Chapter 180: Meeting in the middle of the night
At this time, the night is longer than the day, and the palace at the time of Yin is the time when the night is thick, empty and lonely, and even the palace maid on duty at night is already drowsy, but Meili's eyes are black and shining.
She rolled over and got out of bed, and without lighting the lamp, she walked east by the dim moonlight. This is where she grew up, and every trail is very familiar, so it didn't take much effort to touch the place.
It's just that the scope of this east wall is very large, and when she was hesitating whether to go to the left or right, a big hand covered her mouth, and then someone pinched her throat and said, "Meili, don't be afraid, it's me." ”
When Mei Li heard this, she immediately turned around and hugged this person tightly, suppressed her voice and began to sobbed lowly, "Lian Jing, you are here, I ...... I'm so happy......"
In just one sentence, Lian Jing's heart had softened into mud, and the chaos completely forgot the purpose of his coming here, and it wasn't until the person in his arms shivered that he realized that this was not the place where children and daughters grew up.
He gently stroked the tense back and coaxed: "Meili, don't cry, okay, I came today to ask you a lot of questions, this is not a place to talk all the time, we have limited time." ”
Mei Li finally raised her head, she pulled Lian Jing into a rockery all around, and then let go of her voice and said: "This place is remote, and there will not be a few people passing by during the day, the guards are in the outer courtyard, we can talk for a while." ”
"I haven't asked you yet, when did you practice such a good skill, how could you make this little bird so obedient, but it ran into my hands?"
Lian Jing smiled lightly, "Where is my ability, it is obviously my luck." I scattered one hundred and eighty such birds, and only one of them hit your hands, which can be regarded as a painstaking effort. ”
That's how it is...... Mei Li was stunned for a moment, and then corrected with a smile: "It's obviously my luck that I was able to meet the stupid you and the stupid bird." After speaking, he gently tapped Lian Jing's nose with his fingers.
Looking at the smiling woman, for the first time in her life, she was scolded and sweetened to the heart, Lian Jing's smile deepened, and even the cold cave became warm.
When Mei Li saw it, she felt a little emotional, it turned out that it was so easy to make a person happy, but some people were more willing to go to great lengths just to see you cry.
Thinking of this, her mood suddenly dropped, Lian Jing immediately smiled, and asked urgently, "Meili, are you unhappy?" Why? ”
"By the way, I also came to ask you, why are there so many guards outside your palace all of a sudden? What's going on? Even if you make a mistake, you are the queen mother's favorite daughter, she won't do this? ”
A series of questions finally forced the tears out of his eyes, the tears fell silently, but it was even more distressing, in this cold and biting night, Lian Jingsheng was in a hot sweat.
He persuaded left and right for a long time, and Mei Li said intermittently, "I...... I...... I don't want to marry the Sixth Prince of Nanyao...... Queen mother...... The queen mother locked me up......"
Lian Jing was taken aback, he had a mistake a few days ago, and he didn't expect that such a big event would be set in just a few days!
But his heart quickly sank again, what the Queen Mother did was a normal thing, could she still wait to give him a little guard to marry? Hehe...... Where would he be so blessed......
After swallowing his saliva with difficulty, Lian Jing gently soothed: "Meili, although I don't know what the six princes are, but since the Queen Mother carefully chose for you, it shouldn't be much worse." You are a golden branch and jade leaf, and only the princes and grandsons of a country can match you, and this marriage is excellent. ”
"Bastard!" Miri suddenly became furious, "Even you think so?" Isn't it all my heart eaten by dogs! ”
"Why would I disagree, don't you understand? Don't you understand why I disobey my mother? Why am I being locked up here, don't you understand?!!! ”
"Okay, since you want to pretend to be confused, I'll tell you plainly, it's all because of you, it's all because of you!! No matter how good the six princes are, it's not you!! ”
"Do you understand this time?!!!
Lian Jing didn't just understand, he was already shocked beyond measure. From Nanqian to Northern Qin, from a prince to a small guard, he hoped all the way but never dared to have extravagant hopes, until now he just wanted to be able to silently protect her, and his remaining wishes were enough. But what did he hear? Meili refused to marry for him? Mei Li actually took him so seriously!
Great joy mixed with heartache, and he didn't know how to respond to this deep affection.
"Miri...... I ......"
Lian Jing was speechless, but Mei Li calmed down, she grabbed the big hands, her eyes were clear, and her words were sincere, "Lian Jing, you are not allowed to say anything that is worthy or not." Have you forgotten? You also have royal blood flowing in your body, and compared to the Southern Emperor, what you are missing is only a name, so he is the king of a country, and you can't even have a name? ”
"I have never felt that you are inferior to others, on the contrary, in my heart, you are a real man who stands up to the sky, if you want to succeed, who can stop you?"
