Chapter 1020

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

Why?

Xiao Yuqi really tested her. Do you want to know her purpose?

With a casual glance, Luo qingluan had seen the situation of the inner hall. There are no windows in the dark palace, the sun can't penetrate, and there are not many furnishings. A gorgeous bed with exquisite peony patterns is very old now.

The messy footprints on the floor seem to have accumulated a thick layer of dust. The bowl of broken leftovers is muddy. With the bodies lying on the ground, there is also a pool of blood. It's disgusting and unspeakable in my heart.

The palace lanterns in the corner are covered with cyan bronze rust. It is obvious that they have not been lit for a long time. The gauze on the palace column also faded its bright color, old and full of rotten taste.

"You... Live in such a place?" Luo qingluan asked softly.

"Hehe, even if Nangong Qing didn't kill me, can I expect any magnificent residence?" Xiao Yuqi uttered a tragic voice, telling him all his heartache these days.

When his eyes turned, he said in a deep voice: "since you're here, it's just right, qingluan. Please go out and tell Nangong Qing that since he promised the bet, he'll be treated fairly. Is it fair to be so harsh on me?"

Luo qingluan looked at him and asked, "what do you want?"

"The bet was only put forward by Nalan night. Nangong Qing said no. It's his business. Whether to treat you badly is also his business. He is the king of Western Chu. What he does is his freedom and right. I can't interfere. And Xiao Yuqi, do you know that although Dongwan emperor promised you to compete with Nalan night, do you know that Dongwan emperor also asked me to compete with him "A game of medical gambling?"

His eyes moved, Xiao Yuqi bowed his head slightly: "I... I didn't expect my father to make such a request."

"You really know!"

Luo qingluan suddenly said, as if he noticed something, and smiled: "Xiao Yuqi, who told you that Dongwan wanted to gamble with me? Otherwise, you wouldn't be surprised to hear this news?"

"Qingluan, you..."

Xiao Yuqi was dumb. He just reacted. Unconsciously, he was cheated by Luo qingluan.

He was fooled by such a clever woman without paying attention. She was his nemesis. But if not, how could he be willing to protect her with his life? Unfortunately, she doesn't know, understand or understand all this.

"Can't answer?"

Luo qingluan stepped forward and fell on Xiao Yu and Qi Junyi's face with a look of examination.

A sense of crisis came into being. She knew that if Xiao Yuqi didn't give up his mind and was planning some conspiracy, she was afraid that there would be another trouble in the country's gambling at that time. Compared with before, there are definitely more.

"Can't you stop? Why do you always..."

"I always? Qingluan, do you really misunderstand me like this?"

Xiao Yuqi suddenly interrupted Luo qingluan's words and roared out in a helpless, hated and sad tone: "are you happy that I am now a prisoner and humiliated and abused by others? Yes, I was sorry for you and did what I shouldn't do before, but my identity can't be chosen by me, can't you understand?"

Remembering that he had done so much, but was not grateful, and even turned against her, Xiao Yuqi didn't know whether his choice was right or not.

There was no pity in his eyes. He was still as clear as a crystal. Luo qingluan said, "Xiao Yuqi, you are now to blame. You killed so many people for your own personal gain. Do you want me to understand you?"

"Yes, I once appreciated you and regarded you as a close friend, but that's why I was fooled by you. If you still think about your friendship, I advise you not to mess around again. Even if you lose to Nalan night this time, you won't die. When you return to Dongwan, you can explain to your father..."

Until Luo qingluan finished, Xiao Yuqi didn't speak.

There was a dead silence in the temple, as if it could not be melted, and there was no vitality.

Until now, Luo qingluan couldn't see through Xiao Yuqi's inner thoughts. Once the man really moved his mind, he was almost as gloomy as Nalan night, so that she couldn't guess and see through, so she had to be careful.

"If, I said if... I did all this for you, do you believe it?" I don't know how long he was silent, Xiao Yuqi finally tried to say this sentence. The lingering sound curled up, and Luo qingluan was shocked.

"For me?" She's a little confused.

Yes, he did all this to protect her.

Xiao Yuqi understood that his father had suffered a serious blow and was bent on eradicating Luo qingluan and Nalan night. Even though he was in bed, as the king of a country, he also had this ability and prestige. As long as he gives an order, the dead of the Dongwan royal family are out in full force. Nalan night and Luo qingluan are still too powerful to prevent.

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

In order to stop all this, Xiao Yuqi can ignore Nalan night's life. Anyway, Nalan night has nothing to do with him, but he can't ignore Luo qingluan's life! She is the most valued woman in his life. Even if he can't hold her in his arms, he is eager to have a lifelong friendship with her.

