Tyrant I am from MI9

Chapter 22

There will always be such a day, there will always be.

A year later, his nickname was already out, and King Qi sent a large number of beautiful women to him, a child who was not yet 11 years old.Therefore, he complied with their wishes and perfectly played the role of this vicious, shameless, licentious and unscrupulous prince.

That day was Qingxia's ninth birthday.On the west side of Ronghua Palace, beside Xiyu Haizi, several princes Qi Yu, Qi Yang and Qi Xiao came to the pavilion, and wanted to exchange two singers for the little companions behind Chu Li.

After two years of following, everyone in the palace regarded Qing Xia as Chu Li's companion.And as she grew older, Qing Xia, who was only nine years old, already showed amazing beauty.Until now, he can even feel Qing Xia's small hands, she tightly grasped her sleeves, and regarded herself as her big backer.She even poked her head out from behind her, making faces at Qi Yu and the others, because she believed that she would always protect her.She believed in him so wholeheartedly, she stuck out her tongue mischievously at Qi Yu and the others, and said stubbornly: "When I grow up, I promise to be prettier than your diva."

But what can he do?He is only 11 years old. In Qi State, he has no friends, relatives, rights, or status. He is isolated like a tree in the sea, with no place to take root at all.Just like that, he smiled and waved at Qi Yu nonchalantly, "Your Highness likes it, so I'll give it to you."

I can never forget the look in my eyes at that time, I can't forget the child holding my little hand tightly, and I can't forget how hot the weather was that day.He was running fast on the long and bright corridor like a desperate leopard.He said to himself, I will always take back everything I lost, I will always trample all those who bullied me, I will always let Qingxia come back to me, I will always...

But, he won't after all.Time passed like that, and he also tried to run back to the pavilion, but when facing Qi Yu and the others, he could only say one thing: "Don't forget to send the singer to my palace."

They were just kids, he told himself, and they were just pranks.

But he also knew that it was not just a silly trick of a child, what he lost on that day was the most precious trust.

That day, Qing Xia's eyes were so bright, her face was covered with black mud smeared by boys' pranks, she was tightly tied to a big tree, her mouth grew wide, and she cried loudly.While crying, she yelled to herself, she said brother Li, brother Li, help Xia'er...

In the end, he was not the one who went to help her. Qi An was already Da Qi's prince at that time, and he took his place, pulled the little girl into his arms, and shouted to the younger brothers who were running away with their heads in their arms: "In the future! No one is allowed to bully her again!"

After that day, Mr. Zhuang began to really decide to help him escape from Qi and return to Chu to take the throne.In order to prepare for this decision, they spent ten years.

When leaving his palace, Mr. Zhuang turned his head, his eyes were as deep as the sea, he nodded lightly, and his voice was heavy but ethereal, "A person who can give up everything will definitely get the whole world." .”

This is why Zhuang Dianru is willing to help him, and it is also the biggest turning point in his life.It's just because he is cruel enough to let it go.

Chu Li leaned against the door frame, immersed in his own memories, all the time whistling by his ears, whose heart was left behind in the distant years.

As the sun gradually set, the maids gathered outside the door, but they didn't dare to cross Chu Li and come in to hold the lamp.Qing Xia had no choice but to move her body, raised her head from the beauty, and smiled faintly at Chu Li, her black and white eyes were as calm as autumn water, her face had a soft brilliance, as if she had just discovered him, she smiled faintly He said, "You're back."

"En," Chu Li replied, and then slowly walked into the inner room. The maids behind hurried in and lit up all the lights in the room as if they were being amnesty.

The bright candlelight shone on the faces of the two of them, and there was a hint of haze.Qing Xia got up, walked forward naturally, untied the belt of Chu Li's armor in front of him, then walked around behind, untied his armor one by one, and put them on the small table beside him.The movement is very natural, as if it has been practiced for many years, without any embarrassment.

In fact, she had already found Chu Li standing at the door, but she didn't know what emotion was surging in her heart, making her not want to get up and face this man.A certain air of silence reverberated between the two of them, which finally destroyed Qing Xia's super endurance.She is not a simple and ignorant ancient woman, nor is she a harem concubine who seeks favor. She came to this strange dynasty inexplicably. She seems to have been drifting with the tide without any direction of her own.After serving the country in the army for so many years, this is the first time that she feels that she has no sense of belonging.

Still staying in the palace, maybe it is really a kind of ostrich complex, do you think that if you don’t go out and have a look, there will still be a lot of tall buildings outside?Or like a newborn duck, the first place you enter is your home?

