As expected, Jian Yuyan had noticed something and was clearly waiting for her to confront him face to face.
It’s annoying. Very annoying.
This is a true psychological portrayal of Yan Yiming.
Since coming to this system, Yan Yiming has deeply understood a truth: one must leave a way out for everything, so as to avoid suffering in the future because of the original decisiveness.
I once thought that I could return to the real world after completing the strategy, but I didn't expect it to be a new test. I thought I could just leave, but I left too many clues for Jiang Yi to recognize.
He left too hastily this time and thought he could escape safely, but he was caught by Shao Jingyu again. Now he has to face Jian Yuyan.
Yan Yiming grinned hard, revealing a not-so-pretty smile, "Mr. Jian, how are you?"
"I hope you are well," Jian Yuyan said expressionlessly, but his eyes were fixed on Yan Yiming's face, finally falling on the small red mole at the corner of her right eye.
He had never understood this woman from the beginning.
At the beginning, she took the initiative to find her and wanted to cooperate with him. Jian Yuyan only regarded her as the eyes and ears of King Jiangxia, just to prevent Jian from turning against him. The ultimate goal was the same as Jian Xiang's, which was to overthrow the royal family.
But later she betrayed King Jiangxia and fled with the prince, disregarding her own life.
Since then, Jian Yuyan understood a lot of things. It turned out that it was her arrangement for him to receive the letter from A Ming. It was also her plan for A Ming's instigation for him to rebel in the letter. She deliberately let him leak the news and deliberately used his hand to destroy everything planned by Prime Minister Jian and King Jiangxia.
So from the very beginning, she approached him in order to overthrow Prime Minister Jian and King Jiangxia.
She is obviously the most favored daughter of King Jiangxia, but now she is the culprit who has pushed Jiangxi to a dead end. Jian Yuyan can't understand why she is doing this, for the prince? So you betrayed your family, so you are willing to give up your own life?
But Jian Yuyan clearly remembered that she had told him that there were many things in this world that were more important than love.
He couldn't figure out everything, but the most important thing now was not to figure it out, but to find out the whereabouts of A Ming.
How did she know Ah Ming's appearance, and why did she have Ah Ming's letter? Jian Yuyan looked at Yan Yiming and asked her, "Where is Ah Ming?"
If Yan Yiming was a little worried before, he was no longer worried after Jian Yuyan asked this question.
Yan Yiming breathed a sigh of relief silently. It was all because Jiang Yi had seen through her identity so quickly before, which left her with some trauma until now. So she preconceived that Jian Yuyan had also recognized her.
But the facts have proved that Jian Yuyan is not Jiang Yi. She is not as careful and smart as Jiang Yi, nor as bold and imaginative as him. When Jian Yuyan asked her where A Ming was, it meant that Jian Yuyan thought she had hidden A Ming, rather than suspecting that she was A Ming.
Yan Yiming's heart stopped beating and his face turned pale. He just let Jian Yuyan look at him openly, without a single clue on his face. He said, "I accidentally injured my leg a while ago. It's not very comfortable to stand. Why don't we sit down in the pavilion over there and talk?"
Jian Yuyan was slightly surprised. He only saw Yan Yiming and the prince return safely, but he forgot how many elite soldiers Jian had sent to kill them after he learned of their whereabouts. The pursuers who came back said that they could not find the whereabouts of the two. At that time, he thought that the two might have died outside.
Imagining the dangers along the way, Jian Yuyan took a few steps back. Yan Yiming acted very convincingly, limping towards the pavilion. Jian Yuyan subconsciously wanted to lend a hand to help him, but took his hand back and just followed behind.
Taking advantage of this time, Yan Yiming quickly sorted out his thoughts. After sitting down, he looked up at Jian Yuyan's anxiety and said slowly, "Actually, I don't know where she is."
Jian Yuyan didn't expect her to be so honest. He was not surprised to hear Yan Yiming's answer. He glanced at Yan Yiming and said, "The princess once gave me a portrait of Ah Ming. I heard that the princess painted her portrait herself, but asked the painter to copy it again. I wonder why?"
"this……"
Yan Yiming dragged his tone and smiled shyly at Jian Yuyan's eyes, "It's just because my painting skills are poor and the painting is too ugly to show, so I asked the painter to revise it again. Master Jian is really not polite to expose my shortcomings."
Jian Yuyan's eyes darkened. The hidden guard had clearly said that the painter's painting was exactly the same as the princess's. In his opinion, there was really no difference. However, Yan Yiming said that his painting skills were superficial. But the original painting had been destroyed long ago. Even if there were secret guards to testify, what could be done if she denied it?
