The lanterns were also wet at the gate of the government house. Zhao Ke stopped the carriage, Tong Er opened the oil paper umbrella, helped Jiang Li out of the carriage, and walked to the government house together.

The flowers in the flowerbeds of the government house are getting more and more charming after a continuous drizzle. It seems that the layer of frost in winter has also been drenched. Hurry up, showing the original gorgeous appearance. Walking in it, it seems that you are not on earth.

In the birdcage at the door, Xiaohong was standing on the branches, squinting her eyes, her head hidden in feathers, and she was sleeping soundly. Because of this, she didn't scream at the sight of Jiang Li.

Wen Jishou was outside Ji Chen's study. Seeing Zhao Ke bringing Jiang Li, he said to Jiang Li, "adults are in the study."

Jiang Li nodded. Bai Xue and tong'er stayed outside. Jiang Li pushed the door and went in.

In the study, the window was closed and the light was on. Outside, there was the sound of rain, and inside, there were flickering lights. Jiang Li closed the door, so the last cool breeze disappeared from the house.

Ji Chen sat at the table. He was lazy. His red robe reached the ground, revealing a corner embroidered with complicated patterns. Under the light, it was like flowing jewelry, and his eyes were more moving than gemstones. His long eyes were slightly narrowed, which was his amorous.

After Jiang Li walked into the room, his eyes glanced at Jiang Li, slightly stunned.

Today's Jiang Li is very different in dress and makeup from the past. She used to be a pure and pure Qingling girl. Now she looks, but she has more bright and beautiful colors, strange costumes, strange makeup, and has become a strange woman.

It's not like the snow-white pear flowers in early March, with a touch of sweetness, but like the peach color hidden in the mountains in April, a charming style.

But the clarity and stubbornness in those eyes seem to have not changed from beginning to end.

He stood up, raised his eyebrows and said, "you look very different today."

Jiang Li smiled, "really?"

She wore it on purpose. She went to see Princess Yongning, but ended this gratitude and resentment. She couldn't use the identity of Miss Jiang er. She had to become Xue Fangfei. Xue Fangfei made the mistake that year. To make up for it, it is naturally up to Xue Fangfei to end it. She used Xue Fangfei's soul to talk to Princess Yongning. As for Princess Yongning's shock, fear and nightmare after she left, it had nothing to do with Jiang Li.

"The Duke asked Zhao Ke to let me come, but what's the matter?" Jiang Li inquired.

Ji Chen let her go so late, perhaps to fulfill the agreement, but Jiang Li faintly felt that Ji Chen was not such a anxious person. At least after Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong were executed, they would not take the initiative to raise this matter.

Ji Xuan approached her. He was very tall. The shadow cast by his figure covered Jiang Li. From the shadow reflected in the window, it seemed as if two people were close.

He asked, "you just came out of the prison of the Ministry of punishment and went to see Princess Yongning?"

Jiang Li said, "yes." Since Zhao Ke is waiting for him outside, he must have known about it long ago and specially came to wait for her, so Ji Heng knows about it, and Jiang Li is not surprised.

Ji Hu nodded. His hands are bony, slender and white. Playing with the folding fan in his hands, he looks down at Jiang Li. His eyes are bright and moving, and his lips have a puzzling smile, but his voice is completely clear.

He asked, "why does she call you 'Xue Fangfei'?"

Jiang Li was shocked and suddenly looked up. He heard it!

Ji Heng's people, did they hear the conversation between Princess Yongning and her in the potential prison?

The girl's eyes opened slightly, and her eyes were too clear, so that there was no escape for a moment of panic and helplessness inside. The young man was as beautiful as the spirit in the drama, and even his behavior was with demagogic elegance. He gently held the fan against her chin, so that she had to raise her head and look directly at the amber eyes that could penetrate the hearts of the people.

He looked at Jiang Li, smiled, and sighed in a low, thrilling tone.

Ji Xuan said, "you are really not a ginger pear."

You really are not Jiang Li.

As the end of this sentence disappeared into the air, he pressed step by step, and Jiang Li slowly retreated until his back touched the desk behind him, unavoidable. She unconsciously leaned back, and was held by Ji Heng's hand, so that she wouldn't fall back.

He still knew that even though he had been indulgent, helpful and even considerate to her during this period of time, he never stopped doubting her in his heart. Others thought he was in the play. Maybe he was in that moment, but he could get away at any time, calm, sharp and smart.

Perhaps he never trusted anyone from beginning to end, nor did he give trust to others.

Just like his ambiguous and intimate posture at the moment, the corners of his lips are smiling and gentle, but his eyes are so cold.

