In the Weiyang Palace.

Sima Zhan directly kicked down the person kneeling in front of him, his face full of anger.

He said angrily: "I obviously asked you to pay attention to the problems on the other side of the Western Fan Kingdom, why did you still let the envoys sent there have problems?

What the hell are you raising for food? ”

The person who was kicked down by Sima Zhan trembled and crawled back to his knees, bowing his head and trembling and unable to speak.

Sima Zhan walked back and forth, his face seemed to be panicked and obviously unwilling.

He looked at the kneeling man at his feet very fiercely, and then asked the attendant who had been following him recently, and who had been holding him up by his hand:

"Has Princess Jinning returned to the palace?"

The attendant bowed and replied respectfully, "Listening to the report of the person at the door, Princess Jinning has just returned to the palace. ”

Sima Zhan took a deep breath, didn't even look at the kneeling person at his feet, and directly let myopia prepare for his trip.

He instructed his attendants: "Send someone to Changle Palace to say hello to Princess Jinning first, and then prepare a low-key chariot and drive to Changle Palace." ”

The attendant didn't ask why, and quickly went to do this for Sima Zhan.

Sima Zhan looked at the ineffective subordinate kneeling at his feet again, snorted coldly, and threatened them:

"I'll give you one last chance, and I'll go and find out who the envoys of the Western Fan Kingdom have been taken away by now. If you can't find the answer after three days, then you don't have to stay in Jingcheng anymore. ”

The subordinate nodded hurriedly, lowered his head and quickly retreated towards the door.

After Sima Zhan and the other attendants arranged everything, they calmly faced each other, got into the chariot, and went to the Changle Palace where Sima Jingling was located.

At this time, thousands of miles away, the emperor of the Western Fan Kingdom, who heard about this, also looked pensive.

After a while, he sighed heavily and helplessly, and said to the ministers who had come to hear about the disappearance of the envoys:

"Originally, after the accident in the Northern Proud Country, I still thought that our Western Fan Country should not be involved too much, but now it seems that it is still too ideal.

Now it seems clear that there are people who do not want our two countries to stay out of the situation and must involve us. It seems that this chaos is no longer simply a matter between one or two countries, but a matter of the whole world. ”

The Western Tibetan State was founded on commerce, and the class nature of the whole country was not as obvious as that of other countries.

Although there is also the existence of the imperial family, the imperial family is not as high as the Southern Imperial Kingdom and the Northern Proud Kingdom, but is very close to the people below, including ministers and commoners.

Therefore, although there are emperors, princesses, and other positions, everyone has never regarded themselves as superior beings.

The same is true of the Western Fan Kingdom in the face of these ministers under its command.

It may seem like they are gathering people to discuss the disappearance of the envoys, but in reality, it looks as if they are a large family exchanging views with each other. When the ministers of the Western Tibetan Kingdom heard the news of the disappearance of the envoys sent out from their side, they were not as angry as people imagined, or they were suddenly implicated in the Southern Imperial Kingdom.

This is because of their own peculiarities.

They are originally from a business background, and basically everyone has the experience of traveling as a businessman, so if there is any danger or something like that, they also have enough measures to deal with it.

When they usually do business, they pay great attention to security issues, not to mention such an important matter as the exchange between the two countries and the dispatch of envoys.

They didn't want anything unexpected to happen, so they cautiously sent experienced envoys.

And on the side of the Southern Imperial Kingdom, as the person who took the initiative to propose marriage to the Western Fan Kingdom, he would naturally pay great attention to the safety of their envoys from the Western Fan Kingdom.

Moreover, according to the news from Prince Han's side, Prince Han also personally sent people to greet the envoys they sent out on the way.

So now it seems that there is no reason why the southern imperial country deliberately attacked them.

Therefore, their emotions after hearing the news of the disappearance of their envoy can still be so stable.

But now, as soon as they heard the words of their own emperor, they also understood what their situation was now.

After saying that, I didn't speak anymore, and I didn't come to confirm whether I was really drunk or fake, which really saddened me. ”

The sudden sound did not frighten Sima Jingling or interrupt Sima Jingling as if she was in a daze at the wine bottle.

Without raising her head, she said to Abu:

"Oh, then you don't have to worry about me, just keep lying on your stomach, maybe you can really fall asleep on your stomach, in this case, I will also think you are drunk."

Ah Pu sighed helplessly, then got up and came to Sima Jingling's side, and sat down next to Sima Jingling.

He didn't care what Sima Jingling was doing when he kept looking at those wine bottles, but said to Sima Jingling:

"Ling, did you just get angry with me?"

Only then did Sima Jingling reluctantly take her eyes off those wine bottles and put them on Ah Pu's body.

She looked at it, although she was still a little nervous, but she had regained her usual self-confidence, and after not having any hesitation, she lightly pulled the corners of her mouth, and then lowered her head and said:

"No, I'm not angry."

After listening to Sima Jingling's answer, although it was already in his expectations, he still had some slight disappointment in his heart.

However, he had already packed up his mood, even if he felt setbacks from Sima Jingling now, he was not in a disordered mood, as if everything was out of proportion.

So he talked slightly, pretending to be very disappointed, and said:

"Ah, although I already have a hunch that Ah Ling will say this, I still have a slight disappointment in my heart.

Ah Ling, you really don't have any affection at all.

However, since you are not angry, it is also a good thing for me to hide it, because, in this way, I can continue to say some of the things I want to say. ”

Sima Jingling had already lifted up the wine bottles that had fallen to the ground one by one, and all of them were neatly straightened.

After listening to Ah Pu's words, although she already knew what Ah Pu would say, she didn't stop Ah Pu from continuing to speak.

And her tacit attitude is to allow Apo to think clearly again and explain his own mind under such circumstances.

