"At least, I won't harm innocent people like you." Jiang Bo said.
"innocent?"
When Mu Qingchao heard this, he felt even funnier.
"Who is innocent? Who is not innocent? Prince Jiang, do you know who the person in front of you is?"
Mu Qingchao asked Jiang Bo, but did not wait for his answer. He answered alone: "She is my cousin, the current Jade Concubine."
"Oh, by the way, you just came back from the border, and when my uncle kept saying that he wanted to kill the demon concubine, you probably didn't know.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you know. If he wants to kill me, he is killing his relatives out of justice.
And if I want to kill him, it’s hopeless! Isn’t it?”
Mu Qingchao was being held captive by Jiang Bo. When she said this, her eyes were full of dissatisfaction. She asked: "My lord, do you know what day it is today?"
"Lunar New Year's eve!"
"Other families are having family reunions, guessing lantern riddles, and watching fireworks, but what about me? I want to stay in this palace, walking on thin ice. If I take a wrong step, I will lead to an abyss.
Do you really think I enjoy living like this?
Do you think I don’t want to be a weak and delicate girl who is protected by others? Do you think I don’t want to be clean and innocent and only talk about romance?
But is it my choice?
I still have a family. It doesn’t matter if I die. I still have a mother and a younger brother. They are the only people in the world who care about me. How can I let them be implicated just because I am alone?"
When Mu Qingchao talked about this, he felt really sad.
What day is it tonight?
It was the day when she was tortured to death in her previous life and her body was hung on the city tower for public display.
She was in prison, and was tortured to the point where there was almost no good flesh left on her body. Her scalp was torn off, her knees were gouged out, one eye was driven by an iron nail, and the other was covered with blood scabs, and she could hardly survive.
See things.
She endured all this, and she said over and over again in prison: "Everything was done by me alone, without anyone's instructions, and it has nothing to do with my family."
"I am not a spy sent by the enemy country. I am just stupid and greedy. I want to use incense to gain favor. It was me who killed the emperor."
…………
She was tortured by an iron skirt and her whole body was burned by high temperatures. All she thought about was her family.
In a blur of consciousness, she saw the day she entered the palace.
Her mother put the last money on her body and said: "Yaoyao, even if you get to the palace, you should be well and remember to wear more clothes when the weather is cold.
You are afraid of the dark at night and your mother cannot accompany you. Remember to leave a small light for yourself.
Mom is incapable of helping you, so you have to be good, you must be good, do you hear me?"
Thinking of her brother chasing her sedan for a long distance, she cried and shouted: "Sister, sister..."
The wind was very strong that day. Mu Qingchao sat in the sedan and looked outside. He saw his mother standing in the wind, her hair messed up by the long wind, and her eyes were fascinated by the wind and sand.
The younger brother said: "Sister, you must come back to see Qingyan..."
But until the end of her life and death, she never saw her mother and brother again.
Mom still remembers that she was afraid of the dark at night, but it was really dark inside the prison, like a cannibal hell.
Later, she finally saw the plight of her mother and her brother in the history books.
It is clearly written above that the mother and aunt were exiled to Lingnan, the younger brother was sent to the army, and the two concubine sisters were reduced to official prostitutes.
This short line represents the blood and tears of their family.
She touched the words with her fingers, but she couldn't even shed tears.
It was she who harmed them...
It's all her...
The world used her, spurned her, criticized her, and no one was worthy of her. Only her family members truly loved her, cared for her, and cared about her, but they all suffered great disasters because of her.
No one can describe such a mood.
Her liver and intestines were broken, and her face was full of blood and tears. She only regretted why she was left with a trace of her soul?
She deserves to be sent to the eighteenth level of hell to have her skin skinned and her tongue pulled out.
As I thought about it, a tear fell down.
Jiang Bo pinched Mu Qingchao's neck and felt a little warmth fall on the tiger's mouth.
"You...cry?" he asked.
But Mu Qingchao's voice choked with sobs: "You are all bullying me..."
"Who bullied you?"
Jiang Bo said in a panic.
With all his conscience, how could he bully her? Haven't he been hurt badly enough since he met her? Just now, a knife almost killed him.
Why are you still rake it up?
However, Jiang Bo had never seen a girl cry before, so he couldn't stand it when he saw her like this.
He was in a hurry, trying to wipe her tears but felt it was inappropriate, so he simply turned his back to her: "You... please stop crying first."
His voice was stiff, the tone he always used when ordering his subordinates on the battlefield.
But Mu Qingchao was not one of his soldiers.
"I just cried, I just cried..." She squatted on the ground and actually cried "whimpering" in a serious voice.
Tears fell down like peas.
Jiang Bo: "Tsk..."
Really, only women and villains are difficult to raise.
"Then what do you want from me? I...can't I apologize to you?" He turned around and looked at her red eyes, and thought about it again. It seemed that he had indeed used a little more force just now.
"I don't mean to embarrass you. It's just that swords have no eyesight on the battlefield. I'm used to defense. If you stab me with a dagger, I will naturally..."
Alas, it seems useless to say this.
"I'm wrong, okay?"
He was so talkative and kind of like coaxing a child.
It's just that the iron-clad Prince Jiang has never tried to coax anyone. He speaks in a serious and submissive manner, but he looks out of place.
He knew that his tone was not very good and he was too anxious.
"No matter what, no matter what, I'll protect you. Don't worry, no one will dare to embarrass you as long as I'm here."
This is not an exaggeration. The whole of Nanming owes Jiang Bo a favor. If he wants to intercede for others, even Shen Muchi has to give him some face.
He half-bowed and asked Mu Qingchao, who was squatting on the ground, "How are you?"
However, the next second, Mu Qingchao reached out and grabbed his belt.
Jiang Bo was startled and subconsciously wanted to catch her. His hand stopped in mid-air and he took two steps back.
In the moment of hesitation, Mu Qingchao had already pulled off his belt.
In an instant, his clothes fell apart.
"got it!"
Mu Qingchao stood up, took the belt in his hand, and shook it at him.
"what are you doing?"
Prince Jiang, who was usually dignified and upright, never showed his clothes half untied to others? At this moment, he looked at Mu Qingchao in shock and anger.
"Didn't the prince just say that he wanted to protect me? It would be better to remain silent to help me out.
Now the prince's belt is in the hands of the Aijia. If the prince goes out and says one more word, the Aijia will tell others that the prince is treating the Aijia lightly."
There was a smile on her face, but she still looked sad just now?
Only the crimson ring under her eyes proved that she had cried.
Jiang Bo had never seen such a woman before. Fortunately, he had felt compassion just now and fell into her trap again.
"Give it back to me!" Jiang Bo said.
"not return!"
Jiang Bo tried to grab it, but Mu Qingchao took his belt and ran out of the woods.
There were many people in front of him, so Jiang Bo naturally did not dare to show off to others.
Mu Qingchao stood at the end of the forest, turned his head and said to him: "Your Majesty, you must think clearly. What happened to the Jade Concubine has become a fact. No matter what the truth is, her life has been ruined.
And the prince, must he risk his innocence for a futile truth?"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and headed in the direction of Yuxia Palace.
