Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 320 I Believe In You
On the day when the feudal lords assembled on Mount Li, people thought that none of the countries that were supposed to be there showed up, and the atmosphere under the watchtower was a bit abnormal.

The State of Wei and the State of Jin are adjacent, and the Marquis of Wei has already arrived, but there has been no movement from the State of Jin; the State of Shen, who is married to the royal family of Zhou, has not come, and the State of Song and Marquis Zan, who have always been friends with the State of Shen, have arrived first; Qihou and Chuhou, who were usually close to the Zhou royal family, began to complain about the Zhou emperor.

Chu Hou looked up at the observation deck, frowned and said, "What do you mean? Why didn't you make it clear? You didn't summon us to go up, and didn't tell us whether to go or stay. What are we doing here?"

Qi Hou sighed: "All the princes are here, it will take at least a month, how long are we going to wait in this icy and snowy place?"

"I expected it to be like this...chaotic...chaotic...the world is going to be chaotic!"

"how do I say this?"

"The emperor is stupid, he doesn't care about state affairs, he only cares about pampering Baosi. He heard that the emperor wanted to win the smile of the demon girl, so he listened to Father Guo Shi's bad idea and lit the beacon fire..."

While Chuhou and Qihou were discussing, a voice suddenly interrupted:

"Hearsay, gossip to confuse the crowd, you two are so courageous!"

Marquis Qi and Marquis Chu followed the prestige, and saw a gentleman in brocade clothes riding a horse, it was Baoguo's son - Bao Hongde.

Faced with a young man's scolding, Chu Hou didn't say much, but just laughed a few times.Having said that just now, he knows that although Baosi is temporarily unknown, but one day he will flourish in the palace, and may even take the place of Queen Shen Jiang Ling.

While the princes were whispering, someone on the watchtower suddenly shouted:

"Assassins! There are assassins!"

In the astonished eyes of the princes, more than 20 guards with guns rushed up to the watchtower, the steps were shoulder to shoulder, and they were already in a mess!
Suddenly, a red light flashed!
Yang Ni leaned over and ran towards Ji Gongyan, and the red light scattered with a punch!

Whoosh!
Another ray of red light suddenly appeared, heading straight for Baosi!

Bao Si left the Guqin with both hands, and leaned her waist back, the strings in front of her snapped, making a clang!
"Everyone be careful! Protect the emperor!"

There were shouts from the observation deck, and a red light suddenly appeared, but no one saw the elusive assassin.

Bao Si frowned slightly, her eyes were calm, if she were a mortal woman, she would definitely be scared out of her wits right now.

Wei Hou was so frightened that he curled up in the corner, and couldn't help feeling puzzled, seeing that Ji Gongyan had no expression on his face, and he didn't seem to worry about Bao Si at all.

The guards were flustered, dripping with sweat, all raised their weapons and stabbed wildly, but there was no shadow of the assassin in sight.

At this time, a gap was opened out of thin air, and a person walked out slowly.

After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, everyone's expressions were indescribably complicated.

"My lord... the empress?" Wei Hou asked in amazement.

Jiang Ling was holding a red lotus umbrella, and his whole body was full of murderous aura. When he approached, the guards all avoided him.

Yang Ni stood in front of Ji Gongxuan from the beginning to the end, and did not let down his vigilance at all. The queen in front of him was obviously not a good person.

Guo Han felt that something was wrong, so he secretly let the tiger-tailed spirit snake out of his cuff and let it climb down the observation deck...

"Why are you here?" Ji Gongyan asked calmly.

Jiang Ling answered two words lukewarmly: "Looking for you."

Ji Gongyan noticed that Jiang Ling used "you" instead of "Jun Shang" in address.This reminded him of the time when the two of them peeped at Yuxu Palace together in Kunlun Mountain.At that time, Ji Gongzhen was just a child, and six years later, he is now half a head taller than Jiang Ling.

Ji Gongzhen waved his hand and ordered: "You all stand down, I want to talk to the queen alone."

Father Guo Shi said anxiously: "But Your Majesty..."

"Get out!"

Everyone looked at each other, then slowly retreated down the steps, watching from a distance, always ready to wait for an opportunity.

Facing Jiang Ling, Ji Gongyan said with emotion: "If I remember correctly, this is the first time you have come to me on your own initiative. I have waited for this day for six years, but I never thought that you would want my life as soon as you came."

