Once again, when I came to the willow garden in Prince Ding's mansion, for a while, a thousand tastes poured into Zuo Xiang's cold heart.

At this moment, he was sitting in the pavilion near the pool, looking around—

The hollow bamboo lamps hanging at the corner of the pavilion are still flickering with candles. The night breeze blows, and the willow branches by the pool are slowly swaying, revealing a faint sense of sadness.

Everything seemed to be the same as what he had seen a year earlier.

However, Leng Yiqing can clearly feel that in fact, many things have changed.

He is no longer the ambitious Zuo Xiang, who fantasizes about helping King Baoji to ascend the throne and creating a new pattern in the Dayu court.

And the person sitting opposite him at this moment is no longer the prince who was scheming and wanted to use a jar of willow leaves and snow to mess with his mind and show his true words-

Thinking that to this day, he didn't even know the other party's real name, Leng Yiqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He turned his gaze to the glass of wine in front of him, and said abruptly: "I'm afraid that the prince won't be able to take out another jar of willow leaf snow this time, right?"

When Haoxing Mingrui heard this, his eyes couldn't help but darken slightly, and he smiled bitterly, and said: "Willow leaf snow is not difficult to find, but the willow leaf snow brewed by Fang Yin ——, can no longer be found!"

Hearing the word "Fang Yin", Leng Yiqing immediately stared at the other party's face with a cold gaze, and said in a deep voice: "What does the prince mean by this? ! Now he dares to call him by his name in front of Leng, which is really too deceitful!"

"Do you think that only you can call the name 'Fang Yin'?" Haoxing Mingrui asked with a sneer.

Leng Yiqing couldn't help but snort angrily and said, "Even if you and Hua Fengshan have saved Fang Yin's life, you can't ignore the etiquette and arbitrarily make a bad name!"

"I'm afraid that the one with the bad name festival is your Zuo Xiang, right?" Haoxing Mingrui immediately sneered, "Fang Yin was suspended by you for stigma, in the eyes of the world, what other name is there?!"

"I-"

Leng Yiqing was suddenly speechless by his questioning, and his face showed remorse.

And Haoxing Mingrui, who was angry, was silent at this moment.

Originally, he didn't want to start this meeting with a quarrel, but when he thought of the tragic death of his sister Fangyin, and Han Bing was poisoned at the moment, and his life was hanging by a thread, Haoxing Mingrui felt heartache, and couldn't help venting all his grievances on Leng Yiqing, who had a lot to do with it.

"Indeed, I owe Fang Yin a great amount, and I will never be able to repay it again in this life!"

Leng Yiqing suddenly said in a dumb voice: "I knew that she was pregnant and was kicked out of the house by my parents, but my ——, didn't go back to look for her......

It wasn't until the last time I was forced by the emperor to use that old painting that I really realized what a disaster I had brought to Fang Yin for the mistakes I had made!

Now any guilt and repentance is too late. The only thing I can do for her is to re-write her name into my Leng family's genealogy. ”

Hearing him say this, Haoxing Mingrui was still silent and did not speak, but what he was thinking about was cold ice. I'm afraid that the identity of this child will no longer be recognized by his so-called father.

Sure enough, when Leng Yiqing spoke again, he mentioned this problem.

"Lord Wang, whether I was willing to do it at first or not, we are now on the same side anyway. And I can swear to God that I will never do anything treacherous.

Even if Han Bing is not my son, I will continue to treat him as a son and do my best to help him do what he has to do.

But I just want to ask you to tell me the truth, where is that child between me and Fang Yin?

I'm already sorry for Fang Yin, and for our children——, I hope there will still be a chance for him to confess his ancestors, and at the same time allow myself to make up for some of the debts I have owed him over the years. ”

Haoxing Mingrui looked at Leng Yiqing silently, and suddenly found that he could no longer feel a trace of hatred for this person who had ruined Fang Yin's life, and even faintly gave birth to a kind of pity-

Perhaps he did have the opportunity to make amends for the past in the body of the ice. And now, everything is irreparable.

