It was pitch black all around, with only a little light coming in from the small windows outside.
Xie Shizhu was like a mouse forced into a corner, with no way to escape.
It was she who caused Xie Ji to become like this.
Xie Ji used to be innocent and followed her like a tail.
It's like you can't get rid of it.
He would also pull at the corner of her clothes and smile faintly: "Wherever the emperor sister goes, I will go."
But now, that innocent and cheerful boy has become a stranger.
Xie Shizhu shrank back, but Xie Ji easily hooked his hand around her collar, holding her in place.
The hatred in Xie Ji's eyes was about to burst out, his eyes were bloodshot and there was a smile on the corners of his lips.
However, the smile did not reach his eyes.
Xie Ji said, "Royal sister, you should have expected this day to come since you joined forces with Zhong Changyao."
Xie Shizhu looked up at Xie Ji. Even though he was smiling, she still felt a little scared.
Her mind raced, thinking about how to escape from this man whose nerves were already filled with hatred.
If she doesn't resolve the problem quickly, her life will fall into an endless abyss.
The young man in front of her was staring straight at her with his dark eyes.
According to the plot, she was locked up by Xie Ji.
He ended his life in this dark and damp house.
Instead, Xie Ji took back everything that belonged to him.
Because the original owner colluded with the national teacher to instigate rebellion and took the throne.
But Xie Ji still had a trick up his sleeve.
The rest of the plot has nothing to do with Xie Shizhu. It is all about the love, hatred and vengeance between Xie Ji, the national teacher Zhong Changyao and the heroine Jiang Li.
Xie Shizhu quickly thought of a solution.
Her hands were tied, so she could only lift them up with difficulty, and gently pull Xie Ji's belt as before.
This action startled the young man in front of him.
Those memories from the past filled his mind.
The woman who often took him out of the palace stood up, stood in front of him and took the punishment when her father blamed her.
Even after being beaten with a stick, she still came to comfort herself.
Just like now, she pulled the belt around his waist and said with red eyes: "Brother, next time I won't let father find out, and I will buy you candied haws from the market outside the palace."
Xie Shizhu noticed the complex look in Xie Ji's eyes and quickly squeezed out two tears.
She bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "I was simply bewitched and made a mistake in a moment of delusion. If it means I can avenge my brother, I'm willing to bite my tongue and commit suicide."
After saying this, Xie Shizhu blinked and tears slid down the corners of his eyes to his chin.
Her appearance is so pitiful that I feel sorry for her.
The system witnessed everything from a god's perspective, and seeing Xie Shizhu's appearance, it sighed: [Another source of trouble! ! ]
Xie Shizhu has a thin figure, and her light blue uniform is a little loose on her. She has an oval face, delicate features, and exudes a sense of spirituality.
Coupled with her watery eyes, she looks like a fairy.
Xie Ji moved his hand away, gently pinched her chin with his fingertips, and looked at her carefully with his eyes that could see through people's hearts.
He seemed to be trying to discern the truth from her words.
Xie Ji opened his thin lips slightly and said, "Being bewitched? Is that Zhong Changyao that the Imperial Sister is talking about?"
Xie Shizhu suddenly bit his lip and said nothing.
The system sneered: [Host, you lied again!]
Xie Shizhu said: "I will tell a lie for the last time, and I will never do it again."
The system had already seen through the host and thought that Xie Shizhu was probably lying.
Even the punctuation marks in what this woman says cannot be trusted.
Seeing that she remained silent, Xie Ji reached out and touched the woman's hair, then said with a dagger hidden in his smile, "Then I will go and kill him."
Xie Shizhu was stunned and shocked.
If Zhong Changyao was killed, she would probably be completely finished.
In this palace, Zhong Changyao is the only one who belongs to her side.
"No." Xie Shizhu subconsciously refuted his words.
At this moment, Xie Ji's face darkened slightly, and he said with a half-smile: "Why?"
Just as he finished speaking, voices were heard outside, interrupting the solemn and subtle atmosphere between the two people inside.
Xie Shizhu held his breath and listened to the sound.
Several men were talking.
It must be the guards outside who stopped a man and asked him why he appeared here.
The man said he was looking for the empress.
But the guards told him that the empress was not there.
Xie Shizhu recognized it as Zhong Changyao.
Soon, she heard the subtle sound of a sword being drawn, and then a man's low voice came from outside.
"You're lying. Someone once saw the Empress come here."
Xie Shizhu opened her eyes wide, as if she had seen a life-saving straw. She was about to tell Zhong Changyao that she was there, but a cold gaze met her face.
She was forced to swallow her words.
Xie Ji didn't look away for a long time.
"Royal sister, he's just a national teacher. I can help you kill him at any time." The young man touched her cheek lovingly, the corners of his lips raised slightly, "After all, I don't want to see anyone deceive you."
Xie Shizhu was stunned for a few seconds and looked at Xie Ji's face for a long time.
She suddenly thought of a key point.
Xie Ji seemed to have liked Xie Shizhu in the plot.
It's that kind of uncertain love.
He couldn't tell whether it was family affection or love.
Because she was the only one who knew the plot and that she was adopted and had no blood relationship with Xie Ji.
No one knew except her.
Ah, this...
The system was silent for a moment and then said: [This script is more exciting. What's it called? Orthopedics?]
Xie Shizhu rolled his eyes: "Bullshit."
But his love didn't last long, as he was blinded by hatred and turned into resentment.
After saying this, Xie Ji did something that shocked Xie Shizhu.
He pinched the back of the woman's neck, pulled her into his arms, and moved his thin lips closer to Xie Shizhu's.
A kiss fell on Xie Shizhu's lips.
Xie Shizhu: “???”
The system wasn't shocked this time. It said, "Normal. Xie Ji has lost his mind and is capable of anything."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Shizhu felt her head swelling, and she closed her eyelids in a daze. She could still see Xie Ji's face before she fainted.
Xie Shizhu: "..." This kiss is really poisonous.
She never thought that Xie Ji's kiss was drugging her.
The system was also stunned for a moment.
Oh? That's not what happened in the plot.
But it's also true that Xie Ji has probably transferred his hatred to Zhong Changyao.
Xie Shizhu's casual lie made Xie Ji believe that she was really deceived, so now Xie Ji wants to kill Zhong Changyao.
I want Xie Shizhu to faint.
While she is unconscious, get rid of Zhong Changyao.
The system took a breath.
Grass!
The plot collapsed as soon as Xie Shizhu arrived!
How come she is alive and now the male protagonist is dead?
Wait, this is too outrageous.
