Yan Yiming looked at Jiang Yi's face which was still smiling. The sudden coldness and paranoia just now seemed like a momentary illusion. At this moment, he was still the handsome and elegant young man.
But Yan Yiming knew that the unreasonable fear he felt just now was definitely not something Jiang Yi pretended to scare him.
Maybe in the end Jiang Yi took back all his emotions and suppressed them all in his heart once again, but these could not cover up the fact that he was angry.
Yan Yiming was wrapped in a quilt, with the scars on his neck still left by Jiang Yi. After everything was clear and calm, his skin was aching slightly. She really had no intention of resisting. If Jiang Yi wanted, then he could give it to her. But later, it was Jiang Yi who helped her tidy up her clothes, as gentle as always, and then left.
Little Apple timidly asked her why Jiang Yi suddenly braked. Yan Yiming touched the still painful spot on her neck. She also asked the same question before Jiang Yi left. Jiang Yi tucked her in and smiled, "Because it's inappropriate."
Whether it was the wrong time or the wrong place, Yan Yiming did not ask any more questions.
Jiang Yi walked out of the house. The cold wind of winter gradually woke up his drowsy thoughts. After a long time, he showed a bitter and self-deprecating smile.
Nothing was right, neither the time nor the place, nor Yan Yiming's wishes.
He remembered that Yan Yiming once explained to him that her relationship with Jian Yuyan was just a way of life and she did not have any feelings for him. And how was her indulgence and compromise just now better than Jian Yuyan's for him?
It was just a compensation I wanted to offer because I felt guilty about him, but what he wanted was never something so simple.
If she really continued, in her heart, what would be the difference between him and Jian Yuyan.
So he suppressed all his anger, or lust, and stood in the early winter air, feeling the cold wind, a little embarrassed.
I feel extremely miserable.
In fact, Ah Ming always reveals a lot of things inadvertently, but even she herself has never noticed. He asked her if her love could compare to the life and death she shared with Shao Jingyu, and she said it couldn't. She said that at the moment General Yan died, she no longer trusted Shao Jingyu.
So if Shao Jingyu hadn't taken this wrong step out of his selfishness, in her heart, the four ordinary years they spent as teenagers were indeed not as good as the three years of comradeship with Shao Jingyu.
Just as he had guessed, Shao Jingyu was not someone that Yan Yiming could compare to Nangong Xuanjian Yuyan.
He did not lie to Yan Yiming. He was really jealous and really angry, but he hid it all in the end.
He has the real bargaining chip that is enough to threaten Yan Yiming. She knows what she is most worried and afraid of, but she has not yet revealed the truth. Until the last moment, until the situation is beyond redemption, he still wants her to stay for him willingly, rather than forcing her.
He was a man who never suffered any loss, but when facing Yan Yiming, he always endured and tolerated her, and was infinitely tolerant and gentle to her, just to let her know how much he loved her without limits.
People always have feelings and are always moved, aren't they?
As for Shao Jingyu, he was the one who chose to strangle the young seedling that Yan Yiming trusted in the soil, so naturally there was no chance of the dead tree coming back to life.
The night wind blew by, and Jiang Yi turned around to look at the light still on in Yan Yiming's room. Then he seemed to sense a bit of coldness, and he shuddered slightly, chuckled, and left.
Inside the room, Yan Yiming heard Xiaopingguo say that Jiang Yi had finally left, then he pulled the quilt tighter and lay back down.
The night passed in the blink of an eye.
The next day, the maid helped Yan Yiming to dress up as usual. Yan Yiming suddenly remembered that Jiang Yi asked her yesterday where the maid hid to eavesdrop after she went out.
Xiao Pingguo also said that she did keep an eye on the window sill, watching what was going on inside, and then looking for an opportunity to tell Shao Jingyu.
Shao Jingyu sent people to keep an eye on her, especially her relationship with Jiang Yi. At first Yan Yiming would have thought that Shao Jingyu was worried about him, but after Jiang Yi came, Yan Yiming was able to confirm that Shao Jingyu must have discovered something, and thus suspected or was certain that she was the original Yan Yiming.
Yan Yiming thought about what traces were left behind during these days, and later felt that the problem lay with the prince.
This time she did not have any contact with Shao Jingyu. Apart from Jiang Yi, the people she had the most contact with were only the prince. In order to save her life along the way, she did reveal many flaws in front of Nangong Xuan. Nangong Xuan would not know, but Shao Jingyu might not.
Yan Yiming found an opportunity and pretended to meet Nangong Xuan by chance. When the two were drinking tea and chatting, Yan Yiming asked him indirectly whether Shao Jingyu had ever asked about anything related to her.
Nangong Xuan now had mixed feelings when looking at Yan Yiming, and finally realized that he might have some unusual feelings for her, but he had already promised not to marry another wife after the Crown Princess died. As for the concubine, how could Yan Yiming give up Jiang Yi, whom he had finally impressed, for a concubine.
Nangong Xuan thought that out of sight, out of mind, but when he saw Yan Yiming, he thought it was better to see him. It was also quite pleasant to just sit there and chat. But for some reason, Yan Yiming asked about Shao Jingyu again.
