Fortunately, in the end, Ji Hongye only saw confusion in Nalan Jinxiu's eyes, and a trace of relief. His already sharp heart suddenly sank.

"I'm sorry. He looked at her, and spoke clearly, speaking slowly, as if he was afraid that she would not hear clearly, that he would miss a word.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't expect the third brother to apologize to her solemnly. Although, she also knew that his previous words were excessive, and even made her feel sad, but she didn't want him to apologize, she just wanted the two of them to make it clear.

Ji Hongye saw her frozen in place, strode over and hugged her tightly in his arms. In the past, he often hugged her like this, but now Nalan Jinxiu didn't want him to hold it. Because then she couldn't talk to him properly, let alone explain clearly.

But he did not allow her to struggle, but quietly protected her on his chest, put her closest to his heart, and then said to her very solemnly: "I regret saying that to you." You probably don't know it, but I've never regretted anything in my life, and this is the only time. ”

"I don't want to hear it. She turned her face to the side in disgust, knowing that it didn't work, but she still wanted to do it.

"You have to listen. Her voice was gentle, but her tone was unmistakable.

"I won't listen!" Nalan Jinxiu's voice was obviously impatient, revealing a sense of stubbornness and willfulness.

"Be nice......"

Ji Hongye's voice was a little weak, Nalan Jinxiu suddenly stopped struggling, she admitted that the third brother was like this, she had no way at all.

Ji Hongye closed his eyes and quietly felt her in his arms, his heart finally settled down, and he gradually stopped being afraid. Ah Jin, if you can't wake up today, my life will be ruined. The moment I held you, I really felt like I was going to go with you, and I couldn't accept that you would leave me, that you would go somewhere I couldn't reach.

People say that the words "live and die together" are easy to write but difficult to do, but I feel that for you and me, I probably want to be with you. He didn't say these thoughts in his heart, and he was prepared to never let her know.

Nalan Jinxiu listened to the third brother's heartbeat, closed her eyes, she felt that she was finished, and she was completely hopeless. Originally, she was still hesitating, and there were so many considerations, but now, she wanted to nest in his arms like this and be an ostrich. She didn't want to think about all the problems, she wanted to rely on the third brother completely, even if it was dangerous, she still wanted to.

"I'm a normal person, and there are times when I feel very weak. When you reject me and guard against me, my emotions will become very sharp, don't you understand?" Ji Hongye said this, which can not be said to be serious.

Nalan Jinxiu naturally knew what he meant, she always knew that the third brother was very keen, so in front of him, she didn't dare to think about the past, for fear that he would see the clues and become suspicious. She has always felt that she has relied on him, and the kind of defense that was born in her heart was also hidden by her seamlessly, and I don't know when he discovered it.

She suddenly felt a little weak, but after thinking about it, she felt that who had no secrets? She felt that there could be no one in this world who completely dissected herself to others. She suddenly became reasonable, looked into his eyes and said, "Didn't the third brother guard against me?"

"Nope. ”

He was very calm, not like he was lying at all, but Nalan Jinxiu still replied very firmly: "I don't believe it." ”

"Then you can give it a try. ”

"How do you try this?"

"Try whatever you think I'm going to do to defend you. ”

Nalan Jinxiu thought about it carefully, she has always been close to the third brother, if the third brother wants to guard against her, it should be a matter of the court. So, she asked what she thought was excessive: "Is the third brother ambitious?"

"Ambition, what do you mean?"

"Rights, do you yearn for rights, will you do anything for this?"

Ji Hongye has always been a very introspective person, he knows exactly what he wants, but it is the first time someone has asked him so bluntly. The reason why no one asked before was because he hid it so well that no one could spy on his thoughts. Now, even if someone finds out, they don't dare to ask.

"Of course, I yearn for it, but I don't do anything about it. He replied calmly, and in front of her, he felt that he had no need to hide. Because she is not her political enemy, and she will be with him through thick and thin in the future, as long as she wants to know something, if she asks, he will definitely know everything.

It is impossible for anyone who enters the office not to yearn for power, and only with power can he get what he wants. He wants the court to be clear, wants Daning to be prosperous, and wants the people to live in peace. And these ideas of his can be done by those who are in charge of life and death, which can not be said to be an ambition, and it can even be said to be the biggest ambition in the whole world.

