Death Princess

"Sister, you..." He Yi, who was leaning on the stone wall beside him, looked much better, looked at the hideous knife wound on Leng Tong's arm, and asked, "Your injury..."

"It doesn't matter." Leng Tong sat cross-legged, put his two knives on his lap, and was about to close his eyes and rest, but saw He Yi's gaze looking at the medicine bottle, so he had to add another sentence, "This medicine is supposed to help sleep. The effect is that the pursuers are still there, so I can’t sleep.”

He Yi didn't answer, but his heart trembled slightly because of Leng Tong's answer.Because she knew that, as a secret assassin, how could Leng Tong be overwhelmed by the pain-relieving and sleep-promoting effect of mere healing medicine?She said so and did so to keep the medicine for herself, right?

she……

"By the way," Leng Tong said suddenly, "I don't know if Your Highness the Princess would like to tell me, why swallowing this flame bead that can melt the chain is only to warm the body?"

"Well, it's amazing. When I was in Jianzong not long ago, I snatched a few from my elder sister and played around." I don't know if I agree with Leng Tong, or feel that there is no point in concealing it. In front of Leng Tong, Fang Fang used a name for Chao Lu that he only knew, "Sister said, the power of the Lingzhu is in line with the user's wishes at that time, to a certain extent, you swallowed it At that time, you don’t always want to burn yourself to death, do you?”

"Hmm... what if I swallowed the Magic Orb?"

"It depends on the situation, pain relief or hallucinations, and there are not no addictions. As for the other three," He Yi said in a showy tone, "The cold beads are the opposite of the flame beads, which can cool down; the thunder beads can be used as a drug. Or pain relief; Fengzhu, haha," in front of Leng Tong, He Yi, who was either holding the majesty of the princess, or was speechless in pain, at this moment, like a naughty little girl who is ignorant of the world, challenged The corners of his mouth pursed, "Bloating gas, hiccups, and farting, choose one?"

"..."

But for some reason, looking at He Yi's smile, Leng Tong's brows that had been wrinkled for a long time gradually eased.

Such Princess Changping really looks like Zhaolu's younger sister.

What about... Zhaolu?

Is it possible that she who is called "Sister" by Princess Changping is also an unknown princess?

"Thank you." Leng Tong, whose thoughts were still wandering outside, thought for a moment that she was hallucinating, because when she looked at He Yi with surprise, He Yi had changed his seriousness when thanking him, and replaced it with enthusiasm, " The chasing soldiers are outside, my sister can't sleep, and I naturally dare not sleep. How about this, let's play a game to drive away sleepiness."

"Game?" Leng Tong didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Her Highness the Princess.

"Well, I think you must be willing to play," He Yi smiled mysteriously, "Quiz game. We take turns to ask each other questions. No matter what the question is, the answerer needs to know everything and say everything." The answer must not be false." Blinking, "How, sister is interested?"

Is it possible to know everything and give endless answers without any falsehood?Once upon a time, didn't the same promise appear in Zhao Lu's mouth?Leng Tong smiled wryly.And what did she answer herself at that time?Want to make yourself the leader of the Martial Arts Martial Arts Alliance?The truth that comes out of her mouth can be counted with two fingers.

"Sister didn't answer, could it be that she doesn't trust my reputation as a princess?"

"Don't dare." Leng Tong lowered his gaze.

"It's different today. After going through so much, you can tell whether my answer is true or not, sister. Since you can see it, why should I waste my time making up lies? Besides," He Yi tried to move Leaning in the direction of Leng Tong, the wound on his body was smoldering with pain due to this overpowering action, "I want to get the answer from you, sister, which is no less than what you want, so absolutely How could I squander a good trading opportunity with lies?"

Leng Tong hesitated for a moment, then raised his head to meet He Yi's gaze, and asked, "Any questions are fine?"

"Any question." He Yi nodded seriously, and made a "please" gesture with his neck.

The doubts that had been accumulated for a long time rushed to my heart, but when they came to my mouth, they all timidly hid behind them.Leng Tong thought about it, and finally picked out the most meaningless and least flattering one from a basket of questions: "That day in Jianzong's Maple Leaf Forest," she licked her chapped lips, "Princess Hall..."

"Yi'er." He Yi interrupted Leng Tong's words.

"what?"

"My sister can call me Yi'er."

"This……"

"My sister wants to ask." He Yi didn't give Leng Tong a chance to refuse, "I said that day that 'the enemy is by my side', why?"

Leng Tong was startled, and after a while, nodded.

"Does my sister think that the 'enemy' in my mouth refers to you, my sister?" He Yi asked back without hesitation, but the smile gradually disappeared from her eyes.

Leng Tong didn't answer, but said in a voice as big as a mosquito's cry: "Sorry." Sorry, eight years ago...

"Then what if I say 'yes'?" He Yi tentatively said, "My sister asks this, if the answer is 'yes', will you let me get my revenge?"

"No." Unexpectedly, Leng Tong replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Oh?" He Yi became interested.

"Since I was an assassin, I am full of life debts, and I have a clear sense of death at the hands of my enemies. However, this does not mean that I will be captured without a fight. I will accompany you to the end in seeking revenge and dueling, but I am also a human being, and I am a person who cannot help myself, and I have no reason to give my life at will."

