Meng Yunying entered the house, subconsciously glanced at the inner room of the house, then walked slowly to the desk, took the autopsy report, looked up, and saw a comb on the round table, which she had never seen before.

"What is this?" Meng Yunying walked over, raised her hand to take a look, but just as her fingers touched the ox bone comb, Jiang Jingxin took the comb away.

"It's just an ordinary comb from a friend." Jiang Jingxin carried the comb behind his back, "You come back to get the autopsy report. I think the case is urgent, so go get busy."

Meng Yunying pursed her lips, glanced at the inner room leisurely, and said slowly: "Actually, it's not in a hurry at this moment."

Meng Yunying sat down on the round table as she spoke, rubbed her hands together and said, "It's quite cold outside, I'll leave after I warm up."

When Jiang Jingxin heard this, his whole heart was raised, his eyes quickly glanced at the inner room, and his hands pinched the hem of the skirt nervously.

"Here is Mrs. Tang, warm your hands." Jiang Jing was nervous, and took Mrs. Tang from the side and handed it to Meng Yunying.

Meng Yunying took Mrs. Tang, held her hand when Jiang Jingxin let go, and said, "Princess's hands are also very cold. If you feel that the room is cold, you'd better burn more charcoal fire."

"It's not cold in the room, I just came back from a play with Mrs. Wang, and my hands haven't warmed up yet." Jiang Jingxin said and slowly pulled his hands out.

"Does the princess have something on her mind?" Meng Yunying raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Jingxin very seriously.

Jiang Jingxin pursed her lips when she heard the words, turned around and stroked her skirt and sat down on the other seat, and said softly: "Where does this palace have any thoughts? The son-in-law is thinking too much."

"Then why are the eyes so red? I don't know why the princess is crying, maybe I can help the princess out of trouble." Meng Yunying looked at Jiang Jingxin closely, with a seemingly calm expression, but her robe was already crumpled.Jiang Jing didn't want to talk to her about something, and he grieved alone, and somewhat regarded her as an outsider.And there are other people in the room, if you can see the light, why hide from them?

"The son-in-law has thought too much, I am not worried."

Meng Yunying felt very disappointed when she heard this, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

Jiang Jing turned his head and saw Meng Yunying's sad look, he felt his heart tremble suddenly, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter a word.

"It's best for the princess to be free from worries and worries." Meng Yunying said and stood up, "Recently, the capital is not peaceful. Zhao Ziyou, the second lady of the Zhao family, died in Peach Garden this morning. The princess should send more people when she leaves the house in the future."

After Meng Yunying finished speaking, she lifted her legs and walked out.

Jiang Jingxin was stunned for a moment, got up and followed him out, and sent the person to the door. When he was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "It takes a lot of thinking to deal with the murder case. I'll let them do what you want to eat tonight."

Meng Yunying paused, then slowly turned around and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to be busy until late today, maybe I'll have dinner with them in the yamen, the princess doesn't have to wait for me."

"Oh." Jiang Jingxin responded softly, lowering his eyes to think about something to say, but when he raised his eyes, he was already on the stone bridge.

Jiang Jingxin bit her lower lip lightly, she could feel Meng Yunying's depression, but she couldn't care less, Jiang Jingxin sighed and closed the door.

Meng Yunying, who was on the stone bridge, heard the door was closed, thought for a while, got off the stone bridge and hid behind the white wall next to the promenade.

In the dormitory, Yue Yi came out from the inner room, looked at Jiang Jing and said in his heart: "Before, I was a minister of the same dynasty as Mr. Meng, and I saw that Gao Leng did not expect to be so considerate to the princess. The princess will meet a lover. Congratulations."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingxin stared at Yue Yi intently.

"Is this the general's truth?"

When Yue Yi heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't dare to look into Jiang Jingxin's eyes.

"It's the truth."

Jiang Jing gritted his teeth lightly, and said word by word: "So, the general doesn't have me at all in his heart?"

Yue Yi felt pain in his heart, and hardened his heart: "The princess and I have no love for each other."

"You're lying." Jiang Jing took a step forward and looked directly at Yue Yi, "Someone wanted to kill me, why did you show up in such a timely manner? If you hadn't been secretly protecting me all the time, you probably wouldn't have been able to show up in time, right?"

Yue Yi avoided Jiang Jingxin's eyes and said, "Recently, the blood of the royal family has been falling one after another. I have the duty to protect the safety of the royal family."

"You have responsibilities? You are no longer a general, so what responsibilities do you have?" Jiang Jing was puzzled.

Yue Yi sighed slightly: "Princess, I was ordered by the late emperor to fake my death. The late emperor entrusted me with a heavy responsibility. I will devote myself to my life and die."

"What did you say? Father asked you to fake death, how is it possible, how is it possible?" Jiang Jingxin took two steps back, remembering that she begged the late emperor to marry her after General Shao's triumphant return. Will it be suspended animation?

"This is not true." Jiang Jingxin's eyes were red, he raised his hand to hold Yue Yi's hand and said, "Tell me, this is not true, the late emperor never...never let you fake your death, tell me quickly, tell me quickly ah."

Yue Yi raised his hand to wipe Jiang Jingxin's tears, and said with pity: "Princess, as early as the third year of my official career, I reached an agreement with the late emperor. The late emperor will avenge my father for me, and I will guard the country for the late emperor. Therefore, the princess and I, Impossible, and it won't be possible in the future."

Tears dripped down Jiang Jing's heart, her father actually lied to her.

"There is no more General Shao in the world, have you ever regretted it?" Jiang Jing asked in tears.

