Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Princess Longzhu has been forcibly dragged away.

But Hua Manman is still thinking about what Princess Longzhu said just now.

Originally, she thought that King Zhao had just accidentally been ambushed by the enemy army, which caused his legs to be injured and disabled.

But from Princess Longzhu's tone and attitude, it can be seen that the ambush was not accidental.

There must be tricks hidden in it.

Li Ji approached her sideways and blew into her ear.

"What are you thinking about?"

Hua Manman hid to the side and asked in a low voice.

"Don't you want to know the truth about your attack?"

Li Ji didn't care much about authenticity.

"So what if you know? It's better to know the truth of some things than not to know."

Hua Manman stared at him blankly.

"You, you shouldn't have known the truth long ago, right?"

If it was before, Li Ji would not have answered her question.

But now he has nothing to worry about.

The two of them are husband and wife, and they are firmly bound together.

He could tell her everything about himself.

After going through so many things, he believed that she would not betray him.

Li Ji leaned back and spoke slowly.

"Actually, it's similar to what Princess Longzhu said.

At the time when the two armies were fighting, it had entered the most critical moment.

As long as I can lead the enemy into the traps that have been ambushed in advance, I can wipe out the enemy's last hole card.

So as to completely end the four-year war.

I have arranged everything in advance to ensure that there will be no accidents in the process of luring the enemy deep.

But the accident still happened.

The enemy set up an ambush where I must pass. At that time, I only brought 3,000 cavalry, and it was almost impossible to break through.

Most of the 3,000 cavalry I brought were lost in one fell swoop. "

Hua Manman listened intently.

Even though King Zhao's tone was very calm, he didn't use any exaggerated adjectives.

She can still feel the tension at that time from those straightforward narratives.

Li Ji: "Although the situation was urgent at the time, I still led the few dozen people left to break out of the encirclement.

However, at the critical moment when we were about to escape, I got an arrow in the back.

The arrowhead was coated with poison.

I couldn't hold on and fell off the horse.

Immediately afterwards, the enemy activated the trebuchet.

I managed to dodge a few times, but in the end I couldn't escape, and my legs were hit by boulders. "

Hua Manman grabbed his sleeve involuntarily, looked at him eagerly, his eyes were full of worry and uneasiness.

Li Ji stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms, with a relaxed tone as usual.

"Don't be afraid, it's all over."

Hua Manman filtered through the process described by King Zhao from the beginning to the end, and quickly found out what was wrong.

"Why are there poisoned arrows shot from behind you?"

With King Zhao's caution, he would never expose his back to the enemy.

The person who can be placed on the back by him with confidence must be the person he trusts extremely.

In other words, he was probably plotted against by his own people.

Li Ji heard her voice and smiled softly.

His princess is so smart, she guessed the most crucial point right away.

Li Ji: "Afterwards, I secretly investigated the origin of the poisonous arrow, and finally found one of my personal guards, but before I sent someone to ask him for questioning, he died of serious injuries. gone."

Having said that, all the smiles on his face disappeared, and his eyes became cold.

Those were brothers who followed him through life and death, and they were people he felt could be handed over to life and death.

But among that group of people, there was hidden a traitor who wanted to kill him.

This kind of betrayal from people around him made him feel more unacceptable than stabbing him directly.

Hua Manman feels that the mood of the man around him has become very bad.

She hesitated for a while, but she took the initiative to lean over, stretched out her arms to hug him, and patted his back twice with her small paws, with a strong sense of comfort.

Li Ji relaxed a little.

He went on.

"That personal guard followed me all the way back to Shangjing from Ghost Wind Castle.

On the way to escape, he was almost killed to protect me.

I trusted him very much and never doubted him..."

But he didn't expect that the deadliest arrow came from the person he trusted the most.

Hua Manman finally understands why King Zhao is always wary of those around him, as if no one in the world is trustworthy.

Sometimes he would even rather kill by mistake than let it go.

And all because of the deepest betrayal he's ever experienced.

Hua Manman: "Why did that person betray you?"

Li Ji: "This is also my confusion all the time. I have never treated him badly. Why did he betray me?"

Hua Manman thought about it seriously.

"Perhaps he was bribed."

Li Ji: "Why was he bribed? Is it because of money? Or because of power?

Or does he have something else to hide?

No matter what it is, he can tell me directly, and I will definitely try my best to help him.

But he didn't tell me anything.

He felt that betraying me was the best way to solve the problem. "

At the end, he laughed at himself, his brows and eyes full of gloom that couldn't be resolved.

At this moment, Hua Manman felt that the gloomy and repressed King Zhao had returned.

When I first met him, he was like this, his whole body was lifeless, his eyes were dark and full, and he couldn't see the slightest light.

She couldn't help feeling flustered, and subconsciously hugged him tighter.

"It's because he doesn't deserve your trust, it's because he doesn't deserve it."

Li Ji felt the concern of the woman in his arms, and the gloom in his eyes gradually dissipated.

He lowered his head, put his chin on Hua Manman's shoulder, and responded softly.

"Well, none of them are worth it."

He paused deliberately when he said this, his voice was soft and soft.

"Only you are worth it."

Hua Manman turned his face slightly, just in time to bump into his long and narrow eyes that were as black as ink.

Perhaps it was because the distance between the two of them was too close, her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and her ears felt a little hot.

The atmosphere between the two also became ambiguous.

It's like maltose that has been boiled for a long time, sweet and greasy, sticky.

Hua Manman looks away in a panic.

In order to reduce the ambiguous feeling, she forcibly changed the subject.

"Judging from Princess Longzhu's attitude, she should know some inside information. You can actually pretend to agree to her just now, and take the opportunity to extract useful information from her."

Li Ji was still leaning on her shoulder, looking at her profile without blinking.

She looked calm, but her ears turned red quietly.

It looked delicious.

Li Ji couldn't help but licked the corner of his lower lip, and said with a smile: "I can't promise her, even if it's just a pretend."

Hua Manman was puzzled: "Why?"

Li Ji: "Kiss me once, and I'll tell you why."

Hua Manman: "It's fine if you don't say it."

She knew that the dog man's mood had recovered, and she raised her hand to push him away.

However, with her little strength, she couldn't push the dog man at all.

Li Ji said with a smile: "If the mountain is not just me, then I have to come to the mountain."

After speaking, he leaned over and bit her cute little red earlobe.
