Yan Yiming looked at Jiang Yi's gentle smile and thought of his unconscious response just now. His scalp tingled for a moment and he wanted to run away. However, when he met Jiang Yi's gaze, Yan Yiming suddenly realized that he could not escape the consequences.
Because Jiang Yi was not testing her, but had already confirmed her identity. As long as she was still the Princess of Lin'an, as long as she was still in the capital, they would always meet.
Yan Yiming couldn't figure out what went wrong. He just felt that Jiang Yi was really hard to guard against. She once thought she was about to be discovered, but Jiang Yi deliberately distanced himself from her to make her think that she was overthinking. Just when she thought she was safe, he revealed all her secrets.
But despite this, Yan Yiming still decided to try his luck before dying. He quickly adjusted his expression and pretended to be surprised, "Oh, what a fate, I can meet Master Jiang in this poor and desolate forest!"
Young Master Jiang cast a playful gaze on her face and said with a smile, "Yes, it's a good fate."
"Hahaha", never playing by the rules, Yan Yiming laughed dryly, "Just kidding, Mr. Jiang, are you coming to see the maple leaves too?"
"No," Jiang Yi walked over and sat on the stone bench next to him, looking at Yan Yiming, shaking his head as if to say, "You can do whatever you want." "I'm here to see someone."
Yan Yiming: “…”
After not seeing Xiao Jiang for a few years, he was still as straight as ever. Yan Yiming felt desperately that the vest on his body was abandoning him with a wild laugh. Thinking of Jiang Yi, who was actually black when he was cut open, he really didn't dare to know how he would deal with him. He stood up with his legs twitched and smiled very hypocritically, "Mr. Jiang has an appointment, so I won't disturb you..."
Jiang Yi did not stop her, but sat there motionless, and then said lightly, "If you dare to leave, I will tell the prince that Princess Lin'an is the Crown Princess he has been thinking about day and night."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Yiming's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
Jiang Yi smiled, his beautiful eyes narrowed, and he looked especially harmless and kind. He stood up, walked slowly over to squat beside Yan Yiming who was curled up in a ball, turned his head to look at her and said with a smile, "It's time to play with me. Have you had enough?"
Yan Yiming: “…That’s enough.”
"Then we'll talk slowly when we get back." Jiang Yi took her hand and stood up, supporting her as naturally as before, and said, "Do you still feel dizzy when you stand up now?"
Yan Yiming was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what this meant.
When she was still the daughter of the Jiang family, she was too weak and suffered from severe anemia. Whenever she sat or squatted, she would always see a gray and black patch in front of her eyes and even could not stand steadily when she stood up. Since Jiang Yi discovered this, he would always hold her steadily as soon as she stood up.
Yan Yiming lowered his eyes and took his hand away from Jiang Yi's palm and said, "I don't know how to do it anymore. Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Yi's eyes fell on her cheek. Although her facial features were completely different, she now had an expression that he was familiar with. However, her words had a strangeness that he didn't like.
He looked at her calmly and said softly, "There's no need to thank me between you and me."
Yan Yiming looked up at him without saying a word.
"Besides, I like you to call me Shaojun."
Yan Yiming looked at him for a long time, finally sighed, buried his face in his arms, and was a little overwhelmed, "How could you recognize me when I'm like this..."
I have always taught you to be a materialistic atheist. How can you believe such an absurd thing?
"Since you appeared in front of me, how could I not recognize you?" Jiang Yi smiled and said slightly mischievously, "You deliberately led me to investigate you and Jian Yuyan. You trust me so much. Aren't you actively wanting me to recognize you?"
"Of course not," Yan Yiming exclaimed. After that, he realized that his tone seemed to be asking for trouble. He coughed twice and said, "I just think that only you can discover the secret."
"Jian Yuyan's secret?" Perhaps because Yan Yiming's last words made him feel a little better, Jiang Yi raised the corners of his lips, "But I don't want to know his secret, I only want to know your secret."
Yan Yiming immediately shut his mouth again.
"I watched you leave me with my own eyes, and now you have reappeared here in a different skin and identity. You told me not to believe in ghosts and gods in this world, but why have you come back to life now, and why are you the Crown Princess?"
Jiang Yi's tone was no longer as gentle and indulgent as it was at the beginning. It became somewhat unfathomable and a bit uncontrollable madness. Yan Yiming's scalp began to tingle again.
Jiang Yi will never forget the moment when he returned to the Jiang residence with great joy, ready to welcome the person he loved most, but what he was greeted with was blinding white. He buried her in the ground with his own hands. He recalled what the fortune teller had said to Mrs. Jiang in order to prevent Yan Yiming from marrying someone else. All those things that had happened back then had now come true on him.
