Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 580 Dispelling
There are no fools here, even Jiang Shaoyan, who was sitting by the side and never said a word.

The meaning revealed by Ji Chongyan's few words is obvious: he thinks there is something wrong with His Majesty now.

This is probably a conclusion drawn after observing and pondering a person for more than ten or nearly 20 years, and being familiar with this person is no longer familiar.

"So, it's just you and me that His Majesty didn't summon," Zhong Hui said again after being silent for a while, "This doesn't explain anything, he still continues to summon others."

Ji Chongyan looked up at him: "For example?"

Zhong Huidao: "Yang Meiren is pregnant with the dragon heir, Yang Fei is protecting Yang Meiren, and the Crown Princess."

What responded to him was Ji Chongyan's long silence.

Zhong Hui glanced at the thoughtful girl and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

The girl looked at him and said, "Lord Zhong's investigative methods are extraordinary, and he is extremely powerful. It's just that you have only been released for a short time, and your understanding of His Majesty is still far from enough!"

Zhong Hui raised his eyebrows: He said he didn't know His Majesty long enough, but what does it matter?
"Your Majesty only met Yang Meiren and others to take care of his heirs. After all, the Crown Prince and His Highness the Second Highness committed such a thing. It is natural for His Majesty to want to change others. It is not wrong to take care of the rest of the heirs who have not committed crimes." Zhong Hui Said.

"Master Zhong is right. It is true to take care of the heirs, but it is not necessary to see Yang Meiren, Concubine Yang and the Crown Princess and others to take care of the heirs." The girl said, "Your Majesty took care of the heirs first, but you only saw the heirs, and rarely saw Yang. Concubine and others."

Zhong Hui was silent when he heard the words, and after a long while, he said again: "For people like His Majesty, Yang Meiren, Yang Concubine and other women are not important in his eyes, but they don't reject them. Otherwise, how can we be lucky with concubines? Could it be that he was forced to be tied up to make a fortune? What difference does it make if you want to see your son, whether you let someone bring him over or go see it yourself?"

After saying this, Zhong Hui lowered his eyes again and fell silent, obviously thinking about something.

Jiang Shaoyan looked at Ji Chongyan, saw that Ji Chongyan shook his head slightly at him, and said, "What Mr. Zhong said is not unreasonable."

Zhong Hui nodded casually, and then waved his hand to call for humanity, "I still have something to do, let's go ahead, you can do what you want!"

After that, he left in a hurry.

After Zhong Hui left, Jiang Shaoyan asked Ji Chongyan, "Does he really think that His Majesty is fine?"

Ji Chongyan chuckled lightly, and shook his head: "It's because I thought there was something wrong, that's why I said that and left in such a hurry!"

Seeing the girl looking at him, Ji Chongyan paused, and then said: "He is not very familiar with His Majesty, but he has been out for several months. With Zhong Hui's ability, coupled with your reminder, In his heart, at least half of this majesty may be a fake."

"Besides, he was the first to mention His Majesty's refusal to summon him. It can be seen that he has already faintly sensed that something is wrong in his heart." Ji Chongyan said, "Right now, I am afraid that he has already gone back to investigate."

This is also the purpose of him deliberately mentioning these things just now.

"'Your Majesty' is not summoning me right now. If I have nothing to do, I will enter the palace privately to ask for an interview. It is inconsistent with Ji Chongyan's practice in the past. I am afraid that I will startle the snake. It would be better if Zhonghui would do these things." Ji Chongyan stopped here. Come down and look at the girl, "Ayan, didn't you say you have some personal business to do today? Come so early, is it because you have finished your personal business?"

Although she was also curious about her private affairs, the girl didn't ask, and Ji Chongyan didn't ask.

Jiang Shaoyan nodded, handed him the box in her hand, and said, "This is my private matter."

Ji Chongyan looked at the obviously "old" box in front of him, paused when his fingers touched the unlocked lock, and said, "I've seen this lock before."

This is not a key lock, but a special mechanism lock. Of course, it can also be unlocked with a key, but apart from the key, there are also special mechanism solutions.

The girl was silent for a moment when she heard the words, and asked, "Is it from Nanny Chai?"

Ji Chongyan raised his head and looked at the girl who said something good, his eyes narrowed: "Ayan, how do you know?"

The girl shook her head, but didn't answer him immediately, but said to him: "Open it and have a look first!"

