Concubine Lian listened to Cai Wei's words and was silent without speaking.

But Cai Wei could see that there was a strange feeling in Concubine Lian's eyes, and she waited for a while before she asked cautiously, "Niangniang, what do you say we should do?" Shi Niang and Leng Yan don't help, so let's let it go? ”

Concubine Lian sighed slowly, "Maybe Leng Yan is right, Ji Gongzi has already dealt with it." ”

"Will it?" Cai Wei didn't want to just give up, "It's so sudden, and now there are only three days left, I'm afraid ......"

Concubine Lian felt that her mind was very messy now, and waved her hand to tell Cai Wei not to speak, "Let's take a look at the situation first, if the emperor really wants to punish the crime at that time, I will be ...... If you lose the identity of the concubine, you will definitely keep him. ”

"Niangniang......" Cai Wei was a little anxious, this was not the result she wanted, if Concubine Lian lost her position in the palace because of this, wouldn't she steal chickens and rice?

But Concubine Lian was obviously very irritable at this time, so she simply closed her eyes and refused to have any communication with Cai Wei.

In the Yanyu Pavilion, as soon as Ji Zhongli got the news that Lianshui and they were leaving, Jiang Yingning woke up his door.

"Brother Li," Jiang Yingning blinked wide-eyed, "won't disturb your rest?" ”

Ji Zhongli put down the book in his hand and motioned for the little girl to sit opposite him, "Say, what's wrong?" ”

He guessed that Jiang Yingning came at this time, it should be because Lianshui left the palace without permission, but the little girl didn't take the initiative to mention it, and he didn't plan to say it.

After all, he'd now handed over the Dancing Spirit Alliance.

"Hehe...... Jiang Yingning sat down and shook her two slender and straight legs, "Actually, it's nothing, I just can't sleep, I want to talk to someone." ”

"What are you talking about?" Tonight's Ji Zhongli is extraordinarily patient.

Jiang Yingning suddenly turned her head and asked with curiosity on her face, "Brother Li, why did you choose Lianshui girl to enter the palace back then?" ”

This is a question she has always been curious about, and she always feels that there is something special about Ji Zhongli's choice of Lianshui.

Ji Zhongli was not surprised, he was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Do you know that Emperor Songde once personally led people to exterminate the barbarians in foreign lands? Moreover, there is almost no living mouth left. ”

"I've heard a little." Jiang Yingning nodded, "This also shows that he hates barbarians very much, but Lianshui ...... She is obviously a barbarian woman, why did her brother choose her? ”

"There is no such thing as hatred for no reason." Ji Zhongli said lightly, but his voice trembled a little imperceptibly.

Jiang Yingning was keenly aware of Ji Zhongli's abnormality, hesitated for a moment, and then asked carefully, "Brother Li, in fact, I'm just a little curious, if you don't want to say it......"

"Nothing." Ji Zhongli quickly sorted out his emotions and gently pulled the corners of his mouth to reassure the little girl.

However, he continued, "Actually, this matter is also related to the case of the Prime Minister's Office back then. ”

Sure enough, Jiang Yingning's eyes widened instantly, she was not surprised, when she heard Chun Tao and Qiu Tong say, she faintly felt that this matter had something to do with Prime Minister Ji Youji.

"The reason why Emperor Songde insisted on killing my father is because my father knows a piece of his unknown history."

Ji Zhongli's voice was as calm as water, and it was particularly comfortable to listen to on a cool summer night.

"Back then, Emperor Songde was only the second prince, and he followed the prince at that time to fight against the barbarians, because of his cowardice, the prince died under the sword of the barbarians, and he also became a prisoner."

Jiang Yingning listened intently, looking at Ji Zhongli's gaze, flashing with distress that she didn't even know.

Ji Zhongli continued, "After becoming a captive, Emperor Songde was favored by the most favored princess of the barbarians because of his outstanding talents, and finally even married a princess, and he has the potential to become the next barbarian king. ”

When he said this, he sneered, "How can the barbarian king of the barbarian race satisfy his ambitions and desires? He contacted my father privately, poisoned the barbarians' diet, and slaughtered the city overnight. ”

"The heart of a king is really ruthless." Jiang Yingning shook her head helplessly, and asked curiously, "What about the barbarian princess?" ”

"The princess, pregnant with the heir of Emperor Songde, committed suicide in front of him." Ji Zhongli looked at Jiang Yingning as he spoke, "You should understand why I chose Lianshui by now, right?" ”

Jiang Yingning nodded, presumably Emperor Song De had love for that woman, but because of his greed, he killed his beloved and their common child, which must be a lifelong pain in his heart.

Then, she asked, "Is Lianshui similar to that princess?" ”

"Nope." Ji Zhongli shook his head, "I haven't seen that princess, and I've only occasionally heard my father mention that passionate woman, and she is with Lianshui...... It should not be the same. ”

"Maybe this difference makes Emperor Song De more satisfied." Jiang Yingning smiled a little contemptuously, "Presumably everyone thinks that he hates the barbarians to death, how dare he send the barbarian woman to him?" ”

She said and looked at Ji Zhongli with some complicated eyes, "So, it is also because of this unglorious history that Emperor Songde beheaded the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

Ji Zhongli nodded, these reasons made people feel ridiculous and powerless, a full hundred and seven lives......

Jiang Yingning's heart was even more uncomfortable, she got up and walked a few steps in front of Ji Zhongli, lowered her head slightly and said, "Brother Li, if you are uncomfortable, I will hug you." ”

Ji Zhongli, who was still in a heavy mood, heard this, and his eyes widened in shock, and he looked at the little girl incredulously.

Jiang Yingning looked sincere, "Really, sometimes, we can also be less powerful, find someone you trust to let yourself take a break, take a break, leave my brother is such a person for me, I believe in leaving my brother, leaving my brother can also believe in me." ”

She noticed that Ji Zhongli's eyes were a little red, so she took Ji Zhongli's head into her arms with understanding, "Brother, it's okay, it's all over." ”

Ji Zhongli's whole body froze, his face was buried shallowly, and he could clearly smell a faint sweet smell, which made people feel physically and mentally happy, and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

He couldn't help but hope that time had stopped at this moment and that he could rest like this forever.

Time passed little by little, Jiang Yingning felt that it was almost over, so she slowly held Ji Zhongli's hand, slowly took a step back, and looked over with concern.

Ji Zhongli's state looks pretty good, but his eyes still seem to be a little sluggish, as if he is still immersed in what happened just now.

She asked tentatively, "Brother Li, do you feel better?" ”

Is it better? Ji Zhongli said no, so he took the initiative to drag the little girl back to him and buried his face again.
