Emperor Chongning was startled for a moment, and the expression on his face changed slightly. His shoulders slumped slightly, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. After a while, he raised his hand and waved it gently, "Ajing... The queen likes you lively little girls the most. , you might as well go and talk to her, go ahead!”

Mingyi knelt down and blessed Fu, then turned around and walked away.

When he arrived at the door of the room, he turned around and saw that Emperor Chongning had turned his back and was standing in front of a portrait with his hands behind his hands. It was painted by Emperor Chongning himself during the lifetime of the late Queen Gu. From then on, it hung on Emperor Chongning's desk and never left his side.

Today is the life festival of Queen Gu. Every year on this day, Emperor Chongning would leave everyone behind and come to Fahua Temple. It is said that this is the place where Emperor Chongning and Queen Gu first met. Unforgettable place, unforgettable people.

Mingyi looked at the lonely back of Emperor Chongning and lowered her eyes to cover up the darkness in her eyes, so... what's the good of deep love? If you hurt others and hurt yourself, why bother?
Gently closing the door, Mingyi thought that although she had been close to the emperor's uncle and the prince's cousin since she was a child, her love was nothing like theirs. This was probably because she had that person's selfishness and coldness flowing through her body. Blood?
Mingyi went to the Palace of Eternal Life, but did not see Li Fengjiao. He offered incense to Queen Gu, and then went out to look for someone.

After walking not far, she found Li Fengjiao, but the scene in front of her made her heart tighten suddenly.

Chu Yanze stood in front of Li Fengjiao. He didn't know what he was talking about. He had a slightly cold smile on his face. He stretched one hand towards the curtain on Li Fengjiao's face. The half of Li Fengjiao's face exposed outside the veil of the curtain was pale and pale. His expression became even more nervous, and he leaned back, subconsciously trying to dodge.

"Master Chu! What are you going to do?" Mingyi ran forward without thinking, raised her hand and slapped that hand. At the same time, she covered Li Fengjiao behind her and blocked her in front of her. He stared at Chu Yanze warily.

Li Fengjiao seemed to be frightened, she reached out and grabbed Mingyi's sleeve tightly.

Mingyi's heart tightened again, and her face sank, "Young Master Chu is so disrespectful to Princess Changning, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will know about it?"

Chu Yanze was looking at his red hand, which was still numb and painful. Hearing these words, he raised his eyes and glanced at Mingyi and Li Fengjiao behind her, but his eyes were mocking, "I'm not afraid that Your Majesty will know. , I wonder if the two princesses dare?"

"If I fall in love with Princess Changning, and I want to make up for my brother's loss, and take the initiative to ask for marriage, I wonder if Your Majesty will be happy?" Chu Yanze lowered his eyes, flicked his sleeves, and hid the red and swollen backs of his hands under his sleeves. All carelessly.

Mingyi's expression changed drastically when she heard this, and Li Fengjiao's hand on her sleeve tightened instantly.

"Master Chu, you clearly don't really like Princess Changning, so why would you harm others or yourself?" Mingyi's voice was tight, and she stepped sideways, blocking Li Fengjiao even more tightly.

"Harming others and harming yourself? How could Princess Yun'an know that benevolence will be rewarded?" Chu Yanze finally raised his eyes to look at Mingyi, but those eyes revealed a cold smile, which instantly sent a chill down Mingyi's spine.

Chu Yanze's lips curled up slightly and he smiled coolly, "Princess Yun'an protects Princess Chang Ning, but she protects her very closely. She really has a deep love for sisters."

Mingyi's heartstrings were stretched to the extreme. After hearing this sentence, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Princess Changning was not at all at fault for what happened that day, but it was your brother..."

"But she's still alive!" Chu Yanze interrupted Mingyi coldly, a cold light burst out from his eyes, as sharp and cold as a knife, as if it were real, stabbing straight at Mingyi and Li Fengjiao behind her.

Li Fengjiao and Mingyi both froze there, their faces instantly turning pale.

