggested that something big had happened, right?
"Go - go and report to the king that I need to see the king in an urgent matter!" Helianjue couldn't wait any longer. When he heard the word bathing mentioned to Changde, he couldn't help but think.
Rushed in.
Zhao Changde looked at his murderous eyes, thought for a while, and decided to report it to the king.
The two people in the bath had just finished their passion, and Zhao Changde's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, the third prince outside the hall said that he has something urgent to see you, and has been waiting for two hours."
The Third Prince... Cen Xue's eyes lit up, and she breathed out a sentence from her red lips: "——He's here."
Although he spoke very quietly, He Lianzhi still couldn't escape his hearing. He held her waist and pressed her against the edge of the pool, and asked her solemnly: "How do you know Jue?"
"I..." Cen Xue was a little hesitant when faced with his question.
Helianzhi stared at her displeasedly, and concluded in his heart that she must be hiding something from him.
Seeing her hesitating, Helianzhi let go of his hand and took her back to the dormitory to get dressed, and then led her out to face the battle. As long as they met, the truth would naturally come to light.
Outside the hall, Helian Jue was waiting very impatiently and walked up and down the hall. He was thinking, what should he do if the woman was really Cen Xue?
"Your Majesty..." Just as he was getting impatient, Zhao Changde's voice sounded from behind him.
He Lianjue turned around and looked in the direction of the source of the sound. At first glance, he saw Helianzhi walking out, seemingly in a good mood. Later, when he saw the woman holding his brother's hand behind him, he was stunned.
.
Cen Xue, it's Cen Xue... Looking at that familiar face, he shook his head in disbelief and stood there stupidly, his dull eyes looking at the strange yet familiar beauty a few steps away.
Helianzhi looked at his dull expression and thought, they must know each other, and they must be hiding a lot of things from him.
He dismissed the others, leaving only Zhao Changde waiting by his side. Helianzhi looked at him, picked up a cup of tea at hand, took a sip, and then asked him: "Eunuch Zhao has been with Gu for ten years."
Well, they are not strangers after all. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Cen Xue stood beside him, looking at Helianzhi who had been looking at her. She felt unspeakable guilt in her heart. She had been using him and his identity to get closer to Helianzhi.
, and also took advantage of his feelings for himself.
He Lianjue's eyes met Cen Xue's. Since Brother Wang said so, he would ask him to get back what belongs to him.
He slowly raised his arm and pointed at Cen Xue, who was standing quietly next to He Lianzhi: "I want her to be my princess!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Changde was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. The third prince had lost his mind. This beauty had been favored by the king last night. Everyone in the harem knew this!
However, his words fulfilled Helianzhi's suspicion that there was indeed a problem between them.
He Lianzhi did not express his position immediately, put down the cup in his hand, suppressed the long-burning anger in his heart, turned to look at Cen Xue beside him and asked: "The third prince said that he wants you to be his princess, what do you think?"
These words clearly meant that he was testing her, and Cen Xue could still hear it. When she was in the bath just now, she felt his anger, but she was not sure yet, so he did not have an attack.
Cen Xue knew that the matter between her and He Lianjue could not be hidden, and she did not want to hide anything from He Lianzhi, so she walked up to He Lianjue and said with a look of guilt on her face: "My lord, I'm sorry.
"
Helianjue looked at her blankly, stretched out his hand to hold her arm, and asked with some excitement: "Tell me, why is this happening? Why did you leave without saying goodbye that day, and why did you appear next to my brother Wang today? You forgot that you promised
Have you done anything to me?"
"I'm sorry - I don't know how to explain all this to you except these three words!" Cen Xue apologized again. She was really ashamed. If she had left Helianjue earlier, maybe she wouldn't have
There will be such misunderstandings.
"Don't tell me you're sorry, I want to hear the truth!" Helianjue roared with all his strength, making Cen Xue's ears buzz with a roar.
Helianzhi sat in his seat and looked at the two of them without saying a word, waiting for Cen Xue's answer.
Cen Xue allowed herself to calm down for a moment, then turned to look at Helianzhi behind her. He could still sit safely in his seat. Was he pretending to be calm on purpose, or did he not care about himself at all?
She bit her lip habitually. No matter what the reason was, his attitude deeply hurt her. Since no one spoke, she was the only one to speak.
"Actually, Cen Xue's heart has long been filled with the figure of a person. When I learned that you were the prince in the military camp, my first reaction was to use your identity to achieve my goals. But I will never
I didn't expect you would say those words to me that night.