Even if there is really a miracle, the poison in the cold ice can be resolved, and with the stubbornness of that child, I am afraid that he will never recognize Leng Yiqing's father again.

The pot of poisonous wine has completely severed the father-son relationship between them.

Seeing that Haoxing Mingrui always looked at himself without speaking, Leng Yiqing suddenly felt an extreme frustration and frustration, and even suddenly gave birth to a burst of disappointment and anger.

He grabbed the glass in front of him, tilted his head and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this, a trace of coldness flashed in Haoxing Mingrui's eyes, and he also drank the wine in his cup.

Immediately, he said in a deep voice: "There are actually two purposes for inviting Lord Zuo Xiang to come this time. The first is to discuss with adults how to deal with the enemy. The second is to explain all the truth to you, so that between you and me, there will be no more suspicions between us and we and we will join hands against the enemy!"

Hearing Haoxing Mingrui's words, Leng Yiqing's spirit suddenly lifted, but he still asked with a little hesitation in his eyes: "Are you serious?"

Haoxing Mingrui nodded.

"Okay!" Leng Yiqing couldn't help but look up to the chief excitedly and laughed, "Then Leng will listen to him!"

Haoxing Mingrui looked at him and said calmly: "Fang Yin, it's my own sister. ”

The smile on his lips instantly condensed.

He stared at Haoxing Mingrui for a long time, and Fang slowly shook his head and said, "How is it possible? I have known Fang Yin since I was a child, and I have never heard her mention that she has an older brother. ”

"When I separated from Fang Yin, she was only two years old, and she didn't remember my brother at all. In fact, she and I are both Queen of Eternity. ”

Yongwang?

Leng Yi Qingqiang held back the shock in his heart, and silently listened to Haoxing Mingrui talk about his life experience with Fang Yin.

Haoxing Mingrui did not hide it at all, starting from the destruction of Yongwang Mansion, he told the old things of the year in detail, until Fang Yin died, leaving behind the two-year-old Xiao Yu.

"Xiao Yu—"

Leng Yiqing read softly, it turned out that he really had a son, "Where is that child now?"

Haoxing Mingrui told Leng Yiqing that Xiao Yu followed Xiao Tianjue to the rivers and lakes, and that he was finally seriously injured by Duxiaoqiong and died.

"It turns out that the kid has already ......," Leng Yiqing's lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.

Haoxing Mingrui looked at him with blazing eyes and said, "As Lord Zuo Xiang just said, it is too late to feel any guilt and repentance now. What we can do for Fang Yin's mother and son is to fulfill their wishes, change the fate of the hermits to be expelled and killed, and make Dayu a place where the rich and the hermits can share happiness together. I don't know what the left minister thinks?"

Leng Yiqing turned his gaze to Haoxing Mingrui, and for the first time felt an unreserved sincerity and trust from his words.

"Okay, for the sake of Fang Yin and Xiao Yu, and for the sake of those hidden people who are persecuted like them, I am willing to join hands with you to fight against the enemy, and I will be prosperous!"

Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help laughing, picked up the wine jug, filled the wine of the two, and then picked up the wine glass, and said: "There is a promise of Lord Zuo, and the day of Dayu's Zhongxing is not far away!"

Leng Yiqing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and smiled: "The prince is really too elevated to Leng! I am just a scholar with the ambition to serve the country, and I really can't be of great use! If Dayu wants to prosper, he still needs a talented person who can put pen to paper and settle the world!"

Haoxing Mingrui just smiled slightly, and continued: "Lord Zuo Xiang, please!"

Leng Yiqing knew that this fake prince, no, should be called his brother-in-law now, with a belly full of ghosts, if he wanted to find out what he really thought in his heart, it would be in vain.

However, this did not affect the trust between the two men.

Although this trust has only just been established, Leng Yiqing deeply feels that it will never be broken by anything again.

Then he smiled slightly, and he picked up his wine glass, "Lord Wang, please!" 21010
