The rain in summer is always a little anxious and eager, but with a cup of tea, the sky has been shrouded in dark clouds, and the huge raindrops are falling one after another.

The wind swirled and swirled the fallen leaves, and then they were beaten down by the raindrops, and they slapped into the earth, and they became muddy, and they became filthy patches, which could no longer be distinguished.

Jiang Ning remembered a long, long time ago, when Pei Yu developed later than boys of the same age, he was not tall, thin and small, timid and cowardly, and he always stammered and trembled when he spoke, so he was often bullied by children of the same age.

Therefore, he could only be forced to play with Jiang Ning, a tomboy, wherever Jiang Ning went, he would follow him, and he would do whatever Jiang Ning asked him to do.

No matter how Jiang Ning teased him, he just smiled shyly and honestly with Jiang Ning.

How much can a person be changed in three years?

A bolt of lightning slashed across the sky, illuminating half of the sky, the smell of rain and earth in the wind.

Jiang Ning still felt a little out of breath.

After that disaster, it was the first time that Jiang Ning felt such powerlessness so truly.

What exactly did they do wrong?

Jiang Ning really couldn't figure it out, was it wrong to stick to the family business? Is it wrong to live hard? Or is it wrong to be forced to fight back?

Obviously, every step and every choice is a desperate situation after being forced to a dead end, but the law never listens to it, and does not ask what the ins and outs of all this are.

Breaking the law is breaking the law, killing the king is killing the king, and the world only needs to see this one result, but never asks about the process.

A few simple words, but it can easily destroy everything that a person has been sticking to for countless years.

And what about her? She was the only lucky one among those people, the only one who escaped the disaster.

She seems to be in a high position, becoming a mother under one person and ten thousand people, and there is nothing else to do but remain silent in the face of everything, except to shed tears.

Mu Jingzhao and Pei Yu's conversation was either over, or Jiang Ning didn't pay attention to what the two of them talked about anymore, she just felt Mu Jingzhao come to her side and gently put his palm on her shoulder, and after a while, she left.

She still stood so quietly, as if she had been engraved into the lead-gray sky, and even the corners of her clothes were dyed with a bit of dead silence.

"Le ......" with a bit of hesitation in his voice, "Niangniang? ”

A bolt of lightning split in the sky, illuminating Jiang Ning's face, she turned her head, and saw that Pei Yu was still kneeling on the ground, looking up at her, and Mu Jingzhao had long since disappeared.

She squeezed out a smile and reached out to stroke the coldness on her face, "Little fish head, what are you screaming?" ”

Her voice pretended to be brisk, but it was still vaguely choked.

Pei Yu looked at her, and for a moment, his eyes turned red.

Jiang Ning sniffed, "Don't you hurry up, do you want me to help you, big brother?" ”

Pei Yu also smiled, but the blush spread from the corners of his eyes and spread to his entire eye socket.

He got up and sat down beside Jiang Ning.

"How are you doing all these years?"

Jiang Ning pursed his lips, feeling that the thousand words in his heart were a little difficult to speak.

"It's fine."

Pei Yu smiled at her, his eyes were open, he was originally born weak, but after being exposed to the wind and sun in the mountains for so many years, the whole person's skin became dark and rough, and he actually gave birth to a little roughness.

Although it was rough, the eyebrows and eyes were still clear and open, which was no different from the appearance in Jiang Ning's memory back then.

If others saw him, they would only associate him with the ambitious rural scholars in the mountains, but they would never believe that he was actually a robber. ‘

"That's good." Pei Yu's smile was still frank and clear, without the slightest jealousy, "When I saw you back then, I always believed that you were destined to be different from us ordinary people." ”

Jiang Ning lowered his eyes and chuckled, and quietly poured Pei Yu a cup of tea.

Ordinary people. Jiang Ning chewed on four words repeatedly.

Even if he enters the emperor's harem, he can only do some work of telling stories and growing vegetables, and after all, it is still a vulgar thing that is difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

Pei Yu picked up the cup of tea that Jiang Ning poured for her, put it to her mouth and blew it carefully, and then drank it carefully.

The two playmates who were originally inseparable in childhood, now sitting together, are relatively speechless, and they can no longer say a word.

"How did you get to Kyoto?"

Pei Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally asked this sentence.

After all, from the daughter of the lowliest businessman to the concubine who is now above 10,000 people under one person, the gap is so big that anyone can't help but be curious.

"Wandering, begging all the way, going wherever there is something to eat, just walking aimlessly, I saw the prosperity in front of me, and knew that it was where I landed, and then I realized that it was Kyoto."

The smile on Pei Yu's face gradually faded.

After the tragedy of the Jiang family, he firmly believed that Jiang Ning had died, but now that he saw that Jiang Ning was still alive and had become the emperor's concubine, he was naturally happy in his heart.

But now, after knowing that Jiang Ning's experience was not as smooth as he imagined, he couldn't stop feeling distressed.

"Later, I was adopted by an old beggar in Kyoto, who raised me as a daughter and treated me very well. Later, he was beaten to death for angering an official master, so I began to learn to tell stories on my own to make ends meet. ”

The wind outside the house was still strong, blowing the windows whirring, and Jiang Ning's voice was still flat and clear.

"Later." Jiang Ning lowered his eyes and chuckled, "I was knocked unconscious, and I married the prime minister's daughter by mistake and became the emperor's concubine Ning." ”

Jiang Ning pinched his head and tail, and summed up what he had experienced over the years in a few words.

It's easy to say, but it's easy to think about.

But Pei Yu's face did not show the shock and joy she expected, but the blood red under his eyes seemed to condense into droplets of water at any time.

His dry lips moved slightly, and there were faint tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, "You must have had a hard time all these years." ”

This simple sentence almost made Jiang Ning cry.

"Everything in the world is just a mistake."

"Now, the emperor seems to have accepted your true identity, he treats you well, and it must be a good destination."

Jiang Ning looked at Pei Yu, his eyes were red, and there seemed to be a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and the picture in front of Jiang Ning kept blurring until he couldn't see anything clearly.

He already has a home, so what about him? (End of chapter)
