That was seven years ago, and He Jingying had just completed three years of filial piety.

Her father, He Ji, made great contributions to the foundation of the Great Qi Dynasty, and after the founding of the country, he did not become a powerful minister. This made the He family win infinite glory.

When He Ji was alive, everyone took into account his friendship with the emperor and was very close to flattery. Although He Ji is not a powerful minister, these flatteries and knots still put He Ji in a high position.

Moreover, He Ji's too close relationship with the emperor also pushed the He family to the hostile side of all ministers. The so-called puff is not guilty, but he is guilty. As soon as He Ji died, it was the beginning of the decline of the He family.

In addition to He Ji and He Yin, the He family also has a few brothers who are officials in the court and are not very successful. These brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps, and when He Ji was alive, they did heaven and earth and died, and they also did a lot of bastard things. As soon as He Ji died, these things were counted out one by one as crimes.

The dumping of power and deliberate suppression almost crushed the He family like a wheel.

said that it was almost, because He Yin supported the stormy He family at that time. But it is precisely because of this that He Yin, who has always kept a low profile, began to be hostile from all sides of the DPRK and China.

Murder and heart. This means that the Wang family is the best at. He Yin does not have the same merits as He Ji, and the relationship with the emperor is not as close as He Ji. If you provoke alone, the emperor may not care, but as many people say it, they will inevitably become suspicious.

Three years after He Ji's death, He Yin tried his best to protect the He family. In the end, the emperor still listened to the slander and began to suppress the He family. He Yin was also seriously ill at this juncture.

Seeing that the He family was about to be crushed into powder, Xiao Zhaoye appeared. He went against the will of God to marry He Jingying. In the end, the emperor had no choice but to agree to the marriage.

Only then did the He family take He Jingying, who lived in another courtyard all the year round, back to the house, and treated her as a Guanyin Bodhisattva who rescued the suffering.

At the same time, the He family turned out the old things of He Ji at the time of the founding of the country, and expressed their heartfelt feelings to the emperor again and again.

He Ji didn't know if he saw Zi Weixing fall on the Xiao family's ancestral house, or if he just opened his eyes. When the Xiao family was in trouble in the previous dynasty, he swore to the emperor that he wanted the children of the He family to assist the Xiao family in establishing a grand hegemony.

When the He family mentioned this old incident, the emperor finally relented. For the love affair with He Ji, and in order to let his most beloved grandson marry a decent daughter-in-law, the emperor punished those He family wrongdoers lightly, but still kept the glory of the General's Mansion.

As soon as He Jingying was taken back to the General's Mansion, various rumors spread. said that she was calculated by the master when she was born, and it was the queen's life.

This is obviously nonsense, because when He Jingying was born, her father was not there. When his mother gave birth to her, there were only a few maids and a mother-in-law who delivered the baby. The names were all taken three days later.

It is also said that He Jing is heroic and glamorous in the capital. This is even more nonsense. He Jingying's appearance is indeed well-born. But you must know that those who can be called the crown of the capital must also have unparalleled talents. And she didn't know what her father thought, she never had any requirements for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting or female celebrity, but the few time they met, they were checking whether her martial arts had improved.

Some people also said that He Jingying used some evil tricks to hook Xiao Zhaoye's soul. This is possible. Because the meeting between He Jingying and Xiao Zhaoye was not a flower to talk about Fengyue, but in a broken temple.

At that time, Xiao Zhaoye didn't know why, so he found a broken temple to worship. The Buddha he worshipped not only did not have a golden body, but even the paint on his body fell so that he couldn't distinguish the color, and a good Maitreya Bodhisattva was made like a mud Bodhisattva.

He Jingying prefers this dilapidated temple. Not only because she always remembered the days when she ran to the broken temple with a group of dirty friends when she was a child, but also because the He family was almost to the point of being destroyed and falling apart during that time, and she couldn't help, so she could only find a broken temple to breathe.

At that time, Xiao Zhaoye came alone, and he didn't even follow anyone. When He Jingying jumped out from behind the Buddha statue, Xiao Lian was kneeling low on the cold floor tiles and crying quietly.

He Jingying saw that he was pitiful, so she wiped the apples from the broken temple and gave him to eat. Maybe Xiao Zhaoye thought she was a monster at that time.

Not long after, He Jingying met Xiao Zhaoye on the street again, and when he heard that He Jingying was the daughter of the He family, he showed a knowing smile.

