Standing on the top of the cliff, looking at Ruoshui Heng's retreating figure, Ruoshuiyue's originally bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and then brightened again. After repeated several times, her beautiful face couldn't help but outline a trace of...
A smile that is not a smile.
In the carriage at the foot of the mountain
As soon as Ruo Shuiyue got on the carriage, Xiahou Yexiu, who had been sleeping on the soft couch, was suddenly awakened by her. When he saw the woman in front of him clearly, his eyes softened again. "Are you done talking?"
"Yes!" Ruoshuiyue nodded, and then threw herself into Xiahou Yexiu's arms.
Her sudden move made Xiahou Yesiu couldn't help but be startled. "What's wrong?" He stretched out his hand and gently stroked her soft black hair, and Xiahou Yesiu asked softly.
After rubbing her coquettishly in his arms for a while, Ruoshuiyue slowly raised her head and said with great emotion, "Yexiu, thank you."
"Uh?" Faced with her sudden thanks, Xiahou Yesiu, who had just woken up, was obviously a little unresponsive.
"Thank you, thank you for not hurting Heng'er, and thank you for training him to be so mature." The fact that Ruoshui Heng was still alive was really shocking to her. Of course, it also moved her too much.
.After all, Ye Xiu clearly knew her true identity at that time, and also knew her purpose of getting close to him. But not only did he not expose her or hurt her, he even let her brother and aunt go because of her, and finally returned the favor.
He was trained to be so mature and steady.
Hearing this, Xiahou Yesiu reacted suddenly. Then he smiled lightly and said, "Idiot, since he is your brother, of course he is also my brother. I should take care of him and train him, right?"
"That's what I said, but I still really want to thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for me." The touch he gave me was stronger than ever.
With slightly cold hands, he gently touched Ruoshuiyue's delicate outline. Xiahou Yesiu chuckled affectionately and gently. "As long as you can be happy, you are the greatest thank you to me."
In an instant, there was mist in Ruoshuiyue's bright eyes. "Yexiu, thank you, thank you so much." It seemed that at this time Ruoshuiyue didn't know what words to use to express her inner gratitude except the word "thank you".
Feelings.
Alas! Here we go again!
His body tilted slightly and his brows raised, Xiahou Yesiu suddenly asked her with a half-smile but not a smile. "Do you really want to thank me?"
Hearing this, Ruoshuiyue nodded sharply without thinking. "Yes!"
With raised eyebrows, Xiahou Yesiu suddenly laughed evilly. "Then come up with something practical. What's the point of just talking without practicing."
"Uh?" It was obvious that Ruo Shuiyue didn't expect Xiahou Yexiu to say this, and he was immediately stunned where he was. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. "Then, how do you want me to thank you?"
After hearing this, Xiahou Yexiu put down his feet that were lazily resting on the car wall, sat up straight, and looked at Ruoshuiyue with a malicious look on his face. "If you really want to thank me, then
Just thank me yourself!" As he spoke, his face unconsciously moved towards Ruoshuiyue.
"Uh? Take myself?" She was startled, and Ruo Shuiyue suddenly realized what he meant. She rolled her eyes and stretched out her hand to push Xiahou Yexiu's face away. "You pervert, you've been doing this all day long.
You know that!"
Raising his eyebrows, Xiahou Yesiu looked particularly innocent at this time. "I didn't force you, you insisted on thanking me."
Ruoshuiyue's eyes widened a bit in an instant. "But I never said I wanted to thank you in that way! Pervert!"
"That's what I said, but you also know that as an emperor, I lack everything, but I just lack your tenderness, madam, don't you?" As he said this, Xiahou Yexiu looked at Ruoshuiyue again with an evil look on his face.
Up.
However, before his face could get closer to Ruoshuiyue, he pushed her away again. "Stop talking nonsense and go out to drive the carriage. I'm tired and have to go back to sleep!"
"What's the hurry? It won't be too late for us to go back after you finish reporting me, madam!"
"You are so beautiful, hurry up and drive the carriage for me, otherwise I will walk back by myself!" As she said that, Ruoshuiyue looked like she was about to get off the carriage.
"I'm afraid of you, so I'll go now." Upon seeing this, Xiahou Yesiu suddenly felt at a loss and moved forward reluctantly. "Are you really not going to thank me?" As soon as he moved a step, he
Seeing Xiahou Yexiu looking pitiful, he turned around and asked Ruoshuiyue.
Hearing this, Ruoshuiyue didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and just rolled his eyes at him.
After pouting, Xiahou Yesiu finally gave up and got into the front to drive the carriage with a depressed look on his face.
That night was an absolute good day for Ruoshuiyue, but it was the most painful day for Ji Shenjue's family.
Holding the human skin scroll and the box of bone jewelry, Ji Shenluoyan cried and fainted no less than ten times, while Ji Shenjue was not much better, sitting on the chair stupidly, and every time she sat down, she fainted.
Accommodation.
The next day, just after dawn, Ji Shenjue, who had been unable to avoid a night, snatched the human skin scroll and the box of bone jewelry from Ji Shenluoyan's arms, and rushed directly towards Leng Zijunhao's Qiu Mansion.
