And Qiao Niannian didn't turn around, but just like just now, she continued to face the lake and said, "I want to know the scene at that time, can you tell me about it?" ”

Perhaps, when she decided to come with him, she had already broken through the line of defense in her heart.

These days, she has been entangled in that relationship, and it can be said that she has been running away from that relationship. But that's the case, during the time from the prince's mansion to this side, she thought a lot, and was finally defeated by the emotions in her heart.

He is the person she should rely on when she came to this dynasty.

Gong Zhijin's face changed slightly, and he knew what Qiao Niannian meant by these words. If Qiao Niannian can really accept him, then it must be a good thing.

But he didn't want to reveal the deep scars in his heart to her.

Seeing that Gongzhijin didn't reply, Qiao Niannian turned around, and what shocked her heart was the brightness in the corners of Gongzhijin's eyes.

"I'm sorry."

Never said this, Qiao Niannian lowered his head slightly, thinking of walking towards the horse and continuing to hurry. However, as soon as he walked past Gong Zhijin, he grabbed her hand and held her in his arms.

After being silent for a while, Gong Zhijin's eyes that had just closed opened up.

"At that time, I was only eight years old. My mother and I were on our way to Yangzhou to help my father survey the people. ”

Speaking of this, Gongzhi Jin paused, if it weren't for his mother's heart for the world and her deep love for his father, then what would not have happened at that time.

And Qiao Niannian also understood that the first queen was famous for her kindness in the entire Great Yan Kingdom, so it was common sense to be able to do this behavior. As for why Gong Zhijin would go with her, it was because he was still young, and he would be hurt from all sides in the palace, and the first queen was not at ease, so she took it with her so that she could take care of it.

"My mother and I are disguised as a very ordinary mother and son, and my father has kept this matter a secret and has not told anyone. So in general, no one will know that we are out of the palace.

As soon as we entered the inn and put down our things, we went to investigate the people's situation, and when we returned, the food on the table had already been poisoned. I wasn't very alert at the time, so I didn't notice anyone coming in, and I wasn't very sensitive to toxicity, so I ......"

Speaking of this, Gong Zhijin held Qiao Niannian's hand and lowered it slightly. And Qiao Niannian just moved his body closer to him slightly, and also hugged him with both hands.

This action made Gongzhi Jin's extremely sad emotions eased a little. He has never personally told anyone about it, and he has never shown this appearance to others.

Even when he faced his father later, he didn't show a sense of cowardice and helplessness.

"But at that time, your mother was a healer who was proficient in all kinds of medical techniques, and she was treating an official in Yangzhou, and she happened to be eating downstairs in that inn. Luckily, the innkeeper happened to come in and wanted to ask about something, so he saw the scene of our poisoning, so he immediately went outside to ask if he knew how to heal, and your mother immediately came up and took out the medicine box with me, and removed the toxins from my body. And the mother, because of the lack of treatment time, ......"

The sadness hidden in the depths of Gong Zhijin's eyes made him unable to control his tone at all. As soon as these words came out, Qiao Niannian felt his emotions. This emotion has been hidden for a long time.

After his toxin was completely removed, he began to do everything he could to practice martial arts, in order to strengthen his abilities and avenge his mother. In addition to practicing martial arts, it is to eat and rest. But many times, in order to consolidate his studies, he will also give up some sleep time.

And it is because of this strength that he has become an opponent on the battlefield that the enemy fears. His ability surpasses everyone in this Great Yan Country, even if it is the current emperor, Gong Zhihao, compared to him, it is much inferior.

And Gong Zhijin, because he was the child of the former queen, he had already been designated as the crown prince by the former emperor. Coupled with his unique ability, the whole country unanimously agreed to make him the crown prince. However, because Gongzhijin wanted to avenge his mother and wanted to find out the person who killed his mother, he did not agree.

For more than ten years, he has been looking for clues, but every time he finds a trace of connection, he finally breaks off. And in the past few years, there have been people who assassinate him, but no matter what, he will not give up.

"Empress Xian must have asked my mother to save you first."

Qiao Niannian patted Gong Zhijin lightly on the back a few times, she didn't know how to comfort people, but at this moment she didn't want Gong Zhijin to be so sad.

Gong Zhijin let go of Qiao Niannian, and then nodded. He was silent for a while, calmed his emotions a little, and then said to Qiao Niannian very seriously and affectionately: "So, her daughter, I must protect it." ”

Hearing this, Qiao Niannian only pursed her lips. Although she felt that she didn't need to be protected, looking at him, she felt that it was not a bad thing to be protected by someone like this.

"I'm proficient in all poisons, and if you need my help, then I won't hesitate."

