The strong alcohol entered his throat, and a burning sensation penetrated his stomach.

Jicang's heart seemed to be ignited, and he was unbearably anxious.

He repeatedly thought about Jian Xi's changes before and after, and naturally saw something unusual about Jian Xi.

Jian Xi was able to save the old prince.

It was beyond the scope of his knowledge of Jian Xi.

Then the secret guard lost track of Jian Xi.

What's more, Jian Xi gave him a cold look.

He felt that he had missed something important, but he couldn't grasp the key point.

He really wanted to know what happened in the house that he didn't know about during the years he was at the border.

With the strength of the wine, Jicang put down his chopsticks with a snap.

Then he said to Jian Xi in a cold voice.

"You come with me!"

The tense atmosphere made Butler Qiu excited, and he tried to smooth things over, but Jian Xi stopped him with his eyes.

Jicang is the loyal master of Prince Shengxuan and will not tolerate the rudeness of his servants.

Even if Jian Xi doesn't want to listen to Jicang's words, she can't make their relationship too rigid.

That would run counter to Jian Xi's original intention.

Seeing the two of them entering the inner room, Butler Qiu worriedly said to the old prince.

"Master, you must protect Doctor Jian!"

The old prince blinked his eyes, feeling that there was something in Butler Qiu's words.

Butler Qiu really wants to have a showdown with the old prince directly.

There are three young masters outside!

If the old prince continues to be stupid, he will regret that he will not have anywhere to buy medicine in the future!

Butler Qiu hesitated for a long time, but still didn't say anything.

After all, he is an outsider and cannot participate randomly for fear of doing bad things with good intentions!

In the inner room, Jicang neatly waved his clothes and sat down, his voice was neither cold nor hot.

"Since my grandmother entrusted my grandfather's treatment to you, I will not look into the past. However, if there is anything wrong with my grandfather's body, I will not be lenient!"

Jian Xi sighed.

Based on his understanding of Jicang, this man agreed that she would not harm him.

But expressing it...

she asked Jicang.

"Is this why you called me here?"

Jicang frowned and became a little angry.

"Where are your rules? Didn't you say that there is a difference between master and servant?"

mean!

How many years ago did it happen? Do you still want to talk about it?

Jian Xi acted rogue.

"I regret it, can't I?"

Jicang had never seen such an unreasonable Jian Xi, and he was stunned...

"you..."

Jian Xi snorted coldly and curled her lips.

"After suffering all kinds of grievances, I can't escape death in the end. Why bother?"

Helplessly holding her forehead, Jian Xi was going crazy and wanted to give herself a few blows.

Why don't you have a long memory and start complaining again?

Jicang laughed softly.

die?

Could it be that the person sitting lazily in front of him now and playing rogue to him is a ghost?

absurd!

Jian Xi knew what Jicang was thinking when she saw his expression.

It’s useless to say more, this man won’t believe it even if I say it!

"The old prince can be regarded as my benefactor. Just trust me that I won't harm him."

Seeing Jian Xi's perfunctory attitude of not wanting to talk to her.

Jicang suddenly wanted to be more serious.

"Oh, you should tell me, what kind of injustice have you suffered? Huh?"

Jian Xi followed Jicang's example and laughed, quietly forcing back the sour feeling in her eyes.

"That's right. Since you are interested in listening, I would rather obey your orders respectfully!"

Taking a deep breath, Jian Xi looked at her hands and said.

"Well... it's probably because of my relationship with you. The second lady wanted me to be your marriage partner, but I didn't agree. After that, this matter spread throughout the palace..."

How could the second lady be so simple-minded?

She wants to control Jian Xi, but Jian Xi will naturally refuse...

Jicang, who didn't care at all, was stunned.

Jian Xi continued.

"There are more than one or two girls in the house who admire you? I have become a coquettish girl who seduces you, a bitch trying to climb a high tree. I eat rotten food in the summer and am thrown cold water on you in the winter... A woman's little tricks are not worth mentioning.

No?"

Jian Xi narrowed her eyes and continued speaking, resisting the urge to destroy everything in her heart.

"There is an inner prison in the inner courtyard of the palace where criminal slaves are held and punished. You probably don't know what it's like inside... The stewards are all old ladies who have retired from the palace. They are good at using various methods of torturing women. They were tortured to the point of going crazy.

Otherwise, they will be thrown directly into the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, where they will be eaten alive by the beasts..."

They not only torture the body, but also torture the mind and soul.

Make you despair and make you humble.

Let you do anything to survive...

That is to say, there are no eunuchs in the palace and no men in the inner courtyard.

otherwise...

Jian Xi's voice was very distant, so distant that the past days were far away from her, yet so close at the same time.

"Being locked up in a dark place for a long time, losing time, is like a struggle without an end. But you have to struggle. There are always people who care about you, so you can't even die, you can only grit your teeth and bear it."

Jian Xi raised her head and looked at Jicang.

she says.

"I don't know if this counts as being wronged, let alone why I am telling you this."

After a pause, Jian Xi smiled.

Her smile is as beautiful as the flowers blooming all over the mountain in spring.

"Killing a person is sometimes not just taking his life. I am very glad that I still have a chance to live and have a chance to do it again."

Jian Xi thought that perhaps she had always had such regrets in her heart, and had always wanted to tell someone about the past that she could not let go of.

After all these years, she just hasn't found the right person.

What stimulated Jicang's heart the most, making his heart feel as painful as tearing.

It's not Jian Xi's experience, but Jian Xi's smile.

There are thousands of words in it, which express the sadness and desolation of the world.

The tolerance inside is as broad as the stars and the sea.

In front of Jian Xi, Jicang saw his insignificant self.

The Jian Xi in his eyes was leaving him.

Jicang's pupils shrank suddenly and he stood up suddenly and hugged Jian Xi into his arms.

He said.

"Sorry, I didn't know."

The man's chest felt hot, and the sound of his rapid heartbeat reached Jian Xi's ears.

The strong arms tightened tighter and tighter, seeming to express the pain and urgency in his heart.

Jian Xi's eyes were still red.

She said with a slightly trembling voice.

"But you never wanted to understand, did you?"

If you cared just a little more, wouldn't the outcome be different?

No, there is no if!

Jicang let go of Jian Xi and stared into her eyes.

The coldness, the coldness that made him panic.

No!

If you don't want to give him a chance, why are you telling him this?

Who is the person who makes it impossible for you to die?

Who are you concerned about?

Will it be me?

That’s why you’re telling me this, right?

but...

Is the person who tortures you your mother?

You will never forgive me, right?

what do I do?

In fact, my heart is not big enough to accommodate one person.

I'm just timid, afraid that I will go crazy for you and risk everything for you!

There were thousands of words to say, but Jicang could not utter a word.

The more you care, the more timid you become.

He was afraid of hearing no words from Jian Xi's mouth.

Just like he was once afraid of the truth.

The eager man kissed the woman's lips helplessly, trying to find a trace of warmth that would make him feel at ease.

But he was wrong.

The woman didn't resist, and the coldness spread from between her lips and teeth into the man's heart.

Jicang looked at Jian Xi's red and swollen lips and cold eyes, and weakly put down his hand...
