Reality and Dreams (II)

The atmosphere in the castle has been a little nervous recently. Jingyan told her not to go out at will. He was like a half-circle ban and asked Qiao Qiao to report to him when he went out. Qiao Qiao nodded silently, and felt a little upset whenever he saw him.

Maybe the shadow left in the dream was too big that whenever Jingyan approached Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao could remember Heming's scream.

She had seen Jing Yan's methods, and she couldn't help but think of Jing Qiao who was imprisoned in a heavy prison in the book and endured Jing Yan's long torture. So what was she like at that time?

When it was reported that Jing Yu was about to be crowned the king of the ancient castle, the news that Jing Rui personally went to the army to assemble the army also spread.

Qiao Qiao looked down from the window and saw that the castle was full of patrol soldiers. She also came to Lingshan once during the period. The two looked at each other from a distance. She followed Jingyan, her eyebrows and eyes were full of fatigue.

"Miss Qiao Qiao, Pei Die is here to find you again."

When Shui'er came in, Qiao Qiao was gently wiping the mirror with a wet cloth.

"Are you... still missing her?

She has been here many times, and she is the daughter of the Minister of External Relations Department. It seems that it is not good for us to do this, right?"

“…”

"Miss Qiao Qiao, Pei Die has been waiting outside for more than an hour."

Qiao Qiao said nothing, clenched the wet cloth in her hand and continued to wipe the charred area of ​​the mirror.

After the incident of Peidie, Qiao Qiao could no longer believe anyone in the castle.

But others are not trustworthy, and Jingyan must be more careful. After all, she doesn't want to reappear the tragedy in the book. Even though this man is very nice to her now, the plot of the future is unknown. Moreover, facing Jingyan who is becoming increasingly dark, she couldn't help but feel a sense of panic in her heart.

When love and fear exist at the same time, this complex relationship began to make Qiao Qiao not know how to face Jingyan.

[Host, don't wipe it, Jingyan is nearby.

】

Qiao Qiao's thoughts were withdrawn by the spirit of the book, and his movements were paused, and his upset heart immediately became known because of this sentence.

She sat in front of the mirror and didn't move. She didn't know how to face Jingyan for a moment. Until Jingyan walked in front of her, Qiao Qiao lowered her head and did not dare to look directly into his eyes.

[Hey, host, what are you doing? At this time, shouldn’t you raise your face and smile and call him brother?

!】

Qiao Qiao felt that Shuling was right, but she couldn't laugh at all now.

The stone chamber in the dream appeared in his mind again, Jing Yan tearing the woman's hair, and he was holding a dagger in his hand, scratching the woman's face with a knife.

Qiao Qiao hasn't seen Heming's face turn into something, and the current situation he knows is all about Shui'er.

When you see her, you will be scared, and when you don’t see her, you will think about it. But sometimes the fear in your imagination will be more shocking than the real fear. Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and was about to look up, but she felt that the people around her were moving.

"What are you thinking, so trance?"

With a big palm pressing on his wrist, Qiao Qiao turned her head and saw Jingyan squatting in front of him.

He was tall and taller than Qiao Qiao even when he was squatting. Qiao Qiao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he smiled at him, and fell into Jing Yan's eyes. This smile was timid and lifeless.

"What's wrong with Jojo?"

After rubbing her wrist a few times, Qiao Qiao felt that Jingyan's eyes seemed to have changed. The next second she was pulled into her arms by Jingyan. Jingyan raised her face and curled her mouth slightly, and her voice was deep.

"Don't you want to see your brother?"

Qiao Qiao quickly shook her head, her eyes were in a hurry and helpless. She seemed to want to verify that she was not lying, but also took the initiative to catch Jingyan's neck. Jingyan hugged her waist and lowered her head to kiss her. Qiao Qiao closed her eyes. This delicate and harmless look made Jingyan's heart violent.

"pain……"

The arms around her waist made her breathless, and she couldn't help but moan.

After hearing this, Jingyan quickly let go of his strength, hugged her and kissed her in his arms, and felt much better.

"Jojo is very well-behaved recently."

Since Jingyan issued the ban, Qiao Qiao has never left the house. She stayed in the room honestly and did not go to see the messy people. Thinking of Qiao Qiao's obedience to him at night these days, he kissed her on the corner of her lips again.

"Jing Yu will be crowned by the king tomorrow. Now Jing Rui has already left the castle. If nothing unexpected happens, his army will attack here tomorrow. At that time, you should stay in the room and don't go anywhere. Do you understand?"

Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment and grabbed his clothes.

"What does brother mean?

Is Jing Rui going to rebel?"

She looked at him seriously with her little face raised, and the worries in her eyes were clearly visible. She didn't know who she was worried about. Jingyan teased her chin with her fingertips and joked: "Rebel?"

This is a fresh word.

