February day.

The sky is gradually clearing up. The warm but not scorching sunshine pours down lazily, rendering the entire earth.

The unmelted snow struggled to rise when the wind blew. The dead branches swayed as if they were struggling to grow new branches.

When Su Gurong stepped into the room, she realized that Su Zhi's face was a little abnormal. Her face was dyed like a tabby cat with ink. Her brows were lightly frowned, her fingers were trembling slightly, and she was standing uneasily. Ah Qi hid behind Su Zhi and gave Su Gurong

After bowing, Su Zhi also spoke softly, "May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

"What are you talking about? So nervous?" Su Gurong spoke condescendingly and playfully.

"Your Majesty, this slave just told my sister about Your Majesty."

"Oh. Ah Zi said, the weather is good today. King Rong's complexion is also better than usual." Su Zhi gently tugged on Ah Zi's sleeves and said loudly.

I thought to myself, Auntie, you don’t want to live anymore. If Su Gurong admits that he likes her, then she will really bleed.

Azi just pretended to be shy and nodded in agreement.

Su Gurong didn't miss Su Zhi's small gestures. He walked up to her and said softly, "Raise your head."

Su Zhi's heart beat violently. People's subconscious minds can really kill people. If Ah Zi didn't say it, he would just think that Su Gurong was hegemonic and wanted to explore her abilities for his own use. When Ah Zi said it, he always felt that Su Gurong was a hegemon.

Gu Rong's attitude and behavior towards her were strange.

"Ah?" Su Zhi said doubtfully.

A smile appeared at the corner of Su Gurong's mouth. He stretched out his slender fingers to lift Su Zhi's chin. His cold fingertips slid across her cheeks and gently wiped away the ink on her face. The delicate skin made people fall in love with it.

Shen Zhen's long, narrow and cunning eyes stared at her pupils, as if he wanted to suck her in. "How stupid," he said.

This doting and pitying tone made Su Zhi's heart hurt. Su Zhi violently knocked his hand away and stepped back. There was no way to retreat, and his waist hit the table, grinning in pain.

She pointed at Su Gurong and stammered, "Didn't Prince Rong promise me, no, not to touch me? Jun Wu said it."

"Is this considered touching you?" Su Gurong saw her stammering cute look and suddenly wanted to hold her in his arms. He increasingly didn't understand how attractive Su Zhi was to him. But he knew,

He became so cheerful, his flexible eyes were as bright as stars, and Su Zhi made him want to stop.

As soon as Su Zhi raised his eyes, he saw Su Gurong's sharp, wolf-like pupils, shining with the kind of excitement that only comes when one finds prey.

Secretly shouting that it's terrible. Could it be...

"I, I'm going to see how my little crossbow is doing. I'm going to leave." After a quick salute, he bypassed Su Gurong and rushed out the door.

"Stop." Su Gurong turned around, stretched out his slender arms and grabbed Su Zhi's back collar, and forcefully lifted her back.

Su Zhi struggled, "Let go. I should have known you didn't keep your word. You villain."

"I didn't touch you. What I touched was your clothes." Su Gurong refused and lifted her up to his eyes like a pet.

What a cunning bitch.

"My slave, please leave." Ah Qi looked at the scene in front of her, not surprised by Su Zhi's boldness and transcendence. She blinked at Su Zhi and was about to go out.

"Hey, Ah Qi. Where are you going? Don't go. Ah Qi." Su Zhi struggled to rush towards Ah Qi, but Su Gurong grabbed his collar and fluttered twice. He forced a smile at Su Gurong.

, "Prince Rong, if you have something to say, please tell me. How about letting me go first?"

"Do you want to run away?" Su Gurong leaned close to Su Zhi, the hot breath from his mouth caressing Su Zhi's earlobe.

Su Zhi had goosebumps all over his body and shook his head. "If you don't want to run, where can I run?"

Su Gurong did not let her go, but moved closer to her, his hot chest pressed against her back, lowered his head, touched her earlobe with the corner of his mouth, and said in a doting and chilling voice,

"This king is not talking about running away. If you continue to think about Lian Chiyuan and try to trick me into escaping, I will trap you in Fengtian even if I break your tendons and hamstrings. Do you understand?

?”

A chill ran down Su Zhi's back and her eyes sank. She said, "From the moment I was arrested, I never thought I could get out alive. King Rong doesn't have to worry, I don't have that much energy anymore. I just think about it all day long."

Run away.”

Su Gurong smiled, "That's the best. You have to know that the person I like is not going to go anywhere if I don't die."

Really. When these two words flashed in Su Zhi's mind, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. He swallowed secretly and forced out a pale smile. "I'm really, really flattered, ah."

Su Gurong let him go, stretched out his hand to drink a cup of hot tea for her, and handed it to her.