Ah Pu also understands that Sima Jingling is giving herself another chance, if she can't seize this opportunity well, then if she wants to talk to Sima Jingling calmly about these things in the future, then the possibility will be very small.

Ah Pu took a deep breath to relax himself, and then said to Sima Jingling:

"What I just said to you, especially about the dowry, I am very serious, and it is from my heart, so I will not change it.

However, I will add to the end my own selfishness.

Ah Ling, after I marry you with the country, can you go with me to wander the world, see all the great rivers and mountains in this world, and walk in every corner of the world? ”

After Sima Jingling listened to Ah Pu's words, she was suddenly stunned.

She was originally fiddling with the last empty wine bottle, but as soon as Ah Gui's words entered Sima Jingling's mind, the empty wine bottle in Sima Jingling's hand was uncontrollable and fell to the side, incompatible with the neatly standing bottles around it.

Sima Jingling's heart was confused because of Ah Bao's words.

She never thought that she would be able to hear this sentence in Ah Pu's mouth so soon.

After all, in her imagination, Ah Pu is actually just a young man who is just beginning to fall in love.

Although he has a very smart brain, he can understand her mind very quickly, and in everything, he gives her a good help.

But Sima Jingling can say with certainty that Apo is a person who is not very mature in his feelings.

Leaving home at a young age, and full of hatred in my heart, it is really an incredible thing to be able to like others. Not to mention, being able to quickly make adjustments and choices in a short period of time, figure out what is the most important thing between the two of them, and catch her Sima Jingling, what she wants most.

Sima Jingling felt a little incredible, and her spirit was in a trance for a moment.

She suddenly remembered what Liu Ru had just told her about the uncertainty of love and the charm of love, and felt that Liu Ru was worthy of being the shopkeeper who had been doing intelligence work for many years, and she was very accurate in seeing people and doing things.

Sima Jingling gently covered her chest with her hands, felt the excited beating heart in her chest, and asked herself in her heart:

Really, is all this really true? The life she most wants to spend has been arranged for her by another person, so how can she refuse or how to escape?

Sima Jingling felt that it was probably because of the great attraction and influence of Xie Qingyun and Liu Ruye's wedding today, which made everything around them change incredibly, and also made these people in them more likely to be pulled by the other party's words and make more exciting moves than before.

However, is it true that Apo is right?

Can she really trust the joy of that kind of uncertain event?

Sima Jingling didn't know.

But her heart had clearly told her the answer, so that she could no longer escape.

The hesitation on Sima Jingling's face and the struggle in her eyes were seen by Apu, which made Apu feel a little distressed.

He suddenly understood how much mistake he had made before, thinking that he was sincere to Sima Jingling, but he never noticed Sima Jingling's inner struggle.

Sima Jingling is not unmoved by him, nor has she not considered their future in the future.

It's just that he thinks too much about their future, so that Sima Jingling realizes that he has not been able to provide a strong guarantee for the future that Sima Jingling considers.

In other words, Sima Jingling didn't trust him.

This is a bit sad in the eyes of others.

has followed Sima Jingling for so long, but she hasn't even gained trust, which is really embarrassing and sad.

But for Ah Pu, he will only feel that he is not enough.

He deeply understands that Sima Jingling, like him, is a person who has suffered great changes. People who don't trust others very well.

So when do they think about trust?

It's very simple, when you notice something and doubt it, it proves that you are shaken by it.

Therefore, Sima Jingling was able to consider this kind of problem, not because she didn't trust Apu, but precisely because she trusted Apu, she felt that Apo would not make the kind of choice she expected in the future.

Such a problem is easy to solve and difficult to solve, but if you can completely understand Sima Jingling's intentions, then Ah Gui will definitely not waver.

He stretched out his hand and gently covered Sima Jingling's hand, then held Sima Jingling's hand, and together they lifted the crooked wine bottle, and then placed it neatly next to the bottles that had been lifted up by Sima Jingling.

He said softly to Sima Jingling:

"You see, even if you can't do anything unexpected alone, as long as you have me and do it with me, you can always do it.

What is the difference between this cup that has been lifted up and other cups that have been lifted up and extinguished, isn't it? ”

Sima Jingling looked at the cups that were lifted up, and then suddenly smiled slightly.

She never said anything, but she always felt that Ah Pu had understood something.

This may be the reason why she can be tempted by Ah Pu.

The two of them were arranged together by fate, and then they approached step by step under the guidance of fate......

No, maybe it's not fate, it's just the result of the two of them choosing each other.

Seeing Sima Jingling smile, Ah Pu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He wasn't really sure that he would do this, but he was still very excited to be able to do it.

He held Sima Jingling's hand tightly, felt Sima Jingling's mood slowly becoming calmer, and enjoyed this quiet and peaceful time with her.

I don't know what jokes Xie Qingyun made after he was drunk, but suddenly there was a very clear roar from Liu Ruye in the distance, which made this quiet atmosphere more joyful and lively.

Sima Jingling finally raised her head and looked at Apu, without avoiding Apu's eyes.

She smiled brightly at Apu, and then, in the afterglow, kissed Apu's lips.

This move can be regarded as the most daring move by Sima Jingling when she is sincere.

The hearts of the two have been together like never before, and they have felt the taste of sweetness and happiness for a long time.

They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing again, and then they called the servants of the Xie family's old mansion and asked them to inform them that the two of them had left the Xie family's old mansion after Xie Qingyun and Liu Ru were sober.

The two men had made up their minds, and the servants could not keep them, so they called another carriage and sent them down the hill and back into the city.

However, Sima Jingling and Apu, who returned to the city, did not rush back to the palace, but continued to wander around the city.

They ate every snack on the stalls in the capital, and their faces were unprecedentedly relaxed, comfortable and comfortable smiles.
