Jiang Hongwen crossed his arms and smiled helplessly, "Don't look at me. In fact, I was also kept in the dark. I'm very, very wronged!"
Qingguan raised the corner of her mouth slightly and turned her gaze away, returning to Zhao Jingyan.
The latter paused for a moment and said: "As soon as the matchmaker came out of the Gu Mansion, the palace got the letter. My father called me to ask me about the marriage between the Jiang family and the Gu Mansion."
Qingguan's expression suddenly condensed, and she seemed to have overlooked something... Yes, she ignored the old Prince Qing behind the Gu family, and the Prince Rui behind the old Prince Qing.
If the Jiang and Gu families get married... Qingguan was shocked, took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty... he does think highly of me."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jingyan knew that she already understood the strangeness behind this matter, and she admired slightly in her heart, she was smart after all.
"Qingwan must not have known that on that day, I seemed to be walking through hell, and I was covered in cold sweat."
The lake breeze blew the corners of the man's clothes, and the moonlight filled his body. What Qingguan saw was a touch of pain on his face.
"I have been favored by the Jiang family since I was a child, and my ancestors treated me like their own grandson. A small marriage actually caused great commotion in all directions, made the emperor suspicious, and almost separated me and the Jiang family." Zhao Jingyan thought The situation that day left me with lingering fear and even deeper pain.
Qingguan whispered, "Actually, as long as you tell the truth about my life experience and my madness in front of the emperor, you can eliminate the emperor's suspicion."
People say that Bigan has an exquisite heart with seven orifices. This woman really has more than seven orifices. Zhao Jingyan's heart moved, and she took two steps forward, closing the distance between the two.
"Just as Qingguan said, my father has indeed dispelled his suspicions after I said so. It's just that if there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. I can dispel my father's suspicions once, but I cannot dispel them every time."
Qingguan was shocked and blurted out, "So the prince doesn't want to survive in the cracks, but wants to take a gamble?"
clever!
Zhao Jingyan couldn't help but say hello to the woman in front of her. But his bet was not for himself, but for his brother.
Zhao Jingyan stretched out her hand and faced the crescent moon in the sky, as if she wanted to hold the moon, the mountains, the water, and everything in the world.
The moonlight was like water, shining clearly on his fingers, and the whole world was filled with a faint aura of overlord.
"You're right. I really want to make a bet. I'll bet my life and property on it. I'll bet on all these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."
Zhao Jingyan suddenly looked back, "And to fulfill the promise we made when we first met."
Gu Qingguan's eyes suddenly became hot and he turned away.
Everything she did in the past six years was just for someone in a high position to say this to her, "Did you hear the souls of the Qian family and the Sheng family who died unjustly?"
She did it.
The man in front of him is by no means an ordinary person. Under his playboy skin, he has the most astute mind, the most meticulous thinking, and the most amazing calculations. Once such a man becomes ambitious, he will be like a tiger out of nowhere.
In a daze, Qingguan bit her lip hard, wondering if she was in a dream. A hand gently fell on her shoulder, and she shuddered and quickly avoided it.
Zhao Jingyan's hands froze in mid-air, and her heart felt empty and indescribable. She was so thin that her bones could be felt through her clothes.
Qingguan adjusted his mind, turned around lightly, and said, "Why did Tinglin tell me this?"
"Help me."
Zhao Jingyan said straightforwardly without any concealment, "Qingguan, as long as you are willing to help me, I will give you what you want sooner or later."
good!
Qingguan couldn't restrain her excitement and almost shouted. He knew what she wanted, he knew it all.
It's just that she can't shout out easily, she needs to confirm his intentions again.
"Ting Lin, are you sure you want to bet? It's not just a joke?"
Don’t you believe this little girl? Zhao Jingyan took a deep breath and said seriously, "I swear on my dead mother and concubine."
Gu Qingwan smiled sweetly. This smile was as beautiful as an elf in the world, and it made the man next to him feel excited.
"Okay, I promise you!"
The spring breeze blew on his face, drying a thin layer of cold sweat on Zhao Jingyan's forehead. He stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Qingguan.
"A gentleman is a man who cannot be chased by a horse. You and I are high-fives and we are allies."
Qingguan didn't hesitate at all. He stretched out his hand and was about to strike, but Zhao Jingyan caught it in his hand.
You bastard, doesn’t this guy know that friends’ wives should not be played with? Qingguan gently pulled away, "What's your next plan, Your Majesty?"
Her hands were small and really soft, but slightly cold. Zhao Jingyan came back to her senses and said: "Let's not talk about plans for now. There is a good show today. Do you want to listen to it?"
"Tinglin, please tell me."
Zhao Jingyan pointed to the two tombs on the ground, "This place is eerie and scary. How about we walk along the river?"
Qingguan smiled slightly and took steps lightly. Zhao Jingyan smiled implicitly, followed closely, and recounted what happened today in a low tone.
The shadow of the moon stretched the two people's figures, casting countless light spots. The air near the lake was filled with light mist, surrounding the two of them, like a dream. Jiang Hongwen, who followed closely behind, looked at their backs and shook his head slightly.
After half a cup of tea, Qingguan stopped and frowned tightly.
