But Ma Wang is not an ordinary person, no matter how brave he is, he cannot stay.Not to mention how cruel and domineering this person is in southern Xinjiang, and his attacks are fierce, he will never be controlled by others, nor will he work his life for the court.The most important thing is that this person has a private transaction with Yuan Yiheng. If he is entrusted with important tasks, wouldn't it be sending chess pieces for Yuan Yiheng?

Ji Rufan absolutely does not allow this to happen. If the father is really short of people, there will be her and Rusu.No matter how bad it is, there are still Chu Zhiyao and Song Qimin.In any case, Ma Wang must not be given a chance to escape, otherwise the efforts in this life will be in vain.

The atmosphere in the imperial study room was as depressing as ever, and today with the presence of Ma Wang, it was even more uncomfortable.

As soon as Ji Rusu came out of the imperial study, he tugged at the sleeves of Huang Jie.

"Sister Huang, look at Ma Wang's performance today. He is going around in circles, refusing to tell the truth. I think if we don't have real evidence, it will be difficult for Father to believe our words."

Ji Rufan didn't say anything, just hummed softly.

"Come back to me first."

Afterwards, she turned around and told Chong Gang, "Take good care of him, and everything will continue as usual."

Chu Zhiyao and Xuan'er were honestly waiting for Ji Rufan in the palace. Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two princesses, he knew that King Ma must have said nothing meaningful in the imperial study today.But it shouldn't be too bad, otherwise the faces of the princesses would be even worse.

"How is it? Isn't it going well today?" Chu Zhiyao knew it well, but he couldn't help but greet him immediately.

"Don't mention it, that horse thief is simply too hateful! No wonder Huangjie said that he was very quiet on the way to Beijing, so it turned out that he kept such a trick."

Hearing Ji Rusu say so angrily, Chu Zhiyao's concerned eyes never left Ji Rufan.Compared with using Ma Wang to prove that Yuan Yiheng has changed, Ji Rufan's knot should be another matter.

Chu Zhiyao tried to explore and guide him, but Ji Rufan always hesitated to speak, as if he avoided this topic very much.But without these things being clarified, she had no way of doing anything, and she didn't know how to help Ji Rufan.This made her anxious, but helplessly watching Princess Yu anxious and upset, but she was helpless.

"It's almost as we expected." Ji Rufan pursed his lips, signaling Chu Zhiyao not to worry too much about himself.

Chu Zhiyao also expected that this matter would not go so smoothly, and he was already prepared in his heart.As long as Ji Rufan wasn't upset, she wouldn't think it was a big deal.After all, Yuan Yiheng has been behind the scenes for so long. If they intercepted her so easily, she would wonder if it was a trap set by Yuan Yiheng on purpose.

"But one thing exceeded our expectations."

"how?"

Chu Zhiyao was a little nervous, Ji Rufan changed the subject, she had a premonition that this was the focus of today.

"Father seems to be very interested in Ma Wang, and I see other meanings in his eyes. This is very troublesome. If Father asks me for someone, I have to give it."

Ji Rusu's complexion was not good-looking, and her father's performance today also shocked her.In the matter of arresting King Ma, Miss Huang took the lead, at most she could only be regarded as a remote supporter, and she didn't dare to say anything in front of her father.

"If the father really finds out about the resources behind Ma Wang, we may have another person to deal with."

Chu Zhiyao understands that things are getting more and more complicated, but she is not a pessimistic person.I always feel that there is a glimmer of life in everything, and I will focus on finding that opportunity to turn things around.

"Princess, I think we have to start increasing allies. In case, I mean, it's really unfortunate that Ma Wang is favored by the emperor, I'm afraid we will be passive."

Chu Zhiyao's words reminded Ji Rufan that she had already planned this.But the tone of the emperor's sister was asked before, and it seemed that she didn't want to win the Song family over.Her original intention was also not to get too close to the court ministers, which was always a taboo of her father.

"Sister Huang, I'll go visit Song Qimin tomorrow. Speaking of which, he hasn't entered the palace for a long time." Ji Rusu took the initiative to speak first. Besides the Song family, who else is the most suitable ally right now?

"Like a lotus."

Ji Rufan knew that the imperial girl had always been quite resistant to meeting Song Qimin, maybe it was because she really didn't want this engagement from the bottom of her heart.But up to now, she is also very embarrassed.

Ji Rusu smiled and comforted the imperial sister, "I have clearly distinguished the priorities. At this time, why should I be angry with Song Qimin?"

