On the carriage, Nalan Jinxiu hadn't recovered from the fear just now, and the whole person leaned on Ji Hongye's arms and didn't say a word.

Ji Hongye patted her and asked softly: "There is still a long way to go, do you want to sleep for a while, I will call you when I arrive." ”

Nalan Jinxiu shook her head: "I can't sleep." ”

Ji Hongye knew that she was scared, so he planned to tell her the ins and outs of the matter. She understood what was at stake, and maybe she wouldn't be so afraid.

"You said before that you saw those eunuchs kill a guard, this is the secret of the palace. What you have seen is your sin. ”

Nalan Jinxiu raised his cheeks in his arms, frowned and asked, "What is the matter, do you have to kill someone?"

"I'm not sure about this yet, but it must have something to do with Xiangguo. ”

Nalan Jinxiu had thought of it before, if the same sect Xuanyi was not closed, he would not make a move. But since he already knew that she had seen it, why didn't he want to hide it, but came out like this again, didn't it make the finger point at him even more?

Ji Hongye seemed to know her inner thoughts, and explained: "What he meant just now was to warn me, hoping that you would bury this matter in your heart." ”

"Then he, why didn't he kill me?"

He thought, but it wasn't easy to do. Moreover, the risk is also something he cannot afford. ”

"He's worried about you. ”

"Yes. Ji Hongye didn't have a bit of arrogance when he answered, he was still very calm and gentle.

Nalan Jinxiu finally let go, she is not only worried about herself now, but also worried about the third brother. Now that he has the ability to protect himself, he must not have any more accidents. He is a rich and noble person, and he will be the first assistant of the cabinet in the future, and he can't give birth to right and wrong because of her.

"Then the third brother is not going to investigate this matter again?"

"Of course you have to look it up. ”

"Isn't this a head-on conflict with Xiangguo?"

Ji Hongye smiled, feeling that she was still simple-minded, where can the relationship between people like them be clear in a few words? He hugged her and said slowly: "You said before that the guard who was killed was surnamed Rong, right?"

"Yes, I heard them call him a guard. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this Rong guard should be the old friend of Concubine Liu. ”

Nalan Jinxiu has no good impression of this woman in her heart, if she is hated and afraid of Zong Xuanyi, then she hates Liu Guifei to the core. Because this person witnessed himself in his previous life, being used, deceived, hurt, and discarded......

Today, when she saw that she was still bright and beautiful, graceful and luxurious, she thought of her scorpion-like behavior. She poisoned herself at the beginning, but she didn't feel guilty, she hooked up with her husband, but she was still able to pamper the harem. In this world, where is the word fairness?

"What's wrong?" Ji Hongye asked in a low voice when he saw that her expression was wrong.

Nalan Jinxiu came back to his senses and said lightly: "I just want to have chaos in the palace, and I hope things are not what I think." ”

"What do you think?"

"The third brother actually said that Guard Rong is the old man of Concubine Liu, so now that he has been killed in the palace, I think it is probably related to Concubine Liu. ”

"Go on. ”

"This may be Gong Yu Mixin, he must have known something he shouldn't know, so he was killed. ”

"I also know a piece of gossip, that is, Rong Guards love Concubine Liu. ”

Nalan Jinxiu saw that he was still that indifferent and calm appearance, and the words he said were like gossip from the women in the house. She was stunned for a while, but she didn't understand the meaning of his words, and when she came back to her senses, the more she thought about it, the more incredible she felt.

Zong Xuanyi and Liu Guifei have a secret relationship, which is an indisputable fact. She also thought about it, with Zong Xuanyi's domineering character, how could she allow her woman to serve the king in Israel? The answer is probably that he doesn't like Liu Guifei much, anyway, compared to power, it is insignificant and can be sacrificed at will.

If Rong Weiwei is also a lover with Concubine Liu, then it is logical for Zong Xuanyi to take his life. When I thought that I almost died in the palace today, it was because of Zong Xuanyi, and the hatred in my heart was a little more.

"What comes to mind?"

"I thought about it, but I thought it was incredible. ”

Ji Hongye knew that she had guessed ten by looking at her appearance, and reached out and touched her head: "People's hearts are far dirtier than we think." ”

"The palace law is strict, are they really so unscrupulous?"

Ji Hongye suddenly laughed, lowered his head and said to her, "How many concubines are there in the saint, do you know?"

"Dozens?"

"There are one hundred and two people on the register, and there are some who are not from enough background to be registered. ”

More than a hundred! Nalan Jinxiu's eyes widened, she couldn't imagine what a harem would be like if a man had so many women. Those aunts in the backyard of the Ji Mansion are already very uneasy, and it is no wonder that the harem will fight endlessly.

"So women's jealousy is still terrible. ”

"A man's greed is also terrible. ”

Ji Hongye chuckled: "You don't suffer." ”

"But isn't it, if you don't love beauty and want to use women's nepotism to balance the court, how can you let so many women get together and give birth to these endless fights?"

