- The palace people who have served Concubine De know that Concubine De has two palace maids who are more relied on, and these two palace maids are almost close to each other, and they are favored by Concubine De and no one else can replace them. As for the reason why Concubine De treated these two people so differently, the old lady in the palace who understood them well understood very well that they were indeed irreplaceable, because one of them walked in the palace for Concubine De, and the other was a pair of eyes that Concubine De placed outside the palace.

To be more precise, compared with Cuichun, the personal maid in the main palace, Concubine De should rely more on the Qingxia who walked outside the palace. Not for anything else, it seems that because Concubine De is holding something outside the palace, it is inconvenient for her to handle it directly, and in the distance between the palace and the outside of the palace, it is all up to this person to stabilize the long line.

Concubine De is the noble lady sitting in a private house in front of her, who is angry and has a broken demeanor.

And the young woman kneeling at her feet, motionless like a stone sculpture, was that Qingxia.

Three years ago, Qingxia was ordered by Concubine De to leave the palace to track someone's whereabouts and chase them to the north, thousands of miles away.

She was delayed there for nearly three years, during which time she rarely communicated with Kyoto. Even in the third year, she had a period of six months without hearing from her. However, Concubine De, who lived in the deep palace, did not slow down her trust in her at all, and when she figured out that she might be in big trouble, she sent someone to find a response.

Concubine De said to this personally: Even if the body is found, it must be transported back for burial.

The result of the search was, of course, that after all kinds of difficulties and dangers, Qingxia was finally rescued alive from there, and Concubine De paid another girl who had been trained for many years to go in.

But what Concubine De never expected was that she spent a lot of money to rescue Qingxia, and as soon as she came back, she did something against her, which made her shocked and angry.

Is it true that if a person is put out of control for too long, this person will inevitably lose some things that should be kept, but instead increase some thoughts that should not be there?

Concubine De thought so in her heart, looking at the one in front of her who was kneeling with her head down. But the woman, whose shoulders were obviously much thinner than before, felt a little pity in her heart, knowing that this girl she had raised from a child to such a big one had suffered a lot in the three years she had gone to the north. But there was a lingering suspicion in her heart, a little bit of pity that gnawed at her.

She suddenly felt itching in her heart, and coughed.

Hearing Concubine De's cough, the kneeling Qing Xia suddenly raised her head, a trace of worry from the bottom of her heart appeared in her eyes, and she said with some anxiety: "Master, if you are angry, sprinkle it on Qing Xia, let you fight, kick a few feet, just don't be angry with your own body!" ”

Concubine De couldn't help but be moved when she heard this. For a while, I felt that the servant in front of me, who had just returned after being away for three years, had not changed, but he was too careful. Somehow, the strange itch in her heart worsened, and the cough increased again.

Qing Xia looked at this scene, and her heart was even more anxious. Compared to the Cuichun who walked in the palace. Qing Xia is a person who is not very slippery in her mouth, she is only good at taking practical actions.

So as soon as she gritted her teeth, she suddenly raised her hand and pulled it her cheek!

"Smack!"

Although Qing Xia's slap was slapped on his face, he didn't have half of the force, and he only took it stiffly.

She followed someone to the Northlands and stayed in that rough place for three years. I have suffered a lot. I was finally picked up about a month ago, and now I am much thinner than when I went three years ago, and my already not plump body is even more rugged.

Her already narrow cheeks were as if another layer had been cut off by a knife, and her cheekbones were a little protruding. Although she also ate a lot of nourishing food after coming back and raised her well for more than half a month, she still didn't see any more meat on her body. It's still a body like dry wood. People who saw her three years ago can't help but feel frightened when they look at her now.

The palm of the hand, which was also so thin that the bones protruded, slapped on such a thin face with almost only one skin left, and a bright red palm print quickly seeped out of the skin of Qing Xia's side face, which made people feel a little sad to look at.

