She is not Jiang Jingyuan
Perhaps because today was the day she had an appointment with Empress Rong, Jiang Jingyuan had no other plans for the whole day. She didn't need to rush back to practice martial arts or attend classes, and she just didn't want to go back -
She did not deliberately avoid people when she came. With Queen Rong's methods, if she did not want others to know, then she would definitely not let others hear it. On the contrary, if someone knew about it, it meant that Queen Rong did not care about such a small matter. In that case, why should she be nervous?
What she was worried about was that when she returned, she would see Jiang Jingjian waiting in the hall.
She would be wary of other people, but what about Jiang Jingjian?
Are you wary? Are you afraid?
Neither of them was true. Right now, she just had an indescribable complex emotion towards him, and subconsciously wanted to avoid him. After all, if Jiang Jingjian saw her current attitude, he would definitely be sad...
Uh... Jiang Jingyuan was stunned. Why was she thinking about what Jiang Jingjian would think?
The words just now echoed in her mind again. She lowered her eyes and silently said "Don't think about it", then raised her feet and walked forward towards the sunshine.
Jiang Jingsui, Jiang Jingzong, and Jiang Jingqian are all dangerous, but could Jiang Jingjian, who ultimately stands out among them, be anything but simple? Could the "tyrannical lord" recorded in later generations really have been pure and innocent in his youth?
"careful……"
Jiang Jingyuan muttered to himself.
Um……?
When she came to her senses, Jiang Jingyuan realized that she had curled up in a corner without realizing it. She turned around and saw Jiang Jingmang sitting next to her in the same position. She looked down and saw a furry black cat nestled in her arms.
The black cat smacked its lips, and the pitch-black furry ball stretched out its four paws, stretching out into a cat shape. It then lazily arched its back in her arms and dozed off again with its eyes closed.
Jiang Jingyuan's heart suddenly sank, and he subconsciously recalled: "I should have avoided people when I came here...?"
When I think about it carefully, I can’t remember...
She sighed helplessly, perhaps she was avoiding people—
If she had come here openly, she wouldn't have to squat in the corner here.
In the corner, a girl in a light blue dress clutched the pale yellow shawl dangling from her arms, occasionally glancing at the girl beside her. Although Jiang Jingyuan's expression remained calm, she had inexplicably sensed something was amiss the moment she laid eyes on her. This was later confirmed, as Jiang Jingyuan had been led here by her sleeve, and even after she placed the cat in Jiang Jingyuan's arms, Jiang Jingyuan remained unresponsive.
——Jiang Jingyuan was in a bad mood.
Jiang Jingmang inexplicably believed this, but she didn't say much, just stayed here quietly.
One person was thinking absentmindedly, while another was looking at the sky and the earth with an empty mind.
Maybe it is not a good idea to think this way, but Jiang Jingmang does feel at ease because there is someone by his side. They stay together quietly, as if they have withdrawn from this troubled world and, as a spectator, secretly watch the coming and going of people in this mundane world.
Jiang Jingyuan's eyes moved, and she felt a cautious and worried gaze cast at her. She turned her head and saw the person next to her tilting his head and smiling. In her sight, that smile turned into surprise and panic after being discovered in the next second -
Jiang Jingmang's eyes widened slightly, as if he didn't expect her to suddenly turn around and look at him.
Jiang Jingyuan was a little confused and asked subconsciously, "Are you happy?"
She didn't expect Jiang Jingmang to look so relaxed. Obviously nothing had happened. Why did Jiang Jingmang, who was so afraid of making mistakes before, suddenly become so relaxed?
"I'm happy." Jiang Jingmang folded his arms on his knees, tilted his head and leaned on his arms, two shallow dimples at the corners of his mouth, his eyes curved, and said with a smile, "No one has come to see me for a long time, so I can only stay in the room every day and dare not go out. I don't know what to do every day. There were a few times before that someone came to see me, but I had to be careful to pay attention to not let the cat run in front of people... It's still a bit tiring..."
However, when I am with His Highness Jing Yuan, I don’t have these worries. It’s very relaxing and happy.
This time, Jiang Jingyuan was not as calm as before, as if he had no thoughts. Instead, he looked unhappy. He followed her obediently when she was led. He looked a little silly and cute, which made her feel happy unconsciously. She couldn't help but look at him a few more times and say a few more words.
In her vision, beneath the blue sky and white clouds, a girl in white was huddled in a corner, holding a black cat. The black cat stood up, sniffed with its nose twitching, squinted its eyes, and rubbed its head against the girl's cheek. The girl squinted her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was a hint of confusion and puzzlement in her eyes...
Jiang Jingmang did not ask about the troubles of the girl in front of him.
She was stupid, she couldn't solve Jiang Jingyuan's troubles, nor did she know how to make Jiang Jingyuan happy. But she thought, she could accompany Jiang Jingyuan, so that when Jiang Jingyuan looked back, she would see someone beside her -
She didn't know whether Jiang Jingyuan would be a little happy about this, she only knew that she wanted to give Jiang Jingyuan the best and most anticipated companionship in her heart.
Jiang Jingyuan looked at her and saw the reflection of the world in her eyes. He blinked slowly in the world and said softly, "Thank you."
Jiang Jingyuan knew that Jiang Jingyuan liked...
Jiang Jingmang stared blankly at the girl in front of him, his heart feeling hot. It was as if his heart beneath his flesh and bones suddenly came alive, beating rapidly, each beat echoing clearly in his ears.
"Then... Is His Highness Jing Yuan happier?" The girl in blue blushed and asked courageously.
