Hearing this, He Zhilin hurriedly stepped forward to block Jiang Xue, with a look of displeasure on his face, and said in a deep voice: "This is in our country of Hebei. If you are speaking to my princess, even if you are a prince, you should be cautious in your words and deeds."

"Be careful in your words and deeds?" Jing Ye sneered and said coldly: "Jiang Xue, why don't you tell me, is this the word "be careful in your words and deeds" that you taught him just now?

Jiang Xue looked at Jing Ye with a complicated expression. This was the first time he called her by her name.

Jiang Xue felt that the air seemed to be stagnant for a moment.

There were too many things she couldn't figure out.

I can’t figure out why Xiao Qi suddenly turned into Jing Ye, from the son of Prince An to the illegitimate son of the princess. Where did the real Jing Ye go?

I can't understand why Xiao Qi, only three years after returning to the Qian Kingdom, became the grandson's confidant, cultivated a feared secret guard organization, and gradually ascended to the position of regent, wielding great power.

I can't figure out why Jing Ye wants to return to the country of Ji again and lays out one plan after another to attract her to meet and make her form an alliance with him to investigate the case.

Do you want to tell the past? To settle the grievance? Or is it really just as he said, just to investigate the case?

is it possible?

Jiang Xue understands Xiao Qi.

He would not look back because of her, nor would he come to her to ask for an explanation just because he had wronged him.

In the first few years when he first arrived in Hebei, he seemed to be respectful, humble, and kind to others, but in fact he had a cold temperament and didn't care about anyone in his heart, because from the bottom of his heart he was wary of everyone around him who showed kindness.

The Jiang family spent many years trying to warm up his icy temperament.

Jiang Xue remembered that when she was fourteen years old, Xiao Qi took her out of the palace to see the lanterns on Jinli Lake after the family banquet. The two of them confirmed their feelings for each other for the first time in the intoxicating night. At that time, she leaned next to Xiao Qi and asked him nervously: "Ah Qi, you will one day conquer the country, right?"

Xiao Qi took a deep look at her and said, "I won't go back."

Jiang Xue asked: "But won't you miss home? Will you miss your father and mother, your grandfather?"

Xiao Qi looked at the lake with a complicated look in his eyes, and only said a few words.

“Whoever abandons me will not retain yesterday’s day.”

Jiang Xue felt a little sad at the time, but more of a protective feeling emerged.

"Ah Qi, the eldest brother, the second brother and I, as well as the father, mother, and even Qiong Shuang - we will not abandon you."

The girl opened her innocent eyes and said the most confident words.

"Ah Qi is our family, and that day will never happen no matter what."

Xiao Qi looked at her with eyes full of tenderness, but slowly there was a hint of self-deprecation.

"What if one day, Ashue really abandons me?"

Jiang Xue was stunned and before she could answer, Xiao Qi spoke again and whispered:

"If that day comes, Ashue, I will leave you and never look back."

Jiang Xue nodded blankly, thinking it was natural, and said, "That's natural. If Jiang Xue really abandons you one day, she will have a miserable marriage and encounter inhumane things in her life. And you, Ah Qi, just care Just move forward without looking back.”

Jiang Xue lowered her eyes, trying to hide the sadness in them.

The future and past events with her were like nightmares. If he didn't hate her, she felt it was rare.

With his temperament, he would discard the past with her like nothing - how could he come to Ji to see her again just to prove his innocence in front of her.

And if it was just to find out who was involved in the crime - I'm afraid it would be even more impossible.

The Qian Kingdom now has a young ruler sitting in the court. Many of the old forces in the court have been almost completely wiped out with blood since the former Emperor Qian launched an army to annihilate his rebellion. However, only Jing Ye is the most humane minister, condescending, and is the regent with absolute power. His Every move is related to the national structure and political principles of the Qian Kingdom.

But now that he has gone to the country of Hebei and no longer sits in the palace, once there is turmoil within the Qian Dynasty, by then, no matter whether it is the new king or Jing Ye, the current political situation of the Qian Dynasty will most likely be overturned at any time, and there will be no way to save it. .

How could he come to Hebei in person because of a case against the party?

A complex expression surged in Jiang Xue's eyes.

Ah Qi, I can't understand you.

Jing Ye and He Zhilin were confronting each other, and the situation was already tense. Seeing Jiang Xue was silent for a long time, Jing Ye taunted again: "Princess, what, did you forget everything after meeting this Mr. He? ?”

"Don't talk nonsense!" He Zhilin became more and more angry and said to Jiang Qibin: "Jiang Guards, please ask King Ruichong out!"

Jiang Qibin was stunned. Although he was ordered by Jiang Xue to protect He Zhilin, his boss hadn't said a word yet. Could he do this?

What's more - he glanced at Jing Ye secretly, as if it wasn't a matter of whether he could do it, but whether he...

It seems like you can't beat it at all, right?

"I can't help you." Jiang Xuewu murmured to herself, with a hint of sadness in her tone.

He Zhilin suddenly looked surprised. He turned around and before he could speak, Jiang Xue walked out from behind him and walked slowly to Jing Ye.

"I can't help you," Jiang Xue raised her eyes to meet Jing Ye's eyes, but changed her tone, as if just to calm Jing Ye's anger, "Your Majesty, I shouldn't have agreed to come with you. I asked about what happened back then, but I left you alone to wait. I didn’t pay attention to the time and kept you waiting for a long time.”

Her voice was soft, "Please don't be offended, Your Majesty."

Jing Ye frowned, wondering what was the reason for her change at this moment, but when he saw He Zhilin behind Jiang Xue who was looking lost, he suddenly said in a strange way: "I'm sorry that I can't afford to be a princess. Since the princess wants to have a private meeting with someone, , why bother taking Gu along with you?"

After saying that, he turned around to leave, but his sleeve was suddenly grabbed by a small hand.

Jiang Xue tugged on his sleeve and said: "Brother He may have an idea of ​​what happened back then. I have thought about this matter again and again and feel that we should discuss it with the prince."

"Your Highness..."

"Brother He, this matter is related to the past, but it may also be related to the current collusion between the two countries. The prince came here to find out the matter. With the help of the prince, it will be easier to investigate the matter. some."

Before He Zhilin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Xue.

He Zhilin looked at Jiang Xue, feeling more melancholy in his heart, but he could only nodded slowly and said, "Okay, it's all up to His Highness to decide."

Jiang Xue gently pulled Jingye's sleeve again, showing a pleading look, and said softly: "Stay, okay? We need to discuss this matter together."

Jing Ye stood still, looked at Jiang Xue deeply for a while, and said, "Tell me, princess, where did you talk just now?"

Seeing Jiang Xue stunned, he calmly reminded:

"What did the princess forget to tell Mr. He?"

"Is there something that I can't hear?" Jing Ye's tone became sharp again, "You actually have to find someone to stop me, so you two can only say it behind closed doors?"
