"Then how did you escape from Yunyutang?" Jian Xiao was very curious. Tuo Jinglie's experience that day appeared in her mind countless times like watching a movie. She still doesn't believe it is true.
Tuo Jinglie shook his head, "Jian Xiao, I have promised my benefactor not to reveal his name, but I can tell you that after I fell and saw my death, he thrust his last sword to the side and told me to hold my breath.
He wanted to kill me, but he proposed to bury me alive, and finally rescued me from the ground. I said I couldn't expose him, otherwise his life would be in danger."
Jian Xiao nodded, "Since you are a benefactor, you must respect him."
"Let me ask you, what happened to Minlan?" Tuo Jinglie asked, "Isn't he Wanyun's child? Why did it become yours?"
Jian Xiao sighed, "It's not mine, it's ours. I thought you were dead, so I thought I might as well leave with you, but I didn't expect that I would have your child in my belly. I wanted to survive for the sake of my child."
Jian Xiao told the whole story of how she acted like a child in the palace, how she caused Wanyun to have a false pregnancy, and how she had a false miscarriage. When she mentioned Minlan, Jian Xiao couldn't help but her eye circles turned red again, "How could Minlan slip and fall into the water..."
"
"Didn't I tell you, Minlan is fine?" Tuo Jinglie kissed Jian Xiao's hair, "She is fine."
Jian Xiao wiped her tears, what's going on?
"Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on Minlan and Wanyun for you? Wanyun's girl ran out to find Minlan, and I felt something was wrong. After thinking about it, the only one in the harem who could attack was Concubine Gong Xian. I went to Guiyue Palace and sure enough,
Minlan was discovered”
"Then how did she fall into the water?" Jian Xiao asked
"Concubine Gong Xian, that bitch, didn't even spare a child and let her maid bury Min Lan to death!"
Hearing this, Jian Xiao exclaimed
"After they left, I quickly fished the child out. Fortunately, everything was fine! Minlan originally wanted to see you, but she was deceived by that bitch Gong Xianfei! But in order to make Gong Xianfei give up, I asked the guards to
They said something, but it happened and told Wanyun that he was still fine." Tuo Jinglie sighed and said: "I didn't know that Minlan was my daughter at the time, but I just thought that since it was your entrustment, I must do it.
I did it, but I didn’t expect that I actually saved myself!”
Jian Xiao thought for a while, that's not right. Zhang Qin would definitely know about such a big thing. Wouldn't all the painstaking efforts to conceal it be in vain?
Tuo Jinglie seemed to see Jian Xiao's doubts, "Don't worry, I have told Zhang Qin and he will cooperate with us!"
"Ah?" Jian Xiao was shocked, "How about that? Zhang Qin will not let this matter be hidden."
"It's impossible for him not to agree!" Tuo Jinglie said calmly, "Things are different now!"
"What do you mean?" Jian Xiao didn't understand. She didn't believe that anyone else in the world could persuade Zhang Qin except herself.
Tuo Jinglie curled his lips, "You don't know many things in the cold palace anymore, Zhang Qin..."
"What's wrong with him?" Jian Xiao asked anxiously
Seeing Jian Xiao being so anxious, Tuo Jinglie raised his eyebrows, "Are you so worried about him? Could it be that you and he have been in love for a long time?"
Jian Xiao pouted, "Just make me angry! Ah! When I'm angry, I'll hit the child in my belly!" Jian Xiao said pretending to be angry.
Tuo Jinglie touched Jian Xiao's abdomen with a pair of warm palms and said affectionately: "When you told me this, you don't know how happy I was. Today I know that I have a daughter." He sighed,
"I used to say that I was the most miserable person in the world, but now it seems that I am the happiest."
Jian Xiao leaned against Tuo Jinglie, "Do Yueyue and Brother Yun know that you are still alive?"
Tuo Jinglie shook his head, "Except for my benefactor and you, I didn't tell anyone. The less people know about it, the safer it is."
Jian Xiao nodded, "I understand, right, what happened to Zhang Qin?"
"He was assassinated by an assassin and is now terminally ill!" Tuo Jinglie said calmly.
"How could it be?" Jian Xiao was a little surprised. It had only been a few days since she had been thrown into the cold palace, so how could things have changed so much?
"I was not on duty that day. He was reviewing memorials in the Imperial Study Room and suddenly went to the assassin. When we passed by, his life was already hanging by a thread. The knife used by the assassin was coated with poison. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and Eucommia ulmoides was restored to life and his life was saved.
A life is coming," Tuo Jinglie said. "He is now like a useless person. He just regrets not listening to you at that time."
"Do you know who did it?" Jian Xiao asked
"But there must be an insider. This person has a clear grasp of Zhang Qin's daily schedule. I guess it must be Shang Feng who is behind this!" Tuo Jinglie said with certainty.
Jian Xiao shook her head, "What on earth is Shang Feng going to do? I don't have a clue right now. Maybe they put me in the cold palace just to assassinate Zhang Qin. So what will they do next?"
At this time, the east was gradually whitening, and the sun was rising slowly, dyeing the horizon with a trace of blood. Jian Xiao didn't know why this dark night was so long. She had experienced life and death, Nirvana and rebirth, despair and hope again and again.
, when I thought I had nothing, I didn’t expect that everything was around me.
This dark night has been too bloody, so will the upcoming tomorrow be the same?
"Don't wait until they take action," Tuo Jinglie said, "Come out of Leng Palace today and return to Xiaoxiang Tower. Zhang Qin, Wan Yun and Min Lan have already asked Eucommia ulmoides to take them away and send them to Yun'er."
"Then wouldn't you be exposed?" Jian Xiao asked with concern
"Don't be afraid. I told them that it was your intention. Wanyun is pregnant and needs to rest. Zhang Qin is my precious daughter and naturally she has to stay away from these bloody storms." Tuo Jinglie said, "So the palace needs you to take care of me."
Then Shangfeng will make a big move soon."
Jian Xiao nodded, "Okay! Fu Huan is the one who can be used. He can be trusted and no one else can."
"Well! I know this, and now I have to think carefully about how to treat that bitch!" Tuo Jinglie gritted his teeth and said, "My precious daughter almost died, and I, Jian Xiao, almost got into trouble. Such a snake-hearted person can't
Treat her well, I can't swallow this breath."
"This is natural!" Jian Xiao said, "There are too many conflicts between the two of us, and it's time to end them!"
Tuo Jinglie stood up and stared at Jian Xiao, "Jian Xiao, there are still unresolved matters at the moment, so I will wait for Wei Zhu to wait until the truth comes out, and then we can fly away together, okay?"
Jian Xiao nodded, picked up Tuo Jinglie's mask, and put it on for him with her own hands. Tuo Jinglie turned into Wei Zhu again, "General Wei, take care of yourself!"
"Mother, take care of yourself!"
Jian Xiao stood at the door and watched Tuo Jinglie's back walking away against the morning sun. For the first time in a long time, her heart felt warm.
The sun still rises as usual, but in Jian Xiao's eyes, today is not only the beginning of a new day, but also the beginning of his own battle.
