Heaven

The sun outside the window is just right, the snow that was swept on both sides of the road has already melted, and green shoots have sprouted from the branches, and the gentle breeze blows in with warmth, as if bringing the prosperity of spring into the house.

Ji Kongqing was holding a book in his hand, and was reading it softly.

This is a book on the art of war. To be honest, he could memorize this book from beginning to end. Now he pretends to read it line by line in a low voice, just to divert his chaotic thoughts.

If he knew it would turn out like this, he shouldn't have gone to see Jing Hao for the "last time", Ji Kongqing cursed her wrong decision in a low voice.

seven days ago...

Jing Hao recovered well after waking up.

The first thing he proposed after regaining his energy was to heal his wounds with Jing Mingrui, but his son justly refused.Since then, Jing Yan has been running to torture Jing Mingrui's nerves at irregular intervals.

Jing Mingrui naturally knew what his father's true intentions were, and had no choice but to face Jing Hao's crying, making trouble and hanging himself. He knew it was a conspiracy, but he had to make a compromise in the end.He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "I don't think it's a big deal to be a few months away. You just say that I agree, and go up the mountain early."

Jing Mingrui took a deep breath and said, "Let's prepare for the enthronement ceremony tomorrow."

Bright sparks suddenly burst out from Jing Lan's eyes, and it seemed that years of illnesses had left him in an instant, as if he was the "celestial general" who galloped the world back then.

Jing Lan's chest heaved violently, and it took a long time before he slightly suppressed his excitement.With a straight face, he said: "Okay! I'll make preparations and leave right away."

Jing Mingrui knew that his father had been waiting for this day for a long time. Although he couldn't fully understand the other party's mood, he was sincerely pleased for Jing Xuan at this moment.Forget it, it's the same sooner or later anyway, if leaving early makes him so happy, it doesn't really matter to me.He patted Jing Hao on the shoulder: "Why don't you tell someone first."

Jing Yan shook his head: "It's good to let the people in the world think that I'm dead. It just arouses public anger. As for what you think should be told, just pass it on for me."

Jing Mingrui sighed, he said this completely for Jing Mingquan's sake.He knew that his cynical younger brother seemed to be as indifferent to his father as himself on the surface, but in fact he always longed for Jing Hao's care and love.However, it seems that although Jing Yan can get along with Jing Mingquan normally, he has never let go of his grudges about that incident back then.

Jing Yan suddenly said: "By the way, let Ji Kongqing come to see me. I also want to thank him face-to-face for saving his life."

Jing Mingrui frowned, his intuition told himself that the old man definitely didn't want to be as simple as thanking Ji Kongqing, but he didn't seem to be trying to match them up jokingly as before.He observed Jing Yan for a while, and he was sure that the other party definitely didn't intend to harm Ji Kongqing, so he didn't think about it any more, and nodded in agreement.

Ji Kongqing met Jing Hao in a secluded courtyard outside the palace.

When Ji Kongqing entered the room, the emperor, who had announced that he had been murdered by Jing Guo, had a calm expression on his face, and was sitting in front of the table in full attire, and there was a small bundle on the table.

Ji Kongqing felt a little strange, because Jing Yan looked at him with rather tangled eyes, both gratified and grateful, and the weirdest thing was that there seemed to be a trace of sympathy?He looked at the expression on the other party's hesitant to speak, wondering what made His Majesty the emperor come here specially, but when he arrived, he seemed unable to speak?

"Your real name is Ji Han?" Jing Yan decided to start by figuring out the truth. If he got the wrong person, it would be a big joke.

"Yes." Ji Kongqing muttered to himself, could it be related to my background?Wouldn't it be because you think you have the royal blood of Jing Kingdom, and you are afraid that I will murder Mingrui?Ji Kongqing was embarrassed, in his heart, he was the least likely person in the world to hurt Jing Mingrui.What a joke, in order to protect Mingrui, even Daoshanhuohai himself will stand in front of him!He suddenly thought of the scene where Mingrui was being tortured in front of him, but he had no way to do anything. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, and vowed secretly that he would never let such a thing happen again.

Sure enough, he didn't make a mistake, no wonder his son knew a person he had never met before thousands of miles away, and even "wanting" Ji Kongqing from Jing country might have been planned by his precious son.

Jing Hao suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness towards fate. He considered his words and said hesitantly: "Xiao Ji, I really think you are very good, you have both talent and beauty, and you saved my life. It's not suitable to be around, why don't you just leave..."

"As long as Ming Rui doesn't drive me away, I will definitely not leave his side!" Ji Kongqing was furious, was it really because of her background?He focused all his attention on His Majesty's last words, and felt that even Jing Hao could not ask himself to leave Ming Rui.He said angrily: "Although I have the blood of the Jing Kingdom's royal family on my body, I have nothing to do with them. If there is a need, I will fight against each other on the battlefield, and I will not hesitate!"

Jing Yan hurriedly waved his hands, and stammered: "No, that's not what I meant. I mean you and Rui'er...you two...have no chance. No, Rui'er has no chance with anyone, but with you. ...Hey...I'm just...I'm just afraid that even you won't be able to impress him, and it will only make you sad in the end."

