Why?

After hearing Jiu Ge's question, Gu Jiming's ink-colored eyes looked at the scroll hanging on the wall, every stroke on it made his heart very warm, as if he had returned to the ease and happiness of that day, looking at the fiery maple leaves, he seemed to be able to imagine Jiang Cailing's smile when painting.

Gu Jiming thought of Jiang Cailing, the cold look in his eyes changed, and his ink-colored eyes became gentle.

In fact, as long as you get along with Jiang Cailing for a long time, you will find the warmth in her, this warmth has not been erased because of the unsatisfactory life, on the contrary, the warmth reflected in her body is smart and clever, not the kind of kindness that is close to stupidity.

This is true in previous lives and in this life.

It has been said that those who fight the devil should be careful not to become the devil. When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you. [1]

In the struggle for power, he has seen too many people, from the beginning of the self-proclaimed justice to the people who dance with evil, and he has also seen many people who want to fight against fate but are trapped in fate and sink with it. They are all lost little by little in their own desires, and gradually lose their direction.

And she is the only woman who has not compromised her fate and has tried to maintain the kindness and justice in her heart. It's just that because of her special identity and mission, many people can't see her essence. And as long as you see this essence, you will feel more sorry for her and like her more.

On the day of the reception banquet, he saw a familiar look in Su Qingcheng's eyes when he looked at Jiang Cailing, which was the tenderness and appreciation when he looked at the person he admired.

This made him start to worry, a problem that he had forgotten. I still remember that Jiang Cailing once said that in the tsunami when they went down to Jiangnan in March, the two of them were swept into the sea and fell into Qindao.

Kotoshima, he had seen the name in the book. As long as the men and women who have worshiped heaven and earth on Kotojima will be together for the rest of their lives, even divine power cannot separate them. He would have laughed at such a legend, because he knew that it was nothing more than a romantic deception written by a literati.

But as the gears of fate began to turn, he gradually discovered that this legend had terrible power. The two who were supposed to be enemies were linked, they could speak calmly, and they could become allies with a very tacit understanding.

It is true that Zhou Guo, from the civil and military officials to the common people of Limin, all said that he was an extremely cold person. As a human being, his desires are destined to have joys, sorrows, love and evil desires, and he will also be sad, happy, fearful, and jealous......

Yes, he was jealous.

So when he heard the news of Jiang Cailing's arrival today, he thought of this method, he knew that she was here to find him, so he deliberately used the softness of Jiang Cailing's heart to act in the scene just now, the purpose was to deepen the guilt in her heart and stimulate her sympathy for herself.

He wanted her to be entangled in guilt and sympathy all the time, so that her heart would be full of him, and there would be no room for Su Qingcheng.

He knew it was despicable, and he didn't think much about it in exchange for her lifespan, thinking that if only she could come back to life. But people's desires are unlimited, and after recognizing Jiang Cailing after being reborn, they don't want to let go anymore, and they don't want her to become someone else's beautiful flower and add fragrance to other men's red sleeves.

A bitter smile rose on his lips, as if he was talking to himself, but he was asking Jiu Ge, "Do you think I'm selfish, I'm obviously a dying person but I still want to provoke her." ”

Jiu Ge didn't know that He Ling'er was Jiang Cailing, but he only knew that his adult had suffered a very serious internal injury, and his time was short, and he needed snow dragon ginseng to come back to life.

This was the first time that an adult had shown such emotions in front of him, and Jiu Ge didn't know how to answer for a while. He didn't have a family, and he didn't have a sweetheart, so he couldn't experience such emotions, but he had seen a lot of excerpts. Isn't the play in the script all played like that, one of the lovers will deliberately show empathy and farewell when they learn that they are terminally ill and will die soon, but often the other party will still know in the end that the last two people can only regret it for life.

At that time, he felt that the young lady in these words was too stupid, so he said to Gu Jiming, "Adults love Miss He deeply, and Miss He really likes adults, since the two of them like each other, where do they get so much hypocritical sadomasochism, isn't that sick!" ”

His eyes gradually calmed down, Gu Jiming raised his hand and opened the paper on the table, which was full of the relationship pictures of the characters in Nan'an City that Liu Minglou had sent in the past few days. Different from the relationship chart of high-class characters prepared by Jiang Cailing, Liu Minglou These are some small characters, Gu Jiming marked the people related to the Wang family and the East Palace on the paper with a cinnabar pen, and focused on a butcher with a big box, "You go and check this person, she will use it in a few days." ”

Seeing that the adults had returned to their previous strategizing appearance, Jiu Ge breathed a sigh of relief, and after looking at the portrait on the paper, he smiled and said, "Okay! ”

……

On both sides of the story, Jiang Cailing warned Liu Minglou not to tell anyone about her passage through the secret passage today, and then left the private room. As soon as I went out, I saw that the eighth prince was bowing his head and talking to Su Qingcheng, the two of them were tall and short, fat and thin, and their expressions were very serious.

