"I am not saying this to ask Fourth Master for forgiveness. I just hope that Fourth Master can understand my thoughts. Even if I have betrayed everyone in the world, I will never betray Fourth Master. Here..." She pointed to her chest and said
: "I beat only for the Fourth Master."
After saying this, she struggled to get up from the couch and knelt softly on the ground, "I have finished what I have to say. Kill me in return for your life. Please punish me to death."
Yinzhen stared at Tong Jia's hair with only a magnolia flower in it with a complicated expression. It was difficult to make a decision for a moment, which was completely opposite to his past character. Although Tong Jia made many big mistakes, it was not out of his own nature.
The heart's actions are hateful, but its feelings are pitiful.
Moreover, she did not betray herself regarding the death case. Yinsu still doesn't know that he has found Wang Langzhong.
This is also the bottom line he has set for Tong Jia. Once he crosses it, he will never show mercy no matter how reluctant he is to let go.
After all, she is just Mei'er's substitute...
Tong Jia was kneeling on the ground, extremely nervous. She was betting on Yinzhen's attachment to her face and her own weight in Yinzhen's heart.
Time seemed to have stopped flowing. In the dizzying tension, Yinzhen's indifferent voice finally came, "It's a good time to stay here to think about your mistakes and repent. You are not allowed to take a step before returning to the palace."
The sound of footsteps faded away by her ears until she stopped hearing it. Tong Jia raised her face, took a long breath, and called Xiao Er out. Because Huamei had injuries on her face, she was afraid that Yinzhen would ask, so Tong Jia
Shi didn't let her wait here.
Xiao'er was shocked when she saw Tong Jia's face mixed with blood and tears. She quickly stepped forward to help Tong Jia, whose legs were weak. After she sat firmly, Xiao'er reached out and tried to remove Tong Jia.
The silk handkerchief covering her forehead didn't want the blood to dry up, making the square silk handkerchief tightly
It's stuck to it. If you insist on taking it off, you won't have to suffer the pain of the flesh. While Xiao'er was hesitating, Tong Jia had already pulled off the silk handkerchief. When the silk handkerchief separated from the flesh, Xiao'er even heard "hissing"
"La", when I heard it, I got goosebumps all over my body.
Tong Jiashi stared at the blood-stained silk handkerchief expressionlessly, as if she couldn't feel the pain; if she hadn't responded promptly and hit her head against a pillar just now, I'm afraid she wouldn't have just thought about it now.
"Master, what happened?" Xiao Er asked as he brought a basin of warm water and wiped the blood from Tong Jia's face.
"The prince knows everything about Fu Congzhi." Tong Jiashi looked at the trembling hands on her legs. This was not a pretense, but a real thing. She was almost, almost doomed.
, it’s really dangerous.
"Ah!" Xiao Er exclaimed, no wonder the master looked like this, it was because of this incident, and asked nervously: "Then, what does the prince say?" If Tong Jia's misfortune, the people who serve them will also be unlucky.
It will not end well. Master and servant are closely related.
"I can't die. I'm just grounded and thinking about my mistakes." Tong Jia's eyes flashed coldly. She didn't expect that Yinzhen would find out so clearly about her affairs. Even Fu Congzhi knew about it, so she expected that Yinzhen would be suspicious of her.
, but failed to calculate this step, that’s why we lost so miserably.
I'm afraid that even the file on the death case was intentionally shown to him just to test her. Fortunately, he didn't make a big mistake in one thought, otherwise he would have died long ago.
Although it was disappointing to fall short, as long as she was alive, there was still room for improvement; next time, she would never make another mistake.
Let's say that Yinzhen left Yuedi Yunju with a heavy heart and returned all the way to Luoyun Kaiyue Pavilion. As soon as he entered the room, he smelled an appetizing aroma. When he took a closer look, he saw several exquisite decorations on the table.
Xiaocai, Ling Ruozheng stood aside and saw Yinzhen
He bowed and said, "I heard that Fourth Master didn't eat at night. I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I specially made some small dishes and sent them over. I heard from the dog that you were out, and I thought of taking a trip in vain. What a coincidence.
You are back soon, sit down and try my handiwork."
Yinzhen silently nodded, sat down, took the water from the maid, washed his hands, took a chopstick of stir-fried musu meat with black fungus, chewed it a few times and said, "It tastes good, refreshing and tough.
.”
Ling Ruo placed a dish of pearl fragrant rice in front of him and said, "Fourth Master, if you think it can still be eaten, eat more. I also stewed a cup of ginseng soup in the kitchen. It's almost enough to drink after dinner."
Yinzhen said nothing, picked up the rice and ate one after another with the few side dishes in front of him. After the bowl of rice was bottomed, he wiped his mouth and said to Ling Ruo, who was sitting opposite with a gentle smile, "You have nothing to say.
Ask me?"
"When the fourth master wants to say something, he will naturally say it. Why do I need to ask more questions?" Ling Ruo put away the dishes and chopsticks and ordered someone to take them out. There were only two of them left in the room, sitting opposite each other in the flickering orange candlelight.
Yinzhen leaned back, stared at Ling Ruo with complicated meanings and said, "Where was Li Wei last night?"
Long before Yinzhen came, Ling Ruo had learned from Gou'er that Yinzhen had gone to Yuediyunju. She originally thought that he was going to ask about Tong Jia's family, but she didn't know that he actually asked about it.
Li Wei's whereabouts, his heart jumped suddenly, and he said somewhat uncomfortably: "Why does Fourth Master ask this?"
"I asked Zhou Yong to go on an errand last night. When he came back, he told me that he had seen a figure who looked like Li Wei from behind, so I asked out of curiosity." Yinzhen's seemingly casual tone made Ling Ruo get excited.
Cold sweat, knowing that although Zhou Yong did not catch Li Wei last night, he guessed Li Wei's identity based on his silhouette.
Although he was surprised, Ling Ruo wasn't too offended at all. He was originally here to test Yinzhen's intentions, so it was a good opportunity to talk about it.
Thinking of this, Ling Ruo raised her skirt and knelt down flatly and said: "I have something to hide from Fourth Master, please forgive me."
"Get up first." Yinzhen's voice could not be rejected. After Ling Ruo stood still in front of him, he said again: "Tell me, what are you hiding from me?"
Ling Ruo bit her teeth lightly and said quietly: "After the incident with Zheng Chunhua last time, I was worried that Tong Fujin would do something stupid again, so I kept people paying attention to her actions. Yesterday, Li Wei told me that Tong Fujin
Fujin summoned Fu Congzhi, his concubine
Feeling strange in his body and mind, he asked Li Wei to keep an eye on Fu Congzhi. Unexpectedly, he found him slipping out of a dog hole and into an abandoned temple last night. After that, Li Wei was discovered by Zhou Yong, waiting for him to go back.
At that time, I found a ball of fire in the deserted temple."
"I don't know who I am, but..." She was about to say that Li Wei rescued Fu Congzhi, but Yinzhen interrupted her first, "I tell you, the fire was set by Li Luo's order."
"What?" Although she already knew about this, Ling Ruo never expected to hear it from Yinzhen, and she forgot her next words for a moment.
