Huo Wuyou was still pretending to smile calmly, until his eyes became redder and redder, and the corners of his mouth became as stiff as a cold light.
"Zhiyi..." He called softly, as if he was trying hard to suppress the pain in his heart.
He frowned slightly, and the calmness he had been suppressing was instantly shattered. His moist eyes were filled with hatred, and his voice seemed to contain blood.
"Zhi Yi... Before, I only wanted to find the real culprit and then take revenge. But since I found out who the real culprit is, I found that I have such a strong desire to personally kill those who harmed my father and brother. Even if it means ripping out their hearts and livers, or being tortured to death by slow slicing, it would not be too much!"
His lips trembled slightly, and there was some mist on his eyelashes: "You know what? I really want to take Helian You's life today! But I can't let Helian You die in Dayong for personal revenge. I can't give Beidi a reason to provoke a war here!"
After he said this, he leaned against the rock wall, his hollow eyes drooping as he adjusted his rising and falling breathing.
"Did I scare you?" he asked her in a hoarse voice.
But Xue Zhiyi was not afraid at all. Instead, for the first time, she felt that Huo Wuyou's sharp claws and her vicious fangs complemented each other perfectly.
She smiled in response, "What's so scary? Right and wrong should all be dealt with accordingly. Otherwise, the heavens would be blind. But above the heavens, there are 70,000 heroic souls waiting for the Marquis of Lin'an to argue for them. The Marquis will surely avenge their grudges."
Xue Zhiyi seemed to feel the joy of smelling something of his own kind.
They all harbored so much hatred and were so impatient that they wanted to tear apart the people who had wronged them without restraint.
That’s great. She likes Huo Wuyou like this very much.
She raised her hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of Huo Wuyou's eyes, and said softly: "I will accompany you."
She liked Huo Wuyou, but she always felt that such a bright and unrestrained person was very far away from her who was hidden in the darkness.
It was the first time she felt they were so close.
Huo Wuyou had not yet realized what she was thinking, he just felt that the warm fingertips made his heart soften for a moment.
He hugged Xue Zhiyi, and their overlapping heartbeats gave him a temporary place to rest his helpless heart.
"Thank you, Zhiyi," he said.
Xue Zhiyi only heard: "You will definitely get what you want."
No matter what, Xue Zhiyi knew that the Zhao family of Yongping Hou would surely die.
Because in the previous life, not long after Huo Wuyou's death, the Zhao family received their retribution.
That snowy night, she treated the injuries of a strange man in a dilapidated temple.
The next morning, they learned that a major incident had occurred in the city last night - someone massacred the Yongping Marquis' Mansion, and more than 200 people in the Zhao Mansion were killed, even Xue Panrou was not spared.
She didn't know whether the person the Imperial City Bureau was chasing that night was the murderer, nor did she know whether the family was wiped out by that person.
But if that person really participated in the Qionglin Banquet, it means that this person is still in the court in this life, and then it is possible that he will massacre the Zhao family again.
I just don’t know whether the disaster of annihilating the whole family will happen again since many things in this life have gone off the track.
If only I could find that person.
But there was one thing she didn't understand. If Zhao Xu was the one who colluded with the enemy, then why did he frame Shen Chiyan in his previous life?
Logically speaking, they were all Gu Shichong's people in their previous lives.
Was it Zhao Xu's act of saving his life, or an internal struggle within Prince Gong's party?
Suddenly, Huo Wuyou loosened his arms around her and asked her, "What are you thinking about?"
Huo Wuyou had regained his composure at this moment. Seeing her deep in thought, he couldn't help but ask a question.
Xue Zhiyi was dazed and said, "I was thinking about Gu Shichong."
"What?" Huo Wuyou was stunned. "What do you want him to do for no reason?"
Seeing his unhappy face, Xue Zhiyi knew that he had just calmed down a little when his bad behavior came out again.
She said, "I was thinking that Gu Shichong was too calm today."
Hearing this, he frowned: "Are you saying that he is too indifferent to the Ge family's affairs today?"
After Helian Youyu was discovered, he also went to Liuhua Pavilion. Recalling the scene at Liuhua Pavilion, he said, "Gu Shichong did try to defend Ge Jingyang and seemed very anxious, but I always felt that something was wrong."
At this point, he suddenly smiled lightly: "But then again, with such a terrible thing happening, Gu Shichong has no chance to ask your uncle for you."
Feeling proud again.
"In short, we still have to keep a close eye on them. The Ge family will definitely take action to save Ge Jingyang."
Huo Wuyou nodded: "Of course."
Glancing at the hazy sky outside the rockery, Xue Zhiyi urged him, "It's getting late. Marquis Lin'an should leave the palace soon."
Huo Wuyou also followed her gaze. They had indeed wasted a lot of time, and it was time to leave in order to avoid trouble.
But thinking of Xue Zhiyi's rare gentleness today, he felt a little reluctant, so he became bolder and moved closer to Xue Zhiyi.
"Is there anything else, Marquis of Lin'an?" Xue Zhiyi asked him.
But Huo Wuyou repeated the action he had taken in the library today and pointed to his face: "Kiss me."
He knew that Xue Zhiyi had been nervous all day, and now he just wanted to tease her before leaving and hear her call his name in frustration.
But suddenly, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt a warm breath brushing against his cheek, and something soft touched his face like a dragonfly skimming the water and then separated...
His pupils trembled, and he covered his face and quickly turned to look at Xue Zhiyi, only to see that Xue Zhiyi just avoided his sight and lightly covered his lips.
As if realizing it belatedly, he chuckled, and his features instantly became bright and clear.
But Xue Zhiyi quickly said "I'm leaving" and turned to leave.
He tried to reach out and pull her back, but maybe it was because of the kiss that made his mind a little intoxicated, and his movements became much clumsy. Before he could grab her, he watched her trot out of the rockery.
In his annoyance, he was so happy that he could not contain himself. He turned around a few times in the rockery and almost shouted out loud.
…
Here, Xue Zhiyi raised his hand and gently fanned the heat off his cheeks.
She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of closeness to him as if possessed by a ghost.
Fortunately, there was this palace gate separating them, so they seldom met each other. Otherwise, Huo Wuyou would have been so proud of himself in front of her for who knows how long because of this kiss.
At this moment, most of the guests had left the palace, leaving only some people from the Dali Temple. Because they were investigating the assassination, they left a little late and were being led out of the palace by palace maids and eunuchs.
On the way back to Jianzhang Palace, she suddenly saw two people talking in a remote corner of the palace road ahead. Judging from their attire, one was a palace maid and the other was wearing official uniform.
It seems that she and Huo Wuyou are not the only ones who took the opportunity to meet secretly tonight.
So she quickly hid herself behind a tree.
In the dim morning light, she tried to see the two people clearly.
Looks so familiar...
She blinked, and after finally confirming the identities of the two people, her heart was shocked.
Chai Yue and Jiang Xu? How do they know each other?!
Jiang Xu is Prince Cheng's man, so did Chai Yue also betray the Queen Mother?
She had to find a chance to tell Huo Wuyou.