Yan Yiming answered naturally, revealing a bit of confusion, "I don't know why, but I always feel that General Shao has some indescribable hostility towards me. I really don't understand, so I want to ask Your Highness."
"Is this true?" Nangong Xuan was surprised. "When Shao Qing and I mentioned you, Princess, you were clearly praised."
Yan Yiming pretended not to believe it and sneered, "General Shao called me a traitor the first time he saw me, so how could he praise me?"
"You saved my life, so I will not let you be misunderstood. A few days ago, when I was chatting with Shao Qing, I mentioned how smart you were along the way, and Shao Qing was also very surprised."
Yan Yiming's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face could no longer be maintained. "So Your Highness thinks so highly of me."
"I'm not being arrogant," Nangong Xuan sighed, "I heard that you were raised as a man by King Jiangxia's side. No wonder you are so skilled in kung fu and riding, not to mention that you can make such a detailed route based on the terrain. Shao Qing was also impressed after hearing this, and said that your ability reminded him of the Marquis Yiyong who went on the expedition with him."
Yan Yiming wanted to pour the entire cup of tea on Nangong Xuan's face.
She had fought so hard to save the person, but he was trying his best to sabotage her.
He also looked like he was saying, "You should be honored that I praised you like this."
It is no wonder that Shao Jingyu would be suspicious. Some habits brought back from the present world cannot be changed even after so many years, so Shao Jingyu accidentally discovered the clues.
But according to Shao Jingyu's personality and explosive action, even if she owed him a lot in the past, once confirmed, he would confront her directly and choose the most straightforward way to solve the problem once and for all.
And now Shao Jingyu still remains silent and only orders people to monitor or investigate himself, so it can only be said that he is still in doubt, not certain.
So there is still a chance to save everything. Shao Jingyu can confirm that she is the original Yan Yiming through certain details, but he can also doubt whether she is Yan Yiming because of some differences.
First of all, compared to the cold and taciturn General Yan in the past, the current Princess Lin'an is a little too lively. Even with an injured leg, she can still jump around. After thinking it over, Yan Yiming turned around and prepared to leave. Nangong Xuan stood up and wanted to keep her to talk for a while, but when he lowered his head, he found an ambiguous mark on her white neck.
Nangong Xuan's hand trembled suddenly, and he looked again carefully, only to find that not only the back of his neck, but even such a private and delicate place as behind his ears, had unsightly red marks.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had experienced a lot of worldly things, could tell what those things were at a glance. For a moment, all the paintings were stuck in his mouth. Yan Yiming said goodbye to him and left. This time Nangong Xuan did not keep him any longer.
Only then did he remember that his spies had reported that Jiang Yi would have dinner with Yan Yiming every day, and sometimes they would even stay until the middle of the night. It was normal for something to happen when a man and a woman were alone in the same room for such a long time. He also knew that she was very fond of Jiang Yi, so why did she feel so sad now that she didn't know how to resolve the issue?
Jian Yuyan lives with his wife Jian Yuer. Nangong Xuan originally wanted to find Jian Yuyan to talk to him about his true feelings, but when he remembered that Jian Yuer was there, he was afraid of embarrassment and gave up the idea. At this moment, he didn't want to see Jiang Yi again, so he could only complain to Shao Jingyu, with whom he had a good relationship, after finishing his business.
Shao Jingyu was happy to listen to Nangong Xuan telling him other secrets of Princess Lin'an, but he found that there was no new topic after listening for a long time. He suddenly lost interest and was about to find an excuse to leave when Nangong Xuan said dimly, "I thought Jiang Yi was a gentleman, but I didn't expect..."
Shao Jingyu's heartbeat paused and he clenched his fists, "What happened to Lord Jiang?"
"They haven't even gotten married yet," Nangong Xuan answered irrelevantly, "You just can't bear it. I really, really overestimate him..."
The maid told him every day that Jiang Yi went to look for Princess Lin'an, but never stayed overnight. Shao Jingyu had more breathing room then. But now the prince's ambiguous words directly shattered some of his thoughts.
Shao Jingyu took a deep breath but did not show it in front of the prince. When he passed by the back garden, he actually saw Yun Xiao playing chess with Princess Lin'an, who was bored.
Just when he couldn't find a chance to see her, the opportunity came unexpectedly. Shao Jingyu walked over without thinking too much, looked down, and saw just a few chess pieces. It was not Go at all but Gobang.
At first, Yan Yiming disliked the game of Go because it was brain-consuming and time-consuming, so he taught them the very simple game of Gobang. When they had nothing to do, they could just draw a chessboard on the ground and find a few stones to play for a while. At that time, soldiers playing Gobang could be seen everywhere in the military camp, sitting or squatting.
Shao Jingyu's heart suddenly started beating fast. He didn't expect that Princess Lin'an would also play like this.
But before he could even think of forming an idea, Yun Xiao shouted, "I won again." Yan Yiming frowned in distress and said, "I just learned it. I will definitely be better than you in a few days."
Yun Xiao didn't care at all and laughed for a long time. Then he noticed Shao Jingyu standing two steps away. He immediately stood up and called out "General". Yan Yiming pretended to be surprised and looked at him from the side. Then he also said with surprise on his face,
"Ah, General!"
