Yun Yao froze.

She looked at King Lanling in a daze, and didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

King Lanling's eyes were full of sorrow, gloomy, gloomy, painful, and annoying...... All kinds of emotions are intertwined in it, and even the voice is dull. It was as if he had grieved to the extreme, and he didn't even have the strength to be angry at all.

His low, deep voice echoed through the room, with three parts hoarseness, three parts sadness.

"What is the use of the riches and beauties of the reward? The rumors in Yecheng are better than one day at a time, and everyone avoids me like a snake and scorpion. My colleagues and best friends around me died one after another, but I am the only one who is still alive. I think it's supposed to be my life too hard, it's really a lonely star. ”

When King Lanling said later, he was a little self-deprecating and a little sad: "At first, I tried to refute those rumors, but gradually, even I believed it. If it weren't for my fate, I was destined to cut off my six relatives, how could I let the people around me die one by one? ”

He looked sideways at Yun Yao, and there seemed to be a thousand emotions churning in his eyes. That heavy dark color made Yun Yao breathless. She calmed down, held the hand of King Lanling, rubbed it lightly on her cheek, and said in a low voice: "Don't think like this, it's not your fault. ”

Even Yun Yao herself didn't know why she would make such an intimate move.

King Lanling's hands were cold and rough, with thin calluses on his fingertips, which contained extremely powerful power. She pressed her cheek to his palm and said gently, "It's not your fault. There are no eyes on the battlefield, and soldiers are dying every day. You don't have to take these faults on yourself, the so-called words of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star are just rumors, you don't have to take them to heart. ”

King Lanling said in a dumb voice: "I was born at a fierce hour, and I am destined to have an ominous life. ”

She shook her head slowly and said softly, "It's not your fault. ”

King Lanling closed his eyes, and the words were hoarse: "I am from a small person, and I was born with my father and mother." ”

Yun Yao shook her head heavily and said softly, "It's not your fault. ”

King Lanling withdrew his hand little by little, moving very slowly, as if he was coveting her warmth. In the end, he withdrew his hand, and a low voice echoed in the room: "You were born in a high-ranking family with five surnames, so you never minded my mother's family?" ”

"I ......" Yun Yao was stunned for a moment, and asked with some surprise, "Why should I mind?" ……”

She remembered that this was an era when the world did not intermarry, so the King of Lanling asked her so, so the King of Hejian would seize this matter and make a big fuss. In this era, she is probably the only one who does not adhere to the judgment of the world.

Yun Yao tilted her head slightly and said comfortingly: "Why should the king be arrogant? You have made great achievements in your life, and many families are not as good as you. ”

She lay down on her side, pillowed the long hair spread out by King Lanling, and said softly: "The king said that his mother is a small family, could it be that before his grandfather was convicted, he was also a small family?" If you really come from a humble family, where can you be in a high position? ”

Since this is the knot in the heart of King Lanling, it is necessary to start from the root and slowly untie it.

King Lanling looked at her sideways, and the gloomy and gloomy colors in his eyes slowly dispersed little by little.

"Nope." He shook his head slowly and said, "Before my grandfather was convicted, although he was not as good as the five surnamed Gaomen, nor as good as the Xie and Huan families, he was not among the lowest. But then my grandfather was imprisoned, and the whole clan was implicated, so the clan slowly dispersed. ”

Yun Yao sighed softly, tilted her head slightly, and her eyes seemed to be encouraging.

King Lanling said: "But at that time, my grandfather was imprisoned, and my mother, as the daughter of a criminal minister, was put into the court as a maid. Everyone in the world knows that the mother family of Lanling is small, and the things of the past years have been forgotten cleanly. As he spoke, his voice was a little muffled.

Yun Yao stared into his eyes and said word for word: "But in the past, it was still Wang Xie Tang Qianyan." ”

King Lanling was slightly shocked, and his eyes showed a little astonishment. He leaned down slightly, looked into Yun Yao's eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Why?" …… Everyone in the world minds my mother's family, why is it only you who say 'Wang Xie Tang Qianyan in the past'? Why ......"

He said "why" over and over again, with a deep look of confusion in his eyes.

Yun Yao smiled: "Because the king is very good." ”

King Lanling looked at her deeply, and there seemed to be a storm gathering in his inky pupils.

