Hearing this, Ji Lingxue turned to look at Xiao Yichen who was questioning her. He was majestic and majestic in his white dragon robe. He was standing on the city wall, the wind rolled up his clothes and hair, and he looked like a king. The setting sun was behind him. Became a foil.
Ji Lingxue cheered for herself in her heart. She couldn't match her in terms of momentum, but she couldn't lose her magnanimity.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "I didn't intend to release Xiao Yimo, he was the one who threatened me."
Xiao Yichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was not what he asked.
Why fake death? Even if she wanted to trick everyone into pretending to die to get out of trouble, why not tell him that he was her husband and the most trustworthy person for her.
Did she leave the capital after faking her death? Where did she go? The world is so vast that it is full of dangers. Why didn't she tell him what she wanted to do? Was it because she was afraid that he would stop her from doing it? He was not rigid and would help her as much as he could.
Even if we don't mention these past events, now that she is in the palace, why doesn't she come to see him? Ji Lingxue, who do you think I am in your heart
Although Xiao Yichen had many questions in his heart, he also went back and forth in his mind to ask them many times. When he saw Ji Lingxue's thin cheeks and the sadness in her eyes, the words that came to his mouth turned out to be: "I was late and I frightened you." !”
Ji Lingxue took a deep breath and said, "Aren't you angry with me?"
She lied to him and made such a big joke with him. Anyone would be angry, but Xiao Yichen's words were not blaming, but made her feel warm in her heart.
Xiao Yichen pulled a straight face and said, "Of course he was angry, but seeing you jump so desperately, the anger also dissipated." As he said that, he held Ji Lingxue's hand and flew towards the palace. Some things were It's time to do the math.
Ji Lingxue asked: "Why don't you ask me how Xiao Yimo got out of the secret prison? He is the biggest danger to you now that he has left the palace. Aren't you afraid?"
Xiao Yichen said: "He has been sitting in that position for many years, and he knows the topography of the palace very well. There are some things that only contemporary emperors know. It is not surprising that there is a secret escape in the palace."
Bingo, he guessed it completely!
Xiao Yichen held Ji Lingxue in his arms and stopped at the door of the palace. Ji Lingxue looked up and saw that it was not Xiao Yimo's Qianqing Palace, but Chenhua Palace.
Xiao Yichen said: "I don't care about the palace that Xiao Yimo used. The name of this palace was inscribed by me. How about it? It's not bad, right?"
Ji Lingxue nodded, "This is a very clever name. You can tell it is for the royal family."
Xiao Yichen opened the door. The palace was very quiet. Ji Lingxue was a little strange. She didn't meet any maids or eunuchs along the way.
Xiao Yichen said: "The palace servants who served Xiao Yimo have all been kicked out of the palace. Even if there are new palace servants, it is inevitable that there will be some spy spies among these palace servants. You know, the palace ladies can still marry their husbands and live a normal life after leaving the palace." People's lives are different, but those of eunuchs are different, so many eunuchs will change their names and identities at home to continue to work in the palace. "
Ji Lingxue said oh like this. After the two of them entered, the palace door slowly closed. Xiao Yichen said that Ji Lingxue sat down on the chair, looking like she had something to say.
Ji Lingxue looked at her surroundings and didn't pay much attention to the distance between Xiao Yichen and her. Until the other person's hands were on her shoulders, her heart skipped a beat like an electric shock. She turned around and found that the two of them were looking at each other.
The sky was getting dark, and as soon as the door was closed, the light in the room became even dimmer. All she could see in her eyes were Xiao Yichen's black, star-like eyes. His breath sprayed on her cheeks, tickling her warmly, and her heartbeat was also beating for some reason. Much faster.
Xiao Yichen smiled and said: "Now let's have a good chat."
Ji Lingxue's eyes drifted, "Xiao Yimo escaped from the palace, why don't you go to Chi Feng to discuss countermeasures?"
Xiao Yichen said: "It doesn't matter, you are more important."
He hadn't figured out how to deal with Xiao Yimo yet, but now the result was pretty good. He would welcome Xiao Yimo to force him into the palace at any time.
Ji Lingxue swallowed her saliva and continued: "Don't you want to know the secret passage in the palace? What if Xiao Yimo enters the palace from the secret passage and kills you by surprise?"
Xiao Yichen: "He will be alone for a while and will not be able to make a difference."
Ji Lingxue: "..."
Xiao Yichen smiled and said: "Ji Lingxue, you tried so hard to change the subject, are you afraid to face me? Or are you afraid that I will be angry like Xiao Yimo?"
Thinking of Xiao Yimo, Ji Lingxue shrank his neck, and the bruises on his neck were visible in Xiao Yichen's eyes. He raised his hand and touched it, and his voice couldn't help but soften, "Does it hurt?"
Ji Lingxue shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Xiao Yichen said: "Since you don't want to recruit people from the truth, then let me guess and see if my guess is right?"
Ji Lingxue: "..."
Xiao Yichen: "You went to see Ji Yuqing that night. Do you want to know who was secretly helping her make plans to deal with you? Ji Yuqing is not very smart. With her previous methods, she could at most poison you or set you up. A little woman like falling into the water has such thoughts, but this time there are different rumors about your life experience, which makes the royal family lose face. Even if the rumors are false, they become true when they are told by too many people. Even the palace has to remove you, Princess Chen, because of the rumors. Although you are angry, you will not kill Ji Yuqing. Only by keeping her can you know who is behind the scenes.