"Can you come up with such a wonderful plan to contact me without relying on entering this palace on an errand, Wen Taowu has everything, where are you worse than the Southern Emperor? If you are willing, no matter where you are, you can spread your wings and fly thousands of miles! ”
"I don't want to marry someone else, I want to wait for you, and wait until the day you become famous, and the scenery will marry me."
"Lian Jing, will you?"
A heart seems to be blown up, stuffed in the chest and bulging, but it is extremely full. Lian Jing looked at those expectant eyes and nodded involuntarily. Good Chinese
Mei Li was happy again, she threw herself into Lian Jing's arms and smiled, "Then you go and kill the six princes, okay?" ”
Lian Jing slammed up, this and this......
Mei Li noticed Lian Jing's hesitation, her face changed suddenly, she looked up at the flustered eyes and asked, "Do you want to or you can't?!" ”
Killing people is a big deal, not to mention the prince of a country, women can blurt out recklessly, but men think more.
But right now, women don't allow men to think.
Mei Li put Lian Jing's hand on her lower abdomen, and said softly: "She's still there, I can't bear to take her away, how can I marry someone else?" ”
The blood rushed to Lian Jing's head at once, he looked at Mei Li in disbelief, got a light nod, and for a moment, there was no more concern.
"Meili, you can't marry someone else, I swear by Lian Jing here, I will definitely live up to you!"

North Luo Ziji Temple
————————————
Since the war four years ago, Beiluo and Beiqin have not had any deep contacts, even at the meeting in Xiangcheng, it was only a polite greeting in etiquette.
Therefore, when a letter of state from Northern Qin was sent to the desk, Zhan Nian's heart first muttered, what kind of small action is this Northern Qin going to do, and he also begged to meet the empress?
Jin Yan saw that Zhan Nian was distracted, so he pulled back the national letter, and by the way, he patted his head lightly and reminded: "Hey! ”
"Do you see?! What does this mean, as far as you can see? ”
Zhan Nian immediately came back to his senses, and said: "Four years ago, Beiqin provoked a border trade dispute, which was inseparable from my Beiluo. Later, the Southern Qian entered the war, under the attack from both sides, the Northern Qin was defeated, and the country fell into chaos, and the Empress Dowager Qin took the opportunity to rise and support the little emperor Jingkang to ascend to the throne, and controlled the government for many years, and the power was monstrous. You've already heard about these Ayan, so I won't go into details. ”
"But there's one thing that many people don't know."
"This war is not only cited as a national vendetta, but also a personal vendetta."
Zhan Nian glanced at Jin Yan and saw that she was listening carefully, so she continued to say slowly: "The Empress Dowager of Northern Qin's son died in this battle......
"I slew him off ...... horse"
Jin Yan's eyes blinked, and he suddenly spoke, "You have this ability, why do you want to enter the palace and be attached to me all your life, isn't it buried?" ”
Zhan Nian's eyes also blinked, "I kind of regret throwing away the antidote, do you have to review the love words I have said to you in the past three years?" ”
With a "snap", another "bone-turning palm" slapped on Zhan Nian's head, "You are embarrassed to mention the antidote!" ”
Jin Yan was angry, "If you can't find the Yun Chinese Medicine Practitioner and can't get the antidote back for me, you don't want to come back!" ”
Because he was too excited, Jin Yan's face was slightly red, and it was easy to remind people of bright cherries, so even if it was an angry face, it was extremely cute in Zhan Nian's eyes. He actually understands Ying Qi's desperate gamble, and he also understands his hysteria, if he can keep her by his side all the time, even if he is noisy every day, he will be happy.
He couldn't help but grab the little hand, and the pool of water in his eyes became clear, and if you looked closely, there seemed to be several golden koi jumping into it. Seeing that Jin Yan didn't pull back, a smile gradually appeared on the corners of his originally tight lips, extremely shallow and light, as if he was deliberately patient, and seemed to be excited and indescribable.
"Ayan, I'll take the antidote to heart, before that, if you don't understand anything, just ask me."
Zhan Nian said as he quietly narrowed the distance between the two of them again, and in order to keep this little hand in his palm longer, he began to constantly attract Jinyan's attention.
"Ayan, let's continue to talk about Northern Qin......"
"However, we still have to start with the Empress Dowager of Northern Qin, the process is a bit complicated, it may take me a long time to finish, you have a little patience, after all, this is a grievance between the two countries, it is better to be cautious."
"What do you say?"