After that, He Jingying was given marriage, and on the day of the wedding, she confusedly recognized that her own husband was the young man crying in the broken temple.

No one in He Jingying's life has ever surprised her, and the only surprise is the scene when her head was lifted on her wedding day.

She remembered this scene for many years, so that later in the palace, she suffered any grievances, and she could pass this scene if she thought about it.

At that time, in addition to the gold, silver and jade, her dowry also included the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that Duo General He Yin snatched back from the hands of the Lord of Yama, and the dowry was followed by the holy decree of restoring the glory of the General's Mansion.

He Jingying has always remembered these kindnesses, even if Xiao Zhaoye's alienation and indifference after marriage diluted the surprise at the moment when he raised his hijab, but that, that holy decree, was owed to Xiao Zhaoye by the entire He family. And He Jingying is the only one who can repay this kindness. A long time ago, He Jingying decided to pay it back with her life.

Xiao Lian was silent for a long time after listening to He Jingying talk about this old matter. "So if Xiao Fa doesn't come back, you will have to die with you?"

Xiao Lian sneered: "This is to sell face to the He family, but I want you to pay it back by a woman." “

He Jingying sighed: "I have to find a way to repay what I owe." ”

Xiao Lian sneered: "You really think of yourself as a snail girl." ”

He Jingying raised her eyebrows lightly and looked at Xiao Lian, there were a few words in this sentence that she couldn't understand.

Xiao Lian didn't bother to explain: "Since the He family and Xiao Fa are both prosperous and both lost, if Xiao Fa really can't come back, and you go to die with you, isn't it equivalent to dragging the He family into the water together?" ”

He Jingying looked at Xiao Lian, and there was a hint of apology in her eyes: "Isn't there still you?" ”

"And me?" Xiao Lian was stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out: "Are you asking me to keep the He family for you here, and then you will go and repay Xiao Zhaoye's bastard kindness?" ”

He Jingying lowered her eyes, she didn't answer Xiao Lian's question, but asked, "Actually, you can't go back, can you?" ”

Xiao Lian frowned and said, "Why do you ask that?" ”

He Jingying raised her head and looked directly at Xiao Lian: "Because you never thought about home." ”

Xiao Lian was speechless on the spot, he really didn't think that in the country where cremation was practiced, he could still go back and crawl out of the soil. Xiao Lian choked for a while, and reluctantly said, "It's not that I don't want to." ”

He Jingying smiled a little weakly: "I actually don't have any ideas. When I was with Xiao Zhaoye all along, he had the final say. ”

"Then you don't have to make up your mind to go with him. It's so boring for me to live here by myself. ”

Two big living people sit at home and discuss what happened after death, as if they were terminally ill, but no one found it funny.

He Jingying looked at Xiao Lian's eyes with a little regret: "Xiao Lian, every time I see you, I can think of him." I think about what I owe him all the time. If he doesn't come back, we'll ...... Neither can we. ”

Xiao Lian understood in an instant. The skin he wore was like a walking memo. That grudge is like writing on his own face with a pen, showing it to He Jingying every moment. Those grievances are summed up, and He Jingying always owes Xiao Zhaoye a lot.

Xiao Lian was like a fish in his throat, but he couldn't say anything wrong with He Jingying.

The body he and He Jingying are precisely the moat between them. No matter how many times he was born and died, no matter how long he was in the same boat through thick and thin, Xiao Zhaoye was an insurmountable barrier between the two.

So even in times of crisis, they are willing to use their lives to block the fatal knife for each other, they can't take a step in terms of feelings.

Xiao Lian sometimes really hopes that He Jingying can be confused, so that she can not see the world so thoroughly and distinguish it so clearly.

The evening breeze blew from the gazebo, blowing He Jingying's sideburns. The green silk brushed her white to transparent cheeks, and landed on her slender and elegant neck, on which was slightly stretched because of the forehead horns, and the blue and white blood vessels could be seen. The sleeves slid down her arms, revealing her fair, radiant forearms.

Regret, jealousy, and vague anger became intense as Xiao Lian's chest rose and fell. Xiao Lian said hoarsely: "Then my kindness, how can you repay it?" ”

He Jingying was slightly stunned.

Xiao Lian was the second surprise she felt in her life.