Seeing Qiao Qiao still staring at her, Jingyan replied with a low smile: "If rebellion means killing Jingyu and seizing the throne of the king, then Jing Rui really listens to this word."

Qiao Qiao grabbed Jingyan's clothes tighter, "Then, is that brother really going to help Jingrui get rid of Jingyu?"

Mrs. Heming's tragic situation was caused by Jing Yu and Jing Yan at that time.

Qiao Qiao still can't figure out why Jing Yu let Jingyan enter the heavy prison. He was obviously helping Jing Rui but he harmed his mother in a blink of an eye. Qiao Qiao didn't know what Jingyan wanted to do. He was trapped in the game, but Qiao Qiao couldn't guess these things, and just hoped that he could tell her on his own initiative.

"elder brother?"

Jingyan responded softly, smiling faintly.

The ground is very cold, and it’s okay to sit for a while, but it won’t work after sitting for a long time.

Jingyan picked up the man from the ground. When Qiao Qiao put his hand on his shoulder, Jingyan saw a bloodstain on the back of Qiao Qiao's hand, which was accidentally scratched on the frame when Qiao Qiao was wiping the mirror.

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

Jingyan put her on the bed, held her hand and carefully examined the wound. He lowered his eyes and comforted him, "You don't need to know anything, just wait for your brother to come back."

Qiao Qiao opened her mouth and wanted to ask something else, and Shui'er's voice rang out from outside the door: "The third hall, a guest is visiting."

Jingyan stood up from the bed and knew that Qiao Qiao was dissatisfied with him and told her nothing. Jingyan kissed her again as comforted.

"Be good, I will explain everything to you after tomorrow night."

By then, won’t everything be a foregone conclusion?

Seeing Jingyan go out, Qiao Qiao turned her helpless eyes to the mirror.

Jingyan seemed to have eyes on her back. When he turned around, he happened to see Qiao Qiao looking in the mirror. His eyes turned a little further with her. Jingyan called her.

"What, what's wrong?"

Facing Qiao Qiao's gaze, Jingyan smiled slightly, her eyes were gentle and soft.

"It's nothing, I just hope that Qiao Qiao will not touch the mirror in the future..."

Jojo looked at him in confusion, "Why?"

Jingyan smiled even more gently, "Because... my brother doesn't like it."

“…”

The visitor was the high priest who had disappeared for many days. He told Jing Tai what Jing Tai told him truthfully. Jing Yan stood by the window and looked at the seat of A, sneering: "Since he has such great hope for you, then you can agree to him."

The high priest was puzzled, "Then do I still need to stop Jing Yu from taking the throne?"

"You can't reveal your identity in front of him. It's one thing to promise him, and it's another thing to let Jing Yu sit on the throne."

As if he thought of something interesting, Jingyan chuckled and said, "Let this throne be given to Jingyu first. I am looking forward to seeing Jingtai shocked."

The high priest nodded, "Well, Jingrui?"

Feeling the hesitation in the high priest's words, Jingyan pressed his lips, and the long eyelashes that covered his eyes drooped down like jade, and a light voice spread throughout the room:

"Tomorrow night, his dream of kings should be dispersed."

...

Jingyan did not come back to sleep that night. Before leaving, he came to see Qiao Qiao again and told Qiao Qiao to be obedient. Qiao Qiao was a little uneasy. This feeling of panic had also appeared when Jingyan returned from the military headquarters after his first evil spirit. Qiao Qiao couldn't help but hold Jing Yan's finger tightly and refused to let go, looking at him hesitantly.

"Brother, although I don't know what you are doing, but... can you give up?"

Give up, as long as you don’t continue to turn evil, we can get along well.

Jingyan didn't know Qiao Qiao's thoughts, as if he had heard some joke. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked moving, and his smile turned into a charming and diluted the alienation.

He tapped Qiao Qiao's forehead and said with a low smile: "Jo Qiao stop joking with her brother, wait for her brother to come back."

That night, Qiao Qiao couldn't sleep all night.

She knew that Jing Yan would not come back, so she sat in front of the mirror and said something to Shuling all night.

When it was lightly dawn, the window became lively. There were patrol soldiers and servants holding things constantly in and out. Qiao Qiao opened the bedroom door and found that Shui'er was guarding the door. When she walked out, there were soldiers stationed in the corridor.

"It seems that the situation is not small today."

Shuling felt sorry for Qiao Qiao. Seeing that she had been lying by the window and looking out, it thought about it and decided to remind her.

"Although I don't know when Jingyan will come back, I still need to tell you that after testing Jingyan's blackening value is extremely unstable at this moment, I guess he should be in an excited state."

"excited?"

Qiao Qiao was inexplicably panicked about this word, and there was a passage in the book that said: The only thing that can arouse Jingyan’s excitement is killing.

At noon, Qiao Qiao felt the temperature of the pendant on her chest increase a little. She was startled. When she took it out, she found that the pendant was still light pink. She breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed it back into the collar.
