"Later?" A cold light flashed in Yang Jinqiao's eyes and said, "Later I realized that he was not dead at all, but at that time, if you want to take action, there will be no chance."

“…”

I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart - "So, you finally waited for the second chance."

"Yes, it's on the execution ground where Liu Qinghan was executed!"

“…”

"What a pity!" She gritted her teeth fiercely, with an indescribable hatred: "It actually happened again!"

“…”

I heard her biting her silver teeth, but for some reason, I laughed.

She looked at me and frowned: "Why are you laughing at?"

“…”

But I laughed harder and harder, and even turned red in the end. I remembered that they had the first assassination of Pei Yuanxiu. Although they succeeded, Pei Yuanxiu escaped by chance, which led to my marriage with him. In the second assassination, they shot Han Ruoshi again, but by chance they failed, but they led to Pei Yuanxiu's marriage with her.

Listening to me saying those words in a joke, Yang Jinqiao's expression became more and more gloomy.

I smiled and said, "You guys really look like they are from Yue Lao Temple!"

She looked at my slightly red eyes, the hatred in her eyes faded, but it seemed like a look of guilt appeared. After a long silence, she said softly: "If it weren't for us, if we hadn't failed, you probably wouldn't have to marry him."

“…”

"Then your life will not reach this point, right?"

“…”

My laughter stopped, but I was a little dazed. I looked up at her, and after a while, I smiled faintly again.

Actually, not necessarily.

It may not be better, nor will it be worse. I just recalled that at that time, Pei Yuanxiu was still unwilling to give up on me in a desperate situation that was almost dying. Even if there was no such arrow, maybe I could not escape at other times and other opportunities. He and I will eventually experience that separation of death.

Many things in this world, every drink and peck, are all determined by the previous ones.

I just don’t know where he and I have already reached this point.

...

This time, both of them fell silent.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky outside became dark, and the swaying light of the candlelight on the table filled the whole room. At this time, I suddenly felt a little hungry. As soon as I raised my head, Yang Jinqiao reached out and pushed the plate of snacks on the table into front of me. Seeing me looking at her, I said softly: “I guess you must have not eaten much today, you must be hungry.”

“…”

"Eat something."

I nodded and picked up a piece of still warm osmanthus cake from the plate. I just delivered it to my mouth when I suddenly remembered something again and looked up at her: "Today, have you known about the emperor coming to the Yang family?"

She nodded and agreed.

"You guys have met you long ago?"

"Um."

“When did you see me?”

"That's the day when Liu Qinghan was executed."

“…”

I was indeed not wrong. The execution ground was in chaos that day, and the arrow hit Han Ruoshi, I saw Pei Yuanhao immediately sent people around me to search everywhere. It was at that time that they met again.

"Then what?"

"Then?"

I held that piece of pastry. Although the sweet taste was always lingering on my nose, and although I was indeed a little hungry, at this time, I had no desire to eat it. My eyes gradually became a little hot, and I looked at her with a burning look: "What did you do after that? Why have you never contacted me before, but after that, I sent me that arrow? You and him--"

When I watched this, Yang Jinqiao was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "I admit that Emperor - he has never forgotten you. Even if he has not mentioned a word, I can feel that he has not given up on you over the years."

My brows subconsciously frowned.

She continued: "But I am not anyone's knife and I will not let anyone use it."

“…”

"The arrow I gave you is not going to disrupt your plan. Your daughter is by the emperor's side, and it will be a matter of time sooner or later."

“…”

"I'm just worried that at that time, you were with Liu Qinghan."

I looked up at her: "You mean, I'm with him, will I go with him?"

"You won't," she said calmly, "I know you very well in this. However, when you are with him, there will inevitably be some uncontrollable times, so that you can get on the road as soon as possible to avoid some accidents."

“…”

I fell silent.

Although, since I received the arrow, I knew that I was being urged and even controlled, but I couldn't help but feel a little angry when I heard her say it like this.

I picked up the dessert and took a bite. The fragrance of osmanthus is very rich, sweet but not greasy, but when I took that bite, it smelled like numbness of chewing wax. After swallowing it, I looked up at her gaze, and the temperature of my eyes became colder, and said, "Now, I have arrived in the capital as you wish. What do you plan to do?"

