The corners of Jin Qi's mouth twitched slightly, although he felt that this reason was very unconvincing, but he still replied: "That's right." ”

"You also said that the aunt who committed suicide by throwing herself into the well was not your biological mother, and your biological mother, Princess Xiling, was when she gave birth to you...... Died of childbirth, right? Jiang Ying asked again.

After that, he was worried that Jin Qi would be sad because of this, and added: "After many years, it's all in the past." ”

Her clumsy way of asking made Jin Qi couldn't help but let out a sound that seemed to be a laugh but not a laugh.

He asked directly: "Don't beat around the bush, what exactly do you want to tell me?" Between you and me, why should this be? ”

Jiang Ying suddenly became embarrassed.

Is she so obvious?

She's really a person who doesn't hide herself from the people she likes.

But can you really ask this directly?

Meeting Jin Qi's gaze, she gritted her teeth slightly, put aside her worries, and asked directly: "Brother Jin, did the eldest princess really die in childbirth?"

This may be a bit of a scar.

But in the face of such a big truth, it should not be a reason to shut her up.

And Jin Qi, who suddenly heard her ask such a sentence, couldn't help but freeze the smile on his face.

He didn't expect Jiang Ying to ask him this question.

Seeing that her eyes were floating so badly, as if something was going to break out of the cage, Jin Qi didn't know what kind of feeling suddenly came up in his heart, and only replied: "When I returned to the Jin family in the last life, they told me like this. ”

"Then did Brother Jin investigate this matter in detail later?"

Now that you've opened your mouth, let's get to the bottom of it.

Jiang Ying thought so.

"In my previous life, I was convinced of this. I didn't think to investigate the matter in detail. ”

"That'...... What about this life? ”

"Did you notice something?" Jin Qi asked rhetorically.

Jiang Ying was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.

She was thinking about Ruo Jinqi asking again if she should say the real doubt in her heart, when she suddenly heard him say something that shocked her.

"You guessed it right."

Jiang Ying's originally wandering gaze suddenly fixed on his face.

Guess right?!

What is the meaning......

"My mother, she, died in childbirth. It was only after giving birth to me that someone secretly took me out of the Jin family, and deceived my father by deceiving the world, so that everyone thought that she died in childbirth - including my grandfather. When Jin Qi said this, his eyes suddenly became much colder: "It's fortunate that he hasn't known about it." ”

On the day he was born, because he had a pair of different eyes, he and his mother were destined to have no way to continue to survive in the Jin family.

At that time, Jin Qingyun's meaning should have been to let their mother and son die, right?

But then I thought that he might still have value that could be used in the future.

But what he didn't expect was. The second son he never looked at. secretly saved his mother's life from him, sent her to the palace, and used it as a bargaining chip and handle to exchange with Yin Ziyu to secretly obey him.

Jiang Ying was shocked by his words.

"I learned about this from him before I died in my previous life. But all this while, I don't know how to explain it to you. Jin Qi lowered his eyes. The voice seemed to suddenly bring Jiang Ying back to the time when she first met him. The whole person is full of an indescribable defensiveness and coldness.

Previous life. The Western Barbarians invaded Beijing, and Yin Ziyu, as the abandoned son of Jin Yuming, was slaughtered in the Jinluan Palace, and the queen's fate was even more terrifying. was actually ruined in the Jinluan Palace by the Second Khan King Yan Jin, and died of humiliation.

Rao didn't know anything at the time, and he still felt that it was too unbearable.

And when he learned her true identity from Jin Yuming before he died, the painful feeling almost overshadowed the horror of life passing in front of his eyes.

That's why he shot Yan Jinzhan in Suzhou City.

But the palace change in his previous life is still the past he dare not think about the most.

Jiang Ying even began to tremble slightly when she saw him, and her heart was shocked, although she didn't know how many painful pasts he didn't know in his previous life, but he suddenly realized that he really uncovered the scar in front of him that he didn't want to expose the most-

In the not very spacious carriage, she suddenly leaned over and hugged him tightly.

