Lu Jiayue believed.

She believed that the King of Jin would deliberately neglect to take precautions, so that the people of the King of Wei would have an opportunity.

The Sacred Heart may forgive the King of Wei for playing with power and being insatiable, but it will not forgive the King of Wei for killing his siblings.

A prince who kills his siblings, if he ascends to the throne in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not slaughter all the other princes.

Use your own wounds to exchange the grace of the Sacred Heart, and provoke the Sacred Heart's suspicion and disgust of the King of Wei.

The so-called wealth and danger are mostly so.

What's more, what King Jin wants to seek is the throne of the emperor, and the risks he takes are even more.

Lu Jiayue suddenly felt that although King Jin was a prince with an incomparable status, he also had his unknown bitterness and helplessness.

After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "Are your injuries healed?" ”

"It's fine, but it's just an inch-wide scar..."King Jin's eyes also had a faint light in the darkness, the night wind blew, and his voice was soft and calm, "At that time, the blood kept gushing out, I thought I was going to die... I also regretted in my heart whether it was because I was too blindly confident, thinking that I was strategizing and everything was under my control..."

"Jiayue, you know what? It turns out that when the tip of the knife pierces the body, it doesn't feel anything... It's just that when I see the blood coming out, I feel scared..."

He called her name suddenly.

Her heart throbbed inexplicably.

It was dangerous at the time, as you can imagine.

It was only then that she really felt scared.

“... In the future, you should stop doing such stupid things that put your life at risk, after all, life is the most important thing. Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, and if your life is gone, there will really be nothing. ”

He smiled.

"If you admit to worrying about me, I won't do anything stupid."

... Again.

Lu Jiayue didn't answer him.

After thinking about it, he asked him: "What is the result of the matter of the two lakes?" ”

King Jin sighed faintly.

"When I arrived at the two lakes, the dikes were being repaired and strengthened everywhere, but most of the time they were cutting corners, replacing sand and gravel with rotten wood and floating earth... Jiang Chaoyong, the political envoy of the two lakes, knew that the general trend had gone and there was nothing to hide, so he simply took the initiative to surrender to me, and explained carefully how he colluded with Hu Chong'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to be greedy for ink. After returning to Beijing, I sorted out all the evidence and presented it to my father... Now Hu Chongan and Jiang Chaoyong have been removed from their official positions and imprisoned in Dali Temple. It's just that Hu Chongan has always refused to admit that King Wei was involved in the greed for ink, and only Jiang Chaoyong's testimony is better than nothing. ”

"In fact, my father didn't know in his heart that Hu Chong'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was the confidant of my second imperial brother... Although Hu Chongan did not confess to my second brother, my father was as clear as a mirror. However, my father once praised me greatly, saying that I had been very effective in supervising the embankment of the two lakes..."

Lu Jiayue was very disappointed.

After such a lot of effort, it still had little effect.

“... Then the king of Wei wants to hurt your life, how did it end? ”

King Jin hesitated slightly, and said lightly: "Uncle Guo has already presented the testimony of that person to his father, and my father has seen it and has not made a decision for the time being, but he has greatly snubbed Sun Guifei and King Wei's mother and son... My knife was not in vain. ”

That's fine.

It seems that the King of Wei is gradually losing his sacred heart.

"Are you happy?" King Jin suddenly asked Lu Jiayue.

Lu Jiayue nodded in the dark.

“... Then are you willing to tell me, how did you suddenly think of asking me to intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of Works and the two lakes? ”

This is not a difficult question to answer.

"When I was just at home, I occasionally heard my uncle mention that the household department has to allocate millions of taels of silver to the Ministry of Industry every year to build embankments for the two lakes, but every year they are repaired, the two lakes still suffer from floods every year, in fact, who can't see the knots in it? I asked people to inquire again, and Hu Chong'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was originally a confidant of King Wei, so he understood everything. ”

King Jin smiled and said, "You're smart... In fact, it was a coincidence that I was able to do this, as soon as I begged my father to go to the governor of the two lakes, he agreed... In the past, he didn't allow me to interfere with manual affairs. ”

Lu Jiayue couldn't help but rejoice in her heart, and said with a smile: "It seems that the Sacred Heart has become more and more trusting of His Highness..."

