The fight between the Marquis of Dingbei and Zhongdebo was handed over to King Xuan to deal with, but before the matter was clarified, both of them were ordered by the emperor to be grounded in the palace.

Ji Yanning naturally heard the rumors, she didn't expect Xiao Shaobei to be so confrontational with Yan Zheng, but at this time she couldn't go to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, she didn't know what was going on, and frowned.

She learned from Liu Mu that Rong Che had taken over the case, and although she knew that Rong Che would not be partial, she still felt uneasy in her heart.

The matter that was originally planning to return to Jiangzhou was also put on hold for the time being.

It's just that it didn't take long for Duan Wuflawless to find her.

Duan Wuflaw didn't want to go to Liufu, so he sent a message to let her go to Zuixiang Building.

Ji Yanning walked outside the private room of Zuixiang Building, pushed the door directly, and saw Duan Wufeng sitting at the table, as if he had been waiting for a while.

She stepped forward and bowed her head and said, "Duan Shaoqing." ”

Duan Wufang raised his eyes to look at her.

Ji Yanning is wearing a light cyan dress today, which looks elegant and quiet, obviously incompatible with her temperament, but she doesn't seem to have the slightest sense of disobedience, she always seems to be able to control any style, and only shows her own characteristics.

Ji Yanning was about to open his mouth to ask, but Duan Wuflaw preemptively said: "Don't ask me about Shaobei, I don't know, it's just that he asked me to bring you a letter." ”

As he spoke, he took a letter from his bosom and placed it on the table.

Ji Yanning was overjoyed in his heart and said, "Thank you!"

She reached out and picked up the letter, but she didn't care about Duan Wuflaw, and opened the envelope by herself.

The letter was not long, and it was written concisely and clearly, but as soon as Ji Yanning saw the content of the letter, his face immediately changed.

Xiao Shaobei wrote in the letter that the bodies of her family were thrown into mass graves and later collected by Jing Yuan.

In that case, probably only her senior brother still firmly believed in her grandfather, and collected their corpses without scruples, she couldn't even imagine how tormented and painful it should be to see the senior brother who was always dressed in white and dusty, shuttling through the corpse-strewn mass graves full of corpses and rotting corpses, watching the people she once familiar with become stiff corpses one by one.

Tears suddenly slipped from the corners of her eyes, wetting the corners of the letter.

Ji Yanning came back to his senses, noticed his gaffe, turned around and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

She continued to look down, read the contents of the letter to the end, crumpled the whole letter in her hand, and her eyes were dark.

In addition to her family, the letter also wrote about her, and as expected, her body was indeed untouched.

refused to let her go even if she died, Su Ningxue's heart was probably dark.

Let her only be a lonely soul and a wild ghost, and she will never be able to live forever?

Ji Yanning's heart suddenly felt a pain, as if her heart had been stripped of her heart, it hurt beyond words, she covered her chest with her hands, and her body was shaky.

It's a pity she's back now......

Ji Yanning suddenly laughed.

Su Ningxue must not have imagined that Ying Caiwei would come back to her one day to take revenge, right?

Duan Wufang noticed Ji Yanning's abnormality, originally thought that she had just seen Xiao Shaobei's letter, so she was worried about him, but she didn't expect Ji Yanning to seem to be stimulated.

He immediately stood up: "Ji Yanning, you ......"

"Uh!" Ji Yanning spit out a mouthful of blood, his body was unstable, and he was about to fall!

Duan Wufang was shocked, stepped forward to support Ji Yanning, thinking that she would take Yuan Wu with him, and said, "Yuan Wu!"

Yuan Wu pushed the door in, and his originally indifferent face was also extremely surprised.

"Miss!" he hugged Ji Yanning and said, "I'll take you to see the doctor!"

Ji Yanning suppressed Yuan Wu's hand: "I'm fine." ”

Duan Wuflaw frowned: "How can it be okay if they have already vomited blood!"

"If I say it's okay, it's okay!" Ji Yanning said angrily, pushing Duan Wufang's hand away.

Yuan Wu helped Ji Yanning sit on the chair and let her rest first.

Ji Yanning covered his heart and tried to calm himself down, but his body couldn't stop trembling, his eyes were glowing with coldness, and his face was pale.

Duan Wufang looked at the paper ball that was still pinched in her hand, and suddenly wanted to know what was written inside.

Xiao Shaobei asked him to hand over the letter to Ji Yanning, but in fact, he didn't even seal the mouth of the envelope, Xiao Shaobei didn't want him to read it, so he didn't need to be this villain, but now it seems that something very important was written in it.

It was so important that Xiao Shaobei risked being found to arrest the three lieutenant generals of Zhongdebo Mansion, and it was so important that Ji Yanning vomited blood after seeing it.

After slowing down in the room for about two quarters of an hour, Ji Yanning finally gradually recovered, and the pain in his heart slowly disappeared.

She pulled out her handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, though her face was still pale.

"Are you really okay?" Duan Wuflawless asked.

