Big Moon Ballad

Ying Baoyue was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

She was prepared that Li Ji would ask about her past, but she didn't expect that the first person they mentioned was Murong Feilan.

Where to start with this.

Ying Baoyue was silent for a moment, "I think he probably doesn't hate me."

In fact, neither Murong Feilan nor Ying Su directly said they liked her.

So it wasn't that she was prevaricating Li Ji, but that she couldn't answer this question on Murong Feilan's behalf.

Ying Baoyue later realized that the only person who had directly expressed love to her in her previous life seemed to be Xiao Li Ji nine years ago.

Or maybe it was only Xiao Li Ji who stubbornly repeated it countless times, which impressed her more deeply?

"it's OK?"

Li Ji's voice brought back Ying Baoyue's thoughts, and his eyes became stern, "Didn't he make it clear to you?"

Ying Baoyue smiled bitterly, "His identity cannot be shared with others in private."

Her identity in her previous life was very sensitive, and even though both of them knew that they were likely to get married in the future, neither of them would talk about the matter until it was completely settled.

"What about you?" Li Ji looked steadily into Ying Baoyue's eyes.

Recalling the eye contact between the two in Soochow, and the trusting tone when Ying Baoyue mentioned Murong Feilan, everyone knew that the relationship between the two was unusual.

Ying Baoyue was silent again, and after a moment she raised her head, "When I was a child, for a long time I thought I would marry him in the future."

Murong Feilan probably thinks so too.

If there had not been the subsequent Three Dragons Struggle for the Pearl and Ying Su had not rushed thousands of miles to find her on the Great Wall of Eternal Night, she would have followed the arrangement made by her master and married Hou Liao and became Murong Feilan's wife.

She used to not quite understand why Master would choose Murong Feilan for her, but now it seems that she is indeed the most suitable candidate. The Later Liao Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty were both vassal states that guarded the Great Wall. By marrying her, she could stay away from the court and guard the borders. There was a mountain ghost in the Later Liao Dynasty as a national teacher, and she would never be wronged if she married him. Murong Feilan was about the same age as her, had a gentle temperament and was smart, making him a good match.

Her master's choice was really thoughtful.

Li Ji took a deep breath and said, "You said a long time, how long is it?"

Ying Baoyue was stunned for a moment and lowered her gaze, "Probably from the time His Majesty ascended the throne to before I officially made the engagement."

After hearing this, Li Ji fell silent.

He may not know enough about Li Zhao's past, but in the past eight years, in order to avenge Shao Siming, he was fully prepared and went through all the files he could find.

It can be said that he knows Lin Baoyue's past very well.

Emperor Taizu officially ascended the throne sixteen years ago, when Lin Baoyue was ten years old, and Princess Zhaoyang Lin Baoyue and the emperor's eldest son Ying Su got engaged when she was eighteen years old.

From ten to eighteen years old...

After a while, it turned out that Prince Hou Liao was Ying Baoyue's real fiancé. At least he had been her fiancé longer than Ji Jiashu.

No wonder the relationship between the two people is so familiar.

How many men had ever wanted to marry her?

"What happened next?" Li Ji knew that he was in a despicable state of mind now, but he couldn't help but want to ask, "When you knew you couldn't marry him, what kind of mood did you feel at that time?"

What kind of mood?

How did you feel when you lost Murong Feilan?

Ying Baoyue blinked and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I didn't have time to think about this at that time."

Li Ji suddenly realized that in her previous life, Lin Baoyue could not marry Murong Feilan because she happened to run into the Three Dragons Fighting for the Pearl. At that time, she was facing a huge crisis. She might be forced to marry that villain Ying Hao. She Naturally, I can't take care of this.

From the time Emperor Taizu got involved in this matter, it was impossible for her to marry to Hou Liao, nor to marry a man outside the royal family.

After all, who dares to marry the woman the emperor likes?

Li Ji lowered his gaze and finally asked the question, "Then...why did you choose him in the end?" The moment he said this, Li Ji suddenly realized that this was the question he really wanted to ask.

Still here.

Ying Baoyue froze instantly.

Li Ji asked cryptically, but she already fully understood what he meant.

He was asking her why she chose to marry Ying Su.

"Sorry," Li Ji's eyes were as dark as a deep pool, full of self-loathing, "If you feel offended, you don't have to answer."

He knew he shouldn't ask, but he couldn't help but want to know. Because no matter how they met or separated, they could not avoid this person.

When he met her nine years ago, she was dressed in mourning clothes and said she was observing mourning for her late husband. When she rejected him, she said that she was married and had children.

Now he knew who the deceased husband and child were.

The husband Li Zhao once mentioned was Ying Su.

When the three dragons were fighting for the pearl, compared to Ying Di and Ying Hao, Ying Su was indeed the best choice. Li Ji once felt that it was just a choice forced by the situation.

But, is that really the case?

In fact, Lin Baoyue, the young master's order, was not officially married to the emperor's eldest son Ying Su, nor was he Ying Xun's biological mother. But she ruined her own future for Ying Xun, and even kept her filial piety for that person without having any status.

If Murong Feilan was the husband chosen by Da Siming for her, what about Ying Su?

Was she really forced by circumstances to choose him?

Under Li Ji's gaze, Ying Baoyue's breathing was a little difficult.

Noticing the change in her breath, Li Ji felt an uncontrollable pain deep in his heart.

He already understands.

For Shao Si Ming Lin Baoyue, Ying Su and Murong Feilan were different.

She and Murong Feilan could only be regarded as a mutual affection between a pair of equally outstanding young girls, but the memories related to Ying Su meant pain to her and the most unforgettable memories.

The tears of Ying Baoyue in the forest of the dead appeared in front of Li Ji's eyes. The pain in his heart became more and more serious. He took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to answer me. It's my fault. That's all in the past."

The man is gone, what does he have to worry about?

Ying Baoyue shook her head.

Every joint in her body ached at this time. She knew that Li Ji would not force her if she didn't tell him, but she didn't want to deceive him, nor did she want to deceive herself.

She will have to face this problem eventually.

Not only to answer Li Ji, but also to face his own heart.

"I initially thought I chose him just because he was the most suitable person to appear in front of me at that moment."

Compared to the dissolute Ying Hao and the unfathomable Ying Emperor, Ying Su is naturally much more suitable. He will not hurt her in any case.

In addition, he offered to marry her and seemed to not care about anything, so she agreed.

In a sense, she took advantage of Ying Su.

She thought they were using each other, but by the time she realized that wasn't the case, it was already too late.

Boundless bitterness spread from the tip of Ying Baoyue's tongue.

For Baoyue, it is equivalent to breaking one's heart.
