Feng Ling was about to say something else, but Gu Sanlang beat him to it, "Your Majesty, there are some things that are unnecessary to say, right?"

Feng Ling's eyes flashed slightly, and he caught the meaning behind Gu Sanlang's words. It turned out that he knew everything. Since he didn't want Lin Baoning to know about this, he had to die in his heart.

"What's going on?" Lin Baoning looked at the two of them curiously.

"That's all, it's nothing important. There are still things in the palace, so I'll take my leave."

After Feng Ling finished speaking, he left quickly.

Lin Baoning and Gu Sanlang were the only two people left under the verandah. Lin Baoning asked curiously, "What's going on? What's going on?"

Gu Sanlang's handsome face was a bit ugly, and his stern expression was a bit scary, "What does Feng Ling want from you?"

Lin Baoning chuckled, "Are you jealous?"

Gu Sanlang said nothing.

Lin Baoning's smile became even thicker and she stopped teasing him, "It's Chengzhou's business."

Since the palace change that day, Chengzhou has been under house arrest. Lin Baoning originally wanted to talk to Feng Ling about this matter, but unexpectedly he came to find her first and handed her something important.

Outside the palace, on the long corridor.

A figure was thin and slender. The moment he walked out of the palace gate, he looked at the dazzling sun in the sky. It was mid-morning and the sunlight was strong and dazzling. He looked straight ahead, his eyes fixed on a slender figure.

I was stunned for a long time.

After a while, he plucked up the courage and walked forward. When he saw her again, his pale face had a complex look.

Lin Baoning knew that in his current state, he would definitely not laugh if he made him laugh, so he didn't mind.

"Is it your idea that Feng Ling let me go?" After a while, he spoke. He originally thought that he would be trapped in that courtyard for the rest of his life, but he never thought that one day the clouds would clear and the sun would finally clear.

When the door opened, the only person he thought could help him was the woman in front of him.

Lin Baoning smiled, "It doesn't really count. Feng Ling took the initiative to bring it up."

Chengzhou sneered lightly, "Let the tiger return to the mountain? It shouldn't be Feng Ling's character."

Judging from his past dealings with Feng Ling, the other party would not give him a chance to survive if he pinched his lifeline. Moreover, now that he was in power, he would not let anyone who was a threat go.

To give in, or to take the initiative to let him go, I'm afraid it's because of Lin Baoning's level of consideration, and to buy a good deal for the other party.

"Anyway, you're out." After Lin Baoning finished speaking, he handed the package in his hand to him, "It's for you."

Chengzhou took the things doubtfully and heard Lin Baoning say again, "Princess Yueman's ashes."

She already knew about Princess Yue Man and Master Qin. Chengzhou was a poor child and Yue Man was a poor woman. She had wanted to return to her country all her life, but she had never been able to do so. Now,

If the ashes are given to Chengzhou, she will surely feel at ease.

Chengzhou's eyes instantly moistened, and his voice was choked with sobs, "Thank you..."

"Where are you going now?"

"Return to Yue Qi Kingdom."

Lin Baoning nodded in relief. This should be the best decision, and she could guess it.

"I have arranged for someone to take you all the way. You don't have to worry. There are things I have prepared for you on the carriage, and there will be people to settle you when you get to Yueqi Kingdom."

Chengzhou looked at the carriage behind Lin Baoning and the boy driving the horse. His mood was extremely complicated for a moment, "You... don't hate me? Don't you blame me?"

Lin Baoning shook his head, "None of this has anything to do with you. You were just involved for no reason and couldn't get out of it. Everyone has their own destiny. Just like when I picked you up and took you home, didn't I say anything about it?

, in my heart you have always been that lame boy with one leg, a picky eater and a bad temper who has a straight face all day long."

Lin Baoning touched his head gently.

Chengzhou seemed to have returned to that year, when he rolled down the mountain and was rescued by Lin Baoning and returned home.

From the time he was picked up from a mass grave by Qin Taifu's people and raised in the Yueqi Kingdom for so many years, until they told him the truth, he secretly returned to the country and was chased by Qin Taifu's enemies, causing him to fall down the mountain.

.

This scene, one thing after another, is as clear as yesterday.

Now, everything is over.

Those he carried, those he hated.

He became alone again.

"I will repay you." He owed her so much that he might not be able to repay the debt in his lifetime.

Lin Baoning waved his hand, "Let's go."

The sun was shining brightly, and the shadow of a carriage slowly lengthened until it was far, far away.

A certain Zhuangzi in the capital was sparsely populated. Occasionally, three or two birds flew across the sky, occasionally landed on the treetops, and then flew away quickly.

Zhuangzi's wooden door was pushed open with a creak.

Several figures slowly walked in from the gate and headed into the courtyard.

Under the sycamore tree in the courtyard, a figure can be vaguely seen standing on the spot. There is also an easel under the tree, which depicts a portrait of a human figure. The man is dressed in moon-white robes, his appearance is majestic, and his eyes are as gentle as water.

