"Later?" A cold light flashed in Yang Jinqiao's eyes, and he said, "Later, I learned that he was not dead at all, but at that time, there was no chance to do it again." ”

“……”

I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart - "So, you finally waited for a second chance. ”

"That's right, it's on the execution ground where Liu Qinghan was executed!"

“……”

"It's a pity!" She gritted her teeth fiercely, with an indescribable hatred: "Actually, I missed it again!" ”

“……”

I listened to her silver teeth rattle, but for some reason, I laughed.

She looked at me and frowned, "What are you laughing at?" ”

“……”

But the more I laughed, the harder I laughed, and I even blushed at the end. I remembered the first time they assassinated Pei Yuanxiu, although they succeeded, Pei Yuanxiu escaped by mistake, and instead contributed to my marriage with him; The second assassination hit Han Ruoshi again, but by mistake it still missed, but it contributed to the marriage of Pei Yuanxiu and her.

Listening to me say those words as if in a joking tone, Yang Jinqiao's expression became more and more gloomy.

I smiled and said, "You guys, you really look like the Moon Old Temple!" ”

She looked at my slightly reddened eyes, the hatred in her eyes faded, but it seemed to float a trace of guilt, and after a long silence, she said softly: "If it weren't for us, if we hadn't missed, you probably wouldn't have to marry him." ”

“……”

"Then your life won't come to this point, right?"

“……”

My laughter stopped, but the person was in a trance, looked up at her, and after a while, smiled faintly.

Actually, not necessarily.

It may not be better, nor it may be worse, but I think back to that time, Pei Yuanxiu was almost in a desperate situation, and he still refused to give up on me, even if there was no arrow, maybe at another time, in another opportunity, I still couldn't escape, and he and I would have to experience that death and separation after all.

Many things in this world, every drink and peck, are predetermined.

I just don't know, having come this far, where will he and I go in the future?

……

This time, both men fell silent.

I don't know how long it took, the sky outside was dark, and the flickering light of the candle on the table filled the whole room, at this time, I suddenly had a little real hunger, just raised my head, Yang Jinqiao reached out and pushed the plate of snacks on the table in front of me, and when I saw me looking at her, he said softly: "I guess you must not have eaten much today, you must be hungry." ”

“……”

"Let's have a bit."

I nodded, picked up a piece of still warm osmanthus cake from the plate, and just brought it to my mouth, when I suddenly remembered something, and raised my eyes to look at her: "Today, did you know about the emperor's visit to the Yang family in advance?" ”

She nodded, acquiescing.

"You've already met?"

"Hmm."

"When did you meet?"

"It was that day, the day Liu Qinghan was executed."

“……”

I really didn't guess wrong, there was chaos in the execution ground that day, and after the arrow hit Han Ruoshi, I saw Pei Yuanhao immediately send people around him to search around, and it was at that time that they met again.

"And then?"

"And then?"

I took the pastry, although the sweet taste has been lingering on the tip of my nose, although I am indeed a little hungry, but at this time, there is no ** that must be eaten, my eyes gradually became a little hot, and I looked at her burningly: "What did you do after that?" Why didn't you contact me before, but after that, you brought me the arrow? You and him—"

Being looked at by me like this, Yang Jinqiao was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "I admit that the emperor - he has never forgotten you, even if he has not mentioned a word, but I can feel that over the years, he has not died to you." ”

My brow furrowed subconsciously.

She continued, "However, I am not anyone's knife, and I will not let anyone use it. ”

“……”

"I didn't disrupt your plans by sending you that arrowhead. Your daughter is by the emperor's side, and you have to go north, it is only a matter of time. ”

“……”

"I'm just worried that at that time, you and Liu Qinghan were together."

I looked up at her, "You mean, I'm with him, I'll go with him?" ”

"You won't," she said calmly, "I still know you very well about this." It's just that when you're with him, there will inevitably be some uncontrolled times, so you can avoid some accidents. ”

“……”

I fell silent.

Although, since I received that arrow, I knew that I was being urged, and even said that I was being charged, but when I heard her say this, I was inevitably a little angry.

