"And where is she now?"

Cangzi Meng was surprised when she heard that she had committed suicide, but she could also understand why she chose to do this.

She should have felt that sooner or later she would face the desperate situation of death in the future, so she chose to end her life early.

"Still in the cell, my subordinates are preparing to inform the prince."

"Go ahead, go in and have a look at the main palace."

The cells were damp, dark, and oppressive even in the corners.

Cangzimeng was led by the jailer to the place where the little mute was imprisoned, and saw the already stiff body.

The body was emaciated, huddled in a corner, the blood spilling from the corners of its mouth no longer flowing.

The jailer next to her said: "She killed herself by biting her tongue, and when we found out, she was already powerless." ”

Because the man was dead and there was no way to escape, the door to the cell was not closed.

Cangzi Mengjing stepped forward to open the door, walked in, stepped on the dry firewood and grass, and looked at the withered life on the ground.

Cangzi Meng didn't know how deep her relationship was with the servant girl who was killed by Mrs. Li, but Cangzi Meng, that should be the only person in her life who could be relied on.

I can't speak, I can only use tears to express my sadness, and I can use actions to vent my despair.

Li Rou said that she was not bad, and she could still excuse her like this after being kidnapped, Li Rou should know her true nature.

She should have come a long time ago, and if she had come earlier, she might not have been like this.

"Bury it well."

Cangzimeng said these four words to the jailer and left.

The jailer glanced at the back of Cangzi Meng's departure, and in his opinion, this side concubine of his own prince seemed to be a mystery.

"Niangniang, why do you think she wants to die?"

Dai Yin on the road asked Cangzimeng, and Cangzimeng smiled: "If you don't want to live, you naturally want to die." ”

This answer caught Dai Yin off guard, and she was powerless to refute, and finally chose to keep her mouth shut.

Passing by the gardens of the palace, the evening scenery has a hazy feeling, and the gazebo that has just been washed by the rain is slightly bleak.

Cangzimeng walked to the pavilion and sat down, looked at the sunset that was about to set, and asked Dai Yin beside him: "You say, if there was no riot, what would we be like now?" ”

Dai Yin also looked into the distance with her, and replied meaningfully: "If the princess of Beizhao did not fall in love with the prince of Nansheng, then the princess is still a child who will never grow up, and the prince is still the prince who is in trouble in Nansheng all day long for the throne." ”

She seems to be describing other people's stories, stripping Cangzi Meng from the identity of Princess Beizhao.

Cangzi Meng stretched out his hand towards the setting sun and tilted his head: "But there is no if in this world, everything that happens is inevitable, just like we will not be able to catch the sun that is about to fall, just like when we fly a kite, no one will know that its string will break." ”

Because of a kite, she saw Jiang Li from another country for the first time.

A glimpse of the storm finally became a nightmare in this life.

A year ago

When Cangzi Meng was playing with the palace maids in his palace, the string of the kite in his hand suddenly broke, and the kite fell outside. Cangzi ran out by herself without even thinking about it, and a group of palace maids behind her were chasing, for fear that she would accidentally fall, after all, that is a common thing.

But who knows which kite will just fall into the hands of a young man, whose eyes are as gentle as jade on the surface, but in fact there is a sharp long knife hidden behind his back.

Cangzimeng met it for the first time, and when she saw someone who still didn't salute, she ignored the little eunuchs who knelt on the ground and saluted her, crossed her hands and raised her chin and asked, "Who are you?" Why didn't you salute when you saw this princess? ”

That arrogant look, a spoiled princess.

A little eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground hurriedly replied: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this is the crown prince from Nansheng. ”

The young man smiled and handed the kite in his hand to Cangzi Meng: "This kite is yours?" ”

Cangzi Meng snatched the kite from his hand and stared curiously at the foreign prince.

"What's your name?"

"Jiang Li."

In the years of ignorance, it is easy to think about a small thing for a long time. For example, a person, an encounter, creates the beginning of a bad relationship.

Unconsciously, the sun set, and Dai Yin said: "The night is cold, Niangniang's body is just right, go back early." ”

Dai Yin sometimes wondered if she had stopped Cangzi Meng at that time and didn't let her pick up the kite that fell outside the palace wall, would there not have been such an encounter.

And she didn't know that there was no if, no possibility of doing it all over again. I even know that Cangzi Meng at this moment is no longer the delicate princess of Beizhao in the past. She grew up in an instant, and shouldered the consequences of what she had planted.

As soon as I walked to the gate of Nanyuan, I saw a maid anxiously greeted me: "Niangniang, you are finally back, the prince has been waiting for you for a while." ”

As soon as he heard that Yan Mingjiu was coming, Cangzimeng hurriedly restrained his emotions.

She thought, probably because she was too comfortable here, to recall such a shameful past.

"Is there something wrong with the prince coming so late?"

"When this king heard that you were awake, he came to see you and took you to dinner by the way."

He didn't say it didn't matter, as soon as he said Cangzi Meng, he felt hungry. I slept for a day and only drank some water, and when I woke up, I only cared about Li Rou's maidservant, and forgot to eat with Yan Mingjiu.

"Thank you for your trouble, let's go now."

Yan Mingjiu raised his eyes and looked at Dai Yin: "Help your mother clean up." ”

"Yes."

