Death Princess

"Hey—" Zhao Lu let out a long sigh and turned the sword in his hand into iron filings.

A bird circled the iron filings all over the sky and landed on Chao Lu's shoulder, "Little Lulu, this is your 340th sigh today. People who don't know it may think that you have been depressed for a long time. .”

"That's right, I'm stuck in my heart." With a flick of two fingers, Zhao Lu expelled Qin Hui's bird, which was looking for a place to land casually, and then walked into the house with a caged coat, "I don't understand more and more."

"I don't understand? But that cold pupil?" Bird thought about finding a place to stay, but under Zhao Lu's warning eyes, he continued to circle her head pitifully, "I don't understand how she looks at you? Why don't you understand, she Was the reaction that day not obvious enough?"

"The reaction that day." Zhao Lu touched her shoulder subconsciously, as if she could feel the temperature of the cold pupil left on it a few days ago, "That day... was like a dream. I thought she was I just learned the truth and heard my reaction after hearing my overreaching words, but I never thought that she would... If she pushed me away, or if she didn't say anything, she would still be able to break my thoughts Think, so that I can stay quietly by the side in the future. But she..."

Zhao Lu shook her head, "I thought something would change, but nothing changed. In the past few days, she was still getting along with me like that, and she never mentioned that day, let alone anything... It was as if that day had never happened. Hey. Today she went to find Shuangxue to learn how to distinguish medicine from a prescription, and to go to Jianzong to find Zhuo Er to learn how to use swordsmanship. For some reason, everything happened to Bo Fan. The relationship between Xueminggu and Jianzong's people and her is changing, but she and I... I'm afraid we won't be able to make further progress."

"puff--"

"What are you laughing at?!" Encountered merciless ridicule by her brother during the confession, Zhao Lu was a little annoyed, and waved her hand into a piece of iron filings to greet the bird.

The bird dodged deftly, "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, so I'm talking about you, little Lulu, right?"

"what?"

"Or, love makes people stupid?"

"It's your turn to talk about me? Who would..."

"Hey, hey," Qin Hui interrupted anxiously, "Why did you pull me down? Seeing that you are so depressed, I want to talk to you to make you clear up. Whatever, I will leave this matter to you." It will be boring if you break it, and you will discover it later, but it will have a different flavor, and I look forward to your reaction at that time."

"..."

"Hey, what is this?" Bird hurriedly stopped beside a half-open booklet on the desk before Chaolu's expression changed from dissatisfied to unkind, and asked, changing the subject, "Fist? schedule?"

"Don't mention it, which pot is not open and which pot to mention." Zhao Lu's mouth twitched, "I don't know what medicine Shuangxue, Bo Fan, and Zhuo Er have taken wrongly in recent days, and even Senior Brother Wen was involved in it." , tossing out such a thick prescription to torture me."

"They tortured you?"

"Isn't it? Three doses of inhuman-tasting medicine a day, plus those strange boxing, sword, saber, and speed, endurance, and explosive training, are actually some external training moves for the army, and they are forced to I, a suave and suave young master of the sword sect and a young woman who is overwhelmed by the country, has turned into a reckless warrior covered with sinews. Look," Zhao Lu complained, rolled up half of her sleeves, pointed slightly hard, and pointed to the bird with her forearm. Look, "This arm is about to be tossed into an iron wall by them." I didn't forget to poke it.

"..." Bird Biantian couldn't find the right words to answer Zhao Lu's rather narcissistic complaint.

"Isn't it just a trip to the Grand Canyon, everyone is so nervous. I am a Phantom Thunder Twin Spirit Race. Without internal strength, can I really become a useless person? If I can't cultivate internally, I must cultivate externally? Tell me, Pulling up his sleeves, "This is not a different way to torture me, what is it?"

"You have to go to the canyon?" Qin Hui suddenly became serious.

Withdrawing her joking expression, Zhao Lu nodded seriously.

"can not wait……"

"It's too late," Zhao Lu interrupted, "You know the situation in the capital better than I do. King Ping banned the crown prince to gain power, and Yi'er has a position on the surface, but in fact, it's just like what Leng Tong himself said and ours. As previously neglected, this is all one of His Majesty's bureaus. But now, everything is ready for this bureau and only owes Dongfeng, Leng Tong, that Dongfeng."

"Don't worry," Qin Hui didn't give Qin Hui a chance to interject, "Jianzong Youwen and Zhuo Er, Xueminggu Xixi have also returned, if it doesn't work, there is nothing to be done with my father and mother in charge Big deal. As for Shuangxue and Bo Fan, I didn't want them to go together, but I don't know how they persuaded my aunt and uncle..."

Frowning, "Recently, there are more and more cult actions that use spiritual power against the sky, as if they are testing whether new products are useful. Qi, who is far away from the sky and the emperor, is naturally the most affected, even the people there Xueming Valley’s sub-valleys have encountered some problems, and they need someone to deal with them. Shuangxue used this excuse to propose to go with me, and my aunt and uncle..." Sighed, "But since I brought people out, no matter what No matter what, I will keep them safe."

