When Zhao Ji returned to the palace, the scene she had just seen in the garden kept replaying in her mind, and the words Yang Ming once said to her appeared in her ears from time to time.
"The Ai family's face." After thinking about it, Zhao Ji couldn't help but sigh, feeling it was boring.
"What happened to the Aijia?" Zhao Ji reached out and touched her heart, pressing the soft target into a deep dent. She seemed to want to touch her heart and see what was going on in her heart.
an idea.
In front of Zhao Ji was the fact that Yang Ming, who seemed different to her, seemed to be no different from those who flattered her and wanted to get something from her.
Zhao Ji has seen many such people. If she is in a bad mood, she will punish such people. If she is in a good mood, she does not mind letting such people get some benefits.
But when Yang Ming thought about Yang Ming's possible deception, Zhao Ji found that she, who should have been angry, couldn't get angry at all, and she only felt empty.
It was a feeling of disappointment, disappointment replaced anger, and this was the first time for Zhao Ji.
Thinking of the young man she saw in Qilin Pavilion that afternoon, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Recalling the contact between the two, from the idle chat, to the competition for the position of captain of Ganquan Palace, to that afternoon, the blood flowing under the sword blade, and the sound of "little aunt". Zhao Ji suddenly realized that it turned out that
I have had so much contact with Yang Ming.
In Zhao Ji's mind, a fact was clearly presented, a fact that she had not been able to discover before. She understood why she was not angry, only disappointed.
"Huh? It's really funny. Who is the Ai family like that?" Zhao Ji smiled, but the smile was very strange. It was a sad smile, a bitter smile, or something else.
"If you want to get something from the Aijia, then the Aijia will give it to you. However, if you lie to the Aijia again, the Aijia will never let you go again." Zhao Ji thought, and fell into it.
In a long-lasting memory.
Yuan Li, who never left Zhao Ji more than ten steps away, looked at Zhao Ji in fear. It was really that Zhao Ji was so abnormal now, so abnormal that it gave her an unknown fear.
Yuan Li couldn't help but feel sympathy for Yang Ming. In Ganquan Palace, if anyone made Zhao Ji feel bad, she could make that person feel bad.
"I thought I heard something just now?" In the garden, Jing Salamander said to Yang Ming while adjusting his wrinkled dress.
"Not everyone can enter a place like this." A refreshed Yang Ming said as he looked at the charming Jing Salamander with jade-like cheeks.
"But there are still people who can come in and out." Suddenly, Jing Salamander seemed to have become much more alert, and he caught the loophole in Yang Ming's words in just a moment.
"It's nothing, it's just that someone saw it." Yang Ming stretched his arms, picked up the Frightened Salamander, and placed the soft ball on his lap.
"Is it the Queen Mother and the others?" Jing Salad said in shock, and then he felt worried. A killer might not care about Zhao Ji's power, but as Yang Ming, the woman of Ganquan Palace, Jing Salad had to make herself think about it.
Lots and lots of things.
"Yes." Yang Ming nodded.
"Then we were all seen just now?" Frightened Salamander's expression was already more than a little panicked.
"I'm afraid so, but don't worry, they won't see too much. You belong to me, and I don't want others to take advantage of you, not even women." Yang Ming was half joking, half acknowledging.
Zhidi said.
"Is there really no problem?" Frightened Salamander still said worriedly.
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother didn't rush over immediately. She won't say anything else after that," Yang Ming said.
"Really? Just, husband, how do you know that the Queen Mother will not pursue the case later?" Jing Salad asked suspiciously. Although she had absolute trust in Yang Ming, just like she did in Daliang, the Queen Mother Zhao and Yang were involved.
How did Ming become so determined?
It has to be said that no matter what kind of female killer she is, she is still a woman, and some female talents are flowing in her blood. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, these potential talents will turn into reality.
"Because she is the Queen Mother Zhao." Yang Ming said.
Dealing with a woman like Queen Mother Zhao requires a lot of strategy, and the relationship between Yang Ming and Zhao Ji is now a process of testing each other intentionally or unintentionally. However, Yang Ming's testing is proactive and manifests unintentionally.
However, Zhao Ji's temptation was passive but manifested intentionally.
This process is a tug-of-war. It depends on who can figure out the opponent's background first. At that time, the person in the lead will be able to take the initiative in this game.
"What's the answer?" Jing Salamander asked with slight dissatisfaction in confusion. She felt that Yang Ming was perfunctory with her.
"Okay, now let's practice swordplay." Yang Ming took the initiative to change the subject.
"Rest for a while, rest for a while." The scary salamander said slightly panicked.
"You?" Yang Ming looked at the Frightened Salamander on his legs in astonishment. He could clearly feel that the temperature of the Frightened Salamander's body had risen a lot in an instant.