Jiang Cailing remembered that as soon as they entered the door just now, the Eighth Prince looked like he was burning his buttocks, what happened?

"At noon, you are not afraid of getting dazed when you stand under the sun." Jiang Cailing walked over with a pot of herbal tea in her hand, and said with a smile, "Looking at your serious faces, could it be that you are dead?" Come on, sit down and cool off with a cup of herbal tea. ”

The Eighth Prince's body shook, "How do you know?" ”

Jiang Cailing didn't expect to be really stunned by herself, and her eyes couldn't help but look at Su Qingcheng, "Could it be that I really guessed right?" It seems that the art of Babel that I have recently practiced with the master has been quite effective. ”

Su Qingcheng knew that Jiang Cailing was playing tricks, but the eighth prince didn't know, the so-called sick and disorderly medical treatment, seeing Jiang Cailing fluttering, he could know the news that he strictly forbade the spread of the news, and his heart was suddenly full of respect, "The tenth brother and sister are still proficient in the art of Tongtian?" Can you do this prince a favor? ”

Jiang Cailing said incomprehensibly, "I know a little bit about fur, the so-called heavenly secret cannot be revealed, and it depends on what His Royal Highness wants me to help?" ”

The Eighth Prince lowered his voice and leaned into Jiang Cailing's ear to say something. Before his mouth was close to his ear, he was separated by Su Qingcheng's one hand, and he leaned over and whispered to Jiang Cailing, "Let me tell you, it's that the Eighth Emperor Brother found a dead body in the post house early this morning, his face was unrecognizable, and the time of death was last night, we asked the guy here Ah Cai and the head of the guards, but they didn't find that there was anyone missing from the guests." ”

Because the envoys live here these days, they are heavily guarded, and it is impossible for a corpse to fall from the sky. Jiang Cailing narrowed her eyes, she had a very strong intuition, this matter must be inextricably related to the Wang family and the East Palace.

The purpose behind them is also very simple, it is nothing more than to use this corpse to make a fuss, let Emperor Chu know how wrong it is for him to temporarily replace Luan Wenzhi, so as to belittle the ability of the Eighth Prince and Su Qingcheng, and also make the civil and military officials realize Luan Wenzhi's ability.

Of course, this is Jiang Cailing's speculation, if she really wants to find the real culprit behind the scenes, then she must first abandon her so-called intuition.

Jiang Cailing said to the Eighth Prince, "Does His Royal Highness want me to figure out who is behind the scenes?" ”

The eighth prince nodded, the flesh on his face trembled, thinking in his heart that this tenth brother and sister was really powerful, he didn't even say that he wanted to help him with anything and was guessed by her, it can be seen that the ten brothers and sisters are really proficient in the art of heaven!

Jiang Cailing raised her eyebrows, "Okay, but take me to see the corpse before the divination." ”

"What?" The eighth prince's face was pale, he never thought that this tenth brother and sister would ask to see the corpse, "I said that the corpse was very bloody, and this prince was worried that you would not be suitable for your younger brother and sister." ”

Jiang Cailing didn't want this Eighth Prince to follow, and seeing that he was cowardly, he deliberately scared him and said, "I have to talk to the ghost to find out who killed him, otherwise I can't help it!" Your Royal Highness, don't be afraid for a while, although he died very miserably, he generally does not harm the living. ”

When the eighth prince heard this, his spine was cold after a while, and he held his stomach with both hands and said, "I, my stomach is suddenly a little uncomfortable, tenth brother, you go with your younger brother and sister first, and the imperial brother will go later!" ”

Looking at the chubby figure who fled in the wilderness, Jiang Cailing's expression of pretending to be a ghost faded, and she raised her eyes and said with a smile to Su Qingcheng, "It's just scared away, let's go in." ”

When I walked to the door of the house where the body was parked, there was a sudden strong wind, and the leaves flew in the air, and the dark clouds covered the sky in an instant.

Suddenly, Jiang Cailing suddenly felt a cold hand, and when she lowered her eyes, she saw Su Qingcheng holding her hand with an awe-inspiring face, and said, "Don't be afraid." ”

Jiang Cailing felt the other party's cold hands trembling body, and couldn't help but sneer, her cheeks were dyed crimson by the smile, and her long and curved eyelashes were stained with tears from laughter, "Su Qingcheng, don't tell me that you are also afraid of ghosts?" If you're scared, don't force it, I'll go in by myself. ”

Su Qingcheng's face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and he raised his neck high and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm worried that you will be afraid that a girl will be afraid to lead you." ”

Jiang Cailing couldn't help but smile, "Then thank you so much, this girl doesn't bother you to hold me." ”

As he spoke, he shook off Su Qingcheng's cold hand and strode into the room.
