Wen Jin patted Fu Jingheng's back, gently and repeatedly. He did not make a sound, but she knew that he was carefully feeling every stroke of hers, just like every time she comforted him who was fragile in the past.
Wen Jin looked at him sincerely, "We have known each other's position since we were children. You have always known that I was the pawn he placed beside you. But I have never used you or deceived you. Ah Heng
Brother is not an abandoned baby that no one loves. Brother Ahen is the emperor of Guangli Kingdom. Your mother, Chang Lin, Grandma, Zi Shu, Lao Mo, Qingliu, these people all care about you, I care about you too, you
You are not alone. When you are old, you will have children and grandchildren, and you will be bustling every day. You will not be alone when you grow old. Wenguang deliberately attacks you. If he loses, he can only attack you verbally. Don't be fooled.
.”
Fu Jingheng counted, and she patted him on the back twelve times, each time very gently. His frustrated mood calmed down a little. He looked at Wen Jin, not knowing what he was thinking, and said for a long time: "You also care about me? Is it true?
Do you care?"
"Brother Heng, we have a child in common. It's impossible for me not to care about the child's father. Cheer up. No matter whether we are together or not, you are the person I care about the most."
"Yeah." Fu Jingheng gradually came out of the despair of being abandoned by the world. He knew that Wenguang was talking nonsense. His Guaiguai just fell in love with the wrong person, but the feelings he had had were real and not for use.
"I met Li Shanbao secretly." Seeing that he was feeling better, Wen Jin stopped patting him. There was a look of disappointment in his eyes. She continued frankly: "He was ordered by Wen Guang to take me out of the palace and put me in a safe place.
Because Wen Guang always thought that I was his pawn. I learned from Shanbao that Wen Guang had buried tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder stones in Lishan Mountain, endangering the common people. Although I am a woman in the back court, I don’t know martial arts and cannot fly over walls.
, but I also wanted to resolve the crisis for my lord, and told him about the gunpowder stone. In order to gain his trust, I pretended to run away with him holding the jade seal, but in fact I wanted to kill him at a blind spot."
Fu Jingheng heard her explanation and stared at her face, but he was not too convinced. However, her words were sincere and did not seem to be deceiving him. What went wrong? Is it the military aircraft department or someone else? He didn't know.
No message from her was received.
"Didn't you find an excuse after being inspired by Meng Wan's talk about the gunpowder stone? Or, just like you knew the whereabouts of Wen Guang in the past, did you know about the gunpowder stone early on, but just watched me lead the troops?
Go to Mount Li to die?"
"Why do you think so? I didn't hear Meng Wan talk about the gunpowder stone as an excuse." Wen Jin was a little helpless, "I arranged for Qingliu to take people to strangle Li Shanbao's people, and I asked Qingliu to bring the news to him.
To Your Majesty. After Qingliu left, I didn’t know the rest of the story. I thought Qingliu was with you, but I didn’t see him come back."
Wen Jin gently touched his face with her fingertips, and he rubbed her palm with his cheek affectionately. She said, "I also wrote you a letter and told you the news about the gunpowder stone.
I also said that I hope you come back safely. Qingliu went to Lishan to find you with a letter. Qingliu can testify for me that I am not defecting."
"Good boy, Qingliu is dead." Fu Jingheng said solemnly: "You were silenced by Li Shanbao. You are so smart, you know that the dead will not speak to testify for you. I have no way to verify the truth or falsehood of your words."
Wen Jin's heart sank, and soon her eyes filled with tears. Suddenly she heard the news of her old friend's death, and she was really heartbroken, "What? Qingliu is dead?"
"Well. As a husband, I trust you unconditionally. But as the head of the court, I question whether the woman named Wen ordered Li Shanbao to kill my people? I also need an explanation from the Military Aircraft Department." Fu Jingheng was a little irritable.
He has never wanted to keep a woman so much, and he has never been so overwhelmed by a woman.