Sitting in front of the desk and playing the piano, his eyes seemed to be looking in one direction all the time, extremely affectionate.

The figure standing in front of the sycamore tree was slender and thin, with a beautiful face that was pale and bloodless. He was still holding two birds in his hands, motionless.

The little maid who had just picked up someone not far away looked at the man on the side and said, "My lord, the lady has been like this since she came back from the fight... The golden phoenix bird has been dead for several days, and she still can't bear to let it go.

Throw it away.”

Jiang Guogong waved his hand and stepped forward, "Qing'er."

Jiang Qing'er turned around blankly, and when she saw it was Duke Jiang Guo, she was able to salute, "Dad, you're here."

Jiang Qing'er's expression changed, "Dad, these birds were originally a pair. Later, the male bird died. The female bird didn't want to live alone, so she followed him. I didn't want them to be separated, and I didn't want to believe that they were like this.

died."

Jiang Guogong looked at the two birds in her hand that had been dead for who knows how long, and frowned slightly, "The past cannot be recalled. Since he is deceased, you should also look away."

Jiang Qing'er's expression changed a bit at this time, "I don't believe that he is dead. He will definitely come back to complete his unfinished grudge. How could he die like that so easily? He won't die.

, won’t die!”

For so many days, Jiang Qing'er still refused to believe the fact that Feng Chengjin had been defeated and died. That was not what the plot said. He should obviously live well, and should love her for the rest of his life and grow old hand in hand.

He wouldn't die for no reason like that, he would definitely come back alive!

Jiang Guogong obviously saw that Jiang Qing'er had lost her mind. He was so angry that he knocked down the two birds she was holding, "If these birds are dead, they are dead. There is no chance of them coming back to life!"

"Throw them out and burn them! The ashes will be blown up and they will completely disappear from this world!"

After hearing this, the little maid immediately put away the two dead birds and ran out in a hurry.

"No! No!" Jiang Qing'er panicked and wanted to step forward to stop her, but Jiang Guogong stopped her and held her tightly.

"Dad! Let go! Don't burn them, don't burn them!" Jiang Qing'er's eyes turned red and she shouted hysterically. In the end, she ran out of energy and fell under the tree, tears streaming down her face.

came out.

Jiang Guogong sighed, "Daughter, a dead person cannot be resurrected. Now Feng Ling is in charge of the whole Xinyong. You can survive not only because your father is on the right team, otherwise our whole family will have to join in! You will be here in the future."

Don't make any trouble, you'd better not mess with the Gu family couple."

Jiang Qing'er completely ignored Jiang Guogong and just kept crying.

Jiang Guogong sighed, "Daughter, listen to my father's advice. Feng Ling has just ascended the throne and his position is not yet stable. He still needs to rely on your father to support him. He has already made a plan and plans to let you enter the palace as a concubine.

I will mention it to the new emperor in a few days, and I think this matter will be settled. You can stay at Zhuangzi with peace of mind, and dad will take you home in a few days."

After Jiang Guogong finished speaking, he asked the maid to take good care of him and left.

Two or three more days passed like this.

Duke Jiang Guo then received the news that Jiang Qing'er's whereabouts were unknown, and that Zhuangzi's wife had left the building empty. Duke Jiang sent people to search everywhere, but could not find any sign of her.

Jiang Qing'er left, leaving the place of power where she had stayed for the longest time. She packed some fine gold and silver and went to a place where no one could find her. She changed her appearance. She didn't want to be the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in Beijing.

She is a noble daughter who doesn’t want to be a queen or concubine. She just wants to find that man, a man who she thinks can be reborn again.

She looks forward to the day when we meet again, and she will wait until he appears again.

When they meet again, they are just themselves.

Lin Baoning was also surprised when she received the news that Jiang Qing'er had disappeared. At that time, she was still eating breakfast, and Gu Sanlang was accompanying her to eat.

Lin Baoning glanced at Gu Sanlang and found that he didn't react much.

She looked down at the rice on her plate, hesitating a little, "What do you think about Jiang Qinger's disappearance?"

Gu Sanlang swallowed the food he picked up, glanced sideways at her casually, and said helplessly, "Call Mr. Xianggong."

Lin Baoning glanced around in an instant and found that the maids and servants not far away were showing expressions of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, and expressions of wanting to see but could only lower their heads as if they didn't know.

She pretended not to hear, and silently lowered her head to scoop rice into her mouth. With so many people watching, this was too embarrassing...

Seeing that she didn't respond, Gu Sanlang grabbed her bowls and chopsticks with his big palm, and leaned over with a handsome face. The man's air pressure came closer. Lin Baoning subconsciously held his breath and then looked sideways at him. There was a gap between the two.

The tip of her nose rubbed inadvertently, and she subconsciously moved her head back, but her head was held by his big palm, and she came closer again.