That frightened look actually pleased Chu Yanze. He retracted his frightening gaze, smiled softly, and turned around without saying a word.

Without being stared at by those eyes, Mingyi finally came to her senses and said, "Master Chu!" Chu Yanze stopped and did not look back.

However, Mingyi calmed down her expression, knelt down and bowed towards his back, and said, "I was the one who interfered with the engagement. Every wrong has its own owner, and every debt has its own owner. If Mr. Chu really harbors resentment, please still Coming at me has nothing to do with Princess Changning!"

"Mingyi!" Li Fengjiao called her, but she pressed her hand and shook her head gently.

Unfortunately, Chu Yanze didn't give them any response, and walked away as if he didn't hear them.

Seeing his back turn into a corner of the room and out of sight, Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief and stood up slowly. However, she didn't know whether she had been squatting for too long, but her knees weakened and she almost fell down. . Li Fengjiao quickly held her tightly.

Mingyi turned to look at her with a complicated expression, "Gillian, I'm sorry!" She originally thought that it was for her own good to avoid Chu Yanqing's marriage, but who would have imagined that she was dragged into this mess? middle.

"Don't say sorry again and stop me from jumping into the pit of fire. I can only thank you. As for what will happen next, who can predict? Even if he wants to complain and hate, let him go. We are not afraid!" Li Fengjiao He raised his chin slightly, although he still felt heart palpitations, he was still calm.

Mingyi lowered her eyes, covering up the dark light in her eyes, and didn't say anything more. But they also knew that even if they knew why they provoked Chu Yanze, there was nothing they could do. It's like there's a knife hanging over my head, I just don't know when it will fall, where it will fall from, and whether I can dodge it. This... is already a torture in itself.

When we left Fahua Temple, it started to rain lightly, and it brought a bone-chilling chill. Winter was coming. Thousands of miles away in Beiguan, it was already snowing heavily and the dripping water turned into ice.

There was only a pot of charcoal fire burning in the Anxi Army coach's tent. Xue Lin sat beside the charcoal fire, wearing only a quilted shirt and his other arm was bare, letting the people behind him dig out the carrion and clean his wounds. He didn't even frown, as if nothing was wrong. He twisted a piece of letter paper with his injured hand and read the words on it countless times.

"What exactly is written there? It's worth reading over and over again!" Xue Tai muttered dissatisfiedly.

Xu You gave him an elbow and said, "You are still young and don't know much about it. If you want a wife in the future, you will understand. You know, your brother will never let you know what was written in that letter. You and I can see it." As he said that, he winked at Xue Lin ambiguously.

Xue Lin paid no attention to him, but his eyes still fell on the letter. There were only a few words in the letter. After a while, he was able to memorize it. "Did she really go to His Majesty and plead for me?"

"Of course it's true. This is the news sent back by the gentleman. Don't you believe it?" Xu You said with a smile, "I just said that I won't make mistakes. This sister-in-law is a kind-hearted person. Old Xue You are blessed!”

"She has a beautiful heart and a kind heart? I think she is stupid, right? Does my brother need her to plead for mercy? Thank God if she doesn't help my brother more and more." Xue Tai snorted.

"Isn't it true that she doesn't know anything, and care will lead to chaos? If you ask me, she must have known that she was taking risks when she went to plead for mercy, but she still went. What does this mean? Doesn't it mean that she is affectionate and righteous? "Xu You stood firmly on Mingyi's side. Nonsense, the ointment given by the sister-in-law is very useful. His skin has improved a lot. When the sister-in-law comes to Beiguan, he will have to ask her for advice! "You think so? Lao Xue?" In the end, he still wanted to win over his allies. If the girl did this for him, his heart wasn't made of stone. He could always keep warm, right?

Xue Lin nodded, Xu You became more and more proud, he just said, how long has Baba'er been reading the letter? Feeling proud in his heart, he did not forget to glance at Xue Tai.

Xue Tai's face darkened.

"Too reckless!" Who would have expected that these four words would come out of Xue Lin's mouth.
