The room where hot water was put in preparation for Himenomiya to bathe and change clothes was filled with a dense atmosphere, and the moisture from the hot water was steaming throughout the room, and a touch of mist was thick. Ji Gongyan leaned on the edge of the wooden barrel for bathing, propped his hands on the edge of the barrel behind him, looked at Bao Xi and lowered his head and whispered, "Thank you." ”

"Thank me for what?" Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan and asked, she entered the door behind him, just closed the door of this room and walked towards Ji Gongyan, with a shallow smile on her face, but this kind of smile turned people away, which is more embarrassing than making a big noise, she doesn't seem to care about the harm that Ji Gongyan has done to herself, if she doesn't love too much, or she doesn't love at all, Ji Gongyan has no confidence in himself at all, he didn't dare to look up at Bao Xi, turned his back to her and dragged his clothes off his body," Thank you for saving me enough face in front of Bofu. ”

"I didn't think about leaving the palace." Bao Xi said behind Ji Gongyan, and stepped forward to take the clothes in his hand, "But since Bofu has taken me out, if I forcibly bring Bofu back, I am afraid that this child's heart is outside, and the king can't tie him, so he simply asked him to look at the princes and see what may belong to him in the future, so he can know that this responsibility on his shoulders is heavy." ”

"Before leaving, the words you said were still ringing in my ears......" Ji Gongyan took his hand and circled around his temples, the expression on his face was very bitter, "I shouldn't have doubted you at all, I even went to question you, if you cry and quarrel with me today, I can bear it and admit it, but you don't, to put it mildly, you swore that day that day that you threatened with your life as if you had never been born, I have no place in your heart, Or are you already so disappointed in me that you don't want to give yourself any new hope. ”

"I was too reckless that day, in fact, there are some things I told you earlier, there is no need to have so many misunderstandings at all," Bao Xi untied Ji Gongyu's wide clothes, and he had to turn to her again, stretching out his hand to let her take off the heavy and dirty clothes on his body for himself, "What I wanted to say that day was that the king sent Sima Yongzhi, Qin Bo Yingkai, and Zheng Shizi to attack Shen and Chu Erguo, originally to set a trap for Sima Yongzhi, so that he could flee out of the city and then plant the blame, With the method of Yu Shi's father to Wen Shuo that day, he used it on Sima Yongzhi's body, and thoroughly investigated the courtiers and courtiers of Yu Shi's faction, and the concubines knew this matter well, why did they go to kill Shen and later ruined the king's situation? ”

When Ji Gongyan heard Bao Xi's words, he was taken aback, "Do you know about this?" ”

"How can I not know, I have been by your side for eight years, and there are tens of thousands of things that I have decided with you, how the king arranges, I just can't see it very accurately and thoroughly, but I can always see one or two of them, but Rao is so, I still can't think that the original king ordered the Chu State to attack Shen, and it turned out that it was just pretending to be like this, and the real purpose was actually on the Qin State, but I didn't expect it." Bao Xi told me eloquently.

"No," Ji Gongyan shook his head, "It was indeed my idea to ask the State of Chu to pretend to form an alliance with the State of Shen, but I made this idea because the State of Shen learned of my layout in advance and led the State of Qin into this game, I always thought that ......" He didn't say any more when he said this, this made Bao Xi smile reluctantly, "Have you always thought that I said this matter?" ”

Ji Gongyu bowed his head and was silent.

"Does the king know why I didn't get angry at the end?" Bao Xi took off all the clothes on Ji Gongyan's body, patted his arm gently, and told him to enter the warm water, Ji Gongyan turned around and rolled in, splashed a splash, lay in the water and looked up at Bao Xi and waited for her to continue, "Because the king once said a sentence, if you don't love me, how can you doubt me so much?" Even if you doubt me, you will give me everything. Even if you know that I may be the one who leaked the secrets of the palace, even if you know that I may really be ruthless to the child in Xiuxiu's womb, the life of Empress Shen, and the life of Mrs. Chu, you still want to protect me, don't you? Even if you overwhelm the ministers, you want to save my life, don't you? The king has already done this, and the concubines no longer have the luxury of anything else! As a king, a woman should always bear something that others can't bear, otherwise why not marry into the worldly people, and she will naturally be able to enjoy herself in this life. ”

Ji Gongyan looked at Bao Xi, a thousand words surged in his heart, he wanted to tell her about her longing, wanted to talk to her about the misery and loneliness in the palace these days, and wanted to talk about the pain after he knew that he had misunderstood her...... But in the end, these thousand words were only combined into one sentence, "I'm sorry!" ”

Bao Xi shook her head, bent down and pressed her cheek to Ji Gongyan's cheek, her hand holding his, as if she could feel the king's uneasiness because of a woman, "Thank you, king." ”

"From now on, the widow will never ......" Ji Gongyan wanted to swear to Bao Xi, but Bao Xi did not let Ji Gong Yan continue to say this, but kissed his lips and tongue, no one can say anything about the future, no matter what oath Ji Gongyan wants to make, it is difficult to say whether it will change with time, after all, the world is impermanent, if one day this love is really gone, Bao Xi still has to use a man to swear a sea oath to tie up this person whose heart no longer belongs to him? She didn't want to do this, so she didn't ask him to say this, and the smart Ji Gong was clear, and took back this oath and treasured it in his heart, he wanted to say that he would never fail her, and he wanted to say that he would do his best to take care of her in this life...... He also felt that there was no need to say these words again, he just needed to tell himself, and then try his best to do it for the rest of his life, that is, to sacrifice his life one day, and he must also save his wife and children.