I am still very selfish and took advantage of your feelings again to follow you into the palace, hoping to meet the person I have been longing for." At this point, Cen Xue's tone was choked up, which reminded her of all the things that happened between the two of them.
, and everything I heard in the lotus pond that day.
"Who is that person? Who is that person in your heart?" He Lianjue became more and more excited. He grabbed Cen Xue's big hand and held her even harder.
He Lianzhi listened silently behind him. It turned out that she was the woman in white who left the lotus that day. It turned out that she was the woman who made Rang Jue cause trouble in Huayin Palace and made him curious!
It turned out that last night was the third time they met, but the first time she ran too fast, and he only saw her back.
Cen Xue paused her words here. She thought Helianzhi asked excitedly who the man in her heart was, but he didn't, he didn't...
Tears fell down sadly because of disappointment. Cen Xue looked at the extremely excited He Lianjue in front of her and sobbed loudly: "That day I got rid of the palace maid and walked into another road. By the lotus pond, I heard
To the sound that breaks my heart, I can't accept that the man I love is with other people
The women were having sex together, so I left sadly. On the carriage back, I thought a lot. Then I decided to leave you, and followed me into Wuyue Tower. I practiced day and night every day, just for
I have to show my best side in front of the man in my heart!"
Got it, He Lianjue completely understood what Cen Xue meant. It turned out that the person in her heart was Brother Wang. She had never loved her from the beginning to the end. She had always been in unrequited love. It was ridiculous - it was so ridiculous.
!
"I'm sorry, everything is Cen Xue's fault..." Cen Xue struggled to open his big palm, and suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression from this gorgeous palace, which made her feel so bored.
After gaining his freedom, with tears in his eyes, he took one last look at He Lianjue who had been hurt by him, lowered his head and ran out.
When Helianzhi saw Cen Xue running out, he gave Zhao Changde a look beside him and told him to follow her immediately. He must keep an eye on her and not cause any harm to her.
At this time, only the two brothers were left. He Lianzhi calmed down for a while, sorted out what had just happened, and looked up at He Lianzhi who was still sitting in his seat. Regardless of whether Cen Xue had him in his heart or not, he would
You must take Cen Xue away and stay with Brother Wang. There will be no happiness at all!
"Brother Wang, I want Cen Xue to be my princess!" he said insistently.
A glint flashed in Helianzhi's eyes. He originally thought he had understood what he said, but he still insisted. Why?
"That day in the lotus pond, it was Gu and Ji Meiren who were together. The person Cen Xue loved was Gu. Now that she is a Gu and a woman, how can she allow you to be the princess?" He Lianzhi's words are easy to understand, Cen Xue
She can only be his Helianzhi's woman in this life.
"So what, Cen Xue met me first and made an agreement with me first! Brother Wang, you have three thousand beauties in your harem, so what if she is missing one? If she stays with you, she will only attract the frame-up and jealousy of those women. You
I can't give her happiness. Only I can give her the happiness she wants. Only I can love her wholeheartedly for the rest of my life!" He Lianjue was not to be outdone and yelled at Helianzhi.
His words made Helianzhi very angry. What do you mean he can't give Cen Xue the happiness he wants? That's nonsense!!!
"Jue, I might as well make it clear to you here. Cen Xue Gu is determined. No matter what she wants, Gu can give it to her. If she wants the throne, Gu can abolish Meng Qianrong as the queen for her. If she wants
If she wants the stars in the sky, Gu can build her a star-picking tower so that she can easily pick the stars in the sky. In short, she is Gu's woman!" The two brothers seemed to be confronting each other, and neither one was willing to give in.
"What kind of bullshit happiness do you call? The happiness Cen Xue wants is one-to-one love, and you simply can't afford it! It's rare that you are willing to send away your three thousand beauties, and only Cen Xue is the only one in the harem. You are so lustful
Dude, you simply can't do it! A moment ago, you vowed to only love Yu Wu, but just how long ago, you said that the person you loved was Cen Xue. You are simply a hypocritical person, and you are just greedy for Yu Wu.
It’s just Wu and Cen Xue’s beauty!”
Helianzhi cursed out all the psychological words at once, and when Helianzhi heard it, veins appeared all over his body, especially his gloomy and livid face, which was helpless and terrifying, as if a volcano was about to erupt at any time.
"He Lian Jue - don't forget your identity!" He Lian Zhi looked at him with dark eyes that were about to kill him, but considering that he was his biological brother, he still gave him one last chance.
