one side clear pool

He didn't know how to answer, whether he was still a person these years.

Guarding the cold palace, waiting for someone who may never come.

He has even learned to kill without blinking an eye!

He will be happy when he comes, but he doesn't seem to be sad when he doesn't come.

"Look at me now," she held Jing Chen's hand, "look at Li's family now, you can say that it doesn't matter what you do, but what about your family?"

Li Ruen's loyal ministers of the two dynasties, but because of the suspicion of the current emperor, ended up in exile, and even died during the exile process. The former prime minister was so beautiful. Once exiled, how many people will remember this after many years? A prime minister who has worked half his life for Moyuan?

"Once the emperor attacks the Jing family, the Li family will be a lesson for you." Li Ruyan said every word forcefully, trying to wake Jing Chen up.

"No... No, he won't." Jing Chen was lucky enough to deny Li Ruyan's words.

"You say no now, do you really want to wait until he makes an order before questioning him?" Li Ruyan said coldly, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to even meet him at that time." She stopped and gasped He continued, "I heard him tell his confidant with my own ears, let you continue to trust him first, and then wait for the right time to attack the Jing family. The military power held by the Jing family has become his heart disease, and I have been abolished." For many years, the border has been peaceful, the massacre has been divided between Moyuan and Fenglin, and there will be no more wars on the border for at least 20 years, do you think he can rest assured that the military power will fall into the hands of others?"

Jing Chen was told that she almost ran away, he has been deceiving himself and others, all the time.

"Jingchen, it's not that I'm jealous of you, nor is it that I want to drive a wedge between you. Now that you think about it, you still remember the comfort you had when you were in Wenxuan Building and a group of students pointing out the country. Do you still remember when everyone watched Your eyes are envious, but now, in this palace, who looks at you with contempt, or thinks you are his male favorite? You have followed him for so many years, what have you gained, the life you live now , Is it really what you wanted when you entered the palace?" Her tone gradually became hurried, as if Jing Chen didn't speak, which made her extremely nervous.

"I'll think about it, I'll make arrangements for your maid, you...you have a good rest." Jing Chen broke free from her hand, almost fleeing in despair.

"Jingchen...Brother." She murmured softly on the bed, "Maybe you don't remember, 15 years ago, you were injured by gangsters in order to protect a girl who lost her way with her servants by the lotus pond in the suburbs." , but I remember, you said to the little girl at that time, if you want others not to hurt you, you must learn to be strong, learn to fight off the person who wants to hurt you, you have been hurt by that person for ten years, how can you not learn How about beating him off?"

Jing Chen paused and quickened his pace.

Behind him, a woman murmured faintly with sobs: "Chen, like "morning", morning is so beautiful, you said you were born at the right time, your family is full of hope for you, you said you intend to be like the sun after the morning, Dazzling, but 15 years later, are you willing to be like dust, ignored and trampled by others?"

It was the first time in ten years that someone mentioned the past in front of him, and mentioned his proud and proud youth.

The next day, Li Ruyan, the empress dowager, finally passed away after years of lingering in the cold palace.

Except for Zhuyue Zhuqing, no one knew that Jing Chen had met her before she passed away.

Ren Zexuan buried her in the concubine's mausoleum, and everyone praised the emperor's benevolence, bluntly saying that such a wicked queen should not be buried in the concubine's mausoleum.

Jing Chen made the decision to arrange for several maids around Li Ruyan to leave the palace, and they would have a new start.

And when Jing Chen was upset by Li Ruyan's words, Concubine Li was poisoned, and all the evidence pointed to him.

The man asked him to drink the soup that night. When he was poured the soup, he looked into the man's indifferent eyes and felt cold all over.

"If he plans to attack the Jing family, the Li family will serve as a lesson for you!" Li Ruyan's words suddenly flashed in his mind, he thought, if he died, Ren Zexuan might make a fuss out of a molehill by taking advantage of this matter, and then arrange it later He was accused of all kinds of crimes in the palace before, and the Jing family is very likely to be ruined because of him!

"Think about the you in the past, and look at the you now. Is this the life you dreamed of when you entered the palace?"

At that time, he almost stumbled back to the bedroom, and during his coma, he had a vague dream of the youthful years of his youth.

Once he woke up, he didn't want to stay in the palace anymore.

Now he is relieved, but he never expected to meet Li Ruen here.

"I heard that my lord met bandits during his exile," Jing Chen said softly, "My lord has suffered."

Li Ruen shook his head. He had a very bad time. Many people in the slave market were abducted and sold, and they were not branded as slaves. But after entering here, they will do slave work in the future, and they will be treated as cheap as goods. /Sell, I probably won't turn over in this life.