"There is some truth in what you say, but they can live their own lives, so why bother?"

"People are not willing to be ordinary, they must want to fight. Don't say it's in the palace, it's just an ordinary family, and there are fewer wives and concubines fighting together?"

Ji Hongye nodded and came to a firm conclusion: "So, in the final analysis, it's still jealousy." ”

"It's greed. ”

"The man didn't let them fight, but he wanted them to be safe. ”

"I really want them to be safe, so I shouldn't marry them back home. Marrying back so many women, there are more monks and less porridge, it is inevitable to fight, this is human nature. "Nalan Jinxiu has long forgotten that the fear of witnessing murder just now is righteous.

"Then what do you think should be done?

"Legislation should be enacted, neither rich nor poor, nor can it be ......"

Nalan Jinxiu suddenly paused when she said this, what she wanted to say was that men are not allowed to take concubines, monogamy, and live in harmony, so naturally there will be no fighting. But she also felt that this was unrealistic, and this kind of remark violated women's morality, and also committed one of the seven rules: jealousy.

Ji Hongye raised his eyebrows and looked at her, with a smile in his eyes: "Hmm, why didn't you say it?"

Nalan Jinxiu looked gloomy, knowing that he was deliberately teasing her, so she turned her cheeks to the side and didn't look at him.

"Since Madame has no opinion on the matter of taking concubines, it is better to be a husband......"

"What are you going to do?" she turned her head to look at him, staring at him with dark eyes, and her mouth pursed, as if she was really angry.

"Didn't do much. ”

"Then you say also, what's behind it?"

"Yes, I don't take concubines. The smile in Ji Hongye's eyes deepened.

"You ......" Nalan Jinxiu knew that he was being tricked, so he beat him with his hands, and said angrily: "You know how to entertain me." ”

Ji Hongye shook her murderous hand, hugged her good-naturedly, and said softly: "I didn't entertain you, these are all heartfelt words." ”

Nalan Jinxiu still ignored him, turned his cheeks to the side, and his little temperament was about to go to the sky. Ji Hongye was not angry, he held her and shook her gently, and occasionally pecked her face, and his temper was so good that he couldn't do it.

Nalan Jinxiu was shaken out of his sleepiness, gradually closed his eyes in his arms, and muttered before going to bed: "If you take a concubine, I will cry to death......"

Ji Hongye hugged her and let her pill on his lap, looked at her dotingly, smiled when he heard the words, lowered his head and pecked her lips, and shook his head helplessly. He said that he was just trying to divert her attention from the fact that she would stop thinking about witnessing the killing.

In fact, where did he have the heart to take a concubine? With only this one, he couldn't take care of it, and if there was one more, what else would he do? Besides, there was only one of his Ah Jin in this world, and this was the only one.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't sleep well, first dreamed that someone was drowning, then she was entangled by poisonous snakes, and finally someone was holding a bright knife, the tip of which was stained with blood, and was chasing her.

In the dream, she was the same as in her previous life, she ran forward with all her might, and the wind was whistling in her ears. Until she couldn't run anymore, she turned around and found that the person carrying the knife was Zong Xuanyi, and he was standing behind her. He swung his knife and was about to slash at her, but she closed her eyes......

"Don't!" she sat up suddenly, her heart beating wildly because she was so anxious, she gasped uncomfortably, and was carried into her arms.

"Don't be afraid, it's a dream. Ji Hongye patted her, and his voice was hoarse that he hadn't woken up.

Nalan Jinxiu opened her eyes and saw that she was wearing her bedclothes, and she had just fallen asleep on the couch in the bedroom. The candle flame in the lamp cabinet was dimly lit, and it seemed that it was almost dawn, and it turned out that she had slept from the carriage until now.

It was a dream again, a nightmare.

She let out a long breath, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around the necks of the people around her, and lay quietly for a while, feeling thirsty again, so she muttered: "I want water." ”

Ji Hongye put her away, went to get the teapot on the small table, poured out a cup of warm water, and handed it to her lips. She took a few sips from his hand, shook her head and said no, and lay back under the covers.

Ji Hongye put the teapot and cup away, and when he came back and saw her curled up in his place, he had to move her inside, and lay down next to her. As soon as he lay down, her hand came over and rested right on his face, and he frowned and straightened her. As soon as he put his hands down, his feet came over again, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he kicked him twice.

Ji Hongye's eyes narrowed, if the first time was unintentional, then this time it must be deliberate. She has always been well-behaved in her sleep, and she doesn't like to move, and this prank is a bit too obvious.

He pretended not to care, deliberately slowed his breathing, and remained motionless, as if asleep. Then I saw that she first opened one eye, then opened the other, and saw that he was staring at her, and subconsciously stepped back......
