Chapter 97
Yan Yiming woke up very early, and when it was dawn, she sat hugging the quilt for a long time.
Little Apple woke up ignorantly, quietly huddled at the foot of the bed and stared at her for a while, then dozed off and fell asleep. Yan Yiming caught a glimpse of it from the corner of her eye, wrapped it up with a quilt, and put on her clothes Get out of bed.
I had a dream all night, and after waking up, my mind was still full of the facial features and voices of Jiang Yi and the others, as if faintly transmitted from the void, lingering.
Yan Yiming has always believed that dreams can reflect a person’s true inner world, good and bad, what he often thinks about in his daily life, and what he cares about in this world but is deliberately avoided, will all be staged in dreams unscrupulously.
The dawn of early autumn was chilly, clearly wearing a coat but still a bit cold, Yan Yiming touched his arm, and sat himself on the stool silently in a daze.
Yan Yiming is unwilling to think carefully about the past between her and everyone, and sometimes even deliberately reminds herself that this world is false, and everyone is also a fiction, and everything that happens between them will eventually come to an end. Will shatter into pieces when she’s gone.
But why do I still dream, why do I still feel stuffy and plainly afraid when I wake up.
Yan Yiming lowered his eyes.
Because even if people are fake, feelings are real.
Whether the feelings are selfless or selfish, whether the memories are happy or sad, they are all true.
Everyone has dreams, but Nangong Ye and Jiang Yi appear a little more than others, because the guilt she deliberately ignored is also true.
He can deceive Nangong Xuan again without any pressure, he can play around with Jian Yuyan, and he dares to stand upright in front of Shao Jingyu, but for the wholehearted Jiang Yi and the innocent Nangong Ye who was involved by her, he is condemned from conscience It was always easier to compromise, and it was guilt like this that scared her a little.
The image of Jiang Yi gently stroking the coffin appeared in his mind again, Yan Yiming shook his head vigorously, stood up and pushed open the window, the coolness that hit his face immediately froze all thoughts to death in his mind.
Yan Yiming heaved a long sigh of relief. It is not her style to be sentimental and to look forward and backward. This is a game, and she is an excellent player, so she can play the game, but she must not be played by the game.
No matter what it is, it is nothing compared to winning the game and finally returning to the present world.
But after having this kind of dream, Yan Yiming was really worried. He put away the previous things as a matter of course, and paid more attention to the plot that should happen next, and he was much more serious than usual when talking about serious things with Wei Xiongjie.
Wei Xiongjie was a little surprised, in the end he just thought it was near the end, and the princess couldn’t suppress his excitement, so he persuaded Yan Yiming a few words, asking her to keep normal, so as not to be discovered by others.
Yan Yiming smiled and said relieved.
Wei Xiongjie saw that she was in a chatty mood, and was a little reluctant to leave, so he talked to her about the Mid-Autumn Festival.
“The Empress Dowager likes to be lively. Your Majesty’s filial piety will attach great importance to this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. It stands to reason that the princess is not a member of the royal family, but the princess was also invited to the queen’s birthday family banquet last time. The subordinates think that the princess will still be happy at this family banquet.” It is among those invited, and the queen still seems to want to make the princess and the prince more intimate.”
Yan Yiming remembered that the empress had said that she was alone in the capital, desolate, so she was often passed on to the palace to speak, and the prince was mentioned from time to time, how could Yan Yiming not understand what the empress meant.
Now is a good day for members of the mid-autumn festival, the queen will definitely not forget her role, or take the opportunity to match her and the prince.
“It’s only natural for the empress to try so hard.” Wei Xiongjie thought of the many rumors he had heard in recent days, thinking that maybe Yan Yiming would be interested, and said,
“The crown prince has been unwilling to marry the main concubine for so many years, and the king of Yue doesn’t even want a side concubine. The queen is inevitably anxious.”
Suddenly hearing the word Yue Wang, Yan Yiming suddenly remembered Nangong Ye’s stubborn eyes when he wrapped the thin silver chain around his hands in the dream, Yan Yiming frowned slightly and answered perfunctorily with a sound,
“indeed.”
Wei Xiongjie didn’t feel Yan Yiming’s rejection, and was still telling Yan Yiming the gossip he had heard recently, “Both the crown prince and the king of Yue were descended from the queen. But they are not close, the Princess knows why?”
Yan Yiming raised his eyelids, then lowered his eyes and said lightly, “I don’t know.”
I don’t want to know either, you go away, Yan Yiming is upset, but Wei Xiongjie is used to Yan Yiming’s sarcastic remarks, and once again he didn’t feel Yan Yiming’s rejection, he was a little excited and said,
“I heard that the crown princess is beautiful. At the beginning, countless noble children fell in love with the crown princess and went to propose marriage, even the fifth prince who had not yet been crowned king of Yue. However, the crown princess threatened to marry only the prince in this life. Later, the crown princess was assassinated to save the prince. Death, the crown prince felt very guilty…”
“Okay, okay.” What a mess, Yan Yiming waved his hand, “Why do you listen to these rumors and talk about business?”