"Although I deliberately mentioned it, I didn't expect it to make you sad like this." Jiang Ying felt guilty, but what she said made her feel a little ridiculous.

Should it be said that it was not intended to be mentioned?

After a long time, Jin Qifang said in a low voice: "I don't blame you. ”

He was the last thing he wanted to think of at first glance, and because he was in front of her, he couldn't control himself well for a while.

"Although I don't know what happened to the Queen Mother in the previous life, but in this life, she still lives well in this world, this is the greatest gift from God, isn't it? Since everything in the previous life was so painful, let's treat it as a nightmare, and now that the nightmare wakes up, everything is still fine. She didn't know what she had said.

But what she feared most was to see him miserable.

Jin Qi, who listened to her words, felt completely different for a while.

It turned out that she knew the true identity of the Queen Mother.

That's why there was that cautious, afraid of poking his sore spots.

"Now the person who did the wrong thing has been retributed, and this life is completely different from the previous life, isn't it?" Jiang Ying was still comforting.

Jin Qi suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged her.

Yes, this life is already completely different.

The biggest difference is that there is such a silly and heart-warming little girl around me.

After being reborn, he always thought that what he wanted to do most was to take revenge, but when he heard the news of the death of Jin Yuming's father and son from Fu Ping, he was not as happy as he expected. He even felt that their deaths were not worth mentioning.

And what really made him so excited that he couldn't help himself, and even wanted to be grateful to God for treating him so kindly, was the moment when he and Fang Xinyuan found the Soul Separation Grass together.

It was then that he fully understood what it really meant to live again.

And the past that pressed deep in his heart and was the most reluctant to mention. But in her hurried comfort, she was suddenly relieved.

As she said, after a nightmare, everything was fine when she woke up.

For a long time, it was he who had been holding on tightly to this knot and unwilling to let go.

Jiang Ying seemed to feel his emotions softening down a little, and he was silent for a while, leaving him time to calm down slowly.

But she didn't wait too long, and Jin Qi opened her mouth.

However, opening his mouth is a word of apology.

"I'm sorry for being honest with you before. It's not that it's unhidden. ”

"Everybody has things they don't want to talk about. Didn't you just say it, you haven't figured out how to mention this to me? ”

Everyone has things they don't want to talk about.

"Do you have one?"

"Me? I didn't. Jiang Ying lifted her face from his arms and shook her head without thinking.

Jin Qi: "......"

Jiang Ying looked at him.

Brother Jin smiled?

"You......" Jin Qi's smile was full of helplessness.

……

Jiang Ying, who was sent back to Elm Hutong by Jin Qi, was restless when she didn't go anymore.

Her vision was confirmed. And unexpectedly got a truth that was far from expected.

Brother Jin actually knew the true identity of the Queen Mother from the beginning.

But as he said later. He was a man in two lives. He had never had any experience as a child, and because there were too many past events involved between mother and son, he didn't know how to face this mother who had not seen him since he was born.

Therefore after being born again. All he did was secretly remove the source of all the terrible things that could happen for her.

Jiang Ying felt that this matter really couldn't be rushed, let alone forced.

It's not just Brother Jin, but I'm afraid that the Queen Mother's hesitation in her heart is even deeper.

Brother Jin knew that she was his biological mother, so how could she not know that he was her biological son.

But neither of the two took the initiative to say it.

She is not the other party, so she can't wishfully speculate about the Queen Mother's true thoughts, whether it is because of her current identity or something else.

And what she can do is unclear at the moment.

Now that it's settled, there's no rush to do it, just wait and see.

……

After a whole day of busy outside, Jin Qi, who first returned to the Jin State Mansion, could not return to his own courtyard, so a subordinate who had been guarding the door of his courtyard early greeted him, and after saluting respectfully, he said: "The second son is back, and he should be tired of running around outside all day, right?" Hurry in to relieve your fatigue, the master is still waiting to see you in the outer study. ”

It has been four days since Jin Qi returned to Beijing, and he has been busy going in and out all day, but he has not yet met Jin Qingyun, who can't leave his yard.

