But the history books have never recorded that this moment crossed Wang Su's shoulders, and Su Lan's heart was full of twists and turns.

She had imagined several times what it would be like to meet Qi Lang again in this life, but at this moment, there was only one thought, Qi Lang and the appearance in her memory could no longer overlap.

He walked forward slowly, his eyes were not half sprinkled, the young man in white in his memory of the past, wearing a bright yellow that symbolized the emperor, the smile lines at the corners of his eyes were smoothed by the might, and the woman in blue on his side gently put her hand on his arm, and walked slowly with him, dignified and luxurious, with a towering bun and a shallow smile.

Nalan Rui's eyes lit up, but he also smiled gently and walked slowly, and Su Lan, who was by his side, also walked with him. She suddenly felt that her feet were heavier than the world, and every step she took was light and silent.

Qi Lang and Nalan Rui were only five steps apart at the moment, Na Lanrui had a gentle smile on his face, and he spoke first: "Qi Jun has come from afar as a guest, and it has been hard work. ”

"Congratulations to Lord Chu first. Qi Lang also smiled slightly, his gaze swept over Nalan Rui's side, and stopped at Su Lan, but he didn't move.

Su Lan met Qi Lang's eyes with some surprise, she had never seen such complex emotions in his eyes, attachment, missing, pain, but she was not surprised. Su Lan tried her best to control the eyes that greeted her, all her emotions and hatred were carefully stored, and her expression was flat, as if she was looking at someone she had never seen before.

Her slightly bald nails were embedded in the palm of her hand at the moment, and when she moved slightly, the pain was unbearable, Xuan Xi stood beside her, taking in her and Qi Lang's eyes, but she looked at her hand by surprise, and sure enough, the palm was already bloodstained, but she was completely unconscious.

The deepest impression of him in this body is not the smile of holding an oil-paper umbrella in the deep alley, but the cold face that coldly left behind at that moment, he was never just a lover, from the moment he fell, she never knew that he was an emperor.

"You have come thousands of miles, and I am deeply touched by this kind of friendship. Nalan Rui was such a character, where could he not see the turbulence of Qi Lang and Su Lan, but he still smiled and continued his diplomatic rhetoric.

"Qi Chu has been friends for many years and depends on each other. Qi Lang retracted the realization that fell on Su Lan's face, and his expression did not change, "I am here to be the king." ”

"Thank you. Nalan Rui smiled, "Last night, the heavy rain stopped at the beginning, and the road was muddy, so let's set off for Jingzhao." Qi Jun, please"

"Chu Jun, please. ”

The two emperors turned around and walked towards the chariot, Su Lan just lowered his head and followed Nalan Rui's side, not seeing Qi Lang deliberately taking a few steps behind, locking his eyes tightly on her, his eyes flickering, like greed.

The convoy of the State of Chu went first, Su Lan turned over and got on the horse, and followed the side of the chariot of the Emperor of Chu, the other chariots of the State of Chu paused, and the Emperor of Qi followed ten steps away.

In the chariot, Qi Lang couldn't help but lift a corner curtain and look at the crimson back in front of him. Thin and straight, the crotch is still purple clouds, without a cloak, and the figure looks even thinner.

Four years have passed, and the bright and amazing girl in his memory has changed. She opened her mouth a little, and her facial features were far more gorgeous than back then, but the eyes that always looked at him with love were now empty and cold, and under the crimson robe, he was unfamiliar with it.

He didn't know what it was like to be lost and regained, and he didn't have time to think about it, a heart was up and down, but he could clearly feel the temperature of his heartbeat, and after four years, he finally felt again what it was like to beat in his chest.

Concubine Lin looked at his movements, and couldn't help but think about the young man's magnificent complexion. She had never seen such a good-looking man, although he was as cold as a blade, he still made people's hearts bloom.

Qi Lang slowly lowered the car curtain, leaned back on the car mat, slowly closed his eyes, and there was no longer half a gaffe.

