"This marriage is a test by the court and a show of goodwill. I want to express my position to the court and the whole of Anxi. This marriage is also the best way to submit a petition!" Xue Lin was silent for a moment, and then admitted it frankly. The bright ripples on the river were as clear as a stream, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. He paused for a moment, and then said, "Indeed... the target is Princess Changning, and it was made possible by Master and Your Majesty. Over the years, Master has always felt ashamed of Changning. Princess, although she is in Beiguan, she is still paying attention to the news in Wangjing City." Mingyi closed her eyes. Unexpectedly, her jump failed to live up to their hard work. "Has His Majesty always had contact with him...Mr. Li?" "Yes." Xue Lin nodded, his eyes still on her face, "Your Majesty trusts Master very much. It was through Master that he got to know me and trusted me, so he supported me all the way to where I am today!" So that's it... Mingyi thought about his overt and covert concern for Li Fengjiao, thought about what he had told her that he and Li Fengjiao had an unexplainable connection, and thought about the secretly spying and familiar person she had seen twice when she was with Li Fengjiao. She even thought of Xue Lin who helped her without hesitation in her previous life... So that's it!
"A few days ago...a period of time before you went to Wangjing last year, was Mr. Li in Wangjing?" Mingyi paused for a moment and asked again. "How do you know?" Xue Lin frowned, "At that time, I heard that something happened to Princess Changning. Although she was later rescued, her face was hurt and she was still in the mansion. Master was worried, so he went there secretly. A trip to Wangjing." Based on Li Zhi's position in the Anxi army, brother Lu Zhao should know him. However, when she discovered Li Zhi, she sent Lu Zhao to investigate, but he remained silent when he came back. He must have been ordered by Li Zhi not to do anything. reveal his whereabouts. It's ridiculous, you care about your daughter, but you want to walk in the dark. Opening his mouth, Mingyi even wanted to ask him for a moment if it was because of Li Zhi that he would agree to whatever Li Fengjiao asked him to do. But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't ask a single word. It seemed that as soon as she opened her mouth, the beliefs that supported her to walk to him and stand beside him would collapse. But she didn't ask, that doesn't mean Xue Lin didn't ask either, "How did Madam recognize Mr. at a glance? Even if you and Princess Changning are sisters, even if she mentioned Mr. to you, you shouldn't have met Mr. That's right." There was a sharp light in Xue Lin's eyes, and he stared at Mingyi tightly. "I guessed it." Mingyi pursed her lips slightly without any trace of panic, "Didn't the Governor know this already? I'm the best at guessing." Xue Lin frowned, but did not pursue the matter any further. He changed the topic and said, "You just did that...to complain about Princess Changning? It seems that Princess Changning still resents the master in her heart?" Complain? Mingyi didn't know what kind of feelings she had for Li Zhi in her heart. After he ignored his own safety in the previous life and wanted to take her away from Wei Xunzhi, after knowing that he had not completely abandoned Li Fengjiao in this life, he also worried about her. , I have been to Wangjing City, and when I secretly hid aside and took a peek, my feelings seemed to be beyond the simple word "resentment" that can be summarized.
But now Li Fengjiao must be resentful. "I just don't understand why he... is like this..." Mingyi said quietly, looking up at the blue sky above her head. "It's not Master's fault, it's all mine. Master and my father were fellow soldiers in the army. My father died in battle that year. Not long before he died, I just received a letter from my uncle, knowing that my mother was no longer here. , so he entrusted me to the master and asked him to take over my father's duties and teach me reading, literacy, horseback riding and archery. The master kept his promise and returned to Lanzhou to find me after the war, and even rented a yard in Lanzhou to accompany me. In fact, In the final analysis, it was my father's selfishness as a parent who didn't want me to just live but also live well, so he asked Master to teach me. Master had also mentioned taking me to Wangjing, but I didn't want to... When I followed my master back to Wangjing, I secretly joined the army without telling him." Xue Lin's voice was hoarse, with a little bitterness, "I was not sensible at that time. Master treated me well, so I wanted him to treat only me well. When he was watching over me, I was obedient and obedient. As soon as he left, I would find ways to cause trouble and make him feel uneasy and come back to see me. In those years, I was so tired that he kept traveling back and forth between Beijing and Lanzhou, and also had an affair with his elders. The princess had a quarrel..." "Ten years ago, when my eldest brother was on a mission, Master received the news in Wangjing and was afraid that something would happen to me, so he had to rush back to Lanzhou. Unexpectedly, the eldest princess had endured it to the extreme and even took out the letter of separation. , let the master make the choice. The master had no choice but to sign the letter of divorce..." Xue Lin said, her voice getting hoarse, "In the final analysis, I am the one who really feels sorry for the eldest princess and Princess Changning, and I also feel sorry for the princess. If he can't live with his master... his wife and children will be separated, and his family will be ruined..." "I still don't understand, how can a promise...another person's child be more important than his own wife and his biological daughter?" Mingyi's voice also became hoarse, and her tone was full of confusion. "You don't understand!" Xue Lin looked at her steadily, his eyes as dark as the dark sea, "If possible, I hope you never understand." Mingyi looked at him, her heart moved slightly, thinking that his ten years of persistence was not only for Xue Bai, but also to give justice and an explanation to those comrades who, together with Xue Bai, never came back. She really doesn't understand. "I want to be alone for a while!" Mingyi looked away, and when she finished speaking, she walked towards the east chamber. Xue Lin put his hands behind his back and said nothing, watching her walk into the east chamber, watching the door of the east chamber close, and there was silence inside the door. He stood there for a while, then turned around with his lips slightly pursed. When he returned to the study room in the outer courtyard, there was already a faint aroma of food mixed with the aroma of wine. Li Zhi sat beside the low couch and poured wine while greeting him, "Come and have a drink with me! Madam, you are really... Needless to say, the dishes on this table are all according to my preferences, and they are served piping hot, but it’s a pity... that the guests and hosts could not enjoy themselves to the fullest!" Xue Lin walked over to him and sat down opposite him. Li Zhi picked up the full wine glass and handed it to him, but then thought of something and took the wine glass back, "That's all, you are injured and can't drink. If your wife knows about it, I will If I let you drink, with how she feels about me now, I'm afraid she'll be rude to me, so I'd better drink it by myself, drink it by myself!" As Li Zhi said this, he picked up the wine glass, raised his neck and drank it all. "Speaking of which, in addition to studying, literacy, horseback riding and archery, you also learned drinking from me, right? Not only that, you also learned a lot of things from me, both good and bad, but there are some things you must never learn. I..." Li Zhi smiled bitterly and kept chattering. "Master..." Xue Lin called softly with a slight choking in his throat. Li Zhi seemed not to have heard, and drank another glass of wine. His eyes were reddened by the alcohol, and he stared at him closely and said, "I'm serious, Rong Yu! I wasn't young and energetic back then. There are obviously some things I can do." Another way to handle it is better, but I chose the worst one. Don't learn from me! Rong Yu... I originally chose the word "Rin" because of your "Lin" character. Leng Taidu, I gave you this name just now, hoping that you can be more easy-going and tolerant, and that you can have more joy and peace in your life..."
