Jiang Muyan faced Yixuan's question, and didn't know how to answer for a while. She knew that what Zhao Yan had done was not good, but compared to the suffering they had suffered in the past fourteen years, it was not so bad.
If you really want to talk about it, if it weren't for what Zhao Zhen did fourteen years ago, she and Zhao Yan would not have fallen to this point.
"Yixuan, are you questioning me?"
"Do you know how we've come through the past fourteen years? Every day, he and I are tormented. You have never suffered hardship, you don't know what a hard life is like, you are served every day with a high bed and a soft pillow, you are always on top. โ
"I didn't want to talk to you about that." Jiang Muyan took two steps back and lowered her head, "I didn't blame you for the suffering I have suffered in the past fourteen years, I thought we could still get along like before." โ
"Yeonyan ......" Yixuan reached out to pull her.
Jiang Muyan shook off her hand and sneered: "Don't pretend, let me tell you, in fact, I don't want to see you at all." Do you know why you're here? I didn't call you, it was him! Fourteen years, he hasn't forgotten you for a moment. I don't want you to be alone with him, that's why I'm here. โ
Yixuan stood silently.
Jiang Muyan actually regretted it a little after saying these words.
Actually, that's not what she thinks in her heart.
The moment she saw Yixuan, she was actually very happy. Although this happiness was quickly replaced by nervousness after she noticed the emotion in Zhao Yan's eyes, it was undeniable that it existed.
These fourteen years of life have taught her how to be a selfish person. A good person has no way to live in the palace, and she can't be a bad person with a clear conscience, so between the two, she chooses to be a selfish person.
Including possessiveness towards this man.
She could no longer tolerate having him with other women, nor could she tolerate having other women in his heart. He has slowly become the whole of her life.
"Yeon-yeon." Yixuan changed the subject: "Mrs. Zhang is sick, do you want to go back and have a look?" โ
Jiang Muyan was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened the next moment, and her voice trembled a little: "What's wrong with my mother?" โ
Over the years, she has almost cut off from her family, and her two children were sent out through General Kong's way and twists and turns. There were too many contacts inside and outside the palace that were easy to expose, and she didn't even tell the second elder that she was in the palace.
Mother is sick!
"Mrs. Zhang has been bedridden for two years, I have been to see her several times, and I have also asked the imperial doctor to treat her, but her condition has not improved." Yixuan's expression was sympathetic, "I'm just telling you, whether you go back or not, you decide for yourself." โ
After speaking, Yixuan turned around and walked away, closing her eyes in silence.
She really didn't know what Jiang Muyan had experienced in the past fourteen years, she just felt that her suffering was not a reason to do bad things.
If this knife was directly stabbed at her and Zhao Zhen, then she would have nothing to say, but it had affected so many innocent people.
She has taken care of Mrs. Zhang for Jiang Muyan all these years, and she has lived up to her friendship with her.
Jiang Muyan caught up and tried to pull Yixuan's hand, but she touched it and retracted it, and thanked her in a small voice.
Yixuan's footsteps paused slightly, and when she heard that she had nothing else to say, she continued to walk forward, and casually found a room to go in and close the door.
Jiang Muyan stood outside the room, looking in a trance. Zhao Yan patted her over and asked, "Do you want to go back?" โ
"Hmm."
A hint of relief flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes, and he said: "Princess Yu still has a friendship with you, as long as she speaks, people outside will not treat you well." โ
Jiang Muyan smiled bitterly.
Obviously, she just said so many hurtful things, but in the end, it still depends on her.
She felt that she was really shameless.

Yi Xuan casually entered a room, but she didn't expect there to be anyone. It's a big man with three big and three rough, and he sits there with a big knife and wipes his knife. The contours of his cheeks were sharp, his eyes were cold, and he had a long scar on his face, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he looked at Yixuan and looked at her coldly.
Yi Xuan was stunned by his back.
This benevolent brother has a good momentum.
Fortunately, the man took a look at her and dropped his eyelids, and continued to focus on wiping his knife. Yixuan didn't dare to talk to him, but somehow felt that this person was a little familiar.
But I can't remember where I've seen it.
Yi Xuan slowly walked towards him, pulled a stool and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea. โ
Kong Wu is the general Kong who guarded the dungeon in Nanyuan, although Yi Xuan has never seen him in real person, but he has seen his portrait. At that time, I thought that this person looked very special, so I paid more attention to it. And Zhao Zhen told her that Zhao Yan disappeared with Kong Wu.
Kong Wu couldn't help but react when he heard her call his name, glanced at her impatiently, and continued to wipe his knife.
Yixuan: "......"
It's really not a face-saving thing at all.
"The prince often mentions you. said that it was rare for him to meet an opponent of equal strength for so many years, but it was a pity that following Zhao Yan was overkill. โ
Kong Wu's impression of Zhao Zhen was not bad, and when he heard Yi Xuan's words, he couldn't help but think of the battle with Zhao Zhen, and fourteen years had passed in a flash.
