Chapter 130: Things Are Not People (4)
After Ah Hai went for a while, he replied to Jian Ning with an embarrassed face: "Princess, Prince Yan sent someone to say that there is a difference between men and women, and it is getting late, I am afraid that it will attract criticism for the princess, so please go back for the time being, and talk about it tomorrow." β
It's getting late, is there a difference between men and women? Why didn't he see him as thoughtful as he thought just now?
"Ah Hai, you go and talk to the person who passed the word just now, and ask him to bring a message to Prince Yan. Just say, 'Things are still the same, people are no longer the same, back then, think about yourself.' After Jian Ning finished speaking, a trace of coldness appeared in her eyes, and she lowered the curtain without hesitation.
After Ah Hai came back, Jian Ning directly asked him to drive to the small inn where he and Jiu'er had stayed temporarily for the past two days.
Ah Hai didn't know what the princess and Prince Yan said on the cruise ship, but he could obviously feel that something big must have happened between the princess and Prince Yan, and Prince Yan was obviously deliberately avoiding the princess.
After returning to the inn, Jian Ning directly pulled Jiu'er over, forced her eyes and asked, "Did you already know that Xiahou Yan was the original Fengyang?" β
On the way back, Jian Ning almost figured it out. Xiahou Yan was the Feng Yang who was by his side at the beginning, otherwise he would never have that silver hairpin.
In fact, it can be regarded as being too careless, Zijin had told himself before that Xiahou Yan's personal guard was called Feng Yang, and he asked him to pay more attention. But at that time, I had just arrived on this continent,+ and I always thought it was just a coincidence. Now that I think about it, I was too naΓ―ve, how could there be such a coincidence in this world.
In careful recollection, there were a few times before when I stayed with Xiahou Yan. I always felt that he had a sense of familiarity, and I always thought it was strange at the time, but now it suddenly became clear.
However, Jian Ning also has something that she can't figure out, that is, Xiahou Yan is a prince, why did he spend that kind of thought to be a subordinate in the first place? This is absolutely not in line with his identity and character.
"Sister, how do you know? Could it be that he sued you? But it doesn't look like you like this" Jiu'er was a little afraid of Jian Ning's eyes, and her body shrank unconsciously.
"So you do." A nameless fire suddenly rose in Jian Ning's heart, the last thing she could accept in her life was deception, but why did the guard she trusted so much at the beginning turn out to be a person who didn't exist at all? and Jiu'er, who has been trying to protect himself. And even hide it from yourself?
"How long did you help him hide from me? Is that fun? Jian Ning finally couldn't help but say angrily.
"Sister. Don't get angry just yet, just listen to me slowly, okay? Jiu'er comforted Jian Ning and asked her to sit on the edge of the bed, while she moved a small stool over. Sitting across from her.
"Sister. I've only known about it for a short time. At the beginning, Xiahou Yan came to Xiaoyao Valley to tell me that the person in the palace was fake. Not you. I didn't believe it at the time, and he told me about it in order to prove what he said. β
Jiu'er thought back to the time when she was on the lake pavilion in Xiaoyao Valley. When he saw Xiahou Yan after the disguise, the shock in his heart was no less than that of Jian Ning. It's just that she is different from Jian Ning in that she is just surprised, and she doesn't have such a strong reaction to being deceived.
"He wanted me to keep it a secret for him. I didn't think he would do you any harm, so I agreed. Jiu'er said this, looked at Jian Ning, and said, "Sister, in fact, you should also know in your heart that in addition to deceiving you, Xiahou Yan has not only never done anything to hurt you, but also helped you everywhere, isn't it?" β
"But so what? Would that be a reason for him to lie to me, and make me forgive him and accept the unwarranted identity that he used to be by my side to protect me? Jian Ning's tone still did not change in the slightest, cold and decisive.
Jiu'er frowned when she heard this, and finally said to Jian Ning sternly for the first time: "Sister, you keep saying that you can't accept others to lie to you, but you are not lying to Long Zeye and everyone now." You've clearly recovered your memories, but you're still wearing the mask of Princess Binglan. You didn't admit your identity to Long Zeye, isn't this a kind of deception? β
Jian Ning's heart suddenly seemed to be hit hard by something, and the whole person stiffened there, and she didn't speak for a long time.
"I'm tired, let me be quiet for a while." In the end, Jian Ning leaned weakly on the head of the bed and said lightly.
"Sister, in fact, what you are angry about is not that Xiahou Yan deceived you, but that you are afraid that you will never be as ruthless to him as ever in the future, and one day you will not be able to refuse him. Because in your heart, you always have a different feeling about the original Fengyang. You are afraid that you will have to choose between him and Long Zeye in the future. Jiu'er left, but her words echoed in Jian Ning's ears over and over again.
Jian Ning reluctantly recalled every bit of her previous experience in Yangxin County with everyone, and she still remembered it so clearly, but everything had changed. In just over two years, looking back, I feel like a world away.
I lay on the bed all night, and I thought about it all night, although I didn't rest, but at this moment, Jian Ning's mind was much clearer. Many things have become history that cannot be changed, and I have no power to control it, let alone change it, but the only thing I can control is myself. It is up to you to decide how to choose and how to go after that.
I just changed my clothes and finished washing, but I saw Jiu'er with a calm face, and hurriedly came in and said, "Oh no, something is wrong." β
"What's going on? Could it be that something happened to Xiahou Leling? Jian Ning rarely saw such a strict Jiu'er, and she already had a faint uneasiness in her heart.
"I received news early this morning, the news that Xiahou Leling was poisoned and killed spread throughout the Dongshang Kingdom overnight, and now the Dongshang Emperor is furious, urgently summoning Xiahou Yan to return to China, and threatening that if Yuan Chu cannot give a satisfactory answer within three days, Dongshang will crush the 300,000 army." Jiu'er Dao.
When Jian Ning heard this, she stood up in disbelief, and said in surprise: "How can this be?" This incident only happened at noon yesterday, and not many people knew about it, so how could it spread so quickly throughout the entire Dongshang? β
"The only person I can think of who can do this in such a short period of time is Wu Shi." Jiu'er said in a deep voice.
"Wu Shi? How is this possible? He is a descendant of the Wu clan, and it is impossible for him to provoke a war. Besides, if Dongshang and Yuan Chu really went to war, it would be even more difficult for Xiahou Leling's 'corpse' to get back. He couldn't have done that. Jian Ning thought of what Wu Shi had said before, and immediately denied it.
Jian Ning's heart began to think about all the people who might know about this matter, Ah Ye in the palace would definitely find a way to block the news, so it shouldn't be someone in the palace.
There is only Xiahou Yan left, but after last night's incident, Xiahou Yan may not have the energy and time to plan this matter. The most important thing is that with Xiahou Yan's cleverness, he should know that it is not beneficial for Dongshang to start a war at this time. And he is now in Yuan Chu, once the war arises, he is very likely to be charged by Yuan Chu as a hostage. (To be continued......) R1292
