With Lin Zhiyun's words echoing in his mind, Zhong Wen's expression was changing, and his heart was in turmoil. All kinds of speculations flashed before his eyes, almost causing his brain to shut down.
Even when he first understood Yuchi Chun Gou's divine severing move, his brain had never felt such pressure.
Suddenly, the image in his mind was fixed on the scene of Yuchi Chungou standing behind Li Yiru. The swordsman supreme looked at Empress Daqian with such gentle and kind eyes, as if a young boy was looking at his sweetheart affectionately.
Could it be...
Brother Yuchi likes the emperor's sister?
Zhong Wen's pupils expanded rapidly, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
This is a guess that seems incredible at first glance, but is quite reasonable when you think about it carefully.
He couldn't think of any other explanation other than love for a thousand-year-old virgin who only had the sword in his heart to show such a look.
As for the character who is dominated by the sword, once he confirms his emotions, he will never hesitate or procrastinate like ordinary people, but will directly express his thoughts to Li Yiru.
The so-called "invitation" mentioned by Lin Zhiyun was probably Yuchi Chungou expressing his love to Li Yiru, or even proposing.
If the emperor's sister agrees...
When he thought of the scene of Li Yiru falling into Yuchi Chungou's arms, Zhong Wen's face instantly darkened. Waves of discomfort surged up from his stomach, goosebumps appeared on the surface of his skin, and he felt that his whole body was not well.
Why is this happening?
This is a matter between brother Yuchi and the emperor's sister, and it should have nothing to do with me!
The emperor's sister and I are just friends!
If she meets someone with whom we are in love, what reason do I have to feel sad, and what position do I have to object?
Zhong Wen, you already have so many confidantes, aren't you satisfied?
Do you have to have every pretty girl you know in your room to be willing to do so?
What a despicable and shameless idea this is?
Zhong Wen suddenly raised his right hand and slapped himself hard. His cheeks instantly turned a blood-like color, and a red line slowly slipped from the corner of his mouth and fell to the ground along his chin.
With this palm, he seemed to have used ten percent of his strength.
A delicate white jade hand suddenly came from the side and squeezed his palm gently, letting out a warm and friendly aura.
"Sister Palace Master."
Zhong Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Am I a bad man?"
"Why do you say that?" Lin Zhiyun asked softly.
"I heard that brother Yuchi wants to keep the emperor's sister."
Zhong Wen grasped Lin Zhiyun's smooth and tender hair, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and couldn't help but pour out the troubles in his heart, "I felt so tight in my chest that I could hardly breathe."
"Can't bear to part with it?"
Lin Zhiyun said with a smile.
"maybe."
Zhong Wen pondered for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "I am the one who deliberately keeps a distance from the emperor's sister, but when I think of her falling into the arms of others, I feel awkward all over and I can't let it go no matter what."
"It turns out she is in your heart."
Lin Zhiyun looked calm and didn't seem angry, "It's so important."
"Is it important?"
Zhong Wen scratched his head, with a trace of confusion on his face, "If it's really important, why would I take the initiative to turn her away?"
"The me before."
Lin Zhiyun was silent for a long time, and finally whispered, "Isn't this the same way I treat you?"
"ha?"
Zhong Wen was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her in confusion.
"That's how people are."
Lin Zhiyun said meaningfully, "It is often only after losing something that one learns to cherish it."
Zhong Wen trembled all over, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
At first he fell in love with Lin Zhiyun at first sight and showed great attentiveness to her, but the palace mistress' sister always acted hot and cold, and seemed distant.
It was not until the three women survived the calamity together that the power of the calamity greatly increased and almost killed Zhong Wen. Lin Zhiyun suddenly woke up and realized her true inner thoughts, and her attitude changed sharply, which finally led to this beautiful marriage.
"Obviously, I have a beautiful woman like the Palace Master's sister as my companion, but I'm still worried about other women."
He looked ashamed and whispered, "Aren't you... angry?"
"I might have been angry before, but now..."
Lin Zhiyun suddenly covered her lips with her bare hands, smiled sweetly and said, "You will get used to everything if you have experienced it too much."
Zhong Wen's face turned red and his cheeks felt hot. He smiled cautiously, not even daring to take a breath.
"I'm teasing you!"
Lin Zhiyun suddenly came close to his ear, blew lightly and said, "If it's an unknown woman outside, I'll naturally be angry, but if it's Your Majesty Yi Ru, then that's a different story."