Su Zhi didn't want her salary to rise so quickly from her original status as a prisoner, but no matter how kind Su Gurong was to her, she couldn't erase the fact that he killed his master, her senior sister and her senior brother.

"You really don't know Qing Qing?" Su Gurong said lazily and casually.

Su Zhi's hand holding the water glass trembled, and then he raised his eyes and blinked innocently at Su Gurong, "Why does Prince Rong need to ask like this?"

"She went to Qinglin Island in the Dongpu River, presumably to find Fuhua. I think you have a good relationship with Fuhua, and you might recognize her." Su Gurong still had a calm attitude.

Su Zhi's heart skipped a beat, my dear sister, why did you go to Fuhua? Thinking of Fuhua, blazing flames rushed to the top of her head. For some reason, she always felt that there was some special feeling towards Fuhua. Maybe.

, it must have been life and death together.

"I don't know him." Su Zhi said dullly.

When Su Gurong heard this, he couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth. He liked hearing Su Zhidao cut off relationships with other men. His growing possessiveness forced him to want to get her as soon as possible. Her people were still

Has her heart.

"Then, do you know Lian Chiyuan?" Su Gurong asked with a half-smile, staring straight into her pupils.

The tea in Su Zhi's hand suddenly became hot, as if it was about to burn her whole body into ashes.

Over the past few days, there has not been a day that she has not missed her, and there has not been a day that she has dared to forget. His name and his appearance have become a soft thorn in her heart, and every time she mentions it, she feels heart-wrenching pain.

"There are times in your life that you must have, but there are times in your life that you don't have to force," Su Zhi said with a smile.

Su Gurong laughed softly when Su Zhi finished speaking. He stood up and took the tea from her hand.

"The tea is cold," he said.

Su Zhi didn't answer. Yes, the tea has gone cold, and so has my heart.

"I will slowly tell you that you can only belong to me." Su Gurong drank the herbal tea into her throat and spoke word by word.

Su Zhi's eyes tightened, "I want to defend the city."

"Why?" Su Gurong frowned.

"If we can make this crossbow within a few days, we won't be able to try it out in the main city, and there will be more open space to defend the city near Lingshan. So I kindly ask King Rong to give me half a month to concentrate on studying this matter."

Su Gurong just looked at her and was immersed in it for a long time. Her thin lips slightly opened and she said, "Stop."

"Um?"

"Call my name from now on."

Su Zhi raised her head in disbelief. This sentence was so familiar. That person also said this to her a long time ago.

"Isn't it good?" The corner of Su Zhi's mouth twitched. The split personality appeared again.

"If I ask you to shout, just shout." Su Gurong said coldly.

"Su Gurong." Su Zhibing said weakly.

"Remove the last name."

The veins on the top of Su Zhi's head twitched, and he rubbed his nose and face. You don't think it's disgusting, but I do. He raised his head and smiled, "I think it's good to add it. It would be too awkward to remove it."

"Are you bargaining with me?" Su Gurong said.

"Look at you, what do you mean by asking me to call your name and then putting on this airs for me?" Su Zhi sneered.

Su Gurong was in an inexplicably good mood. He stood up, walked over to Su Zhi, reached out and tapped her head gently, "Now you are putting on airs with me."

Su Zhi stepped back and waved his hand, "No. I don't dare."

"I will help you get settled in the city guarding the city. We will set off early tomorrow morning."

"Are you going too?" Su Zhi was shocked.

"The king still has state affairs to deal with, why will he go?"

"That's good." He murmured weakly.

"If you miss me, I will take the time to see you."

"I don't want to, I don't want to."

"Really?" The cold air leaked out.

"I think about it, I think about it. But the king must put state affairs first. I won't run away." Su Zhi raised his hands.

"The city is heavily guarded, and No. 7 will go with us. Even if you want to run away, you can't." Su Gurong smiled.

"Rong Wang Yingming." Su Zhi said sarcastically.

"By the way. I thought that Lian Chiyuan would come to save you, so I specially prepared a big gift for him, but I didn't expect that he didn't make any move. Tell me, has he forgotten you?" Su Gurong was about to stop.

She held her long hair in her hand, tangled it, and spoke calmly.

Su Zhi smiled, "I am dispensable in the first place, how could he start a war between the two countries because of me, causing all lives to be destroyed?"

Su Gurong also smiled, "That's right. But if I were the king, I would rather destroy the world than save you. Do you believe it?"

Bang bang, her heart beat suddenly. It wasn't that she had always been hypocritical, or that she didn't understand. It was just that in these troubled times, she was unwilling to explain her emotions. Su Gurong's treatment of her was good and bad, precisely because of the unstable feelings in her heart.
