Wei Ci pursed his lips, and when he and Jiang Pengji looked at each other, his mind seemed to be sucked away by those eyes that were filled with clouds of smoke and deep pools.
At this moment, he forgot his words, let alone how to speak, and at the same time he forgot how to respond.
Seeing his stunned appearance, Jiang Pengji burst out laughing, ignoring the injury on his shoulder, got up and walked to Wei Ci, and caressed his face with his uninjured right hand. The intimacy of her movements was like a whisper of a lover, revealing some indescribable extravagance, which made Wei Ci's ears red.
If this action was placed on the little hooligan, it would be as frivolous as it was, but the person in front of him was Jiang Pengji.
She and Wei Ci can be regarded as unregistered couples, and such intimate little gestures add interest.
"Is Zixiao afraid of me?"
The corners of Jiang Pengji's lips twitched, and Wei Ci realized that her lord's lips were pale and thinner than usual.
"Afraid? Where did these words come from?" Wei Ci regained her sanity, covered the back of Jiang Pengji's hand with a generous and warm palm, and rubbed it carefully, "Ci is just a little puzzled, why is your lord like this? Do you still remember what you promised earlier? , why are you still taking risks this time?"
Wei Ci in the previous life may not have noticed much, but in this life, he can see clearly that what his master is best at is fishing and law enforcement.
For example, this time, isn't the so-called man behind the scenes the person in front of him
What Wei Ci was angry about was not her fishing and law enforcement, but that she did not care about her own safety, but actually ran away to take risks and came back with an injury.
After Jiang Pengji heard the second half of the sentence, she immediately felt guilty.
She tried to withdraw her hand, and Wei Ci, who had always been gentle with clinker, also stubbornly grabbed her hand.
The two stood still, looking into each other's eyes, neither of them willing to give in first.
For a long time, Jiang Pengji first gave up
However, she did not admit that she was afraid.
Can love, consideration, and respect for your partner be called fear
"This time it's me..."
Jiang Pengji wanted to say soft words, but Wei Ci pursed her lips and poked her wound with her free hand.
Jiang Pengji, who has always collapsed before Mount Tai without changing her color, was so embarrassed that she had to hide for a while, and said softly, "Zixiao, it will hurt."
She thought that if she acted coquettishly and served softly, Wei Ci's hurdle would be over, and Wei Ci also had a routine.
"Does your lord really hurt?"
Someone who can't change his face even if he cuts off his hands and ties, shows sincerity and nods his head like garlic.
She is injured now, no matter what she did before, the most important thing now is to coax her and care for her.
The thing that took the risk before is revealed, and it is considered that it never happened, okay
Wei Ci said, "It turns out that the lord is also flesh and blood. He has never been trained to be indestructible, and he is not as invulnerable as an immortal."
Jiang Pengji pouted and said slander, "If it's really invulnerable, they should cry."
If it is really invulnerable, the young master can't make it, let alone leave the factory.
Wei Ci was an upright boy. He didn't hear the connotation of Jiang Pengji's words, so he suppressed his anger and said to her, "Okay, since the lord is still flesh and blood, he will die at the moment. If the enemy's feather arrow hadn't pierced your shoulder , but at or near the heart, based on the structure of the arrowhead just now, does the lord think that your heart is still intact? If your heart is damaged, can you still live?"
On the school field, Jiang Pengji pulled the feather arrow out without changing his face, and the wound was caught by the barb and the flesh was blurred.
The wound that used to be only one finger wide was twisted by the arrow cluster so that it was three fingers wide, and the flesh was caught.
Wei Ci looked at him in pain, even if the other party didn't even frown, he would feel distressed.
"The lord has made a lot of promises, why did you make a blunder this time?"
Who promised Wei Ci that he wouldn't mess around again, and wouldn't take his own life to make a joke about his life
Jiang Pengji said, "I have reasons."
Wei Ci said, "The minister can't share the lord's worries, so what's the use of it? Why can't the minister be given to the minister to do the things that the master must do?"
Jiang Pengji smiled helplessly, "Let you be assassinated like this today? Zixiao, you will die."
"How does the lord know that this minister is unwilling to risk this life for you?" Wei Ci gritted his teeth, "I am willing! From the past life to this life, I have never flinched. Even if the injury suffered by the lord is not enough to threaten your life, the minister is willing to. I would also like to give my life instead.”
Jiang Pengji frowned, and then she realized that Wei Ci was really angry.
Wei Ci will not engrave anger on his face when he is angry, but his anger is no less than the pressure of his emotions.