"What are you doing here?" Looking at the woman kneeling in front of her feet, this slap herself. Concubine De was also slightly surprised in her heart. After being stunned for a moment, she waved her hand lightly and said, "You get up." Since you are my person, you should not hurt yourself so lightly in the future. ”

Hearing the master's words of forgiveness, Qingxia didn't immediately get up according to the words, she hesitated a little, the master's love turned too quickly, and this forgiveness came a little suddenly.

Noticing her expression, Concubine De raised her eyebrows condescendingly and said, "Do you still need to wait for the palace to help you up?" ”

Qing Xia finally got rid of the suspicion in her heart and stood up according to her words. Her legs were a little paralyzed because she had been kneeling for a long time, and when she just stood up, her body couldn't stop staggering.

Concubine De's corner of her eyes also noticed this detail, and after being silent for a while, she ordered again: "You can find a place to sit down by yourself." ”

Qing Xia knew Concubine De's temper, so in the face of the master's gift, she did not push it away with false words, but directly agreed to her promise. However, of course, she could not be ignorant of the rules of her identity, so instead of sitting on the round chair with carved peony amphorae on the side of the house, she moved a low four-legged pine stool and sat in the corner of the room. When the master looked at her, he still held a condescending angle.

After Qingxia sat down, Concubine De suddenly sighed, and said softly in her voice: "I really can't imagine that there have been such powerful people hidden outside the Song Mansion. ”

At the mention of this, Qing Xia lowered his head again, and said with guilt in his voice: "This is all Qing Xia's negligence and dereliction of duty. ”

Concubine De's feelings at this time were much calmer than just now, and in the face of problems, her thinking was naturally more rational. Hearing Qing Xia accuse again, she didn't mean to be angry again, but said lightly: "The main responsibility for this matter does not lie with you, and it hasn't been long since you came back, so it's normal that there will be omissions in your understanding of that mansion." If you want to talk about the person who should be punished, it should be the girl of Bai Peach! She has been in that house for more than three years, and the palace also left her a few helpers, mixed in the house, and she was still careless! ”

Thinking of the shadow man who is very good at tracking and seems to be unable to get rid of once he sticks to it, Qingxia still has palpitations until now. Hearing that Concubine De was going to blame Bai Tao for the shadow man's matter, Bai Tao hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but explain: "Please forgive Qingxia for saying more." In Qing Xia's opinion, the shadow man's means are extremely high. As far as the kung fu of tracking and concealment is concerned, his body is close to a ghost, but he doesn't know what his martial arts will be if he fights him directly. But that's all there is to it. If he wants to avoid the white peach, it will not be difficult. ”

Concubine De heard the meaning of pleading for Bai Tao in Qingxia's words, if it weren't for the fact that she was in a calmer mood now, and was rationally thinking about today's unplanned little accident, she might have been restless again.

After frowning slightly and pondering for a moment, Concubine De slowly asked, "According to your words, since his tracking skills are so powerful, he may have followed you before you even knew it, but he didn't mean to do anything to you in advance?" ”

"I'm afraid so." Qing Xia nodded, and she quickly thought about the experience of being entangled by the shadow man for half an hour and couldn't get rid of it. Then he said: "If he had wanted to do it earlier, Qing Xia would probably be seriously injured if he didn't die today, because I'm still not sure when and where he tracked me." But he didn't do that, until I deliberately led him into a winding alleyway with a winding front and back, and a closed left and right end, and I stood face to face with him. He didn't even mean to draw his weapon. ”

At this point, before the meaning was finished, Qing Xia suddenly paused, because what she was about to say next might poke Concubine De's anger again.

After taking a long and deep breath, Qing Xia finally spoke again, and said in the most gentle tone possible, "This shadow man's purpose for doing this is obvious. If I hadn't found him today, then your plan might have been completely shattered today, my master. ”

As soon as Qing Xia's words fell, Concubine De's brows suddenly jumped.

