It was obviously a casual remark, but Luo Qingluan heard a hint of temptation.

Purpose?

Xiao Yuqi really tested her, and wanted to know her purpose?

With a casual glance, Luo Qingluan had already seen the situation in the inner hall clearly. There are no windows in the dim palace room, the sunlight does not come in, there are not many furnishings, and a gorgeous bed, carved with a delicate peony flower pattern, now looks extremely old.

The messy footprints on the floor made it even more difficult for the dust to accumulate a thick layer, the bowl of broken leftovers was trampled on in the mud, and the corpses that fell to the ground also accumulated a pool of blood, which was simply unbearable and indescribable.

The palace lamp in the corner was covered with cyan patina, and it had obviously not been lit for a long time. The light veil on the palace pillar has also faded its bright color, and the old one is full of decay and is in tatters.

"You...... Just living in a place like this? Luo Qingluan asked softly.

"Hehe, it's okay if Nangong Qing didn't kill me, can I still ask for any magnificent residence?" Xiao Yuqi let out a miserable sigh and expressed his sadness these days.

With a turn of his eyes, he said in a deep voice: "Since you are here, it is just right, Qingluan, please go out and tell Nangong Qing, since he agreed to the bet, then treat me fairly, is it fair to be so harsh on me?" ”

Luo Qingluan looked straight at him and only asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

"The bet was just put forward by Nalan Ye, Nangong Qing agreed or not, that's his business, whether he wants to treat you harshly or not is also his business. He is the king of Western Chu, what to do is his freedom and rights, I can't interfere. And Xiao Yuqi, do you know that although Emperor Dongwan agreed to the martial arts competition between you and Nalan Ye, do you know that Emperor Dongwan also made a request for me to gamble with the doctor? ”

As soon as his eyes moved, Xiao Yuqi lowered his head slightly: "I...... I didn't really expect my father to make such a request. ”

"You know!"

Luo Qingluan said suddenly, as if he had noticed something, and laughed: "Xiao Yuqi, who told you before that Dongwan was going to gamble with me?" Otherwise, why weren't you surprised at all when you heard the news? ”

"Qingluan, you ......"

Xiao Yuqi was dumbfounded, and then he reacted and unknowingly, he was deceived by Luo Qingluan.

Such a smart woman, he was fooled if he didn't pay attention, and he was simply his nemesis. But if this is not the case, how can he be willing to use his life to protect and protect her safety? It's a pity that she doesn't know, doesn't understand, doesn't understand.

"Can't answer?"

Luo Qingluan stepped forward, and with a scrutinizing gaze, it fell on Xiao Yu Qi Junyi's face.

A sense of crisis arose, and she understood that if Xiao Yuqi had not given up so far, and was planning some conspiracy, she was afraid that there would be another mess in the gambling of the country at that time. Compared to before, it is definitely more than ever.

"Can't you just stop for a moment, why do you always have to ......?"

"Am I always? Qingluan, did you really misunderstand me like that? ”

Xiao Yuqi suddenly interrupted Luo Qingluan's words, and roared out in a very helpless, hateful, and sad tone: "I am now a prisoner, humiliated and abused, are you happy?" Yes, I was sorry for you before, and I did something that I shouldn't have done, but my identity can't be chosen by me, can't you understand? ”

Thinking of what he had done so much, but he was not grateful, and even turned against her, Xiao Yuqi didn't know if his choice was right or not.

There was no pity in his eyes, he was still clear like a crystal, Luo Qingluan said with a straight face: "Xiao Yuqi, you are now taking the blame for yourself, you killed so many people for your own selfishness, and you still want me to understand you?" ”

"Yes, I used to admire you and treat you as a confidant and friend, but that's why I fell for you. If you still think about the friendship you once had, I advise you not to mess around again, even if you lose to Nalan Ye this time, you won't die. When you return to Dongwan, you can explain it to your father and the emperor......"

Until Luo Qingluan finished speaking, Xiao Yuqi didn't speak.

There was silence in the hall, as if it could not be dissolved, and there was no anger at all.

Until now, Luo Qingluan couldn't see through Xiao Yuqi's inner thoughts, once this man really moved his heart, he was almost as gloomy as Nalan Ye, so she couldn't guess through it, couldn't see through it, and could only be careful to guard against it.

"If, I say if...... I did all this for you, can you believe it? I don't know how long he was silent, Xiao Yuqi finally tentatively said this sentence. The aftermath was lingering, and Luo Qingluan's heart was shocked when he heard it.

"For me?" She didn't understand what it meant.

Yes, he did all this to protect her.

Xiao Yuqi understands that his father has suffered a serious blow and is bent on eradicating Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye, even though he is lingering on the sickbed, but as the king of a country, he also has this ability and prestige. As long as he gives an order, the dead soldiers of the Dongwan royal family will be dispatched, and no matter how powerful Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan are, they will still be unable to prevent it.

It may not be so easy to destroy Xichu, but it will be much easier to kill two people.

In order to stop all this, Xiao Yuqi can not care about Nalan Ye's life, anyway, Nalan Ye has nothing to do with him, but he can't help but care about Luo Qingluan's life! She is the most important woman in his life, and even if he can't embrace her, he longs for a friendship with her that will last a lifetime.

