the world

I looked at Taki Wakaba, she was sitting in front of me.

The curtain on the side of me facing the courtyard has been pulled up, and Taki Wakaba is sitting on the edge, her legs are placed on the floor on the edge, and her beautiful insteps are exposed from under the layers of clothes.

It was the first time I received a thank you from someone, and in my memory she seemed to be the only one who thanked me sincerely.

What is she after all?What is she... thinking?

The time spent lying on the bed and simply enduring the pain could not last longer.At this time, all I think about is just repetitive things, complaining, resentment, fantasizing over and over again, and I am tired of thinking about it but I can't control it.I seldom think about other people's problems, but recently I always want to know about Taki Wakaba.

It was still raining outside, and it seemed to be going on all night.

Taki Wakaba sang a song softly, mixed with misty rain and wind, as if it came from far away.

She looks at me, I know she won't hurt me, she understands what I'm desperate for, she wants me to be well; and I won't hurt her, I know she has the same thing I want, and I will protect she.

that's enough.

I didn't say another word, I just enjoyed the current atmosphere.

In the early morning of the next day, Taki Wakaba returned to the mansion of Mingma Gozen.

The first thing she saw was Shuang Ying and Akama Gozen with a bad face.

But Ming Jian Yuqian did not get angry with her, it seems that Taki Wakaba had been forgiven after the punishment was over.

"After you left, Jing rushed out to look for you. It was raining, and now she has a high fever. I don't know why Jing trusted and relied on you so much in less than a year, but since you have seen Jing's trust in you now, take care of yourself." Help her, don't let her get hurt."

"I'm going--"

"No need, Jing is still asleep. In order to prove your innocence, you go to end your affair with Juyushan yourself. The bullock cart has been prepared for you, Shuangying, take her there." Mingjian Yuqian's expression was very cold, "I think you will handle it well."

"...that's natural."

When Taki Wakaba and Shuang Ying walked on the promenade of the mansion, Shuang Ying felt pity for Taki Wakaba who was punished, "Last night... are you okay? Did you find a place to sleep?"

"It's okay, I'm not doing well now, it's just that Jing is really uncomfortable because of my illness."

Shuangying hesitated for a few seconds and said: "Actually... isn't it good for you to accept Juyushan? With your identity and Juyushan's power, it is not difficult for you to break the contract with Mingjian Yuqian Get away, the big deal is just a bad reputation, but.....I told you quietly, I still think that personal happiness is the most important thing, those big righteousness...promises or something, if it is for your own happiness , it doesn't matter!"

My identity... What Shuangying didn't know was that Taki Ruoye's original identity was just a lowly village girl.

"Is it really happiness for me to marry Juyushan?"

"If it wasn't for mutual affection, then why did he make such a request?"

"I don't know, but my happiness now is to hope that I can serve Prince Jingnai and return safely."

"Well, maybe this is the reason why Akima Yuzen chose you."

"Has she ever chosen someone else?"

Shuang Ying thought for a while, "I have considered several candidates before, but Ming Jian Yuqian has always been dissatisfied. I thought she would choose one at random, and you appeared."

"With your qualifications and abilities, you are also a suitable candidate."

"Me?" Shuangying smiled self-deprecatingly, "Mingjian Yuqian will not consider me, this is the promise she made when she recruited me at the beginning. 'I just want to be happy', when I said this As soon as I said a word, Mingjian Yuqian immediately agreed, and since she agreed, then I have no reason to refuse."

"How can I be happy?"

"When you see something you want, you will buy it even if you spend all your money, even if you will be hungry tomorrow; when you see a handsome man, you will approach him and spend a good night with him; chase every day in your life. A joy that can be touched, and if there is something more joyful than life itself, give up life."

"I didn't see that your thoughts were so wild before, but I don't hate it."

"I remember you just learned stargazing from the witch, so what's the weather like tomorrow?" Shuangying asked casually.

"Overcast to rain." Taki Ruoye replied without thinking.

Shuangying's smile froze for a moment, and she observed Taki Ruoye's expression, "It doesn't seem like you are perfunctory to me, no way, you have already reached this level in such a short time."

"I did not lie to you."

"Well, in terms of level, compared to Prince Shizunai, the candidate for the Zhai Palace seems to be you." Shuangying chuckled, "However, it should be said that it is not uncommon for such ministers to be smarter than the monarch. .”

