Chapter 239 Worthy of the World

The sky is getting dark, and the ginger soup prepared in advance has cooled down.

Jiang Xuening still hasn't returned.

Yan Lin sent someone to invite him to discuss the next steps. Xie Wei lowered his eyes and picked up a snow-white handkerchief to wipe away the blood stains on his fingers. He said lightly, "I will come later."

He put down his handkerchief, had the mess inside the house cleaned up, and instructed the kitchen to warm up the ginger soup before leaving the room.

I happened to pass by Jiang Xuening's courtyard when I went to the front hall for the meeting.

He unexpectedly met Shen Zhiyi in the road.

This former imperial princess no longer loved old palace attire, only wore a deep red and white wide sleeved fairy skirt. She had just come from Jiang Xuening's courtyard, but seemed to have not seen anyone. Her eyebrows furrowed lightly, and her expression was not very relaxed.

She has a faint scar at the corner of her eye.

That was the scar left on her cheek more than twenty years ago when the Tianjiao and Pingnan Wang rebelled and captured the capital. When she was in the palace, she was always very concerned about the beauty of a woman's appearance, to the extent that she held this scar in her heart; Nowadays, after going through thousands of miles of marriage, the border has been sandstorm, and they have become puppets again. They no longer care about their appearance, so they have not even put on any hidden makeup, but rather have a more open and honest appearance when facing the truth.

Because there are some things that turn a blind eye and disguise peace, they are just hiding their ears and deceiving themselves. What should be there is not changed by hypocritical pretense.

In the afternoon, she met Zhang Zhe, and her emotions were already surging. Although there were many people in this huge mansion, she couldn't imagine anyone else who could speak. After sitting for more than an hour, she decided to pick up Jiang Xuening.

Unfortunately, she was not there.

Turning around the corridor for just two steps, Shen Zhiyi looked up and saw Xie Wei. At this moment, both of them stopped strangely, and the evening rain around them had not yet stopped, but suddenly a sense of stagnation filled the air.

There are some things that don't need to be told to others, they are clear between them.

What is the teacher of the diligent king, what is the imperial decree of the princess, what is the tribute to Your Highness and return to court

Everything is nothing!

Shen Zhiyi has never issued any imperial edicts, nor has she ever said she wants to return to court. Everything is just a big hand behind the scenes manipulating the overall situation, treating her as a puppet on the stage, thinking that they need to find a suitable and legitimate reason for everything they want to do, so that everything can continue with righteousness and grandeur.

And the so-called noble princess

Even the city gate cannot be freely crossed out.

Shen Zhiyi felt a bit sarcastic in her heart, but ultimately didn't show it. She just asked first, "Ning Ning said to go out of the city this afternoon to find Wei Liang. It's so late now, haven't you come back yet?"

She only met Zhang Zhe recently.

Xie Wei turned his hand behind his back and didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "If she should come back, she will naturally come back. By noon, she had already visited His Highness, and His Highness came to look for him again in the evening. He wanted to tell her that Zhang Zhe had come and inform her to meet him."

People around her have eyeliner, and her every move has been reported to the superior. This is very common for Shen Zhiyi, who grew up in the palace, and is no longer a rare thing.

But when he truly knew that Xie Wei was as familiar as his fingertips, he couldn't help but feel cold about it.

Even hatred.

Her face turned a bit cold, but she said, "It's just something I want to say to her. Now that Mr. Xie holds power and has taken over most of the world, there's no need to be so afraid of me, a puppet who is about to be abandoned. After all, the reason why you dare to let her see me again is because you're sure I won't say too much in front of her, making her difficult?"

Although Jiang Xuening rushed to the border and saved her together, the Xinzhou and Huangzhou armies were actually rebellious rebels. A princess of the royal family, saved by a rebel, already in an awkward position.

If it's just that, that's okay.

Unfortunately, the person she truly cares about has countless intimate connections with the mastermind behind the rebels.

You Fangyin has passed away.

Shen Zhiyi also knew that all of this was for her own benefit. Even if there were millions of difficulties in her heart, even if it seemed far from the truth on the surface, she was determined not to confide or complain to Jiang Xuening.

Because she is her only friend——

She doesn't want to add any troubles to her and push the situation into an unsolvable abyss.

Xie Wei was well aware of this and did not deny it. He just stared at Shen Zhiyi, his calm voice without any ups and downs carrying an extra ruthless flavor: "Since you know I'm taboo, you shouldn't always come looking for her."

Where is Master Xie from the former Fengchen Hall?

Shen Zhiyi could hardly believe how he could say such words.

In an instant, anger surged.

She coldly questioned, "Is this the way you like someone? Have you ever asked, does she know, and is she willing or not? There is never an impermeable wall in the world, nor a fire that can be wrapped in paper. She is sincere and kind, with a free nature, but you are hypocritical and cunning, calculating every step of the way, and not letting her know anything! What do you think of her? Are you a prisoner bird imprisoned by you?"