The maids came in from the outside, served the two of them on the small table, and set up a large table full of beautiful things, but they couldn't arouse any appetite.Holding the chopsticks, Chu Li stared blankly at the opposite Qing Xia, thought for a while, picked up a piece of bamboo shoots, put it in his mouth without taste, and said calmly without looking up: "Why do you want to save Concubine Dan? "

Qing Xia didn't expect that he would come to ask this question, she took a bowl of rice into her mouth and said, "I didn't pay attention to who she was at the time, I just saw that she was still angry."

Chu Li's expression remained unchanged, and he seemed to ask unintentionally, "Why weren't you in the palace, where did you go when it was on fire?"

Qing Xia's movements froze, her lips turned white slightly, she thought for a while, and said directly: "I wanted to try to report to you, but before I walked out of Donghua Gate, I was almost spotted by the guards, so I came back secretly gone."

"Oh?" Chu Li's voice rose slightly, he raised his eyebrows, and said, "Lin Mubai, the historian of the Museum of Literature and History, reported that a court lady assisted him in escaping from the palace. That person, isn't you?"

Qing Xia frowned, and said in a low voice with some doubts: "Lin Mubai? But the Chief Historian of the Cultural and Historical Museum, Mr. Lin?"

"It's him, have you really seen him?"

"Where is it?" Qing Xia raised his head, his eyes were as clear as water, "It's just that I read his Da Qin Shi Ji a while ago, and I thought it had some literary talent, so I just remembered it. He, a scholar, was willing to take great risks to go out of the palace to report the news." , is indeed a loyal minister."

"Yes, this is a great achievement. No matter who has done it, they should be rewarded greatly." Chu Li had something to say, and said in a deep voice: "Qing Xia, you know martial arts, why have I never seen you practice before."

Qingxia knew that Qi An, who was imprisoned in the sky prison, must have shown his flaws when he came to rescue him that day. He must have kept this doubt in his heart and investigated secretly.Maybe even the matter of Qi An's escape, he had already suspected himself, and it was said that Lin Shusheng was responsible for it.Qingxia looked at Chu Li calmly, her voice was light, showing a sense of alienation that she didn't want to say anymore, "I learned a little bit when I was in Qihuang Palace, but I never had a chance to use it."

It has been nearly a month since I came here, and Qingxia already knows almost everything about Zhuang Qingxia. She used to be the best agent of the Military Intelligence Department, and she is best at finding useful information from clues.Besides, Zhuang Qingxia's matter is known to everyone here, and it's not a secret.Seeing that Chu Li saw her saying this, she really didn't want to say any more.He lowered his head and ate quietly without speaking.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and after a while, Chu Li's personal eunuch Rong Yuan's voice sounded outside the door, "Your Highness, the people below report that Concubine Xiao Gui is still kneeling outside the main hall of the East Palace."

With a sound of "snap", the silver chopsticks in Chu Li's hand fell onto the small table. Qing Xia looked up suspiciously, only to see Chu Li frowning, meditating silently. After a long time, he picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat, but He didn't respond to the sound outside.

But the other hand, which was placed a few times, was tightly clenched.

Qingxia sighed, the most heartless place in the world is the emperor's house.Behind the pinnacle of power, there are thick blood and tears and numerous bones. If you want to stand on the pinnacle, you need to have superb courage and strong ruthlessness.Chu Li, are you not ready yet?If you want glory and power, you also need to pay a price.

Qing Xia stood up, summoned a maid, put on gorgeous palace attire, put on a big fur, walked out of the bedroom, and said to Rong Yuan: "Send me."

"Ma'am, where are you going?"

"Eastern Palace Hall."

The wind at night was indeed a bit cold, and after about half a cup of tea, Qing Xia finally met this most luxurious woman in Southern Chu Kingdom.

Thinking of Chu Li sitting in the Lanting Hall with a desolate face, a trace of coldness rose in Qing Xia's heart.This is Chu Li's biological mother, the virtuous mother who took the initiative to send her son to Qi State as a hostage, and the traitor who conspired to overthrow her son's position last night.

Is the harem a place to kill people? Why is such a woman born?Behind Qing Xia followed a large number of personal guards, sitting on a golden phoenix chariot, looking at this ruthless woman who repeatedly stretched out her black hands to her son, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

"You kneel here now, what else do you want to do?"

Qing Xia's voice was cold, with a bleak smell in the wind.Concubine Xiao seems to be kneeling a little numb. A woman who is nearly 40 years old has fair skin and picturesque eyebrows. She looks like a 30-year-old enchanting woman. Her long black hair has a broken beauty in the air, like butterfly wings. , fluttering in the wind, she slowly raised her pale and slender face, her pale lips slightly opened, and said coldly to Qing Xia: "Where is he? Tell him to come see me."