Zhong Wen stared blankly at her stunningly beautiful face, speechless for a long time.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Zhiyun asked with a smile.
"Sister Palace Master has also changed a lot."
Zhong Wen said sincerely, "The honest man who used to be visited by ordinary people for debt collection now actually knows how to play tricks on others."
"screw you!"
Lin Zhiyun's pretty face turned slightly red, and she flicked his forehead with her scallion-like index finger, and spat in a coquettish yet angry voice.
"Sister Palace Master like this is even more fascinating."
Zhong Wen chuckled and asked, "But why do you look at the emperor's sister so differently?"
"Ever since she was a princess, Yiru has taken great care of our Piaohua Palace, and she has been entangled with you for a long time and has a deep bond."
Lin Zhiyun replied without thinking, "In my heart, she is not an outsider. It would be really uneasy for such a good girl to marry a man other than her husband."
"Sister Palace Master..."
Zhong Wen stared closely into her beautiful eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Just go."
Lin Zhiyun stretched out her white jade-like right hand and gave him a gentle push on the shoulder. The smile on her face was so warm and kind, and the air around her seemed to soften a lot. "No matter what your husband thinks in your heart, you must meet him first."
That’s it.”
"Um."
Zhong Wen was silent for a moment, then suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, "I'll be back as soon as I go."
When he said the word "I", he was still standing next to Lin Zhiyun, but when the word "lai" came out, he had already appeared on the other side of the Shanzhai Sword Palace.
There, the steward Hao Ye was having a weird contest with the Corpse King Qin Zixiao.
Around Qin Zixiao, there were seven or forty-nine purple-gold spiritual swords floating, each of them sharp and unexpected, exuding domineering power and exuding a terrifying power that even Zhong Wen was frightened.
These many spiritual swords shot out at an unimaginable speed, swishing and swishing towards the location of Master Hao. In terms of visual effects alone, they were far superior to Wang Shi who controlled twelve flying swords.
two.
However, Mr. Hao did not fight back with his sword. Instead, he put his hands behind his back, moved his steps gracefully, and dodged the spirit swords shot from all directions one by one. He had a faint smile on his face, looking relaxed and calm.
It didn't seem strenuous at all.
The two of them went on a crazy attack, one of them couldn't help but dodge, and they had a great time.
Not far away, Li Yiru stood there handsomely, his beautiful big eyes paying attention to the battle situation without blinking, a pair of pink fists tightly clenched at his sides, his expression faintly nervous, and he was completely unaware of Zhong Wen's arrival.
Seeing her graceful white figure, Zhong Wen couldn't help but feel ups and downs and had a myriad of thoughts.
He just stared at Empress Daqian quietly without saying a word, minimizing his presence.
"What's the point of playing in the same place all the time?"
Master Hao suddenly froze, waved to Qin Zixiao and said, "Let's change the environment and fight again!"
After saying that, he moved his feet, decisively spread out his body skills, and ran straight into the distance.
Qin Zixiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, quickly took long strides and walked in the air, chasing after him with seven or forty-nine powerful spiritual swords.
The two of them walked in tandem and soon disappeared from Li Yiru's sight.
Empress Daqian was stunned for a moment. She couldn't figure out why Master Hao suddenly changed the battlefield, and subconsciously looked around.
At this glance, she immediately discovered Zhong Wen's presence, and her whole body froze instantly, as if a immobilization spell had been exerted on her, and she could no longer move.
The two just stared at each other quietly, neither of them spoke.
silence.
Deathly silence.
It was as if everyone in the world had disappeared, leaving only this young man and woman alone.
The flow of time seems to become extremely slow.
A short moment feels like an eternity.
"you……"
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yiru suddenly said, "Are you leaving?"
"you……"
Zhong Wen did not answer, but asked, "Do you want to stay?"
What followed was another burst of silence.
"I……"
Li Yiru's delicate body trembled, and she felt like her heart was in a state of confusion. Her mouth and brain seemed to belong to two different people and had no connection with each other. "He, he said he needs me, but I don't know whether I should stay or not." Down."
"you……"
That feeling of extreme discomfort hit his heart again. Zhong Wen gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to ask, "Do you like him?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he stared at Empress Daqian's beautiful red lips, and the string in his heart instantly tightened to the extreme.
When he thought of the answer the other party might give, he suddenly regretted asking this question.
"dislike."
Li Yiru's overly straightforward answer greatly exceeded his expectations.
