282 Determined to Succeed
In the afternoon of summer, the towering ancient trees are full of birdsong, and the quiet stream reflects the dazzling light and shadow flowing slowly.
The man was dressed in an indigo robe with arrow sleeves, and the posture of holding a bow and arrows in his hand was stalemate for a long time, and the slow breeze blew, only blowing his long eyelashes, and a flustered footstep not far away disturbed the birds near the water's edge, and after the fluttering sound of spreading his wings, the hoofheart in front of the man suddenly and steadily inserted a large arrow feather.
The man is Helianjing, he hasn't seen him for a few months, and every inch of his tough face seems to be resolute and ruthless, just waiting for the footsteps to come closer, Helianjing bent his eyes and smiled coldly, and when he turned around again, he was facing the person who came up with extraordinarily gentle eyebrows and eyes, and his whole body was also clean and refreshing that did not match it.
"How do you.."
"Brother Jing!"
Without waiting for Helian Jing to carry out his surprised expression to the end, the woman in front of him threw herself into his arms without any scruples, with a layer of tears in her eyes, hugging Helian Jing's waist tightly, but she was still very uneasy, as if this person would disappear from his side.
"Yining, what's wrong?"
"Brother Jing hasn't written to Yining for a long time.."
The girl named Yining raised her head in Helian Jing's arms, and looked at Brother Jing with tears in her heart, only Helian Jing frowned, glanced at Yining's plain white filial piety clothes, and couldn't help sighing, and hugged people in distress..
When Yining saw this, tears welled up in his eyes... Her grandfather is the Zaifu of the Beidou in the current Western Qi court, and her father was sent to the border to garrison after the war in Helian Jing, and she is the only child of the thousands of noble ladies in the palace.
The days should have been as beautiful and smooth as Yining imagined, but in her young years, there were two unexpected things, one was Helian Jing, who had the grace to save her, and the other was that her father had an ordinary wind chill two months ago, but he died suddenly in a few days!
"I'm also afraid that Lord Zaifu will be angry.."
"But... But our grandfather will know sooner or later, is it difficult to prevent grandfather from being angry, and Brother Jing won't want Yining? β
Yining hugged her tighter after speaking, buried her head and couldn't help crying, talking about Helian Jing's alienation from her, she was also wronged!
Xiqi Zaifu has always taken care of Helian Jing, one is for the late queen's mother, and the other is because the prince of Xiqi is cruel and unkind, which makes the people panic, although Zaifu has the authority to act as the government, but after the prince killed the two princes in a row, he had no choice but to protect the remaining heirs for the saint.
A month ago, although Zai Fu was in pain, he still didn't forget to plan for Helian Jing, and wanted to find a father-in-law with military power in his hands, but he didn't want to. His beloved granddaughter suddenly ran to him, saying that she liked Helian Jing very much, and she would marry her as soon as the filial piety period passed.
"People who have nothing, how fortunate they are, how can they not cherish it if you like it."
"Brother Jing.."
Yining suddenly burst into tears and smiled, and her thin white face was slightly reddened, Helian Jing has always been as warm as jade to her, but she rarely said such sweet words, and she didn't look like him anymore.
"Okay, crying and laughing, what kind of system has it become."
"It's Yining who is rude."
Yi Ning obediently took out the reserve she had left behind, took two steps back and wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, but there were still tears hanging in the corners of her eyes, which was really pitiful and cute.
"How did you get out today?"
"Naturally, I walked out of the mansion step by step!"
Yi Ning said word by word with joy on his face, and Helian Jing finally smiled, revealing a thoughtful look, as if he was figuring out the meaning of Yi Ning's words. Sure enough, Zai Fu was resolute outside, and in the face of this precious granddaughter, he had no choice but to compromise.
"Brother Jing understands?"
"It turns out that my Yining is a heroine who does not lose to Zaifu."
Helian Jing turned to the side what Yining said, and kept stirring the handkerchief between his fingers, everything can be decided. Helian Jing stepped forward and gently ran the broken hair around Yining's ear, and the dazzling sunlight shone on the curvature that slowly pulled out the corners of his lips.
"Brother Jing makes fun of me, I... I'll ignore you. β
"Slow down."
Yining pretended to be angry and walked away, although Helian Jing did not forget to care, but she knew that she was in a hurry back and forth, she must have taken advantage of Zai Fu's busy affairs and slipped out of the house step by step, like Zai Fu's old pedantic, even if he couldn't do it, he would never allow his granddaughter wearing filial piety clothes to have a secret meeting with Helian Jing in private, and then it was said to be a secret song, what kind of system!
When he couldn't see Yining's figure again, Helian Jing suddenly recovered his indifferent expression, turned around and looked at the vast sky in the distance, and sneered after a while, his eyes faintly revealing a madness...
"What a stupid thing."
