The fire in Yangxin Palace Hall was only put out the next morning. Thick white smoke filled the air. When Lang Po and his men rushed in, they only saw charred wooden stakes and charred corpses that were too horrible to look at. He was
Frantically searching through the ruins, shouting "Your Highness!" But in the end, they only found Jing Rong's armor, not his corpse.
However, Yangxin Palace Hall was on fire and the side door was sealed. There was no way to escape. Moreover, Jing Rong had already been stabbed by a sword and the beam had fallen on his head.
There was no way he could have survived!
But if that was the case, where did his corpse go?
For the past few days, they searched again and again, almost turning the entire palace and Gaoding City upside down. They also interrogated the palace maids and eunuchs, but there were no clues.
They even sent people out of the city to search and put up portraits, but they couldn't find a single trace.
Some people said that the corpse might have been burnt to ashes!
But this was just self-deception!
Because everyone knew that human bones couldn't be burned to ashes by an ordinary fire!
So, Ji Yunshu waited for three days.
Three days of heartache.
But in the end, what was placed in front of her was still that blood-stained armor.
Even though people told her that the chances of Jing Rong's survival were … too small.
But she stubbornly believed that he was still alive!
As the saying goes, if he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse.
But Jing Rong, where did you go?
…
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom increased the manpower to search from the inside to the outside of the city.
But because it was the national mourning period, they couldn't make a big fuss. Moreover, Jing Rong was a prince of the Great Lin, so this matter couldn't be spread out.
During the national mourning period, the affairs of the Huyi court gradually stabilized.
Everything was on the right track!
Bai Yin was the heir to the throne. In a few days, she would wear the imperial robe.
These days, besides worrying about Jing Rong's whereabouts, he was also worried about his own future.
The throne was already set!
He couldn't choose to withdraw at this time.
But the conflict and hesitation in his heart never lessened.
He was in the backyard of the Marquis's mansion, standing in the pavilion. In front of him was the frozen lake.
The snow was still falling.
It filled the sky.
He gradually became lost in thought …
Until someone approached him from behind!
Lian Que silently walked to his side. She stared at the frozen surface of the lake in front of her without saying a word.
After a long time …
Bai Yin tilted her head and asked, "How is Yunshu?"
Lian Que sighed and said, "We're still waiting!"
Then, Bai Yin sighed and said firmly, "Since the body has not been found, the person must still be alive. I believe that Jing Rong will be fine. "
"But Guard Lang saw it with his own eyes. Prince Rong's chest was pierced by a sword and the roof beam was smashed down. Even if his whereabouts are unknown, to survive …" It was too difficult! The last three words were stuck in his throat.
He couldn't bear it!
Back then, he repeatedly told himself that Ah Jin was definitely still alive, but everyone told him that Ah Jin was already dead.
Therefore, he was very clear about the feeling of having hope snuffed out by others.
Bai Yin asked, "Do you believe in fate?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Jing Rong and Yunshu have experienced too much. Their lives have long been tied together. Neither of them can leave the other. They are two lives!"
"What do you mean?"
Bai Yin looked at him and said earnestly, "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Jing Rong will do his best to live for Yunshu. Because he knows that if he dies, Yunshu won't be able to live either!"
Lian Que didn't have a deep understanding of Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu's relationship, but from Bai Yin's words, it must be unforgettable and unswerving!
He fell into silence.
Bai Yin said, "Isn't life supposed to have a belief? Just like that year when I woke up in that forest, the only belief in my heart was to know who I am! I didn't expect that I would wait for more than twenty years. "
He smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, Lian Que frowned and said softly with a hint of sadness, "Isn't it the same for me?"
Bai Yin was startled and glanced at him.
All these years, the belief that supported Bai Yin to continue living was to unravel the mystery of her birth.
And Lian Que's belief was to wait … and find his Ah Jin!
This wait also lasted for more than twenty years.
Lian Que looked at the frozen surface of the lake and suddenly remembered what happened in the past.
He couldn't help but smile and said, "Ah Jin, do you remember … when you were five years old, you insisted on dragging me to the bottom of the lake to catch fish for you?"
'Catch fish?
I don't remember! '
Bai Yin shook her head. "I remember that the weather was also like this at that time, and it was also in the first month! There was a thick layer of ice on the surface of the lake. You insisted on dragging me here and told me that you saw a golden carp at the bottom of the lake. You were so happy that you wanted me to help you fish it up. I had no choice since I've never been able to refuse you! In the end, after a lot of effort, I finally managed to break a piece of ice. I went into the water several times with my upper body bare before I finally caught the fish for you. At that time, you were very happy and even said that you wanted to bring the fish back to the palace and raise it in your room. However, I fell seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed for a month. When the Marquis found out about this, he forbade you from coming back to the estate. But you still secretly came to see me and brought me a lot of food from the palace.
After that one month, I almost became a big fatty because of you. "
Lian Que would always smile when he recalled the events of that time.
Bai Yin tried to imagine the scene as she listened to the story.
She couldn't help but smile.
"Am I that naughty?"
"You're not just naughty. If you had a pair of wings, you might have flown into the sky by now. "
"..." Bai Yin.
Does that mean that if I had a shovel, I would have been able to burrow into the ground?
Lian Que continued to talk about the events of the past.
Interesting ones, happy ones, sad ones …
He wished that he could tell Bai Yin everything that had happened in the past in great detail.
Hopefully, he would remember some of the events of the past!
However, at the end of his story, Lian Que's eyes welled up with tears …
He took a deep breath.
He could not continue.
"Ah Jin, if … I had arrived at the palace in time back then, would we have been separated for so long?" Lian Que's eyes welled up with tears.
Bai Yin replied, "All I can say is that life is unpredictable!"
Both of them fell silent!
No one said anything else …
Just as Lian Que was about to leave, Bai Yin called out to him.
Hmm?
In the blink of an eye, a sword appeared in Bai Yin's hand.
That was the sword he had given to Lian Que many years ago!
"You've left this sword in the Second Prince's Mansion. I've found it for you."
He handed the sword over personally and said, "Didn't you say that you would always use this sword to protect me? I hope that this promise will never change in this lifetime. "
Ah!
Lian Que's pupils dilated, his face filled with joy.
His heart, however, was filled with shock.
Tears immediately flowed from his eyes!