Wei Xiongjie’s face darkened, but he recovered very quickly, “Mid-Autumn Festival, the queen mother thought about the King of Yue’s death and ordered His Majesty to call the King of Yue back to Beijing for a reunion. Since the King of Yue returned to Beijing, it happened to catch all future troubles. As for the princess…”
Speaking of this, Wei Xiongjie paused for a moment before continuing, “For the safety of the princess, I asked the princess to find a way to postpone the family banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
“This matter is simple.” Yan Yiming tapped his fingers on the table twice, “In a few days, order someone to send a message that Princess Lin’an is suffering from the cold and is ill. You can handle the rest.”
She is sick and bedridden, and His Majesty and the Empress will send an imperial doctor here. The Empress may be sincere, but the Emperor will definitely have temptations in his heart.
However, it is no problem to leave such trivial matters to Wei Xiongjie.
Wei Xiongjie had no objection, nodded and left.
Half a month later, Princess Lin’an fell ill in bed due to the wind and cold. The queen was very worried and ordered an imperial doctor to come to check her pulse. Recovery will take a while.
The queen knew the reason why her two sons never married, so compared to others, she was more obsessed with Princess Lin’an, who made her somewhat similar to the one born to the princess.
Since the crown prince is not willing, maybe the youngest son is willing, but who would have thought that Princess Lin’an would be ill at this juncture, but the illness has come down like a mountain, there is no way to do this urgently, and he can only order the imperial doctor to take care of him.
Now that the weather is getting colder, Yan Yiming is also happy to stay at the house and not go out, playing checkers and backgammon with Little Apple, kicking shuttlecock with the maids, and happily unpacking the condolences.
Princess Lin’an fell ill, and those inside and outside the palace sent innumerable tonics, and many caring people deliberately took the opportunity to get close to Princess Lin’an and sent many rare treasures.
Jian Yuyan and Jiang Yi also sent things, but compared to Jian Yuyan’s perfunctory jewellery, Jiang Yi ordered people to make delicate snacks that please her especially, especially since they are delivered every day without repetition.
Yan Yiming used to like pretty jewelry, but no matter how much he likes it, he can’t take it back, and it’s useless to like it. As time goes by, Yan Yiming doesn’t bother to look at these anymore.
In this world, nothing is hers, only the delicious food in her mouth is hers.
Jiang Yi was sitting in front of the table, listening to the steward saying that Princess Lin’an liked it very much, he waved his hand to let the official go down, after a while, a well-dressed guard appeared in the study, and whispered a few words in Jiang Yi’s ear.
The pen in his hand fell on the snow-white paper, leaving mottled marks.
The guard retreated again quietly, Jiang Yi threw himself on the chair, and slowly closed his eyes.
That day when he learned about Jian Yuyan’s past from Jian Yu’er, thinking of those days when he was fooled, Jiang Yi wished that Jian Yuyan would disappear from this world in an instant.
It couldn’t be easier to make him disappear. As an orphan from the previous dynasty, he is enough to die without a burial. As long as he hides the fact that Jian Yuyan once offered a plan, as long as he doesn’t intercede in front of His Majesty, Jian Yuyan will definitely die, and he wholeheartedly wants to protect him. Mrs. Jane and the others also have to die.
But in the end, he kept him, and told His Majesty when His Majesty asked him that Jian Yuyan was not a traitor like Jian Xiang.
No other reason, but because of Yan Yiming.
At the beginning, Jiang Yi was not sure whether what Jian Yuyan did in private was deliberately guided by Yan Yiming, but now that he knows Yan Yiming’s identity, Jiang Yi can be sure that Yan Yiming took advantage of Ah Ming’s identity to deliberately let Jian Yuyan Tell him Jian Xiang’s secret, and deliberately find a way out for him.
She played a big game of chess just to save Jian Yuyan’s life, and how could he have the heart to let her down.
So he still didn’t embarrass Jian Yuyan, and even felt so sad that he was about to collapse.
For so many days, whenever Jiang Yi calmed down, he would think of Jian Yuyan, think of Yan Yiming, and wonder why she had to save Jian Yuyan after trying every possible means. Is it because he remembered the original relationship so he couldn’t bear it? I still want to save his life and finally reconnect with him.
When he first knew that the princess was Ah Ming, Jiang Yi didn’t have much emotion, because Yan Yiming was too indifferent to the prince, and there was no unforgettable memory between the prince and the princess.
But Jian Yuyan is different.
Yan Yiming was protecting him, and she cared about him. Jian Yuer said that Ah Ming once said that she loved Jian Yuyan and even ruined her face for her.
He was jealous, he was angry, but more, he was afraid.
He was afraid that even if it was an encounter she never cared about, there would be someone who would leave a deeper mark on her heart than him.
