The sky above the entire Qiangong seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of smoke filled with gloom.

"Why hasn't there been any news for so long?"

"You people, one by one, usually hold the royal family of the Ji Kingdom, but when it is critical, they all shrink their necks and hide to the side. Do you all want to be turtles? ”

……

Ji Zisheng scolded, his words revealing a questioning tone.

And those subordinates who went to find Jin Chi'er all returned in vain, and now they don't even dare to go out once.

Even though he was scolded by the young son of heaven Ji Zisheng, he still nodded, bent his waist, and said "Yes, Your Majesty" in his mouth.

No one thought that the current Jin Chi'er was not elsewhere, but was in Ji Range's palace, helping her to build Shui Yunyan.

Ji Zisheng seemed to be even more enraged, and said with one mouth: "What is it?" If you can't find it in the capital, go to the outside of the capital, and besides, have you searched every corner of the capital? If you really can't find it, go to the manors, fields and villages on the outskirts of the capital, and if you can't find it, go to a more distant place to find it......"

Listening to Ji Zisheng's words, his subordinates hurriedly pursed their thin lips, but their mouths were a little vague and said: "Your Majesty, basically every corner of the capital has been searched, except for Changle Palace......"

"Aunt Huang?" Ji Zisheng stumbled suddenly, stroked the corners of his forehead, and shook his head again and again with one mouth.

"No, that's not what you're saying."

Ji Zisheng: "Aunt Huang, she should know my feelings for Chi'er, if Chi'er is really there, she will definitely tell me." ”

"Your Majesty," the subordinate continued.

Ji Zisheng suddenly waved his hand and interrupted them: "Enough, Ziyou." Stand back and go farther away. Whether it is the entire Ji Kingdom or the entire Ji Yun Continent, even if you turn over the surroundings, you have to find out the people for me. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty" Lu Ziyou looked helpless, so he had to arch his hand, followed in the crowd, and hurriedly walked outside the palace.

In the empty gorgeous palace, only Ji Zisheng was left.

However, even though the lights were shining and the splendor was beautiful, his heart was even colder.

Jin Chi'er, is she really going to hide from him all the time? However, even if it is not seen, it is the best outcome, if it is ...... When Ji Zisheng thought of this, he couldn't help frowning, and he was reluctant to continue thinking about it.

There was a sudden sound of the piano in his ears, and Ji Zisheng's ears moved, and the music was still complaining, but it ......, "The mountains are also long, and the water is long." The mountains and rivers are far away, and the road is far away. Looking forward to last night, looking forward to today, looking forward to coming and going, and the soul is gone. ”

When the familiar tune echoed in Ji Zisheng's ears, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he couldn't help but read it, but at this time, the sound of the piano became more and more urgent, invisibly revealing endless similarities and concerns.

This ancient song is the love tune between him and Jin Chi'er, and there is no one else who can play it in this Qiangong. Now, the sound of the piano music is sounding again, could it be that Jin Chi'er is back?

When Ji Zisheng thought of this, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his heart, and even his steps accelerated significantly, and when he walked in the direction of the sound of the piano, there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

However, when it got closer, it was finally clear to all.

The smile on Ji Zisheng's face froze and disappeared, and in a trance, it disappeared completely, and the corresponding invisible flame was fluttering in his heart.

"Who are you? How did this come about? Zhang Yingying was slightly hooking the corners of her mouth, wanting to explain, but unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her hand, a slap in Ji Zisheng's hand slapped her, Zhang Yingying's originally beautiful and delicate face, the corners of her mouth were a little crooked for a while, vaguely swollen, making her face feel a hot pain.

Zhang Yingying had tears in her eyes for a moment, but she covered her face lightly.

She had heard Jin Chi'er play this piece once in Chuxiu Palace, but because this song sounded particularly resentful, and Lu Ajiao had been proficient in music since she was a child, so she memorized it.

Now, she was beaten because she knew this song, and Zhang Yingying's crystal tears actually hung on her face.

At this time, Lu Ajiao, who was hiding behind a natural jade rockery behind the imperial garden, showed a frightened and terrifying expression on her face, but she still didn't dare to come out with a trace of atmosphere, she only dared to stay honestly in the most hidden position behind the rockery, and peeked at all this from the crack in the rockery.

After all, one is the Son of Heaven in the current dynasty, and the other is the daughter of Zhang Dechao, a powerful general who holds heavy military power.

Whoever it is, she can't afford to be guilty of both.

Lu Ajiao thought stupidly, but although Zhang Yingying was beaten, she didn't directly collide, but suddenly walked down next to the long guqin she was playing and came to Ji Zisheng.

As soon as he lowered his head, he actually bowed his head and saluted Ji Zisheng: "Your Majesty, although Yingying doesn't know what mistakes she made?" However, he was angry with Long Yan. Yingying deserves ...... death."

Listening to what Zhang Yingying said, Ji Zisheng couldn't help blinking his eyes, and suddenly felt some pity in his heart, Zhang Yingying didn't seem to be wrong, why was he so angry just now, and actually beat her?