Jiang Li closed her eyes. She heard her calm and gentle voice ringing in the room: "the Lord of the country once made an agreement with me. Now that the thing is finished, you can fulfill the agreement. It's time to return this life to the Lord of the country."

She didn't answer Ji Heng's question, but let Ji Heng fulfill the agreement, so at this time, it sounded like a provocation, or an undisguised one.

Ji Heng's eyes darkened, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became more and more confused. The handle of the fan on his hand gently moved from Jiang Li's chin to Jiang Li's throat.

She was born thin and weak, even her throat was thin, like a white crane strangled by her neck, and there was a kind of sad and beautiful vulnerability for a moment. But she was fearless. Her expression was calm, and there was no trace of panic. She was determined to die.

Ji Heng is not a person who likes to ask "why". He has figured out the answer to many things at the beginning. He doesn't like accidents out of control. If this matter has not been clarified in the end, he will not be persistent, but pout on it.

The so-called "if you can't find a solution to something, solve it".

So the hand holding the handle of the fan, which is white and slender, seems to be supposed to pick up the chess pieces and tea cups. The hand of Fenghuaxueyue, slowly tightened.

Jiang Li felt the coldness of her neck and seemed to smell death. The smell of death is about the same as that of Ji Heng, with a cool fragrance, astringent.

Ji Heng's eyes fell under the handle of the fan and on the pendant.

The fan pendant is as red as blood, and the butterfly spreads its wings to fly. There is an inexplicable fit between the red butterfly and the white skin. Ji Xuan looked at it, and her eyes moved slightly.

Then, Jiang Li felt that the cold handle of the fan was still against her throat, but her ear suddenly sounded a low dumb voice, "your life, I don't want it."

There was a slightly itchy touch in her ears, and her breath was close to her ears. Jiang Li hurriedly opened her eyes in surprise, and saw his slightly sideways face.

The man's side face can't pick out any flaws. Every time I look at it, I feel the beauty is thrilling. After he finished speaking, he didn't open the distance with Jiang Li, but still smiled. Looking at her from a commanding side, it only took a little, maybe a millimetre, for Jiang Li's mouth to touch his face, maybe his lips.

She was stunned and did not dare to move. However, this picture was like a deer startled by a hunter in a deep mountain. She stood in situ in surprise, dazed and nervous, and her past alertness was all gone.

"In exchange," he said with great interest, "tell the truth and don't lie. How about it, huh?"

He stared at Jiang Li tightly. Jiang Li was almost overwhelmed. Under such eyes, anyone with a heart of stone could not help but be moved. Knowing that his whole body was full of danger, he was still confused by his momentary tenderness, like a fire moth, recklessly crashing into the ashes.

"I..."

"I'll take it as a promise." He smiled and took back the handle of the fan. By the way, he reached out and pinned a strand of hair hanging in front of Jiang Li in the back.

Jiang Li was very uncomfortable, and her cheeks were hot. She had to focus on the gold button on Ji Hong's robe. The edges of the button were carved with complicated patterns, gorgeous and cold.

"I can tell the Lord everything he wants to know, but I'm afraid he won't believe what I said, but thinks I'm lying." Jiang Li looked up at him.

He also used a kind of serious, almost naive, gentle, as if he would believe everything she said without hesitation. With that kind of affectionate eyes, he slowly said, "No. everything you say, I believe you."

Jiang Li was slightly stunned.

His eyes were so serious and so close that she could see each other's long eyelashes and small red moles in the corners of her eyes. She even had an impulse to touch them. However, she soon restrained herself. She didn't know that the heartbeat at this moment was because Ji Hesheng was too beautiful and gentle, which confused her for a moment, but she knew that the deer in her heart would stop fluttering and become rational and calm again after leaving this room.

"If you believe it, I'll tell you." She tried not to distinguish her tone.

Ji Hu looked at her for a moment, slowly released her hand, and Jiang Li was relieved and stood up straight. Ji Xuan pointed to the desk with a fan. There was a pot of tea and two cups on it. He said, "sit down."

It has returned to its previous carelessness.

He always gets away very quickly.

Jiang Li calmed down, walked to the table and sat down. It was probably because of some nervousness. This time, before Ji Heng started, she poured herself a cup of tea. He took a sip of the tea cup.

In the rainy night, hot tea quickly calmed her panic, discomfort, excitement and hesitation since Fang Cai entered the house, and calmed her again.

Ji Xuan smiled at her and sat down opposite her. Jiang Li stared at his bright red robe, and his eyes were almost dazzled by the golden silk thread on his head.

He asked, "what's your name?"

Jiang Li: "Xue Fangfei."
