After searching around, Mrs. Gao found King Jiyang in a corner. He sat cross-legged on the ground without any regard for his appearance. He looked over from behind, his shoulders twitching. Mrs. Gao sighed and walked over. , "Why are you still crying?" King Jiyang stiffened, raised his hand and wiped his eyes, "I was angry with myself. I had obviously promised myself that I would not lose my temper with Jiaojiao no matter what, but just now... I still couldn't hold it back. Why didn't you hold it back?" King Jiyang said, raising his hand and slapping himself on the cheek. "What?" Gao grabbed his hand. King Jiyang still had red eyes, "I took all precautions, but in the end I still couldn't prevent this day. I thought she wouldn't remember anything. This is God's pity for us and the blessing given to us. Who knows ...When she was going to marry Xue Lin, I was worried that it was too close and would be easily noticed by others. You said that it would be best for her to leave Wangjing. Now...she went back to Wangjing and asked about it again. , I really can’t hide it anymore..." King Jiyang raised his hands to cover his eyes again as he spoke. Those words could be said to be incoherent, but Mrs. Gao understood clearly, "How come you blame me for this? It was a marriage granted by His Majesty at the beginning, but tell me, what can you do if you don't want to? Can I still take you with me?" What about my daughter resisting the imperial edict? Besides, don’t you like Rong Yu’s son-in-law? Which other noble family would have made you as satisfied as you are now?” King Jiyang covered his eyes and stopped talking. Mrs. Gao was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, her voice was slightly hoarse, "Besides, paper can't contain the fire. This situation can no longer be hidden, so just tell her..." "Then she...what if she becomes like before again?" King Jiyang choked up. Seeing him like this, Mrs. Gao raised her hand itchingly and almost hit him on the head again. She gritted her teeth and endured it, but when she spoke again, her tone was not so gentle, "It's not like I haven't seen it before. You can't pass it." After a few comfortable days, you have become afraid of wolves and tigers. Besides, didn’t your daughter say it just now? If you don’t say it now, someone will use this matter as a knife to deal with her, or deal with our uncle. what to do?" King Jiyang simply raised his hands and covered his entire face. A crying voice came out vaguely from behind his hands, "It's all me, it's all my fault... I was ignorant when I was young, but... I have caused so much trouble to you two, and I thought it would be over, but who would have thought that after so many years, you still won’t let us go..."
Mrs. Gao didn't speak, and listened to him crying for a long time. Then she raised her hand, put it on his back, and patted him gently. When I raised my head, I could hear the not-so-pleasant cry of King Jiyang in my ears. There was a waning moon above my head, and my eyes were full of clear light. Maybe life is like this, it can't be perfect, right? Now that Mrs. Gao had already talked about this, Mingyi didn't press her anymore and just waited for them to figure out the day before talking to her. After another two days of busy work, Yuan Tuo and Chen Wenyuan left Wangjing with the batch of wound medicine. Mingyi settled a matter on her mind and took some time to hand over a greeting card to the eldest princess's residence. On the day of the visit, Li Fengjiao came to pick her up in person, with a smile on her face. She took Mingyi's hand and complained softly, "Come here. Why don't you hand me a greeting card? It seems unfamiliar." "This is etiquette, it must be complete. Besides, if you don't send a greeting card first, how can you make the house prepare to entertain me? I have been craving for those exquisite snacks in your house for a long time, and I can't eat this in Beiguan. How about it? Have you prepared it for me?" Hearing these words, Li Fengjiao really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, all your favorite food has been prepared. If you don't eat enough in a while, I will have someone make it for you and send it to the Prince of Jiyang's Mansion. In short, it's determined Let you eat enough." When Mingyi left Wangjing, she locked up the Xue Mansion. Now when she came back, she didn't bother to clean it up, so she still stayed in Jiyang Prince's Mansion. The King of Jiyang and his wife were happy to have their daughter with them, and others did not dare to talk nonsense. The two of them went straight to the princess's courtyard while talking. Now that Mingyi comes to the eldest princess's mansion, she doesn't have to go to the flower hall to entertain guests. Both the eldest princess and Li Fengjiao really regard her as one of their own. When Mingyi returned to this familiar yet unfamiliar mansion, she felt complicated for a moment. When she saw the rosy-faced eldest princess, she suppressed this little complication. That's all. Since Li Zhi had already left their lives, why should he bother them again now? Not knowing some things is not necessarily bad. As expected, a sumptuous banquet was prepared in the eldest princess's residence, mostly Mingyi's favorite food. At the banquet, Mingyi was having a great time with the eldest princess and Li Fengjiao, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. Mingyi was also very happy to see the eldest princess An Tai now. No matter how many changes there are that are difficult to control and whether they are good or bad, at least the eldest princess is fine now and does not seem to be suffering from illness anymore. She feels that she has not Doing it all over again is in vain. After the banquet, Mingyi picked up the tea and looked at the eldest princess with a gentle expression, "There is something I want to ask your highness privately." The eldest princess really likes Mingyi. Although she was stunned when she heard this, she heard Xian Zhiya and glanced at Aunt Yu. The latter understood, closed his eyes and stepped back, clearing out all the servants waiting in the hall, then closed the hall door and guarded the door himself. Everything was in order, and only the eldest princess, Li Fengjiao and Mingyi were left in the huge dining hall. The eldest princess then raised her eyes and looked at Mingyi and said, "You can talk now. What is going on?" She was so serious about it. Mingyi had to be cautious. She took out a piece of silk cloth from her lapel and handed it to the eldest princess. There were faint ink stains on it, "Your Highness, please take a look. Do you recognize this pattern?" There was a strange emblem or monogram painted on the silk cloth, but it was incomplete and looked twisted and weird. Although the eldest princess didn't know why she took out such an object for her to identify, she still looked at it carefully. Just looking at it, her eyebrows furrowed suspiciously, "This thing looks familiar." Mingyi's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Does it look familiar to Your Highness?" The eldest princess nodded and looked at it carefully, "It does look familiar, but I really can't remember where I've seen it before." After saying this, she suddenly remembered Mingyi's words just now, and the doubts between her eyebrows deepened, "Yeah. ?” Mingyi nodded, smacking her lips, "When I first saw this pattern, I thought it looked familiar, but just like Your Highness, I couldn't remember where I had seen it before. I thought that His Highness was well-informed, so he might know it. , I didn’t expect that you and I are the same.” "Where did you get this thing from? What does it matter?" asked the eldest princess.
Mingyi didn't want to hide it from her, "Over the years, Governor Xue has always suspected that the powerful people in the court secretly colluded with Beidi and betrayed military intelligence. As a result, the former Governor of Anxi died ten years ago. Anxi fell into chaos for several years and became increasingly alienated from the court. , for ten years, he has never given up investigating this matter, but the man has hidden it very deep. After searching for a long time, he only found some sporadic clues. This pattern comes from the half-broken letter he intercepted. Unfortunately, the letter and this are not the same. whole." Neither the eldest princess nor Li Fengjiao expected that there was such a big involvement behind this, and their expressions couldn't help but change. "Since His Highness doesn't know, I can only ask for your help and keep an eye on it. However, this matter is of great importance, so I hope that Your Highness will." "Although I can't bear the responsibility of this family and the world, I am not confused after all. I don't have to worry about it. Don't worry, today's matter will come out of your mouth and into my ears. Apart from Gillian, there will be no fourth People know.” "Thank you, Your Highness." Mingyi curtsied. (End of chapter)