However, as soon as he stepped out, Ji Shenluoyan followed him with his back foot.
"Why did you come with me?" Looking at Ji Shenluoyan, who still looked embarrassed, Ji Shenjue's brows suddenly furrowed.
No longer the painful and heartbroken look she had that night, Ji Shenluoyan's dark eyes were full of ruthlessness. "As a mother of a child, I must know who the murderer was who brutally murdered my child."
"You... got it!" Ji Shenjue wanted to say something else, but when he noticed the determination in her eyes, he finally nodded.
Without any servants, Ji Shenjue and his wife appeared in Leng Zijunhao's Qiu Mansion extremely quickly using Qinggong.
"You are so brave, you actually dare to break into the Qiu Mansion privately." As soon as the couple landed, the high-pitched voice of the guard suddenly rang in their ears.
"Take me to see Leng Zi Junhao." Looking at the other party coldly, Ji Shenjue had no intention of talking nonsense with him at the moment and went directly to Leng Zi Junhao.
"Is your Highness also someone you can see if you want?" The guard didn't know the identities of Ji Shenjue and others, so he replied disdainfully.
"Seeking death." After hearing this, Ji Shenjue, who was already in a depressed mood, became furious. He raised his inner strength and waved his palms to attack the guard.
However, just when Ji Shenjue was about to hit the guard, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them at an extremely fast speed and blocked Ji Shenjue's fatal move.
As soon as he saw Leng Zi Junhao, the guard hurriedly reported the situation. "Your Highness, these two people..." However, before he could finish speaking, Leng Zi Junhao's look forced him to step back.
Leng Zi Junhao's cold and indifferent eyes fell on the mask on Ji Shenjue's face. "I wonder why the regent came to see me so early in the morning?" Could it be because Ji Shenmeng was raped yesterday?
What about Yue'er's angry beating?
Hearing this, Ji Shenjue refused to talk nonsense and directly opened the brocade box and scroll in his hand. "Tell me, does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Frowning his brows slightly, Leng Zijunhao was obviously displeased with Ji Shenjue's question. "What is this?"
"You'll know if you look carefully."
After looking at Ji Shenjue and his wife who looked unhappy, Leng Zijunhao still lowered his head to look at the thing in his hand. When he saw the thing in his hand clearly, Leng Zijunhao's expression changed drastically in an instant. "This is, this is
yes???"
There was no rush to answer Leng Zijunhao's question. Ji Shenjue and his wife just stared at him with complicated eyes, as if they wanted to see the slightest clue on his face.
Noticing the looks in the eyes of Ji Shenjue and his wife, Leng Zijunhao's face suddenly darkened, and he asked them unhappily, "What do you mean by this?"
Hearing this, Ji Shenjue said with a sad look on his face. "This is a portrait made of the human skins of our children, and this piece of jewelry is made of their bones."
"How could such a thing happen?" Leng Zijunhao didn't have the slightest regret or sympathy for what happened to Ji Shenjue's children. He was just curious, whose hands would this be? The method could be so cruel.
"Wait a minute, why did you come to me with this thing? Why don't you suspect that I did this?" Before Ji Shenjue and his wife could answer, Leng Zijunhao suddenly realized something.
Then his face darkened again.
"We don't want to come so presumptuously, but the person who brought these two things said..." Before Ji Shenjue finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly stopped. Zhao Lengzi Junhao
Judging from his current attitude, he probably still doesn't know about his assassination of those two scoundrels. If he really knew about it, how could he, as the biological father of those two scoundrels, be so indifferent? But in that case,
Then we can't let him know about this, otherwise other troubles will definitely arise. Just looking at it this way, if Leng Zijunhao didn't do this, then it must have been done by Xiahou Yexiu!
"What did they say?" Leng Zijunhao raised his eyebrows and asked with an evil look on his face.
"They said that this matter was either done by you or Xiahou Yexiu. Of course, I also believe that this matter was definitely not done by you, so I came to confirm with you." With a flash of his eyes, Ji Shenjue was very surprised.
He explained calmly.
"That's it." He glanced at Ji Shenjue coldly, and Leng Zijunhao nodded thoughtfully. Did Xiahou Yexiu do it? No wonder the method is so cruel. But also, if the method is not cruel, then it is
It's not him, Xiahou Yexiu.
"Now that we have the answer to the matter, we won't bother you anymore and say goodbye." Although he and Leng Zijunhao are currently in a cooperative relationship, Ji Shenjue also knows very well that he is by no means a kind person. Therefore, he still stays away from him on this matter.
He is talkative.
"Wait a minute." Before Ji Shenjue and his wife could leave, they were stopped by Leng Zijunhao who suddenly came back to his senses.
Looking back, Ji Shenjue and his wife looked at him with puzzled faces.
"There is something I would like to discuss with you, Prince Regent, alone. Please, Prince Regent, please move over and speak."
After winking at Ji Shenluoyan, Ji Shenjue followed Leng Zijunhao towards the pavilion on the side.
