After a tense dinner, Zhao Yan drove back to Yuqing Palace. Yi Xuan had something to tell Zhao Yan alone, so she sent him all the way out of the Floating Cloud Palace.

Zhao Yan listened to what she asked for, didn't think much about it, and nodded happily.

Zhao Yan's imperial chariot was parked outside the Fuyun Palace, and Zhao Yan sat on it and was about to take off, when he suddenly heard the girl calling him.

"Your Majesty."

The voice was a little soft, revealing hesitation.

Zhao Yan turned his head sideways, staring at her with dark eyes. The halo of the palace lamp is like a dark yellow mist, in this mist, only these eyes, quiet and cold, dull and uninteresting.

Yi Xuan stepped over the crossbar and walked to him, and said softly, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, happy to have the dragon heir." ”

Zhao Yan was slightly stunned.

Yi Xuan smiled, her face gentle, "It's getting late, Your Majesty will go back to accompany Concubine Ning earlier." I also asked someone to wrap up the venison that His Majesty personally roasted, and His Majesty brought it back to Concubine Ning to eat, and she would definitely be happy. ”

This tone ...... made Zhao Yan feel in a trance. He reached out and tried to shake her. Yixuan took a step back, lowered his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty walks slowly." ”

Zhao Yan didn't speak, stared at her for a long time, and finally closed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair with an expressionless face.

Yixuan watched the emperor's guard of honor leave, and then turned around and went back to the house. As a result, he didn't take two steps to find Zhao Zhen leaning against the pillars of the verandah, staring straight at her.

Yixuan suddenly panicked.

In fact, she didn't do anything, she was absolutely innocent with Zhao Yan, but when Zhao Zhen looked at her like this, it was as if she had done something wrong.

"Let's go back." Yixuan rubbed her eyes and said sleepily.

Zhao Zhen took her hand and didn't move.

"You just passed, what did you tell him?"

The man's voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't know if he was standing here and being blown by the cold wind.

Yi Xuan smiled helplessly, "I just congratulated him on having a dragon heir, this is not okay?" ”

"Then why are you so close?"

He watched as Zhao Yan's hand stretched out and almost touched her.

He breathed a sigh of relief when the girl avoided it.

"Because," Yi Xuan whispered mysteriously, "Concubine Ning didn't publicize the news, there must be her plans, I don't want to be too public." ”

I see.

She's really empathetic.

Zhao Zhen smiled, and tapped his fingers on her head, "Stay away from him, you know?" ”

Yi Xuan raised her hand to rub the place he had just knocked and gave him a blank look, "I'm far enough away." ”

Sometimes she looked at Zhao Yan, her heart was sour inexplicably, and she had to endure it if she wanted to go up and say two words.

The identities are different, and the suspicions that should be avoided must always be avoided.

However, she still regards Zhao Yan as a friend and sincerely hopes that he will be well.

Early the next morning, the crowd gathered outside the hunting ground. Yesterday's show was just a small test, and today is the main event.

Zhao Yan came late and brought a bald monk. The monk was white and thin, and he was tied up with five flowers.

Who is this monk?

I heard that King Yu brought a monk here, could it be him?

Zhao Jinxiu recognized at a glance that the monk brought by Zhao Yan was Jinghai, and his face was not very good.

Her body shook, Zhao Jinyi hurriedly supported her, and asked worriedly: "Sister is not feeling well?" ”

Zhao Jinxiu shook his head.

"This monk is extremely evil, a few days ago in Wanfang Temple, Princess Yu fell into the water and was killed by him."

There was a little commotion in the crowd.

Princess Yu made a big fuss when she fell into the water in Wanfang Temple, and the capital was boiling. As a result, the reputation of Wanfang Temple has plummeted, and the incense has been depressed a lot.

Pregnant women, in particular, would rather go to a small Buddhist temple to worship the gods and Buddhas than go to Wanfang Temple.

It turned out to be the princess Yu who was harmed by this little monk!

What a sin!

Zhao Yan glanced back at his entourage, who escorted Jinghai to a wooden stake and tied it tightly with a rope.

Everyone didn't quite understand what Zhao Yan was going to do.

"I want to admire your archery skills. If any of you can shoot an arrow into the heart of this monk, it will win. I may grant him a reward. ”

The eunuch pulled a chair, Zhao Yan sat down, looked at everyone with a smile, and asked, "Who will come first?" ”

As soon as the words fell, someone stepped forward and bowed his hand, "The minister is willing to give it a try and help Princess Yu out of this evil breath." ”

Zhao Yan nodded, "Okay." ”

Yixuan walked up to Zhao Jinxiu and said hello with a smile.

When Zhao Jinyi saw her, he asked very puzzled: "When my sister-in-law came to our house last time as a guest, she brought Jinghai with her, why did she suddenly kill him today?" ”

Yixuan sighed: "I wanted to spare his life, but he didn't know each other, and he repeatedly spoke out of his arrogance, and I really couldn't bear it." ”

Zhao Jinxiu was stunned for a while, and Yixuan called her: "Sister." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Jinxiu smiled.

"Sister thinks, is it right or wrong for me to do this?"

She looked very humble and asked Zhao Jinxiu for advice.

"It is only natural that murder pays for life. His sister had already forgiven Jinghai, but he didn't know him, and he repeatedly offended his sister, so naturally there was no reason to forgive him. ”

Yi Xuan smiled and said, "That's good." ”

Zhao Jinxiu was stunned.