"Your Majesty, that is Su Lan. Lin leaned low beside him and said.

Qi Lang opened his eyes, his eyes were full of inquiry, and he motioned for Lin to continue, but Lin was speechless for a while, and said without thinking: "His father rebelled against Chu in the past, and then betrayed me again, which shows how his family style is." But after he is a chaotic minister and thief, he can still be appreciated by Emperor Chu, and he is a very popular minister, which is really eye-opening. ”

Lin Shi saw Qi Lang's face sink little by little, like ink, she knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she was secretly ashamed, she didn't want to say this, but the ghost sent God to say such a thing.

"If you don't understand the affairs of the Su family, don't talk about it. Qi Lang's words were calm, but his voice was as cold as frost, piercing her skin. This time, he brought her here, but because she entered the palace after she ascended the throne, when Ah Yan crowned the southern kingdom, she was still young, and she had never had much contact with Ah Yan, let alone seen Su Lan's appearance when she was a teenager, and she was the safest person for Su Yan among his few palace concubines, and that's all.

In the year of the Su family's accident, she was only twelve years old, and she really didn't know much about this family that was powerful for a while and ruined. Qi Lang has been on the throne for a few years, and there are few concubines in the palace, and she once thought that she was just in love with the noble concubines. When he entered the palace, he realized that although the concubine was arrogant, she was not Qi Lang's mind.

When her mother entered the palace to visit, she once mentioned that His Majesty's old love for a person was unforgettable. can make him ask for it, but the old love is unforgettable.

It's just that Su Yan, who failed to marry her, was leaning into the world, and she was crowned a boudoir, but she died in vain because of her father's sins.

The thoughts in her mind turned a few times, but they changed color in an instant, and she looked at Qi Lang more and more frightened, but saw that his expression was gentle, and her eyes didn't know where they had fallen.

That kind of tenderness, which she had never seen before, was shallow but so real.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The frame stopped in the North Palace, and Nalan Rui personally sent Qi Lang into the hall, but Su Lan was no longer by Nalan Rui's side, only Xuan Xi followed by his side, without saying a word or smiling, and still had an outstanding demeanor.

On the corner tower on the east side of the North Palace, Su Lan and Situ Yanruo, who were supposed to leave, stood side by side.

"You're not afraid of being seen. Su Lan showed her first smile after seeing Qi Lang.

"Now there is a lot of chaos in this North Palace, and your emperor's eyeliner can be thrown off casually. Situ Yanruo smiled slightly, "How do you feel when you see him?"

"There's a feeling of humility no matter where you stand. ”

"Even though it took me four years to climb to the position I am today, I still feel humbled when I see him. Su Lan sighed, "It's still as far away as a mountain and a sea from him." I don't even have the qualifications to look at him openly. ”

"Just like you and I are standing in this corner tower at the moment, we can already see the panoramic view of this North Palace. Situ Yanruo patted her lightly on the shoulder, "But you can see this Changping City clearly, but you still have to go up to that higher building." ”

"On the last day of the twenty-first year of Yanxi, I escaped the last group of killers before entering Chu. Su Lan smiled slightly, as if recalling an incomparably sweet story, "I covered the wound on my arm, curled up in the carriage, and secretly swore an oath in my heart. ”

"One day, I will climb to the highest place in this world, and I will see what kind of scenery he is willing to give up everything for the sake of what kind of scenery. ”

"Abandon everything that is human. ”

"But have you ever thought that when you reach that position, you may have to give up everything as a human being. Situ Yanruo let out a long sigh, pulled her shoulders, and forced her to look at him.

"I don't care. Meeting Situ Yanruo's eyes, Su Lan smiled suddenly, but her eyes were as cold as frost, "Aren't I living in hell every day now?"

"A high position and a proud spring breeze, it is also considered purgatory?"

"But my heart has long been broken. ”