Perhaps Jiang Jingmang herself didn't know that her sweet voice was trembling slightly when she said this.
"Yeah." Jiang Jingyuan looked at her with soft eyes and responded clearly, "I'm very happy."
Very happy... Jiang Jingmang lowered his head slightly and smiled.
Jiang Jingyuan gently picked up the black cat in his arms with one hand, and stretched out his other hand in front of Jiang Jingmang. When Jiang Jingmang reached out and took his hand, the two stood up together.
"Thank you." Jiang Jingyuan thanked him again very seriously, looking at Jiang Jingmang and said, "I think I can go back now."
She said, "See you next time."
The girl in blue smiled and said, "See you next time."
The midday sun was blazing brightly. The black cat followed the girl in white for a few steps, then was picked up by the girl in blue. Hidden in her sleeves, the black cat's ears twitched slightly as it heard a faint voice from above:
"Don't run around, we'll wait here for His Highness Jing Yuan..."
The black cat seemed to understand and stopped struggling. It was quietly carried back to the room by the girl in blue.
As Jiang Jingyuan strolled back to the palace, she saw a palace maid coming from the front. The palace maid turned and followed behind her, lowered her head and whispered, "Your Highness Jingyuan, the Second Prince is coming..."
Jiang Jingyuan paused subconsciously before hearing her continue, "I left an incense stick ago and left some refreshments for you. I'll serve them to you now."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Jingyuan lowered his eyes and said, "Yeah."
"Yes." The maid responded, stepped back, turned around and called three or two maids to give instructions.
Walking straight into the depths of the hall and sitting down at the table, Jiang Jingyuan saw that tea and snacks had been set out on the table. There were three small glass plates with exquisite and beautiful cakes of different shapes placed on them in an orderly manner. Just looking at them was amazing.
Jiang Jingjian knew...
Just like Jiang Jingyuan is familiar with Jiang Jingjian——
Jiang Jingjian was too familiar with her. He guessed what she was thinking just by seeing that she had not returned for a long time. Not wanting to embarrass her... he left first.
Jiang Jingyuan felt depressed, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
——It’s not a good thing for Jiang Jingjian to know her too well. He should avoid her, otherwise this understanding will make her defensive and suspicious in the future.
After having tea and snacks, Jiang Jingyuan did not take advantage of the lunch break to take a nap, but immediately began to accumulate spiritual energy in the jade ring.
"This is not the reason to choose Jiang Yunshu. Jiang Yunshu is not powerful. On the contrary, she is too naive and soft-hearted..."
When Jiang Jingyuan's mind suddenly popped up these words, she suddenly woke up, realizing that she had been distracted for who knows how long. She frantically tried to recall the voice in her mind. It was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it belonged to.
Jiang Jingyuan broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
Her eyes were suddenly filled with fear. She found that when she recalled her past memories, it was like looking at flowers in the fog. Everything was hazy and she couldn't remember clearly...
how so……
Jiang Jingyuan looked up and around, feeling cold all over. He couldn't help but recall the day when he first fell into Tianshui Pond. It was very cold, and all his senses were crying and screaming like a ghost.
Cold, cold, cold—
cold!
So cold, so cold...
It’s so cold!!!
It was clearly the hottest time of the day at noon, but his hands and feet were getting colder and colder. Jiang Jingyuan felt as if he was falling into an icy cave.
That's right, she wasn't the one who lived with Jiang Jingjian in the palace for eleven years, so why would she care so much about what Jiang Jingjian thought?!
That makes sense.
Her real memories of the past are slowly fading and becoming hazy. The memories and boundaries of Jiang Yunshu and Jiang Jingyuan are merging bit by bit, and she only remembers that she came through time to find the blood seal. Nothing more.
Jiang Jingyuan's eyes trembled as she thought of the time traveler that the Jiang family had sent to the past.
Are those people like this too?
I forgot myself and the way I came, so I haven't returned yet.
Even traces of their existence were wiped out, and the past and future ceased to exist. Only when the Jiang family once again considered changing their fate could someone indifferently deduce, "Oh, maybe we once sent our people back to ancient times, but those people failed to live up to our expectations."
This is a road of no return...
Jiang Jingyuan didn't like the Jiang family very much, and she had never cared much about anyone in the past. She didn't want to go back to the Jiang family. She just couldn't bear to forget everything and stay in this strange yet very familiar era in her memory...birth, old age, sickness and death.
She is Jiang Yunshu, she doesn’t want to be washed away by the torrent of time, she doesn’t want to be obliterated by the times!!!
"What should I do, what should I do... What should I do, what should I do..." Jiang Jingyuan's mind was in a mess, and he stared blankly at the water-colored jade ring on the index finger of his tender left hand.
Calm down, calm down...
Don’t be afraid…!!!
Her rapid breathing gradually calmed down and the dizziness gradually subsided. Jiang Jingyuan thought, there must be a way. If she could come here, she would definitely be able to go back.
Did those who traveled through time before experience any problems with their memories? Did they ever consider returning? Did they even try?
Do I have to travel back again? !
No, no, not to mention that the secret method of time travel was in the hands of the two people who suddenly came to the Jiang family in the past, she didn't know anything about it.
Even if she could travel back in time, she would still end up with her memory fading, herself lost and dying - this is not the ending she wanted!
Jiang Jingyuan's eyes were blank, and the blood beneath his skin was surging rapidly, as if he was screaming and fleeing in extreme fear.
There will be a way, there will be a way...
There must be a way——!!!
She could, she could—
She could—
Longevity.
