The early summer sun spilled wantonly into the room with the open door, and the man standing behind Yang Rui slowly raised his head and smiled at Ning Yutong.

Tsing Yi was like ink, with a hint of untemperate coldness, but his smile was as hot as the sun, mixed with the dazzling sunlight, which made Ning Yutong in a trance.

After a moment of stunnedness, Ning Yutong came back to his senses and smiled gently at the two people at the door: "Since you're here, come and sit!" Yan Huan, go down. ”

"Yes."

Yan Huan on the side obediently retreated, and did not forget to cover the door when he left.

"She's a nice girl."

Yang Rui stared at Yan Huan's distant back, squinted his eyes and involuntarily whispered.

"Don't beat her up, she's mine."

Ning Yutong looked at Yang Rui with some tears and laughter, and his tone was surprisingly serious.

"Hmm."

Yang Rui shrugged: "Okay, since Niangniang has spoken, I must give this face." However, I suddenly have some urgency to urinate, so it's okay to go out and ask her for directions, right? ”

Before the words fell, Yang Rui had already turned around and left quickly.

This guy.

Ning Yutong shook his head helplessly, and his gaze slowly fell on the other person on the side-

Ren Jingzhi.

"Long time no see."

Ye Ziqi looked at Shangning Yutong and spoke softly, and his voice was still as crisp and beautiful as before.

"Well, it's been a long time."

Ning Yutong nodded slightly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say again.

The two people in the room were all silent, Ning Yutong couldn't help but look elsewhere, while Ye Ziqi kept looking at Ning Yutong's face quietly.

"I heard Yang Rui say that there have been a lot of things in your Yanwang Mansion recently."

After being silent for a long time, Ye Ziqi suddenly spoke again, his voice was very soft, and his eyes involuntarily fell on the desk not far away, where there were many palace internal affairs accounts scattered.

"yes."

Ning Yutong sighed: "The recent great cadres have been upright and eventful, and the same is true of the Yanwang Mansion. ”

"It's hard, isn't it?"

Ye Ziqi involuntarily took a step forward, and his voice was slightly low.

Is it hard?

Ning Yutong didn't answer, just smiled faintly.

"You can barely do it for a while, but you can't force it for a lifetime."

Ye Ziqi's tone suddenly became heavier, and hearing his words, Ning Yutong raised his head sharply and met Ye Ziqi's clear and gentle eyes.

"Ren Jingzhi's ......"

She wanted to say something, but was eagerly interrupted by Ye Ziqi.

"Call me the sub-period, Ye Zi period."

Since his mother left, he is no longer Ren Jingzhi and no longer has anything to do with Daqian.

"Sub-period?"

Ning Yutong glanced at Ye Ziqi deeply, as if he had seen through the weakness and pain behind his pretend calm, Ning Yutong couldn't help but sigh lightly: "You said I was reluctant, what about you?" Aren't you trying to force yourself? ”

Nine times out of ten, things that are unsatisfactory in the world.

And all we can do is to be at peace with what happens.

Hearing Ning Yutong's words, Ye Ziqi slowly raised his hand, and gently pressed his hands on Ning Yutong's shoulders: "Yutong, my mother, is dead." ”

What the?

Ning Yutong was stunned, and the next moment, Ye Ziqi had already leaned down and hugged Ning Yutong, who was sitting on the main seat: "I hate her so much, but I love her so much, when she left, I didn't have time to look at her again, just lost it like this, can you understand that taste?" ”

In front of everyone, he is the Fourth Highness who is angry and unscrupulous.

Only in front of her would he let go of all pretenses-

Reluctantly?

In fact, everyone has their own choice, and the so-called reluctance is nothing but self-deception.

If the mind is unwilling, who can force it?

Ning Yutong, your heart is in the Yanwang Mansion, so you reluctantly stay here.

And I, reluctantly become a ruthless person, just because I have never been a good man and a woman......

Ye Ziqi involuntarily tightened his arms and hugged Ning Yutong in his arms.

There is no going back to those pasts.

Those that used to remain only in memory.

"Child ......"

Ning Yutong was held by Ye Ziqi and was out of breath, his body still had a faint fragrance of grass, but his breath was mixed with a hint of chill that made Ning Yutong feel dangerous.

"Yutong, come with me."

The sadness on Ye Ziqi's face dissipated, and a touch of complexity flashed across his face.

His tone was low, low. Even with a hint of trill.

Ning Yutong struggled for a moment, broke free from Ye Ziqi's embrace, stood up and looked at him fixedly: "Don't be kidding, where can I go?" ”

"Leave the Yanwang Mansion and leave Daqian."

Ye Ziqi looked at Ning Yutong deeply: "I don't force you to be with me, but I can help you get out of here and start a new life." ”

"A new life?"

Ning Yutong shook his head slightly: "I'm fine now, really." ”

She once thought about having a new life, but fate made her bow her head again and again, and now her life is peaceful, right?

Ning Yutong knew that his life in this life did not belong to him.

She is responsible for the atonement of the entire Ning family.

How could she just walk away?

The Ning family is here, and she is here. If the Ning family dies, she will die.

