The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 35 Xiaoxiao Weiyu Wen's Lonely Pavilion (3)
Looking at the table full of dishes in front of her, Jinse really only felt hungry, but she didn't forget her purpose of coming here, so she hurriedly stuffed two crabmeal steamed buns into the mouth, got up and walked to the door.

When she opened the door, she froze suddenly.

Under the eaves in front of the door, there was a man standing with his hands behind his back. He was thin and straight, with a stiff back, which was clearly a familiar appearance to her.

Jinse also forgot to swallow the steamed stuffed bun that was still in her mouth, and just stared blankly at the figure in front of her.

Hearing the sound behind him, Su Li didn't turn his head, but said coldly: "What Miss Song wants to say, please do it as soon as possible."

Jinse was still frozen, she had planned a lot of words, but suddenly she couldn't speak.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Su Li flicked his sleeves slightly, and said calmly, "Then I won't accompany you."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Jinse finally couldn't care less, stepped forward and grabbed his cuff, trembling and whispering: "I'm sorry..."

Su Li's body froze, but then he lightly brushed away Jinse's hand.

"Where is it?" He seemed to sneer and said, "You and I were divorced that day because the husband and wife were not in harmony. The two parties divorced peacefully. Miss Song has never stayed with the king. If Miss Song waited for the king for two days, Just to say this, then please go back."

There were tears in Jinse's eyes, and she was about to fall. Seeing that he was about to leave again, she finally said again: "I know you treat me well, but I failed you, I'm sorry..."

Su Li finally turned around and looked at her for a while, with a hint of ridicule flashing in his eyes, but he didn't know whether he was mocking her or himself: "Today, Miss Song said such words to the king, what exactly is she asking for?" Why, why not just say it directly.”

"I know you don't believe me." Jinse lowered her head and said, "What I said just now has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm asking for today."

"Since I know that the king doesn't believe it, why bother to say it?" Su Li sneered, his dark eyes didn't fluctuate at all.

Jinse was silent, tried her best to hide the tears in her eyes, raised her head to meet his cold gaze, and couldn't help pursing her lips: "In any case, my father has followed the prince for many years, so I invite the prince to remember the old love, don't put it down." My father died."

After saying that, she suddenly took a step back, then bent her knees, and knelt down straight in front of him.

The corners of Su Li's mouth sank slightly, and at that moment, he felt a sudden twitch in his temple, which was a surge of blood.

"Do you know who you are now? A wanted fugitive has the guts to beg me?" He gritted his teeth and sneered.

Jinse hurriedly raised her head: "If the lord is willing to show respect to my father, and Jinse is willing to pay his life for another life, the lord can tie me up to punish the crime, please let my father live."

Su Li's face suddenly became darker, and he said for a long time, "In order to save your father, are you really willing to do anything?"

"Yes." Jinse nodded hurriedly, reached out and grabbed the hem of his robe, "I am willing to do anything, I just ask the Lord to be merciful."

"Okay!" Su Li suddenly took a step back, raised his left leg slightly, raised his hand, and pulled out a dagger from his boot, and it was still in front of Jinse with a bang, "You kill yourself, and I will tell your father, Show mercy."

He bit each word very hard, Jinse stared at the dagger on the ground for a moment, then picked it up, then pulled out the dagger, closed his eyes, and stabbed himself in the heart without hesitation!

At this moment, Su Li suddenly raised his foot and kicked, kicking the dagger in her hand away!

Jinse opened her eyes, startled and angry: "You don't mean what you say!"

However, Su Li suddenly stretched out his hand and picked her up from the ground, as if he couldn't hear her question, he just gritted his teeth and said: "Back then you tried to lose everything, and you also wanted to make peace with me, isn't it just for the sake of two people?" Brother? Since you could abandon your father that day, why do you pretend to be filial piety today, willing to pay with your life? What about the second brother? You have worked so hard just to be with him, and I will let you die, you Why didn't you hesitate at all? Your hesitation, your reluctance? You are not afraid that if you die, he will be sad for you?"

Jinse was almost dumbfounded by his question, and stared at him with wide eyes for a long time before finally muttering: "To me now, nothing is more important than my father's life."

"Really?" Su Li suddenly laughed again, and let go of her wrist, "Then it's a pity, this king doesn't intend to fulfill you."

Jinse froze suddenly: "Then what do you want from me?"

"How?" Su Li sneered, looked at her slightly, and said word by word, "Let time flow back, can you do it?"

Time... flow back?
Jinse stared at him blankly, but finally shed tears.

After a long time, she opened her mouth. She didn't know what she wanted to say, but she blurted out: "I'm sorry..."

The voice was already as hoarse as dust, but the person opposite had already turned to ashes.

No matter how guilty she is, no matter how sorry she is, it will not be able to withstand the passage of time.

Going back to the beginning, it is better not to see.

He doesn't like the three words "I'm sorry", he has never liked it, but from now on, that dislike will turn into disgust.