"...I suddenly have a question. In the past life, Your Majesty Yulong Funeral Day is really at the end of his life?" Wei Ci thought of this for some reason. , "Did you risk yourself again?"
Without waiting for Jiang Pengji to speak, Wei Ci said with red eyes, "Whether Your Majesty is really driving the dragon to the funeral, or once again taking a risk and purging the Qing court to remove dissidents for His Highness Jiang Yan... No matter whether Your Majesty is dead or alive, but Wei Zixiao really died, he committed suicide."
Jiang Pengji's face was solemn.
"My lord naturally has the lord's intention to do this. As a minister, you shouldn't ask too many questions, but Wei Ci is not only your minister, but also your lover?" Wei Ci asked her, "If the lord takes the lead, what do you think? Is the minister a martyrdom, or a martyrdom?"
Jiang Pengji said, "I have to do it."
"But you can remind the minister." Wei Ci said again, "The students of Jinlin Academy are the master's hard work, and they are also the minister's. Because of you, the minister wants them to be safe and sound more than anyone else. They are related to the future layout. It is more related to the great cause of the lord. You only need to reveal a thing or two, and the minister will naturally follow in your footsteps. In the heart of the lord, is Wei Ci a wise man or a fool?"
If a smart person has one or two clues, he will not be able to guess what Jiang Pengji is thinking, and will he not be able to keep up with her pace
If he was a fool, even if Jiang Pengji told him the detailed information, he would not be able to understand the other party's intentions.
Jiang Pengji did not respond to Wei Ci, and Wei Ci's previous words were still circling in her mind.
It wasn't long after the news of his previous life's self-control of the dragon and funeral, Wei Ci committed suicide. Whether his suicide was forced by circumstances or voluntarily, or both, it was obvious that Wei Ci died, but what about his previous self? Is she really dead
Analyzing the news that Wei Ci had revealed, combined with her own understanding of herself, Jiang Pengji felt that it was unlikely.
Perhaps, it is another fishing law enforcement.
It's just that this fishing law enforcement failed, and it cost Wei Cong I's high spirits and Wei Ci's life as well.
When the guess came up in her mind, there was a slight but unignorable tingling in her chest.
After a long time, Jiang Pengji squatted down in front of Wei Ci, his line of sight was level with him.
She leaned forward, the two pressed their foreheads, and sighed, "I'm sorry, there won't be another time."
In just eleven words, the unease, anger, and sourness that Wei Ci had been repressed in Wei Ci's heart were lightly brushed away.
In the face of this person, his principles and bottom line are like farts.
"Master, there is no need to apologize."
Wei Ci lowered her voice, but she became a little more hoarse because of the anger just now.
"Does Zixiao want to see Jiang Pengji?"
Wei Ci widened her eyes suddenly, as if she had been greatly frightened.
Jiang Pengji put her hands on his shoulders and smiled.
"I, known to the world, will always have a label named Liu Xi." Jiang Pengji put his hand on the base of his ear, pinched the bloodshot earlobe with his fingers, and said, "But, Zixiao, the name you want to hear, The person I want to see is not Jiang Pengji from the beginning to the end? I want to tear off the identity of Liu Xi and restore the real name that you and I have known for many years."
When she said this, Wei Ci suddenly understood the other party's intention for this arrangement.
Familiar fishing law enforcement, familiar multiple birds with one stone.
The meticulous calculation and coquettish operation never let Wei Ci be disappointed.
Jiang Pengji said, "Most of the students in Jinlin Academy are from ordinary people, not even from poor families. More than half of them have no parents or mothers, and are alone. They have no relatives or family background, and they can only rely on themselves. They are just ordinary people themselves. , can only be used as a chess piece in a human game, and everything is involuntary. As I said, I don't blame them, I blame those guys whose claws are too long."
Wei Ci woke up from the quarrel just now and immediately went to work.
"My lord means..."
"Find someone to cut off these claws. There is no excuse for me to be more powerful than being assassinated and nearly dying..." Jiang Pengji snorted coldly, "I originally just wanted to clean up these guys, and at the same time beat others who didn't have time to move, Let them settle down. Most of the students of Jinlin Academy have to be involved in politics. Whether they stay in the courtroom or go out as local parent officials, they have infinite potential. Controlling them is equivalent to controlling the resources they will have in the future. I How could such a thing be allowed to happen? If those people are allowed to succeed, will the imperial examinations to be launched in the future cultivate talents for the country for me, or choose talons for them?"
Wei Ci said, "Unfortunately, the lord chose the Liu family."
