"Li Zhu, when did you stop loving me?"

When he asked this question, even his usually cold and perfect face had a crack, as if it would be broken in the next moment.

His voice was not heavy, and even had a deliberate softness to it. But I knew better than anyone else that this was something he had never said before, a word he had forced out with all his heart. Although it was as light as the wind, there was something indescribable about it.

The sadness of the name ripples out in this question.

Even the river has become unstable.

Nangong Lizhu knelt down in front of him, tears streaming down her face. She had always been indifferent, graceful, and aloof, but at this moment, she was at a loss as she had never been before, and her whole body was shaking as if in a storm.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at Pei Yuanhao.

Those autumn-like eyes were full of tears, and their pitiful look was enough to break anyone's heart.

After a long time, she finally spoke: "You know?"

"..." Pei Yuanhao acquiesced.

"When did you know?"

"If a person loves me, I may not know immediately; but if a person no longer loves me, I can't hide it." Pei Yuanhao looked at her and said word by word: "I just want to know,

When did it start?"

After listening to his words, Nangong Lizhu smiled.

The smile on that pear-shaped face was hidden by the thin mist, making it look sad and charming. Even at this time, she was still so beautiful that it could confuse all living beings, but in the final analysis, she was just a woman trapped by love.

.

"From the day I married him."

Pei Yuanhao's body suddenly froze.

I also froze and looked at the two of them stupidly.

From the day she married Pei Yuanxiu, she fell in love with Pei Yuanxiu...? And that day, that day, was the day that changed my destiny...

"From the day you married him?"

Pei Yuanhao shook his head subconsciously and repeated these words in a murmur, as if he couldn't believe it at all: "Why? Why?"

If we really love each other, if we really had feelings before, how could it change because of a marriage? Between Nangong Lizhu and him, I know and I don’t know, but they all had feelings. Let him and her

There were once happy and extremely painful feelings, but why did they end up today?

Nangong Lizhu smiled sadly, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes like a string of broken pearls. She fell to the ground and looked up at the sky blankly, "I have always felt that he is an unreal person. Since childhood,

When he grows up, no one can see his heart clearly, and no one knows what he is thinking. You are more real to me than him. You know how to cherish me and know how to love me. It is impossible for me not to love you. I

Always loving you."

The more she spoke, the harder the tears fell, and her pale little face was soaked with tears.

Pei Yuanhao listened silently without saying a word, but the pain in his eyes seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.

"Until you and I need to make a choice," Nangong Lizhu looked at him and said sadly: "I thought you would give up your position for me. I thought you would surrender to your aunt for me and become a member of her camp.

But I never imagined that what you said to me was that no one could stand in your way - not even me!"

"From that moment on, I realized that you don't love me that much. What you love most is yourself!"

Pei Yuanhao still listened silently without interrupting her, and her accusation was something he could not refute.

He does love himself and his power, but in the end there is nothing wrong with this. Everyone should love themselves and should not lose themselves in a relationship, nor should they give up their life goals and ideals for a mere love.

He was not wrong, and Nangong Lizhu was not wrong either. What was wrong was just fate.

Destiny made them fall in love, but they were destined to be on opposite sides from birth, so this relationship was destined to be a disaster.

"And he -" Nangong Lizhu said: "When I married him, I had given up on it because I always thought he was an emotionless person. I thought he was as heartless as you. But

, on the night we got married, he was so drunk that he passed out. When he was drunk, he kept calling a strange name, and kept calling, and kept calling. He said he wanted to give

That person has complete happiness, but he still has no way to pay for it."

"From that moment on, I realized that he was actually real. He was more real than anyone else."

After she said this, she turned to look at me, her eyes dim with tears, but she kept laughing, smiling so hard, but so sadly.

"You know how envious I am, how jealous I am!"

Following her gaze, Pei Yuanhao also looked at me. At this time, I could only stand in front of her blankly, unable to say or do anything.

Pei Yuanxiu...Pei Yuanxiu...

