Regarding what Ji Ning said about Zhu Chuhe's situation, Zhao Yuanrong didn't seem willing to pay attention to it, she shook her head, as if she didn't want to listen to it anymore.

"No matter who the real power of the Restoration Army is now, but the leader behind the scenes of the Restoration Army, Yongyun is Qin Yuanyuan, I'm afraid this is the person you want to protect, right?" Zhao Yuanrong also had some disappointment on his face, and said, "Ji Ning, you should understand that there are many things that will conflict, not only because of your own choice, but also because this world is impossible to be perfect, if you just want to protect one person, you will inevitably hurt others, don't you even understand this truth?" ”

Zhao Yuanrong looked at Ji Ning, there was expectation in his eyes, but there was also disappointment, when the two of them faced each other, even Ji Ning himself didn't know what to say.

Finally, in the end, Ji Ning sighed and said: "Forget it, everything is just a passing cloud, what do you want, I won't stop you, I will only do it according to my own ideas, and I don't want to get your support, but if anyone wants to hurt the people around me, I will never allow it!" ”

"So, you just want to fight me to the end?" Zhao Yuanrong said sharply.

Ji Ning stood up, walked to the window, shook his head a little helplessly, and said: "Whatever you say, at least for now, I don't want to pose any threat to your imperial power, in my opinion, you can have today, not the result of my help, but the result of your own efforts, if others want to hurt you, I will still protect you, but I can't expect me to get your support now......"

Zhao Yuanrong also stood up and said, "So, you still have to protect Qin Yuanyuan, right?" ”

"The matter of the Restoration Army, I will solve it properly, Zhang Hua, you can use it if you like, and if you don't like it, you can kill him, this person is just an abandoned son of the Restoration Army, if I can completely solve the problem of the Restoration Army, there will be no current trouble, even you understand this, so ...... We will still have many contradictions! In the end, Ji Ning was already a little unbearable, and sighed, "It's futile to talk about this now, let's not meet and communicate again, if there is anything, contact by letter, I think it will be better!" ”

"What, you're not even interested in talking to me anymore?" Zhao Yuanrong looked a little disappointed and said.

"It's not what you think, I think that when we meet and talk, there will always be some emotional factors mixed in it, and we can't be fair and objective, so why don't we communicate in a different way? Now the matter of the Restoration Army, the matter of the fifth prince and the eldest princess, has become the biggest obstacle on the road to your throne, if it can be solved, your throne will be stable, and I don't need to do anything more to you in the future! ”

After Ji Ning finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the door, "I hope you can figure it out, there is actually no need to talk in a compromise way between us, if you have to treat me as an enemy afterwards, then I will accept it, it's a big deal that I won't care about the affairs of the court from now on, and I can just part ways with you!" ”

Zhao Yuanrong looked at the backs of Ji Ning and Shangguan Wan'er, and for a while she had mixed feelings, she didn't know how to face such a Ji Ning.

She thought to herself: "Maybe Ji Ning is right, instead of being embarrassed after meeting, it is better to never see each other again." ”

……

……

After Ji Ning left from the courtyard with Shangguan Wan'er, he walked far away, and Ji Ning didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

Shangguan Wan'er asked, "Why, do you think that there are too many contradictions between you and the new emperor to solve, so you won't solve them?" ”

"The problem of feelings has always been very complicated, and now you also know what the relationship between me and the new emperor is, right?" Ji Ning looked back at Shangguan Wan'er and asked.

Shangguan Wan'er said with some apologies on her face: "Actually, I have felt it a long time ago, you can help the new emperor ascend to the throne, the new emperor still trusts you so much, obviously the relationship between you is not ordinary, but now I always feel that ...... The new emperor has a lot to say, but you don't seem to want to hear it at all. ”

"What you have to do now is not to help her speak at all, the contradiction between us, it is not who did anything wrong, no one is wrong, but just because of the problem of identity and position, you have to make such a confrontational posture, don't you understand, in fact, the current new emperor is also waiting for an opportunity to completely eradicate the problem of the Restoration Army, and even eradicate a person like me who poses a threat to the imperial power?" Ji Ning asked.

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and said, "I don't think the new emperor has the meaning of rabbit and dead dog, why do you think the new emperor is so bad?" ”

"That's because people in high positions must have the courage to cook rabbits and dogs, not only to those enemies, but also those in power, but also to be ruthless to the people around them, only in this way can you become a qualified emperor, if the new emperor's attitude towards me can be deflected, in my opinion, it is a perfunctory, maybe the contradiction between me and her, from the beginning I want to help her, has been planted!" Ji Ning looked a little pessimistic.

Shangguan Wan'er still wanted to say something, but she found that there was no way to evaluate it at this time, as if she was not qualified to evaluate a relationship.

Ji Ning took her all the way to a small courtyard, and Shangguan Wan'er was curious: "How many residences do you have in the capital?" ”

"Cunning rabbit three holes, haven't you heard of this truth? In the past few days, I will deal with the affairs of the Confucian Temple with peace of mind, I believe that Shigong and those scholars who went to Jiangnan to assess my title will also return to the capital soon, I will go to meet these people and set my literary name, before that, I still don't want to get involved in the struggle of the palace! Ji Ning said firmly.

"What about me?" Shangguan Wan'er asked curiously.

Ji Ning shook his head and said: "What do you want to do, it is completely your own choice, if you want to stay, I welcome, I just lack the company of confidantes by my side, if you want to leave, then I will not stop you, maybe you also need something in the Holy Gate...... After all, these things have little to do with me, and I won't interfere too much! ”

"You are always so angry when you speak, forget it, I don't have anything to fight with you, these days, I'll still stay, I don't want to pay attention to the affairs of the master!" Shangguan Wan'er herself was also a little interested.

Ji Ning looked at Shangguan Wan'er in front of him, and suddenly felt a little familiar, as if it was another self.

It seems that they are forced into a desperate situation with no way out by the embarrassing situation, but they still have to work hard to support, to put it bluntly, they are just sympathetic to each other.
