On the night of the Spring Lantern Festival, Jiang Li met Ji Heng, whom she had not seen for a long time, at the gate of Qinglianfang in Tongxiang.
For a whole year, I have experienced a spring, autumn, winter and summer. I have cried and laughed, and I have also felt sad. I thought there would be no possibility of meeting each other again in this life, but fortunately, God has mercy on me and given the lover another chance.
The four words "lost and found" made me feel lucky to have survived a disaster.
After the initial lingering and excitement, it was time to settle accounts.
In Xue's house, in Jiang Li's boudoir, Jiang Li rudely drove out all the people who came to watch the excitement. She threw Ji Heng into her room.
Ji Heng was not annoyed, and smoothed the wrinkles on her sleeves leisurely. Then he looked at the furnishings in the room and sighed, "Ali, your boudoir doesn't look like a place for girls to live."
Although Jiang Li was not a daughter of a general and loved to wield swords and weapons, she didn't have any embroidery or exquisite gadgets that ordinary girls had. It wasn't that Xue Huaiyuan was unwilling to buy her, but compared to those, Jiang Li preferred Xue Zhao to take her to see novelties. It was not her habit to store some beautiful things around her, which was exactly the opposite of Ji Heng.
"Stop talking nonsense." Jiang Li said unhappily. She sat down at the table, not even pouring tea for Ji Heng, and went straight to the point, saying: "You didn't die in a year, why didn't you show up? Where were you this year? Even if it's inconvenient for you to show up, at least you can find someone to inform me. If you don't say anything like this, everyone will think you are really dead, I..." She couldn't say anything.
She was calm on the surface, but she had no way to vent her inner panic. There was still a glimmer of hope, but this glimmer of hope was so slim that people dared not hope that it would really succeed. Such days are really sad and hard to endure.
"I'm sorry, Ali." He sighed, stretched out his hand, and wiped away the tears from the corners of Jiang Li's eyes. Jiang Li realized that she had shed tears unconsciously. This is really frustrating. Now it seems that only Ji Heng can easily make her cry. The hateful things he did is not as hateful as Shen Yurong, so people can't hate him, but feel more distressed.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. In fact, after I woke up, I tried to find a way to return to Yanjing City. I originally planned to see you. But..." He paused and whispered, "The emperor made a bet with you. I don't want you to lose, so I can only not see you for the time being."
Jiang Li was surprised: "Your Majesty?"
Ji Heng touched her hair and said, "Yes."
It turned out that on the day on Qimin Mountain, Ji Heng's old illness really relapsed. The arrow wound he was hit by when he was surrounded by Yin Zhili before was very deep. Ji Heng had been holding on all those days, but he couldn't hold on that day, and was secretly plotted by Yin Zhili's deputy general, and fell off his horse. He was chased and mistakenly fell into the trap of the hunter on the mountain. He used his last strength to kill the group of wolves outside the trap, and then lost consciousness and fainted.
At that moment, Ji Heng really thought that it was impossible for him to go back alive this time. He was full of reluctance and nostalgia, not for this world, but for his girl. For this world, his relatives left him one by one, and only Jiang Li was the one he couldn't let go. If Jiang Li knew that he was dead, that silly girl would be very sad.
Perhaps it was because of this concern that Ji Heng tried desperately to keep himself alive until he was discovered by a hunter who came to the mountain to search for prey.