Is it because she can play a piano song, but a single piano song is not worthy of his anger.

Ji Zisheng felt a little guilty in his heart, but Zhang Yingying suddenly raised a pair of sparkling eyes and stared at Ji Zisheng.

Ji Zisheng stopped, but suddenly said, "Zhang Yingying, where did you hear this song?" ”

"This tune?" Zhang Yingying pretended to be surprised. Although she already knew about this matter, she said a little deliberately: "Your Majesty, what is the origin of this song?" The slave maid had overheard it in Chuxiu Palace. ”

"Unintentionally?" Ji Zisheng asked in a loud voice.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yingying suddenly looked sincere, and said truthfully: "Your Majesty, this piece was played by the slave maid when she was in Chuxiu Palace, and she just felt that the ancient song was full of lovesickness and affection, so she invited Sister Jin Chi'er to teach the slave maid." But who would have thought ......"

Zhang Yingying covered her face, and seemed to have a hint of resentment in her voice, "Your Majesty, Yingying heard that Miss Jin Chi'er was missing, and she was very anxious. I also asked my father to send someone to find her, but who would have expected her to ......"

As she spoke, she secretly thought in her heart that this Jin Chi'er would never come back.

His father's reputation is by no means in vain, and the killers sent out have never made a mistake.

"Didn't expect that? What did you expect," Hearing Zhang Yingying say this, Ji Zisheng's suddenly heroic face revealed obvious anger between his eyebrows, "Zhang Yingying, I warn you, Jin Chi'er will be fine, and she will definitely not." ”

"So, don't you want to take advantage of her absence, take the opportunity to get close to me, and fight me!" Ji Zisheng said that although the moment Zhang Yingying played the piano just now, he really thought that Jin Chi'er had come back.

However, Zhang Yingying nodded, as if she was saying sincerely: "Your Majesty, you are very clear about Sister Jin Chi'er's favor, slave maid. And not only the slaves and maids know, but also the entire Chuxiu Palace. You don't know, when you are not there, Sister Chi'er is always proud every time in Chuxiu Palace, saying that Your Majesty, how you pamper her, she has to be, like you, if Sister Chi'er knows, she will definitely not bear not to come out to see you. ”

"That's enough," Zhang Yingying was just halfway through her words, when Ji Zisheng interrupted her suddenly, "Zhang Yingying, don't say it again." ”

"But, Your Majesty......"

Ji Zisheng nodded: "Zhang Yingying, what do you mean is that this Jin Chi'er knows my affection for her. But she didn't come to see me, maybe she was already dead...... Or is it trying to test me? ”

Zhang Yingying's beautiful eyes, blinking black and white in the sockets, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, whether it is a test or not, the courtiers don't know very well." However, Jin Chi'er told me this with a smile, and told us that she has always been popular. Everywhere you go, there are people who like it, she used to be in the Qiangong Palace, and she was pampered by Your Majesty, and then she went to Chuxiu Palace, and the little eunuch took the initiative to find her. By the way, what else did the courtiers hear, Jin Chi'er once said that the palace of the entire Ji Kingdom is like a huge dome, and the women who have lived here for a long time are all canaries in cages......"

"What?" Ji Zisheng listened to Zhang Yingying's words, as if he remembered something, "Dome in the house? Canary? ”

In his mind, a memory from the past seemed to echo invisibly: "Jin Chi'er, if there is a chance for you to choose again, how will you choose?" Ji Zisheng asked.

Jin Chi'er put her hands on her cheeks and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, I want to say that I can leave the palace?" After all, compared to those palaces in the deep palace compounds, I yearn for the unrestrained ...... in the fields and countryside."

……

When the memories were floating in Ji Zisheng's ears, Zhang Yingying's eyes on the side were staring at every slight change on his face for a moment, and everything was secretly in his eyes.

"Zhang Yingying, you said, since you said so, if Chi'er is still alive, she will definitely appear. But in the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and she has not even seen a figure, if she can understand my heart, how can she ignore me like this? ”

The more Ji Zisheng spoke, the more indignant he became, and secretly sighed that each of them had their own fate, and they really couldn't force it at all.

Although he could feel that Ji Zisheng's words were no longer as strong as before, but had turned into a consultative tone, Zhang Yingying had a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, you are too careful." Sister Jin Chi'er will definitely have her own natural appearance, and she will definitely ......"

"No," Ji Zisheng shook his head and sighed, "She won't come back." If she wanted to come back, why did she wait until now? At least I'll find a way to reunite with me, or send someone to send a message to my ......."

"Your Majesty......" Looking at Ji Zisheng's lonely face, Zhang Yingying suddenly felt a little unbearable.

Ji Zisheng waved his hand: "Yingying, you don't have to say anything." Today's events, I have my own decision. Now I just want to be alone and quiet. ”

"Okay then," Zhang Yingying nodded her head, but seeing that Ji Zisheng had changed a little, she didn't say anything more, but turned back.

At this time, behind the rockery, Lu Ajiao looked at everything that happened between Zhang Yingying and Ji Zisheng, and she was already pale with fright......
