Chapter 78 (1/2)

Yan Jinning was stunned and widened his eyes, looking at him unexpectedly.

The corner of his lips, with a little natural upward curvature, no deliberate smile, that expression seems to be clear and gentle.

But what does he mean by that?

In the previous contact, he would sometimes have some ambiguous small movements, but he never said anything clearly.

And she, acquiesced in his small movements, but never deeply studied, just because that person is him, she just from the bottom of her heart, how can accept and ignore.

I didn't want to marry him, I didn't want to go further. I never had a clear vision of the future

But what does he mean by this sentence today?

All of a sudden, Yan Jinning felt his heart beat like a drum beating.

She bit her lower lip slightly. For a moment, she felt confused.

Situyuan looked directly at her face, and the light of her eyes was gentle. At last, he sighed and said bitterly, ”but - I can't marry you.”

This time, he was more blunt.

Yan Jinning suddenly understood -

it turned out that he wanted to draw a line with her decisively.

Just that moment of palpitation and no measures, that moment of unrealistic dream, before it began to bloom before it was completely defeated to the cruel reality in front of us.

If he didn't mention it today, maybe she would never know. In fact, in her heart, there was always expectation for him.

There is water vapor in the eyes slowly condensing. Yan Jinning tries hard not to blink his eyes, for fear that a careless one will drop broken tears and make him embarrassed.

So, she pulled out a smile that was generous and decent in front of her, and whispered, ”I understand.”

Situ yuan laughed, but shook his head, and said: ”no! You don't understand

It was the first time for Yan Jinning to see such a cold and cruel expression on his face, and his heart felt inexplicably tight.

She knew he had something to say, and she just waited a little nervously.

After pondering for a moment, situ yuan opened his mouth in a more euphemistic way: ”you know, the prince is the adopted son of my mother. Now my status is very embarrassing, and it is not very secure.”

”What does that mean?” Yan Jinning twisted his eyebrows and looked puzzled.

After the empress Cong married the emperor, she did not have a baby.

The emperor was very fond of colors and favored countless women every year. At that time, Qi's imperial concubine already had the potential to favor the Empress Dowager. Later, empress Cong lost her temper and took the eldest son of the emperor, who was born to a noble man, under her knees.

Originally, it was just a temporary measure, but in a few years later, Qi Guifei gave birth to a son.

With her position in the emperor's mind at that time, it was hard to guarantee that the emperor would not be inspired by her pillow side style to make the third prince situ Ming the crown prince.

Therefore, empress Cong preemptively used the strength of her mother's family to join the courtiers to persuade the emperor to establish the eldest son situchen beside her as the crown prince.

At that time, because of this, Qi Guifei fought with her for a long time.

But even if the Qi princess was the imperial concubine, situ Ming was always a commoner son, and situchen was raised under the empress's knee, and his status was different. He was the eldest son, and he had an advantage in himself. Therefore, he firmly took the position of crown prince.

At that time, she probably thought that she could not have a son again. Empress Cong was very fond of situ Chen.

However, two years later, when situ Chen was 12 years old, empress Cong unexpectedly became pregnant and gave birth to the emperor's only legitimate son, that is, situ yuan. Maybe it was because she had a difficult labor and nearly died, and since she was born, she had been weak. So empress Cong was more partial to situ Chen. In the first few years, she left situ yuan in this hot spring palace and gave it to the wife of Dingguo to take care of her illness and recuperate. She still put more hope on the adoption of children.

Yan Jinning knows all this. Even the mother child relationship between empress Cong and situ yuan is a little cold. It is no secret in the whole capital city.

But after all, situ yuan is her own son. Does she want to prevent him to the point where she must take extraordinary measures?

At least in the previous life, because of the death of situ yuan, empress Cong felt mad and felt sorry for her.

”Anyway, you and the Queen's mother are mother and son.” Yan Jinning always feels incredible.

”What kind of mother and son?” After hearing the joke, situ yuan chuckled, ”born in the emperor's house, what is husband and wife? What is father and son? What are mother, son and brother? ”

Yan Jinning looked at him and shivered, ”Ziyuan, you --”

thinking of that possibility, she suddenly felt a kind of groundless fear rising.After a long time, she managed to resist the ups and downs of the mood, reluctantly pulled out a stiff smile, and tried to say, ”Ziyuan, are you implying something to me?”