The four most powerful men in the capital fought over her, and even brought it to the emperor... It seems that this Qingming Festival is not only lively for ghosts, but also for people.
However, the smashing of the plaque was definitely not an impulsive move, it must have been intentional. Qingguan raised his eyes and asked, "What is the intention of Tinglin's move?"
Zhao Jingyan was about to answer when she saw the soft lines of the woman's auricles under the moonlight, with a layer of fine fluff floating on them.
His heart moved, and he bent down, lowered his head, and whispered a few words into her ear.
Qingguan's ears felt hot, but her mind was attracted by his words and she didn't think much about it.
Zhao Jingyan straightened up with satisfaction and said with a smile: "What do you think of this plan, Qingwan?"
Gu Qingguan looked at the handsome man opposite, feeling a little scared in her heart. Fortunately, this man was by her side. If he were an enemy, he would be the most difficult enemy in the world.
"This is a very good plan. Overtly surrender to King Rui, secretly join forces with King Xian, first eliminate the powerful enemy, and then fight against King Xian. Who will win depends on everyone's ability. But..."
"Just what?"
"How can Tinglin win the trust of King Xian? How can he get rid of King Rui?" Qingguan hit the target with one blow.
Zhao Jingyan stroked her head in distress, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I'd like to ask you to help me think about it."
Qingguan couldn't help but want to laugh.
This guy is really confident. Without a back-up, he still dared to cause an uproar, which was really too courageous.
She shook her head and said: "Let me think about this matter carefully. It cannot be accomplished overnight. It must be done slowly."
"You are right, I would rather take advantage of each step than rush forward."
Qingguan had tears in her heart that wanted to fall. This man is steady and down-to-earth. In time, he will definitely become a wise king.
Zhao Jingyan's heart dropped, and she regained her true nature. She lowered her head and pointed at half of her face and said, "I got a slap in the face today. It's so miserable. Please give me some of those goodies."
Qingguan took a closer look and found that his face was slightly swollen. Thinking about this man's personality of showing his teeth and retaliating, I was afraid that the two of them would be in worse condition.
She took out a small green bottle from her arms and said, "I only have this with me. If you want something better, let Ali come get it. It's getting late, so go back."
Zhao Jingyan looked at her deeply and said, "Within three to five days, the Jiang family's matchmaker will come to visit again. If nothing else happens, the Gu family will definitely respond. What do you think?"
Qingguan didn't expect him to ask this question, so he thought for a moment and said, "I'm deeply loved by my ancestors, so I don't have any ideas." If I have any ideas, I can't tell you. She added in her mind.
Zhao Jingyan's eyes darkened, but the smile was still on her face, "There is one more thing I want to ask you for help with."
"you say."
"When my grounding period is over, I would like to ask you to help me see a patient."
Qingguan thought slightly and said, "Okay."
After the matter was settled, the two walked back the same way. Jiang Hongwen pointed to the moon in the sky and signaled Zhao Jingyan to leave.
Qingguan looked at his face and looked away unnaturally. The ancestor's house was messed up with the mandarin duck records, and he insisted on letting her marry into the Jiang family. This would cause trouble with the emperor, and it would be inappropriate for me to act rashly.
"Tinglin, Master Qi and I have a few words to say."
Jiang Hongwen pointed at himself, with a slight surprise on his face, and his eyes slid towards Zhao Jingyan.
The latter pursed his lips, took out the fan from his arms, shook it twice, glanced at their faces, found a step for himself, and said: "You guys chat, I'll give money to the Sheng family." Let me pay my respects."
Qingguan waited for him to go away, and after a few twists and turns in her heart, she said, "My ancestors love her so much. If I refuse, I will betray her heart. My grandfather has decided to accept this marriage."
Jiang Hongwen smiled bitterly and said with a pun: "Both of us seem to have no choice."
After saying this, Qingguan's eyes lit up. It seems that he is unwilling, so things will be easier to handle.
"Seventh Master, there is no room for choice at this time, which does not mean that there will be no choice in the future. I will be fourteen, and if I want to get married, it will probably be two years later. Two years is not a short time, a long time, but there are many things that can be done ”
Jiang Hongwen was slightly startled, laughed twice, and said: "What Miss Sixth said is absolutely true."
Qingguan was silent for a moment and said calmly: "I will cooperate with Master Qi to put on a good show."
Jiang Hongwen was even more shocked. Even if you don't have a good heart, you have to act. Someone is watching eagerly. He has some ideas and doesn't have the courage. It's just a matter of expediency.
"Don't worry, Miss Six. Although I'm a bastard, I can still perform well."
Among smart people, only half of the words are spoken, and you can know the inner world. The two looked at each other and smiled heartily.
There was a hint of malice in Jiang Hongwen's smile. He rolled his eyes slightly and said sincerely and kindly: "Let's high-five each other as allies. You and I will feel at ease."
Qing Wan smiled and snorted with a relaxed expression.
The two hands struck each other, and there was a crisp sound, which was particularly clear in the silent night.
A scorching sight shot over like an arrow, with a fierceness in it. Qingguan didn't know it and spoke softly. Jiang Hongwen raised his eyebrows three points higher. There is such a strong murderous aura that someone feels sour in his heart. Yes, yes, this palm can avenge the pain of that day's kick. It's worth it, it's worth it!
