Lin Chong knew that he did not dare to face him now, so he paced back and forth in the room with evil intentions. Seeing that the other party was about to become unbearable, Lin Chong stopped compassionately.
"Dong Fang, you led the three battalions of people to openly rebel. Do you know what your crime is?"
"Conspiracy is a major crime, and the nine tribes should be punished." Dong Fang's voice was muffled.
"Then let me ask you, do you know your guilt?"
Although he was seriously injured, Dong Fang still jumped down from the bed and knelt at Lin Chong's feet: "Your Majesty, I committed a major crime through ignorance and ignorance. I deserve to be killed or shaved. But there are still so many brothers in the three camps.
, most of them don’t know what happened, they are guilty but please have mercy on your majesty and give them a way out.”
Lin Chong was silent, and Dong Fang felt uneasy. If His Majesty was really unwilling to show mercy, then a large number of people would die because of his impulsiveness.
"Do you know who is going to kill you?" After a long time, Lin Chong asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the topic being discussed.
"I know, it's King Ji." Dong Fang gritted his teeth when he mentioned this.
He really didn't expect King Ji to be so ruthless. In fact, even if they were caught, they had no intention of confessing King Ji. But when King Ji faced danger, the first thing he thought of was not how to save them but how to protect himself.
, this made Dong Fang feel very chilled.
"I believe you and I know who the mastermind behind this matter is, but I don't think he will let you leave any substantive evidence. So even if you say that he is the mastermind now, there is no substantive evidence."
He will not admit guilt based on the evidence. Originally, I didn’t want to let you go, but the most correct thing you did was to save Zhang Wei.”
"Third brother... What I regret most now is that I didn't listen to his dissuasion. Everyone says that among the three of us, third brother is the most straightforward and dull. In fact, he is the one who sees the most thoroughly."
"Zhang Wei is my savior. You can be considered a favor to him by saving him. He only made one request, which is that he hopes to save the lives of his two brothers."
Dong Fang was silent.
Lin Chong continued: "For the sake of your deep brotherhood, I think I can give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, but you have to promise me that the three camps will be absolutely loyal in the future. If I find out that you have any different intentions in the future, you will be severely punished.
"
Dong Fang did not expect that His Majesty would give him a chance to atone for his crimes. He was so excited that he was a little incoherent: "I... I... I promise that I will definitely fulfill my mission and live up to the Emperor's trust."
Lin Chong hummed and helped Dong Fang up from the ground: "You are seriously injured, so take a good rest first. It's up to you how you explain it to the people under you later."
Lin rushed away, and Mumu snorted proudly: "There are not many people as good as our young master nowadays. You must think clearly about the consequences before doing anything in the future. My young master is not always so generous."
Dong Fang nodded stupidly, unable to accept this reversal in his mind.
The first thing Lin Chong did after he came back was to see how Zhang Wei was doing. He was relieved to find that although he was in prison, he still had no arms or legs.
The second thing was to see how Miss Liu was doing. He thought that since King Ji liked Miss Liu, her situation would not be too bad.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked, the eunuch whispered to him that Miss Liu had been laid to rest.
Lin Chong was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck. After a long time, he asked again as if he had not heard clearly: "I am talking about Miss Liu, Master Liu who is an errand in the Chamberlain's House. Did you hear correctly?"
A group of maids and eunuchs knelt in a row on the ground and did not dare to speak. Wang Chengen came over and motioned for them to go down first.
Lin Chong and Wang Chengen were the only two people left in the hall. Wang Chengen took a step forward and said, "My old slave has gone to see Miss Liu's tomb in person. Your Majesty is also tired today. You should take a good rest."
Lin Chong shook his head: "I'm not tired, please take me to see her."
He had turned into a big kid again at this time, and Wang Chengen didn't know how to refuse him. He had no choice but to agree and take him to the back mountain.
This road was not unfamiliar to Lin Chong. He had passed by it many times when he came to find Jonathan. He also knew that this was a cemetery, but he never thought that one day people he knew would be buried here coldly.
He knew from the beginning that Liu Shishi was approaching him with a purpose, and he had always been defensive about her. Later, he made her an official in the palace just to monitor her movements and give Li Zicheng an explanation.
In fact, she is a very simple girl.
I originally thought there would be no intersection, but I didn't expect that before I could repay her for saving my life, she would already stay here forever.
Lin Chong poured himself a glass of wine. This was not the first time he faced the death of a relative, and he was not particularly sad. He just felt a little empty and confused and didn't know what to do.
He sat here until dark, and it was of no use to anyone.
Yuan Qingfang leaned against a tree not far away and watched him, watching him drink glass after glass of wine. Finally, she walked over to him and sat side by side with him in front of the tombstone.
"Will you disappear suddenly one day like her? You won't even tell me or give me any chance to prepare."
"Maybe." Yuan Qingfang was as understated as ever.
Lin Chong sighed. Although he had known this would be the result, he still felt a little sad when he heard it with his own ears.
"You have to understand that even if I really die one day, I will die for you. Your existence has special meaning to me."
Lin Chong felt dumbfounded when he heard this specious confession: "It's not me who has special meaning to you, and it's not me you're fighting for. I'm just an ordinary person with no merits."
Yuan Qingfang snatched the wine bottle and wine glass from his hands and threw them on the ground. "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
This was the first time that Lin Chong was carried to such a high position using Qinggong. It felt a bit like riding a Ferris wheel but its trajectory was irregular.
Lin Chong didn't know where Yuan Qingfang was taking him, so he wasn't in a hurry and just enjoyed the scenery along the way.
When they reached a very high roof, Yuan Qingfang put him down. "Did you see it?"
Lin Chong was puzzled: "What do you want me to see?"
Yuan Qingfang didn't speak. She slowly looked away into the distance, and Lin Chong followed her gaze and looked forward.
It was just after dinner, and there were many people wandering the streets with their families. The people seemed to have begun to feel that the war was becoming far away from them.
"Just a year ago, Li Zicheng rebelled and led a group of refugees into the capital. At that time, everyone in the capital was in danger. Not to mention that it was almost dark now, even on the streets at dawn
They can live such a life full of hope now because of you. No matter who you are or where you come from, the significance of your existence to them is unquestionable, and it is the same to me."