Among the servants beside Concubine De, I'm afraid that Qing Xia dared to say this to her so bluntly. Concubine De also knows that Qingxia is this character, and the rarity lies in that. Concubine De is willing to tolerate this girl. Even if another girl who was valued by Concubine De came to her, she couldn't get such leniency.

However, as soon as he finished saying this, Qing Xia's heart still couldn't help but be shocked. Even if she knew that Concubine De would probably not blame her, she was still afraid of her master's anger.

Concubine De's treatment of Qingxia was really a little different, and she just snorted coldly when she heard this. He only said in a quiet voice: "Your speculation sounds very convincing at first glance, but this palace suddenly thinks of a person and his style of doing things, so what you said may not be true." ”

Just when Concubine De's words mentioned the word "one person", someone seemed to suddenly break into the front yard outside the hall, stirring up a noisy sound.

The dozen or so guards that Concubine De brought with her out of the palace this time were originally guarding the front yard, but the two people in the hall only heard that the sound of them preparing to draw the sword of the protector was unusually short, as if the handle of the knife had just left the leather sheath, and it was attacked by an external force in the extreme time and slapped back.

The knife could not be drawn, and the front yard soon resounded with the dull sound of fists hitting each other, and it seemed to be mixed with the sound of several bones breaking. It was not clear, but the chilling fighting sound did not last long, and finally ended in the muffled snort of several people, and the whole process was only fast enough for the last half of the sentence after Concubine De in the hall finished speaking.

Qing Xia Huo Ran stood up and took a step towards the door of the hall, intending to stop the rude offender.

Concubine De was still sitting on the chair, and when there was a noise in the front yard just now, her eyes only fluctuated slightly. She is a person close to the emperor, and she has even seen the big scene of a group of assassins attacking His Majesty many times, and her mind has already developed a certain amount of toughness. What's more, the person who came to attack today came in from the main entrance, not a sneak attack, and Concubine De was sitting in the main seat in the hall, and looking out of the door from the angle where she was, she saw some clues at a glance, and she had a certain number in her heart.

The guards of Concubine De in the front yard had all been subdued by the entourage brought by the uninvited guest within three moves, or their limbs were clamped, or they were directly knocked unconscious.

And this uninvited guest seems to be familiar with this kind of thing, and he doesn't need to take a second look at it at all, and only hands over all the obstacles in front of him to his subordinates. From the moment he crossed the threshold of the front yard gate, he strode straight as if there was a smooth road in front of him.

He really didn't get in the way.

Although there were only four followers he brought today, all of them were veterans with profound martial arts and experience in today's scene, he only needed to take his direction, and these four followers would naturally open the way for him.

An uninvited guest in a wide cloak strode up the stone straight road in the front yard of this small house, and quickly stepped over the threshold of the main hall of the main house, pausing slightly one step away from Qingxia.

Qing Xia was about to make a move, even if she had already indirectly seen from the retinue she had brought with her that this person had a good background. She also swore to protect the lord to the death, but it was at this moment that she heard Concubine De's order: "Stop!" ”

Qing Xia swung his hand knife into the air, and he was still an inch away from the neck of this uninvited guest. She couldn't help but be slightly stunned. It wasn't because she heard Concubine De's order to stop it in time, but because she had seen this person's face clearly with a single step and recognized his identity.

"Ahh I didn't expect this great man to come here suddenly in this way, Qing Xia's surprise was indescribable, and the strength of her kneeling down was as heavy as a hammer stone because of her loss of mind, and her knees hit the ground on the stone slab, making a dull "bang" sound.

But she didn't have time to feel the pain in her knees, and she only had time to shout as she lay on the ground: "Cheap maid to meet the Prime Minister!" ”

The knuckles of the knuckles were lifted up, and the bucket hat that was low on the head was lifted. Shi Jing's well-maintained face, which looked like a prime of life, was revealed. The red glow on his face, which had seen through his muscular physique, became more vivid in the movement along the way, which made the slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth even more indistinguishable.