He was afraid that Yan Yiming would not care, and he was even more afraid that Yan Yiming would care more about others.
No one could have imagined that Jiang Yi, who is currently ranked third, would be afraid, and would read Yan Yiming’s handwriting over and over again at night, trying to numb and convince himself, and in the end he couldn’t bear it anymore and sent his personal guards to investigate.
He heard that Yan Yiming was ill, but the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, Jiang Yi knew she was pretending to be ill, he was really sad, but he still had someone give her her favorite snacks, and the officials said she liked it very much, My heart is also happy.
It was not until just now that I personally defended the words.
He said that after Jian Yuyan got acquainted with the actor, he often went to Meiyuan, and finally stayed in Meiyuan without going back to Xiangfu every night.
For half a year.
The owner of the plum garden was full of pride when he mentioned Yan Yiming. Perhaps in his opinion, it was his credit that the plum garden had such a woman who fascinated Jian Yuyan. The discriminating voice laughed ambiguously, “What happened? Aiyao, you are really interesting. A man and a woman sleep in the same bed every day. What do you think will happen?”
Jiang Yi suddenly couldn’t control himself again, his heart seemed to be dripping with blood suddenly, he couldn’t speak a word because of the pain.
It turned out that they were different, she gave Jian Yuyan even her body, but he was so stingy even when they met for the last time.
Jian Yuyan, why should he.
Let him hurt so much, Jian Yuyan should die.
There is only a thin arc left on the moon in the first day of junior high school. Tomorrow may be cloudy again, and there are not even a few stars. The night seems to be darker and darker than in the past. After taking a bath, Yan Yiming was dressed in unlined clothes, with half-wet and half-dry hair, and then picked up a book as a pastime before going to bed. Seeing something that he couldn’t bear to look at directly, he just froze in place.
Yan Yiming was stunned, put down the book in his hand, “What’s wrong?”
“…a guest has arrived.”
As soon as the words were finished, someone slowly opened the door, Yan Yiming was startled, and was even more confused after seeing who was coming.
Jiang Yi’s snow-white clothes were stained with dirt for some reason, and his hair crown was a little loose. A few strands of long hair fell to the side, looking a little embarrassed, and his clear eyes were a little confused, and he staggered slightly when he walked towards her .
Yan Yiming was so startled that he hurried forward to support him, and Jiang Yi took advantage of the situation and hugged him fully.
There was a maid who heard the movement outside the door and asked her urgently what happened, Yan Yiming said it was okay and asked them to rest earlier, and helped Jiang Yi who was hugging her and did not let go, moved her to the bed with difficulty and said incredulously, “Why are you here? No, how did you get in.”
Jiang Yi buried his face in her neck, “over the wall.”
She can still believe this when Shao Jingyu said it, Jiang Yi has no strength to restrain a chicken, even she can’t beat her, Yan Yiming sneered mercilessly, “You are the only one who can climb over the wall?”
Jiang Yi was silent, and suddenly tightened his grip as if he was becoming angry from embarrassment. After a while, he whispered, “There are hidden guards.”
I knew that Yan Yiming really wanted to laugh when he thought about the scene where Yinwei carried Jiang Yi over the wall, and he seemed to smell a faint smell of alcohol when he lowered his head.
Yan Yiming once saw Jiang Yi drunk. At that time, a sixteen-year-old boy went to the Luming Banquet after knowing Yuan, and when he came back, he looked at her with a red face and blindfolded eyes.
No wonder he found this place somehow, no wonder he was more childish than usual, Yan Yiming suddenly softened his heart, being hugged like this, Yan Yiming bent over was really uncomfortable, his breath was itchy on his neck, Yan Yiming felt helpless Patted Jiang Yi on the back and said warmly, “Let go of me first, I’ll go pour a cup of tea…”
Jiang Yi let go of his hand obediently, Yan Yiming had just stood up straight but was hugged tightly around the waist again, the two of them got closer immediately, Jiang Yi put his face on Yan Yiming’s waist in satisfaction.
That was Jiang Yi’s favorite action in the past, and it was also the familiar intimacy between the two of them.
“No tea,” Jiang Yi said.
Then don’t drink, Yan Yiming patted Jiang Yi’s shoulder, and his hands fell on him naturally. After a long time, when Yan Yiming thought he was asleep, he suddenly heard his slightly hoarse voice,
He said, are you a fox fairy that shouldn’t exist in the world, that’s why he can’t forget it so much? Yan Yiming’s heart trembled slightly, but he continued,
“Are you a fox fairy who has gone down to earth for a long time, so you just passed by my world for a short time. To you, I am just an insignificant past…”
The hands on his shoulders were a little stiff, Yan Yiming wanted to stop him from speaking, but Jiang Yi spoke so quickly and naturally.
“I am your dispensable past, but to me, you are all I have been pursuing all my life.”
So my humble request, if it is possible, can I pass by again like before, can I stay a few days longer than that time, when you leave again, I can recall my life, and I will have no regrets in this life.
