All the members are villains, and she just wants to show off when she is dressed as cannon fodder.

Lu Xingzhou was silent. He didn't know what to say to Yuan Tong'er.

Yuan Tong'er wiped away all the sadness in her mind and recalled the whole story seriously.

That's right, after the rumors started, it was Yuan Wu who kept adding fuel to the fire and making things get out of hand.

Yuan Tong'er's original intention was to use the Queen Mother's scandal to attack them, so when Yuan Wu did that, she didn't feel anything wrong.

But now she understands that Hua Buqi's incident was originally used by them to confuse people, and what they want to do most is to plot to usurp the throne!

Yuan Tong'er smiled, it turned out that she had been making wedding dresses for others.

"Ha, as expected, he is still the unscrupulous Prince Lian! Anyone can become a chess piece in his hands..."

But she couldn't hate him.

At least Yuan Wu loves Cen Huan...

With that "sister-in-law" sentence, she couldn't blame him anymore.

She shook her head and laughed at herself: "In the final analysis, Hua Buqi's death is still because of me. I am too smart and self-righteous. The world is so chaotic, but I only care about the present. I can survive until now only because of my strength." It’s just your protection..."

She suddenly thought of something again, as indifferently as an outsider.

"Then...what about him? He also knows everything?"

Lu Xingzhou knew who she was asking. He was silent for a moment and nodded.

"It was he who told Yuan Wu about Hua Buqi."

Yuan Tong'er frowned, a little puzzled, "I thought he would try to avoid his aunt when he said it would be left to him. After all, the Queen Mother Qu is also the face of the Qu family. But he knew Yuan Wu's temperament, how could he still let it go? Should he do this?"

Lu Xingzhou sighed and planned to tell the whole truth.

"Qu Baiyu entered the capital eleven years ago, but before he entered the capital, his surname was not even Qu. Do you still remember Prince Lizhou?"

Lu Xingzhou paused as he spoke, seeming a little hesitant to tell Yuan Tong'er.

Yuan Tong'er's face remained as usual, watching the people close to her die one after another. She felt that nothing could shake her heart again.

"remember."

she replied.

"The Crown Prince of Lizhou suddenly died of illness. It was also at that time that King Lizhou was not afraid of the imperial power and planned to take Qu Baiyu away."

Lu Xingzhou's face darkened slightly, and he said after a while: "The late son of King Lizhou is still alive and has no hidden illness. How could he suddenly die of illness?"

Yuan Tong'er was startled. Under Lu Xingzhou's cryptic eyes, a terrifying thought gradually emerged in his mind.

Lu Xingzhou continued: "Qu Baiyu's name is very popular in Shangjing City. You, a silly girl, treat him like a good dog and treat him like a good dog."

He said and put his shoes on Yuan Tong'er's feet, as if he didn't want Yuan Tong'er to think about those troublesome things that no longer matter. He asked: "What are you going to do next?"

Yuan Tong'er shook her head. She didn't belong to this world. She used to have a place to live through her identity as Princess Ruian, but now she is her, and she doesn't even have a home.

Lu Xingzhou paused, and his voice suddenly became as thin as a mosquito.

"Do you... want to go back with me? Back to Donghu..."

As he spoke, he gradually became nervous, and hurriedly defended himself: "Now that I've followed you, I've become a rebel! But fortunately, with Yuan Wu rebelling in front, we're not too bad. You Follow me back to Donghu, there are some forces protecting you, and they can protect you."

His eyes gradually became sincere, but when his eyes met Yuan Tong'er's, they became a little erratic. He casually picked up a piece of dogtail grass on the ground and started braiding it in a serious manner. After a while, an exquisite grass ring appeared in front of Yuan Tong'er.

Lu Xingzhou's eyes no longer dodge, he raised the grass ring in front of Yuan Tong'er, and asked solemnly: "Yuan Tong'er, do you want to try to like me? I want to take you home..."

The grass ring was blown messy in the wind, which also made Yuan Tong'er's thoughts fluctuate.

Seeing that she didn't catch it for a long time, Lu Xingzhou felt a sense of disappointment in his heart. The hand holding the grass ring trembled and then dropped. Just as he dropped it, Yuan Tong'er caught him again.

A relieved smile appeared on her face, and she kissed her red lips. As soon as she said the word "I", a sharp arrow suddenly flew over and instantly shattered the grass ring held by the two of them.

The arrow entered the rotten wood, and the man holding the arrow came slowly.

"Master Lu, where are you going to take this king's sweetheart?"

When Yuan Tong'er heard the sound and looked back, it was Qu Baiyu who was chasing after him. The next second her hand was held tightly by Lu Xingzhou.

Qu Baiyu's eyes immediately fell, and when he saw their clasped hands, his eyes were as cold as the surface of a winter lake. The bone-chilling chill could instantly freeze the surroundings, making people feel like they were falling into an ice cave.

Yuan Tong'er subconsciously wanted to take out her hand, but found that her hand was tightly held by Lu Xingzhou.

"Sweetheart?"

Lu Xingzhou pretended to look Yuan Tong'er up and down, which made Qu Baiyu couldn't help but take a closer look.

I saw Yuan Tong'er, although she was still wearing gorgeous clothes, but she had become dirty and shabby because of running away. The fair and delicate little face also had a lot of stains, and the hair that should have been neatly combed also had a lot of broken hair scattered around.

The more he looked at it, the more he couldn't bear it. He felt that Yuan Tong'er now looked like an abandoned and stray little white cat, pitiful and dirty.

"Prince Yu is so caring for his sweetheart. It's really touching."

Lu Xingzhou's tone was tainted with a hint of evil, and his dark eyes couldn't help but shine with a cold light. He sneered and hid Yuan Tong'er behind him as if protecting food, his tone even more disdainful.

"If you can't protect her, let someone else do it!"

Qu Baiyu's pupils shrank slightly inadvertently, as if he had been stabbed in a deep hole. He didn't want to talk nonsense to Lu Xingzhou, so he just stretched out a hand and said to Yuan Tong'er, "Come here."

Lu Xingzhou was instantly angry and his tone became even more unkind.

"Qu Baiyu! Do you really take yourself seriously? Who do you think you are? Who do you think she is?

Are they the flower girls in the flower houses you visit who just greet you casually and follow you back? Or the abandoned cats and dogs on the roadside? "

"you shut up!"

Qu Baiyu finally couldn't restrain the violence in his eyes and shouted loudly. His eyes were deep, and when he looked at Yuantong's children again, his eyes as silent as a deep pool couldn't help but tremble.

"Yuan Tong'er, come with me. I will never..."

"Do not."

Yuan Tong'er shook his head, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyebrows.

"You know, I'm not her."

She turned all of Qu Baiyu's thoughts into ashes with almost one sentence, but her expression remained indifferent.

"Before... I would like to thank Prince Yu for taking care of me. My daughter is very grateful. If this time, Prince Yu can let me go again, my daughter will definitely be grateful and considerate every morning and dusk to enshrine the longevity tablet for you..."

"I do not want!"

Qu Baiyu interrupted her, "...I only want you."

His eyes suddenly turned red and filled with water mist. His thick eyelashes were clearly defined and trembled gently as if they could bring up the wind.

He stretched out his hands and walked towards Yuan Tong'er, still muttering prayers in his mouth.

"Come back with me... okay?"