Few of the elderly will buy here, and they will starve to death or die of illness in less than half a year.

If you are dishonest, you may be beaten to death.

Come to think of it, Li Ruen was lucky to end up in this place, and nothing happened after such a long time.

Li Ruen shook his head: "Why is the young master here? You are not..."

"The daughter woke me up by scolding me." Jing Chen said softly, "Before she died, she scolded me severely, and then something happened, and she left the palace."

Hearing the news of Li Ruyan's death, Li Ruen took a deep breath, and Jing Chen saw that his eyes were closed, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.

"I can help my lord to leave here, my lord, for your son, you have to live."

"The old man never knew." Li Ruen said, "My son, he..."

"It is said that he was imprisoned, and that person really did everything to bring down the Li family." Jing Chen said, "My lord, would you like to give me a helping hand? If I return to Fenglin in the future, I will definitely not let Ren Zelin go. "

"As long as I can save my son, it doesn't matter what I ask the old man to do." His daughter is dead, and his biggest motivation for surviving is probably his son.

Jing Chen nodded, at this moment, the shopkeeper brought several people over, they looked about in their early twenties, both men and women were good-looking, there was no lettering on their faces, and they were wearing coarse linen clothes, probably because they were afraid of wearing worn-out clothes, Jing Chen would be disgusted. In order to sell the "goods", the shopkeeper should have changed their clothes.

"Look, son, these are all strong and handsome. If you buy them back, you won't lose face." The shopkeeper strongly recommended to Jing Chen the " goods".

Jing Chen looked at those people, the shopkeeper probably spent a lot of thought in order to get Jing Chen's nod.

Jing Chen nodded, and ordered a few people to the shopkeeper. He didn't like crowds at first, but Zhuyue Zhuqing couldn't let Zhuyue Zhuqing take care of all the house. Zhuyue Zhuqing was originally a secret guard trained by his elder brother. There are more important things for Zhuyue Zhuqing to do.

Therefore, a few people are needed in the house, and a few people with tight mouths.

"Just these few, you calculate the price."

"Oh, young master, you really have a good eye. You can't find such a good one in the whole exchange, but there are two here who have only been here for less than three months. I'm afraid the bad habits on your body haven't completely changed. Are you sure you Are you really going to buy him?" The shopkeeper was probably afraid that Jing Chen would turn around and ask him to settle the score, so he reminded him.

"It's okay, if you really don't change your bad habits, I'll send you to the mass grave." Jing Chen said, and then he saw the unwillingness in the eyes of the two of them.

He really wanted this "inferiority" not to change. If it was really just submissive, I'm afraid he wouldn't buy it. A few people are enough to serve tea and water.

"Since the young master said so, then these few, each two taels of silver, these two people can be regarded as a discount, only one tael."

Jing Chen looked at the shopkeeper with a half-smile: "If each one sells for two taels, can you still keep going here?"

Rich and noble families have their own channels to recruit servants, and the court ladies and eunuchs in the imperial palace are even more selective. Few people come here. Most of the people here are ordinary people, and some commoners come here. On the other hand, it was probably to buy a slave to be a concubine, for heirs or something.

If it is true that everyone sells two taels of silver, I am afraid that this place will not be able to survive long ago.

"How can I fool you," said the shopkeeper, "the small ones are all carefully selected for you. If you want to buy any one, as long as your limbs are healthy and there is no disease, of course you are not. That's the price."

"You can still talk. If this is the case, I won't bargain with you. You let the old man go back with me. I just need someone to be a porter. What do you think?" Jing Chen pointed to the cage. people.

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, as if weighing the pros and cons.

"It's useless for you to keep this old man. I also know what will happen to this old man in the exchange. If you let him go today, you have accumulated some kindness. I believe that what you earned today is enough for you to use for a while."

The shopkeeper probably thought that it was a waste of food for the old man who couldn't do much work to stay here. Since someone wants to take him away, he is not reluctant. Jing Chen is right. The price he asked today is indeed a bit high, but they have always been He has this habit of asking the price to be high, and then the customer lowers the price. Unexpectedly, Jing Chen didn't even lower the price, and just nodded.

In this case, he made enough money to sell several slaves.

"Since you said so, I'll show you some face." The owner said, and he went to get the key.

"I'll take this old man away, and send the rest to me." Jing Chen said.

"Success, you tell me where to send it, and I will send it to you later."

Jing Chen gave the address, paid the money, and took Li Ruen out of the exchange.

He could see that there was something wrong with Li Ruen's feet, so he hurried out of the gate of the exchange and called for a carriage.