"By the way, I want to ask you another question." Shuangying suddenly let out a low laugh.

"Ok?"

"As far as I know, Oni Wu Tsuji cares about you very much, and even asked the maid to inquire about your situation from one of my juniors. Although I don't know how you met, Tachibana Yushan and Oni Wu Tsuji are both An extremely rare handsome man with a completely different style, ah, this is really exciting. So which one would you choose?"

Ju Yushan is a tall, handsome and handsome man. His tall and straight figure can give people a very sense of security. The wakas he sends and responds to are always beautifully written. He never embarrasses each other when he gets along with women. Well-received; Oni Wu Tsuji is a fragile...beautiful boy?His slender figure has a temperament between a teenager and a young man, and his long black curly hair matches his white skin very well, but... the saving grace seems to be only his face. There are a lot of bad reviews in the palace.

So, what will be Taki Wakaba's choice?Shuangying looked at her expectantly.

"I want them all." Taki Wakaba raised one corner of his mouth, and said the answer that made Shuangying's smile freeze.

"This is really..."

"Otherwise you'd be saying 'then you introduce them all to me'."

"Hey—?! So you said that to reject me? Foul!" Shuangying sighed in disappointment, "Okay, it's here, you get in the car, I wish you all the best~"

Sitting on the rickety bullock cart, Taki Wakaba began to think.

She can be sure that the person who killed her that night was Ju Yushan, and she will not admit her mistake.But in the face of danger, General Zuo, who sacrificed his life for righteousness and protected the people of Ping'an Jing, was also Ju Yushan.The former gives Taki Wakaba the feeling that he is cold-blooded and cruel, and regards human life as nothing; while the latter is reliable and just, worthy of admiration.

Why are they clearly the same person, but can show two opposite sides?What kind of person are you?Juyu Mountain.

Taki Ruoye wanted revenge, revenge for herself, but she didn't want to end it all indistinctly.

When Taki Ruoye left, a group of people had already come, so the mansion was very clean, and it seemed that even the sound of falling leaves could be heard.

"General Zuo's side is always lively and lively, but in fact, he seems to prefer to be quiet."

Taki Ruoye walked into Juyushan's mansion openly, but didn't see a maid. She followed the fluttering curtain and found Juyushan's room.

"This point will come... I think it's only you, don't you want to deal with those people." Ju Yushan's voice was a little hoarse, he was lying on the quilt, as if he had just woken up in the morning, Reluctantly turned his back to Taki Ruoye, "I sent them all away, and it's really troublesome to deal with those people during the day."

The feeling that Tachibana Yushan gave Taki Wakaba was very novel at this time, like a squashed paper balloon.

"If you're alone, won't you be lonely?"

"If you are surrounded by such people, it's better to be alone."

"Will Master Zuo die?"

"People will die sooner or later, but I'm definitely not today. Why do you still call me Mr. Ju Yushan? Didn't you agree last time?"

"Does General Zuo know why I'm here?" Taki Ruoye didn't change his words.

"...Why don't you just stay? It doesn't matter what you do with me. The concubine is just a cover for Akima Gozen. I still like you, but I want to respect your ideas even more. I didn't think about getting involved in this matter before, but you saved my life, I can't ignore your kindness, I have to repay it. I don't have much information, but at least I can be sure, you go to Meiji There are two endings for the Jingu, the first is that you die, and the second is that you die together with Prince Shizunai."

Taki Ruoye's pupils shrank, and she said slowly, "Ju Yushan...you are really a kind person."

"Haha, am I a kind person?" Ju Yushan just smiled, as if the wound was touched, the laughter stopped suddenly, "Then if I didn't save you, wouldn't I be a wicked person?"

"In the past, Master Ju Yushan always talked and laughed at everyone, and he was personable. He was obviously a general, but he was like a gentle and elegant nobleman; now Master Ju Yushan, although he spoke coldly, gave me a clear understanding. Advice. No matter what kind of Ju Yushan it is, I can't say you are a villain. I still can't forget your demeanor when facing monsters."

"What about your answer?"

"Thank you very much for your kindness, but I refuse."

"Why?" Ju Yushan was not angry, but asked calmly.

"Does your lord like my current position? I know that my lord's wish is to protect Heian-kyo, but the path to my wish may not be my favorite. I don't want to give up everything I've learned so far and find another way out. Can you Do you understand me?"
