Listened to Jingye's words today. Naturally, I was very moved. But when I got to Tao Wanyan, I was here. She found everything ridiculous and ironic.

If it were in the old days. Tao Wanyan may also be a little moved in her heart. But what happened just now. So Tao Wanyan has long lost the confidence to believe these words. Not to mention. She's not just ...... I can't even tell the difference between true love and fake love.

"Seventh Master. Can I ask you about that? ”

Tao Wanyan stretched out her hand to push Jingye away. Then he turned around and looked at the snowflakes that began to fly again. The doubts in my heart also became heavier.

Jing Ye didn't speak. That is to answer Tao Wanyan. She's not pretentious either. "On the day of the Seventh Master. Why did he agree to the emperor's request? Hire me with a mandarin duck wedding dress. ”

Xu didn't expect Tao Wanyan to ask this question. At first, I was stunned. Then he smiled softly. "I remember when the dowry first arrived at the General's Palace. You came to my house and asked me this question. ”

"Yes. You told me. Let me have no illusions. That today. Are you still giving me this answer. ”

Don't have any illusions.

Listen to this sentence. Sedum couldn't help but smile lightly. But with a kind of self-deprecation. Then his face became serious again. "Tao Wanyan. will marry you with a mandarin duck wedding dress. That's because the time has come. ”

Really......

From the very beginning. When he heard the word chess piece from his mouth. Tao Wanyan has already allowed herself to accept reality. But now I hear it. I still can't help but feel a blow in my heart. It's hard to expect Jingye to fall in love with her.

"Do you love me?" I know I shouldn't ask. But Tao Wanyan still asked.

It was an unexpected accident in Jingye. So the face was shocked and stunned. Even the eyes that were as deep as the sea water had a rare hint of brightness. was obviously stumped by Tao Wanyan's question.

This question. Is it really that hard to answer?

"I ...... Don't love ......"

There was silence for a long time. These three words were slowly spoken. Word for word. Make it clear. Naturally, those who listen are clearer.

"Jingye. How many times have you saved me...... And for what. ”

"Responsibility."

"What responsibility do you have to me?"

"The life-saving grace of being in Luochen County that day." Jing Ye did not run away from her question. Instead, he patiently answered for Tao Wanyan. The seriousness in her eyes was also clear to Tao Wanyan.

But. If it's really just a life-saving kindness. Why did he have to do it like this?

seems to understand what Tao Wanyan is thinking. Sedume's voice was deep. Speak again. "More important things. Someone wants me to take care of you. Entrusted by others. Faithful deeds. I should protect you. ”

This moment. Tao Wanyan wondered if she should feel lucky. Shen Yanxue, who can have Jingye's admiration, can't get a mandarin duck wedding dress. But she is just a person who is regarded as a bad thing in the palace of the protector general. But he can be taken care of like this. It's really like beating gongs and drums, cheering around.

The little hope I had in my heart was now nothing.

Although I don't know who the person who entrusted Jingye is. But at this point. She couldn't think about it that much.

"Jing Ye...... Thank you for saying these words to me. If there is an opportunity in the future. Mandarin duck wedding dress. I will pay you back. ”

"I don't need to."

"But I need to." Finish it word by word. Tao Wanyan turned around and left.

The snow was falling more and more rapidly. Falling like goose feathers. Some branches. Even the weight of the snow on the branches could not be endured. Collapsed with a thud. There is nothing left.

Rested for three days in Plum Blossom County. The group hurried back again. The road was finally peaceful.

The carriage had just stopped at the gate of the Protector General's Mansion. Tao Wanyan couldn't wait to jump down. A man ran to the house. Not even a word of goodbye. Shen Xia and Mu Xia called out urgently behind them. She also turned a deaf ear.

Jing Ye looked at Tao Wanyan's panicked back. Didn't say much. Instead, he took Shen Luoxue into the palace to ask for guilt.

Mengxiao heard that Tao Wanyan had returned. also immediately ran to the Protector General's Mansion. but ate the closed door.

Tao Wanyan is in a very chaotic mood now. Naturally, I want to be alone and quiet. Think about yourself.

Mengxiao was originally gone. But in the middle of the night. Here she is again. This time it's different. Easy to come too.

Tao Wanyan originally wanted not to see them. Even wish for summer. Shen Xia and Mu Xia were both driven back to Lihua Building by her. What's more, it's someone close to Jingye.

But I want to think about it. Tao Wanyan finally met them. Just walked to the main hall. was grabbed by Mengxiao's hand. I saw that the faces of Meng Xiao and Yi Chu were mysterious and strange. There was another anxiety in his eyes. Tao Wanyan naturally thought of bad things. I couldn't help but get nervous.

"Seventh sister-in-law. You'll have to come with us. ”

"Laugh. It's so late. Where are you going. I don't want to go out. ”

"Seventh sister-in-law. The seventh brother was locked up by the imperial uncle. ”

Jingye was locked up by the emperor.

That's not ......

Tao Wanyan listened to this. I was really anxious. But I thought about it again in a blink of an eye. She has nothing to do with Jingye anymore. Something happened to him. And what does it have to do with her.

"I'm not going. And also. I don't have anything to do with Sedum anymore. Don't call me sister-in-law anymore. ”

On the way back. Tao Wanyan thought a lot. Between her and Jing Ye. It's nothing more than the intention of falling flowers. Flowing water is merciless. That being the case. Then simply break it off completely. She didn't want to owe Jingye anything more. Jing Ye naturally didn't want to have any more bonds with her. It's also good for two people to be separated.

Thinking of using the emperor's order to push away the haunting dream smile. How do you know that dreams are not followed. Hold her hand tightly. "Sister Evening Smoke. Even if it's a one-day husband and wife, it's a hundred days. Brother Qi is now in big trouble. You've got to come with me today. ”

"Laughing ......"

"Miss Tao. Let's just take a trip. This thing...... It's also about the Tao family. "It's easy to speak, and then I speak. Something that can be exported. scared Tao Wanyan enough. What is called is related to the Tao family.

Jingye escaped with Shen Luoxue. Could it be that it was arranged by the people of Tao Mansion. Why do you have to let the Tao family participate in everything to finish. It's hard to really respond to what grandpa said. Jing Sang is now afraid of the Tao family's power. It is really going to exploit the military and power of the Tao family.

Can be up and down the Tao family. Let's not mention that Tao Ling is old. There is only one descendant left in the entire Tao family. How could there be the slightest threat to the imperial court.

"I ......"

"Sister Evening Smoke. Doubt it no more. Let's go. ”

Xu saw that Tao Wanyan noticed a slight change. Mengxiao couldn't help but say. Pulling Tao Wanyan and walking to the back door.

The three of them were draped in black coats. Exit through the back door. With the sound of horses' hooves. The back faded into the night.