"I wanted to do this at first, but now, I've changed my mind."

"Why?"

"Because I know that you and Baosi are not like what the princes said...why? Why didn't you explain clearly to those princes?"

"It's been explained."

"Do you think those princes can be convinced by just the words 'the soldiers have retreated'?"

"People always only believe what they want to believe. It is useless to say more."

"I can help you like before, as long as you still believe in me."

"Believe you?" Ji Gongyan smiled bitterly: "How do you want me to believe you? I have believed in you all the time these years, I believe in every word you say, I believe that everything you do is for my country, I believe that you will always Won't lie to me, but now... I will never trust you again..."

"why?"

"Because you lied to me! You knew that I was a pure yin body, but you kept telling me that Prince Yijiu is not my child at all!"

Jiang Ling took a weak step back, his heart sank suddenly.

Ji Gongzhen pointed to the various princes under the watchtower, and said to Jiang Ling: "Look! Look at everyone and every face below. After they leave here today, they will come back one day to replace me and become the next one." King Wu who overthrew Zhou'! After a hundred years, I will have no heirs, the world will change hands, and the country will no longer belong to the Zhou family. Instead of being a wise ruler and making wedding dresses for others, I should hand over to the right person now .”

Jiang Ling retreated step by step, and said in a low voice, "Who told you these words? Yang Ni? Baosi? Or..."

Ji Gongwen pressed her step by step, and said with hatred: "No one needs to tell me! Do you think that this kind of thing can be fooled for a while, and you can keep it from me forever? That's right, I'm a fool. I knew it from the beginning, you know it in your heart Never me, never! Every day you stay by my side, there is only pain, only forbearance, I just want that person to replace me one day!"

When talking about "that person", Ji Gongyan pointed to Su Ji in the distance!

Jiang Ling stood firm, clenched his fists and said, "Yes, I did lie to you, but things are not what you think. Everything I do is for you, for the people of the world. I, Jiang Ling, have never done anything I've ever been sorry for you, never!"

Ji Gongyan looked up to the sky and laughed out loud, and said with a bitter smile: "Unexpectedly, at this time, you can still refuse to admit it. This is not like you."

Jiang Ling knew that Ji Gongyan would not believe him.After hesitating for a while, she finally decided to tell the secret, and said in a deep voice, "Actually, Yijiu is..."

"Forget it..." Ji Gongyan shook his head, "Let's go!"

"Where?"

"Go where you want to go, do what you want to do, find who you want to find. In short, I don't want to see you again!"

Yang Ni rushed up the steps, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty! Jiang Ling deliberately assassinated, the crime is unforgivable, we cannot let her go!"

Father Guo Shi said: "The princes are gathered today, if the king lets her go, I'm afraid she will become the laughing stock of the world!"

Ji Gongzhen lowered her head and remained silent for a while, before uttering five words slowly: "...don't make her suffer."

"I will understand at the end!"

Yang Ni understood, his fists glowed with thunder, and he rushed towards Jiang Ling!

Jiang Ling was at a loss, and suddenly came back to his senses. Before he could react, he saw an ax flying through the air!
Yang Ni turned pale with shock, and hastily withdrew his fists, but was forced to take three steps back by the axe!

Niu Zhu caught the mountain ax with one hand and stood in front of Jiang Ling!
"Senior sister, I'm here!"

Jiang Ling raised his head slowly, his eyes were astonished, as if he was asking why are you here?

Guo Han next to him smiled slightly, quietly retracted the tiger-tailed spirit snake, and exchanged a look with Niu Zhu.

Father Guo Shi took a step forward and shouted: "Niu surname! As the head of the state religion, you dare to shield sinners, what should you do?"

Niu Zhu waved his hand, "I don't care about the national religion! With me here today, no one will even think of making a fool of my senior sister!"

Looking at Niu Zhu who stepped forward, Jiang Ling said lonely: "I'm just a frivolous woman, so you don't have to sacrifice so much for me."

Niu Zhu turned his back to Jiang Ling and said without hesitation: "Senior sister, I know you have difficulties. If you don't want to say something, you don't want to say it. I will listen when you want to say it. One day the misunderstanding will be cleared up, and everyone will believe you."

Jiang Ling laughed at himself, "Only idiots will believe my words."

Niu Zhu said firmly: "I believe it!"