"You take care of them, what about you?" Qin Hui asked coldly.

"I..." Zhao Lu bit her lower lip, "I'll be fine. Even my parents..."

"Don't use my father and mother to pressure me. I don't know what her elders predicted and agreed to your life-threatening trip, but I know that once you stab something or lose half of your hair, you will be unlucky." It's all about me."

"It seems that I will be more troubled if you stabbed me? Tell me, when was it because of you that my parents called me to serve you?" Zhao Lu retorted unceremoniously.

"Oh, because of me? The bruises on my body haven't faded since someone was lying half dead on the couch last time."

"It hasn't receded yet? You have a birthmark on your buttocks, right?"

"……roll."

"Oh, walk slowly." Zhao Lu waved her hand.

"..."

There was a moment of silence, the brothers and sisters, ah no, they stared at each other.

I don't know how long it took before Bird looked back and sighed: "Lu'er," said a solemn address, "There is something that you understand yourself, but you don't want to think about it, let alone listen to it, but I can't help it." ask."

Zhao Lu didn't say a word as if she didn't hear it.

"This question has nothing to do with the royal family, it has nothing to do with the Eldar, it's only about you. It's between us, brother and sister, and has nothing to do with others."

Chaolu still didn't respond.

"Ruo Ruo, I'm just saying Ru Ruo, Ru Ruo Leng, He Tong is interested in the throne, how will you deal with yourself?"

"..."

Qin Hui sighed inwardly when he saw Zhao Lu suddenly dimmed, with an expression of avoidance. "It's not that I'm pedantic, and it's not that I'm stopping you. I just hope that you can think about it clearly before things go any further. Yi'er and I, yes, you're right, I'm willing. You and Leng Tong... ...I naturally have no right to object."

After a pause, he said word by word, "But you have to know that you and Leng Tong, and I and Yi'er, are different after all."

After a long time, seeing that Zhao Lu was still motionless, Qin Hui had no choice but to continue, "It doesn't matter that you two are both women...she is the only heir of His Majesty today, if she wishes to be emperor, that is the most legitimate. Heart, you also know. The struggle for imperial power has always been a life-and-death struggle. Even sons born to the same mother will be bloodied. One up and one down, but what about you?"

"On the one hand is the person on the tip of your heart, and on the other hand is the sister you hold in your palm. Then, how will you deal with yourself? Who will you help?"

"Going further, speaking more selfishly, I have a crush on Yu Yi'er, and you have a crush on Yu Lengtong. You and I are twins born from the same mother's womb at the same time. You are another me, and I am another you. They It's a joy to let go of family affection, but what about you? Me? Who do we choose? Or, will we turn against each other because of them? I can't imagine. But power..."

There was a dead silence again.

Just when Qin Hui thought that Zhao Lu would not answer, "Brother," he suddenly heard such a long-lost address, "You also know that I am lazy, lazy, and have no wishes or ambitions. I was forced to move forward by life, so I got to the present step by step.”

"However, I am very greedy. I want our home to be intact all the time, and everyone I care about is happy and healthy. If there is something that hinders my greed, then I won't just let it go and keep it, even if that thing is the highest right in this world."

"I don't have any sense of good and evil, and I'm too lazy to distinguish between right and wrong. All I do is to protect what I care about. So, if that chair in the palace destroys what I care about, I don't mind, let It disappeared from this world. I thought, if I was cornered, I could do it."

"If they want to fight each other because of the throne, so that you and I have to stand on the opposite side, then I will completely erase the reason for their killing each other from this world."

"Royal? Emperor? Throne? Without it, can the people live? I don't think, I even thought, without it, this world would be better."

"Troubled times, this is a word that people often use to describe the era without the emperor, but I prefer to use the word 'ruling together'." There was a light in Zhao Lu's eyes, which was never seen before.

"Ahaha, ahahahahahaha——" Qin Hui burst out laughing, "Hahaha, little Lulu, you and I are really, really the worms in each other's stomachs, and we totally want to go together. Governance together, What a group of heroes to rule together! When this idea appeared, I once thought I was crazy, but now it comes out of your mouth hahaha, wonderful! Wonderful!"

"It's just, cough, cough—" Qin Hui laughed a little, and it took him a long time to recover, "If Yi'er finds out that the bench she was thinking about is being taken down by the two of us, I don't know how it will be revealed. What kind of expression."

"I don't know the expression, but I do," Zhao Lu also smiled, "Maybe Yi'er will find a new use for the washboard at home."

"..." The corners of Qin Hui's mouth twitched, "Then I also know that your arm must have been covered with teeth marks for several years."

"Now that I have no inner strength than before, Yi'er is reluctant to speak."

"..." Why do these words sound so familiar?

Dong dong dong, knocking on the door interrupted the bickering between the two brothers and sisters.

"Please come in."

The door opened with a creak, and the person who came in was Leng Tong.

Zhao Lu and Qin Hui looked at each other.
