After a few months, when Ning Yongnian saw You Jia again, he felt that the latter seemed to be the same as before, but he was no longer the same.
In November last year, he asked You Jia to go to Shuzhou alone to get close to Wei Changtian and gain his trust.
Later, he used Youjia as bait to reach a deal with the evil monk Jingyuan, in an attempt to cause a conflict between the Wei family and Buddhism.
However, Wei Changtian's move of "indulging in lust" caused the entire plan to fail, and You Jia was also rescued by Wei Changtian.
In the following months, Ning Yongnian never used Youjia again, until the killing order half a month ago...
The result was just as Li Huaizhong "worried" at the time, You Jia failed to kill Wei Changtian.
Ning Yongnian did not doubt whether all this was false, because he knew very well in his heart Youjia's affection for him.
In other words, he did not believe at all that Long Que who had grown up in the Dragon Guard since he was a child, that little girl whose life was saved by his own hands, that You Jia who would do anything for him...
One day he will betray himself.
"When did you come back?"
Looking at the woman standing respectfully opposite, a touch of tenderness appeared on Ning Yongnian's face: "Let's take a good rest when we come back this time."
"emperor."
You Jia lowered her head and whispered: "My subordinate failed to kill Wei Changtian and is willing to accept all punishments."
"It's not your fault, this kid is different from ordinary people after all."
Ning Yongnian shook his head slightly: "It would be best if you can succeed. If you don't succeed, it's not a fault."
"It's a blessing that you are fine now."
"..."
You're lucky if you're fine.
This was the first time You Jia heard Ning Yongnian say such words to herself.
She didn't know what the latter had experienced during her absence, and she didn't know whether these words were true or false.
If it had been a few months ago, You Jia would have been overjoyed.
But now Wei Changtian has occupied almost all of her heart, which makes her instinctively resist this sentence.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness..."
His head was still buried low and his voice was still very soft.
You Jia unconsciously took half a step back, and Ning Yongnian also noticed something at this moment.
"Youjia..."
"Why don't you dare to look at me?"
"..."
My heart seemed to skip a beat, causing my shoulders to tremble slightly.
In fact, on the way back to Daning, You Jia had already thought about how she should face Ning Yongnian.
But when she actually saw the latter, all her preparations were suddenly of no use.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Struggling to raise her head, Youjia forced herself to look into Ning Yongnian's eyes.
At this moment, the two people's eyes finally met in the air, silently, but it once again caused a ripple in everything that should have been forgotten in Yujia's heart.
"My subordinate failed to complete the task and has no face to face the emperor."
Biting her lip, Youjia found herself a very lame excuse.
And Ning Yongnian couldn't see anything strange in it.
"Youjia, is there anything you want to say to me?"
There was no harsh questioning or secret testing. Ning Yongnian just said softly in the same gentle tone: "No matter what it is, I won't blame you."
"Back to the emperor, there is no..." Youjia lowered his head again.
"Is it?"
Ning Yongnian paused and did not ask further: "In that case, then you can go and rest. We will talk about the rest later."
"yes."
As if she had been granted amnesty, Youjia immediately bowed and prepared to leave.
But just when she turned around and was just one step away from walking out of the room, Ning Yongnian's voice suddenly sounded behind her again.
"By the way, since I promised to marry you before, I will definitely keep my promise."
"I have ordered someone to check the date. The first day of August is a good and auspicious day. Then I will..."
"..."
In a daze, the sounds in my ears became smaller and smaller.
At this moment, Youjia could no longer hear what Ning Yongnian was saying, and could only feel that her thoughts were blocked by extremely chaotic and complex emotions.
Although Wei Changtian is almost all in her heart now, "almost" means not all.
how come......
No, it shouldn't be like this...
...
How Yu Jia ended up leaving the Shiqu Pavilion in such a daze, I'm afraid even she herself doesn't know.
But Ning Yongnian had a clear view of everything.
When the former's figure disappeared, the tenderness on his face gradually faded.
The candles of several long-lit lamps around him were pointing straight up. Ning Yongnian looked at a little red light thoughtfully, and suddenly asked: "Old Li, do you think Longque really took action?"
"emperor."
The candlelight flickered, and Li Huaizhong appeared from behind the screen: "According to the information sent back by the spies from Fengyuan, Longque did indeed assassinate Wei Changtian."
"I didn't ask you what the information said."
Turning to look at Li Huaizhong, Ning Yongnian repeated: "I'm asking you what you think."
"this......"
Li Huaizhong pretended to hesitate, and after a while he slowly answered: "Your Majesty, the old slave watched Longque grow up, so he will definitely never commit any act of rebellion."
"If that's the case, then she can't bear it?"
"I guess so."
Li Huaizhong borrowed the donkey down the slope and followed Ning Yongnian's guess: "In any case, Wei Changtian saved Longque's life, and the two of them got along day and night for more than several months. Under such circumstances, Longque felt guilty, and even
It’s okay to be in a trance now.”
"Um."
Nodding, Ning Yongnian stood up and paced back and forth in front of the desk for a few times, then suddenly stopped and said, "Old Li, you heard what I just said to Longque."
"Tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs and let them prepare."
"On the first day of August, I will make Longque my concubine, with the title... Zhen."
"..."
"yes."
...
...
Five days later, June 12th.
Fengyuan, Princess Mansion.
In the early morning, Wei Changtian and his party finally returned to Fengyuan City from the Western Desert Gobi.
Although it didn't take much effort to find Lao Zhangtou this time, it still took more than ten days on the way back and forth.
Now, there are only three days left before the people of Fengyuan City begin to evacuate.
According to the previous plan formulated by the Dafeng court, if Wei Changtian failed to kill Yan Luo, the people in Fengyuan City would begin to evacuate on June 15th, and the whole process would last about twenty days to ensure that on July 15th, the people in Fengyuan City would start to evacuate.
No one was left in the city on the day of the festival.
Of course, the evacuation of the people does not conflict with "Beheading Yama".
So for Wei Changtian, he still has at least one month left.
"..."
"Young Master, Princess, Senior Zhang."
Chu Xianping, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, saw Wei Changtian and others getting off the carriage and immediately came forward to greet them.
His eyes paused on Du Chang for a moment, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just followed Wei Changtian as he walked sideways into the courtyard.
"Sir, Youjia has returned to the capital."
"Is it?"
Wei Changtian nodded: "Nothing strange, right?"
"this......"
Chu Xianping lowered his voice, leaned close to Wei Changtian's ear and whispered: "Tongzhouhui's spies working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported back that Ning Yongnian wants to canonize Youjia as a concubine on the first day of August."
"What? Become a concubine?"
Wei Changtian paused, frowned and asked, "What did You Jia say?"
"A few days ago, Miss You sent a reply from Ranyu to confirm the matter and asked..."
Chu Xianping's tone was calm.
"And asked the young master what he wanted her to do?"