But what you didn't expect was that Ji Yuqing was killed just after you left Ji Yuqing's house. Someone colluded with the secret guards in the palace. Without witnesses, the situation was very unfavorable to you, so I locked you in the dungeon of the palace. You wanted to save your life, but you didn't think so. You agreed with Ange and took the medicine to fake death so that everyone in the palace knew that you were dead, so you left the city smoothly. "
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yichen stared into Ji Lingxue's eyes and asked, "Am I right?"
Ji Lingxue nodded, "You guessed it right, I want to leave Prince Chen's Mansion, leave you, leave this place of right and wrong. When I was in the dungeon, Ange came to me and said he wanted to rescue me, but I refused, with his status , If you save me, I will be implicated."
Xiao Yichen bit Ji Lingxue's shoulder, "I'm not good enough to you. Why did you run away from me several times? If Chi Feng hadn't accidentally discovered your identity, didn't you plan to never have anything to do with me in this life?"
Ji Lingxue lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Xiao Yichen looked at his drooped eyelashes, with a bitter taste in the corner of his mouth, and a trace of blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth. He let go of Ji Lingxue's hand and slowly turned around, "Ji Lingxue, I own the country and sit in the supreme position. I can control life and death, but I can't control your heart. I thought that as long as I became the emperor, I could give you all the sense of security. I could risk the world's disapproval and let you be my queen. From now on, there will be no conspiracy to separate us, but I didn't expect... you You lied to me. Your chic departure told me that you didn’t care at all about what I had done for you.”
At the end, Xiao Yichen's voice gradually dropped, and he clutched his chest, feeling depressed and uncomfortable.
Ji Lingxue looked up at Xiao Yichen, who had his back turned to him, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"Xiao Yichen, you never understand what I want." She smiled bitterly. You thought you gave me the best, but you didn't know that those gifts were never what I wanted.
A guard could be heard kneeling on the ground outside the door, "Your Majesty! I have something to report to you!"
Xiao Yichen turned his head and glanced at Ji Lingxue, then turned around and left. If Ji Lingxue left again, he would never pursue her again and treat her as if their fate was over.
As soon as Xiao Yichen left, the room instantly became quiet. Ji Lingxue lay on the table and went through everything that happened today in her mind.
Xiao Yichen said that Chi Feng discovered her identity? What about the human skin mask on her face? Does Ruge know she is in the palace
A bunch of doubts could not be solved. The night enveloped the earth and there were no lights in the house. Ji Lingxue walked to the window and opened it. Behind the flowers, An Ge knelt there upright. He didn't know how long he knelt there.
An Ge: "Master, are you okay?"
Ji Lingxue shook her head, "It's okay, I was just a little frightened. How did you know I was here?"
Ange: "The emperor flew back with you. Although the subordinates are far away, they can recognize him as the master at a glance."
Ji Lingxue's black line, Xiao Yichen took her back to the palace in such a high-profile manner. It seemed that many people saw it, including Evian.
Just as Ji Lingxue thought, Evian no longer had the leisure to read at this moment. Ever since Xiao Yichen took Ji Lingxue back to Chenhua Palace, she had been pacing in the room irritably.
Ji Lingxue, isn't she dead? She has personally verified it. Why is she alive and well now
Linglan came back with a food box, arranged the dinner and said, "Master, come and have a meal. The food won't taste good if it's cold."
Yiyun glanced at the meal on the table and said: "How can I be in the mood to eat now? Have you asked, is it really Ji Lingxue, how did she enter the palace?"
Linglan nodded and said: "When I went to the imperial kitchen to get meals, I heard from the steward aunt that she thought the queen was the new maid. It's strange that Ji Lingxue spent a long time in the imperial kitchen without saying that she was. "Who, the emperor has been to the imperial dining room today. It seems that she is unwilling to return to the palace. Master, don't worry too much. Your status in the emperor's heart is different. The emperor will never neglect you."
Yiyun said, "The emperor hasn't come back yet, has he?"
Linglan nodded, covered her mouth and snickered, "That one got into big trouble as soon as she returned to the palace. The emperor is helping her deal with her funeral affairs and won't be back soon."
As a sincere servant, Linglan hopes that Xiao Yichen will always be the emperor, so that she can be blessed by her master's side.
Evian pointed to the dishes on the table and said: "Put them all away, let's go to Chenhua Palace to have a look."
Ji Lingxue was back, and she wanted to say hello.
Lily of the Valley understood and did not forget to spit into the plate when she was collecting the dishes.
In Chenhua Palace, Ji Lingxue briefly told An Ge about what happened in the palace, "I can't leave the palace now. You go to Dayan Station and talk to Ru Ge and tell him not to worry."
Ange lowered his head, remained silent for a moment and said, "Master, the Emperor has sent someone to use Master's human skin mask to take your place back to the inn."
The corner of Ji Lingxue's mouth twitched. Xiao Yichen's movements were really fast, and he had already thought out the way out for her. She was Ji Lingxue now, so Ruxue's identity could not be used. It was difficult for Dayan to explain without the princess, so she just found someone to pretend to be her.
