Chapter Twenty-Three: Green Mountains and Green Waters, and the King
"Why, you still don't want to let Princess Ben stay here? I just have to watch you here. I'll go wherever you go, and I'll make you fall in love with me. ”
Ji Yucheng shook his head. Unexpectedly, this Xianbei princess was a little scary, so it was better to achieve her goal and send her away as soon as possible.
"Ji Yucheng, don't you want to stay in this mansion every day, can you go out with me?" Asai Bena took Ji Yucheng's hand.
"Princess, there is no such leisure here."
"I don't care, Princess Ben ordered you to go out with me." Asai Bena shook Ji Yucheng's arm vigorously and said in a coquettish tone.
In the middle of the argument between the two sides, the brush ink in Xi Yucheng's hand spilled on Asaibena's face.
Asaibena frowned, leaned over her little face, Nunu, and said, "No, help me wipe it clean." Since you don't want to hang out with me, you can still do this little thing. ”
Forget it, as long as she's no longer annoying, let's brush her mind first.
Ji Yucheng reluctantly reached out and gently wiped the ink stains off her cheeks.
"Hi Yucheng!" Suddenly, a woman's shout came from outside the door.
This voice........ Not good. Ji Yucheng heard the voice of the comer clearly, and hurriedly put down the hand on Asaibena's face.
But it's too late. The door of the study was open, and Ji Lianmei saw the situation inside at once.
Her voice trembled slightly: "You ........"
"Poor girl, just now Ji Yucheng has agreed to be my concubine, you have no chance." Asai Bena proudly hugged Ji Yucheng's neck, pretending to be intimate.
"Ji Yucheng, you come out, I have something to say to you." Ji Lianmei finished speaking calmly, turned around, and her heart was blocked as if she had been stabbed by something.
"Okay."
The two walked under the huge linden tree in the garden. At this time, the Bodhi tree is already lush and green, and the leaf patterns are still as clear and long-lasting as those memories, which seem more permanent in the run-in of time.
Ji Lianmei turned around, looked into Ji Yucheng's eyes, and said:
"Ji Yucheng, I like you."
"What?"
"I love the greenery in summer, the starry sky in autumn, the snow in winter, and I love all the good things, but they don't add up to one ten-thousandth of what I like about you. Ji Yucheng, I like you, do you like me? ”
Her eyes moved when she said this.
"Princess, if my previous behavior misled you, I am here to apologize to you......."
"Ji Yucheng, you just have to answer me, like it or not."
Now I'm surrounded by that person's eyeliner, so I don't want to kill you, I'm sorry, mercy.
Ji Yucheng was silent for a moment, and slowly spoke: "I don't like it, from beginning to end, I don't like it." ”
Ji Lianmei chuckled, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were already determined.
"If you like you, it's my will, and if you don't like me, it's also your choice. I don't grudge you, and I don't hold a grudge against you. After all, emotional matters are not something you and I can control. ”
She slowly removed the string of Bodhi beads from her hand and handed it to Ji Yucheng.
"You gave it to me, and now, it's back to its rightful owner. Since I have chosen to forget each other, I don't want to owe you anything. In this way, we are both clear. The feelings I have given to you, I will also take back little by little. ”
Ji Lianmei's smile was particularly hearty and relaxed, but Ji Yucheng saw her smile like this, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
"Since then, we will have green mountains and clear waters, and there will be no time in the future." Ji Lianmei flicked her sleeves and turned to leave.
The skirt fluttered, the wide sleeves fluttered, and the soft long hair gently brushed over Ji Yucheng's face.
He grabbed the girl's upper arm and pulled it hard. Ji Lianmei instinctively turned her head away because of the sudden pull.
Her lips touched the young man's cold and warm lips, warm and soft, like shaking grass across her heart, and there seemed to be pearlescent light shining between her always deep eyebrows. This kiss made her unload all her defenses and strength, and the tears that she held back in her heart burst out of her eyes.
"Ji Yucheng, you ......."
He stepped forward, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and kissed her lips again, the unfinished words were engulfed in the deep affection, and the kiss that fell was as light and warm as a person, but it was just as soul-stirring and moving.
It's like being in the clouds, dizzy but not real. I don't know how long it took for the two to reluctantly separate.
"I kissed you twice, this time, let you kiss back, so that we can really clear up." He smiled, stroked Ji Lianmei's slightly red and swollen lips, and said.
It was obviously a word similar to Grace's severeness, but how it came out of his mouth was so ambiguous now.
"Okay, let Yuruo accompany you back to Yanwang's Mansion. As for Tuoba Han's side, I will ask him out for you, and you go back and wait for my news. ”
In two days, the people of the Xianbei clan will be leaving, and if they can't find a chance to see Tuoba Han again, it will be even more difficult for Chonghuadian to overturn the case. But I just said those very backbone words, and now I accept his help, so where will I put my face......
After a fierce ideological struggle, Ji Lianmei relented.
"For the last time...... I owe you a favor, and in the future, I will definitely pay you back. Ji Lianmei's beautiful face turned red and replied in a low voice.
The so-called overall situation is important, face or something, if you lose it, you will lose it.
