The heavy snow swirled and enveloped the entire Jishan Mountain, but it still couldn't cover up the bloody smell!
Jing Rong looked at Duke Yu's body, the long sword in his hand was dripping with blood, and the hot blood flowed down the blade to the sharp tip of the sword, dripping drop by drop on the white snow beside his feet.
"Can you promise me one thing?"
"When the time comes, let him die!"
In his ears, Wei Yi's voice echoed.
He clearly agreed, but now, he broke his promise.
…
Qi Zhen twenty-one years, winter.
"Fengtian, the emperor's edict said, today's virtuous king is deceived in virtue, loyal and filial, and violated the holy, the root of the country's harm, it is a crime of disrespect, therefore, stripping off the title of the prince and banishing to Lingzhou, the year of immortality will not be returned. Jing, please accept this."
"Fengtian, the emperor decreed, Wei Yi is the son of the prince of the country, he is good and righteous, respects his arrival, and is specially appointed as the king of Shunjun."
Everyone involved in this matter was also arrested, including the Minister of Officials, Master Qu, General Li, Master Yu, etc...
The award, of course, also declined.
After that day, Emperor Qi Zhen was seriously ill in bed and no longer went to court. All matters in the court were ordered to be handled by Jing Rong.
The county palace.
Wei Yi is now the king of the county, and he has set up his own business. The emperor is benevolent and even buried the body of Duke Yuguo in the mausoleum.
In the backyard of the mansion, there are seven or eight children laughing and playing in the snow, sometimes chasing around the flower beds, sometimes pulling a few bamboos from nowhere and knocking on the ground, or rubbing snowballs and playing. Happy.
Wei Yi was sitting on the stone steps with a thick mink fur coat on his body. Snowflakes fell on him playfully. He didn't want to brush it. As a child, he also showed a bit of indulgence.
The child surrounded him and pulled him, "Brother Jun Wang, come play snowball fight with us."
"Brother Jun Wang, you play with us."
"Brother the King..."
He was pulled up by the children and played a game of snowball fights.
The sound of joy filled the backyard.
Ji Yunshu stood in the long corridor in the distance, quietly watching the scene in front of him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
She wished she could always be as happy and carefree as she is now.
The girl beside her asked, "Can't the girl come over?"
She shook her head, took another deep breath, and looked at the white snow that filled the sky.
Said: "In the blink of an eye, a year has passed."
He didn't know that when she said these words, Wei Yi in the distance was looking at her. What caught his eye was that slender and thin body, dressed in elegant clothes, and long hair shawls, fluttering gently with the wind, although those eyes were deep and bright, but there was a look of light worry on the delicate face. , standing under the corner of the promenade, it is quite beautiful to make people want to reach out and hug
Feeling, Wei Yi could see the fascination, until he was grabbed by the children next to him, and then his thoughts were pulled back and he joined the "snowball fight" again.
Loud laughter, echoing for a long time...
A few days later, New Year's Eve.
Jingxian set off for Lingzhou.
He was dressed in ordinary people's clothes, holding an old bag in his hand, and only a few old clothes. His face was plain and pale, and his eyes were calm. It's much easier as if a heavy burden has been lifted.
Looking at the cloudless sky, he took a deep breath.
So comfortable!
And when he left Beijing, only Mo Ruo came to see him off.
"Lingzhou is a good place. It is like spring all year round. After you arrive, take care of yourself. In short, be careful along the way."
Jing Xian smiled and said, "It's rare that you still come to see me today."
"Let's say goodbye today. I don't know when we can meet again. In any case, I should come to see you off."
"Moruo... I owe you."
"You don't owe me anything, and you don't owe me anything. You don't need to carry this burden all the time. Although you and I can no longer be the same as before, I sincerely hope you are well."
Jing Xian's eyes were wet, and his heart had thousands of words, but he spoke only two words.
"Thank you!"
And he suddenly remembered something, took out a delicate bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Moruo.
"what is this?"
"This is the antidote to toad poison."
Mo Ruojing: "How did you know?"
"Actually, from the day you brought Miss Ji into the palace to see me, I knew she was infected with toad poison. You should know that my mother-in-law is good at using poison, so I followed her. It's not that there is no cure, as long as you take this medicine, you will be cured."
Moruo was very excited when he took the "life-saving medicine".
He also thanked Ji Yunshu.
Jing Xian: "Today is New Year's Eve. This is a day for families to reunite. If you want to go to Prince Rong's mansion this year, you don't need to send me off. Go back and prepare early."
"I have something for you."
"Yep?"
Moruo took out an object from his waist and stuffed it into his hand.
At first glance, it was the fish-shaped jade pendant he had found outside Beijing for Jing Rong.
He gently rubbed his fingers on the jade pendant and smiled bitterly.
"After all...he still can't forgive me."
"You misunderstood. He knew that you smashed your mother-in-law's jade pendant, so he asked me to give this jade pendant to you. Perhaps, you need this jade more than him."
"I see."
He breathed a sigh of relief and put the jade pendant away.
After saying goodbye, he got on the carriage and left the capital.
Outside the capital, snowflakes fly.
The carriage was moving very slowly.
Jing Xian lifted the curtains and looked out, the mountains outside were vast and white, the monotonous white did not make people feel dull, but more comfortable.
"Chirp..."
Another group of gray magpies flew overhead and quickly rushed into the woods on the side. Occasionally, three or five of them left the team and flew up and down on the top of the woods.
So cute!
Looking at this scene, he had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of longing.
Lingzhou is a good place. It is like spring all year round, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It will be the place where he will stop in his whole life.
Thinking of this, he looked forward to it even more.
suddenly-
Pain in the chest!
He frowned, coughed twice, blood spurted out of his nose and mouth, splashing onto his clean robe, he reached out and wiped it, making his hands covered in blood.
At this moment, he knew that he couldn't wait, he couldn't wait to go to Lingzhou, he couldn't wait to see the beautiful scenery there, and listen to the moving chirping of birds.
He pursed his lips and instructed the people outside the carriage, "Trouble... you guys hurry up."
The outsider replied, "Yes."
As a result, the carriage traveled much faster than before.
He leaned against the wall of the car, struggling to support his battered body.
Freed!
No need to go back to that icy palace again, and no need to go through one cold winter after another. Perhaps, the return of the chicks is really a certainty!
