The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

Song Qianning told no one to enter her bedroom and sat alone in front of the mirror in a daze for a long time.

Fortunately, my eldest sister, Mu Ju and the others left early. If they were still here now, there’s no guarantee that Murong Jingchu wouldn’t do something.

It’s okay that the eldest sister is a princess, but the four little palace maids including Mu Ju will probably not be able to escape the bad fate in the future.

Jiu Ye is so loyal to him and has followed him for so many years. Even if he is a dog, his master will have some feelings for him, let alone a living person.

What mistake did Jiu Ye make that Murong Jingchu had to be so cruel to him? How cruel must he be?

Alas! Song Qianning sighed, and suddenly a dark shadow jumped in from the window?

When Song Qianning reacted and subconsciously wanted to scream, she saw that the person coming was Ji Feng and immediately covered her mouth.

Ji Feng said quickly: "I have no choice but to disturb Your Majesty so late at night. This is something Jiu Ye entrusted me to give to Your Majesty before he died..."

Song Qianning stood up and walked towards Jifeng, taking the handkerchief from his hand, which was a girl's handkerchief.

Song Qianning was a little puzzled: "What is this???"

"This is the queen's handkerchief, and it's also the thing that cost Jiu Ye his life..."

"Why is my handkerchief in Jiuye's hand? Why would this handkerchief cost Jiuye's life?"

Song Qianning thought that Jiu Ye died because he had done something to displease Murong Jingchu, but now Ji Feng said that it was her handkerchief that cost Jiu Ye his life.

How could it be? The handkerchief was hers, but why was it on Jiuye's body? Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she remembered.

"This was when I was attacked by an assassin when I left the palace. Luckily, Jiuye followed me at that time. That was the first time Murong Jingchu asked Jiuye to protect me when I left the palace. In order to save me, he accidentally cut his hand. I used this handkerchief to bandage his wound..."

Song Qianning slowly recounted what happened that year. He had not expected that Jiu Ye would have kept the handkerchief until now. After the assassination, Jiu Ye was assigned to be her bodyguard.

Having protected her closely for the past few years, she didn't understand how a handkerchief could cost someone's life? ?

Ji Feng finally understood the origin of the handkerchief. He said, "Someone reported to the emperor that Jiu Ye had a secret love affair with you, the queen. When the emperor searched Jiu Ye's room, he indeed found this handkerchief under this pillow..."

Song Qianning said incredulously: "You said Jiuye, likes me?"

How is it possible? ? She and Jiu Ye had not communicated at all in these years. He was a man of few words. She would only say “um” or “ah” or reply with a few words.

At that time, she thought this man was too serious, so she just maintained a nodding acquaintance with him as an ordinary friend. How could this happen?

He said, "When the emperor found the handkerchief, he was furious and ordered Jiu Ye to be executed."

The emperor threw the handkerchief on the ground and stomped on it hard. Then he ordered Jiu Ye to be executed and left.

It was Zhuiyun who picked it up and gave it to Jiuye. It was only then that they knew that Jiuye liked the Queen.

He hid it so well that even his brothers didn't notice it. Instead, it was the Imperial Concubine who noticed it.

Zhuiyun asked Jiuye when it happened? Jiuye smiled and said, "How long ago? I can't remember, but I will never forget the time in the casino when I rescued a little girl who was running around and held her in my arms. She looked at me with shining eyes..."

Ji Feng and the others then realized that Jiu Ye had been attracted to him a long time ago, but he was so secretive that they had never noticed it for so many years...

After hearing what Ji Feng said, Song Qianning remembered what happened in the casino that year when she, her elder sister and third brother were in the casino together.

She vaguely remembered that even though Jiu Ye held her with one hand, it did not prevent him from holding the sword with the other hand and killing the enemy accurately and steadily.

At that time, she thought this person was so powerful, just like the hermit masters in Jin Yong's novels, with the demeanor of a chivalrous hero.

At that time, she even sighed that she finally understood why the women in novels and TV dramas always liked to marry the people who saved them.

But later on, she and Jiu Ye never had any contact again, and she just thought of him as a kind-hearted person who helped her out when she was in trouble.

Even though he had been protecting her safety as her personal bodyguard for the past three years, she had never thought that he had any different thoughts about her.

She just thought that she and him had an ordinary relationship as people who had known each other for a long time, like he was a bodyguard protecting her safety, or just an ordinary friend.

But she didn't expect it to be like this. What she didn't expect was that Jiu Ye hid it so deeply that even Ji Feng and other brothers who had been with him for many years didn't know about it.

She, the person involved, knew nothing about it, but Dugu Yan knew everything about it. Is this the so-called halo of the heroine?

Or maybe her mind is too extraordinary. As expected of an empress, her methods and thoughts are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. Otherwise, her family would not have all died at the hands of her and Murong Jingchu.

She shouldn't have thrown the teacup at Dugu Yan just now, she should have thrown the knife...

Song Qianning held the handkerchief and said, "Did Jiuye ask you to give it to me?"

Ji Feng nodded and said, "At that time, the three of us wanted to save Jiu Ye at all costs, but he didn't want to. Moreover, the arrow that shot him was extremely poisonous. The poison had already entered his heart and lungs and could not be cured. He asked us to give the handkerchief to the queen..."

"Did Jiuye say anything?"

"Yes! He said that as a slave in this life, he dared not fight with his master, and in the next life, he only wished that there would be no more obstacles..."

Song Qianning's tears rolled down. She didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of her.

Song Qianning choked up and said, "It was me who caused him trouble..."

Ji Feng shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with the Empress. It's just that the Imperial Concubine wants to avenge her past. When we were besieging the Imperial Concubine, it was Jiu Ye who pierced her heart with a sword. Who would have thought that she could still survive..."

Song Qianning was very surprised. She asked: "You surrounded Duguyan?"

Ji Feng felt that there was nothing to hide now, so he told everyone everything that had happened.

Song Qianning then understood why Dugu Yan wanted to put Hou Fu to death, and why he tried every means to collect evidence to kill Jiu Ye.

She originally thought that Dugu Yan was plotting against the Marquis' Mansion so deliberately because her father and his men had executed Aunt Mu, a spy from an enemy country, and Dugu Yan wanted to avenge her mother.

Unexpectedly, Murong Jingchu and his father sent troops to encircle and suppress Dugu Yan, but the people sent by his father failed.

The people sent by Murong Jingchu successfully surrounded Dugu Yan. Haha~ They are really two sewer maggots. For the sake of profit, they can actually come together.

Especially Murong Jingchu, who knew that Dugu Yan would become the empress, and killed her in order to eliminate future troubles. However, for his ambition and interests, he is now in cahoots with her.

He was really flexible! He wasn't afraid that Dugu Yan would stab him in the heart while he was asleep one day.

Speaking of the heart, she suddenly thought of something, and she said: "Didn't you know that Duguyan's heart was different from that of an ordinary person? Her heart was on the right side..."

"That's it, no wonder..."

Ji Feng finally resolved the doubts they had back then. They should have been more cautious. If they had burned everything down to be done with it, would there not be the current situation?

Song Qianning felt a little regretful. She should have made it clear in front of her father and Murong Jingchu that Dugu Yan's heart was different.

But then again, if she knew that Murong Jingchu could hear her voice back then, how could she have told him about him being poisoned?