"What? Is it stupid to like this king? β
Helian Jing still looked motionless when he heard this, but his voice revealed a majesty that he had never had before, and the woman who walked out of the house was charming and lazy step by step, raised her eyebrows and looked at Helian Jing, lowered her head with a smile, put her hands on her waist and bowed.
"Isn't that a stupid thing?"
"You're not stupid."
Helian Jing suddenly turned around as he spoke, and smiled meaningfully, this woman who was standing next to him and was also called Yiyi, was one of the concubines of the Shangshu of the Western Qi Household, and she was not favored in the house!
At the beginning, she came to Helianjing with the Hubu Shangshu, that is, her father's fake account, seeking a future that could trample the family under her feet, but she later learned that Helianjing had those things for a long time, and the money was inexhaustible... I don't know why I was interested in her in the slightest.
"It's time for the king to wake up."
"I was so frightened that I had to sleep well for two days."
Helian Jing said sarcastically, and then sneered, what the prince did in the palace two days ago naturally made a fuss, and the East Palace intended to cover it up, but at that time, the prince seemed to be fainted, and he was really messing around inside and out.
"But I heard that although His Royal Highness the Ei King's injuries have avoided the fatal point, they are not lightly injured."
"It's a shame."
Helian Jing's body has become thinner and thinner recently, but a pair of eyes are amazingly bright, he does not shy away from showing the long-suppressed impatience here, life is really ironic, like the prince, the king... Such a high-ranking person, now he is here, but he is also like an ant!
"Or Lord Zaifu is as stable as Mount Tai, and he took the guard who witnessed everything into custody, but he really wants to be more serious with the crown prince to the end, but that guard, will it be His Highness's people?"
"It's not."
Helian Jing turned her head disapprovingly and looked into the distance, smiling, staring at the resolute side face of the person in front of her, she believed this, who doesn't want to live, if the king is killed at that time, the current certainty is that the only witness is pushed out of the top bag.
"That.. I wonder how His Highness will reward Lord Zaisuke? β
"Dead end."
Yiyi carefully put a smile between her lips, and Helian Jing confirmed her guess so lightly... Also, Zaifu's power in the court is unmatched, and with protΓ©gΓ©s all over the world, it seems that there is indeed no better candidate for queen than Yining.
"Then His Highness will settle Yiyi like this?"
"Under the Zaifu, above the Shangshu Mansion."
Helian Jing stared at Yiyi's eyes with a hint of murderous intent, how can it be passed down in the same vein, how can his temperament be better than the prince, but whether he should believe it or not, he doesn't know, so as long as this woman keeps her own name, it can be.
"Your Highness! Only His Highness.. Is that really the ambition to win? β
"Nature."
Helian Jing couldn't help laughing, his rare eyebrows stretched, he was already quite a king, the years were like a shuttle, he still had the ability and confidence to have this idea, but for him, it was June.. Everything is still too slow!
West Qi East Palace.
The eunuch who came to report in the palace cried with joy, thinking that the prince would be as excited as him when he heard the news of the awakening of the Emperor of Xiqi, but this master just sat on the bed, staring at a cloth silk hairpin in his hand, and his nails were pinched and faded red.
"Get out!"
"What?"
The prince of Xiqi clenched his teeth tightly for a long time before a word popped out of his mouth, and the eunuch thought that he had heard it wrong, but it could be seen that the prince's chest was rising and falling more and more rapidly, and he glanced at the servant beside the bed and hurriedly rolled away.
"My lord.."
"Go on!"
The confidant servant looked loyal, and knelt on the ground with his own shirt in pain, and the muscles around the prince couldn't help but stiffen when he saw this, and he gasped for two breaths tremblingly, until he put the hairpin on his face to calm down.
"Will it be the king? Or.."
"If the prince has something... Those people all had to be buried with them, what are they! β
After the prince of Xiqi burst out with almost some fear, he didn't have the courage to continue, and suddenly saw his henchman and servant crying sadly, and the whole person fell back weightlessly, and even his head was no longer painful when he hit the bed frame, but he still held the cloth silk hairpin tightly in his hand.
The prince of Xiqi thought that he would wake up and face the fierce words of Lord Zaifu, or worse, but he never thought that it would be so bad as in front of him, and the imperial doctors went crazy to strictly investigate the East Palace, because the prince was poisoned, highly poisoned, and it was difficult to return..
"Master, the Holy One has woken up... We.. Zai Fu has already entered the palace, thinking that he is protecting the Fifth Highness like that, will he? Wrong wrong! No, it's not a relative, what talent can the Fifth Highness have, it's just a bedbug that everyone pities! β
"yes.. It's all bed bugs.."
The crown prince smiled bitterly, and still said in a sympathetic tone, as if he would always be the noble prince of the East Palace of the Western Qi Kingdom, but why, his expression was still mixed with a touch of sparseness and calmness.
The world is bustling, all for profit. The world is crowded, all for the sake of profit.. There is a sentence that was said by the servant right, Zai Fu Yu Helian Jing, and now it is really not a parent!