He didn't go to ask for peace because he felt that things had come to this point, and there was no need to do any superficial work.

That doesn't mean anything to either of them.

Jin Qingyun never took the initiative to meet him, and as for what kind of mind he had, Jin Qi didn't have time to speculate.

But now that he wants to see himself, he has no reason to avoid it.

When Jin got up and went to the outer study, Jin Qingyun had already fallen asleep on the Luohan bed covered with a blanket, Jin Qi stood outside waiting for the servant to go in and pass the word, and faintly heard the servant's voice waking him up.

When he entered, Jin Qingyun had already sat up, but the backbone on his back was not as straight as before.

The hair tied up on the top of his head was also completely white and slightly messy.

"Sit down."

Xu had just woken up, and his voice sounded very hoarse.

"In the past few days since I came back, I have worked hard for you. Grandfather is old, and he is no longer useful. After Jin Qi sat down, Jin Qingyun said in a low voice.

Jin Qi looked at the old man sitting there cross-legged with a blanket on his lap, and when he heard his words, he felt very strange for a while.

Is this really the unscrupulous and cold-hearted Jin Qingyun, the head of the Jin family?

"I asked you to come here tonight because I wanted to tell you something." Jin Qingyun didn't go around the bend, but before he spoke, he couldn't stop coughing for a while.

The old servant patted him on the back, glanced at Jin Qi who was sitting there, sighed without a trace, and retreated at the behest of Jin Qingyun.

"I'm too old to do anything. Grandfather knows that you are a capable man, more capable than your father and your second uncle. Jin Qingyun's eyes revealed an indescribable silence, "What you want is all fought for with your own hands, even if I was young, it can't compare to you now." ”

He couldn't remember when he was willing to sacrifice innocent people in order to strengthen his position and achieve his goals.

In the past, he thought that it was a big thing and that it was the survival of the fittest, which was a matter of course.

believes that some people are born with a noble life and want to be the Lord of the world, while some people are born humble and can only be ants.

But now he realized that those were just excuses he had made for his filth and unworthiness.

"Grandfather will feel the same way." Jin Qi finally spoke up.

It seems that in this life, not only has the situation reversed, but even people's hearts have changed greatly.

Even Jin Qingyun, who never thinks he is wrong, will have such a state of mind and confess to others.

Jin Qingyun smiled and sighed for a long time, as if he wanted to use this breath to spit out all the turbidity in his chest.

In the end, he said: "This Jin family will be handed over to you in the future." ”

Jin Qi was slightly stunned.

He could tell whether Jin Qingyun was compromising or willing.

He turned out to be the latter.

"I think you can take care of it better than anyone else."

Jin Qi did not speak.

Jin Qingyun coughed again, and this coughing sound was especially striking in the silent study.

"Grandson farewell." Jin Qi didn't want to say more, and stood up.

It seems that Jin Qingyun didn't intend to tell him the truth, even though both of them knew it.

As people get older, they become more afraid.

Jin Qingyun didn't stop him, he leaned over and turned his head to watch Jin Qi walk out step by step.

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Jin Qingyun coughed again and again, and his originally pale face turned bloody because of this.

"And then—"

He didn't know if he was shouting Jin Qi or talking to himself, and his voice was a little out of breath because of coughing.

"If you hate me, hate me. But grandfather only hopes that you will be like you in the future, even if you have hatred in your heart, you can still move your heart......" he said intermittently, and at last his voice was so low that it was inaudible.

Maybe I think it's sad and ironic to say it by myself.

Jin Qi listened to it word for word.

Seeing Jin Qingyun's remorseful appearance, just like the moment he heard the news of Jin Yuming's death, he was not as happy as he imagined.

I just feel like the dust is finally settled.

As Jiang Ying said, he had woken up from the nightmare.

Jin Qi looked up at the starry sky, and seemed to be able to clearly perceive all kinds of knots in his heart, and his chest was unprecedentedly open.

In this life, I live very well.

It was surprisingly good.