That's good......

What is the meaning?

I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it.

She guessed that Princess Yu made such a move to test her.

If she intercedes with Jinghai, it will be clear that she will tell Princess Yu that she has a relationship with Jinghai.

She's not that stupid.

It's best if Jinghai dies, she still has one less thing to worry about.

The general just now stood outside the red line, drawing his bow and arrows, and the arrows in his hands could be shot out at any time.

There was silence below.

Most of them are royal relatives who enjoy wealth and prosperity, so it's okay for them to hunt and kill...... The confidence is not enough.

Everyone sweated.

At the last moment, Zhao Yan stood up and said to everyone with a smile: "Just kidding everyone, General Ni, put down the arrow." ”

He had already found the man, so it was absolutely impossible for this arrow to be shot.

Just to cooperate with Yixuan, I want to see if Zhao Jinxiu will intercede at the moment of life and death in Jinghai.

It's so quiet down there, it doesn't seem to be.

General Ni put the arrow down and stepped aside.

Everyone was a little sluggish.

What?

Joke?

This kind of joke early in the morning?

Your Majesty's mind is really becoming more and more unpredictable.

Zhao Jinxiu was even more confused.

A matter of her heart that she thought was going to be settled, not only did it not end, but it seemed to have become more serious.

Wen Yixuan, this little girl, has a lot of thoughts.

The corners of her lips curled slightly, and she sneered silently.

"Sister-in-law, this ...... What's going on? Zhao Jinyi touched his head and stared at Yixuan suspiciously.

"Nothing, like Your Majesty said, just kidding you." Yi Xuan explained to him randomly.

“……”

Yixuan asked Jinghai to loosen his bindings, and then brought Jinghai back to Fuyun Palace.

Jinghai is a little lost and depressed.

Yixuan asked him: "Why, she didn't intercede for you, you are very disappointed?" ”

Normal people, when they are betrayed, will feel angry and eager to immediately expose the hypocrisy of the betrayer.

But Jinghai did not.

He was more disappointed than angry.

For what kind of people will this be?

For example, lovers.

Jinghai glanced at her with a cold expression. Yi Xuan smiled nonchalantly and continued to ask, "Do you like her very much?" ”

Jinghai is a monk, so it's not good to ask him like this, but Yixuan doesn't like to beat around the bush.

Jinghai was really annoyed, glared at her angrily, and then turned his head away, simply out of sight and out of mind.

He is a monk, how can he be tempted by a woman?

Moreover, this woman still has a husband, a wife, a wife!

Naked insult!

Yixuan smiled, "No, it's not, if you don't say it, how do I know what you think in your heart." ”

The two sat in the courtyard, and a jar of wine was placed on the stone table, and Yixuan personally poured him a bowl and pushed it in front of him, "When you're in a bad mood, just drink some wine." If you don't know how to say something, drink some wine, and the words will pop out on their own. ”

Jinghai stared at the wine bowl in front of him, hesitantly picked it up, and was about to put his mouth down. Suddenly, Yixuan touched him with a wine bowl.

"Thank you for your hard work today."

Yixuan drank half a bowl of wine.

Jinghai gritted his teeth, raised his head and took a sip, the wine trickled down the corners of his mouth, he wiped it with his sleeve, put one arm on the stone table, and hung his head.

"Yes, I thought I was going to die."

His voice was muffled, hoarse and muffled in his throat.

"Didn't we say we were going to make a show......

Jinghai smiled miserably, "It's okay." But I can't help but wonder if you really want to kill me, princess...... Actually, it doesn't matter if you kill me, I should have died a long time ago. ”

He gritted his teeth, his expression a little fierce.

Yixuan was dumbfounded, looking at him, not knowing what to say for a while.

She didn't expect that Zhao Jinxiu didn't intercede for him, and it would hit him so hard.

Unexpected.

Jinghai poured himself a bowl of wine, put down the wine jar, and sighed heavily.

"Willing to gamble and lose, what do you want to know, I'll tell you all."

"Then, tell me first, who are you Zhao Jinxiu?"

Jinghai raised his eyes and looked at her with interest.

Well, she really didn't want to gossip about Zhao Jinxiu's affair with Jinghai, she just felt the need to understand.

Jinghai's identity, how did Zhao Jinxiu know? Why do you want to find Jinghai?

Just to get rid of her?

She thought it was unlikely.

Jinghai took a sip of wine, "Actually, the county lord is kind to me. ”

"Back then, my father asked the jailer to take me out, and I met the Jinyi guard in the palace, and I was caught as a fugitive. At that time, Zhang Qianyuan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was the father-in-law of the county lord. It was the county lord who interceded for me, and Zhang Qianyuan turned a blind eye and let me escape from the palace. ”

Jing Hai looked at the sky expressionlessly, his expression a little dazed.

"After that, I was taken in by Master. The county lord also often came to see me, would sew clothes for me to wear, and would bring her own food to see me during the New Year's holidays, often staying for a month, sometimes longer. ”

Jinghai closed his eyes in some pain, and the scenes of the past reappeared in front of him, the county lord in his memory and the current ...... As if not alone.

That gentle, kind, warm and warm person like a spring breeze is one of the few moments of brilliance in his dark life.

Now, even this has been annihilated.

His life is really-

Awful.

"That day, the county lord came to me and said that I had a chance to avenge my dead parents and brothers."
