Chapter 3298: The God in My Heart: The Princess’s Yandere Musician (49)

The girl slowly stood up, her figure swayed for a moment, her steps staggered but she soon stood firm: "Lin Xi thanks you, young master."

"I'll take the jade pendant." Ning Guzhi looked at the girl's slightly swaying figure, frowned slightly, picked up the blood-stained jade pendant on the table, his fingers were particularly slender and distinct, "Don't worry about the Lin family's affairs, I will solve it."

"Remember." The boy tilted his eyes, his eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting, and he was young and romantic. He looked lazy and half-smiled when he slightly hooked his lips. He was mysterious and unpredictable, always revealing the alienation and coldness in his bones. The voice he said was light: "I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself."

Lin Xi's eyes reflected the shadow of the boy, and his eyes were burned by the light.

But young master.

You did all this while you were doing it.

But you happened to help Lin Xi.

After Ning Guzhi left the study, he lowered his eyes to look at the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes were very deep, and then he threw it directly to the dark guard next to him.

No emotion could be heard from his tone.

Still with a cynical and casual look, he inadvertently revealed a sense of dignity and solemnity.

"Avoid others and send it to Princess Xizhao's mansion." Ning Guzhi pondered for a moment, narrowed his narrow and beautiful eyes, and slowly smiled: "Just say... my gift to the emperor."

There will always be various choices in one's life.

There is no retreat on the road to imperial power.

He has no intention of power, but who is sitting on the throne.

He always has to take a gamble.

It's time to officially stand in line.

He believes that the result will not disappoint him.

…

Princess Xizhao's mansion.

After Ran Bai came back, the dark guard personally handed over the jade pendant.

The princess stared at the jade pendant for a few times, her eyebrows were calm, her temperament was absorbed, and she was unfathomable: "Tell your master. This gift, this palace likes it very much."

The dark guard responded and left quietly.

"What is this?" Feng Luo licked his paw and asked.

"A gift." Ran Bai chuckled, doing whatever he wanted.

Feng Luo: "..."

This is a gift, do I need to ask? ?

But Ran Bai didn't want to say more, so Feng Luo didn't ask again.

The subordinates of the princess's mansion asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you need to continue to follow up on the prince's movements?"

"No." Ran Bai put the jade pendant aside, his pupils were very deep, and the color was like the abyss, "Retreat."

The study was very quiet and indifferent,

The sun couldn't penetrate the ice in the princess's eyes.

…

Under the strong recommendation of Prince Ning Chengjie, Li Yuan led his army to support the border.

It was around May when the 100,000 troops left the capital.

Now

At the end of May, the pear blossoms fell and the green leaves decorated the mottled branches, and the summer that followed gave birth to colorful flowers.

It was August.

In just three months.

But the court received several bad news in succession.

All of them were urgent war reports about the defeat in the border war and the enemy's straight advance.

The emperor was furious in the court, reprimanding Li Yuan several times, and even the crown prince Ning Chengjie, who had recommended Li Yuan with great confidence, was implicated and could not get a good face in front of the emperor.

The end of August.

Confident and arrogant when leaving, embarrassed when returning.

Li Yuan returned to Kyoto with the remnants of the army, and he did not look as proud and confident as he did when he left the capital in May.

The emperor scolded Li Yuan in public and dismissed him from his post.

Ning Chengjie did not dare to look up, for fear of being implicated again, and could not say anything good for Li Yuan.

The princess was wearing a dark red court dress, sharp and noble. At this moment, she watched such a scene indifferently, still without any expression, and was always unpredictable.