Qiao Niannian stared at his eyes, which were still slightly sad, and said with half comfort and half promise. And Gong Zhijin, after hearing this, the sadness just now disappeared, and with some smiles, he stepped forward again and hugged her into his arms.

"I know you have me in your heart. I'm lucky to have you. ”

Qiao Niannian also smiled slightly, she had never been so relieved.

And after arriving in Ran Kingdom, Gong Zhijin and Qiao Niannian found the Ding Yin Inn together, and Yan Wujian was only slightly shocked when he saw them coming together, but he also walked directly towards them.

"Lord, princess. Come here with the villain. ”

After saluting them, Yan Wujian observed his surroundings again, and then walked upstairs. And Gongzhijin and them also went with him.

After arriving at a room, Yan Wujian took out a purse from his arms, put it on the table, and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Lord Wang, the villain has been identified. What is on this table should be the relics of the former queen. ”

Because he knew that if the prince didn't want the princess to know about it, it would be impossible to bring her over, so he told the matter directly.

When Gong Zhijin saw the pattern on this purse, he had the answer in his heart. This is the mother's relic, and this pattern is the only one she can embroider. Moreover, he also clearly remembered that when he went to Yangzhou, his mother carried this purse.

"Where did it come from?"

Hearing Gong Zhijin's inquiry, Yan Wujian told him the process of finding this purse.

This was discovered at an auction, and he didn't take the purse seriously, but when he saw the pattern, he was a little confused. Because of this pattern, after all, only the people of the Great Yan Kingdom know about it.

So after that, he bought the purse.

After identification, he unexpectedly found that it was the former queen's belongings. So he immediately contacted Gong Zhijin, because after all, it was sold, so it would inevitably be passed out, and if it reached the ears of the last person, then this purse might not be able to exist now.

And he also looked for the auctioneer, and the man said that this purse was only found by accident, because it was an item from the Great Yan Kingdom, so he sold it.

After hearing these things, Gongzhijin pondered. It seems that what the man said should be true, but this is also a relatively important clue.

However, when the villain was identifying whether this purse was the item of the first queen, he accidentally found that someone knew this purse. He's here now, are you going to call him over? ”

After Yan Wujian finished talking about the purse, he told Gongzhi Jin about the windfall. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to let Gong Zhijin come over in person.

"Call here."

After Gong Zhijin said this, he sat down on the side. And Yan Wuji, after receiving the instructions, he walked towards the door.

"You go behind the screen."

Because this room has a screen, and behind the screen, there is a study. And the reason why Gong Zhijin said this was because she didn't want many people to see Qiao Niannian, otherwise, she would be in other dangers.

And Qiao Niannian also knew what he meant, so he nodded his head and walked towards the back of the screen. When she reached the little study, she sat down in her chair and listened to the voices beside her.

The man quickly came in. And as soon as he entered, he knelt down, because he knew that in front of him was the most feared Yan King of the Great Yan Kingdom.

"Tell me everything you know."

Yan Wujian on the side said very seriously to the man. And that person, after receiving the instructions, swallowed his saliva, calmed down, and sank slightly towards Gongzhi Jin.

"This purse was not in the hands of the auctioneer at first. Actually, at the beginning, I picked it up first. "Settle down, because Gong Zhijin's momentum is very strong, although he himself is not lying, but he also trembles his lips, and his speech is a little unfavorable.

"That purse fell from a man's body, I wanted to call him to stop, but because he walked so fast, I couldn't catch up with him at all."

So I took the purse away. However, I don't know why, one time when I went to look for the purse, it was gone, maybe it was dropped when I went out. ”

After the man finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were very dense and fell from time to time.

"What does that person you see?"

didn't care how he lost it, what Gong Zhijin cared about was just the person who dropped his purse first. So he looked at the man and asked the question in his mind.

The man looked very embarrassed. Because after all, this is only a meeting, and no one can care so much about a stranger.

But now he is facing the prince of the Great Yan Kingdom, so he has to carefully recall the situation at that time.

"That's right! He seemed to have one finger missing. ”

Suddenly remembering this, the man said very excitedly, because this characteristic is very obvious, so he must not be wrong.

"And looking at it like that, it shouldn't be a person from Ran Country. I've seen him look like him, and if you give me some time, I should be able to draw him. ”

Because he had just remembered the stranger's finger, the man was able to think of that person's face. Because he has seen a few people with few fingers in his life, and this time has not passed for a long time, so the appearance of that person should be able to remember.

"Okay, no defect, you take him down. In the next few days you will go to the man, and if you find him, report it to me. ”

When Gong Zhijin heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he did not eliminate the sense of indifference. So, he waved his hand at them, and Yan Wujian immediately understood, grabbed the man's arm, and took him down.
