Ling Jijie put down his legs and his expression suddenly became serious, "The purpose of this trip is to meet the man who came back from the dead."
"Hua Zhiniang?"
Ling Jijie nodded and said, "I came here to take her away."
"You want to kidnap her while the prince is away? Why? Has she offended you?" Lian Ruoyi asked in confusion.
Ling Jijie patted his forehead gently and said: "She didn't offend us, it's just Ling Jiyun who offended us. Now that he owns most of the Aoran Dynasty, we have no choice but to make the next move."
"Actually, there is no need for things to be like this between you. The prince raised an army because you were the one who forced him to do so." She knew something about Ling Jiyun's childhood.
Ling Jijie frowned and said: "That day in the royal study, after he sought justice for his mother and concubine, everyone in the court knew that the fourth prince was definitely not a thing in the pool. How do you think the queen died?
It’s not like Ling Jiyun secretly sent someone to poison him. Anyone who offends him has no choice but to die. Rather than just sit back and wait for death, it’s better to give it a try. Brother, the relationship between him and me is destined to be a life-and-death affair."
"But you are brothers. It was you who bullied him since childhood. It was you who were at fault first."
Ling Jiyun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Girl, the current situation is no longer a matter of familiarity and wrong. My eldest brother hates him, hates his innate talent for governing the world, hates him for killing his mother,
Later, I regretted that he met Hua Zhiniang first."
"What? My eldest cousin is also interested in Hua Gardenia...?"
Ling Jijie acquiesced, and Lian Ruoyi immediately asked: "Since my eldest cousin likes Hua Zhiniang, why did he let you tie her up?"
Ling Jijie sighed: "Men are animals, when power is opposed to the woman they like, they will tend to power. This is a wise move."
Lian Ruoyi finally felt relieved, "You want to kidnap Hua Zhiniang to threaten the prince?"
"Um--."
"But - but you just said..."
Understanding what she meant, Ling Jijie continued: "Except for Ling Jiyun, he is a man who wants both power and women. That's why he is terrifying, and that is why he is undefeated on the battlefield and is unstoppable."
"But second cousin, do you think you can easily kidnap Hua Gardenia away?"
"What do you mean?" Ling Jijie asked with a frown.
Lian Ruoyi walked around the table, sat on a stool and said, "You should know about the prince and her being captured by the ghosts of Ruiyang Mountain."
Ling Jijie nodded and said, "I think I heard my elder brother mention it."
"Did you know? The mountain king of Ruiyang Mountain fell in love with Hua Zhi Niang. They met each other every night. Hua Zhi Niang not only protected herself from harm, but also kept the prince unharmed. In the end, she used the colorful sparrow to bring back the letter.
Let Feng Qing lead the officers and soldiers to destroy the lair of the mountain ghosts in Ruiyang Mountain." Lian Ruoyi said quietly, although he hated her, her intelligence and wisdom were simply beyond his reach, so he had to admire her.
"Such a thing actually happened?" Ling Jijie couldn't believe it. Although he knew that Hua Zhiniang was smart, he didn't expect that she could do this.
"So it's not that easy to tie her up."
Ling Jijie smiled and said, "Have you just come to ask cousin Ruoyi for help?"
Wei Zheng, no wonder he told himself so many things, it turned out that this was the purpose, "Second cousin, why do you think I will help you?"
Ling Jijie raised the corner of his mouth and said seductively: "Don't you want Jiyun to pamper you and pity you like before? Or are you willing to be in your current situation and would rather live alone like this for the rest of your life?"
"I..." Lian Ruoyi began to hesitate, asking herself if she really planned to live like this for the rest of her life?
"Ling Jiyun loves Hua Zhiniang, it is a possessive love, but Hua Zhiniang loves Ling Jiyun, but she has reservations."
Lian Ruoyi was a little confused and asked: "What do you mean?"
"You also know Jiyun's temper. She loves Hua Zhiniang and also loves the world, but Hua Zhiniang only loves Ling Jiyun and does not love his world. This is the reason why she refused the marriage in public that day.
"
Lian Ruo said in shock: "You even know this?"
"Hmph——." Leng Yin: "He will send spies to Aoran City. We are just communicating as a courtesy."
Lian Ruoyi remained silent, the fight between men was too terrible. Thinking about it now made her feel chilled, but then she heard Ling Jijie say: "If you love Ling Jiyun, you will also love his world. You are better than Hua Zhiniang in this regard."
Qiang, what she wanted was a simple love and she did not accept San Gongyuan's ambition. But you are different. You know what Ling Jiyun wants and what he wants. Then why don't you think about yourself, if one day
He was suddenly overcome by Hua Zhiniang's stubbornness and followed her into the mysterious forest where he could never enter or exit. What should you do?"
"No——." After Ling Jijie finished speaking, Lian Ruoyi stood up unwillingly.
Very good, this was the reaction he wanted, "Cousin, I've already said this, you can think about it yourself."
"what do you want me to do?"
I thought she would hesitate for a long time, but I didn't expect the reply so soon, "As long as you get her out of the house within two days." Because he had been in the city for several days and could not be in the city lord's house.
He kidnapped Hua Zhiniang, but she never left the house.
"Can you guarantee that you can get her away without hurting the prince?" Lian Ruoyi felt uneasy at this moment. She didn't know whether to believe Ling Jijie's words, but for her own sake, she had to take a gamble no matter what.
.
Ling Jijie shook his head and said truthfully: "No, I kidnapped Hua Zhiniang just to hurt him."
"Then I can't promise you." Thinking of Ling Jiyun's devastated look after Hua Zhiniang left before, she didn't want to see it again.
"But you have to know that hurting him is only for a period of time and not long-term. Don't you have the confidence to get his heart back during the time when he loses Hua Zhiniang?"
Taking a deep breath, he held back his racing heart, his eyes flickering with determination, but with reservations. Hua Zhiniang had been away for a year, and Ling Jiyun's heart had not wavered. He wanted to take back his freedom in a short time.
It was easier said than done to gain the heart from Hua Zhiniang? But she could not admit defeat, nor would she give up. She reaffirmed her heart and said confidently: "I know what to do."
"Then you should think about your strategy carefully. It's time for me to leave." Ling Jijie walked to the window and was about to open it.
Lian Ruoyi suddenly asked: "Second cousin, can you answer my question?"
He took back his hand to push the window and looked back: "What's the matter?"
"You don't hate the prince, nor do you hate Hua Zhiniang, why do you do these things for your eldest cousin?"
Ling Jijie opened the window again and said with a hint of sadness: "Because his mother and I are the same person."
After Ling Jijie left, Lian Ruoyi lay back on the bed again, looked at the ceiling of the tent, and said quietly: "We are born from the same roots, so why are we in such a hurry?"