Take off the lock, the box is opened, and the contents inside can be seen at a glance.

Ji Chongyan looked at the contents of the box in silence for a moment, then took out the contents one by one, opened them and looked at them.

From the imperial decree to the letter, and finally to the piece of paper.

After watching all this, Ji Chongyan raised his head and looked at the girl: "Where did Ayan get these things? What Yang Yan asked someone to post is fake, and what's in this box is real, right?"

The girl nodded and responded lightly, looking at the box with a sad expression: "Edicts and letters can be faked, but there is only one thing that can't be faked."

The few pens on that piece of paper were written with an address, and the two of them had already guessed what would be in the address from the imperial decree and letter.

"Back then, Qian Qing, the deputy general beside His Majesty at that time, was in charge of the horse bandit attack, but this Qian Qing apparently was the deputy general next to His Majesty, but in fact, he secretly took refuge in Emperor Ren, and was instructed by Emperor Ren to leave everything His Majesty did Get over it," said the girl.

"I think his original intention was to hand over this matter to Emperor Ren, and then if everything goes well, it will go round and round and fall into Yang Yan's hands. In Emperor Ren's view, a tyrant has no way, and he must be fatuous and defeated. His Majesty's mind is unpredictable , it will be a matter of time before Dajing is overthrown."

"But if the Lord of the World is seated by His Majesty, to Emperor Ren, it is equivalent to making a wedding dress for others. He must not want it. Therefore, he will leave a handle to restrain His Majesty." The girl said, "What's in this box is to restrain His Majesty, so that Yang Yan can have a legitimate reason to defy him."

"But Qian Qing died suddenly back then, and this box is gone. Your Majesty is looking for it, and Yang Yan is also looking for it." The girl said, "Compared to imperial decrees, it is evidence of dead objects, which can be forged by Yang Yan, or Let His Majesty insist that his lies are false, and the two sides are biting each other. But there is only one piece of evidence that cannot be faked."

As the girl said, her eyes fell on the paper with the address written in front of her: "Qian Qing was in charge of the aftermath. Since he is Emperor Ren's man, he must leave evidence! This so-called aftermath is definitely not the one that His Majesty thought was silenced. That kind of aftermath is the aftermath that really keeps people behind."

Therefore, the ones above this address should be the witnesses from that year.

After 20 years, although it is said that it is long, it is not enough to make people unable to recognize the relatives who "died" in those years.

With these living accounts, the evidence that His Majesty colluded with other races and harmed the Han people is almost solid.

Jiang Shaoyan can understand these things, and Ji Chongyan naturally understands them too.

"The things in this box are very important." After Ji Chongyan wrote down the address, he put the things in the box again and handed them back to Jiang Shaoyan. From her point of view, he asked the most critical question, "Why is Ayan?" got these things?"

Jiang Shaoyan hugged the box in her hand, and after being silent for a while, she suddenly said leisurely, "Let me tell you a story, okay?"

The story begins a long time ago.

It started when she was drawn into this time and space by the torrent of time and space and became that Miss Jiang family.

Jiang Shaoyan said slowly to Ji Chongyan's focused and serious gaze on him last time.

In this inexplicable time and space, she has lived in two identities.In the first life, when she was Miss Jiang, she always felt that she was an outsider who didn't fit in with this world, thinking that she could go back one day.Therefore, she looks at everything from the perspective of an outsider, and even her own affairs, she seldom really enters into it.

Such a negative, indifferent and even lazy attitude made her not solve Dali and Xiaoli, the "sisters" who committed countless evil things in time, and also made her clearly aware of the countless abnormalities around her, but she never deeply explored them. Pass.

She was avoiding her identity as Miss Jiang's, and all she wanted was to leave from the beginning to the end.

In the end, I had to jump off the city wall in such a tragic way, and chose to leave...

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly fell into a warm embrace.

The lazy and clear voice in the past seemed a little hoarse.

"That day, when you jumped down, did it hurt?" A low voice came from the top of your head.

Jiang Shaoyan looked up at him, said in silence, "I thought you would first ask me if I like Mr. Zhao Xiaolang?"

There is no doubt that Ji Chongyan likes her.Jiang Shaoyan judges others by herself, it is selfish to consciously like such things, there is no room for a third person between two people.What's more, the rumors about Ms. Jiang and Mr. Zhao Xiaolang were raging back then, but he looks so similar to Ji Chongyan.No matter how much you like it, because of the past and old grievances, I'm afraid you can't help but ask.

