Chapter 335 What do you want me to do?
After several months, when Ning Yongnian saw You Jia again, he felt that she seemed to be the same as before, but she was no longer the same as before.
Last November, he ordered You Jia to go to Shuzhou alone to get close to Wei Changtian and gain his trust.
Afterwards, he used You Jia as bait and reached a deal with the evil monk Jing Yuan, attempting to cause conflict between the Wei family and Buddhism.
However, Wei Changtian's "playing hard to get what he wants" move at that time made the whole plan fail, and You Jia was rescued by Wei Changtian.
In the following months, Ning Yongnian never used You Jia again until the killing order half a month ago. And the result was just as Li Huaizhong "worried" at the time, You Jia failed to kill Wei Changtian.
Ning Yongnian did not doubt whether all this was false or not, because he knew very well how much You Jia loved him.
In other words, he simply didn't believe that Longque, who had grown up among the Dragon Guards, the little girl whose life he had saved with his own hands, and Youjia, who had done anything for him, would betray him one day.
"When did you come back?"
Looking at the woman standing respectfully opposite him, Ning Yongnian's face showed tenderness: "Take a good rest after coming back this time."
"emperor."
You Jia lowered her head and whispered, "I failed to kill Wei Changtian, and I am willing to accept any punishment."
"It's not your fault. This kid is different from ordinary people after all."
Ning Yongnian shook his head slightly: "It would be best if you can succeed, but it's not a fault if you don't."
"You are lucky to be alright now."
“.”
You are lucky to be okay.
This was the first time Youjia heard Ning Yongnian say such words to her.
She didn't know what the latter had experienced during her absence, nor did she know whether these words were true or false.
If it were a few months ago, Youjia would probably be overjoyed.
But now Wei Changtian had already occupied almost her entire heart, which made her instinctively feel a little resistance to this sentence.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty"
His head was still buried low and his voice was still soft.
You Jia unconsciously took half a step back, and Ning Yongnian also noticed something at this moment.
"Youjia."
"Why don't you dare look at me?"
“.”
My heart seemed to skip a beat, causing my shoulders to tremble slightly.
In fact, on the way back to Daning, You Jia had already thought about what attitude she should adopt towards Ning Yongnian.
But when she actually met the latter, all her preparations were suddenly of no use at all.
"Your Majesty."
Struggling to raise her head, You Jia forced herself to look into Ning Yongnian's eyes.
At this moment, the two people's eyes finally met in the air, silently, but it once again caused a ripple in Youjia's heart that should have been forgotten.
"I have failed to complete my mission and am ashamed to face the Emperor."
Biting her lip, Youjia found an extremely lame excuse for herself.
And how could Ning Yongnian not see something strange?
"Yujia, do you have anything to say to me?"
There was no harsh questioning or secret probing. Ning Yongnian just said softly in a gentle tone: "No matter what it is, I will not blame you."
"Your Majesty, no." Youjia lowered her head again.
"Really?"
Ning Yongnian paused and did not ask any more questions: "In that case, then you can go and have a rest. We can talk about the rest later."
"yes."
As if she had been pardoned, Youjia immediately bowed and prepared to leave.
But just as she turned around and was about to walk out of the room, Ning Yongnian's voice suddenly sounded behind her again.
"By the way, since I have promised to marry you before, I will definitely keep my word."
"I have asked someone to look at the date. August 1 is a good date. I will meet you then."
“.”
In a trance, the sounds in my ears became smaller and smaller.
At this moment, You Jia could no longer hear what Ning Yongnian was saying. She only felt that her thoughts were blocked by extremely chaotic and complicated emotions.
Although her heart is now almost entirely filled with Wei Changtian, "almost" means not all.
How could this be? No, it shouldn't be like this. How did You Jia end up leaving the Shiqu Pavilion Hall in a daze? Even she herself probably didn't know.
However, Ning Yongnian saw everything.
When the former's figure disappeared, the gentleness on his face gradually faded away.
The flames of several eternal lamps around him pointed straight up. Ning Yongnian looked at the red light thoughtfully and suddenly asked, "Old Li, do you think Long Que has really taken action?"
"emperor."
The candlelight flickered, and Li Huaizhong appeared from behind the screen: "According to the information sent back by the spies from Fengyuan, Longque did try to assassinate Wei Changtian."
"I didn't ask you what the intelligence said."
Turning his head to look at Li Huaizhong, Ning Yongnian repeated: "I am asking what you think."
"this"
Li Huaizhong pretended to hesitate, and after a long while he slowly answered: "Your Majesty, Longque was raised by me, and I believe he would never commit treason."
"In that case, she just can't bear it?"
"I think so."
Li Huaizhong took advantage of the situation and echoed Ning Yongnian's guess, "No matter what, Wei Changtian had saved Long Que's life, and the two had been together day and night for more than a few months. Under such circumstances, it is understandable that Long Que feels guilty and is in a trance now."
"Um."
Nodding, Ning Yongnian stood up and paced back and forth in front of the table for a few circles, then suddenly stopped and said, "Old Li, you also heard what I said to Longque just now."
"Tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to prepare."
"On the first day of August, I will confer the title of Long Que as my consort, Zhen."
“.”
"yes."
Five days later, June 12th.
Fengyuan, Princess Mansion.
In the early morning, Wei Changtian and his party finally returned to Fengyuan City from the Western Desert.
Although it didn't take too much effort to find Old Zhang this time, it still took more than ten days to go back and forth.
And now, there are only three days left before the people of Fengyuan City begin to evacuate.
According to the plan previously formulated by the Dafeng court, if Wei Changtian failed to kill Yan Luo, the people in Fengyuan City would begin to evacuate on June 15th. The whole process would last about twenty days to ensure that no one would be left in the city on the Ghost Festival on July 15th.
Of course, the evacuation of the people does not conflict with "beheading Yama Luo".
So for Wei Changtian, he still has at least one month.
“.”
"Sir, Princess, Senior Zhang."
Chu Xianping, who had been waiting at the gate, immediately came forward when he saw Wei Changtian and others getting off the carriage.
His gaze lingered on Du Chang for a moment, but he did not ask any more questions. He just followed Wei Changtian into the mansion.
"Sir, Youjia has returned to the capital."
"Really?"
Wei Changtian nodded: "Nothing unusual, right?"
"this."
Chu Xianping lowered his voice and whispered in Wei Changtian's ear: "The spy from Tongzhouhui working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported back that Ning Yongnian wanted to confer the title of Zhenfei on Youjia on the first day of August."
"What? Confer the title of consort?"
Wei Changtian paused, frowned and asked, "What did You Jia say?"
"A few days ago, Miss You sent a letter back from Ranyu to confirm this matter and asked."
Chu Xianping spoke in a calm tone.
"And ask what you want her to do?"
