How can love and hate be embarrassing (23)
"Ji Qing, that was all done by Jing Yuan, Mu Xuan never had such an idea, if he did this, you would have died a long time ago, you don't have to wait until today. Mengzhu shook her head in denial of Ji Qing's words, she believed Situ Xiao.
Yes, he used this method to not only get Mengzhu's person, but also her heart. Ji Qing firmly believes that this is Situ Xiao's excellence, it seems that he does not coerce with power, but he is working hard in secret.
But what he wants to hear now is not this, he has lost too much for her, he has paid too much, she is willing to help him, which makes his dead heart see a ray of light again, that is, death, he still covets such a ray of sunshine and hope.
But she quickly erased this ray of hope from his heart, she believed in him so much, and even conceived a child for him, he saw her slightly bulging abdomen, and he had an urge to want to sin, this was a terrible thought, just like when he left Huaiyang, for her, he made an unforgivable mistake, perhaps, it was he who pushed her to his side with his own hands, because he underestimated Situ Xiao and underestimated his feelings for her.
He didn't dare to think about what would happen in the future, he was just greedy for her breath, there was only one wall lamp in the room, the light was faintly sprinkled, her face was still so delicate, that time she came back from Huaiyang, in the main hall of the Li Mansion, there was only one wall lamp, the dim light was sprinkled on her radiant face, he tickled her, she smiled coquettishly, leaning on the wall, he couldn't help himself, kissed down, the scene seemed to be in front of him, but it seemed to be a previous life, so far away.
"Mengzhu, one day, you will understand how much I have to pay to love you. His faint sigh, in such a quiet cold house, reminiscent of a ghost, her heart trembled a little, what she owed him was destined to be impossible to repay.
Situ Xiao came back early tonight, and learned from his subordinates that Mengzhu had returned to the Li Mansion, so he asked the kitchen to prepare barley and lotus seed porridge, just waiting for Mengzhu to come back.
Mengzhu opened the door and saw Situ Xiao, her face was a little tired, Qinglian took off her coat for her, Situ Xiao helped her sit down, and asked Qinglian to go to the kitchen to get porridge.
"Mu Xuan, I don't want to eat today. She pushed his hand away.
"Well, eat some. He coaxed her gently, as usual.
"I really don't want to eat it. She frowned and pushed his hand away.
He put down the bowl in his hand and asked softly, "What's wrong, Mengzhu?"
"Are you doing well in the army?Mu Xuan?Are you busy lately?" Situ Xiao was a little surprised, after marriage, Mengzhu never asked him about the affairs of the army, that is, he brought Yilin to the position of commander of the army, under one person, above ten thousand, he told her, and she only responded lightly.
He couldn't figure out what was going on with her, so he looked at her quietly, trying to know what she wanted to know. But she didn't say anything more, and looked at him quietly, she was not a person who was good at disguise, and he saw a kind of uneasiness in her eyes.
"What's going on?Mengzhu?" he reached out and stroked her face, her face was very cold, she didn't let the driver of the Young Marshal's Mansion pick it up, she came back by rickshaw, the wind was so strong outside, how could it not be cold?
"Why are you arresting Ji Qing?" she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He didn't speak, and the room fell silent. He thought that she would not know about it without leaving the house, he wanted to hide it from her, and tell her when the time was right, even Yilin hid it, how would she know?
"How do you know?" he asked.
"Is that true? Why?" she was about to burst into tears, just to hear him say no, but he asked her how he knew.
He remained silent, and she saw him take the cigarette case out of his pocket and put it back in.
"Why don't you speak. Her heart tightened, and something swished down.
He wanted to speak several times and stopped, the more nervous she became, she didn't dare to imagine what kind of words he was going to say, really as Ji Qing said, his love was so narrow that he couldn't tolerate a man who was hurt by them?
"Mengzhu, things are a little complicated, this matter has caused a big sensation in the upper echelons of the army, except for Yilin. "Doublelin is what he deliberately concealed.
She looked at him motionlessly, his words were beyond his expectations, how could Ji Qing be involved in the affairs of the army?
"Mengzhu, do you still remember that you were kidnapped by Shi Zhibang's people, I didn't expect it, it was Ji Qing, he went directly to Jingyan from Huaiyang, found the officer who arrested him, and wanted to see Shi Zhibang, the officer saw that he could get out of prison and came to find Shi Zhibang, he must have come to see him, and he really let him see it. β
"He made a deal with Shi Zhibang, he helped Shi Zhibang kidnap you, forced me to give up the two provinces and cities I occupied, whether it was successful or not, and promised to return you intact afterwards. He paused, "If I don't want to, his marriage with you will be logical, if I want, let Shi Zhibang unite with the west, so that I will take care of you flawlessly." I understand that he did all this for you. β
"I have long suspected that this matter is strange, who can kidnap you as he wants in my territory, who can come up with such an idea for me to exchange two provinces and cities for you, I asked people to investigate, and sure enough, the cause and effect were found out some time ago. β
Situ Xiao stood up, "I can't help but give an explanation to the soldiers, they have fought bloodily for several months, and the lives and blood of countless soldiers have withered because of his selfishness and madness. β
He squatted down and lifted her chin, "Mengzhu, I don't want you and Yilin to know, because I don't want to make you sad, but they didn't catch Zheng Jiqing, he ran away, I wonder who would know the news, who told you?"
Mengzhu looked at him blankly, as if listening to a very novel story, she suddenly laughed, laughed so much that tears flowed out, shook her head and said, "Mu Xuan, don't make up such a story, I don't like it." β
"Who told you that this is very important, who leaked the secret? Mengzhu, you tell me. Mengzhu looked at Situ Xiao's serious expression, and seemed to have just woken up, she stopped laughing, opened her eyes wide, and said, "No one told me that I saw some people in military uniforms breaking into the Zheng Mansion at the door of Ji Qing's house, so I asked you." β
"Are you going to Zheng's house?" Situ Xiao looked at her suspiciously.
"I, I heard that Ji Qing is always drunk, so I want to go and see it. Mu Xuan, is there any evidence to prove that it is Ji Qing?
She couldn't believe that the handsome scholar who used to be sunny and indisputable would do such a thing to her, this kind of thing was obviously only done by people like Situ Xiao and Li Yilin, who were competing in the flames of war, how could it be Ji Qing---- that weak scholar?
He saw the doubt in her eyes, didn't she believe him? thought that he would hurt Zheng Jiqing like his father hurt his father? Or, she still had feelings for Zheng Jiqing that she couldn't let go? His heart seemed to be stabbed, and he looked at her with a strange expression: "Do you think I will wronged him?"
"Mu Xuan, I meanβ" he waved his hand, "It's late, go to sleep." β
Lying on the bed, she thought back to what he had just said, no matter what, she couldn't believe that Ji Qingzhen would do such a thing, and he seemed to be asleep and didn't move. She decided that she would ask Ji Qing face to face tomorrow if he had done such a thing.
