Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 61
Sadness and stubbornness flashed across the man's eyes, and he turned to look at Ji Liangruo: "What's your name?"

"I..." Ji Liangruo was a little scared, and took a step back.

Qin Yunyao reached out to stop her behind, and told the guards: "Let him speak! If he doesn't speak, he will be tortured!" Then he said softly to Liang Ruo, "Let's go back."

"Okay..." Liang Ruo nodded and went to push the wheelchair.

"Liangruo..." the man called out.

She stopped involuntarily, and Qin Yunyao also turned to look at him.

"Is your name Liang Ruo?" the man asked, stretching his right hand forward so hard that his wrist was bleeding from the chain.An earring protruded from his palm, and a pearl on the pendant shone warmly.

What image flashed through Ji Liangruo's mind, like a pearl hanging below the ear, beating back and forth on the neck...

She looked up at the unkempt, bearded man, she couldn't possibly recognize him!

"Do you recognize wish fulfillment?" he asked.

She was startled.

As wished!

"As I wish..." He closed his eyes, and a crystal tear overflowed from the corner of his eyes, "As I wish..."

Ji Liangruo trembled all over, his face turned pale.

"Sister-in-law?" Qin Yunwei supported her worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Qin Yunyao turned to look at her, reached out and patted her hand, woke her up, and said softly, "Let's go."

"Yeah." She nodded and pushed him forward.

The man in the prison suddenly struggled a few times like a madman, and a few stones rustled from the place where the chain was embedded on the wall.

"Do you know her?" he yelled.

Ji Liangruo, who was walking, couldn't help but turn around and looked at him with complicated eyes.

"Do you know her..." he asked, looking at her closely, wanting to ask for an answer.

She looked at his anxious look, wanted to answer but refused to answer.In the end, she turned her head resolutely and pushed Qin Yunyao away.

Seeing her disappear, the man lost strength from his body, and slowly knelt on the ground, looked at the earring in his hand, and murmured: "I wish..."

Bixiaoyuan.

Qin Yunwei lay at the study window looking at Qin Yunyao and Ji Liangruo who were under the bamboo forest outside.Who is that assassin?It seems that I know my sister-in-law.

Ji Liangruo lay down on the stone table in a daze, Qin Yunyao quietly finished a cup of tea, and reached out to touch her face.

She blinked, looked at him, and smiled.

"Don't laugh if you can't smile, it's ugly." He said.

When she heard it, she suddenly flattened her mouth, as if she was about to cry.

"Hey, don't cry!" he yelled urgently, "I just want to make you feel better, don't force a smile—especially in front of me. In front of me, you can say whatever you are sad or happy, no need to pretend."

She grabbed his hand, buried half of her face in his palm, and looked at him intently: "You saw it just now... What do you think?"

"I think he must have something to do with you, but I can't think of it."

Ji Liangruo sighed heavily and didn't speak.

"I remember that Ruji was originally named Ru?" he asked.

Ji Liangruo nodded, and shed tears: "My mother's name is Ru Yuan, and her name is Ru Yi. If the assassin named me and my mother by name, wouldn't it be too self-deceiving if he said it was a coincidence?"

"Then do you want to ask him?" He asked softly, "Listen to his tone, fulfilling your wish is very important. If you ask him, he will definitely tell you everything."

"Do you want me to ask by the way who sent him?"

"Hey..." He sighed, "Where are you thinking? I won't use you. It doesn't matter who sent him, what matters is you."

Ji Liangruo pressed his hand tightly on the stone table, rested his head on it, and said in a muffled voice: "I understand...then I must ask. If you use me, I won't ask; if you treat me sincerely, I would do anything for you."

"You just need to do one thing."

"what?"

"Take care of yourself. In any case. Of course, I will too. Because, I can't bear your pain, and you can't bear my pain. We can only take care of ourselves and reduce the pain."

They sat at the stone table for a long time, and they didn't get up until the lunch hour.