It's really hard for outsiders to see that he's five out of fifty by now. At first glance, when others looked at the prime minister, they all unconsciously wanted to be ten or eight years old, only his guards would know. My own master is such a health-conscious person.

And only Shi Jing's henchmen and guards really understand that Master Shi cherishes his body so much, it is not as simple as just liking the way of cultivation. He wanted to live longer, after all, for the great cause he had been planning for many years.

Looking at the current emperor, he is in the prime of life, and his subordinates are full of talents, and there are rookies rising up. The trend of getting closer to the big talent. Nowadays, from the perspective of financial and manpower, Nanzhao is obviously being absorbed and gathered by this emperor, and has the sign of being held tightly by him and let his mind make it. Waiting by the side of such a king to cooperate with his governance, Shi Jing knew very well in his heart that his advantages were not enough to meet him head-on, and his biggest disadvantage in age must be protected step by step.

Shi Jing sometimes had a delusion. Maybe Wang Chi didn't need to use any means against him, as long as he never had a chance to touch the military power, he could be exhausted and killed in the phase. In another fifteen years, he will be seventy, perhaps from a poor birth. His physical foundation is not very good, and he will not live to that age. But on the other hand, Wang Chi will be in his early fifties in another fifteen years, and with the physical background he has trained in his military career, it may be enough to be an emperor for another ten years.

Looking at the hundreds of years of history of the previous dynasty, there are many heroes who lost to Shouyuan and died of sudden illness on the road to the officialdom, and even on the road to the territory of the country. Although this kind of defeat may make onlookers feel a little unwilling, this is a fact that cannot be ignored.

Shi Jing, who can only be on the defensive at present, will not ignore this point, and the catastrophe of Shouyuan may not be solved.

Taking care of himself is the heaviest preparation he has always made for his Spring and Autumn Cause, and only by doing this step can he have enough energy to deal with the heavy business he faces every day, and at the same time take care of many extremely troublesome changes in private affairs.

Just like the incident that Concubine De made today, and asked him to clean up the aftermath, if he is not careful, this may become a big bad move that will set fire to himself.

He was almost buried alive by a pile of folds all day today. The emperor suddenly left the palace this afternoon, and after a long delay outside and did not see him back, the ministers of the six ministries put on his desk the folds handed over by dozens of counties in the three subordinate prefectures.

As the prime minister of one dynasty, the emperor gave Shi Jing the special power to read the folds first, but Shi Jing knew very well that the emperor's decentralization was half-baked, so don't think that in this way he has the opportunity to monopolize power and override the emperor.

When he exercised the power of "first reading", the small chapter that made the decision was definitely not there, and he could only use a blue pen to review it. And when the emperor returns, no matter how busy he is, he will quickly glance at the recitals that have been reviewed by the prime minister, and if he thinks it is inappropriate, he will have to find a reason to overhaul it. Such a potential rule has existed for more than ten years, and the ministers below have also been transparent in their hearts, and they do not regard this blue character as an iron law.

This is the only bit of real power that the emperor has in the civil service after quietly hollowing out the prime minister and losing his hands on the military.

Besides. If the prime minister first looks at the folds and leaves the handwriting of the approval, instead of seconding the approval in a more fixed mode after the emperor's approval, some of the prime minister's words are between the lines. may leak some true intentions to the emperor and let them see.

This right to "read for the first time" is sometimes like a single-plank bridge in Shi Jing's view, and the scenery above is not good. And every time you walk by, you have to be very careful not to slip out of the canoe.

Therefore, Shi Jing, who had been busy at the desk for most of the day, already felt that his brain was a little cloudy, and he almost ignored a major event.

Fortunately, he had been away for a while from the study where the important state books were kept, and one of his guards took the opportunity to quietly come close and say goodbye. He finally seized the opportunity to save it.

During his office, the interval between being able to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion was very short, and he had already run two places in a row in half an hour to make the next arrangements. But for him, the most important place is still here with Concubine De.