She curled the corners of her lips and said, "Don't be angry either. Although the emperor must have his purpose in letting you enter Beijing, I-I hope you enter Beijing, just hope you can leave the dangerous place in Jiangnan. The most important thing is that you can leave Pei Yuanxiu's sphere of influence, and you, don't think too utilitarian."

“…”

Her words left me with nothing to say.

It cannot be denied that it was right for her to urge me to go on the road. If you delay in Yangzhou, it is hard to say what accident will happen; and along the way, Boss Wang was entrusted by her to take care of me all the way, which indeed saved me a lot of worries. Even now, Pei Yuanhao did not attack me immediately, which was the best situation in my previous predictions.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I sighed, and in order to ease the atmosphere, I asked, "By the way, Mrs. Hanyu, is she okay?"

Yang Jinqiao's brows immediately frowned.

I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"She's okay." Her brows were still frowning, and her eyes also showed a sense of sadness. She said softly: "She has always suspected that Yun Hui's death was designed by the emperor, so she has been unable to let go of it all these years. Today, she is so impulsive!"

"Will the emperor punish Mrs. Hanyu?"

"The emperor has taken away several of the Yang family's businesses. I think he won't do it too well."

"The lady now-"

"I have already talked to her, and she is also very regretful now. My father asked her to think about her mistakes behind closed doors these days. If the situation is wrong, let her go back to her hometown to hide for a while and avoid the limelight."

“…It’s good.”

I breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Hanyu impulsively killed the emperor in order to avenge her "killing her son". That was a serious crime to destroy the nine clans. Pei Yuanhao was really a surprise, but the king's heart was unpredictable. No one knew whether he would still remember this matter. It should be more appropriate to deal with the Yang family in the future.

I thought about it and asked again, "Where is Miss Jinyao?"

Her breathing suffocated and she looked up at me.

I also looked at her, my eyes became focused and hot: "Do you know about Miss Jinyao?"

“…”

This time, she fell silent.

As soon as I saw her like this, the faint uneasiness in my heart became deeper and I asked seriously: "Miss Jinyao was resigned by Wu Yanqiu, and the emperor suddenly expressed his intimacy to her today. What's going on?"

She was silent for a while and said slowly: "The emperor must have planned to take away several business transactions from the Yang family for a long time. However, he and Yunhui have a deep friendship and cannot bear to suppress the Yang family like this, so-"

"So, he intends to summon Miss Jinyao to the palace?"

"right."

I nodded gently.

In this way, it is reasonable on the surface. Although Pei Yuanhao wanted to take back those businesses, he did not intend to completely suppress the Yang family. Giving some benefits was a common method by the king. Choosing one from the Yang family's daughter to the harem can maintain the Yang family's favor, which is also his attitude. However, Yang Jinqiao has been a "dead person" these years, and she will definitely not be able to bear the emperor's favor. Then the second lady Yang Jinyao has become the best candidate for the emperor to communicate with the Yang family.

only--

"Why don't you let the emperor give you an official position for your brothers? This can also show the emperor's favor!" I frowned and said, "Why have to let her enter the palace?"

Yang Jinqiao also frowned, and his eyes were a little nervous: "Because, I heard that she has always been unwilling to marry Wu Yanqiu."

"ah?"

"This marriage is the order of parents and the interests of the two families are united. Besides, there is the power of the queen, so she has no ability to resist."

I laughed in silence: "So, when the emperor has such thoughts, you did not obstruct him, but instead encourage him?"

“…”

"Did you forget what was the situation when she was in Shangyang Palace? Why did you want Miss Jinyao to experience the same thing? Besides, her innocent and straightforward personality is how could she survive in the palace?"

When she heard my questioning, she seemed very regretful and couldn't help but reach out to hold her forehead: "I didn't think about this matter thoroughly."

“…”

"But now-" she looked up at me: "What should I do now?"

This is the first time I saw Yang Jinqiao helpless and helpless. But this incident is indeed different from other things. Yang Jinyao's happiness in the second half of his life was all in Pei Yuanhao's thoughts.