Staring at Leng Tong's icy cold gaze that has suppressed his emotions for a long time, He Yi smiled: "My sister said so, so I feel relieved."

rest assured?

"Sister, don't worry, the 'enemy' I'm talking about is not you, but the person behind the deal with the dark pavilion. As for the 'sorry' just now, I think," paused, "sister It shouldn't be me who is 'sorry', right? Whether it was eight years ago or now, there is only one person my sister is ashamed of, and that person will never be me. Isn't it?"

There is only one person who is ashamed from beginning to end.yes, yes...

"As for why I said 'the enemy is by my side but I can't repay it'," He Yi continued without waiting for Leng Tong to react, "Sister is a smart person, she must have known it long ago, right? In the capital where open and secret fighting is fought, in that royal family where brothers are fighting each other, the enemy is by my side, but I have to call them "brother" every day with a forced face and a smile."

Call "their" brother.

What happened eight years ago was done by the crown prince and King Ping?

"Although I am a princess now, I am actually a native of Jianghu. Even before the accident eight years ago, I didn't know another identity of Dad. As a royal, Dad has a personality that is not suitable for the royal family. character." He Yi started the chatterbox, "Daddy is the eldest son of the late emperor. He was born during the chaotic period when the late emperor followed Tai. Zu to compete for the world. The late emperor who has been fighting all the year round has almost no time to go home. Therefore, The subsequent princes and princesses can all be said to be brought up by Father alone."

"He was born in an ordinary family of grassroots rebels, and brought up his younger brothers and sisters with one hand, so he was full of affection for the family that later reached the top. However, he regarded his younger brother as his younger brother, but his younger brother regarded him as the throne The thorn in the side of the road is the thorn in the flesh. 20 years ago, he was framed tragically. Thanks to Uncle Ji, he stole his life. Let him honestly drag the whole family to his death."

"Hehe," He Yi showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Isn't it clear that an edict to seal the king and return to the capital is a live bait sent to He Yupeng and He Yuxi? Your Majesty Wanting to test the two crown princes, he did not hesitate to lose the lives of his elder brother and younger brother, but he went there without any doubt! He was thinking about the orthodoxy of the family, and he was always worried about the family in his dreams, but Even death has failed to see through this so-called 'home'."

"I, hate, that so-called 'home'," anger flashed in my eyes, "so I also hate the title 'His Royal Highness'. Princess? A princess who is well-clothed and well-fed? Oh, that is in exchange for the lives of my parents The cage that came! An invisible cage, a life in shackles, countless pairs of eyes staring at you, countless shadows that want your life. For the prince, you are an obstacle and a bargaining chip, and for the emperor You are even more a tool to win over the aristocratic family. This is," looking seriously at Leng Tong's eyes, and there seems to be something conveyed in the sad eyes," this is the true meaning of the word 'princess'. "

"That……"

"Then why did I have to reveal my identity three years ago? Why didn't I just die as the only daughter of King Jing, and be an ordinary person for the rest of my life in peace? If my sister wants to ask this, it would be a bit funny," reluctantly tilted half of her face At the corner of his mouth, "Let me ask my sister the other way around. If I let my sister forget everything that happened ten years ago and be an ordinary person, would my sister be willing?"

Naturally... I don't want to.

Thinking of this, Leng Tong sighed in his heart.

"How?" Unexpectedly, He Yi himself, who tossed Leng Tong's mood into extremely complicated, relaxed, and said with a smile, "Sister is satisfied with such an answer?"

"..."

"Haha, sister thinks I talk too much?"

"Do not……"

"But it's not my fault."

"..."

"Who made Sister Lu always brag in my ears, saying that you are an excellent listener?" Blinking her eyes, "Always listen quietly, rarely speak, no matter what dissatisfaction or doubts you have, you will Hold it in your heart. The expression is always light, and you will not overreact or react ruthlessly. If you don’t understand, you won’t ask questions, but you will nod a few times in response, indicating that you are listening; if you understand, no matter what Whether you like it or not, you will say a few words according to the other person's heart, so that the person who is pouring out is like finding a bosom friend in an ice cube."

"..."

Ice cube bosom friend...

Well, such a wording must have come from Chao Lu himself.

"However," He Yi said again, "Sister Tong, although you are a good listener, you are also a deadly boring person. Many times, many things, you hold them in your heart, so that people who don't understand you People who know you order you, people who understand you try their best to figure out you, and finally, you walk towards one after another..." Suddenly stopped talking.

Leng Tong understood what He Yi was referring to, but she opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

After a long time, He Yi said again, "Actually," she put on a tone of nostalgia and persuasion, "Sister Lu, although she can't spit out anything good, her ears are extremely soft. Yes. If you had said it out at that time and asked it out, those things would not have happened. There are some truths that she cannot take the initiative to tell you, so she deliberately pointed out doubts in front of you, waiting for you to ask , but if you don't ask, she can only guess what you mean while making what she thinks is the best choice."

After a pause, he added, "She's always been so awkward."

This time, Leng Tong failed to hide the expression on his face.