It's only one step into the hall. Shi Jing was wanted to be stopped by the woman in front of him, but soon the woman recognized his identity and immediately knelt down to confess...... And in the face of the ups and downs of this qiē situation, Shi Jing didn't look at this woman at all, for him, this person was not enough to occupy an inch in his eyes.

"You retreat to a position where you can't hear the voices from here." Shi Jing raised his hand casually and waved away the woman who was kneeling in front of his feet. And as he did this, his gaze went straight ahead, and he never took his eyes off the face of the lady in the main seat of the hall.

He finally looked at the face of this noble lady, and did not call his personal guard entourage to take Qingxia out directly, but opened his mouth and said a word, telling her to go out by herself.

Qing Xia is gone. All the people in front of and behind the house also retreated.

It's so quiet here that there are only two of them.

For this kind of anti-personnel treatment of him. Concubine De had actually foreseen it in her heart, and this was almost his usual practice, and she was not surprised by this.

However, the environment of this meeting was not in the palace, he did not come out of the secret passage under her bed, and did not lift her bed into two sections. She was a little curious about it.

Looking at Concubine De's face with a hint of a smile slipping by, Shi Jing suddenly said in an indifferent tone: "You seem to be a little happy today?" ”

Thinking of today's sudden change in events, it can be vaguely seen that Shi Jinghui's purpose for suddenly appearing here, the smile on Concubine De's face quickly became cold, she sneered and said, "No one stipulates that laughter has to be caused by happiness. ”

Shi Jing didn't continue the topic with her, he would have asked such a sentence just now, not only because he really caught a smile on Concubine De's face, but also because it could be regarded as a greeting that old friends should have saved when they met.

This is the end of the words, and when Shi Jing spoke again, he directly clarified the purpose of his coming here today in front of Concubine De.

"I'm here to persuade you to stop." Shi Jing had a grim face when he spoke, "If you don't want to listen to persuasion, then I can only stop it directly." ”

Words that are too straightforward are always easy to cause displeasure, not to mention that what Shi Jing said in this tone was to prevent Concubine De from waiting for three years and preparing for three years. He still refused to be tactful, which made her heart grow more and more angry.

"Why?!" Concubine De's still beautiful face quickly formed a board, and her clear and pleasant voice became a little hard, "Now you are just using one sentence, and you are going to dissolve the preparation that I have spent three years on?" You'll have to give me a convincing reason, but I guess it's hard because you lied to me again three years ago! ”

Because of the growing anger of the affection, Concubine De even threw aside the self-proclaimed self-proclaimed two words that could improve her status, but always seemed a little cumbersome when she spoke, and used three "you" words in a row to Shi Jing. Although she could still sit upright in her chair, her restlessness had already been exposed between her words.

Shi Jing was not moved in the slightest by her anger, he just repeated what he had just said with a calm expression on his face: "What you are doing now must be stopped." ”

Concubine De finally couldn't sit still, she stood up from the round chair with two armrests, "Wow..." took three quick steps towards Shi Jing, stood still in front of him, and then stared at his eyes and shouted in a slightly sharp voice: "Didn't you say that it is enough to wait for another three years?" But what now? Do you want to change it again? Why do I have to listen to your words forever? ”

Shi Jing suddenly smiled. In the smile on his face at this moment, there was nothing warm in it, it was obviously full of mockery. However, with such a mocking smile, he didn't intend to show it to the woman in front of him for a long time.

When the mockery fades away. Shi Jing ignored Concubine De's questioning that was almost like a stone splitting her head and covering her face, but raised her eyebrows and asked: "What you just said, I lied to you three years ago, is that this three-year period?" ”

Concubine De couldn't guess Shi Jing's intention to ask such a rhetorical question. I vaguely felt that he was going to draw a circle for her to drill, so she didn't say anything more, but just asked in a hateful voice: "Isn't it?" ”

"Oh......" Shi Jing groaned, then he put his hands behind his back, took a few steps away from Concubine De's sight that almost wanted to see through him, and walked to the side, leaving only the side face to her. After a moment of silence, he spoke again and said slowly: "Then do you still remember what I said to you three years ago?" What else is there besides the word 'three years'? ”

Concubine De was slightly stunned when she heard this.