When he saves himself in Stone Town; When he rode from outside the gates of the city; When he lifted himself out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment; When he tried his best to protect himself with a badly injured body. Every moment made He Jingying feel some emotions that transcend kindness and life and death.

With such kindness, how can she He Jingying repay it? She only has one life.

But every time she saw Xiao Lian and looked at the familiar face of Xiao Zhaoye, all the throbbing would be covered by strong guilt.

Just like now, she could see the emotions surging in Xiao Lian's eyes, but she couldn't accept it.

Like a deserter, she fled in defeat, and her eyes were full of haste that she couldn't hide: "If there is a next life......"

"Nope! This is already the next life. Xiao Lian almost rudely interrupted what He Jingying was about to say.

Those regrets, jealousies, and anger finally make people extremely humble under the surging love. Like a fool in love, he asked the embarrassing question that every fool would ask: "What about you, have you ever touched me a little bit." ”

He Jingying's face turned pale. The question she had been avoiding was asked nakedly, and when the blood was dripping in front of her, she didn't dare to answer it at all. She subconsciously wanted to hide away again. She wanted to cover her ears and hold her head now, but she held back.

Xiao Lian saw He Jingying slowly shake her head and spit out two words: "No." ”

Stunned for a moment, Xiao Lian was stunned on the spot: "No? Not at all? ”

He Jingying didn't want to continue the topic at all, stood up and said to Xiao Lian: "It's not early, it's time to rest." ”

He Jingying hurriedly walked away, and when she passed by Xiao Lian, her arm was grabbed by Xiao Lian.

Inertia made He Jingying stumble backwards. Xiao Lian forcibly pulled his shoulders over and forcibly let He Jingying face him. "Is there really not? Even a little. ”

He Jingying twisted her shoulders uncomfortably, but Xiao Lian didn't have the slightest intention of letting go. The aggrieved emotions made He Jingying's nose sour, and she shouted out regardless of it: "No!" ”

Xiao Lian pinched He Jingying's jaw and twisted her side face to the side: "Then why don't you dare to look at me!" ”

He Jingying was extremely aggrieved, and her eyes were full of tears. She looked at Xiao Lian stubbornly, trembling and said, "No! ”

Looking at He Jingying's eyes slightly red with tears, her cheeks that became rosy because of excitement, and her lips trembling slightly, and her weak look like a little rabbit, Xiao Lian's Adam's apple slipped fiercely, and he kissed it without thinking.

He Jingying retreated in a hurry, but her waist was held by Xiao Lian with one hand. Xiao Lian's five fingers stretched out to the back of He Jingying's head, and with a light press, He Jingying was tightly pressed against him, and there was nowhere to escape.

He Jingying closed her lips tightly, and Xiao Lian pushed He Jingying's lips apart little by little, and gently bit He Jingying's soft lips with her teeth. Until He Jingying's lips were numb and he was almost unconscious, he didn't have the slightest intention of giving up.

Xiao Lian's kiss became rough around He Jingying's closed lips, and he forced He Jingying to relax her clenched teeth. The dexterous tongue poked into He Jingying's mouth to conquer the city, and the ambiguous breath became more and more intense between the snorts.

This is different from the kiss in Orion's hut outside Zhuyi, which is an antidote, a tranquilizer. Under the severe pain, Xiao Lian almost didn't remember what the kiss felt like that day, but in a trance, he felt that there was a little more light in the sky.

Now this kiss is a dose of poison, which makes two people fall into it, and there is an endless abyss under their feet. The lingering breath with a slight wheezing entwined the two people, making the affection entrenched in the hearts like a mess, and like a fine needle piercing the heart, making both hearts feel dense and suffocating pain.

A crystal teardrop slipped down He Jingying's cheek and dripped on the tips of the tongues of the two people, and the bitter salty taste melted in Xiao Lian's mouth. Finally, Xiao Lian stopped on the verge of a collapse of his sanity.

He couldn't add any more trouble to He Jingying.

It is this man who he wants to protect, everything that this man believes it is. Even if it's an unjustified obsession.

It was an almost harsh self-discipline.

He hated his self-discipline.

Xiao Lian hugged He Jingying tightly and rubbed her into his arms. He rubbed He Jingying's hair and forcibly suppressed his burning impulse.

He said in a hoarse voice, "A-Ying, but I love you." ”

It's a pity that there is no next life.

He Jingying finally couldn't help but sobbed quietly in Xiao Lian's arms.