Xie Wei said, "What should she know?"

Shen Zhiyi sneered, "When it comes to the Heavenly Cult, you should first arrest and then release them, allowing them to cause harm to the world and bring about harm! Along the way, how many people have been displaced and died in war! Even if you want to rebel, this world has always been ruled by people, how can the people live up to it? If you say that your strength is not enough, you cannot stop it, it's okay. But unfortunately, you have spare strength and deliberately condone evil deeds, only to show your own selfish interests! If you want to destroy the court, take over the rivers and mountains, you can openly attack them, but you don't need to use such despicable means that regard human life as worthless!"

Xie Wei knows what he did.

He remained indifferent and indifferent to the so-called life and death of the people in the world, only saying, "So what?"

So what?

Along the way, I saw devastation everywhere, including merchants who had been robbed of their lifelong efforts, wives whose husbands had been killed, and homeless children

Crying and shouting one by one!

Shen Zhiyi followed the army, unlike Jiang Xuening and Wei Liang, who always lagged behind by a few days. Everything she saw and heard entered her heart, and she often couldn't sleep at night.

At this moment, she looked at Xie Wei as if she were looking at a monster.

What a cold-blooded person could say such a sentence?

She blinked, but finally calmed down. With a single sentence that was incredibly clear, she said, "Jiang Xuening is sincere and sincere towards others. She deserves to be treated well by everyone forever, but you don't deserve her."

After finishing speaking, brush your sleeves and leave.

The three words "not worthy" are really a bit sharp.

Xie Ju'an lifted his eyes and didn't want to talk to her too much. However, after taking a few steps, too much of the past appeared, so much so that the fierce aura that had already lingered in his heart became even more profound and difficult to suppress!

At this moment, the footsteps suddenly stopped.

He turned around, his voice seemed to be mixed with cold malice, and he said coldly, "The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle, and fools in the world are only worthy of killing! Your Highness Royal Highness Princess should be cautious when standing on a dangerous wall. One day, I will kill all the people in the world, and only blame the people in the world for being willing to be humble dogs!"

After speaking, he didn't even glance at Shen Zhiyi and went straight to the conference hall.

Shen Zhiyi watched as the figure of this person disappeared between the stacked pillars, only feeling a ferocity and madness hidden beneath his calm body that was about to lose control.

A gust of wind blew, and then I felt a chill all over my body.

She gently spread out her palm and lay quietly in the palm of her hand, a military symbol made up of two fragments pieced together. After watching for a long time, I felt a ridiculous sadness. I closed my eyes and clenched them bit by bit, letting them hurt.

*

Jiang Xuening didn't know how she came back, as if wandering through two lifetimes of illusions. The shadows of flowers and trees overlapped around her, and in an instant, she seemed to have transformed into the people she had seen and known in both lifetimes, making her feel heavy and unsure of where she was.

Until a palm suddenly caught her arm in the diagonal thrust.

She just came to her senses.

The rain has decreased, and Yan Lin did not hold an umbrella.

He was wearing a strong suit and couldn't help but furrow his handsome eyebrows when he saw her looking disheartened. However, there was a strange emotion surging in his chest, which prevented him from speaking for the first time.

Jiang Xuening looked at him.

His gradually maturing silhouette was covered by the falling night, with an indescribable low tone. He was supposed to ask "Where have you been", but his words turned into, "Ning Ning, I had a nightmare last night."

Jiang Xuening was stunned.

Yan Lin's hand was still holding her arm, and her dark eyes were staring at her: "I was a bit scared. In that dream, I treated you well or bad..."

Dreams

If she was still a bit dazed at first, she was awakened in a moment of shock.

A fear left over from a past life almost instantly struck my heart.

The face of Yan Lin in front of her overlapped for a moment with that of her previous life when she looked at her deeply in her palace. Jiang Xuening trembled fiercely in her heart, almost unable to control her subconscious reaction. She broke free from his grip on her palm and took a step back!

Yan Lin looked at it, but felt as if her heart was cut by a knife.

Before speaking to Jiang Xuening, he was even thinking that it was just a dream, just a dream.

But why is she really so scared?

In the boy's voice, there was a hint of hoarse choking: "The dreams you said and the dreams I had are all true, right?"

He is still the Yan Lin of this lifetime.

Jiang Xuening looked at him and immediately realized that her recent actions had hurt him, but she couldn't control it.

Is there such a strange thing in the world?

Or perhaps listening to Zhang Zhe's account today gave rise to an illusion of the intersection of past and present lives, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood?

No

She shook her head and felt a splitting headache, unwilling to stand here and say a few more words to Yan Lin.

===Kunning Section 295===

Just as she took a few steps out, the young man who had already shed his youthful vigor stood still as if he had been left behind.