Use this friendship to maintain the fate between him and her

"Do you believe it, qingluan?" With expectation, Xiao Yuqi asked.

There was no response. All he waited for was silence.

Little by little time passed, and neither of them spoke. Xiao Yuqi quietly looked at Luo qingluan and felt uneasy. This is the first time he asked. He has no superfluous extravagance. He just wants Luo qingluan to understand and believe.

"Really?"

Keluo qingluan's answer finally disappointed him.

Dressed in pure white, Luo qingluan stood three steps away from Xiao Yuqi, and his mind did not waver.

"I only ask you one thing. Do you know what happened in the Kongming hall yesterday?" This is one of the purposes of her coming to Xiao Yuqi. She wants to know whether he is involved in this matter.

Kongming hall, Queen Mother poisoning?

Xiao Yuqi naturally understood that from the beginning, he arranged Yan Wu and instructed imperial concubine long Ning to do it. The purpose is naturally for the spirit thing in Luo qingluan's hand - the Millennium ice silkworm!

But Luo qingluan came so fast that he didn't get Yanwu's report in the evening. He didn't know whether he had succeeded or not. But looking at Luo qingluan's appearance of asking questions, shouldn't it be

Subconsciously, Xiao Yuqi was worried. He was not sure whether the sneak attack by Yan Wu's people had hurt Luo qingluan. He looked up and down at her: "what's the matter? What happened to the Kongming hall? I heard that it was the place where the Empress Dowager of the Western Chu Dynasty repaired. Did something happen to the Empress Dowager?"

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

Xiao Yuqi answered firmly, "I don't know."

He only cares about Luo qingluan. As for others, death has nothing to do with him.

"Well, I'll tell you!"

I don't know where the anger came from. Luo qingluan suddenly raised his voice: "someone sneaked in and poisoned the Empress Dowager. If it wasn't found in time, I'm afraid something had happened to the Empress Dowager now. Xiao Yuqi, you're the most suspicious in the palace now. Do you think you sent someone to attack the Empress Dowager?"

Listening to Luo qingluan's words, Xiao Yuqi looked inexplicably and wronged: "qingluan, I'm a prisoner. How can I do such a thing? I can also be blamed for the Queen Mother's accident. Did I do anything wrong with anyone in the Western Chu?"

"Who are you?" Luo qingluan asked aggressively.

"How do I know!" Xiao Yuqi roared in a low voice, as if he were spewing out his repressed anger and panting heavily.

Is it really not him?

Luo qingluan still couldn't get rid of her doubts. Her eyes said coldly, "OK, let me ask you, even if you didn't order the empress dowager, did you send someone to rob me on my way back to the palace yesterday?"

"If it weren't for my good luck and the guard's protection, I'm afraid I'd be hurt if I didn't die!"

"What, qingluan, you..."

Xiao Yuqi was suddenly anxious. He took Luo qingluan's hand and looked up and down for fear that something had happened to her: "where were you hurt? What happened to you? What did they do to you?"

"You said it had nothing to do with you? What are you nervous about?"

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

He forcibly shook off Xiao Yuqi's hand and Luo qingluan stepped back, With a cold face, he said, "if you didn't know about Dongwan's medical competition and gambling with me, maybe I would still believe you. But you already knew that the Millennium ice silkworm you gave me before can cure all patients, so yesterday's sneak attack makes sense. Xiao Yuqi, I don't want to hear you explain anything. Everything has been proved."

Being easily guessed by Luo qingluan, Xiao Yuqi lamented her intelligence more and more.

If they are friends with each other, then her intelligence is worthy of his appreciation and pride, but now they are in a hostile relationship. Luo qingluan is too smart to guess, so he can't help being in a passive position.

"Qingluan, do you really think I will do such a thing? I will do it to you?"

Xiao Yuqi shook his head and looked bitter: "you underestimate me."

"I'm willing to give you the Millennium ice silkworm, because only in your hands can these gods play their due role and not be violent. Although there are some misunderstandings between us, I will never be bad for you. Don't think about it. Why have I hurt you?"

"I almost died in Puji temple. Didn't you do it? I lost my memory, was deceived by you, and implicated Lin Yixuan. Nalan ran thousands of miles at night. Didn't you do it?" Listening to Xiao Yuqi's sophistry again and again, Luo qingluan couldn't stop his anger: "I trust you in vain, Xiao Yuqi, you let me down!"

She doesn't know, she doesn't know anything!

Unable to speak or talk, Xiao Yuqi tasted this taste for the first time.
