Pretty Consort: Prince, Don’t Run away - C177

“You are …” Xi Mengyao was a little surprised, there was no such person as this with her memory.

“This should be the first time you’ve seen me. Sigh, speaking of this, you were just a baby then.” As the old man spoke, he seemed to sigh emotionally and wiped the corners of his eyes. “I didn’t expect to see someone from my past now …”

“Is that so?” Xi Mengyao was even more confused, she did not know what to say, and could only cough, but there was still some doubt.

“This old man is Ji Xuande.” As the old man said this, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve. It was carved with a unicorn character, and on the back of the pendant was the word ‘season’.

After Xi Mengyao saw this, she was greatly shocked. She turned around and looked at it carefully: “So you are the old man of the Ji Family? But, how could you be like this? ”

The Ji Clan was famous for its influence in the three dynasties, and they still had a son who was serving as an official. However, from the looks of it, he did not seem to be doing as he wished. She had some doubts, but the other party only smiled bitterly. It seemed like he did not want to say them.

This person had spent so much effort for the imperial government that even she had praised him many times.

Although the Prime Minister was a greedy man, he was still a man of justice. He was willing to speak in private about matters he was not used to, and would put on a straight face and act selfless, let alone talk about them.

“Since you don’t want to say it, then forget it.”

As she spoke, she looked at the crowd of people in the room and shook her head with a sigh. After thinking for a while, she came up with an idea.

“It’s still early, I’ll show you the way. If you can walk, then take your people to hide in a place where the wind can cover them. The heavy rain won’t stop for a while, you definitely can’t stay here.”

These people did not have much backbone, but now that Xi Mengyao had stepped forward, they did not care anymore and followed along.

That old man was the last to leave, and there was also that little girl. She seemed to like a lot, and always stuck by Xi Mengyao’s side.

Xi Mengyao did not say anything. She still had some spirit, so even if it was a little girl, she was still somewhat on guard.

There were about 10 people left in the room, it seemed like it would be inconvenient for them to move. These people looked very weak, so forcefully taking them out might not be good.

“Rest here now, and we’ll talk tomorrow. It’s already late, so it’s not good to force our way through. ”

The old man nodded in agreement, and turned to look at Xi Mengyao: “At this point, we should indeed rest for the time being, I really didn’t expect that you would also have grown. From the looks of it, you are already married, and now …”

“Prince Jing.”

Xi Mengyao laughed faintly, only to see that the other person’s eyes revealed an extremely surprised expression, she only shook her head: “The Emperor bestowed the marriage on you.”

“I didn’t expect it to be him, he …” Ji Xuande thought for a moment, but still nodded his head: “It is indeed worthy of your character.”

With that, he sighed and said, “I really didn’t expect that we would be able to repay our country with all our might. This is what happened to us …”

”

“You seem to know me well, but you’re not…” Xi Mengyao thought that it was weird, this person should have already left the capital before she was old.

“Elder sister!” At this time, Paner caught her by the hand and asked, “Then big sister, do you want to stay behind as well?”

“Naturally.”

After Xi Mengyao nodded her head, she looked at her and asked, “You little girl, how smart are you?

“I… “I am, am just a refugee …” Paner started to stutter at this time. The old man looked at her and shook his head as if he wanted to explain.

Xi Mengyao didn’t speak, and only looked at them with eyes full of disbelief. Seeing her act this way, the two of them naturally didn’t say anything else.

The two of them supported each other, and from the looks of it, there seemed to be something that she did not want to say. Xi Mengyao just watched quietly, and acted as if she knew what was going to happen.

Paner was clever, and immediately saw through it. However, her eyes looked even more sad, as if she had a history of her own.

Xi Mengyao thought for a while, then sighed and turned to look at Paner: “Girl, your every move is very polite.

Hearing her words, Paner was startled. In the end, she turned his head to look at Ji Xuande, and only after seeing him nod his head, she said softly, “Big Sister is right, I … My father was a salt officer in Jinzhou, but… But then it was looted. ”

Xi Mengyao was slightly startled, but she very quickly remembered this matter. A salt official was usually fat and greedy for money, everyone treated this position like a treasure.

However, there was only one exception. His father was the famous genius doctor of various countries, the chief imperial physician appointed by the late emperor. His mother was the youngest sister of the emperor. She was born intelligent and could be said to be a child blessed by the heavens. At such a young age, she was able to get a conversation and became a salt official.

Who would have thought that this person was a righteous person with an illustrious family background and was not afraid of others?

In the end, it was said that he was schemed against and his entire family executed.

“You … You are from the Yun Family? ”

Xi Mengyao was a little surprised. Looking at the little girl, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh: “You actually escaped?”

“At that time, I was sent by father to Medicine Valley to study medicine. By the time I got the news and returned, I was already … “Already …” As she spoke, she started to wipe away her tears.

“Merciless Heaven!” Xi Mengyao also clenched her teeth.

Everyone knew that it was a case of injustice, but no one dared to investigate it. Only Song Chongjing had spoken a few sentences, and then, he was sent to the border for three years.

Hearing her words, the mister by the side laughed and said, “Your temper is quite similar to your mother’s when she was young.”

Xi Mengyao frowned, in her memories, her mother was not that kind of person, and that person seemed to be very gentle.

It was unknown if Ji Xuande noticed, but he only shook his head and sighed, “When your mother was young, she was really famous for her beauty. But later on …”

He sighed again.

Xi Mengyao more or less understood, he definitely knew some of the inside information from back then. She wasn’t really that interested in her parents. There was only one thing she cared about, and that was the scars on her face …

However, now was not the time to speak. She simply shook her head and lightly skipped over the matter. “I don’t remember what my mother was like in the past. I only heard that she was very well.”

When he heard her words, the old tutor smiled as well. Recalling his appearance all those years ago, he sighed with emotion, “No one knew that she would marry your father.”

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Xi Mengyao again, “However, you are in the right place.

Xi Mengyao could only laugh bitterly when she heard him.

“But unfortunately, he’s too strong, and now the Emperor doesn’t like it either …” When Xi Mengyao thought about his current state, she shook her head.

These people were the family, but in the end they were.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the old man sigh as well. “Ah, the country is difficult. If it wasn’t for this old man …”

When Xi Mengyao heard this, she frowned. She seemed to be deeply moved by this man, and how she also looked at her. Xi Mengyao thought, looked at him and asked probingly: “Why are you like this … Did something happen? “