At the same time, Tuoba Han was hunting with Wu Jinggong in the West Mountain.
"Your Majesty's archery skills are really remarkable, but in one afternoon's effort, you can catch so much game." Tuoba Han got off the horse and helped Wu Jinggong dismount.
"Brother Tuoba, you are not bad, you are worthy of being a man from the Western Regions, and you have courage." Wu Jinggong smiled happily.
"Well, it's been more than twenty years since I last came here. At that time, His Majesty had just ascended the throne, and when I saw Your Majesty this time, I was still the same as I was back then. ”
"Since Brother Tuoba mentioned more than 20 years ago, I can't help but think of a concubine, although she has been dead for many years, but her appearance is still very clear in front of my eyes, hey, you and her have had a relationship, Brother Tuoba remember?" Wu Jinggong said to Tuoba Han as he gestured to the guards guarding the side with his eyes.
The guard understood, and felt for the short blade hidden in the cuff.
"More than 20 years ago....... Ever since I fell off my horse before parting, I don't remember a lot of things clearly. I don't know which concubine Your Majesty is asking? Tuoba Han didn't have any impression at all. ”
"Oh, it's just a trifle, Brother Tuoba, come, drink." Wu Jinggong motioned to the guards to retract the blade.
If Tuoba Han showed the slightest hint of remembering the events of the Chonghua Palace, he would be killed immediately by the guard.
Before long, the hunt in the West Mountains was over.
Tuoba Han returned to the wing room of the palace, and remembered Wu Jinggong's smiling expression, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
"Tuoba Han....", a clear voice came from the dark room. Tuoba Han looked into the room, and a young man with a clear face was sitting in his room, with a teapot in front of him, drinking tea slowly.
"Your Excellency is...... Inherit the king? I wonder why you came to my room late at night? ”
"Concubine of Chonghua Palace, do you recognize it?" Ji Yucheng's narrow eyes revealed a wicked look.
"Concubine? Chonghua Palace? I'm sorry, but I really can't remember anything about what happened more than 20 years ago. ”
"Hehe, Tuoba Han, you don't have to hide it in front of me. In order to escape the pursuit of Emperor Wu, you deliberately fell off your horse more than 20 years ago, and bought the imperial doctor to fabricate your amnesia, I'm right. ”
"You..... Who are you? ”
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I can help you get rid of Emperor Wu." Ji Yucheng walked behind Tuoba Han and patted him on the shoulder.
"Why should I trust you, how do I know if you are sent by the old thief."
"Tuoba Han, you have to trust me, don't forget, Princess Asai Bena is in my mansion now."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Princess Asaibena is the only child of you and your beloved wife, and Queen Tuoba died early, so you cherish Asaibena's daughter, the princess is in trouble, you will not be indifferent. In addition to this, the power of the Tiger Fu to mobilize the elite troops of the Xianbei clan is in the hands of Princess Asaibena. And she has not put a single soldier in my mansion and beside her until today. Once the Tiger Fu military power falls into the hands of others, the Xianbei clan will be vulnerable. ”
"So now, whether it's the princess or the tiger talisman military power, it's in my hands. It's impossible for you not to cooperate with me. ”
Tuoba Han looked up to the sky and smiled, applauding: "Good! What a seamless reason. Ji Yucheng, it is terrible to have such a careful mind at such a young age. ”
"It's over." Ji Yucheng said, after two days, I will arrange everything inside and outside the palace, as long as you tell everything in the Chonghua Palace in front of the civil and military officials, I can ensure that you can leave the palace safely. ”
Tuoba Han frowned, "Give me some time to think about it." ”
"Well, I hope Your Excellency won't think about it for too long."
If such a person grows into an enemy, it will be an even more terrifying existence than Wu Jinggong.
"Wait a minute!" Tuoba Han called out to Ji Yucheng, "Your Excellency, when the Tianhuo Pavilion gathers tomorrow, I will slowly tell you what happened." ”
Ji Yucheng smiled slightly, then climbed out of the window and left.
Early the next morning.
"Hey Ji Renmei, are you a pig? Do you still not get up after three poles in the sun? Ji Yutuo squatted on the edge of Ji Lianmei's bed, broke a dog's tail and scratched the tip of her nose.
"Hmm...... Don't make a fuss, let me sleep for a while, I'm so sleepy. Ji Lianmei turned over, without any intention of getting up.
"Don't sleep, there's a distinguished guest coming, get up and meet someone with me."
"Okay, okay, I got ......."
Ji Lianmei rubbed her sleepy eyes and complained in a low voice: Who comes to visit early in the morning disturbs people's dreams.
Just as she was half-asleep and half-awake as she moved to the antechamber at turtle speed, someone suddenly grabbed her from behind, and the hot breath hit her neck. Ji Lianmei woke up all of a sudden.
"Lu Youyuan, why are you here?" Ji Lianmei broke free from his embrace and questioned in a loud voice.
"Hehe, mercy, it seems that you ..... I don't want to see me. Lu Youyuan smiled bitterly, stepped forward and grabbed Ji Lianmei's hands, and his evil eyes showed a pleading look.
