Chapter 30 I Want to Live
Ji Yanxing looked at the lively girl in front of him, her lips moving vividly.
"What kind of reward would you like?" Ling Qingyan kept muttering, "You should have quite a few swords."
"The weapons I can get are probably not as good as your own."
If she wanted to get something better, she would have to ask Ling Zhuoan for it. If Ling Zhuoan knew that she was coming to send Ji Yanxing off...
Let’s just forget it.
"The jade pendant feels too perfunctory."
"Musical instruments, forget it. You don't look like you can play one."
Ji Yanxing stared at her closely, not wanting to miss any vivid expression on her face.
His throat rolled.
Although he was in the place that people in the capital least wanted to be, he really felt very happy at this moment.
I feel so happy.
His father instilled in him the importance of bringing honor to the family when he was young, and that when push came to shove, he had to put the family's interests first.
Just like his younger aunt, who married the younger brother of Duke Chen and became the mistress of Duke Chen's second wife. However, she didn't expect that she had entrusted her trust to the wrong person. She was tortured every day and her life was worse than death. The once bright and beautiful person would rather commit suicide out of depression than divorce.
It’s all for the interests and reputation of the Ji family.
And he brought the Ji family to unprecedented heights, never let down the ancestors of the Ji family, and even today, he will die for the Ji family.
Good friends avoid you, close relatives abandon you, the emperor loses, and everything becomes a dead end.
He originally thought that everyone is going to die, and that it was good enough that he could bring so much value to the family in the first half of his life. There was nothing unacceptable about it.
But now, looking at the girl's lively face and voice, he didn't seem to want to die so much.
Unprecedented attachment to the mundane world.
"Oh." Ling Qingyan patted her head and looked at him with a sly smile, "How about I reward you by having you accompany me on a boat trip?"
As if afraid that he would not agree, Ling Qingyan continued, "Although this may seem like a reward to myself, General Ji, this kind of unique experience is truly precious. Look, this princess is so beautiful. I will also prepare a beautiful boat, and choose a night with many stars, preferably with fireworks, and then I will have someone prepare a table of delicious food..."
Ji Yanxing was mesmerized by what he heard, and the scene of the two of them swimming on the lake under the moonlight had already appeared in his mind.
"Please, General Ji~" Ling Qingyan begged in a coquettish tone.
"Your Highness, do you know what situation I am in now?" Ji Yanxing smiled bitterly.
Of course Ling Qingyan knew that, let alone going boating with her, it was even a question whether Ji Yanxing could survive.
"I know." Ling Qingyan's smile did not fade. "But weren't you wronged?"
"If there is any problem, we just need to try our best. We should always give it a try. Ji Yanxing, don't tell me you are tired of living and want to die?" Ling Qingyan's expression looked like she was laughing out of anger.
"No." Ji Yanxing finally put on a smile, "I want to live."
He spoke with great determination, and the dejection in his eyes was gone.
He did nothing wrong, why should he die?
He wanted to live, he wanted to go boating with her.
He wanted to be with her.
"Then just listen to me, okay?" Ling Qingyan held his hand.
The girl's hands were warm and soft. The moment she held his hand, it was as if her whole body was filled with warmth and her blood became boiling.
"good."

In Yaohua Palace, the girl had a worried look on her face as she sat at the table thinking about how to rescue Ji Yanxing.
Pei Wuyou walked in and brought her a bowl of sweet soup and exquisite pastries.
Seeing Ling Qingyan's gloomy face, with a hint of darkness hidden in her eyes, she said, "Sister, are you worried about General Ji?"
"Well, I think he was wronged, and the real murderer must be someone else." Ling Qingyan said.
"That's how much my sister believes in him."
What's so good about Ji Yanxing that would make his sister worry so much?
Fortunately, he is about to die.
Of course he was wronged, but if he could get rid of Ji Yanxing, this trip would not be completely in vain.
Who made him so annoying and pestering his sister all day long?
He was too proud.
Ling Qingyan paused and said, "I just feel that such a high-spirited young general shouldn't have died like this. Besides, he didn't have enough motivation."
"Pei Wuyou, do you have any good ideas?" Ling Qingyan asked.
After all, Pei Wuyou is one of the male protagonists in this world. He should be very smart. What if he has some way to help Ji Yanxing escape from trouble?
"Just help your sister, okay?" Ling Qingyan pleaded.
What Ling Qingyan didn't know was that the more she said this, the more Pei Wuyou wanted Ji Yanxing to die quickly.
Why do we have to wait until ten days to execute him? Can he die now?
He was so jealous that he was going crazy.
However, his face was full of apology, and he lowered his head: "I'm sorry, sister, I really want to help you, but I don't have the ability."
"I can barely take care of myself and can't protect myself. I don't know much about what's going on in Ling State and I don't know anyone. I'm really powerless.
"Sister, am I useless?"
Pei Wuyou looked extremely remorseful.
Little did he know that he was one of the people who framed Ji Yanxing for the assassination.
Seeing him like this, Ling Qingyan didn't want to put any psychological pressure on him. "It's okay, I'll think of another way. This is nothing to do with you, so don't blame yourself. If you can protect yourself, you're doing your sister the greatest favor."
One person has already gotten into trouble, he can't afford to get into trouble again.
Pei Wuyou lowered his head, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The next day, Ling Qingyan went to Prince Yong's Mansion.
The biggest victim of the Qingluan Mountain assassination was Prince Yong Lingyu. As long as Lingyu could speak for Ji Yanxing in the court and prove that he was not the real murderer, his father would be innocent.
Ling Qingyan asked the servant of Prince Yong's Mansion to inform him, and soon she was led to the front hall of Prince Yong's Mansion.
The entire Prince Yong's Mansion looks deserted and depressing. Unlike the palace where there are various flowers planted, most of the flowers in Prince Yong's Mansion are easy to grow trees. It can be seen that the owner is not a person who likes to tend to flowers and plants.
Prince Yong had just returned to the capital, and many people came to visit him, but it was said that Prince Yong rarely met with them.
Ling Qingyan met him quite smoothly.
Ling Yu sat on the armchair and kept his eyes on her since she came in.
"Tang Ning greets the emperor's uncle." Ling Qingyan saluted.
The man sat in the high seat and smiled nonchalantly: "Sit."
Then he ordered, "Serve tea to the princess."
After serving the tea, Ling Yu dismissed all the servants and said, "Everyone, except Tang Ning, please leave. The princess must have something to say to me alone."
Only Ling Yu and Ling Qingyan were left in the room.
Ling Qingyan smiled awkwardly and asked, "Is the emperor's uncle's injury any better?"
"If Tang Ning really cared about my injury, she shouldn't have come today." Ling Yu smiled and took a sip of tea. "You're not being frank, my niece."
"You came here today to ask me to save Ji Yanxing. Am I right?"
Ling Yu said this without any doubt, but with a very firm attitude.
