Chapter 109: Confession
Frankly
"Now that it's come to this, I don't want to hide anything from you either." Rong Jingze suddenly stood up, "Let's go outside and talk."
This matter is too important, even if it's the 28th Wei, Rong Jingze doesn't want to let them know. This thing can only be a secret between him and Xiao Fei.
Rong Jingze ignored Yin Ruofei's expression and directly called out to Rong Shi, ordering him to prepare the horses. Rong Shi didn't waste any words and immediately led most of the 28 guards, bringing a small team with them, escorting the two out of the military camp.
Meng Ke brought his own people to follow behind Rong Shi, who was really helpless about this little tail. However, seeing his loyalty was no less than the twenty-eight guards, he gradually accepted and tolerated him always appearing beside Rong Jing Ze and Yin Ru Fei.
As for the people who stayed behind, they went to inform Yin Haicheng about it. Although Rong Jingze was a prince and also a supervisor of the army, after all, this was a military camp in front of two armies. Moreover, he had Yin Ruofei by his side, whose actions were subject to Yin Haicheng's control, so they had to inform him, but only inform him.
"Prince Wang?" Yin Ruo Fei looked puzzled, completely unable to follow Rong Jing Ze's train of thought. What were they just talking about? How did it suddenly become going out to play?
It's not surprising that Yin Ruofei didn't understand, having been on the battlefield for nearly half a year now. Although it wasn't every day that they fought, it was almost like that; at most, one side would hang up a truce flag, and in three to five days or as little as one or two days, things would be settled.
If it were a ceasefire period, Rong Jingze would take him out for a stroll, but currently it's not a ceasefire period, his father Yin Haicheng has already mobilized troops to prepare for battle, so why did the prince bring him out instead?
Rong Jingze didn't respond to him, and instead galloped ahead, with Yin Ruofei following behind with a bitter face. His mind was filled with chaotic thoughts - could it be that the prince was really angry this time and wanted to kill him to silence him? No, that couldn't be right, the prince had been so good to him, how could he bear to kill him... Ahhh... but he had indeed offended the prince, how could he still be alive...
Yin Ruofei followed Yong Jingze's footsteps with a muddled mind, full of fanciful ideas.
"Let's stop here." Yong Jingze slightly raised his right hand, and the people behind him immediately came to a halt.
"Your Highness?" Gong Shi and others clasped their fists in respect.
"You take care of yours, and let's go for a walk up front." Rong Jingze waved his hand to stop Rong Shi from speaking, "No need to say more, you know my skills."
"Yes." Rong Shi and others looked at Rong Jingze's expression, they knew that this matter was absolutely irreversible, so they had to do as Rong Jingze said. Fortunately, the area here is vast, if someone really appears, they can rush over in the first time, so let Rong Jingze go.
Others backed away, doing what they had to do. Rong Jingze didn't really want to eat gamey food, but this was the best way to stop everyone from following him, and it was a good enough reason. After all, he needed to talk to Yin Ruofei about something that no one else could hear.
"Fei'er......" Rong Jingze dismounted, tossing the reins over the saddle, letting the horse graze on its own. He and Yin Ruofei's horses had been raised by their side for many years, long since becoming familiar with human nature, no longer needing supervision.
"Your Highness......" Yin Ruofei still looked worried, unsure of how she would be dealt with, her mood was really anxious.
"Feier, do you still remember what I said?"
"Ah...... which sentence......" Yin Ruofei frowned, unable to think of which sentence Rong Jingze was referring to.
"I've told you before, I know you're not a thirteen-year-old kid." With no one else around, Rong Jingze didn't even bother to address him as "Your Highness" anymore, and simply sat down on the grass, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds.
"Huh." Yin Ruofei was taken aback, and this sentence he really had an impression of, because at the time Rong Jingze seemed to want to say something, but in the end didn't say anything, and this sentence also left him bewildered, silently thinking about it for several days.
Yin Ruofei looked at Rong Jingze sitting down and also sat down beside him, just about to ask when he suddenly felt a movement in his heart, followed by his face turning pale.
"What's wrong, have you figured it out?" Although Rong Jingze didn't look at him, his martial arts skills were strong, and he could still clearly sense the subtle changes in Yin Ruofei's body.
"No." Yin Ruo Fei shook her head, suppressing the fear that made her want to tremble. "I don't know what you mean, Your Highness."
"It seems you still don't fully trust me." Rong Jingze chuckled self-deprecatingly, but immediately became excited again. "You're doing well, and you must keep it up - in this world, no one is important, the most important thing is to protect yourself." As for his senior brother, mother, and imperial brother, naturally he would take care of them, he hoped that Xiao Fei could live until the end, and even more so, he hoped that he could accompany him until the end.
"Your Highness..."
"I know you're not a kid, because... I'm also reborn. Rong Jingze took a deep breath and said it all out. "Back then, you were framed and kicked out of the Hou Mansion, bullied and wandered to the Medicine Hall where you met my master's brother, your master Han Susen. Later, your little sister was forced to marry, and you died miserably on the street... I know everything."
As soon as he said these things, Rong Jingze suddenly felt a lot lighter in his heart. So many worries had been hidden in his heart that he had long been unable to bear the weight, but he had no way of telling anyone about them.
