Chapter 162 Make a bet?
Yun Zhao put the peanuts into his mouth and said "Oh" nonchalantly.
Deputy General Gao turned around and looked at Yun Zhao's fair face. "Do you still want to know why?"
Although they have been together for many years, he still can't figure out Yun Zhao's thoughts.
After going through so many things, is there still Xie Jingmo in Yun Zhao's heart?
Will she still be like before, at the frontier, regardless of anything else, always only having eyes for Xie Jingmo, and always standing on his side?
Deputy General Gao couldn't understand why, so he asked directly, "Do you still want to know the reason?"
Yun Zhao and Deputy General Gao squatted on the ground and said lightly: "It's up to you. If you want to talk, I will listen." It would also be good to know where she lost in the past seven years. But if Deputy General Gao didn't want to say, then she didn't care. Anyway, there was no going back, and listening would not change the current situation between her and Xie Jingmo.
Deputy General Gao paused for a long time.
Then, he said, "What about me? If you feel like you don't want to listen in the middle, just leave."
Yun Zhao nodded casually.
Deputy General Gao's voice was indifferent, "I heard that the late emperor originally wanted the general to be the emperor. He had this in mind, but on the surface he was most fond of the fifth prince and used the fifth prince to shield the general. Later, during a hunting trip, the fifth prince saw through the late emperor's thoughts and was completely desperate. He designed a plan to frame the general. The general fell off a cliff and was rescued by a family. The family was proficient in medicine and provided emergency treatment for the general, which gave the palace physician enough time to save the general's life.
Later, when the general recovered, he went back to look for the family, but they had already moved away. Many years passed, and the general still missed his benefactor. One day, he saw the girl holding the black jade pendant on the street. He then learned that the family who had saved him had met with misfortune, and that Lin Ruyu had been sold into a brothel and became an imperial courtesan.
Deputy General Gao finished speaking.
He lowered his head and ate several peanuts without hearing any movement from the people around him.
He turned around in surprise and looked at Yun Zhao, "Why aren't you talking?"
Yun Zhao came back to his senses in a daze, "Hmm?"
Deputy General Gao was surprised, "Didn't you hear what I said just now?"
Yun Zhao curled his lips, his smile somewhat sarcastic.
But it's very light.
"Well, I was thinking about something that happened many years ago. What did you just say?"
Deputy General Gao opened his mouth to repeat himself, but Yun Zhao had already stood up. "Forget it, listen next time. I'm going back now. Something has happened in the palace and I can't leave for too long."
Deputy General Gao opened his mouth and paused for a long time before coming to his senses and nodding, "Ah, fine. Be careful when you go back."
Yun Zhao nodded, but the look in his eyes was extremely sarcastic.
Ink jade pendant.
So...
Yun Zhao walked towards the palace step by step. She had no intention of exposing Lin Ruyu's lie because she just thought it was ridiculous.
She doesn't feel the need to repay anyone for any reason, even if that person might be her?
She doesn't care about it now.
I never thought about what I should be rewarded for my casual rescue.
Lin Ruyu is quite scheming.
Since Xie Jingmo likes to repay favors so much, let him repay them to his heart's content.
The most severe punishment for a person is to stab him in the back in the thing he cares about most.
Yun Zhao curled his lips and walked into the palace.
Xie Jingmo went to find Deputy General Gao and asked, "Did you tell her the reason? Did she listen?"
Deputy General Gao, still eating peanuts, said, "I told you. You gave me the order, how could I not tell you?"
Xie Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, it was normal for women to be jealous of him, but it was not something that could lead to a death.
That was still his savior.
He felt that as long as Deputy General Gao told Yun Zhao the reasons why he was nice to Lin Ruyu, Yun Zhao would naturally let go of the past.
Then, she would also be able to feel sympathy for Lin Ruyu, and there would be hope that Lin Ruyu's poison could be cured.
Deputy General Gao tilted his head and took in the thoughts on Xie Jingmo's face.
Then Xie Jingmo asked, "What did she say? Did she say when she would go to rescue them?"
Deputy General Gao: "Who?"
Xie Jingmo was shocked. "Why are you pretending to be stupid? You know what I'm talking about."
Deputy General Gao shook his head innocently, "I don't know."
Xie Jingmo: "...Lin Ruyu, when will she go to save Lin Ruyu!"
Deputy General Gao looked innocent. "She didn't say that. Besides, what does your crappy story have to do with Yun Zhao?"
Just as Xie Jingmo was about to argue, he heard Deputy General Gao say, "General, don't tell me that you want to repay Lin Ruyu's kindness with the lives of Yun Zhao's parents?"
Xie Jingmo looked at Deputy General Gao with confidence, "I told you, I will compensate Yun Zhao."
Deputy General Gao couldn't control himself and blurted out, "Are you okay?"
Xie Jingmo's face immediately turned black.
Deputy General Gao felt that his attitude was a bit too much, but he asked very seriously: "General, are you telling me a joke? But this joke is really not funny at all."
"Nothing can replace the death of one's family. Do I need to say this?"
"General, you were born into a royal family, but do you need me to explain basic filial piety?"
Xie Jingmo opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
Deputy General Gao shook his head and said, "General, listen to me. If you still want to have a future with Yun Zhao, don't worry about Lin Ruyu's affairs anymore."
"Putting aside other things, I have my doubts about the fact that you said it was Lin Ruyu who saved you!"
Would a woman like Lin Ruyu save someone who was almost dead?
It's her way to keep to herself.
Deputy General Gao even felt that carrying a seriously ill person back home without regard for the consequences was more like what Yun Zhao would do.
Xie Jingmo was in a state of panic. "Don't say such sarcastic words to me. I verified what happened with Lin Ruyu. She told me with her own mouth where she found me and how she found my jade pendant. She is the most kind-hearted person in the world. You can't misunderstand her like this."
Deputy General Gao was horrified. "She's innocent?"
"Why not?" Xie Jingmo retorted, "She clearly knew that this jade pendant was mine, yet she never came to see me. In the end, she even ended up in a brothel, yet she remained as reserved and pure as a lotus. Everyone misunderstood her, but she always smiled it off. Many men don't have this kind of heart, so how can she not be considered pure and kind?"
Deputy General Gao chuckled, "How do you know Lin Ruyu hasn't come looking for you? And how do you know she doesn't want to cling to you?"
"The palace has disliked you and Lin Ruyu for a long time. Every time you leave the palace, someone follows you. How do you know that the Queen Mother didn't send anyone to stop you? And Lin Ruyu didn't go looking for you, not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't."
Xie Jingmo sneered, "I said it as if you saw it."
Deputy General Gao pouted and said, "I didn't see it, but I know that your Lin Ruyu is not the kind of person who can endure without asking for anything in return."
Deputy General Gao looked at Xie Jingmo and said, "General, how about a bet?"