I picked up the piece of dim sum and took a bite gently, the fragrance of osmanthus was very strong, sweet but not greasy, but I ate that bite, but there was a bit of numbness with chewing wax. After swallowing, I raised my eyes and looked at her gaze again, the temperature of my eyes became a little colder, and said: "Then now, I have arrived in the capital as you and as you wish, what are you going to do?" ”

She hooked the corners of her lips and said, "Don't be angry. Although, if the emperor wants you to enter Beijing, he must have his purpose, but I-I hope you enter Beijing, I just hope that you can leave that dangerous place in the south of the Yangtze River, and most importantly, I hope that you can leave Pei Yuanxiu's sphere of influence, and you don't think too utilitarian about me. ”

“……”

When she said this, I was a little speechless.

I can't deny that she was right to urge me to go on the road, and if I delay in Yangzhou, it's hard to say what accidents will happen; And along the way, Boss Wang was entrusted by her to take care of me all the way, which really saved me from a lot of worries; Even now, Pei Yuanhao didn't do anything to me immediately, which was already the best situation in my previous prediction.

I sighed, also to ease the atmosphere, and asked, "By the way, Mrs. Hanyu, is she okay?" ”

Yang Jinqiao's brows immediately furrowed.

I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"She's fine." Her brows were still tightly locked, and her eyes also revealed a few feelings of sadness, and she said softly: "She, she has always suspected that Yunhui's death was designed by the emperor, so she has not been able to let go of it all these years. Today, she was so impulsive! ”

"Then will the emperor condemn Mrs. Hanyu?"

"The emperor has taken away several businesses of the Yang family, I don't think he will do too much."

"That lady now—"

"I've talked to her, and she's remorseful now. Her father asked her to think about it behind closed doors in the past few days, and if the shape was wrong, let her go back to her hometown to hide for a while to avoid the limelight. ”

“…… That's fine. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, Mrs. Hanyu impulsively killed the emperor in order to avenge the "revenge of killing the son", that is a great crime to destroy the nine clans, Pei Yuanhao can spare her life, it can really be said to be an unexpected joy, but the king's heart is unpredictable, no one knows if he will still remember this matter, and how he will deal with the people of the Yang family in the future, it should be more appropriate to avoid this limelight.

I thought about it for a moment and asked again, "Then, what about Miss Jin Yao?" ”

She choked her breath and looked up at me.

I also looked at her, my eyes focused and hot: "Do you also know about Miss Jin Yao?" ”

“……”

This time, she fell silent.

As soon as I saw her like this, the faint uneasiness in my heart became more and more serious, and Zhengse asked: "Miss Jin Yao was divorced by Wu Yanqiu, and the emperor suddenly expressed his closeness to her today, what's going on?" ”

She was silent for a while, and said slowly: "The emperor should have planned to take away a few businesses of the Yang family a long time ago, but he and Yunhui have a deep friendship, and he can't bear to suppress the Yang family like this, so-"

"So, he intends to summon Miss Jin Yao into the palace?"

"Yes."

I nodded slightly.

In this way, on the surface, it is still very reasonable, although Pei Yuanhao wants to take back those few businesses, he does not intend to completely suppress the Yang family, and give some benefits, which is the usual method of the king. Choosing one of the daughters of the Yang family to the harem can maintain the favor of the Yang family, which is also one of his attitudes. It's just that Yang Jinqiao has been a "dead person" all these years, and she will definitely not be able to bear the emperor's favor, so the second lady Yang Jinyao has become the best candidate for the emperor to communicate with the Yang family.

It's just-

"Why don't you let the emperor give your brothers an official? This can also show the grace of Emperor Xiàn! I frowned and said, "Why do you have to let her into the palace?" ”

Yang Jinqiao's brows also furrowed, and there was some uneasiness in his eyes: "Because, I heard that she has always been reluctant to marry Wu Yanqiu." ”

"Huh?"

"This marriage is the order of the parents, and the interests of the two families are combined, and besides, there is the power of the queen over there, and she has no ability to resist at all."

I smiled dumbly: "So, the emperor has such a thought, and you didn't obstruct it, but helped him?" ”

“……”

"Have you forgotten what situation you were in when you were in Shangyang Palace? Why should Miss Jin Yao go through the same thing? Besides, her character is innocent and straightforward, where is the person who can survive in the palace? ”

Hearing my question, she also seemed very regretful, and couldn't help but reach out and hold her forehead: "I didn't think about this matter." ”

“……”

"But now—" she looked up at me, "what now?" ”

This is the first time I have seen Yang Jinqiao also helpless and helpless, but this incident is indeed different from others, Yang Jinyao's happiness in the second half of her life is all in Pei Yuanhao's thoughts.

Will she follow the old path of Yang Jinqiao and me?
