I can't, I can't

Kang Jiangxue was not surprised. From Lu Qiao's point of view, he really should have an explanation.

Normally, people like the little emperor would definitely say nonsense like "Why should I explain to you", but at this moment, the little emperor and Lu Qiao, who were standing opposite each other, seemed to be different people.

One of them has something in mind, and the other has resentment in his heart, so even this kind of stare at each other seems extraordinarily cold and indifferent. Haitang hesitated for a while beside the carriage, not daring to disturb her, so she could only lower her head silently, not going. Look at two people.

The wind lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the sound of hula-la seemed to tear a gap in the surrounding air. Kang Jiangxue suddenly said to Lu Qiao, "Get in the carriage."

Lu Qiao didn't move, Kang Jiangxue said again: "I'm very cold."

Lu Qiao's emotions had accumulated to a certain extent, but after hearing this, she still couldn't bear the little emperor's continued blowing, and followed her into the carriage. The two sat down in the carriage, but Haitang, who should have followed the carriage, did not follow. Instead, they winked at the coachman and stepped aside together.

The carriage became a space for the two of them to be alone, and Kang Jiangxue asked aloud, "Is Sheng Lingxi in your hands?"

Lu Qiao was startled when she heard the sound, and almost immediately stared into the eyes of the little emperor, staring at Kang Jiangxue's expression. He really did not expect that in such a situation where he was on the verge of collapse, the first time the little emperor drove The mouth turned out to be such a sentence.

Lu Qiao suddenly let out a mocking chuckle uncontrollably, not knowing whether he was laughing at the little emperor or himself, he suddenly said: "So what?"

Kang Jiangxue knew the plot, so she was very clear that Lu Qiao bought a way to pick up Sheng Lingxi immediately after the Sheng family was ruined. Afraid that Lu Qiao would vent her anger in private, he decided to explain clearly first: "The Queen Mother and Fu Honglang have already promised me From now on, she is my queen, so before other people find out, you'd better send her to the palace as soon as possible, so as not to affect her reputation."

Lu Qiao clenched her fists suddenly, and an unbearable expression appeared on her pretty face. Kang Jiangxue ignored all of these, and just stared at him and asked the last question: "Lu Qiao, have you touched it?" she?"

This question was like a sharp knife that pierced Lu Qiao's heart fiercely. Lu Qiao punched the seat and roared angrily: "How could I touch her! Don't you know what I think now? Ah Ying, how can you say such words cruelly?"

Lu Qiao breathed out as if she couldn't breathe, her eyes were red, and a layer of tears covered the bloodshot eyeballs, and he asked in a voice, "You asked me to get in the car just to say this?"

"Ah Ying... I am definitely not blaming you for your empress. You should be empress. You will be empress sooner or later, I know! But I don't understand why you want to make Sheng Lingxi empress? She is Sheng Lingyu's younger sister And if you want to marry her at this juncture, doesn't that mean—"

There is no need for Lu Qiao to say the following words, Kang Jiangxue knows it well, he looked straight at Lu Qiao, and said very calmly: "Lu Qiao, I just want to ask you, if I want to protect the Sheng family, how will you treat it? Turn against me?"

The little emperor wanted to protect the Sheng family. This idea had already been conjectured by Lu Qiao, but Lu Qiao didn't want to face it. Now that the little emperor said it directly to him, Lu Qiao finally couldn't avoid it: "Are you really... ...Want to preserve the Sheng Lingyu?"

Kang Jiangxue replied, "Yes."

Lu Qiao tightened her jaw, and said bitterly: "Why? You clearly know, you clearly know me..."

why?

Because Kang Jiangxue wanted to protect Sheng Lingyu, he always wanted to.

Because Sheng Lingyu has nothing left, he only has a little hope for the little emperor, if the little emperor doesn't reach out, Sheng Lingyu will really slip into the bottomless abyss, and he will never be able to climb out for a lifetime.

Kang Jiangxue went through these thoughts many times in her mind, and she was extremely calm when she spoke again. He said to Lu Qiao, "I want to use him."

The little emperor's self-proclaimed "I" and his unusual tone of voice meant that this conversation was extremely meaningful. Lu Qiao was also silent for a moment, and then became even more resentful: "Use him?... What are you using him for? What do you have? Me! Didn’t I tell you! I’ll help you! Anything you want I’ll—”

Before Lu Qiao finished speaking, Kang Jiangxue interrupted him.The little emperor also growled: "Don't you understand? You are not enough alone! Not enough! Open your eyes and take a good look! What do I have now? My life is not in my own hands, as long as the eldest princess thinks, as long as The queen mother thought, anyone of them can kill me! You always speak nicely, what can you do alone! Can you talk now? Do you have military power!"

The little emperor's voice was stern, and Lu Qiao suddenly stopped. He stared blankly at the person in front of him. He was suddenly pulled into a broken reality, and felt a stinging humiliation. Lu Qiao said slowly: "...I am a People, then Sheng Lingyu is not alone? He has no power or power, so what can he do?!"

The little emperor said: "If he is incapable, why do you bother to hate him for so long? Have you stumbling him less these years? Lu Qiao, ask yourself, if he is not better than you in every way, would you still Hate him so much!"

Lu Qiao suddenly lost all her voice, and his face, shocked, humiliated, angry, and dumb, all turned into a kind of gray defeat visible to the naked eye.

He asked, "Ah Ying... Did you already have this plan?"