He lived with grief and regret for seven years, until now, Jiang Yi suddenly found that everything seemed not as simple as it was at the beginning. Was that day that made him regret his whole life destiny, or was it her intentional act?
Jiang Yi's eyes turned red. He wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to.
Jiang Yi never asked whether those four years were just a period of time when she played games, whether that day was a coincidence, and whether he was just a passer-by like the prince in her heart.
Looking at the reddened eyes of the man who always smiled calmly, and gradually reunited with the boy who once hugged her and acted coquettishly and clung to her and played with her, Yan Yiming hesitated for a moment, wanting to take out a handkerchief from his sleeve and give it to her, but found that he didn't bring any handkerchief with him at all.
Yan Yiming withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly, "Um...Mr. Jiang..."
Jiang Yi raised his eyes and squinted at her. Yan Yiming was startled and changed his words, "Young Master!"
"Yeah," Jiang Yi responded.
This frivolous and arrogant look is exactly the same as when he was a teenager. Yan Yiming thought to himself that he was still a little timid and didn't dare to say it out loud. After a while, he said seriously,
"The Crown Princess is me. Ah Ming who was with you back then was also me. Of course, I am still the current Princess Lin'an, but I can't tell you why." Yan Yiming took a breath and organized his words. "I didn't expect you to find out, just like I didn't expect that I would come back here."
"I won't go back here." Jiang Yi's eyes moved slightly, "Then where will I go back to?"
Yan Yiming took a breath of cold air. Talking to Jiang Yi was simply a test of his heart. He would be caught by Jiang Yi if he wasn't careful.
"I can't tell you this," Yan Yiming could only say, "I won't tell you."
Jiang Yi actually didn't expect Yan Yiming to tell him the truth. Maybe the fox fairy had her own reasons. Besides, what he said just now was not in vain.
"I won't force you if you don't tell me, but there is one thing I must know."
As long as she didn't ask why or what she wanted to do, Yan Yiming promised to tell her everything. He nodded when he heard it.
Jiang Yi put away his smile, stared at him closely and said word by word, "I want to know, besides me and the prince, is there anyone else?"
Yan Yiming: “!!!”
She actually forgot about this, how could she dare to say there was more! And there is more than one.
Just as he was about to make an expression, Jiang Yi's slightly gloomy voice reached his eardrums again.
"Don't lie to me. If I can find one, I'll find the second one."
Yan Yiming: “…”
Yan Yiming shrank her shoulders. Considering Jiang Yi's IQ, she backed down.
Jiang Yi understood what was going on and was furious. Unable to bear it any longer, he pulled the man over and bit him hard. Yan Yiming covered his bitten neck with one hand and didn't dare to say a word.
Jiang Yi stroked the red marks on her fair skin with his fingers and whispered in her ear, "After today, you must hide your identity and don't let anyone recognize you."
It’s enough that I’ve been recognized by you. There won’t be a second one. Yan Yiming guarantees that there won’t be a second one.
Jiang Yi was satisfied, and rubbed his cheek against her neck affectionately, and said as if he remembered something, "It's a good thing you didn't really marry the prince, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Yiming understood what Jiang Yi meant, and suddenly thought of Jian Yuyan, with whom he had rolled in bed.
After staring at Xiaopingguo for a while, they both looked away. Oh God, please take back your magical power. If she was discovered, she would really be in danger of saving Jian Yuyan's life.
Jiang Yi was smart enough not to ask questions that he shouldn't ask, and never made the atmosphere between the two of them irreconcilable. Even Yan Yiming didn't expect that after being exposed by Jiang Yi, the two of them could still sit together and chat and drink tea in peace.
Jiang Yi had already sorted out most of the matter between Prime Minister Jian and King Jiangxia. Listening to Jiang Yi's clear reasoning, Yan Yiming felt that Jiang Yi was truly terrifying as he could guess so accurately based on mere speculation.
Jiang Yi only asked her one thing, he asked her what Jian Yuyan's true identity was.
Yan Yiming looked around, dipped his hand in tea and wrote a few words on the stone table.
"As expected," Jiang Yi was not surprised. Prime Minister Jian concealed Jian Yuyan's identity to such an extent, and also implicated Marquis Dingbei in connection with the previous dynasty. He had guessed Jian Yuyan's identity to be almost certain.
With Jiang Yi's help, Yan Yiming felt that the time for Prime Minister Jian to be arrested and Nangong Xuan to successfully ascend the throne was getting closer and closer, and the distance to returning home was getting shorter and shorter. Thinking in this way, he felt that being discovered didn't seem to have much of an impact.
No matter how amazing Jiang Yi is, he won't find out that her real purpose is to go home. As long as she can hide her real purpose from Jiang Yi...
Everything is negotiable.