He later found out about the things that year, he took revenge for Xiaofei and fulfilled his brother's wish, severely hitting the Yin family. He did not let go of the people who bullied and framed Xiaofei in the Yin family, and also made an enemy of Yin Haicheng.
Later, Yin Haicheng defected to the anti-Wang camp, which was a bigger blow to Daliang. Yin Haicheng was well-versed in military strategy and had a good grasp of the situation in the capital, leading to the rapid downfall of Daliang.
As for Yin Haicheng, Rong Jingze didn't hold a grudge. The situation was inevitable, and the two were like fire and water. One hated the other for indirectly causing his brother's death, while the other resented him for ruining his family and causing his wife to leave him. However, these were all forced by circumstances. If not, Rong Jingze wouldn't have wanted to offend Yin Haicheng, making Dalin lose a powerful arm.
After rebirth, Rong Jingze was almost ecstatic. Although he had to endure the suffering of cold poison again, as long as his Dali was still there, his mother's imperial brother was still there, and his respected Shixiong could freely collect medicine in the mountains and write medical books, he would be content.
Everything depends on that little child who died a miserable death back then, as long as he is fine, Shixiong will be alright, and he won't become sworn enemies with Yin Haicheng, and at least half of the victory can be preserved.
What happened next was that the affection he had for his senior brother back then had long been transferred to the child he had raised since childhood. Moreover, this affection which was originally close to familial affection had now transformed into another kind of emotion, an emotion of holding hands with one's child and growing old together.
Apart from hiding the part about Yin Hai Cheng, to avoid stirring up Yin Ruo Fei's rebellious heart again due to their already weak father-son relationship, Rong Jing Ze told him everything else.
Rong Jingze lay on the grass, saying with a smile, "I was originally going to pick you up and bring you to my side, but I didn't expect you to accidentally get into my carriage."
Rong Jingze couldn't help but want to laugh as he recalled the scene at the time.
"What... I was clearly dragged in..." Yin Ruo Fei muttered to herself. "But how did the prince know that I'm also a reincarnate?"
"From the moment we met, I recognized you from the massage techniques you used on my leg. Later, when you saw my senior brother, your surprised expression was something I couldn't miss." Rong Jingze smiled lightly.
It was all thanks to him that he had a rebirth and wanted to bring Yin Ruofei by his side. Since Little Fly was reborn, she still missed her senior brother so much. It was only a matter of time before the two met again. The variables in the back were too great and really couldn't be controlled. With his previous lead, the incident had pushed the waves and returned to its original track.
"Ah!" Yin Ruofei let out a low cry, he never thought that he would expose his horse's hoof so early.
"Up till now, have you ever blamed me for forcing you to stay by my side as a study companion back then?" Rong Jing Ze looked at Yin Ru Fei who was almost catching up with his current height.
Yin Ruofei gazed quietly at Rong Jingze, then suddenly smiled and said, "So the prince is still afraid I'll hold a grudge?"
Yin Ruofei took two steps back and bowed deeply to Rong Jingze, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your protection over the years."
Yi Zhi is Yin Ruofei's courtesy name, given by Mr. Sun when he first entered school. A courtesy name is a name used to address someone close to you, but over the years, except for Mr. Sun and a few senior fellow disciples, even Rong Jingze had never called him that, it was always Fei'er or Xiao Fei.
Now that Yin Ruofei has spoken, Rong Jingze is stunned and his heart is filled with wild joy. Little Fei's words have given him the confidence to say what he wants to say next, as if Little Fei has already understood his intentions.
"Fly...Ji Zhi!" Rong Jing Ze sat up with a surprised and delighted expression, pulling Yin Ru Fei to sit in front of him. "Do you know my heart's intention?"
"His Royal Highness has been protecting me for so many years, I'm extremely grateful." Yin Ruofei said with a flicker of her eyes.
"Not this!" Yong Jingze shook his head excitedly, "Fei'er, I like you!"
"I also like Wang Ye." Yin Ruofei smiled at Rong Jingze, "I knew Wang Ye liked me and wouldn't bear to pinch me to death — ah!"
Yin Ruofei covered her mouth, looking at each other in some surprise and panic.
"Strangle you? Why?" Yong Jingze furrowed his brow, unsure how Yin Ruofei could have such a misconception, thinking he would harm him.
"It's... it's... " Yin Ruo Fei stuttered, on the verge of tears as she was pressed for an answer by Rong Jing Ze, "It's... what happened with Prince Wang last night..."
"What are you crying about!" Yong Jingze was so amused by these words, but seeing Yin Ruofei's slightly red eyes, he could only coax her for a few sentences. However, this matter must be made clear, he couldn't let this little thing misunderstand him so deeply, lest she develop some inappropriate thoughts in the future.
"I'm really not sincere, Prince Wang, from now on I will never drink again!"
"No way!" Yong Jingze hastily blocked him, Xiao Fei would never drink again, where was his happiness?!
"Ah?" Yin Ruofei was startled by Rong Jingze's excitement.
"Xiao Fei, I want to tell you... " At the critical moment, Rong Jingze himself became shy and hesitated for a while before making up his mind under Yin Ruofei's gaze. "My liking for you is that of a husband for his wife. I want to be with you, grow old together, and after death, be buried together in the imperial mausoleum."