Ji Yanning hummed lightly and said, "Thank you Duan Shaoqing for the letter." ”

Duan Wufang glanced at Ji Yanning, he didn't believe that Ji Yanning was fine, but since she didn't want others to have too much trouble, he naturally wouldn't rush to worry about her.

He said: "Shaobei is my friend, there is no need to say thank you for such a trivial matter." But Shaobei is doing this for you, if you don't want him to worry, it's best to settle down and don't make trouble for him. ”

Ji Yanning bowed: "I know." ”

She saluted Duan Wuflawless slightly, then turned around and exited the room.

Looking at Ji Yanning's sad back, Duan Wufang frowned.

Ji Yanning walked out of the door of Zuixiang Building with Yuan Wu, and his mind was still in a trance.

Yuan Wu said worriedly: "Miss, are you going back to Liufu?"

Ji Yanning shook his head and said, "I'll walk around at will, you don't have to worry about me, how can I be so fragile." ”

Yuan Wu wanted to speak and stopped, Ji Yanning herself knew medical skills, if she said that she was fine, she couldn't force her to see a doctor, so she could only follow her all the time, for fear that something would happen to her.

The street is very lively, there are a lot of pedestrians coming and going, bustling and noisy, like clouds of smoke in Ji Yanning's ears.

Looking at so many fresh people, Ji Yanning suddenly felt that he was out of place with these people.

This is Chang'an, the place she is most familiar with, but now it looks so strange that she can no longer see those who really cared about her.

She walked forward step by step, following the route in her memory, and walked slowly forward, through the lively streets, through the alleys, and after walking for more than an hour, a little bead of sweat had appeared on her forehead.

Finally stopped in front of an old house.

This house has no plaques, no guards guarding the door, and looks like other ordinary people's small houses.

Ji Yanning was standing in front of this house, and was about to reach out to knock on the door, when she suddenly thought of something and took her hand back.

She suddenly crouched on the ground, hugged herself, and sobbed quietly.

Yuan Wu didn't step forward again this time, but silently stood aside, seeing Ji Yanning so sad, maybe he needed an opportunity to vent his emotions.

There were very few people coming and going in the alley, and it was noon, the sun was in full bloom, Ji Yanning didn't know how long she had been crying, and she felt that her eyes were dry, so she wiped her tears with her sleeve, and planned to get up and go back to Liufu.

She shouldn't have been here.

But as soon as she stood up, her legs were squatting for a while because she had walked for too long, and the pain made her unable to stand firmly, and her body fell forward, and she was about to fall to the ground.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yanning did not fall to the ground, her arm was grabbed, and she was able to support her to stand firmly.

She thought it was Yuan Wu, but she found that she didn't know when there was an extra umbrella on her head, she turned her head and saw Senior Brother Jingyuan behind her.

Jing Yuan was dressed in white, his hair and beard were already a little white, his complexion was soft, and he looked a little older than he was twenty years ago, but his elegant temperament had not decreased by half a point.

Ji Yanning's eyes were very red, and when he saw Jing Yuan, he couldn't say a word.

"Why is the girl inside?" asked Jing Yuan, this was his mansion.

He had never liked people to come to his mansion to look for him, and except for his own apprentices, few people would disturb his tranquility.

"I ......" Ji Yanning lowered his head, his voice was crying, "I'm lost." ”

Jing Yuan didn't expect her to say such a reason, looking at the little girl standing in front of him crying with red and swollen eyes, he said: "It's really a bit remote here, it's really normal to get lost for the first time, where is your home, I'll let someone send you back." ”

Ji Yanning shook his head violently: "No need, I can ask for directions myself." ”

As she spoke, she took two steps back, bowed slightly to Jing Yuan, and then trotted out briskly towards the exit of the alley, as if fleeing in embarrassment.

Jing Yuan looked at the back of this little girl, and when she completely disappeared from his field of vision, he withdrew his gaze, pushed open the door of the house, and walked in calmly.

"Sir is back?" As soon as he entered the house, the old servant inside saw Jing Yuan returning.

Jing Yuan hummed softly, then walked towards the study and said, "Come back and get the book." ”

Ji Yanning trotted out of Jingyuan's house, she felt embarrassed now.

I didn't expect to really meet my senior brother, she originally just walked there inexplicably, and suddenly she wanted to meet her senior brother, but she couldn't tell her senior brother her identity.

She didn't want her senior brother to worry, and she didn't want him to become a scheming person like herself.

Maybe Jing Yuan is in the academic world and ignores the affairs of the court, does not participate in these rights and wrongs, and only thinks about learning, which is the best choice for him.

Ji Yanning returned to the Liu family with a tired face, and when she thought of Xiao Shaobei and Yan Zheng's matter, she had a headache.

Although the current reputation of Yan Zheng is stinky, Rong Liang trusts Yan so much, and now he suspects that Xiao Shaobei has two hearts, even if this matter is unreasonable, it is still more difficult to bring him down.

Even if the title of Yan Zheng is removed, he is still the emperor's confidant and still has power.