"Won't you do anything?" Nalan Jinxiu asked, thought for a while, and then said: "Although I am a woman and have never entered the office, I can imagine the things in the court. That is an extremely dangerous thing, and if everyone has a pure heart, how can it be called a struggle for power and profit?"

"To fight is to fight, and to win must be to be taken. But there are things that a gentleman can do and something that he does not, and there are things that can be used and some things that cannot. ”

"Was the third brother's consideration of the marriage in your calculations?"

"No. ”

Nalan Jinxiu looked straight into his eyes, and the look clearly said that she didn't believe it, and she asked sharply: "Since you are not here, why do you agree to marry the ninth princess?"

Ji Hongye sighed lowly, knowing that this matter was unbearable in her heart. He was silent for a while, but decided to tell her everything he thought in his heart: "I was afraid that I would disobey the holy will and affect the Zhenbei Palace, and I was even more afraid that I would bring you death." ”

For this reason, Nalan Jinxiu has also guessed some. When she was in her last life, she knew that Zong Xuanyi regarded Zhenbei Wangfu as a thorn in her side and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. And the saint of the Ninety-Five Emperor must also be afraid of a feudal official like the King of Zhenbei. But she never thought that Xu Jinsheng was the county lord, would anyone really dare to kill her?

"The easiest and most straightforward way to hinder a marriage is to kill someone. Of course, this is the next step, because as long as you make a move, it will be impossible to erase all the marks, and if someone who touches the vine finds out, it will fall short. Zhenbei Wangfu has the Xuanjia Army, which is a strength that everyone is afraid of, if something happens to you in Jinling City, your uncle will not give up, so they don't dare to make a move on you. But as the saying goes, rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, and if they are forced to a certain point, they will inevitably fight back, and it must be a very crazy counterattack. ”

The affairs of the court were far dirtier than she imagined, and Ji Hongye didn't want to say more to her, but seeing that she was suspicious, he had to say it in order to show his heart. In fact, it's good to let her know this, but he was too protective of her before, but it made each other estranged.

When Nalan Jinxiu heard him say this, she was a little scared in her heart. Not because of anything else, but because of her current identity, it is destined to be impossible to clear up the relationship with the Zhenbei Palace. Moreover, the third brother is also in the center of this whirlpool, and she can't escape no matter what.

Since you can't escape, you can only overcome it. Maybe the future will be stormy, maybe she will always be in fear, but if the third brother is really willing to be with her, then there is nothing to be afraid of. What she feared in her heart was that no one was with her on this dangerous road, and after the previous life, she was also afraid of someone.

"Will the third brother use me one day? If one day the Zhenbei Wangfu withers, will the third brother leave me behind in order to draw a clear line?" Nalan Jinxiu needs his personal promise, maybe many people feel that the promise is useless, because it can be reversed, and it can not be counted. But she just thinks that the third brother's promise must not be just talk.

"No, I'll do my best to protect what you're going to protect. Ji Hongye gently rubbed the top of her head and said softly: "Ah Jin, don't say to leave, I won't agree, understand?"

Nalan Jinxiu looked up at him, seeing that his eyes were soft, she didn't speak, but her heart had already softened.

Ji Hongye originally wanted to talk to her well and resolutely express his attitude. But seeing that she was looking at herself stupidly, as if she was distracted, he couldn't hold it anymore, lowered his head and pecked her forehead, and his voice became softer: "I have apologized to you, and I have answered your questions truthfully, you can't be angry anymore." ”

Look, this is the attitude of coaxing, and I still speak to her in a commanding tone. Nalan Jinxiu was not convinced, so she looked up at him and said, "Third brother, do you really think you are wrong?"

"Nope. ”

"Then your apology is not sincere. ”

"It's sincere. ”

Seeing that she still looked unconvinced, Ji Hongye had no choice but to explain patiently: "It's true that I mind, I'm angry, but I regret venting such emotions to you, especially if something happened to you, so the apology is naturally sincere." ”

Nalan Jinxiu knew that the third brother looked very good at talking on the surface, but in fact, he was very strong in his bones, and now that he was in power, this strength became more and more obvious. It was not easy for him to say such a thing, and she was not pretentious to that extent, so he had to change his way to coax him.

But there is still something awkward in my heart, I don't understand when I became so easy to speak, how the third brother can dispel her idea of leaving. You must know that it was not easy to make this decision, she struggled and suffered for a long time, and it took her energy and feelings......
