I was very surprised to hear what Yang Jinqiao said about the past.

Regardless of whether she and Yang Yunhui are related by blood, it's just that in outsiders, or in my long-term consciousness, they are a pair of brothers and sisters.

When I was in Shangyang Palace, although I met their brother and sister, I didn't feel anything, I just felt a little strange, Yang Yunhui went in and out of the room of the younger sister who was the prince's concubine, and he was too free, but he didn't think much about it. But now that I think about it, what he said to me when he was in Yangzhou, when I asked him what he was asking for, he told me that when Pei Yuanhao became famous, I would know.

Now, it has been many years since Pei Yuanhao became famous, and I really understand that what he wants is nothing more than a single-minded person.

I fell silent.

After Yang Jinqiao finished saying those words, her face was only faint, as if all the past events that had made her painful, laughing, happy and sad were only stored in memories, but in my long silence, she seemed to feel something, and said calmly: "If you think it's unusual, it's nothing." ”

“……”

"Originally, it had nothing to do with you."

She smiled faintly, as if nothing had happened, and calmly looked at the white veil flying in front of her.

It's just that there is not the slightest smile in those eyes, and it seems that frost has also condensed.

Looking at the eyes covered with long eyelashes without the slightest warmth, I suddenly felt a little funny, who I want to like is my own business, and it has nothing to do with others, or even - it has nothing to do with the person I like.

It's just that there are so many people who want to dictate to other people's feelings, who they should like and who they shouldn't like; Who should I marry, and who should I not marry...... One by one, they claim to be judges, but how much do they actually know?

Thinking back to what I had told in the fishing village, I smiled and said, "It really doesn't matter. In the words of one person, even if you control the heavens and the earth, you can't control people's hearts. ”

Yang Jinqiao looked back at me with a slightly shocked expression on his face.

"You can't control the heavens and the earth, and you can't control people's hearts......" she muttered this sentence, and her eyes seemed to reveal a lot of bitterness. After a while, a smile flashed on her face, and she said, "I guess, this is what Liu Qinghan said, right?" ”

This time, I was shocked: "You, you know the light cold?!" ”

"He is a celebrity, Fu Badai's high-ranking disciple, a hero who put down the rebellion, and a favorite of the emperor."

“……”

"I just don't know if his identity can help him tide over the difficulties this time."

What does "......" mean?

"In particular, he was injured."

"What?!" I only felt that my brain was buzzing, and the whole person was stunned, and hurriedly grabbed Yang Jinqiao's wrist: "What did you say?" He's hurt? How could it get hurt? Is it strict? ”

She looked at my panicked appearance, but was a little surprised, and said, "I heard that the palace took water and poured a large hall, and he happened to be hit by a falling beam and pillar inside, so-"

“……”

A pang of pain hit my heart.

He's hurt!

The towering fire of the Jixian Hall that night will still appear in my dreams until now, but I never imagined that he would be injured. At that time, he had already fled with me to the terrace near the water, and even if the fire really spread, he still had a lot of places to hide, how could he be hit by the collapsed beams?

I hurriedly asked, "What about him now?" Are there any dangers? ”

Yang Jinqiao looked at me and said calmly: "I don't know how the specific injury is, but there should be no worries about my life." ”

I slowly let go of the hands that grabbed her hands, only to feel my heart beating like a pound and a cold sweat.

Looking at my distracted appearance, Yang Jinqiao was silent for a long time before he said in a strange tone: "It turns out that you and him are really ...... Matter. ”

I looked up at her.

"You're so daring."

"......" I was still a little trembling, but I couldn't help but say, "Compared to you, it's nothing." ”

"Heh......" She seemed to think it was ridiculous, so she really laughed, picked up the white veil in front of her and looked outside, the two of us have been chatting here for a while, and the guards around are still like stone pillars, without any movement. She put down the light veil again, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, he has no interest in me, but it is just a means for my father to win him over, and a person like him is naturally very sober." Besides, at that time, there were many beauties in Shangyang Palace, there were not many more me, and there were not many less me. ”

Recalling that at that time, his concubines, although they were not as beautiful as the three thousand beauties in the harem now, were also beautiful, in contrast, Yang Jinqiao was indeed not a too outstanding concubine.

"I said that you are bold, it is he who has a heart for you, and you still dare!"

I kept my mouth shut and didn't speak.

If it were normal, I would definitely sneer, but now that I know the news of Qinghan's injury, I can't laugh at all, like a big stone pressing on my heart, I just feel uncomfortable depressed.

Yang Jinqiao looked at it for a while, as if he also understood, and did not speak again.

