Chapter 67: Strange Paths

Previous Chapter

Shen Jiangge held on to the table before standing firmly, she looked at Ji Yuhan painfully, her eyes were full of frost.

The copper lamp flickered on and off, illuminating the figures of the two people, one deep and one shallow.

The two of them were obviously just separated by a table, but they felt very distant, very distant.

Outside the window, the faint fragrance of golden cinnamon wafted through the wind, and a large area of golden snow fell.

At the end of the vermilion, the figure of sake came in a hurry.

Before she entered the house, she said anxiously: "Third master, something is wrong." ”

As soon as she stepped into the house, she saw Shen Jiangge and Ji Yuhan silently with each other.

Looking at the expressions of the two again, Sake quickly understood what was going on.

She bowed her head and saluted respectfully, and hurriedly said, "Excuse me the third master, the sake will retreat first." ”

After the sake finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he heard Ji Yuhan say behind him: "It's okay, don't be in a hurry." Say, what's going on? ”

Sake glanced at Shen Jiangge hesitantly, and stopped talking: "This ......"

Ji Yuhan's expression returned to normal, turned around and sat on the chair, he dispelled the concerns of sake and said, "There are no outsiders here, it doesn't hurt to say anything directly." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Sake's eyes, she glanced at Shen Jiangge, and then said respectfully: "Third Master Qiqi, my people from the Northern Xinjiang side have sent a letter, saying that the carriage and horses of the King of Beiliang have been hijacked in Qibei, and everyone's whereabouts are unknown. ”

"What?"

Ji Yuhan was taken aback, thought for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know about this matter from the father, the crown prince, and the second prince?" ”

Sake shook his head and continued, "My people were mixed in the convoy of the King of Beiliang, and the signal was given at the last time. Less than two hours have passed since this incident, and the news must not have reached the imperial city so quickly. ”

"The stakes are very high, and if you are not careful, there will be no peace on the northern border. Sake, you go ahead and check the whereabouts of the convoy. I'll go to King Jing's Mansion. ”

Ji Yuhan got up and was about to leave, but he heard Qingjiu hesitate for a moment and asked, "Third Master, such important news, you plan to tell the Fourth Lord like this?" If he had informed the Holy One first, the credit would have been ......."

Ji Yuhan stopped and said with a serious expression: "Sake, you have been with this king for ten years, you should know that if there was no Princess Jing and no fourth brother, there would be no me now." I can use anyone in this royal family, but these two people, I want to repay the favor in addition to it. Do you understand? ”

"Yes."

Sake bowed his head and bowed deeply, not daring to say anything more.

She could only silently watch Ji Yuhan walk away, sighing lightly on the spot.

When Ji Yuhan walked away, sake set his eyes on Shen Jiangge.

She took a step closer to Shen Jiangge and said softly, "Did the third master bully you?" ”

Shen Jiangge shook his head, smiled bitterly and did not answer, and asked, "Princess Jing and the Fourth Prince seem to be very good to him, otherwise, he would not have told them such important information." ”

Sake smiled, shook his head, and said slowly: "The third master is a person who values feelings. ”

"His mother's status as a concubine is low, and she didn't even have a title before she died. Not long after she gave birth to the third master, she was given death by the saint, and the third master has always been raised by the nurse and lived in a remote palace, living a life of house arrest. ”

"When the third master was seven years old, the saint remembered that he still had a prince in the palace. He ordered the third master to be taken back to the palace and thrown to Princess Jing to take care of. Fortunately, Princess Jing is weak by nature, does not fight or grab, stays away from disputes, and takes care of the third master, a halfway child. ”

"The third master and the fourth master grew up together, and the relationship between the brothers has always been very good. When he was young, if other princes bullied and ridiculed the third master, the gentle and elegant fourth master would also protect the third master desperately. ”

"These three masters are all in mind."

"People in the world say that today's saints are extremely optimistic about and favor the four princes, but in fact, many of the reasons for this are because of the secret help of the third master."

"But, with the talent and ambition of the third master, how can he live under the people for a long time? Even if he deliberately let the fourth master go, I'm afraid that once the issue of imperial power is involved in the future, even if the third master wants to avoid it, there is no way to avoid it......"

The sake sighed lowly, as if it knocked on Shen Jiangge's heart.

She didn't expect Ji Yuhan's life experience to be even more tragic than she imagined, and her heart couldn't help but tighten and hurt slightly.

Seeing that she was silent, and seeing that she looked lonely, Sake said slowly: "Miss Shen, in fact, I have heard about your life experience and identity before. With all due respect, if the third master really wants to make a career, I'm afraid that you will be a drag on him. ”

Shen Jiangge raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Linglong Pavilion has always been well-informed, so I naturally can't hide this from you." However, please rest assured that I have nothing to do with your third master, so I will naturally not be a drag on him. ”

Shen Jiangge said and walked towards the outside of the house.

"Wait."

Seeing that she was leaving, Sake hesitated for a moment and called out to her.

"Is there anything else going on with the sake girl?"

Shen Jiangge didn't look back, her heart ached as if it was torn apart at the moment.

Sake stood not far behind her and said softly, "Miss Shen, maybe you don't know, you are very much like a person." When you first appeared in Linglong Pavilion, I felt that you were very much like her. ”

"Oh?"

Shen Jiangge's heart was faintly uneasy, she suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and asked with a chuckle.

Sake took a step forward and stopped, and said slowly: "The third master lived in the palace outside Beijing until he was seven years old. There, there was a little girl who kept him company all day long, taught him to write, taught him to practice swords, and the two of them did not guess. ”

"However, when the two were seven years old, an accident occurred in the palace, and they separated."

"It's been a long time since the two have seen each other again. This is also the reason why for so many years, the third master has never paid attention to any woman. ”

"What I'm trying to say isβ€”"

"If the third master is really in love with you, please don't let him experience the pain of gaining and losing."

"As I said, the third master is a person who values feelings. It not only refers to family affection and affection, but also includes the ultimate love. ”

"I'm just afraid...... In the end, if he was asked to give up all his plans, he would not be reluctant. ”

Shen Jiangge's figure froze in place, as if it had been coated with a layer of frost and snow by the moonlight.

After a long time, she turned around, looked at the sake with a faint smile and said, "Thank you for telling me so much tonight." I also know that he is a man of love and righteousness. However, I don't want to be a substitute for anyone. ”

"If what he falls in love with is just a shadow of someone else, then I would rather not have such love."

"In addition, I am carrying the blood debt of many Mucang soldiers, and he is yearning for the high throne."

"We are destined to have different paths."
