I don't know how long it took, but when she came to her senses again, there was no one around the rockery. She brushed aside the green vines hanging from the pavilion and rushed towards the imperial study.
She had to confirm, this kind of guessing life was too uncomfortable!
After leaving the imperial garden, walking through the long palace alley, turning several verandahs, and finally arriving at the imperial study room, she pushed the door open without waiting for the eunuch to announce, "I have something to do..."
The rest of what she said was swallowed back in time when she saw Pei Zheng. She was so annoyed that she was so excited that she forgot that Pei Zheng was also in the imperial study at this time.
Of course, you can't talk about this kind of thing in front of outsiders. You have to make up some excuse to fool it first, and then look for another opportunity.
While thinking about it, Pei Zheng's eyes lit up and he said happily: "You came just in time. Your second brother has something to tell you."
"Huh?" Jiao Jiao blinked, feeling that there was something strange about this statement.
She looked at Ji Yun doubtfully and saw that he pursed his lips and looked extremely embarrassed, as if he didn't want to say anything.
Then I heard Pei Zheng say anxiously: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. The Funan army has already set off, and Xirong is also ready to go. They are close to Kuocang Mountain and should arrive first."
Jiao Jiao became more and more confused. Shouldn't troops be sent to stop the armies of the two countries in this situation? How could it be that what Pei Zheng said could be solved by what Ji Yun told her?
Pei Zheng did not explain her doubts. After speaking, he bowed directly and left: "Your Majesty and Princess, please leave first."
When he walked to the door, he even directly ordered the leader of the chamberlain: "Eunuch, Your Majesty and the princess have important matters to discuss. Please lead the people to retreat further and watch the palace door. No one is allowed to disturb."
Jiao Jiao was shocked: "Is this considered a false edict?"
It’s still the face-to-face kind!
Ji Yun rubbed his eyebrows: "He trusts me and treats me as a brother."
He let out a long breath, walked over and pulled Jiao Jiao to a soft position, sat down, considered it for a moment, and asked softly: "Jiao Jiao, do you know why your title is Zhao Yue?"
Jiao Jiao shook her head. When she first learned about it, she just thought it sounded nice. At first glance, she thought the word Yue was the moon. The bright moon matched her nickname quite well.
But looking at his expression at this time, it was obvious that he didn't come up with this title just to sound good.
Ji Yun pursed his lips and said with difficulty: "Do you remember Princess Xiyue in history? Actually..."
Xiyue, Zhaoyue?
Jiao Jiao was excited and asked in a loud voice: "Am I the reincarnation of Princess Xi Yue?"
Ji Yun's throat tightened and he struggled to spit out: "Yes."
She froze on the spot, the midday sun shining through the window paper, illuminating the room brightly, but she lost her vision in an instant, and everything she could see was blank.
After a long while, she let out a sigh, her tone flat, with no hint of emotion or joy: "It turns out that unlucky guy is me."
"Jiao Jiao..." Ji Yun's eyes were filled with distress, and he held her hand tightly, his voice was low and gentle, "It won't happen anymore. As long as you get rid of the Imperial Master, you can be like this in every life in the future. , grow up happily."
She blinked her eyes and murmured her thoughts: "Princess Xiyue should have reported to the Imperial Master after she was born, and then been locked in a splendid cage, but I didn't, and you carry the memories of your previous life, so it's you What did you do, right?”
Ji Yun nodded solemnly.
For a moment, she beamed: "So, the person who is out of reach in your heart is me."
Originally he was jumping for joy, but there was a slight tremor in his voice after he said it, and his beautiful almond-shaped eyes were gradually filled with water vapor: "It's because of me that you are tortured by Yin Qi. The female ghost came to you because of me. You have been waiting alone by the River Styx for a hundred years. It's also because of me that everything is..."
She couldn't speak any more, and her tears fell like broken beads.
A warm current flowed through Ji Yun's heart. He was naturally happy when his efforts were seen, but he didn't want her to feel guilty.
He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face. His voice was as soft as spring flowers in March: "You are so kind, the world should not treat you like this. There is no need to feel guilty, just remember that I am willing to do it for you!"
Jiao Jiao's tears flowed more and more fiercely. She couldn't bear it anymore. She threw herself into Ji Yun's arms, hugged him tightly, and choked with sobs: "How can you be so good?"
Then, she felt a pair of strong arms embrace her, as if to separate her from the violent storm into a paradise.
She pressed her head tightly against his lean chest, listening to his firm and powerful heartbeat, and suddenly discovered that this warm embrace was actually unprecedentedly warm, better than anything in the world.
A warm breath came out slowly from the top of his head: "As long as you smile like a flower, everything I do will be worth it."
Her bright eyes were hot, and tears burst out again, soaking Ji Yun's clothes. She closed her eyes, tears were still flowing freely, and her muffled voice revealed the despair of death: "What should I do, I don't want to let you go. .”
Her voice was so soft that it was almost a whisper, with a crying tone, and it was so vague that Ji Yun didn't hear it clearly.
At this moment, he was happy and distressed.
She was not as afraid of the predetermined fate as he feared, and she also liked him. He was not wishful thinking.
He exhaled slowly, placed his chin gently on top of her head, rubbed her soothingly, and said gently, "Be good, don't be afraid."
The head in his arms moved, and he slowly raised his head. The smart almond eyes were filled with mist, and they were dancing and blurred.
She blinked her eyes and crushed the tears in her eyes. His face was clearly reflected in it, as well as the distress and tenderness that almost overflowed.
The soft fingertips slowly moved up, tracing his lips, nose, eyes...
Suddenly he said: "Can I change my wish for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Ji Yun's eyebrows moved slightly, and Xuan Er chuckled, "Why change, just make another wish. Even if you have ten or a hundred wishes, I will definitely help you realize them."
Her clear eyes were moist again, her pink lips trembled slightly, and her words rolled down with tears.
"In the next life, forget me..."
Ji Yun's smile froze on his lips, "...what?"
"If you forget me...in the next life, you must enter...the pool of rebirth."
Ji Yun's eyes stung, and he whispered hoarsely: "Ah Yue."
"You can't lose your soul, you can't..."
She sniffed, tried hard to stop choking, and analyzed: "Your yin energy is not innate. The longer you stay in the world, the more it will dissipate. If you live to be seven or eighty years old, even if your soul is weaker, it will be enough to survive the pool of the past life." , after a few reincarnations, you can slowly recover."
Ji Yun opened his mouth, but his throat was sore and he couldn't speak.
He thought of her saying "But I won't have you in the next life" at the Sword-making Villa. He saw fear in her eyes for the first time. It was also at that moment that he saw the whole world in her eyes.
In her world, there is only him.
How could he annihilate the only light in her world?
As long as he wanted those eyes, no matter how long the wait or the painful journey, he could persevere.