"Huh?" King Jin said with dissatisfaction, "Why do you call me Your Highness again?" Call me by name. ”

Lu Jiayue couldn't help but be stunned.

His name...

She has lived for two lifetimes, and she doesn't even know which prince is ranked first and what kind of royal title she is holding, but where do you know his name?

He chuckled softly, "... Yuan Xi, my name. ”

Yuan Xi.

Is it because he was born in the early morning, when the sun is shining?

He smiled again: "You are right, when my mother gave birth to me, it was the time of the bright light. ”

Lu Jiayue couldn't help but be stunned.

Why did he guess her thoughts in the slightest?

King Jin burst out laughing.

Lu Jiayue was a little embarrassed.

I suddenly remembered that I had been in this deep ditch with him for a long time.

"Your Highness, will anyone really come looking for us?"

King Jin didn't answer, and said with a smile: "You call my name, and I will answer you again." ”

Lu Jiayue was angry, but she didn't speak.

Look up like in the night sky.

The inky black night sky, vast and immense, with a little starlight, twinkling in the far sky.

Under this firmament, how small and insignificant are mortals and all things...

King Jin suddenly asked her, "What are you thinking?" ”

Lu Jiayue smiled lightly: "I'm wondering, how many strange and unknown things are in this world. ”

"Like...?"

Lu Jiayue lowered her head and looked at the blurred face of King Jin in the dark.

She didn't say it.

Who would believe in the absurdity of rebirth?

It's better not to mention it.

Suddenly there were shouts in the distance.

Most of them called "His Royal Highness King Jin," but Lu Jiayue clearly heard someone calling her.

"Little girl, where are you? Girl! ”

It's Ding Can.

Lu Jiayue quickly stood up, responded loudly in the direction where the voice came from.

"Second uncle, I'm here! I am here! ”

In just a few moments, countless torches lit up the night sky, and a man and a woman under the deep ditch were also clearly illuminated.

"Stay there and don't move, wait for me to come down!"

Ding Can's voice was full of surprise and urgency.

The soldiers were carrying torches and looking for a way downhill.

Ding Can was the first to run towards Lu Jiayue.

Under the firelight, the little girl had red circles under her eyes, and there was expectation and grievance in her eyes when she looked at him.

The emotions in his heart were surging like a wave, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he hugged her into his arms.

"Are you alright... Are there any injuries...? ”

Lu Jiayue was hugged tightly by Ding Can, and his body was full of melancholy like the smell of agarwood incense, wrapping her whole body.

It still makes people feel comfortable and stable.

But this embrace, this person, all belong to another woman!

But holding her, what is it?

Is it just the love of the elders for the younger ones?

Lu Jiayue put it on Ding Can's waist and wanted to hug him back, but she took it back silently and restlessly.

buried his face in his arms, and said angrily: "Second uncle, I'm fine... I wasn't hurt. ”

Ding Can still hugged her tightly and tightly in his arms.

He was so afraid of losing her.

If she really disappeared into the middle of nowhere, never to be found, he thought he would go crazy.

Fortunately, fortunately, she was safe and sound.

On the side, King Jin's eyes were scorching, and he saw Ding Can's mind through.

The soldiers with torches came up to help him, but he pushed him away.

He walked forward slowly and bowed to Ding Can.

"Thank you Uncle Guo for coming to solve the problem..."

Ding Can still hugged Lu Jiayue tightly in his arms, his eyes were cold, and he looked at King Jin silently.

Under the blazing firelight, King Jin smiled modestly.

But Ding Can saw jealousy and provocation in the depths of King Jin's eyes.

Lu Jiayue turned her head in Ding Can's arms and looked at King Jin.

Suddenly I felt that something was wrong...

"You're lying to me again! Lie to me again! ”

She looked at King Jin who was standing steadily in front of her, pointed to his left ankle, and screamed.
