As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 264: Protect first and then fight
"what?"

Xie Zhaozhao was slightly startled, "No wonder Tianlao is now—do you mean that His Majesty not only suspects that you are responsible for what happened to King Zhou, but also suspects that King Liang fell ill and died tragically because of you?"

"Who asked me to go there by such a coincidence?" Yun Qi lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, but there was no warmth in his eyes: "I defended myself. He told me not to think too much, but I knew he was Doubting me."

"Perhaps he also thinks that I am ruthless and ruthless, and I have killed my own uncles. Even Dong Palace has had no heirs for 12 years. He may be suspicious of me."

"Haha." Yun Qi laughed out loud, "This is the royal family. The simplest trust for ordinary people is extremely difficult for the royal people."

That was Grandpa Huang, whom he respected and respected with all his heart.

I thought I could have some family happiness, but he thought things were too simple.

"Aqi..."

Xie Zhaozhao whispered, pinched Yun Qi's wrist with his hand, moved his fingers downward, wrapped his own hand around his, and conveyed his own warmth to him, "We cannot control other people's thoughts."

“We can only decide what we do and what we think, we cannot control others.”

"I have never wanted to control others, I just..." Yun Qi half-closed his eyes and said quietly: "It's just a little sad."

"I know."

Xie Zhaozhao pinched his palm with her fingers and looked at Yun Qi's slightly disappointed eyes, feeling a little sad in his heart.

Since she opened her eyes again, she has seen Yun Qi being arrogant, domineering, unruly, and acting cool, but she has never seen him so lost and sad.

This gesture was rarely seen in the previous life.

A pang of sympathy arose in her heart, and she desperately wanted to say something to comfort him.

But the more urgent her heart became, the less she knew how to resolve it. After a moment of silence, she took half a step forward, hugged Yun Qi gently, put her cheek against his heart, and whispered "Ah Qi".

"Zhao Zhao."

Yun Qi's heart skipped a beat, he put his arms around her shoulders and said in a gentle and smiling voice, "I know you understand me."

"Yes." Xie Zhaozhao responded lightly, "Of course I understand you."

After two lifetimes, she had been by his side as a ghost for so many years, listening to many of his unknown thoughts that he confided to Yue in the dead of night. How could she not understand?

Yun Qi buried his face in Xie Zhaozhao's hair, smelling the light fragrance, and the discomfort in his heart gradually disappeared.

The two hugged each other for a long time before Yun Qicai said: "Zhaozhao, shouldn't those who have hurt us be killed?"

"should."

Xie Zhaozhao said warmly: "It's just that His Majesty doesn't know some things. He's not like us -"

At this point, Xie Zhaozhao paused, "The King of Liang and the King of Zhou are both his biological sons. He can't help but care about blood and family ties and think about many things, just like the prince..."

"With the prince's wisdom, he may not be unaware of the wolfish ambitions of King Liang and King Zhou. He may not be aware of the turbulent situation in the East Palace, as well as where those assassinations, overt spears and secret arrows come from."

"But because of blood ties, we can't kill them all."

"It's human nature."

"Take a step back and say that although His Majesty is suspicious of you, seeing what he means, he doesn't intend to do anything to you. Maybe he is not as suspicious as you think. It's just that you are too sensitive."

Yun Qi was silent for a long time before saying, "Maybe... Why did you come here late at night? Did you miss me?"

"……Um."

Xie Zhaozhao responded lightly, "Didn't I leave the capital yesterday? I found my fifth brother, and now the situation with Miss Chen is a little more stable... Then I heard about King Zhou's situation."

"There are also Tianlao, the prince and you. I felt a little strange, so I went to Prince Zhou's Mansion." "What?" Yun Qi frowned, "I said you are wearing night clothes, you are really bold, Prince Zhou’s Mansion is now as big as an iron barrel, but you dare to explore it alone!”

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said: "The more you guard it like an iron barrel, the more people come and go, the better you will find opportunities."

"Besides, I am very familiar with the terrain of Prince Zhou's Mansion... Not only did I check on Prince Zhou's situation, I also went to the courtyard of Mr. Pei, whom he trusted very much."

"The poisoning of King Zhou was most likely directed and performed by himself. This was the poison he took."

Xie Zhaozhao took out the pill and said, "Let's ask Mr. Lu to take a look."

"can."

Yun Qi frowned and said: "Since he likes to use poisoning to make rafts and provoke the emperor's trust in me, then I will continue to do it -"

"You want to kill him?"

"You do not want?"

Xie Zhaozhao was silent for a moment, "If it were still before and his parents and family were gone, I might really want to, but now...he has no reason to die."

Yun Qi also pursed his lips and fell silent.

"Ah Qi." Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyes, "You came back earlier than me, right? What did you think of when you opened your eyes again?"

"I——" Yun Qi pursed his lips tighter.

He knew what she was asking.

This was the first time that the two of them talked about the big dream in their previous life so openly. Yun Qi was a little confused for a moment.

Xie Zhaozhao said softly: "Have you thought carefully about what you want and what path you want to take in the future?"

"I thought about it."

Yun Qi was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "I want those people with ulterior motives to die intact, I want you to be my wife, I want my father and grandpa to be healthy and live a long life, I want this country to be stable and the world to be peaceful... What about you?"

"Me." Xie Zhaozhao said with a low smile: "I want similar things to you, but the order I want is different from yours."

"In order?" Yun Qi was stunned, and then asked: "What order are you in?"

"I want my family to be safe and happy, I want to repay you, and I want those who have harmed me to have a bad end."

"I want to protect." Xie Zhaozhao said seriously: "If someone hinders my protection, then I will not be lenient, but for me, revenge should not be put before protection. Ah Qi, what happened before is what happened before." .”

"I hope you don't get trapped in it. Protect first and then fight."

Yun Qi pondered for a long time before nodding: "What you said makes sense."

God gave him such an opportunity, not to let him sink into hatred, rely on recalling the pain of the past, and then use those pains as motivation to fight endlessly for revenge.

Yun Qi took a breath.

At this moment, he felt that his whole body had relaxed a lot.

It was as if a lock on his body had suddenly been opened.

Xie Zhaozhao said warmly: "Now that King Liang is dead, your grandpa must be sad. If you attack King Zhou again, he will probably be more dissatisfied with you. Even if King Zhou is dead by then, there will be no relationship between your ancestors and your grandchildren." The relationship will definitely be difficult to repair."

"If someone with good intentions spreads some bad news again, your reputation will be ruined. I don't want others to say that you are a violent and bloodthirsty person who killed his own uncle."

The hurt caused by verbal conflicts and rejection and rejection by relatives is sometimes more unbearable than real swords and real attacks.