Seeing them moving, Qin Yunwei in the study got up and greeted them: "I know you're upset, but I have to remind you of something?"

"What's the matter?" Qin Yunyao asked.

"Dongyue!" she said, "Now that we lock her up, we have to give a plausible explanation. The important thing is not the people in the house, I'm afraid it's the queen mother. The owl didn't fly back last night, the queen mother must have suspected it. Now Eunuch Wang is at the mansion, I'm afraid he is also suspicious!"

Ji Liangruo sighed: "You're right. I thought Dongyue would be easy to deal with, so I said she stole my things and was seen by the lord, and then punished by the lord. But think about it, this can only be said to people in the mansion , the queen mother will not believe it. In her eyes, Dongyue is on the same boat as me, and will not steal my things. Moreover, even if it is punished for other things, unless it is dead or imprisoned, otherwise, Even if she is kicked out of the mansion, she will definitely return to her side... I really can't make up a seamless story all at once."

Qin Yunyao said: "What are you worrying about so much? The big deal is tearing your face! But I think, the Queen Mother should not dare to do that now. So, if you confess the truth to her, she will only suffer from being dumb now!"

"But she feels uncomfortable, she will deal with us sooner or later!"

He snorted: "It will not be certain who will deal with who at that time!"

Hearing what he said, the two women stopped talking.

After dinner, Qin Yunyao and Ji Liangruo went to the dungeon again.Qin Yunwei wanted to go with him, but Qin Yunyao had no choice but to agree, but asked Xun'er and Pengshu to go back to Jingyue Courtyard, and only Mo Yan was the attendant.

The four of them walked halfway, when they suddenly heard the voice of a woman singing, they couldn't help but stop curiously.

Mo Yan glanced at the direction the voice came from, and said, "It's Yonghuaju, the place where Ruixue Xiaoji lives."

Qin Yunyao remembered that he was also a spy, so he said, "Go and have a look."

The four of them went to Yonghuaju, the singing became clearer as they got closer, and then they saw a white figure flying out from under the canopy of the big tree, and then flew back the same way.

She is swinging.

"Peach blossoms, scorching its flowers. The son returns home, suitable for his family..."

This song is beautiful and intoxicating.

Qin Yunwei murmured: "It's really nice..."

The swing stopped slowly, Ruixue put one foot on the ground, then turned her head, leaned on the flower vine tied to the swing, giggled and said: "Who am I, the prince, princess, and princess are all here, Ruixue How can I thank you for your kindness?"

Qin Yunyao narrowed his eyes, he had never looked at this woman carefully, but she was a beauty.The Queen Mother must have chosen her because of her beauty, right?The queen mother back then didn't expect that he would not ask or touch, she must have expected her, presumably it was carefully cultivated!

"Accidents happened one after another in the mansion, and you fell down here and sang?" He asked with a sullen face.

She smiled and said, "Otherwise? I think it will be me next. It's okay to live happily, but also to live sadly. Anyway, it's just such a few days, why do you want to have a hard time with yourself?"

Qin Yunyao snorted coldly: "I didn't expect you to have such understanding!"

Ruixue swayed on the swing and said, "But I don't want to die..."

"You want to live?" Qin Yunyao asked with a smile, "Only those who are useful can survive."

Ruixue jumped off the swing, walked over, and said blessedly: "The prince must know that I am a secret agent sent by the queen mother, so I will not play charades with you! I really want to seek refuge with the prince. The prince can doubt my sincerity, but he can't." Denying me is of use to you!"

"Useful? How do you see it?"

Ruixue smiled confidently: "The prince caught Dongyue and the owl delivering the letter. Now he must be afraid that the queen mother will know the truth! The princess has already taken refuge in you, which means that the queen mother has one less spy by your side, but you have more by her side." A spy! If Dongyue’s affairs are exposed and your face is torn, it is not a major loss? Even if you have no intention of using the princess, it doesn’t matter if she can get information from the queen mother, but Ruji and the eighth princess are not important? Not to you Important, but not important to the princess?"