Jian Yuyan couldn't understand why she wanted to hide her handwriting, and why she wanted to clear her relationship with A Ming. Jian Yuyan suppressed his anger and sneered, "The princess is really modest."
"Thank you very much."
Jian Yuyan took a breath before continuing, "Since the princess was able to draw a portrait of Ah Ming, she must have seen her before."
"I have seen her," Yan Yiming nodded, then after showing some hesitation and embarrassment, he finally sighed and said, "But now I really don't know where she is."
Jian Yuyan looked away, "Why?"
Yan Yiming tapped his fingers lightly on the stone table, and then slowly said, "Four years ago, when I was traveling in Jiangnan, I did meet this girl named A Ming. I saw that she was a girl alone with a wound on her face, so I couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Later, we had a few words together and became familiar with each other."
Yan Yiming made up his own story, "So I know everything about the relationship between you and Miss A Ming, and I also know what she looks like."
Yan Yiming's expression was very sincere, and Jian Yuyan could not see any falsehood in it. Moreover, she described the time and Ah Ming's characteristics clearly. Jian Yuyan was stunned for a moment, "So those letters..."
"Of course the letter was written by Ah Ming herself," Yan Yiming said, "I am indeed sorry for this matter, sir. Before coming to Beijing, I went to see her on purpose and asked her to write these letters in case of emergency."
"But those letters clearly advised me to rebel against King Jiangxia and join the imperial court," Jian Yuyan said word by word, "You are the daughter of King Jiangxia, how could you instruct her to write such a letter?"
"I was on the side of the court, so why couldn't I instruct her to write such a letter?" Yan Yiming said with a "tsk". "Later, I betrayed my father and saved the prince. Isn't that what happened?"
So it all comes down to this question: you are the daughter of King Jiangxia, so why did you betray him?
"I'm sorry I can't answer this question," Yan Yiming finally stopped playing with him, "Master Jian, just now you asked me about Ah Ming's news and I answered you one by one, but now it involves my secrets, I feel I have no obligation to answer you."
Yan Yiming put away the smile on his face and said seriously, "Back then, you were controlled by Prime Minister Jian. I helped you escape from his control. I guided you to find a way to survive and saved your life and Madam Jian's life. But now you are being aggressive, as if I owe you something."
The situation quickly turned to Yan Yiming's side after he said this, and Jian Yuyan was slightly stunned.
"Now that Prime Minister Jian has been defeated, you have made great contributions and your life is safe. You will have nothing to worry about in the future. Why do you have to ask me the reason why I did this? What I told you just now is true that I have met Miss A Ming. Now that I have betrayed King Jiangxia and can no longer find her, it is also true. If you care about her, you can go find her yourself. But I have a few words of advice for you."
Jian Yuyan was startled and felt a little uneasy, but he still insisted on asking her, "What did you say?"
"In this world, no one can't live without the other. Now that everything is finally over, your life has just begun. It's time to let go of the past and look to the future."
Jian Yuyan could hear his own bitter voice, "Did she... tell you to say that?"
"Since you understand, I don't need to say it clearly," Yan Yiming smiled calmly, "Everything in the past, whether you owed her or she owed you, is now in the past. She has a new life. I hope you don't miss the past. Of course, she sincerely wishes you a safe and happy life in the future."
After saying this, Yan Yiming turned and left, leaving Jian Yuyan in a daze. He didn't know how long he sat quietly in the pavilion.
After Yan Yiming left the pavilion, she continued to limp while performing the play. Not far away, she ran into her maid who was looking for her. She said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had specially invited a doctor to treat her injuries.
Yan Yiming said "Oh" and took the maid's hand and returned to his residence. The prince was very careful and specially invited two doctors, one of whom was a female doctor.
The female doctor followed the prince's instructions and examined Yan Yiming from head to toe. Her face went from surprise at the beginning to shock at the end. When she looked at Yan Yiming again, there was only pity.
Yan Yiming felt a little scared by her look, so he put on his clothes again and asked someone to send two doctors out. After a while, the doctors brought some medicine and asked the maid to help her apply it.
After Shao Jingyu finished his work, he happened to meet the doctor who was leaving. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he casually asked about Yan Yiming's injury.