"Of course I want to ask this too." Ji Chongyan looked down at her and said calmly, "Who would be generous in such a matter? But compared to this, I want to ask that question first."

Jumping down, does it hurt?
At this time, she remembered that when she returned to Chang'an City from Jiangnan Road, she took him back and forth through the alleys extending in all directions in the capital, and finally came around to Yongding Gate.

The girl was in a trance, stepping on the wall of Yongdingmen, it must be very uncomfortable at that moment!

Ji Chongyan felt a little distressed suddenly: these 20 years were a real 20 years for him and everyone else, but for her it was a moment when she closed her eyes and opened her eyes.

The helplessness and pain of jumping down seemed to her like it was just yesterday.

In the past 20 years, he has heard many teahouse storytellers talk about the events of the year.After all, in the eyes of the world, the "witch who bewitched the country" is nothing more than an excellent conversation piece to pass the time.

In the past, when he heard these stories, he only thought that Miss Jiang was a poor person, but at this moment, when he knew that she was the Miss Jiang who was driven to despair, a dull pain for no reason dissipated from his heart.

"Were you...were you scared?" He asked in a low voice.

Jiang Shaoyan was silent for a moment, and said: "Actually, I'm not that scared, because there is a more terrifying existence behind me." The girl lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "I have no other way to go. At that moment, it didn't seem so scary. Besides, I didn’t do this on a whim, but after a long time of thinking. When the Jiang clan imprisoned me, I tried my best to tell myself that I would be able to go back the moment I jumped off, so don’t be afraid! "

"These words, I have said to myself a lot, so I believe it." The girl raised her lowered head again, pursed her lips and smiled at him, with a trace of regret in her eyes, "I believe I can go back , I am not so afraid anymore!"

The hand around his waist suddenly loosened, Ji Chongyan got up, took a deep look at her, and suddenly took a step to step onto the steps of the adjacent gazebo.

Jiang Shaoyan was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously stood up and looked at Ji Chongyan who was close at hand.

The height of the first step is not too high.

It's just such a slight height, but it made her feel inexplicably familiar.

Before he could react, Ji Chongyan stretched out his hand towards her: "Miss Jiang, the city wall is too high, don't jump! Turn around, I'll pull you up!"

Jiang Shaoyan looked at the hand that was close at hand, and in an instant, it seemed as if time flowed in the same space. She was wearing a red wedding dress, standing on the top of the wall, looking behind her in despair, and the tyrant's crazy face was suddenly pulled away at this moment.Someone stood one step away from her, reaching out to her who was about to jump off the city wall.

She couldn't help reaching out her hand to respond to him.

His hands are as beautiful and impeccable as his own, the finger joints are perfect and picturesque, the palm is warm but calloused, a different kind of force tightly grasped her hand, and pulled her to the Side, far away from the high head of the city wall that is about to fall.

The hug she threw herself into was so warm, encircling her whole body, making people nostalgic.

"Don't be afraid!" The voice above the head was warm and reassuring, "I'm here, I'm holding you!"

At this moment, the tears that had been accumulated for 20 years could no longer be held back, and all the tears poured out.

At that time, no matter how much I told myself that I was not afraid, I was actually still afraid.

The warmth of the embrace in front of her dispelled all the chill from her body, until it was no longer cold, she let go, and was about to turn around and sit down again.

The voice behind him sounded again.

"Miss Jiang!"

He stood on the steps, the sunlight traced the outline of his face, and there was an indescribable warmth.

He reached out to her again.

"The city wall is too high, don't jump! Turn around! I'll pull you up!"

When she was about to sit down again, she turned around again involuntarily, and put her hand into his palm.

Warm palms pulled her into his arms.

After a long time, they separated again, and when she was about to turn around and sit down, the voice behind her came again.

"Miss Jiang!"

He reached out to her again, no matter how many times he would reach out to her.

"The city wall is too high, don't jump! Turn around! I'll pull you up!"

The tears gradually stopped, and a different kind of numbness in my heart flooded my whole body.

She didn't have time to wipe away the tears on her face, looking at Ji Chongyan in front of her, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Okay!" She smiled and held out her hand to him.

The despair when she jumped off the city wall in her previous life, and the haze buried deep in her heart, finally disappeared at this moment...