Regarding Jinse, his teacher once said to him: "If that girl stays by your side all the time, although you like her, but after a long time, you will eventually get bored with her. If you say it, it’s nothing more than a crowd, maybe even that crowd can’t compare. However, she did such a thing to you, so it’s even more difficult to let go if you feel dissatisfied in your heart. If you think about it all day long, You must be confused by love, and you will not live in peace."

He doesn't know the former possibility, because that's what if.

And this latter kind... Now, it is what he hates in his heart.

"Is there anything else to say?" He turned his head lightly and finally stopped looking at her.

Jinse slowly wiped away the tears on her face, heard the words, shook her head slightly, but forgot that he couldn't see at all, just lowered her head, walked past him, and walked slowly towards the gate of the garden.

Su Li's eyes were slightly cold, but they still fell on her back.

When Jinse walked to the gate of the garden, her footsteps stopped suddenly, and she turned her head to look at him again. Before Su Li could look back, both of them were startled, but they both recovered quickly.

"I ask you one more thing, it has nothing to do with my father." Jinse walked towards him again, "I know the Hou Mansion has been sealed off now, I want to go back and get some things, can you allow me?"

"What?" He blurted out after a moment of thought.

Jinse lowered her eyes slightly: "It's something from my childhood, it's not important, I just want to get it back, even if I die in the future, I will always have something to think about."

Seeing that her eyes were clearly still red, but she tried to keep her tone calm, Su Li slightly hooked the corners of her lips, but said: "Ridiculous. Now that Song Hou's criminals are rebelling, all the things in the mansion are just evidence, how can this king allow it?" you?"

Jinse suddenly became anxious, and couldn't help pulling his sleeve in a hurry: "It's really just my childhood thing, it's definitely not a criminal evidence! Besides, Daddy has been following you, how can you be like this..."

Su Li brushed her hand away again, and gave a cold order: "See off the guests."

The housekeeper Lao Hu immediately walked in from outside the garden, and gave Jinse a little blessing: "Young master, please."

Jinse looked at Su Li for a long time, although she was not reconciled, she still lowered her head and said, "So, sorry for the trouble."

She turned around and left Prince Ning's mansion in a daze, walking on the street, still confused and directionless.

There were people coming and going on the street, and Jinse didn't know how long she had been walking, but when she suddenly came back to herself, it was because of a familiar face.

When she realized that she had seen the owner of that face before, that person had already walked past her without turning her eyes. When Jinse turned her head, she saw the woman's back, graceful and charming, although she still couldn't see her face. He remembered who this person was, but knew that he knew him, so he turned around and walked behind her, as if he felt that she could lead him in one direction.

The woman walked through the streets and alleys all the way, and finally stopped in front of an ordinary dwelling, opened the door and walked in.

Jinse was not familiar with this place, so she stood at the entrance of the alley for a long time in a daze before realizing that she was following the wrong person.

When she turned around and wanted to leave, Jinse's mind suddenly flashed, and the woman's face became clear again, it was... Haitang!
She turned around and looked at the folk house again, only then remembered that the former Linglong Pavilion was gone, and the women inside would naturally find another place to go.

However, the rule of Linglong Pavilion is that a woman only serves one official. Since Haitang serves Su Mo, why does she live here now?

She stood there for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the house.

The courtyard door was not closed, and Jinse came to the door in a daze, and looked inside without hiding herself.

It is indeed an ordinary courtyard, but the person half lying on the couch under the shade of flowers in the courtyard is not ordinary.

Haitang was sitting beside the couch, washed and peeled the grapes she had just bought, and handed them to the man's lips.

The man frowned slightly, looking a little tired and bored, but in the end, he still opened his mouth and ate.

Haitang smiled and said something, but still lowered her head and continued peeling the grapes.

Jinse stood there with a pale face, took a deep breath, but her inner thoughts gradually began to churn.

Her eyes are really in the way, she always sees things she shouldn't see, and she must be blind one day before she can find peace.

She was thinking in a daze, and just about to turn around, on the other side, Su Mo suddenly raised his eyes slightly and looked at her.

Seeing this, the frown that was originally slightly frowned suddenly became tighter, but it was relaxed in just a moment, and he got up from the couch.Haitang raised her head in astonishment, followed his gaze, after being slightly startled, she smiled knowingly.

Jinse watched him walking towards her, so naturally she couldn't move anymore, she just waited for him.

Su Mo came to the door, stretched out his hand to pull her closer to him, held her face up again, looked at her carefully, and said in a low voice, "Crying?"

Only then did Jinse remember that she had been in Prince Ning's Mansion for two days. He should know her whereabouts, right?But, why didn't he come to look for her, but why did he still want to rest in this small courtyard?

Her mind became confused again for a moment, she even forgot to answer, and turned around in panic: "I'm going back."

Su Mo held her hand tightly, and replied "Yes", then turned his head and nodded to Haitang who was still in the courtyard, and pulled Jinse away together.

Jinse was a little confused: "Are you going back too?"

Su Mo turned to look at her, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You are back, why don't I go back?"

When Jinse heard this, she couldn't help but feel suffocated. After a moment's pause, she said, "Then... what if I don't come back?"

