outside the imperial city

As soon as Yao Fanglan walked out of the room, she felt that something was wrong, which could be called one of the biggest crises in her 26 years of life.

He scratched his hair resignedly: "When did you start listening?"

Yao Fanglan was really flustered.He was always clear about how much Jing Shuo wanted to know the truth; despite this, he still concealed the truth for so long, and even burned important evidence.Although the evidence was originally prepared by Bei Qianling to win him over.

Obviously vowed not to hurt him again, but in the end, she still betrayed his trust.

In other words, Bai Zeyu must have known that Jing Lishuo was outside, why didn't he remind him?

Just like when he rushed out last night, Jing Lishuo only put on a coat.

"In the beginning."

"Okay, then I'll be even more embarrassed." Yao Fanglan pondered, "I—"

Jing Lingshuo took a step forward and kissed him gently, tenderly and lingeringly.

When the lips were parted, Yao Fanglan's face turned red, and she whispered: "You can't go back... This is your master's room."

Jing Shuo's forehead rested on his forehead: "I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back. Some words made me so happy, although the rest made me want to beat you up."

"What?" Yao Fanglan teased, "Is it because I love you and I don't want you to suffer any more harm because of me, or as long as your heart is on me? Or..." The corner of his mouth hooked, "I will never throw it away. Let me go alone first?"

Ripples suddenly appeared in Ruifeng's eyes.

"Sure enough, the key point is the last sentence." Seeing that Jing Shuo was about to kiss him again, Yao Zanglan patted him on the head, "We'll talk about it when we go back, aren't you afraid of the cold?"

So Jing Yanshuo hurriedly followed.

Hearing the sound of the two going away, Bai Zeyu felt sorry for his beloved disciple. He was so clever since he was a child, but now he is restrained to death.

After the two returned to the room, they stopped arguing, but sat face to face on both sides of the table.

"You don't blame me for not telling you the truth?" Yao Fanglan looked at his face carefully.

Jing Yushuo shook his head: "I know that Bei Qianling prepared that letter to win me over. You are useless, it is for my own good. I don't blame you, but I don't agree with your idea of ​​bearing hatred alone .”

"En." Yao Fanglan said, "Thank you for your understanding. I will tell you what you want to know. You ask me to answer. I know everything, and I can say everything."

"Okay." Jing Shuo thought for a while, "The first question, did we meet each other when we were young?"

"I didn't expect the first question to be this." Yao Fanglan smiled, "Yes."

Jing Lingshuo took a deep breath: "I don't have memories of before the age of six, do I?"

Yao Zanglan wrapped Jing Lingshuo's fist with her hand and put it in front of her chest: "Yes."

"why?"

"Jianshuo," Yao Fanglan said, "I remember you said that you dreamed that your mother asked you to take a medicine, right? That should be a real thing. The medicine you took belongs to my Yao family. The secret medicine is called 'Life of Nine Deaths'. People who take it will stop breathing and heartbeat, as if they are dead. The side effect of the medicine is that it will cause the memory loss of the user."

"..." Jing Shuo was quiet for a while, "The third question, my parents were killed by traitors, not as they told me, one died of exhaustion and the other was Thinking too much?"

"Correct."

"Then, the one who killed them was the current queen, your enemy?"

Yao Fanglan's tone was indifferent, as if it was not the case: "Why do you think so?"

"The sound of that person's footsteps and voice appeared in the dream." Jing Lingshuo said anxiously, "You tell me first, don't you?"

Yao Fanglan closed his eyes: "No."

"Look at me and say." Jing Yushuo broke away from his hand and squeezed his chin, "Yao Yao, tell me you won't lie to me."

Yao Zanglan opened his eyes and looked straight into Jing Shuo's eyes: "I didn't lie to you."

Jing Lingshuo laughed back angrily: "Then who are you telling me?"

"I'm not omnipotent either." Yao Fanglan didn't waver at all, "I don't know."

"Yao Yao, I know you are afraid of taking risks with me, but what makes you distrust me so much?" Jing Shuo said, "We have known each other for so long, what reckless things have I done? Or do you think I can't control myself when things go wrong?" Save?"

"I know how strong you are, but no matter who the murderer is, you will hate him. Hatred is not an emotion that a person like you should have."

Whether it was saving Jing Junxi, who was likely to kill him in the future, or trusting himself as an enemy, Yao Zanglan felt from the very beginning that even though Jing Junshuo had killed countless people on the battlefield, his heart was still toward kindness.And hatred will tarnish such goodness.

"Well, but I don't know who the murderer is." Yao Zanglan pushed his hand, "Let go, next question."

"Not anymore." Jing Shuo let go of his chin.

"No more?" Yao Fanglan raised her eyebrows, "Sleep if no more."

"Yao Yao," Jing Yanshuo said softly to his back, "We both want to bear everything for each other, but that's impossible. It's like I want to block all attacks for you, but you are still injured Generally, if you don't want me to hate anyone, I will still find out the murderer. It's just a matter of time."

Yao Fanglan stopped taking off his coat.

"You and I are both men, you should understand how I feel at the moment."

Yes, I understand, but I don’t think empathy.

"You won." Yao Fanglan put back on the half-taken coat, "It's her right."

Jing Lingshuo's breath was suffocated.After a long time, he exhaled: "Really."

"Yao Yao, can you tell me the whole story? My mind is very messy, those dreams are always," Jing Shuo said, "always intermittent."