After seeing off Princess Ze, Chu Zhiyao waited for Xuan'er to leave before finally holding Ji Rufan's hand.

The corners of Ji Rufan's mouth curled up slightly, it was not the first time she was grabbed suddenly like this, so she was not surprised or shy.It seems that gradually, it has become a habit and tacit understanding between her and Chu Zhiyao.

"Don't worry about me. I've already prepared for today's matter. The more important things are, the less smooth they will be, isn't it?" Ji Rufan looked back with a smile, letting his hand be held by the other party.

Chu Zhiyao shook his head and led her into the bedroom.It's not that she wants to do anything to Ji Rufan, but the princess' bedroom can make her relax more thoroughly.Only then can she have the opportunity to slowly guide Ji Rufan to tell the deepest secret in his heart. This is the root cause of the real solution to Ma Wang's matter.

Ji Rufan closed his eyes, his brows became tighter and tighter, and he kept taking deep breaths, as if he was accumulating his last strength.

Chu Zhiyao held Ji Rufan's hand tightly, and could clearly feel the ups and downs of the other party's emotions.She wanted to warm the princess' palms so that she would no longer be attacked by cold sweat. She wanted to pass on her support and companionship through the temperature of her palms, so that the princess' demons would be dispelled.

"Chu Zhiyao, you know that King Ma used to have bad intentions towards me. But if I say that a worse result than this has actually happened, it makes me feel very panic and fear. Do you believe it?"

When Ji Rufan finally spoke slowly, Chu Zhiyao's pupils were dilated.

"Princess, you mean?"

Ji Rufan was immersed in painful memories at this moment, and he didn't have the patience to add all the details that Chu Zhiyao was uncertain or didn't understand one by one. He just continued to talk while his courage was still there.She was afraid of the impulse tonight, so she no longer wanted to mention it to anyone.

"I've experienced it before, so when I got the chance to do it all over again, I would fight back like that, because..." Ji Rufan roughly said the story, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"Because I'm afraid of going through it again." Chu Zhiyao looked into Ji Rufan's eyes and finished the sentence for her.

The author has something to say: It’s finally time for the holiday~~~ Hahahaha

Chapter 68

In normal times, with Ji Rufan's intelligence and wisdom, Chu Zhiyao's quick words would definitely attract her attention.But at that time, her whole emotions were immersed in the discomfort of the memories of her previous life, and it took her a lot of courage to say this calmly, and she almost didn't have the extra energy to carefully analyze Chu Zhiyao's performance.

There is no empathy in this world unless you have experienced it yourself.Chu Zhiyao saw the princess's expression and sadness, even if she didn't know every detail of it, it was enough for her to feel that the past must have brought a heavy blow to the princess.

The hand being held felt strong strength and warmth. Ji Rufan relied on this real feeling to remind himself repeatedly that now he was just recalling his past life, not reliving that nightmare himself.This experience can be said to be the darkest period in Ji Rufan's memory, but it can't be avoided, no matter how lightly she wants to go into battle in this life, she can't completely eliminate this darkness.

Because her greatest enemy in this life-Yuan Yiheng is still active, but she is carefully counterattacking step by step.He was afraid that the scope would be too large and he would startle the enemy, and he was also afraid that he would not be able to succeed in revenge due to the limited information he had in his previous life.The heavy pressure made Ji Rufan often out of breath. If it wasn't for her status as Princess Yu, and if she hadn't grown up in the palace since she was a child, Ji Rufan might have been crushed by such torture.

"Princess, don't be afraid. If the memories are too tiring, you can rest for a while. We are not in a hurry, we will talk when you are ready." Chu Zhiyao could see sweat dripping from Ji Rufan's forehead with the naked eye, without reaching out, She can also know that the sweat is cold.

The cold sweat is the expression of Ji Rufan's cold heart.Since her rebirth, she has been constantly planning how to hinder the development of Yuan Yiheng's conspiracy, and also constantly imagining how to counterattack successfully.She originally thought that these embarrassing and depressing past events would not be repeated from her own mouth, because even she herself did not dare to recall them completely.

"Princess? Princess?" Seeing more and more pain accumulating in Ji Rufan's eyes, Chu Zhiyao anxiously called out to Ji Rufan.

"Chu Zhiyao, let me finish it. I just want to say this once, and I only want to tell you one person." Ji Rufan paused, and took a deep breath.
