After all, Jiang Zhige sent Acacia with only a bouquet of flowers, and then went back to the City of Tianjin.

The strange thing is that for some reason, this way, as if someone was specially protecting her, was safe all the way, and she arrived at the city of Tianjin smoothly.

And when she arrived at the Zhiqin Hall in the City of Tianjin, she saw that Ye Shengji had already stood in front of the palace gate with a gloomy face, guarding Jiang Zhige and throwing herself into the net.

As soon as Jiang Zhige came in, he saw Ye Shengji, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Ye Shengji shouting: "Come back!" ”

"Alas......"

Jiang Zhige sighed, turned around helplessly, and looked quite pitiful.

And when the snow fell on the side, he didn't dare to squeak, so he could only act at the opportunity.

"Where did you go?"

Ye Shengji asked with a cold face.

"Just walked around the neighborhood......"

Jiang Zhige pushed a handful of falling snow and replied weakly.

"Nearby? How close is it? I've turned over the whole long street, and I've turned over the whole palace, and it seems that there is no shadow of you? ”

Ye Shengji squinted Danfeng's eyes, took a step closer to Jiang Zhige, and said as if he was a little angry.

"Forget it. Today isn't the twilight of my birthday, so I'll just go to the Forest of Heavenly Trees......"

Jiang Zhige couldn't hide it, so he could only recruit honestly.

But I heard Ye Shengji shouting: "Come on, drag the falling snow down and hit fifty boards!" ”

"Ye Shengji! What are you doing? I'm going to the Forest of Heavenly Trees and pull up the falling snow! What is she doing! ”

Jiang Zhige saw that Ye Shengzhen was serious, and hurriedly stopped in front of Luoxue and shouted unfairly.

"I can't control you, can I still control a subordinate?! Listen, Luo Xue made private claims, connived at your behavior, deceived your superiors and subordinates, and almost caused you to lose your life, this is the punishment! ”

Ye Shengji showed no mercy, and scolded the falling snow!

Luoxue slowly lowered his eyes, "Plop-" knelt down, and said in a low voice: "Luoxue knows that he is wrong, and please punish His Majesty." ”

"You know everything?"

Jiang Zhige hesitated for a moment before he realized why this road was so peaceful, it turned out that Ye Shengji sent someone to protect him, so how many points did he probably have for that beautiful woman?

"Come on, drag the snow down! Fifty rods! ”

Ye Shengji pretended not to hear Jiang Zhige's words, and still angrily scolded Luoxue.

Jiang Zhige stopped in front of Luo Xue, and couldn't bear to say: "It's not that you don't know that Luo Xue is desperate to protect the master, why do you have to punish her again and again?" ”

"Her job is to keep you safe, and if it weren't for her, you wouldn't have caused trouble. How can you say that you have made meritorious contributions?! ”

Ye Shengji was angry and accused Luo Xue and said.

"Ye Shengji, you are wrong. All people are equal. There is no one who was not raised by his parents. And no one has to protect anyone, and take it as their duty. I never thought so, and I didn't treat falling snow as a slave. I hope you respect me too. ”

Jiang Zhige's tone was not heavy, but the words fell like a stone in Ye Shengji's heart.

Ye Shengji frowned and asked incredulously, "Do you think that people are born equal?" Is there no difference between an emperor and a commoner? ”

"Yes. There is no difference. All are flesh and blood people. No one should be subservient to anyone. No one is supposed to do anything for others unconditionally. Therefore, the falling snow is already benevolent and righteous for me. ”

Jiang Zhige calmly said what she was thinking.

She knew that her ideas had shocked Ye Shengji.

"Miss Jiang, don't say it. Falling snow is willing to be punished. ”

Luo Xue was already so scared that she kept begging Jiang Zhige, afraid of angering Ye Shengji.

Ye Shengji fell into silence, his eyes narrowed, as if he was pondering Jiang Zhige's words.

All around, there was a deathly silence.

In his world, it is a matter of course to punish a slave or maid. What's more, this slave and maid have made a big mistake.

But, it seems, what Jiang Zhige said is not entirely unreasonable.

After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "For your sake of begging for mercy for this slave, then it will be twenty boards." Needless to say. There will be a next time, and it will be given directly to death. ”

After that, in the falling snow: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then she dragged her down, and began to punish her with a rod outside the temple.

"Ye Shengji, do you have to be like this?"

Jiang Zhige felt very tired, and she asked Ye Shengji the reason a little irritably.

"Because. She's the only one who watches over you. I don't want you to make any mistakes. That's all the reason. Only if she is faithful and she is strong can she protect you. Do you understand? Therefore, if you feel sorry for her in the future, you will have less trouble with her. ”

Ye Shengji was also angry, and said very sternly.

"Can't I protect myself with my own strength?!"

Jiang Zhige shouted almost hysterically!

Her eyes were already red, and she didn't understand what it meant for him to imprison her like this for so long! Even, why did she attract inexplicable killings as soon as she left the palace!

"No, you can't. Because, the enemy who wants you to die is far more powerful than you. I can only desperately buy time and do what I can to protect you. ”

Ye Shengji sighed deeply, and still expressed the bitterness of this.

"What ......? Want me to die? Why? ”

Jiang Zhige didn't know who she had provoked when and when she had provoked it, and her eyes were incredible.

"Remember before Twilight died?"

Ye Shengji sighed deeply, slowly lowered his head and asked Jiang Zhige.

"Yes. Never forget. What's wrong? ”

Jiang Zhige didn't understand what this had to do with Chi Dusk's death.

"When you are in danger today, do you seem to have seen twilight?"

Ye Shengji continued to ask helplessly.

"I think I heard his voice, but what's the connection?"

Jiang Zhige asked inexplicably.

"Because, it's not your illusion, it's the soul of the twilight, in your body, guarding you. And his blood is the blood of all beasts, so he condensed his soul into soul light and left it in your body. ”

Ye Shengji said slowly, and there was sadness in his eyes.

"Soul light? What is that? ”

Jiang Zhige asked inexplicably.

"Soul light is a mysterious and powerful force. However, at the same time, it can also attract unnecessary right and wrong. For example, if it is determined at the beginning of today, there are many people who covet this power. That's why I'm imprisoning you in the palace. But, it seems, this day will come sooner or later. ”

Ye Shengji bowed his head helplessly and said.

Probably, even Chi Twilight himself didn't expect that his sacrifice would be the beginning of another suffering.

And, it can't be stopped.

"What ......"

Jiang Zhige stumbled, looking down at herself in disbelief, but felt that she was just no different from ordinary people......