Yun Yao smiled again: "Besides, the king of Hejian is not the only brother of the king. Even if the king of Hejian is obsessed with the judgment of the concubine, everything is aimed at the king, and there are also the kings of Yuyang and Ande, who are equal to the king. The king really doesn't have to be presumptuous and stick to this. ”

King Lanling shook his head slowly, and said helplessly: "No, he is the only one who is targeting everything." I think it's because my life is bad and my birth is ominous, and he looks at me very unpleasantly. ”

Yun Yao sighed lightly and said in surprise: "Why is this?" Even if the king of the river doesn't like the king, he won't target everything? "Just now the King of Lanling himself said that the King of Hejian would burn the letters and documents that he had bothered to collect in front of him. If it's really because of the unpleasant look at King Lanling, why bother so much? ...... "When the king was young, did he really not offend the king of the river?" ”

She paused, and then said, "Or the king's biological mother, who once offended the queen of the past?" ”

King Lanling shook his head and said, "I have indeed never offended him. But at that time, I had heard the palace people mention that the lady ...... The queen was so disgusted with me that she was full of fierce words in her words. I think it's because the king of Hejian was influenced by the queen that he targeted me everywhere. ”

Yun Yao suddenly asked, "I heard that the king is the same age as the king of Hejian?" ”

King Lanling said: "Yes, I and the King of Hejian were born in the same year. ”

Yun Yao was stunned for a while, and King Lanling was also stiff, and his eyes slowly became more annoyed.

"I have heard that the queen ...... The year that lady entered the house was the same time that my grandfather was in prison. I also heard that my mother was unparalleled in appearance and famous in Beijing, and even my father was fascinated by her, but my mother was unwilling to marry my father. Then...... At that time......"

When King Lanling thought of it, he couldn't help but be a little frightened.

How could it be so coincidental that one had just entered the palace, and the other was the daughter of a criminal minister, and he was filled into the court as a maid. The two gave birth to children one after the other, and on the day the child was born, her father died violently in prison. How could things be so coincidental, how could they be so coincidental!

Yun Yao muttered, "How can this be? Could it be that the two families are falling against each other and stumbling each other, which will cause such a coincidence? Or did someone design to put your grandfather in prison in order to please Emperor Wenxiang, and then let your mother be imprisoned for her crimes, and finally give it to your father? …… Alas, don't look at me like that, my lord, I'm just guessing. ”

King Lanling closed his eyes, and his voice fell silent little by little:

"You're not speculating. In fact, what you just said has helped me a lot. ”

――――――――――――

In the end, Yun Yao fell asleep in the arms of King Lanling.

She stayed up late at night with King Lanling, but she couldn't stay up, so she rolled up the quilt and fell asleep. King Lanling lay beside her, looking at the roof beams carved with fish and birds, quietly thinking about his own thoughts. I haven't slept for a long time.

It wasn't until the sound of breathing around him became soft and shallow that he suddenly realized that it was late at night.

King Lanling looked at her sideways, his eyes were a little confused, and there was also a little faint darkness.

In the end, he couldn't hold it back, raised his hand, and slowly stroked her long hair. There was a slight tenderness in his eyes, and his movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of waking her up, and as if he was afraid of shattering a gentle dream.

Unconsciously, King Lanling had a heavy smile in his eyes, and said silently: You are very good.

- It's like a dream that you can never wake up from, and the dream is full of hazy sunlight.

He tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and stared at her with heavy eyes, over and over again, slowly becoming desolate.

――You're good.

- But you can't stay with me for a long time.

-- There is no one in this world who can stay with me safely for a long time.

King Lanling closed his eyes, and his face was faintly pale. Those gray memories, those fateful rumors, those omnipresent sarcasm and ridicule, poured in from all directions like a tidal wave, like a heavy night, and weighed him down.

He remembered the words she had just said, those eyes that were as warm as the morning sun, and his heart suddenly became peaceful.

Like a lone traveler in the dark night, he saw a warm and bright fire. Even though he knew that it was a moth to the fire, he wanted to get closer to dispel the cold darkness.

He slowly stroked her long hair, and suddenly leaned down and kissed her lightly.

That's it, that's it.