For a moment, the two men fell silent.

The people around still didn't make any sound, only the wind blew through the lake in the valley, and the bursts of moist water finally made me sober up a little, looked at Yang Jinqiao beside me, and I said calmly: "I really didn't expect to see you here again, in fact, I have something that I have always wanted to give to you." ”

"Something? What is it? ”

"Actually, it's not mine, but - Chang Qing wants to give it to you."

As soon as she heard Chang Qing's name, she shuddered, and her calm eyes rippled like the lake behind her. After a moment of silence, she spoke in a hoarse voice: "He- I know him, already-"

"When he was in Dongzhou, he led his troops out of the city to fight, and he knew that he would definitely die, so when he went out of the city, he left a golden hairpin and handed it to Yang Yunhui, asking him to hand it over to you, and said-"

"Say what?"

"He said that he knew that you faked your death because he was afraid that after he helped the emperor to win the throne, he would use his military exploits to beg you, and he asked Yang Yunhui to sue you, he would not force you, and he would not embarrass you. Only, as long as you remember, use what he sent you. ”

"The golden hairpin?"

"Yes."

I turned my head to look at her pale face, the corners of my eyes were slightly red, as if something was constantly surging in those calm eyes, but I slowly closed my eyes and covered up all the qiē.

After a long time, she opened her eyes, and she regained clarity, but when she spoke, her voice was a little hoarse: "What about the hairpin?" ”

I hurriedly said: "I've been keeping it, but this time - I was in too much of a hurry to leave the palace and didn't bring it with me, and now - if they haven't cleaned up my things, they should still be in Yihua Palace." ”

"Yihuadian ......"

She read these three words slowly, and muttered in a trance, "I'll let someone pick it up." ”

……

This time, I didn't speak again, just looked at her with a somewhat complicated gaze.

Although I had just met her and didn't talk much, I realized something from her words, such as-

She was in the palace and installed her own people.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know Qing Han so clearly, the relationship between Qing Han and me, the fire in Jixian Palace, the injury of Qing Han, and even, she could let people go to Yihua Hall to take out things!

When she faked her death and left the palace and took all the people with her, didn't she just want to cut off all contact with the people in the imperial city? And Yang Yunhui is dead, she has nothing to do with those people and things, why are she still arranging people in the palace?

Who is the person she arranged?

I felt something in my heart, and suddenly my breathing was a little disordered, but fortunately she had been thinking about something at this time, and didn't pay attention to me, and after a while, I felt her own breathing slowly calm down, and then, she turned her head to look at me.

That gaze was also calm, but it was different from the previous calm, and there was a chill in this calm.

My heart sank more and more, and it was in this silence that I heard her speak, and said coldly: "What you want to say, have you finished speaking?" ”

I nodded.

"Now, then, I have a question for you."

"......," I said dryly, "you ask." ”

"How did he die?"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from the other side of the valley with a whistling sound, and suddenly blew the surrounding white veil high, as if a person's messy heartbeat at this moment.

"He—" I opened my mouth, but I couldn't speak.

How he died, indeed, there is no better way to know about it than to ask me, for I have seen with my own eyes how the sword pierced his heart, and watched his blood gush outward, and could not be stopped; It was also me, guarding him to say his last word, to take his last breath.

It is precisely because of this that I am even more speechless.

Yang Jinqiao stared straight at me, and his eyes revealed a bit of sharpness like a needle: "It's that Huang Tianba." ”

“……！” I looked at her with wide eyes.

By the way, I was not the only one who was there when Yang Yunhui was killed, Luo Shi forced Huang Tianba to kill Yang Yunhui, originally so that he could not stand in the Central Plains, and there were many prisoners who witnessed that scene, and those people were all released by Luo Shi, and it was not difficult for Yang Jinqiao to inquire about the original matter.

But why did she ask me if she knew?

I raised my head to look at her with some doubts, Yang Jinqiao gritted his teeth and said, "Huang Tianba's account, of course I have to settle it with him." ”

When I heard this, I hurriedly said, "He was also forced!" ”

Yang Jinqiao looked back at me.

I was a little trembling: "He was forced by Lotsh, and the two of them - in order to save me, they led the army deep into Shengjing, and were caught by Lotsh, I-I-"

Yang Jinqiao's face became ugly, and he was silent for a long time, and said, "I know." ”

“……”

"But what I need to know is not this, but the truth."

“……”

I looked at her cold eyes with some trepidation, only to see her gritted her teeth and said, "Before he went to Dongzhou, he once sent me a letter. ”