The female doctor immediately started talking. "Oh my, I've never seen a girl injured like this. Her back, waist, arms and legs are all covered with wounds. The wound on her leg is as long as two fingers. It's scary to look at. The poor girl must be in so much pain, but she's trying to be stubborn and say it doesn't hurt. How can this girl get married with so many wounds all over her body..."
Shao Jingyu suddenly felt a little dazed. Many years ago, the imperial physician had the same expression and said the same words after treating Yiming's injuries.
Shao Jingyu waved his hand and ordered the two to report to the prince. The familiar scene and familiar words made him think of the person who had left for many years again. Shao Jingyu still felt a dull pain in his heart.
After a long time, Shao Jingyu let out a long sigh, thought for a moment, and then went to find the prince.
On Nangong Xuan's side, after finishing his business, he frowned even more after hearing what the doctor said. He thought that Yan Yiming only had one wound on his leg, but he didn't expect that there was more than one. Suddenly, he felt a lot of guilt and emotion, and perhaps mixed with heartache that he had not even noticed.
When Shao Jingyu came in, Nangong Xuan happened to be writing on a piece of paper. Perhaps he was just thinking about how Yan Yiming risked his life to protect him along the way. When he lowered his head, he realized that many of the words he wrote were actually related to Yan Yiming.
For example, her title, Lin'an.
For example, her real name is Ming Yiyan.
Shao Jingyu glanced over and happened to see the conspicuous name, but the person standing on the right side of Nangong Xuan was not Ming Yiyan, but Yan Yiming.
I just took a quick glance at it, and after I finished reading it and repeated the name in my mind, I felt a sense of familiarity.
If he hadn't read these words, he would have thought someone was calling Yan Yiming.
Yan Yiming.
Yan Yiming.
When he came to his senses, Shao Jingyu remembered that Ming Yiyan was clearly the name of Princess Lin'an.
Shao Jingyu's heart moved slightly inadvertently.
Nangong Xuan did not notice Shao Jingyu's momentary sadness. After finishing his conversation with him about serious matters, he mentioned Yan Yiming and said that the doctor had just told him that she was seriously injured.
Nangong Xuan couldn't hide the guilt on his face. After a long while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My father ordered me to practice martial arts, but I felt it was useless. Now I regret it. If I had known some martial arts at that time, I wouldn't have let a woman get hurt like this for me."
Shao Jingyu was a little curious. "At that time, Prime Minister Jian sent hundreds of elite soldiers to hunt down His Highness and the Princess, but they all ended in vain. I just thought that His Highness had avoided the pursuers, but now it seems that they have fought several times."
Nangong Xuan sighed and nodded, "Yes, we have fought many times."
"I didn't expect the princess's kung fu to be so powerful."
"I am also surprised," Nangong Xuan said, "When I was held hostage, she killed a soldier with one move. Her move was extremely fast and accurate. Even the guards of the East Palace did not have such a skill."
"I wonder what weapon the princess usually uses?"
"The weapon is quite elegant, it's a Miao Dao."
Shao Jingyu frowned slightly, not because he was overthinking it, but because Yiming also used to use a Miao Dao.
The blade of this kind of sword is not too long, so it is not the best weapon choice. Generally, few people use this sword, but Yiming likes it, and unexpectedly, Princess Lin'an also likes it.
Nangong Xuan didn't know what Shao Jingyu was thinking, so he continued to talk about Yan Yiming, "I have also followed my father on several hunting trips, and my horsemanship is quite good, but that day, she couldn't catch up with the pursuers behind her. She even rode for several hours, and even I was a little unwell, but she was very relaxed, as if she had already gotten used to it. I really couldn't imagine that a woman could have such a skill. In order to avoid the pursuers, we hid deep in the mountains. I was worried that we would get lost, but she knew it very well. She even drew the surrounding terrain on the ground. But her map is not the same as what I usually see."
The fact that he does not feel uncomfortable while riding long distances can only mean that he is used to long-distance raids. When he was still in the capital, he also liked riding and shooting, but after going to the battlefield, he still felt uncomfortable due to riding for a long time. It was not until later that he was completely accustomed to it.
But Princess Lin'an could do the same as him, which made Shao Jingyu doubt it.
And you can draw a map easily...
It was another action that he was particularly familiar with.
Shao Jingyu's voice was a little hoarse, "I don't know what the difference is."
"The sage faces the world from the south and governs with the light, so when drawing a map, the south is at the top, the north is at the bottom, and the east and west are on the left and right. But she has north at the top, south at the bottom, west on the left, and east on the right..."
Shao Jingyu stood up suddenly.
"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