Three years, for an ordinary woman, life can be a little hard and tedious, so you have to forget something from your brain. to accept and remember new things. But for her, a royal "noblewoman" who lives in the palace, three years may be a thrilling life and death disaster, or it may be as bland as water, and she obviously belongs to the latter.

Living a noble life in the palace that often repeats the pattern and thus seems dull, many things do not need to be bothered, but it is also because of this, as long as there are a little waves. It will leave traces in the heart lake that are not easy to fade away.

Of course, Concubine De remembered every word she had said in that night conversation with Shi Jing three years ago, but she quickly came back to her senses and realized that this was still Shi Jing drawing circles, trying to use her own mouth to admit what he had said.

And of course she was not willing to listen to his "call" like this.

Concubine De recalled the night conversation with Shi Jing three years ago, when the atmosphere of conversation between the two was as tense as it is today, and it was very unharmonious. However, Shi Jing was in that unpleasant conversation. At least she was given a more accurate time limit, but ...... What is this conversation today?

Don't think about changing the time limit, she's been tricked by him a few times, and it's hard to trust her anymore.

Twelve years ago, Hayashi Shanshan left Kyoto with that little obstacle on his way. Shi Jing had the opportunity to order Xue Zhong, who was going to see him off, to kill him quickly.

If you do it at that time, not only can you easily solve two people at once, but you will also kill people in the suburbs hundreds of miles away from Beijing, and when you are on the emperor's side, you only need to say that they have been robbed and killed by mountain bandits, and you don't have to worry about leaving anything behind that will involve your own troubles - because in that time when the war had stopped for a while but the chaos had not been extinguished, the mountain bandits in the suburbs of Jianzhai were still very rampant.

However, Shi Jing did not agree to her proposal, and explained that he would at least wait for Lin Shan to hand over the artwork before he could choose the opportunity.

Five years later, this opportunity finally came, Shi Jing managed to intercept the four seasons pigeon flying back to Kyoto from that remote mountain village halfway, one step ahead of the emperor, read the short message, and learned that Lin Shan's drawing had been drawn to the end and was about to be completed. At the same time, one of the people Shi Jing had placed in the teaching of the masters of Lizheng Academy also began to prepare.

However, on the day when the artwork was completed, they learned that the artwork had been burned by the little impediment.

When the news was secretly sent back to Kyoto and reached the ears of the two of them, it was so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.

And the person who was installed in the Lizheng Academy got the news a little later, and he made a mistake in front of Lin Shan and revealed his martial arts, and a few days later, this person chose a reason to leave the academy, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be used again in the future.

Faced with such a breakthrough, Concubine De, who was far away in Kyoto, could only choose to wait a few more years.

Maybe this can be regarded as an alternative kind of "sincerity, gold and stone for opening", another five years have passed, and Providence has once again given him the best opportunity to assassinate. Compared to the five years of waiting, it is worth it for this opportunity.

For some reason, Lin Shan actually came back with the little evil obstacle that had grown the shadow of the slut.

He didn't have to go this trip himself, maybe he sent it to the door to find death himself! After nearly ten years of operation, in Kyoto, where public security is the most thorough, if Shi Jing wants to kill someone, it is not too difficult to do it cleanly.

Afraid of Lin Shan's swordsmanship, it is said that it is quite powerful, and when Concubine De arranged an ambush of people, she put a man who could almost ransack a village and town.

Just when Yiqiē was ready, and just when she gave an order, these killers would pounce and tear those two people apart. Sudden regeneration.

It turned out that Lin Shan didn't really bring a helper when he returned to Beijing, and a few days after he returned to the dilapidated courtyard, two men who looked like shadow guards appeared outside the courtyard. One of these two people looks very young, but they are also very strange. The other is in his twenties, and he looks very depressed, but he can vaguely distinguish that he is one of the two groups of double swallows that have been missing for many years.