"Some things, I really don't know. If you can, it's best for you to go through it yourself." Yao Zanglan took out a box of incense and put it on the table: "This box of incense can make you fall into a long sleep, induce People dream. Maybe if you sleep long enough, the dreams will connect."

"Some of the users who had escaped death recovered their memories in the end, and most of them didn't. There is no precedent for someone like you to re-experience the past in the form of dreams." Yao Zanglan opened the box, "Would you like to try it? If you try, you may be able to remember it completely. But you were young at the time, so I can't guarantee anything."

"Just give it a try, it's fine." Jing Shuo emptied the incense burner, then grabbed a handful from the box and put it into the incense burner.

Yao Fanglan lit the incense burner.

"I will be by your side and accompany you. Don't worry." Yao Fanglan adjusted the corners of the quilt for him.

"Aren't you going to sleep together?"

Yao Fanglan shook her head: "Someone has to watch you."

The smell of this incense is very special, more fragrant than any he has smelled before, strong but not irritating.Jing Shuo's eyes didn't close for a long time before he felt dizzy.

There was the sound of rain rushing outside the window, Yao Zanglan moved the chair to the side of the bed, and sat quietly beside Jing Lingshuo.

"Suo'er, come here." Jing Xichen waved to little Jing Shuo.

Xiao Jing Shuo said a few words with his partners, then put down the ball and ran to Jing Xichen's side: "Daddy."

"Shuo'er, today is your sixth birthday, and father has prepared a birthday party for you tonight." Jing Xichen said, "The emperor, imperial concubine and their son will all be here tonight, do you know what to do?"

Xiaojing Lishuo received all kinds of etiquette education since he was a child, and it wasn't the first time he met the emperor, so he didn't feel flustered, but just felt very strange: "Is it the imperial concubine? Is it the empress Liu Shan?"

"No." Jing Xichen's expression was not very good-looking, "This imperial concubine is newly appointed by the emperor, so don't talk nonsense in front of her."

"Understood." Jing Shuo bowed, "Father."

Jing Xichen nodded in satisfaction.Called two servants: "You take the little prince to freshen up immediately."

King Jinyuan has always been the emperor's right-hand man, and in Jing Xichen's generation, he is even more favored.King Jinyuan's youngest son celebrated his birthday, and the dignitaries in the city naturally came whenever they could.The huge palace was packed to the brim for a while.

"Father is really an exaggeration." Jing Lingshuo was wearing a red and black dress, standing in the lobby with a smile on his face, and whispering to Jingyang at the same time.

Jingyang straightened his tiara for him: "There is no way to do this. Who made you the heir of King Jinyuan?"

A middle-aged man walked up to the two of them and saluted: "Princess, little prince."

Jingyang immediately returned a salute: "Lord Cao."

"This is the current prime minister Cao Peining." Jingyang introduced, "Suo Er, quickly salute Cao lord."

"Lord Cao." Jing Yanshuo followed Jingyang's movements once, "Prime Minister, you are so amazing."

Cao Peining smiled and said: "Why, the little prince doesn't want to be a prince when he grows up, is he quite a prime minister?"

Jing Lishuo blushed, waved his hands again and again and said, "No. From now on, I will be a great general!"

"Oh?" Cao Peining became interested, "General?"

"Killing the enemy on the battlefield and defending the homeland, that's what a man should do." Jing Yushuo scratched his face childishly, "However, the prime minister is also very powerful! Above one person, under ten thousand people, the right hand of the king, standing high in the temple. Able to observe the affairs of the world, plan strategies, and be slick in all directions."

"Haha, Princess," Cao Peining said to Jingyang, "Your son will be very successful in the future."

"Master Cao is serious." Jingyang thanked.

"The Emperor is here—"

With a solemn announcement, all the people in the palace knelt down.

Emperor Shaoxuan passed through the crowd, came straight to Jing Lishuo, and helped him up from the ground: "Haha, Li Shuo doesn't need to be so polite, I'm here to celebrate your birthday today, you are the biggest. Get up."

Jing Lishuo stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, all blessings, Your Majesty."

Being so well-behaved at such a young age, Emperor Shaoxuan was in a better mood, and said with a smile: "Everyone else should get up too, today is the biggest one."

"Brother Huang," Jing Yang said respectfully, "Thank you for coming to Shuo'er's birthday banquet in spite of your busy schedule."

Seeing Jingyang, Emperor Shaoxuan couldn't help smiling: "Jingyang, you don't need to be so polite to me."

Jingyang didn't answer, but looked behind him: "This is it?"

Emperor Shaoxuan gave way and showed them the lady.The jeweled phoenix crown and the long skirt of auspicious clouds, Jing Lishuo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help looking at Jingyang beside him.

He remembered Jing Xichen's words and didn't dare to say them out loud, but this imperial concubine really looked a lot like Jing Yang.Although looking closely, Jingyang's facial features are still more delicate, but under the cover of makeup and powder, the brilliance of this noble concubine surpasses that of Jingyang.

"What are you looking at?" Jingyang laughed, "Why don't you greet the imperial concubine quickly?"

Only then did Jing Lishuo come back to his senses, and corrected his demeanor and posture: "Greetings to the imperial concubine and empress."

The imperial concubine kept staring at Jingyang, and when she heard Emperor Shaoxuan's unpleasant cough, she turned to Jing Shuo and said, "My lord, don't be too polite."

Jing Lishuo raised his head and met those smiling eyes.

At that moment, he believed that he saw the vicious emotion in this woman's eyes.

Hey.
