Chapter 243 The Concubine's Daughter and His First Wife (24)

Stepping out of Guanghong Hall, the hustle and bustle seems to go away in an instant, followed by the hazy and quiet night.There was a deep chill in the night wind in winter, Jian Ming shivered, looked up at the back of the palace maid Caidie, and pursed her mouth into a straight line.

The queen thinks she is destined?

Jian Ming would never believe this kind of nonsense. She is not a heroine, but she doesn't have those auras that make people like her.Then what is left is very likely to have some kind of purpose, which is worth considering.

"Miss Jian, it's in the pavilion ahead. It's inconvenient for the servants to go there, so I'll take a step first." Just as he was guessing about various possibilities, Caidie, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, turned around and bowed to her, then slightly With a smile, he went back the same way.

Jian Ming subconsciously raised her eyes to look at her, with a dazed look on her face. In this situation, she can now be sure that it is definitely not the queen who wants to see her, but someone who borrowed her name.

The place where she is standing now is a bluestone path, and under the moonlight, she can see the hexagonal pavilion with double eaves hidden in the night not far away, her eyes slightly narrowed, she curled her lips with a sneer, and walked away.

Getting closer to the pavilion, Jian Ming could clearly see a person sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion, it was a man with a tall and straight figure, hard to hide his familiarity.

It turned out to be Huo Qihan!

Jian Ming's heart trembled, it was unexpected but also reasonable, did this come to settle accounts? !
She was thinking inwardly, without stopping, she had stepped into the pavilion.

"I've met the Duke of England." Jian Ming looked calm, with a slight smile on his face, and slightly bowed his knees and saluted.

Huo Qihan glanced at her indifferently, then nodded to signal her to sit down, and Jian Ming sat down on the stone bench opposite him.

"You violated the agreement." Huo Qihan looked at her fixedly, a smile suddenly broke out on his expressionless face: "But... I will give you a chance to explain."

What Huo Qihan said was strange, no, to be precise, it was because of his strange attitude.Suspicion flashed across Jian Ming's eyes. She seriously considered all possibilities, but found nothing in the end. She couldn't imagine the purpose of Huo Qihan's boring behavior.

The smile on her face faded away, the corners of her lips were slightly pursed, her eyes looked at Huo Qihan coldly, and she said word by word: "There is no explanation, the enmity is formed, and it can make things worse, why should I refuse?"

"This statement is very frank, but this is not the answer I want." Huo Qihan's expression did not change, he shook his head slightly, his eyes were meaningful: "You ruined my people, what are you going to do to make up for it?"

Jian Ming was shocked by these words for an instant, she couldn't figure out what Huo Qihan was thinking at all, whether this kind of attitude of provoking the teacher was too gentle, after all, she was already prepared for the storm.After pondering for a moment, she blinked, and suddenly laughed: "Master Guo's words are not right. When it comes to the culprit, there is someone else."

"Feng Chuan?" Huo Qihan chuckled lightly, his tone was suspicious, but his eyes couldn't be firmer.

Jian Ming shook her head as a matter of course, pointed her finger upwards, and said with a smile: "Isn't there another one above, I don't believe it, the Duke of the State has no idea."

"It's so good if you know it in your heart, so what if you don't know it. Could it be that you still hope that I will fail to commit the next crime." Huo Qihan said slowly, without the slightest anger in his words.

Jian Ming pursed her lips, and suddenly thought of a key point. She considered her words and said hesitantly, "I suddenly realized that you don't seem to value my elder sister as much as I imagined."

As soon as these words came out, Huo Qihan fell into a brief silence, and it took a long time before he said with a low smile: "Maybe."

The ambiguous answer made Jian Ming frowned, and a gust of cold wind made her shiver slightly. She took a deep breath and said helplessly: "So, what is the matter with the Duke today? It's cold, I don't want to be stupid."

"Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. Where did you get the news from?"

Jian Ming understood what he meant, but she didn't answer immediately, but turned her head to look around.

Seeing her movements, Huo Qihan couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, it's very safe here."

"Master Guo is so capable that he can even infiltrate this palace compound." Jian Ming praised with a smile that was not a smile, and then answered his question just now: "Master Guo just asked, forgive me for not being able to answer, this is my The fundamentals of making a living and living a life have come to an end once the road has been explained clearly.”

"You made a move on Jian Yao."

"so what?"

"Since this is the case, does it mean that I can also attack you?"

"I'm afraid the Duke will be disappointed. Now I am sure to save my life."

"You may have misunderstood what I mean, but one day you will understand that everything in the world is exchanged at equal value. I hope you will keep this in mind."

The atmosphere between the two was quite tit-for-tat, and finally ended with Huo Qihan's meaningful sentence. He stood up neatly, looked down at Jian Ming who still had a dazed expression, and said lightly: "Let's go, I'm looking for you today. Wanted to tell you that."

Seeing that Huo Qihan was about to step out of the pavilion, Jian Ming hurriedly got up to follow. When she came here, she was full of thoughts and didn't remember the route at all. If she wanted to go back now, she could only follow Huo Qihan.

Returning to the Guanghong Hall, no one noticed, but the old lady Jian asked warmly instead of her previous indifference.Jian Ming sneered slightly in her heart, naturally it was impossible to tell the truth, and regardless of whether the old lady believed it or not, she casually prevaricated a few words.

Maybe there was something on her mind, she thought to herself, time passed quickly, the palace banquet ended not long after the emperor and empress had all left.

All the way back to the Hou Mansion in silence, the drowsiness was irresistible, after a quick wash, Jian Ming put some troublesome matters to the back of his mind for the time being, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Nearly half a month has passed since the day of leaving the palace banquet, and the taste of the new year is getting stronger and stronger. The revenge that Jian Ming has been worried about has not yet come, but I heard that Feng Chuan has been impeached by many speech officials, how many of them are Huo Qihan's handwriting , then nothing is known.

She was somewhat worried, the current situation was obviously different from the plot, and she couldn't guarantee that Feng Chuan would be safe.

However, counting the days, the old emperor is about to die.As long as the crown prince ascends to the throne, relying on the crown prince's fear of Huo Qihan, Feng Chuan is not afraid of dying.

"Girl, Miss Lu sent me a post." Jian Ming was looking at the snow outside the window in a daze, the cold wind hit her face slightly stinging, Green Branch opened the thick windshield curtain, and saw the window Open, helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Post?" Jian Ming made a sound, and reached out to close the wooden window. After all, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, but after opening the window for a while, the heat in the room almost escaped.

After scanning the post briefly, Jian Ming thought for a moment, then chuckled.