That guilt surged out.

Jiang Xuening thought that they were not alone after all.

After standing still for a long time, she finally turned her head and said to him, "It was just a dream. When you wake up, it's all gone. Don't take it to heart."

Yan Lin stood under the wall covered in withered yellow vines, watching her walk away.

The graceful and delicate figure was illuminated by lamps one by one.

But in his eyes and in his heart, there was only desolation left.

*

By the time we arrived at the Xie Wei courtyard, the rain had stopped.

There were so many things in Jiang Xuening's heart that she didn't want to recall what Yan Lin's words just now meant. Even when she arrived at the gate of the courtyard and heard Dao Qin say that Xie Wei was still waiting for her, she still carried an inexplicable sense of emptiness.

She walked into the room.

There were exquisite bowls and plates on the table, with a few dishes made and a pot of wine placed. The two wine cups were already filled, but the liquid inside was no longer shaking. Obviously, it had been placed for a long time after being poured, so that the glass was as smooth as a mirror.

A new piano is placed on the table.

The original mess in the room had been cleaned up, and Xie Wei sat at the other end of the table, watching her walk in without any abnormality. He only handed her a glass of wine and asked, "What did you talk to Wei Liang about? He only returned so late?"

Jiang Xuening and Wei Liang were caught in the rain, so they naturally finished their work early. However, on the way back to the city, she unexpectedly saw Zhang Zhe and chased after him, saying something for a long time before returning.

She just doesn't want to tell Xie Wei.

As a result, she lowered her eyes and avoided his direct gaze as he handed her a wine cup. She smiled and said, "If I had been left behind by a farmer to speak for a long time, I forgot the time."

Xie Wei sat at the table, quietly watching her.

Her mood was a bit more chaotic than usual, and she didn't even think about why Xie Wei had prepared a table of dishes and wine. The wine cup was handed to her, and after speaking, she picked it up and wanted to drink.

Xie Wei's gaze fell on her finger holding the cup.

However, just as the cup of wine was about to touch his lips, he suddenly stood up, grabbed it with his machete, and threw it directly onto the ground, smashing it with a loud bang!

At that moment, his face had an indescribable coldness.

I don't know if she was more angry or resentful, so I mercilessly scolded her and said, "Jiang Xuening, are you a fool?"

Two drops of the splashing liquor fell onto the silver chopsticks, staining them slightly black.

It's just that Jiang Xuening didn't see it.

She even looked up at him with a hint of confusion, without realizing it.

In the afternoon evening, it rained and she came back from outside. The ends of Yaqing's hair were damp, and when Xie Wei's hand reached out and grabbed her shoulder, the palm was also cold.

So the anger became even more intense.

He directly dragged her into the interior, had someone prepare hot water for bathing, and with a cold face, he stripped her of all the clothes that had been soaked in the rain and cold, and threw her whole body into the bathtub.

Jiang Xuening fell into the room, almost completely submerged in hot water. Her wet bun immediately became disheveled, draped over her white and greasy shoulders, and draped over the undulating curves.

When a person emerges from the water, droplets of water hang on their thick and long eyelashes.

She only felt that this person suddenly became unreasonable. Just as she was about to ask, Xie Ju'an had already pressed down on the back of her neck, his lips overturned, tightly controlling her. With a hint of desire to vent in his aggression, he pressed against her lips and tongue, imprisoning her to the fullest.

He made Jiang Xuening wet.

But the water droplets on her body also soaked his originally neat robe, and she sobbed, feeling a suffocating sensation.

This time is clearly more intense than ever before.

But Xie Wei's eyes were calmer than ever before.

He said, "I want you."

Jiang Xuening looked at his paranoid and crazy expression, and for some reason, she felt the beating heart in her chest being cut open by someone with a knife. Blood flowed out of the wound, causing her to feel all kinds of sadness, but she couldn't say a word.

It's hard to imagine that she would feel sorry for this person.

Xie Wei suddenly became extremely disgusted with her gaze, raised his hand to cover her eyes, then buried his head and deeply kissed the crimson lips below, finally suppressing her and slowly delving deeper.

A near ultimate pleasure.But what remains after the end is a messy void and an unfilled fear, as well as a hatred towards oneself.

She lay beside him on her side.

After a moment of silence, Xie Wei asked, "Shall we get married?"

Jiang Xuening did not answer.

She gritted her lips tightly, tightly gripping one hand against her heart, trying to suppress something. Tears have moistened the pillow, afraid that when I let go, I would cry out loud.

Xie Wei waited for her for a long time.

But I dare not ask again.

Dressed in clothes and standing up, the residual wine in the room tilted over, and the clear light scattered outside the window. What came to mind was the words that Lv Zhaoyin used to joke about him.

Xie Ju'an may not always win, but he will never lose.

But if

Does he want to win this time no matter what?