Su Mo raised his hand and stroked his forehead, just smiled and said nothing.

The arc of Jinse's mouth could not help drooping a little more, she broke free from his hand and walked forward alone.

Su Mo originally came here in a sedan chair, but Jinse walked forward on his own, so the two walked together.

Walking up the street, Jinse was silent all the way, when suddenly she heard sesame candy being sold in front of her, so she finally raised her head and glanced at the stall.

Su Mo watched her rushing forward a few steps, then stopped suddenly, then turned around and walked towards him with her head down, and suddenly smiled.

When Jinse returned to him, before he could speak, he had already put some pieces of silver in his hand.

Jinse squeezed the money, then ran to the stall, bought a large bag of sesame candies, and continued walking while eating.

The two of them walked for more than half an hour before finally returning to the palace. Jinse finally ate up all the sesame candies, and there was a tired sweet smell in his mouth.

When she reached the door, she finally turned around and looked at him.

Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, as if waiting for her to speak.

Jinse smiled at him: "Actually, I know that you don't like me that much. But you did your best to rescue my father. I am very grateful to you. My sister will be very grateful to you when she is under the nine springs. If my father hadn't come out After this matter is over, I will not come back to this capital again. After this matter is resolved, if I die, then it will be fine. And if I can survive by luck, I... will not continue to disturb you."

Su Mo listened quietly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Here, are you eating again?"

"No." Jinse said calmly, "It's not for taste or anger. I'm just expressing my thoughts."

Su Mo lowered his eyes lightly, and stroked her head: "I'll give you another three days, you have to think it over again, and then come and talk to me."

Jinse didn't have the heart to think about it.She only thought about her father and the book full of Zhongli's words that her mother left behind. Very occasionally, she would think of the tired look on Su Mo's face when he was lying under the flower shade shelf.

Therefore, how will the answer three days later be different from what it is now?

However, what she didn't expect was that three days later, everything would indeed be different.

Ning Wangfu.

In the study room, in front of Su Li, there is a book full of Nayi characters spread out quietly. It is easy to see that it is a teaching book, and there are some side comments written in Zanhua lowercase from time to time. and remarks, but they are extremely simple words, just like the kind of children learning.

However, judging from the fact that Qingyue has studied Nayiwen for many years but still has no progress, this book is undoubtedly extremely precious to Qingyue.

This was the day when Jinse came to beg him to allow her to go back to the Hou's mansion to get some things, and he sent someone to search the Hou's mansion again.Such a precious book was randomly placed among Jinse's playthings when he was a child. No wonder it was never found in the previous searches.

Silently turning over the pages of the book, Su Li frowned.

Xiao Du, who was at the side, observed his expressions for a long time, and finally said: "My lord, according to my servant, this book will definitely not be the legendary Chronicles of the World."

Su Li glanced at him coldly.

Xiao Du smiled, and said again: "I just don't know, is the prince planning to put this book away, or find someone to study it?"

After a long pause, Su Li finally said calmly: "Put it away."

"Alright." Xiao Du nodded and said to himself, "If Miss Song is really looking for this book, then she can only come to our palace to look for it in the future."

Su Li's face changed instantly, and he looked at him with a sneer: "I don't think you want your slave's head anymore!"

Xiao Du quickly shrank his neck, and was about to say something when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in." Su Li replied angrily.

The visitor immediately opened the door and entered, but the news he brought was like a bolt from the blue——

"My lord, Song Hou committed suicide in the prison!"

Xiao Du's face changed drastically in an instant, and he looked at Su Li, but as if he hadn't recovered, he hurriedly reminded him: "My lord?"

Su Li still didn't move, but a trace of grayness slowly appeared in his usually dark and deep eyes.

Did... die?

When he hurried to the gate of the dungeon, the guards were slowly carrying Song Jingtao's body wrapped in a straw mat out of the dungeon. Seeing him, they hurriedly put the body on the ground, waiting for his orders.

Su Li didn't speak for a long time, as if he was waiting for something.

Finally, when there was a rush of horseshoes in the distance, he turned his head.

On the back of the horse was the figure he was all too familiar with, riding the horse, rampaging on the street, as if he couldn't find the direction, but finally rushed to this side.

He had thought she would not come.

If Su Mo protected her well, she shouldn't have been allowed to come.

However, Jinse finally came, as if he had exhausted all his strength to rein in the horse and get off the horse.

She didn't cry, and there was peace on her face.

She didn't look at anyone either, she just stared at the straw mat on the ground and walked forward slowly.

Immediately, some guards recognized her, but they all looked at Su Li in panic.

Su Li didn't show any signs, but just looked at Jinse.

Jinse slowly opened the straw mat, and when she saw Song Jingtao's pale face inside, her body trembled heavily, but she still didn't shed tears.

"Father." She called him in a low voice, as if he could still hear her, "Father, my daughter will never make my father angry again. Can father...recognize his daughter?"

Her voice was calm and unwavering, but Su Li slowly squeezed her palm tightly.
