Bu Ji's face turned green as she stared blankly at Liang Xing. When had she ever said she wanted to see him? Could he please stop being so self-indulgent?

She admitted that Liang Xing was a handsome man, incorruptible, upright, and talented. He was a rare good man in the world, with talent, good looks, family background, and an official position in the capital.

If this happened in modern times, Liang Xing would be a typical child of a high-ranking official, a rich second-generation, a talented boy, and he would have almost all the top labels.

He is indeed the dream lover of all girls.

But she didn't like Lianghang at all. At most, she felt admiration and guilt towards Lianghang.

She didn't want to see him exiled, only because the real Bu Ji didn't want to, and the people of Chu Jin didn't want to either.

A loyal minister should not be ruined by love affairs. He will achieve greater things in the future.

"Master Liang, please stop talking."

"Since you are fine, I will not come to see you again in the future."

She spoke in a resolute tone, with a serious look on her face and her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Liang Xing couldn't believe that these words came from Gillian's mouth. He staggered back two steps, staring at Bu Ji in front of him with affectionate eyes. Her face gradually blurred in his sight and was gradually covered with a layer of mist.

"If you throw me a peach, I will repay you with a jade. It's not a reward, but a token of our everlasting friendship!"

A choking sound was heard behind Bu Ji. She followed Jing Yun, and as she walked, her hands naturally clenched into fists.

Every word seemed like an awl, hitting her heart hard.

She couldn't bear it anymore and turned to look at Liang Xing. The huge feeling of her heart falling made her eyes blurry and tears welled up in her eyes. Two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.

She was sure that she did not love Liang Xing, and she was also sure that the consciousness remaining in this body deeply loved Liang Xing.

Liang Xing's every move affected the consciousness belonging to "Ah Jiao" in her body. The power of this consciousness lies in that it can make her cry and feel heartbroken at any time.

Her shoulders trembled slightly and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Master Jingyun reached out and grabbed her in time. His face was expressionless, but there seemed to be a hint of resentment in his eyes, which swept directly across the tear marks on her cheeks.

"Reluctant?"

Bu Ji nodded. Of course she was reluctant to part with it. The brocade box contained all her belongings, including a gilded bracelet, which she had given to Liang Xing. She was penniless now.

It would be difficult to take it back once it was given away, or in other words, she didn't want to argue with Liang Xing in front of Jing Yun.

She was afraid that he might misunderstand something.

Li Ji stared at her, then let go of her hand. The two of them stood opposite each other under a willow tree, next to them was a stone tablet with the words "Ouxiangtan" engraved on it.

The wind blew through the willow branches, making rustling sounds. There were lotus leaves in the lake. From the other side to this side, there were a few lotus flowers. The lotus pods were a little withered, but there were still bursts of lotus fragrance wafting in the air.

I feel relaxed and happy right now.

Bu Ji always felt that Master Jingyun was a little strange today. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was very unhappy, as if he was going to get angry at her in the next second.

He always had a frown on his face, and his eyes were darker than usual, as dark as a bottomless pool.

Who provoked him today? It wasn't some gangster provoking him, but he was not defeated, and he was not unhappy.

"If you hadn't come here suddenly, I would have..."

"You already said something."

Li Ji's eyes darkened and he asked her in a deep voice, as if he was a wife questioning her husband who was out having affairs with other women.

"Of course, I want to bring back the brocade box."

"There are my silver ingots and a gold bracelet in there. I am really penniless now."

Bu Ji was extremely depressed. He reached out and pulled off a willow branch, then hit the ground with it again and again.

"You gave him money to make his journey into exile less difficult?"

Li Ji thought she still had feelings for Liang Xing, so he asked her in a cold voice.

Bu Ji lowered his head and said nothing, just playing with the willow branch in his hand.

Li Ji reached out and snatched the willow branch from her hand, holding it high so that she couldn't reach it. She looked up at him with an angry face.

"You are such a disgusting person. What does it have to do with you? This is a matter of the court. What does it have to do with a person from the underworld like you?"

"I don't want to say it, so give the willow branch back to me."

Bu Ji stood on tiptoe to reach the thing in his hand, but he just raised his hand. She couldn't reach it at all. However, she refused to admit defeat and used all her strength. Suddenly, she lost her balance and fell directly into his arms.

She held his chest with both hands, feeling the hard yet warm pectoral muscles, and then looked up at the handsome face above her head that she had longed for and had read in books for a long time, with a prominent Adam's apple, a beautiful neckline, and an angular jaw, which was perfect to the extreme.

Her heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.

"Jing, Master Jingyun..."

But she blushed, so why did he act like nothing happened? Did he not feel anything?

"Why don't you push me away?"

She asked very directly, without even a sentence to connect the previous and the next question. Her eyes were cold but charming, and her long eyelashes fluttered like wings. She must be a reincarnated vixen.

"It's not like you haven't touched me before."

Li Ji glanced at her indifferently, speaking in a nonchalant tone.

His hands clenched unconsciously in his sleeves, and the veins on his wrists bulged, as if he was suppressing some impulse.

He should go up and hug her, but he was afraid that she would discover some flaw.

Bu Ji let go of her hand and said "oh". It turned out that she had flirted with him that day when he was drunk. No wonder he didn't even blush and didn't look surprised at all.

It seems that Jingyun has already understood her character. She is not an official lady of this era. She will not pretend to be reserved and timid in front of the person she likes.

She gets close to whoever she likes and flirts with whoever she likes, all openly and honestly, because this is outside the palace anyway.

"Master Jingyun, that Lord Liang just now was just a good friend of mine. I knew he was in danger, so it was only natural for me to send him some money."

"It's just that it was a misunderstanding. I wasted all my money."

She pouted her lips in grievance, and it didn't look like she was lying at all.

She didn't need to lie in front of Master Jingyun. Master Jingyun was not the emperor, and he didn't know any of the dignitaries in the court. She could say anything to him.

Li Ji glanced lightly at her face and said in a deep voice.

"You can sell the painting scroll given by the emperor. The money will be enough for you to spend for the rest of your life."

Bu Ji's eyes lit up. Why didn't she think of this good idea?

There are countless authentic works in the side hall of the Yiku Palace, and each painting is worth hundreds or thousands of taels of silver.

Indeed, selling just one painting scroll would be enough for her to live on for the rest of her life.

"Hey, how did you know that the emperor gave me a painting scroll?"

Li Ji coughed twice and wanted to explain, but Bu Ji found an excuse for him.

"I see. You can climb walls and run on rooftops. You must have sneaked into the palace and seen it."

"Why didn't you come out to see me? Was it because I was still unconscious that you left your rouge box and left?"
