Tang Chuan was a little surprised when he saw Natasha, this princess was wearing the most gorgeous long dress, but a black tweed coat was put on the outside, and the hem of the skirt was lifted, revealing a pair of white sneakers.

It looks like I smuggled from a party scene.

Look at Joey behind him, well, that black coat is Joey's.

"Are you alright? I was scared in the twilight palace, and they said you were hurt very badly. Natasha looked at Tang Chuan with concern, how worried she was. However, when her gaze swept to the handcuffs at the head of the bed, and then down the chain to the back, she was stunned.

Behind him, Joey interjected at the right time, "You talk to him, and I won't bother." As he spoke, he looked at Helan again, "Colonel Helan, go out for a walk?" ”

Helan glanced back at Tang Chuan, "I'll go out for a while." ”

When the two of them went out one after the other, Natasha's face became a little embarrassed.

Tang Chuan, the emotional master who knows women's hearts best, said: "Is Her Royal Highness the princess unhappy to see me?" Then I'm really sad that my illness has worsened. ”

Natasha sneered and glared at him, "Call me Natasha." ”

Natasha heard the news that Tang Chuan was seriously injured and hospitalized just now, she was a little anxious, her identity was sensitive, and recently her father looked at her more strictly, so she didn't know how to come to see Tang Chuan, so when Joey said that she could bring her, she agreed without much thought. Before she met Joey, Natasha had never known that there would be such a perfect person in the world, noble-born, elegant, eloquent, and even gentle and considerate, who could take care of all your thoughts like a smart heart. This is different from Helan, who is also considered perfect, Natasha knows very well, Helan is not gentle and considerate at all for people who are not interested in her.

Natasha sometimes prefers to be naïve and not see everything too thoroughly.

For example, why did Joey take the initiative to bring her here?

Fortunately, the person she liked was a wise gentleman, who never embarrassed the lady and was very pleasing to people.

Natasha bent down, looked closer at the handcuffs, and teased, "You and Brother Helan...... Still playing this? ”

Tang Chuan was vigilant, "I warn you, you can't write this into your little yellow book." ”

"Warn Her Royal Highness the princess of the empire, you are not cowardly." Natasha flicked the chain on the handcuffs and laughed when she heard the sound of the chain shaking...... Evil.

Tang Chuan was speechless.

Natasha turned around and poured a glass of water for Tang Chuan, and halfway through, she thought that the skirt was too troublesome, so she knotted the long skirt, revealing her slender calves. Wind and fire, and a good man.

The two chatted for a while, and Natasha repeatedly confirmed that Tang Chuan was really okay before she put her mind at ease. She also has some understanding of the current situation, and from a personal standpoint, she must stand on the side of the Twilight Palace, but from a personal emotional point of view, she desperately hopes that things can go according to Tang Chuan's ideas.

She even felt that as a princess, she was also partly responsible for Tang Chuan's injury. Guilty, distressed, but powerless.

It would be nice if my brother was still around.

After a while, Joey and Helan return to the room, and Joey gently reminds Natasha that it's time to go. Natasha reluctantly said goodbye to Tang Chuan, turned around, but was stunned, "What's wrong with your face?" ”

Joey's face was broken, with blood on his lips and bruises on his cheeks. Is this being beaten? Who laid such a heavy hand?

Natasha suddenly thought of something, and looked at Helan suddenly, but saw that Helan had already walked to Tang Chuan's side with a calm face, and leaned over to tuck the quilt for him.

Natasha shut up.

It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the ward that she asked with concern, "Does it hurt?" ”

Don't ask who hit you, don't ask why you hit you, just ask if it hurts?

"Her Royal Highness the princess is too partial." Joey smiled helplessly.

Natasha didn't defend herself, "Thank you for today, and I broke your appearance." You can take this and wipe it. With that, Natasha took out a white handkerchief and handed it to Joey.

Joey took it with a smile and was about to say something, when there was a ding, and the elevator in front of him opened.

The people inside the door and the people outside the door were caught off guard.

The lively elevator seemed to be suddenly muted, and even Charlie's loud voice seemed to be suddenly cut off, and everyone looked at Joey and Natasha in astonishment, and then turned to look at Rhine with stiff necks.

Rhine's face was calm, he raised his right hand and put it on his chest, and bowed his head, "Your Royal Highness Princess." ”

The others came back to their senses and saluted, Natasha knew them and knew that they were all Tang Chuan's teammates, so she greeted them politely and cordially, and even took the initiative to get out of the way and let them go first.