Jing Hao sighed: "I thought it was rare for him to have someone caring, but... but I didn't expect it to be you, hey... What a trick of God!"

Ji Kongqing only understood that the emperor still had thoughts about his own background, and he considered whether to tell the story of how he and Mingrui knew each other, so that the emperor could understand the depth of their friendship, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be unfavorable to Mingrui.It's a pity that before he could speak, he was suddenly stopped by the emperor's next words.

Jing Yan suddenly trembled all over, pointed at Ji Kongqing with wide eyes, and said, "Could it be that you have...already, ahem, have a skin-to-skin relationship?"

"!"

Ji Kongqing only felt his mind go blank.

Did the emperor mean that?Is he against himself and Mingrui... Has there been a development beyond friendship?Hadn't he always been supportive before?No, how could he feel that he was already with Mingrui...and Mingrui...

Ji Kongqing felt that his face was so hot that he could fry eggs directly with some oil.

Jing Yan looked at the other party's faltering(?) expression, and became more sure of his guess, feeling extremely surprised.How is it possible, obviously not... Forget it, let’s just think about how to deal with that person on the mountain.

He picked up the burden on the table, walked towards Ji Kongqing, patted her on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Fifth daughter-in-law, I am getting old and confused, so just pretend that I didn't say anything just now, you... you Let's have a good time, young couple!"

It took a long time before Ji Kongqing came back to his senses. He looked at the topaz finger wrench lying in his palm, completely entangled.

When the emperor was about to leave, he even turned around and took out a finger wrench from his bag, saying it was his beloved object that had been with him for decades, knowing that Ji Kongqing was excellent at archery, he took it as a gift for his daughter-in-law , and then walked away.

Ji Kongqing didn't know whether he should be happy for the sudden change in the emperor's attitude, he only knew that when he just understood the emperor's meaning, his mood had never been more complicated, and for a moment he even imagined that he and Mingrui had skin-to-skin relationship scene!Oh my god, shouldn't I be...?

No, he must have been completely misled by His Majesty's words. He looked at the wrench in his hand, and felt an urge to throw it away as if nothing had happened, but after thinking about it, he somehow picked it up and put it on his hand. superior.

——————————— Even the memory of the end drop dividing line —————————

Jing Mingquan observed the people in the house from the tree outside the window.

There is indeed something wrong, the look of reading is very absent-minded, as if something is on your mind?Jing Mingquan rubbed his chin, thinking about how to complete the task assigned to him by his elder brother.

"Fifth Sister-in-law, you haven't seen Fifth Brother for many days, right? If you miss Fifth Brother, why don't you just go and see him?" Jing Mingquan jumped into the room laughing, found a chair by the table and sat down, smiling Looking at Ji Kongqing with a non-smile.

Ji Kongqing's face froze.

Since Jing Mingrui came to the throne, he has been so busy that he wished he had 24 hours a day.Originally, Ji Kongqing was willing to help, but unfortunately, ever since Jing Yan left his words irresponsibly and ran away, Ji Kongqing had extremely complicated feelings towards Jing Mingrui. Some strange idea popped up suddenly, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while.

"Why did you come to me to be lazy?" Ji Kongqing said flatly.

Jing Mingquan poured himself a drink, with a serious face on his face: "I don't have time to be lazy, it's because Fifth Brother is afraid that Fifth Sister-in-law will be bored these two days, so he specially asked me to come and see you."

Ji Kongqing's heart skipped a beat.It's not right, I haven't seen Jing Mingrui's cranky thoughts in the past two days, but the symptoms have become more serious, and I will feel disturbed when I hear his name.Ji Kongqing frowned and said, "I'm not bored at all, and I have to go to the camp in the afternoon. Just keep busy with your work and leave me alone."

Jing Mingquan once again confirmed that the other party has something on his mind, and it may have something to do with his fifth brother.Ji Kongqing has always been gentle with others, but he just mentioned Fifth Brother, but his words revealed the intention of driving people away?Could it be that the young couple had a quarrel, and Fifth Brother couldn't let go of his airs and let himself make peace?That's right, when you become an emperor, your airs will be bigger.

Jing Mingquan said with a smile: "Fifth Sister-in-law Fifth Brother has neglected you these few days, so I'll be there for him. You know, he's a newcomer to Dabao, so he's so busy."

After hearing what he said, Ji Kongqing couldn't help crying and laughing, this was purely a entanglement in his heart, what did it have to do with Mingrui?He was stunned for a moment and couldn't think of how to explain it.

Seeing the other party's silence, Jing Mingquan rolled his eyes and came up with an idea in order to live up to his elder brother's high expectations for him.

"Fifth sister-in-law, you must come to the Tianshuying Wine Tasting Conference three days later!" Jing Mingquan looked at Ji Kongqing with a smile, leaned into his ear and whispered, "When the time comes, I will definitely invite Fifth Brother as well!" called."

Ji Kongqing: "..."
