"I'm sorry, the leader's face is really beautiful. I didn't mean to humiliate you just now..." Zhang Ning picked up the white silk strap on the ground and gently wiped her cheeks, hair and chest, then pulled her underwear and half-arm squid to cover her open white breasts. "However, in this way, the leader doesn't have to worry about getting pregnant."

But seeing the leader closed his eyes and motionless, Zhang Ning was worried that she would not breathe smoothly, so he took out the cloth from her mouth. The leader immediately opened his eyes, but his eyes avoided Zhang Ning, and his chest fluttered. Zhang Ning thought she was going to curse him, but she didn't say anything for a while. After a long time, she turned around and looked around. Zhang Ning's follower Xu Wenjun had already gone up, and there were only two of them in the dark room.

After a long time, the leader who lowered his head started to speak, his voice was relatively quiet, beyond Zhang Ning's expectations.

"Where are your current parents?"

When Zhang Ning heard the other party mentioning that his parents subconsciously thought she would find a way to curse her, but soon felt something was strange and had to nod in confusion: "Have you sent someone to check my details?"

The leader shook his head: "Do you have a birthday and half a piece of jade?"

"..." Zhang Ning's face suddenly changed and he took a step back. If a few people might know about his life experience, then almost only two people knew about the two things mentioned by the leader: he, his younger sister, and his adoptive parents both died.

He was speechless: "How did you... know?"

"I have... forget it." The leader looked up at him, "There is no need to find me. Let me go and I will write it to you again."

In Zhang Ning's eyes, the beautiful leader suddenly seemed to have become something extremely terrifying, which made him unable to retreat and almost retreat to the entrance stairs.

I am no longer the original Zhang Ning, but this body has not changed since I was born. He sometimes had evil or even deviant thoughts in his past and present life, but he is a ruler and has never done anything too out of the ordinary even in modern times. It is really hard for him to accept this.

"I don't have any paper or half a piece of jade." Zhang Ning shook his head pale, "Nanjing has a population of millions, and there are people with the same name, surname and character. I think you should have made a mistake."

The leader looked at him quietly: "Then why did you retreat? Didn't you just keep saying that I'm pretty? You called me Sister Fairy before without saying anything?"

"I..." Zhang Ning said, "I shouldn't have been rude to the leader just now, I... feel ashamed."

The leader said, "It looks very similar. You can tell when you look at the facial features carefully." She was silent for a moment and then said, "What rude? You held me hostage but for survival. I just blamed me for not telling you earlier, but I wouldn't say it like this if I had no choice."

Zhang Ning was stunned and didn't react for a moment. The leader of the church said again: "You took me into the cave and wanted to be a hostage, but I was startled by the church. Later, I wanted to find the secret passage exit and kidnapped me here. Now I can speak, so I tell you that the exit is not in this yard. Have you done anything else? I stole my gold, silver, pearls and jade?"

"How could I steal? I couldn't protect my life at first, so how could I take care of my property?" Zhang Ning stared at her blankly with his eyes wide open.

The leader smiled slightly: "That's right, you don't even care about your life, what bad things will you do? Why are you still standing there? Come and loosen your ties. Would I still harm you?"

"Oh...yes." Zhang Ning's legs were filled with lead, and he walked forward slowly. He wanted to look at the leader's face and wanted to see if it really looked like it, but he couldn't be more courageous to look at her for a moment.

When he walked in front of him, he could still smell a special smell, otherwise he would have thought he was dreaming. When he went to unzip the rope, his fingers were trembling, and finally he said tremblingly: "You kill me..."

"How could I kill you?" she said softly, "I am over thirty years old, and my appearance is not very useful, and that's it. Zhang Ning, you are the most important to me, my only hope and support in this life."

Zhang Ning finally couldn't hold on. As soon as he unbuttoned the hemp rope on her wrist, he fell to her knees, "I'm not a human, I... you saw it at the beginning, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The leader reached out and gently stroked his forehead: "Are you scared? Is it too late to tell you now? I really didn't want to tell you like this. Since you have passed the exam and become your official position well, there is nothing wrong with it. Why do you need to recognize each other? Why did I abandon you at the beginning? I just didn't want you to live with you and live a life of turmoil. I want you to live well. Ning... Ping'an, do you like this name? Will you blame me for abandoning you?"

Zhang Ning's face was covered in tears and shook his head vigorously: "No complaints, as long as you don't leave me behind in the future."

The leader smiled slightly, his face looked like a peach blossom, lowered his head and untied the rope on his feet, and whispered: "You go up first, I'll come later."

