It was only now that Cheng Jingxi felt that he was a useless waste material, all he could do was wait for the words, waiting for Ye Huaiyu to really be as he said, the current look is indeed because he is too tired, and he will be fine after resting.

The sky gradually brightened, Cheng Jingxi spread her coat on the ground, sat on the ground with Ye Huaiyu and talked, and after a while, she was dizzy and sore and fell down, her eyes closed unconsciously, her voice gradually weakened, and her breathing slowly became even.

Ye Huaiyu lowered his head and looked at her for a long time, sighed lowly, reached out and gently grabbed her, and let his head rest on his lap.

She was exhausted along the way.

Cheng Jingxi dreamed that she was standing on the edge of the cliff, but she blindly walked forward without fear, as if something was leading her and dragging her, unaware that the danger was quietly approaching.

Just as she stepped off the cliff, she suddenly woke up from her dream, and saw Ye Huaiyu hanging down and looking at her eyes with a little worry, she felt a little trance, her mind was still confused, and her heart was beating unusually fast.

It took her a moment to realize that she had just fallen asleep.

"What time is it?"

"It's almost noon," Ye Huaiyu looked at the sun that was about to reach overhead, and asked her, "Have a nightmare?" ”

"Well, I dreamed that I jumped off a cliff by myself," Cheng Jingxi rubbed her sore shoulder, "I actually slept for so long?" ”

"It's normal to stay up all night," he looked at her, "do you want to rest a little longer?" ”

"No, you don't."

Ye Huaiyu led the horse over, and Cheng Jingxi observed his face and asked, "What about you?" Feeling better? ”

"Don't worry, I'm really fine."

"This horse is also listless, I can't bear to ride it."

Ye Huaiyu smiled at her and said, "It's not dark yet, let's take a walk." ”

"It's fine."

With Ye Huaiyu here, Cheng Jingxi doesn't have to worry about going in the wrong direction, he is like a living map, in the wilderness, he can still distinguish the direction so clearly.

Cheng Jingxi's spirit relaxed, and the interest in chatting followed.

In such a comfortable and undisturbed environment, it is extremely easy to expose the unspeakable buried in the heart. He confessed his heart to her that day, and although she was happy in her heart, there was still too much uncertainty.

Anyway, there's nothing else to do for the time being, so it's a good time to take it out and talk about it.

"Ye Huaiyu, what were you thinking when you first saw me?"

The smile on the corner of Ye Huaiyu's mouth suddenly stiffened a little, raised one side of the eyebrows and glanced at her secretly, seeing that she looked as usual as if she didn't mean to settle accounts with him, she coughed softly and replied: "I was a little drunk that day, I don't remember much......"

Cheng Jingxi smiled, and her smile melted away all the words behind Ye Huaiyu, she looked at him with a flirtatious look, and said very generously: "I'll tell you for you!" ”

Ye Huaiyu's heart was in shock, and he felt a little pain in the wound on his chest.

"I didn't believe in the word "love for a long time," she said, "but you always hated to give me a word all the time, and you always intended to make me remember it in my heart and in my bones." ”

Ye Huaiyu's smile was not so thick, and he looked at her with heavy eyes.

"I've lived with you for a year, so no matter what kind of word it is, it's hard to understand, I will memorize it in my heart, even if I can't really understand the meaning, but I really can't forget it," Cheng Jingxi's mouth tugged slightly, and suddenly the words changed and asked him, "Ye Huaiyu, what do you love about me?" ”

"I don't know." He replied very sincerely.

Cheng Jingxi felt that she was quite satisfied with this answer.

If he really said some so-called reasons, then his love for her has a defined limit, if she doesn't follow the path he likes once, then it is likely to get his disgust, and then affect the relationship between the two, and even have a result that she is even more unwilling to face.

"Ye Huaiyu, everyone in the world is attractive, and you are no exception, but why do you have such affection for me? Isn't that inconsistent? ”

"Beauty and ugliness are in people's hearts, Jingxi, you love to read the stories in the book so much, haven't you seen the 'Xi Shi in the eyes of lovers' that was written in it?"

Cheng Jingxi was stunned, this is indeed commonplace, but she has never extended it to herself.

Although she is the first princess of Jokhang, she is also the first princess of Jokhang with inferiority, which is also so contradictory.

She has never expected to be loved by anyone, and before she met Ye Huaiyu, she had never been so-called possessive of anything.

Xie Wanyan's appearance made her suddenly recognize herself, it turned out that unconsciously, she also had people and things that she couldn't give up in this life, even if this person and thing didn't have any feelings for her at all, she wanted to just occupy it, she couldn't get it, and it was good to take it out from time to time.

But this person and thing suddenly told her one day that his feelings for her were the same as she had for him, or even more than that, it was like a person suddenly saying to her, Cheng Jingxi, you are really a rare and truly stunning beauty in this world, you are the only peerless beauty left in this world.

It's exciting, it's unbelievable.

"You always say I'm ugly, but you do think I'm ugly in your heart, right?"