Kang Jiangxue responded, "Yes."

Lu Qiao said again: "So in your heart, you always feel that Sheng Lingyu is better than me?"

Kang Jiangxue didn't answer, he looked at Lu Qiao, and the fire in Lu Qiao's eyes was extinguished in the blink of an eye as he looked at Lu Qiao, who used to only know that he was going crazy.

Lu Qiao's eyes were dark, just looking at the little emperor, tears rolled down from his eyes, but he didn't let out a little cry.

He just had no expression on his face.

Kang Jiangxue knew that Lu Qiao must be in great pain, if possible, he didn't want Lu Qiao to be in such pain.

But that's all he can do.

The trade-offs dragged on until today...

He has to do it.

The little emperor calmed down and said, "I don't know whether you are stronger or Sheng Lingyu is stronger. Lu Qiao, you can prove it to me yourself."

Lu Qiao lowered her head slowly, and asked after a long time, "You must protect him?"

Kang Jiangxue said: "Yes."

Lu Qiao said: "If I disagree anyway—"

Kang Jiangxue replied calmly: "Lu Qiao, I have already made up my mind. It is not up to you to say whether you agree or not. I allow you to act presumptuously in front of me, but don't forget that my surname is Yang, and I am the emperor." .”

Lu Qiao was silent for a while, he covered his face for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I never forgot, I just..."

He didn't say the following words, but his voice had already exposed all the disappointment and pain. Kang Jiangxue also felt unbearable, but after all, she didn't say a word of comfort, she just said: "You said that you will be loyal to me all your life, and now I have said that After telling you, do you still want to disobey me?"

Lu Qiao shook her head silently. Although she didn't speak, it was already a symbol of obedience. Kang Jiangxue's heartstrings relaxed, and she heard Lu Qiao say again: "I'm up to you, but you have to promise me two things."

Just now he said that he is the emperor, Kang Jiangxue should have refused to emphasize his authority, but Lu Qiao suddenly looked up at him, the tearing eyes made it difficult for him to answer for a while.

Kang Jiangxue could only give in and said, "Say it."

Lu Qiao's voice was indifferent and steady, and he said in a deep voice: "First, the empress can be established, it doesn't matter whether she is favored or not, or how much honor she gives, but Ah Ying can never have children with the Sheng family, the future prince, the future new emperor No blood of the Sheng family can be shed on my body, this is my bottom line."

This condition is very outrageous for a courtier, but from Lu Qiao's mouth, it is indeed reasonable. It is impossible for Kang Jiangxue to have any unnecessary involvement with the girl of the Sheng family, so she did not hesitate at all, directly He promised: "Okay, I promise, I will never conceive a bloodline with the Sheng family in this life."

The little emperor's quick response seemed to have comforted Lu Qiao. When Lu Qiao spoke again, her voice softened a little: "Second, if you want to take Sheng Lingxi into the palace, you can, but I want Sheng Lingyu to come and pick you up in person."

For Sheng Lingyu to pick her up in person, it means that Lu Qiao will definitely make things difficult for Sheng Lingyu. No matter what he does to Sheng Lingyu, Sheng Lingyu can only endure it.At that time, no one will help Sheng Lingyu, it will be a one-sided, endless oppression and humiliation.

Kang Jiangxue frowned, unable to accept it. Without waiting for him to respond, Lu Qiao touched her leg and said, "He broke one of my legs. Only in this way can I write it off, but... won't kill him."

What Lu Qiao said seemed to be a concession, but to Kang Jiangxue, it meant nothing at all, and he could no longer tolerate Sheng Lingyu suffering any more.

Not at all.

Kang Jiangxue was silent for a while, and Lu Qiao's eyes became even darker. He asked, "Aying, I won't turn against you because of Sheng Lingyu, but can you turn against me because of him?"

This is too heavy a word.

Kang Jiangxue couldn't move forward even a single step, his heart felt like a knife was twisted, but he could only say: "...Okay, it's up to you."

Lu Qiao got a satisfactory answer, but without any satisfied expression, he said to himself without warning: "I said I prepared a gift for you on your birthday, and I really did. I made a gift for you. The fox is alive and kicking, with snow-white fur, and is very beautiful. When I brought it into the palace, I thought that Ah Ying would definitely like it, but you didn’t come that night, and during the rebellion, the fox was killed by someone.”

"Ah Ying, as long as there is a chance in the future, I will beat foxes for you and keep alive for you, but you... don't you want it anymore?"

Kang Jiangxue was speechless for a while, he felt that Lu Qiao was talking about foxes, but not just foxes, and he himself didn't know how to answer this question.Because what Lu Qiao said was right, in the hunting ground that day, Kang Jiangxue really wanted a fox, but after that day, he no longer wanted it.

Because he has a rabbit, he has Xiaoyu.

Foxes and rabbits... cannot be raised together.

Kang Jiangxue slowly closed her eyes and said, "Go back to Zhengyang Palace."

Lu Qiao wasn't there, he got out of the carriage by himself and said, "You go."

Kang Jiangxue didn't insist, and called Haitang into the carriage.Lu Qiao stood where she was, and before the carriage left, she suddenly said, "Aying, you want to use Sheng Lingyu, you just want to use him for something, you don't have any selfish intentions, right?"

Kang Jiangxue paused lightly, and replied, "Yes."

Lu Qiao nodded, and he repeated several times: "Then I believe you, I believe you."