Situyuan finally looked back at her, and her eyes were deeply helpless.

He said: ”Ning'er, now my future is uncertain, and I'm not sure where my future is. So you can't follow me, understand

The tone is solemn, without any meaning of ridicule and joke.

Yan Jinning looked at his eyes for a long time, almost did not hear his own heartbeat.

Knowing that he was scaring her, situ yuan raised his hand to touch her hair. His expression and tone of voice had returned to gentle and continued: ”find a down-to-earth person who can lead you to a stable life. You are the destination you should have.”

But Yan Jinning's mind is not here, she almost has some dyspnea, just insisted: ”empress, she - will really start with you?”

”Maybe.” Situ yuan sighed ambiguously and then said with a smile, ”who can tell the future?”

On his face, there was an expression of complete indifference.

situ Chen repeatedly attacked him. Even if empress Cong did not help, she could not have been unaware of her position. Her adopted son, again and again to murder her son, but the woman, she chose silence and laissez faire.

This kind of thing is unacceptable to anyone, right? But situ yuan never mentioned it.

He refused to break the window paper, or did he want to continue to cover up the peace for the woman? Because --

was that woman who gave birth to her? Because she was his own mother?

But now, he says he's ”in the dark”? He used such a serious word to describe the matter, which showed that it was really serious.

Yan Jinning was in a state of panic, and his mind was suddenly confused. However, he was relieved for a while, but his mind flashed.

She suddenly knelt down and sat down, climbed over to situ yuan and asked in disbelief: ”so, the people who instructed my second brother to lead you to our Chuang Tzu two months ago, and the people who stabbed you at night outside our Marquis's mansion some time ago, are they all -”

at this point, she is already shocked and doesn't want to go on.

”Or who do you think it should be?” Things passed, and when situ yuan mentioned it again, he was as calm as an outsider.

Yan Jinning's eyes were confused, ”I always thought it was Rui Wang's -”

”he?” Situyuan sneered, ”although he may not see me, it is more profitable for him to leave me to pinch each other with the crown prince? The third one has more brains than our prince brother. ”

Is it situ Chen doing it? Is the person behind Yan Jinhua actually the prince situ Chen?

This is incredible, and queen Cong probably knew and acquiesced in these things?

In this world, no matter how powerful the enemy is, what you fear most is that those who you think should have protected and supported you are stabbed in the back.

If what situ Yuan said is true, even if empress Cong is just watching this coldly, what will happen in the future? In case one day, the woman will personally fight against situ yuan? It's impossible to prevent from being attacked by your own mother.

At this moment, Yan Jinning's heart suddenly had the same sense of panic that she was about to collapse, because she suddenly understood the real motive of empress Cong's madness in her previous life. Maybe she was reluctant to let her own son be true, but what's more, the woman should know that she killed her own son later The real murderer is the adopted son raised by himself? However, instead of exposing the truth, she continued to support her adopted son to stabilize her position in spite of her conscience.

instead, she took her as a scapegoat to vent her anger?

Yan Jinning's heart was suddenly filled with anger.

In the past, she just felt that she was trampled and used by the Yan family. At this time, she was shocked to find that situ yuan's situation was not better than her.

She bit her lip, and there was a flame burning under her eyes.

Obviously, it was just an illusion. At that moment, situ yuan felt a little warm in his heart.

”In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just that with my mother's temper, it's not good for you to get close to me. If you can avoid it, you can stay away from her as far as possible.”

The identity of empress Cong is there. She wants to do something to Yan Jinning. Yan Jinning can't even resist.

”Then - I see!” Yan Jinning drooped her eyes and was silent for a while and then nodded her head gently.

After thinking about it, she looked up at situ yuan and said, ”what about you? Do you care about the mother child relationship with her

Situyuan laughed and his lips were soft.

He raised his hand to touch her hair again, because he felt that the touch was too smooth and beautiful. He couldn't help but touch her twice more.This girl, when she raised her face to look at him, her eyes moved. She always felt that the wave of light would always sway gently in her heart, incomparably beautiful.

”Don't worry about these things. They're not your business.” Situ Yuan Road, turned to look at the sky, ”you also stayed here for a while, go back, save your two girls to look for everywhere.”

Yan Jinning looks at his face.
