I looked at Izawa's clear and pure eyes, and said in a calm tone, "I want to hear the story behind this jade." ”

Jing Ze was stunned for a moment, but Jin Yan was anxious first, tugged on my sleeve and whispered, "Princess......"

"If you don't want to hear it, get out." I turned my head to look at Jin Yan, and there was no emotion in my eyes.

Jin Yan was choked by me, and obediently stopped talking.

The room was quiet for a while, Jing Ze lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then he raised his head again, still in a familiar tone and words.

"Wei Yao, is King Duan good to you?"

I felt a faint pain in the depths of my heart, lowered my head and smiled softly, and it took a long time to spit out three words: "I don't know." ”

"Okay." Izawa nodded, "As long as your answer is not a simple 'good' word, then I'm willing to tell you everything." ”

I looked up at him, and I couldn't see the light in his eyes, but the corners of his slightly raised mouth were clear.

"I am the crown prince, my mother is the original wife of King Yan, and after she died, my father married a new queen."

Izawa smiled at me: "How is it, does it sound familiar?" ”

I was slightly stunned, his background is indeed very similar to Wei Yao.

He is the eldest son, and she is the eldest daughter.

He lost his mother, and she lost her mother.

His stepmother treated her badly, and so did her stepmother.

"King Duan is a military general, invincible everywhere he goes, so my father sued for peace and sent me, as the crown prince, here as a hostage."

I know that King Duan is a military general, not only does King Duan tell me this on weekdays, but I have indeed seen armor in King Duan's study.

But I don't know that the reason why Jing Ze was sent as a hostage was because King Duan was there, and Yan Guo had no chance of winning.

"As the crown prince of a country and the eldest son of the emperor, how could I be sent as a hostage?" Jing Ze smiled casually, as if he wasn't talking about his own business, "Even if you really want to send the prince, my father has so many sons, just seal a prince and send it over, why me?" ”

I already knew in my heart: "Is it the idea of the new queen?" ”

"I didn't have a choice," Izawa laughed to himself, "even though I am a hostage, the position of the prince has always been on me. But I am far away in another country, I don't get involved in politics, I don't care about the dynasty, and when the day when Yan changes kings, what qualifications do I have to be kings? What are the skills to serve the people? Is it just the identity of a prince? ”

"The Queen's sons are getting bigger and better, and I can only live in a foreign country. The identity of the crown prince is already a false name for me. ”

Someone outside knocked softly on the door and came in with fruit tea, Jing Ze poured me a cup, and drank tea with his head down, not in a hurry.

It seemed that he knew the situation at the moment, but it didn't seem to make him anxious.

"Then, I met you." Izawa looked at me, his eyes as gentle as water.

"You are a reserved and self-contained woman, and when I first saw you, I knew that your heart was by no means as docile and gentle as you appeared."

"When I slowly learn that your background is the same as mine, my feelings for you are not only appreciation, but a kind of admiration that resonates."

Izawa said, picking up the jade in his hand.

"I tell you my feelings, and I can even see your emotion. But when it comes to your mouth, you will always have only one cold sentence, marriage matters, parents are in charge. ”

"As a proton of your enemy country, where did I get the qualifications to ask the prime minister to marry his eldest daughter. I could only knock on the side, but your father didn't agree. ”

"I told you everything, and you didn't say anything."

"I don't know if you're blaming me for not doing enough, or if you don't have a crush on me at all."

"But that's really all I could do at that time."

"So I gave you this jade with the last glimmer of hope, hoping that you would accept it."

"Because I don't know in what capacity I can give you."

"Good thing you took it."

Speaking of this, Jing Ze smiled brightly and leaned over: "And when you accepted the jade, you said three words to me, 'I can wait'." ”

My heart trembled.

Izawa looked into my eyes, his eyes were full of happiness: "Do you know how happy I was that day?" ”

"Because of your words, I swear that one day, I will definitely let you stand by my side openly. Let everyone in the world know that Wei Yao is my woman. ”

All of this Izawa said very calmly, as if he was reminiscing, and as if he was telling someone else's story.

I stared at him intently, I knew it was inappropriate in ancient times, but I just wanted to watch.

"But," Jing Ze continued, "King Duan actually asked the emperor to marry you as a concubine, and the emperor and King Duan naturally had a deep brotherhood. After the marriage, you gave me back the jade. Since then, the jade has been by my side until one day I accidentally lost it. ”

"I thought that God also wanted me to let go," Izawa looked at me, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little meaningful, "I didn't expect that there would be a day when things will be returned to their original owners." ”

This sentence returns to the original owner, Jing Ze said slowly.

It makes me wonder if it's jade or something else that has been returned to its original owner.

I stared down at my teacup, deep in thought.