Use this friendship to maintain the fate between him and her......

"Do you believe it, Qingluan?" With anticipation, Xiao Yuqi asked.

There was no response, all he waited for was silence.

Time passed little by little, neither of them spoke, Xiao Yuqi looked at Luo Qingluan quietly, and his heart became worried. This is the first time he has asked, he has no extra luxury, he just hopes to get Luo Qingluan's understanding, just believe it.

"Really?"

Ke Luo Qingluan's answer disappointed him after all.

Dressed in beautiful white, Luo Qingluan stood three steps away from Xiao Yuqi, his heart did not waver in the slightest.

"I only want to ask you one thing, what happened in the Kongming Hall yesterday, do you know?" This is one of the purposes for her to come to Xiao Yuqi, she wants to know if he is involved in this matter.

Kongming Palace, the poisoning of the Queen Mother?

Xiao Yuqi naturally understood that from the very beginning of this matter, he arranged for Yan Wu and instructed Yao Guifei Long Ning to do it. The purpose is naturally for the spiritual object in Luo Qingluan's hand, the thousand-year-old ice silkworm!

It's just that Luo Qingluan came too fast, and it wasn't yet night, he didn't get Yan Wu's report, and he didn't know if he succeeded. But looking at Luo Qingluan's appearance of Xingshi asking for guilt, should it be ......

Subconsciously a little worried, Xiao Yuqi was not sure if the sneak attack of the Yan Five faction had hurt Luo Qingluan, and looked her up and down: "What's the matter, what happened to the Kongming Palace?" I heard that it was the place where the Empress Dowager of Western Chu cultivated, could it be that the Empress Dowager had some accident? ”

Staring at Xiao Yuqi's puzzled face, Luo Qingluan said word by word: "You really don't know? ”

Xiao Yuqi replied very firmly: "I don't know." ”

He only cares about Luo Qingluan, and as for the others, it has nothing to do with him if they die.

"Okay, I'll tell you!"

I don't know where the anger came from, Luo Qingluan suddenly raised his voice: "Someone sneaked in secretly and poisoned the Queen Mother, if it wasn't discovered in time, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother would have had an accident now." Xiao Yuqi, now you are the most suspicious in the palace, you say, did you send someone to attack the Queen Mother? ”

Listening to Luo Qingluan's words, Xiao Yuqi looked inexplicable and aggrieved: "Qingluan, I am a prisoner, how can I still do such a thing?" If something happens to the Queen Mother, I can be blamed, could it be that anyone in Xichu has a problem, and I did it? ”

"Who are you if it's not you?" Luo Qingluan asked aggressively.

"How do I know!" Xiao Yuqi roared in a low voice, as if he had spewed out all the suppressed anger in his body, and gasped heavily.

Could it really not be him?

Luo Qingluan still couldn't get rid of the suspicion in his heart, and said coldly with his eyes: "Okay, then let me ask you, even if the affairs of the Queen Mother were not instructed by you, then on the way back to the palace yesterday, I sent someone to rob my things, was that group of people sent by you?" ”

"If it weren't for my luck and the protection of the guards, I'm afraid that I would be injured if I didn't die!"

"What, Qingluan, you ......"

Xiao Yuqi suddenly became anxious, took Luo Qingluan's hand, and looked up and down, as if she was afraid that something really happened to her: "Where are you injured?" What happened, what happened to them? ”

"You're still saying it's okay with you? What are you nervous about? ”

Xiao Yuqi's attitude proved something more and more, Luo Qingluan was not sure if he was covering it up, or if he was really worried about hurting her, once he had doubts in his heart, he would never come back.

Forcibly shaking off Xiao Yuqi's hand, Luo Qingluan took a few steps back and said with a cold face: "If you don't know about Dongwan and me's medical gambling, maybe I will still believe you." But you already knew it, and you also knew that the thousand-year-old ice silkworm you gave me before could cure all diseases, so yesterday's sneak attack made sense. Xiao Yuqi, I don't want to hear what you explain, everything has been proven. ”

was easily guessed by Luo Qingluan, Xiao Yuqi became more and more impressed by her cleverness.

If the two are friends with each other, then her cleverness is worthy of his appreciation and pride, but at the moment the two are hostile, Luo Qingluan is too smart, and he can't help but be in a passive position if he guesses it.

"Qingluan, do you really think I'm going to do such a thing? I'm going to do it to you? ”

Xiao Yuqi shook his head, his face full of bitterness: "You underestimate me too much." ”

"The thousand-year-old ice silkworm is a gift I am willing to give to you, because only in your hands can such a divine object play its due role and not destroy the heavenly thing. Although there is some misunderstanding between us, I will never be against you, you don't want to think, how can I ever hurt you? ”

"I almost died in Puji Temple, didn't you do it? I lost my memory, I was deceived by you, and Lin Yixuan almost had an accident, Nalan ran thousands of miles at night, didn't you do it? Listening to Xiao Yuqi's quibbles again and again, Luo Qingluan couldn't hold back his anger: "It's in vain that I trust you, Xiao Yuqi, you let me down too much!" ”

She didn't know at all, she didn't know anything!

Unable to speak, unable to confide, Xiao Yuqi tasted this for the first time.
