Rebirth's ultimate stand-in

Su Ning's hand trembled slightly, she looked away, and put away the dagger.Sitting alone at the table, I poured myself a cup of herbal tea. The teapot was stagnant in my hand, and I opened another teacup, poured a cup, and pushed it aside.

Chu Ci didn't let go of his movements at all, sat over, squeezed the cup of tea, and looked at Su Ning.

Su Ning's scalp was numb from seeing him, and her mind kept wandering about the scene where he tore off his belt and fell off the cliff three years ago.Those almost desperate eyes stabbed him, and this scene was deeply imprinted in his mind.Even after three years, he can still remember clearly.

Chu Ci said that his words gave him a curse, and that expression, like a curse branded in Su Ning's soul, lingered.But he knew that was exactly what he wanted to see.When the belt was torn apart, a sense of revenge rose in his heart.This joy accompanied by that look made him realize for the first time that he had never really let go of this person.This is undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

When he fled the capital that year, Mo Xin sent spies to report the safety of the Su family, and also learned that Chu Ci was ill and seemed to be dying.

The heart that wanted to close again was pricked by this thorn, and blood spurted out.He sat quietly in Tulongbao for several days and nights, like Sakyamuni sitting under the bodhi tree.In the end, he only realized one thing. Avoiding this person will not solve anything at all. Only by facing it again can he completely wash away the shadow in his heart.

In the end, he suppressed his footsteps and did not step into the capital.He knew that this man would not die so easily, and after a few years, he would still be on the throne.If fate is so easy to reverse, why should he take such painstaking efforts!And what he needs from him is a complete break, not this kind of restlessness.My reason has convinced me enough, but what about my heart?He thought that when they met again, they might have been able to become strangers to each other. Now this man was sitting in front of him imposingly, his eyes were like sharp sword blades, trying to cut him open bit by bit.

Su Ning's eyes sank disapprovingly, she picked up the teacup, and took a sip, "My lord is visiting late at night, what's the matter?" This is the attitude he should have.

The sharp blades cut into the water without stirring up any waves.

Chu Ci also took a sip of tea.The herbal tea in the middle of the night is cold from the throat to the heart, calming the restless heart, but it can't resist the cold.

"not welcome?"

"How dare you?"

Chu Ci chuckled, but could hear the emotion.Su Ning raised her eyes to look at the slightly raised corners of his mouth. When she was a teenager, the corners of her mouth usually let others understand his emotions with a cold gesture. Now, with the same curvature, no emotions can be seen in her eyes.

"Su Qi is in Qinzhou." Chu Ci seemed to remind Su Ning, but also seemed to ask him.

"My lord, you might as well speak up if you have something to say." He really didn't have much patience to tease others.

If it was before, Su Ning should obediently tell him his purpose and Su Qi's purpose.This is at least the basic trust in him.But at this moment, the young man in front of him obviously didn't regard him as his own, and even showed obvious guard.

"Su Ning, don't push yourself to death." The implication is that you can't touch Zhen Shi with your current foundation.

Su Ning smiled faintly, and raised her eyes to look at Chu Ci, "My lord must still remember what happened three years ago. The Su family, there is no way out! Maybe the lord has other meanings in saying this sentence..."

Su Ning's smile deepened and turned cold, "For example, the prince is afraid that the Liu family who is tied to His Royal Highness will also be involved?" That is the family of Duan Wangmu and concubine. Can't fade.

Besides, after the defeat of Chu Xun in the previous life, it was the Liu family who strongly supported Chu Ci's supremacy.Otherwise, how could he, a prince leading troops at the border, be able to reach the capital in the first time?

Liu's reason for giving up Chu Xun is actually very simple.Usurpation is a great crime.The person on the dragon chair will definitely not let it go.The Liu family abandoned Chu Xun, supported Chu Ci, and was able to successfully step on the Zhen family, making the family dominate. This move is indeed very clever.

Even now, Emperor Dazheng looked at the empress dowager who was not related by blood, and still acted as a dutiful son.Su Ning knows that the person who wanted to kill their brothers was ordered by the empress dowager, so what can she do?

But this King Duan, who was supposed to be in confinement, appeared here inexplicably. After Su Ning was shocked, she had only one thought—the Liu family standing behind Chu Ci was the culprit who wanted to destroy his Su family. .

Chu Ci felt a chill in his heart, as if he didn't expect Su Ning to question his intentions so bluntly.At least before, he still had some courtesy and respect for himself, and he could feel that he was irreplaceable in his heart.Now, he saw something that could rival him.

"Su Ning!" Chu Ci took a few deep breaths to calm down, "I'm not as confused as the one on the dragon chair!"

Su Ning was stunned, what does this mean?

Chu Ci glanced at him, the expression in his eyes was unclear, deep and gloomy, dark and shining.

"I know what I want to keep the most!" Chu Ci suddenly looked at Su Ning closely, and continued, "It's not the Liu family, nor the throne!"

Su Ning was shocked by these words.If he is more narcissistic, can he interpret Chu Ci's words as: he is the one he wants to keep!But now Su Ning is no longer so naive, he just looks at Chu Ci indifferently, without any emotion.

Chu Ci was a little depressed by his reaction, got up, today's conversation made him very uncomfortable, and he was very uncomfortable facing this person who had disappeared for three years and had grown from an ignorant boy to a shrewd and capable man.

Seeing that he was going to leave, Su Ning didn't try to persuade him to stay. In the end, she expressed her position in a nonchalant manner, "From the beginning to the end, I don't want to be your enemy." This is the truth. Years of friendship, and he also knows that Chu Ci has never made any unfavorable choices for the Su family, no matter past or present.

Chu Ci walked to the door, turned around suddenly, and looked deeply at Su Ning, this time Su Ning understood.It turned out to be pain...

"What happened in the previous life, I will not let it happen again! Never!" Chu Ci stared at Su Ning like a nail, his gaze seemed to have some substance, nailing him in place, unable to move.

Su Ning's heart almost jumped out of her chest.Subconsciously stroked his restless heart with his hand, and when he realized it, the door was already empty.Su Ning seemed to have seen something terrifying, rushed over, and locked the door firmly.

Leaning against the door panel, Su Ning's heart finally calmed down a little.Only then did he slowly recall Chu Ci's words.He didn't understand what he said, but it was like a needle inserted into a bubble, and something was about to burst.

"Su Ning..."

Before Su Ning could figure it out, she heard Chu Ci's voice again.Through the door panel, it seems to be right next to the ear.

Su Ning didn't dare to gnaw, and her breathing was also stagnant.

Chu Ci looked at the figure projected by the light, and couldn't help stretching out his hand. His fingers on the scene caressed the back of the figure, reluctant to part with it.Chu Ci didn't push or knock on the door, just quietly, as if waiting for Su Ning's response.

Su Ning leaned against the door, her back seemed to be absorbed by the hand outside the door.

After a while, Chu Ci spoke again, "Su Ning, nothing is more important than being alive!" These words seemed to be persuading a person who wanted to commit suicide.

The sound of breathing reached his ears through the door, and Su Ning suddenly realized that Chu Ci seemed to know something.These words, in any case, are not what he can say.The deepest buried secret and deep-seated pain seemed to be easily revealed by these words, which made him unbearable.

As if to make a statement, the candles in the room were unexpectedly extinguished.Chu Ci's eyes suddenly went dark, and he couldn't see anything.After his eyes adjusted, he turned his head and looked at the full moon with a wry smile on his lips.