"Qingliu is also dead..." Wen Jin murmured, then put his hand on his heart and picked up his clothes, "How could I order someone to kill Qingliu? It's a pity that I can't prove it myself. Your Majesty
If you have doubts, I can only say with bare teeth that I am innocent. Well...I guarantee it with the honor of the king, and I guarantee with Chang Lin's health that I did not lie or betray the king!"
Fu Jingheng calmed down his manic mood, "I guarantee it with my reputation. I guarantee it with Changlin's health. You little thing..." He pinched the tip of her nose.
Wen Jin was very sad. She couldn't bear to see everyone around her leave one by one. The complicated court and harem made her even more intimidated. She shrank when the tip of her nose was pinched. When he heard her say this, he felt relieved.
, she doesn’t love him, but she loves Chang Lin, and will not gamble with Chang Lin’s health unless what she says is true.
"Qingliu and ten other secret guards all died when they strangled Li Shanbao and other traitors. Their bodies were scattered all over the capital. Qingliu's body has not been found yet. Qingliu was my confidant who died." Fu Jingheng said heartbrokenly, "Jin, your words
, I believe it. But you have never said a bad word about Lao Wen from beginning to end. I can understand your situation and sympathize with your feelings, but hundreds of officials can't. I don't even know how to continue to protect you."
As he spoke, he thought that Qingliu's body had not yet been found, and thought that Wenjin had given Qingliu a letter and asked Qingliu to take it to him in Lishan Mountain, and that Meng Wan's unexpected and timely appearance had saved tens of thousands of people in Lishan Mountain. His suspicions became even stronger.
Are these related in any way?
Wen Jin felt very distressed, "They didn't believe it, and I couldn't help it. Everything I said was true. I really wanted to win Li Shanbao's trust, so I pretended to go out with Yuxi with him. Everyone in Qingliu knew that. I really gave it to Li Shanbao."
You wrote a letter, written on your sleeve. It was written in blood with my blood. I also said I hope you are safe...
"I have neither seen Qingliu nor the letter you wrote. I won't say anything anymore. Let me think about it."
Fu Jingheng held Wen Jin in his arms, rubbed her back and smelled the fragrance of her hair.
"But you know, even when I first learned that you were betraying me with the jade seal, I still couldn't bear to ask the Royal Forest Army to scare you. Don't be afraid, I will not ask them to hurt you. I will protect you and will not follow the officials.
I am willing to give you death, because I promised that I will never give up on you again. Jiang Huaizhou and I have arranged to fake your death, and when the time is right, I will find a reason to send you out of the palace."
"Your Majesty," Wen Jin was hugged by him. Her arms hurt when he restrained her, but she didn't resist. Maybe she couldn't bear to leave him when parting was approaching. She leaned her cheek against his chest, as if she was quibbling, "Although
You may not believe it, but when you were in Lishan, I went to the Buddhist temple to pray every day, hoping that Changlin’s father would come back safely, because Changlin misses his father so much.”
Fu Jingheng remained silent.
"I didn't mean to show that I passed on secrets to you and wanted you to praise me with the intention of saving people. I really wrote a letter to tell you the truth. I am very sad that Qingliu died. You will not be able to discuss with him in the future.
, and there is no one to protect me on the roof. I did not order Li Shanbao to silence Qingliu. I ordered Qingliu to put Li Shanbao’s people to death, so that Li Shanbao would not go back to report to the media and ruin your big event." Wen Jin repeated again,
As if like this, Qingliu will come back to life, "But it's a pity that I am not as useful as Meng Wan. She has made great contributions to you. Everyone likes her, but I am your burden and a stain in your way."
Fu Jingheng looked at her with pity in his eyes, brought tea and fed her two sips. He did not see any witnesses or evidence, plus the news from the Military Aircraft Department, and some heart-breaking words from Lao Wen, his reason told him that he should not continue.
He fought against the court for Wenjin, but emotionally he was still willing to believe Wenjin's words. He felt sorry for her discouraged expression.
"Don't worry about the affairs of the court. Just spend this Mid-Autumn Festival with me before leaving, okay? Last year you and Chang Lin were outside during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year we will spend it together, for the sake of our children."