A trace of remorse flashed across Yue Yi's eyes when he heard the words, and soon disappeared. Back then, he was immersed in the grief and indignation of his father being murdered by a treacherous minister, and he only wanted to avenge his father.After feigning death, her regret grew stronger day by day. She avenged her dead father, but she felt sorry for her mother and sister who were still alive.

"You can't turn back in life. I saw the princess was so sad that I couldn't sleep day and night. Fortunately, the princess is a good match for a son-in-law. I don't care about it." Yue Yi smiled at Jiang Jingxin and continued. : "I can see that the son-in-law cherishes the princess very much. Although she comes from a poor background, she is much cleaner than the son of a family in Beijing. If the princess is willing to let go of her obsession, she will be in harmony with the son-in-law."

After saying that, Yue Yi raised her hands in a bow, then turned and walked out.

Gently opened the door of the dormitory, seeing no one around, Yue Yi walked out quickly, was about to fly over the eaves, when Jiang Jingxin yelled, and his body paused.

Jiang Jingxin ran out crying, and hugged Yueyi from behind. The late emperor lied to her, but Yueyi was trapped for the rest of his life. She hated the late emperor, and a single word could change a person's fate, including her own daughter's marriage.

Meng Yunying, who was behind the white wall of the long corridor, had been waiting for a long time. When her hands and feet were cold, she saw the scene in front of her and suddenly felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle.

Originally, when she heard someone talking in the bedroom, she felt that the people hiding in the inner room were not simple. Few people could make the princess break down and make the princess cry. She thought of General Shao deep in the princess' heart, but she She always thought that the place was dead, but unexpectedly, the dead General Shao actually appeared in front of her eyes.

Meng Yunying turned around slowly and leaned her back against the white wall. The scene just now couldn't go away in her mind for a long time. The princess clearly still loves General Shao, so what is she?If she knew the truth was so hurtful, why would she stay here and wait for the truth?

Jiang Jingxin let go of Yue Yi's hand and cried, "General, will you spend New Year's Eve alone this year?"

"Where I live, there are companions watching the year together."

"Can you come out this year?" Seeing the other party's surprise, Jiang Jingxin hurriedly explained: "You can easily stay by my side. I will lead you to see your mother and sister."

Yue Yi was taken aback when she heard this. In fact, she secretly went to see her mother and sister on New Year's Eve last year, but she didn't dare to visit during the day, fearing that she would not be able to bear it, or that the neighbors would be surprised if she came rashly, so she could only go secretly at night to see.

But if she was taken home by Princess Qingning, the situation would be completely different.First, Princess Qingning came to visit her mother many times after her death, and she would not attract attention when she went home with Princess Qingning, and second, she could see her during the day, and even exchange a few words.

Yue Yi's heart was churning, it was completely different from going to see it secretly at night, if she could say a few words, even if it was only once in her life, she would feel no regrets.

"Princess's kindness, I will never forget it." Yue Yi saluted with a wave of his sleeves.

"You don't need to thank me. The late emperor trapped you all your life, and made your mother and daughter invisible. It's just for the late emperor's forgiveness."

Yue Yi heard the words: "I walked the road by myself, the late emperor did not force me."

As soon as the words fell, Yue Yi heard the footsteps of about seven or eight people in front of him, thinking it was guards patrolling, he said: "Someone is here, let me take my leave."

"Don't forget the appointment on New Year's Eve." Jiang Jingxin urged.

Yue Yi replied and flew away.

Jiang Jingxin stood for a long time looking at the direction where the other party disappeared. She always thought that the late emperor was the most kind father, but the kind father smiled and agreed to her knowing that her wish could not be fulfilled. How pathetic I am.

"Princess, why are you outside." The maid came forward with a cup of tea, "It's cold, you should go back to the bedroom."

"En." Jiang Jing regained his composure, turned around slowly, and entered the bedroom step by step.

Behind the white wall next to the long corridor, Meng Yunying had already burst into tears. She watched Jiang Jingxin enter the bedroom, and her heart seemed to be empty.Although she was standing far away, she couldn't hear what the two of them said, but looking at their expressions, the two said goodbye. If someone hadn't come, they probably couldn't bear to part.

"Hey." Meng Yunying sighed, knowing that General Shao was not dead, why did she fall into this love net?Meng Yunying raised her hand to wipe away her tears, turned around and walked up the corridor.

The official robe fluttered with the wind, just like her heart at the moment, fluttering and not knowing what to do.

At night, in the middle of the night, there was still a faint light in the bedroom of the Princess Mansion.

In the curtain, Jiang Jingxin turned around and woke up slowly. Seeing that there was no one beside the pillow, she was stunned for a long time.

"Come here." Jiang Jingxin pulled back the curtain and called out softly to the outside.

When I was young, the maid came in with a lamp.

"Princess, do you want to enter the water?" the maid asked.

"I'm not thirsty, what time is it outside?" Jiang Jingxin asked.

"Back to the princess, it's midnight."

Jiang Jingxin was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked with red and swollen eyes: "It's so late, hasn't the son-in-law returned home yet?"

"At the second watch, the servant asked, but the concierge didn't see the son-in-law coming back, so the servant sent someone to go to the yamen to have a look." The maid said, turned and left, and as soon as she left the door of the dormitory, she saw Meng Yunying going to the ear room, and said happily : "The son-in-law is back, the princess is thinking of you."

Meng Yunying's hand was on the door frame of the side room, and she was taken aback when she heard this.

"It's so late, is the princess still asleep?"

"The princess just woke up, and she didn't see her son-in-law. She is urging the servants to send someone to find you. Go back to your room and rest."

Meng Yunying felt sad when she heard the words, and said: "Go back and tell the princess that I am very cold, so I should stay in the side room, so that the princess won't be overwhelmed by the cold."

After Meng Yunying finished speaking, she pushed open the door of the side room.