Sweeping away the tiredness and dirt on his body, Ji Gongyan felt that the whole person was a lot more relaxed, not only on his body, but also on the boulder in his heart had been unloaded, lying on the bed that was not luxurious in this Qin Mansion, looking at the wife lying in the crook of his arm, his heart seemed to be filled, and he leaned on Ji Gongyan's arm tiredly, and she couldn't sleep, her eyes were very bright in the night, flashing with bright light, "King? ”

"Huh?" Ji Gongyan turned sideways, turned his face to look at Bao Xi, raised a hand and gently played with her green silk, "Why don't you sleep yet?" He was also extremely tired, the fatigue of the journey for days and the body that had just been excited, his brain was a little wooden, but this feeling of excitement was wrapped around his whole person, as long as he closed his eyes and remembered the situation at this moment, he was excited and couldn't sleep at all, which was precious and regained, and this was the warmth of home.

"Xiuxiu's matter, the concubine wants to ask." Bao Xi hesitated for a moment and asked.

"You haven't mentioned it, and the widow still thinks that you haven't gotten the news about this matter yet, and is hesitating how to tell you." Ji Gongyan said, paused for a long time at this point, and then said, "It's the widow who lost Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu hurt you, she boasted that she couldn't live with your past kindness, and she didn't have the face to see the widow again, so she had to die." He didn't tell Bao Xi the truth, he was afraid that Bao Xi couldn't bear this truth, and Xiuxiu didn't tell Ji Gongyan about this truth, what she was afraid of must be that Bao Xi couldn't bear it, many people don't understand who Xiu Xiu loves?

If it is a dug, why should she dig and reject it for thousands of miles.

If it is Ji Gongyan, her cleverness and stupidity are often contradictory to the extreme.

Xiuxiu loves the praise who once pulled herself in helplessness, and she felt hated and separated because she felt worthless for Ji Gongyan's humble love. Whether this is really the case or not, it has not been admitted by Xiuxiu in person, everything is just Ji Gongyan's speculation, "When Xiuxiu left, he left a will, asking the widow to chase you." ”

"If she hadn't said it, wouldn't the king have come?" Bao Xi asked.

"No......" Ji Gongyan quickly shook his head, "At first, I thought you were in northern Jin, although I knew that you were stunned by Bofu and taken out of the city, but when you woke up, you didn't ask Bofu to drive back to Haojing, I thought you didn't say it, but you complained about the widow in your heart, you went to Jinbei, I thought you were looking for Zheng Boyou's protection, and I thought you finally took the widow away from your heart." The widow was in despair, and when the father of Yu Shi was wiped out, he was very hesitant to recall Zheng Boyou from Jinbei, I am afraid ......" He held Bao Xi's hand and put Bao Xi's hand on his chest, Bao Xi nodded, expressing his understanding of this fear, Ji Gongyu continued, "As soon as Xiuxiu dies, it is reasonable for Zheng Boyou to come back with you, no matter how many misunderstandings and resentments there are between us, as long as we see people, we can think of ways to redeem you." But Uncle Zheng came back, and the widow knew that you were not in Jinbei, and I almost thought that you were taken captive, and you were almost going crazy. ”

Bao Xi put her head on Ji Gongyan's chest, "I owe Xiuxiu." ”

"It's none of your business, the affairs of men and women, the widow has never been able to handle it well, since this is the case, the evacuation of the entire harem is, and I will never give you such grievances in the future." Ji Gongyan hugged Bao Xi and said, "Don't refuse the widow, ask the widow to do something for you, do you know that I accept your favor, how sincere and fearful, your waves do not surprise me I have almost lost all confidence in myself, and I am full of only one thing, that is, I don't know if my Bao Xi still loves me?" I don't know if I'm still worth your love! ”

Bao Xi's tears fell down her cheeks, Rao did more psychological construction for herself in the past, telling herself that it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how Ji Gongyan treats herself, the most important thing for a family is tolerance, but when she heard this, she still cried, crying hysterically, crying very emotionally, beating Ji Gongyan's chest with her hand, whimpering in her mouth as if she had been an accusation of injustice to herself over the years, he hugged her tightly and gave her strength with his solid arms, "Go home with me?" ”

"Uh-huh......" Bao Xi said in a muffled voice.

"Leaving tomorrow?" Ji Gongyan asked again, he couldn't wait to take Bao Xi away, but he was afraid that if he delayed for a while, Bao Xi would have to change his mind, Bao Xi stopped crying, and asked in a sobbing voice, "Actually, the king doesn't have to come to Qin State in person at all, send someone to deliver a letter, and Bofu and I will naturally go back." ”

"Xianggong sent the lady back to her mother's house, have you ever heard of the Xianggong of which family called someone to ask for a word, and the lady will obediently follow this person home?" Ji Gongyan asked, this made Bao Xi burst into tears, and gently slapped Ji Gongyan's chest twice, and then fell into a deep sleep, this is the most comfortable night she slept in the past month, with a husband and a son, what more can she ask for in this life?