When Zhang Ning got up and left, she pulled up her skirt and underwear from her ankles, picked up the tuberose on the ground and sniffed it in front of her nose. Because she was wearing a pan-collar trousers, not wearing a tuberose would push up the underwear, revealing the shape of her nipples and expose her head. She had to put on this tuberose. Then she tied up her belt and cleaned it up for a while. Although her body was a little messy, it had been tidy, but she had no place to combed her hair, so she had to put it on her head at will and put it on with a golden hairpin.

When she stood up, she felt her legs soft and she almost sat back. After standing for a while, she calmed down and walked a few steps. She felt very uncomfortable, so she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, put it into her skirt silently and wiped it for a while before she walked up the steps.

When he walked up to the bedroom, he saw Zhang Ning standing there with his head down. Xu Wenjun, his follower next to him, looked at the leader in surprise and did not make a sound.

The atmosphere in the room was very silent, and at this time, the sound of "rustling" ink was heard. After a while, the leader said, "Come here, come and see, how are the words I wrote?"

Zhang Ning then walked to the desk silently, and saw the leader lifting his brush, and two lines of beautiful and plump words appeared from under the tip of the pen like flowing water: listen to the spring rain in the small building overnight, and sell apricot flowers in the deep alley in the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of the leader saying that he didn't want him to live a life of displaced and worried life with her, Zhang Ning guessed that his biological father might be the one from Jianwen, so he wanted to hide. He couldn't help asking, "Who is that?"

The leader then wrote the word "wen" on the paper. Zhang Ning was surprised when he saw it, "He himself?"

She nodded gently: "Your people are waiting outside first."

After Xu Wenjun was called out, she continued: "I was just a palace maid who had just entered the palace. I was not yet thirteen years old. Queen Ma was jealous and almost let you die before you were born. However, because of the urgency of war and I was prepared, I escaped. At that time, there was a fire in Nanjing. Fortunately, I met Eunuch Cao and found a place to settle down. It was only for more than 20 years that I didn't know where he was, and I didn't see anyone. Maybe it was Queen Ma who interfered with it."

Zhang Ning was silent for a while before saying, "It's like a dream."

The leader looked up and said softly: "You remember, my surname is Yao, my name is Yao Ji. He... I don't need to say anything."

Zhang Ning looked up at her, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she opened her mouth, and Yao Ji also looked at him expectantly. In the end, Zhang Ning still couldn't scream.

Yao Ji sighed softly: "I know it's too sudden, so don't worry... Don't call me in front of you in the future. This matter will not be beneficial to you if it is made public. You may be noble with the blood of the high emperor, but what's the use now? Even an ordinary vassal king is not as good as an ordinary citizen. I even hope that you are a commoner, and you can be an ordinary wife and an ordinary official in the Xuande Dynasty. In short, the dynasty no longer exists, it can only be the past and history, and it has lost value to you."

Zhang Ning asked again: "How have you been doing over the years?"

Yao Ji smiled reluctantly and said, "I have no worries about food and clothing. But I can't be a man upright, but I have to hide from the world. What's more, I'm alone... Zhang Ning, I miss you every day, what I'm doing when I look like, and I often dream of you at night." She looked at Zhang Ning gently, and her feelings were beyond words.

Zhang Ning was filled with mixed feelings, and his heart felt like he had been knocked over by the five flavor bottle, and his soul was drained. He didn't know what his body was doing. He raised his head and said, "I must find a way to let you live a good life in the future."

Yao Ji shook her head: "I have lived half my life, it doesn't matter. You'd better not be implicated."

"Actually, when I was in the capital, there were political enemies who used my life experience to attack me. I was not afraid of being involved, and the officialdom was not so stable. This time, my biggest purpose in the Chachen case was to excuse myself. How could this happen?" Zhang Ning said.

"I can help you with this matter." Yao Ji said.

Zhang Ning was silent for a while and asked again: "Is there any cultist who ward off the cult? Will it be detrimental to you?"

Yao Ji said: "No, except for the leader, there are four major sects. Two of them are old men who have gained power through merit; the other two are sent by the superiors, but they usually listen to me because my identity is much higher than them. But sometimes they can act beyond their authority. For example, at first you want to kidnap me, which is something that Jianwen would never allow; unless the war was forced, a former emperor would not allow his concubine to lose his dignity, and he would rather imprison me for more than twenty years."

"In this way, there is no danger in being arrested. Everything we do tonight is unnecessary?" Zhang Ning sighed.

Yao Ji said softly: "I have told you that this matter is not as serious as I imagined. It is just a matter of my words to let you go. You couldn't believe me at that time; I couldn't recognize you in public."

Zhang Ning couldn't help but say, "Can you... really forgive me?"

Yao Ji's face turned slightly red: "Don't mention it again... It's never happened before. You are in a bad mood. You'll be fine if you take a break."