At this juncture, this lonely swallow suddenly jumped out, but Concubine De didn't dare to underestimate him, for fear that the killer she raised would not know how powerful this person was, and she would drag herself down by exposing her horse's feet, so she had to be indignant and unwilling to recall all the killers who were ambushed outside the dilapidated yard for the time being.

However, although the providence has been tricked several times. But in the end, it seems to be leaning on his side.

After a few days of impatience, Concubine De received another piece of news that made her happy again. Lin Shan's refusal to contact the emperor after returning to Beijing was also fake, but his purpose in doing so was to poke Wandefu's hornet's nest for the emperor.

This honeycomb is pierced. The show can start the gong, and I'm not afraid of making a big noise.

Concubine De took all the information of Lin Shan in Beijing that she had mastered as a favor and gave it to the group of people who were sharpening knives at the back of the Wandefu family. Concubine De, who had done this, was still a little uneasy, so she moved out the group of killers she recalled a few days ago and mixed them with the group of killers who were ready to avenge Wan Defu and kill Lin Shan.

However, even in such a killing battle that was almost swept away, it still failed to give Lin Shan a fatal blow, and even the powerless little evil obstacle did not lose a single hair.

This qiē is all because. Shi Jing withdrew halfway again, not only did he withdraw the manpower he had thrown out on the spot, but he also tore the killing net that the group of people from the Wan family had managed to weave with a rake.

Afterwards, he sued her to wait another three years.

But now Shi Jing still wants to stop her!

How could she not be angry?!

Thinking back on these past failures, Concubine De's unwillingness and annoyance in her heart suddenly surged. She snorted coldly, and instead of following Shi Jingdi's guidance, she said differently: "Every time you want to stop me, you will make up a reason, so I just want to know what the new reason you brought today!" ”

"There is no new reason." Shi Jing suddenly turned around. Staring at Concubine De's eyes, he paused and said, "If you want me to give you a reason, then I can only repeat what I said to you three years ago." ”

When Concubine De heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head and "giggle". She let out such a fragmentary laugh in such a posture that it looked like something neurotic to look at.

After such a toss, she had indeed been aroused a little confused.

After laughing a little wryfully for a while, Concubine De turned to look at Shi Jing and asked, "Tell me, what are you?" Do you think I'll still believe your rhetoric that dragged me on year after year? ”

"You'll believe it." Shi Jing, whose eyes were slightly drooping, raised his head with a deep groan, "Unless you don't want to live through this year." ”

A hint of awe-inspiring flashed in Concubine De's eyes, and she didn't speak.

"If you don't want to admit it, then I'll do it for you and repeat it again." Shi Jing's groan just now, obviously he had made a draft in his stomach, and now he first intercepted Concubine De's anger with an alarmist word, and then slowly said the prepared rhetoric, "Maybe you still don't know why Lin Shan took that girl back to Beijing three years ago." This matter is full of contradictory logic, and I have been guessing and deliberating for a long time before I can figure out a few ideas.

First, he was ready to return the girl to His Majesty three years ago, but something went wrong with His Majesty's side;

Second, he knew that he would not be able to hand it over, and he would still throw it away, even if he might be confident enough that even if he was not in Kyoto and only left the girl, there would be no problems;

Thirdly, he had a reason to go around Kyoto before setting off, and on His Majesty's side, there was a mission that he had to lead and nothing could stop him, including the girl. So he left this burden in Kyoto, because without his care, the safest place in the world for that girl would be Kyoto, which was not ten miles away from his biological father. ”

After saying this long sentence, Concubine De's eyes were already covered with a layer of foggy complicated feelings, she seemed to want to use her own way of understanding to smooth out Shi Jing's words, but unexpectedly, her thoughts fell into chaos-

ps: Work hard and work hard, save a lot of manuscripts!!