Ye Huaiyu nodded honestly again, "That's right." ”

Cheng Jingxi smiled, "Then you are really pitiful." ”

"I like it."

"Aren't you afraid that others will chew your tongue behind your back?"

"Don't be afraid."

"Ye Huaiyu, you are not only pitiful, but also a strange person."

The poor and strange man smiled when he heard the words and said: "Poor and strange I like you who are ugly and inferior, Jingxi, don't you think we are the most compatible pair in the world?" He looked at her slightly drooping eyebrows, and said, "I know what you mean, listen, no matter how much you degrade and slander yourself, it will not be a reason for me to retreat, I have already made up my mind, and I will not be shaken by your uncertainty." ”

It's useless what you say, I just like you.

You're the one with a blue-faced, fanged face, and you're still the one I like.

So just say it, I don't listen anyway.

Cheng Jingxi didn't speak for a long time.

For the first time, she spread out her heart under the sun, and for the first time, she spoke unreservedly about the humility and embarrassment hidden in the depths, the gradual temptation, and the cautious approach, but what she got was not ruthlessly trampled, but the exchange of cherished and valued hearts.

The rare tacit understanding makes people want to hold it in the palm of their hands forever and not let go.

The drooping eyebrows slowly began to rise again, she looked at him, and the excitement in her eyes seemed to overflow, "Ye Huaiyu, you are not only pitiful and strange, you are also very stubborn!" ”

Ye Huaiyu took her hand and tightened her fingers.

When the sun was setting in the west, the two of them finally came to a place where there were people, it was a very small town, but fortunately there was still a small inn.

Cheng Jingxi smelled the aroma of wine and food wafting from the inn, and her hungry stomach couldn't help but grunt twice.

Ye Huaiyu found the horse dealer in the town, and skillfully exchanged the two horses for a lot of silver, and then led Cheng Jingxi to the inn to ask for an upper room, a large bucket of bath water, and a table of wine and food.

"I can't imagine that those two horses can come in handy here."

Ye Huaiyu served her vegetables, and when she heard this, she said, "I have already calculated it in my heart." ”

"Why don't you tell me?" Cheng Jingxi raised her eyebrows, "I thought I had to go back all the way back." ”

"It's just a plan, if I told you in advance, but I can't realize it here, wouldn't it disappoint you even more?" Speaking of this, Ye Huaiyu asked her, "Are you surprised?" ”

Cheng Jingxi nodded very cooperatively and replied to him, "Well, it's a surprise, you don't have to ask for food!" ”

There was no surprise in the tone.

"It's about half a day's carriage ride from Shangjing," Ye Huaiyu said, "and we'll stay here tonight, and we'll find a carriage tomorrow morning, and we'll be home at noon." ”

Cheng Jingxi's eating action was paused, and the speed of chewing slowed down.

At the same time, the Marshal's Mansion in Beijing.

It was already a little late, Ru Niang took the two children to sleep first, Ye Huaixin stood in the courtyard for a while, and suddenly a dark shadow jumped in from the courtyard wall.

The black shadow walked straight towards Ye Huaixin, and when he got closer, he hugged his fists and said, "My lord, the news that my subordinates got at noon today, there was no one left in that group, and they were all dead." ”

"All dead?" Ye Huaixin's expression didn't fluctuate much, and when he heard this, he asked, "Including those two?" ”

The black shadow shook his head, "No, the subordinates are incompetent, and they haven't been found." ”

Ye Huaixin was silent in thought.

There was no distress call at home, and there were no people who died, so where are they at the moment?

"What about the murderer?"

"I don't know, but it is said that he died of poisoning," said the dark shadow, "the source of the poison is in the kitchen." ”

Ye Huaixin was silent again and didn't say a word for a long time.

"My lord, will we be exposed?"

Ye Huaixin stared at him, and the latter immediately shut up.

"You go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and help me bring a message over." Ye Huaixin said, whispering something in the black shadow's ear.

The black shadow was ordered to leave immediately, and his movements were very light.

As soon as he walked with his front foot, the back foot of the courtyard door opened, and Ye Huaijin walked in wearing a black cloak, with a slight sarcastic smile on his face, and asked straight to the point: "Didn't you say that this time it was foolproof?" It's not like he slipped away! ”

"People haven't come back yet, so what do you do with making up your mind so early?"

Ye Huaijin's eyebrows were slightly cold, "Just looking at your expression, I know that you are forcing a smile, big brother, it's time to come, don't pretend in front of your younger brother, you can't fool you." ”

Ye Huaixin's face was suddenly wrapped in a layer of gloom, "Don't give me an afterthought here!" After a pause, he said, "How are you doing over there?" ”

"She wanted to grab my handle, so I gave it to the others, anyway, they are all dispensable, and it won't hurt her to play with it."

"Don't be careless!"

"Don't worry, it's just a woman, how powerful can it be?"

Ye Huaixin glanced at him quietly, and suddenly felt a little impetuous.