That man who was like an immortal once told me that he wanted to give me happiness. I never knew when his feelings were born, and I never knew why his feelings were so deep. But now, he and I are together.

, and still stand on opposite sides.

Is this destiny?

Nangong Lizhu slowly stood up from the ground, stumblingly holding on to the mast and looking forward, smiling sadly: "From that time on, I hope he loves me. I work hard to be his good wife. I will do anything for him."

Things, I just hope that he will pour all that kind of emotion into me."

As she said that, she looked back at me: "So, I don't want you to die."

"..."

"Before he falls in love with me, before I replace you, I will not let you die!"

"..."

"I want to get his heart clearly, clearly and completely!"

When she said this, Pei Yuanhao's face turned pale, he kept looking at Nangong Lizhu, listened to her words, and then smiled.

This smile represents indescribable self-mockery and indescribable sadness.

At this moment, several soldiers with swords ran over, knelt down five steps away from him, and said: "Your Majesty, Shengjing's ship has discovered us and is now preparing to return!"<

/p>

His blurred eyes suddenly woke up at this moment, and burst out with a sharp needle-like light. He stood up suddenly and looked up ahead. Sure enough, the big ship in the thick fog had stopped, and he had obviously noticed that something was wrong here.

Nangong Lizhu suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at that side.

"Long live, can you now——"

Before they could finish their words, Pei Yuanhao slowly raised his hand and made a gesture: "Go!"

The soldiers received the order and immediately said: "I obey the order!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they immediately walked to both sides of the deck, took out a few colorful flags, and waved them toward both sides. The movements were very rhythmic, and they knew it was a flag at a glance!

They are——

Just when I was puzzled, huge shadows suddenly appeared in the mist of the valleys on both sides, driving quickly towards the center of the canyon, accompanied by a huge roar, echoing in the valley, as if thousands of troops were galloping.

Galloping, and it seems like there are really two tigers roaring down!

If you look closely, you will see that there are actually two groups of warships!

Zhoushan Navy!

Yes, Zhoushan Navy, if Pei Yuanhao knew from the beginning that Nangong Lizhu's appearance was a ruse, then everything that followed would be false, including hunting down assassins, launching water battles, annihilating the enemy, everything

They are all false, only one is true.

It was he who really dispatched the Zhoushan Navy here for this moment of Tiger Leaping Gorge!

No—no—!

I shook my head, the fear in my heart was swallowing me up like a tiger. At this moment, I seemed to have returned to the night of chaos in the Forbidden City. He forced the palace to seize the son-in-law. The carnage he caused was full of blood, staining the sky red.

The ground became red, and my eyes were also dyed red.

If this blood flowed from Pei Yuanxiu's body——

"Your Majesty," I raised my head subconsciously, walked over, grabbed his sleeve, and knelt in front of him: "Don't—don't—!"

He looked back at me, his sharp eyes showing ferocity at this moment, and he waved his sleeves suddenly!

He waved his sleeves, and the soldiers on both sides immediately took the order and danced a flag towards the Zhoushan warship. The bright red flag drew a cruel arc in the air, as if stained with blood!

"No——!"

Nangong Lizhu's shrill cry rippled across the river. This cry seemed to shatter the sky, and even the fog cracked for her. There was a loud bang from the Zhoushan warship, and fiery sparks broke through the fog.

It shot straight towards the big ship.

Boom——!

Thousands of flames bloomed on the big ship, followed by huge roars and explosions. The firepower of the Hongyi cannon was enough to destroy the canyon. The big ship was soon shattered into pieces.

The people screamed and screamed before death, sawdust flew, and thick smoke billowed, filling the entire valley.

"No! No! Yuan Xiu——!"

Nangong Lizhu screamed like crazy and even wanted to jump down. Pei Yuanhao's eyes were already bloodshot, but he still grabbed her and pulled her back into his arms; while Eunuch Yu and Shui

Xiuya desperately held on to me, preventing me from rushing forward. I struggled, but could not take another step.