He's also old.
"The prince praises falsely. Kong is not a big material, he is very dull, and he can't do anything except play with a knife. โ
Yi Xuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "General Kong is really a straightforward person. โ
Her smile was natural, her eyes curved into a crescent, as if he had really said something funny, making her laugh non-stop.
Kong Wu finally stopped wiping the knife and looked at her seriously.
From the moment she came in just now, he had discovered the courage of this woman like no other.
Ordinary people have to avoid walking when they see him, let alone women, even men dare not look at him. But from the beginning, there was no fear in the woman's eyes, she was simply curious about him.
Not only did she not turn to leave, but sat down very consciously and poured herself a cup of tea.
Speaking calmly, a smile gives people a comfortable feeling like flowing clouds.
Kong Wu seemed to suddenly understand why Jiang Muyan couldn't get into Zhao Yan's heart for so many years, and this woman didn't have to do anything to take root in Zhao Yan's heart for so many years.
From the very beginning, Jiang Muyan had no capital to compare with her.
"The princess is here alone, aren't you afraid?" Kong Wu asked.
Yixuan blinked, "I'm afraid." โ
Kong Wu: "......"
"The princess is so sure that she can go out to dare to come here." Kong Wu's tone was cold: "The princess's idea is nothing more than two kinds. One is that King Yu entered the palace to rescue, even if the princess is a hostage in our hands, Zhao Yan is reluctant to kill you. โ
Yi Xuan's eyes flashed slightly, and she said in her heart, you were so modest just now, you are not stupid at all.
Kong Wu continued: "The second is that you will kill Zhao Yan with your own hands, and then we rabble will naturally scatter as birds and beasts. โ
Yi Xuan was almost amazed at him, this person even thought of her plan to assassinate Zhao Yan.
She smiled and said nothing.
"However, I advise the princess not to overfill her abacus. Zhao Yan is reluctant to kill you, I will do it for him, if you kill him, you will definitely die. Kong Wu's eyes stared at her coldly, and his tone was gloomy.
The smile on the corner of Yixuan's lips slowly faded, and she looked at Kong Wu calmly: "Why?" You know very well in your heart that he will not kill you with the prince's appreciation of you, but if you kill me, you will completely cut off your retreat. โ
Kong Wu laughed contemptuously: "What is death to me? I, Kong Wu, am loyal to one person, and from birth to death, I am only loyal to him. โ
Yi Xuan didn't expect him to say such a thing, and his eyes changed a little.
"How did Zhao Yan treat you? You're so desperate to follow him. โ
Kong Wu's face was expressionless: "You don't need to know. โ
*
Jiang Muyan went back to pack her luggage, and Zhao Yan came to the door and knocked on the door.
Yi Xuan's conversation with Kong Wu was interrupted.
Zhao Yan looked at them with a smile and said, "What's wrong?" Don't talk when you see me? โ
"Nope. I just didn't say anything in the first place. Yixuan turned her head to look at him, "What about Yeonyan?" Are you ready to go back? โ
Zhao Yan also pulled a stool and sat down, "She's packing her luggage." It's just that Zhao Zhen outside is afraid that he will stop her. โ
"It doesn't matter. I wrote a letter for her to carry with her, and she could return to Jiang's house safely. Yixuan looked around, but didn't see the pen and ink, so she could only ask: "Where is the pen and ink?" โ
Zhao Yan smiled: "Next door, you come with me." โ
Yi Xuan glanced at him hesitantly. Zhao Yan's gaze made her very uncomfortable, although it was not a very aggressive gaze, but it always gave her a feeling that his gaze had never left her.
But some things have to be faced sooner or later, and she does have a lot to say to Zhao Yan alone.
"Let's go." She stood up.
The next room is Zhao Yan's bedroom, neat and clean, with the windows wide open, which gives Yixuan a sense of security.
Zhao Yan spread out the paper and polished the ink for her, and he stood behind her and looked at her when she wrote.
Yixuan felt uncomfortable.
I don't know where his gaze is, I don't know what thoughts are in his head right now, and I don't know what he will do next, but I can clearly feel his gaze, like a man's back.
Yixuan's pen went fast, and the letter was quickly written.
"Give this to Yeon-yeon." Yi Xuan took two steps to the side, folded the letter and handed it out.
Zhao Yan stretched out his hand to take it, and his fingertips rubbed against her fingertips.
Yi Xuan didn't know if he was deliberate or purely careless, and he didn't want to have a seizure because of this, so he just retracted his hand silently.
"Yixuan." He called out her name and looked gloomy: "Are you angry?" โ
Yixuan looked up at him.
The man looked sad and had sad eyes, but unfortunately she did not have pity.
"Yes." She nodded frankly.
"Why?" Zhao Yan's brows furrowed, and his tone became a little irritable, "Because of him? โ