"I'm talking about this sword." Yang Ming took the two long swords placed on the stone table and said.
"That's what I said." Jing Salamander calmed down. For a moment, even Yang Ming couldn't tell what Jing Salamander was really thinking at this moment.
As time goes by, Yang Ming's life is very peaceful. In the morning, he is either dealing with official duties or practicing with the guards who take turns. In the afternoon, he learns swordsmanship with Jing Salamander. In the evening, he goes to the Meng family every ten days.
On this trip, he and Meng Tian studied the art of war with Meng Ao. In such a monotonous life, time soon came to the fifth year of the Qin Dynasty.
However, during this period of time, Yang Ming saw Zhao Ji less and less.
In the early spring of the fifth year of King Qin's reign, the spring breeze gradually blew away the coldness of winter, and the Guanzhong Plain became a little more vibrant and green.
After a month, Yang Ming met Zhao Ji again and met the owner of Ganquan Palace.
There is a small wooden bridge built on the river inside Ganquan Palace. This is a separate courtyard of Ganquan Palace. There are small bridges, flowing water, and wooden house fences. There are swans gathering on the river to play, and fish swimming around in panic.
escape.
It is said that this place was a piece of land specially designated by the Empress Dowager Xuan. In the Ganquan Palace with tall buildings and halls, a wooden house that was no different from ordinary people was built.
No one knows why a woman as powerful as the Empress Dowager Xuan built such an ordinary courtyard in a place like Ganquan Palace. Some people know that the Empress Dowager Xuan often came here in her later years and stood alone on the small bridge.
, looking at the flowing water under the bridge, stroking the railing alone and thinking deeply, it seems to be reminiscing, and also seems to be paying tribute.
One afternoon, Zhao Ji came to this place alone, a place that had no owner for a long time.
Looking at the small bridge and flowing water in front of her, Zhao Ji suddenly understood why the Empress Dowager Xuan came to such a place to be alone in her later years.
Ganquan Palace is too big, too magnificent, and there are too many people, but it is also because of this that it is easier to feel lonely in a place like Ganquan Palace.
The palace is too high and too big, so that people in front of it are so small. There are too many people, but there are so many people, but no one can truly communicate with them. The more people there are, the more lonely they feel in contrast.
The heavier.
"Sometimes, it's really not a good thing when people are too smart." Zhao Ji looked at the running water and rubbed her forehead in distress.
In her sight, a group of patrolling soldiers patrolled past the palace wall in the distance. Seeing those guards, Zhao Ji couldn't help but think of the person who seemed to have deceived her.
The distance was too far, so Zhao Ji couldn't see anything, but suddenly, she saw a figure jumping down from the palace wall. The height of almost five feet seemed to not exist under the person's feet. Zhao Ji
There was only time to see an afterimage, and the man was already on the ground.
Immediately, an afterimage flashed in the distance from time to time, getting closer and closer.
This was obviously a master, a master coming towards Zhao Ji. Such a master with unknown intentions approached Zhao Ji so quickly. Normally, Zhao Ji might have instinctively called for help, but at this time, she did not come out.
The meaning of sound.
The speed of that figure was so fast that even a person with martial arts skills would have difficulty identifying the person coming. However, Zhao Ji did not show any panic because she knew who the person coming was. In Ganquan Palace, she dared to do this.
There is only one person who runs around without restraint.
"I have met the Queen Mother in my humble position." Yang Ming came under the bridge and saluted Zhao Ji.
"Colonel Yang, running so unscrupulously in the palace grounds violated the prohibitions of Ganquan Palace. As the Colonel of Ganquan Palace, you should know what kind of crime this is." Looking at Yang Ming who appeared in front of her, Zhao Ji looked calmly.
said.
Zhao Ji once wanted to tame Yang Ming, just like taming a pet. Later, as Zhao Ji's taming plan began, she regarded Yang Ming as her descendant. The words "little aunt" echoed in her mind countless times.
, imprinted in her heart.
At that time, she didn't think much about it, but as time went by and with the appearance of the Frightened Salamander, Zhao Ji suddenly realized a fact, a fact that even she did not dare to face.
It was precisely because of this that even though she had begun to suspect that Yang Ming was probably just cheating on her, she still couldn't get angry, but instead felt a sense of relief.
If everything is false, Zhao Ji will be disappointed, but she will not have any more emotions, such as anger. But what if everything is true?
"Then please punish the Queen Mother." Faced with Zhao Ji's calmness, Yang Ming smiled without any sense of dignity.
At this time, the sunlight was shining on Yang Ming's body, making Zhao Ji feel the temperature of the sun from Yang Ming's body. At this moment, Zhao Ji suddenly had an impulse. She hoped that these were true.