Liu Shi should have taken control of that student a long time ago, and regarded it as a deeply buried chess game, which might be useful in the future.
As a result, he was dug up by the lord, and he secretly pretended to be Liu's and gave the students an order to assassinate him.
Fishing to enforce the law, borrowing a knife to kill, and finally letting Liu carry the black cauldron of assassination.
Jiang Pengji said, "There is a reason for choosing Liu's. I want to make a clean break with them, and at the same time let them put away their ambitions."
"The reason for the severance is to restore Jiang Pengji's name, and it is because of their children that they put aside their ambitions?"
Jiang Pengji spread his hands and said, "Yeah, I have never had any children, which made Liu's ambitions, and had unreasonable thoughts. How many hidden weapons they have deployed in the Golden Scale Academy? They bought a few more excellent but The students whose grades are not very abrupt. Those students are very promising, their studies are not top-notch, but their temperament is suitable for officialdom, and they will be able to get along in the future. If they gain a firm foothold in the court, it is not equivalent to Liu's control of real power If my future offspring can be born and grow up, it will be fine. If there is none or he will die early, they will persuade me to adopt one. If I also die unfortunately, the Liu family will be the one who will take advantage of it the most...”
In Wei Ci's mind, people from the Liu clan who had been in contact with him before came to mind.
"Is this the intention of the patriarch Liu Heng?"
Liu Ji, the former patriarch of the Liu clan, was Liu She's elder brother, but Liu Ji
Since Liu Ji held the funeral of her biological mother, her body has been deteriorating day by day, and she has been lingering on the bed for the past two years.
In order not to affect the Liu family, Liu Ji let his son Liu Heng take the throne early.
Now the patriarch of the Liu clan is Liu Heng, who is also the cousin of Jiang Pengji's body.
Wei Ci had several connections with Liu Ji and Liu Heng, and they didn't understand them deeply, but they didn't think they would be so unclear.
Instead, it's pretty smart for father and son.
Even if he is ambitious, he will not give Jiang Pengji a handle at this time.
Jiang Pengji shook her head, "It's not my cousin, the internal situation of Liu's family is a bit complicated, and this matter also implicates the concubine Gu Zhen."
"How can Madam Gu Zhen..."
"My concubine will be involved because she also has ambitions." Jiang Pengji wanted to hide it, but when she thought of her commitment, she revealed two words, "However, her ambitions were not big at first. It was just that I fanned the flames and pushed behind her. I took a…”
Wei Ci was stunned, and three consecutive questions lingered in his mind.
who I am
where am i
What am I doing
Why did the lord want to include his concubine together, and one stone will kill many birds, to clean up the Liu clan, the gentry who are about to move, and Gu Zhen
Gu Zhen has ambitions, but the magnification of her ambitions is secretly condoned by the lord.
So magical!
Jiang Pengji said with a gloomy face, "Gu Zhen is a concubine, and I am not Liu Xi. This reason is sufficient."
Wei Ci listened to the silence, this reason is indeed very good.
Jiang Pengji added, "Gu Zhen's ambition is not limited to being an empress dowager. I can give her inexhaustible glory and wealth, but human ambition is unlimited. Once the seed called ambition sprouts, even without my help, Gu Zhen will come to this point sooner or later. I just treat her a little coldly, and let her be rich and have no real power and prestige. After a year or two, she has such ambitions. There is always a relationship between me and her. A gully, she knew that I was not the real Liu Xi, but a lonely ghost who made a deal with her. She kept the secret for me, and I gave her glory and wealth. After all, this deal is not firm, so she doesn't worry about me Killed her secretly once he got power
Wei Ci said, "Mrs. Gu Zhen has this concern so..."
Jiang Pengji said, "So she betrayed me."
Wei Ci's face turned cold.
Jiang Pengji said, "Gu Zhen is very close to the Liu family. I heard that she also likes the children of the Liu family."
Without further ado, Wei Ci understood everything.
"If you touch Madam Gu Zhen... Meng Heng and Nie Xun may not be able to explain it well..."
Jiang Pengji smiled contemptuously, "I just need to restore Jiang Pengji's identity. It's not an independent line from the Liu family, but an independent family!"
When she recovers the surname Jiang, she will turn around and slowly clean up these people.
Jiang Pengji had no feelings for Gu Zhen, and the two were just collaborators from beginning to end.
Gu Zhen had ambitions first, but Jiang Pengji just took the opportunity to fuel the flames, let her ambitions go beyond the bounds, and then find excuses to fight back.
Whoever has the dirtiest heart will have the last laugh.