As if seeing the determination in her eyes, Ye Ziqi smiled bitterly: "I understand your intentions, I hope that when we meet again, you will change your mind." ”

See you again......

A touch of gloom flashed in Ye Ziqi's eyes.

I wish you hadn't hated me back then......

Coming out of the Jinchun Garden of Yanwang Mansion, Ye Ziqi still followed behind Yang Rui, and the two of them got into the carriage of Jing'an Hou Mansion together, Yang Rui sat on the side of the car, and as soon as he entered the carriage, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.

A long sword, coldly resting in front of Ye Ziqi.

"Yang Rui, what are you doing?"

Ye Ziqi was very calm, and looked at the person holding the sword, who was the person sent by Jing'an Hou to protect Yang Rui.

"You should know what I want to do."

Yang Rui raised his eyes and looked at Ye Ziqi, the two were childhood friends and cherished each other.

No one knows Yezi period better than Yang Rui.

"Are you going to kill me?"

Ye Ziqi asked lightly, and there was still a warm smile on her delicate face.

"I'm not killing you, I just want you to leave. I don't want to be your enemy. ”

Yang Rui's tone was filled with a hint of sighing, and a pair of slender eyes were also precipitated with a different kind of complexity.

"Da Qian and Lin Ye may eventually fight, but not now, so I don't want to be your enemy now, and I can't watch you do those things under my nose. So, you get the idea. ”

Yang Rui raised his face and showed his signature smile at Ye Ziqi.

What are those things?

What do you want to do when you return to Daqian?

In fact, Yang Rui is not sure, but he can be sure that Ye Ziqi will not come back to Daqian for no reason, he must have something to do, and those things are definitely very important to Daqian......

"Well, you win."

Ye Ziqi pursed his lips slightly, and leaned towards the wall of the carriage as if resigned, Yang Rui made a look, and his personal guard immediately put away his long sword, and raised his hand to drape Ye Ziqi's neck, and at this moment, an accident suddenly appeared-

Ye Ziqi's gentle and clear eyes suddenly became cold and sharp, his body shook, Yang Rui only felt a flower in front of him, and when he could see clearly again, Yang Rui found that the personal guard he brought was actually knocked unconscious by Ye Ziqi.

This......

Yang Rui's eyes flashed: "You, recovered?" ”

"It's okay."

Ye Ziqi moved his wrist: "I haven't practiced a lot recently. ”

"Damn!"

Yang Rui couldn't help but scold, he just ignored this point!

"Okay, now it seems, I have the upper hand?"

Ye Ziqi looked at Yang Rui, still smiling quietly.

"It doesn't matter."

Yang Rui leaned into the carriage with a single person: "Just do what you like, this may be the will of God." ”

Providence?

Ye Ziqi was silent, and the carriage slowly marched all the way to the gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and Ye Ziqi was the first to jump out of the car and disappeared on the street in an instant.

Where will he go?

Who will he meet? What to do?

Yang Rui didn't get out of the car, but thought about something alone, and unconsciously fell into a daze......

It's night, on King Wen's mansion-

"His Royal Highness King Wen, it's been a long time."

Ye Ziqi sat in a reception room in the backyard of King Wen's mansion, smiling frankly and facing Qin Jinting, who had some flashing eyes.

"Is that you?"

Regarding the affairs of the fourth highness of Linye, Qin Jinting naturally knew about it, although Qin Jinting had no contact with the third son of the Ren family before, but at least he knew about the existence of this person, and he also knew some of his stories.

It's just that Qin Jinting was surprised that this Ye Ziqi would come directly to the door.

"Fourth Highness!"

Qin Jinting's mind turned sharply, and his gaze at Ye Ziqi was still gentle and elegant: "The Fourth Highness came late at night, I don't know what to do?" ”

The purpose of Ye Ziqi's trip is by no means simple, and even Qin Jinting already has a vague expectation -

After all, Ye Ziqi is the son of his aunt, and his aunt used to love him the most.

Moreover, Ye Ziqi likes Ning Yutong, but now Ning Yutong is Qin Jinlin's side concubine.

Qin Jinting knew all this, but at this moment, he was still quiet, wanting to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Yezi period.

Seeing that Qin Jinting was still so cautious, Ye Ziqi picked up the teacup on the side and calmly took a sip of tea: "Ziqi came late at night today, so naturally he wanted to discuss something with His Royal Highness King Wen. ”

Slowly putting down the teacup, Ye Ziqi slowly raised his eyes, looked at Qin Jinting's elegant and handsome face, and then spoke slowly again: "I want to ask the prince to do me a favor." ”

"Oh?"

When Qin Jinting heard Ye Ziqi's words, his body moved imperceptibly, and then he smiled and whispered: "I don't know what His Royal Highness wants this king to help you do?" If it is unfavorable to the great Qian, this king will not do it. ”

"This matter, for you, the prince, and even for the entire Daqian Dynasty, will benefit and do no harm."

Ye Zi looked at Qin Jinting fixedly, and suddenly lowered his voice-

"His Royal Highness King Wen, do you know the secret of King Yan?"

Qin Jinlin's secret!

Qin Jinting's face has always pretended to be calm, and when Ye Ziqi's voice did not fall, it had already changed again and again......