Cangzimeng's eyelids trembled, it was so troublesome to eat a meal, and he felt that his stomach was already hungry.

She was a little suspicious that Yan Mingjiu was deliberately fixing herself.

Dai Yin quickly helped Cang Zimeng put on an elegant makeup, it would be a waste of time if it was too troublesome, she knew that Cang Zimeng must have scolded Yan Mingjiu many times in her heart now.

Cangzimeng, who had packed up, stood in front of Yan Mingjiu: "Is it okay for the prince to look like this?" ”

A trace of surprise crossed the bottom of Yan Mingjiu's deep eyes: "Well, let's go." ”

Dai Yin will be inseparable from Cangzimeng's side, for fear that Yan Mingjiu will make Cangzimeng suffer some grievances. After all, I was seriously ill when I came back from a meal yesterday, and my health is not yet well.

After a while, Cangzimeng realized that the path he was taking was a little wrong, so he asked, "Lord Wang, where are we going?" ”

"The Imperial Palace."

"Aren't you eating?" I had to go to the palace after eating, but Cangzimeng suddenly wanted to refuse. Not for anything else, I just don't want to face any greasy emperor.

Yan Mingjiu seemed to have guessed Cangzi Meng's careful thoughts, and replied lightly: "At the dinner party, many people want to see the king's side concubine. "The shallow meaning is: don't want to run, you have to go!

Originally, for the banquet in the palace, if the prince and nobles brought their partners, they would definitely bring their wives, but Yan Mingjiu only had one woman.

Cangzimeng pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Look at you, you just want to starve me to death." ”

Yan Mingjiu in front heard it and didn't make any reaction. However, Nianbai next to him couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, thinking that Cangzi Dream was really interesting.

When they got into the carriage, they were the only two of them. The atmosphere will inevitably be mixed with some awkwardness. Cangzi Meng simply tilted his head against the wall of the car and prepared to sleep.

The journey from the palace to the palace takes about an hour, and if you don't want to be in a daze with someone, sleeping is the best choice, and if you can't sleep, pretend to sleep.

Yan Mingjiu glanced at Cangzimeng and said, "I'll pass by the night market later, do you need Nianbai to buy something for you?" ”

"Grilled chicken thighs!"

Cangzi dreamed with his eyes closed, and spit out these three words in an appraisal manner.

"Nianbai."

Nian Bai outside asked, "What does the prince command?" ”

"Is there a night market that sells grilled chicken thighs?"

"Yes, does the prince need it?" Nianbai would never be stupid enough to think that Yan Mingjiu wanted to eat, because there was still a Cangzi Dream sitting in the carriage.

"Hmm."

After a while, Nianbai sent two hot roast chicken thighs over.

Cangzi Meng suddenly felt that Yan Mingjiu was still a little human, and knew that he was hungry.

Two big and fragrant chicken legs, Cangzi Meng handed one to Yan Mingjiu: "Give it." ”

Unexpectedly, Yan Mingjiu didn't even look at it and said, "Don't." ”

"Alright then, you're welcome." Cangzi Meng's heart is happy, because it is all his own.

The chicken thighs are a little greasy, but in front of Cangzi Meng, who is so hungry that he can even eat the bones, it is not a problem at all.

The burnt yellow skin was smeared with a layer of sweet honey, and the fragrance spread throughout the carriage.

Remembering that Yan Mingjiu should not have eaten dinner, Cangzimeng was like a prank, so he moved closer to Yan Mingjiu's side, and brought the chicken leg he had bitten close to Yan Mingjiu's face.

"Does the prince smell the fragrance?"

The next moment, Cangzimeng regretted his unbeaten behavior.

I saw Yan Mingjiu glance at the chicken leg that had been bitten in front of his face, and after hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and grabbed Cang Zimeng's wrist to prevent her from having a chance to take it, and lowered his head and took a bite.

After that, he pursed his thin lips and replied: "Well, it's really fragrant, no wonder Concubine Ai likes it so much and runs out without anything." ”

Cangzi Meng was dumbfounded: "This ...... Lord, this is what the concubine has eaten. ”

"Hmm."

Well? This guy is just, huh? Cangzimeng was stunned when he held the chicken leg at the moment: "Isn't the prince not going to eat it?" ”

Yan Mingjiu raised his eyebrows: "Didn't Concubine Ai ask this king if it was fragrant?" ”

"But if the prince wants to eat, there is another one, this is the concubine's!" Cangzi Meng shook the chicken leg in his hand and declared his ownership.

I only heard Yan Mingjiu snort softly, with a vague smile on the corner of his lips.

"Oh, even you belong to this king."

Even she's his, let alone this drumstick.

Cang Zimeng did not hide her disgust at all, put aside the chicken leg that had been bitten by Yan Mingjiu in her hand, picked up another one and ate it, for fear that Yan Mingjiu would rob her again. While muttering: "I'm not yours, it's just a deal with the prince, and when the prince helps me avenge it, I will go to the world." ”

But that's what she planned, when Yan Mingjiu helped her take revenge, she would take Dai Yin to travel all over the world, find a good family to entrust Dai Yin to the past, and then wander the world by herself.

It's just that why did Yan Mingjiu's face darken on the side? Those bottomless eyes were full of gloom.