After a while, I looked up and asked him, "Jing Ze, can you let go of Wei Yao now?" ”

The corners of Jing Ze's mouth hooked, and he didn't answer directly: "Why do you ask that, aren't you Wei Yao?" ”

I sneered in my heart and asked back: "Do you really think I'm Wei Yao?" ”

Jing Ze's face stiffened, and after a moment, he was relieved, lowered his head and chuckled: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Yesterday when I left the palace, I met a half-immortal," I said, looking at Izawa's expression, "He told me about the loan." I went back and asked King Duan, and King Duan said, that half-immortal was brought to the house by you. ”

Even though I poked it in front of me, Izawa was still very calm.

"At this point, I have nothing to hide," Jing Ze smiled and generously admitted, "It's just that I agreed with King Duan that I would hide this secret for the rest of my life, so I have to hide it, please forgive me." ”

Oh, now I'm happy to say yes.

Are you still so justified in doing such a thing?

"Since you want to hide for the rest of your life, why are you arranging for a half-immortal to tell me about it now?"

Without thinking about it, Jing Ze replied, "That half-immortal is not my subordinate, and I don't know why he told you. I just happened to know about such a person at the time. ”

Cut, the ghost believes.

"Okay, just take it as a coincidence," I sneered, "Then let me ask you, on the day Wei Yao fell into the water, someone went to report to King Duan, and King Duan came in a hurry." But how did you get there so quickly? ”

Jing Ze took a sip of tea, not in a hurry: "King Duan also came to ask me about this matter, and I told the truth." ”

"What is it?"

"There is my internal response in Duanwang's mansion," Jing Ze still calmed, "I arranged a little girl next to Wei Yao, and that girl will tell me how Wei Yao is, so I can know it for the first time." Later, that girl was also disposed of by Duanwang. ”

Hearing this, at least I understood one thing.

In the past, Wei Yao really liked Jing Ze.

Needless to say, this piece of jade is about it.

Wei Yao ostensibly ignored King Duan because of her sister and her husband's secret knot, but in fact, she was afraid that she was still thinking that Jing Ze would take her away one day.

And I feel that the girl arranged by Jing Ze's side should also be acquiesced by Wei Yao.

Otherwise, Jing Ze's hand is too long, and Princess Duan's side can reach it?

I didn't speak for a long time, and Izawa was silent with me for a long time.

"Since you know that I'm not Wei Yao, why do you care if King Duan is good to me?"

Izawa's fingertips moved slightly, his eyes drooped, but he didn't answer.

"You care so much about Wei Yao......" I wanted to ask, but I was interrupted by Jing Ze before I finished speaking.

Jing Ze snorted and raised his head: "This is not in a hurry, I have time to explain to you." ”

Before I could understand the meaning of this sentence, I saw him reach out and push open the cup on the table, as if he had something important to say to me: "Did King Duan tell you that my father is seriously ill and will die soon?" ”

"What?" King Duan didn't tell me.

He never told me some interesting stories in the court, he didn't talk about political affairs, and I didn't like to listen to them.

"The fact that my father is seriously ill has not been publicized, but this kind of thing cannot be hidden, and your emperor has already known about it."

Jing Ze leaned on the desk, supported his head with one hand, and said in an orderly manner: "The Yan Kingdom has changed its dynasty, even if my proton is here, if the new emperor doesn't care about my life when he ascends the throne, then it doesn't matter if your emperor kills me." ”

Izawa spoke casually, as if the person who was going to be in danger was not him.

I was amazed and puzzled, why did Izawa keep staying out of the way and not paying attention to everything?

"And I," Izawa said to himself, not paying attention to my expression, "and if I had not been present at the moment of my father's death, the queen would have changed my father's edict and passed the throne to whoever she wanted." ”

Hearing this, even I couldn't help asking, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”

Are you just waiting here to die?

Jing Ze turned his head to look at me, with a big smile on his face: "Are you worried about me?" ”

I was stunned, it was just my subconscious curiosity when I listened to the story.

Why did it pour into Izawa's mouth, there was a hint of ambiguous taste.

Jing Ze didn't wait for me to answer, but simply answered my question: "Naturally, I won't sit still, I plan to leave here and return to the Yan Kingdom before my father dies." ”

I was really shocked.

Whether this eldest brother has forgotten that he is still a hostage in South Korea, how to run away is a problem, and running away is equivalent to ruining the peace treaty with South Korea back then is even more problematic.

And according to his meaning, even if he escapes successfully and returns to Yan to inherit the throne, then he is also a Yan King who annoyed Korea, does it make sense?

Not to mention whether King Duan will lead troops to lift him at that time, South Korea's strength is far above that of Yan, is it really good for Jing Ze to form such a big beam for himself as soon as he ascends the throne?
