Lin Banxia was pinched by his slightly cool fingertips, and was forced to look at him. She frowned and felt that when He Ruojin was staring at her like this, a sense of oppression fell for no reason, making her breathe Not daring to speak out, she opened her eyes wide, as if she had thought about it seriously, then drooped her eyelashes, and replied in a gentle voice: "My husband will never treat me badly."

When she said this, although her tone was as gentle and soft as ever, she couldn't hear the slightest ups and downs of emotion.

He Ruojin probably didn't expect her to answer like this, and said with a blank face, "Really?"

Lin Banxia lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Maybe I was still afraid that even this sentence would be a proverb, so I didn't say anything at all.

Fortunately, He Ruojin didn't make things difficult for her, and immediately let go of her hand, and looked out of the car window calmly.

Lin Banxia silently looked at the stern lines of He Ruojin's profile, looked at it for a while, then lowered her head, not knowing what to do, so she played with her fingers while listening to the dull sound of the carriage rolling over the gravel road.

After a long while, He Ruojin's voice suddenly came from above his head, "You know very well how our marriage came about, so I can only be polite to you, this is my respect for you, not my I hate you so much."

Lin Banxia was stunned for a while, then raised her head and asked, "Husband...does he respect me if he doesn't touch me?"

He Ruojin gave her a cold look: "Do you really want to be bumped by someone casually?"

Lin Banxia blinked her eyes, shook her head, and summoned up the courage to refute him with disapproval, "But my husband is not someone else."

"That's just because there is an extra marriage letter between you and me, otherwise I am no different from others."

"Between husband and wife..." Lin Banxia planned to read to He Ruojin the rhetoric that her mother had taught her, but just as she started, He Ruojin glanced at her again. He didn't say anything, but Lin Banxia shut up immediately and didn't say any more.

But she still felt much better in her heart than before, because at least this time, He Ruojin was willing to explain to her, and also said so many things to her, which proved one thing, all the things she had paid Hard work is quite useful, she treats He Ruojin well, and He Ruojin is not really a heartless person, there will always be a day when she will be moved by her.

For example, now, wouldn't He Ruojin treat her a little better?

It doesn't matter, he doesn't admit that they are husband and wife now, but he will admit it one day.

Lin Banxia thinks about the future between them very well, and she believes that it will get better step by step.

The next day, unfortunately, not long after Ji Xili left the palace, there was a drizzle outside, and the air was damp and cold in the chilly spring season.

Ji Xili only brought a maid out of the palace, and asked the coachman to go out of the city according to the address given by Fade Chen.

Li Yu lived quite far away, probably because he was afraid of being found, but he had already shown up to find He Ruojin, so it would be difficult for Fade Chen not to find him.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at several mountain households near the foot of the mountain outside the city.

It's still early, and after getting off the carriage, you can see the rising smoke from the kitchen, spreading out among the clouds and mist in the mountains and forests.

Ji Xili asked the maid and the coachman to wait there, she held up an umbrella and walked over.

Due to the rain, the small stone steps on the mountain road were wet and slippery, so when Ji Xili was walking, he had to be extremely careful.

She came to Li Yu's house, stood outside the door for a moment, and knocked on the door.

Ji Xili waited for a long time before he heard a cough coming from inside. After a while, the door was opened from the inside. Li Yu was only wearing a thin black robe. When he looked up, he saw Ji Xili standing outside the door. , his eyes were silent for a moment, but his expression didn't change in particular, he just bowed his head slightly to salute Ji Xili.

"Can I go in, can I?" Ji Xili glanced at him lightly and asked.

Li Yu nodded, made way for Ji Xili, and led her into the courtyard.

Ji Xili looked around his yard, it was very clean, but it was too clean, it didn't look alive at all, and it didn't look like someone lived there.

After entering the house, Ji Xili looked at him again, "Pour me a cup of tea, I'm thirsty all the way here."

Li Yu went to get a clean new teacup and poured Ji Xili a cup of hot tea.

Ji Xili took it and took a few sips, then said casually, "You sit down too."

However, after Li Yu sat down, he was silent for a moment, but he took the initiative to speak, and said slowly: "I will leave Beicheng as soon as possible, please rest assured, empress."

"Not in a hurry." Ji Xili put down his teacup, paused for a while, and finally looked at Li Yu, "I want to ask you, since your life is safe, why did you come back? What are you coming back for?"

Li Yudan said: "I didn't come back to see the little princess. Li Yu knew he had no face to face the little princess, so he didn't dare to appear in front of the little princess."

Ji Xili stared at him, and directly asked his guess: "So you really want to trouble General He?"

As soon as those three words were mentioned, Li Yu's expression turned a little colder, "He said he would protect the princess for the rest of his life, but in the blink of an eye he married someone else."

"Then what if I tell you that Cheng Ling took the initiative to break off the marriage with He Ruojin?"

Hearing this, Li Yu was slightly taken aback, unable to speak for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he slowly frowned and said, "The little princess clearly told me..."

She said that only when she is with He Ruojin can she be happy.

"I don't care what Chengling told you, but this is the truth. I'm not afraid that you will think bad things again when I tell you this, but I just want you to realize that whether there is He Ruojin or not, Chengling is your own fault." Yes, no one can regret it for you, there are some things that can be made up for, but once you hurt your feelings, even if you do everything possible to make up for it, the wound will always stay there, even if it heals, it will leave a trace there." Ji Xili said.

Li Yuwei frowned, and listened to Ji Xili's words quietly. In the end, he didn't make any excuses. He said "Yes", nodded slowly and said, "I understand."

"I know that you have now realized your mistake, and I am very grateful that you saved Chengling's life earlier, but there is one thing you did wrong. You shouldn't have lied to Chengling and made her think that you were dead. Not to mention In terms of whether Chengling has you in her heart, in her opinion, she killed you, and you thought you were dead, but to Shengling, it is a psychological burden for a lifetime."

Li Yuwei raised the corners of his eyes, vaguely mocking himself, but still asked quietly: "Then what does the Empress want Li Yu to do?"

Ji Xili stared at him, and after a while said: "You are willing to do whatever I ask you to do, right?"