To be treated so courteously by Her Royal Highness the Princess, all the single dogs were very excited. Only Rhine, who did not squint and looked indifferent, stepped out and passed by them very plainly. The military boots made a dull footstep on the ground, but they kept walking forward without hesitation for a moment.

Joey's gaze fell on his back, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes—Rhine never looked at him, not even a glimmer of afterglow.

The world seemed to break from among them, a bottomless crack lay there, and whoever fell down was crushed to pieces.

Natasha had already stepped into the elevator and gave Joey a strange look, "Won't you come in?" ”

Joey came back to his senses, and when he turned around, the light in his eyes was gone, and he smiled gently, "Sorry, I was distracted." ”

"That ...... It's your brother, right? Natasha was curious.

"Yes, my brother."

The elevator slowly descended, and Joey's answer was very soft, and he looked at himself in the mirror in the elevator, and suddenly felt as if he had stepped on the edge of a crack.

"Is your relationship bad?" Natasha also heard some rumors a few days ago, but her focus was on Helan and Tang Chuan, so she didn't know much.

Joey smiled faintly, "I'm not a good brother, and it's normal for a bad relationship to be good." ”

"I thought you could do anything."

Joey just smiled and didn't answer.

This was the first time he had responded to Natasha's question with silence, because it was a question that he might have to answer with a limited life.

When I returned to the apartment alone, it was already half past eleven in the evening.

Almost as soon as Joey stepped into the house, the light brain in the house lit up, and Shainin's suppressed angry voice sounded, "Joey, did you do Tang Chuan's thing?" ”

Joey chuckled, "I thought you'd come and ask me earlier." ”

"Do you have to be so unscrupulous?!"

"What is unscrupulous?" As he walked, Joey loosened his tie and threw it on the couch, then opened the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass of wine, "For me, the means to an end are the means. ”

"You're crazy."

Joey raised his head and took a sip of wine, and then poured back, as if he had finally come to life, leaning comfortably on the sofa, his legs raised and folded on the coffee table, the cold moonlight swept in his eyes, and the whole person was lazy but dangerous, "You don't have to scold me so hard, Helan has already beaten me just now." ”

"Well deserved."

"That's because you are all too kind, Tang Chuan understands me better than you, and he cooperates very well, isn't he?" Joey said.

Shainin was silent.

After a long time, he said again: "Even though your method works very well, have you thought about it, if anything goes wrong in the middle, if something really happens to Tang Chuan, what will be the consequences?" ”

"No in case." Joey shook his wine glass and looked at the night outside, "If Tang Chuan dies, the He family will be furious and find out about me, with Helan's personality, I will only have one way to die." At that time, all the contradictions will not be reconciled, the blood will envelop the whole Huajing, and it will be impossible for the Dusk Palace to be completely suppressed, and at that time - all the qiē will be shuffled again, and that is the most ideal effect. ”

"You won't really ......"

"Su Feng can die, Mu Lin can die, you and I can die, why can't Tang Chuan die?" Joey looked up at a certain place in his sight, as if staring at Shainin's face, evil and inexplicable, but the firmness in his eyes was as indestructible.

Shainin found that he really couldn't understand Joey more and more.

"What about the Rhine? Can he die too? ”

A person always has a weakness, right?

Joey slowly closed his eyes, teaching people to inquire into his true thoughts, "Someone dies, someone will live." ”

Shainin didn't comment, and at this time, Joey's phone call came in, and Kirin immediately cut off the communication between the two.

It was Dean's call.

"You accompanied Natasha to see Tang Chuan?"

"Yes, father." Joey leaned back on the sofa and didn't move, "It's always easy to guess a girl's mind, even Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"Don't be careless."

"You shouldn't doubt my methods in this regard, after all, this is a genetic inheritance."

Dean smiled, "I'm going to the Twilight Palace tomorrow for a family dinner, don't forget." Also, in a few days it will be that person's sacrifice day, so you should prepare in advance. ”

"I understand."

On the other side, Xie Ning pondered for a long time, and finally dialed Helan's phone.

"Garden House No. 13, how to go?"

"The map is here, you can get it yourself." Helan neatly peeled the apple for Tang Chuan.

"Impossible." Shainin categorically refused.

The knife in Helan's hand did not pause at all, cutting the apple into small pieces one by one, and he could also carve a flower to please Tang Chuan, "I'm sorry, there is no such option." ”

Xie Ning frowned - let him show up to see Helan and Tang Chuan? No, that's too risky.

It's not that I can't believe it, but Shainin is used to walking in the dark, and too much exposure is always unsettling.

However, it was more refreshing over there, and before he could answer, there was a sound of "toot-toot-toe-" and hung up.

Shainin: "......"
